Richard Linklater once conceived such a story in his mind.

A man and a woman met and met each other. They decided to find a place to explore each other's bodies, but this was a strange city and they did not find the right place at the first time. Just as the two of them headed to the motel, the two had to start chatting.

This should have been the most taboo part of the night when passion occurs, because chat will touch a person's soul, and dialogue will reveal a person's heart, which will often make the simple body attractive and gradually lose interest. However, these two people found that they were even more attractive to each other, because chat allowed them to discover their similarities and differences.

So the two gave up going to the motel, instead looking for a bar to sit down and chat. The conversation was going on and the love was heating up.

Richard thinks this is a good story because this story can show the most essential thing in love: whether humans love each other because of the attraction of the body or because of the soul.

People who believe that love at first sight choose the former because the attraction brought by appearance cannot be restrained; people who believe that true love will be seen over time choose the latter because love is not just impulse, but also requires management. Only ideological fit can make love last, and just impulse is animal innate.

Such a story is worth savoring and savoring, but unfortunately, Richard has never been able to write this script because he has been thinking about the difference between men and women. On the same issue, how different views of men and women should spark and how they should complement each other. This is not an easy task. Lines are a decisive link for such a script.

Then, Richard saw the script "Before Sunrise", which came from a strange and familiar name, Hugo Lancaster. He said it was strange because he never knew Hugo could write the script; he said it was familiar because there were almost no residents in Los Angeles who did not know this person.

When Richard read the first scene of the script "Before Sunrise", he couldn't help but fall in love with the script because the dialogue between men and women was so interesting that he couldn't stop. Richard finished reading the entire script in one go. After reading it, he felt that he had met too late. He wanted to see Hugo as soon as possible, and he wanted to share all his thoughts with Hugo.

This was the first time Richard was interested in Hugo, otherwise he would not have any interest in such actors who had acting skills but were high-ranking because he knew they had no possibility of collaborating.

Last night, Richard wanted to rush over to Sunset Square after reading the script, but after rushing out of the house, he realized that it was already twelve:30 in the morning, and it was obviously not a good time to visit a stranger. So Richard endured it until today.

After meeting, Richard became nervous uncontrollably, but then he found that Hugo was not high above him. He looked like the neighbor next door. Of course, this neighbor was more like the handsome man in the movie. He was kind and gentle, and he was relaxed and humorous when he teased himself, which made Richard relax quickly. This was an unexpected gain.

"So, how did you think of creating such a script?" I had already had great expectations for this meeting. After relaxing a little, Richard's thoughts immediately turned, but the question was just revealed. Before Hugo could answer, he spoke directly, "In fact, I have always wanted to create a similar story before..."

Hugo had already opened his mouth, but Richard did not pause, so Hugo could only continue listening.

Hugo thinks this is indeed a magical thing. His inspiration is to travel through the "Before Sunrise" filmed by Richard before, but now, the script "Before Sunrise" has become the version created by Hugo. However, Richard still has similar ideas and has different from the version in Hugo's mind. This makes the discussion between Hugo and Richard more and more intense, and new inspiration burst out again to improve the script.

The two sat in the hall, just like Hugo and Charlize, Cameron, Alex, Joseph and others discussed the script before, discussing the differences in thoughts between men and women, and their outlook on life values. Although it was only the first time the two met, the awkwardness and distance quickly disappeared. When a person concentrates on a topic, all other additional factors will disappear, just focus on this topic.

The two even found the typewriter directly and recorded their ideas in the hall. After the two of them discussed the questions, the two discovered that what they were most satisfied with the whole story was the beginning and ending, especially the latter. As Charlize said at the beginning, such an ending was the most in line with the story style and the most perfect ending.

Richard relaxed all over, but after realizing that the topic was over, he couldn't help but feel a little restrained. He looked around and said hesitantly, "So... do you have any ideas about the actor?"

Hugo pointed to Charlize, who was sitting next to him reading the latest script paper, "She is that girl, I am that boy."

