"Hugo Lancaster officially became a member of the "Schindler's List" crew and will play an important role in it." This news was further confirmed by the Hollywood Reporter, which means that the first-hand news from the Los Angeles Times was correct, which immediately caused shock to the entire circle.
Steven Spielberg has been busy for ten years for "Schindler's List". This proposal has been rumored in the circle for a long time. Because Steven attaches too much importance to the script and is worried that his ability will not be able to control it, he pushed the execution of the proposal to ten years later. In this decade, four screenwriters have been transferred to the script, and it took a full ten years to complete the script creation.
When preparing again, Steven tried to find Roman Polansky, Sidney Pollack, Martin Scorses, Billy Wilder and others to direct it, just hoping to truly reproduce the true face of that history. This also made the proposal struggle in the early stage, and it took more than a year and still had no clear idea.
After hearing about Bosnian ethnic cleansing and the shameless remarks of the Holocaust deniers, Steven finally made up his mind to direct the "Schindler's List" himself, because neo-Nazism began to rise after the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Steven, as a descendant of Jews, naturally hated this.
After countless tosses, the "Schindler's List" finally went to Poland for field shooting and officially started shooting. This is naturally an explosive news for the news media.
On the other hand, from Steven's hesitation and hesitation, from the twists and turns of the previous and subsequent screenwriters and directors, we can see the difficulty of the script "Schindler's List". It is not that the script is not good, but precisely because the story is too exciting, it has the potential to become a classic, but it is too difficult. Therefore, industry insiders think that this proposal is a tricky hot potato, and the attitudes of major film companies towards it seem a bit ambiguous, and in the final analysis, it is just one sentence: lack of confidence.
Universal Pictures invested only $20 million in budget to film such a masterpiece with the potential to become an epic, which is really undeniable to vote for confidence. You should know that "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" a year ago cost 10 million, and the entire crew completed the shooting near New York State. Now the entire "Schindler's List" crew moved to Poland to film on-site, and the budget of 20 million is really short of money.
Therefore, when we learned that the "Schindler's list" was launched, the media's attitude was quite ambiguous. No one said that the movie was destined to fail, and no one said with certainty that the movie would be successful. Almost all media maintained a consistent attitude, believing that "this film is a very serious and heavy subject matter, and the difficulty of filming of the movie should not be underestimated. The director needs to be handled with caution. Only by being cautious and cautious is the correct attitude towards such a subject." As for the finished film, most media kept silent and were unwilling to talk more.
Although professional magazines led by "variety shows" and "Hollywood Reporter" have maintained a neutral attitude and do not have much tendency, their remarks themselves are invisible pressure, and the subtext is "This is a tightrope walking process. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss." In other words, there is a very high possibility of failure. It's just that the media didn't say it explicitly, but the negative and cautious attitude has already explained everything.
This cautious sentiment almost represents the entire public opinion trend. It seems that the "Schindler's List" has just started filming, and the dark clouds shrouded over the heads of Jews during World War II have swallowed up the entire crew of "Schindler's List".
Since the project "Schindler's List" itself attracted countless attention, and as the director Steven is the subject of everyone's discussion, the news that Hugo became a member of the crew did not cause too many waves. Media such as the "Los Angeles Times" and "U.S. Weekly" reported the news in detail, but the response caused was very limited.
Regarding Hugo's addition to "Schindler's List", the general view continues his attitude towards the entire movie, which is natural. Everyone is not clear about the prospects of the movie, so naturally the prospects of the actors are not clear about.
The attitude of the famous film critic Roger Ebert from the Chicago Sun is the most representative of it. "After experiencing the glory of 'Smelling the fragrance and knowing women' and 'Yihai Heroes', Hugo, who has been plagued by countless scandals, seems to have temporarily curbed the recovery momentum of Hugo for months. A chick movie like 'Seattle Night' is difficult to bring more help to his actor career, and a movie full of countless possibilities like 'Schindler's List' has also brought uncertainty to Hugo's big-screen journey this year."
Roger Ebert did not directly say "Hugo will fail", but expressed his point of view in a worried tone. In fact, the subtext is to say "Hugo is hanging". This uncertainty is not a vague expectation of positive results, but a anxiety about not knowing when the disaster will fall. This is the general idea of Hugo by the media.
