Chapter 970： 1 hit

Richard Linklater once conceived such a story in his mind.

A man and a woman met, and they looked right. They decided to find a place to explore each other's body, but this was a strange city, and they didn't find a suitable place in the first place. On their way to the motel, the two had to start chatting.

This is supposed to be the most taboo link when a night’s passion occurs, because chatting will touch a person’s soul, and the conversation will leak a person’s soul, often destroying pure physical attraction, and then gradually losing interest. However, the two people found that they were more attracted to each other because the chat allowed them to discover the similarities and differences between each other.

So the two gave up going to the motel, instead looking for a bar to sit down and chat. Dialogue is going on, love is heating up.

Richard thinks this is a good story, because this story can show the most essential thing in love: whether human beings love each other because of the attraction of the body or the attraction of the soul.

People who believe in love at first sight choose the former because the attractiveness brought by their appearance cannot be restrained; those who believe in seeing true love for a long time choose the latter, because love is not only impulse, but also management and ideological fit. Let love last, but just impulse is animal nature. That's it.

Such a story is worth chewing and savoring, but it is a pity that Richard has not been able to write this script because he has been thinking about the difference between men and women. On the same issue, men and women How different opinions should collide and how they should complement each other is not an easy task. The lines are the decisive link for such a script.

Then Richard saw the script "Before Sunrise", which came from an unfamiliar and familiar name, Hugo Lancaster. He said that he was unfamiliar because he never knew that Hugo was able to write a script; he said that he was familiar naturally because there were almost no residents in Los Angeles who did not know this person.

When Richard read the first scene at the beginning of the "Before Sunrise" script, he fell in love with the script uncontrollably, because the dialogue between a man and a woman was so interesting that he couldn't stop it. Richard finished reading the whole script in a hurry. After reading it, he felt a little bit late. He wanted to see Hugo the first time, and he wanted to share all his thoughts with Hugo.

This is the first time Richard has been interested in Hugo, otherwise he would not have any interest in such a talented but superior actor, because he knows that there is no possibility for them to cooperate.

Last night, Richard wanted to rush over to Sunset Plaza after reading the script, but after he rushed out of the house, he realized that it was already 12:30 in the morning. Obviously it was not a good time to visit a stranger who had never met before. . So Richard resisted to this day.

After the meeting, Richard became nervous uncontrollably, but then he discovered that Hugo was not above the top. He looked like the neighbor next door-of course, this neighbor was more like the handsome man in the movie, he Kind and gentle, self-deprecating relaxed and humorous, Richard quickly relaxed. This is a windfall.

"So, how did you think of creating such a script?" Originally looking forward to this meeting, Richard's thoughts immediately turned around after a little relaxation, but the question came out without waiting for Hugo to answer. He said directly, "In fact, I have always wanted to create a similar story..."

Hugo had already opened his mouth, but Richard did not stop, Hugo could only continue to listen.

Hugo thinks this is indeed a very magical thing. His source of inspiration is to travel through the "Before Sunrise" filmed by Richard before, but now, the "Before Sunrise" script has become a version created by Hugo. However, Richard still produced a similar idea, and it was also different from the version in Hugo’s mind. This made the discussion between Hugo and Richard more heated, and new inspiration came out again. The script was refined.

Two people were sitting in the hall, just like Hugo and Charlize, Cameron, Alex, Joseph and others discussed the script before, regarding "before sunrise", regarding the difference between men and women's thinking, and regarding life A discussion about values ​​was started. Although it was only the first time that two people met, the sense of jerky and distance quickly disappeared. When one concentrates on a topic, all other additional factors will disappear, just focus on On this topic.

The two even rummaged through the typewriters and wrote down their thoughts in the lobby. After the two people discussed the issues, the two found that they were most satisfied with the beginning and ending of the whole story. Especially the latter. As Charlize said at the time, this ending is the most in line with the style of the story, and it is also the most perfect ending.

Richard relaxed himself, but when he noticed that the topic was over, he couldn't help but feel a little restrained. He looked around and hesitated and said, "So... do you have any thoughts about actors?"

