Although Hugo didn't nod his head to take the work, Rick knew that getting Hugo to nod before he saw the script was that Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin weren't enough to get their names on.

However, this is the second time since "Mission Impossible" that Hugo has expressed a positive response to large-investment commercial films, which is the first step to success for Rick. Rick knew that Hugo still took his opinion, and that was a good thing. Therefore, Rick also secretly prayed in his heart that this project, which is currently called "The End of the World", should be worth such a lot of effort by Kevin.

Although Sergio said that a meeting between Roland, Dean and Hugo could be arranged, in Rick's opinion, they were not strong enough at all, and Hugo did not need to come forward in person, he would talk about it himself, and if necessary, it would not be too late to arrange for them to meet after the script was given to Hugo.

After sending Rick away, Hugo suddenly remembered that "Independence Day" can be called Will Smith's top work, 1995's "Jedi Men" made Will successfully enter the big screen from the small screen, and then "Independence Day" and "Men in Black" made him the first real black box office superstar, and then started his ten-year career as a top box office superstar, known as "The Emperor of History", and Denzel Washington supported a piece of black Hollywood actors.

The "Men in Black" project Steven talked to Hugo twice, and then the script was directly rewritten and there is no news so far, and the "Independence Day" project changed course, and Twentieth Century Fox locked Hugo as the male protagonist from the beginning - of course, provided that the "end of the world" mentioned by Rick and the "Independence Day" that Hugo thought were the same project.

In fact, "Independence Day" chose a black man like Will as the male lead, and there is no so-called political correctness, because the film's foothold is to fight aliens - more accurately, Americans against aliens. Hugo remembers that at the beginning of the preparation of this project, the actor who was set was also white, but before the official actor was selected, Will came into sight, so they chose the fast-rising Will.

It's just that, as a black actor, Will played the leading role in "Independence Day", which still has a huge appeal to black audiences, especially the great cause of black and white people joining forces to save the earth, which makes American audiences addicted, which also provides weight for the box office success of "Independence Day" - although it is not sure how much weight the black factor has.

If Hugo plays the role of "Independence Day", Hugo's strong appeal will be against the appeal of Shangwei to save the earth as a black man, and I don't know what will happen to the box office results of "Independence Day" at that time, whether it will rise or fall.

What is even more curious is whether Will will have an impact on his future achievements if he has not been able to star in "Independence Day". Previously, Hugo replaced Tom Hanks in "Sleepless in Seattle" and Keanu Reeves in "Life and Death", and in the end, the wheel of history returned to orbit in a different way, and Tom and Keanu were still hugely successful. But Will is different, and it is not so easy for black actors to make a name for themselves in Hollywood.

However, these are just conjectures, and the situation has not been determined yet, so we will wait until Rick goes to meet with Roland.

Hugo originally thought that he would not accept new works until at least after the end of this year's Oscars, but now it seems that Hollywood opportunities are available almost every day, and things often go beyond plan. But think about it carefully, Hugo also took a break for more than three months this time, and originally wanted to use this time to think about the third album of Glory to Death, but unfortunately the progress is still not big, and the music bottleneck is still stuck So, if there is really a suitable work, it is not impossible to work again.

Thinking of this, Hugo looked down at the large box left by Rick on the ground, let out a long breath, hesitated, sat up cross-legged, and began to rummage through the box.

Since Hugo is home alone today, he flips the script a lot more casually, and he doesn't need to do it in front of others to flip the script and read the script, he still has an impression of most of the scripts, so knowing the pros and cons of these works, he can make a judgment directly.

As Rick said, in fact, there are all kinds of scripts handed to Hugo now, almost all kinds of themes and scales, and almost all roles are rushed to Hugo, although this can be seen that Hollywood currently trusts and affirms Hugo, at least after Hugo continuously filmed the works of murderers such as "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk", they still affirmed Hugo's diversity and absolute ability, but this still made Hugo a little crying and laughing.

Warner Bros.'s "Pride Four Brothers" script is impressively in it, obviously hoping that Hugo and Barry Levinson can work together again, and with the cast of Kevin Bakken and Robert De Niro, the intention to cooperate is very firm.

