After saying that, Robert raised the champagne glass in his hand and gestured to Hugo, and then turned around and took a step towards the balcony without waiting for Hugo's response.

Hugo stood there and didn't move, but silently watched Robert leave.

Hugo is not good at these intrigues, this is not his field; at the same time, his overall view is also lacking, it is often difficult to stand outside the entire chess game to examine the meaning of each move. These tasks are more often handed over to Joseph and Rick. But this does not mean that Hugo knows nothing.

Obviously, Robert came here today, step by step, even if Hugo's first attack disrupted the plan, Robert still let things go according to the original plan. Of course Hugo can turn around and leave, ignore it, and re-hold the initiative in his hands; but Hugo also knows that things don’t work like this, and his avoidance will not solve the problem. On the contrary, he should follow along and figure out what Robert is planning. What, then firmly hold the decision right in the palm of your hand——

If Disney really wants to cooperate with Hugo on a project, then all of Robert's strategies are actually just foreshadowing, and it is the script that can really move Hugo. Both Hugo and Robert knew this.

Therefore, even if Hugo understands that Robert is being led by the nose now, he should follow. What's more, Hugo's curiosity was indeed aroused. He was really curious about what kind of work Robert's thoughtful words would lead to.

With a long sigh, Hugo put the champagne in his hand on the table next to him, and then stepped towards the balcony.

Pushing open the wooden door of the floor-to-ceiling window, a gust of wind swept in, dissipating the warmth in the room, and the air became bitter in an instant, but at the same time, the courage and warm words behind him were also blown away. The world was quiet, as if it were two completely different spaces, the sky full of stars outside the balcony and the lights of thousands of families that stretched out on the horizon complemented each other. There is a thrilling beauty swaying freely under the dark night.

"People are always easy to overlook the scenery around them. In many cases, you can see a completely different scenery from just one door." Robert held a champagne glass, pretending to say in a high degree, and couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking. When you get up, you will break your work in one fell swoop. After breaking the unpredictable atmosphere just now, he turned his head and looked at Hugo. "I thought that this sentence would be very appropriate, but I found out that I am not Rimbaud."

Hugo was amused by Robert's frankness, and stepped forward, "Although it's a bit out of date,... you are telling the truth." Hugo also raised his head and looked at the starry sky, one after another. The stars seemed to fall down at any time, the bright starlight within reach made the whole person's spirits lifted, and even the curvature of the corners of the mouth could not help but rise high.

Robert didn't speak immediately either. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he was silent. After a while, his voice came along with the wind, "Hugo, have you considered starring in a horror movie?"

horror movie? Hugo never thought that Robert would mention this type of work, not only because Disney, as a family carnival company, has almost no relationship with horror movies; but also because horror movies are a very special theme in the history of film. . Make people love and hate.

Strictly speaking, "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "L.A. Secrets" can only be regarded as thriller movies, not horror movies-at least not purely horror movies. In addition to the "seven deadly sins", a large number of outstanding horror films appeared in film history, especially at the peak of the 1940s and 1950s, with directors headed by Alfred Hitchcock. Push the horror movie to the pinnacle of history.

From "Thirty-nine Steps (The. 39. Steps to "Rear." and then to "The Horror (, Alfred almost relied on his own power to carry forward horror movies. Bringing this type of movie to the top has become an indispensable part of the film industry, and even many movie audiences have become loyal fans of horror movies, but the minority is diehard.

But I want to make an excellent horror movie. It has never been a simple matter, especially when the film industry gradually developed, the scary methods and psychological thrillers in horror movies have been familiar to the audience. Thinking of scaring people while still maintaining super high quality, this has almost become An impossible task. More horror films have become assembly-line products, just for scaring people and scaring people, putting together a bunch of scary bridges, and only reducing them to a "haunted house game" that allows people to experience fright in 90 minutes.

After entering the 1980s, the output of horror movies remained high, although there were "Friday the 13th (. The. 13th, "Living Jumping Corpses (Re-, and "Ghosts (The...). dead and other masterpieces, but horror movies have gradually lost their essence and become adrenaline-stimulating works of **** flesh and blood. This makes the loss of the audience of horror movies more and more severe, and the audience base that is not too rich is getting weaker and weaker.

