Chapter 932 932 Idea Germination
Ernst's words make sense. Hugo doesn't know what other actors are like. As for himself, he hopes to inject his own ideas into the role and understand the role in his own way. Therefore, during the filming of the movie, he will have countless divergent thinking about the role. While helping him perform, it is actually a supplement and extension of the script.
"Shawshank's Redemption" was the most obvious. Although Hugo passed by this script, he did put forward many ideas about the script and had a very happy exchange with Frank Derrbonte. Later, during the filming of "Schindler's List" and "Pulp Novel", Hugo had his own communication with the script during the performance.
Before this, Hugo actually didn't have much thought about the work of screenwriter, but today after Ernst reminded him, Hugo found that he was still bound by preconceived ideas.
Originally, Hugo believed that screenwriters were not easy, and he had countless movies in his mind. To give the simplest example, he had watched several films of the 86th Oscars in 2014, "12 years.a.slave", "gravity", "Dallas Buyers Club", "American Scam (Ame Can.htle), etc., but the problem is that after watching movies, he did not mean that he could record these movies, which is the same as music creation.
A movie script is composed of multiple aspects such as story framework, ideological connotation, character roles, line dialogue, etc. Hugo can remember the story framework, or even characters, but the ideological connotation is a part that cannot be plagiarized, and line dialogue is the soul essence of many scripts.
For example, "Pulp Novel", this script condenses the crystallization of Quentin Tarantino's thoughts on American folk customs, art, music, streets, gangs and other cultural aspects. Many seemingly meaningless line dialogues are important factors that make up this classic script.
Hugo could not copy it, even though he had read "Pulp Novels" many times.
In addition, in Hugo's view, scripts are like music, not just a story or a melody, but also the creator's thoughts and precipitation of life, society, life, personal experience, outlook on life, values, and other ideas that have a strong personal imprint will be projected into the work.
In fact, this is true for all art, including painting, architecture, novels, etc. This is also the reason why many psychological works analyze the creator's psychological state at that time through artistic works.
Maybe Hugo can plagiarize, maybe the world's most clever imitators can use fakes to be real, but drawing tigers and skins is difficult to draw bones. The true value core of art is the soul of the creator, which can never be copied.
Therefore, Hugo has always insisted on creating music by himself and created glory to death; similarly, Hugo has never "plagiarized" the script. Even though he had thought about it, he had no way to memorize so many lines and dialogues.
But now that he was inspired by Ernst, Hugo found that he had forgotten that he could create his own scripts like he created music. He had ten years of hard and difficult experiences as underground rock, he had incredible experiences of traveling through time and space, he had brave and hard work from low to peak, he was a major in classical literature in college... Although he was under thirty years old, he had experiences that many people would never experience in their entire lives.
Hugo had many wonderful ideas in his mind. Maybe he didn't need to copy other people's paths, he could create his own script. This is a brand new exploration, full of unknown fun, just like he starred in "Schindler's List", Amon Goss, who was played by him, was branded as "Hugo Lancaster" and succeeded; so what would it look like if he wrote the script of "Schindler's List"? Should he copy the classic, or ruin it, or surpass the classic?
This is as creative as music creation and acting research.
But the question is, is Hugo interested in writing scripts? Hugo couldn't help but feel a little fun.
Recently, he has read a lot of scripts and is dazzled. The closest script to perform is "Vampire Night", but in fact, the script of "Vampire Night" actually has many regrets. The most direct thing is that the plot of the story is a bit fragmented. The whole story explores immortality, and the theme of loneliness is not further explored, and the character of Leicester is not able to outline more details.
In addition to "Night Visit to Vampires", Hugo has still lacked other scripts recently and has never had any works that have shone in Hugo. But in fact, many excellent works were still released in 1995. Although they are not as good as the star-studded ones in 1994, they are still very luxurious. Hugo has not yet come into contact with scripts worthy of being moved, which is indeed quite regrettable.
So, what if Hugo wrote a script himself? Maybe there would be no loss when trying to read it.
