When he left Sunset Plaza, Hugo's heart was a little confused.

When we met last time, Ernst was accusing Hugo of not writing the script for a long time. After that, Hugo also had some inspiration, but he did not stick to it. From today's perspective, Ernst was actually asking Hugo for help, but he ignored it. This reminds Hugo of the situation when he wrote the "Before Sunrise" script.

It can be said that Hugo started the script creation step by step under the guidance of Ernst, showing a whole new world for Hugo. Not only did Hugo create the script, but it also gave Hugo a new understanding of the script's story line and character construction. Later, Hugo was able to make a breakthrough in acting. The overall situation and sense of the overall situation in this regard gave the necessary help.

But as Ernst said, Hugo is lazy, and his creative inspiration is consumed bit by bit in the squally rain of Vanity Fair.

Later, there was the album "Blurry Rain" and the world tour, and then there was the performance of "L.A. Confidential". He was getting back on track bit by bit, but the screenwriting work was still in the dark corner. Did not wake up. For Ernst, is Hugo guilty? Obviously not, it is more of empathy.

In fact, Ernst and Catherine Hepburn, Paul Newman and other superstars are exactly the same. They have experienced the peak of their careers, and they have also endured the lows of their careers. At the end of their artistic life, they have moved away from the spotlight. the way. Catherine returned to Broadway, Paul continued his career as an actor on the big screen, and Ernst waited quietly beside Hollywood in Sunset Plaza.

Because Ernst is different from Catherine and Paul, his entire life as a screenwriter has never really stood at the peak, as if... it was like a career that he had enjoyed all his life without official recognition. That kind of loneliness and silence is beyond the understanding of others.

In Ernst's body, Hugo saw his own shadow-not the same development trajectory, but the ups and downs and confusion in the Hollywood Vanity Fair.

Therefore, Hugo intends to create this script. He did not create this script for Ernst, but got inspiration from Ernst to create such a script for himself. Hugo hopes that the male protagonist can tailor himself and outline a true story.

In the next period of time, Hugo focused on the shooting of "L.A. Confidential" during the day, and when he returned home at night, he would start writing scripts. This time, Hugo changed his creative method. He initially planned to create two characters, one man and one woman. The male protagonist is naturally a weird person based on Ernst, while the female protagonist is set to be an understanding publisher editor.

But after creating a full 13 acts, Hugo found the story unconvincing. Not only was it cliché—like a distorted version of "Beautiful Lady in Wind and Moon," but the core idea was completely messed up. The heroine had no charm at all. It's like a vase.

For this reason, Hugo re-designed the heroine. He thought about the type of "When Harry meets Sally" friend turns into a lover, and he also thought about the type of letter teaser in "Night Sleep in Seattle"... …But later discovered that these are the routines of love stories. He really hopes to write a story about love, not because love can make people change, but because the sincere emotion can bring people closer, not necessarily It's love, maybe friendship or family affection.

After changing the six versions of the heroine, Hugo feels that he has fallen into a dead end. There is a lively male protagonist in the script, but there is no good entry point. Fortunately, Hugo now has enough control to distinguish reality from performance, and his understanding and control of the role of Ed is absolutely convincing, so it did not affect the filming work of the crew, but Even so, Charlize noticed Hugo's frustration.

Facing Hugo's deflation, Charlize seemed to gloat, "The rare and amazing Mr. Lancaster will also get into trouble. This scene is not common." Hugo can't help but can't refute it. After understanding Hugo’s dilemma, Charlize put forward a novel point of view, “I don’t understand why you are always limited to two protagonists, one man and one woman. In fact, you can give the story more possibilities.”

Hugo originally wanted to refute, because most of the movies that explore the soul are focused on the male and female protagonists, but he immediately understood what Charlize meant. The focus is on the male and female protagonists but not necessarily only the male and female protagonists. The simplest example is the "Seven Deadly Sins". Strictly speaking, the "Seven Deadly Sins" should be three male protagonists. The inheritance and opposition between the two detectives is maintained by a criminal, but weird but mysterious. Triangle relationship.

The addition of any character can have many meanings. The most common one is to break the fixed pattern between the two characters, add more unknowns to an uncertain relationship, make the story wonderful, and at the same time increase the relationship between the characters. The interaction and space of the screen give the screenwriter more room for in-depth discussion. This is also the reason why it is difficult to write a one-man show, because there is only one protagonist, so there is too little space to play.

