After regretting missing "Changing Face", Hugo couldn't help but seriously reminisce, and it seems that there are really not many excellent works that can awaken memories in 1997. The main reason is that because of the existence of "Titanic", a work that has created countless new historical records, all other movies can't help but be overshadowed, just like 1996, when "Independence Day" was swept away. The sheer preponderance of a film shifts everyone's focus.

Of course, in fact, there are still many good works in 1997, such as "Men in Black" who opened the peak of Will Smith's career, such as "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" that recreates the dinosaur story, such as "My Best Friend's Wedding" that made Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts reach new career peaks, such as "Liar" that allowed Jim Carrey to consolidate his status as the king of comedy. Liar)", another example is the "Soul Catcher" who amazed the audience at the Oscars, and the "L.A. Confidential (L.A.) (L.A.) Secret" that is considered to be enough to beat the "Titanic" for the best picture after years of precipitation. A。 Confidential）”。

Even under the light of "Titanic", there are still a large number of works that bloom their own light, which also allows the film market to release the last energy before 1997 becomes the turn of the century. Later, in the 21st century, the "Harry Potter" series unraveled the long road of ten years that accompanied childhood, then "Spider-Man" opened the sweeping power of comic book heroes, and then the "Lord of the Rings" series brought people the grandeur and magnificence of Middle-earth.

The beginning and end of the entire film market has been unconsciously completed.

After realizing this, the last bit of regret in my heart disappeared. As Rick said, he really doesn't have to rush to take on the work now, and he has a long vacation to adjust slowly before he comes across a work that really fits his heart. Of course, the most important thing at the moment is the "Stormy" world tour.

After Rick left, Leonardo couldn't wait to run in again, constantly jumping on the carpet in front of the sofa, "Hugo, you say, is the really good acting performance the kind of explosive performance, or is it so restrained that people can't distinguish between real and illusory performances?" ”

Leonardo's question is interesting, but it's also a point that professionals have been discussing tirelessly. This is mainly divided into two schools in the United States, one is the desire to inject the soul of the expressive performance with solid basic skills, so that people can not detect the real or false, this representative is Broadway - strictly speaking, that is, the traditional British school; One is more fond of visual impact and spiritual impact, and obsessed with the kind of shock and courage that precipitates in a certain moment, and this representative is Hollywood -- in other words, the American modern film school that puts interests first and is committed to the popularization of art.

If you carefully look at the winners of important awards ceremonies such as the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globes, and the Oscars, especially from the second half of the 80s to the second decade of the 21st century, there is an obvious development trajectory, that is, the Hollywood faction gradually gained the upper hand. Academies tend to be more fond of rewarding performances that are stormy, and on the contrary, those delicate performances that have won the admiration and cheers of the entire market, but it is even more difficult to win the statuette.

To put it simply, explosive performances are more obvious, even ordinary audiences can see a reason, they can clearly feel the shock; Introverted and delicate performances require a higher level of appreciation and cultural literacy - the most important thing is to accumulate and precipitate enough films, not all audiences can appreciate the difficulty of such performances.

The choice of the college, needless to say. This is also the demand of the market, and at the same time, it is the same as the development trajectory of films.

Put it on Leonardo, and it's even more interesting. Because explosive performances require a crutch, for example, his performance in "Different Sky" has a flashpoint that allows him to play to the extreme, so he is like a fish in water and shows it to the fullest, which has also become a peak of his fame at a young age; And plain and delicate performances require carving, patient carving, such as his performance in "Titanic".

"No, I don't agree with your way of making such a distinction." Hugo let out a long sigh of relief and sorted out his thoughts, "My personal understanding of acting skills should be to correctly substitute accurate emotions into the role, and then show them in the most realistic way at the right time." This is what Hugo realized after filming "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Prisoners", "When you need to be restrained, maybe forbearance, maybe delicacy, maybe repression; When it needs to erupt, maybe suddenly, maybe incrementally, maybe out of control...... There are many minor differences. So, you think your differentiation is too simplistic and crude. ”

Leonardo jumped a few times in place excitedly, "Yes, that's what I'm thinking about, I've watched 'Death Row Walk' many times before, and I prefer your quiet foreshadowing in the first half of the first half to your last few outbursts, and you can feel Matthew's soul in every move." But when people talk about this work, they always talk about the executions, and God, I really want to yell at them, 'Do you know how to appreciate it!' ’”

Looking at Leonardo's excited expression, Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Leo, you can't say that, everyone has a different angle of viewing movies, even us, some movies may not be able to understand." Otherwise, there will not be so many regrets left in every era, because only time will give the real answer. ”

For example, the greatness of "vulgarity" is only understood after ten years of precipitation; For example, the classic "The Shawshank Redemption" was also recognized after twenty years of time.

