There is an opportunity to make a comeback in 562

Roland noticed the joy in Hugo's eyes, although Hugo was obviously wary, but he was still relatively young after all, not as good as Roland, an old fritter who had been rolling in the circle for nearly twenty years, so Roland keenly captured this detail. But Roland was not too happy, and only confirmed the correctness of his strategy.

In Hollywood circles, Roland will not use the adjective "small" as a prefix, he will use "limited" to describe it. In Hollywood, there are hundreds or thousands of trivial messages every day, and almost no one can bury their heads in these messages all day - processing, really smart people, will sort out the information they need at useful moments, and then come up with answers.

Recently, there have been rumors in the circle that Hugo and his agent Joseph have a conflict, which is undoubtedly an offensive opportunity for the agent.

Hugo's potential has been showing its power, just like the NBA or NFL annual rookie pick, a rising star who has clearly proven himself in the college league to attract the attention of the league's best teams.

Other agents fancy Hugo because of the box office success of "Sleepless in Seattle", the storm of public opinion in "Schindler's List", and the rock and roll revolution brought about by glory to death...... This qiē has given Hugo the potential to become a top superstar, which makes people rush to it.

But in Roland's view, there are two most commendable characteristics of Hugo, the first is that he is talented, although there is no shortage of artists in the entertainment industry who rely on acquired efforts to achieve themselves, but talent is indeed a rare innate condition, and the most rare thing is that he has both acting skills and appearance, which can definitely be said to be one in a million.

In Roland's memory, among the actors he admires, there are very few who have both kinds of talents, Malone and Brando, River and Phoenix, James and Dean can be regarded as each, but unfortunately, such actors are often jealous of talents and die young. River's death at the end of October is undoubtedly a huge regret.

Secondly, Hugo has a tenacity. Brando, Phoenix, Dean and other talented actors often have unruly personalities, they are always easy to get lost in their talents, and the pursuit of the spotlight will make them constantly want to escape, so that their talents are often not fully developed, and there are only a handful of brilliant people like Marlon and Brando, which is also the most embarrassing part. But Hugo has a tenacity and tenacity that does not fit his age.

Compared with the first point, Roland admires Hugo's second point more. Because the first day is innate, and the second day is an acquired character.

In such a situation, Roland noticed the contradiction between Hugo and Joseph. At present, the source of the contradiction between the two people in the circle is that Hugo wants to change his agent - Joseph's ability is limited after all, which makes the agents in the circle see the opportunity, and Roland is naturally no exception, and at present, Hugo's former agent Lang Yi Meyer and Rick Rosen, who is close to Hugo, are the most promising, but Roland has noticed a few small details.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was once infinitely close to Hugo, but in the end it passed by; "Vulgarity" also locked Hugo, but he couldn't make a decision; Joseph's works for Hugo include such large-scale productions as "Future Water World" and "Cut Throat Island"; Finally, there are rumors in the circle about Hugo's high salary.

This led Roland to conclude that the conflict between Hugo and Joseph was not an external force, but a problem with the two people's ideas about the future development of actors.

In fact, from an objective point of view, Joseph's idea is taken for granted, agents all hope that their actors can shoot "orthodox" works, what is called orthodoxy, either the box office is good, or the big production zuò, or the big director, independent zuò is always not so popular, and Hugo is currently in a stage of rapid development, and he can't make any mistakes. If Roland had been in Joseph's place, he would have made the same judgment.

But now Roland is not a party, but a third party, a bystander. So Roland saw the situation clearly, although there were only two known scripts of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar", Roland still heard a lot of news, for example, Hugo once put forward very pertinent opinions for revising the "The Shawshank Redemption" script; For example, Quentin's first favorite actor was not Hugo at all, but John Travolta, who has declined in recent years, and eventually Quentin will change his mind because of the spark that burst out during his conversation with Hugo.

This led Roland to conclude that Hugo had a keen sense of observation of works and characters, so Roland was well prepared, he thought he could impress Hugo, and then seized the opportunity to dig Hugo's gold mine into an innovative artist agency.

The reason why other agents are not taking action at the moment is because they are all worried about Lang Meyer and Rick Rosen, but the innovative artist agency, a company that relied on scorpions to cross the river and start its business, has no scruples at all, which gives Roland a head start.

