183 Self-denial

Hugo began to recall the image of the male protagonist in "Sleepless in Seattle", and Tom Hanks gave this image many qualities, such as stability, such as stability. But what is the character of the male protagonist Sam in the story?

After Sam and his wife got married, he devoted himself to his wife and took care of the family, and after having a son, he was a kind father and considerate husband, and he was actually a typical American ideal parental image. And after the death of his wife, Sam still misses his wife, sad but strong, lonely but independent, and takes care of his son carefully, but thinks that he will never find someone like his wife again in his life, affectionate, considerate, and funny, such an image is established at once.

So, what is the compatibility and contradiction of the role of Hugo and Sam? The affectionate image of a good man and a good husband, Hugo has no problem; But the part of a kind father is a chasm for Hugo, which is also the weakest link between Hugo and Tom Hanks.

However, at this time, Hugo's train of thought had already unfolded, and he couldn't help but think that not all fathers would be like Tom Hanks's Sam, kind, steady, and warm. There are countless types of father figures in the world, Tom Hanks is one type, and there are other types, so if he becomes a father, what will it be?

Hugo's impression of the father image is relatively wooden and strict, not good at expressing the true feelings of the heart, shouldering the whole 'strong' parents, which also makes the communication between the father and the child more difficult. If it were Hugo, he didn't want to be such a father, he would 'socialize' with his children, even if it didn't go well, he would try, even if he couldn't be friends with his children, he would try.

So what will Hugo's Sam be like? Having an eight-year-old child at the age of twenty-five certainly doesn't fit the setting of the movie, so thirty years old? It is true that relying on makeup can achieve the effect of a thirty-year-old, and Hugo has been through so many ups and downs, although he plays a thirty-year-old man, although it is challenging, it is not a big problem.

Then, Sam should have met his wife in high school, and the two of them chose to graduate from college after many years of 'friendship', and had a child Jonah in the first year of marriage, and the two husbands and wives supported each other to live a plain but happy life, although there were quarrels and disagreements in the life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, but the two of them still persevered, but unfortunately, the death of his wife made Sam not able to hold her hand to the end.

The nostalgia for his wife makes Sam pin his emotions on his children, and he puts the focus of his life on them, but he has no way to hide the loss and loneliness in his heart. In front of Jonah, Sam tried his best to be normal, taking over both the roles of his father and mother, but he still couldn't make up for his wife's vacancy. Maybe Sam may try to start a new relationship, but he can't find a perfect match, for Sam, "no one can be as perfect as his wife", which makes Sam miss his wife more and more.

Such a role 'color', Hugo can be played, why not? Although Hugo did not raise children and did not become a father, the most important thing as a father is a sense of responsibility, family concept is maturity and reason, which Hugo does not lack. And Hugo's understanding of the relationship between father and son also has a different understanding, especially when he had a quarrel with his father Adam this Christmas, Hugo really felt a lot.

If Hugo can star in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", then where should he compare with Tom Hanks' Sam? Tom's maturity and stability can be reflected in his appearance and temperament, while Hugo, due to his "disadvantage" in appearance, is more like a young father, and his image of being young will be more prominent, and his style of acting will be more energetic.

Thinking of this, Hugo understands why Rob thinks he is suitable for the role of widower in "Sleepless in Seattle". Hugo's steadiness and delicacy in "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" have a sense of trust that does not match his appearance, and Hugo's own efforts, comprehension of diagonal 'color', and concentration in the work process are even more convincing. Therefore, Rob believes that Hugo will give Sam more charm as a widower, and it will be more convincing in the story of "Sleepless in Seattle", which has a strong fairy tale 'color'.

After sorting out his thoughts, Hugo couldn't help laughing, if both Rob and Joseph had faith in him, then what reason did he have not to believe in himself? Of course not.

Giving up before trying, self-denial before trying, this is not Hugo's style. It is true that the role of Sam in "Sleepless in Seattle" is difficult, challenging and different, but Hugo is not incompetent, he can completely integrate his interpretation of Sam into the role of "color", create a different Sam, and tell a slightly different "Sleepless in Seattle".

So, Hugo decided to give it a try! If, after working hard, Nora still thinks that he is not suitable for this role, then Hugo will accept this result, because it shows that he is not ready for further development now, and then he will continue to fight tirelessly in order to become a more "colorful" actor.

