Chapter 969 969 Independent Director

Seeing the figure of Douglas turning away angrily, Hugo found it very interesting.

It can be seen from the brief conversation just now that Douglas is a very arrogant person, and he is also very confident. Generally speaking, when such a person is questioned, he will never compromise easily, and he will definitely fight according to reason. ; but he did not. It's really interesting because he doesn't bother to argue? Or is it because he has a guilty conscience and knows that his works are not so "magnificent"?

Douglas-Hessla... Hugo recalled the name carefully, but found that there was no corresponding image in his mind, which means that he did not wrongly blame a genius, at least in the next twenty years, there will be no such a person. The legendary director was born.

In fact, it is true that there is no such thing as a patchwork of films like Douglas. The film industry has always believed in "entertainment to death", and major production companies will do their best to tap the residual value of any film. In the future, there will not only be big platter movies like the "Scary. Movie" series, which are very popular; there will also be "Vampires. Suck" and "Disaster movies". .Movie)" such a spoof movie.

If Douglas did it on purpose, such a script would still be favored by manufacturers; but it is ironic that Douglas described the script as an epic masterpiece.

Thinking about the beautifully packaged script in Douglas's hand again, Hugo's smile could not help but rise: Hollywood is indeed a land full of countless magic.

Hugo turned around and walked upstairs. When he reached the second floor, he knocked on the door, but there was no sound from the room for the first time. Hugo hesitated and knocked on the door again. Ernst's irritable voice followed. Come, "Do you know what time it is? If it's not a fire or an earthquake, you better have a reasonable explanation!" Then Ernst opened the door to the room.

Hugo looked up and down, Ernst was neatly dressed at this time and did not change his pajamas at all, but he did not expose Ernst's thoughts, but said sincerely, "No, I just want to tell you that the script Investors are found, producers and actors are found, and everything is going well. I think maybe you will be interested.”

"Che, that's your script, it's none of my business, I'm not curious at all." Ernst grumbled, but he didn't close the door. He paused, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know. How to speak, but he still raised his head and glared at Hugo, "You haven't gone upstairs to rest, what are you doing here! Don't you know that disturbing the old man's rest is a heinous thing?"

Hugo chuckled lightly and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Sorry, my mistake, then, good night!" He turned around and left after saying that. Ernst was in a hurry, watching Hugo's back as he left. , wanted to ask questions, but couldn't find the steps, which made him very tangled at the door.

Hugo noticed that Ernst did not close the door immediately as usual, and he knew the situation, but Hugo did not turn around immediately, but halfway down the stairs, almost disappearing from Ernst's sight, this time. Only then did he stop and turn around, as if he had mentioned it inadvertently, "Oh, that's right!"

Ernst was taken aback and immediately closed the door of the room in a panic, causing Hugo to stand on the steps dumbfounded: This was not his planned reaction... But seeing Ernst panicking After closing the door, Hugo was still delighted.

"I just want to tell you that the producer is David Geffen. Everything else is fine." Hugo shouted to the closed door. After speaking, he took his steps again and returned to the building. superior.

Ernst stood behind the door of the room and muttered in detail, "David Geffen, David Geffen... This kid has a good eye and found the right person. However, Geffen is not good at making Movies, it's best if he doesn't interfere randomly..." Ernst mulled over it alone, then turned off the hall light and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

Things went more smoothly than expected, which gave Hugo a sound night's sleep. But early the next morning, when Alex heard the news, he looked at Hugo with a sad look on his face. Although he didn't say a word, he clearly expressed his meaning, which made Hugo Can't laugh or cry.

"Alex, I said I'm sorry, and this is what I didn't expect." Hugo explained with a smile, but Alex was still crying.

Alex is actually complaining about missing the chance to work with Hugo again. The last time the "speed of life and death" was due to a schedule issue, which was an objective factor, and there was no way to adjust it. After that, Alex kept saying that he wanted to cooperate with Hugo; as a result, this time "Sunrise" "Before," it was simply a one-act drama with one man and one woman, and Alex didn't have the chance to appear again.

What Alex really lamented was this: Hugo wrote the script himself, but he still didn't get a chance to appear.

