The phone only rang for a while before it was picked up, "Hey, Hugo." Leonardo's brisk voice came through the microphone, which surprised Hugo. Originally, Hugo thought it would be Leonardo's assistant to answer the phone, because Leonardo and Charlize are still working on the "Romeo and Juliet" crew, and his mobile phone is kept with the assistant most of the time. But now it appears that Leonardo should be in the resting stage.

"How do you know it's me?" There is still no caller ID on the mobile phone, so Hugo is confused every time he sees a call.

"You alone are too lazy to recite the phone number, your number is printed in my head." Leonardo said with a smile, "how do you think of calling me today? Are you still hiking now? Are you traveling? Where did you go?"

"The Grand Canyon of Colorado." Hugo replied without hesitation, "You will never believe it. I dived from the cliff last night."

"Wow, you must be joking with me!" Leonardo jumped up and stood there crying and howling, "Hugo, are you kidding, right? You? Hugo? Cliff diving? Wow, **** Christ!" Anyone familiar with Hugo knows that he has never been a personality who likes to challenge the limits of his body. Leonardo tapped his thigh vigorously, using his whole body movements to express his disbelief.

"Yes, you heard that right, I really did a cliff dive last night." After Hugo finished speaking, he felt very happy. In fact, if he is asked to challenge again today, it is estimated that Hugo will tilt his head and feel hesitant, and it is very likely that he will end up giving up. But life is so magical, isn't it? People often do things that they can't predict.

"Hey, Charlize, Charlize, do you believe it? Hugo dived from the cliff last night!" After getting Hugo's definitive answer, Leonardo didn't even continue talking with Hugo, but rushed to the side excitedly , Told his partner.

Charlize was also surprised. The first reaction was "What?" The surprised expression of Charlize instantly entertained Leonardo. He immediately laughed happily, and confirmed the whole thing again, Charlize directly Biao said, "Hugo, you are crazy!" Leonardo and Hugo both laughed at both ends of the phone.

"So, did you find a breakthrough?" Charlize asked the phone without thinking, and Leonardo couldn't help being stunned.

The smile on Hugo's mouth was outlined, and he replied loudly, "Congratulations."

Charlize understood it immediately, and a stormy sea raged deep in his heart, and he couldn't help but yelled, "Damn, you lunatic!" But even though he said that, Charlize's eyes were full of smiles. That kind of joy from the heart made her roar seem powerless.

Leonardo looked at Charlize jokingly, laughed, and then ran away before Charlize became angry, and continued on the phone, "Tell me the details, tell me the details."

Recalling the experience last night, Hugo also seemed excited, and the melody of "Navigation ( reverberated in his mind again, and the blood boiled again. Hugo vividly described everything to Leonardo last night, " Believe me, man, you will definitely want to try it again."

"Damn God, of course I want to try it once. Next time we go on a road trip together, and then you take me there, I will definitely do it again! You try again! Come with me!" Leonardo in the original Skewers and jumped on the ground in exclamation, just can't wait.

"I can be the one who pushed you down." Hugo shrugged and said slyly, making Leonardo speechless for a while. "I called you today because I think there is a role that suits you well, and I want to ask your opinion."

"Did you write the script again?" Although Hugo's topic turned quickly, Leonardo didn't mind, standing still, breathing heavily, and responded directly.

"No, it's not my script." After receiving Hugo's negative response, Leonardo seemed very disappointed. "If you write the script again, I would be very willing to play a role. If it is a male protagonist, it would be even better. ."

Hugo couldn't help but laughed, "You can look forward to it slowly." Re-creating a script? This is a good idea, after all, nearly two years have passed since the creation of the "Before Sunrise" script. "But you also know mine. The script I recommend to you is definitely not too bad."

"Of course, I believe in your vision and believe in it." Leonardo said with a smile, "It's best to come to a'Schindler's List' or'Death Row'." Leonardo joked. The other staff around couldn't help but smile. Although they didn't know the cause and effect, they were also infected by Leonardo's high emotions.

"No, this is not'death row' or'Schindler's list'. To be precise, it should be...er...'Independence Day'." Hugo knows that this description is not accurate, but it is already the most accurate. It's a close reference.

