Hugo knew what Rick meant, and before the start of the "" tour, they discussed that they were not in a hurry to take on the new film for the time being, so including the "Night Vampire" that was being prepared was put on hold - of course, now that nearly two months have passed, maybe "Night Vampire" has already started filming, so naturally there will be no place for Hugo.

Now that the tour is over, it is clear from the hints given by Mark to Joseph that the studios are now trying to mend their relationship with Hugo. In fact, the two sides can't say that the relationship has broken down, it's just a little unpleasant, and they only need to extend an olive branch a little to solve the problem.

However, from Rick's expression, Hugo decoded something more, "Why, in addition to that, other companies have actions?" ”

Looking at Hugo's expression, Rick chuckled, "Of course. ”

As expected, the big win of "" directly pushed Hugo to a new high in his career, and the great success of "" was an unexpected gain, although it was only Hugo's success alone, but it released a signal like the whole Hollywood: Hugo, who was in full swing, did not hesitate to choose Endeavor Elite Agency, which shows that this agency is worthy of Hugo's trust.

There are two sides to everything. When he was at a low point before, people thought that Hugo had been rolling in Hollywood for ten years and still had no achievements, and his vision was bad; But now, Hugo's previous ups and downs in his ten-year career have become what people call "rich experience", so now Hugo's choice of brokerage companies has become "discerning". That's the obvious difference.

Moreover, not only Hugo, but also Tom Hanks, another actor under Rick, also rose strongly, first and then after the release of "" The hot reaction also further brought Endeavour elite agency into people's field of vision.

It can be said that although Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company has only been established for less than three months and has not yet gained a foothold, after this period of brewing and adjustment, they have initially stabilized their position, and it is not so easy for international innovation management companies to easily suppress Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.

So, lately, Rick's mood has been like the scorching sun, full of vitality.

Hugo looked at the bright smile on Rick's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, although Rick usually looked like a smile, but at this time, the lightness and joy from the heart still made Hugo notice the difference, "So, tell me about the specific situation?" ”

In fact, Hugo has just finished his tour, and he will be in the studio for some time to finish his second album, so he has no plans to start working again until at least the end of July. However, since the film industry has already made a preemptive move, it doesn't hurt for him to have a rough understanding of the situation. Even if you don't get to work right away, it's a good idea to start picking out some scripts gradually.

Although Rick was excited, he still did not take the initiative to persuade Hugo to start taking the script, but asked Hugo's opinion, and only after receiving affirmation did he explain the situation. At least from this point, it can be seen that Rick is not carried away by interests, and knows how to look at moderation.

"If you want to talk about the scripts of the major companies, then I think maybe it would be better for you to go to the office, because there are at least a few boxes." Rick chuckled, and there was a rare hint of smugness in his words, which is not often seen.

Joseph's eyes widened in surprise, "Rick, how big do you mean the box?" Late last year, Joseph also experienced the kind of frenzy of scripts that came in him, and he had more than forty scripts on hand at most, but not several boxes. So, to hear Rick say this, Joseph was quite surprised.

Not only Joseph, but even Henry, who didn't know much about movies, looked at it in surprise and lazily teased, "Did I understand it wrong?" When did Hollywood scripts get out like scrap paper? ”

Rick's personality is not the ostentatious type, so instead of enjoying Joseph and Henry's surprised gazes, he looked at Hugo and said, "I don't have a detailed count, but I have at least seventy scripts in my hands." Saying this, Hugo's eyes widened, seventy? What is this concept? Could it be that the whole of Hollywood is currently flooding with scripts? It's incredible!

But Rick didn't pause, and continued, "But there is moisture, and there are really twenty-five from the big eight studios, some of the others are independent production companies, and some are ...... You know, unknown screenwriters. As soon as Rick explained this, everyone suddenly understood.

Hollywood screenwriters want to get ahead, and the well-known ways can actually be summed up in two ways, one is to connect with the production company, and the other is to connect with the powerful people. The former includes sending scripts to production companies and independent companies, finding suitable sponsors for investment, and so on. The latter is to communicate with producers, directors, actors, and other powerful people who are willing to help match, or they are willing to invest in the production, and the result is the same.

