Superstar

\"&　　"No, I don’t think this is an excellent script. "Ernst only read the first five pages and said directly. This surprised Hugo. He thought that Ernst would have to read more to make a judgment.

"Why?" Hugo naturally raised his own question.

Although Ernst said he didn't like the script, he still held the script and didn't put it down. He rubbed the paper of the script with his right hand, patrolling back and forth between the lines. With just this detail, Hugo can see that Ernst still likes the work of screenwriters, and it can even be said that he loves, but it is a pity that he has been in Hollywood for fifteen years, but he gradually started to work with screenwriters. Going away.

"You know, an excellent script, either tells the story or tells the characters. It is not easy to take both the story and the characters into account at the same time." Ernst looked at the script in his hand and said softly, that The hoarse and old voice seemed to bring time back in, "Do you know why Steven ran for Schindler's script for ten years? Because he wants to tell the story well and the characters well."

Ernst raised his head, straightened his back, and looked at the bookcase on the whole side of the wall. There was a look of remembrance in his eyes. This was the first time Hugo saw the concentration on Ernst’s face. And the light of excitement seemed to bring him back to his youth in an instant, “Schindler’s story is too large and too deep. How to tell this story well, in addition to following the timeline, You must follow the story line. In those long years, what kind of story should be extracted? First, you need to choose according to the core of the story you want to show, and then choose according to your own conception and setting of the characters, and so on. After the story is selected, it is connected according to the time, and finally the details are filled according to the theme and thought needs, and the whole story can be completed."

Having said this, Ernst stood up with interest, put the script in his hand on the coffee table, walked to the bookshelf, searched for it, then pulled out a script, stood next to it and read it with his face Said with a small smile, "But in the process of writing a script, the screenwriter often has confusion of ideas, or is too ambitious, otherwise it is not thoughtful enough, and the story presented is not complete. Therefore, Schindler The script was revised for ten years."

Ernst walked over again with the script and placed it on the coffee table in front of Hugo. "This script is a work that I have always admired. It can be said to condense all the fantasies of a screenwriter for the story. With the passage of time, there are changes in the growth of characters, traces of social changes, and explanations of cultural phenomena. The whole story is like gurgling water, and the characters in the story complement each other with the event. Each character is As an independent individual, every character has an inevitable connection with the occurrence of the event, and after the occurrence of the event, the characters have a profound aftertaste."

Hugo looked down at the script, which was actually "American Past"! It was actually the "American Past" that was ignored by Oscar, criticized by film critics, and rejected by mainstream media! It was rehabilitated after many years, and it is generally considered to be. The greatest failure of "America's Past" in Hollywood history!

"Look, this kind of script is worthy of careful taste and repeated study." Ernst picked up the "Apollo l3" script and turned over to the last part, and started reading again, but his mouth was He murmured intermittently, "Strictly speaking, Schindler’s story still lacks a flamboyant moment. The whole story’s transition, character changes, and war background changes are still not closely related to each other. It is just under the director’s schedule. Next, the excellent performance of the actors concealed these regrets."

From an objective point of view, Hugo must also agree that the script of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is more rounded and more delicate than the script of "Schindler's List". Of course, these two scripts are outstanding classics, and the art is no better. The points are just some sighs against the script.

After speaking, Ernst was silent for a while, apparently studying the end of the "Apollo l3" script. Hugo did not disturb him either, just sat quietly.

Ernst seemed to have forgotten that Hugo was sitting there, immersed in his own world, and then muttered to himself, "This script, as a whole, seems to be superfluous, irritating, and very emotional. But the problem is that the whole story is flat and straightforward, there is no technique or tricks, and the sculptures of emotions are all focused on the depiction of patriotism, and the personalities of several characters are obviously lacking in pen and ink. Such a story..."

As Ernst was talking, the voice disappeared again. After flipping through two pages again, he raised his head, and then he noticed Hugo sitting next to him, and started again, "Such a script can be called It’s pretty good. The college would like it very much. Maybe it’s not a problem to get a nomination, but the main credit is in the story itself, and you can’t see the skill of the screenwriter. The story is well told, and more than 80% of Hollywood screenwriters can do this. Degree; and the lack of character sculpture makes the film lose the possibility of further improvement."