In fact, this work is not famous, but Hugo knows it, of course, not because the actor is Brad Pitt, but because this work is quite profound in the discussion of morality and society, the plot is similar to the revenge story of "The Count of Monte Cristo", but the style is closer to the combination of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" - the refraction of social darkness, the discussion of the intolerance of the law and the tolerance of the law.

Objectively speaking, the script of "The Four Brothers of Pride" is very good, and the story is deep enough, even more profound than "Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", and the depth of excavation is also more thought-provoking. But it's a pity that Barry's technique lacks novelty, and the lack of detail outline, the quality of the finished product is greatly reduced, which also makes many highlights in the plot be missed, and at the same time, the direct director is limited in the actor's playing space, which is really a pity.

I don't want to admit it, but the truth is that Barry's inspiration and sense of touch are gradually disappearing after "Rain Man".

However, the reason why Hugo put the script in the part where he didn't want to take over the filming was not because of Barry, but because the theme of "The Four Brothers of Pride" is similar to "The Seven Deadly Sins", and it is heavier, and the actor is the role of a lawyer, Hugo does not want to take over this kind of work for a short time.

In addition, Warner Bros. actually handed over the draft script of "Batman and Robin", saying that it was a draft, but in fact it was just a page of plot synopsis, and the script did not come out at all, which made Hugo find it very interesting.

"Batman and Robin" proposed a super high cost of $125 million in the draft stage, apparently trying to create a box office giant crocodile, but unfortunately it backfired, this work became the worst of the Batman series, not only had a bad reputation, it was infamy, it almost became a shameful record, and the box office was a disaster, although the book cost was not lost, but in fact, it made Warner Bros. lose money and almost fainted, and the direct guide was that Warner Bros. shelved the Batman seriesIt wasn't until Christopher Nolan's appearance ten years later that Batman blossomed again.

However, the Warner Brothers will hand the "Batman and Robin" script to Hugo, in fact, this is also a signal, since the "007" series, "Mission Impossible" and Hugo have "scandals", and now Hollywood is also connecting Hugo and superheroes step by step, including this "Independence Day" is also, they tried to borrow Hugo's good image and detonate more heavyweight bombs.

After the 21st century, after the "Spider-Man" series became a magic weapon to attract money, the works of Marvel and DC, the two major comic book giants, became the most powerful box office cash cow in the next decade.

Maybe Hugo starred in "Batman and Robin" to know the outcome. Unfortunately, Hugo has no plans to do so, at least not yet.

Other than that, Warner Bros.'s script is lackluster, with "tin. cup)" such a romantic comedy, there is "the highest crisis (executive. decision)" and "Martians play with the earth. attacks)" such a sword-like thriller comedy and so on, the themes are very diverse, but Hugo is not very interested.

Columbia Pictures, not knowing if it was a little burned out, or a little tired of Hugo's pickiness, submitted eight scripts, but the quality was very mediocre, and there was even a "two-way mirror." mirror。 has。 two。 faces)" such a bright work, which is completely useless except for the great Barbra Streisand who directed and acted herself, and the role is not suitable for Hugo - let Hugo and Barbra fall in love? The age gap is incomprehensible.

However, Columbia Pictures still has a heavyweight work, which shows that they still attach importance to Hugo, and in addition to quantity, the quality has not completely lost its level.

"Mr. Sweetheart" can definitely be called a big name, this work can be said to be one of the representatives of the high quality of film works in the 90s, and like "Forrest Gump", this work is a box office and award harvest, such a situation is not often seen in the 21st century - the Oscars seem to be allergic to commercial films, and it is difficult for works that are too outstanding at the box office to achieve outstanding results in the eyes of the old scholars of the academy.

"Mr. Sweetheart" not only continued Tom Cruise's soaring box office, making him the first film in film history to exceed 100 million at the box office - now it should be the second in film history, but also allowed Tom to get his second Oscar nomination, although he did not win the award in the end, "Mr. Sweetheart" has become another masterpiece recognized by the academy by Tom, who has repeatedly achieved success in commercial films.

However, except for "Mr. Sweetheart", there seems to be something that can enter Hugo's eyes. I just don't know if the quality of the work has declined, or if Hugo's vision has become more critical.
