Chapter 1767 Chapter 1767

Lying on the rattan chair in the garden, the sun is lazily falling on the eyelids, the sea breeze is rustling in the ears, and there is a fragrance of sea water mixed with the dryness of the grass in the air. Lingering among the blooming wisteria flowers, it seems that time has slowed down in the fine sand under the feet.

"Misunderstanding and shattering dreams all day long, I suddenly heard that spring was trying my best to climb the mountain. Because I met monks in the bamboo courtyard, I stole half a day's leisure in floating life."

Hugo fell into a dream in a daze like this. The muscles that had been tense for a while were gradually relaxed. He only felt that the warm halo surrounded him, and his tense nerves relaxed instantly. Come.

The sound of "sand rustling" swayed slightly in the breeze, making it unclear whether it was the sound of the waves hitting the beach or the sound of the breeze blowing on the grass. Hugo opened his hazy eyes, and the dazzling light slanted into them. He couldn't help but close his eyes again, raised his right hand to try to cover his eyes, only to find that the books on his chest had fallen to the ground, and there was a "pop" "Click" sound.

"Are you awake?" Sea Breeze sent a lazy voice.

Hugo sat up directly, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and asked in a muffled voice, "What time is it?"

"It's almost four o'clock."

"Oh, God." Hugo rubbed his temples angrily, "I actually slept for three hours."

"If the screenwriter knows that his script actually made you fall asleep, should he feel happy or depressed?" These words made Hugo look up, and then he saw the playful expression on Fu Jin's face, which made Hugo He froze for a moment, then laughed.

Just now Hugo planned to come over and read the script carefully, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep directly. However, Hugo's sleep quality has not been very good recently, but the nap just now made him really relax. Even though it was only three hours, he felt refreshed at this time.

"Fujin, hey, hurry up, your speed is so slow, the waves will come in a while." Pedro's shout came from behind, and then he was seen trotting all the way over, " Hey, Hugo!" Pedro had already put on all the surfing equipment, his hair was still dripping with water, and he looked excited, "How about it, do you want to come together?"

After arriving in Long Beach, the band members are trying some outdoor activities to enrich their spare time and divert their attention by the way. So far, the results are pretty good. Hugo and the others have tried surfing. Fokkin and Pedro are the best, and now they go into the water almost every day. Alfonso likes to play sea motorcycles the most. Neil and Hugo are not very good. Going to the beach is also going to swim.

"Neil is also going to go into the water today, but he has all his equipment at home, so he will come over soon." Pedro happily extended the invitation. Since Hugo's house is right next to the beach, they put all their surfing equipment here, but Neil gave up after playing twice, and his equipment was left at home to gather dust.

Hugo shook his head, bent down to pick up the script on the ground, and shook it towards Pedro, "No, Joe and the others are still waiting for my reply."

"If you feel bored, you are welcome to come anytime." After finishing speaking, Pedro turned around and ran away without waiting for Hugo to say hello.

Fokkin explained, "He has an appointment with two ladies today." Hugo immediately understood why Pedro was so excited, and couldn't help laughing. Immediately, Fu Jin also carried the surfboard and walked towards the beach. When he reached the exit of the garden, he paused and turned back to Hugo and shouted, "If you can't decide, just let it go, anyway, you don't want to." urgent."

Hugo smiled and nodded, watching Fu Jin leave.

During the last two weeks of recuperation, Hugo's condition is gradually returning to normal, but further adjustments are still needed. Although he knew that the three scripts in his hand were excellent and all were rare opportunities, it was still difficult for Hugo to concentrate for a long time, and often after thirty minutes or three quarters of an hour, his mind would start to wander.

It is estimated that Hugo himself would not have expected such a situation after the tour. Fortunately, it was rare to enter a state of deep sleep just now. At this time, the mental state of the whole person has recovered a lot, let out a long breath, and started to read the script again.

The three scripts of "LA Confidential", "Boogie Nights" and "Murder Lebowski" each have their own strengths and are not comparable.

"LA Confidential" is considered an atypical commercial film. As a commercial film, the story is too heavy and the flaws in the climax make it difficult for the film to open up at the box office. However, the meticulous storyline and excellent rhythm control, but Let the script become full and rich, and the three main characters are even more charming, colliding with amazing sparks.

