Of course Hugo knew that Gwyneth Paltrow was the heroine of "The Seven Deadly Sins", and she played the wife of Brad in the movie. Interestingly, during the filming of the movie, Gwyneth was dating Brad, and both of them were lovers both inside and outside the play.

However, the relationship between the two people was very interesting later, and after the two broke up, they were both very exciting.

First, Brad, who got together with Jennifer Aniston, and then he became the world-famous "Missive Three" and Brad and Angelina Jolie got married and had children. The marriage between the two was vigorous. With the painstaking efforts of both parties, they reversed their negative image and became the first couple in Hollywood, making a big fuss.

Then there was Gwyneth, who had a princess disease and a fierce temper, and was well-known throughout the circle. She first broke up with Ben Affleck, and then entered the marriage hall with Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin (Chris Martin). However, the marriage ended after eleven years. Rumors said that it was because Gwyneth had an affair.

Hugo's sight was seen two rounds and turns between David Geffen and Gwyneth. If he remembered correctly, after the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins" confirmed that David was directed, David's first confirmed role was not the three main male characters, but the heroine, and Gwyneth Paltrow was chosen to star in it.

David's words were that he admired Gwyneth's performance in "The Relentless Earth and Loves Heaven". But if Hugo remembered correctly, the most prominent part of this movie was Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid who had just gotten married at the time. Meg came to the crew of "Seattle Night Without Sleeping" after filming this drama.

The pause of lightning, Hugo's mind was full of thoughts, and David finally came to his senses at this moment, hurriedly retracted his eyes from Gwyneth, and looked at Hugo, "What?" and then he was stunned, "Hey, good evening, I'm David Finch."

Now that he was relieved, his self-introduction confirmed Hugo's guess. Hugo stretched out his right hand and introduced himself, "Hugo."

"Of course, of course, I know you are Hugo." David's series of marveling "of course", and he could feel that he was still a little shocked. Then he took a deep breath, took a sip of the champagne in his hand, and then calmed down a little, "So, are you here..."

Obviously, in this private party, David Geffen is a nameless man, and no one cares about his existence.

But Hugo knew that David was the director of the "Seven Deadly Sins". David would appear here today, which means that the new film company is already seriously thinking about the possibility of David's directing. After all, another "David" David Cronenberg has officially rejected their invitation. Maybe it was Cronenberg who recommended Geffen, after all, both of them have a terrifying and thrilling route.

"It's hard to buy a thousand gold, but I knew it before." Just as Martin took Brad and Gwyneth to cover Cronenberg's words, Hugo had already taken the lead.

"I originally wanted to say that I like the 'Alien 3' you filmed, but sorry, I can't deceive myself. I don't like that movie. Maybe many people will say that it is because the script is not good enough. Of course, this is also an important reason. Some people say that there is something wrong with your communication with the producer, but I think your responsibility cannot be shirked. The rhythm and atmosphere are a bit out of control, just like... it's like you are not sure how to shoot." Hugo's words were very direct, and it can even be said to be merciless. This is completely a stranger who ran to you and scolded him. No one would be happy, and David Geffen should not be an exception.

Sure enough, David's face looked a little embarrassed, and his expression was stiff. David was also a director with a very sharp personality. This can be felt from the image style of his works. He will never be stingy with expressing his views and emotions.

But at the same time, David is also a very professional director. His persistence and concentration in his works is very rare. It can even be said to be the scene of the conversation at the beginning of the "social network". He filmed more than 100 pieces just to perfectly present the effect in his mind.

So, when a stranger like Hugo who meets for the first time mercilessly criticizes his work, David's most direct emotion is not anger, but curiosity, "First of all, I don't want to admit that this is my work... Secondly, can you feel the messy picture?"

After the release of "Alien 3", he was almost infamous. There are countless reasons for this. Some people say that the script is bad, some say that the first two are too classic, and some say that the director is too bad. In fact, the main reason is that he had huge differences with the producers during the filming period, so that after the release of the movie, David followed the principle of "not accepting interviews, not making comments, not making director's versions".

Of course, David must also take some responsibility, and he himself knows this.

