Chapter 1127: 1127

Since United Artists was acquired by MGM in 1981, only seven of the eight major Hollywood studios have remained: MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, Twentieth Century Fox and Disney. , but many media put the New Line Film Company together to propose the "New Eight", believing that this is the new top crocodile ruling Hollywood.

The scripts submitted by Rick today include projects from four top companies: Paramount, Columbia, Universal and Disney. There is no doubt that Hugo is currently the most sought-after actor in Hollywood, except for the box office that major companies value the most. In addition to appeal, Hugo can control different roles with ease, which is one of the core reasons for the large number of scripts.

After Hugo's initial reading of the script came to the end, he saw another script from another top film company, New Line Cinema.

When it comes to New Line Cinema, the "Lord of the Rings" series, the "Rush. Hour" series, the "Austin. Powers" series, "The Death Comes" easily come to mind. (Final. Destination)" series and other excellent works. This independent distribution company, established in 1967, started out by distributing low-cost horror films, and then entered the production industry by producing low-cost horror films. In just ten years, it has grown into the most insightful and spiritual independent in the United States. one of the film companies. Before DreamWorks came along, New Line Cinema arguably stole all the limelight.

In 1993, Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Bros., acquired New Line Cinema, but still maintained its independent management rights and had no direct connection with Warner Bros. Therefore, a small number of media will treat New Line Film Company independently, making it one of the eight major film companies.

This situation continued until 2007, when New Line Cinema spent 180 million US dollars to create the epic fantasy masterpiece "The. Golden. Compass (The. Golden. Compass)", and invited James Bond, who was already on the new issue. Germany's Daniel - Craig (Daniel. Craig (Daniel. Craig) and finally the Oscar-winning actress Nicole - Kidman starred in, as a result, this work only got 26 million US dollars at the box office, among the most money-losing movies of all time. The ranks of the New Line Film Company directly encountered difficulties in capital turnover and almost went bankrupt.

Time Warner was very dissatisfied with this. After careful discussion, it decided to merge the New Line Film Company into Warner Bros. So far, the "New Line" brand that has been in Hollywood for 40 years no longer exists independently - every time it appears, it will bring Warner Bros. logo, and New Line Cinema has since become a production arm of Warner Bros.

Even so, Hollywood will always remember the brand of New Line Cinema, and they have left their mark on countless masterpieces. For example, last year's "Geek in Disguise" and "Dumb and Dumb" were produced and distributed by New Line. Well, let’s take another example of the script in Hugo’s hand at this time—“Se7en”.

"Seven Deadly Sins" is a work that occupies a considerable weight among the countless works in the long history of film. This work is regarded by countless people as one of the absolute masterpieces in Cult movies. It ranks among the 250th in IMDB Among them, it ranks as high as twenty-two, and has been sought after by countless fans.

At the same time, it was after the "Seven Deadly Sins" that the so-called "eight major" status of New Line Cinema was officially recognized. It was originally only a small part of the media shouting, but the great success of the "Seven Deadly Sins" made most of the media All agreed.

The film tells the story of a serial killer and two police detectives. The serial killer is well versed in classical literature and religious studies, and he has devised a set of methods to challenge the evil world: according to Western religions, arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, Greed, gluttony, sex. Lust is the seven deadly sins of mankind, so he finds a sacrifice for each sin, let them die in the form of this sin, and then completes his protest against the world.

The whole film not only discusses the deep real problems of society, but also touches on the profound issues between human nature, religious belief and moral sin. The simple main line of the story is advanced layer by layer and the fog is haunted, making people unable to breathe. The single-line flat and straightforward approach still amplifies the suspense infinitely. Every detail and every plot is worth savoring.

It can be said that this is an excellent work with both entertainment and commercial effects and reflective artistic effects. The discussion of society and religion in the story seems simple, but when you think about it seriously, it is full of aftertastes.

After the "Seven Deadly Sins" was born, it has been loved by countless audiences, and has also been repeatedly discussed and recollected by many fans. Relatively speaking, film critics' opinions on this work are quite divided. Those who like it highly praise it, and those who hate it abandon it. However, on the whole, the film critics still gave the director David Fincher a lot of praise. (David. Fincher) Certainly, when the time is right, we will witness the birth of the classic "Fight. Club" in film history.