So, if you join a character, how should you join? What is his or her setting, what is the relationship between this role and the hero and the heroine, what role does it play between them, or what role does it play in the advancement of the story?

So, such an interesting scene appeared on the set of "L.A. Confidential". During the break, Hugo and Charlize were arguing...arguing regardless of occasion and location.

At the elevator door, Hugo rolled his eyes and said, "For God's sake, add a killer? This is a sign of your barren imagination. Please, at least you can give me a spy to be more decent." Charlie next to him. But I did not show any weakness, "Haha, then adding a neuropathy is very innovative?" "Hey! The male protagonist is a certain degree of neuropathy, they can be known because of a mental illness or a psychologist!" "You think you are. Are you filming'Flying Over the Mad Asylum'? What a genius!"

In the gap between drinking water in the dressing room, Charlize spread his hands and complained silently, "Imagination, give me a little bold imagination. Same. Sex. Love? This is your best idea? Why don't you write about a black gay, Or an Asian transgender person, this is called boldness!" Hugo directly gave a middle finger, "I am writing about quirks, not species. Clan revolution. Fate, if I want to write, I will write artificial intelligence enslaves mankind." The makeup artists next to them turned pale in shock.

Between the changes, Hugo happily ran up to Charlize and said happily, "What do you think of adding a pet? For example, a puppy?" Charlize looked at Hugo speechlessly, without speaking at all. You can see his attitude, but Hugo widened his eyes, "I think it's a good idea to use a puppy as a link for the hero and heroine to recognize." "So, you have given up on humans and chose a puppy. Mr. Lancaster, you really refreshed my understanding of the script. Wonderful!"

As Hugo and Russell and Charlize were talking to each other, Charlize suddenly widened his eyes, "What do you think about writing about a neighbor? You live next door to this neurotic male protagonist? Then they got in touch because of the neighbor’s pet dog. What's the conflict?" Hugo curled his lips, pondering, and said ironically, "So, besides the puppy, there is another neighbor?" Charlize directly raised his right hand to Hugo. The middle finger. Russell, who was standing next to the line, opened his eyes as if seeing two monsters, standing beside him innocently and frozen into a statue.

……

Similar quarrels occur almost every day, although most of the time, the ideas of Hugo and Charlize are not feasible, because writing a script does not write a few characters and put them together to end; it is not one at the same time. A simple story connects several characters with no personality together, even if it is a script. For truly excellent scripts, characters and stories complement each other, and personality and ideas promote each other. Even if there is no need to deliberately promote and explain, the core ideas can be revealed from the character setting and the words and sentences.

is different from "before sunrise" to move all the questions out and discuss them directly on the table. Hugo hopes that this script is full of wisdom, and different audiences can see different ideas from the story, just like a Rubik's cube.

However, what's interesting is that Charlize's writing process of "Before Sunrise" gave Hugo a lot of inspiration, and this time is no exception. Although most of Charlize's ideas were not feasible, and many of Hugo's ideas were also shot down by Charlize, during the discussion, Hugo got a lot of inspiration and his ideas became clear bit by bit.

Hugo thinks it’s a good choice to join a role. This role can be the actor’s next door neighbor. He is also an art creator. Hugo is still considering whether he is a painter or a photographer, and what his profession is. The special implication is that it is obviously not done by just picking one at random. Hugo also hopes to establish a complete background for this story and integrate it with the story.

The reason why he chose an art creator is because this neighbor also has his own quirks, and his paranoia about art is often elusive At the same time, he is still the same. sex. Love-a group that was still completely marginalized by society in the early nineties, so he was also a social weeder. Even though his works are brilliant, only a small number of people can appreciate it. Unlike the male protagonist, the neighbors often hold parties and he surrounds the crowd for a long time, but this kind of noise can't make him feel self-identification, and the excitement makes his life more lonely and lonely—the emptiness after the party is almost Let him suffocate.

What's worse, because he is the same. sex. His parents did not want to identify with him as Lian, and even regarded him as a snake and scorpion, avoiding it, lest his identity would subvert their normal lives. This made him live in this cold world like the hero.

This is the similarity between two people, completely different, but the essence is very close. Perhaps it is a good idea for a pet dog to become the link between the two neighbors in the Antarctic and the Arctic.
