"Oh, please, Rick, you know I will definitely be interested in this script." Hugo looked at Rick, who was looking into his expression seriously, and showed a helpless smile.

Rick shook his head solemnly, "No, we all know clearly that a good theme does not mean a good script. This is indeed a good theme. You will definitely be interested in an idea, but I haven't read it before. Before the script, we didn’t know the quality."

What Rick said was the truth, and Hugo couldn't say it. He had seen the script of "Trumen's World" a long time ago, and he was very interested, so now he can only be speechless. Seeing Hugo's dazed expression, Rick's eyes showed a rare triumphant look, and he was obviously satisfied with being able to refute Hugo.

"So, do you have any plans?" Rick and Hugo walked down the stairs again and saw Charlize and Leonardo playing tennis-Leonardo was being abused by Charlize. James and Alex next to them had already laughed so hard. "I read this script, and I have to say that this role is very challenging, and I even think it is more than'Death Row'."

Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? Let's talk about it in detail."

Rick pondered for a while, "First, it is a comedy. It is undoubtedly a brand-new attempt for you. I will not say that the comedy performance in'Night Sleep in Seattle' is your pinnacle." This makes it rain. Guo chuckled, "Secondly, the changes and shocks in Truman's heart, especially the feeling after finally knowing the truth, are unimaginable by any ordinary person, and it also requires you to interpret it in a comedy way. It is extremely difficult. It’s hard to imagine, I’m even thinking about whether the performance method needs to be changed, but...I’m not an expert."

Hugo smiled and nodded in affirmation, "The way of acting is definitely different. If a comedy is performed in a formal way of acting, unless the director is pursuing this kind of discordant sense of contradiction, it will be a show. Disaster." Especially "Trumen's World", it is not a simple comedy, but a black comedy full of irony to real life. It is obviously so absurd that the whole situation is so absurd that it makes people laugh, but After laughing, I realized that the cold deep into my bones makes people unable to laugh.

Kim Carey also made a huge breakthrough when he appeared in "The World of Trumen", but his performance is more biased towards comedy. The absurd sense of comical persistence has given Trumen a kind of innocent and happy spirit. It is a pity. However, it lacks some in-depth digging and detailed carving, which does not give more soul to Truman, and also makes the original intention of the story not really unearthed. "Trumen's World" is a masterpiece, but it is still a bit behind the classics.

Of course, Jin's performance can not only be said to be a failure, but also a commendable change. However, from an objective point of view of performance, this work should have more...more things worth remembering. The same situation also appeared in the later excellent "Eternal Sunshine of the Beautiful Mind (eternal... of the..., his performance has always lacked a little strength, a little depth and a little fire.

Hugo knows that from an academic perspective, it can be said to be the best, but it is not an easy task to be able to reach the height of gold in the real performance. The use of comedy performances to dig out the repercussions of thoughts and souls can almost be said to be one of the biggest problems in performances.

Imagine that it is not difficult to show the sadness and bitterness caused by injuries; but showing the loneliness and loneliness behind a smile requires a strong control and motivation.

This made Hugo start to ask himself: If he were to play the role of Truman, could he do better than Jin? Can he inject more different things into the characters-while still ensuring the comic briskness of the work? Can he make the audience feel the weight of the work and smile at the same time?

This is a big question mark, even Hugo himself cannot answer. But at the same time, it also made Hugo feel extremely excited. This may be another huge problem facing Hugo since the "seven deadly sins". The long and difficult acting road came before him.

If Hugo is allowed to discuss the two roles of "Perfect" and "Trumen's World", which is more difficult, it obviously does not make any sense, because the difficulty of performance of the two roles is second to none, as Rick said, even It surpasses any previous work of Hugo-because the two works are both comedies, Hugo's current acting skills can be retracted freely, but can the comedy effects be precisely controlled? No matter which role he plays, for Hugo, it is bound to open a brand new door and once again open a new level of acting.

But the question is, which one to choose?

