Hugo and others have postponed the time to leave, but they didn't expect to be recognized, mainly because Hugo's recognition is indeed too high now, but fortunately, these are die-hard fans, although enthusiastic, they didn't create any chaos, just hugged Hugo to leave the Forum Arena.

But even so, it took a full twenty minutes to leave the Forum Arena.

After leaving, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen strongly invited Hugo and others to have dinner together, and then opened a bottle of red wine, and the group of six people actually had a good conversation, including Samora, who had been focusing on food, and Leonardo, who had overcome his tensions.

By the time Hugo returned home, it was already half past eleven. Fokine and Rick sat in the hall watching the recording of the World Cup qualifiers, and they enjoyed themselves. However, seeing that Hugo had returned, Fokine also got up and left, "Rest early in the evening, and tomorrow we will start practicing with the band." ”

After Hugo nodded his head to show that he understood, he lay down directly on the sofa, "What's wrong?" Isn't it the same to talk about it directly tonight? Hugo was joking at Rick, "Won't Rachel complain if you're so late to go back?" "Rachel is Rick's wife.

Rick couldn't help but smile shyly at Hugo's words, "She's used to it." Then he got back to business, "You're not going to join the band tomorrow, and I'm not going to bother you." By the way, Joe, I'll have a meeting with Henry tomorrow, and you'd better be there, and we'll have to finalize the tour and the film's promotional plans. ”

Joseph nodded and sat down next to him, "You seemed surprised on the phone just now, what the hell is going on?" ”

When Rick called Joseph before dinner to communicate, he temporarily proposed to meet and get together in the evening, they only sat down yesterday to talk formally, and today Rick suddenly asked for a formal meeting, Joseph thought something was wrong, but Rick didn't elaborate, just said that it was not urgent, and it would be too late to talk after dinner.

So while Hugo and the others were having dinner, Rick came to Hugo's house and waited, and since he didn't have the key to the house, Joseph asked him to contact Fokin.

"Hugo, you went to the draft today, did Steven give you the ticket?" Rick did not answer Joseph's words, but looked at Hugo. Joseph listened to this question and was stunned, and then remembered that it was only after he learned that they and Steven were going to have dinner together at dinner, and then proposed to meet in the evening.

Hugo didn't know why, so he nodded directly, "Yes, Steven suddenly called that day and asked me if I was interested in rugby, he had a few extra draft tickets." In fact, when Steven asked Hugo, he was also a little surprised, because he didn't remember that he had talked to Steven about rugby when he was in the crew, "I thought it was strange at the time, and asked him how he knew that I liked rugby, and he said it was a coincidence." ”

Rick didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a moment before looking up at Hugo, "I just heard Joe say, besides Steven, there is also David Geffen?" ”

Hugo also noticed the caution in Rick's words, and couldn't help but look at Joseph, wanting to find an answer, but Joseph was also confused at this time, after all, Joseph had transformed into Hugo's manager in the past two months, although he continued to receive news in the circle, but after all, the manager had moved away from the first front, and the breadth and depth of the news were not so well-informed.

"Yes, Steven is here with David for the draft today." Hugo nodded in the affirmative, "What's wrong, Rick, is there something wrong?" After all, Hugo and Rick have just started working together, and the two have no tacit understanding, so all communication can only start from scratch. Hugo chose the easiest way, opening the skylight and speaking brightly.

Rick also had this idea, so he rushed over overnight, he thought about it and organized his language, "I think Steven and David are looking for you today, maybe things are not so simple." Of course, it is also possible that this qiē is overthinking. ”

Rick is a very cautious man, and he never makes unreasonable speculations. Hugo didn't feel much about this, but Joseph understood it very well. Hearing this, Joseph couldn't help but get serious, and carefully recalled today's meeting, but apart from rugby is rugby, they didn't talk about any important issues at all.

Rick knew that what he was saying now was too general, and quickly said, "Here's the thing. Recently, there have been a lot of scripts that have been approached by you, but I've stayed with them and sifted through them one by one, and a few of them feel pretty good, and I've even talked to the writers or producers about these projects. ”

In fact, the situation in the past two months has been a bit delicate, on the one hand, after Hugo won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, major production companies are obviously bullish on Hugo's future, so many scripts in preparation are aimed at Hugo, and Rick, as Hugo's new agent, has naturally become a fragrant bun.