Roland sensed Hugo's intelligible joy, but instead of waiting for Hugo's answer, he said seemingly casually, "Still, if you're interested in the script, I think Woody will definitely ask for an audition, you know, he has a unique taste for each of his films." ”

It's ostensibly teasing Woody, but it's actually saying, "I can arrange for you to meet if you want." Obviously, this "I" refers to Roland, and it is also the focus of the whole sentence.

"I had a conversation with Stanley Kubrick some time ago. Kubrick) was also working on a project while he was eating, but there was no definite news on it anytime soon, and he seemed to be enjoying his recent seclusion. Roland said as if chattering, but to the surprise of both Hugo and Quentin.

Stanley Kubrick, perhaps one of the most talented directors in the history of cinema and one of the most famous directors to be ignored by the Oscars, left an impressive legacy for the entire film industry.

"2001: A Space Odyssey (2001:a.) space。 Odyssey), A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Barry. LYA)", Dr. Strangelove (Dr. Stranger). strangelove)”…… In the seventy-one years of Stanley's life, he only contributed thirteen full-fledged directorial works, but almost every one of them can become classics, and he is considered by many to be the greatest director in history.

Stanley is a director who cannot be measured by awards or box office, because almost every one of his films is the originator of a genre film, with a personality, unique, sharp, and sharp style, which is often incompatible with the era in which the film was launched, and it is difficult to win awards or box office recognition, but with the passage of time, the greatness of his works will gradually be verified: countless young people have been influenced by Stanley to become a director, and the spiritual culture generated by Stanley's works has radiated to every corner. James Cameron, David Finci (David. Fincher), the Coen brothers, Sam Mendes (Samndes), Paul - Thomas - Paul Anderson. thomas。 anderson)…… These famous names all became directors because they were shocked by the Stanley and Kubrick films, and they even volunteered to call themselves "Kubrick disciples". That's where Stanley's work is really powerful.

Even in 2014, "2001: A Space Odyssey ......", "A Clockwork Orange", "The Shining", and "Lolita" are still absolute classics, including Hugo himself was greatly influenced by Stanley, and "A Clockwork Orange" is still one of his best movies.

Hugo had to admire, Roland was really amazing! The influence from "A Clockwork Orange" can be deeply felt in the blood of the band Glory to Death, and the music, style, and spirit of the band can actually be influenced by the Stanley Kubrick movie. Even though Hugo repeatedly made himself cautious and vigilant, when he heard the name of "Stanley Kubrick ......", his heart couldn't help but tremble.

You must know that the current Hugo is no longer the ignorant young man after the Golden Raspberry Award, he has already been reborn now, but he is beginning to control his feelings and get excited. Hugo, in particular, knew that Stanley was a person who did not like to socialize, and that he always communicated with other people by phone and fax, and that Roland was able to eat with Stanley all the time, which was a great thing.

Not only Hugo, but Quentin, who was sitting next to him, couldn't bear it anymore, "Really? Stanley is going to go out to make a movie again?" Although Stanley is not Quentin's favorite director, Stanley's shadow can be seen in his works, such as "Reservoir Dogs", where some scenes are "fully metal-clad". jacket)"; And "Kill Bill" shows traces of "A Clockwork Orange".

Roland turned to look at Quentin and said with a smile, "He has two proposals in the pipeline, but who knows when he'll choose to start filming." ”

Stanley hasn't had any work since 1987's "Full Metal Jacket", and it's fair to say that the great director has lived a reclusive life, with countless of his loyal fans enthusiastically awaiting the director's new release.

Hearing Roland's words, Hugo immediately knew that Stanley currently had two scripts, one was his posthumous work "Eyes." "One is a science fiction work that he has conceived for a long time" artificial intelligence (a. i。 Later, this work was brought to the big screen by Steven Spielberg, fulfilling Stanley's last wish.

Although Roland was talking to Quentin, his eyes were catching Hugo's movements, and he could see that Hugo's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth were clearly written with excitement and excitement, which made Roland's confidence rise again, and today's events really developed as expected, which is really good!

It seems that convincing Hugo to join an innovative artist agency does not seem to be a big problem.