"So, what do you think now? "Perfect" or "Trumen's World"?" Rick immediately heard his excitement from Hugo's words. For Hugo, it has always been him who challenged comedy. The dream thing, now not only the opportunity has appeared, but also two super high-quality works appeared in one breath. The happiness came so fast that people were caught off guard.

Hugo frowned and looked at Rick, but before he could speak, Rick shook his head and smiled and denied, "Now the schedule of the two works has not been fixed, so everything is unknown. I I don’t know if you can star in two works at the same time. However, my personal advice is not to be too greedy."

Hugo also knows that starring in any of these two works requires him to devote all his attention, even so he can't be 100% sure that he is competent. Therefore, greed is the most undesirable emotion at this moment.

"Or, do you tend to act in your own work?" Rick doesn't quite understand Hugo's worries and doubts about Melvin's role. In his opinion, Hugo is willing to act in a script created by himself. It must be better. But it's something.

Hugo shook his head with a chuckle, "I don't know, maybe I should read the script of'Trumen's World' before making a decision. I do know more about the script I wrote, but I am not sure about my script. It must be better." This is not humility, but self-knowledge.

Seeing Hugo's entanglement, Rick's mood was rare and brisk. Before Hugo repeatedly hoped to take over the comedy script, but he never found the right one. Now Hugo is facing a difficult choice. ——One of them is Hugo's own script, and the arc of Rick's mouth can't help but outline it.

"It's the same to me anyway." Rick said briskly, "Of course, the most perfect situation is that you star in'Trumen's World', and'Perfect' will form another crew." See Hugo Cast a suspicious look, Rick explained, "This way you can name two works, make the most of your current powerful influence, and the company can also get more opportunities."

"Vampire." Hugo only felt the corners of his mouth twitch, rolled his eyes, and vomited.

But Rick shrugged indifferently, "Of course, I just said that this is the most perfect situation. If you don’t play the leading role, "Perfect" can also attract investment and build a truly outstanding one. That’s the best cast, but I think Mark Canton doesn’t mean it. But...whatever you choose, it’s a good thing for the company.” Hugo’s hot eyes made Rick realized that he seemed a little overwhelmed, and there was even some gloat in his voice. He quickly reduced his smile and returned to his usual posture, and said seriously, "However, I think I should investigate first, Shirley-Lan. What is Xin planning behind? Her surprise attack today is obviously not that simple. So, you should read the script carefully before we make a decision."

After speaking, Rick didn't look at Hugo's eyes, nodded secretly, and then changed the subject, "Did Steven reply to you? What does he think of the investment prospects of the script?"

"No, I'm still waiting for his reply. But I think that an investment of 50 million US dollars is not that simple for them." Although Hugo is not clear about business matters, he knows that he is not accepting In the case of large consortium investment, DreamWorks funds are really limited.

It's like "Save Private Ryan", the entire project invested 70 million US dollars, which is also a major burden for Steven, so Allen's investment will be considered, but the problem is how to control the investment The right to speak try to avoid them from affecting the filming of the film, which is very warm. A boundary of ambiguity. The purpose of the establishment of DreamWorks is to get rid of the control of Wall Street, and Steven is naturally unwilling to let himself fall into this situation again.

Now that DreamWorks is planning the issuance department again, capital turnover is bound to become extremely difficult. Therefore, the "perfect" investment of 50 million US dollars is really not a small sum, or even a huge burden.

Rick also nodded in agreement, "I have a meeting with Steven tomorrow, I will ask him. Friends belong to friends, business belongs to business, trust me, Steven will not force himself. Of course, you If the project can be won, it is also very important to DreamWorks. Therefore, it still depends on their next development strategy."

Compared with Steven, what Hugo needs now is Ernst's advice. He still has a lot to learn on the road of script creation. Even setting aside "Trumen's world", Hugo must devote more attention to "perfection" in the next period of time. This is the top priority.

"I'll go to inquire about Paramount's actions in the past two days. Don't worry, they will definitely do them after they go back today." For the company, it was an excellent opportunity for rapid development, and he naturally didn't want to miss it.