Hugo ate the cereal in his bowl and said with a smile, "When Leo comes, you can sit and speak ill of me together, I won't mind." Leonardo also joked with him. Hugo complained twice. The script that Hugo wrote for the first time did not give him a chance to make a cameo. It was not like what a friend would do.

I didn't want Alex to be directly provoked, "Hey, Leo has worked with you once before! If Toby complains, I can accept it, but Leo? No, I refuse to talk to Leo!"

Looking at Alex's depressed expression, Charlize felt very happy, "Alex, you should know that Leo is Hugo's sweetheart, you can't compare with him, it's not fair."

Before Alex could react, Hugo became sad, "Hey! Charlize! Are you still pouring gasoline?" Sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Alex's eyes like a grievance woman, letting him Hugo couldn't stand it at all.

Fortunately, there was a knock on the hall door at this time, and Samora was about to walk out of the kitchen to open the door, but Hugo fled, "I'm coming, let me come!" Then he ran to the gate in a flash. The words that Alex hadn't said yet were smothered in his mouth.

Hugo opened the door while shouting "Who's there". It was just after nine o'clock in the morning. Who would come to visit? Rick, Joseph, Carl and others all had keys. As a result, when Hugo opened the door, he saw a completely unfamiliar face, standing at the door with a jerky and reserved expression.

"Good morning, is this Lancaster's house?" the person said politely, his voice was a little tight, and he could feel his nervousness. The person who came was not tall, chubby, with medium-length hair that went past the ears, looking very messy, like a bird's nest ravaged by a storm, with a shy and nervous smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't even raise his eyes, just Looking at the shoe rack next to the door, he didn't see that it was Hugo who opened the door.

Hugo felt that the person was familiar, but he couldn't call out his name at once. He thought it was because of his blindness, "Yes, good morning, I'm Hugo Lancaster."

The visitor seemed to be frightened and raised his eyes in surprise. After realizing that Hugo was in front of him, his eyes showed surprise, but then he became more cautious, "Hey...hey, I, I'm... Chad Linklater, that… I got your, uh, script, so, here comes, I mean, we can meet, you know, talk and see."

It was Richard Linklater.

Although Hugo likes Richard's "Before Sunrise" trilogy very much, the low-key independent director rarely appears in public, and Hugo really didn't recognize it for a while. "Welcome! I was still thinking about when you will receive the letter and when you will be able to read the script. I have been looking forward to your positive reply. I didn't expect you to give me a surprise today."

Hugo also looked very happy, his tone jumping in the air, "It's really an honor to meet you, thank you for coming in person." Hugo stepped aside, invited Richard into the hall, and then led him towards off the sofa, "We are having breakfast, do you want to join us?"

"No, no. I mean, I ate it at home." Richard was about to sit down, but stood up again when he heard this, "Sorry to interrupt your breakfast." Charlie in the dining room Ze, Alex, and Samora waved enthusiastically, making Richard even more nervous.

Hugo was amused by Richard's restraint and caution, "I think the nervous person should be me, because I took the initiative to invite you to shoot my script, so you can pick on me as much as you like, and you have the initiative. right."

Richard chuckled twice, shyly avoiding his eyes. Although Hugo only had a few words with Richard, he could feel that Richard was a very delicate and sensitive person, no wonder he could shoot such literary and delicate love works.

"Actually, I'm more curious, how did you know me." Richard saw Hugo sit down, and he sat down, but he still asked properly, "I know, you said in the letter, you see Been 'young and frivolous' but...it's still incredible, you know, you...you're Hugo Lancaster!"

Hugo knows what Richard means. In the past year, Hugo's achievements in the film circle are really amazing. Many people will look at him with special eyes, which makes Hugo very uncomfortable. , "Richard, you have to know, I'm just an actor, and I'm also a movie lover, other than that, nothing special. I like good movies, and I like 'young and frivolous', that's all Simple."

Hugo's brisk and clear words made Richard unconsciously relax a little. He could feel Hugo's friendliness and Hugo's warmth, and then he saw Hugo smiled slyly, "Right now, I'm still a screenwriter, a screenwriter who doesn't know anything, so I think it's time for me to stand trial."

Such a sentence made Richard laugh, a truly relaxed smile.
