72_72291 "They just have a good script, come and ask me if I'm interested." Hugo looked around, but did not see the script that the Coen brothers had just left, and looked up at Joseph, who pointed to the layer under the coffee table, and then Hugo saw the thick green cover.

Alex noticed the sight of Hugo and Joseph, bent down and picked up the script, and the cover read, "Murder Green Toe (the. big。 lebowski)", Alex flipped through casually, "You discussed with Rick and decided to make an independent film for your next work?" ”

Before "Independence Day", although Hugo's box office appeal was the best, there were also voices of doubt; But after the "Independence Day", all the voices of disagreement were closed, and people not only did not have any doubts about Hugo's ability to pull the box office, but also admired and admired it.

Therefore, when people mention Hugo's new works, commercial films are undoubtedly the biggest hits, people are eager to see Hugo's achievements in business, and they are also eager to see Hugo appear in light-hearted and exciting film works, not only major film companies, but also many ordinary people have this idea.

But from another point of view, Hugo, as the most outstanding acting representative of the baby boomer generation, is undoubtedly a huge asset in art films and independent films. After the "Death Row Walk", people are looking forward to Hugo's return to give a wonderful performance, so that people can feel the shock on the big screen.

Whether it is a commercial film or an art film has become the focus of everyone's discussion - everyone is giving advice to Hugo, not to mention Hugo and Rick himself, and other outsiders are also expressing their opinions. Alex is no exception.

Seeing that Hugo had left the Coen brothers' script behind, Alex was already gearing up. No one can ignore the Coen brothers' talents, especially the "Ice Storm" that came out of nowhere in February this year, which really brought the Coen brothers into the mainstream eye. Hugo and the Coen brothers collaborated on a film? Just imagining it is enough to get excited.

"No, it's not certain for the time being, Joel and Ethan just think that I will be interested in this script, the actor is very suitable for me, and I have been quite interested in challenging comedy recently, so they came to me." Hugo was very calm and said casually.

Alex's affection was very high, "What do you think?" Are you interested? ”

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, since he got the script of "Murder Green Toes" today, he really didn't have that feeling of excitement, but, why? Joseph saw that Hugo didn't speak, and answered next to him, "Hugo just got the script, and he didn't even read it, how does he know." ”

Alex suddenly realized that he couldn't wait to start flipping through it.

Although Hugo has not read the script, he is no stranger to the story. Is "Murder of Green Toes" the Coen Brothers' best and most famous movie? Obviously not, movies such as "No Country for Old Men" and "Ice Blood Storm" are the real masterpieces of the Coen brothers. But in 2014, the Library of Congress released a list of American national treasure films for the new year, and the name "Murder Green Toes" appeared - alongside it was "Saving Private Ryan".

"Murder of Green Toes" is a classic cult work, which can be said to be a typical representative of cult movies. This work tells the story of the male protagonist Governor because he has the same name as a millionaire, and suffered an inexplicable disaster, and his favorite carpet also suffered from the pond fish, for this carpet, the Governor decided to claim compensation from the millionaire with the same name as himself, but was involved in an intricate kidnapping case.

The film maintains the Coen brothers' usual mix of noir, comedy, mystery, and even slightly pretentious ornamentation, a bit like Franz Kafka's comedy. kafka）。 The film is a mix of allusions, metaphors, and mockery of American political history, but it is very obscure.

After the film's release, it did average box office results in the United States and received mixed reviews upon release, but as time went on, the reviews of the film gradually tended to be positive, thanks to the special characters, fantastic plot, unconventional lines and eclectic soundtrack, and was later recognized as an absolute classic, recognized by several authoritative organizations, including the Library of Congress.

"Murder of Green Toes" is undoubtedly the style of the Coen brothers, taking American black humor to the extreme, and projecting a lot of metaphors in many details, through guò's neat editing and stylized sound effects to control the ups and downs of the plot. Of course, the most important thing is that every character in their story is irreproducible, full of images and distinctive styles.

