Chapter 1141: Enemies Meet

Before that, Hugo really hadn't seriously thought about the question: if it was up to him to decide, which role would he play? At this time, when the answer blurted out, Hugo realized that the reason why the script of "Seven Deadly Sins" made his blood boil, in the final analysis, was actually because the role of Anonymous made him feel the great challenge of acting again!

Although the two characters of Mills and Samose also have room to play, in terms of the difficulty of the challenge, Anonymous is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of the whole movie.

Anonymous is arguably one of the most evil classic characters in film history, and although this character is a cold-blooded villain from "Schindler's List", Amon Goss is fundamentally different from an acting point of view.

Amun's cruelty and brutality were the result of the entire era and circumstances, and he could have ordered the death of a single life in an understatement, because it was lawful or even accepted under the circumstances. Purity is encouraged. So when playing the role of Amon, in addition to the coldness in his bones, the most important thing is to show Amon's deep inner struggles and entanglements, he wanders between faith and emotion, he longs to become a respected existence like Oscar Schindler, and he also longs to get the sincerity of the maid Helen, but the huge pressure of the whole society has distorted his values, and his resistance has been extinguished after all.

But Anonymous is different, living in a contemporary environment, although the social status quo is depressing, but in the face of the same environment, everyone has the freedom to choose, for example, Mills chose to believe in hope and advance head-on, for example, Samosak chose to hide his faith in the depths of his heart and hope that the flame of hope will not be extinguished, while Anonymous chose to complete God's punishment and redemption in a martyrdom way, and found an exit according to his own perfectionism. This is the initiative of Anonymous.

So, Anonymous didn't waver in anything, and he didn't question his beliefs in any way. Anonymous is calm, wise, gentlemanly, paranoid, composed, calm, cunning, and even a little smug and arrogant. But if you dig deeper, Anonymous is angry in his bones, he is disappointed and angry with this society, he is jealous of the happiness of others, he is envious of the success and glory of others, and because of his own failures, he becomes cynical. But this anger is well hidden in the depths of his heart - because he thinks he has found the perfect way to achieve his ambitions and dreams.

It can be said that Anonymous and Amon are very different. In the course of the performance, Amon is outgoing and direct, his eyes and expressions reveal the true feelings of his heart, Hugo can make those Schindler's Jews feel fear with a single look, and the audience is also most impressed by Amun's eyes after watching "Schindler's List".

But Anonymous is introverted, his cruelty and ruthlessness are imperceptible, and from the outside, he is a normal person, and no one will even suspect him as a murderer. This kind of cold-blooded evolution into an elegant gentleman, and only after people learn the truth will goosebumps come late and make people shudder.

Anonymous is more like a charismatic villain like Dr. Hannibal in the "Silence of the Lambs", admirably elegant but outrageously evil at the same time. Therefore, from the perspective of performance, Anonymous and Amon not only have completely different performance methods, performance focus, performance strength, and performance direction, but also the difficulty of the performance is not a level.

When people mention the famous charismatic villains in film history, Anthony Hopkins's version of Hannibal and Heath Ledger's version of the Joker are the first characters that come to mind, and then Kevin Spacey's version of "Cripple" Ginter, who is also Kevin Spacey's version of Anonymous, but no one will mention Amon Goss in "Schindler's List".

Anonymous is the biggest challenge of Hugo's career so far, there is no doubt about it. Of course, the premise is that Hugo can get this role!

Thinking of this, Hugo became more and more excited, and he even couldn't wait to play the role.

"Wow, unexpected...... However, it is a reasonable choice. David Geffen looked at Hugo, whose eyes were full of infinite excitement, and smiled dumbly. Unexpectedly because he originally thought that Hugo would choose the actor Mills, and Anonymous could only be regarded as the male number three; It is reasonable because during the conversation with Hugo just now, you can vaguely feel Hugo's fanaticism for the script and his dedication to the role.

David suddenly understood the reason why Hugo's every choice of works would surprise the media, probably because the media always thought that Hugo would choose works for the box office and popularity - this is also the right choice for most actors; But often Hugo chooses his works for the sake of the script and for the characters. At this point, David found a soulmate.

"It's just that I didn't expect it...... Oh, no......" David originally wanted to say that he didn't expect a sunny gentleman like Hugo to play a serial killer, but after thinking about it, David thought of "Schindler's List", and his words became fragmented, "I originally envisioned Michael Staip. stipe) starred in Anonymous, they have a similar temperament, but if it were you......"

