Chapter 442

Talking about the script Quentin looked at Hugo earnestly. In fact, at the very beginning of the conversation, he used "the possibility of inviting you to appear in my second director's work at a low price. What do you think?" As the opening remarks, remuneration is the core of it, but at this time Hugo catered to his plan and put the topic of remuneration on the table, but Quentin did not want to talk about this topic first.

It is a fact that Quentin and Hugo are not familiar with each other. Quentin didn't know much about Hugo either. All his cognition came from rumors, media reports, nothing more. So when he decided to invite Hugo to star in "Pulp Fiction", his first reaction was Hugo is likely to reject himself, he has no way to have a clear understanding of Hugo's film selection principles.

What is Hugo's request for film remuneration? What about Hugo's requirements for the script? Is Hugo willing to abandon high standards of remuneration for the sake of a script with a 'sexual' script? Or is it that Hugo is unwilling to retreat to the payment regulations?

Quentin knew nothing about this.

When Quentin mentioned it to Harvey Weinstein, Harvey was not optimistic about it. Harvey thinks the time is wrong. Hugo experienced the trough after the "Yihai Xiongfeng", but then relied on "Seattle Sleepless" to fight a beautiful turnaround, and then reached the eight million salary level with an unexpectedly strong force. You must know This is a dream moment for any actor, and it can even be said that this is all the actor's dream of Hollywood.

Now Hugo is standing in front of this opportunity. He only needs to receive a movie with a salary of 8 million dollars, regardless of the success or failure of the movie-or as long as the fiasco of the "Hudson Eagle" type does not appear, Hugo's first-line actor The status will not be shaken, and the salary of eight million dollars will not drop for a long time. Once in a lifetime, it is no exaggeration to use such adjectives to express the important 'sex' of this opportunity.

At such a point in time, if Hugo gave up 8 million dollars in salary, it would mean that the accumulated momentum of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Seattle Sleepless" could easily become a bubble. It was nearly a year before. The ups and downs of the city instantly vanished, which is a difficult decision for anyone. Unless "Pulp Fiction" can win a full victory, Hugo will return to the original point overnight, and even the level of three million US dollars during the "Yihai Xiongfeng" period will not be able to maintain, because "Pulp Fiction" will Not even a three million dollar salary can be offered.

So is Hugo willing to give up such a great situation and such an excellent opportunity for "Pulp Fiction"? Does "Pulp Fiction" have such value for Hugo to do this gamble... In this regard, Harvey said The situation is not optimistic.

Harvey thinks this is a matter of timing. If Quentin's invitation comes before the release of "Night Sleep in Seattle", or after Hugo takes another film with a $8 million film, then Hugo nodded in agreement. The odds of starring in "Pulp Fiction" will rise by at least 50%.

Harvey is one of the producers of "Pulp Fiction" as well as an investor. Even he does not have absolute confidence in the script. At the same time, he does not have absolute confidence in Quentin, who is the second film. This also makes Quentin wasn't sure about it himself.

It is precisely because of this that Quentin avoided Joseph-as an agent, Joseph must have more comprehensive considerations, and the insistence on the eight million salary is not only money, but also a strategic necessity. Quentin wants to convince Joseph There was hardly any chance, plus Quentin and Hugo had a very pleasant conversation, and this is where we have met today.

Quentin didn't know Hugo enough, and he didn't have enough confidence. He didn't want to destroy all opportunities directly because of the ultra-low pay. So Quentin decided to start with the script. He ignored Hugo's reply and asked instead. To, "Don't you want to know what the story is about the script I'm preparing?"

"Of course." Hugo was a little surprised Quentin changed the subject, but he didn't mind. Although he knew nothing more about "Pulp Fiction", in front of Quentin, he had to play a character who knew nothing about the script. He listened carefully, "I think you mentioned it when I met last time. It's a story about a gangster."

"Yes, you can say that." Quentin's face showed joy. The two people met four weeks ago, and Hugo drank a lot of alcohol at the time, but Hugo actually remembered their conversation. This is a positive sign, "The role you want to play-or the role I want you to play." Quentin looked at Hugo with a smile, and saw that Hugo did not reject him, so he I went on, "This character is called Vincent. His story line can be regarded as the center of connecting my entire script. He first accepted the boss's instructions to complete a task, but in the process of the task, he came across In some accidents, one was killed by mistake, which caused them to fall into a chaos."

