The air-conditioned and refrigerated air in the VIP box precipitated all the heat, and looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, you can see the still surging waves of cheering people on the scene, but the heat is blocked by a glass side, forming two worlds. It's a strange feeling, and I see a heat wave in my eyes, but my skin is so cold that goosebumps appear, as if winter and summer are coexisting through the glass.

But Hugo didn't like it. He still hopes to be able to watch the game with the fans on the spot, sweat together, shout together, and go crazy together.

However, at this time, Hugo did not have time to think about it, nor did he have time to tell Sù Marc "I am ready to leave", because the appearance of Luc and Besson disrupted Hugo's rhythm.

When people mention French directors, they may not know how to make a choice for a while because there are too many candidates, and France, known as the back garden, has given birth to countless great directors, Robert I. Bresson), Jean-Luc and Godard (Jean-Luc. Godard), Jean One (Jean. Renoir), Henry-George-Cruzot, Aaron-Resnais. Resnais), François-Truffaut. truffaut)…… Every director has a place in the history of cinema.

France is one of the earliest birthplaces of cinema, both the early avant-garde and the later New Wave, which have had a strong influence on cinema around the world, and is now the country with the largest number of art cinemas in the world.

Among these directors, Luc and Besson can definitely rank in the top five of French directors in terms of international influence.

In fact, Luc is the most high-profile and controversial director in the eyes of professional film critics in France, and many critics do not like him. Because Luc's "(the. fifth。 element)"、“(thessehe。 story。 of。 joan。 of。 ARC and other works were great success at the box office, but their artistry was criticized and considered a negative example of surrender in France. Although Luc's work has always attracted a lot of attention internationally, it is difficult to find a recognizant in France, which has forced Luc to travel to Hollywood in search of friends.

Therefore, Luc has become an outlier among French directors, with huge international influence but no support in France, and it is difficult for Luc to rank among the top 30 among the great directors in the eyes of major French film critics; But in the international market, Luc can often be found in the top 10 of France's most famous directors. , is a typical example of this.

When Luc first debuted, he insisted that he only made ten films in his life, and he pursued quality rather than quantity. Although Luc later broke his oath that he had insisted on for nearly 30 years, it is undeniable that his works are still not many, and most of them are high-quality, from the earliest famous "blue sea and blue sky" in the film industry. grand。 Bleu)", "Nikita", and then "This killer is not too cold" that made him famous in history, can be called a masterpiece.

One of the most controversial directors of all time, in Hugo's eyes, is a slightly fat, bearded, and somewhat obscene sloppy uncle, but in fact, Luc is only eight years older than Hugo, and he is not yet forty, but he looks at least fifty years old.

When he saw Luc, Hugo's first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was surprise, and then he watched this uncle walk up with a lewd smile on his face, and Mark took the initiative to introduce the two people, "Hugo, this is Luc Besson, a director from France; Luc, this is Hugo. "

It is worth noting that Mark deliberately emphasized Luc's identity as a director, but did not specify Hugo's identity. This shows that Luc knows Hugo, and he wants Hugo to know that Luc is the director. But why? Is it because Luc is going to work with Columbia Pictures on a film and wants Hugo to play the leading role?

It's so unreliable. Because "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is a 1994 work, although Hugo doesn't remember the release time, but at this time l994 is already halfway through, and now it must have been filmed; And Luc's next work seems to be a few years later, because Hugo remembers that after "this killer is not too cold" became internationally famous, Luc disappeared and devoted himself to preparing for the next work.

"I've seen 'Life and Death', it's a wonderful movie." Luc's smiling eyes always had a hint of the cunning of a lewd uncle, which made Yuguo want to laugh.

Hugo knows that Luc has always had a special obsession with the element of "woman", not to mention the black history of his five marriages, but to say that the protagonist of all his films must have a special woman, either a girl with a gun or a girl-type woman, and the strong contrast between their delicate appearance and gun violence is an important component of his film aesthetics, which is perfectly interpreted in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and "Nikita".

