Superstar
Chapter 1973: Old and strong
"I have never heard of you mention Ernst Lechman." Standing in the courtyard of the Sunset Tower Hotel, the Oscars night's coveted flickering halo, David Geffen's expression of wonder and eyes There is an uncontrollable excitement that makes him look like a teenager who has met an idol.
Hugo chuckled lightly, "Because you never asked." This is already the thirteenth person tonight asking Hugo about Ernst, and the reporters have also spent a lot of effort before. Discussing the relationship between Hugo and Ernst, even Hugo's demeanor has been robbed. It can be seen that everyone has rekindled interest in Ernst.
As a representative screenwriter of the golden age of Hollywood, almost every one of Ernst's works is handed down classics, such as "Dragon and Phoenix Matching", "Northwest by Northwest", "West Side Story", "Sound of Music", "Leisure and Leisure of Korean Entertainment". "Spring. Night", "Hello, Dolly" and so on. These works are enlightenment films for many filmmakers, just as the "Star Wars" series has affected a whole generation of people, Ernst's works have also affected two generations, from the 1950s to the 1960s, close to two. In ten years, Ernst has contributed countless masterpieces.
After Hugo mentioned Ernst tonight, the name awakened countless people's memories. Compared to Hugo’s Best Original Screenplay Award, the Golden Man, everyone was more attracted by Ernst. Almost no one could imagine that, behind Hugo, a new star of screenwriter who was born in the sky, he stood behind. To the great **** Ernst! In an instant, everyone was very interested in Ernst's current situation.
"Why. You and Ernst know?" Hugo asked curiously, he could read extraordinary from David's excited expression.
David still leaped with uncontrollable excitement between his eyebrows, and nodded vigorously. "'Hello, Dolly' has always been my favorite movie, not one of them; in fact,'the taste of success (ss)' is the miracle of my entry into the entertainment industry. I will always remember the first time I watched this in a movie theater. A scene from the movie. Do you remember? When I first saw you, I even teased, were you Burt Lancaster's son? He starred in the "Taste of Success"."
David in front of him was excited. Without concealing his emotional fluctuations, this is David Hugo has never seen before. It can be between David's words. I deeply feel the influence of Ernst's works on him, "Because I admire Mr. Lechman, I have seen all of his works, he is simply my idol!" David had to take a deep breath. Adjust your past excitement.
It is hard to imagine that David has been in this industry for nearly two decades and has become one of the most powerful and top figures in the industry, but he will still be so gloomy now.
David looked at Hugo seriously, "Mr. Lechman, how are you now?"
Hugo noticed that when David mentioned Ernst twice, he used the honorific name "Mr.", and the admiration and respect were permeated between words. This made Hugo stunned. Thinking carefully about the current situation of Ernst, it is difficult for him to sum it up in one sentence, because he is not Ernst-Ernst in his eyes has a bad life. But he didn't know what Ernst really thought of the status quo?
After thinking about it, "Ernst has always missed Hollywood." Hugo just used the simplest sentence to describe the current life of the stubborn old man as much as possible. It was plain and simple, but David understood it all at once. Come here, because it is hidden behind this sentence. "Hollywood has forgotten him", the sadness and loneliness of the vicissitudes of life. The aura around David settled down, and there was an indelible loss between his eyebrows.
Because David is very aware of Hollywood's cruelty and blood: the eliminated people will always become history.
"I hope I haven't interrupted your conversation." A hoarse but steady voice sounded gracefully beside, "Please forgive my rudeness. I saw you two there just now, and I thought I had to come over and say hello. , So I can’t wait to come over, I hope my actions will not be too rude."
Turning his head, Hugo saw the gray-haired old man in front of him. He didn't have a distinctive appearance but gave people a sense of closeness. With his neatly repaired beard, he could see that he was a very careful person with a face. With a gentleman's smile, the deep wrinkles around the eyes are filled with the wisdom of growth rings.
David also woke up from his thoughts at this time and cast his sights. He quickly sorted out his emotions and said to Hugo with the most elegant smile, "Hugo, this is Frank Peel. Mr. Mori, the current president of the Screenwriters Guild under the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; Frank, this is Hugo Lancaster, the winner of the Best Original Screenplay tonight. "David knows that Hugo is one. Facial blindness, so he took the initiative to take on the task of introduction and gave Hugo enough prompts concisely and accurately.
