1949. Chapter 1949 1949 Trajectory changes
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended in a noise, thanks to the outstanding performance of the three works "Titanic", "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect", the list of winners did not cause too much commotion, but people still can't help but wonder: After being absent from the Golden Globes for five consecutive years, will Hugo be able to see Hugo at the Golden Globes in the future?
The whole of Hollywood is restless, and with the advancement of time, the "Titanic" is approaching the height of history little by little, inciting all the enthusiasm in people's bodies; The two works "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" have also gained more and more recognition in the process of time precipitation, and have become a weapon for conservative filmmakers to fight against computer special effects, which has been pushed to a peak after the Golden Globe Awards.
Unconsciously, 1997 has become another watershed in the past two decades of films: popcorn movies represented by computer special effects, traditional drama films represented by solid retro scripts, these two factions have launched a fierce confrontation, even more sensational than the rise of "vulgarity" in 1994, because this is Hollywood has once again ushered in a historical turning point since the "male and female thieves".
In the history that Hugo is familiar with, the "Los Angeles Secrets" have not reached today's heights, the momentum of "perfection" is not strong enough, and the traditional academics have not been able to unite the two, let alone shake the historical footsteps of the "Titanic". But now Hugo, the little butterfly, has changed the trajectory of history slightly.
The momentum of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" has even surpassed the "Titanic", which has not been able to break the box office record before the end of January, and has become the best magic weapon for conservatives in the entire North American market.
But in the same way, the "Titanic" is not alone, the glorious achievements of last year's "Independence Day" have become an important weight, and now the two have joined forces to promote history, which also makes the weight of the wheel of history to a higher level. Even if the "Titanic" has not been able to reach enough heights for the time being, it still does not affect the unity of the reformists.
This time, no one can predict the outcome of the confrontation between the traditionalists and the reformists, because the gap is weaker, the battle situation is more anxious, and the situation is more complicated. The unpredictability of the future also makes life more colorful.
Interestingly, both the traditionalists and the reformists relied on Hugo. This is also the most profound embodiment of Hugo's ubiquitous influence on the entire film industry today. In fact, Hugo's growth to where he is today is not only due to his personal efforts, but also to the attitude of traditionalism and reformism.
From the rise of "vulgarity" to the social influence of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Prisoners", Hugo has always been in the whirlpool of controversy, and the traditionalists have ignored Hugo's efforts, and even rejected Hugo because of Hugo's glittering "Golden Raspberry Award"; Reformists have also questioned the success of Independence Day, especially the hesitation of major studios, which gave not only Twentieth Century Fox a chance, but also Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia Pictures. In the whirlpool of support, opposition, and support, Hugo gradually came to the present step by step, with the great success of "Independence Day" and "Los Angeles Secrets", with the birth of "Titanic" and "Perfect", history has finally come to a real fork in the road.
History on the left and history on the right, but no one knows where the film industry is going. It's as if the "male and female thieves" were rejected by 17 directors and made history of their own, which directly led to the elimination of more than 50% of professionals in the industry - Ernst Lechmann was one of them.
It is precisely because of the importance of such a crossroads in history that the choice of the Golden Globe Awards' cake has not become the object of criticism, but on the contrary, it has become a successful example of balance. This not only leaves Michael breathing room, but also gives a hint of the future direction of the Golden Globe awards.
So, in the end, Hugo relied on his own weak strength to change history and let the development of the film industry enter a new field; Or did history overshadow Hugo's personal power with its indestructible crushing power, allowing the Ballon d'Or to win a valuable hint as it lingered? This may always be an unanswerable conundrum, but it is also the charm of history's unpredictability.
Due to the powerful influence of historical moments, and because Hugo attracted most of the attention, even the dilemma of the Golden Globes was temporarily forgotten, let alone an actor who quietly disappeared. So at the celebration party after the Golden Globe Awards, no one noticed Leonardo's disappearance at all, and by the time everyone reacted, Leonardo had already left Los Angeles and quietly returned to Lanches to enjoy a rare leisure vacation.
