Chapter 562 562

Roland noticed the joy that emerged in Hugo's eyes. Although Hugo was obviously wary, he was still relatively immature after all, not as good as Roland, an old fried dough who had been in the circle for nearly twenty years, so Roland keenly captured this detail. But Roland was not too happy, but just confirmed the correctness of his strategy.

In the Hollywood circle, Roland will not use the adjective "small" as a prefix, but he will use "limited" to describe it. In Hollywood, hundreds of trivial news appear every day, and almost no one can spend the whole day working on these messages. A truly smart person will sort out the news they need at useful moments and then get the answer.

There are indeed rumors in the circle that Hugo has had a conflict with his agent Joseph, which is undoubtedly an offensive opportunity for the agent.

Hugo's potential stock has gradually shown its power, just like the new star who has been favored by scouts in the annual rookie show of NBA or NFL. This new star has obviously proved his ability in the university league, which is enough to attract the attention of the league's strong teams.

Other agents' favourite Hugo is nothing more than the box office success of "Seattle's Sleeping Night", the public opinion storm of "Schindler's List", and the rock changes brought about by Glory to death... All of this gives Hugo the potential to become a top superstar, which makes people flock to it.

But in Roland's opinion, there are two most valuable characteristics of Hugo. The first is that he has talent. Although he does not lack artists who rely on acquired efforts to achieve his own efforts in the entertainment industry, talent is indeed a rare innate condition, and the most rare thing is that he has talent for acting and appearance at the same time, which can definitely be said to be one in a million.

In Roland's memory, among the male actors he admires, there are very few who have these two talents at the same time, such as Malone Brando, Rever Phoenix, and James Dean. Unfortunately, such male actors are often jealous of talent and die young. The death of Rever at the end of October is undoubtedly a huge regret.

Secondly, Hugo has a strong sense of tenacity. Brando, Phoenix, and Dean, the talented actors are often unruly. They are always easily lost in their talents. The pursuit of spotlights will make them constantly want to escape, making their talents often unable to fully display. There are only a handful of people who have achieved glory like Malone Brando, which is also the most regrettable part. However, Hugo has a kind of tenacity and tenacity that is not in line with age.

Compared to the first point, Roland admired Hugo's second point more. Because the first day was born, and the second day was a character developed acquired.

Under such circumstances, Roland noticed the conflict between Hugo and Joseph. The source of the conflict between the two people is that Hugo wants to change his agent Joseph's ability is limited after all, which allows all agents in the circle to see opportunities, and Roland is naturally no exception. At present, Hugo's former agent Lang Meyer, and Rick Rosen, who is close to Hugo, are the most promising, but Roland has noticed a few small details.

"Shawshank's Redemption" was once infinitely close to Hugo, but it finally passed by; "Pulp novels" also locked in Hugo, but it was unable to make a decision; Joseph's works for Hugo included large productions such as "Future Water World" and "Cutting the Throat Island"; finally, there are rumors in the circle that Hugo's pay is high.

This led Roland to the conclusion that the contradiction between Hugo and Joseph was not external force, but the two people had problems with their concept of future actor development.

In fact, from an objective perspective, Joseph's idea is taken for granted. The agents hope that his actors can shoot "orthodox" works. What is orthodox? It is either good box office, big production, or big director. Independent production is always not so popular. Hugo is currently in a stage of rapid development and cannot take any wrong steps. If Roland stands in Joseph's position, he will make the same judgment.

But now Roland is not the person involved, but the third party, and the bystanders are clear. So Roland saw the situation clearly. Although there are only two known scripts "Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Novel", Roland still found out a lot of news, such as Hugo once put forward very pertinent opinions on modifying the "Shawshank Redemption" script; for example, the male protagonist Quentin originally wanted was not Hugo at all, but John Travolta who had declined in recent years. In the end, Quentin would change his mind because sparks burst out during his conversation with Hugo.

This led Roland to the conclusion that Hugo had a keen observation of works and characters, so Roland was fully prepared. He believed that he could impress Hugo, and then seized this opportunity to dig Hugo's gold mine into an innovative artist agency.