It's easy to think of Christopher Nolan's later directed Batman series of movies. He gave superhero movies a new life, injecting contradictions such as "justice and evil, trial and revenge" on top of the simple storyline. The confrontation of ideas, and the implementation of Batman's growth, make the weak hero image plump and three-dimensional. In the end, with the powerful visual effects and exciting plot settings of the super blockbuster, it created a miracle of superhero movie reputation and box office.

From a certain perspective, "LA Confidential" also injects more thinking space into commercial films, about the opposition between black and white, about the blurring of gray areas, about money and power, and desire. The collision between hope and evil, justice and revenge makes the story break away from a purely commercial story and is thought-provoking.

But the biggest flaw of "LA Confidential" is that it doesn't have the hot scenes of Christopher's "Batman Prequel" series. It feels like the finishing touch is not strong enough.

"Boogie Nights" can be said to be a social epic, through color. Affection. The perspective of the industry reflects the social changes in the 1970s and 1980s, and mocks the focus effect of the entertainment industry and the principle of liking the new and disliking the old. It arouses people's thinking about fame, fortune, success, and life . Behind the glamorous glitz is a chilling corruption.

The reason why this film was praised by film critics is not without reason. Leaving aside the talent injected into the film by director Paul, starting from the script alone, the story grasps a simple main line, but relies on multiple intricate branches. The group portraits epitomize an entire era, not only reminiscent of "Raging Bull," but also comparable to "Pulp Fiction."

Of course, the greatest success of "Boogie Nights" still comes from the director. Paul Thomas Anderson gave the film a strange tone, saturated but with a kind of darkness, and covered with a layer of psychedelic haze, as if suck. The world I saw after being poisoned can be said to inject special vitality into the movie in every way.

"Murder Lebbian" is an unconventional black comedy that can be called evil. Classic, crazy and absurd humor style, bizarre character settings, complex twists and turns, confusing plots, tense and lively rhythm, combined with the exaggerated but memorable performances of the protagonists, dedicate a well-cooked American black humor.

Although many people say that "Murder Lebbis Lebowski" is not the most Coen Brothers movie, in fact, the biting and self-deprecating black humor integrated in the movie is precisely one of the Coen Brothers' best stunts. In this movie, all kinds of whimsical details have become the biggest highlight of the story, and the narrative method of using characters to promote the plot is currently the only one of the three scripts in Hugo's hands.

"LA Confidential" is the satirical reality of Los Angeles in the 1950s, and "Boogie Nights" is the color of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Affection. Based on the ups and downs of the industry, "Murder Lebsythe" is a dark comedy set in Los Angeles in the sixties.

Interestingly, these three stories are all set in Los Angeles, and the time backgrounds of the stories are also similar and different. Even "Murder Lebbis Lebowski", which does not clearly mention the background of the times, mentioned the influence of the times in many details of the script. This is also the background information that the Coen Brothers paid attention to during the filming process.

According to Hugo's interest direction, he has always been interested in comedy, and "Murder Big Lebowski" is a real comedy, which is undoubtedly the most suitable choice; The color described in Boogie Nights. Affection. The professional story has strong curiosity, and the absurd and exaggerated character setting is also very attractive; but if the decision is made according to the absolute quality of the script, then "LA Confidential" will undoubtedly be the final winner, whether it is character setting or plot. Design, including the depth of the story, this script is the most convincing.

When it comes to directors, the Coen brothers of "Murder Lebowski" are undoubtedly the first choice. Hugo and the Coen brothers also have a very good friendship, not to mention working with them is also one of Hugo's wishes; Paul Thomas Anderson is definitely Rain Hugo is one of the directors he most hopes to work with, not only because of his talent, but also because of his understanding of roles and performances, which made Hugo full of interest; as for Curtis Hansen of "LA Confidential", although his strength Slightly inferior, but the control he showed in this movie is also commendable.

Purely from the perspective of the script, these three scripts are indeed on par. Choosing any one will not make a mistake, nor will it fail. Choosing one of them means missing the other two, which is a pity in itself. matter; then... Maybe Hugo should choose from the perspective of performance, starting from the role, thinking about the way of performance, and see which role is the most worth exploring, which role is the most interesting, and which role is the most challenging?

But the problem is that Hugo's state is still not stable recently, and he is not sure whether he can sort out his thinking and make the right choice. Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. It seems that the dazed state of mind has affected Hugo's judgment on the future development direction of the actor's career.
