Chapter 664: Role difference

Rise of the East 664 role difference    The Los Angeles Police Department in the background of the story of "Life and Death Speed" is not the British Intelligence Agency or the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. This is a mixed department, the police. Observers often deal with the poison of the slums. Traffickers, thieves, in such a department are not so good as "heroes of salvation". Even if he does not need to be loved by others and flowers bloom, he can at least not lack the support of his colleagues, especially in the face of "life and death". In the situation in "Speed", the lone hero cannot save the world. He needs the support of his colleagues.

Under such circumstances, it is destined that the actor Jack cannot at least not be a "pretentious" bastard, maybe humor is fine, but he cannot be self-centered.

"Do you know, what is the difference between Jack and James Bond?" One question was not over yet, and Hugo opened the second question.

This time, Graham's answer appeared to be much more positive, "Are there beautiful women with me?"

"Hahahaha..." This time everyone laughed, the beauty of Xiangche, this is the biggest highlight in the "007" series of movies, Hugo also said with a smile, "Yes, this is a difference In addition, there is another difference that after Bond encounters difficulties, he always goes directly to the black hand behind the scenes, which means that the end of the story should be King vs. King, but Jack cannot be like this, because for For the city police, when they are in danger, their first idea is not to catch the criminal, but to save the victim. Only after the personal safety of ordinary citizens can be considered, can they think about the culprit."

Hugo's words made everyone around him suddenly realize that they hadn't noticed it before.

In fact, this is also the routine of most action movies. The lone hero fights against the evil heads. This one-on-one confrontation is also a side of Hollywood heroism to the peak, not only the "007" series, the "Mission Impossible" series, The same goes for movies adapted from hero manga.

Hugo clearly remembers that in the fifth and sixth stories of "Fast and Furious", the righteous and evil sides madly crush each other during the confrontation. Innocent people have died and injured countlessly. It can be described as frenzied, but in the movie Li didn't give any focused description at all, because all the pen and ink of the movie was put on the protagonist.

But the "speed of life and death" is different. The main carrier of the story is to save the civilians on the bus. Relatively speaking, the confrontation between the leaders behind the scenes has been weakened a lot.

"Therefore, Jack's personality must be relatively rigorous. When facing dangers, he will focus on rescuing the citizens. When the citizens have quarrels, he works hard to resolve them, hoping that everyone can unite and tide over the difficulties. "Hugo concluded, "Although this will weaken Jack's character a lot, it is more in line with the setting of the whole story."

They are all action movies. Why can some works be called classics, but some are not? The plot setting is one aspect, and the rhythm control is also another aspect. Of course, the action scenes are also indispensable, but the character setting cannot be ignored. For example, "Mission: Impossible", "Indiana Jones" and "007" have all been produced. The series of movies, because their protagonists have personality charm, make the entire series into an attractive brand.

Although Hugo’s adjustments to the role of Jack made the character lose its charm, it made the character serve the storyline and made the whole story complete, smooth and reasonable, which also made the “speed of life and death” possible. From the outstanding level to become a classic.

Graham was plunged into contemplation. In the process of writing the script, his thinking about the role was indeed flawed; while Jane’s perspective was different, he looked at Hugo in surprise.

The reason why actors are divided into protagonists and supporting actors is because they have different driving forces for the story. People want to be the protagonists because they want to enjoy more lights. Therefore, when most actors choose roles, they hope that they are the leading actors. At the same time, they all hope that their roles have more room to play, the better.

But Hugo is now taking the initiative to deprive his role of aura, the only reason is that he hopes to make the role fit the whole script more, and make the story more complete and credible. To put it simply, it is to let the character serve the script, sacrifice the ego and fulfill the ego.

Moreover, Hugo is now in a period of rising career, he needs more stages to show himself, action movies are originally popcorn movies, the charm of the protagonist is the key to the success of the work, and it is also an important reason for the male actors to take action movies. Many people jokingly claim that men appear in action movies to be handsome. But now, Hugo is willing to make sacrifices for the whole story, which really surprised Jane.

"Why?" Jane immediately raised her doubts, but when she said it, she realized that she was a little abrupt, and could not help adding, "Why would you be willing to weaken Jack's personality? You know, this is unusual."

