Chapter 2060 2060 Mental Illness
In the long river of history, countless talented artists and scientists are victims of mental illness, because they can often see the world that ordinary people cannot see, burst out with endless inspiration, and benefit mankind. But more often, in the eyes of others, they are just a group of madmen, and even people can slam stones at them hard to draw boundaries.
John Nash is one of the victims. His talent, wisdom, and intelligence made him discover game theory, but it also caused him to suffer from schizophrenia. However, he was considered a monster. Even the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize repeatedly gave up the intention to award the prize to him because of John's disease. It was not until 1994 that the Nobel Prize was late. At this time, John had basically recovered and rarely relapsed.
"Mental illness = madman", such a misconception has occupied people's ideological themes for a long time, which has caused countless families to suffer tremendous pain, and even made many parents give up their children and push mentally ill patients into the abyss step by step.
Yao remembers that a "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" was born in 1975, but the deeper meaning of this movie is "losing freedom is the real madness", which does not make people realize the pain and struggle of mental illness. Now, Allen has put forward a higher but more realistic and more important idea. In addition to films like "Trumen's World" that pursue freedom, it also needs a story similar to John Nash to tell people the cruel reality.
Allen's idea is correct, and Hugo is indeed one of the best candidates to take on this project.
Hugo once suffered from schizophrenia during the filming of "Death Guards Walk". Even if you just think about the pain of soul tearing, it would be enough to make people shudder. If you do it again, Hugo is not sure whether he can have a strong enough mind to find his true self for the second time, rather than being lost in the boundless darkness. What's even more terrifying is that this pain still affects his life state.
Although Hugo is far less painful than John Nash, John has endured the pain of schizophrenia and the strange gazes around him for more than ten years; but Hugo has enough experience to empathize with it, showing the confusion, struggle and pain of stepping in the quagmire of darkness.
In addition, during Hugo's long acting career, he has challenged many different types of roles, but has never played a real schizophrenia patient. Not long ago, Hugo completed two different themes, "The World of Truman" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural". Different types of works have made progress in their acting skills again. However, even for Hugo today, John Nash can still be regarded as a difficult challenge.
Just like Erin Ainos, the "female devil", Hugo was not sure that he could perfectly interpret John Nash's state. This challenge was like a brand new limit, waiting for Hugo to impact and break it, and truly comprehend the Zen state of "seeing mountains are mountains, and seeing water is water".
Even though Allen just said something simple, a storm was already in Hugo's mind. The excitement and excitement that was ready to move quickly began to rush in his blood, almost making Hugo unable to hold on and wanted to take on the project immediately. This made Hugo himself feel a little funny, especially when he understood the uncertainty of the adaptation script from 2001 to 1998, he was still so impulsive, and he felt more and more black humorous.
In fact, this is a very magical thing. For Hugo, he has now reached the peak of an actor, from trophy to box office, reputation to popularity, and even from actor to producer, he has achieved full bloom. It is like a person climbing to Mount Everest, and after looking at the mountains with pleasure, he lacks the crisis of continuing to strive for his goals. He is often easily lost, and even the highest peak on earth has been conquered by himself. So, what is the next step?
After "Independence Day", Hugo became the producer of "Los Angeles City Secret" and entered a new field. In terms of the position of producer, Hugo still has many things to learn. But as an actor, he should have no sense of challenge. But the fact is just the opposite. First, it was "Trueman's world", then the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", and now John Nash, Hugo's desire for acting skills is still restless. The excitement and excitement that can't wait to be involved in the performance is really too rare.
When he arrived at Hugo's current position, he was still able to maintain a sense of hunger for his acting skills, which was almost impossible. But it was precisely this sense of hunger that brought Hugo to the height he is today. He can still firmly remember this feeling of hunger. This is Hugo's rationality and soberness, this is Hugo's ability and level, and it is also the reason why Hugo has reached the field that others cannot reach.
He hopes to continue to maintain this hunger.
