Superstar
Chapter 940: Hero complex
\"& What do people think of when they mention the deepest cultural imprint of American movies? For Hugo, it is the American dream and the heroic dream.
The shadow of these two factors can be seen in countless movies in the United States. An American dream has attracted countless people all over the world to yearn for that hot land. Even without a penniless, one can become a billionaire, and dreams of poverty can also be found to breed. The soil, the great love of countless ages, etc. These are all American dreams, which can be found in almost every movie.
The dream of heroes is even more so, not to mention that countless lone heroes save the world-including "\" is also the case, just talk about the comic heroes who later swept the box office and the hard work of sacrificing the ego in the underground to save The heroes behind the Big Me, from the.avengers, "Spiderman", "Iron Man (.man, "Thor (, to "Mission Impossible\" series, "\" series, "Die Hard" series, "Indiana Jones" series, etc., without exception.
As of 2014, the top three in the U.S. box office and the top three in the global box office remained the same, namely "Avatar", "Titanic\" and "". The champion and the second runner-up are about heroic dreams-although "Avengers\" is a large group of heroes, it is still a model of lonely heroes, while the second runner-up is about the American dream through and through.
Among the many heroic movies in Hollywood, there is a series of movies that has always occupied a very special position, that is, the "007\" series. James Bond is a spy from the British intelligence agency. It was created by Ian Fleming. 。) Swordsman’s novel characters, the handsome, passionate, witty, brave, and romantic James Bond has become a symbol. He and Sherlock Holmes are considered to be the three most important fictional characters in the long history.
James Bond, who has crossed the ocean from the other side of the Atlantic, has become the most representative hero in the North American film market. As of 2014, the "007\" series has shot a total of 23 movies and two In the side story, a total of six actors have played this famous agent before and after.
Sean Connery is the most widely recognized 007 in the world. He has established an insurmountable peak in the role of James Bond; Pierce Brosnan (.) has rejuvenated the once sluggish 007. It is also the most recognized 007 after the 1990s; Daniel-Craig (el.g) has injected a completely different color of advancing with the times into the lost vitality of 007. Although it is quite controversial, it is undeniable that he is in Before the end of the first decade, he saved the most handsome and most handsome in history, Sui's spy series.
"007\" is the world's longest-lasting film series with the most sequels, with more than 2 billion viewers in half a century and a total box office of more than 5 billion U.S. dollars. It is definitely one of the most influential film series in the world.
Among the six 007 actors, apart from George Lazenby (gee. Lazenby) who succeeded Sean Connery, all of them ushered in a new peak in their careers, which also made James Bond. This role has become an excellent opportunity that countless actors dream of.
Although James Bond is an absolute British in the original work, in fact, there are actors from all over the world who are shortlisted in the choice of actors. Hollywood superstar Gary Grant was the first candidate for the first 007, but it was a pity that Gary rejected it at the time. After this invitation, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Robert Redford and other superstars have all become candidates for the second 007.
Due to a copyright dispute, the "007\" series of movies are available. ll)\" After four years, no new work has been released, but at this time, it is clear that the copyright issue has been resolved, and the embarrassed MGM Film Company urgently needs a shot to regain its market share in North America. Obviously, "007\" is the most insurance, most effective, direct and reliable choice.
The former James Bond actor was Timothy Dulton (.). The Welsh actor injected some vicissitudes of life into 007, trying to show the character of this special agent, but unfortunately, he He resigned earlier this year because he did not want to be stereotyped by the audience.
This leaves MGM with a new problem: Who should play the new James Bond?
Thus, there was the first meeting of George Lucas; thus, there was today's dinner; thus, there was an invitation to Hugo.
MGM chose Hugo as the candidate for James Bond. In fact, this is a bit unexpected, because the previous actors were not considered popular in their careers before they appeared in 007, and they could only be regarded as second-line and third-line actors. This is also a consideration. They don't want actors to have a fixed image in the audience's mind, so that they can reshape the image of James Bond.
Hugo obviously does not meet this rule. And this year Hugo is not yet thirty years old, which is much younger than expected James Bond in the mid-thirties.
