Chapter 1166: The Power of Layout

Is Hugo's filming of the "Seven Deadly Sins" a blessing or a curse? No one can cut it straight.

Although most people are generally optimistic about "Mission Impossible", they eventually missed Hugo; But for Hugo, at least from the perspective of weighing interests, there is no loss from taking over the "Seven Deadly Sins".

First of all, there is no loss of salary, and "Seven Deadly Sins" has also become Hugo's first work with a salary of 10 million; Secondly, "Mission Impossible" won the behind-the-scenes cast, the screenwriter and director are solid enough, but the cast of "Seven Deadly Sins" is slightly better, and the duel between the three male actors is really exciting.

Not to mention that the previous controversy about Hugo's salary has all disappeared.

Therefore, no one can cut it straight, and no one wants to cut it straight. No one will forget the living examples of "Pulp Fiction", "Speed of Life and Death", and "Sleepless Seattle".

For now, at least, it's a happy ending. The innovative artist agency chose the "Mission Impossible" that conforms to its strength and scale, while the Endeavor elite agency started small and slowly figured it out.

Martin Baum was in the game, and although he wasn't Tom Cruise's agent, Brad Pitt was only scratching the surface on the edge of the storm, but he clearly felt the shock from Endeavour Elite Agency.

As a good agent, Martin is also accustomed to making accurate judgments from the big picture, and after exchanging views with several senior partners such as Roland Parkin, they all agreed that they were actually falling behind in this game of chess, and they were caught off guard by Rick Rosen and Ali Emmanuel - and of course a large part of the reason was that they underestimated the enemy.

Rick and the others did not panic after learning that Tom had reached a cooperation agreement with Paramount first, but tried to maximize the benefits as much as possible in the limited time and space. What is even more frightening is that perhaps this "interest" is not the result of a hasty compromise at all, but a premeditated goal that they began to plan a long time ago.

Then the strength of Endeavor Elite Brokerage will have to be re-evaluated again.

"Martin, should I be happy?" Brad's voice of confusion and confusion pulled Martin back from his thoughts.

Martin looked up at Brad standing by the window, his sunny and handsome face full of confusion, making the excitement in his brow and eyes seem a little struggling. Brad has matured a lot over the past year, but he has experienced too little and his ingenuity is very limited, so many problems can only be scratched at the surface.

For Brad, he was really confused. He defeated Hugo to get the role of Mills in the "Seven Deadly Sins", and Hugo also lost to Tom in the competition of "Mission Impossible", which was enough to make him ecstatic; But the problem is that Hugo also joined the "Seven Deadly Sins", although it is only a small supporting role Anonymous, but Hugo's salary is twice that of him, the actor, which really loses his face, which is also a clear signal to all the crew members: Compared with the male lead, Hugo is the core of the crew, which makes Brad angry.

Martin knows what Brad is thinking, and he prefers an actor like Brad, and someone like Hugo who is too smart means that he is not easy to control. Martin even speculated maliciously that maybe it was because Hugo's personality was too strong and he insisted on playing the anonymous name of "The Seven Deadly Sins", so he made Rick scramble and had to go around such a big circle to clean up the mess for Hugo, and also won him a salary of 10 million in the crew. In this work, any link will be lost, Martin expressed his condolences to Rick.

But......

Ten million! Martin's right hand couldn't help but clench his fist, this head-to-head competition, he almost didn't have any power to fight back and lost, Brad's final salary was said to be five million, but in fact it was only four million, and another million must be obtained if the box office of the movie exceeds the cost of the movie. And Hugo not only got a salary of 10 million, but also obtained the qualification for box office dividends. Immediate opinion.

"Brad, you should be happy, rightfully so!" Martin suppressed his thoughts, his face was not worried at all, and the confident smile and joy made Brad's chaotic love slightly fixed, "You are now the hero of the movie, the leading actor of the movie, this is very different from when you were in 'Interview with the Vampire'." ”

Brad certainly knows what Martin means, he and Tom are tied for the leading role in "Interview with the Vampire", and now Hugo plays him in "The Seven Deadly Sins". This is a big step forward, especially stepping on Hugo's shoulders to star in the production, sweeping away the bad situation of being repeatedly suppressed by Hugo in the past three years, which is almost what Brad dreamed of.

