Seeing Hugo coming, Gianni's whole person cheered up, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy. In fact, all the other people in the entire crew are not as valuable as a Hugo now, except for Morgan Freeman, who can also sell old in front of Hugo, the other actors are not as good as a Hugo in terms of qualifications and strength, including the current popularity, important Cheng dù, and the influence on the media and the audience.

Although the news media has been hyping the showdown between Brad and Hugo, insiders know that Brad at this time has no ability to compete with Hugo head-on, just like Hugo at the time of "Yihai Heroes" is not qualified to challenge Tom Cruise.

Gianni can be perfunctory to Brad, perfunctory to David and Andrew, but he can't be perfunctory to Hugo, not only can't, but he also has to be mentally and positively coping, otherwise no one knows what will happen.

"Hugo, that's it, you listen to me." Gianni slowed his tone and explained solemnly, trying to ease Hugo's anger.

Hugo nodded and said calmly, "I'm listening." But the slightly frowning eyebrows could clearly feel his current strictness and seriousness.

Gianni couldn't help but be a little speechless, but he was secretly cursing in his heart, the group of people in the company knew that this was a thankless job, so they threw it to him, and the plan of more than a dozen people to agree on Guò made him alone to bear Hugo's anger. But Gianni can't show anything on the surface, so he can only say next, "Hugo, at the moment we are only in the discussion stage, you know, we have all kinds of ideas, the ultimate goal is to make the movie more exciting, but nothing is certain at the moment, everything is still being discussed, and ...... is still being discussed."

Gianni was doing Tai Chi right here, not saying anything substantial, he knew that Hugo had to be calmed down first.

Brad, who was standing on the side, crossed his hands in his chest and sneered, although the change in Gianni's attitude was not obvious, anyone with a discerning eye could feel the difference in the details, Gianni was obviously tougher just now, and the tone was mostly saying that this would be a topic of discussion between the producer and the director and screenwriter, and even hinted that the producer had made up his mind to revise the ending; But now in the face of Hugo, such an actor, Gianni began to be polite.

Andrew stood aside with an obscure face, although he is a screenwriter, in fact, he is definitely the weakest link in the entire production and cast, and he has almost no right to speak. David, who still has a defensive posture, is clearly unwilling to compromise, and his face is even more angry at this time, the tragedy of "Alien 3" is still vivid, and now the "Seven Deadly Sins" are also facing such a danger, and it is really difficult for him to calm his mind.

Hugo is not a fool, he has been rolling in Hollywood for all these years, most of these polite words are in and out of the right ear, after making sure that Gianni finished explaining and was waiting for his reaction, Hugo said, "Revise the ending, whose idea is this?" ”

Right in the middle of the heart. Gianni's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, he opened his mouth, the sentence "This is the idea of the production team" was simply unspeakable, Hugo gave Gianni time to react, but did not wait for any answer, so he continued, "What kind of ending do you want to modify?" No, I don't need an answer to this question, please tell me, did you really read the script carefully before discussing changing the ending? ”

Hugo was always suppressing his anger, and he spoke in a very polite tone, maintaining respect for Gianni, but it was precisely this anger hidden under the calm that made people shudder, as if ...... It's as if I've seen an anonymous person. Gianni didn't even dare to look directly at Hugo's amber eyes, lest he linger in his mind and be haunted by nightmares at night.

Gianni tilted his head slightly, looked at Joseph standing behind from Hugo's left side, and quickly explained for the first time, "Of course, of course, we carefully studied the script ......"

But Hugo didn't give Gianni a chance to explain this time, "If you really read the script, you wouldn't want to change the script!" If you read the script carefully, you know what this ending means for the whole story! If you study the script carefully, you will understand that the whole story is laid out layer by layer, and in the end, it is inevitable that this result will be pushed forward! If you were willing to read the script well, you wouldn't have reduced this story to a vulgar and boring tale of heroism! ”

Hugo's barrage of questioning is not sharp, and the speed of his speech is always not fast, but the momentum is increasing little by little, the sense of oppression is coming little by little, and the anger hidden behind the calm words is almost overwhelming. At this moment, Hugo is like an anonymous person, completely an anonymous person, and the calm on the surface can't hide the anger in his eyes, and the anger in his words is as strong as a sword.

