Compared with "Future Water World", this work can be said to be the most suitable choice for all the works in Rick's hands in recent times, whether in terms of script quality, investment scale, or cast lineup and character mining.

The most important thing is that "Apollo L3" not only satisfies Rick's ideas, but also meets Hugo's requirements, although Hugo does not seem so satisfied, and "Apollo L3" is not in a hurry to start filming, and is still in the process of seeking actors.

So, Rick hopes that Hugo will leave the script behind, read it a few more times, and then make a new decision. Hugo agreed.

On the one hand, because Hugo knows how to compromise and retreat, Rick has done his best to adjust, so he read the script several times, and Rick's sentence "If necessary, you can put forward your own opinions, as if you were the beginning", even if it didn't work, at least you tried", persuaded Hugo.

On the other hand, it is also because Hugo thinks that Tom and Hanks are indeed more suitable for this script than him, and once the invitation is sent to Tom, Rick will understand this. Tom and Hugo are both actors under Rick, and when they are both meat, it is natural that the more suitable person wins. So there was no need to rush Hugo's refusal.

After sending Rick away, Joseph gets busy - reading the script is the most important job he has as a manager, and he is now on his shoulders.

Generally speaking, the agent collects projects and recommends them to actors, and he is the first gatekeeper, but due to the nature of the agent's interests first, and the fact that he has multiple actors to take care of at the same time, his gatekeeping is generally rough; It is then up to the manager to make and judge, he is the second gatekeeper, he will attach all the scripts submitted by the agent to his own opinions, and then hand them over to the actors.

If the actor trusts the manager enough, or if he and the manager's tastes are exactly the same, then he will make decisions directly based on the manager's judgment; If the actor has his own opinions, or if he wants to judge for himself, then he reads the script himself and makes a decision based on the opinions of the manager.

Therefore, an excellent agent and an excellent manager actually play a pivotal role in the actor's career.

However, at present, Rick is more special, he attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with Hugo, and the cooperation between the two has just begun, and it is still in the stage of exploring each other. Most agents contact the actors by phone or through the manager.

Due to the huge success of "", Hugo's next work has received a lot of attention, and both Rick and Joseph have taken it 100% seriously, which also leads to Joseph having a lot of scripts to read carefully recently, but he is even busier than Hugo who is busy in the recording studio.

After sending Joseph and Rick away, Hugo briefly flipped through the script of "Apollo L3".

Hugo felt that the script was actually a very wonderful thing, how did the writers come up with these stories, and how did they conceive these plots? And why does the same story take on a different look in the pen of different screenwriters, for example, the story of "Schindler's List" has been revised for ten years, and the "vulgar" story itself has no characteristics but is glowing under the pen of Quentin Tarantino? And if a true story, a comic, or a book is adapted into a movie, how to condense it, and how to connect it? And most importantly, how is the connotation of the script reflected?

The job of a screenwriter sounds so magical and full of incredibleness, of course, there is a more difficult position as a director than the job of a screenwriter, and there is a big difference between a screenwriter and a director.

The screenwriter's sword work is the process of conceiving the plot of the story, which is more flat; The director's sword work is the process of telling the story, which is more three-dimensional, from the set, pattern to the picture, from dialogue, expression to performance. To give an example that is not entirely correct, the script is the book, the director is the storyteller, the story is wonderful but the storyteller may not be able to tell it well, the audience loves to listen to it or not, in addition to the quality of the story, the storyteller's ability is also very important. Of course, if the story itself is bad, then even the storyteller's ability will not be able to turn the tide.

In a way, many directors are good screenwriters, but screenwriters who become directors full-time are not necessarily successful.

But at the end of the day, a great work starts with an excellent script.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but start to wander, in the current works he has starred in, in fact, the importance of the script has been greatly exerted, for example, the description of the lieutenant colonel in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" is delicate to the soul, for example, "Sleepless in Seattle" tells an ordinary and even incredible story gently and movingly, such as "" A seemingly simple story is told **, and "vulgar" is to open up a completely different storytelling technique.

