Chapter 1861： New ideas

"How is it, how is the script study?" Charlize looked at Hugo walking into the game room and asked casually, but before Hugo could reply, she pointed to the TV screen and said, "Leo, you I'm about to lose again, hey, man, you really don't have any talent for playing games."

"Please, cheating, it must be Toby's cheating!" Leonardo yelled, refusing to admit defeat, and it made everyone boo. Charlize did not hesitate to put his thumb down without mercy. Then she turned her head and cast a suspicious look at Hugo, Hugo laughed blankly, "Yes, there is no doubt that this is a very wonderful script, I like it very much."

The corners of Charlize's mouth were drawn slightly, "Wow, your rating is so high? There are few scripts that can get you such praise now, right." They are discussing "Trumen's world", "If I remember correctly , You are not so excited even in the'L.A. Secret'."

Hugo shrugged, "There is no comparison.'Trumen's World' is a comedy, a subject that I have always been curious about, and it is far more difficult than other types of works for a comedy to have such a wonderful script." Hugo After a pause, I thought about it seriously, "Maybe except for horror movies."

"Then you have to struggle." Charlize said gleefully. One is a script written by himself, and the other is an excellent comedy of a lifetime. Although this is a trouble of happiness, it is estimated that no one wants to face it. The situation, "Is there still no news from Ernst?"

Hugo shook his head, the disappointment between his eyebrows did not hide, he was not even sure whether Ernst had received the script. Compared to Ernst receiving the script but no reaction at all, perhaps Hugo hopes that Ernst did not receive the script. In front of Ernst, Hugo's self-confidence is still unavoidable.

"But, this script was created by you, isn't it? You are a screenwriter, why don't you think about it from the perspective of a screenwriter?" Charlize said casually, seeing Hugo's puzzled look, she explained, " I mean, when you wrote the script, you did conceive with yourself as the prototype, but as you said, many times, the characters have their own vitality, but they are far from the original image. So why don’t you From the perspective of the screenwriter, who is Melvin's image after you close your eyes?"

Charlize has not experienced Hugo's entanglement. Her understanding of screenwriters and roles is far less profound than Hugo's, so it is not difficult for her to get out of the box. She changed her mind lightly, as if it was just It couldn't be easier.

In many cases, Charlize’s layman’s thoughts will make professionals roll their eyes; but occasionally, the layman’s unhurried thoughts that day can open up a whole new world, allow insiders to jump out of the predicament, and generate new sparks and ideas. For example, this is the case now.

Hugo listened to Charlize's trivial thoughts, while she was talking and watching the intense game in progress, "Hey! Alex, it's my turn next, how do you get stuck!" Ya Alex sat down without hesitating, "Aren't you talking with Hugo, I'm first, I'm first." Charlize looked back at Hugo helplessly, "I think that often screenwriters and actors The way of thinking will be closer, but at this time, maybe you should put aside your actor status and think purely from the perspective of a screenwriter."

"Jack Nicholson." Hugo said aloud, which made Charlize stunned and looked at Hugo with question marks on his face. "What?" Hugo repeated it again, "I said, Jack. -Nicholson. The first image that popped into my mind just now, Jack Nicholson."

"Jack?" Charlize frowned, seemingly unable to keep up with Hugo's rhythm, "I thought it would be John Travolta or something, but... Jack and your image are too different. Right?" Charlize said jokingly, not forgetting to look up and down.

Hugo chuckled, "I don't know... Just now you said I should change the angle, and then the image of Jack popped out of my mind naturally. I don't know why." Hugo stood quietly. I thought about it in place, "Maybe it's because, I think Jack and Ernst have some kind of closeness."

Under Hugo's guidance, Charlize thought about it seriously, and then nodded, "If you say that, it is true. Although Jack is not as old as Ernst, but...they looked at first, It's not like a good person. It is estimated that the image of the clown played by Jack in'Batman' is too popular. I always think his smile is a little wretched and a little evil."

"You forgot to'fly over the lunatic asylum'." Hugo added, and then the two exchanged glances and said in unison, "There is also a'shining'!"