"Because this is a story that requires Jack to converge on his personality." Hugo didn't even think about it, and said directly, "There are many kinds of scripts, and sometimes the scripts are used to highlight the characters, and all the light is concentrated on the characters; But sometimes it is necessary for the role to promote the script and make the whole story complete. The responsibility of the actor is to complete this role."

Listening to Hugo’s explanation, Jane couldn’t help but sigh, but he suddenly understood what Hugo had done before, whether it was a supporting role in "Schindler’s List" or "Pulp Fiction", a work that was not favored. Especially the latter, when everyone is not optimistic, he resolutely chose to cooperate with Quentin Tarantino, because Hugo has never cared about his own light, but the role of an actor.

A truly outstanding actor must know how to be a member of the crew.

"In fact, although Jack lacked personality, he saved a disaster on his own. This is already the stage for Jack to perform alone, so his brilliance is enough, and there is no need to explore more personality." Hugo Now it is considered an advanced player in acting, so for Hugo, "Life and Death Speed" does not have too many challenges in acting, but more of a physical challenge from action scenes.

Graham had already reacted at this time, he looked at Hugo seriously, "Then you mean that the humorous jokes in the story have to be deleted?"

"No, I mean, he shouldn't be slick and pretentious when he speaks. Humorous jokes can still exist, but his attitude will change." Hugo explained, "I have read the script. The conversation can still be retained, and it is also the highlight of the active atmosphere. The most important thing is the change of personality. The same jokes and the same conversations are conducted by me and you. It must feel different. This is the difference."

Graham couldn't help but said, "This is a big project. I have to think about how to modify it. I don't even have a clear idea now."

"No, no, it’s not as difficult as imagined. The character’s personality is traceable. Similarly, different personalities have different behaviors and words. You just need to determine the setting of Jack’s role, and then for some actions, dialogues and expressions. With a little modification, it can be completed." Hugo shook his head and said positively.

If it is to write a script, Hugo is naturally not good; but if it is to modify the script, especially to adjust it according to the role, then Hugo is not a problem. When adjusting the "Shawshank's Redemption" script before, Hugo gave many precious opinions, and it is the same today.

Graham smiled shyly, "I think you are more like a screenwriter."

Hugo laughed blankly. In fact, the screenwriter, Graham, Hugo knows. His achievements in movies are not significant. The most successful work is "Life and Death", but he has a good performance in TV dramas. You can see his name in the list of screenwriters of classics such as "The Line of Fire (, "Band of Brothers (band. of., and "The Pacific War (the..

Today's situation is because Graham has just started to try screenwriting work now, "Life and Death" is only his first attempt, so he is slightly lack of self-confidence.

"At least you wrote the script, and I just talked with my mouth." Hugo said with a smile, which eased Graham's embarrassment.

"You can discuss more with Hugo, and then make changes to the script." Jane sat next to him and said, attracting everyone's attention, "Anyway, Hugo is the star of this role. All the content in the script must be It is presented through Hugo, so if two people discuss it together, there will be a lot of results."

"Good idea!" Before the two parties, Hugo and Graham, spoke, Ian sat next to him and spoke first, his eyes lit up.

In Hollywood, the real top stars already have a say in the script, such as Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others who have opinions on the script~www.readwn.com~ Producer Both the screenwriter and the screenwriter will listen more or less. As for whether the crew makes adjustments, it varies from person to person.

Although Hugo has not yet reached the level of a top superstar, the crew of "Life and Death Hour" is not a group of strong veterans. With this combination, it is not surprising that Hugo is involved in the revision of the script.

Hugo didn't expect this. He looked at Samora and Joseph in surprise. Samora looked indifferent, but Joseph showed a look of encouragement, because Joseph knew that Hugo had always had his own role in the character. The idea of ​​being able to participate in the revision of the script is also a small breakthrough for Hugo.

As soon as Hugo turned his head, he saw Graham's expectant eyes and asked hurriedly, "I think this is a good idea, how about you?"

Hugo suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were concentrated at this time, and thought the scene was very funny, he laughed and nodded, "Why not?"