"But for us actors, it's a very serious problem...... Leonardo said.

On this night, Leonardo and Hugo have been discussing their views on acting with enthusiasm. It wasn't until Joseph came in to remind him that Hugo had a tiring day today, and what he needed most now was to take a hot shower and then rest, after all, there was still a whole day of busyness tomorrow that Leonardo reluctantly stopped.

Looking at Leonardo's unwilling face, Hugo laughed, he knew that Leonardo was going to return to the "Titanic" crew next, and the next such face-to-face communication was estimated to be two months later, and no one could say for sure that there was such a thing. "How about you take a break here, I'll go take a shower, and then come out and continue talking? Sleeping a little less is not a big deal for me. ”

Hugo's words immediately made Leonardo happily agree, and Joseph could only be helpless.

However, when Hugo came out of the bath, he found Leonardo's body on the bed, and he was already asleep, which made Hugo cry and laugh completely - he, a man who had traveled a long distance, was not so tired, and the result was that Leonardo was physically exhausted first. Hugo covered Leonardo with the quilt, put on a light T-shirt and sweatpants, and left the room, intending to find some food, even if it was a quick snack.

Although I had an in-flight meal on the plane today, I didn't have much appetite when I arrived at the hotel, and now I feel hungry. Originally, it was possible to call room service, but Hugo was a little tired now, thinking that it would be better to go out to blow the wind, so he went downstairs himself.

When I came to the hotel lobby, I asked about the nearby convenience store that was open 24 hours a day, but I was disappointed, and even the hotel kitchen was closed. Although Hugo had long lost hope in Europe's "business hours", he was still shocked, and in the end Hugo could only run to the vending machine, buy a large handful of chocolate bars, and walk to the sofa in the lobby depressedly, trying to find a place to sit, look at the delicacy of the garden outside the window, and enjoy his supper.

Not wanting to see a familiar back, Hugo chuckled, walked straight over, and handed a chocolate bar over, "Do you need it?" ”

Charlize, who was sitting cross-legged on the bench by the garden window, looked up and found that it was Hugo, and couldn't help laughing, raised the coffee in his hand, and gestured to Hugo. A happy smile immediately appeared on Hugo's face, picked up a disposable cup from Charlize's hand, and then respectfully began to take coffee, "I just looked everywhere and couldn't find it at all, where did you conjure it up?" ”

Charlize pointed out the gate, "I just walked three blocks to buy it." He still had an unbelievable expression on his face, obviously not comfortable with the silence of Berlin after 9pm, which is really unbelievable for a top city known all over the world without nightlife.

Hugo had an empathetic look on his face, "I'm already missing Los Angeles." Charlize laughed, then took the chocolate bar from Hugo's hand, tore it open and sent it directly to his mouth.

Hugo also sat down next to him, "You don't have to control your diet today?" Before he could finish speaking, Charlize handed the chocolate bar back to Hugo, "I've run out of food for today." ”

Looking at the chocolate bar that was bitten no more than a quarter of the time in his hand, Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes, then took it and teased, "This bite is really ...... Big. Then Charlize elbowed him, causing Hugo to grin his teeth.

Hugo and Charlize neither spoke, but sat quietly, looking out the window at the garden in the moonlight, without even making eye contact. However, the stiff and tense lines of the shoulders couldn't help but slowly relax, and the aroma of coffee in his hand made time stand still.

"Hell God, this garden is terrible." Charlize suddenly let out an exclamation.

Hugo didn't laugh, but nodded seriously, "Totally agree." Then there was silence for a moment, "It's sad that we are sitting here and watching such a terrible view." ”

Charlize nodded his chin vigorously and responded solemnly, "Totally agree." ”
