"They just have a good script. Come and ask me if I'm interested." Hugo looked around, but didn't see the script that the Coen brothers had just left. He raised his head and glanced at Joseph, and Joseph pointed to him. On the layer below the coffee table, Hugo saw the thick green cover.

Alex noticed the gaze of Hugo and Joseph, bent over and picked up the script. The cover said "Murder Green Toe (The. Big. Lebowski, and Alex flipped through it, "You After discussing with Rick, have you decided to make the next independent film?"

Before "Independence Day", although Hugo's box office appeal was the best, but the voices of doubt were endless; but after "Independence Day", all the voices of disagreement were closed, and people were not only about Hugo's box office pulling power. There are no doubts, and I am impressed with the five bodies.

Therefore, when people mention Hugo’s new works, commercial films are undoubtedly the biggest hits. People are eager to see Hugo’s commercial achievements, but also eager to see Hugo appear in the light-hearted film works, not just Major film companies and many ordinary people also hold this idea.

But from another perspective, as the best acting representative of the baby boom generation, Hugo's performance in art films and independent films is undoubtedly a huge asset. After the "Death Convict Walk", people are looking forward to Hugo's wonderful performance once again, so that people can feel the shock that comes on the face through the big screen.

Whether it is a commercial film or an art film, this has become the focus of everyone's discussion-everyone is making suggestions for Hugo, not to mention Hugo and Rick themselves, other outsiders are also expressing their opinions. Alex is no exception.

Seeing that Hugo had left the script of the Coen brothers, Alex was already gearing up. No one can ignore the talent of the Coen brothers, especially the "ice and blood storm" that turned out in February this year, which brought the Coen brothers into the mainstream. Hugo and the Coen brothers collaborated on a work? Just imagining it is enough to make people excited.

"No, nothing is certain for the time being. Joel and Ethan just think. I would be interested in this script. The actor suits me very well, and I have been interested in challenging comedies lately, so they specifically looked for it. Come here." Hugo was very calm and said casually.

Alex was very emotional, "What do you think? Are you interested?"

Hugo couldn't help but was stunned, since he got the "Murder Green Toe" script today. He really didn't feel that kind of excitement, but. why? Joseph saw that Hugo didn't speak, and said, "Hugo just got the script and didn't even read it. How does he know."

It was then that Alex realized it, and he couldn't wait to read it.

Although Hugo has not read the script, he is no stranger to this story. Is "Murder Green Toe" the best and most famous movie of the Coen brothers? Obviously not, movies like "Old Nowhere" and "Ice and Blood Storm" are the real masterpieces of the Coen Brothers. However, in 2014, the Library of Congress announced the new year's list of US National Treasures. But the name "Murder Green Toe" appeared-alongside it was "Saving Private Ryan".

"Murder of Green Toe" is a classic cult work, and it can be said to be a typical representative of Cult movies. This work tells the story of the male protagonist Du Ye suffered an inexplicable disaster because of the same name as a millionaire, and his favorite carpet also suffered from the fish. For this carpet, the Du Ye decided to pay the millionaire with the same name. The rich man made a claim, but he was involved in a complicated kidnapping case.

The film maintains the Coen Brothers' consistent mix of black, comedy, mystery, and even slightly artificially decorative styles. It's a bit like a comedy-style Franz Kafka (Franz. Kafka). The film incorporates a lot of hints, metaphors and ridicule of American political history, but it is very obscure.

After the film was released, the box office performance in the United States was average, and the reviews received at the time of release were also mixed, but with the passage of time, the reviews of the film gradually tended to be positive. Thanks to special characters, fantastic plots, unconventional lines and eclectic soundtracks, it was later recognized as an absolutely classic work and was recognized by many authoritative organizations including the Library of Congress. .

"Murdering Green Toes" is undoubtedly the consistent style of the Coen brothers. It takes the American black humor to the extreme, and projects a lot of metaphors in many details, and controls the ups and downs of the plot through sharp editing and stylized sound effects. ups and downs. Of course, the most important thing is. Every character in their story cannot be copied, with full image and distinctive style.

