Chapter 1187: Blonde Boy
After discussing with David, Hugo stood in place and fell into deep thought, he always felt that he had used too much force in this scene just now, the whole love was too hard, the carving was too deliberate, and the effect presented lost the wisdom and calmness of Anonymous, and more importantly, the traces of the performance were too heavy.
This is the first time since "Sleepless in Seattle" that Hugo feels that his performance is too obvious, which is a step backwards. At the same time, it also made Hugo feel the struggle and confusion when trying to make progress in his acting skills again, as if for a moment he didn't know how to act. It's no wonder that people always say that change is scary, and that's true for any form of change.
It should be a wonderful feeling, because Hugo knows what he's doing, he's breaking the pattern of acting that he's used to and has succeeded, he's looking for more breakthroughs; But the whole process is not so rosy, Hugo can feel the confusion in his mind, he needs to find the right balance of the first scene of Anonymous's appearance, so he is always struggling, it feels too chaotic.
"Hugo...... Hugo ......" A voice came out next to him, interrupting Hugo's train of thought, in fact, Hugo needed to interrupt a little, because his brain was filled with countless thoughts, as if it was about to overflow, but Hugo had a hard time maintaining the balance of his mind, he couldn't help frowning, and turned back and said, "I'm thinking!" ”
Hugo's slightly irritable voice is like a green meadow after a rainstorm in midsummer July, a smell mixed with the smell of soil and grass permeates the dry and hot air, but it is not too exciting and too strong, making people feel the heat of midsummer, but a little more refreshing after the rain.
Seeing the visitor, Hugo couldn't help but be a little stunned, then his slightly frowning brows stretched, chuckled and shook his head, and said to the staff who were a little nervous standing aside, "It's okay, I can take over." Then Hugo pursed his lips at the staff and gestured, "I'm sorry just now." Hugo was just immersed in his own thoughts, but the staff obviously didn't mean to interrupt him, so he still expressed his apologies.
The man strode forward and gave Hugo a big hug, "Are you thinking?" About me? ”
A smile bloomed at the corner of Hugo's mouth, "How can I deny it? Hugo patted the person on the back hard, banging, "You quarreled directly with reporters in the media not long ago, presumably your agent is going crazy, this is bad news for your image." ”
Leonardo DiCaprio, who recently had a direct conflict with the media because of his support for Hugo, Leonardo not only spoke foul language in front of the media, but was later revealed to have almost had a physical altercation with reporters after an interview, which was definitely a fatal blow to his image. Although Leonardo has never been a rule-abiding type, most of the films he has taken on are biased; But for Leonardo, who is only 21 years old this year, negative news is definitely not a good thing for his future career.
Leonardo had a big smile on his face and laughed wantonly, "So I fired him, I don't need such an agent, even if the support and trust of my friends are betrayed, he is not worthy of my trust." Leonardo's stretched brows danced lightly like sunlight.
Hugo knew what Leonardo meant, but even so, he said that it was false not to be moved. After experiencing what happened to Uma, and then Joseph was also confused, including the various situations he had experienced in the past two years, this qiē made Hugo hesitate to trust for a while. Because Hugo clearly knows that in the entertainment industry where interests are paramount, whether it is family, love or friendship, will be tested more.
But fortunately, Hugo has Charlize, Joseph, Alex, Carl, Glory to death, and in addition to that, he has Leonardo.
Looking at the wanton and casual Leonardo in front of him, that bright smile comparable to the sun god simply lit up the world. Everyone knows that Leonardo is famous all over the world because of the "Titanic", as a super blonde handsome guy Leonardo captured the hearts of countless girls around the world, and then people learned about his outstanding talent in acting, and began his long road of chasing the little golden man.
But in fact, Leonardo's real peak of life should be the two years of 1994 and 1995, or more accurately, the years before the "Titanic".
After the "Titanic" created incredible heights, the swarming crazy popularity made Leonardo fall into the confusion and chaos of life, and after that, his acting skills also fell into a bottleneck, wonderful, but not brilliant. Most of Leonardo's roles are bitter middle-aged people, and his frowning acting skills have become his representatives, but they often work too hard and lack layers and changes.
