Robert Redford stopped at a position three steps away in front of Hugo, smiled and raised the champagne glass in his hand, "Sorry, I interrupted your entertainment time." After saying that, he still slightly hooked. The corner of his mouth did not hide his ridicule, but he appeared generous and decent, "I just think that if you don't come to say hello at this time, there will be no time for a while."

Robert looked at his left hand. Hugo subconsciously followed his gaze and looked towards his right hand. Not far away, many people were surreptitiously or blatantly cast their sights at the flashing lights. . Obviously, everyone is about to move.

Hugo smiled and looked at Robert, "Oscar night is always like this, isn't it? Busy moments of big people, busy moments of small people, there are always countless tasks to be busy." Outsiders always think that this night is the best. The film ended after it was announced, but in fact, it was just the beginning of the real busyness.

Robert has been very busy on Oscars these years, because he has been working hard to create more influence for the Sundance Film Festival, hoping that more people can cast their sights on independent film businessmen to read the full text. Since "Pulp Fiction", this matter has become a lot easier, but it still needs Robert to continue to promote and promote, which is the same as charity. Once it starts, there is no end.

"You are the same tonight, too." Robert said with a smile, "I also think that everyone will flock over in a while, so take this opportunity to take advantage of it in advance." Hugo thought that Robert was for the sacred pill. It’s not quite right to hear these words. Sure enough, Robert stretched out his right hand and said, "First formally introduce myself. Hello, my name is Robert Redford. I used to direct. Past works such as "Ordinary People", "Behind the Scenes Lies", and "The Horse Whisperers"."

Hugo didn't know what medicine Robert was selling in the gourd, so he held his right hand in a daze, "Hey, good evening...Mr. Redford, I'm glad we met for the ninety-ninth time."

Robert was amused by Hugo’s words. He smiled and shook his head. He denied Hugo’s cognition and explained, "I heard that you recently wrote a script and are looking for a suitable director. What do you think of me? ?"

"Director?" Hugo opened his pupils slightly, looked at Heath and Leonardo beside him, then at Robert, and Gwyneth just now. It suddenly became clear that all this was aimed at "beauty". "Mind" comes.

For nearly three months before, Hugo had been immersed in the adaptation of John Nash's biography at home, and missed the Golden Globe and Grammy Awards. In fact, this year the Grammy sent an invitation to glory to death. Hope They can perform on stage. But not only Hugo is not available, but Neal and Foggin are also not available. They are planning a "twisted tour" in the spring, this time not only in North America, but also in South America to further expand the scale of the tour. Therefore, Henry rejected the Grammy invitation.

When Hugo returned to Los Angeles, he came back with a "Beautiful Mind" adaptation of the script. There is no doubt that this script is bound to become a popular project. At present, only a few senior members of the script have read the script, and all the details about the script are kept secret. Only one thing is confirmed. In addition to taking the role of adapting the script, Hugo will also serve as a producer and actor.

This news alone is enough to make half of Hollywood a sensation. After the major film companies have taken action to grab the production rights, it is now the turn of the production team to become the gunman's seat. From the director to the actors, to the crew, almost every position has become the sweet bun that everyone yearns for.

Looking at Robert in front of him, Hugo unexpectedly remembered his first audition after the Golden Raspberry Awards.

It was an audition for "Dahe Love", and the director was Robert Redford. Hugo and Brad competed for the same role, and finally Robert chose Brad, that was the beginning. After that, he and Brad took two very different paths, and then walked all the way to where they are today.

Now, as time flies, they are no longer what they were seven years ago. However, Hugo did not expect that when he prepared his own "Beautiful Mind", Robert would come and recommend himself, hoping to become the director of the film, but this time, the decision-making power was replaced by Hugo.

Time is such an interesting thing, always mixing reincarnation and destiny in different ways, making it impossible to distinguish clearly.

Hugo is naturally not the little rookie who has never seen the world at the beginning. There is no personal grievance between him and Robert. On the contrary, Hugo has always been very supportive of the Sundance Film Festival, and there is still between the two. Many common languages. Therefore, Hugo did not intend to embarrass Robert now, but smiled politely, "It is obviously my honor to be able to interest the famous Robert. If you are interested, I can send the script after I go back. Give it to your agent, and you will contact me after reading."