Hearing Ernst's comment, Hugo couldn't help but want to laugh, because such a script and Ron Howard's directorial style are a perfect combination. Simply put, it is traditional academic, without too many surprises.

In fact, there are many works of this type in the history of Oscars. The most famous one after the 21st century is "The King's Speech (the., s.. This story is stable and well-regulated, and it is not at all visible. With the skill of screenwriting and director, the brilliant performance of the actor Colin-Fiss (.) is worthy of a golden man, but the best picture and best director are definitely not worthy of the name.

Therefore, Oscars only represent a type of aesthetic point of view, and there are countless classics that have not won the Oscars or even the Oscar nominations in history.

Ernst's comment on "Apollo l3" couldn't be more accurate. The two screenwriters of this work William Bowers (...jr.) and Al Yunnett (a1.) won. After the Oscar nomination, there was not much outstanding performance. William Jr. appeared in "cast.away", "infidelity (, "flags.of.our.fathers", etc. He is on the list of screenwriters of the works, but he is not the chief writer.

"Don't tell me you want to act in such a work." Ernst still didn't put down the script of "Apollo l3", but reluctantly flipped it, "You are not in the stage of constantly breaking through yourself now. Does it sound too bad to choose such a conservative and lacklustre work."

Hugo chuckled slightly, "I originally wanted to ask your opinion to see if I could add some details to give more space to the main characters, but..." Hugo shrugged, "I miss you Already gave me the answer."

Ernst seemed to have not heard the last half of Hugo's words, with a disgusting expression on his face, "If such a conservative script is to be revised, it is better to rewrite it, otherwise it will only become a nondescript monster. It's a good script, but it will be ruined in the end." At this point, Ernst curled his lips. "In this way, at least the screenwriter of this script is self-aware and not too greedy. This is also commendable."

Seeing Ernst sitting there talking and talking, Hugo found it amazing. He and Ernst had actually talked several times, but they had never seen Ernst so focused, so dedicated... so passionate. The most important thing is that Ernst never got angry, even with some cheerful expressions.

Just as Hugo was thinking, Ernst took the initiative to speak again, "Maybe you can go and see the script of'Forrest Gump', which is also the script of this academic theme,'Forrest Gump'. The story is told more smoothly than'Apollo l3'. Although the character depiction is slightly monotonous, at least the image is vivid and detailed enough."

Faced with Ernst’s active conversation, Hugo laughed blankly, “Hey, Ernst, I have no plans to write a script, I just want to see if there is any improvement in the script in your hand.”

"Why can't you write a script!" Obviously it is an interrogative sentence, but Ernst glaredly turned into a questioning sentence. "A screenwriter is like an actor. This is a profession without barriers. As long as you are willing to tell a story, you can You can become a screenwriter." At this point, Ernst showed a look of contempt on his face. "Of course, not everyone can succeed. It is not so easy to become an excellent screenwriter. How to make a good one Story, how to tell a story more vividly, this is a knowledge."

Ernst looked at the helpless smile on Hugo's face, and he was clearly dealing with himself, and his anger jumped up, "Why do you want to revise the script? Why do you want to make the character fuller? It shows that you are also aware that there are similarities between actors and screenwriters~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Some changes in the details of the script are helpful for actors to shape their roles, and actors can also perform stereoscopic interpretations of roles. Inspire screenwriters. Of course, this does not mean that an actor can be a screenwriter, but at least an actor should be an excellent script reader. You can't deny this!"

Ernst’s words caught Hugo’s attention and caused Hugo’s thinking, and Ernst went on to say, “You can feel the lack of character description in the script, and you can also realize some small details. Changes can make the story more complete. From this perspective, you have the talent to become a screenwriter."

After Ernst finished speaking, he glared at Hugo angrily, but then he realized that he seemed a little overreacted, because Hugo didn’t say anything at all. Hugo was completely innocent with a gun, which made Ernst a little embarrassed. After hesitating twice, his voice gurgled around in his throat, "Of course, first of all, you are an excellent actor. Perhaps your keen sense of acting has given you a certain ability in storytelling. I mean, maybe you have this kind of talent, and there is nothing wrong with trying something new."

Ernst tried to find a reasonable explanation for his actions just now, but in Hugo's ears, it derives a different meaning. (To be continued.
