Chapter 2144: Awards Season Pro

Rick temporarily solved the work in his hand, and relaxed his nervousness, and chatted with Hugo about the Super Bowl. As an annual event in the United States, Rick is no exception. He is extremely excited to be able to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show. "So, can I buy tickets first?"

Seeing Rick's rare excitement, Hugo couldn't help but smile, "No." After this sentence, you can see Rick's disappointed expression overflowing between his eyebrows, and Hugo paused. , Then continued, "As far as I know, we have a VIP box."

Rick’s expression suddenly became very weird. He looked at Hugo’s smiling face, and immediately understood what was going on, but after all, joy prevailed, causing him to smile and squeeze hard. He clenched his fists and said, "I can start arranging vacations now." I raised my eyes and looked at Hugo's playful smile, and said helplessly, "You'd better go all out for the halftime show, I'm really looking forward to it. of."

"The pressure is too much and it is easy to play abnormally." Hugo has a calm expression on his face.

Rick couldn't laugh or cry, "After you and Charlize are together, they become more and more funny, does Charlize know?" This made Hugo shrug, noncommittal. "By the way, speaking of Charlize, David also mentioned to me a few days ago, did you plan to shoot a sequel?" The David mentioned here is obviously David Geffen.

"Sequel? What sequel?" Hugo felt confused and did not understand the origin of this sentence.

"The sequel of'Before Sunrise'." Rick quickly replied, "After you finished filming before, didn't you say that if you have the opportunity, you can shoot another sequel to tell the story that happened after that?" "Before Sunrise" was issued by David Investment. "It's not just David. In fact, Kevin also mentioned it to me and was very interested in the sequel."

Hugo chuckled lightly, "It's not just these two, right?" Rick also laughed, which proved Hugo's guess.

"Before Sunrise" won a lot of applause at the beginning. It not only achieved good box office results in the art theaters, but also won the hearts of the audience in the video rental market. Until now, the video rental performance of this film has been achieved. Still very good; at the same time, this work also won the Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Hugo for the first time.

Now Hugo and Charlize have come together in reality. If a sequel is filmed, the market performance of the movie is definitely worth looking forward to. The major Hollywood film companies will certainly not miss this opportunity for hype. A work that was originally ridiculed as "Hugo Career Waterloo" will also have a large number of people willing to shoot a sequel.

Hugo thought for a while, in fact, this is indeed a good idea.

Leaving aside the historical trajectory, after the "before sunrise" story ended, Jesse and Selena returned to their lives and went through different stages. Both of them missed the original agreement and did not really have to leave. Come together. But when the two people met again, their mood, mentality, and psychology had already changed, and the sparks that burst out were bound to no longer be the same. A story told "before sunset" will also interpret the chemical reaction that occurs after love has settled.

More importantly, the situation of Hugo and Charlize has also changed. If you recreate this story, you will definitely have different feelings.

"Maybe, maybe I can try and see. It's a good idea to write a brand new script." Hugo lightly tapped his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. After experiencing "perfectly perfect", " After the two works of "Beautiful Mind", Hugo's understanding of scripts, stories, and characters has developed deeper. If he has the opportunity, it is indeed more in line with his heart to have him write the script himself.

"However, it is estimated that it will not be possible in a short period of time." There is definitely no time in the last two months. Even if there is no tour next year, it will be relatively free after at least April. If the glory is to die and the tour starts again, then creation The script plan must be further delayed.

Rick also nodded in agreement, "Anyway, the initiative is in your hands. Are you still not attending the Golden Globes this year?" There is not much time left before the awards season, although there are still a few weeks before the nomination is announced. But the Golden Globes started to pave the way early, and I hope that Hugo will reappear at the Golden Globes awards ceremony after a lapse of seven years after 1992.

Last year, the Golden Globe Awards awarded the best actor in a musical comedy to Hugo, and then Hugo successfully won the Oscar winner. This is also a rare match in the past few years. It can be seen that the Golden Globes have always been on the objective standpoint of professional authority, seeking to ease the relationship with Hugo-from "L.A. Confidential" to "Trumen's World", the winner of the Golden Globe Awards for two consecutive years. , Is the best proof.

Hugo doesn't have any disgust with the Golden Globe itself. The incident in 1992 has passed, and even the Golden Raspberry Award seems to have been a thing of the last century. But Hugo did not have much desire to attend the Golden Globe Awards, as if the Golden Globes in January had never been on his schedule.

"It should... uh, no." Hugo is not very sure. "If the album can be recorded before Christmas, then come and see it. If it is too late, let's focus all your energy on the album. "In fact, the same has been true for Hugo in the past few years. Compared with the Golden Globes, there are always more important things to deal with, so the Golden Globes are always abandoned.

Rick didn't care too much, nodded to show that he understood, and did not continue to inquire.

As shown by the topics discussed by Rick and Hugo, as November approaches, the smoke of the awards season is spreading bit by bit. Compared with last year, major film companies are still groping this year, but at least they are no longer a smear. The schedule of the screenings, the itinerary planning of publicity, etc., are beginning to have traces to follow.

Many people refer to the "Breaking Inside Story" as this year's "L.A. Confidential".

Subsequently, two high-profile works debuted successively. The "Green Mile" gathered Tom Hanks, Frank De Labont, and others. It was adapted from Stephen King's novel, which caused a lot of attention during the preparatory stage. After discussion, after the release, it won a round of applause, and it is believed that there is hope to replicate the miracle of "Shawshank's Redemption" back then.

Immediately afterwards, "The Rules of Cider House (The... Rules also showed a hot posture. This work is starring Toby Maguire and Charlize Theron, and the director relied on it ten years ago."

The Demon", but because the post-editing has not been satisfactory, it was delayed to release this year.

After a crowd of works that were waiting for the opportunity to hit the major award ceremonies were released, the major film companies have also announced the list of movies to be released in December.

Gold medal director Milos Foreman and Kim Carey brought a biographical film "Man on the Moon (Man. On. The. to be released on December 20th, focusing on the death of cancer in 1984 The legendary comedy star Andy Kaufman (Andy Kaufman) can see that they are eager to replicate the miracle of comedy created by "Trumen's World" last year.

Unconsciously, the noise and noise of the awards season has gradually begun to appear order. Major film companies have begun to make strategic arrangements in order to impact the major awards ceremonies, which has brought the film industry into a new stage of development.

In this turbulent wave, the "beautiful mind" quietly struck, unintentionally becoming the newcomer of the awards season, triggering a round of heated discussions.
