Comeback 395 performance intentions.

Hugo's first reaction when he saw the script of "The Shawshank Redemption" was: 1994 is coming, and the second reaction immediately after the blood boils is: Why does this script find itself?

There are two main characters in the story "The Shawshank Redemption", one black and one white, and the male protagonist Andy is played by Tim Robbins (Timothv). Robbhns), and the supporting actor Rhett is played by veteran actor Morgan Freeman (Maan), but because of the importance of Rhett's "sex" to the story, many people call it a two-role movie.

Tim can actually be regarded as a Tom Hanks-type actor, loyal and sincere, diligent and solid in acting, without any scandals and negative news in his 'private' life, and his sibling love with Susan Sarandon (Susmn) is a legendary Hollywood story. This type of actor is like Superman to the United States, Americans need such a righteous and upright actor to provoke the beam, but unfortunately, Tim met Tom Hanks, Hanks became the most famous hero in the United States "Tom", and became the spokesperson of Hollywood for 20 years, and Tim's career as an actor has been a little worse.

The character of Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption" is also very consistent with Tim's image, integrity, gentleness, forbearance, elegance, and restraint, so Tim is indeed very suitable from the image. And recall Hugo himself, because "Schindler's List" is still in the post-production zuò and has not been seen by the public, Hugo's current screen image is actually the same, which has a natural fit with Andy.

Hugo's temperament is sunny and handsome, and it is no wonder that Frank de la Bont took the initiative to appoint Hugo, hoping that he would play the role.

In fact, in the preparation process of "The Shawshank Redemption", although this program was cared for, but not too much attention was paid to it, although the adaptation rate of Stephen King's works was very high, but except for "The Shining", none of them achieved great success, and the success of "The Shining" was due to the great Stanley Kubrick, obviously, Frank Derabont was not Stanley.

Therefore, Columbia Pictures only gave a budget of 25 million US dollars, and the premise was that the role of Red preferred Morgan Freeman, and a large part of the budget was for Morgan's salary. Then, Frank is stretched thin in the choice of leading actor, which is the fundamental reason why Tim can stand out in the end, at present, Tim can only be regarded as an actor in the transition from the second line to the first line in Hollywood, and the "super big player" he starred in last year won him a series of nominations for the best actor, proving his strength.

However, compared with Tim, Hugo's advantage is that he is younger and has the same 'brilliant' acting skills, but the box office is more appealing, but the salary has only just risen, and it is not too high, within the budget control. It makes sense that Frank took a fancy to Hugo first.

The thoughts in his mind immediately reacted, and Hugo then began to think: Do you want to star in this script?

The best work in film history, of course, to star in this is Hugo's first thought, just like the idea that instantly popped into his mind when he first heard "Schindler's List", this is a kind of film 'fan' psychology, let yourself be a part of these classic masterpieces, that is a surging love, many industry practitioners are because of this kind of love xù into the movie, and later the famous ghost director Quentin Tarantino (quemththn0) is like this, Relying on his crazy love of movies, he has grown from a video rental shop clerk to a world-famous top director, relying on this fanaticism for the classics.

But soon, Hugo calmed down, after experiencing "Schindler's List", after experiencing the "Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Outlaw" twists and turns, Hugo knew very well that in the long history of film, there are countless excellent works, and he cannot appear in every classic masterpiece, in Hollywood, actors starring in works still depend on fate, you can't lose your sense of proportion just because "The Shawshank Redemption" is an excellent work, or it should be measured from an objective point of view, otherwise, He will never be able to mature in this position as an actor.

First of all, Hugo knew that he was still not ready to appear in the work again, the fatigue after "Schindler's List" was still not alleviated, and his whole mind was still immersed in the role of "Mon" and Goss, otherwise he would not have received the script and opened it after so long, because deep down in his heart he was still not ready to appear in a new work, if he reluctantly starred in "The Shawshank Redemption", maybe he would not only not be able to perform this role' color', but it will ruin this classic masterpiece.

In addition, the actor's choice of works should not only focus on the script itself and the work itself, but also focus on the character 'color', whether he can do the role, whether the role can bring new challenges, and how much resonance between himself and the character is the core factor for the actor to choose the script.

So, what about Andy's character?