The college is a huge organization, with twelve directors taking care of daily affairs. Under the academy, there are fifteen guilds, including actors, directors, documentaries, producers, screenwriters, music, etc. These 15 guilds will elect four representatives each year, one from the documentary guild, and three from the other 14 guilds. These four representatives rank among the twelve directors, and the other seven elected The members of the board of directors work together-including the position of the chairman of the college, and the last director is the executive director responsible for the administration of the college-and the broadcast work with the TV station is that he is responsible for reading the full text of the Tiantian cleaner.
In addition, these fifteen guilds will nominate two persons in charge for overall management. Frank Pearson is the current president of the Screenwriters Guild.
Frank is a director and producer with a screenwriting background. He has dedicated classics such as "Female Thief Cat (cat., "Blood on the Bar (.hand.luke, "Hot Day Afternoon", among which Al -"Hot Day Afternoon" starring Pacino won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Frank's best-known works should be the two widely acclaimed TV series after the 21st century, "Advertising Madman" and "The Good Wife (d..
After David's brief introduction, Hugo recognized Frank, because the work "Hot Day Afternoon" was really familiar to Hugo. He showed a friendly smile and held Frank's right hand stretched out. "Mr. Pearson, it's nice to meet you. Thank God, I trouble you to come over in person, so I can avoid the embarrassment that I can't find time to visit you."
Frank is 72 years old this year and can definitely be regarded as a veteran of the industry. "And thank you for this little golden man tonight." Hugo's words made Frank chuckle slightly, "You deserve it! When I was watching'Perfectly Perfect', I felt very cordial. It can be seen that Mr. Lechmann's wonderful ability to control his lines has been carried forward in you."
Hugo was still wondering just now that the top representative of the academy actually came to the door and talked to him personally. What was it for? This was the first time in the world. But now the answer is revealed, and it is also for Ernst! It's just that I don't know if Frank represents himself or represents the academy.
"Hehe, Ernst would definitely not like to hear this sentence. When I showed him the'Perfectly Perfect' script, he scolded him severely." Hugo was telling the truth. It is also an important driving force for Hugo to continuously improve the script. Although Hugo always regarded Ernst as a screenwriter teacher, Ernst refused to admit it. He never thought that Hugo was his student.
So, in fact, when Hugo spoke about the award today, he made Ernst out on an impulse, and he didn't know whether this was the right decision. But now it seems that he made the right choice.
Frank showed an expression full of memories, "You know, this is Ernst Lechman. He is always making things difficult for others, and even harder for himself. This is why he always writes excellent scripts." Frank glanced slightly. Shen Shen, he seemed to think of something, but he quickly covered it, and covered his inner thoughts with a smile, "I haven't seen him for a while, how is he doing recently?"
Hugo paused for the same question, and did not choose to give the same answer as before, "I'm not sure how he has been lately, but when we met last time, he still screamed at me very badly. The stubborn bad temper has not changed. It seems that a person's life has allowed him to accumulate a lot of vitality, and he is still old and strong."
A simple sentence, polite and polite, but full of many hints.
Frank seemed to understand the subtext in Hugo's words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ which made his face a little darkened, and then twitched the corners of his mouth, "Next time you see him, please convey my greetings. Hope him everything Be well." After speaking, Frank let out a long sigh, "My goal has been achieved, then I won't bother you to continue talking."
Watching Frank's back slowly leave, David opened his mouth with a mocking smile, "The same Hollywood veteran, Frank has become the top figure in charge of the academy, and Ernst has been forgotten by people. So Frank After experiencing the peak of the'hot afternoon', no wonderful works came out."
Obviously, David has a better understanding of those intricate relationships in the circle than Hugo, and he also understands better: screenwriters like Ernst who purely insist on the creation of scripts have gradually been eliminated by the times. This is reality, a cruel and sad reality.
David's words caused Hugo to fall into deep thought, watching Frank's back gradually disappear in the bright light, his thoughts were surging. Regardless of whether Frank appeared on behalf of an individual or an academy, it is certain that Ernst's name has been heard again within the academy, and perhaps this is a good thing.
Thinking of Ernst stubbornly and lonely staying at home watching Hollywood, Hugo couldn't help letting out a long sigh. (To be continued)
