Dongshan wants to sleep 436 temporary thoughts "It's not easy to find people who like this kind of pure gangster movie now." Quentin looked at the smile on Hugo's face, couldn't help but sigh, and leaned back on the back of the booth with a lonely expression. Hugo laughed, "Maybe genre films will have ups and downs of 'tide', but there will never be a shortage of audiences for works that are really 'colorful'." "In Hollywood, genre films will have a golden age, for example, the action movies that swept the world in the 80s, which became popular with a group of superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, but after entering the 90s, although there is still a market for action movies, they are gradually shrinking, and after entering the 21st century, they are almost submerged in visual effects commercial blockbusters. The power of human beings is hardly comparable to the effects of computer technology. The same is true for gangster movies, in fact, movies that mix violence, gore, killing and other gangster elements have always existed, but they are pure gangster movies, but they have passed their golden age. Beginning in the 70s, the "Godfather" series, "Goodfellas", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Scarface", "Miller's. crossing)", "The Modern Godfather (Prizzi's. hoouchables)" created the peak of pure gangster films, but after entering the nineties, this kind of film focusing on underworld life gradually lost its market and gradually declined. In the 21st century, it has almost disappeared from people's sight, even Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York." of。 new。 York)", by Ridley. Scott's "Americaer" has also failed to recreate the glory of gangster films. Pure gangster movies are gradually declining, replaced by police movies with a wider audience and material coverage, and the film elements are also more abundant, perhaps there are still many movies around gangsters, but they are no longer pure, and it is difficult to reproduce film history classics such as "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", and "Goodfellas". As a big fan of gangster movies and western movies, Quentin can be said to have witnessed the decline of this genre of films, and his works such as "Kill Bill" and "Shameless 'Bastards'" created after the 21st century have gradually broken away from the category of gangster movies, integrating elements such as violence and gore into a wider territory, so as to develop his own style.

However, in Quentin's directorial career, "vulgar" can be defined as a gangster film, although it is not pure, but it is a tribute to gangster films, and it also creates a pinnacle in his directing work, which is still difficult to surpass even after twenty years, even with such "killing" works as "Kill Bill", "Shameless 'Bastard'", and "Django Solved". "As a movie fan, don't you want to appear in a 'fine' gangster movie?" Quentin looked up and looked at Hugo curiously, "I mean, playing a 'fine' character like Robert De Niro, and using his ability to leave a magnificent mark in the history of cinema." "And then they were fixed in the circle of gangsters, and they could never break free?" Hugo's words stunned Quentin, and then both of them couldn't help laughing. Robert De Niro is a great actor in the history of film, there is no doubt about it, but he has starred in too many gangster movies, and most of the classic roles are fixed in this range, which can be said to be a huge pity, after 2010, he still played a number of gangster boss roles, which made the film critics very regretful, thinking that Robert was self-imprisoned when his career as an actor entered the later stage, and he was never able to make a breakthrough. At this point, Jack Nicholson is clearly going to be much better. After the ridicule, Hugo then returned to Quentin's topic just now, "As an actor, of course I hope to make breakthroughs, such as Brando's majestic 'color' in 'The Godfather', or De Niro's little minion in 'Once Upon a Time in America', or Lyotard's ups and downs in 'Goodfellas'." Whether it is an actor or a movie fan's point of view, this is very rare. Quentin also nodded his head in agreement with Hugo's words, and the smile on his face and the vigorous movement were very threatening to break his neck, "But your appearance is very limited, I guess you are still more suitable for the role of 'Godfather' Ripacino or Kaesel." ”

