Chapter 562 562

Roland noticed the joy that appeared in Hugo's eyes. Although Hugo was obviously wary, he was still relatively young after all. He couldn't compare to Roland, an old fritter who had been rolling around in the circle for nearly 20 years, so Roland keenly caught it. this one detail. But Roland was not overjoyed, he just confirmed the correctness of his strategy.

In the Hollywood circle, Roland will not use the adjective "small" as a prefix, he will use "limited" to describe it. In Hollywood, there are hundreds of trivial news every day, and almost no one can bury their heads in these news all day long. The real smart people will sort out the news they need at a useful moment, and then come to the conclusion Answer.

Recently, there are indeed rumors in the circle that Hugo and his agent Joseph had a conflict. For the agent, it is undoubtedly an offensive opportunity.

Hugo is a potential stock that has gradually shown its power. It is like a new star who has been favored by scouts early in the NBA or NFL's annual rookie draft. This new star has obviously proved his ability in the college league, enough to attract the league. The attention of the strong teams.

Other brokers take a fancy to Hugo, nothing more than the box office success of "Sleepless in Seattle", the public opinion storm of "Schindler's List", and the rock and roll revolution brought about by Glory to the Dead... All of these give Hugo the ability to become The potential of top superstars makes people flock to them.

But in Roland's view, there are two most valuable characteristics of Hugo. The first is that he has talent. Although there is no shortage of artists who rely on acquired efforts to achieve themselves in the entertainment industry, talent is indeed a rare innate. The conditions, and the most rare thing is to have the talent of acting and appearance at the same time, which can definitely be said to be one in a thousand.

In Roland's memory, among the actors he admires, very few have both talents at the same time. Marlon Brando, River Phoenix, and James Dean can all be considered. It's a pity that such actors are often very natural. Jealous of Yingcai, he died young. River's death at the end of October is undoubtedly a huge regret.

Second, Hugo has a tenacity. Talented actors such as Brando, Phoenix, and Dean often have unruly personalities. They are always easily lost in their talents. The pursuit of the spotlight will make them constantly want to escape, so that their talents are often not The method is fully exerted, and there are only a handful of brilliant people like Marlon Brando, which is also the most embarrassing part. But Hugo had an age-defying tenacity and tenacity.

Roland admires Hugo's second point more than the first point. Because the first day is born, the second day is the acquired character.

Under such circumstances, Roland noticed the contradiction between Hugo and Joseph. At present, the source of the conflict between the two people in the circle is that Hugo wants to change the agent - Joseph's ability is limited after all, which makes the agents in the circle see the opportunity, and Roland is no exception. Former agent Ron Mayer and Rick Rosen, who was close to Hugo, were the most promising, but Roland noticed a few small details.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was once infinitely close to Hugo, but eventually passed by; "Pulp Fiction" also locked Hugo, but was unable to make a decision; Joseph's next works for Hugo included "Future" Big productions such as "Water World" and "Cutthroat Island"; finally, there are rumors in the circle about Hugo's high salary.

This led Roland to conclude that the conflict between Hugo and Joseph was not an external force, but a problem with their conception of future actor development.

In fact, from an objective point of view, Joseph's idea is taken for granted. Agents all hope that their actors can shoot "orthodox" works. What is orthodox, either the box office is good, or big production, or big director, independent production is always not so It is popular, and Hugo is currently in a stage of rapid development, and it is impossible to make any mistakes. If Roland stood in Joseph's position, he would have made the same judgment.

But now Roland is not a party, but a third party, a bystander. So Roland saw the situation clearly. Although there were only two known scripts for "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction", Roland still heard a lot of information. Pertinent opinion; for example, Quentin's first favorite actor was not Hugo at all, but John Travolta, who had been declining in recent years. In the end, Quentin would change his mind because of the conversation between him and Hugo. Sparks burst out.

This led Roland to come to the conclusion: Hugo has a keen observation of works and characters, so Roland made adequate preparations, he thought he could impress Hugo, and then seized this opportunity to make Hugo the gold Mining to the creative artist agency.