In fact, in the story of "The Shawshank Redemption", what really makes the classic is Andy's desire for freedom and indelible hope, but in Andy's corner of the color itself, whether it is the depth of the corner or the space left by the director to play the horn, it is very limited. Of course, it's not that Andy's role doesn't test his acting skills, in fact, this role 'color' is very difficult to test his acting skills.

Andy's restraint, elegance, and integrity are out of place in the whole prison, and his psychological changes are very subtle from the moment he enters the prison, from a banker to a murderer, from heaven to hell, the whole prison welcomes him with a dark hell, in this process, Andy's heart has been tormented; Then, Andy sought an opportunity and began to gradually realize his self-worth in prison, giving full play to the last bit of light in his dark life; But when Andy learns that the person who killed his wife and her lover is not himself, but someone else, Andy's inner struggle and pain are the greatest torment.

Andy's psychological changes are very delicate, he does not perform them publicly, many times it is just a subtle change in the eyes, the corners of the mouth, hand movements, and walking posture, this kind of entanglement and contradiction buried deep in the heart, so that the actor is full of countless difficulties and challenges when trying to make Andy's role 'color' three-dimensional, and the director Frank leaves the actor with very limited performance space, which increases the difficulty several times.

Relatively speaking, the role of Rhett is also as delicate, but the changes in the heart of the horn are relatively less complicated, and Frank leaves more room for the actor to perform, so behind the control of rising and falling, it also makes it easier to see the actor's acting skills.

Historically, Morgan starred in Rhett and won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, all of which were Best Actor rather than Best Supporting Actor, which can be described as the pinnacle of stealing the show; And Tim played Andy, but was not able to get an Oscar nomination.

In fact, Tim's performance is very 'outstanding', his grasp of the changes in Andy's heart is very accurate and in place, and it also shows his delicate and restrained acting skills, which is the finishing touch for the movie, and more importantly, in the rivalry with Morgan, Tim is not left behind, which makes "The Shawshank Redemption"

Therefore, Tim did not win the Oscar nomination, which is also known as a big Oscar unsolved case, which was not solved until ten years later, in 2004, when Tim won the "Mystic" (mystic. river)" The film was compensated and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in one go.

For Hugo, Andy's role is still a challenge, he is somewhat similar to the role of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", but the inner changes are more 'intense' and complex, and the gap is more distinct, and Andy is the male protagonist in the movie, and the space is naturally broader. But compared with "Yihai Xiongfeng" or "Schindler's List", Andy's role is still lacking in explosiveness, and not long ago Hugo starred in "Seattle Sleepless Night" such a warm and "jade" character "color", although Andy is darker and more complicated, but the strength is still lacking.

However, Hugo believes that in fact, if you give Andy's character more space, it may not be too much length, maybe just a few shots of the details of the table, but a matter of a minute or two, but it can outline Andy's character more vividly and concretely, leaving more space for the actor's performance, and at the same time making Andy more three-dimensional, and most importantly, making the whole story smoother.

Therefore, Hugo was a little moved by Andy's role, but he was not too positive. Hugo felt that he should sit down with director Frank and have a face-to-face 'exchange' of opinions before making a decision.

After thinking about it, Hugo also made a decision, which also made Hugo breathe a sigh of relief, he has indeed grown a lot in a year, if it was half a year ago, that is, before the Golden Globe Awards, Hugo would definitely be eager to take over the script, after all, this is Frank's initiative to send an invitation to Hugo, "The Shawshank Redemption" Such a classic work is naturally not to be missed; But now, he is able to look at these opportunities more maturely and calmly, which also marks that he is making continuous progress on the road to becoming a professional actor.

Of course, if he can appear in the position of the actor in "The Shawshank Redemption", this is bound to be another huge progress for Hugo, and Hugo also has faint expectations for this.

Therefore, Hugo immediately called Joseph and expressed his wishes.

"You're saying you want to meet with Frank." Joseph confirmed again.

"Yes, I think it's better to have a face-to-face 'exchange'." "I'm going to go to the East Coast, and there's no problem with the big cities along the way, so you can check with him, look at Chicago or New York, or whatever, and we'll just meet and talk about it." ”

"Okay, I'll confirm the time and place with them, wait for my news." Joseph didn't say anything more, and simply agreed.
