Superstar

"Spiderman" turned out in 2002, making superhero movies a new type of money printing machine in Hollywood. In the next ten years, Disney teamed up with Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and other companies to carry forward Marvel comics. Become the most profitable genre film in the film market.

Although Hugo is a bit tired of the aesthetics of superhero movies, he thinks that this type of movie has gradually become the same; but in fact, this kind of assembly line product is not bad, on the contrary, it shows that the production of genre movies is becoming more mature and formed. A complete system is becoming more mature in terms of rhythm, setting, and understanding of audiences. This is also the reason why superhero movies always achieve great success at the box office.

But for the actors and directors, the pipeline products have no new ideas, bright spots, and challenges. Just look at the selection of actors and directors in late superhero movies. They are always keen on using newcomers-unknown directors and actors, because film production itself has nothing to do with directors and actors, no matter who changes to join the crew. All are able to complete the task qualified.

Of course, it is undeniable that superhero movies have also become the best platform for making stars, and many unknown actors rely on this opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop. However, most of them are also restricted to the suits of superheroes, becoming one of the products on the Hollywood commercial assembly line.

However, before entering the 21st century, the production of superhero movies is still immature. Apart from "Superman" and "Batman", comic adaptation is still not a popular choice-in fact, this is related to the transformation of the film industry. After the computer special effects have matured, commercial masterpieces such as "Independence Day" and "Tornado" are the first to appear. After the production of special effects movies has matured, the incredible special functions and magical abilities in the superhero comics will have the board. The possibility of a big screen, so this has become a gold mine in Hollywood.

Therefore, at the moment when the film industry is changing, superhero movies are not much different from other commercial movies. Film companies are still obsessed with the appeal of big directors and top stars. "Batman" in 1989 was directed by Tim Burton at the beginning, and the addition of Michael Keaton (.), Jack Nicholson and Kim Basinger was even more luxurious; in 1995" "Batman Forever" has gathered first-line actors such as Tommy Lee Jones, Kim Kerry, Nicole Kidman, Fang Kimmer, and Chris O'Donnell.

It's no surprise that Warner Bros. locked Hugo as the new Batman actor.

However, with Hugo’s current vision and abilities, he is naturally unlikely to be interested in acting in superhero movies. Even in commercial movies, Hugo has a higher pursuit, similar to "Independence Day" and "Titanic". A better choice. What's more, "Batman and Robin" is truly a disaster.

"Batman and Robin" was originally regarded as a "big collection of bad movies". Some people joked that this work made all the possible mistakes of a bad commercial movie. There were too many branches, slow progress, dull main line, and weak. , Characters are mediocre... The most important thing is that the characters are seriously facialized. Batman does not show the style of Batman, and other characters have no features or highlights. Even as a popcorn commercial movie, the special effects are lackluster and *dazzling. Sleep is an epic movie.

The reason why Hugo has such a deep memory of this movie is not the movie itself, but the protagonists are unlucky because of this movie.

The actor George Clooney cited this work as a shameful shame in his life, and he regretted it many years later. This was the only commercial blockbuster in his career that attempted the real meaning of "Batman" for him. Smooth out the wound. After the fiasco of this work, George, who originally relied on "Emergency Room Stories" to hope to be among the top stars, fell into a slump and always rolled in independent low-cost production, even if it was the "Eleven Arhats" many years later. After Yu turned over, he still stayed away from commercial films.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, who played the villain Frostman in the movie, fell completely. After this work, the box office appeal was sluggish. Even the 2003 "Terminator 3" failed to come back to life. Later, Arnold moved to politics. , Became the governor of California and returned to Hollywood again after leaving office, but he was already "old and old." It was only then that people realized that the "true lie" had become his last glory, which was really embarrassing.

Chris O'Donnell, who played Robin, had a bright future and was considered by many people to have hope to become a superstar, but after that, things went from bad to worse. After entering the 21st century, he gradually shifted from the film industry to the small screen. Later he became the starring role of "Los Angeles Naval Crime Investigation Service (:la, but he couldn't make any more achievements.