But before the "Titanic", Leonardo was a genius full of countless aura, talents and talents, who had to have acting skills, had to have good looks, had talents, charming appearances, and were so amazing that they were suffocating, like a gift from the Creator. Whether it is "A Different Sky", or the "Total Eclipse Love" that Leonardo is currently filming, including the later "Romeo and Giulia (Romeo + Juliet)", people can feel Leonardo's peak, acting skills and appearance are perfectly integrated, especially his uninhibited, casual, crazy, sensitive but fragile qualities, which have remained in the years forever.
Hugo looked at Leonardo in front of him like this, and he suddenly wondered, if Leonardo hadn't taken over the "Titanic", what would history have been? Will Leonardo become a representative of the acting school, or will he disappear after a few years of popularity. But these are the trajectories of history, even Hugo can't give an answer, he is even more curious, what is the understanding of acting skills of this talented Leonardo now?
"You're filming 'Total Eclipse Love' right now, right?" Hugo didn't forget to ask Leonardo why he appeared on the set, and directly asked, "Play the great poet Rimbaud in history?" ”
"Yes." Leonardo could see that familiar look on Hugo's face, focused and serious, and his amber eyes shone with a glint of joy that his soul was cheering, which reminded Leonardo of Rimbaud. "What's wrong?"
"As far as I know, Rimbaud's style is bohemian and rebellious, yet fragile and sensitive." Hugo studied the history of classical literature, but his specialty was fiction rather than poetry, so he was not familiar with Rimbaud, but he was not ignorant, "In a way, you and Rimbaud have a lot of similarities. But the truth is, you and Rimbaud are very different again, you know, he's a poet, a talented poet, but you ......" Hugo said here, shrugging his shoulders, "you definitely don't know more about poetry than a detergent. So how did you figure out the characters during the performance? ”
Hugo's words were very joyful, but Leonardo only chuckled and did not respond, and then explained, because he could feel Hugo's whole body devotion, "You know, people's experiences are different, and people's personalities are also different, but you can find the similarities or completely different parts of you, and then find a point of convergence." ”
Objectively speaking, Leonardo's current acting skills are still in the stage of relying on his own talent to shine, and there are not many ways to speak of, even if he is compared with Brad, he will not be too far ahead. But Hugo still listened carefully to Leonardo's words, because Hugo knew that in fact, everyone's understanding of acting skills is different, and there is no way to apply other people's acting methods to themselves, but different acting methods and acting understandings can stimulate their own inspiration. From Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, to Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron, Morgan Freeman, and Leonardo in front of him, Hugo was keen to talk to them about ideas.
This is actually one of the most important differences between Hugo and Brad.
"I've carefully studied Rimbaud's life, you know, influenced by you." Leonardo also learned a lot about acting from Hugo, "I found that in fact, the most glorious years of Rimbaud's life were between the ages of sixteen and nineteen, he was a very talented poet, he was uninhibited, he was rebellious, he was flamboyant, although he was talented, but in fact he felt that poetry was useless at all, without any value, so he habitually despised other poets and ridiculed other poets." Not only because of his arrogance, he firmly believes that his talent is superior to others, but also because of his rebellion, which proves his sense of existence by ridiculing others. What does this mean? ”
After Leonardo finished speaking, he didn't wait for Hugo to answer, and answered himself, "It shows that Rimbaud is still a child at heart, he longs for the recognition of others, he is showing off his talent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is childishly seeking pride and self-confidence through others." He had no idea what poetry meant to him, it was just one of the means by which he became famous. However, by the time he realized the greatness and splendor of poetry, his talent had already been squandered. ”
"So, you see, that's the fun part, I can understand Rimbaud's mentality, it reminds me of when I relied on 'growing pains' to get attention, I was proud, I was happy, I was proud, I was proud, but I didn't really have a clear idea of what acting was like for the entertainment industry, and I wanted to enjoy seeing other media outlets chasing me all the time, seeing other people cheering and screaming for me." Leonardo was also outspoken about his shortcomings, "However, 'boy's life' made me feel the power of acting for the first time, and at that time I knew you, I felt the charm of acting in you, and then there was 'a different sky'." ”
"But that's not the point, I mean, I'm not a poet, but I'm an actor, and the commonalities between me and Rimbaud are obvious." Leonardo spoke out his thoughts and experiences, which made Hugo sensitively capture something, but it seemed to be missing a layer of window paper, which silenced Hugo.
