Chapter 1788： Cast list

Hugo always thought that his villa had enough floor space, and even seemed a bit empty, he didn't like this feeling very much. Therefore, Hugo always welcomes friends to come as guests. Only when the empty space is lively, it feels like home. Alex and Leonardo sometimes ended their work, and simply came to him for vacation, and they were reluctant to leave for several months.

But today, Hugo finally feels that the villa is actually not as big as he imagined-it even seems a bit crowded.

More than 400 people flocked into the villa. Only the first floor was obviously not fit. Some went to the jacuzzi on the third floor, where there were high-level golf, pool tables and mobile bar; some went to the private beach below. The bonfire is over, and it seems that some people are starting to swim at night; there are some people who have been transferred to the open-air swimming pool on the first floor and have a great time... Even so, Hugo still feels that there are people everywhere in sight.

For the first time, I truly feel that all the spaces in the villa have been used to the best of their ability.

"I can imagine the difficulty of cleaning your villa tomorrow. No wonder people say that the rich are just spending money." A calm voice called Hugo's thoughts back, and when he looked back, he saw Kevin Spacey. A look of ridicule and banter.

Hugo chuckled lightly, "Then you and me enjoying such a beautiful view together are not considered corrupt together?" Hugo was sitting on the balcony on the second floor. There was noisy noise in all directions, but there was nothing here. How many people, like a piece of land outside, became the only paradise in the whole party.

"It's just because they want to splurge, that's why so many people want to enter this circle, don't they?" It was not Kevin who answered, but Curtis Hansen, who was sitting on the other side, the director who was over half a hundred years old. Holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, gently shaking the tartar in the glass, his expression was very relaxed.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression, "I thought the dream of acting was." This mocking remark made several people around him laugh.

"Speaking of dreams," Curtis remembered something and turned his head. "Hugo, your assistant brought a young man over just now and said he was coming to the audition."

"Yes, the role of Matt Reynolds." It was Heath Roger, and Hugo nodded. "What do you think?"

"I asked him to perform a random live show. Guess what he did?" Curtis sold it off and looked at everyone around. Everyone cast a curious look. Then he said. , "He performed a short strip of clothes. Dance. I mean, he really started to take off in front of me."

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter. Hugo laughed happily. Although he had expected that Heath was a very bold and unfettered actor, such performance still surprised Hugo greatly.

"I didn't deliberately stop him. Cruise was standing not far away, and Lucas was beside him. I was like seeing how he would end up in the end." Curtis was hidden in the darkness and couldn't see clearly. Facial expression, but he can obviously feel the excitement in his tone. This time he did not sell off, "He danced for a while. Clothes. Dance. After taking off his shirt and pants, he finally jumped directly into the swimming pool. . God, you should really be there, everyone around applauded."

Bold, but not deprived of intelligence, even though I dug a hole for myself, but at the same time think about the future, dare to be bold and have talent at the same time. In fact, long before Heath entered Hollywood, he was destined to have a sky that belongs to him.

"If I told you, I just reminded him a little bit that this character is a Hollywood actor who knows how to cooperate. What do you think?" Hugo added, as he told Samora about Matt Reynolds Some simple information about this role is to see how Heath will perform. It now appears that Heath's audition is far beyond imagination.

Kevin couldn't help but sighed, "Wow, then he is much smarter than me. This talent is very rare." Although Hollywood has never lacked genius, every time he saw a genius appear, Still repeatedly admired.

"So what do you think?" Hugo looked at Curtis. Although he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he was very satisfied with Heath after listening to Curtis's description.

Curtis did not answer directly, but raised the cup in his hand and gently hit the wall with the tartar, "Congratulations on finding a good seed. I just saw Karl Earl go to talk to him. "This is nodding in agreement.

There are three producers of the film "L.A. Confidential", one is Curtis, who is also a screenwriter and director, one is Hugo, and the other is the official representative of Warner Bros. David-l- Walper (.l.). However, David is mainly responsible for the cost control part of the work, he will not intervene in film production related work. So I did not participate in the casting discussion tonight.