After the Golden Globe Awards, the whole of Hollywood has set off a bloody storm, and the debate between traditionalists and reformists is gradually reaching its peak, not only professionals, but also the decision-makers of major production companies, Wall Street investors, and all industry practitioners are expressing their opinions, because this will be a crossroads that will change everyone's life, and no one can be an exception.
No one wants to be a loser like Ernst Lechmann's group, who has been eliminated by history.
All these debates may not stop for a long time to come, or more accurately, they will continue to be at the heart of the debate in the film industry after 20 years of the familiar ones known to Hugo, but the wheels of history will not stop because of these debates, and what should have happened will still happen.
I don't know what the future will be, maybe the 70th Oscars can give an authoritative opinion to industry insiders - at least represent the direction of more than 5,000 professional opinions within the industry, is it the "Titanic" or the "Los Angeles Secret"? The confrontation between "L.A. Confidential", "Perfection", and "Soul Catcher" is the victory of the traditionalists, and the unity is great; Or is it the bad news of the traditionalists, with internal attrition leading to a crushing defeat?
The award ceremony on March 23 will provide the answer.
Until then, though, the debate will continue. It's just that these arguments have nothing to do with Hugo and Leonardo, who are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A week ago, Hugo announced that he would not be attending the 40th Grammy Awards, and the other four members of the Glory to Death also said that they would be absent from the Grammys. This is undoubtedly regrettable news for the whole of Hollywood.
Not long ago, the 40th Grammys announced the list of nominees, and without releasing any new albums, Glory to Death still won four nominations with the album "Storm", once again continuing the momentum of rock 'n' roll.
"It's been a long road. Long。 Way。 To。 Go)" was nominated for Best Single of the Year and Best Production of the Year, and whether Hugo can win the Best Production of the Year award for four consecutive years has also become the biggest attraction of the four comprehensive awards. In addition to this, the song was also nominated for Best Rock Song and will compete with Jakob Dylan, who came out of nowhere last year. Dylan) - he is the son of the famous Bob Dylan.
In addition, "Waiting. On。 The。 World。 To。 Change)" also won a nomination for Best Pop Band Group.
Relying on these two singles alone, Glory to Death has once again become a regular on the Grammys, continuing last year's strong streak of eight Gramophone trophies. Whether or not he wins the award, Glory to Death has engraved its name in history.
The absence of the Grammys is not sad news for the glory to death, on the contrary, the "twisted tour" is in full swing out of the category of an awards ceremony, and is breaking through the thorns on the road of history, creating a new world of rock and roll. This is a dream that the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, and many others have not been able to achieve.
The same is true of Hugo, who is in paradise, he is more concerned about the progress of the "twisted tour" than the Grammys, and he has also personally visited Cheyenne City many times to meet with the band members, and has met the Pearl Sauce Band, the Alice Prisoners Band, the Cohen Band, the Radiohead Band, the Goatskin Band, the Nine Inch Nail Band, etc., etc., but these usually bohemian bands are united because of the "twisted tour", forming a powerful force and moving forward together.
Hugo woke up a little late today, because last night he tried to write a plan for his strengths and weaknesses for the future festivals, and handed it to his teammates, using his limited power to make the "twisted tour" more useful. I thought it should not be a difficult task, but Hugo was busy until the sky was dark, and he still couldn't organize countless information into an outline, and finally went to sleep in a daze.
When they got up, Leonardo and Adam were not at home, and even without asking, Hugo knew that the two of them must have gone to the racecourse again, Leonardo has recently been fascinated by the wide and flat racecourse, and likes the feeling of galloping freely in that unconstrained vast space, so he will go to the racecourse with Adam almost every morning for half an hour.
Hugo took out the sandwich from the fridge and nibbled on it as he walked towards the convenience store - he was the only one at home, and the task of opening the store naturally fell to him. Skillfully nodding and greeting the townspeople, this kind of calm and slow life can indeed make people quiet, different from the leisurely and lazy vacation, the strong atmosphere of life here can gradually calm down, that is the real tranquility.
"Hey, handsome, do you have time?" A shout came from the direction of the gas station, which made Hugo look back, and then he was stunned, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.
