After saying that, Robert raised the champagne glass in his hand, gestured to Hugo, and then without waiting for Hugo's response, he turned around and took a step.

Hugo stood still and did not move, just quietly watching the back of Robert leaving.

Hugo wasn't good at these intrigues, it wasn't his domain; At the same time, he lacks a sense of the big picture, and it is often difficult to stand outside the whole game to examine the meaning of each move. More often than not, these jobs were given to Joseph and Rick. But that doesn't mean Hugo didn't know anything.

Robert was clearly prepared today, taking every step of the way, even if the plan was disrupted by Hugo's first attack, Robert still let things go according to plan. Hugo, of course, could have turned away, ignored it, and regained the initiative; But Hugo also knew that this was not how things worked, and that his avoidance would not solve the problem, on the contrary, he should follow along, figure out what Robert was planning, and then hold the decision firmly in the palm of his hand.

If it is really Disney who wants to cooperate with Hugo on a project, then all of Robert's strategies are actually just foreshadowing, and what can really move Hugo is the script. Both Hugo and Robert knew this all too well.

So, even if Hugo understands that he is now being led by the nose by Robert, he should follow. What's more, Hugo's curiosity was indeed aroused, and he was really curious about what kind of work Robert's words full of meaning would lead to.

With a long exhale, Hugo put the champagne in his hand on the table next to him, and then took a step towards the balcony.

Pushing open the wooden door of the floor-to-ceiling window, a gust of wind swept in, washing away the warmth of the room, and instantly making the air cold, but at the same time, it was also scattered by the staggered and warm words behind him, and the whole world was quiet, as if it were two completely different spaces, the stars outside the balcony and the lights of thousands of homes extending on the horizon complemented each other, and there was a thrilling beauty that swayed wantonly under the dark night.

"It's easy to overlook the scenery around you, and many times, just a door away can see a completely different landscape." Robert held a champagne glass, pretending to be profound, and after finishing speaking, he really couldn't help laughing, and he broke the unfathomable atmosphere just now, and then turned his head to look at Hugo, "I originally thought that this sentence would be very appropriate, but I found out that I am not Rimbaud." ”

Hugo was amused by Robert's honesty and took a step forward, "It's a bit out of place, but ...... What you say is the truth. Hugo also raised his head, looking at the starry sky, the shining stars as if they would fall down at any time, the bright starlight at his fingertips made the whole person's spirit lift, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise high.

Robert didn't speak immediately, looking at the scenery in front of him silently, and after a while, his voice came along the wind, "Hugo, have you considered starring in a horror movie?" ”

Horror movies? Hugo didn't expect Robert to mention this genre at all, not only because Disney, as a family-oriented company, has almost nothing to do with horror movies; And because horror movies are a very special theme in the long history of film, people love and hate.

Strictly speaking, "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "L.A. Confidential" are thrillers, not horror movies — at least not pure horror movies. In addition to the "Seven Deadly Sins", there have been a large number of outstanding horror movies in film history, especially in the peak of the forties and fifties, when directors led by Alfred Hitchcock pushed horror movies to the peak of history.

From the "Thirty-Nine Steps (The. 39。 Steps) to the rear window (Rear. From "Psycho" to "Psycho", Alfred almost single-handedly carried forward the horror movie, thus bringing the genre to the top and becoming an integral part of the film industry, and even many moviegoers became loyal fans of horror movies, but the niche was die-hard.

But it is never easy to shoot an excellent horror movie, especially when the film industry gradually develops, the scary methods and psychological thrillers in horror movies have become familiar to the audience, and it has almost become an impossible task to think of maintaining super high quality while being scary. More horror films have become assembly line products, just scary for the sake of scary, piecing together a bunch of scary scenes, and reduced to a "haunted house game" that makes people experience frightens in 90 minutes.

After entering the 80s, the production of horror movies remained high, although there was a "Friday of the 13th. The。 13th)", "Re-Animator", "The. Evil。 Dead)" and other masterpieces, but horror movies have gradually lost their essence and become bloody, bloody adrenaline-pumping works. This makes the audience loss of horror movies more and more serious, and the audience base, which is not too rich, is getting weaker and weaker.

