Chapter 1996： Star wars

The "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" has triggered countless topics. This will be a new challenge for Hugo, from the bold and innovative visual effects of "Independence Day" to the retro meticulousness of "L.A. Confidential" to the "Trumen World". "Challenge comedy for the first time. After "Death Row", Hugo's choice has repeatedly brought surprises and made history.

Now Hugo actually chose a horror movie. Actually!

Horror movies in the 1990s have almost become synonymous with **** violence. The boring routines of **** flesh and blood, vulgar and scary have gradually made horror movies lose their original charm. Although there are wonderful horror movies such as "The Silent Lamb" and "The Seven Deadly Sins", the authentic horror movies are gradually moving towards the latest chapters of Declining Heaven, Earth and Human Emperor.

With a positive answer from Bowei Pictures, "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" will be an authentic retro horror movie. This made everyone exclaimed, is Hugo really going to transform into a screaming prince on the big screen with blood? This makes people really dumbfounded.

Especially considering that this is Hugo's third production as a producer, "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect Perfection" have set an insurmountable ultra-high benchmark. After these two works have achieved great success, Hugo I actually chose the "superior sixth sense", which is not only unexpected, but also makes people more curiosity. In addition to this, there are some uncertainties-not sure whether this work is wise choose.

As the dust of the "sixth sense of the supernatural" settled, Lucasfilm also announced the big news: "Star Wars Prequel" Obi-Wan Kenobi will be played by British actor Ivan McGregor. Grid () starred. In an instant, the entire North American market boiled.

Could it be that... Hugo gave up the "Star Wars Prequel" and chose the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural"? Or. "Star Wars Prequel" chose the latter between Hugo and Ivan?

At this time, people realized that in the past more than a month. Everyone is talking about how Hugo will play in "Star Wars: Prequel". When Rick announced that Hugo would play in "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural", people didn't react immediately, but sighed Hugo. He was about to star in a horror movie. It was not until the news of Lucasfilm was announced that people suddenly realized that Hugo's new work was the "sixth sense of the supernatural." Instead of "Star Wars Episode".

This suddenly made Hugo's decision to play the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" even more bizarre. "Any reasonable person would not make such a choice." This sentence is from a comment made by a local radio host. It can be seen that he is a crazy "Star Wars" lover, and he is completely incomprehensible with Hugo's choice.

This is the current status of the entire North America. Don't say "Star Wars" loyal fans. Many outsiders also fail to understand Hugo's choice.

A group of crazy movie fans gathered in New York’s Washington Square to demonstrate, writing in red lettering, "Hugo, we are going to kill you", and a black skull was painted next to them. At the same time, these movie fans were all wearing black samurai suits. The set of black cloak and black headgear completely replicated the look of the black warrior in the movie, and it looks like a group of black warriors are coming to Washington Square. Everyone held the handle of the lightsaber in his hand. But since there is no lightsaber, only the handle, it looks very stupid to outsiders. But in order to avoid such a situation. There were a lot of plastic bombs, plastic guns and plastic knives at their feet, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

The size of this group of movie fans is not small, there are more than a hundred people, gathered together, it seems to be huge, attracting students from nearby Columbia University and New York University to flock to it, and it has become a spectacle of the day.

Their actions are undoubtedly expressing strong dissatisfaction with Hugo. In their opinion, no one can refuse "Star Wars." Not even Hugo. And Hugo rejected their masterpiece and chose a horror movie that was "vulgar and terrible". This was even more contempt and insult to them. This led to their extreme actions and directly threatened Hugo. s life.

What is even more exaggerated is that their actions have been supported and recognized all over North America. The huge group of loyal fans of "Star Wars" have played together, expressing their dissatisfaction with Hugo in various ways, and this action It spread violently.

The most famous one is the loyal fans of Illinois. After raising funds, an advertisement was published in the "Chicago Tribune" called "Lancaster Wanted". In the advertisement, there was only a big skull with Hugo's written in it. The name, with "Death" written in **** font below, provoked Hugo in this way.

Loyal fans are always the most difficult to please. If Hugo plays Obi-Wan, they will worry that Hugo will destroy Obi-Wan’s sacred image in their hearts, and they will also worry that Hugo will not be qualified for this role; if Hugo refuses Obi-Wan, they will think that Hugo does not know how to promote, and rejection is disrespect to "Star Wars."

