Paul Newman, a legend in film history. In the selection of great actors in major authoritative professional film magazines, he can undoubtedly rank among the top ten, this handsome, handsome, elegant and romantic actor, has a legendary and great life, his wonderful acting skills have become the most beautiful scenery on the big screen, although ten Oscar nominations only brought him the only actor Xiaojinjin, but the Emmys, Golden Globes, Cannes, Berlin have all rewarded his superb acting skills, which also proves again, Awards are not the only criterion for proving the greatness of an actor.

During Paul's long career as an actor, he left behind "cats on hot tin roofs." on。 a。 hot。 tin。 roof), "the. Hustler), "HUD", "Cool. hand。 Luke)", "The Great Judgment (the. verdict)", "The True Color of Money" and other masterpieces; At the same time, he is also an excellent director, and a "rachel. Rachel)" earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

It can be said that Paul is a more senior and excellent actor and director than Clint Eastwood, not to mention that he and his second wife, Joanne Woodward. Woodward's 50-year-old relationship has become Hollywood's most beautiful fairy tale reality.

Not long ago, the "Los Angeles Times" called Hugo "the successor of Paul and Newman", but today Hugo is in direct contact with the deity.

When you see Paul, you will be immediately attracted by his blue eyes, and even Hugo, who is also a man, will be attracted to those blue eyes, which seem to be sparkling and sparkling, and people will sink into them.

After Paul greeted Tim and Coen brothers, Ethan took the initiative to introduce, "This is Hugo Lancaster." ”

Paul smiled, "Of course I know that there aren't many people who don't know Hugo in recent months." Paul's sparkling eyes made Hugo laugh too, Paul sensed the deep meaning of Hugo's smile, and couldn't help asking, "Why, you should be my fan too, right?"

In fact, in the entertainment industry, the most polite and scene sentence is "I'm your fan", but in fact, maybe I haven't seen each other's works at all, just use such words to pursue each other. In this case, many real fans will be considered insincere when they come into contact with idols, which has to be said to be a very helpless reality.

Paul has been in the film industry for more than 40 years, and he is highly respected, and he must have heard a lot of such polite words.

Hugo was also amused by Paul, in fact, strictly speaking, he is not a fan of Paul, because he crossed the relationship of his previous age and missed the golden age of Paul's career as an actor, "No, I prefer Marlon to Brando than you." Hugo's honesty made Paul burst out laughing.

Paul is sixty-nine years old this year, and the years have clearly left a deep imprint on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his youth is no longer there, his face is old, but even so, the elegant temperament on his body is still exciting, and the hearty smile still exudes charm, this kind of wealth from the years, which is the connotation that Hugo can't have when he is not yet thirty years old.

"When I saw you just now, I actually remembered your words, 'Here lies Paul Newman, who died of his eyes turning brown.'" Hugo went on to say that this time Paul even raised his hands and applauded Hugo, while the other people standing next to him also laughed.

In Paul's career as an actor, whether he plays a ruffian, a robber, or a gang leader, the audience can't help but fall in love with this villain, and every time he turns his face to look directly at the camera, everyone falls into his ocean-blue eyes, and his heart overflows with tender pity.

In fact, this is a kind of shackle for actors, which is also the reason why handsome guys are always unpleasant in the eyes of the Oscars, and the college judges are always very harsh on handsome guys. Of course, the bias in the Best Supporting Actor category will be a little more restrained, but even so, when Hugo won the Best Supporting Actor Golden Man two months ago, it still surprised many people - surprised by the breakthrough of the Academy, not surprised by Hugo's upset.

Therefore, Paul once ridiculed his blue eyes like this, which is a coveted label for others, but for Paul, it is the confinement that has always existed in his career as an actor.

After Paul smiled, he looked at Hugo with a little more affection, "I read the newspaper not long ago that you look like Marlon's successor, and I think this news is very right." ”

Joel Cohen, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately answered, "You're reading the 'New York Times,' right?" Me too. ”

Ethan laughed and continued, "You should probably look at the Los Angeles Times, which says Hugo is your successor." ”

Hugo stood in front of him, didn't say anything, just kept breathing heavily, and wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time, this somewhat childish joke immediately made everyone chuckle again.

