Since Luen Pictures was acquired by MGM in 1981, there are only seven of Hollywood's eight major film companies, namely MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, Twentieth Century Fox and Disney.

Today, Rick's scripts include projects from Paramount, Columbia, Universal and Disney, four top companies, and there is no doubt that Hugo is currently the most sought-after actor in Hollywood, in addition to the box office appeal that major companies value the most, Hugo can easily control different roles, which is one of the core reasons for the large number of scripts.

After Hugo's initial reading of the script came to an end, he saw a script from another top film company, New Line Films.

When it comes to New Line Films, it's easy to think of the "Lord of the Rings" series, "rush." hour)" series, "Ace Big Cheap Spy (austin. powers)" series, "The Grim Reaper is Coming (final. destination)" series and other outstanding works. Founded in 1967, the independent distribution company began by distributing low-budget horror films, and then entered the production industry by producing low-budget horror films, and in a short period of ten years, it has grown into one of the most discerning and spiritual independent film companies in the United States. Before the advent of DreamWorks, New Line Films could be said to have stolen all the limelight.

In 1993, Warner Bros.'s parent company, Time Warner, acquired New Line Pictures, but still maintained its own rights to operate the company and had no direct relationship with Warner Bros. That's why a small number of media will treat New Line Film Company as independent, making it one of the eight major film companies.

This continued until 2007, when New Line Films spent $180 million to create the epic magic masterpiece "The Golden Compass." golden。 pass)" and invited Daniel Craig, who has already taken on the role of the new James Bond. Craig) and Nicole Kidman, who finally dreamed of an Oscar, only got $26 million at the box office, making it one of the most money-losing films in history, making New Line Studios directly have financial difficulties and almost go bankrupt.

Time Warner was very dissatisfied with this, and after careful discussion, it was decided to merge New Line Films into Warner Bros., so that the "New Line" brand that had been in Hollywood for 40 years no longer existed independently - every time it appeared, it would carry the Warner Bros. logo, and since then, New Line Pictures has become a production department of Warner Bros.

Even so, Hollywood will always remember the brand of New Line Films, and the countless masterpieces they produced have left their mark, such as last year's "Strange Heroes in Disguise" and "Dumb and Dumb" were all released from New Line Film, and for example, Hugo's script in his hand at this time - "Seven Deadly Sins (se7en)".

"The Seven Deadly Sins" is one of the most important works in the long history of film, and this work has been regarded by countless people as one of the absolute masterpieces in cult movies, ranking 22nd among the 250 on IMDB, and has been sought after by countless fans.

At the same time, it was after the "Seven Deadly Sins" that the so-called "Eight" status of New Line Film Company was officially recognized, which was originally just a small number of media shouts, but the huge success of the "Seven Deadly Sins" made most of the media agree.

The film tells the story of a serial killer and two police detectives, a serial killer who is well-versed in classical literature and religious studies, and who has carefully devised a set of methods to challenge the evil world: arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, lust, according to Western religions. Desire is the seven deadly sins of mankind, so he finds a sacrifice for each of them, makes them die in the form of this sin, and then completes his protest against this world.

The film as a whole not only discusses the deep realities of society, but also dabbles in the deep issues between human nature, religious beliefs, and moral evil. The simple story line is advancing layer by layer and foggy, making people have no way to breathe, but the single-line flat and direct narration still magnifies the suspense infinitely, and every detail and plot is worth savoring.

It can be said that this is a masterpiece that has both an entertaining commercial effect and a reflective artistic effect, and the discussion of society and religion in the story seems simple, but when you think about it seriously, it is endlessly evocative.

After the "Seven Deadly Sins" was born, it was loved by countless audiences, and was repeatedly discussed and reminiscent by many fans, and it has become a work that cannot be ignored in the nineties, which is full of classics. Comparatively speaking, critics' opinions on the work are quite divided, with those who like it highly praised and those who dislike it, but on the whole, the critics still give director David Fincher (David. fincher) must be sure, and when the time is ripe, it will also witness the film history classic "Fight. club)" was born.

David Fincher is a very typical type of director in Hollywood: he started as a music video director, and then changed his career to become a TV or film director, so as to strive for the world.

