Soar to the top 944 with foresight and wisdom

The James Bond audition was much easier than expected, and it wasn't mentioned accurately at all. 007" related words, a qiē are chasing the wind and catching shadows from time to time to fight for a while, people who don't understand the truth still think that this is just a simple polite word.
This is not surprising, because Hugo is now the capital to choose the script, and he is also qualified to reject the script, even if it is James and Bond. However, such a shadowless confrontation also retains everyone's face as much as possible and leaves room for future cooperation. So, as soon as Steven took the initiative to change the subject, everyone's attention was gathered almost unsurprisingly, as if the topic was being discussed in the first place.
George Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hugo in surprise, "You're also trying to write a script?"
Steven has always paid more attention to the role of director and producer, although he will also make guest appearances as a screenwriter, but the number of times is very rare, and the most famous work is "(close. enters。 of。 the。 third。 kind)"; But George is different, he is more about studying technology and writing scripts than a director, and his name can be seen in the screenwriter column of the "Star Wars" series and the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.
So, it's no surprise that George's reaction was clearly stronger than Steven's.
"If I said I just wrote it for fun, maybe I would be less shy." Hugo said with a smile, but he didn't deny it. To be honest, he is really not confident in the position of screenwriter, after all, this is not a project that he has studied for many years, and it can be said that he is a layman, even if he has four years of rich knowledge in college, it is not enough.
George looked at Hugo with interest, "Many times, interest is the best enlightenment. "The most important thing is that George will not forget that when Hugo was revealed to be able to sing, almost everyone did not believe in Hugo's ability, but now the glory to death proves their absolute strength. Therefore, George's gaze was a little more probing, "So...... What type of script are you writing right now?"
"I'm trying to write one, uh...... It's a one-act play, with only two lead actors, walking slowly around the city and then talking. You know, it's the kind of work that is very realistic, and you can imagine a low-budget stage play that can depict my script. Hugo explained briefly, and then did not forget to make fun of himself.
"It's not a surprise." George's left hand holding champagne raised and waved slightly, as if to say: whether it is the choice of music or film, Hugo has always had a clear idea, will not compromise with business, but will not worship art, this subtle scale has always been an eternal subject in Hollywood, but for now, Hugo has a good grasp of it. "Hearing you say this, I'm a little interested in your script, I don't know if you'd like to talk to me about it."
"George, you care so much about Hugo's script, can I understand that you want to invest?" David Geffen suddenly said something next to him, but it was a little banter and a little risky: Hugo and George had only met for five minutes, and the two were not familiar with each other at all, if George had the intention to make things difficult for Hugo, David's words would obviously be a pit.
But fortunately, George glanced at Steven, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Although I can't come up with $100 million, it's no problem to find tens of millions of sponsors." I just don't know how much Hugo's real sex script will cost. ”
George is obviously joking, if it is really a real script, then the investment is likely to be a few million is enough, and even less than three million is not unusual. With such a sum of money, several bigwigs present can take it out directly, and there is no need to worry too much about it, including Hugo.
"That's bad news, George, are you trying to get me and Michael out of work?" Barbara lost no time in interjecting and turning everyone's attention back to her, "I, a producer who lives by developing new works, are now feeling a huge crisis. Barbara was a little picky. The tone of teasing and coquettishness was very flattering, which made everyone laugh. Then Barbara looked at Hugo, "Young Hugo, did you say yes?"
In fact, Barbara is suggesting that if Hugo wants to invest in a new work, he should at least look for her to work with first - or MGM with whom she has a long-term relationship.
Although this is just a two-sentence back and forth, it can be clearly felt that everyone is happy to see Hugo write the script. Not to mention whether this is a polite social occasion or not, but you can also see the mystery in it.
On the power list of Hollywood, the real power of life and death is always the control of the people, there are too few things that actors can control, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt , George Clooney, etc., these people After entering the 21st century, after the influence of actors gradually expanded, they also slowly began to work part-time behind the scenes, including George Clooney, whose directorial ability is sometimes good and bad, they will shoulder the responsibility of making people, investment, development, and power, This is an inevitable path.
