Chapter 2144: 2144 Awards Season Is Coming

Rick temporarily settled his work, relaxed his tension, and chatted with Hugo about the Super Bowl. As an annual carnival event in the United States, Rick is no exception. He was extremely excited to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show. "So, can I buy tickets first?"

Seeing Rick's rare excitement, Hugo couldn't help but smile, "No." After saying this, he could see Rick's disappointed expression overflowing between his brows, and Hugo paused , and then continued, "As far as I know, we have a VIP box."

Rick's expression suddenly became very strange. Looking at Hugo's half-smile face, he immediately understood what was going on, but in the end, joy prevailed, making him show a bright smile, and shook hands hard. Clenching my fists, "I can start arranging the vacation now." Looking up at Hugo's playful smile, he said helplessly, "You'd better go all out for the halftime show, I'm looking forward to it of."

"Too much pressure makes it easy to perform abnormally." Hugo had a calm expression on his face.

Rick couldn't laugh or cry, "After you and Charlize are together, it becomes more and more funny, does Charlize know?" This made Hugo shrug his shoulders, noncommittal. "By the way, speaking of Charlize, David mentioned to me a few days ago that you have no plans to make a sequel?" The David mentioned here is obviously David Geffen.

"Sequel? What sequel?" Hugo felt confused and didn't understand the origin of this sentence at all.

"The sequel to 'Before Sunrise'." Rick quickly replied, "After you finished filming, didn't you say that if you have the opportunity, you can shoot another sequel to tell the story that happened after that?" At the beginning" "Before Sunrise" was invested and issued by David, "It's not just David, in fact Kevin also mentioned to me that he is very interested in the sequel."

Hugo laughed lightly, "It's not just these two, is it?" Rick also laughed, which kind of verified Hugo's guess.

"Before Sunrise" won a lot of applause at the beginning, not only achieved good box office results in art theaters, but also won the hearts of the audience in the video tape rental market. Until now, the film's video tape rental results Still excellent; it also earned Hugo his first Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Now that Hugo and Charlize have come together in reality, if a sequel is filmed, the market performance of the movie is definitely worth looking forward to. The major Hollywood film companies will certainly not miss this hype opportunity. A work that was ridiculed as "Waterloo of Hugo's career" will also have a lot of people who are willing to make a sequel.

Hugo thought about it, and it was actually a good idea.

Leaving aside the historical trajectory, after the story of "Before Sunrise" ended, Jesse and Selena returned to their respective lives and went through different stages. Both of them missed the original agreement and could not really leave. together. But when two people meet again, their state of mind, mentality, and psychology have all changed, and the sparks that burst out are bound to be no longer the same. A story told in "Before Sunset" will also interpret the chemical reaction that occurs after the precipitation of love.

More importantly, the situation of Hugo and Charlize has also changed. If this story is recreated, it will inevitably have different feelings.

"Maybe, maybe I can try it out. It's a good idea to write a brand new script." Hugo nodded his chin lightly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. After experiencing "perfect", " After the two works of "A Beautiful Mind", Hugo has developed a deeper understanding of scripts, stories, and characters. If there is a chance, it is indeed more in line with his heart to have him write the script himself.

"However, it is estimated that it will be impossible in a short period of time." There must be no time in the last two months. Even if there is no tour next year, it will be relatively free after at least April. The planning of the script had to be postponed further.

Rick also nodded in agreement, "Anyway, the initiative is in your hands. Are you still not going to the Golden Globes this year?" At this time, there is not much time left until the awards season, although there are still a few weeks before the nominations are announced, But the Golden Globes started to pave the way early, and I hope that Hugo can appear on the Golden Globes again after seven years after 1992.

Last year, the Golden Globe awarded Hugo the Best Actor Award in a Musical Comedy, and Hugo then successfully aspired to the Oscar winner. This is also a rare fit in the past few years. It can be seen that the Golden Globe Awards have been seeking to ease the relationship with Hugo from the objective standpoint of professional authority—from "LA Confidential" to "The Truman Show", the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for two consecutive years , is the best proof.

Hugo has nothing against the Golden Globes themselves. What happened in 1992 has changed. Even the Golden Raspberry Awards seem to be a thing of the last century. However, Hugo didn't have much desire to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, as if the Golden Globe Awards in January had never been on his schedule.

