320 Dark tide is raging
"Hugo and Lancaster have officially become a member of the crew of 'Schindler's List' and will play an important role in it." This news was further confirmed by the "Hollywood Reporter", that is, the "Los Angeles Times" was correct first-hand, which immediately caused a shock in the whole circle.
Steven and Spielberg have been busy for ten years before and after "Schindler's List", this proposal has been rumored in the circle for a long time, Steven because he attaches too much importance to this script, worried that his ability can not be controlled, the implementation of the proposal was postponed to ten years later, in this decade, the script changed hands to four screenwriters, and it took a full ten years to complete the creation of the script.
When preparing again, Steven tried to find Roman and Wave, Sidney, Wave, Martin, Scorsese, Billy and Wilder to direct, just hoping to truly reproduce the true face of that period of history. This also made the proposal struggle in the early stage, and it took more than a year to never have a clear eyebrow.
After hearing about the Persian ethnic cleansing and the outrageous statements of Holocaust deniers, Steven finally made up his mind and decided to direct "Schindler's List" himself, because neo-Nazism began to rise in the wake of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Steven, as a descendant of Jews, naturally hated it.
After many tosses, "Schindler's List" finally went to 'Bo' Land for on-site filming and officially started filming. This is naturally an explosive 'sex' news for the news media.
On the other hand, from Steven's hesitation and hesitation, from the tossing and turning of several screenwriters and directors before and after, we can see the difficulties of the script "Schindler's List". It's not that the script is bad, but precisely because the story is too 'fine', it has the potential to become a classic, but it is too difficult. Therefore, industry insiders feel that this proposal is a tricky hot potato, and the attitude of major film companies towards it seems a little ambiguous, in the final analysis, it is a sentence: lack of confidence.
Universal Pictures invested only $20 million in a budget to make such a blockbuster that has the potential to become an epic, which is a vote of confidence. You must know that a year ago, "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" cost 10 million, and the entire crew was filmed near New York State, and now the entire "Schindler's List" crew has moved to 'Bo' Lan for on-site shooting, and the budget of 20 million is really stretched.
Therefore, when it was learned that "Schindler's List" was launched, the attitude of the media was quite warm. No, no one said that the film was destined to fail, and no one said for sure that the film would be a success, almost all the media maintained a consistent voice, believing that "this movie is a very strict and heavy subject, and the difficulty of filming the film should not be underestimated, and the director needs to be cautious, and only caution and caution is the correct attitude towards such a theme......" As for the finished film, most of the media are silent and unwilling to talk about it.
Although professional magazines led by "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter" have maintained a neutral attitude and do not have too much inclination towards 'sex', in fact, their remarks themselves are an invisible pressure, and the subtext is that "this is a tightrope walking process, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss...... in other words, the possibility of failure is very large. It's just that the media didn't say it explicitly, but the negative and cautious attitude has already made it clear.
This cautious sentiment almost represents the entire trend of public opinion, as if the "Schindler's List" has just been launched, and the dark clouds hanging over the heads of the Jews during World War II have already swallowed up the entire crew of "Schindler's List".
Because the project "Schindler's List" itself has attracted countless attention, and Steven, as the director, is the object of everyone's discussion, so relatively speaking, the news that Hugo became a member of the crew did not set off too many 'waves', and the "Los Angeles Times", "American Weekly" and other media reported the news in detail, but the response was very limited.
Regarding Hugo's inclusion in "Schindler's List", everyone's general opinion continues the attitude towards the whole film, which is also a matter of course, and everyone is not clear about the future of the film, and the future of the actors in it is naturally unclear
The attitude of the famous film critic Roger Ebert from the "Chicago Sun" is the most representative of "sex", "After experiencing the glory of 'smelling the fragrance' of the female 'person' and 'the heroic wind of the righteous sea', Hugo's recovery momentum in the past few months seems to have been temporarily curbed, and it is difficult for a chick movie like 'Sleepless in Seattle' to bring more help to his career as an actor, and 'Schindler's List' is full of countless possibilities The 'sex' film also brought uncertainty 'sex' to Hugo's big-screen journey this year. ”
Roger I. Ebert did not directly say "Hugo will fail", but expressed his opinion in a worried tone. In fact, the subtext is to say "Hugo is hanging". This uncertainty is not a vague expectation of a positive outcome, but a sense of uneasiness about not knowing when the disaster will fall, which is the general idea of Hugo in the media.
