"I've never tried to sell my script, oh, it makes me a little nervous. Hugo tried to speak, but couldn't find an entry point, and sure enough, it wasn't that simple.

David was completely happy, he knew Hugo when he was already "after", his impression of Hugo has always been calm and gentlemanly, gentle and clear, but he has never seen Hugo so young and nervous moments, such Hugo exudes the dry smell of sunshine, David can't help but be a little curious how Hugo persuaded his friend to hand over the role of Amon Goss to him, David knows Steven's troubles better than anyone else.

"You think of it as an audition, as if you were convincing Steven to let you star in his work; Now you're just going to convince me to invest in your work. David said with a smile.

Hugo shook his head slightly, "It's different. Acting is what I'm good at, I can fully immerse myself in a role and let the director feel the power of the role; But the script, no, it's a very different job. Hugo felt like his palms were starting to sweat, and this feeling of tension was really long gone.

David was amused by Hugo's jerkiness, "It's no different. As a screenwriter, all you need is to put in your script, tell me how you understand the script, and how you view the script, as if you were in the role, it's a similar truth. So, tell me how you came up with the idea to create this ...... Uh, the real yàn sex script. ”

Hugo exhaled softly, "Well, that's right. Hugo calmed down and thought for a moment, "At the beginning, it was a simple story, maybe it was an encounter, and then a romantic and beautiful night. ”

"It's a good story, and I'm sure a lot of viewers will enjoy it." David also whistled, causing Hugo to laugh. If it's told overnight. The story of love should indeed be very interesting.

"Yes, I think so too." Hugo couldn't help but relax a little, "But the question is, how should this night be told?" There are so many options and so many ways to do it, and it occurred to me that maybe we could tell the story of this night in detail, so that people can appreciate the process of love, or at least the germination and explosion of passion. ”

David's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded his chin in satisfaction, motioning for Hugo to continue.

If you want to tell about one night. Love, as if there are indeed many, can focus on the hot intersection, or focus on the wind overnight. The aftermath of the flow, or a little more dramatic, tells the story of the various dogs that intersected on this night. But almost all movies seem to ignore how the budding love came about.

If someone is willing to look back on history, they can find that almost all movies ignore the process of love, whether it is love at first sight or long-term love, or friends become lovers, or it is an unexpected burst of passion that rubs sparks, but no matter what way it is, the germination and fermentation of the element of "love" itself are ignored.

The movie prefers to focus on the ambiguity after the budding love. Ambiguous, sweet, romantic, or the problems that arise after love, the hero and heroine use love to overcome difficulties and obstacles, overcome setbacks and difficulties, and finally achieve a perfect happy ending.

Not only because movies need conflicts and ups and downs, they need these fierce contradictions to stimulate and attract audiences; What's more, because of the "sprout of love", this is almost a process that cannot be expressed, what it needs is sudden explosiveness, what it needs is continuous brewing and foreshadowing, what it needs is a strong chemical reaction, and what it needs is a delicate and real outline.

It is almost an impossible task to make the "sprout of love" convincing. Occasionally, you can see such a process in TV dramas, showing the sprout of love delicately and realistically, which requires a long length; But more often than not, even TV series omit this step.

Therefore, Hugo's idea can indeed be said to have a very strong and practical nature, because the idea itself is contrary to the commercial nature of the film industry. But David is more curious about how Hugo wants to express Xiàn and how he will show this process.

