In the face of Hugo's straightforwardness, Robert did not panic at all, but laughed lightly, "As I said earlier, a good movie always needs an excellent story. And a good story at least makes the movie a great starting point, doesn't it? ”

Rob looked at Hugo pointedly, not only echoing the conversation he had just had with Hugo, but also hinting at Hugo's acceptance speech when he received the award for Best Original Screenplay. It can be seen that since Robert and Hugo met today, they have almost done everything step by step.

This only made Hugo even more curious: what is the work that actually made Robert spend so much energy. Was it because Michael Eisner had Robert make a military order, or was it because ...... What other particular reasons?

"So, you have absolute confidence in this script?" Hugo's sentence should be an interrogative sentence, but what he said was categorical, almost an affirmative sentence with sighs.

Robert chuckled, but did not answer, but picked up his champagne glass and took a sip of champagne. This seemed to be a test of Hugo's patience - fortunately, Hugo, who had gone through countless winds and waves, had the urge to speak, but he still suppressed his thoughts, and was equally quiet, quietly waiting.

After a while, Robert slowed down his tone and spoke in a calm state, "Hugo, I have always believed that family affection is always the most important, followed by friendship, and finally love. What do you think? The tone that gradually calmed down was not as sparkling as the brief conversation just now, as if he had forgotten the topic of the movie, and it was just two ordinary friends chatting.

Hugo turned his head to look at Robert, pursed his lips slightly, then lowered his head, sketched a shallow smile, exhaled a long breath from the wing of his nose, and slowly shook his head. Hugo knew that Robert's question didn't need him to answer at all, because Robert's question contained the answer.

Although Hugo was never willing to talk about his private life in any public setting, those who really knew Hugo could see that Hugo never forgot his father and his friends in all his acceptance speeches. On the contrary, even during Hugo's relationship with Cameron, he rarely deliberately mentioned each other - of course, partly because Hugo was reluctant to show affection in public, but it is undeniable that Hugo had a scale in his heart.

What's more, no one will forget that when the reporter provoked Adam, Hugo showed unprecedented toughness under the rage, and that kind of imminent anger is almost unbearable for anyone.

Love, affection, friendship. This is the most basic and primitive emotion of human beings, and everyone will have their own measure in their hearts, maybe all three are equally important, but the order is bound to be slightly different. And Hugo's answer is not difficult for careful people to guess. Robert's answer is the correct answer.

At the beginning, Kevin Pence took advantage of Hugo's emphasis on friendship and approached Endeavour Elite Agency step by step, and now even though Twentieth Century Fox is temporarily out of embarrassment and does not cooperate directly with Hugo, their comprehensive cooperation with Endeavor Elite Agency has taken the lead; Tim Robbins also relied on the power of friendship to make Hugo choose the former between "Death Row Walk" and "Away from Las Vegas", and then defeated the latter in a head-to-head duel to win Hugo's first Oscar.

Now, Robert has sacrificed the card again, which makes Hugo laugh a little. Although he knew that being in his position made it difficult to have privacy in itself, just like Steven Spielberg, his family, his children, his friends could all be the objects of their exploitation. At least, Robert is not in direct contact with Adam now, which is not a compromise. It was because Hugo understood this, so although he was helpless, he didn't get angry, he could only chuckle and shake his head.

Robert really didn't need Hugo to answer the question, he showed a gentle smile, and then said, "Actually, I don't think the movie 'The Shining' is perfect," this seemingly incompatible remark made Hugo raise his head again, "I think Kubrick's shot is too restrained, too calm." What do you think? ”

Hugo frowned slightly, as if he was a little surprised that Robert actually criticized the classic "The Shining" in front of him. In fact, if Hugo wants to regain the initiative, he only needs to say "Then do you think your script this time is more perfect than 'The Shining'", and Robert's advantage can be cut by half. Because purely from the script, the script of "The Shining" tends to be perfect.