The other agents are not doing anything at the moment because they are all worried about Ron Mayer and Rick Rosen, but the Creative Artists Agency, a company that started out with scorpions, has no scruples at all, which gives Roland a head start.

Roland sensed Hugo's unnoticeable joy, but instead of waiting for Hugo's answer, he said seemingly casually, "However, if you're interested in this script, I think Woody will definitely ask for it once. The one who auditioned, you know, has a unique taste for each of his films."

This is ostensibly making fun of Woody, but it's actually saying: If you want, I can arrange for you to meet. Obviously, this "I" refers to Roland, and it is also the focus of the whole sentence.

"When I had dinner with Stanley Kubrick some time ago, he was also preparing a project, but there is no definite news in the short term. He seems to be enjoying his recent seclusion life." Roland said It was said like a small talk, but it surprised both Hugo and Quentin.

Stanley Kubrick, perhaps one of the most talented directors in film history and one of the most famous directors ignored by the Oscars, has left an incredible legacy for the industry as a whole.

"2001: A. Space. Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining", "Barry. Lyndon", "Lolita", "Dr. Strangelove" Dr. Strangelove)"... The name of this series of works is enough to make everyone look up. In Stanley's seventy-one years of life, he only contributed thirteen official director works, but almost every one can become a classic, He is considered by many to be the greatest director in history, and he deserves the title of a master.

Stanley is a director who cannot be measured by awards or box office, because almost every film of his is the originator of creating a genre film. His personality, uniqueness, sharpness and sharp style are often out of tune with the era when the film was launched. It's hard to win awards or box office recognition, but the greatness of his work will gradually be verified over time: countless young people have been influenced by Stanley to become a director, and the spirit of Stanley's work Culture radiates to every corner.

James - Cameron, David - Fincher (David. Fincher), Coen Brothers, Sam - Mendes (Sam. Mendes), Paul - Thomas - Anderson (Paul. Thomas. Anderson)... This one is famous The names are all because they were shocked by Stanley Kubrick movies and became directors, and they even voluntarily called themselves "Kubrick disciples". That's where Stanley's work really shines.

Even in 2014, "2001: A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining", and "Lolita" are still absolute classics, including Hugo himself who was greatly influenced by Stanley, "Clockwork" Orange" is still one of his best films to this day.

Hugo had to admire, Roland is really amazing! Glory to Death can deeply feel the influence from "A Clockwork Orange" in the blood of the band, and the music, style and spirit of the band can actually feel the influence from Stanley Kubrick movies. Even though Hugo repeatedly made himself cautious and vigilant, when he heard the name of "Stanley Kubrick", the apex of his heart could not help shaking.

You must know that Hugo is no longer the ignorant young man after the Golden Raspberry Award. He has already been reborn, but he can't control his emotions. In particular, Hugo knew that Stanley was a person who didn't like to communicate. He always communicated with other people by phone and fax, and Roland was able to eat with Stanley all the time, which was an amazing thing.

Not only Hugo, but Quentin sitting next to him couldn't hold back, "Really? Stanley is going to film again?" Although Stanley is not Quentin's favorite director, all of his works can Seeing Stanley's shadow, for example, some scenes in "Reservoir Dogs" are affected by "Full. Metal. Jacket"; and "Kill Bill" can see traces of "A Clockwork Orange" .

Roland turned to look at Quentin and said with a smile, "He has two proposals in the pipeline, but who knows when he will choose to start shooting."

Since the "full metal casing" in 1987, Stanley has not produced any works. It can be said that the great director has been living a reclusive life, and countless of his loyal fans are eagerly looking forward to the director's new work.

Hearing Roland's words, Hugo immediately knew the two scripts Stanley currently had in hand, one was his posthumous work "Eyes. Wide. Shut", and the other was a sci-fi work he had conceived for a long time." Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)" - This work was later brought to the big screen by Steven Spielberg, fulfilling Stanley's last wish.

Although Roland was talking to Quentin, he was capturing Hugo's movements out of the corner of his eyes. He could see Hugo's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth clearly written with excitement and excitement, which made Roland's confidence rise again. Today's Things really went as expected, which couldn't be better!

It seems that persuading Hugo to join the creative artist agency does not seem to be a big problem.
