Lying on the wicker chair in the garden, the sun lazily spilled on the eyelids, the sea breeze rustled slowly in the ears, and there was a smell of sea water mixed with the dry and astringent fragrance of the grass in the air. The blooming wisteria flowers linger, as if time is slowing down in the fine sand on the soles of the feet.

"I made mistakes and broken dreams all day long. I heard the spring as I climbed as hard as I could. I stole my life for a long time because of the monks' words in the bamboo courtyard."

Hugo fell into a dreamland in a daze. The muscles that had been tight for a while recently gradually relaxed, and only felt that the warm halo surrounded him, and the tight nerves relaxed in an instant. Come.

The sound of "rustling" swayed slightly in the breeze, making it unclear whether it was the sound of the waves hitting the beach or the sound of the breeze blowing on the grass. Hugo opened his dim eyes, the dazzling light leaned into his eyes, and couldn't help closing his eyes again, raising his right hand to try to cover his eyes, only to find that the book on his chest fell to the ground and issued a "pop There was a muffled sound.

"Wake up?" Haifeng sent a lazy voice.

Hugo directly sat up, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and asked in a muffled voice, "What time is it?"

"It's almost four o'clock."

"Oh, God." Hugo rubbed his temples annoyedly. "I actually slept for three hours."

"If the screenwriter knew that his script actually made you fall asleep, should he be happy or depressed?" These words made Hugo raise his head, and then he saw the playful expression on Fujin's face, which made Hugo annoyed. Frozen for a moment, then also smirked.

Just now Hugo was planning to come over and read the script, but he fell asleep without expecting it. However, Hugo's sleep quality has not been very good lately, but the nap just now made him really relax, even if it was only three hours, but at this time he felt that the whole person was refreshed.

"Fujin, hey, hurry up, your speed is so slow, and the waves are coming in a while." Pedro's shout floated from behind, and then he saw him trotting all the way. Hey, Hugo!" Pedro is already wearing all surf gear, with drops of water dripping from his hair, and his face is excited, "How about it, do you want to come together?"

After coming to Long Beach, the band members are trying some outdoor activities to enrich their spare time and divert their attention by the way. So far, the results are very good. Hugo and they all tried surfing. Fokin and Pedro played the best, and now they go into the water almost every day. Alfonso likes to play sea motorcycles the most. Neil and Hugo are not very good, even if Going to the beach is also going to swim.

"Neil is also going to launch today, but he has all his equipment at home, so he will come over soon." Pedro happily sent out an invitation. Because Hugo's house is right by the beach, their surfing equipment is kept here, but Neil gave up after playing twice, and his equipment was left at home to accumulate dust.

Hugo shook his head, bent over and picked up the script on the ground, and shook it towards Pedro, "No, Joe and they are still waiting for my reply."

"If you feel bored, please come over at any time." After finishing speaking, Pedro turned around and ran away without waiting for Hugo to say hello.

Fujin explained, "He made an appointment with the two ladies today." Hugo immediately understood why Pedro was so excited and couldn't help laughing. Fujin also carried the surfboard and walked towards the beach. When he reached the garden exit, he paused and then shouted at Hugo, "If you can't decide, just let it go. Anyway, you don't urgent."

Hugo smiled and nodded, watching Fujin leave.

In the last two weeks of recuperation, Hugo's condition is gradually returning to normal, but further adjustments are still needed. Although he knows that the three scripts in his hand are excellent and they are rare opportunities, Hugo still finds it difficult to concentrate for a long time, often after 30 minutes or three quarters of an hour, he starts to lose his mind.

This situation will be faced after the tour is over, it is estimated that Hugo himself did not expect it. Fortunately, I was in a rare deep sleep state just now. At this time, the whole person's mental state has recovered a lot, and he let out a long sigh, and began to read the script again.

The three scripts of "L.A. Confidential", "Boji Ye", and "Murder of Green Toe" all have their own strengths and are not the same.

"L.A. Confidential" can be regarded as an atypical commercial film. As a commercial film, the story is too heavy and the flaws of the climax make it difficult for the film to open the box office, but the meticulous storyline and excellent rhythm control, but Let the script become full and rich, the three main characters are even more charming, colliding with amazing sparks.

It's easy to think of Christopher Nolan's later Batman series of movies. He gave superhero movies a whole new life, injecting contradictions such as "justice and evil, trial and revenge" into the simple storyline. The opposition of ideas, and the implementation of Batman's growth, makes the weak hero image plump and three-dimensional. Finally, with the powerful visual effects of the super blockbuster and the exciting plot setting, it created the miracle that the reputation of the superhero movie and the box office flew together.

