Chapter 2060: 2060 Mental Illness

In the long history, countless talented artists and scientists have been victims of mental illness, because they are often able to see the world that ordinary people cannot see, and burst out endless inspiration to benefit mankind. But more often, in the eyes of others, they are just a group of lunatics, and people even throw stones at them to divide the boundaries.

John Nash is one of the victims. His talent, his wisdom, and his cleverness allowed him to discover game theory, but it also made him suffer from schizophrenia, but he was considered a monster by people. Even the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize have repeatedly canceled the intention of awarding John because of his illness. It was not until 1994 that the Nobel Prize came late—at this time John had basically recovered, and soon Less recurrence.

"Mental illness = lunatic", this misconception has occupied people's thoughts for a long time, which has caused countless families to suffer great pain, and even caused many parents to give up their children, taking the mentally ill one step further. One step into the abyss.

Yao remembers that "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was released in 1975, but the deeper meaning of this movie is "the real madness is the loss of freedom", and it did not make people aware of the pain and struggle of mental illness. Now, Allen has put forward a higher, more realistic, and more important idea. In addition to "The Truman Show", which pursues freedom, a story like John Nash is needed to tell people the cruel reality.

Allen's idea is correct, Hugo is indeed one of the most suitable candidates for this project.

Hugo once suffered from schizophrenia during the filming of "Death Man Walking". Even just thinking about the pain of soul tearing is enough to make people shudder. To be able to have a strong enough mind to find the real self for the second time, instead of getting lost in the boundless darkness. What is even more frightening is that this pain still affects his living conditions.

Although Hugo is far less painful than John Nash, John has endured the pain of schizophrenia and strange eyes around him for more than ten years; The bewilderment, struggle and pain in the quagmire are shown.

In addition, during Hugo's long career as an actor, he has challenged many different types of roles, but he has never played a real schizophrenic patient. Not long ago, Hugo completed two works of different themes and types, "The Truman Show" and "The Sixth Sense", and made progress in acting again. However, even for Hugo today, John Nash can still be regarded as a difficult challenge.

Just like Irene Enos in "The Devil", Hugo is not sure that he can perfectly interpret John Nash's state. This kind of challenge is like a brand-new limit, waiting for Hugo to hit and break through, and truly comprehend the Zen state of "looking at the mountain is still a mountain, and looking at the water is still water".

Even though Allen just said something briefly, Hugo's mind had already set off a storm, and the excitement and excitement that was about to move began to rush through the blood, almost making Hugo unable to hold back, wanting to Take this project right away. This made Hugo himself feel a little funny-especially when he understood the uncertainty of the adaptation script from 2001 to 1998, he was still so impulsive, which made him more black humorous.

In fact, this is a very miraculous thing. For Hugo, he has now reached the peak period of an actor. From trophies to box office, from word of mouth to popularity, and even from actor to producer, he has fully blossomed. It's like climbing Mount Everest by yourself. After seeing all the mountains and mountains, there is a crisis of lack of goals to continue to strive for, and it is easy to get lost-even the highest peak on the earth has been conquered by yourself. So, what's the next step?

After "Independence Day", Hugo became the producer of "LA Confidential", entering a new field. In addition to the position of producer, Hugo still has a lot to learn. But as an actor, logically speaking, he shouldn't have any sense of challenge. But the fact is just the opposite. First, "The Truman Show", then "The Sixth Sense", and now John Nash, the desire for acting in Hugo's body is still restless, the kind of can't wait to get involved The excitement and joy in the performance is really too rare.

Coming to Hugo's current position, it is almost impossible for him to still maintain his hunger for acting skills. But it was precisely this sense of hunger that brought Hugo to where he is today. He can still firmly remember this feeling of hunger. This is Hugo's sanity and sobriety. This is Hugo's ability and level. Hugo has reached a cause that no one else has touched.

He hopes to continue to maintain this hunger.

