"Train Guess" is the kind of script. Compared to the characters, the whole movie exudes a charming charm, which makes people involuntarily want to be part of it. The sharp and unruly scenes are amazing, and they can't help but sigh at the wonderful ideas of the film industry.

But when Hugo asked Rick about this script, Rick's words broke all Hugo's fantasy, "This is a script that no one cares about at all. Even we ignored it, and didn't even want to give it to other artists in the company. How do you think they might want to find you?"

Indeed, although cost is also an important issue, more importantly, a movie like "Train Guess" that has a rebellious rock atmosphere in its bones is disdainful of using "top superstars" like Hugo. Making Hugo a part of the movie is a big failure. Hugo's reputation, popularity and appeal will make the movie lose its original taste and make the audience's attention deviate from the story itself. This is a disaster.

Hugo also knew this fact, so Rick said that "train guessing" didn't send an invitation at all, which was understandable.

Although Hugo knew that this was the case, he also knew that "train guessing" was more suitable for Ewan McGregor, and now "train guessing" has been completed long ago, Hugo was still full of regrets.

Looking at the "train guessing" in his hand, Hugo finally reluctantly put it aside, and his eyes fell on the "Clockwork Orange" on the beach chair. Hugo thought secretly that after reading this book, he should also find out the original "train guessing" and read it carefully.

After giving up "train guessing", Hugo looked at the large box of scripts with a loss and couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that the more scripts, the better, and after all, it's necessary to suit yourself. Choosing a script requires fate and luck. The perfect script that suits you is not that easy to encounter.

Nearly forty scripts, the only ones that remained in front of Hugo were "first-level fear" and "British patients".

In fact, Hugo personally appreciates "First Level Fear" and is also a work he loves more. However, the role is too repetitive, so Hugo cannot raise too much interest. He is more looking forward to Edward Norton's emergence in this debut work, shining with a big screen. Although Edward has never been a first-line superstar in Hollywood, his talent cannot be ignored, especially his humility, low-keyness, and dedication are always admired.

As for "British Patient", objectively speaking, this is a good work. Putting aside the Oscars, Anthony Mingla also gave it many stylized features, which are worthy of recognition. However, after reading so many scripts and missing "Train Guess", Hugo was also quite excited and could not get interested.

But after thinking about it, I stayed there and saw what would happen later.

In this way, Hugo's next work is likely to be born between "British Patient" and "Independence Day", which is a very interesting thing. One is an academic work that swept the Oscars, and the other is a commercial popcorn work that swept the box office. Although the box office of "British Patient" almost doubled after being recognized by the Oscars, it achieved a box office of 78 million yuan in North America, and the global box office reached 230 million yuan. It is also an extremely outstanding work, which brings its own epic characteristics and Oscar effects to the extreme, but the attributes of these two works are essentially completely different.

But this is not necessarily the case. The "British Patient" should not have listed Hugo as the first choice, and he is indeed not the best candidate; the situation of "Independence Day" still depends on subsequent development. Perhaps Hugo missed both works, but instead chose another work, which is not impossible.

After all, this is Hollywood, everything is possible.

Interestingly, the scripts submitted by Rick this time almost did not talk about the pay, and Rick did not discuss this topic with Hugo. From this we can also see that after experiencing the "Mission Impossible" waves, major Hollywood film companies are now very cautious.

On the one hand, everyone is very sure that Hugo's pay is more than 15 million, but works that can afford this price are often commercial blockbusters. They are not sure what kind of commercial blockbusters can impress Hugo, including Twentieth Century Fox. Kevin's test and preparation for the previous few months were like a fox and wandering around Hugo. In fact, this is the mentality.

But on the other hand, Hugo's disrespect for independent films, and he doesn't mind super low pay, which makes the film company unable to directly abandon its obsession with art films, just like "staying away from the casino". If Hugo can be invited to star in the role, Twentieth Century Fox must have invested with the intention of striking awards.

Therefore, the attitude of the film company seems to be blurred and does not intend to impress Hugo with pay, and everything speaks with scripts. This also leads to the various scripts submitted.

