Superstar

After watching the scripts of the two production companies of Warner Bros. and Columbia Pictures, it turned out that there was only one "Mr. Sweetheart" which was not bad, but Hugo did not plan to consider this work.

Of course not because "Mr. Sweetheart" made Tom Cruise, but because this work could not meet Hugo's requirements.

"Mr. Sweetheart" can be regarded as a romantic comedy, and the theme is to discuss the relationship between sports agents and players, but the space given to the male protagonist in this work is actually very limited. Tom is more obedient in this role. Thank you, there are not many parts that really show off your acting skills, not as good as Tom's performance in the later classic "Magnolia".

And director Cameron Crowe (.) also seems a bit lazy in controlling the rhythm of the film. Cameron’s Hugo’s favorite is the 2000 "Almost Fame".

"Mr. Sweetheart" really achieved the supporting actor Cooper Gooding (cuba...jr.), not only got him the only acting nomination in his life, but also won the statuette in one fell swoop, and created the pinnacle of his career. . In comparison, Tom can rely on this work to win the nomination, more driven by the super popularity.

For Hugo, the role needs to study acting skills, but the level of challenge is not enough. Therefore, Hugo did not have much interest in this.

A bunch of scripts from Universal, Disney and MGM are very boring. Neither the story itself nor the characters have too many highlights. Paramount has a script that makes Hugo shine. This is called "First Fear". Fear)” is a very impressive work by Hugo.

Just because this work made Edward Norton (edward.), who contributed his debut, turned out, Hugo has since remembered this low-key focused but talented actor. Almost the entire work just made Edward, his The performance was so stunning that it was unforgettable for a long time.

"First Fear" is about the brutal murder of a bishop. There was only one innocent youth who was covered in blood on the scene. After verification, it was found that the bishop had a right to everyone, including this young man. sex. Infringement behavior, but the youth has the problem of "losing time" and can't remember what happened at that time. In the end, the lawyer exempted the youth from punishment on the grounds that the youth was mentally ill, and instead entered the hospital for treatment. But just before the youth entered the hospital, there was an ending that shocked the lawyers.

In fact, the pattern of "First Fear" and "Seven Deadly Sins" are very similar. The whole core is the young man. If Hugo hadn't played the "Seven Deadly Sins" before, then he would definitely see the script of "First Fear". Jumping up and down excitedly, this is definitely a perfect role.

But now, "First Fear" to some extent already overlaps with Wuming, and Hugo has just completed the challenge of "Death Row", so the attraction has dropped a lot.

Hugo really loved the script, and even calmed down to read the script carefully, recalling the plot of the movie, especially the second half of the reading, the excitement could not help but surging again, but finally put the script in. On the side, now Hugo has adapted to the choice, he knows that "first-degree fear" is not suitable for his current situation.

All the scripts have been turned around, and the works of large-scale production companies seem to have no bright spots. Even for commercial films, there are no works that can make Hugo look at it more. Hugo realized that although there were some reasons for his pickiness, it is undeniable that after the classic blowout in 1994 and the great works in 1995, the quality of the subsequent works did indeed decline, let alone the past. In the past two years, even commercial films have many bright spots. Even literary and independent works are much inferior, which is quite regrettable.

In the end, there are only two scripts left by Hugo, one is the "British Patient" from Miramax, and the other is "Guessing the Train ( independently produced at a small cost in the United Kingdom.

"British Patient" is a well-known work. The Weinstein brothers obviously hope to collaborate with Hugo again after "Pulp Fiction". This work cost less than three thousand US dollars to let British director Anthony Minghella (.) in one fell swoop. Fame, the film is beautiful and touching, it can be called a classic. It has 11 nominations at the Oscars and won nine awards. It is the most classic desert epic film after "Lawrence of Arabia".

Later, although Anthony also launched "the talented Ripley (the. talented. mr., "the reader (the. reader, "cold mountain (. and other masterpieces, but they were unable to surpass the "British Patient".

The "British Patient" described an extramarital affair that occurred under the background of the war like a poem. The poetic beauty to the extreme brought a trace of sorrow and grandeur under the background of the war, which brought a long time to linger. Echoes of the soul. As a work capable of telling love in such a delicate and touching way, but without losing its majesty, "British Patient" is indeed a masterpiece.