But the problem is that he is a man, and Luc still looks at himself with such eyes, which really makes people cry and laugh. Add to that Luc's heavily accented English, and it's even more joyful.

"I've always wanted to make a movie about racing, you know, speed, speed, speed, with infinite passion, adrenaline rush......" Luc said with a smile without noticing the meaning of Hugo's smile.

Hugo nodded his chin vigorously, "I believe, absolutely!" Produced by Luc, the "Taxi" series is one of the most successful box office films in history.

Hugo and Luc were talking here, but Joseph was talking to Mark, and there were not only Mark and Luc in the VIP box, but there were also a group of other people, but they just greeted Hugo for a while, and there was no further conversation, and Mark led Joseph away, obviously, they intended to let Hugo and Luc communicate.

Hugo noticed Joseph's small movements, and gradually understood, and he suddenly began to wonder about their plans today.

Luc laughed and talked a lot about racing, but this was really not Hugo's strong point, so most of the time Luc was talking and Hugo was cooperating. Luc is also a human spirit, he quickly noticed this situation, and as soon as the conversation changed, he actually arrived on the "Road to Glory", "I heard that your band's tour ended yesterday. "

"Wow, we're touring with such a huge influence? People in the film industry are paying attention?" Hugo suddenly remembered that Mark was calling Henry, not Rick, could there be any connection here?

Hugo's slightly exaggerated words made Luc laugh, "Yes, in fact, one of our crew members watched your concert in Seattle and came back full of praise, which attracted my attention." You know, it's not uncommon for an actor to be a great singer at the same time, but it's not very common. "

"I know that people who don't do their jobs are always easy to get noticed." Hugo's white expression made Luc laugh again.

"No, I don't think so." Luc shook his head, "Actually, I've heard that your band is excellent, and one of the best in America right now.

"。

"Shhhhhh Hugo hurriedly whispered, the subtext is that if other rock fans hear it, he will probably be torn apart. Showing humility in a mocking way, this time even the others standing next to it chuckled.

Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe, Luc continued, "What is the song you performed at the Encore concert in Seattle called?" That song is really wonderful. After Luc said this, he did not get Hugo's response immediately, because Hugo frowned slightly and looked at Luc with interest.

Luc simply spread out the rest of the words and said, "This is the case, I just finished shooting a movie, and the post-production zuò is also coming to an end, but now there is a lack of a theme song, we have heard your band's song in Seattle, it will definitely be very suitable, so I would like to ask if you would like to use this song as the theme song of our movie." "

Hugo looked at Luc and then at Mark, who was still smiling as if he didn't know anything, but it was clear that things were clear.

Luc Besson's just-completed film will be released in the United States, most likely by Columbia Pictures. Luc felt that the song of Glory to Death was suitable as the theme song of the movie, and Mark just wanted to distance himself from Hugo, maybe they had planned other more suitable occasions, but they didn't want to meet by chance at the Rose Bowl today, so they simply invited Hugo to the VIP box. Kill two birds with one stone.

"So, you've heard our songs?" Hugo didn't agree in a hurry, because the situation is actually still a little confused, just now Luc clearly said that a staff member attended the Seattle concert and heard it, and now the sound source has not been leaked, so how does Luc know that the song is suitable?

Luc smiled and nodded, "Yes, actually, after hearing this song, our staff members and Eric Iserra, who was in charge of the original sword music. Serra), we got in touch with EMI Records and got the audition master. "

I see. But things are certainly not that simple, in a few words, the simplest is why they skipped Henry to contact EMI Records directly, or EMI Records did not mention it to Henry after handing over the master tape to the other party, there are many twists and turns.

However, these trivial things can be discussed later, Hugo nodded his chin slightly to indicate that he understood, "This is the honor of our band, we never thought that our music could be favored by a big director, which is really rare." Hugo politely said, "Excuse me, what ......is the movie to be released this time?" (To be continued).