Of course, there are also people who have been actors all their lives and will always be actors, such as Katharine Hepburn. But if you want to stand at the top of Hollywood, from the actor position to the production position, this is the only way.
Hugo's career is now in full swing, and his current highest salary is still 6 million, but there are countless production companies willing to wave a check for 15 million dollars to summon him to his banner, and now as long as Hugo nods and agrees to the works in Yunnan, the attention is bound to increase exponentially. In this context, Hugo began to get involved in the screenwriting industry, whether he wanted it or not, but at least in the eyes of Steven and others, it was a very wise choice, and this kind of far-sighted wisdom is not something that any actor can have.
Therefore, whether it is Steven, David, or George, including Barbara, the eyes given to Hugo are encouraging, and it can be seen that they support Hugo's change, which also means that they are optimistic about Hugo's future.
"Am I going to get carried away? I was flattered that the script I wrote had been recognized by so many people. Hugo did not answer Barbara's question directly, but deliberately showed a smug expression and blackened himself.
In fact, Hugo knew very well that even Tom Cruise or Arnold and Schwarzenegger, if they were to write a script, they would only be nobodies, but they had more ways for the producers to see the script, and as a result, the producers still had to judge by the quality of the script - no one is a fool and would invest in a bad script. Therefore, even if Hugo starts writing the script, he will inevitably start from scratch, and the popularity of these people in front of him is only politeness in social situations, more symbolic than substantial.
Hugo's answer pleased everyone, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
Because of the gathering of George, David and Steven three giants here, it is obviously like a spotlight, attracting countless moths to follow one after another, Rick Rosen and Ali Emmanuel also took advantage of Hugo's opportunity to quickly come over, they are also the first time to show their faces in front of the top Hollywood giants as the top executives of Endeavor elite brokerage companies, but unfortunately, today's MGM executives obviously did not come in order to avoid suspicion, but Barbara's agent is there, and the role is the same.
In addition, Hugo knew a bunch of people, which embarrassed Hugo, he was a face blind patient, and he was not very skilled in remembering names, and he saw waves of people, he didn't even know what industry the person in front of him was, he was still there trying to think about which union was the head of the Los Angeles region, and that person had already left, and then Steven introduced him to the next one.
In desperation, Hugo could only keep smiling, always calling each other "sir", and then following everyone's topic to make do with the past, but it was all right.
Finally waited for Barbara and George to walk towards the other actor, Steven and David left with Hugo, but Steven did not let Hugo go, but seriously asked Hugo again about the creation of the script, Hugo was a little tired at this time, and he was relatively relaxed in front of Steven, so he said, "What, are you really interested in this script?"
"Why not?" Steven raised his eyebrows with a chuckle, then glanced at David, who laughed too, and then Steven said, "David, David, and I, and another old guy are raising an independent studio, and we will also collect scripts and produce films, so if you have a script, of course we would like to read it." ”
DreamWorks!
Hugo was shocked for a moment, but he was not so excited that he leaked the secret, but said happily, "Is this true? That's great news. However, I don't think the script can make money, Steven, I just said that this is a real sex script, and I mean it. ”
Real yàn sex script, to put it bluntly, is actually like the real yàn of science, constantly throwing money, one out of a hundred can succeed is a happy event, and the rest must be smashed pot. So the biggest problem for scientists every year is finding sponsorships to support their research.
It's the same with movies, if you invest millions of dollars, maybe you won't even have a single drift, and there will definitely be a lot.
Steven didn't look at Hugo as a joke, but he didn't mind, "You also said that this is a real script, in that case, you shouldn't dislike our studio is just a small company that has just been established." Steven and David have been optimistic about Hugo for a long time, and now Hugo has not disappointed them and has begun to get involved in the field of screenwriting, which is naturally the result they are most looking forward to seeing.
Hugo raised an eyebrow. That's a good thing for me, you know, it's never easy to get sponsorship. What's more, it's just to show you the script, I just hope you don't get too disappointed.
