Chapter 1766: 1766 Three Choices
Hugo really needs more time to think carefully.
The end of the "Storm" tour was a huge blow to Hugo, and strictly speaking, to all five members of the Deathly Glory five, the emptiness behind the cheering crowds and seething heat gone The sense of boredom and boredom after being away from the stage and practice is almost unbearable, and the intense loneliness completely swallows up all vitality.
From the extremely busy, extremely noisy, and extremely lively life, suddenly returning to the leisurely life of doing nothing, not only makes people feel at a loss, but also makes people almost collapse, as if all the vitality is left in the tour, and there is only one The empty shell of the body returns to everyday life like a walking corpse.
This huge gap came surging, making it impossible for people to resist.
As sensible as Neil, he even tried poison once. He completely indulged himself, and then Neil realized his terrible state the next day. He deeply realized that his situation had reached the edge of a cliff, and he must not be infected with the poison. The product made him enlightened.
Afterwards, Neil found Fokkin and Pedro, who were drunk, and Alfonso, who was hiding in the bathroom and refused to come out, trying to wake them up, only to find that Hugo had completely disappeared.
Hugo not only quietly left New York, but also did not greet anyone, nor did he bring his mobile phone or other contact information, as if he had evaporated from the air. This scared Neil and others to the point of having a heart attack. They asked Joseph, Zamora, Alexander, Henry and others, but almost no one knew where Hugo had gone.
After Cameron knew about it, he collapsed immediately, at a loss what to do. Neil couldn't blame Pedro for talking too much about Cameron, although in this way they had to devote their energy to taking care of Cameron.
However, Neil and the others had no idea where Hugo would go after leaving New York. Even Charlize, who was filming "The Devil's Advocate" in New York, was alarmed and asked the crew for a day off temporarily to meet everyone.
In the end, Charlize put forward a conjecture, "Will Hugo go to San Francisco?" The Sen couple took their daughter's body home for the funeral, only to realize that Charlize's idea is very reasonable, and it is the only plausible clue so far.
Holding this life-saving straw, Joseph called Rick who was far away in Los Angeles. Rick rushed to San Francisco that night and found Hugo who fell asleep in front of Sally's tombstone.
Rick didn't tell anyone the details of the day, and the others didn't ask too much considering Hugo's state. When Rick arrived at the scene, he saw Hugo curled up in a ball, sleeping next to the tombstone, his body was covered with dew, he was in a state of fever, shivering in the cold wind, his lips were already white , Sanity has been blurred. This almost terrified Rick and took Hugo to a nearby emergency room, where it took him a while to make sure he was fine.
Faced with such a situation, Hugo couldn't deal with the media at all, so the team members who died with glory quietly went to Long Beach to recuperate. Rick knew that the paparazzi would definitely not give up easily, so everyone, including Cameron and Joseph, stayed in Los Angeles instead of going to Long Beach. Although it is better for Hugo to have the company of friends, but recently, what Hugo needs is rest.
Not only Hugo, but also Neil and others. Even more frightening, Neil tried poison. Before the product, none of them noticed the abnormality, including Henry.
In fact, the end of the "Storm" tour is only part of the reason. Not long ago, Glory to Death's big win at the Grammy also made them a little at a loss. Although they still have the great dream of awakening the rock faith, they There is no way to start, because now they have stood at the pinnacle of their music career, reaching a height unattainable by their predecessors, and they have tried their best. Besides, what else can they do to revive their rock beliefs? At a loss, no one can give an answer.
Therefore, the end of the tour is just a motivation, which stimulates the daze after reaching the peak.
Fortunately, the members who died with glory woke up in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Although they are still confused at this time, at least they are no longer drunk.
After these two weeks of rest, Hugo finally came to his senses gradually, and the emptiness in his heart slowly calmed down. Although he still hadn't fully adapted to it, his normal daily life was gradually becoming more comfortable. Due to Hugo's special status, the originally scheduled meeting with the director of "Boogie Nights" had to be postponed, which gave Barry Meyer a break to breathe.