But as Robert said, "The Shining" is not perfect, and there is not enough ink about the "deterioration of feelings" between the characters in the movie, but more due to the fact that the ghosts of the hotel control the judgment of the protagonist, thus leading to tragedy, which makes the emotional degradation too abrupt, and seriously dilutes the discussion of "love separation" in the original book, which should be the essence of the existence of those terrifying souls.

To put it simply, Stanley Kubrick's biggest shortcoming lies in his delicate depiction of emotions, including family, love and friendship. In the original book of "The Shining", there are delicate and profound descriptions and excavations of the appearance of ghosts, as well as the gradual separation of love between the two protagonists, and the final collapse of the male protagonist, which is also the core of the sublimation of the fear of "The Shining". But it is indeed a pity that the movie version weakens or even dilutes the depiction of this aspect.

Hugo looked into Robert's inquisitive eyes, "So, you're saying 'Rebecca'." "This classic film directed by Alfred Hitchcock is not a horror movie in the strict sense of the word, but more of a thriller and suspense movie, in which the suspense of the relationship between the characters is even more amazing. This is also a response to Robert's point of departure.

Robert groaned and shook his head, "I'd rather say it's the emotional version of 'The Shining'." ”

Hugo couldn't hold back for a moment, and burst out laughing. An emotional version of the Shining? What the hell is this, "people and ghosts are not over"? This was so joyful that Hugo had to raise his hand and gesture, "Sorry, please forgive my faux pas." ”

However, Robert didn't care at all, and took the initiative to continue, "Hugo, I have a ridiculous question, but what if ...... I'm just saying what if -- what would you do if your father told you that he could see ghosts? Robert's words made Hugo smile and look away in some surprise, "Or, more accurately, if you told your father that you could see the ghost, what would he do?" What should you do? ”

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth has completely disappeared, and there is a faint hint of brilliance in those amber eyes, and there is a storm in his heart.

Robert thought that his speech had successfully attracted Hugo's attention, so he was not suspicious at all, and continued, "I have such a script in my hand now, I hope that you can play the leading role and take over the production of the film, if necessary, I also need you to discuss the script with the screenwriter and make some changes to the script." ”

Robert spoke calmly, and said the real purpose - although Hugo and Robert knew that this was the core of the conversation in the first place. In this story, a little boy who is only eight years old, thinks he can see ghosts - that's true, he can see ghosts, but no one understands him, and even if he tells his mother, she just thinks she's talking nonsense as a child. In desperation, her mother can only invite a professional child psychologist to help the child, but for adults, the child's words are obviously not credible, and as a psychologist, he must gain the trust of the child, otherwise he will not be able to carry out his work......"

Hugo completely froze in place, squinting slightly at Robert in front of him, but there was already a storm in his mind. Not because of Robert's words, but because of the script Robert tells - a classic indeed!

"This is a very interesting story, and we hope that the focus of the story can start from family affection, and use a 'love' to maintain the whole story and promote the whole story." Robert said confidently, echoing what he had just said about Ernst, and he looked at the look on Hugo's face and knew that today's work had been eighty percent successful, "I would like to invite you to play the role of a child psychiatrist now......" Robert's words were still unhurried, but Hugo was already in his own thoughts.

"The sixth sense of the supernatural (The. Sixth。 Sense)", the work Robert is talking about is this work called "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural". Among the few horror movies in Hugo's viewing list, "The Sixth Sense" is undoubtedly Hugo's favorite work, even surpassing classic masterpieces such as "The Shining" and "Psycho".

Not because it's better or better, but because it's the most touching and genuine emotion that, as Robert says, is the core reason why the "sixth sense" is so good. Hugo never imagined that the work that Robert had planned for so long was actually the "sixth sense of the supernatural", and the inner excitement and excitement were like countless butterflies in the chest, fluttering their wings at the same time!

Can "The Supernatural Sixth Sense" really challenge the status of "The Shining" in film history? Is the "supernatural sixth sense" really more perfect than the "Shining"? Apparently not necessarily so. But no one can deny that "The Supernatural Sixth Sense", like "The Shining", is a wonderful horror movie, and it is a classic masterpiece that deserves to be recorded in history!