David was still a little hesitant, looking Hugo up and down, but he didn't know what to say. Then he smiled, "What am I thinking, I didn't get this job, it's not something I can think about right now." Indeed, the director of the "Seven Deadly Sins" has not yet been decided.

Hugo's attention was not in the second half, but in confusion, he said, "Michael Staple? The name is really familiar, but Hugo's memory of the name is really terrible, every time he mentions the name, he feels like a memory gap, and finally David reminded, "Band of the blink of an eye." ”

"Aha! Lead singer! Hugo's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that Michael Stape was the lead singer of the band Eyeball, but then Hugo was surprised, "You actually want to find Michael Stape to play Anonymous?" "You know, the band is a pure rock band, and Stape has never acted.

Looking at Hugo's surprise, David chuckled twice, but then Hugo said with a depressed face, "I'm also the lead singer of a rock band!" ”

David actually preferred to find Michael Staple, who has no acting experience, to play Anonymous than him, which made Hugo really frustrated.

"Ah......" David was stunned, but he didn't know how to take it. Thinking about it this way, Hugo is indeed much more suitable than Stape.

Hugo looked at David so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, and inexplicably felt very happy, which made it really interesting to overwhelm this future director with an uninhibited personality and a sharp style, so Hugo's eyes widened and said seriously, "Can I understand that you agree with my point of view?" Or maybe we made a deal? ”

Agreement? What protocol? David didn't keep up with Hugo's rhythm and was speechless for a while. "What agreement?" A voice came out, but it wasn't David's, David and Hugo didn't have to turn their heads, they could see Martin standing next to him with Brad, and it was Martin who spoke, and he showed a polite smile to Hugo, which he had always been very good at in superficial work, and then looked at David, "Good evening, I'm Martin Baum, you must be David Geffen, I just heard a lot about you from Cronenberg." ”

Instead of looking at Hugo, Brad quietly walked up to David and held out his right hand, "Good evening, I'm Brad Pitt." I've watched 'Alien 3' before, and I like it very much, and I even mentioned it to Martin to see if I have a chance to meet the director who made this movie. ”

Martin and Brad's words are typical social clichΓ©s, and there is nothing wrong with them, just like "long-standing admirers". But David turned his head to look at Hugo, and there was a playful smile on the corner of their mouths: they remembered Hugo's opening words just now. In this comparison, the gap comes out.

But Martin and Brad didn't know why, and watched in wonder as David and Hugo exchanged glances. Brad couldn't cultivate home, he glanced at Hugo suspiciously, and when Hugo's eyes came, his brows furrowed slightly, although he didn't put all his feelings on the surface as before, but he could still detect his rejection; Martin was much more sophisticated, and he said directly, "It seems that you guys had a good chat just now." ”

Martin not only did not evade, but also directly picked out the topic and appeared above board, which also made David and Hugo unable to avoid, which is obviously much smarter. Martin continued, "Tonight a lot of people want to know Hugo, but you've been hiding here and talking. Those who don't know think you're good friends you've known for years. Belch...... Or is that just the case? ”

David was really inexperienced, and he was blown up by Martin at once, "No, no, Hugo and I just met tonight, but we just talked about some movie topics, and I forgot a little about myself." David leaked out in the blink of an eye, which made Brad look at Hugo again, as if to say: we are still on the same starting line.

"Movies? Are you talking about the 'seven deadly sins'? Brad wasn't sophisticated, but he had grown a lot, and he turned his gaze to David, and with a look of inquiry, he said curiously, "We were discussing this movie with Cronenberg just now, and this script is really interesting, isn't it?" ”

Interesting, that's Brad's word. From this point, it can be seen that Brad began to become tactful under Martin's tutelage, while Hugo's words, which were still "stubborn" under the tutelage of Joseph and Rick, were completely different.

David didn't notice this, and looked at Brad with interest, he had already heard a lot of good things about Brad, and after meeting him today, David was naturally very curious, "You are also interested in this script?" Hugo and I were just discussing the three characters in the story, and Hugo thought ......"

"I feel like there's something worth digging into for each character." Hugo interrupted David's words and took over the conversation, so that both Martin and Brad looked over, and Hugo also met his gaze, and said with a smile, "What do you think?" ”
