When Hugo saw the last sentence of Ernst's postscript, he couldn't help but laughed, "Finally...you are not Melvin." It is concise and clear, and there is no room for maneuver. The typical Ernst style can even be used in The irritability and disgust when Ens wrote this sentence was depicted in his mind.
There was no signature on the note, and there was no identifying mark, but Hugo knew that this was the comment from Ernst, which made Hugo's mood suddenly lighter-because Ernst did receive the script, and After reading it carefully, he gave him enough advice.
Hugo walked to the sofa next to him and read Ernst's note carefully again. In addition to severely criticizing the role of Simon, Ernst also believes that Hugo's description of Melvin is too detailed.
Ernst believes that he can indeed outline Melvin's entire image from Hugo's text, but this is precisely the most regrettable point in the script. "Hugo, you must know that sometimes, letting the audience guess the story behind the character is part of the fun in itself."
This is a whole new world for Hugo.
When performing, Hugo conceived the background information of the role as complete as possible. Because the space of the role in the movie is limited, he needs to establish the role completely in his mind, so that every move during the performance There are traces to follow. This is to increase the depth and width of the performance and give the character soul where the audience can't see it.
But according to Ernst, doing so during the script writing process is not necessarily correct. On the one hand, the screenwriter gives too much framework to the character, which is actually a performance space that restricts the actors; on the other hand, the screenwriter fills up the story too much, which is not conducive to the director’s performance and the audience’s comprehension. The most likely situation is the screenwriter’s The sketch was too detailed, and the director couldn't fit in the space, so he deleted it without authorization, so that the characters became sloppy, far away from the screenwriter's original idea.
Of course, this is not to say that such an approach must be wrong. It must be based on the subject matter, genre, script, and role. Adapting measures to local conditions is the reason. Melvin in "Perfect Perfection" is obviously like this.
Hugo gave Melvin too many personal things, the image is very three-dimensional, but more and more deviated from his own expectations, so as to create a brand new image. But in fact, this story Hugo hopes to tell the loneliness, loneliness, and indifference of incomplete people in the pursuit of perfection. Therefore, the "incomplete" part tends to be more attractive than the "complete" part, and it is more important to rely on the actor to give Melvin vitality.
Ernst only wrote a page, but there were endless sparks that collided in Hugo's mind. It has to be said that Hugo originally thought it was a perfect script, but now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement. How to use the power of words to convey the core ideas of the screenwriter in a calm manner is still a topic for Hugo. There is a long way to go.
Suddenly, Hugo decided that he didn't want to play Melvin.
Not because of Charlize's new path just now, nor because of Ernst's accurate advice, but because Hugo hopes to truly concentrate on the screenwriter's perspective and give life to the entire script. Compared to actors, Hugo prefers to be the teller of the "perfect" story; compared to the role of Melvin, Hugo pays more attention to the relationship between the three roles of Melvin, Simon and Carol. spark.
Of course, if Hugo insists on starring in Melvin, no one will object. This is originally his script, and for investors, it is great news. Hugo can also revise the script and reduce Mel. The details of the text, and then use his performance to inject more personal touch into Melvin. As long as Hugo is willing, these can be done.
However, Hugo didn't want this. For the first time, Hugo had a keen interest in the work of screenwriter. He wanted to write the script "Perfectly" seriously, with all his heart and soul.
Lifting his head, Hugo saw Charlize coming out of the game room bouncely. With a big smile, he raised his voice and said, "I decided to give up playing'Perfect'."
Charlize smiled and looked at Hugo, "What? You said you decided not to play'Perfect'?" Hugo nodded in affirmation. Charlize raised his eyebrows and thought about it seriously. Well, you can concentrate on being a screenwriter and prove your ability."
Charlize immediately understood Hugo's thoughts, which made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth bloomed freely, "You know how much I like this script." The smile in Charlize's eyes also bloomed like sunshine, "Yes. It's not that I haven't come out of the "L.A. Secret" yet, I will definitely fight for the role of Carol."