The Coen brothers are a very special kind of stylized directors, they don't have too much skill in directing actors' performances, but they have excellent ability to control the script and the role, and they are often able to capture the best moments of the actor's interpretation of the role, and then show it in front of the audience. As a result, the Coen brothers' works have produced many wonderful performances, such as "Barton Fink", "Ice Storm", "The Three Kings of Prison Escape". brother，where。 art。 thou）？ "The absent person (the. man。 who。 wasn’t。 There)", "No One to Rely On", "Burning After Reading", "The Man of Yan Sù", "Earth Thunder", "Drunken Country Ballads" and other works have contributed to the acting related nominations of major award ceremonies.

Especially in the early films of the Coen brothers, the noir style incorporates a lot of comedy elements, and there have always been super high requirements for actors.

The Coen brothers locked the male protagonist of "Murder Green Toes" to Hugo, not because of Hugo's current value, but because of Hugo's excellent acting skills and the comedic talent he has hidden in his heart. This is undoubtedly great news for Hugo, not only because the Coen brothers were not deterred by the amazing box office of "Independence Day", but still put Hugo at the top of the list of collaborations - a very difficult decision for independent films with limited budgets and a relaxed creative environment; And because the Coen brothers saw Hugo's idea of acting in comedy.

It stands to reason that Hugo should be extremely excited, but now Hugo's mind is not above the script at all. Is it because the tour is about to start? Is it because he has decided to focus on touring for the time being, and the film is currently on hold? Is it because the script for "Murder of Green Toes" has not yet met Hugo's requirements?

Apparently not.

Thinking back to the situation when the Coen brothers appeared just now, Hugo was actually more or less absent-minded, because Cameron was packing upstairs, which made it difficult for Hugo to concentrate. Hugo knew very well that after Cameron took over the new job this time, the two of them would not have the opportunity to communicate directly for at least two months, which meant that the cold war between the two of them would not end in a short time.

But is that really good? If you just ignore it and let it go, no one knows what will happen in the end, maybe you just break up in two, maybe you just gradually become strangers, maybe you will get back together as if nothing happened...... No one can be sure of anything.

Hugo knew that someone had to bow his head, and Cameron must know that too. Hugo was trying to bow his head just now, so after he saw off the Coen brothers, he blocked Cameron on the path next to the pool, but Cameron didn't give him a chance - or more accurately, Hugo didn't know how to bow his head: the tour was imperative, his apology, his comfort, his explanation could not meet Cameron's request, he could not give up the tour, he also longed for Cameron's understanding, but the two could not communicate.

What exactly does Cameron want? Is it just sweet talk? Or is it your own company? Or is it ...... Your own confession, a sentence of "I love you"? Is it really just that simple? Or are there more profound and complex requirements?

Hugo's head was so occupied by countless thoughts that he couldn't even concentrate on it, and the script of "Murder of Green Toes" excited Hugo, but there was no way to completely divert Hugo's attention. It's a really terrible feeling.

"Hugo, the beginning of this script is so interesting, are you sure you don't want to follow?" Alex had only turned two pages before he was captivated by the script and excitedly shouted to Hugo, "But you're going to be touring for the next six months, don't they know?" Is there really no problem with the schedule? ”

Since the time of the Glory to Death tour was confirmed, although Rick's film contract was still uninterrupted, the major film companies still controlled it a little, more to take out long-term plans to negotiate with Rick, and few people came to directly disturb Hugo, after all, a tour takes six months, and no one can be sure what will happen after six months - at least during this period of the tour, Hugo is absolutely impossible to take on new works.

Hugo's mind was very chaotic, and he didn't hear Alex's words clearly for a while, Joseph obviously felt that Hugo was not in a state today, sighed softly in his heart, and then took the initiative to answer, "Their script is going to start filming in the second half of next year, and now there is only a script, and nothing else, including investment and the like, needs to be planned slowly." ”

"Oh......" Alex reacted directly, the plan for a year later is now out, and it can be seen that the Coen brothers are well prepared, "They must be worried that after Hugo's tour, there will be too many film appointments, and the competition will be fierce at that time, so let's build a good relationship now." ”

Although this is the case, Alex's ridiculous voice always has a little more joy, which makes Hugo finally come back to his senses, and he can't help but shake his head helplessly and pull out a wry smile.

"But, Hugo, do you really have no inclination for new works after the tour?" Alex asks the core question that countless people are insurably curious about
