Wall Street professionals are well versed in the principle of "timing", and making accurate decisions at the right time is the key to success.

The same is true in the film industry. If the "Seven Deadly Sins" were released without the resistance of young volcanoes, they might not be able to achieve such a brilliant success; if the "Avengers" was 10 years in advance, aside from the constraints of visual effects, genre films It is not yet mature, and the market is not fully mature, and it may usher in a disastrous defeat; the "Future Water World" brewed a tragedy in 1995, but if it is placed five or ten years later, even if it fails to succeed, it will not lose money. Bring down a company.

This is especially true for the Oscar statuettes. For example, the year when "Shawshank's Redemption", "Pulp Fiction", and "Forrest Gump" collided, if these three works were placed in other years In the theater, they may all have the ability to capture the little golden man, but it is a pity that they met head-on, and history chose the "Forrest Gump" that best fits the historical trend of the year. If history has undergone a slight change, who can be sure Say, it is not "Pulp Fiction" or "Shawshank's Salvation" that won in the end?

This is the importance of timing.

In the history that Hugo is familiar with, the work "Girl. The Devil" was released at the end of 2003. Charlize gave an amazing performance. In the following awards season, the work was almost absolute. The advantage leads the battle for the queen, and he is crowned with the title of queen at the 76th Oscar in one go.

But now. From 2003 to 1998, will the timing really be correct?

Charlize was only twenty-three years old in August of this year, and this age is still young and immature in Hollywood. Most of the actresses have appeared in some campus youth love comedies at this stage. Actresses like Charlize who have worked hard to polish their acting skills are definitely rare. But even so, the current Charlize is still immature. Whether it is performance experience, social experience or understanding of performance, under the lack of time, there is still much room for growth.

The role of Irene Enos is not only heavy and dark. And complex and sharp, but also delicate and fragile. How a woman without the power to bind a chicken became a serial killer that shocked the United States, and the cruel and cruel methods of killing are even more outrageous. But hidden behind her ferocious and terrifying face, it is the obsession with love. There is also the loneliness longing for care, that softness, heartbreaking, and even more terrifying, this soft corner has been wiped out bit by bit in life.

This role is intricate, profound and true, and the challenge is unimaginable, even surpassing any role Hugo has played so far.

Is Charlize competent?

Not only that, but the Oscar prospects cannot be ignored. Everybody knows. The Oscar nomination is strength, but winning is luck. Charlize had the right time and place at the 76th Oscars. At that time, none of her four competitors could give effective challenges. Relying on "Whale Rider ( to win the nomination for the first time, Keisha-Castle-Hughes (Castle-Hughes) was only twelve years old and was destined to accompany him early in the morning; Samantha of "Forward Heaven ( -Morton won the acting nomination for the second time, but the overall strength of the work is too weak and almost ignored.

The ones who can really make an impact on Charlize are Naomi Watts (s) of "21 grams (21 grams and Diane Keaton of "Love is compromise ('a., but "21 grams" "The public relations of "are focused on the actor Sean Penn, and Diane's work is a romantic comedy with weak competitiveness.

so. Almost no one can create a threat to Charlize, who has dedicated his career best performance, and Charlize finally leads the way in one fell swoop. But if the "female. Devil" is advanced five years. Without the most important timing and luck, can she still successfully win the most important queen trophy of her life?

If "Female. The Devil" was actually filmed and released in 1998, then would this work become "Forrest Gump" or "Pulp Fiction", or simply fail completely and be obliterated in 1998. Here, no one ever mentioned it.

This is a question that no one can answer. Neither can Hugo.

"Hugo? Hugo!" Charlize found that Hugo seemed to be in a trance. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Hugo's movement, so he had to shout. Hugo then turned to Charlize, cast a suspicious look, "I'm asking you, what do you think?"

"What are you worried about?" Hugo hesitated and asked.

Charlize chuckled lightly, "Worried that I won't be able to play this role? Worried that I would ruin the script? By the way, I have read the first fifteen pages of the script. It is so exciting! I really like it too much—worry about my ability. Isn’t that enough? Worried that I’m doing something beyond my abilities? Worried that I’m making a wrong decision — of course, the main thing is that I’m worried that David made a wrong decision.”

