It's not easy to find someone who likes pure gangster movies now." Quentin looked at the smile on Hugo's face and couldn't help sighing, leaning on the back of the deck chair. Lonely expression on the face. Hugo laughed, "Perhaps genre films will have the ups and downs of'tide', but there will never be a shortage of audiences for works that are truly'glamorous'." In Hollywood, genre films will have a golden age, for example. The action movies that swept the world in the 1980s became popular with a group of superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. However, after entering the 1990s, although there is still a market for action movies, it is gradually shrinking. After entering the 21st century, it is almost submerged in the commercial blockbuster visual effects. The power of human beings can hardly be compared with the effects produced by computer technology. The same is true for gangster movies. In fact, movies with gangster elements such as violence, blood, and killing have always existed, but pure gangster movies have passed their own golden age. Beginning in the 1970s, "The Godfather" series, "Good Guys", "Once Upon a Time in America", "Scarface (, "Ghost Fighting ('s., "Modern Godfather ('s. Created the peak period of pure gangster movies, but after entering the nineties, this kind of movies focusing on the life of the underworld gradually lost the market and gradually declined. After entering the 21st century, it has almost disappeared from people's sight, even if it was Martin Scorsese's "New York Gangs (gangs.of.new. filmed again by the great director Ridley Scott The "American Gangster" directed by Te (.) also failed to reproduce the brilliance of gangster movies. Pure gangster movies are gradually declining. They have been replaced by police and criminal films with a wider audience and coverage. The film elements have become more abundant. Maybe there are still many movies around gangsters, but they are no longer pure and hard to reproduce." Film history classics such as "The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America", and "Good Guy". As a loyal fan of gangster movies and western movies, Quentin can be said to have witnessed the decline of this type of movie. He created "Kill Bill" and "Shameless'Bastard'" after the 21st century. The work has gradually departed from the category of gangster movies, integrating violence, blood and other elements into a wider territory, thus developing its own style.
However, in Quentin's directorial career, "Pulp Fiction" can be defined as a gangster movie. Although it is not pure, it is a tribute to gangster movies and also created a pinnacle in his directorial work. This peak is still very difficult to surpass even twenty years later, even if there are such "colorful" works as "Kill Bill", "Shameless "Asshole", and "Resolved Jiang Ge". "As a movie'fan', don't you want to appear in a'pretty' gangster movie?" Quentin raised his head and looked at Hugo curiously, "I mean, starring in a Like Robert De Niro, he used his own abilities to make a grand mark in the history of film. "Then he was fixed in the circle of gangsters and could never break free?" Rain Quentin was stunned by Guo's words, and then the two of them couldn't help laughing. Robert De Niro is a great actor in film history. There is no doubt that, but he has appeared in too many gangster movies, and most of the classic roles are fixed in this range. This can be said to be It's a huge regret. After 2010, he still played the role of a number of gang bosses. This makes the film critics very regretful. They think that Robert has been imprisoned in the late stage of his actor career and has never been able to make a breakthrough. At this point, Jack Nicholson is obviously going to show off a lot. After the ridicule, Hugo went back to Quentin's previous topic, "As an actor, I certainly hope to make a breakthrough, for example, like Brando's "Godfather" in the same majestic role "color", or It's like De Niro's little guy in "Once Upon a Time in America", or Lyotard's hero who has experienced ups and downs in "Goodies". From the perspective of actors and movie fans, this They are all very rare." Quentin even nodded to Hugo's words to express his approval. The smile and forceful gestures on his face made him break his neck. "But your appearance is very limited. , I guess you are more suitable for the role of'Godfather' Lipacino or Kaiser."

