Robert Redford stopped three steps in front of Hugo, and raised the champagne glass in his hand with a smile, "Sorry, I've disturbed your entertainment time." After saying that, he gently curled the corner of his mouth, not concealing his teasing meaning, but seemed generous and decent. "I just think that if I don't come to say hello at this time, there will be no time in a while."

Robert looked at his left hand, and Hugo subconsciously followed his gaze and looked at his right hand. Not far away, with the lights flashing, many people were looking at him, either sneaking or blatantly. Obviously, everyone was about to move.

Hugo smiled and looked at Robert, "Oscar nights are always like this, isn't it? The busy moments of big people and the busy moments of small people, there are always countless jobs to be busy." The layman always thinks that this night ends after the best film is revealed, but in fact, it is just the beginning of a real busy life.

Robert has been very busy on Oscar Nights over the years because he has been working hard to create more influence for the Sundance Film Festival, hoping that more people can turn their attention to independent films. Since "Pulp Novel", this has become much easier, but Robert still needs to continue to promote and promote it. This is like charity. Once it starts, there is no ending day.

"You're the same tonight," Robert said with a smile. "I think everyone will probably flock here later, so I take this opportunity to take a little advantage in advance." Hugo thought Robert came for the Sundance Film Festival, but why was it a little wrong to hear this? Sure enough, Robert stretched out his right hand and said, "I'll introduce myself first. Hello, my name is Robert Redford. I have directed works such as "Ordinary Man", "Les Behind the Scenes", and "Horse Whisperer".

Hugo didn't know what Robert had sold in the gourd, so he grabbed his right hand in a daze, "Hey, good evening...Mr. Redford, I'm glad we've met for the 99th time."

Robert was amused by Hugo's words, and he smiled and shook his head, denying Hugo's perception, explaining, "I heard that you wrote a script recently and were looking for a suitable director. What do you think of me?"

"Director?" Hugo's pupils opened slightly, he looked at Heath and Leonardo beside him, then looked at Robert and Gwyneth, who had just passed away, and suddenly realized that all this was for the "beautiful soul".

For nearly three months, Hugo was busy adapting John Nash's biography at home, and missed the Golden Globes and Grammys. In fact, this year, Grammys sent invitations to Glory until their death, hoping that they could perform on stage. But not only Hugo was free, Neil, Fokin and others were not free, they were planning a spring plan for "Twisted Tour". This time, it was not only in North America, but also in South America, and further expanded the scale of the tour. Therefore, Henry rejected the Grammys invitation.

When Hugo returned to Los Angeles, he returned with the script adapted by "Beautiful Mind". There is no doubt that this script will become a popular project. Currently, only a few senior members of the internal community have read the script, and all the details about the script are kept confidential. Only one thing is confirmed. In addition to acting as the script adapter, Hugo will also serve as the producer and the male lead.

This news alone is enough to make half of Hollywood sensation. After major film companies took action to seize production rights, it is now the production team that has become the gunman seat. From directors to actors, to crew members, almost every position has become a delicious bun that everyone yearns for.

Looking at Robert in front of him, Hugo unintentionally remembered his first audition after the Golden Raspberry Award.

It was the audition for "The Love of the River", and the director was Robert Redford. Hugo and Brad competed for the same role. Finally, Robert chose Brad, which was the beginning. After that, he and Brad embarked on two completely different paths, and then walked all the way to where they are today.

Now, time flies, and they are no longer what they were seven years ago. However, Hugo did not expect that Robert would recommend himself to prepare for the "beautiful soul" and hope to become the director of the movie. This time, the one who holds the decision was replaced by Hugo.

Time is such an interesting thing, always mixing reincarnation and destiny together in different ways, making it impossible to distinguish clearly.

Hugo is naturally not the rookie who has never seen the world at the beginning. There is no personal grudge between him and Robert. On the contrary, Hugo has always been very supportive of the Sundance Film Festival, and there is still a lot of common language between the two. Therefore, Hugo did not intend to embarrass Robert, but laughed politely, "This is obviously my honor, which can interest the famous Robert. If you are interested, I can send the script to your agent after going back, and you can contact me after reading it."

