"So, let me star in this movie, it wasn't Sharon who asked for it, right?" Hugo's first reaction was this, and in his impression, "" was Sharon's queen. Palace.

Rick was stunned for a moment, and then said, "As far as I know, it seems that yes, Sharon was full of praise and admiration for you when she was interviewed. "

Being chosen by Sharon is not a good thing, not to mention that Hugo has never had any feelings for Sharon, and the stupid remarks of Sharon alone are enough to make him shy away. Therefore, hearing this, Hugo's first reaction was to frown and have a disgusted expression.

As a result, Henry suddenly began to laugh, which made Joseph and Rick confused, "Hugo, Sharon is showing you love, how about it, are you interested in going to her bed?"

Hugo pouted, "I don't even want her to climb into my bed." Now Joseph and Rick also understood, and couldn't help laughing.

Objectively speaking, ""This work is quite interesting.

Director Sam Raimi is now only a little famous in Hollywood, and he relies on "the. evil。 Dead)" series opened a new era, but at this time he was still not the successful director who later created the "Spider-Man" series, so the film industry did not trust him. But under Sharon's threat, he nodded and agreed to Sam's joining.

Russell and Crowe are even more so, this is his first work when he left Australia and came to the United States, for Hollywood, he is a country boy, not at all nominated for the Oscars in 1999, 2000, and 2001, so the film industry is full of doubts about him. But under the escort of Sharon and Sam, Russell played the leading role when he first entered Hollywood.

It was no exception, and his salary was even paid by Sharon out of his own pocket.

The only actor who was favored by the film industry early on was Jean Hackman, a five-time Oscar nominee and two-time winner of the Golden Man, who is definitely one of the most important actors in the United States today.

Although people joke that this is Sharon choosing a man, it is undeniable that Sam, Russell, and these three men later became, and Sharon's vision is still somewhat level.

"So, you're not interested in this work?" Rick knew the result by looking at Hugo's expression, but asked more on a whim.

Hugo rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Are you kidding me, the story of a woman and three men, and it's a western, do you think this script will be wonderful?" Although Hugo had only heard of this movie and had not seen it, he also remembered that this work had a very bad reputation and was ridiculed as a "shooting match documentary", which shows how boring it was.

Rick got the answer he expected as a matter of course, but looking at Hugo's helpless and depressed expression, he suddenly felt happy, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, "I think Mark should be stunned when he knows this result." ”

"o。

The combination of Gus Van Sant and Nicole Kidman did not impress Hugo, and "" This work, Sharon Stone and Jean Hackman is attractive enough, plus the close relationship with Hugo, it does have a strong attraction, Mark Canton obviously hopes to borrow the appeal of Hugo, Leonardo and Sharon to recreate the glory of Westerns, and has huge ambitions for the box office.

But alas, Hugo was still not interested.

Rick had already teased a few more words, although Hugo didn't mind, but his personality really didn't fit into these, so he immediately said, "Then Jerry and Zach probably won't be able to satisfy you." "

Jerry Zack is arguably the most famous director and producer in the United States in the 80s, and his first work is "Airplane!" won a full house, not only became one of the most memorable comedy works in film history, but also opened a precedent for nonsensical jokes, and then "The Bald Detective (the. naked。 gun)" series was a huge success, and it brought nonsensical comedy to its peak - after that, Kim Yi Carey and Zhou. Star. Chidu was greatly influenced by these works. Subsequently, Jerry's "Ghost Love" created an almost insurmountable peak for romance movies.

After that, Jerry continued to work well, "Walking in the Clouds (a. walk。 in。 the。 cloud)", "My Best Friend's Wedding (my. best。 friend，s。 wedding)", "Friends are also on. Beds (friends. with。 bes)" and other works can be seen in the list of makers.

It can be said that Jerry has always been a Hollywood comedy and romance movie that cannot be ignored.

One member.

So, when he heard Jerry's name, Hugo's first reaction was a romance and comedy movie, "If it's a romance movie, forget it, if it's a comedy, maybe I can try to watch it." "Sleepless in Seattle" is a romance movie, and Hugo has no plans to appear in it again in a short time, but the challenge of comedy has never appeared, and Hugo thinks maybe it is a good choice to try it.

Rick couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Hugo to be interested in comedy, but he immediately said, "No, this time it's a European medieval samurai movie." But after saying that, Rick still felt unsure, and added, "You're interested in comedy?"