Hugo smiled, "Not everyone can become Kaiser." John Kaiser (. Cazale) played the second son Fredo in "The Godfather", a cowardly and incompetent role. '. In John's career as an actor, he only played five roles, "Less", but all of them are regarded as classics. In addition to the "Godfather" series, his works also include "Dialogue (the.'Female'" .Deer.huer Three Oscar-level works for best film. It is a pity that the acting genius died of bone cancer in 1978 and failed to continue his brilliant career as an actor. "The restrictions on appearance are actually excuses. A truly good actor will never be bound by his appearance. Even if there are huge obstacles in appearance, the actor can still show up with the help of makeup. Enough performance to achieve the director's goal and persuade the audience. Otherwise, wouldn't the actor's "acting" action be meaningless?" After experiencing "Schindler's List", Hugo's feelings became even more profound. To put it simply, people cannot look at their faces. The appearance is just a first impression, but it cannot represent the true personality of the heart. In the past, Hugo still felt that many roles need to be carefully selected. He is not suitable for all roles, but now it seems that unless the role has no room to play-such as an action movie, You need to fight constantly, and there is no inner space for delicate performance. Otherwise, any actor of the role can find a foothold and then complete his own performance. For example, let Hugo play the role of Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man", maybe the handsome appearance of the sun cannot be in sharp contrast with the role of Tom Cruise, and it cannot be as good as the director. Want to show the effect, but it does not mean that Hugo can't perform the effect of autism; for example, let Hugo play the role of Jack Nicholson in "Flying over the lunatic asylum", although Hugo looks Not like a rebellious and unruly model who dares to challenge authority

That's the case, but it doesn't mean that Hugo can't use acting to achieve such an effect. The effect that directors and producers hope to present is one thing, the advantages of an actor's appearance are one thing, and the thickness and authenticity of the actor's own acting skills is another. So, what actors need to consider is not whether they are suitable, but whether they are competent. At Hugo's current level, it is not enough to star in works such as "Rain Man" and "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum". He certainly can't surpass the profound skill of the original role's "color". Hugo still needs to work hard and constantly hone. It continues to accumulate, but at least Hugo has now opened the big door. The role of "Mon"-Goss in "Schindler's List" has successfully given Hugo a glimpse of the magic of acting. world. Quentin is not an actor, but as a director, he naturally knows the importance of performance. He looked at Hugo who inadvertently revealed his confidence and couldn't help but laughed, "You are right. If you are asked to act as a triad boy, do you have any ideas?" "At least you should give me a script. There are serious, funny, and follow-up guys, too. This category is too big." Yu Guo Xiaohehe said, "But I think it's to create a serious boy, but there are always unexpected mistakes in the course of action, but he didn't realize that he was still completing his task solemnly. This kind of contrast The black'color' humor that I created should be very interesting." Quentin listened to Hugo's casual ridicule, and his head flashed, "Hey, Hugo, I have a script in my hand now. How about the role of a gangster's "color", are you interested in acting?" Quentin now has the script in his hand? The first thing that came to Hugo's mind was "Pulp Fiction". This movie was released in 1994 at ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the time point is very suitable. But Hugo didn't have time to think more deeply. He quickly replied, "Our band has just signed a contract and we are going to record an album. I don't think I have time."

Having experienced such classic baptisms as "Schindler's List" and "Shawshank's Redemption", Hugo knows that "Pulp Fiction" is also an important classic not to be missed in the history of film, and it has an indelible influence on the development of future film styles. , And Hugo personally likes the movie very much, but he still didn't worry too much. He immediately thought of the current state of the band, so he directly expressed his opinion. Quentin'Lu' made a regretful expression, "I just thought that if you played the role in the'color', it seems that the contrast effect sounds good. However, I don't know, I originally hoped that the appearance would be better. 'Sex', don't play with a handsome actor like you. Now you seem to be very suitable for the role of'color'." "Cooperation always requires timing, doesn't it? The scheduling problem has always been a difficult one to solve. Question." Hugo said with a smile, "But I still think I am honored to be able to change your mind. In many cases, the fixed thinking of appearance is a drawback to casting." Kevin Spacey The reversal effect created in movies such as "The Very Suspect" and "The Seven Deadly Sins (se7en is a subversion of the stereotyped appearance of the casting process.
