Objectively speaking, the two roles of Jack and Ed in "L.A. Confidential" are not the type that can push actors to the extreme. Therefore, Hugo finally chose a role that he is interested in-Ed. A polite role has never been challenged in Hugo’s career as an actor. How to make the audience hate Ed, or even hate and reject Ed at first glance, is definitely a difficult challenge. He thinks it will be a challenge. Very interesting thing.

"Ed?" Curtis cast his gaze in surprise, pondered for a while, or shook his head, "This is an extremely...very difficult thing."

Although Hugo has successively played the roles of "Schindler's List", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Death Row" and other villains, in fact, the audience's image of Hugo is still mainly positive. Not only because of the positive images in works such as "Independence Day" and "Life and Death", but also because of the positive impression Hugo usually displays when facing media reporters. Therefore, when people see Hugo, the first impression that comes to mind is more positive words such as "sunshine, bright, gentleman, and gentle".

This is also the reason why Hugo's image in the "Seven Deadly Sins" is more and more chilling after the image is reversed.

However, Ed in "L.A. Confidential" is different, he has been hated almost from the first appearance. Breaking a fixed impression is not an easy task.

Kevin chuckled slightly, "This is Hugo's purpose, isn't it?" He and Hugo are actually the same kind of people, and have a strong interest in acting. However, he is still slightly inferior to Hugo. He did not have a wise enough vision for the selection of commercial film scripts, so he never dared to try. If there is a chance in the future, he also wants to star in a commercial movie, which may be a very interesting thing.

"So what about you?" Hugo looked at Kevin with a smile, "I said, you are allowed to choose first."

"I want to play the role of Jack." Before Kevin's voice, Curtis patted his hands happily, and the crisp sound reverberated, "I just want Kevin to play Jack!" This made everyone unable to help. Looking at the excited Curtis, he couldn't help but explain, "In fact, I've seen Kevin's stand-up comedy before he became famous..."

Everyone looked at Kevin again, and Kevin suddenly realized, "That bar on the poor street?" Curtis nodded and agreed. Kevin said to Hugo, "A way to make a living when you are not famous. , As if you were performing on the street."

Curtis nodded vigorously, "I really wanted to work with Kevin back then. Before this work, Kevin had never played a role like Jack, calm, gentle, wise, cunning, but at the same time Hidden unbelievable emotions, knows how to take measures, but because of the residual justice, he is involved in the whirlpool."

Kevin chuckled, "If I say, I want to play Jack, it's because he unexpectedly died in the two-thirds part of the movie, would you believe it?"

After speaking, Kevin and Hugo looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Curtis sitting next to him was a black line, but things went smoothly and unexpectedly, so Curtis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Previously, when choosing the cast of the movie cast, Curtis heard that Hugo had made a list of actors, which made him worried, lest the bad choice of actors would ruin the whole movie, and he was the first to see it. The name "Kevin-Spacy", the second one saw "Kevin-Bacon", which really made Curtiss overjoyed; now, although Beacon regrets that he missed the schedule, Spacey follows him. The idea of ​​starring in Jack and Hugo as Ed is obviously a wise choice... Curtis' mood suddenly became clear.

"Hugo, what about Bud? I looked at the list of actors, and there was no suitable object on it." Curtis quickly cut into the topic. The Audio-Technica has formed two of them, so let's look at the third corner.

Imagine the confrontation between Hugo and Kevin-these two are the winners of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor in the past three years. They are both the acting leaders of the baby boom generation. They are just Describing the scene in your mind is exciting-even surpassing the confrontation between the two old dramas of Rial Pacino and Robert De Niro. In Sin, Hugo crushes the Brad Pitt duel.

When conceiving the role of Bard, Hugo proposed several candidates, including Alexander Lorraine, Mark Wahlberg, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp and others. This list also got Barry. -Meyer's approval-the latter two are not actors from Endeavour Elite Agency.

"So, you don't like Depp?" Hugo raised his eyebrows, and Johnny was also at the party tonight, but he only had time to nod and greet him. Curtis went straight to the audition.

Curtis did not speak immediately, but considered his own words, "First, he is not strong enough, far from enough; second, his temperament is too gloomy, he can win the mercy and concern of the audience, but he cannot That **** and cruel power broke out." He carefully looked at Hugo's expression, and made sure that Hugo was not too upset. Then he said, "So, I don't think he is suitable."