Charlize's tone was very relaxed, with a hint of self-deprecating in the words, but she could still vaguely feel her anxiety and hesitation.

Hugo found that the situation seemed similar at this time-Leonardo's situation came to him again. When he persuaded Leonardo to play the "Titanic", although it is completely different from today, it is essentially the same: how should he give his opinion when he knows the trajectory of historical development? Has he become the "program producer" in "Trumen's World" who hides behind the screen and manipulates the lives of his friends?

This is really ironic, because Leonardo is now in Lanches, completely away from the chaos of Hollywood. In fact, Hugo knew that James Cameron had already had two fierce conflicts with Rick for this, and even once James slammed the door directly.

Because "Titanic" is still in the propaganda period, but Leonardo and Kate are both absent from the follow-up propaganda, which is simply a shame for James. However, the propaganda period is not the most important. After all, "Titanic" has been released for nearly two months. The intensive propaganda period has already ended. James' real intention is still Oscar.

Although the awards season has not formed, although the Oscar public relations has not really taken shape, James has keenly smelled the clues. He hopes that Leonardo and Kate can accompany him to attend some parties, some banquets, some dinners, and do a good job of public relations. He needs to win this confrontation between "Titanic" and "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect". He needs to win this confrontation between him and Hugo. He needs to win this confrontation between traditionalists and reformers. The confrontation between.

However, Leonardo disappeared directly, and Kate returned to London for a short time after finishing the filming of "Trumen's World". Although he could shoulder the British propaganda work, the United States was beyond reach. This almost made James blow up.

But the problem is that Leonardo is hiding under Hugo's wings. Now even Shirley Lansing and Kevin Pence are not willing to confront Hugo head-on-even for James- Cameron. This makes James full of anger, there is no place to vent, he can only be angry at Rick.

Even so, Leonardo still stayed in Lanches, enjoying this moment of peace that belonged to him. And now, Charlize also left New York, instead of telephone contact, arrived in Lanches in person, asking him for help. This is trust in him, but it is also a responsibility.

Hugo did not answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, "Do you remember how we felt when we saw the news?" Charlize followed Hugo's words and began to recall, "We all think this is a very crazy thing. The world, what is forcing this woman to embark on this road of no return. In fact, life is like this in many cases. The hateful person must be pitiful, but the reverse is also true, because man is a very complex animal, we Everyone is the same, yet completely different. Especially for someone like Irene Enos who has embarked on an unknown path, she knows that the point is the cliff, but she still keeps on striding forward and wants to understand her. It becomes more difficult."

Charlize nodded, and his voice fell slightly, "I know, there are so many unknowns in it, we can't understand it." Charlize raised his head and slammed into Hugo's eyes. , There was a touch of bitterness and pain reflected in the amber eyes like a calm hot spring, Charlize instantly understood the meaning in Hugo's eyes, he was thinking of her father~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the paragraph A memory that is firmly buried deep in my mind but never disappears.

Hugo is always like this. She can easily understand her true thoughts, but she is not aggressive. On the contrary, her slightly dimmed mood shines in again. Charlize pulled out a shallow smile, thanking Hugo for not directly saying the man's name, not poking her inner wound, but giving her enough support.

Taking a deep breath, Charlize buried his inner thoughts, and then said, "This is also the reason why I am worried. This is not just a role, but a real person. Let me play Irene Enos. This is almost an unimaginable huge challenge. I don't even know if I have enough ability to penetrate Irene's heart to explore her scarred past."

Hugo lowered his eyes slightly, concealed the inner waves, and then looked at Charlize again. This time he heard the vague expectation in Charlize's tone that didn't change much-it seems that Charlize is actually in his heart. Deep down, she still wanted to take over the script. She came to Hugo not to ask for advice, but to gain courage.

This is the Charlize he is familiar with, embracing the great dream of acting, and slowly advancing step by step in the torrent of Hollywood, but he has never given up easily. (To be continued)