In other words, most of the work of filmmaking will fall on Curtis and Hugo. Curtis put his posture very low, because he clearly knows who really holds the initiative in this collaboration. What's more, Hugo has been very professional so far, and he has no reason to refute it.

"So, I'm not the first actor to be determined?" Kevin's clever sentence made everyone laugh.

Kevin Bacon sitting on the side also interjected at this time, "At least I am the first actor to be excluded." Kevin and Hugo are also old friends. Not much, and not much contact in normal times, but they are shallow and affectionate, and the two people are very happy every time they meet. Even if the two people are now in a hostile brokerage company, it does not affect each other's friendship.

Originally, Hugo wanted to invite Kevin Bacon to participate in the production of "L.A. Confidential." Curtis, who had previously collaborated with Bacon in the "Wild River", also raised his hands in agreement, but the action took a step slower. Ken has signed a contract with the crew of "Purely Fictitious (. and will collaborate with Jennifer Aniston on filming.

"If you want, you can come over and play a cameo on a corpse." Hugo said solemnly, but Kevin Bacon pretended to stand up angrily, "I refuse to accept the dictator's charity, I decided Go downstairs and enjoy this night of corruption." After speaking, he muttered, "I just saw caviar..." and left the balcony angrily, causing everyone to laugh.

Kevin Spacey changed the subject again, "I heard you have a list of actors you want to work with?"

"Yes, you are the first pick on that." Hugo affirmed, which made Kevin raise his hands and make a five-body worship gesture, "I think my year is complete." Jean Hugo laughed loudly, "There are three roles here, you can choose first."

Kevin looked calm, "I'm actually more curious about the names on the list."

"You should be able to find it on the Screen Actors Guild notice board." Hugo replied with a smile. In fact, most of the actors on the list of actors who want to work with are familiar names, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Daniel Day. -Lewis, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, etc., but these people are all top brands, and everyone has a different vision for the selection of works. It is not easy to gather in the same work.

"So, Hugo, haven't you decided which role you want to play?" The screenwriter Brian Helgrand, who was sitting at the side, interrupted Hugo and Kevin's ridicule, and moved the topic directly to the topic.

Hugo didn't joking anymore, but seriously thought about it, "Actually, I personally prefer the role of Ed."

This is the result of Hugo's deliberation. The three roles in "L.A. Confidential" have distinctive characteristics.

Jack can be said to be elegant and cunning. He can be said to be a smart man. He knows how to use his own advantages to seek profit, and he also knows how to stop in time and never get involved. Ed is treacherous and cold-blooded, and he has no ambitious ideas. Anything to cover up, but in fact, his heart hides the real secret. Stretching the contradiction between justice and revenge makes him walk on the edge of the boundary; Bud is selfless, upright and righteous, and practical, but he lacks some ingenuity and wisdom. The heart of a child is rampant, which can be regarded as a clear stream in the dark background of the story.

Among the three roles Hugo and Kevin are obviously not suitable for Bud, because in the original story, "Bud is the biggest guy in the entire police station" is a force A character whose value is greater than the mental power value. Then it means that two people are bound to choose between the two roles of Jack and Ed.

Jack is calm and restrained, gentle and elegant. His definition of justice and evil is relatively vague, but at least he holds the moral bottom line. This kind of character Hugo has not challenged it before; similarly, Eddy has this type of character rain. Guo has never played. Ed's appearance looks gentle, but he looks like a fox. That kind of gentleness is not liked by everyone like Jack, but makes everyone nauseous and repulsive. When he appears on the stage, it is an absolute A traitor, but as the story progresses, the role of Ed is unearthed bit by bit. The contradictions and conflicts in his heart, the driving reasons for his actions, the struggles and pains he still experiences, make the role fuller bit by bit. .

It can be said that both Jack and Ed are full of contradictions and conflicts, but a role like Jack is actually somewhat similar to "Yihai Xiongfeng". Although there are many differences in the role modeling and sculpture, they still reach the same goal by different means. The characters have chosen to provide justice. And Ed's weird and somewhat perverted character is something Hugo has never tried, and it is a completely different challenge from "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row".

Therefore, Hugo chose Ed after thinking.
