"Oh, Hugo, you really let me down." Leonardo gave Hugo a elbow. Hearing Hugo's choice, Leonardo clearly wrote regret on his face, "In fact, it was still There is another character. After Jack and Ruth finished their lunch banquet, they went to the third-class cabin to participate in the real party. There was a man who had a conversation with Ruth, and then provoked Ruth’s interest. Then she told everyone Demonstrating her ballet skills."

Hugo suddenly realized that this is also a very interesting character. It can be seen that although James is not pleasing to his eyes in every way, but when choosing a guest role, James is still quite attentive. But this is not surprising. Although James is always a thorny head, he always knows clearly: when to stick to his own opinions and when to be arrogant. This is also an important reason why James can stand at the pinnacle of Hollywood.

"But because this character needs to smoke, you know, third-class, so I finally denied this character." Leonardo said rather grimly, "I originally hoped to be able to play against you, but in the end you I chose the violinist."

Hugo chuckled lightly, "If you really want to play a rivalry with me, next time we can cooperate seriously on a work, this is just a cameo, there is no need to be so serious."

Although Leonardo regrets, but also knows that Hugo is telling the truth, he nodded dejectedly, "I just saw you and Brad Pitt's opponent performance in the'Seven Deadly Sins', I have been thinking, if There is a chance to play with you on the same stage-not the kind of "speed of life", then it should be a rare opportunity for me. Of course, I will never be so bad for Brad."

As one of the most powerful actors in the United States today, Hugo can be said to be in full swing. He has successively won two Oscar statuettes for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor, and he has also won two movie stars in Cannes and Berlin. For the trophy, many people think that Hugo has taken over the old drama class of Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino, and has become the leader of the baby boom generation.

Hugo has already collaborated with Robin Williams, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon, Morgan Freeman and other old actors and actresses. His strong strength has received unanimous praise, especially the two recent works, "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row", are even more impressive.

Therefore, Leonardo wants to star in a rivalry with Hugo, and that eager desire also reflects his desire for acting skills.

Hugo also felt the dullness in Leonardo’s words. He couldn’t help but look at it. He looked a little depressed when he watched Leonardo. This reminded Hugo of Leonardo’s post-Titanic Encounter, now Hugo has personally experienced the taste of the burning sky, and feels even more mixed, "What's wrong? The shooting process of'Titanic' was not smooth?"

Leonardo looked around. The other staff were re-entered to work under James’ call. Kate also went to change clothes, so only him and Hugo were left. "I can’t tell. I feel that in the process of performing, there is no way of expression to convey my inner thoughts."

Although Leonardo was very vague, Hugo understood it. There are many reasons, but it is undeniable that James, as a director, is a very important part.

In Hollywood, some directors are said to be "knowledgeable in training actors", or "able to maximize the potential of actors"; on the contrary, some directors are considered to be incapable of training actors and may even spoil the performance of actors. Is this just because the director can direct the play? Obviously not. If the director can act, then they don't need to stand behind the camera, and they can completely go into battle like Clint Eastwood.

Indeed, many directors like to tell actors, and even if necessary, they will roll up their sleeves to show it, but this is not the point. A director who really knows how to train actors is because his camera can speak and he has the ability to outline the performance of actors. This is called the power of editing, and it is also part of the director's stylization.

To give the simplest example, express the sad emotions of a character. How would a director who knows how to use an actor shoot?

Woody Allen will use the effect of language to pile up. The scenes of Cate Blanchett talking to himself to collapse in "Blue Jasmine" are classics; David-o-Russell likes to use a lot The trivial shots of the details completely capture the actor's performance. In the "Fighter (the., Christian Bale's series of eye corners, mouth corners, eyebrows, and movement details have unknowingly portrayed the character; Paul Thomas -Anderson likes to use the light and shadow effects and angle changes in the long lens to create an atmosphere. The scene where Daniel Day-Lewis brutally kills Eli with a bowling ball in "The Blood Is Coming" vividly outlines the image of madness.

It can be said that these directors who know how to train and use actors will use their own lenses to show the performance of the actors, and even play a double effect.

