Regardless of Hugo's interest in "007" or not, today's dinner is important to Rick, and he knows it very well.

The film company, not to mention that MGM has not yet reached the "skinny death" of Cheng Dù; The dinner attended by George Lucas and Steven can imagine the weight of the guests; The choice of the new "007", there will definitely be many senior brokers on the scene, and it can be speculated with their toes, and the current three major brokerage companies will not be absent......

Connect all these threads to see how important this dinner is for Endeavor Elite Agency.

Strictly speaking, Endeavour elite brokerage companies are not qualified to enter this kind of dinner party at all, but they relied on Hugo as a stepping stone to get the ticket, no wonder Rick is so cautious; And the reason why Rick asked Hugo to bring Cameron to attend is not only the role of a female companion, but also Cameron is also an actor in Endeavor Elite Agency, and he can let Ali and Emmanuel or other senior partners enter the dinner together.

Hugo himself is one of the owners of Endeavor Elite Agency, and he naturally hopes that the company's development can be on the right track; Even putting all of this aside, after Hugo got acquainted with top figures such as Steven and David Geffen, he also knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and he was only exposed to a small part of the current Hollywood network, so from any point of view, he had to attend the dinner.

Since Steven invited Hugo for a "private party", and there were no hours left before the dinner began, Hugo and Cameron were bound to not dress up ceremoniously, but they couldn't be too simple and casual, and they had to fit the style of the dinner, which was really difficult to grasp.

It's a dinner party, but it's certainly not a face-to-face sit-down dinner, it's a buffet pie, and it's not a wise choice to arrive too early or too late. Rick and Ali arrived at their destination at a quarter past eight, while Hugo and Cameron, accompanied by Samora and Joseph, arrived "late" half an hour later.

Today's dinner was held in Malibu, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in silence and tranquility, when Hugo and his party arrived at the door of the villa, they were stopped by the guard at the door, he politely stepped forward, asked Samora to roll down the window, confirmed the true identity of Hugo and Cameron, and checked with the guest list in his hand, and then let them in.

There are not many guests at this kind of high-end dinner, and there are people with names and surnames who can arrive here, so a face is the best pass compared to an invitation. If you are stuck at the door, but the guards can't recognize it, this is the biggest humiliation for the actor.

Due to the strict security system at the entrance, all thirteen paparazzi cars following Hugo were stopped outside, which made Hugo applaud.

In fact, when he went out today, Hugo originally wanted to get rid of the paparazzi, but the paparazzi were not so easy to get rid of, especially after Cameron returned to Los Angeles today, they were even more reluctant to give up.

Second, today's dinner is obviously not able to hide from the powerful reporters, maybe behind the scenes, he secretly notified the media to come to "excavate" the revelations, so there is no need for Hugo to hide it. If MGM wants to keep it a complete secret, then they must have corresponding measures, and even if the paparazzi follow the scene, it is not so easy to succeed.

So, Hugo ended up going out with a big string of tails.

After walking through the spacious courtyard in front of the house, which takes at least fifteen minutes to walk, Samora parked the car at the top of the long staircase, and a waiter in a tuxedo stepped forward and opened the door for Hugo, who looked up and smiled kindly at Hugo, "Good evening, Mr. Lancaster, is the traffic still smooth?"

Apparently, the waiter got the message from the security guard at the door, and as soon as he came up, he called out Hugo's name. After Hugo smiled and greeted, he stretched out his hand and led Cameron out of the car, and the waiter bowed politely thirty degrees, "Miss Diaz, good evening, I hope you have a good night." Then the waiter bent down and stretched out his hand, and let Hugo and Cameron follow him.

Hugo glanced back at Joseph, who motioned for Hugo and Cameron to go up first, and he and Samora would naturally follow in a moment. At such a private party, the manager will certainly not be inseparable from the actors, they also have their own circle. Managers are different from agents, they are more like half spokespersons for artists, so they also have a network in their circle that they can't touch and can't see.

Hugo took Cameron and walked up the marble steps in front of him, and the raging sea breeze on the steps came in all directions, making this midsummer night a little chilly, fortunately, the steps were not long, Hugo and Cameron soon came to the gate, and entered the hall under the guidance of the waiter.