Richard turned his head and saw Charlize with a clean face. At this time, Charlize had just woken up not long ago. She did not put on makeup. She simply tied up her golden hair with a shark. She was wearing a simple white dress and pajamas. She had no special dress and was even a little sloppy, but she exuded a charming lazy temperament, which made people involuntarily look at her more.

Charlize looked up and smiled at Richard, waved casually, and then lowered his head to focus on the script again. But Richard smiled with satisfaction, "She really looks like Selena." On the contrary, Hugo does not have the will of Jesse that drifts with the wind. Compared to Jesse, Hugo is more sunny and gentler, and his wandering temperament is a bit insufficient. However, Richard knew that Hugo was an excellent actor and he believed that Hugo could do it.

Hugo laughed, "Can Selena be based on her, fifty percent?" Hugo raised his tail slightly and said lightly.

"So, you guys..." Richard's eyes looked back and forth between Hugo and Charlize, and the hint was really obvious.

"No, no, we are friends, friends." Hugo waved his hand and explained, "We all have our own dates. However, we often discuss these topics at home, and many of the content in the script are the contents of the two of us."

Richard realized that he was rude. He was not very interested in gossip and naturally did not know that Hugo was dating Cameron now, so he asked a stupid question, "Sorry, I asked the wrong question."

"It's okay, we are all actors, professional actors." Charlize said. She looked at Hugo with a smile, with an uncontrollable smile on her lips. In fact, it would be very interesting to imagine shooting a scene with Hugo. If it were a year ago, she would probably be very moved, but now she can face it calmly. They are friends, which is a sure thing.

Hugo stared at Charlize's teasing smile and glared with contempt, but Charlize glared back without any weakness. Richard, who was sitting in the middle, quickly spoke, "Then, I think, it would be better if I could be the director of this movie!"

But before Hugo cheered happily, Alex jumped over, "Director, can you arrange a role for me in this script? You know, it doesn't matter even if you pass by."

Richard was shocked by Alex and was stunned. Before he could speak, he saw Hugo punching Alex hard, then threw Alex to the ground next to him like a corpse, and then sat down next to Richard as if nothing had happened. "That's really great. I hope we can cooperate happily."

Richard was amused and crying, "By the way, in terms of investment, I mean the producer, is there no problem?" Richard realized that this was an important part. Because Hugo was just a screenwriter, if the producer was unwilling to be directed by Richard, then everything would be useless.

"Yes, no problem, David Geffen will be the producer, uh..." Hugo originally wanted to say that it was produced by Geffen Pictures, but he was not sure if it was produced by DreamWorks, so he stopped and changed his words, "He will invest 2.5 million US dollars and we can go to Vienna to film on-site."

Before Richard could react from the name "David Geffen", he heard "two.5 million". You know, he had filmed two works before, and even had to raise a 100,000 investment for a long time. Now he got two million and five million in one breath. This really made Richard excited, "Wow, are you serious? This is really great. I should think about where I need this money. Maybe we can shoot every scene on the spot to increase the authenticity, including pedestrians, passers-by, and background..."

In the past, Richard saved money when he filmed movies, but now he suddenly became a rich man, and he was a little uncomfortable. Compared to David Geffen, the abundant costs made him happier.

"So, when can we start working?" Richard said impatiently, almost wanting to roll up his sleeves and go to work immediately.

Hugo shrugged, "Charlize has time, I... also have time, maybe next week." Hugo is still not sure about the promotional itinerary of Glory to Death. He remembered yesterday that Joseph told him that he had come to an end and there was no itinerary afterwards, but he still had to confirm it. "So, I think you can start preparing for the shooting today..."

"Hugo! And I'm there!" Alex was very depressed.

But Hugo ignored him directly, "Oh, by the way, I should let you meet David first, and Sally, we should have a meal, at least we need to communicate between shooting..."

"Hugo Lancaster! Woo woo woo woo..."