In "Death Row", Tim Robbins, as a director, lacks overall control of the rhythm, but his capture of the actors’ performance is top notch. From his perspective as an actor, he takes Su The details of the performances of Shan and Hugo were perfectly recorded with the lens, and finally the two protagonists aspired to the best actor Oscars.

However, not all directors know how to show actors' performances. Simply put, among the "Seven Deadly Sins", David Fincher's biggest characteristic is his sharp editing and sharp shots, so there are a lot of detailed shots in the movie. It is piled up, which requires actors to have sufficient control over the accuracy of the performance, but if David uses a full-length shot, the overall rhythm will slow down, the performance will naturally slow down, and the final effect will be water and soil. Dissatisfied.

As a blockbuster film director, James has the unique ability to schedule big scenes in Hollywood. Whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar", James has an excellent grasp of the whole macro lens and the connection of the whole story. But in In the actor's performance, James lacked spirituality. He simply and rudely recorded the actor's performance, but he could not really carve out the essence of the performance. Therefore, in James' films, the characters are actually slightly thin, and the performance space left for the actors is also very limited.

But this is also normal, because any director has his own direction to specialize, and there is no truly almighty director. This is also when "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum" swept the best film, best director, best actor, and best actress. After the protagonist and the best adapted screenplay, for forty years, there is no reason why the work can replicate this miracle. As a commercial film director, James is already at the pinnacle of the pinnacle and cannot demand more from him.

Leonardo just mentioned the "lack of expression", probably because James did not know how to use the camera to further explore the role, which made Leonardo have a talent, but did not know how to play. In fact, the two leading actors of "Titanic" are both very talented. Leonardo and Kate are both powerful rookies doing their part. However, after the movie was released, people remembered the two vases more. Not two actors.

Although Kate won the Oscar nomination for Best Actress, it is more because of the magnificence of the overall "Titanic" than how good her performance is; Leonardo simply did not win the nomination, which is quite impressive. For grief.

"Have you ever thought about communicating with James?" Hugo has never worked with James personally, so he has no way to give constructive opinions, but Hugo also knows that James actually has requirements for acting, otherwise he would also Leonardo will not be required to star in the "Titanic" work.

Leonardo looked at Hugo in a bit of astonishment, "You mean, do you communicate directly with the director?"

In the crew, James is a one-of-a-kind person, no one can challenge his authority. Usually James always stands behind the camera and rarely communicates with the actors. In terms of performance, it is more for the actors to explore by themselves, and he rarely puts forward hard indicators. This is why Leonardo has not been able to find the rhythm.

Hugo smiled, "Of course, don't you know? It was James who asked you to act in this work wholeheartedly. He values ​​you very much and will definitely not ignore your opinions."

"I thought it was because of your recommendation." Leonardo said in surprise.

Hugo shrugged. Although there are more or less his factors in it, Leonardo still starred in this work in accordance with the historical trajectory, but James' personal will cannot be ignored. "Trust me James wants you to perform well in this work more than anyone else, of course, except for me."

Leonardo looked at Hugo and suddenly laughed, "You are worried. If I play this work and regret it, you need to be responsible, right?" Leonardo said right away. Concerning Hugo, he suddenly laughed triumphantly when he saw Hugo's slightly awkward corner of his mouth.

In fact, Leonardo knew that although he was indeed recommended by Hugo to a large extent, he decided to accept the script; but Hugo did not force him, he also took the script after careful consideration. However, it is rare to see Hugo’s embarrassment, Leonardo is still very happy, “Don’t worry, even if I really regret it, then you can invite me to act in a rival role in your next work. You only need to meet my requirements for acting. You won’t be held accountable."

Regarding the performance, Leonardo's hot heart has never cooled down, especially after seeing Hugo's performance in "Death Row", his blood boiled even more.

Seeing the smug Leonardo in front of him, Hugo suddenly felt that he was thinking too much. History has not changed, but it has also changed. What he needs to worry about is not to repeat the mistakes, but to walk out according to his own will. A brand new road. Now that his destiny has changed, then Leonardo's destiny has also changed, hasn't it?
