Chapter 204: 204
In the long river of movies, there are always some works that can be remembered for a long time, whether you have seen it or not, whether you like it or not, but at least the reputation has been heard, such as "Citizen. Kane" )", such as "Gone with the Wind", such as "The. Shawshank. Redemption", such as "The Godfather", such as "Forrest. Gump", and among these works "Schindler's List" is also one of them.
"Schindler's List" truly reflects the historical story of German entrepreneur Oskar Schindler's protection of 1,200 Jews from fascists during World War II. This work is known as Steven - One of the most important films of Spielberg's directorial career.
Before "Schindler's List" came out, Steven was better known as a successful commercial director, "Jaws", "Raiders. Of. The. Lose." The box-office success of films such as Ark) and Jurassic Park has put Steven among the top directors, but many professional critics have long criticized Steven's work for lack of artistry. The emergence of "Schindler's List" changed this situation.
"Schindler's List" is considered to be a self-transformation of Steven's artistry. It not only won the Oscar for best picture, best director and many other golden statuettes, but also achieved great success at the box office. More importantly, as a Jew, Steven presented the Jewish Holocaust, which is still shocking in history, in the most authentic and unforgettable way.
Although there are many films reflecting the Jewish massacres during World War II, including "La. Vita. Bella" and "The Pianist", which were later talked about by people, "Schindler's The List" remains the most influential of them all.
Hugo has enjoyed the work "Schindler's List" many times, and each time he sees it, he will have a different feeling, although it is undeniable that Steven's portrayal of the hero Schindler is a little too hard, American style. The heroism of the film is infinitely magnified in this story, which is slightly deliberate, but the art and connotation of the story are undeniable, and it is definitely a very important work in film history. The word "classic", "Schindler's List" is well-deserved.
Hugo likes this movie, not only for the deep meaning and connotation in it, but also for the strong emotions that Steven pours into the characters. The protagonists, supporting roles, and tricks in the story are the epitome of the times. It condenses all the humanity under the background of that era.
Hugo has always believed that this is the charm of movies, just like music, it carries people's emotions. Comedy films bring joy, action films bring excitement, romance films bring romance... Whether it's a commercial movie or an art movie, whether it's a popcorn movie or a blood plasma movie, whether it's a highbrow movie or a lowbrow movie, In fact, all have their existence value, and a movie that can reflect the audience's emotions is a good movie.
Many people have been advocating the artistry of movies, thinking that "content" is the core idea of a movie, only the "Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather", "Forrest Gump", "The Lord of the Rings", "Sinde" Movies like "Le's List" are good movies, but in fact, as an artistic method, movies also come from life, and the connotation of life is not only warning the world, meaningful, but also various other The wisdom of life and trivial emotions, there is no need to let the film carry so many heavy responsibilities.
Some movies are indeed worth thinking over, and some movies are successful when Bo Jun smiles. It's that simple.
Therefore, Hugo likes the film "Schindler's List" very much, because it not only can arouse people's deep thinking, but also the surging emotions are deeply memorable. In addition to the leading actor Oscar Schindler, the film also created many memorable characters, such as Nazi officer Amon Goss, Jewish accountant Itzhak Stein, etc. Characters such as the girl in clothes and the Jewish maid also left a deep impression.
When it was learned that the project that Tracey and Lang were striving for was "Schindler's List", the impact on Hugo was unprecedented.
Hugo has now completely accepted the fact that he was in 1992, but more often Hugo is still working hard step by step, without making too many delusions about the future, nor describing the future. A grand blueprint. But today, "Schindler's List" actually appeared in front of Hugo without warning, making Hugo realize that he was living in the most brilliant 1990s in Hollywood movies, and the 1994 that gave birth to countless classics Right in front of his eyes, he can not only live through this era, but he also becomes one of them as an actor.
There are countless classic movies born in 1994, "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Interview with the Vampire", "Pulp Fiction (Pulp. Fiction)", "This Killer Is Not Too Cold (Leon)", "The Lion" King (The. Lion. King)", "True Lies (True. Lies)", "Four. Weddings. And. A. Funeral (Four. Weddings. And. A. Funeral)", "The Burning Years", "The Disguised Monster" "The. Mask", "Speed", "Natural. Born. Killers"... This long list of classic films graces this year with star-studded stardom.
