Superstar

Chapter 597: Behind the scenes hero

ads_wz_txt;

After the reporter interview session was over, the reporters were entangled in how to write news. Now interviewing Hugo is getting more and more troublesome. It is necessary to conceive an article that has a selling point and will not be scolded by readers. It's not that simple; but Hugo turned around and left with ease. He still hates reporters. Even though he can face reporters calmly now, his rejection of reporters has not changed, but Hugo now knows how to deal with reporters. Now, it also makes him more and more relaxed.

Uma looked at Hugo, who had just shifted the "focus" she wanted to take lightly, but her irritability became more uncontrollable, which made her have to turn around and leave in another direction, hoping to calm down.

Hugo and Samuel were talking as they walked towards the rest area of ​​the crew, but there was a person who followed quickly, "The answer just now is very clever." Looking back, it turned out to be Harvey. Weinstein.

"The croaking of these crows is always irritating. I have tried my best." Hugo shrugged. He didn't think he had restrained reporters. In the entertainment industry, reporters are a group that can never get rid of. Now it seems that Hugo has the upper hand. In the future, as long as Hugo has a little error, whether it is in life or work, this group of reporters will immediately swarm up and eat him clean. This is the result of Hugo's personal experience in the past two years. Therefore, Hugo will not relax his vigilance easily, let alone triumphant.

Samuel laughed haha ​​when he heard Hugo's description, "Crow, um, crow."

Harvey's reaction was not that big, but he smiled and nodded, "Quak, this group of crows never know to stop, even if you shut up today, next time something happens, you can still hear them. Chattering again."

Hugo agreed. Harvey looked at Hugo’s expression and recalled Hugo’s experience in the past three years. From the fall of the "Hudson Eagle" to the rise of "Schindler's List" last month, it is indeed incredible. , And Hugo was very interested in Harvey when he faced the reporter's growth from flustered and restrained to today's composure and calmness.

Harvey can already imagine that "Pulp Fiction" has attracted enough attention before filming, which means focus to the producer, and also means the saving of publicity costs. He naturally couldn't be more happy.

"Crow, I have heard this description from a senior elder, and he also described these **** reporters as crows." Harvey said with a smile, "Unfortunately, he is now retired."

Hugo looked at Harvey quite unexpectedly, "Oh, who is it?" In fact, Hugo thought of Catherine Hepburn, because the last time I met Catherine on Broadway, she also called the reporter a crow. . But Harvey gave an answer that Hugo never thought of.

"Ernst," Harvey said with a nostalgic expression. "This is a wise old man."

"Who?" Hugo was really surprised this time, he even stopped. Because he first heard of the nickname "The Crow" after the Golden Globes, the irritable little old man who lived on the second floor Ernst raised it up.

Harvey and Samuel took two steps forward before noticing that Hugo had fallen behind them. Harvey turned and looked at Hugo, "Ernst Lechman, don't tell me you don't know."

Hugo was still at a loss. Of course he knew Ernst Lechman, the grumpy old man who lived downstairs, but he didn't know Ernst Lechman because he thought Ernst Lechman Te Lechman is just an ordinary old man, but now Harvey seems to be a great man when he mentions Ernst-and he is still a figure in the entertainment industry.

This time, Samuel also looked at Harvey curiously, which made Harvey show an incredible expression, "Hey, guys, don't be kidding, you don't know Ernst?"

There are so many people in the entertainment industry, not to mention the people behind the scenes. It is almost impossible to know all the actors standing in front of the scene, and there are countless people with the same name and surname. Well, at this point, Harvey understood, "But it’s normal if you don’t know each other. He hasn’t written any scripts since 1977. To be precise, his glorious period was in the 1960s, before you were born. Up."

Harvey also sighed. He was fifteen years older than Hugo. This is the difference between the two eras. However, Samuel was born in 1948 and was four years older than Harvey, so when Harvey gradually mentioned With these details, Samuel immediately showed an expression of awakening.

"I'm talking about Ernst as a screenwriter. He has written less than twenty screenplays in his career, but he has kept on good works," Harvey explained simply, trying to awaken Hugo's resonance, "Dragon Wind Equipped with ('north by northwest (.'West Story (west..'Ling. Desire** (wh0, s...of...w001f) "'Hello' Dolly (hell0, "The Sound of Music (the...."

