Steven and Spielberg took a long sip of beer from his beer glass - Green had just brought two more beers, then left the space for two people, and turned away, "Sure enough, it's beer to quench your thirst." ”

Hugo put his hands on the beer coaster and turned slightly, "My bladder is being tested at this time, so I'd better bear with it." Hugo's words with a little humor made a smile appear on the corner of Steven's mouth.

"Green and I mentioned you, and he thought you were a very good actor, and he felt that you were capable enough to play any role." Steven placed the beer glass in his palm and turned it slowly, as if observing the swirl of beer from spinning, then he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young man in front of him, "He insisted that I should meet you, and in fact...... I really need an actor who is 'good', very good and good, and that's why I'm here. ”

In the face of Steven's such a straightforward statement, Hugo immediately understood the ins and outs, but now he is not so nervous, anyway, they are all auditions, there is no difference, he has seen the picky Nora and Ephron, and he has also seen the super-famous Sidney a 'Bo' Lack, so it is good to have a normal mentality.

"Hehe, I guess, this can only say one thing." Hugo chuckled and raised his eyes to look at Steven honestly, a statement that intrigued Steven, who cast a curious look. Hugo didn't pause for long, and then said, "It shows that Green is really my good friend." ”

"Huh." Steven laughed straight away.

Hugo raised an eyebrow, "I don't think anyone will believe what he says except for good friends, not to mention, he really doesn't know much about the film industry." "Hugo is telling the truth, although he doesn't know what the relationship between Green and Steven is, but this is the truth, there is no need to hide it. Green's compliments, such as "being competent enough to play any of the ...... roles," sound like bragging.

Steven gradually restrained his smile, nodded slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him seriously. In fact, Hugo's current state is not 'colorful', he took off his 'base' cap when he greeted him just now, and his messy hair looked more like a bird's nest at this time because of the squeeze of the hat, without cleaning up the stubble and casual clothes, it looked like an ordinary young man who came out to meet his friends, and he did not participate in the formal and grand audition at all.

However, Steven could read the prudence and seriousness he expected in Hugo's eyes, and this kind of sparkle from the amber 'colored' eyes almost made Steven ignore the other qiē, even Hugo's handsome appearance, as if all the charm of the qi ē was epitomized in those eyes.

"I've seen your work." Steven began, apparently going straight to the audition, "But I'm worried that you don't seem to fit the 'color' I planned." You have a sunny temperament on you, and the horn 'color' you play seems to be the same, but the horn 'color' I want is not the same. You don't have the evil temperament I expected in you!"

Since Steven didn't mention the name of the work, Hugo didn't want to make a prejudgment in advance, so he didn't carefully figure out which role Steven was talking about, but "revealed" a smile and said calmly, "Challenging yourself is one of the jobs of an actor, isn't it?" I don't know if I'll be able to play all the roles, but giving up before trying is not the attitude that a good actor should have. ”

Hugo teased himself with what Green said, which made the corners of Steven's mouth pull up slightly, "Most of the roles you currently play are positive images, are you willing to challenge some villains, or even evil characters?"

Hugo guessed that Steven should be referring to the three most well-known works of Hugo, such as "Death Poets Society", "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'", and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", in which Hugo plays the role of "color" have many similarities, integrity, youth, justice, and sunshine. In fact, most of the roles played by Hugo so far are also positive, which can be regarded as a definition of Hollywood.

Take Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks as an example, what they represent is the embodiment of Hollywood's image of justice and the epitome of American heroism, so even if they are not heroes, they will be the key figures to turn the tide, or they are representatives of the defeat of evil forces, in short, "heroes"

This is also a kind of actor image packaging, some actors have been playing villains all their lives, for example, Jack Nicholson's villain character 'color' is often able to be brilliant and abnormal; Day-Lewis) is one such actor; There are also actors who are representatives of positive images all their lives, and Tom Hanks is one of them.

Most actors are the third type, or hope to be able to follow the third type, eager to break a path in Hollywood with Haoran righteousness, after all, everyone hopes that they are righteous and good people deep down, especially in a country like the United States, where heroism is particularly carried forward, the foreshadowing of a positive image can often allow actors to obtain unexpected benefits.

