Superstar

Sergio Mimica Gozen kept looking around, and when he saw the beautiful water and sky at the end of his sight, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, no wonder people always yearn for the life of a rich man. ..."

"If you go to a small island in Australia, you can see a more wonderful view than this at almost no cost." Hugo walked out with coffee and motioned for Sergio to sit down. The two stood on the wooden inner courtyard. On the platform, the previous lotus pond has been transformed into a basalt wine cabinet. The lower level is a spacious storage space, the upper level is usually placed with pebbles, and ice cubes are placed on the party, and then the wine bottles can be placed on it. Since the black rock wine cabinet is a swimming pool and tennis court, this open-air platform in the inner courtyard has become the best place for everyone to relax and rest.

After several months of living, the furniture in the villa has gradually increased. Now there is a complete set of rattan chairs placed on the platform. In the middle is a square marble table pier with dark brown rattan bars placed on it. The table top, there are small wooden piers scattered around, all of which can be used as chairs.

"But I admit that the scenery is priceless." Hugo adjusted the smoky gray cushions on the wicker chair before sitting down.

Sergio raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "But the problem is, this is Malibu, not an Australian island." The latter half of the sentence did not say, "That's why people envy the lives of rich men." Hugo also chuckled lightly.

"You are cleaner here than I thought. I thought I needed to go through the paparazzi wall when I came over." Sergio said with a smile, which made Hugo directly raise his hands to express surrender, "I hope Qian Don’t do this, the scene is too terrifying to imagine."

Sergio looked around, then took another sip from the coffee cup, and wiped the sweat from his palm on his thigh nervously, "You should know the purpose of my coming here today?" Sergio and Hugo's friendship can only be said to be a good partner, far from reaching the level of intimacy of a good friend, so Sergio didn't know how to speak. But Sergio knows that Hugo is actually very sincere, and telling the truth can often achieve better results.

Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "I don't know. Come and tell me. Are you coming here to visit my new home?"

This ridicule also made Sergio a little more relaxed, "This is how it is, 20th Century Fox is preparing a project, and they hope to meet you and talk."

Unsurprisingly, Hugo raised his eyebrows, "Just talk?" In the past few months, 20th Century Fox has been deepening its cooperation with Endeavour Elite Economic Corporation, and a lot of pressure has accumulated. Presumably Kevin Pence is bound to win this time, and Rick is also very difficult to refuse.

But Hugo also knows that if he is really unwilling, no one can force him, and the initiative is still in his hands. However, Hugo is very curious about what project is worthy of 20th Century Fox's fight.

"You know, cooperation is naturally the ultimate goal." Sergio had no politeness in front of Hugo, and said honestly, "If nothing happens, I will be the assistant director of this work."

Hugo suddenly realized it and nodded, "So, about the work itself, is there any news that I can disclose to me in advance?"

At present, Fox in the twentieth century has a huge momentum. Before the cast lineup was established, pre-publicity had begun, but information about the project itself was very scarce.

"I don't know the specifics at the moment." Sergio spread out his hands regretfully, obviously unable to understand the 20th Century Fox's actions to keep secrets so cautiously. "However, if you want, they can contact Joe. Now, arrange a meeting between you, Roland, and Dean."

"Roland? Dean?" Hugo looked at Sergio with eyes wide open.

Sergio suddenly realized that Hugo really didn't have any ability to remember names, and quickly explained, "Roland Emmerich (.), Dean Devlin (dean.), they are'reinvented fighters (.) 'And the director and screenwriter of'Universe Raiders'."

Of course Hugo knows them, not because "Universe Warriors" ended the two consecutive titles of "Pulp Fiction" last year, but Roland is the famous disaster film king.

In Hollywood, when it comes to the king of vision, people definitely recommend James Cameron, Peter Jackson from the "Lord of the Rings" series, Michael Bay from the "Transformers" series, and the "Batman Prequel" series. Christopher Nolan (.) also has a huge crowd in the field of visual effects. Among the many directors, Roland Emmerich, who is nicknamed "King of Disaster Movies", is also a well-deserved master of visual effects.

Roland, like Michael Bay, is a master of commercial films. Although their works have been criticized for their connotations and ideas, they often become representatives of high-box office and bad scripts, but no one can deny that Roland injected popcorn commercial films. Unique Style.

