Man is a very contradictory animal. Too many choices are also troublesome, and no choice is also troublesome. Because too many choices mean that every choice is risky. Naturally, it needs to be measured and considered. Often the so-called deliberate consideration will make the problem more and more complicated; but on the other hand, no choice means no way to retreat and force yourself. In a corner, the anxiety and troubles in the predicament also made everything bitter.

But the fact is that having no choice means breaking the boat. As long as you resist the pressure, you can achieve unexpected results and see the moon through the clouds; too many choices can easily arouse the greed and desire in the human heart. Hope, always hope to find a perfect choice, so as to get more, "not willing to give up, reluctant to give up", so many people are broken.

This is the case with Hugo. After the Golden Raspberry Award, he was forced to the edge of the cliff. He had no choice. Whenever he encountered an audition opportunity, he had to work hard to grasp it and approach his full strength. He was not qualified to choose. "Knowing women" does not seem to be the right choice in the eyes of others at all, but in the face of a lasting battle, Hugo has blazed a trail.

Now, Hugo has so many choices in his hands. Ten of the more than twenty scripts have been selected. After another round of elimination, there are still four scripts left. Which one to choose? Which one to discard? They all look right, but they all look wrong.

There is no absolute right choice, only the one that suits you best. Hugo has always known this clearly, but when he really encounters a problem, he still inevitably hesitates. This is the self-contradiction of people. Everyone understands the truth, but not every time it can be done step by step.

"Twelve Monkeys", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Mission Impossible", and "Break into Death Island", these four scripts, if according to the current situation of Endeavour's elite brokerage company, including Rick's expectations, in fact "ten "Two monkeys" should be eliminated first.

"Twelve Monkeys" is too niche and too unique. After the release, the box office results were not satisfactory. The film critics are not uncommon. Compared with the film critics, this work is really a classic or a video release. After that, the charm bloomed in the audience's word of mouth.

The situation in this work is very similar to "Before Sunrise", or more accurately, very similar to "Shawshank's Redemption". It is also the audience's pursuit that makes the movie a classic, and the main character has a test of acting skills, but no matter from which point of view, "Twelve Monkeys" is one size smaller than "Shawshank's Redemption". Missing "Shawshank's Redemption" is only a pity, so is the missing "Twelve Monkeys".

It is purely Hugo's personal preference to keep the "twelve monkeys".

Then, after Hugo has successively filmed "Pulp Fiction" and "Before Sunrise", and faced with the pressure of the agent circle's remuneration, it is a wise choice to give up "Twelve Monkeys".

Among the remaining three scripts, the attributes of "Brave to Death Island" are very clear: a commercial popcorn movie, this work is actually a typical representative of Michael Bay's early work, and the "Transformers" series also continued this Style, dazzling sports footage, sharp editing style, hot special effects scenes, sensational explosion scenes, abuse of slow motion, abuse of wide-angle, abuse of explosion.

Prior to "pearl.", these characteristics of Michael Bay can be regarded as a beautiful landscape in Hollywood, opening up a new route for commercial blockbusters. Although film critics will not praise him, they have all given them. He is sure. However, he relied on these three axes to enter the world, so that many people had visual fatigue. From 1995 to 2014, he bombed, which also made the reputation of Michael's works go from bad to worse.

But I have to admit that Michael has a way to sell at the box office, and his simple and crude three-handed approach allows the audience to have a pleasant viewing effect. This is also an ability. Therefore, the major film companies are still willing to trust Michael, so the audience is still willing to walk into the movie theater, so people call him "selling copies."

Hugo likes the work "Brave to Death Island" very much, although he doesn't like "Transformers"-because the plot is so brutal that I can't bear to look directly at it, but Michael’s early series of works range from "Jedi Men" to "Courage to Death Island", and then to "Peerless Tribulation (, these popcorn movies make watching movies a kind of enjoyment.

What's more, the "Brave to Death Island" gathered three superstars, although it is not comparable to the tight duel between "Pilots of Fire" Rial Pacino and Robert De Niro, but it also has a different flavor. Therefore, Hugo kept the script.

"Break into Death Island" invested 70 million US dollars, which is considered to be a big production. However, because the actors are all big names, Disney pays Hugo relatively cautiously. The initial proposal is 8 million US dollars, but it is still negotiable. Rick doesn’t mind this, because the film is currently in talks with Sean Connery. If Sean nods and agrees to play, then even if Hugo pays 8 million dollars to play, media reporters estimate it’s hard to say anything— —When working with such top big names, it is very reasonable for actors to take the initiative to lower their pay.

