"Rick, what did you say about the project that David asked you to talk about?" Hugo suddenly became curious. What was the project that allowed David Geffen to come and talk with Rick so solemnly. , Or in other words, what is the project that can be a good start for the cooperation between DreamWorks and Hugo?

When Rick heard this question, he couldn't help but was stunned. "What?" Then he reacted and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to take the script for the time being, so I'm still considering it. Leave that project to you."

Hugo chuckled slightly, "It's just curiosity. Curious about what kind of project is, David actually started planning two months ago, but he never mentioned it to me officially."

Rick suddenly realized, "In fact, this is not surprising. I don't think David himself has a clear candidate. He contacts you, even if it is not for my unfounded guess," Rick blinked himself mockingly. Blinking his eyes made Hugo and Joseph both laugh.

"He probably wants to see for himself whether you are suitable for that role. In fact, after I talked to David last time, he didn't contact him anymore, but today he watched the draft with you again, I guess, He should be looking at the performance of "Life and Death Speed" after it was released. After all, he offered 15 million dollars in remuneration and box office dividends, just to be able to be worth the money."

Now the conversations of a few of them sitting here are all just conjectures. Even if Hugo knew that DreamWorks was about to be established, he couldn’t be sure. What Rick had guessed was the truth. Maybe Steven and David were simply willing to be friends with Hugo. After all, they were the bosses, and Yu If it's just an artist who has recently risen strongly-the future is still unclear, maybe a "Life and Death" will return to the original point after a fiasco.

Therefore, every time he mentioned David's thoughts, Rick seemed a little hesitant. After all, he was not the roundworm in David's stomach, and there was no way to accurately guess.

But Hugo has a different perspective. In the past two years, he has actually missed many classic scripts, but he has lost his horse and knows nothing. At least Hugo can put "Schindler's List" and "Pulp Fiction". The works of "Life and Death Hour" are already a huge victory in hand. Therefore, Hugo now faces those classic scripts with a sense of peace. If he desires, he will try his best to fight for it. If he tries his best, he still misses it. There is no regret.

"Listen to you, David is very cautious about this project. Besides Hugo, who else is the subject of investigation?" Joseph's thoughts are very similar to those of Hugo. He also noticed David's from Rick's words. Seriously-although everything is just their speculation.

"At first it was Daniel Day-Lewis, but he refused; later he planned to let Sting () come to play..." Rick obviously also has a deep understanding of this project, but yesterday he didn't rashly and Hugo Speaking of this project, he insisted on his original idea: Recently, Hugo was allowed to focus on the tour, and not long after the "speed of life and death" was completed, the pace of Hugo's filming could be slowed down slightly. .

From this small detail, you can see that Rick's style as an agent.

"Sting? You mean the police. The lead singer of the Cha band ()?" Hugo interrupted Rick quite unexpectedly. Rick nodded naturally, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Although Sting was born in a rock band, because of his masculine and handsome appearance, he also has guest appearances in many movies, such as "Sulphur Stone and Honey (, "Artificial Bride (the. and other movies. Can also be regarded as the protagonist.

Hugo chuckled, "No, he and I worked together once in Dune. I was just a little surprised. David was actually interested in Sting." Sting is an excellent singer, but Can't be regarded as an outstanding actor. "First Daniel, then Sting, this is indeed a big gap." Daniel is currently recognized as an acting genius, but Sting is not as amazing as his musical talent in acting.

Rick shrugged, "That's because their appearance and temperament have a special charm. This is a vampire movie. In David's eyes, they all have the vampire temperament. "

"Vampire movie?" Joseph said unexpectedly, and Hugo, who was sitting next to him, also showed a surprised expression.

There are so many types of Hollywood movies, which is why American movies can compete with movies throughout Europe—and even have the upper hand. Among the movie categories, vampire movies are a very unpopular one. It can be planned under the banner of fantasy and horror, but it is a very small cult movie.

People generally regard the 1922 German film "Nosferatu (...des.grauens as the world's first vampire film. It was still in the silent film era, and the famous director f. w. Murnau (f.w. murnau) ignored the objections of the widow of the original author of "Dracula (, Bram Stoker (bram.), and insisted on adapting the novel to the big screen in order to avoid copyright. Troubled, Mornau also changed the name of the movie to "Nosfaratu".