Look at the "Apollo L3" in your hand, why is this script considered to be stable? Because it simply states that classic historical event, but in the process of storytelling, it ignores the shaping of the character, so that the character is reduced to a face? But the question is, if you want to change it, how should you change it? Is just adding a few details enough? Apparently not.

When Hugo proposed revisions to "", he started from the character itself and put forward some suggestions for polishing, but in fact, there were not many parts that really promoted the script and the plot; And now looking at the "Apollo L3", even if Hugo wants to modify it, he feels that he has no way to start.

Hugo became more and more interested in the role of screenwriter, and he was very curious about where the screenwriter would start if he wanted to make changes to "Apollo L3". Thinking of this, Hugo suddenly remembered why he was meditating here alone, there was a ready-made wise elder by his side who could give him some advice.

Hugo stood up suddenly, and ran down to the second floor with a puff of smoke.

Standing at the door of the second floor, Hugo knocked politely, Ernst and Lechmann did not wait long before coming to open the door, originally he only opened a gap, and his eyes looked impatiently through the crack in the door, but after realizing that it was Hugo, he opened the door, but his mouth still complained impatiently, "What's wrong!" If you come and apologize for the beer bottles in the hallway, then you don't need to, I'm used to it, you young people are so bad, dirty, sloppy, noisy......"

"Ernst, we didn't throw that beer bottle, I've been in the studio lately." Hugo interrupted Ernst's words, but Ernst turned around and stared at Hugo with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't believe it".

Hugo, however, was not at all discouraged, and looked at Ernst with a smile, for it was a scorching summer, and he was alone at home, but he was wearing a white shirt, buttoning all the buttons in a proper manner, and even wearing a tie, and his meticulous appearance made people mistakenly think that he had a dinner party to attend in the evening. The room was still filled with countless books, making the air even hotter, and the whole room was like a steamer.

Hugo opened the door of the room, and then took the initiative to open the window, which provoked Ernst to immediately start scolding, "Hey, young man! Are you crazy?"

Hugo glanced at Ernst helplessly, "Hey, old man! Don't you know it's August? It's at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit today, and if you're still stuffing yourself at home, you're going to get sick sooner or later. When the time comes, you'll faint at home, who knows?" Looking at Ernst's angry eyes, Hugo didn't care at all and glared back, "Don't count on me, I can't possibly know, I have a job, have you forgotten?"

"Who counts on you! Cut, as far as you sing work, I don't think it's worthwhile, you're an actor, an actor! Don't be out of business!" Ernst scolded in a rambling manner, but this situation has long been accustomed to Hugo, who has lived here for more than two years, and Hugo has long known Ernst's personality, which is actually a typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, knife-mouthed tofu heart. In the back of Ernst's heart, he was lonely, the kind of loneliness that no one could understand, which shut him up in this sea of books.

Hugo was a little sympathetic to Ernst, but more still admired, admiring this old man who dedicated his life to the screenwriter, but in his old age, he was abandoned by this circle that likes the new and hates the old, and Hugo is upset for him.

Hugo found his place on the sofa, looked up at Ernst, and held up the script in his hand, "Yes, my singing work is not worth mentioning, so let's talk about your proudest work, I have a script here, you can read it and give a little opinion." ”

"Script? You are crazy! I've long since stopped touching that thing!" Ernst said furiously, but walked to the opposite side of Hugo, sat down directly, and then snatched the script, took it and looked at it from a distance, but after all, he couldn't see it clearly, took out his reading glasses from his shirt pocket, put them on and read, "'Apollo L3'! Who wrote this, the guy who has never heard the name at all." ”

Hugo chuckled, "You've been out of the industry for more than fifteen years, haven't you?" So it's normal for a few new faces to appear that you don't recognize. ”

Ernst scoffed, but did not speak again, but read quietly.

The afternoon sun flowed slowly in the sound of knowing, and the heat in the air seemed to settle down, drifting lazy and bright dust, making time slow down like this. (To be continued.)