The Coen brothers are a very special stylized director. They themselves do not have too much skill in directing the performance of actors, but they are very good at scripting and character control. They can often capture the most exciting interpretations of actors' roles. The fragments are then shown in front of the audience. Therefore, there have been many wonderful performances in the works of the Coen brothers, such as "Barton-Fink", "Ice and Blood Storm", "The Three Kings of Prison (O. Brother, Where. Art. Thou)?", "The Absent" "People (The. Man. Who. Wasn't. There, "Old Nothing to Support", "Burn after Reading", "Serious Man", "Thunder in the Land", "Drunk Country Folk Songs" and other works have made contributions. Nominations related to acting at the Grand Awards Ceremony.

Especially in the early films of the Coen Brothers, the noir style incorporates a lot of comedy elements, which has always placed super high demands on the actors.

The Coen brothers locked the actor of "Murder Green Toe" to Hugo, not for Hugo's current worth, but for Hugo's outstanding acting skills, which has hidden his comedic talent deep in his heart. This is undoubtedly great news for Hugo, not only because the Coen brothers were not deterred by the amazing box office of "Independence Day", Hugo is still listed first on the list of cooperation-this is for limited budgets and needs to be relaxed. It was a very difficult decision to create an independent film in the environment; and because the Coen brothers saw Hugo's idea of ​​comedy performance.

Logically speaking, Hugo should be extremely excited, but now Hugo's mind is not above the script at all. Is it because the tour is about to start? Is it because he has decided to temporarily focus on the tour, is the movie currently postponed? Is it because the "Murder Green Toe" script has not yet met Hugo's requirements?

Obviously not.

Recalling the situation when the Coen brothers appeared just now, Hugo was actually more or less absent-minded, because Cameron was packing upstairs, which made it difficult for Hugo to concentrate. Hugo knows very well that after Cameron took over the new job this time, the two of them will not have direct communication opportunities for at least two months, which means that the cold war between the two of them will be in a short period of time. It will not end.

But is this really good? If you just ignore it and let it go, no one knows what will happen in the end, maybe it will just fall apart, maybe it will gradually become a stranger like this, maybe it will recombine if nothing happened...no one can be sure of anything.

Hugo knew that someone had to bow his head, presumably Cameron knew too. Just now Hugo was trying to lower his head, so after he sent away the Coen brothers, he blocked Cameron in the path next to the swimming pool, but Cameron did not give him a chance—or to be more precise, Yu If I don’t know how to bow his head: the tour is imperative. His apology, his comfort, and his explanation can’t meet Cameron’s requirements. He has never been able to give up the tour. He also yearns for Cameron’s understanding, but There is no way for two people to communicate.

What exactly does Cameron want? Is it just sweet talk? Or is it your own company? Or is it... your own confession, "I love you"? Is it really just that simple? Or are there more profound and complex requirements?

Hugo's head is occupied by countless thoughts, and he can't even concentrate on thinking. The script of "Murdering Green Toes" excites Hugo, but there is no way to distract Hugo completely. This feeling is really terrible.

"Hugo, the beginning of this script is so interesting. Are you sure you are not going to follow?" Alex was attracted by the script after turning two pages and shouted to Hugo happily, "But, You will be on tour for the next six months, don’t they know? Is there really no problem with the schedule?"

Since the time of the Glory to the Dead tour was confirmed, although Rick’s film schedule is still uninterrupted, the major film companies still have a little control, and more of the long-term plan is brought out to negotiate with Rick, and few people come over. Disturb Hugo directly After all, a tour will take six months, no one can be sure what will happen in six months-at least during the time of the tour, Hugo is absolutely impossible Respond to new works.

Hugo's mind was very confused. For a while, he didn't hear Alex clearly. Joseph obviously felt that Hugo was not in the state today. He sighed softly in his heart, and then voluntarily replied, "Their script is going to be released next year. The filming started half a year, and now there are only scripts, nothing else, including investment, etc., needs to be planned slowly."

"Oh..." Alex reacted directly. The plan for a year later is now taken out. It can be seen that the Coen brothers are well prepared. "They must be worried that after the Hugo tour, there will be too many appointments. , When the time comes, the competition will be fierce, so let's make a good relationship now."

Although this is the case, Alex's ridiculous voice always felt a little bit more joyful, which made Hugo finally come back to his senses, and couldn't help but shook his head and pulled out a wry smile.

"But, Hugo, are you really not at all inclined to the new works after the tour?" Alex asked the core question that countless people are curious about. (To be continued.