He wants to play John Nash, he wants to challenge schizophrenia, he wants to tell people the true face of mental illness, he wants to let people truly stand on the standpoint of mental illness patients, he wants to see their world, he wants to hit his limit again to achieve one impossible after another... He wants to take on this project.
Although old foxes such as Robert Eiger, Shirley Lansing, and Kevin Pence are all very familiar with Hugo, and they always know how to use means to achieve their goals; those who truly understand Hugo do not need means or scheming to easily impress Hugo. Just like Allen, just a "Vanity Fair" magazine, Hugo has already started to be excited.
"Hugo, I hope you play John Nash because I know you want to bring reality to everyone." Allen has always known that Hugo rejects excessive pursuit and excessive attention, but Hugo has never forgotten his responsibilities. As a top superstar and even a unique superstar in the history of film, Hugo has always insisted on using his influence to contribute to charity.
In the past year, the Sally Foundation has successfully helped hundreds of people; the distorted tour has promoted the rock industry, and even the most stubborn, radical and extreme loyal music fans have to give a thumbs up; the impact of the "Seven Deadly Sins" on the Uncrowned King, the "Death Prison Walk" questioning the death penalty, the "Trump World" whipping the entertainment to death, and Hugo is relying on his own power to change this society as much as possible.
Hugo is not Superman, and he has no intention of becoming Superman, but he clearly knows that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and he is taking on this responsibility. Therefore, Allen brought the story of John Nash to Hugo because he knew Hugo, and even more because he was Hugo's friend.
Allen was looking at Hugo's expression. He could see positive emotions from the thoughtful expression, which made Allen understand that he was achieving his goal step by step. "Hugo, I not only hope you will play John Nash, but I also hope you will take on this project because I can't find anyone in Hollywood that is more suitable for this work than you."
"Prepare this project?" Hugo woke up from her thoughts, but she didn't understand what Allen meant.
"I have bought the copyright of the adaptation of John Nash's biographical novel "A.beautiful.nd" written by Sylvia.nasar, but the project has not yet been established. I know that many film companies are interested in this project, but I hope to hand it over to you, you are the only candidate in my mind." Allen explained that this is the real thing today. "I hope you will complete the adaptation of the script and then shoulder the responsibility of a producer, from director to actor, all of them will be left to you to choose, including the cooperative company. Of course, your only requirement for you to play John Nash."
Hugo looked at Alan in a little surprised, but Alan looked at Hugo without dodging, his blue eyes calm and calm.
Hugo could read too many emotions from those eyes, which made his heart heavy because he knew clearly how important this trust of Allen was.
Although Hugo has currently served as the producer of three works: "Los Angeles City Secret", "Excellent Beauty" and "Supernatural Sixth Sense", he is still very experienced and large-scale production companies are still unwilling to delegate power completely. In this regard, Hugo is still far from bigwigs such as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. But now, Allen has handed over the entire project of John Nash's biography to Hugo, which means that the success or failure of the work is completely maintained on Hugo's shoulders.
Although this trust is not the first to eat, it is definitely the first to jump off the cliff.
Hugo wanted to say something to refuse, but he couldn't say it, because he really liked the project very much. Hugo felt excited when he thought of playing the role of John Nash; Hugo felt deeply moved when he thought of using his hands to adapt the life of John Nash's legend into a script.
Hugo also wanted to say something modest, but he stopped. Because he knew that instead of being modest and polite, it was better to focus all his energy on the project itself and truly deliver the perfect answer; more because he knew that Allen's trust in him was unconditional, and his modesty was just a mask of a hypocrite.
Looking at Alan's trusting look, Hugo finally nodded slightly, "Buddy, I won't let you down." The confidence in the understatement was overflowing, making people clearly feel Hugo's urgency and affirmation.
Allen smiled big, "I know you won't."
In this way, in just twenty minutes, John Nash became Hugo's next project after the end of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense". So, what will the Hugo version of John Nash look like?