Jack is not a handsome guy. On the contrary, his appearance has a kind of evil temperament. The strange temperament that drifts between normal and neurotic is unique. The cunning breath between the eyebrows and eyes always makes people have an impulse to stay away, especially It is the thick and messy eyebrows that always gather too much focus. But the most interesting part is here. Jack’s appearance seems very "scary", but he is never disgusting. On the contrary, he has a lovely temperament, especially when he laughs, his fleshy cheeks are kind of The joy of baby fat is unpleasant.

Therefore, although Jack played a lot of "madness", and most of the screen images are slanted, but he still starred in "mother and daughter love", "love meets rival (man., "heart fire" and many other romantic movies. Love comedy, this is the affinity of his personal image and personal acting skills.

"I probably understand what you mean." Charlize lightly tapped his chin, "Although the appearance looks unimpressive, but when you get along, you can find the pleasing part of their personality." This is Ernst. The same as Jack’s personality, "It is also your original intention for creating this script: as long as you look at people for a longer time, you will find their human touch."

Charlize once again looked at Hugo up and down, "Indeed, you don't have the advantage of Jack's appearance. Compared to you, Jack is indeed closer to Ernst." Not only because Hugo is young, but also because of Hugo's. temperament.

Acting can indeed change many things, but acting is not a panacea. The limitations of appearance will inevitably affect acting. Most of the screen image of Jack is slant, Dustin Hoffman's honest and simple image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Robert De Niro's both righteous and evil temperament makes him a fish in water in gangster movies.

"It depends on what Melvin you are looking forward to," Charlize made the final conclusion, "I mean, from the perspective of a screenwriter." Before the voice fell, Charlize suddenly screamed. He got up, "Hey!" Hugo was taken aback, and then he saw Charlize stride over, "It's my turn, Toby, it's my turn! Alex grabbed my turn just now!" Order, now it's my turn."

Hugo laughed dumbfounded as he watched the friends fighting together in front of him, but before he could react, Sandra Bullock's voice sounded from behind, "Hey! I went to the bathroom, then my turn This time? Come back!"

"No way!" everyone else in the room said in unison, but Sandra stood still on the spot with a gloomy expression, turned around and saw Hugo. Originally, Hugo wanted to comfort Sandra, but he didn't want her but his eyebrows were erect. "You are not allowed to jump in the line!" Hugo was so dumbfounded that he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

The box office fiasco of "Life and Death 2" put Sandra under tremendous pressure. Hugo asked Sandra not to accept the script, but Sandra still signed and agreed. Now, Hugo has no intention of taunting his friends, Sandra said to herself, "You will choose my works for me in the future," which made Hugo look helpless. Recently, Sandra faced the chase of the paparazzi, so she simply hid in Malibu.

Sandra watched Hugo raise her hands to surrender, so she immediately smiled triumphantly, and ran behind Charlize and Alex, "Next is me, next!"

Hugo stood there looking at a group of friends who were crazy for the game console, couldn't help but laughed, "Hugo, your letter." Samora's voice came from behind, and Hugo turned his head and cast a suspicious gaze— —No need to worry about ordinary letters. Why did Samora specifically mentioned, "I think the mailing address is Sunset Square, maybe Ernst?"

Hugo walked quickly over and then saw the kraft paper bag in Samora's hand, and took it one by one. Samora still explained, "I'm not so sure, because I don't know Ernst's handwriting..." Samora hoped that Hugo would not expect too much, but before he finished speaking, Hugo had already opened up. I shook it out of the paper bag, and a script fell out of it. It was "Perfectly Perfect", and a piece of white paper also fell down.

Hugo quickly picked up the blank paper, and the powerful font on it was Ernst's handwriting. "Simon's description failed completely. Several psychological changes must be rewritten. You should really go to a **** bar to experience life. It’s terrible.” Simon is Melvin’s neighbor in the story. When Hugo gave Ernst the script, he hadn’t realized this yet, so he didn’t further polish the character. "The role of Simon's agent is not clear enough. If you change to a black person and highlight your personality, the effect will be more obvious..."

The whole piece of white paper was splattered, clarified some of the main lines in Hugo's script, and gave his own opinions, which made Hugo sweat in a cold sweat. He originally thought that the "perfect and perfect" script was already very complete. But in Ernst's view, it was obviously not the case, but Hugo couldn't help getting excited, standing still and thinking carefully.

At the end of the white paper, he wrote, "In the end...you are not Melvin."