David has directed music videos for big-name singers such as Madonna, the Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith, and later became the music video director for Michael Jackson's "Dangerous Journey" world tour. 3)", but alas, David's debut film was criticized for being useless, almost a fiasco. This is a death knell for a rookie director who has just transitioned from a music video director to the film field.

If the major film companies give up like this, or David gives up like this, then people will not have the opportunity to "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club" and other classics, after entering the 21st century, David also filmed "Pani", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (the. curious。 case。 of。 benjamin。 button)", "social network (the. social。 work)" and other outstanding works, and even handed over "House of Cards" in the field of TV dramas. of。 cards)" is a masterpiece that has been praised by countless people.

It can be said that "The Seven Deadly Sins" is the first work in which David's aggressive style gradually formed, and since then, this sense of rhythm that belongs to David can be felt in the editing style and lens texture of "Fight Club" and "Social Network".

Whether for fans, critics, or David himself, "The Seven Deadly Sins" is one of the absolute masterpieces worth remembering. If Hugo were to list his ten favorite films from the nineties, which was obviously an impossible task, he would rather give up "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Forrest Gump" than the "Seven Deadly Sins".

"The Seven Deadly Sins" is the only classic crime movie that is enough to go down in history, and at the same time, this movie also allows people to witness the strong rise of two actors: Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey.

The cast of the movie can be called an iron triangle, in addition to Brad and Kevin, there is also the veteran actor Morgan Freeman, these three actors play their own roles, and the whole movie can be said to be between the three of them.

The young detective played by Brad is strong-blooded and impulsive, and the old detective played by Morgan is calm, steady, witty and patient, which is the most typical image of a police detective. As an old drama bone, Morgan's performance is restrained and not sharp, but the character's temperament that blooms from the inside out makes silence a kind of acting skills, which is amazing; Comparatively speaking, Brad's performance is relatively inferior.

In fact, Brad's character is very connotative, the inner changes hidden behind the impulse, the emotions are gradually pushed along with the changes in the weather and events, and finally reach the peak, and completely explode after the struggle, this gradual change process is not obvious, but very rich. It's a pity that Brad's acting skills are a little rigid and he has not been able to interpret the essence of the role.

Brad contributed a brilliant performance of insolence in "Twelve Monkeys", which brought out the character's neurotic expression to the fullest, but this kind of performance requires release rather than control, so Brad is very competent. The role of "Seven Deadly Sins" needs to be carved and portrayed, and the lack of thickness of young Brad's acting skills is highlighted.

So when many people watch movies, they always feel that the young police detective has no room for performance, but just feels Brad's sexuality. is charming and fascinates countless female audiences.

But even so, after 1994, Brad dedicated two masterpieces, "Twelve Monkeys" and "Seven Deadly Sins", in 1995, which established his status as an idol of a generation, soaring to the sky, and becoming an idol difficult actor comparable to Tom Cruise.

Compared to the performances of Brad and Morgan, it was Kevin Spacey that really hit the scene with "The Seven Deadly Sins".

Prior to this, Kevin, who has been playing tricks in major movies, gave a stunning performance in this film, the murderer he played was calm and wise, calm and calm, but the cruel bloodthirsty and heartbroken neuroticism was hidden behind the calm and victorious smile, which made people shudder. It's almost amazing. The difference between the surface and the heart of this character is not only huge but also delicate, and there are almost strict requirements for the actor's control, and Kevin's perfect performance pushes the character's charm to the peak. It's no exaggeration to say that at least one-third of the credit for the success of the Seven Deadly Sins should go to Kevin, and the other two-thirds to the script and David Fincher.

Kevin's performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins" amazed countless people, and in the same year he appeared in "The Very Suspects." usual。 suspects)" gave an even more brilliant performance, which won him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop, soared to the sky, and has been out of control since then.

It can be said that the movie "The Seven Deadly Sins", both in terms of the film as a whole and the performance space of the characters, is absolutely second to none, which is almost the best screenplay Hugo has seen since "Pulp Fiction", and even enough to compare with "Schindler's List".

Therefore, when Hugo saw the "Seven Deadly Sins", he was so excited that he even burst into cheers.