Hollywood's interests are paramount, Hugo does not exclude it, because he knows that this is the status quo of society, this is the true nature of businessmen, interests are the foundation for maintaining the continuous operation of the entire industrial system, and there is no art without interests. However, if you only blindly pursue interests, maybe the end result will be a bamboo basket for nothing, and there will be nothing left.

Modifying the ending of "Seven Deadly Sins" is like this, not only will it not increase the benefits of the movie, but it will ruin all the qiē, and as a result, you will end up with nothing to lose.

So, Hugo was angry at the stupid and ignorant people, at the stupidity and stubbornness of those who were eager for more benefits but did not know the right way! It's like Anonymous's anger at this dark and bad society.

Gianni could clearly feel Hugo's sharp eyes enveloping him like an eagle locking on its prey, even if he staggered his gaze, he could also feel the ubiquity of those eyes, which made him suffer a lot, but Gianni knew that he couldn't back down, he had to be tough, this was not only a matter of his own face, but also a matter of initiative between the team and the crew, and he had no way out.

"Hugo, if you have an opinion, you can consult with us, we all want to produce an excellent work." Gianni tried to look into Hugo's eyes and speak, but those amber eyes were like a bottomless abyss, and he felt fear, Ben. He could only turn his head to look at David, Andrew and others standing next to him in order to hide the fluctuations of his feelings, "We are the investors, we don't want to ruin this movie, believe me, we want this movie to succeed more than anyone else!" ”

Speaking of this, Gianni's confidence finally recovered, and his momentum also regained momentum, "If the work fails, it is we who lose money, and you will be fine after you get paid, but we will have to bear the consequences." Gianni glanced at Hugo, fortunately Hugo didn't interrupt him this time, because Hugo also has a dividend in "Seven Deadly Sins", although the salary of 10 million US dollars is too high for a supporting role, it is the first salary of the crew, but the new line film company clearly knows that there is no way to invite Hugo to star at this price, so they still gave Hugo a box office dividend. "So, any of our decisions are not hasty, they are all considered from the perspective of the film."

"So, how exactly do you want to change the ending of the movie?" After watching Gianni finish his useless excuses, Hugo's words returned to the topic again.

The onlookers at the scene couldn't help but gasp.

In fact, the duel between Hugo and Gianni can be seen as a confrontation between the staff and the maker, that is, the confrontation between the employer and the employed, and generally speaking, the hired have no right to speak. The producers are almost a monopoly in the Hollywood environment, and they have the power of life and death for the entire crew, and no one can challenge their authority.

Therefore, when Gianni said that he wanted to change the ending of the script, David, Andrew, Brad and others were very angry and wanted to confront, Brad even said threatening words, but they couldn't make Gianni change his face, because they were not qualified enough, and their resistance would be suppressed after all. Just look at the reaction of Brad's assistant, if Brad persists, I believe Martin Baum will be on the set this afternoon.

But there are exceptions to any situation, and top figures like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, have the qualifications and ability to shake people's decisions. This is known as the Hollywood Power List.

Now, Hugo can also be regarded as one of them, he has the ability to influence the film company, the production team, and he also has the ability to change the pattern of the crew.

In the face of Hugo's questioning, Gianni was a little discouraged, but there was no way to refute it, he finally diverted the topic, and now Hugo's words returned to the original point, Gianni could only cheer up and explain again, "Hugo, we are still discussing, we are thinking, either let Samose stop Mills and pass the law to achieve justice; Either let Mills and Anonymous end in tragedy. Gianni was still forced to say the specific content, and after finishing speaking, he quickly added, "Of course, if you have an idea, you can put it forward, and we will discuss it." And David, Andrew, you're all like that. ”

Gianni tried to defuse the conflict, dragging things out before seeking an ending.

Hugo shook his head, "It's a tragedy that you didn't understand the story." Hugo looked at Gianni and said with a slightly excited tone, "The reason why 'The Seven Deadly Sins' is so great is because of this ending, if you want to change this ending, not only will you ruin the story, but also the whole movie and the whole project, in this case, I would rather choose to quit than see this tragedy." ”

Hugo's words came out lightly, but they weighed as much as a thousand pounds, and exploded with earth-shattering energy, leaving everyone around him stunned.
