Adapting the life of John Nash is a very, very difficult task, in fact, it is very difficult to adapt the biography of any real person.

Because it is difficult for a person's life to be shortly contained in 90 minutes or 120 minutes. There are too many things happening in the lives of these characters, so it is difficult for the script to focus on one thing like the original script, and tell the story in a detailed and delicate way, and just telling a story completely is considered a success.

The reason why a biography is called a biography is not only because the whole story contains many major events in the life of the character, but also because even if it focuses on one event, it is necessary to show the major qualities of the character - why does he deserve to be changed into a biography, is it inspiring, is it a legend, is it a great writing, or is it a change in society?

To show this trait, character building is extremely important. This is also the biggest drawback of many biographies - life accounts are strung together and reduced to running accounts or documentaries, and the weight of history or the characteristics of the characters cannot be felt at all in the flashes; Otherwise, it is difficult to find a balance between the narrative of the event and the creation of the characters, telling the important historical position of the event, but ignoring the character carving, and vice versa, often taking care of one or the other.

How to tell the characters themselves and major events together to form a three-dimensional three-dimensional story is the biggest challenge of biography!

John Nash's biography is very difficult to adapt because it does not have a focus, the emergence of game theory is only a very short process, and there is no way to become the core story of the whole movie, and John's illness is very long, up to ten years before and after, and can be extended to about twenty-five years, you can feel the process of John's constant struggle. This makes it extremely difficult to adapt the screenplay.

It can't focus on a major event in their lives, like the biographies of Martin Luther King or Abraham Lincoln, and then extend the cause and effect to construct a story; But it can't be like a running account of boiled water, simply telling John's entire life, countless trivial and small events are connected to form a story.

Mental illness is an entry point that can be used as a point in time, and the "Vanity Fair" interview also gave Hugo a little inspiration, and the love between John and Alicia can be another core idea that builds the whole story. But in practice, it is far from being as simple as it seems.

In the 2001 version of A Beautiful Mind, it was Aziva Gossman who was responsible for adapting the screenplay.

In Aziva's resume, there are good and bad works, he and Joe Schumacher are close friends, and they have collaborated together on many works such as "The Ultimate Witness", "Batman Forever", "Killing Hour", "Batman and Robin", etc., with varying quality. However, Aziva injected great strength into the "Beautiful Mind", mainly due to his upbringing - his parents were both psychotherapists who specialized in treating children with psychological problems, which made him have a deep study of psychological problems, which helped him to complete the "Beautiful Mind" of super high quality.

Hugo was born in classical literature, and his understanding of psychological problems was certainly not as deep as Aziva's, but Hugo himself experienced that kind of pain, so the angle and details may be different. Of course, the most important thing is that it can be seen from the two works "Before Sunrise" and "Perfect" that Hugo has his own unique interpretation of the portrayal of details and the grasp of rhythm, which gives Hugo his own advantages and disadvantages.

What the final adaptation of the script will look like, even Hugo himself can't decide.

Since this is Hugo's first attempt to adapt a screenplay, this is completely different from an original script, because Hugo cannot create a character out of thin air, not for screenwriters, and even more so for actors. So, before he started writing, Hugo began to rummage through a lot of information to investigate the life of John Nash.

But this was a very difficult thing, and Hugo was given a head start at the beginning.

Although John was a world-renowned mathematician, he was not a public figure at all, so it was almost impossible to find footage of his youth. The only material Hugo was able to find the only material that was recorded after the eighties of John's public appearances and scientific seminars - and very rare, and Hugo constantly read Sylvia Nassar's biography of the same name by John Nash, and read all of John's writings.

This is really bitter Hugo. Mathematics and economics are almost heavenly books for Hugo, not to mention comprehension, even reading has problems, he clearly understands the meaning of each word, but the whole article is like an alien text, and he doesn't know what is going on.

In this case, Hugo received the help of Charlize, Joseph, Samora and others, and everyone concentrated on helping Hugo read the material, and then tried to make Hugo understand John's theories through a more vivid and vivid method, so that Hugo had a 1% chance of finding John's thought.

