Superstar

Chapter 1974: Aura of Fame and Fortune

"You said, after tonight, is there another group of outstanding practitioners who will be eliminated." David's low voice with a trace of aftertaste, a trace of deep thought, whispered in Hugo's ear.

This kind of David makes Hugo a little strange-he is always used to David's joking look, it seems that he can make plans between talking and laughing, but now David can clearly feel the traces of the years between his eyebrows, all Irritability and noise slowly settled down.

Following David's sight, Hugo saw James Cameron surrounded by people. Although Hugo also created history tonight, the focus of attention is not inferior to that of James, but if strictly compared, Hugo is still slightly inferior, as James’s arrogant award-winning speech said, "I am the king of the world. ".

Even if you can't understand James' arrogance and arrogance, even if you don't like the bombardment of commercial movies, and even if you hate James's arrogant self-righteousness, no one can deny that the glory of "Titanic" has been strongly shaken. The entire film industry. Just this great achievement is enough to make James and Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and other industry leaders on the same level.

Therefore, more than one-third of the audience is now surrounded by James, the noisy scene almost makes people think that this is the "Titanic" box office celebration, rather than Oscar night.

Hugo instantly understood the meaning of David's words. Ernst was eliminated after the "male and female thieves" changed their dynasties. Gradually fade out of people’s sight; and now that the era of change led by the "Titanic" has come, does it mean that another group of practitioners will be eliminated?

For example Steven Spielberg, for example David Geffen. For example, George Lucas.

David's question also caused Hugo to fall into contemplation. In fact, according to the historical development trajectory, this is indeed the case.

Although after entering the 21st century, directors such as Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese still have a large number of works released, and the old Martin only realized his Oscar statuette dream in 2006; but In fact, this group of directors who have created the pinnacle are indeed gradually fading out of people's sight.

George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Ron Howard, and others have all begun to go behind the scenes. The identity of the producer is active in the field of film; directors such as Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton still maintain the number of their own works. Then they repeatedly occupied the eye during the awards season, but more often they were far away from the spotlight. Concentrate on the creation of your own work.

Even James Cameron, who created history, has gone further and further along the road of creation, creating an "Avatar" in ten years, shocking the world. But more time he completely disappeared from the public's sight.

Correspondingly, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson, David Fincher, Lee. Ann, j. j. The new generation of directors such as Abrams began to occupy the public eye. At the same time, the wave of new directors set off by Marvel has become the mainstream of the society-iron-hard comic-based movies and a stream of director replacement lists.

From this perspective, history has indeed changed again. The change of the entire film production industry model resulted in the directors who had reached the peak of creation in the thirty years after the birth of the "Male and Female Thief".

But are they really eliminated? of course not. Unlike thirty years ago, the change this time is that technology changes the industry. Let the film enter another development direction, but in fact, behind the more and more brilliant box office, it is the film becoming more and more impetuous. The number of truly classic movies is also decreasing, and those truly excellent directors are still tirelessly innovating.

David’s question is actually Hugo’s most curious question. This time, the historical development trajectory has deviated a little bit. Then what kind of stormy waves will the future development of the film industry cause? Will Marvel movies still rule the king? Will Disney still turn "Star Wars" into another money printing machine, and will Universal Pictures, which lack anime-based film adaptations, completely lose its competitiveness? Can DreamWorks become a decisive force to change the market...

"Then let's wait and see." Hugo said softly, not knowing whether he was answering David or telling himself. After the voice fell, he fell into a quiet place, and at the noisy party scene, it was like an isolated paradise, and people enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.

However, this tranquility was quickly broken, and Barry Meyer appeared in front of Hugo with joy, and celebrated Hugo’s victory tonight. Although the "L.A. Confidential" produced by Warner Bros. At the last moment, it fell short, but it was still a victory. Compared with the $200 million achieved by the "Titanic", the cost of "L.A. Confidential" was only one-fourth of the cost, but it was completely comparable. achievement. Barry's mood could not be more cheerful.