Prior to this, Lang's career as an actor for Hugo was like this, mainly because Hugo's appearance advantage allowed him to obtain an innate 'sexual' advantage in the position of a messenger of justice. So it's no surprise that Steven would have this question.

"I don't know what your definition of evil character is, but I can say with certainty that I'm willing to try something new, and if I only go through a few positive roles, I think my path as an actor may get narrower and narrower." Hugo also pointed to his face self-deprecatingly, Cheng Dù, who is tied up in Hollywood, will always have zài.

Steven nodded his chin slightly, "And what is your definition of evil horn 'color'?"

"I think there should be three, in dialectical terms, one is that good people are forced to become bad people, maybe for livelihood or for family, in short, there is a compelling reason, but they still become evil." Hugo simply stated his opinion, "One is a downright bad person, who may not have any purpose in hurting others, just to see others suffer." This evil is chilling. ”

Speaking of this, Hugo paused, "There is also the one who is in the middle, maybe he is a good man, but occasionally he commits something wrong in some way; Or maybe he's a bad guy, but sometimes he has a warm side in his heart. This kind of angular 'color' should be the most complex and the most common. ”

"To put it simply, it is." Steven groaned for a moment, as if thinking about Hugo's words, and seemed to be thinking about what should happen next, and then he said, "I originally wanted to see your performance first, but after listening to your words, I must say hello to you first, first of all, the role I need at the moment is not the leading actor, but the supporting actor, are you willing to play?"

"Why not? If it's a good script, or a good character, I have no reason to refuse, do I? It's as if I don't worry about affecting my image because it's an evil horn, that's a truth. Hugo didn't think about it, and just spoke.

If it was said that before the Golden Globe incident, maybe Hugo's self-confidence would be a little repulsive to this, but after precipitation, Hugo knew that he was still a long way from a truly excellent actor, and he needed to continue to polish himself in different roles. In fact, in many cases, the supporting roles are not inferior to the protagonist', and even cover up the protagonist's demeanor, such as 2008's "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight (the. dark。 k)" is the classic clown.

Take 10,000 steps back, without the foil of the supporting role, how can the protagonist be dazzling? Therefore, never discriminate against supporting roles, and even do not ignore the role of small supporting roles and dragon sets, Hugo has a deep understanding of this.

Steven didn't say anything, but continued, "Secondly, because the budget is very tight this time, it can be very tight in terms of salary. ”

Hugo also nodded in approval for the first time, "Salary has never been a problem. Although Steven still hasn't revealed any information about the work, it would not be surprising if it was really "Schindler's List", because Steven didn't take a penny when he shot the work, because he thought that if he accepted it, it would be "blood money". So, he refused all the remuneration of "Schindler's List".

"The last point is that if you have a good body like you, you need to 'fatten' for the movie, you know, a good figure like you is not a requirement in the movie." This time, however, Steven did not wait for Hugo's answer, and continued, "But it's too early to say this, and maybe we won't get that far." Steven ruthlessly and directly hit Hugo's self-confidence, but he didn't care at all and chuckled at Hugo twice.

"To be honest, I think it's a movie that's going to fail, but I'm still willing to put all my 'fine' effort into it. If you're still willing to join the film, I think we can start the next step. Steven's blunt words made Hugo laugh dumbly.

A director who predicted that his work would fail, which was so unusual, Hugo chuckled, "As you just said, I was able to be a part of this film, and I didn't know yet, so I think we will have a chance to discuss it." If you think I'm a good fit, we can talk about it again. ”

Hugo didn't go into a big bag and said, "No problem," which made Steven pause, then nodded vigorously, "You're to the point." Well, well, I need you to give me a show now, this character is a terrible devil, but he is not necessarily completely dark inside. ”

Hugo was still looking forward to Steven's next words, but Steven raised his eyebrows like this, indicating that this was all there was to it, and Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, "So, that's all?"

"Yes, you can get started."

Belch...... Where do you start?