However, even Hugo must abide by certain rules in Hollywood-time does not wait for me. Once the opportunity is missed, no one wants to procrastinate and wait again and again, because business also needs to pay attention to timing. If the business opportunity is missed, then even the Hugo cash cow, they will not wait forever.
Of course, even if he missed the most recent opportunity, Hugo still has no worries about not having a script. However, encountering a suitable script has always required some luck, and encountering three excellent scripts at the same time is even more rare.
"L.A. Confidential" and "The Big Lebowski" needless to say. The excellence of the two scripts has been affirmed by Hugo. No matter which work they star in, it is exciting. But Hugo didn't expect that the script of "Boogie Nights" would appear in front of him. Or you can't see even one excellent script, and once it appears, three will come in one breath.
Hollywood is a circle where young talents emerge in endlessly. There are geniuses almost every year, but there are very few talents who can amaze the world and go down in history. Among the few talents who have withstood the test of time, Paul Thomas Anderson (Paul. Thomas. Anderson) is undoubtedly a leader.
The director born in 1970 is an absolute all-rounder, good at original scripts and adapted scripts. Almost every work of him is written by himself. As of the time Hugo knows, he has contributed a total of Six works, all of which can be called classics, "Magnolia", "Punch-Drunk. Love", "There Will Be Blood", "Master" and other works are all amazing , not only allowed Tom Cruise, Adam Sandler and others to win heavyweight acting nominations, but also made Daniel Day-Lewis the second Oscar winner. He won the three major awards in Europe at the age of only 42 A small slam honor for Best Director at the Film Festival Awards!
The most incredible thing is that Paul is also a super handsome guy, and he is dubbed "the most suitable director to be an actor". In addition to the director's debut "Hard. Eight" which is a little green, "Paul's production must be a masterpiece" has become a law. The name of genius is well deserved.
The work that really made Paul a blockbuster was "Boogie Night", which he shot when he was only 27 years old. This work shocked the entire film critics, amazed Paul's talent, and also amazed Paul's accurate grasp of the work. This "Boogie Nights" won three nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars that year. At the same time, it also allowed Julianne Moore to really start her sturdy acting career.
"Boogie Nights" is a very special work, which is about the United States. color. Affection. The story of karma, through a color. Affection. The actors used as the starting point to tell the various human conditions behind the industry. Intertwined characters and social clues formed an intricate network of relationships, vividly showing the eccentricities under the surface of that era, like an American 70, The social epic of the 1980s hides the magnificence and decline of an era behind the exquisite lens, with a profound aftertaste.
Strictly speaking, "Boogie Nights" is Paul's debut novel. Because of the previous filming of "Casino Vertical and Horizontal", he was only responsible for shooting the film, and then he was fired. He did not have any editing rights, and he was more like a photographer than a director. Therefore, Paul's personal talent is not seen at all in "Casino", and "Boogie Nights" is the first time.
After the film came out, almost every film critic was amazed. It was hard to imagine that a young man who was only 27 years old could skillfully control such a complicated film. Character sculpting ability, in-depth excavation of each character within a limited space.
When he was fledgling, Paul was known as a talented director with Robert Altman's ensemble style, Martin Scorsese's lens use, and Stanley Kubrick's stern atmosphere. Many people worried whether the talent he showed in "Boogie Nights" was short-lived, but fortunately, two years later, "Magnolia" once again amazed the world and became one of Paul's most outstanding works.
It is worth mentioning that Paul is also one of the directors who know how to use actors best. His excavation and shaping of characters follows the delicacy and depth of script creation, and is completely sculpted through the language of the lens. Under his lens, actors Like a fish in water, he can always get the most hearty performance, which can be seen from the affirmation of the awards-almost every one of his works has actors winning nominations related to acting.
The core of the script of "Boooo Nights" is similar to Martin's "Raging Bull". It tells the ups and downs and disillusionment of the American dream, and shows the ups and downs of society through the fate of small people. The grand overall view is the story. An infusion of incredible energy.
Purely from the perspective of the script, "Boogie Nights" and "LA Confidential" are top works on the same level. Although "The Lebowski" is slightly inferior, the gap is not that big, and it is still wonderful. It is definitely not an easy task to choose one of the three scripts.