But no one will deny one thing: in the case of negative news, Hugo has relied on his own strength to get two film jobs, which is definitely the best proof of Hugo's strength. Regardless of the film, Nora - Ephron and Steven - Spielberg are two hard bones This is a recognized thing in the circle, relying only on connections to seek an important position, it is not so effective in these two people, especially the latter, Steven is now the top power owner in Hollywood, to impress him, there is only one way to go with hard power.
Therefore, Hugo relied on the hard power of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman' person" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" to fight back, and after experiencing a series of doubts and bumps in the big names, he actually fought back in this gentle but tough way, which was a result that the news media did not expect.
And, for sure, regardless of the future of Schindler's List, the significance of this work to Steven is self-evident, and Hugo's ability to be a part of it will have an unpredictable positive impact on Hugo's future network development.
Regardless of whether the news media's opinion is positive or negative, there is no doubt that the focus falls on the entire "Schindler's List" crew, which has just started on the European continent, has surpassed the upcoming Oscars to become the hottest topic in newspapers and magazines, and Hugo, who was only recently made a laughing stock for the chick movie "Sleepless in Seattle", has once again become the focus.
In the overwhelming news, there is a dark 'tide' that outsiders can't detect, and even many insiders don't realize that the launch of "Schindler's List" actually brought a series of follow-up reactions.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Tracy and Lang and Martin began to move again, although the planning of "Schindler's List" ended in failure, but in fact, it was not the reason why Tracy and others were not strong enough, mainly because Steven attached too much importance to this project, imagine that he worked hard for a project for ten years, and even did not hesitate to love it for the quality of the movie. handed over to a trusted old friend to shoot, and the only scruple was that he ruined the work, which shows Steven's cherishment of "Schindler's List". So it's no surprise that Tracy and others were left out.
In fact, Tracy, Lang and Martin's strength to join forces is indeed not to be underestimated, Tracy can become the producer of many Oscar-nominated films and many box office blockbusters, and his own hard power and connections in the circle are very large, and the tip of the iceberg can be glimpsed from the calculation of Hugo in the past two months.
Therefore, Tracy calmed down, she knew that "Schindler's List" was a thing of the past, and now all she needed to do was to find a work that was enough to compete with "Schindler's List", and it was very likely that she would stop Hugo's rise again in the first place.
Any kind of confrontation can be divided into two types, 'yin' conspiracy and yang conspiracy.
Before the crew of "Schindler's List" set off for "Bo'lan", everything was "yin", and the entanglement and struggle between Hugo and Tracy were hidden under the darkness, and others could not see the ups and downs of the matter at all, but could only see one result: Hugo took over the two scripts of "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List" in the face of turbulent negative news. And in the whole process, no one can detect Tracy's calculations, even Hugo can't find any evidence, because this invisible net that relies on connections and rumors will not leave any evidence, this is Hollywood.
However, after the 'yin' conspiracy fails, then from now on, every qiē is all yang's conspiracy, and the small actions under the 'private' can no longer achieve the goal, so it depends on the hard-fought duel of the work. The so-called yang conspiracy is actually to move with the situation and follow the situation.
In fact, the 'yin' conspiracy is to set a trap, creating something out of nothing, among which the superiority depends on whether the trap is clever or not, but even if the trap is clever, it is the fatal wound in the 'yin' conspiracy, as long as it is seen through or someone comes up with a countermeasure, then the 'yin' conspiracy will be bankrupt. For example, Hugo's confrontation with Anthony at the press conference, for example, Hugo's reliance on his own strength to seize the opportunity created for him by Green-Hill, this is the case.
But this is not the case with Yangmou, Yangmou is transparent and without flaws, in short, it is a hard-fought duel of strength. In the Hollywood environment, the conspiracy is a head-to-head showdown between the two works, the box office and word-of-mouth showdown, the winner will be able to enjoy the next series of chain wins, while the losing side will fall into a quagmire of serial failures.
The reason why Tracy intends to face it head-on is actually to bet that "Schindler's List" will not necessarily succeed, and at the same time bet that her chosen work will win big! This is the same reason that Tracy chose "Schindler's List" to give her all, except that now Tracy has to choose the object of his bet again, and the opponent of the game has become "Schindler's List".