"Yes, yes... why not?" Hugo's mind flashed through his mind. He lit his chin slightly and stretched the tail tone. Then he looked at Ernst. The glittering eyes made Ernst feel a little uneasy and he couldn't help but avoid his sight, which made Hugo laugh, "So, Ernst, tell me, do you really think I can try to create a script?"
Ernst was stunned for a moment, looked up and said, "Why, are you interested?" A smile appeared in his eyes.
Hugo shrugged, "I won't say that, but I think it might be worth trying to see if it can help breakthroughs in acting or if it can create a script that suits my wishes." Hugo has a clear idea about this. Even if he wants to try, the screenwriter can only be considered an amateur job. His current main business as an actor and singer is already busy enough, and he will not make trouble for himself.
But Ernst didn't care. He immediately said with great interest, "If you just started trying, maybe writing a sketch is a good choice." Ernst even looked a little furious, and her whole body was completely refreshed. The joy that emanated from the bottom of her heart opened Hugo's eyes.
In fact, even if Hugo doesn't create scripts, it is a good attempt to help Ernst find his life goals again.
"I told you that script creation is not as difficult as you imagined. You set a goal for yourself. Do you want to tell a good story, or tell the experience of a character, grasp this core before starting to conceive." Ernst said incessantly without waiting for Hugo to respond, "It's like 'life and death speed', if you want to tell a story about... uh, for example, a bank robbery, then you can conceive the beginning, inheritance, transformation and continuity of the whole story, and then divide the story into several parts of the beginning, process, **, and ending, and then conceive the plot one by one, and a script is completed."
Hugo understands these principles. He has watched thousands of movies at least, so he naturally has no shortage of basic knowledge. However, he did not interrupt Ernst and still listened with relish.
"Or you can tell a topic, such as growth, and then the core characters are a few people, what they were at the beginning and what things they experienced, which triggered an inner change, how intense the transition was." Ernst said happily, "Maybe you can go and see the script of 'stand.by.me', I remember there is in my bookcase."
Ernst stood up again, walked to the bookshelf with a light pace, searched carefully for a while, and then found a script and handed it to Hugo. Hugo took the script of "Accompanying me" and nodded with a smile, "Maybe I'm a good choice to start writing scripts from one-act dramas."
"Are you talking about focusing on one person?" Ernst asked excitedly. Inadvertently, he sat in the front half of the sofa, leaning forward slightly, and looking at Hugo excitedly.
Hugo originally had just a vague idea. He knew that he was not a professional and could be said to be a completely layman in writing the script, so he felt that the simplest scene like one-act drama might be a good start. But now looking at Ernst's expression, he couldn't help but think about it, and then said, "No, I mean, telling a theme, such as love, the camera may lock two people, telling the story of two people from meeting, to the budding of love, and then to the progress..."
"You mean like 'When Harry meets Sally'?" Ernst interrupted Hugo.
But Hugo shook his head, and his thoughts gradually became clear, "That's not a one-act drama, it tells the progress and changes of a love. I mean, maybe time is limited to... uh, one night? You know, two people met unexpectedly, they were just strangers, but they started chatting in bars or cafes. The touch of their eyes and the collision of thoughts burst out, and then they fell in love, and the love developed, but at dawn, uh, maybe... maybe they separated, and this kind of passing by became the most brilliant moment in memory, such a story."
What appeared in Hugo's mind was the situation of his first date with Charlize, so clear, but after he finished speaking, the story of "before sunrise (before.sun sun color)" quietly emerged, making Hugo's smile a little more helpless.
Ernst did not notice this detail. All his attention was focused on the story told by Hugo, and he couldn't help but be amazed, "This is a very wonderful idea, but it is not an easy work to complete. You see, what you are thinking of is a one-act drama, and there may be only two actors, so their conversations, their communications, and their sparks will all become the key to determining the level of the work. This is also an idea to maximize the charm of the script, which is really great!"
After saying that, Ernst looked at Hugo excitedly, "How about it, are you planning to create this script?"
