"Far from the Casino", when Hugo heard this script, his first reaction was that things were such a coincidence. How could he not know about this script? This is the work of Nicholas Cage, who is nicknamed "the king of bad movies" in the future. This work also made Nicholas Cage the only acting peak in his acting career as an actor.

Nicholas has appeared in more than 70 films in more than 30 years of acting career, and has won two Oscar nominations for Best Actor, one in 2002's "Adaptation" and the other in 1995's "Far Away from the Casino". Coincidentally, in these two works, he plays both down-and-out Hollywood screenwriters, who are in a confused and confused stage at the trough of life, trying to find a way out.

So people also joked that the screenwriter's role allowed Nicholas to fully demonstrate his "face paralysis acting skills".

The reason why Hugo feels coincidence is that "stay away from the casino" has made Nicholas the only Oscar winner, Little Golden Man. In the process of competition, he defeated Sean Pan, who was "a deadbeater".

Above the 68th Oscars, "Far Away from Casino" won four nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay that year. "Deathly Walk" was nominated for the final competition in the four departments of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Original Song; and interestingly, although Nicholas had "Small Moon" and "Honeymoon in Vegas" won the Golden Globe Award nomination, and Sean won the Golden Globe Award nomination for "Dawn of Love Owl", but this time it was the first Oscar nomination for the two.

All of this makes the two people's strength particularly close. Whether it is their acting skills or overall reputation, including the actors' personal voices and previous contributions from Hollywood, Nicholas and Sean are both the strongest contenders for the actors. The two of them are comparable in all aspects. It is not an exaggeration to say that among the five candidates, their duo.

In the end, "Far Away from the Casino" took away the actor's best actor, and "Death Prisoner Walking" took away the actor's best actor. As a result, he still got a draw, but it achieved the first glory of Nicholas's career. Sean, who lost this time, has since embarked on the route of acting talent and gradually grew into one of the most successful actors in the world.

So, it is indeed a coincidence. The scripts of "Far Away from Casino" and "Walking in Death Prison" actually appeared in Hugo's hands together, which gave Hugo a strange and absurd feeling.

Rick naturally couldn't understand Hugo's idea. He handed over the script of "Far Away from Casino" to Hugo. "In fact, Mike Feiges' project is also in a stagnant state. Pence is a little confused about the script and is not confident enough about Feiges, so he wants to see if any actors are willing to take it, and whether the male and female protagonists are strong enough. Oh, I forgot to tell you that this project is the same as "Death-in-law Walking" and has high requirements for the two protagonists."

Mike Phiges has a mediocre reputation in Hollywood. When Hugo just met him, he never remembered that he was the director of "Far Away from Casino". Mike gained some attention in 1988 with a self-written and directed "Stormy. Touch Nday". Although he has filmed and produced many works since then, in his more than 20-year directing career, only one "Far Away from Casino" has been successful. All his talents and ideas are concentrated in this work, and no work that can be produced has been released.

Looking closely, "Far Away from the Casino" and "Walking in Death Prisoners" do have many similarities. Both scripts are works written and directed by the director, and are also scripts adapted from the original novel. As a director, this work is the director's most famous and successful works; both works are low-cost investments and independent literary sketches, and all characters are focused on the male and female protagonists, and the story relies entirely on the interaction and performance tension of the male and female protagonists.

No matter from any perspective, both works are equal, including media reputation, box office achievements, and award trends. Therefore, it is not wrong to choose any works. In the final analysis, it depends on Hugo's own personal preferences.

After Rick left the script, he drove back with Carl. They still have work tomorrow, so naturally they can't have the ability to party all night like Hugo and others.

Hugo was not in a hurry to read the script. Although his memory of the plot of "Far Away from the Casino" was a little blurred, Hugo also joined the carnival of Leonardo and others. He installed two sets of red and white machines in the game room on the first floor. This classic Nintendo game from childhood memories was obviously loved by everyone. This game room was always howling, and it was so lively that everyone was happy and didn't want to leave at all.