This movie has also become a great classic in the history of the silver screen. Since then, a vampire Count named Dracula has become one of the most classic characters in the movie.

Vampire movies ushered in their peak period in the 1960s and 1970s. During this period of time, you can see "Dracula" almost every year, and works that can be called famous and classic. There are endless emergence, pushing Dracula's image into the classic ranks and becoming synonymous with vampires.

Prosperity is bound to decline. After entering the 1980s, vampire movies almost disappeared from the big screen. Even the "Four Hundred Years of Vampire Fright" filmed by Francis Ford Coppola and the formidable Cast, the word-of-mouth and box office Not satisfactory, "The story is a good story, but the script is not a good one." Such comments also made the hard performances of a group of powerful actors buried in pale makeup and special effects.

"The Four Hundred Years of Vampires" invested 40 million U.S. dollars and gathered big-name actors such as Gary Oldman, Winona Reid, Anthony Hopkins, etc., and finally only earned 80 million U.S. dollars in North America. At the box office, but the world still relies on Coppola’s 215 million box office revenue, which avoids the loss of Columbia Pictures.

But even so, the entire public opinion still believes that the market potential of the vampire theme has been exhausted, and it is difficult for the story itself to deduce a new charm. Hollywood currently generally believes that this is an abandoned theme. Even if you want to remake, you have to wait fifteen years later-Hollywood generally believes that twenty years is a cycle, that is to say, after a subject reaches its peak and begins to decline, it will take twenty years to reproduce its glory.

Therefore, when Rick mentioned that it was a vampire movie, Joseph couldn't help being a little surprised, and Hugo was surprised because there was an answer in his mind.

But Rick didn't think so much. He still smiled and said, "David has put so much effort into this project. He won't be happy to see your reaction like this." This is how Rick is joking. Since Wei decided to invest in a vampire movie, he himself is an authority figure in the movie circle. He naturally understands the risks of this subject matter and understands the pressure of public opinion that must be endured to make such a movie.

Rick’s words made Joseph chuckle, and then he listened to Rick continuing to say, “Sting was also excluded because of his lack of acting skills, and later he chose Johnny Depp. I’ve heard the news. That is to say, Johnny was very close to this role for a time, but the result was still a failure."

"This is a gloomy and evil character?" Joseph's first reaction was like this. From Daniel to Johnny, in fact, they all carry a special temperament, and their acting skills have also withstood many tests. That's why Joseph came to this conclusion.

Rick spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "I'm not sure, because later David had an in-depth conversation with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Hugo."

As soon as this word came out, Joseph was stunned. Strictly speaking, the temperaments of Tom, Brad and Hugo are more sunny and handsome, and they are a group of actors who are quite different from Daniel and Johnny. But after subdividing, Tom’s temperament will be more niche, Brad will be tougher, and Hugo will have a more refined gentleman feeling.

"What kind of actor is David looking for?" Joseph felt a little confused.

Rick smiled bitterly, "This is also our question. David is always thinking about it. However, as I heard the news recently, David plans to choose among these three actors, and he is considering it."

"What other candidates are there?" Joseph wanted to figure out a sign from it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then asked.

"Well, Antonio Banderas, the former River Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alexander Lorraine, Ralph Fiennes, Robert Downey Jr....and A newcomer named George Clooney." Rick simply counted, then shrugged, as if to say: There is no clear thought at all, is there?

Joseph can only be dumbfounded. These alternate actors have no regularity at all. "But... Hugo is the best acting and most malleable among these actors, right?"

"That's why I had those speculations just now." Rick nodded in agreement, and after speaking, he looked at Hugo. Only then did Rick and Joseph realize that Hugo had been silent for a while, and Rick couldn't help but speak. Asked, "Hugo, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?"

Hugo came back to his senses, "No, it's okay, what is the name of this project?"

"Uh... "Night Interview with Vampire".". If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Kazakhstan to read it and vote for a monthly pass for the work. Your support is the biggest motivation for me to continue to create! )