Throughout the long history of cinema so far, only three horror films have been nominated for an Oscar, 1973's "The Exorcist." Exorcist)", Jaws in 1975, The Silence of the Lambs in 1991. In addition to this, Alfred's "North by Northwest", "The Flock of Birds" (The. Birds", Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" and David Fincher's "The Seven Deadly Sins", despite their repeated praise, have not been recognized by the Academy - not even nominated for Best Picture, which is even weaker than comedy.

Many film critics believe that horror movies, like Western movies, road movies, and song and dance movies, will gradually be submerged in the dust of history and become obsolete.

Therefore, now film companies are cautious when investing in horror movies, even if there are "seven deadly sins" type of success, there are also "twelve monkeys" type of eye-catching, but horror movies still have not been able to return to the mainstream again, let alone computer visual effects to trigger the entire Hollywood frenzy.

Hugo turned to look at Robert and smiled teasingly, "Do you mean a work like 'The Seven Deadly Sins'?" ”

Robert couldn't help but pause, as if he was slightly embarrassed that he had forgotten the work "The Seven Deadly Sins", he tilted his head slightly, and then shook his head with a smile, "You can say that, but you can't say that, I mean, horror movies in the traditional sense." ”

"The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Seven Deadly Sins" are actually not horror movies in the strict sense. The former has created an indelible image of a serial killer, even eclipsing the serial killers in real life, and Dr. Hannibal has become a horror symbol; The latter, on the other hand, presents a completely different picture, intricately combining religious complexes, criminality and despair, setting new heights for film noir.

Neither film is a horror movie, but the murder scenes and psychological thrillers in the movies are in no way inferior to real horror works. The same is true of "L.A. Confidential", in fact, it is more of a suspense work, but the suspense in the movie creates a sense of uncertainty that makes people feel the excitement and pleasure of the peak of horror movies again.

So, strictly speaking, what Robert said is not wrong, Hugo did not appear in horror movies.

Hugo thought about it carefully, and nodded slightly in agreement, "So, do you mean a horror movie like 'Psycho', or a horror movie like 'Ghost Play'?" ”

In fact, Hugo's research on horror movies is very scarce, and the only ones he really knows are those classics. Because the quality of horror movies is too uneven, many vulgar and inferior horror movies can't even do the most basic "scary", let alone any plot, what characters, what core, watching those bad horror movies is really a waste of time.

"No, I mean horror movies like 'The Shining.'" Robert's words made Hugo's eyes widen and he looked surprised.

Stanley Kubrick is not a master of horror films, but the film "The Shining" is a work that cannot be ignored in the history of horror films, and Stanley's style in this work is even reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock.

"The Shining" can definitely be called a classic among the horror movie classics, the scene scheduling is like a textbook, the sound effects, framing, shots, atmosphere, and rhythm are extremely exciting, and the character portrayal and psychological excavation are even more memorable. Jack Nicholson relied on this film to truly go down in history. The whole film is almost without too many bloody scenes, but it is pressed step by step until it makes people completely collapse, and the biting horror makes people shudder.

"The Shining" has long been in the top five in the history of classic horror films, and even deserves to be the first place in the minds of many film critics - surpassing the horror master Hitchcock! The Oscars did not give the film any nomination that year, which is still considered a major mistake, and has become the best talking point for countless film critics to ridicule the academy after dinner.

Robert actually compared this work to "The Shining", and the confidence and ambition between his gestures were instantly vented. It's no wonder that Robert has been brewing for so long, planning and then acting, and it is almost when he has no last resort to find Hugo - he sets up a chess game that Hugo can't refuse, and Hugo walks in on his own initiative, making no secret of his ambitions for this horror movie. It's like Kevin Pence was for "Independence Day".

Robert, who has always behaved perfectly, seems a little out of shape at this moment, and his unwavering tone is even a little arrogant, which is not good news. This is because he is too young after all to lose control; Or is this "gaffe" itself part of his plan?

Hugo couldn't help but look at Robert seriously, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Robert, you have succeeded in arousing my curiosity, but you have also succeeded in raising my expectations. ”