And now, Hugo is standing on the last day before 1993, listening to the "Schindler's List" close at hand, this feeling makes Hugo bloody!
Hugo exuded an "I'm very excited" breath all over his body, not to mention Joseph, even Rick saw it at a glance, which made Rick a little puzzled: Hugo just heard the name of the movie So excited, did Hugo read the original novel - this script was adapted from a true story, and the source of the story was the survivors who were rescued by Oscar Schindler. The novel was published as early as 1982, So it's no surprise that Hugo saw it.
"What, are you interested?" Rick looked at Hugo curiously and asked with a smile.
Hugo shouted excitedly in his heart: Yes! I am interested! To be able to become a part of the classic masterpiece in memory is undoubtedly a huge attraction for Hugo, which seems to be a fatal lure. Confused, there is no way for Hugo to say "no" at all. Just like when he learned that he could work with Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson, Hugo felt that his hands were shaking slightly.
This feeling made Hugo's amber eyes twinkle with sparkling light, full of anticipation. Joseph, who was standing next to him, saw Hugo's expression, but his heart sank even more: If Hugo really wants to be a part of this project, then it is the agent's responsibility to fulfill his wish. However, judging from the current situation, I have no ability, so Lang is the best choice. This left Joseph frustrated and disappointed.
Although Hugo was extremely excited at this time, the lure of a classic masterpiece. The temptation was like the dazzling sun attracting him to keep moving forward, and it was not easy to say "no" to "Schindler's List"; but Hugo calmed down after all, he knew that he and "" Schindler's List" is estimated to be missed.
If you want to rely on Joseph's own ability to approach the "Schindler's List" project, it must be difficult to reach the sky because Joseph himself is a rookie, so Lang and Tracy are the best choices and the most direct choice, but this choice also looks thorny.
Although Lang and Tracy are still working hard to become a member of the "Schindler's List" project, they do not have any decision-making power yet; but Hugo knows that Tracy is absolutely unwilling to join himself, and The conditions proposed by Lang are even more ridiculous: choosing him is equivalent to getting the stepping stone of this project - the result is still unpredictable, but for an unknown result, the price Hugo has to pay is to betray Joseph.
Of course, in the brokerage circle, they will not use the word "betrayal". First, Hugo was not brought out by Joseph alone, and Lang was the person who introduced Hugo; secondly, the choice of strong alliance is a social reality and human affection. As thin as paper is not surprising.
But Hugo couldn't have done that. If leaving Joseph in order to star in "Schindler's List" is a betrayal in Hugo's view, then what is the difference between his behavior and Lang throwing him to Joseph? Opportunities like "Schindler's List" will always appear in the future. Does it mean that every time an agent cannot help him reach a cooperation, he must change an agent? Does it mean that every classic film Hugo has to be mixed in? None of this is possible.
What's more, Hugo knew that after the Golden Raspberry Award, if there was no Joseph, it would be impossible for him to persist until the opportunity to "smell the fragrance and know a woman" came. In the past year, maybe Joseph did not help in the eyes of others. How busy, but Hugo himself knew that Joseph's help was a big part of it.
Hugo himself started from scratch and continued to move forward on the road of actor step by step; the same is true for Joseph, Hugo does not think he is qualified to criticize Joseph for not having enough connections and resources. On the contrary, Hugo is more willing to work hard with Joseph and miss "Schindler's List" and may usher in another masterpiece, who knows?
Thoughts were surging in his mind, but Hugo still made his choice. If he had to choose between a classic movie project and a close friend, Hugo would choose the latter without hesitation. So, while "Schindler's List" lures. Although the decision was very difficult, Hugo quickly made his own choice.
"Oh, no." Hugo looked at Rick, smiled and shook his head, "I don't think Steven Spielberg will take a fancy to me, so I still don't mix." After that, Rain Guo pointed to Joseph and said with a smile, "The projects Joe has found for me are still waiting for me to read the script, so I don't have time to think about others. People should be ambitious, but not greedy."
Hugo's words made Rick stunned for a while, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. However, Joseph, who was originally very depressed, heard Hugo's words, but he was directly fixed in place like a thunderbolt, his body was too stiff, and he couldn't make any response at all.