Hugo pointed to Charlize, who was sitting next to him reading the newly released script paper, "She is the girl and I am the boy."

Richard turned his head and saw Charlize with a clean face. Charlize had just woke up at this time. She did not put on makeup, but simply **** her golden hair with a shark clip. She wore a simple white dress and pajamas. There was no special dressing, and there was even some sloppyness. But she exudes a charming lazy temperament, which makes people look at her more involuntarily.

Charlize raised his head and smiled at Richard, waved his hand casually, and then lowered his head again to concentrate on the script. But Richard laughed with satisfaction, "She really looks like Selena." On the contrary, Hugo doesn't have Jesse's wanton wind, and Hugo is even more than Jesse. It's more sunny, and more gentleman, that kind of wandering temperament is slightly insufficient. However, Richard knows that Hugo is an excellent actor, and he believes that Hugo can do it.

Hugo chuckled, "Selena can be regarded as a model of her, fifty percent?" Hugo raised the ending slightly and said briskly.

"So, you...?" Richard's gaze looked back and forth between Hugo and Charlize, implying that it couldn't be more obvious.

"No, no, we are friends, friends." Hugo repeatedly waved his hands and explained, "We all have our own date. However, we often discuss these topics at home, and many of the contents in the script are discussed by the two of us. content."

Richard realized that he was rude. He was not very interested in gossip gossip. Naturally he didn’t know that Hugo was dating Cameron now, so he asked a stupid question, “Sorry, I asked the wrong question. ."

"It's okay, we are all actors, professional actors." It was Charlize who was talking. She looked at Hugo with a smile, with an uncontrollable smile. In fact, imagine shooting a rivalry with Hugo. It is very interesting. If it were a year ago, she would have been tempted, but now, she can face it calmly, they are friends, this is something that can't be more certain.

Hugo looked at Charlize's ridiculous smile and stared contemptuously, but Charlize stared back without showing any weakness. Richard sitting in the middle quickly said, "So, I think, if I can serve as the director of this movie, that would be great!"

But before Hugo cheered happily, Alex jumped over and said, "Director, can I arrange a role for me in this script? You know, it doesn't matter if I pass by."

Richard was taken aback by Alex directly. He was stunned. Before he had time to speak, he saw Hugo punch Alex hard, and then threw Alex like a corpse. On the ground next to him, he sat down beside Richard casually, "That's really great, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, "By the way, in terms of investment, I mean there is no problem with the producer?" Richard realized that this is an important link. Because Hugo is just a screenwriter, if the producer is unwilling to be directed by Richard, then everything is in vain.

"Yes, no problem, David Geffen will be the producer, uh..." Hugo originally wanted to say that it was made by Gefen Pictures, but he was not sure if it was made under the name of DreamWorks. , So he paused, and then changed his words and said, "He will invest 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and we can go to the scene in Vienna."

Richard had heard of "2.5 million" before he could react from the name "David Geffen". You know, he had filmed two works before, and even a 100,000 investment would have to be raised. For a long time, now I actually got 2.5 million yuan in one breath, which really made Richard excited, "Wow, are you serious? This is really great. I should think about where I need it. This money. Maybe we can take real shots of every scene on the spot to increase the authenticity, including pedestrians, passersby, including the background..."

In the past, Richard used to shoot movies to save money, but now he suddenly becomes a rich man, but he is a little uncomfortable. Compared to David Geffen, the ample cost makes him happier.

"So, when can we start work?" Richard said eagerly, almost wanting to roll up his sleeves and start working.

Hugo shrugged, "Charlize has time, and I... also have time, maybe next week." Hugo is still not sure about the glory to death propaganda schedule. He remembered that Joseph told him that it was coming to an end yesterday. After that, there is no schedule, but I still need to check. "So, I think you can start preparing for the shooting plan today..."

"Hugo! And me!" Alex was depressed.

But Hugo directly ignored him, "Oh, yes, I should let you and David meet first, and Sally, we should have a meal, at least we need to communicate between filming. ..."

"Hugo Lancaster! Oh oh..." ()