Although Charlize rarely praises Hugo positively, she must admit that the script "Perfectly Perfect" is too amazing. The best part of Hugo is not to write a creative script, but to write a clichéd script. The story is endowed with three characters’ souls. Almost everyone can find their own part in these three characters. It is like Charlize’s refusal to fairy tales in Carol’s predicament. But I can't help but look forward to the fairy tale becoming a reality.
This skill is rare for a screenwriter. Although Hugo never wants to admit it, Charlize firmly believes that Hugo is a very talented screenwriter, perhaps not inferior to Hugo as an actor and as a singer.
"Trust me, you made a wise choice." Charlize reduced the frizz when playing the game just now, and all the impetuosity settled down, and said seriously.
Charlize’s firm expression made Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, “Maybe I made a wise choice, but it was a wrong decision. The budget for'perfectness' is estimated to be shrinking.” As a screenwriter , Hugo’s appeal is not so strong.
This made Charlize laugh happily, "We always have to pay some price, don't we?" Charlize then turned and walked towards the kitchen, took a four-liter bottle of Coke, and two large bags of French fries. , Walked towards the game room, and when she passed Hugo again, she stopped, "So, does this mean you are going to star in'Trumen's World'?"
Hugo was stunned. He had been thinking about "perfectness" just now. Now Charlize said, "I hope so, if I am still the first pick on their list of co-actors."
"Trust me, you are number one on anyone's list of cooperation." Charlize rolled his eyes and stepped forward after speaking. Just before she entered the game room, the light and fluttering voice came over. "Except for the screenwriter named Hugo Lancaster." Then Charlize shouted, "Coke, fries, who wants?"
Hugo was left standing alone, laughing dumbfounded.
Abandoning "perfect perfection" and choosing "Trumen's world", is this really a correct choice? In fact, Hugo himself is not sure. Deep down, he still hopes that he can play the "perfectly perfect" role, but maybe, as he thought, and as Charlize said, this is a wise choice. People can't be too greedy, always thinking about looking forward to the land.
Therefore, perhaps "perfectness" is a touchstone to test Hugo's control as a screenwriter, apart from all other things, just as a screenwriter. At the same time, Hugo can also devote himself to the filming of "Trumen's World". The role of Trumen... Even if he just thinks about it in his mind, Hugo feels excited, but when he is excited, he is extremely excited. Tricky:
Because Hugo doesn't know how to perform the role of Truman now, it seems that all his previous methods are useless, and comedy is binding his hands and feet.
Looking down at the note in his hand, Hugo couldn't help thinking, maybe he should think about it from another angle. This is a challenge, but also an opportunity, and it is also a challenge he has been looking forward to for a long time.
Thinking of this, Hugo picked up the phone and made a call to Rick, "I decided to star in "Trumen's World"."
"What about'Perfect and Perfect'?" Rick was actually in a meeting at this time, but the content of the meeting was the two works "Perfect and Perfect" and "Trumen's World", so he calmed everyone down.
"I will focus on the screenwriting work. Now the script needs to be revised. Give me a few days to sort out my thinking. Then, I will communicate with the director and the protagonist to complete my job Work, the rest will be handed over to the crew." Hugo made the final decision.
Rick nodded slightly, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. This situation is undoubtedly the best situation for Endeavour Elite Agency-the two Hugo works started at the same time, which is perfect!
"Then show everyone your talent as a screenwriter, I think many people can't wait." Rick's thinking is the same as Charlize, which makes Hugo laugh, "Yes, I feel'perfect. 'You still can't let go. Even as a screenwriter, you should be a member of the producer. Of course, you can't do everything like'L.A. Confidential'. I mean, let you check the script. After all, this one The work is of great significance to you, isn't it?” It is also of great significance to Endeavour's elite brokerage company.
"I know what you mean, but... let's talk about it, I will modify the script first, and then..." Hugo pondered, "Then see who you are working with." DreamWorks, Sony Columbia Pictures and Paramount, who will persist to the end and become the "perfect" investment producer?
"Okay, I see." Rick immediately hung up the phone and looked at his colleagues in the conference room. "Guys, our company is going to make a big move again. Next, let's watch this. How will Guan end up?"