From a certain point of view, "L.A. Confidential" also injects more thinking space into commercial films, about the opposition between black and white, about the ambiguity of gray areas, about money and power, and desire. The collision between hope and sin, justice and vengeance makes the story break away from the pure business story, and it is thought-provoking.

But the biggest flaw of "L.A. Confidential" is that it does not have the popular scenes of Christopher's "Batman Prequel" series. The weakness of visual effects makes the climax part not able to break out in one fell swoop. Although the retro-style gunfight design is very exciting, it makes people Feeling lack of strength at the door.

"Booji Ye" can be said to be a social epic, through sex. Affection. The perspective of industry reflects the social changes in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as mocking the entertainment industry’s focal effect and liking the new and disgusting the old. The principles maintained by the little people have inspired people to think about fame and wealth, success, and life. . Behind the glorious glitz is chilling decadence.

The reason why this film is highly praised by film critics is not without reason. Leaving aside the talent that director Paul injected into the film, starting from the script alone, the story captures a simple main line, but is attached to multiple intricate branches and uses characters. The group portrait interprets the entire era in miniature, not only reminiscent of the "angry bull", but also comparable to "pulp fiction."

Of course, the greatest success of "Boogie Nights" came from the director. Paul Thomas Anderson gave the movie a strange tone, saturated but with a kind of obscurity, and covered with a layer of psychedelic haziness, as if Suck. The world seen after the poison can be said to have injected special vitality into the movie in all aspects.

"Murder of Green Toe" is an unconventional black comedy that can be called evil. Classic, crazy and absurd humor style, bizarre character settings, complex tortuous, confusing plot, intense and lively rhythm, with the protagonists' exaggerated but aftertaste performances, dedicating a meticulously cooked American black humor.

Although many people say that "Murder of Green Toes" is not the most Coen brothers' movie, in fact, the biting and self-deprecating black humor incorporated in the movie is precisely one of the Coen brothers' best skills. In this movie, various whimsical details have become the biggest highlight of the story, and the narrative method that uses characters to promote the plot is also the only one of the three scripts in Hugo's hands.

"L.A. Confidential" is the ironic reality of Los Angeles in the 1950s, and "Boogie Nights" is the color of Los Angeles in the 1970s. Affection. The ups and downs of the industry, "Murder Green Toe" is a black comedy that took place in Los Angeles in the 1960s.

What’s interesting is that these three stories are all set in Los Angeles, and the time and background of the stories are also different. Even the "Murder Green Toe" who does not clearly mention the background of the times also mentions the influence of the times in many details of the script. This is also the background information that the Coen brothers paid attention to during the shooting.

If Hugo is interested in, he has always been interested in comedy, and "Murder of Green Toe" is a real comedy, undoubtedly the most suitable choice; but if according to the theme of the story, he is interested in " The color described in "Boji Night". Affection. The story of the industry is full of curiosity, and the absurd and exaggerated character settings are also very attractive; but if the decision is made according to the absolute quality of the script, the "L.A. Confidential" will undoubtedly be the final winner, regardless of Whether it is the character setting or the plot design, including the thickness of the story, this script is the most convincing.

Speaking of the director, the "Murder of Green Toe" Coen brothers is undoubtedly the first choice. Hugo and the Coen brothers have a very good friendship, not to mention one of Hugo's wishes to cooperate with them; Paul Thomas Anderson is definitely rain. One of Guo’s most hopeful directors is not only because of his talents, but also because of his understanding of roles and performances, which makes Hugo full of interest. As for the "L.A. Confidential" Curtis Hansen, despite his strength Slightly inferior, but the control he showed in this movie is also commendable.

From the perspective of the script alone, these three scripts are indeed similar. Choosing any one will not be wrong or fail. Choosing one of them means missing the other two, which is a pity in itself. Thing; then... Maybe Hugo should choose from the perspective of performance, starting from the role, thinking about the way of performance, and seeing which role is most worth exploring, which role is the most interesting, and which role is the most challenging?

But the problem is that Hugo's recent state is still unstable, and he is not sure whether he can sort out a line of thought and make the right choice. Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but feel a bit headache. It seems that that kind of dazed mentality has affected Hugo's judgment on the future development direction of the actor's career.