Now, Hugo rejected the "Star Wars" and chose the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", which became an insult! They seem to think that if Hugo chooses a commercial movie, this kind of insult can be alleviated, and Hugo chooses a horror movie whose market is gradually declining, which is simply the latest chapter of an unforgivable crime.

In fact, this is true for avid comic lovers, novel lovers, and drama lovers. When these themes need to be real-life movies, the fans’ moods are conflicted and entangled. On the one hand, they think that the production company chooses The actors are not competent; on the other hand, the refusal of the actors will make them extremely angry.

Now, the most influential film series in the United States has restarted the prequel again. Even George Lucas himself is under tremendous pressure. He is also worried that those loyal fans will not be able to accept the prequel, or expect too high standards. At the same time, he must also consider that fourteen years have passed, and the former fanatical fans have grown up, but at the same time the film market structure has also changed. He also needs to consider how young new audiences should balance their tastes and become the biggest Difficult problem.

Not to mention Hugo.

The crazy actions of movie fans became more and more exaggerated and gradually began to derail, which also made people deeply feel the powerful influence of the "Star Wars" series on American culture, affecting almost two to three generations. In the end, George took the initiative to stand up and said in an interview, “If we can cooperate with Hugo, it is naturally a very honored thing, but Hugo and I agree that we need to focus more on ' The "Star Wars" story itself presents the story of Anakin Skywalker, leading the audience to re-enter this wonderful world. I missed the cooperation this time, and we are all looking forward to the next time."

On the other hand, Hugo also said in an interview, "It is also a huge regret for me to miss the role of Obi-Wan. I am not an avid Star Wars fan, but I am a loyal supporter of George Lucas. I hope I will have the honor to seek cooperation in the future."

Although both people were blurring the focus and did not give a clear answer, avoiding the exact reason why Hugo was not able to play "Star Wars: Prequel", they managed to ease the mood of the fans and let the heated debate temporarily fall. Closed the curtain.

Loyal fans said, "This is Hugo's loss, and he will regret it then."

Due to the hot discussion caused by the "Star Wars Prequel", the "Spiritual Sixth Sense" stood on the cusp of the storm for a while. Originally, people were full of curiosity and expectations for this work-after all, Hugo's undefeated record People are full of confidence, especially Hugo's unique vision of the script is trustworthy, which makes people full of interest in the story of the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural".

But now, in comparison with the topic of "Star Wars Prequel", the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is at a disadvantage, and it has been criticized almost indefinitely, and the shackles of horror films have been magnified to the extreme.

This led to a remark in the media that Hugo was overconfident after the great success of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect". He was blinded, thinking that he was also capable of challenging horror movies-just like " The visual effects of "Independence Day" and the glorious rock and roll belief are average, and he has the ability to turn corruption into magic. But this self-confidence is fermenting into arrogance, and it is very likely that Hugo will encounter the first real Waterloo for the first time.

Different from works like "Before Sunrise" or "Death Convict Walk", the subject of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" itself has very big constraints and it is also the most unfamiliar area of ​​Hugo, plus The development trajectory of horror movies in the 1990s made people unable to give more confidence to this movie.

Within a short period of time, the sense of expectation of the "sixth sense of the supernatural" took a turn for the worse, making people begin to doubt the prospects of this movie. This kind of questioning is really long-lost. Hugo has not been questioned by the media and audiences for a long, long time, but under the background of the arrival of the blockbuster era-just like after the "male and male thieves" changed their dynasties, the entire Hollywood will face big Reshuffle, many top superstars have directly declined, and Hugo's suspicion is logical.

Discussions about the "sixth sense of the supernatural" were rushing for a while, and the unpredictable situation was dizzying, but in fact, the film will not start immediately, even if the entire crew is ready, there is still no An accurate boot schedule. Because "Trumen's World" will be released soon, Hugo needs to focus on the promotion of this work first, and the movie will not start until the promotion ends.

A work that is only a project and has no start-up plan has become a hot topic in the summer archives. This is indeed a very interesting phenomenon. Of course, as the release schedule of "Trumen's World" approaches, the topic of Hugo has gradually shifted from the "superior sixth sense" to "Trumen's World". No matter what the horror movie will be, at least for now. You can first see how this comedy movie will look like. (To be continued)