Throughout the long film history so far, only three horror films have been nominated for Oscars, "The Exorcist (The. in 1973, "Jaws" in 1975, and "The Silent Lamb" in 1991. . In addition, Alfred’s "Northwest by Northwest", "The Birds (The., Stanley Kubrick’s "The Shining", and David Fincher’s "Seven Deadly Sins" are praised Constantly, but it has not been recognized by the academy-even if it is only nominated for the best picture, it is even weaker than the comedy.

Many film critics believe that horror movies will gradually be submerged in the dust of history like western movies, highway movies, and song and dance movies, and become outdated products.

Therefore, film companies are now cautious when investing in horror movies. Even with the success of the "seven deadly sins" and the dazzling "twelve monkeys", the horror movies still have not been able to return to the mainstream sight again. , Not to mention the fact that computer visual effects have generally triggered a craze throughout Hollywood.

Hugo turned to look at Robert, showing a ridiculous smile, "Are you talking about works like the'Seven Deadly Sins'?"

Robert couldn't help but pause. It seemed that he was a little embarrassed because he had forgotten the "Seven Deadly Sins". He tilted his head slightly, then smiled and shook his head. Said, a horror movie in the traditional sense."

"The Silent Lamb" and "Seven Deadly Sins" are actually not horror movies in the strict sense. The former has created an indelible image of a serial killer, and even makes the serial killer in real life bleak, and Dr. Hannibal has become a horror symbol; the latter shows a completely different appearance, intricately Combining religious complexes, criminal psychology, and desperate emotions together established a new height for film noir.

These two movies are not horror movies, but the murder scenes and psychological thrillers in the movies are not inferior to the real horror works. The same is true of "L.A. Confidential". In fact, it is more of a suspenseful work, but the suspense created by the suspense in the movie makes people feel the excitement and pleasure of the peak period of horror movies again.

So, strictly speaking, Robert is not wrong. Hugo did not appear in a horror movie.

Hugo thought about it carefully, and nodded slightly in agreement, "So, are you talking about horror movies like "Scary" or horror movies like "Ghosts"?"

In fact, Hugo's research on horror movies is very scarce, and only those classics are handed down. Because the quality of horror movies is too uneven, many vulgar and inferior horror movies can’t even do the most basic “scary”, let alone the plot, the characters, and the core. Watch those terrible horror movies. It's a waste of time.

"No, I mean horror movies like'The Shining'." Robert's words made Hugo widen his eyes, showing a look of surprise.

Stanley Kubrick is not a master of horror movies, but the movie "The Shining" is a work that cannot be ignored in the history of horror movies. The style of Stanley displayed in this work is even reminiscent of it again. Alfred Hitchcock.

"The Shining" can definitely be regarded as a classic in horror movie classics. The scene scheduling is like a textbook. The sound effects, framing, shots, atmosphere, and rhythm are extremely exciting. The characterization and psychological exploration are even more profound. Jack Nicholson relied on this movie to truly put himself in the annals of history. With almost no **** shots, the whole film is pressing hard until it completely collapses, and the piercing horror makes people shudderThe Shining" has been the prehistoric classic horror film for many years. Five, even the well-deserved first place in the minds of many film critics-surpassing the master of horror Hitchcock! Oscar did not give any nominations to this film, and it is still considered a major mistake. Become countless film critics' best talk about teasing academy after dinner.

Robert actually used this work to rival "The Shining", and the confidence and ambition between his gestures and gestures were vented in an instant. It’s no wonder that Robert has been brewing for such a long time, planning and moving, and he found Hugo almost in the absence of any plan. He set a chess game that Hugo could not refuse, and let Hugo come in on his own initiative. The ambition of this horror movie is undisguised. It's as if Kevin Pence was for "Independence Day".

Robert, who has always performed perfectly, seems a little gaffe at this moment, and his unwavering tone is even a little arrogant. This is not good news. Is this because he is too young after all and has lost control; or is this "gaffe" itself part of his plan?

Hugo couldn't help but carefully looked at Robert again, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile, "Robert, you successfully stirred up my curiosity, but also successfully raised my expectations. Value." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome)