It is worth mentioning that the heroine of "Batman and Robin" is Uma Thurman. She was also in a slump after this movie, until Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" in 2003. Let her reappear in front of the public. However, history has now changed. I don't know if Uma can still become the Plant Girl of "Batman and Robin", or if Uma can continue to play "Kill Bill" in the follow-up.

Therefore, facing Joe’s invitation, Hugo did not hesitate, and simply refused, "No, no interest."

Joe, who was always in a calm mood, seemed very surprised. For the first time there was a wave on his face. "Why?" He looked a little surprised, not because of Hugo's refusal, but because of Hugo's decisiveness. In Joe’s view, with Hugo’s current status, it’s not uncommon for Hugo to be unwilling to play "Batman and Robin", but at least Hugo will think about it. After all, "Batman Forever" has just been created. Box office success.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "I remember that Batman played by Fang Kimmer was very successful, didn't he?"

Qiao pursed his lips slightly, "His schedule is not up to date." It can be felt that Joe is very uncomfortable with Fang Kimmer's "betrayal". After all, "Batman Forever" won a complete victory. Shouldn't the entire crew want to continue to invest in the production of the sequel?

Not long ago, Fang took the lead in signing a contract with the crew of "The Saint (the. and performed with Elizabeth Sue, who is famous for relying on "Far from Casino". This also means that Fang missed "Batman and Robin", which forced Joe to reconsider the candidate for Batman.

After Qiao talked about Fang's situation, he said directly, "Then what about you? Is it because of the schedule?"

Hugo could feel Joe's aggressiveness. He smiled and said jokingly, "Because I don't like hiding behind a mask to perform?"

Qiao was stunned, then suddenly realized that he clicked his chin, and said meaningfully, "We can also increase your performance without a mask."

Originally, Hugo was just joking, he couldn't say "I think this work will be a disaster" in front of the director, so he wanted to pass it through in a self-deprecating way. But if he didn’t want Joe to point out, the flash of contempt in his eyes was caught by Hugo. If you think about the "yes" in the words carefully, Hugo immediately understood that this is what Joe is. Seriously, he was suggesting that Hugo was playing big cards-the situation reappeared on "Independence Day".

Hugo opened his mouth. He originally wanted to explain, but then he gave up. Even if he explained it, Hollywood is like this. If you are willing to believe, even the ridiculous rumors will be believed; if you don’t want to believe, even if No matter how reliable the source is, some people will still question it. Hugo is no longer a fledgling rookie. He sits upright on his own, so naturally he won't eagerly speak out to argue.

Therefore, Hugo's mouth was slightly drawn with a smile, "Then maybe Rick will be happy to read the script." Hugo did not say himself, but used Rick as a shield.

"It seems that the rumors are true, and you really...really care about the script." The scornful contempt at the corner of Joe's mouth remained, and the smell of sarcasm made people very uncomfortable.

Hugo didn't mind, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Hugo's answer seems inconspicuous, but in fact he is saying that he doesn't care about the pay, he doesn't care about the exposure rate, and he doesn't care about the cast of the lineup, so he naturally cares about the script. Now throughout Hollywood, actors who are qualified to say this can be counted with one hand, and Hugo is one of them.

Joe immediately heard the deep meaning of Hugo's words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His face became a little stiff, "You can see that you are very confident. However, this is your night, and you can really enjoy it. . It’s just that, who knows the future, everyone is paying attention to your next work, and I am no exception."

If these words are put in the correct tone, they are just ordinary polite words, but Joe's tone seems a bit domineering, as if he is cursing Hugo's next work to fail. Hugo didn't know which part of the problem went wrong, he met Joe only a few hours ago under Susan's introduction, and then things suddenly became like this.

Although Hugo didn't know why, he didn't care. He smiled at Joe, "Of course, no one knows what will happen in the future, including me and you, right?" Can it be expected that "Batman and Robin" will be defeated?

Hugo's anti-general caused Joe to choke, and then Hugo directly turned and left, which made Joe stand where he was, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Joe looked at the back of Hugo leaving, he was silent for a while thoughtfully, and finally the corner of his mouth hooked up slightly invisibly, but soon disappeared again, as if nothing happened just now, and he turned around calmly. Leave.