After making the decision, Hugo was not in a hurry to tell Rick his conclusion. After all, he only took a few hours to read nearly forty scripts. This was really shocking. Let Rick go and talk to Roland Emmerich and others first.

Just as Hugo began to select the next work one after another, the preview of "Death Prisoner Walking" was approaching quietly.

As the most topical work in the second half of this year, "Death Prisoner Walk" was really not a "hot spot" before this. No one could have expected that such an independent work with an obscene theme would surpass a number of commercial blockbusters such as "Toy Story" and "Brave Games" and become the most anticipated work at the end of the year, which is an unprecedented situation.

Everyone was curious about what kind of work it was that made Hugo schizophrenia during the performance, and how wonderful Hugo had contributed to the movie that made him force himself into the corner!

Although it was a preview, after the broadcast of "Tonight Show", "Death Prisoner Walking" has undoubtedly become the most highly anticipated work recently.

Hidden behind the dazzling halo of "Death Prisoner Walking", the "Twelve Monkeys" were officially previewed in the same week. Both movies chose three theaters for preview.

Although there is suspicion of hype, people still have to sigh that Hugo and Brad are like fateful competitors. Unlike Tom Cruise, who became famous at a young age, Hugo and Brad really started their superstar career in 1992. The previous small fights were more like the media deliberately putting the two people on the opposite side of competition in order to hype news. Similar competitors almost every now and then the media will artificially create a pair to attract the focus.

But unexpectedly, Hugo and Brad actually collided with sparks, and both rose up, first Hugo and then Brad. At the end of last year, "Pulp Novels" successively fought with "Night Visits to Vampires". The showdown of "Lovely Years" pushed this showdown to a new level and reached its peak in the "Seven Deadly Sins".

These two competitors are undoubtedly the best representatives of Hollywood's "Yuliang Complex", and even surpassed the two competitors Hugo and Tom Cruise, Brad and Tom Cruise, and the attention level is directly broken.

This time, "Death Prisoner Walk" and "Twelve Monkeys" were released on the same theater on the same day, which will undoubtedly be a duel in which Mars hits the Earth.

Objectively speaking, "Twelve Monkeys" should be regarded as a commercial movie. This movie, like "Seven Deadly Sins", is classified as a suspense thriller work. After adding science fiction elements, it exudes a different charm. The investment cost of 29 million US dollars shows Universal Pictures' ambitions. This is completely different from the "Death Prison Walk" with an investment cost of only 11 million. From planning to idea to target groups and box office expectations, they are all completely different works.

The "Twelve Monkeys" obviously hope to make a difference in the box office. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt's new partner, and invited the industry-renowned Terry Gilliam to direct it, demonstrating Universal's desire for box office and confidence in this work. They even hope to replicate the success of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

However, out of a cautious perspective, Universal Pictures also chose preview screenings for trial in the first week, hoping to formulate a plan for subsequent full release based on feedback from professional film critics and preview audiences.

However, regardless of the follow-up plan and ultimate goal, "Twelve Monkeys" stood opposite to "Death Prisoner Walking" in the first week. The two movies were previewed at three theaters in Los Angeles on December 15. What's more, the rumors in the circle that the script of "Twelve Monkeys" was found first. After Hugo refused, it fell into Brad's hands. Such rumors added a lot of gunpowder.

This means that these two movies will be compared in all aspects, and the performance of Hugo and Brad will inevitably trigger all the attention and once again ignite the hottest at the end of the year.

Regardless of whether the parties are willing to admit it, it is undeniable that Hugo and Brad are the real destiny opponents, and the two will be compared and discussed by the media in all aspects. This is already a destiny. Brad has never avoided this. He has determined this way since the audition of "Dahe Love". Hugo has never been afraid of competition. Although he does not like hype, he will not retreat. Benefiting competition will only make him full of motivation to move forward.

From Brad having a slightly upper hand at the beginning of the showdown, to Hugo taking the lead in the overall lead, Brad struggled to catch up, and to Hugo's total suppression of Brad recently, these two competitors are writing history. So what will the first week of the showdown between "Death Prison Walk" and "Twelve Monkeys"?