Following Quentin's words, Hugo sketched out the movie's picture in his mind. He had to admit that Quentin's lens language was much more'pretty', because the trivial shots were connected in series according to Quentin's mind. Thus burst out a dazzling light. But Quentin cannot be blamed, because he now has to dictate the whole story, and he can't tell the whole script completely, which makes the story seem dry.

The story of "Pulp Fiction", the script should be much more intuitive than oral narration. Presumably Quentin also hoped that Hugo would read the script to understand the story, but today Hugo came over at noon and didn't keep it. Give Quentin more room.

However, Quentin was still unwilling to give up, and he was still tirelessly expounding, "After all the things were dealt with, Vincent and his friends came to the restaurant for dinner, but they were robbed by the mandarin duck robber. Vincent and the others naturally dealt with it very well. It was easy. After resolving the situation, Vincent received the boss's instruction again to accompany the boss's wife to relax, but the boss's wife accidentally took drugs and overdose. This was another time of rushing. In the end, Vincent During the mission, he was killed by a boxer."

After speaking, Quentin was a little frustrated, and patted her head in annoyance, "What I just said must be very boring." The'exquisite' color of "Pulp Fiction" lies in the charm of the whole story. Say it alone. The clues do not reflect the essence of the story at all. "But you have to believe that this story is very beautiful. The whole script is divided into three stories, one is Vincent, the other is the boxer, and the other is It's the mandarin duck robbers. I will use Vincent's main line to connect the three stories irregularly to complete the whole movie."

Even though she is a little frustrated, Quentin is still reluctant to give up and is still lobbying, "Believe me, if you can'spare' time to read the script, you will definitely have different ideas." Quentin picked up from the chair next to him. Wrote a script and handed it to Hugo.

Hugo looked at Quentin with a smile. He could feel that Quentin's small eyes were full of pleading and sorrow, making it hard to refuse. He put the knife and fork in his hand down and took over the script, Quentin A bright smile burst on the face of Hugo's shoehorn. Hugo put the script on his left hand side, ready to throw himself into the pizza battle in front of him, but he asked, "So, my character's color 'What is it like, you haven't told me yet? Why do you think I would be a good fit?"

"Vincent? In fact, this is a typical "hustle", but he belongs to the kind of wit but a bit rough, some serious but a little humorous, some impatient but able to calm down.' "Lose"." Quentin is a person who is good at telling stories, but the interpretation of the role "Lose" is more hoped to be done by actors.

In fact, Quentin's works have left a very wide range of space for actors to play. The final performance depends on the actors themselves. For example, Christopher Waltz (.z) relied on Quentin's works to win twice before and after. Oscar for best supporting actor, the golden figure.

"But I don't want it to be De Niro's type of'hunting', or the type of'Godfather'. It is more of a'sexual' personality filled with black'color' and humor, and contradictory. Funny feeling." Quentin explained all his thoughts on the role of "color", but after finishing speaking, he felt that there was no accurate description, so he smiled awkwardly, "Maybe you should be slower after reading the script. Discuss slowly."

Hugo knows that the role of Vincent is a huge challenge, but if you look at it from the perspective of an actor, you really need to read the script and savor it, "So, you have nothing to do with my appearance. Do you want it? For example, a hairstyle or something?"

Quentin always likes to use a'sex' actor, of course, this is also related to his movie style, so if he finds Hugo to star in, he must have his own plan, Quentin originally wanted to say something, but I heard Hugo took the initiative to ask this question, but instead swallowed what he said, "What do you think?"

Hugo shrugged, UU read www.uukanshu. com "From the details you just mentioned, I think it's either a bald head or a shiny back."

Quentin's eyes lit up, and interest immediately came, "How do you say?"

"If you have a bald head, you may be someone who looks a little clumsy but does things cleanly. Occasionally leaking out the wisdom can create a sense of contradiction." Hugo said his thoughts, even though he was in his mind. Li was deeply impressed by John Travolta's appearance in "Pulp Fiction", but he stood from the perspective of an actor and expressed his own understanding, "If it is a shiny back, It's best to be a suit and leather shoes, showing the retro style of the golden age. The appearance looks like an elegant gentleman, but he is doing cruel and cold-blooded things. This contradiction is also very good."

Hugo just said a few words, and the smile in Quentin's eyes immediately appeared. Just as Quentin expected, Hugo just listened to some details, and immediately gave Vincent more of the role. The soul is gone, which also makes Quentin more firm in his own ideas: he wants Hugo to star in "Pulp Fiction"!