In the first way, it is more traditional and formal, but it is also more difficult, and the production company may be subject to hundreds or thousands of scripts a week, and it is not easy to stand out.

The second way is much more casual, for example, dining in a restaurant, meeting a big-name director, and cheekily stepping forward to submit the script, which is a common thing, not only for screenwriters, but also for small directors and third-rate actors. That's why there's a joke in Los Angeles that says, "There's always a shortage of waiters in restaurants, especially those frequented by big-name celebrities." ”

At the beginning, Joseph got more than 40 scripts, including these second-tier screenwriters and third-tier screenwriters who submitted them alone. "That's what it stands for.

Now after the rapid rise of Hugo, which also includes works with a low-cost and "new" lineup like "vulgar", it naturally ignites great hope for the screenwriter at the bottom, so Rick is also busy here.

"In fact, there are also grades from the eight major film companies, and about half of them are really sincere." Rick summed it up briefly, and he didn't care much about numbers, because Rick knew that the quality of the script was far more important than the quantity, and the actor in front of him had always been a very assertive person, and a hundred scripts were not as good as a script that was appetizing.

"The film industry actually tentatively gave me two scripts before this, and didn't talk further, but judging from the information that Joe found today, the action behind them should be much bigger than expected." Rick glanced at Joseph, he knew that Mark was an old fox, and today Joseph was able to extract so much information from Mark's mouth, of course, because Mark underestimated the enemy, but Joseph's ability could not be ignored.

Immediately, Rick looked at Hugo again, "I think repairing the relationship is actually secondary, the point is that Mark is under a lot of pressure in the film industry right now, and I heard that there seems to be people within the company who want to take his place, and Mark wants to bet on you." ”

Rick is really well-informed, and the secrets of the film company can be heard, although it may just be a shadow. In a large company like this, internal power struggles are bound to persist all the time, and this is also a mandatory topic for large business leaders. Mark, of course, is no exception.

However, Hugo was not interested in the struggle within the studio, and he chuckled, "Then he may have picked the wrong person." This sentence made Rick, Henry, and Joseph all smile at each other, and their eyes all showed the same feeling.

Hugo's words do not mean revenge, but have another deep meaning.

If Mark wants to rely on several successive successful productions to consolidate his position as president, then commercial blockbusters are bound to be the first choice, because this is the fastest effect; The choice of artworks, such as the Golden Globes and the Oscars, is full of unknowns, and even if they win, the after-effects will take time to brew. So, commercial blockbusters are the best choice.

But the problem is that Hugo does not reject commercial blockbusters, but he also does not want to blindly take on commercial works. For example, he has just finished starring in "", maybe he will appear in action movies in the future, but at least it will not be the next one; For example, he starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" last year, and he didn't have much interest in chick movies for a short time.

In this way, if Mark wants to be effective in a short period of time, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are obviously more reliable choices than Hugo.

"But Mark is confident." Rick and the three of them all knew what Hugo meant, so he chuckled and continued, "I have a record of the names that Joe heard today, and although Mark hasn't handed me the script at the moment, it's no secret that those names are currently in the pipeline. ”

"Just for you." Joseph interjected, which made Rick smile shyly.

Rick didn't admit or deny it, but went on to say, "Jerry Zucker, Gus Van Sant, Sam Raimi. Action, Comedy, Crime, Western, Adventure, Romance...... The projects represented by these three names cover almost all of these projects, and the genre also includes commercial films and art films, and he is obviously very thoughtful. And, I guess, he's planning more than just these three. ”

Listening to Rick's analysis, Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you serious?" For me, for me? Mark is so well prepared? Why did I feel as if he was trying to sell me to human traffickers? ”

Hugo's words made the three of them laugh again, and Henry lazily pouted, "Sell you to Amsterdam?" ”

Rick smiled, "That's why I said, Mark is not to be underestimated, I can imagine that he has a very detailed idea of how to control the situation, and you are only part of his big plan." ”

Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Okay, okay, I know, I'm going to Amsterdam!" "Yes. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Kazakhstan to read it, and vote for the work, and vote for the monthly pass. Your support is the biggest motivation for me to continue creating! ).