But no one will deny that in the face of negative news, Hugo has relied on his own strength to get job opportunities in two movies, which is definitely the best proof of Hugo's strength. Putting aside the film's works, Nora Everon and Steven Spielberg are two hard bones. This is a recognized thing in the circle. Relying on personal connections to seek an important position is not such a way to achieve results for these two people, especially the latter. Steven is now the top power owner in Hollywood. To impress him, there is only one way to go for hard power.
Therefore, Hugo relied on his hard power to "smell the fragrance and recognize women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" to fight back with a series of doubts and bumps in a big brand, but it actually fought back in this gentle but tough way, which was a result that the news media did not expect.
Moreover, it is certain that no matter what the future of "Schindler's List" is, the significance of this work to Steven is self-evident. Hugo can become a part of it, which has an unpredictable positive impact on Hugo's future network expansion.
Regardless of whether the media's views are positive or negative, it is undoubtedly the focus of the entire "Schindler's List" crew. This work, which has just started filming on the European continent, surpassed the Oscars that are about to kick off, and became the hottest topic in newspapers and magazines. Hugo, who was only laughing at the movie "Seattle Night" not long ago, became the focus again.
In the overwhelming news, there was a tide that was unaware of by outsiders. Even many insiders did not realize that the startup of the "Schindler's List" actually brought a series of subsequent reactions.
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Tracy, Lang and Martin began to move again. Although the planning of "Schindler's List" ended in failure, it was not because Tracy and others were not strong enough. It was mainly because Steven attached too much importance to this project. Imagine that he devoted ten years of hard work to a project, and even gave his love to a trusted old friend for the quality of the film. His only concern was that he ruined the work himself, which shows Steven's cherishment of "Schindler's List". Therefore, it is not surprising that Tracy and others were excluded.
In fact, the strength of Tracy, Lang and Martin in the joint efforts cannot be underestimated. Tracy has been able to become the producer of many Oscar-nominated films and many box office hits. His own hard power and connections in the circle are very large. From the calculations of Hugo in the past two months, we can see the tip of the iceberg.
So, Tracy calmed down and knew that "Schindler's List" had become a thing of the past. All she needed to do now was to find a work that could compete with "Schindler's List", which would most likely block Hugo's rise again at the first time.
Any kind of confrontation can be divided into two types: conspiracy and conspiracy.
Before the crew of "Schindler's List" set out for Poland, everything was conspiracy. The entanglement and struggle between Hugo and Tracy were hidden in the darkness. Others could not see the beginning and end of things, but could only see one result: Hugo took over the two scripts "Seattle Night" and "Schindler's List" under the turbulent negative news. During the whole process, no one could detect Tracy's calculations. Even Hugo could not find any evidence, because this invisible network that relies on connections and rumors would not leave any evidence. This is Hollywood.
However, after the conspiracy fails, everything will be open-minded from now on. The small private moves can no longer achieve the goal, so it depends on the head-on showdown of the work. The so-called open-minded plot is actually to follow the trend and act according to the trend.
In fact, conspiracy is to set traps, making things out of nothing. The level of the trap depends on whether it is a clever or not. However, even the most brilliant trap is a fatal injury in the conspiracy. As long as someone sees through or thinks of a countermeasure, the conspiracy will go bankrupt. For example, Hugo confronted Anthony at a press conference, and Hugo relied on his own strength to seize the opportunity created for him. This is the case.
But open conspiracy is not the case. Open conspiracy is transparent and without flaws. In short, it is a head-on showdown. In the Hollywood environment, open conspiracy is a head-on showdown of works. The two works compete for a duel of box office and reputation. The winning side will enjoy the next series of chain victories, while the losing side will fall into a quagmire of successive failures.
The reason why Tracy planned to face the head-on is actually betting that the betting on "Schindler's list" may not be successful, and at the same time, betting on the work he selected will win a great victory! This is the same as Tracy's previous choice of "Schindler's list" and putting all his efforts into it. However, now the object of Tracy's betting on must be re-selected, and the opponent in the betting game has become "Schindler's list", which is the reason.