But thinking about it conversely, what MGM is in trouble now needs is the strong box office of the new film of "007\", what it needs is an unprecedented box office storm, and then launch a new series of "007", then what Hugo represents Box office appeal is very important.
The most important thing is that this is just a candidate and does not represent a real selection. There is absolutely no problem with Hugo getting a candidate qualification. But... Is Hugo willing to be this alternate? This is also a question that Rick and Joseph cannot answer.
Hugo laughed playfully after listening to Rick's brief explanation. To be honest, Bond is not only the most famous agent in history, but also a typical representative of the beauty of the car. It is estimated that every man is more or less envious of the life of James Bond and can become a candidate for this role. For Hugo, it is really interesting.
However, he did not answer directly for the first time, instead he was curious to ask another question, "This kind of dinner, logically, they should have been preparing for a long time, why are the invitations sent temporarily today? Isn't it too strange?" Hugo's mentality is indeed different now. Even if he learns that he has become a candidate for James Bond, he still has the mind to think about other issues and calmly and objectively see these famous characters or scripts.
Rick didn’t expect that Hugo’s focus was actually this. He was slightly taken aback, and then he laughed. "In fact, they have been very low-key. This invitation was not sent to us by MGM, but Spielber. Ge sent it over. He said that there happened to be a dinner tonight, a private gathering between friends, and asked if you were interested.\"
This sentence seems very meaningful. If it is a private party, then Steven Spielberg should call Hugo, but Steven neither called Hugo nor contacted Hugo. The manager, Joseph, instead called Rick. However, Steven made a temporary call today, as if the dinner party was not formal or grand. It was just an ordinary gathering of friends. To see if Hugo is free, he would drop by and drink a martini when he was free.
As expected, these old foxes spoke out quietly.
It is precisely because of this that Rick immediately conducted a behind-the-scenes investigation, and then learned that the host of the dinner was George Lucas, and then learned about MGM. Otherwise, on the surface, it looks like a private gathering between friends. Steven wants to introduce Hugo to George and let Hugo enter the top power crowd.
Hugo suddenly realized that the dialogue between these big brothers was too troublesome, and they had to go round and round about everything. Cameron, who was sitting next to him, obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of Hugo and Rick, and looked at a loss, but she understood one thing. Today's dinner was not that simple.
"I have no interest in James Bond." Hugo didn't hesitate, and just said it neatly.
Rick's answer to this can be regarded as unexpected, but it is reasonable, "Because you don't want to be stereotyped by a character?" If you play James Bond, you will at least sign two or three movies, and the span of time is very likely. It will last for five or six years.
"No, no, I don't think so." Hugo said with a chuckle. In fact, there is room for the role of this series of movies. The most important thing is to look at the interpretation of the actors. The simplest example is "Pirates of the Caribbean In the "series, Johnny Depp endows Captain Jack Sparrow with infinite charm, as well as works such as "", "Iron Man", "Indiana Jones", "Although I don't Denial, part of the reason is this, but not the most important. \"
"I personally feel that I am not suitable for Bond. Firstly, my temperament is not suitable, and secondly my age is not suitable." Hugo said honestly, "And I just starred in'" There is not much interest in being a hero again in the short term, you should let me try a vampire. \"
Rick was amused by Hugo's teasing, "I must say I am disappointed, you know, if you are willing to play James Bond, I don't have to worry about my wallet in a short time~www.wuxiaspot.com~Rick It also answered honestly, making Hugo laugh.
In fact, Hugo is very interested in spy and secret agent movies. This type of movie is a very special category of business, but the time is wrong. From an objective point of view, Hugo has just played the classic grassroots hero image in "\", and in a short time he has transformed into the image of an elegant gentleman like James Bond, which is indeed not suitable, even if Hugo's acting skills are outstanding, It is estimated that it will be difficult for the audience to adapt for a while.
Hugo can feel Rick's disappointment. Although Rick has always respected his opinions, Rick obviously has many concerns about Hugo's next work.
"But I will attend today's dinner." Hugo changed the subject and said, which suddenly made Rick's eyes light up. (To be continued)——