Perhaps, "Sleepless in Seattle" is an opportunity and a challenge, different from the challenge of "Sugar-Coated Trap", continuing to play the role of a lawyer in "Sugar-Coated Trap", maybe Hugo will be more sure, but there is no breakthrough, but "Sleepless in Seattle" has proposed more possibilities for Hugo's actor path.

Of course, Hugo has not yet auditioned for both films, and it is not yet known what the outcome will be, but Hugo has already made a decision, and he will do his best to fight for it, even if it is an incredibly difficult challenge to play a widower at such a young and vigorous age as twenty-five, Hugo will not give up lightly.

From the initial rejection of the proposal as a matter of course, to the current change of mind and decision to meet the challenge, Hugo's thinking has gone through a magnificent journey. For the first time in his history, Hugo asked himself a serious question: What kind of actor do I want to be?

"Joseph, I decided to give it a try." Hugo opened his mouth and said, "Not only because this is an opportunity introduced by Rob, but also because I want to challenge myself." ”

"But, is this role really suitable for you?" Now the uncertain one has become Joseph, who is worried not only about this, but also about the script, "Is this story really for you?" Will it hinder your path as an actor, you know, you've never starred in a romance movie before...... Maybe after you appear once, you'll become a 'flower' vase actor in the future, God! ”

Chick movies are a very special type of films, in the long history of Hollywood, because of the chick movies to win the recognition of the "female" actors, but there are only a handful of male actors, one is because the male actors in the chick movie "color" is not enough, the other is because the male actor is reduced to a "flower" vase It is difficult to turn over, the "female" and "flower" vase still have a large number of male audiences, but the audience of the male "flower" vase has to wait until the second decade of the 21st century to be developed, "female" Sex' audience is only taken seriously.

Therefore, Joseph's worries are not empty, Hugo originally had a good skin, and it was easy for people to position him as a 'flower' vase, and finally Hugo relied on "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Smell the fragrance and know the 'woman' to make a world", what if all the efforts were ruined because of a chick movie?

Joseph was worried, genuinely worried.

Hugo was also a little hesitant when Joseph said it, because he didn't know what kind of actor he would become in the future, which was too far away, but then thinking about it, Hugo firmly believed again, "Joseph, I don't know what kind of actor I want to be now, and I don't know what kind of actor I can become in the future, because this is too big a proposition, and no one can see the future." "Even people who have crossed over and can't see their future.

"But now, I want to be an actor who dares to challenge myself, so I want to give it a try, and even if Nora doesn't think well of me, I want to try to see it. Perhaps, in the process of trying and failing, we will find a direction for the future. Hugo said firmly, which made Joseph settle down, but he still looked at Hugo uncertainly.

Hugo went on to say, "The script of 'Sleepless in Seattle' is not a simple romance movie, and the male 'sexual' and 'sexual' characters also occupy an important and dominant role in it. What's more, the male protagonist is not a 'flower' vase, he is a widower, a man with a family, children, connotation and past, this role is not simple, on the contrary, it is also very challenging 'sex'. ”

Speaking of this, Hugo paused, and Joseph finally came out of the gloom of pessimism, his eyes gradually clear, "Nora didn't think I was suitable, in fact, I didn't think I could do it at first. But how can we jump to conclusions without giving it a try? As you just said, maybe this is an opportunity, an opportunity to break through yourself. I will continue to play the role of a lawyer, it will not be difficult; But my leap from student to lawyer to widower is huge, and if I can make it, it's a great opportunity......"

"But what if you fail?" Joseph still has a faint worry between his eyebrows, in fact, the main thing is that his own understanding of the position of the agent is not deep enough, so he can only 'feel' the stones to cross the river, Hugo finally has a 'fine' color in 1992, Joseph does not want to ruin this qiē.

When Hugo heard this, he laughed, "So what, it's a big deal to win the Golden Raspberry Award again, and then, we will try again." ”

Joseph was also amused by Hugo's cheerfulness. In fact, Joseph knew that if Hugo won the Golden Raspberry Award again, he would not necessarily have the luck to get up again, but at this time, Joseph did not express this worry, because he knew that, as Hugo said, Hugo's career as an actor is just the beginning, if he is afraid and worried, then maybe Hugo will be at such a height for the rest of his life.

Although Hugo didn't know what kind of actor he wanted to be or what kind of actor he could become, Joseph was sure that it definitely didn't stop there.

"Okay, then we'll try again!" Inexplicably, Joseph developed unprecedented confidence in Hugo.