Robert could feel the courtesy in Hugo’s words, and he did not rush to sell himself, because he knew that Hugo actually had many choices. The main reason why he came to recommend himself was mainly because of his biographical feelings about John Nash. interest. Now that Hugo can extend the hand of friendship, this is a successful step.

"Then I am waiting for a wonderful story." Robert also smiled and said politely.

After Robert turned and left, Leonardo quietly said to Hugo's ear, "Do you really want him to be the director?" Leonardo naturally knew about "Dahe Love", so he I don't always have a lot of favor with Robert You Fang Daoxian.

Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "No, I already have a director candidate in my mind, but... I haven't talked to him yet, so I don't know what he thinks."

If possible, Hugo still hopes that "Beautiful Mind" will be directed by Ron Howard. Not because of obedience to history, but because Lang is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Before 1999, Lang had never been a big hit in Hollywood. From his previous works, it can be seen that he is not a director full of personality like Paul Thomas Anderson or Quentin Tarantino. He can be regarded as the most obedient director in the Hollywood system, and he is familiar with the rules of the game in commercial films. Generally speaking, Landi's works are skilled and easy to understand. They can pack mainstream ideologies and values ​​in the most entertaining way, and they are just right to be sensational. It may be clichéd, but it is reliable and effective.

In fact, the excitement of Lang's works largely depends on the script, because his own creativity is insufficient, but he is very good at ingeniously stimulating the potential of wonderful scripts. It can be seen from the "Apollo 13" four years ago that he has the ability to combine dramatic scripts with high technology. Among Mesozoic directors, he plays steadily, never sensationalizes, but is diligent and conscientious. .

This is also the reason why Lang can exert such great energy in biographical films.

Because Lang is often able to give the character a real soul and unearth the core ideas of the script. On the basis of biographical facts that do not require any innovation, a perfect combination is found to make the film truly shine.

In the story of "Beautiful Mind", Hugo needs a director who can truly portray the pain and struggle of John Nash suffering from schizophrenia, and be able to show that process from a correct angle, bringing together family, friendship and love The importance of is quietly integrated into the story. This is a work that needs to resonate with the audience-to put it bluntly, it is a work that needs to be sensational; at the same time, it is also a work that needs to arouse the audience's reflection. Traditional impressions of schizophrenia.

There is no doubt that Lang is the most suitable candidate.

However, Hugo has not talked to Lang yet. After the "Apollo 13", Lang only launched a "ransom storm", which has achieved great commercial success, but the reputation is relatively ordinary. I just don't know if Lang currently has a project on hand.

While thinking about it, Leonardo interrupted Hugo’s thoughts, "So, I do have a role, right?"

Hugo looked at Leonardo's nervous expression, did not tease him again this time, nodded, "Yes, the role of William Pacher was written for you."

"William Pacher." Leonardo murmured carefully, trying to remember the character in his mind, but he just flipped through the script and hasn't really started to read it carefully The memory is really vague.

William Pacher is a very complicated and difficult character, and there is no obvious crutch in the background information of the character, but it needs the actor to break out a delicate and full of tension performance, which is more than "Titanic". Jack is more suitable for Leonardo's breakthrough role. Hugo believes that this is a big challenge for Leonardo, a difficult challenge.

Turning his head, Hugo saw Heath’s longing eyes, with anxious expression on his face, but not daring to speak easily, which made him laugh, "Heath, to be honest, I didn’t Did not deliberately arrange the roles. However, I think there is a role that suits you very well. We can read the script carefully and then you can try it."

Heath's expression suddenly became clear, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement.

But this tranquility lasted for less than three minutes before it was broken. As Robert said, Hugo tonight is the focus, the absolute focus, not only because he once again created history, but also because of the "Beautiful Mind", it has become the most high-profile project in Hollywood at present. People are eager to be one of them.

The reason is simple: Hugo Lancaster!