For example, the slow motion of an object hitting the camera; for example, before the death of an important character, the camera is always zoomed in to allow the audience to see the process of pupil dilation; for example, the hero and the heroine have a kiss in front of a luminous background; and for the movie from time to time There was a heavy rain. These are Roland's signs.

Like Michael Bay, Roland has his own unique understanding of the rhythm control, matting and visual effects scenes of commercial films, which also enabled him to open up a piece of his own in Hollywood.

In the list of Roland's works, almost every one is familiar to people, "Independence Day (.day, "Godzilla (, "Patriot (the., "Hou Tian (the. day.after., "2012" and so on, these are all the works of the German director.

Hearing Sergio's mention of these two names, Hugo suddenly remembered that "Independence Day" was released in 1996. It's hard to say that this is the super blockbuster that Fox has been brewing in the 20th century?

"Independence Day" can indeed be called the title. This work also occupies an important position in the nineties when the masterpieces were gathered, just like "Terminator 2", "True Lies", "Speed ​​of Life and Death" and other works. , Is a classic commercial action blockbuster. The difference is that the theme of "Independence Day" locked the story of alien invasion, which also made it the most successful alien movie in the 1990s.

The story of "Independence Day" is very simple. It tells the story of aliens entering the earth's atmosphere and causing panic around the world. A group of people gathered together to fight for the destiny of mankind and defend the earth.

This work, born in the 1990s, has a distinctive imprint of American world hegemony-Americans save the world, but also has obvious personal heroism-single-handedly solve all problems, and also has obvious top-heavy features-special effects snatched away The script and characters' limelight.

Although "Independence Day" is not pleasing in the eyes of film critics, the ratings of film critics are almost the same as those of "True Lies" and "Terminator 2". It is generally considered that the plot is ordinary, full of loopholes, and thin characters. This work can be said to be a model of popcorn commercial movies: the wonderful pictures, the ups and downs of the plot, the constant rhythm, the easy and simple stories, and the shocking visual effects, all of which have become a model of commercial movies for later generations.

It can be said that "Independence Day" has achieved unparalleled great success at the box office. Even after entering the 21st century, "Transformers" and "Avengers" are all considered alien themes, "Independence" The box office data of "Day" has not fallen behind, and it has a place in movie history.

Even in 2014, when it comes to the list of the most successful commercial films in film history, "Independence Day" can have a place. More importantly, "Independence Day"'s description of aliens invading the earth opened a new era in film history. Before that, people's descriptions of aliens were always spreading terror, and aliens were always hiding in the dark to make trouble and cause panic. However, "Independence Day" allowed aliens and humans to face off openly, just like hostile forces in war. This has since opened up a new genre of alien movies, allowing aliens to appear in the public upright In front of it, destruction even started.

"Avengers" can be said to continue the "Independence Day" model, but "Independence Day" came out in the mid-1990s.

Hugo clearly remembered that "Independence Day" was only in China. Country's incense. Hong Kong and Taiwan. It was released in the Bay Area, and when he rented a videotape of a movie to watch at home for the first time, the shock could not be described in words. Later, I don't remember the terrible plot of the movie, but I still have a deep impression of the magnificent war scene.

If you mention the most memorable business masterpiece of the 1990s~www.wuxiaspot.com~ many people will say it is "Titanic" and "Independence Day", even "True Lies", "Terminator 2", " "Life and death speed" these classic masterpieces must stand aside. The reason is that "Independence Day" opened up a whole new world on the subject of aliens.

As a commercial director, Roland's position in Hollywood is irreplaceable.

Prior to this, when Hugo considered the project planned by Fox in the 20th century, he did not think of "Independence Day." That is because the cost of this work did not exceed 100 million. Hugo vaguely remembered that there was no more than 80 million. Among the many big productions in the middle of the decade, they can only be regarded as small speedboats, which are not up to the level of cruise ships.

It now appears that the project that Fox hopes to cooperate with Hugo in the 20th century is "Independence Day". Hugo suddenly thought of it. In the celebration banquet of the so-called "Die Hard 3", he saw Bill Pullman, Adam Baldwin, Jeff Goblen (Jeff.), etc., in fact, they are all " The actors of "Independence Day" and the other unfamiliar faces should be candidates.

Since April, Kevin Pence has been thinking about it. It's really a big game of chess. Now, Kevin has officially sat at the negotiating table, but the question is, is Hugo willing to take over the script of "Independence Day"?