On the other hand, because of the split within the international innovation management company, which directly gave birth to Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, the international innovation management company headed by Marvin Josephson naturally tried its best to use the network resources in its hands to strangle Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company in its infancy, so some producers will also wait and see for the time being out of human relationships.

However, for production companies, the situation of the agency is not something they need to consider, they really care about the initial interests. Therefore, Hugo's strong appeal still overwhelms human relationships. In the past two months, Rick has offered to invite him to lunch to discuss the script, at least in the double digits.

Of course, Rick didn't tell Hugo about these delicate things, but simply said a result, "One of the projects is David Geffen's, and David and I had lunch once, and we had a very pleasant conversation. ”

At this point, it seems to be clear. But the question is, today David has not mentioned the new work from beginning to end, is it really just a friendship?

Rick continued, "This project has actually been in preparation for a while, and David is ready to invest 50 million to 60 million dollars to build it with a luxury lineup. At present, the director has been confirmed to be Neil Jordan. Jordan), in terms of actors, David intends to be carefully selected for each role. He thinks you're a good fit for the role of the leading actor, so he talked to me and wanted to see your opinion, but I still didn't reply to him for the time being on the grounds that you were preparing for the tour. ”

"You're not happy with this project?" Hugo opened his mouth to ask, Rick didn't mention it at all yesterday, to be precise, Rick didn't mention any project yesterday.

Rick laughed, "No, I just want to take a second look at the overall situation, have a further understanding, and make sure that I think it's appropriate, and then talk to you, so that you can ask about the script, and I can have an explanation." Another thing Rick didn't say was that he knew that Hugo was definitely touring at the moment and would not take any scripts, and besides, "Life and Death" had just finished in March, so there was really no need for Hugo to take on the script too intensively, so Rick was not in a hurry.

Joseph sat next to him, but suddenly remembered, "Hugo, do you remember?" It was Steven who introduced David to you before the Oscars began, and you talked for a long time that day. You say, could it be that David wanted you to star in this script from that time? ”

Hugo was dumbfounded, and was reminded by Joseph like this, he remembered that he and David met at the Oscars, "No, what kind of script is it, he actually started brewing two months ago, wouldn't it be better to just open his mouth?" ”

"yes, that's why I'm here today." Rick continued, "If it's just a script, David doesn't need to go around in a big circle, even if he is afraid that you will refuse, he can have an in-depth conversation with you, and there is no need to go around in circles like this." ”

Joseph and Hugo also nodded, and Hugo said, "At today's draft and dinner, David really didn't mention the project. ”

"You see, the two times you and David met, it was Steven who pulled the strings, and Steven was also there. If David wanted you to star in the script, he could just let Steven convince you, but he didn't. Rick paused for a moment, as if to gather his thoughts, before he spoke, "So I wonder if it's because David and Steven are making a big move, they just want to make friends with you." Steven has always had a good relationship with you, and he's spoken for you in the media many times, and now David again...... I think maybe they are thinking about not only the project I am doing, but also the long-term development of the future. ”

"What development?" Joseph spoke, but Hugo's brain had an answer that was already coming out!

DreamWorks.

Rick didn't know what was going on in Hugo's mind, but he continued, "Actually, Steven's movements are very frequent after the Oscars, and he seems to be brewing something big, not only David, but also Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg. Jeffrey and Disney CEO Michael Eisner Eisner) had a terrible relationship, Disney called Eisner a tyrant, and the relationship between the two was strained. ”

Rick glanced at Hugo, then said cautiously, "So I'm wondering if Steven wants to create a company, and has a lot of plans." Therefore, they have a good relationship with you, that is, they hope that after the company is established, if there is a suitable opportunity, they can cooperate with you. ”

Hugo looked at Rick in surprise, what is called seeing the essence through the phenomenon, today Rick taught Hugo a vivid lesson!