Although not as good as James, Hugo is still a sought-after figure tonight, especially for major film studios. Hugo’s value as a producer has surpassed his value as an actor and can give film companies Bring more benefits.

After all, an actor can only shoot one work at the same time, but the producer is different, as if Hugo was shooting "Trumen's World" while also remotely monitoring the "perfect" production. This is true of these top big guys, including Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. Therefore, Hugo's position in the hearts of film companies now increases instead of falling.

On the surface, James is the focus of the audience tonight, and the "Titanic" is even more beautiful, but the layman can only understand this when watching the excitement. The insider looks at the doorway, and the old foxes in the circle know it. The real big winner tonight is Hugo.

Barry and Hugo chatted for a while, and then the top leaders of the Screenwriters Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild came to congratulate Hugo. These union managers are different from major film production companies. There is no intersection of interests between them and Hugo, but as a union, they need more people with strong appeal to become union spokespersons and represent the union to major companies. Negotiate and safeguard the interests of the union.

For example, Tom Hanks now has a very lofty position in the Screen Actors Guild of America. Even if it has not reached the height of a hundred responses, it is not far away.

Now, the trade unions have also seen Hugo's influence-it stands to reason that Hugo is only 30 years old this year, and he is not yet married, so his influence is very limited even if it is far-reaching. It's like Tom Cruise, who has been in Hollywood for nearly ten years and has a good reputation in the Screen Actors Guild, but he is far from the height of Hanks. However, Hugo has become an exception. He now has the ability to rely on his own strength to challenge the major film companies, and the union will naturally not let it go.

Expanding influence among the trade unions also means that Hugo has truly entered the center of power throughout Hollywood, from the production company to the industry practitioner’s trajectory, and from the industry practitioner to the production company’s reverse trajectory, and at the same time There is also the horizontal track of Hollywood to other industries. Hugo has stood in the center of the torrent.

It is worth mentioning that the American Screenwriters Guild is obviously too enthusiastic about Hugo?-Not only the influence of the script "Perfect", but also not only the two films "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" The work once again emphasized the importance of screenwriters-many people have mentioned Ernst to Hugo, which Hugo did not expect. Mention of Ernst in the award-winning speech, Hugo only acted temporarily, but did not expect to achieve incredible results. This is the first time Hugo has personally felt Ernst’s influence on Hollywood-that irritability. , Lonely old man.

This is also the most ironic part of Vanity Fair. Honor, fame, and fame are the invisible and intangible things that can't bring any improvement to life after the spotlight disappears, but it makes countless people crazy about it, even chasing it at all costs. , In the end, the body has no long objects and is lonely.

At many moments in the night, Hugo would feel emptiness and confusion, then lowered his head and looked at the ground on which his feet were stepping. The solid feeling reminded him where he was~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Stand firmly, don't be taken away by this trend of fame and fortune, and go with the flow.

He raised his head and searched the surroundings, but Hugo did not see Leonardo. He probably hid in a corner, but I don’t know if Leonardo was avoiding the crowd or was caught in a corner. Alcohol and poison. Surrounded by Pins and women, Hugo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I saw Charlize-after stunning the audience tonight, Charlize has successfully stood out among the actresses of the "X Age", ahead of Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, and Nicole Kidd Man, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock and others were the first to be recognized by an Oscar statuette, which was a huge success for Charlize. So, she also became the focus of the audience tonight.

Originally, Charlize was very glamorous, but tonight's smiling face was even more attractive. It turned all sentient beings upside down between talking and laughing, causing many people to come forward and strike up a conversation.

Seeing Charlize surrounded by people, Hugo stepped forward involuntarily and walked toward Charlize. The two people were separated by half of the hall, and their eyes met unexpectedly in the air. Let the two people have such a moment of stunnedness, just looking at each other quietly, the laughter and noise quietly stopped in the ears, and the dazzling light made everything perfect and moving.