But objectively speaking, this work has no test of acting skills, and the characterization is even paler and weaker. If Hugo plays, it is estimated to be competing with Nicholas Cage for the same role-or Ed Harris’s villain is also an option, but from Disney’s attitude, they hope to borrow Hugo’s positive influence. They are certainly not willing to "waste" Hugo's appeal on the role of the villain.

This is Disney.

It is also a commercial popcorn movie. A choice must be made between "Break into Death Island" and "Mission Impossible". Compared with the former, the advantage of the latter lies in the protagonist Ethan Hunter. There is still room for the role to play, especially in the first and second parts of the series. The plot has a small degree of portrayal of Ethan's personality and heart-of course this is not the point.

Choose to cooperate with Sean in "Breathtaking Island"? Or choose to become a lonely hero in "Mission: Impossible" and replace his friend Tom Cruise in the role of an agent that he has always liked?

This choice is very difficult.

Choose one of the two. If you must choose, Hugo should choose "Mission Impossible". It is not a question of correctness, but a question of his personal preference. But Hugo guessed that no matter what choice he makes, Rick will try his best to fight for "Break into Death Island" and "Mission Impossible". If both succeed, it is the best, and then Hugo will do it. Make the final choice; but if any link does not fit, at least to ensure that one project succeeds, this is the best solution.

Assuming to proceed according to Hugo's plan, then he must choose between "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins". This is a difficult problem, an unsolvable problem.

"Mission Impossible" is an absolute masterpiece of popcorn commercial movies, while "The Seven Deadly Sins" is an independent classic with full of personality. From a certain point of view, the "Seven Deadly Sins" are actually quite similar to "Pulp Fiction". It is not about the subject matter or style, but about the positioning in the entire market. They are all independent works, and they are also different from the mainstream. The very different styles of the market are also tricky works that large film companies are unwilling to take over, but the two works are also works that won a good reputation, and the works that also performed well in the box office are also deeply impressed in the long history. The branded work, and more importantly, is also the second work of the two great directors-and achieved great success.

However, "Seven Deadly Sins" has one advantage over "Pulp Fiction", that is, New Line Film Company is willing to pay Hugo US$10 million in remuneration. Although it is not 15 million, it is acceptable to Rick. The bottom line.

So, is it "Mission Impossible" or "Seven Deadly Sins"? This is a difficult choice, no matter which work you choose, you will not fail, and no matter which work you choose, Hugo will not regret it.

From this point of view, of the four scripts that Hugo finally left, only "Twelve Monkeys" was the first to be out. There are still three scripts competing. Obviously, Hugo has only one person, and he can only choose one.

This is really a trouble of happiness, Hugo has already begun to feel his brain hurt. But taking a step back, Hugo's troubles belong to troubles. He doesn't actually need to make a decision right away, just let it go and see what happens in the end. The worst-case scenario is that the bamboo basket is completely empty, but Rick and Hugo will obviously avoid this from happening, and other than that, no matter which work they end up in, it is worthy of joy.

After Rick left all the scripts~www.readwn.com~ During this time Joseph, Samora and Hugo began to read the scripts at home. Not only them, but Carl, Alex, and Charlize also began to read them. Scripts-because scripts are everywhere, just like their casual reading.

They didn't have a clear idea about Hugo's work for the time being. Instead, Carl found a good proposal for Charlize, "Sense and Emotion" and "Seven Deadly Sins."

At present, Charlize still keeps her eyes on niche movies. She is not in a hurry to improve her reputation. She wants to polish her acting skills in low-cost movies, so the role is always the first element of her consideration. After "Before Sunrise" was finished, Charlize had been looking for a suitable role. Thanks to the recent good momentum of "Before Sunrise", Carl's plan to find a suitable script for her went very smoothly, but unfortunately no suitable role was found for the time being. Script.

But here in Hugo, Carl has a windfall. Hugo hasn't even started talking to the director and producer. Instead, Carl took Charlize to see the producer first, which really made Hugo dumbfounded.

But Hugo didn’t wait long. As the hottest actor in Hollywood, Rick’s work went very smoothly. Paramount actively found Hugo, but the people who met Hugo let him Hugo was very surprised, it was Steven Spielberg!