Robert could feel the politeness in Hugo's words, and he did not sell himself too anxiously, because he knew that Hugo actually had many choices. The main reason why he came to recommend himself was that he was interested in the biography of John Nash. Now that Hugo could extend his hand of friendship, this is a step to success.

"Then I'm waiting for a wonderful story." Robert also said politely with a smile.

After Robert turned and left, Leonardo quietly said to Hugo's ear, "Do you really want him to be the director?" Leonardo naturally knew about the "Big River Love", so he always didn't have much favorable feelings for Robert.

Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "No, I already have a director candidate in my mind, but... I haven't talked to him yet, so I don't know what he really thinks."

If possible, Hugo still hopes that "Beautiful Heart" will be directed by Lang Howard. It is not because of obeying history, but because Lang is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Before 1999, Lang had never made a big hit in Hollywood. From his previous works, we can see that he was not a director with personality like Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino. He could be regarded as the most obedient director in the Hollywood system, and was familiar with the rules of the game in commercial films. Generally speaking, Lang's works are superb and easy to understand, and can package mainstream ideology and values ​​in the most entertaining way, and are just sensational. Perhaps some clichés, but reliable and effective.

In fact, Lang's work is very exciting in large part dependent on scripts because he lacks creativity, but he is very good at cleverly stimulating the potential of wonderful scripts. It can be seen from "Apollo 13" four years ago that he has the ability to combine dramatic scripts with high technology. Among the Mesozoic directors, he has a steady and never sensationalism, but he is diligent.

This is also why Lang was able to exert such great energy in biographical movies.

Because Lang is often able to give the character a true soul and dig out the deep core ideas of the script. On the basis of biographical facts that do not require any innovativeness, find a perfect connection point and let the film truly burst into dazzling light.

In the story of "Beautiful Mind", Hugo needs a director to truly portray John Nash's pain and struggles in schizophrenia, and be able to show that process from the right angle, quietly integrate the importance of family, friendship and love into the story. To put it bluntly, it is a work that needs to be sensational; at the same time, it is also a work that needs to be reflected by the audience. The afterglow left after the movie can make people change their traditional impression of schizophrenia again.

There is no doubt that Lang is the most suitable candidate.

However, Hugo has not yet talked to Lang. After "Apollo 13", Lang only launched a "Ransoft Storm", which has achieved great success in business, but its reputation is relatively ordinary. I just don't know if Lang has a project at hand now.

While thinking, Leonardo interrupted Hugo's thoughts, "So, I do have a character, right?"

Hugo looked at Leonardo's nervous expression, and did not tease him again this time, nodding, "Yes, the character William Pacher was written for you."

"William Pacher." Leonardo muttered carefully, trying to recall the role in his mind, but he has just simply flipped through the script and has not really started to read it seriously, and his memory is really blurry.

William Pacher is a very complicated and difficult character, and there is no obvious crutch worth learning from in the background information of the character, but the actors need to burst into delicate and intense performances. This is a role that is more suitable for Leonardo to make a breakthrough than Jack of the "Titanic". Hugo believes that this is a big challenge for Leonardo, a difficult challenge.

Turning his head, Hugo saw Heath's longing eyes, his face full of anxiety, but he didn't dare to speak easily, which made him laugh, "Heath, to be honest, I didn't deliberately arrange the role when writing the script. However, I think there is a role that you are very suitable for. Looking back, we can read the script carefully and then you try to see it."

Heath's expression suddenly became clear, and his eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement.

But this tranquility lasted less than three minutes before it was broken. As Robert said, Hugo tonight was the focus, the absolute focus, not only because he created history again, but also because of a "beautiful soul", it has become the most highly-watched project in Hollywood at present, and everyone is eager to be one of them.

The reason is simple: Hugo Lancaster!