"It's like saying, many times people will tell that after two people fall in love at first sight, they have similar interests, and there are endless things to say, and it is dawn when they talk about it, but what do they say?" Hugo also gradually entered the state at this time, and the words naturally began to gush, "How did the thoughts of two people collide together, how do they produce sparks, and how do they attract each other?" This process, from verbal conversation to eye exchange, to eye contact, is actually very delicate. You know, chatting until dawn in one night, which is at least six to eight hours, there are countless topics that can be talked about, so what kind of topic makes two people ignore the passage of time, and what kind of topic makes two strangers gradually understand each other, and then pound their hearts. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Hugo's mouth suddenly outlined a smile, and he recalled this idea again, still feeling very excited, "What would it be like if we concentrated this process in ninety minutes?" ”

"You mean to condense the whole night of two strangers meeting into ninety minutes, in full and detail?" David was surprised, this was really a bold and out-of-the-ordinary idea, "Then the whole movie will be full of dialogue, except dialogue and dialogue!" ”

"yes, that's what I meant." Hugo's amber eyes shone with a sparkle that clearly outlined his excitement and excitement, "Two strangers met unexpectedly on a journey, and in order to pass the time, they chatted, you know, men and women, young and vigorous, sparkling, and soon had chemistry. I thought it was just a momentary passion, but it seemed like an ordinary journey. Yan. Encounter, after a night of wind and snow, they will return to their respective lives. But what is surprising is that with the deepening of the conversation, the collision of ideas makes the two people more excited than the physical collision, so things start to get complicated, and the content of their conversation becomes more and more extensive and deeper. ”

Hugo took a sip of red wine to feel the liquid in his dry throat, and then eagerly continued, "In the end, things actually return to the simple position, that is, they are attracted to each other, and that strong chemical reaction spreads inexorably with the collision of ideas. It's like...... Just like all love, it starts from simple, then gradually becomes complex, and then from complex to simple, towards an ending, love is love, not love is not love, and finally, it remains like this state forever. ”

"Wow." David looked at Hugo who was dancing in front of him, except for such an exclamation, he couldn't say anything, should he say that Hugo was too bold, or should he say that Hugo's thinking was novel and unique?

Hugo always seems to have a sense of novelty, different from his gentle gentlemanly appearance, whether it is glory to death or his style of acting, with a strong personal touch, and the same is true of this script today. David has been rolling in Hollywood for more than 20 years, but it is the first time he has heard such a script, and the strong impact makes David's exclamation involuntarily.

"It's a ...... A script full of surprises. David was looking for a suitable adjective to express his thoughts, but found it difficult to find a match in his head, which made him feel a little funny, "I finally understand why you came to me now." ”

It's not that Steven Spielberg or George Lucas are conservative, on the contrary, both of them are also dared, Steven's "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", and George's "Star Wars" are all works that break the inertia of the industry and create a new genre.

But the problem is that these two people are really lacking in this kind of realistic, literary, and delicately carved theme. Steven's depiction of emotions has always been a weakness, and George is an absolute technical master, relatively speaking, David is indeed the most suitable person.

Hugo did not deny this, he chuckled, "In fact, the reason why I want to write this script is to tell a love story that will happen in real life, without coincidence, no drama, no conflict, just like a stream flowing slowly, naturally spreading the heartbeat." An unforgettable journey is like a fateful emotional collision, although it is a thing that happened overnight between a man and a woman, but it tells the story of time and life. Natural, real, yet moving. ”

Having said this, Hugo also developed enough self-confidence that he was willing to directly praise his own script, sell his script to David, and no longer be shy, because he believed that the script was worth investing in and trying, "so I wrote the script impulsively, even though I didn't know anything about the screenwriting's work." ”

David was amused by Hugo's honesty, "So you need the help of a zuò maker." At this time, David also understood that such a real script, in fact, Hugo himself had enough funds to invest, but Hugo still found himself, because Hugo needed a professional to help take the helm, "I can be your first choice, I must admit, I feel honored at this moment." ”

Hugo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, in fact, it was not at all that he chose to make people and choose investors, David was just the most suitable person among the friends he knew. But now being ridiculed by David has made Hugo shy.

David chuckled, "So, what's the name of this script?" It can't just be called 'a one-night chat' or 'the budding process of love', such a movie can't be sold. “

"No, ......no," Hugo waved his hand, "the movie is called 'Before Sunrise.'" ”.