"You mean,'Future Water World'?" Leonardo frowned and retorted unobtrusively, leaving Hugo speechless for a while, "Hugo, what I'm talking about is the fact that'Independence Day' lacks you. In other words, it is the'Future Water World'. I don't think I have the qualifications to create miracles."

In fact, this is also the prevailing view in Hollywood at present. Everyone believes that "Independence Day" is likely to become the second "Future Water World", and it is likely to fail again. The only variable is Hugo, Hugo's undefeated myth. Can continue, this year's summer vacation will soon be fully announced. This is not for Hugo, but for the attitude of big investment and big production. Hollywood as a whole appears to be very cautious.

Leonardo has always been rolling in low-cost independent productions. He unswervingly sharpened his acting skills. When he appeared in "Life and Death Hour", he chose to perform because of Hugo. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Leonardo to support mainstream Hollywood ideas.

"Leo, we have already talked about commercial films, haven't we?" Hugo had anticipated Leonardo's reaction and said patiently that he hadn't heard Leonardo's rebuttal, so he continued. Go on, "I know your attitude towards commercial films, and I also know your attitude towards acting. Do you know why I chose "Death Row" instead of "Away from Casino"?"

"Because the level of performance is richer?" Speaking of performance, Leonardo seemed much more active.

"Yes, because the role of Matthew is more complicated and delicate, I hope to continue to challenge myself through this kind of performance." Hugo's voice made Leonardo laugh again and replied "You succeeded." Hugo shrugged, "I know you are like this, and you want to continue to challenge yourself. This time I recommend this work to you. In fact, for many people, acting does not seem to be difficult, you know, the role of commercial films , How much depth can it have?"

Hugo’s words made Leonardo laugh, seeming to agree with him, "But I think this performance is actually very delicate and worth digging. It’s not that he has a lot of inner drama, but that he The whole personality shaping and image change can be presented through the performance of the actors. We have discussed this before, haven’t we? Regarding the crutches in performance."

Hugo’s words calmed Leonardo, “Give you a cane, you can perform very well, such as the dementia in the "different sky". Of course, many actors have won by playing such a role with a cane. The Oscar statuette, why? Because such a role can be explosive and bright. This is also true of "Schindler's List" and "Death Row". I can find crutches and concentrate all the energy. But if you Charlize’s performance skills are not good enough, even if you give you crutches, your performance is still not up to the requirements. Do you remember "before sunrise"? Charlize and I’s performance in it is actually very difficult, because of the two roles No crutches, that performance experience was very important for both of us."

"So, you mean, I should challenge some characters without crutches?" Leonardo asked rhetorically.

"No, I mean, you should try more roles that bring different challenges." Hugo said. Although "Titanic" did not bring Leonardo nominated for an Oscar actor, Hugo has always believed that this movie also played a role in polishing Leonardo's acting skills, but unfortunately, with The spotlight and noise from the movie made Leonardo confused.

Leonardo fell silent, and after a while, "Hugo, so, you mean, this character is what you want me to do next? ‘Before sunrise’?"

"Yes Hugo answered simply and neatly.

"Then I believe you." Leonardo's answer was simple, but Hugo choked involuntarily.

Hugo remembered Leonardo's situation after the "Titanic", and he was almost at a loss in the vortex of the spotlight. Since then, he has embarked on an irreversible path of development from a beautiful boy to a fat uncle. This made Hugo frowned. "Leo, you know what a commercial movie will bring, cheers, screams, flashlights, and excessive attention, which can even make you lose yourself. You have enough Are you mentally prepared?"

"Of course not." Leonardo's answer made Hugo stunned. "Hugo, do you remember, what you told me, before you personally experienced it, all the imagination in your mind is not necessarily true. Yes. So, I don’t know what that will happen, but I know, you have experienced it, and you will be by my side, right?"

Hugo couldn't help but laughed, nodding his chin slightly, "If you need it, feel free to find me."

"Huh, this is really a relief, so I believe you. Of course, I still have to read the script." Leonardo learned Hugo's tone, and finally added another sentence, making Hugo laugh.