Walking into the lobby, the warm light spilled down, and Hugo asked Cameron in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Cameron wore a black one-line skirt tonight, with a white shirt, dignified but sexy, casual but not grand, simple and generous with a pair of red fingerless high heels, the whole person lit up. She knew that Hugo was worried that she was wearing too few clothes, and the seaside was still different, so she shook her head at Hugo with a smile, "I'm fine." ”

At this time, Hugo had time to look at the situation in front of him, the crowd in the hall was not as large as he imagined, but more than thirty people, of course, the villa was so big, Hugo only saw the scene in front of him, but at least it could be proved that this was indeed a private party, because there were indeed not too many actors in Hugo's sight.

The waiter who led Hugo and Cameron in left, but then a waiter came up and asked what drink they needed, Hugo asked for two glasses of champagne, and then looked up to see that Roland and Parkin had already walked in front of him, "Long time no see." ”

Roland is one of the senior partners of Jianxin Artist Agency, he personally poached Hugo, and even used Quentin Tarantino and "vulgarity" to make a little unpleasant, but in fact, Roland can become the top figure in the brokerage industry, there is a reason, he still maintains a gentlemanly demeanor after the failure of the negotiation, and there has been no small action behind the scenes in the past six months - at least it has not affected Hugo.

Roland shook Hugo's hand with a smile, and then looked at Cameron politely, "Dear Miss Diaz, the 'Strange Guy in Disguise' is really amazing, but I didn't expect that when I saw the real person today, I got more visual enjoyment." "A gentleman with no lack of humor, politeness and intimacy, and above all, he did not see Cameron as Hugo's female companion, but as an independent individual, which is particularly rare.

Sure enough, Cameron's originally nervous feelings were also relieved a little, and the smile on his face became much more natural, "I think ladies always like these sweet words, and I am no exception." Cameron's clear and hearty laughter made Roland chuckle too.

"I was talking to Rick for a while, and I'm betting with him if you're going to pick the next work first, or release a second album first." Roland's jokes are indeed of a very high standard, full of fun, but with a little temptation.

The smile on Hugo's face was also relaxed, "Can I participate in this gamble?" I swear, I'm curious about the outcome. Hugo's humor made Roland smile, but he knew that Hugo had bypassed his problem.

Before Roland could say anything more, someone next to him walked over, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, "Hey, dear Hugo." It was Nicole who greeted her, with a dignified and enthusiastic smile on her face.

After a few people said hello, Roland took his leave, leaving the Crews behind.

After Tom watched Roland leave, "So, Roland has already started to act?" Hugo looked at him in surprise, and Tom went on to explain, "The actor he represents is also one of the contenders, and he is the most popular. Hugo understood in an instant.

Hugo and Tom are not friends, because they don't have a personal relationship, but they have a good relationship. Regardless of Tom's acting skills or private life, simply talking about Tom's personality, he is indeed a very charismatic person, so he has been able to grow in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, and he has repeatedly handed out olive branches to Hugo, even if the two have had several head-to-head competitions.

It's as if now, Tom not only relieved Hugo, but also reminded him.

Hugo chuckled, "I remember you and Roland are from the same company." Tom and Brad and Pet are both from the Sword New Artist Agency, so it is also possible that the two of them can star in "Night Vampire" together. Within the Jianxin Artist Agency, because of the special system, their internal competition is not so fierce, but the actors are different, and obviously Tom and Brad are a pair of competitors.

Hugo can guess that it is estimated that the resources within the Jianxin Artist Agency are tilting towards Brad and wants to support Brad, and Tom, who has already become famous and in the ascendant, is naturally not happy to see such a situation. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Tom repeatedly courted Hugo.

Hugo's teasing made Tom laugh, "Business is business, friends are friends, these are two different things." What's more, I'm just an outsider. Tom's bright smile can be called a peerless style, deducting the height disadvantage, the "Tom Brother" in the 80s and 90s is indeed amazingly charming, even Hugo, who is also a man, can't help but admire.

When Tom says "outsider", he is actually saying that he has nothing to do with tonight's James and Bond alternates, and if Hugo understands what he is saying, then he will know how to answer; If he didn't understand, he probably thought Tom would have acted as if nothing had happened.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why shouldn't I?" One sentence made Tom slightly stunned, and then pursed his lips and laughed, "Then it seems that tonight is a carnival."