The other agents are not doing anything at the moment because they are all concerned about Lang Mayer and Rick Rosen, but the innovative artist agency, a company that started with Scorpion across the river, has no concern at all, which has seized the opportunity for Roland.

Roland noticed Hugo's not obvious joy, but he did not wait for Hugo's answer, but said casually, "But if you are interested in this script, I think Woody will definitely ask for an audition. You know, he has a unique taste for every movie he has."

This is an ostensibly teasing Woody, but in fact it is just saying: If you want, I can arrange for you to meet. Obviously, this "I" refers to Roland, which is also the focus of the whole sentence.

"When I was having dinner with Stanley Kubrick some time ago, he was also preparing for a project, but there is no definite news in the short term. He seems to have enjoyed his recent seclusion." Roland said as if he was chatting, but it surprised both Hugo and Quentin.

Stanley Kubrick, perhaps one of the most talented directors in film history and one of the most famous directors ignored by Oscars, has left awesome wealth for the entire film industry.

"2001 Space Odyssey (2001: a.space.odys Color)", "Clockwork Orange", "Shirting", "Barry.lyndon", "Lolita", "Dr.strangelove"... This series of works is enough to make everyone look up to it. In Stanley's 71 years of life, he has only contributed thirteen official directors, but almost every one can become a classic. He is regarded by many as the greatest director in history and deserves the reputation of a master.

Stanley is a director who cannot be measured by awards or box office, because every movie is almost the originator of a genre. His personality, unique, sharp and sharp style is often incompatible with the era when the film was launched, and it is difficult to win awards or box office recognition. However, as time goes by, the greatness of his works will gradually be verified: countless young people have been influenced by Stanley and become directors, and the spiritual culture produced by Stanley's works radiates to every corner.

James Cameron, David Fincher, Coen brothers, Sam Mendes, Paul Thomas Anderson... These famous names have become directors because they were shocked by Stanley Kubrick's movies. They even volunteered to be "Kubrick's disciples". This is the real power of Stanley's works.

Even in 2014, "2001 Space Odyssey", "Clockwork Orange", "Shirt" and "Lolita" are still absolutely classics. Hugo himself was greatly influenced by Stanley. "Clockwork Orange" is still one of his best movies.

Hugo has to admire that Roland is really amazing! The blood of this band of Glory to Death can deeply feel the influence from "Clockwork Orange", and the band's music, style and spirit can actually feel the influence from the Stanley Kubrick movie. Even though Hugo repeatedly made herself cautious and alert, his heart still trembled when he heard the name "Stanley Kubrick".

You know, Hugo is no longer the ignorant young man after the Golden Raspberry Awards. He has long been reborn, but he can't control his emotions. Especially Hugo knows that Stanley is a person who doesn't like to communicate. He always communicates with others through phone and fax, and Roland is able to eat with Stanley all the time, which is an amazing thing.

Not only Hugo, Quentin, who was sitting next to him, could not hold back, "Really? Is Stanley going to come out to shoot a movie again?" Although Stanley is not Quentin's favorite director, Stanley's shadow can be seen in his works. For example, some scenes in "The Water Dog" are affected by "full metal shell (full.metal.jacket)"; while "Kill Bill" can see traces of "Clockwork Orange".

Roland turned to look at Quentin and said with a smile, "He has two proposals being prepared, but who knows when will he choose to start shooting?"

Since the "all-metal shell" in 1987, Stanley has not released any works. It can be said that this great director has been living a seclusion life, and countless loyal fans are enthusiastically looking forward to the director's launching new works.

When Hugo heard Roland's words, he immediately knew about the two scripts Stanley currently has, one was his last work "eyes.wide.shut", and the other was the science fiction work "Artificial Intelligence (a.i.)" that he had conceived for a long time. Later, this work was moved to the big screen by Steven Spielberg, fulfilling Stanley's last wish.

Although Roland was talking to Quentin, his eyes were capturing Hugo's movements. He could see that Hugo's eyebrows and corners of his mouth clearly wrote excitement and excitement, which made Roland's confidence rise again. Today's things really developed as expected, which was really great!

It seems that it is not a big problem to convince Hugo to join the innovative artist agency.
