American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

"Sorry, I wasted a little time..."

Hollywood, Hughes Studios.

Hughes came to the studio and apologized to Colin and Luo Yin.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, if you didn't say it, we wouldn't have noticed it."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Colin glanced at Hughes who had put on clean clothes again, and said with a smile.

Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder is another thing that Howard Hughes is well-known to everyone in his later generations besides being an aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, film director, and playboy.

Of course, at present, the characteristics of his obsessive-compulsive disorder are not obvious, and they are far from the level where he can't interact with people as he did later.

Hearing Colin's answer, Hughes nodded noncommittally.

Sitting down on the sofa in the studio, he pointed to the cigars on the coffee table and asked the two of them, "Would you like one?"

"No."

Colin shook his head.

On the side, Luo Yin glanced at the brand on the cigar box and hesitated to refuse.

"You're missing out on a valuable experience."

Seeing the two men shaking their heads in rejection, Hughes did not persuade him to say anything. He picked out a cigar from the neatly arranged cigar box, struck a match while preheating it, and said to Colin in front of him: "So, What are your thoughts on the script for Titanic?"

"Love is an eternal theme."

Looking away from the cigar in Hughes' hand, Colin revealed what he had already prepared in his mind.

Although he didn't know much about cigars, he could easily see that the box of cigars in front of Hughes was not cheap. Otherwise, Luo Yin would not refuse the other party's invitation. Sharing it too expensively would be a burden.

"love?"

Hearing this, Hughes raised his eyebrows and put down the match in his hand, picked up the cigar cutter and said in a daze, "What an old story."

As a famous playboy in Hollywood, his relationship experience covers almost half of the beautiful actors in Hollywood.

However, such a being died alone in his final years without even leaving any heirs.

Skillfully cutting off the cigar cap, Hughes calmed down his emotions, put on his nonchalant expression again, took a puff of the cigar and said, "But who made Hollywood prefer such a story? ”

Influenced by his playwright uncle Rupert Hughes, Hughes was extremely skilled in the Hollywood industry.

In fact, the first movie he invested in in his life, "Playboy Hogan", the first audience after the film was completed was his uncle Rupert Hughes. After watching it, Rupert told Hughes that if he took This kind of movie will be laughed at by the entire Hollywood if it is released.

After hearing this, Hughes burned all the film footage and lost $80,000.

"In fact, stories are repeated all the time. What matters is the person telling the story and the angle from which the story is told."

Pick up the coffee in your hand and take a sip.

Under Hughes's gaze, Colin said: "As for the story of the Titanic, as long as anyone is interested, they can see many relevant details from past news reports, including the testimonies of survivors. , this is news that has been well known to the public, and what we have done is to extract this story that originally only existed in news reports and the memories of a few people, so that audiences who have never experienced the sinking of a ship can also experience it through the movie Screening on the big screen and personally experiencing the disaster that happened on the Titanic..."

“Experiencing that disaster first hand.”

After hearing Colin's description, Hughes put down his hand holding the cigar and murmured.

"Yes, in fact, I am more inclined to define the movie Titanic as a disaster movie than the love component."

Disaster movie is a type of movie, a type of movie whose main viewing effects are horror, panic, miserable plots and catastrophic landscapes. This type was only mass-produced in the 1950s, and the term became popular in the 1970s.

At this time in Hollywood, it was still a brand new genre.

After all, it only took a few years for movies to switch from silent to sound. A few years ago, audiences only applauded black-and-white silent films on the screen in movie theaters.

Disaster movies, which need to be rendered to stimulate the audience's sense of fear to achieve a viewing effect, are difficult to achieve the desired effect without the support of sound.

This situation is like turning off the sound in a horror movie.

This is why most movies during the silent film era were mainly comedies, because comedies can be accomplished through body movements, while horror movies were relatively successful in Hollywood. The most famous American horror film during the silent film era is "Dr. Jack and Mr. Hyde" in 1920, and "The Ghost at the Opera" in 1925.

But it was Browning's "Dracula" and James Whale's adaptation of Mary Snow's "Frankenstein" that truly became classics in 1931.

With the success of these two films, horror films began to pour out of Universal's assembly line.

In 1932 alone, a series of horror-themed movies were produced, such as "Munayin", "The Invisible Man", "The Old Black House", and "Freak".

Universal has been able to enjoy these capitals until the 21st century.

"Disaster film?" Hughes lowered his head and took a puff of cigar, with his two mustaches on his lips raised, and he affirmed: "A vivid name."

"I can't wait to see those audiences in the cinema and witness the sinking of the ship with their own eyes."

Not to mention Hughes, even Luo Yin, who was standing by, was attracted by the scene described by Colin, and showed an expression of approval on his face.

The film itself is a very imaginative profession, and Hughes himself happens to be such an idealist.

Once he entered the working state, Hughes showed a completely different look from before.

In the studio, Colin and Luo Yin witnessed him finalizing the filming plan of the movie "Titanic" in just half an hour.

"Sun and Moon Wind and Glory"

At the same time, in order to be able to fully reproduce the scene in the news accident.

He even whimsically wanted to find a real iceberg as the disaster shot in the movie.

No, it should not be described as whimsical.

Because Hughes was not just talking casually, he actually did it.

In order to find the perfect iceberg that sank the Titanic in his mind, he has made a schedule and plans to take a photography team to the place where the Titanic sank to photograph the iceberg that sank the giant ship.