Thinking of this, Brad's mood gradually became clearer, and the confusion and worry between his eyebrows dissipated little by little, revealing the joy and excitement that he should have.

"Now you don't bother with the media nonsense, you should focus on your role - you are the leading actor, and then focus on your performance, so that everyone knows clearly that acting skills are not measured by salary." Martin said in a resolute tone, in fact, it was to make Brad forget about the difference in salary, and speak with strength.

But Martin forgot about it, the person who really applies to this sentence should be Hugo, and now everyone in Hollywood knows clearly that guaranteed remuneration has never been a measure of Hugo's worth. Or rather, Martin didn't forget jì, he just wanted Brad to forget jì.

The smile on Brad's face narrowed slightly, and a determined light bloomed in his eyes, "Don't worry, I know!" I'll let everyone know that my acting skills deserve more than my looks! "Martin succeeded." Martin, you know how long I've been waiting for this day, I want to beat Hugo, there's no better chance than this one, I'm going to leave everyone speechless! ”

Not only will he let people see that his acting prowess is never touted, but he also wants everyone to know that his strength is not inferior to Hugo. In order to wait for this day, Brad has been working hard to learn acting and polishing his acting skills since "Farewell to Love", hoping to impress everyone one day.

The success of "Interview with the Vampire" and "Burning Years" still keeps him in the whirlpool of controversy, and his appearance is the focus of more discussion than his acting skills, which makes him feel that he is a little shorter than Hugo. Why does everyone praise Hugo's appearance and acting skills, but think that his acting skills are too good?

This time, he will make all the controversy disappear, and he will impress everyone with his solid appearance. As long as he thinks of the rivalry between him and Hugo in "The Seven Deadly Sins", he can't hold back the boiling and excitement in his heart now, he not only wants to be on a par with Hugo, he even began to sketch in his mind the scene of his acting skills killing all sides and crushing Hugo!

In a trance, Brad felt that he had stood on the pinnacle of success, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" and Hugo were his best stepping stones, and the raging winds and infinite beauty of the peak had already made Brad's adrenaline run wild.

Brad gritted his teeth tightly, and there was a lot of pride in his chest. Is there any situation that can be more direct and clear than the same competition? No. Compared with the previous times when people always used different works to compare Brad and Hugo's acting strength, this time the "Seven Deadly Sins" is the same platform, Hugo and Brad's performance strength and performance effect will be clearly presented in front of everyone, and at that time, justice will be in the hearts of the people!

"Hugo, I'm ready!" Brad's muscles tensed, and he looked ready to attack. He can't wait to prove himself and beat Hugo!

Martin looked at Brad who was swept away in front of him, and he was relieved, he needed Brad to be scrappy. Not to mention whether the acting skills can suppress Hugo, but at least there should be self-confidence, so that such a confrontation can spark, isn't it? What's more, film critics are iron-toothed, but the news media reports are not, and as an agent, he still has a lot to do, as long as Brad is competitive enough, he has room to operate.

"Seven Deadly Sins", not only Brad, but even Martin began to look forward to it. It's just that Martin is looking forward to not only the showdown between Brad and Hugo, but also the whole movie - why the "Seven Deadly Sins"? Why did Hugo choose this movie alone?

Martin suddenly remembered the first time he saw Hugo when he was "Righteous Sea Heroes", and he expressed his appreciation for Hugo. And now a qiē proves his vision, although Hugo is destined to be his artist, but Martin is still a little curious, what height Hugo can reach. And what about Brad? Martin doesn't think he's going to be worse than Rick.

Hugo attacked again after "before sunrise" and chose the "Seven Deadly Sins", and in a more general direction, this is the second time Hugo has cooperated with large companies since "the speed of life and death" and chose Paramount, which is definitely a focus worthy of everyone's attention. Not to mention that this incident is so lively.

Not only the media, not only innovative art agencies, not only international innovation management companies, in fact, even Hugo himself is confused.

Although "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins" were chosen by Hugo, he did not expect that the development of things would exceed expectations, and as a result, Joseph, Rick, Ali and others actually joined forces to turn the world upside down, and finally made Endeavour Elite Agency emerge, showing solid foundation and skills, making people realize that in addition to Hugo, Tom Hanks, Al Pacino and other stars, the strength of this agency is still not to be underestimated.

"What the hell is going on? How did things get to ...... Uh, so out of control? Hugo is also full of question marks.