David Fincher is a very typical Hollywood director: he started out as a music video director, and then turned into a TV or film director, so he worked his way out of the world.

David has directed music videos for Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and other big-name singers, and later became the music video director of Michael Jackson's "Journey to Danger" global tour. "Alien. 3" director, but unfortunately, David's debut was criticized for nothing, almost a fiasco. This is the death knell for a rookie director who has just transitioned from a music video director to the film industry.

If the major film companies give up like this, or if David just gives up like this, then people will miss the classic masterpieces such as "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club". After entering the 21st century, David still shoots Out of the "Thriller Space (Panic. Room)", "Benjamin - Button (The. Curious. Case. Of. Benjamin. Button)", "Social Network (The. Social. Network)" and other excellent works, and even In the field of TV dramas, he also handed over a masterpiece such as "House. Of. Cards", which has been praised by countless people.

It can be said that "Seven Deadly Sins" is the first work in which David's sharp style has gradually formed. Since then, in the editing style of "Fight Club" and "Social Network" and the texture of the shots, you can feel this kind of special David. sense of rhythm.

For fans, critics, and David himself, The Seven Deadly Sins is one of those absolute masterpieces to remember. If Hugo were asked to list his ten favorite movies of the 1990s - an apparently impossible task, he would rather give up "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Forrest Gump" than " The Seven Deadly Sins".

"The Seven Deadly Sins" is the only classic crime movie to go down in history, and it also saw the rise of two actors: Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey.

The cast of the movie can be called an iron triangle. In addition to Brad and Kevin, there is also the old actor Morgan Freeman. The roles played by these three actors have their own characteristics. The whole movie can be said to be unfolded between the three of them.

The young police detective played by Brad is energetic, impulsive and irritable, and the old police detective played by Morgan is calm, steady, witty and patient. This is the most typical image of a police detective. In addition to the contrast, the conflict and running-in between each other are also the driving force of the plot. important part. As an old actor, Morgan's performance is restrained and not sharp, but the temperament that the character blooms from the inside out makes silence also become a kind of acting skills, which is amazing; relatively speaking, Brad's performance is relatively Somewhat inferior.

In fact, Brad's role is very connotative. The inner changes hidden behind the impulses, the emotions are gradually promoted along with the changes of weather and events, and finally reach the peak, and break out completely after struggling. This gradual process of change Not obvious, but very rich. It's a pity that Brad's acting skills are a little rigid, and he can't interpret the essence of the role.

Brad's wild and outgoing performance in "Twelve Monkeys" brings out the character's neuroticism to the fullest, but this performance requires release rather than control, so Brad is well qualified. The role of "Seven Deadly Sins" needs to be carved and portrayed, and the lack of thickness of young Brad's acting skills is highlighted.

So when many people watch the movie, they always feel that the young police detective has no room for performance, but just feels the sex of Brad. It is charming and fascinated by countless female audiences.

But even so, after 1994, Brad dedicated two masterpieces, "The Twelve Monkeys" and "The Seven Deadly Sins" in 1995, which established his status as an idol of a generation. An iconic actor on a par with Tom Cruise.

Compared to Brad and Morgan's performances, "Seven Deadly Sins" is the real blockbuster is Kevin - Spacey.

Before that, Kevin, who has been playing tricks in major movies, gave an amazing performance in this film. The murderer he played was calm, wise, calm, and cruel, bloodthirsty, and maddening. Neuroticism is hidden in that Behind the calm, winning smile, people shudder. Almost every move is amazing. The difference between the surface and the heart of this character is not only huge and delicate, but also has almost harsh requirements for the actor's control, and Kevin's consummate performance pushes the character's charm to the peak. It is no exaggeration to say that at least one-third of the success of "The Seven Deadly Sins" should go to Kevin, and the other two-thirds to the script and David Fincher.

Kevin's performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins" amazed countless people, and in the same year he gave an even better performance in "The. Usual. Suspects", which earned him an Oscar for best. The Supporting Actor Award soared into the sky, and after that it was out of control.

It can be said that the film "Seven Deadly Sins" is absolutely second to none, whether it is the film as a whole or the performance space of the characters. This is almost the best script Hugo has seen since "Pulp Fiction". Schindler's List".

Therefore, when Hugo saw "Seven Deadly Sins", he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and even burst into cheers because he was too excited.