The film also made the hero Ralph Fiennes and the heroine Christine Scott Thomas (...) in one fell swoop, both of whom were nominated for Oscars, but both fell off the list. Until a long time later, some people still thought that Oscar owed Christine a golden figure.

However, Hugo is not very suitable for this work. The title of the movie is "British Patient" which refers to the male protagonist. This male protagonist cannot remember anything because of amnesia. People call him the "British Patient". Of course, if Hugo decides to star in this work, he can learn the British accent. This is not difficult, but it is certainly not that pure.

More importantly, although the "British Patient" uses the male protagonist to connect the whole story, Christine and Juliet-Binoche (.) are both supporting roles, but it is these two that really shine in the work. For female roles, Christine’s performance was well received, and Juliet was recognized by the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. In contrast, the male protagonist Ralph does not have much room to play. One is that most of the time he is in confusion as an amnesiar, and the other is that the inner struggle and entanglement of the character are far inferior to the other two. Role.

This is indeed a great pity. Even so, Hugo thought about it carefully and saved the script.

As for "Guessing the Train", it is even more famous. When he saw this script, Hugo was rarely excited.

"Guessing the Train" is famous not because of the box office. In fact, the global box office of this work is only 20 million US dollars. It is not because of the awards. Although this work has won the Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay, The British Academy Award won the award in this department, but there was nothing else; not because of word-of-mouth, this film was even considered "evil. Pie work" when it was released, and many people called for the ban on this film. Even though the film critics gave a super high evaluation of 83, it still did not get the audience's attention.

But after the strong rise of imdb in the Internet age, "Guessing the Train" has risen to fame, becoming the most important member of independent cult films in film history, letting director Danny Bauer (danny.) and actor Iwan McGregor (ewan) .) Both are popular all over the world, and this work is regarded as the bible by countless people.

Hugo was also one of them.

"Guessing the Train" is adapted from the novel of the same name, about a group of Edinburgh sea. Luo. because. addiction. In the life of a gentleman, they live in the bottom like **** and enjoy themselves. The so-called train guessing is actually a game in which idlers make impromptu bets to guess the time and destination of the next train to pass the time when the train passes by.

The film discusses the chaotic, unscrupulous youth, the lost life and endless troubles can not find an outlet, can only indulge in poison. In the product, forget all the noise after squandering, but life still has to continue. It is a huge problem to choose decadence or return to the so-called ordinary life. The rock spirit flowing in the bones deeply shakes the hearts of every audience!

The whole movie is amazing. From content to form, from performance to director, it exudes wanton youthful rebellion. The fledgling Danny Bauer uses wild and unruly methods to portray the angry young people of the lower class to life, and does not Lost the humor of the district committee, against drugs. The visual reproduction of the addiction is amazing, and the whimsical idea of ​​crawling into the toilet to find the embolism is a classic in movie history! The rock music inside is even more obsessive. A bizarre and rebellious world is constructed in the high-speed photography, which makes people involuntarily addicted.

Because of the poison in "Guessing the Train". The description of addiction episodes is too real and too exciting~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so many people worry that teenagers will try drugs because of this. Quality, which also makes the movie full of controversy. Hugo also knows this deeply, Zhang Xiaoye would have been addicted to poison. He couldn't extricate himself from the product, and he was not sure whether he was affected by "Guessing the Train". But as far as Hugo is concerned, he is on the contrary after watching "Guess the Train". There is no interest in the product, and the movie is about **** and poison. The discussion of fashion and rock and roll, the discussion from perplexity to ordinary, from wanton to ordinary, has carried out Hugo's entire youth.

Just as Americans have a deep understanding of the Beat generation, Hugo is deeply fascinated by the confused generation that "Guess the Train" and "A Clockwork Orange" reacted.

When he saw "Guessing Train", Hugo almost screamed, even if he was only holding a thin sheet of paper in his hand and had no script at all, Hugo was still excited. But after I called Rick and asked, Hugo got the bad news. This script was accidentally collected. This is the script that Hugo received when he was filming the "Seven Deadly Sins". In fact, it was not a special one at all. The other party who invited Hugo didn't want Hugo to play, so Rick didn't care at all. Because Hugo's schedule was not right at that time, and Hugo's "Edinburgh accent" was definitely a problem, and Hugo didn't have enough time to learn.

At this time, "Guessing the Train" had already finished. Hearing this news, Hugo looked at the script of "Guessing the Train" in his hand, feeling lost.