Hugo also knew this was a dilemma. The character of Bud looks like a "thug" on the surface, but in fact, hidden under his violent image, it is a broken soul. The innocence and beauty he represents is a very mixed emotion.

Hollywood Since the strong rise of a large number of action actors such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford, for a long time, strong muscles are almost the most important part of the interview process, so I want to find one in Hollywood Muscle actors are very easy. But this kind of actor needs to have that kind of childlike innocence at the same time, and have enough acting skills to make the audience feel empathetic, which is even more difficult.

Even Mark Wahlberg is not in line. Although his acting skills are commendable, his height is fatal-he is not even five feet seven inches (1.7 meters).

In fact, Hugo was the first to think of Russell Crowe, which is a matter of course.

When Russell was young, it can be said that he was a very unique landscape in Hollywood. He was strong in stature and rough temperament, which was fully displayed in the "Gladiator"; but at the same time, his delicate facial features had a very special kind. Childishness, that kind of innocence and childishness, makes his temperament change, sometimes men and sometimes boys, "beautiful mind (a... has become another stage for him. More importantly, when he was only 30 years old, Russell's aura and solid acting skills have already been admired by countless people, and his natural acting style has won countless praises.

Playing the role of Bard, Russell can be said to be completely in line with the original. More importantly, Russell gave Bard a sympathetic and heartbreaking beauty in "L.A. Confidential", which makes the tone of the whole movie. Everything has changed.

However, Hugo did not include this name in the list of actors because Russell is still a newcomer to Hollywood now. He is not sure if he wrote it so hastily, whether it is too shocking to the world-to select an actor who has never met before. work together? Not only in Hollywood, it seems very weird in any industry.

Originally Hugo hoped that Alex or Johnny could be qualified for the role of Bard, but Curtis was obviously not satisfied. Hugo thought carefully and denied his own ideas. He considered it. Fan said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of an actor named Russell Crowe?"

Hugo vaguely remembered that Russell worked with Sharon Stone and Leonardo DiCaprio in a movie after he landed in Hollywood. At that time, Sharon, whose career was in full swing, appointed Russell and Leonardo. The two newcomers joined forces, and even in order to force the producer to agree to this condition, Sharon did not hesitate to drop the pay and postpone the film contract just to match the schedule of the two newcomers. There was a lot of trouble about this matter, Leonardo also mentioned it with Hugo, but in the end the movie failed miserably.

Hugo had an impression of this, but recently he couldn't remember the name of this movie, and he was not sure whether his memory was accurate. Therefore, at this time, Hugo is still slightly cautious.

"Russell Crowe?" Even Kevin made a clear rhetoric.

Immediately afterwards, Curtis said, "Of course,'Lawlessness (.)', Australian film, this young actor has surprised Hollywood."

Hugo is not very familiar with Australian movies, and he doesn't know the movie "Lawlessness". Naturally, he doesn't know how many people's attention this movie attracted at the time in 1992.

This film called "Lawlessness" has been regarded by countless people as one of the most important films in the last two decades The film shows how an ordinary individual becomes an evil and cruel under the influence of what environment的纳. Purely, it shows not only the problems of independent individuals, but also the conflicts between the entire society and isolated groups. The blood and cruelty shown in the works are highly controversial.

At the same time, Russell, who is starring in "Lawlessness", also relied on his superb acting skills and outstanding performance to attract Hollywood's attention. This won Sharon's favor and knocked on the door of Hollywood.

Although the influence of "lawlessness" is really limited for ordinary audiences, "Russell Crowe" is still an absolute newcomer; but for directors, actors, screenwriters and other veterans, it is the first time I really feel it. Russell's unlimited potential. At the same time, the achievements of the two Australian actors Russell and Nicole Kidman in Hollywood have really opened the door for Australian actors to land in Hollywood.

Therefore, "Lawlessness" is indeed a very important work. Both Kevin and Curtis knew it.

Hugo can only bite the bullet and don’t know how to pretend to understand, but in his heart he thought to himself that his knowledge of movies is still very limited, and he should continue to learn, "Yes, it’s him, it’s him. Do you think he will come." How about playing Bud?"