Just as Hugo was preparing for the adaptation of the screenplay, his actions set off waves in Hollywood.

Originally, Hugo's every move was the focus of attention, and the attention has exceeded that of any one person in Hollywood, and his every move may lead to unknown results, which makes people rush to it. If you think about the box office of the three works "L.A. Confidential", "Perfect" and "Truman's World", it is clear at a glance - even more shocking than the box office of "Independence Day" and "Titanic", Hugo seems to have the ability to turn a stone into gold!

Originally, people thought that Hugo would take a little rest and adjust for a period of time recently, which is also Hugo's habit in the past three years, after really standing at the peak, the selection of works is bound to be more cautious, carefully selected and then repeatedly reviewed, only the really wonderful script will be shot, compared to quantity, quality is what Hugo attaches the most importance to.

In the past three years, Hugo has basically only appeared in one work a year, "Independence Day" in 1996, "Los Angeles Confidential" in 1997, and "Truman's World" this year. Just a few days ago, Hugo completed the filming of "The Sixth Sense", which is still in post-production, and it should not be released until next year.

In this way, Hugo will definitely not be in a hurry to continue to accept new works, and even if he does, it will not be in the period of time after the "Sixth Sense" has just been completed. So, people relaxed their vigilance a little, as if Hugo's holiday was also their rare holiday, and even the paparazzi relaxed their vigilance-

This made the incident of the United Methodist Church that day not be exposed, and everyone is still in the dark, only those who attended the rehearsal that day know. However, none of them were willing to mention it: Charlize's friend chose to shut up to protect her, and Mr. Perfect's friend refused to speak up because he didn't want to mention his heartbreak. This matter actually settled down quietly, allowing Hugo and Charlize to win a precious respite.

It can be seen that Hollywood is currently in a state of "relaxation".

But just a few days after the completion of the "Sixth Sense", Hugo's figure suddenly began to get busy, and he also entered various libraries in Los Angeles, Hugo even went to New York in person, stayed at Princeton University for more than a week, and became even busier after coming back, which is really confusing.

Many people began to inquire quietly, wanting to see what kind of medicine Hugo was selling in the gourd during his vacation. But surprisingly, no one heard the news - the employees of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company were at a loss, and the expression of "Isn't Hugo on vacation" made those who came to inquire feel like fools; Those who followed Hugo's journey to find out the truth were even more confused - Hugo was actually asking about the theory of economics and mathematics, and he was particularly interested in game theory.

This...... What's going on?

Could it be that Hugo wants to invest in the stock market and then inject more energy into DreamWorks, does this mean that DreamWorks will make a big move next? However, even if Hugo wanted to break into the stock market, there was no need to inquire into theoretical knowledge. It's unusual, it's so unusual.

The imagination of the uncrowned kings is really laughable, and if Hugo knew what they really thought, he would probably laugh so hard that he couldn't stand up straight; But it is precisely because of the rich imagination of the uncrowned kings that people touch the corner of the truth: is Hugo preparing to make a new movie?

However, at present, the major Hollywood film companies have not moved at all, and even those independent film companies have no special actions. So...... So Hugo is writing a completely new script?

This possibility immediately made Hollywood agitated, even if this possibility was completely chasing after the wind, and there was no evidence to confirm it from the side, but it still made people restless. Hugo's previous two plays won two Oscar nominations and an Oscar statuette, which won almost all the praise for Hugo, so in this case, Hugo's third script written independently is definitely enough to make people's blood boil.

While no one knows how likely this speculation is, even a one percent chance is enough to make some opportunists take a step forward.

So, when Hugo saw Barry Meyer at the door of the library at UCLA, he was not surprised at all, but greeted him with a smile, "Hey, Barry, good afternoon, are you coming to the library to read a book too?" ”

Barry smiled and shook his head, "No, I came here to find you, I bought your whereabouts for fifty dollars from a paparazzi." Rest assured, though, I'm not a stalker. "Plainly and frankly, this is not quite like the usual Barry.