Hugo raised an eyebrow, "Comedy is not that easy, I want to challenge it, but I don't want to ruin other people's comedy." In Hugo's view, not everyone can star in a comedy, this also requires acting skills, and at the same time, it also needs aura, and it is always more difficult to make the audience laugh than to bring tears to it.

Rick couldn't help choking and glanced at Joseph, only to find that Joseph also had an expression of "don't look at me, I don't understand what he's thinking", so he could only reluctantly return to the topic, "This time Jerry's work is a big production, with an investment of 75 million dollars, I guess, they want you and Sean to Connery (sean. ery) plays the opposite role. "

Sean I. Connery? This superstar, who relied on the heroism and gentlemanly demeanor of James and Bond in "007" to attract countless audiences, is considered to be the most successful James and Bond in history, and after entering the late 80s and early 90s, he once again ushered in the peak of his career at the age of more than 60.

If that's the case, then Mark must have put the most energy and hope into this work, and imagine that Hugo and Sean teamed up, this is definitely a box office bomb. And investing 75 million to photograph the love and hate in the European medieval court is bound to attract countless attention.

However, Hugo has some bad premonitions, although Jerry is one of the most successful producers and directors at present, his directing ability is more concentrated in the small-cost production system, in other words, he lacks a clear sense of the size between the scheduling of large scenes and the depiction of the plot, and often cares about one or the other. Therefore, Jerry's performance in small costs, small scenes, and small stories has always been very brilliant, but the large-scale zuò aspect is not so convincing.

What's more, this is a court samurai movie, not a romance or comedy, can Jerry really be in control? Wouldn't the movie be made into a lingering love romance movie? And then spend all the 75 million dollars on gorgeous sets, resulting in an empty story structure that is ruined on the outside?

This is not empiricism, but Hugo's accurate judgment based on the situation twenty years later.

"What's the name of the work?" Hugo didn't want to be too arbitrary, after all, there were all Hollywood movies in l994 and l995, and he didn't necessarily have heard of all the works, so he still needed to confirm it.

"'The Swordsman Romance (first. knight)，。 Rick said simply.

Hugo nodded his chin slightly, but he was thinking in his heart that he really didn't wronged Jerry. "Swordsman Romance" Hugo hasn't seen the movie either, but I've just heard of it, this movie is co-starring Sean Connelly and Richard Keele, but after the movie was released, it became the worst work of Jerry's directorial career, not one of them.

And what's even more terrifying is that the box office of this film is very poor, only 37 million US dollars in North America, and only 120 million at the global box office - relying on Sean's ageless box office appeal - barely exceeding the book cost, but because the publicity expenses are too high, and the subsequent video tape rental is also in vain, the production company still loses money in the end.

Now it seems that this unlucky production company is the film industry.

Hugo didn't say anything more, but simply said, "I don't know that Jerry and Zach are actually interested in court movies, do you want to spoof like 'Bald Detective'?"

Hugo now always remembers that he has not read the script, so it is naturally impossible to judge the life and death of a script casually, so he will still give a simple explanation.

Rick nodded slightly, expressing understanding, although he was still a little curious about Hugo's keen judgment on these scripts, he still didn't say anything, after all, these works were not his fancy in the first place, "It seems that Mark's plan this time is going to fall through." "

From today's conversation between Joseph and Mark, it can be seen that Mark is determined to cooperate with Hugo, these scripts cover different genres, investment, scale, and cast have their own attractions, Mark is full of confidence in these works, so he thinks he will be able to impress Hugo. It is estimated that "Swordsman Romance" will be Mark's biggest killer feature. If a partnership is reached, as Rick said, Mark will definitely have a back hand - he hasn't had a good time in the film industry lately.

However, Hugo directly strangled Mark's plan in the cradle, and he was not interested in these scripts at all. It is conceivable that when Mark actually submits the script to Rick and Rick rejects them one by one, it will be a lot of fun.

"Can I watch from the sidelines when you reject Mark?" Joseph remembered Mark's attitude this afternoon, and said it jokingly.

Rick shrugged, "Do you think he's going to deliver it himself?" Mark is the president, and generally there is a professional department responsible for talking about scripts, and even if Mark wants to contact, it is only a phone call.

Joseph smashed his mouth, "What a person without interest." (To be continued).