Hugo smiled, "Not everyone can be Kesel. John Keisel (John) Cazale) plays the role of the second son Fredo in "The Godfather", the cowardly and incompetent character "Se". During John's career as an actor, he played only five roles, but all of them are considered classics, and in addition to the "Godfather" series, his works include "The Dialogue". Co' female 'ersatioerhe. deer。 Huer)" three Oscar-level productions. It's a pity that this acting genius died of bone cancer in 1978 and was not able to continue his brilliant career as an actor. "The restrictions of appearance are actually excuses, and a really good actor will never be bound by his appearance. Even if it is true that there is a huge obstacle due to physical appearance, with the help of makeup, the actor can present enough performances to achieve the director's goal and convince the audience. Otherwise, wouldn't the actor's 'acting' be meaningless? After experiencing "Schindler's List", Hugo's feelings are even more profound, simply put, people cannot be disguised, and the appearance is only a first impression, but it cannot represent the true personality of the heart. In the past, Hugo still felt that many horns needed to be carefully selected, and he was not suitable for all horns, but now it seems that unless there is no room for horns and colors - for example, if it is an action movie, it needs to fight constantly, and there is no inner delicate performance space, otherwise, any actor can find a foothold and then complete his own performance. For example, let Hugo play the role of Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man", maybe the sunny and handsome appearance cannot be contrasted with the role of Tom Cruise, and cannot achieve the effect that the director wants to present, but it does not mean that Hugo has no way to play the effect of autism; for example, let Hugo play the role of Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Asylum", although Hugo does not look like a model who is rebellious and dares to challenge authority

, but it doesn't mean that Hugo can't use acting skills to achieve such an effect. It is one thing for the director and producer to present the effect they want, and it is another thing for the actor to bring about the advantages brought by the actor's appearance, and it is another thing for the actor's own acting skills to show the thickness and authenticity of the actor's own acting skills. Therefore, what actors need to consider is not whether they are suitable, but whether they are competent. With Hugo's current level, it is naturally not enough to star in works such as "Rain Man" and "Flying Over the Asylum", he will definitely not be able to surpass the profound skills of the original role "color", Hugo still needs to continue to work hard and continue to hone and accumulate constantly, but at least Hugo has now opened this big "door", "Schindler's list" Ria' "Mon" - Goss This role "color" has successfully let Hugo get a glimpse of the magical world of acting. Quentin is not an actor, but as a director, he naturally knows the importance of acting, and he couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Hugo, who inadvertently 'revealed' his confidence, "You are right." If you were asked to play a minion of the underworld, what would you think? "At least you should give me a script, there are also strict minions, funny, and followers, this category is too big." Hugo said with a smile, "But I think that creating a strict little minion always makes accidents and mistakes in the process of action, but he doesn't realize that he still completes his task seriously, and the black 'color' humor created by this contrast should be very interesting." Quentin listened to Hugo's casual teasing, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, "Hey, Hugo, I have a script in my hand now, and there is a gangster in it, how about it, are you interested in starring?" "Quentin has a script in his hand now? The first thing that came to Hugo's mind was naturally "vulgar", and this movie was released in 1994, and the timing was very appropriate. But Hugo didn't have time to think too deeply, and he quickly replied, "Our band just signed and is going to record an album next, and I don't think I have the time." ”

After experiencing the baptism of classics such as "Schindler's List" and "The Shawshank Redemption", although Hugo knew that "vulgarity" is also an important classic that cannot be missed in film history, and it has an indelible impact on the development of film styles in the future, and Hugo personally likes this movie very much, but he still didn't worry too much, and immediately thought of the current state of the band, so he directly expressed his opinion. Quentin 'revealed' a regretful expression, "I just thought that if you played the role of 'color' in it, it seems that the contrast effect also sounds good." However, I don't know, I originally wanted an actor with a more 'sexual' appearance and not as handsome as you to play, but now you seem to be very suitable for the role. "Collaboration always takes timing, doesn't it? The issue of schedule has always been a difficult problem to solve. Hugo laughed and said, "But I still think I'm honored to be able to change your mind, and many times, the fixed thinking of appearance is a disadvantage of casting." The reversal effect created by Kevin Spacey in films such as "The Extraordinary Suspects" and "The Seven Deadly Sins (SE7en)" is a subversion of the stereotype of appearance made by the casting process.