He wants to play John Nash, he wants to challenge schizophrenic patients, he wants to tell people the true face of mental illness, he wants to let people really stand in the position of mental illness patients to see their world through his performance , he wants to push his limits again to achieve the impossible one after another... He wants to take over this project.

Although old foxes such as Robert Iger, Shirley Lansing, and Kevin Burns all know Hugo very well, they always know how to use means to achieve their goals; but those who really understand Hugo do not need means and With scheming, you can easily impress Hugo. Just like Allen, just a "Vanity Fair" magazine, Hugo's blood has already begun to boil.

"Hugo, I want you to play John Nash, because I know you want to bring truth to everyone." Allen has always known that Hugo is very repulsive of those excessive pursuits and excessive attention, but Hugo has never forgotten His own responsibility, as a top superstar—even a unique superstar in the entire film history, Hugo has always insisted on using his influence to contribute to charity.

In the past year, the Sally Foundation has successfully helped hundreds of people; the Twisted Tour has promoted the rock career, and even the most stubborn, radical and extreme loyal music fans have to give a thumbs up; " The impact of "Seven Deadly Sins" on the uncrowned king, the torture of "Death Row Walking" on the death penalty, and the flogging of entertainment to death by "The Truman Show", Hugo is relying on his own strength to change this society as much as possible.

Hugo is not a superman, nor does he intend to become a superman, but he clearly knows that with great power comes great responsibility, and he is taking on this responsibility. Therefore, Allen brought John Nash's story to Hugo because he knew Hugo and because he was Hugo's friend.

Allen has been looking at Hugo's expression, and he can see the positive emotions from the thoughtful expression, which makes Allen understand that he is achieving his goal step by step, "Hugo, I not only hope You play John Nash, and I want you to take on this project, because I can't find anyone in Hollywood who is more suitable for this work than you."

"Take this project?" Hugo woke up from his thoughts, but didn't understand what Allen meant.

"I have bought the rights to adapt John Nash's biographical novel 'A. Beautiful. Mind' written by Sylvia Nasar, but the project has not yet been approved. I know, Many film companies are interested in this project, but I hope to give it to you, you are the only candidate in my mind." Allen explained that this is the real important thing today, "I hope that you will complete the adaptation of the script Work, and then shoulder the responsibility of the producer, from the director to the actors, everything is left to you to choose, including the cooperative company. Of course, your role as John Nash is my only request."

Hugo looked at Alan in astonishment, but Alan looked at Hugo without dodging, his blue eyes were calm and calm.

Hugo could read too many emotions from those eyes, which made his heart heavy, because he knew exactly how important Alan's trust was.

Although Hugo has already served as the producer of the three works of "LA Confidential", "As Good as It Gets" and "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", after all, his qualifications are still young, and large production companies are still unwilling to completely Decentralization, at this point, Hugo still has a gap compared to big guys like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. But now, Allen has handed over the entire project of John Nash's biography to Hugo, which means that the success or failure of the work is completely maintained on Hugo's shoulders.

Although this trust is not the first person to eat crabs, it is definitely the first person to jump off the cliff.

Hugo wanted to open his mouth to say some words of rejection, but he couldn't, because he really liked this project very much, and Hugo felt very excited at the thought of playing the role of John Nash; When the legendary life was adapted into a script, Hugo felt a lot of emotion.

Hugo also wanted to open his mouth to say some modest words, but he stopped. Because he knows that instead of being modest and polite, it is better to put all his energy on the project itself and truly deliver a perfect answer; moreover because he knows that Alan's trust in him is unconditional, and his humility is just a mask of a hypocrite.

Seeing Alan's trusting eyes, Hugo finally nodded slightly, "Dude, I won't let you down." The understatement overflowed with confidence, making people clearly feel Hugo's urgency and sure.

Allen showed a big smile, "I know you won't."

In this way, in just 20 minutes, John Nash became Hugo's next project after ending "The Sixth Sense". Then, what will Hugo's version of John Nash look like? Woolen cloth?