"Should... uh, no way." Hugo was not very sure, "If the album can be recorded before Christmas, then go and have a look. If it's too late, then focus all your energy on the album. "In fact, the Hugo has been the same in the past few years. Compared with the Golden Globes, there are always more important things to deal with, so the Golden Globes are always abandoned.

Rick didn't care too much, nodded to express his understanding, and didn't continue to inquire.

As the conversation between Rick and Hugo shows, awards season is picking up steam as November approaches. Compared with last year, this year's major film companies are still groping, but at least they are no longer smeared. The release schedule, promotional itinerary planning, etc., have begun to follow.

Neil Jordan (Neil. Jordan), who once filmed "The Crying Game (The. Crying. Game)", teamed up with Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore to bring "The End of Love (The. End. Of . The. Affair)" was hailed as this year's "Bridges of Madison County". It was released early in early November and sparked a lot of discussion.

"Boys Don't Cry (Boys. Don't. Cry)" was released in early November, it is considered to be this year's "female. Devil", the heroine Hilary - Swank (Hilary. Swank) It is only one year older than Charlize; "Being. John. Malkovich", known as a masterpiece of ghost genius, has also become a dark horse in this year's original script amidst the praises. Charlie Cow Fenman's emergence reminds people of Paul Thomas Anderson.

Immediately afterwards, "The. Insider" directed by Michael Mann triggered a frenzy in the entire market, whether it was Al Pacino or Russell Crowe, they all won the affirmation of all film critics, who believed that they Both of them are expected to hit the title of Best Actor this year. In particular, Russell, who presented a masterpiece after "LA Confidential" the year before, was born almost at the speed of light.

Many people called "Shocking Insider" this year's "LA Confidential".

Subsequently, two high-profile works made their debut one after another. "The Green Mile" gathered Tom Hanks, Frank Darabont and others, and was adapted from Stephen King's novel. After the discussion, it won a lot of applause after it was released, and it was considered to have the hope of replicating the miracle of "Shawshank's Redemption" back then.

Immediately afterwards, "The. Cider. House. Rules" (The. Cider. House. Rules) also showed a big hit. This work starred Tobey Maguire and Charlize Theron, and the director was ten years ago. Relying on "The Years of the Dog Face (My. Life. As. A. Dog)", the Swede Lasse Hallstrom (Lasse. Hallstrom) won two Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director. This work was filmed before "Female Devil", but due to unsatisfactory post-editing, it was delayed until this year's release.

After a crowd of works waiting for an opportunity to hit the major award ceremonies were released, major film companies also announced the list of films released in December.

Gold medal director Milos Forman teamed up with Kim Carrey to bring a biographical film "Man. On. The Moon" which will be released on December 20, focusing on the man who died in 1984. Cancer's legendary comedy superstar Andy Kaufman (Andy. Kaufman), can see they are eager to replicate last year's "The Truman Show" line of comedy miracles.

After "The English Patient", Anthony Minghella brought "The. Talented. Mr. Ripley (The. Talented. Mr. Ripley)", which will be released on December 25th. Actors such as Meng, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman, etc., hope to show their mentality in the awards season. This work is also the highlight of the Weinstein Brothers this year. The brothers chose "The Genius Ripley" as their breakthrough this year when they failed to compete with DreamWorks for the "Cider House Law".

Finally, "The Hurricane" by Norman Jewison landed in North America on December 29th after it received good reviews at the Toronto Film Festival. The director of "Hot Summer Night", "Fiddler on the House (Fiddler. On. The. Roof)", "Moonlight Sultry" and other classic masterpieces, has been nominated for Oscar for Best Director three times but has never won an award. The director, with this adaptation of a true story starring Denzel Washington, will hit this year's major awards.

Unknowingly, the hustle and bustle of the awards season has gradually begun to appear orderly, and major film companies have begun to make strategic arrangements in order to impact the major award ceremonies, which has brought the film industry into a new stage of development.

Amidst this turbulent wave, "A Beautiful Mind" came quietly, and unintentionally became a newcomer in the awards season, which sparked a round of heated discussions.