Paul understood what Hugo meant, and he patted Hugo on the shoulder with a smile, "The media always like to say this, and they used to say that I was 'Marlon and Brando second'" I think it's very strange. ”

In fact, Paul is also a character actor, but because of his appearance, people always think of him as "Little Red Riding Hood". is also a handsome face and rebellious image, Marlon stands on the screen as soon as Brandy and James stands up on the screen as a perverse image of "empty eyes", but Paul has never received such recognition. Relative to actors, length is a double-edged sword.

For an actor, he should be an independent individual, not "who is second", only when the actor has an independent personality in the true sense, he can be regarded as a real actor. Before that, "whoever is second" will always be just imitation and can never be surpassed.

Paul naturally understands Hugo's feelings, especially when Hugo is called "Paul's Newman successor", but he appears in front of Paul, as if "I" and "II" are facing each other, this feeling is actually a bit embarrassing. But it was still resolved by Hugo's relaxed body language.

Paul is just like his image, always like a spring breeze, a simple sentence resolved Hugo's embarrassment, Hugo also smiled, "I think it's okay, whether it's like you or like Marlon, this is a handsome person for a lifetime, I look forward to the age of forty after I still haven't lost my shape." ”

Hugo didn't mention acting skills or anything, but started from his appearance, a little humor, which suddenly made Paul laugh again, and then turned his head to look at Joel, "Should I be happy?" A young man who can be my grandson compliments me on being a handsome guy. ”

Joel shrugged, and Ethan shook his head next to him, "You shouldn't ask us, we've never been associated with words like 'handsome.'" Anyone...... I mean, if anyone says we're cool, we're going to be happy. Sure enough, it was in the style of the Coen brothers, and one sentence made everyone laugh again.

In the past two years or so, Hugo has seen many big-name actors, especially at the Oscars, and has met many top artists, but until today, only Paul and Catherine Hepburn have left the deepest impression on him. Not because of how brilliant their careers are, but because of their demeanor in the world, this kind of elegance precipitated after the washing of time made Hugo a little envious and even more admired. He also wants to be such an actor. At the age of 70, I still stand on the stage and perform, I can tell jokes humorously, and I can calmly face doubts and criticisms, and I enjoy the performance more than other people's eyes and ideas, but simply, simply, purely, and enjoy the performance.

Whether it's Paul or Newman, Catherine or Hepburn, the reason why they can be called great is that their personality charm is also an indispensable part. It's the gift of time, but it's also the gift of growth.

Although Hugo was only a guest and not a member of the "money empire", he and Paul sat next door and watched the film together.

"Empire of Money" is obviously not the most famous work of the Coen brothers, strictly speaking, the quality of this work is indeed not as good as the other works of the brothers, the script is relatively weak, and this absurdist comedy also has a strong 90s style.

But the Coen brothers excel because of their absurd, exaggerated, humorous and unique style, but also because of their novel ideas and eclectic expressions. Therefore, even if the "Money Empire" is not well-known, it is still above the standard, and the viewing process is very pleasant, and the whole movie always has a magical tone.

After watching the movie, Hugo was even more impressed by Tim Robbins.

Hugo always knew that Tim was an underrated actor, whether it was "The Shawshank Redemption," which was ignored by the Oscars, or "Mystic," which later won him Best Supporting Actor. river)", as well as "The Intersection of Life" and "Players Behind the Scenes", these masterpieces actually underestimate the delicacy and thickness of his performances.

This kind of thought became even stronger after watching "Money Empire". Hugo couldn't help but make this conjecture for the second time: if there was no Tom Hanks, or the time point of Tom's acting explosion was earlier and postponed, would Tim's position in the long history of cinema have changed? However, this is only hypothetical. After watching "The Empire of Money", Hugo had dinner with the Coen brothers and Paul that night, which was unexpected, and the next day, Hugo left Cannes by car after lunch, ending his first trip to the Cannes Film Festival.