As Harvey said the name of a work, Samuel's expression became brighter-obviously he already knew who Ernst was, and Hugo's expression became more surprised.

"Damn God!" This was almost the only thing Hugo could say.

Each of these works mentioned by Harvey is a classic of film history. Whether these works are Oscars, film critics, or a long film history, they have proved their value and can be regarded as masterpieces. And the name "Ernst Lechman" can be seen in the list of screenwriters of all these works, which is simply incredible.

Hugo's first reaction was: This Ernst and the one downstairs in their house should not be the same person? But after thinking about it, Hugo felt that they were the same person!

What Ernst said to Hugo after the Golden Globes incident clearly seemed to be an insider, but it was not a casual experience; moreover, Ernst's research on Broadway Very well in place. Before Hugo stood at the door, he saw many Broadway posters at Ernst’s house. Originally Hugo thought it was only Ernst’s hobby, but now it seems that it’s Ernst’s work. ——Most of the scripts he made of swords are adapted from Broadway, some classics.

The reason why Ernst retired in the late 1970s was because he could not keep up with the pace of social evolution. The film industry took the "male and male thieves" in 1967 as a demarcation point. It has entered a period of rapid development. Broadway stories have been difficult to keep up with market demand. A large number of original sword scripts are accompanied by underworld movies, action movies, and sci-fi movies. With the emergence of market demand. Under such circumstances, Ernst hardly contributed anything worth mentioning in the 1970s. For the entire decade, he only collaborated with Alfred-Hitchcock (alfred.) on one that was not considered a success. This is Hitchcock’s swan song, and Ernst’s closing pen.

Thinking about it this way, the old man downstairs from Hugo really looks like Ernst in Harvey's words. He lives alone near Sunset Plaza, but he doesn't have any job. He is grumpy and refuses to be thousands of miles away. Occasionally, people come to visit again... This sounds like a perfect fit.

Of course, all these are just Hugo's conjectures. The facts are still to be confirmed by Ernst himself. But even so, Hugo still finds it incredible. He didn't realize that there was such a famous person living downstairs in his home from beginning to end—provided that his guess was correct, because Ernst has always been like a bad temper. It's just an ordinary old man, this... is really an accident.

But to be honest, Hugo knows every work that Harvey said, but he really didn’t know the screenwriter, so when he heard the name "Ernst Lester", he did not have any reaction at all— —Until today, there has been no response. This also further illustrates the sorrow of the people behind the scenes. What the actors show on the screen is the brainchild of the people behind the scenes. All movies are made by the entire crew, but only the actors and directors are truly famous. Even the producers are very famous. The difficulty is widely known.

"It's a pity that Oscar will always owe Ernst a golden figure." Harvey said with a sigh. The shock brought by this sentence was much stronger than the previous paragraph. Samuel was the first Exclaimed, "What?"

Harvey twitched, "It's ridiculous, isn't it? But that's the truth. The college has never given Ernst any golden figure. God knows that Ernst has been nominated five or six times, but he never No awards, Oscar hell."

"Isn't there even a'West Side Story'?" Hugo asked in surprise. The "West Side Story" absolutely swept a thousand troops at the Oscars that year, and took ten statuettes in one breath. It is currently second only to "Ben Xu" ben-hut the most prize-winning work.

Harvey shrugged, "lost to the'judgment.at.nuremberg."

"Shit!" Hugo and Samuel said in unison, and they could clearly feel the regret and contempt in their tone.

Harvey also has a helpless smile~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I heard this word from Ernst, Crow, he has always been displeased with reporters, because these reporters don’t know art at all, it’s just A group of lunatics, Ernst has never looked good to reporters, and his bad temper is hardly able to control him. "

This makes sense. It seems that Ernst didn't become grumpy when he was old, he was a hot temper when he was young. Hugo was deeply touched by this. His heart was still turbulent, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, crows, a bunch of **** and noisy crows, but this is our job again, which is really bad."

"You did a good job just now, don't be led by the nose by the crows, learn to use them, then things will be different." Harvey said with a smile.

Hugo also twitched his lips, but he was still surprised at the true identity of Ernst-Lester, I'm afraid this kind of surprise will continue for a long time.