When Hugo returned to his room to rest, it was already past four o'clock in the morning. Leonardo and Pedro continued to party in the game room on the first floor, but Hugo was still a little drunk and felt a little tired, so he dragged his body to rest. At this time, Cameron was already asleep in Hugo's bedroom. In order not to wake up Cameron, Hugo carefully washed up and then tiptoed to turn off the lights to prepare for rest.

Obviously Cameron was exhausted tonight, and was not woken up by Hugo. He slept very peacefully with the pillow in his arms.

After Hugo lay down, he thought he would fall asleep soon because his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open it, but he was lying on the bed for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep. Although he was so tired that he couldn't get into sleep, he just couldn't get into a state of sleep. This situation was really bad.

Hugo didn't know what was wrong with him. Could it be that he was not used to it because he changed into a brand new environment? Obviously, it shouldn't be a reason. During the filming period, Hugo spent most of his time in the hotel and he never had the problem of recognizing bed. And he had been tired all day today, and he didn't go to bed until the early morning last night. He got up early in the morning and started moving. According to the principle, because he was too tired, he would fall asleep quickly. How could he care about the new environment?

Hugo let out a long breath, opened his eyes to adapt to the darkness in front of him. The dark blue outside the floor-to-ceiling window looked soft and cold, making the night look much gentler.

Is it because of moving? It’s not because of the new environment, but because of his moving, he left Sunset Square after all. Although Charlize and Alex often come here to play, they are no longer roommates. Everything is still the same, but everything is different. Thinking of this, the melancholy in his heart slowly spreads in the dark like mist.

Hugo's toss and turns made Cameron notice it, and asked Hugo half-awake, "What's wrong?" Only then did Hugo realize his irritability. He quickly comforted him, "It's okay", and then patted Cameron's arm gently. After watching her fall asleep again, Hugo sat down carefully and left the room with his toes.

Standing at the door, he let out a long breath. Maybe there were too many things that happened all day today, so he was still not very adaptable and was a little mentally weak. Hugo rubbed his cheeks hard. Although his whole head was so tired and his eyes could hardly be opened, he was no longer sleepy.

Standing at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor, you could still hear the noisy laughter downstairs, but Hugo didn't plan to join them downstairs. After thinking about it, Hugo walked up to the third floor.

The space on the third floor was renovated by Hugo into a recording studio and study room, and the balcony outside was also an entertainment space. Hugo pushed open the door of the study and walked into this strange but familiar environment. It was surrounded by dark brown wooden bookcases. Currently, less than a quarter of the space is filled. The remaining space is waiting for Hugo to slowly collect and fill it up.

Hugo picked up the script of "Far Away from Casino" and "Walking in Death Prisoners" from his desk, walked towards the lounge chair next to the floor-to-ceiling glass door, then looked for a comfortable sitting position, and picked up the script.

The story of "Death Prisoner Walking" is actually very simple, it can be summarized in one sentence, the final struggle of a death row prisoner before he was executed; and the story of "Far Away from the Casino" is the love story of a drunkard and a prostitute.

Corresponding to the slightly heavy life and death of "Death Prisoner Walking", the theme of atonement is that "Far Away from the Casino" tells the story of two lonely and desperate souls keeping each other warm, scarred and heartbreaking love. This story does not intend to reveal the darkness of society or condemn the harm of alcoholism. It simply tells a great emotion full of tragedy, from the most instinctive and most easily distorted true feelings in human nature.

The story tells the story of a down-and-out Hollywood screenwriter. After losing his job, income, family and friends, he came to Las Vegas alone, trying to bury the pain in alcohol, and then intends to drink until he dies. However, in the process of self-destruction, he feels indescribable loneliness and loneliness.

He accidentally met a prostitute, a prostitute, who was in a miserable life controlled by a pimp. Every time he escaped, he was brought back and beaten. Life was like a nightmare. The prostitute and the drunkard met. They didn't have any relationship, but just had a conversation and snuggled around for the night.

Later, the prostitute brought the drunkard home and took good care of him. The two people who were both fallen into the world gradually fell in love with each other. But the drunkard in despair was still floating in the alcohol, consuming his only life.