Hugo shook his head, "It's not just the picture, it should be said that the picture conceived in your mind and the effect presented by the movie are not at the same pace..." Hugo is not a professional director, but he is a competent audience and an outstanding actor. He is now involved in screenwriters, so his insights are very unique and can always inspire more sparks.

David and Hugo chatted for twenty minutes. "Alien 3" was just David's first work. Although the producer's intervention made it difficult for him to start, objectively speaking, he also needed such a conversation to help him improve.

What surprised David was that Hugo's unique and profound understanding of the movie, especially understanding the script as an actor, often refreshed David. This is a crucial part of the director's overall perspective.

"Wow," David did not give this awesomeness, but just sighed deep in his heart. Before that, David heard that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were both impressed by Hugo, and he felt that it was exaggerating. Because he knew how arrogant George was, he was George's neighbor in 1983, and then he also found an errand in George's Light and Magic Industry and participated in the production of "Star Wars" special effects.

But now, David has completely changed his mind. Rumors can be lie, but the background and erudition shown during the conversation cannot be pretended.

"So... you didn't come to me for conversation because of 'Alien 3', I confirmed this." David concluded with a little embarrassment on his face: his work was criticized by Hugo, and even if he was not the main reason, shyness and embarrassment were inevitable.

Hugo chuckled, "Michael Jackson and I are friends. He mentioned you to me. You have followed him around the world for nearly a month to shoot the videotape of the concert, didn't you? He was deeply impressed by the harshness you were at work."

Hugo was just talking nonsense. Although he and Michael were friends, their personal relationships were not to this extent. The two of them never mentioned David Finch at all. But Hugo could only find this reason, which is also the best reason that David could not confirm.

Sure enough, David had no doubts and nodded and smiled, "Of course, you must be rigorous in your work. I am not a talented person at all. If I don't work hard, how can I do my job well?"

Hugo didn't know whether David was humble or had self-knowledge, but in Hugo's view, David's most peak works are "fighting club" and "social network". The former was in 1999 and the latter was in 2010. From this we can see that although David's style did not decisively break through the styles of the two works, his talent is absolutely unquestionable and he is still an excellent director.

Hugo looked back at the crowd in the hall. There were indeed not many people tonight, and there were only more than twenty people. The room still seemed very empty. It was indeed a private party, and there were familiar faces walking around. Hugo noticed Al Pacino's figure appeared. Tom Cruise said just now that Al was the first candidate for the old policeman in the movie.

Hugo thought for a while and did not rush to come forward to say hello, but continued to say to David, "So, are you here tonight preparing to take over this work?"

"This work?" David's thoughts were still immersed in the discussion of "Alien 3" just now, and he was stunned, but immediately reacted and asked and answered, "You are talking about the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. Yes, Gianni asked me to come and see. He was considering whether I was suitable for this work. At the same time, he also asked me to contact the actors and crew more to see if I have specific ideas about the work."

Gianni Nunna (Gianni.nunna), the producer of "The Seven Deadly Sins", Rick had previously told Hugo that Gianni and Martin Scorsis had a close relationship.

"What about you?" David looked at Hugo and asked, but before Hugo could answer, he asked and answered himself. This style could be felt from his future movies. It was fast and sharp. Although he was a chatterbox, the whole pace was very fast. "From my memory, you must have come for the main character. Of course, you are Hugo Lancaster..." David nodded seriously.

Hugo did not refute it, but followed the topic and said, "Have you read this script?"

"I've seen it, this is why I'm willing to appear here today." David said and smiled self-deprecatingly. "In fact, after the filming of 'Alien 3' was over, I've been on vacation or being unemployed." David smiled self-deprecatingly. "I've been reflecting on the reasons why the movie failed."

No wonder David was so excited when Hugo talked to David just now.

"Then my agent gave me this script, which was the first script I've seen in the past eighteen months, but it was also the one I'm most excited about. So, I showed up here." David paused and looked up and down Hugo, "But... as far as I know, this script doesn't seem to be a big investment, and it seems... not suitable for you..."

David's tone was also a little uncertain. Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "As a director, it is your regret for you to draw conclusions to the actors so arbitrary, and of course my shortcomings." Hugo's words made David laugh awkwardly, "I like this script very much. I read it three times. I don't think my understanding of the script will be inferior to others."
