"You say, after tonight, will another group of excellent practitioners be eliminated?" David's deep voice, with a hint of aftertaste, a hint of deep thought, sounded softly in Hugo's ears.

This kind of David made Hugo a little strange - he was always used to David's grinning appearance, as if he could strategize between talking and laughing, but now David's eyebrows could clearly feel the traces of time, and all the irritability and noise slowly precipitated.

Following David's line of sight, Hugo saw James Cameron surrounded by people. Although Hugo also made history tonight, and the focus is not inferior to James, if you strictly compare, Hugo is still slightly inferior, as James's arrogant acceptance speech said, "I am the king of the world".

Even if you can't get used to James's arrogance and arrogance, even if you don't like the bombardment of commercial movies, and even if you hate James's self-righteousness that no one wants, no one can deny that the glorious ascent of "Titanic" has shaken the entire film industry. This great achievement alone is enough to put James on a par with industry bigwigs like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

Therefore, now more than a third of the crowd is gathered around James, and the noisy scene almost makes people think that this is a box office celebration of "Titanic", not Oscar night.

Hugo instantly understood the meaning of David's words, Ernst was eliminated after the change of dynasty of the "male and female thieves", and gradually faded out of people's sight; And now that the changes of the times led by the "Titanic" have come, does it mean that another group of practitioners will be eliminated?

For example, Steven Spielberg, for example, David Geffen, for example, George Lucas.

David's question made Hugo ponder, in fact, according to the trajectory of history, it is true.

Although after entering the 21st century, directors such as Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese still have a large number of works to launch, and the old Martin only fulfilled his Oscar dream in 2006; But in fact, this group of directors who have created the pinnacle are indeed gradually fading out of people's sight.

George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Ron Howard and others are more likely to move behind the scenes and become active in the film field as producers; Directors such as Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton and others still maintain their production numbers and then repeatedly occupy the spotlight during the awards season, but more often than not, they are also away from the spotlight and focus on their own work.

Even James Cameron, who made history, went further and further on the road of creation, creating an "Avatar" in ten years, which shocked the world, but more often he completely disappeared from the public eye.

Correspondingly, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson, David Fincher, Lee. Ann, J. J。 Abrams and other new generation directors began to occupy the public eye, and at the same time, the wave of new directors set off by Marvel has become the mainstream of society - iron-clad comic book adaptations, and a flowing list of directors.

In this sense, history has indeed changed again. The paradigm change of the entire film production industry has led to the directors who have reached the peak of their creativity in the 30 years since the birth of the "male and female thieves", and their influence has gradually been weakened, and the new generation of blood has robbed them of their light.

But, are they really eliminated? Of course not. Different from thirty years ago, this time the change is that technology has changed the industry, allowing movies to enter another direction of development, but in fact, behind the more and more brilliant box office, movies are becoming more and more impetuous, and the number of real classic movies is getting smaller and smaller, and those really good directors are still tirelessly innovating.

David's question is actually Hugo's most curious question at the moment. This time, the historical development trajectory has deviated a little, so what kind of turbulent waves will the development of the film industry cause in the future? Will Marvel movies still reign supreme, will Disney still turn "Star Wars" into another money printing machine, will Universal Pictures completely lose its competitiveness without anime adaptations, and can DreamWorks become a decisive force in changing the market......

"Then let's wait and see." Hugo whispered, not knowing whether he was answering David or telling himself. After the words fell, it fell into silence, and it was like an isolated paradise in the noisy and extraordinary party scene, which made people enjoy a rare moment of peace.

However, this tranquility was soon shattered, and Barry Meyer appeared in front of Hugo with joy on his face and celebrated Hugo's victory tonight - although the Warner Bros. "L.A. Confidential" fell short at the last moment, but it was still a victory, compared to the "Titanic's" $200 million achievement, the cost of "L.A. Confidential" was only a quarter of its cost, but it was completely comparable. Barry's mood couldn't be happier.

Although not as good as James, Hugo is still a sought-after figure tonight, especially for major film studios, Hugo's value as a producer has exceeded his value as an actor, and he can bring more and more benefits to the film company.

After all, actors can only shoot one work at a time, but the producers are different, as if Hugo was filming "Truman's World" while remotely monitoring the "perfect" production. This is true of these top bigwigs, including Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. Therefore, now Hugo's status in the hearts of film companies has increased instead of decreasing.

On the surface, James is the focus of attention tonight, and the "Titanic" is even more beautiful, but the layman can only understand these when he looks at the excitement.

Barry and Hugo chatted for a while, and then the top executives of the Writers Guild of America, the Producers Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild all came over to congratulate Hugo. Unlike the major film production companies, these union managers do not have any overlap of interests with Hugo, but as a trade union, they need more people with strong appeal to become union spokespeople, negotiate with major companies on behalf of the union, and protect the interests of the union.

For example, Tom Hanks now has a very high status in the Screen Actors Guild, if not to the height of a hundred echoes, but it is not far away.

Now, too, the unions are seeing Hugo's influence – it stands to reason that Hugo is only 30 years old this year and is not yet married, so his influence is limited, if it is far-reaching. It's like Tom Cruise, who has been in Hollywood for nearly a decade and has a good reputation in the Screen Actors Guild, but is far from reaching the heights of Hanks. However, Hugo has become an exception, he now has the ability to rely on his own strength to compete with major film companies, and the union will naturally not let it go.

Expanding his influence among the trade unions also means that Hugo has really entered the center of power in the whole of Hollywood, from the production company to the industry practitioners, from the industry practitioners to the reverse track of the production company, and at the same time, there is also the horizontal track of the entire Hollywood to other industries, Hugo has stood in the middle of the torrent.

It is worth mentioning that the Writers Guild of America is obviously very enthusiastic about Hugo? - not only the influence of the script "Perfect", nor the two works "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect" once again emphasize the importance of the screenwriter - many people have mentioned Ernst to Hugo, which Hugo did not expect. In his acceptance speech, Hugo mentioned Ernst only temporarily, but he did not expect to achieve incredible results, this is the first time Hugo felt Ernst's influence on Hollywood - the irritable, irritable, lonely and lonely old man.

This is also the most ironic part of Vanity Fair, honor, fame, fame, these invisible things, after the disappearance of the spotlight, can not bring any improvement to life, but it makes countless people crazy, even at all to chase it, and finally have nothing to do, alone.

At many moments like this, Hugo would feel empty and confused, and then look down at the ground on which his feet were treading on it, and that solid feeling reminded him of where he was, to stand firmly, not to be carried away by this tide of fame and fortune, to go with the flow.

raised his head and searched around, but Hugo didn't see Leonardo's figure, it is estimated that he hid in a corner, but he didn't know if Leonardo was hiding from the crowd, or if he fell into alcohol and drugs in a corner. Surrounded by products and women, Hugo couldn't help but be a little worried.

Instead, I saw Charlize - after stunning the audience tonight, Charlize has managed to stand out among the actresses of the "X Generation", ahead of Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock and others, and was the first to receive an Oscar statuette, which is a huge success for Charlize. So, tonight she also became the focus of the audience.

Charlize was originally very beautiful, but tonight's clever smile was even more charming, and many people came forward to talk to each other.

Looking at Charlize who was surrounded by people, Hugo's steps couldn't help but step forward, walking towards Charlize, the two people were separated by half of the hall, and their eyes unexpectedly met in the air, which made both of them stunned for a moment, just looking at each other quietly, laughter and noise quietly stopped in their ears, and the dazzling light made everything perfect and moving.
