Superstar

"What are you talking about?" Hugo looked at Rick in front of him with a look of surprise, while Joseph, who was sitting aside, was lost in thought, and the thinking between his brows also indicated his incomprehension.

Rick looked at the staff who were frightened around him, smiled and greeted calmly. Hugo's sudden uplift of voice just now surprised many people. "Hugo, do you really want to participate?" Rick looked at Hugo again and said without haste, "If you really want to participate, of course there is no problem. It is not for me. What a big problem."

Hugo was stumped by Rick’s rhetorical question and couldn’t help but stunned, “No, I didn’t mean that.” Then Hugo himself laughed helplessly, seeming to be amused by his fright and can’t wait to explain. "Rick, you know what I mean."

"Of course I know." Rick was amused by Hugo's expression, it can be seen that his mood is very relaxed. Hugo was able to refuse to attend the Grammys, but now he naturally doesn't care too much about whether to attend the Golden Globes. Hugo was just surprised by his remarks.

Indeed, if someone told Rick a month ago that he would advise Hugo to refuse to attend the Golden Globes, he would definitely sneer and think that the opponent is crazy. As an agent, an award ceremony similar to the Golden Globe is a promotional occasion that must not be missed. Not only the award itself, but the Golden Globe itself and the powerful figures appearing on the celebration banquet are important weapons at all times. What's more, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is still in the stage of rapid development, so it is not to be missed.

But now, Rick personally came to Burbank's shooting scene, personally suggested Hugo "don't attend the Golden Globe Awards", things are so wonderful.

"Rick, are you planning to fight for the initiative?" Although Joseph was surprised, he thought more and considered the overall situation more, so he thought about it carefully and knew that Rick was definitely not aimless.

Rick opened his hands to Joseph, "You can say that, but it is not accurate. In fact, in the current situation, whether Hugo attends the Golden Globes or not, the initiative is in Hugo's hands. Yes, there is no doubt about it. So if you really want to attend, I agree with both hands." The latter sentence was addressed to Hugo, which made Hugo chuckle, and then Rick went on to say, "However, I am really trying to fight for more interests, including Hugo, and the company."

Joseph nodded thoughtfully, while Rick looked around cautiously. After making sure that the staff of Independence Day were busy, he controlled his own volume and said, "Hollywood Foreign Reporter The association has given you eight acting nominations in the past four years. After deducting three of this year, there are five, but you have never received anything. Whether this is coincidence or deliberate, the result has been determined. If you are this year Just risk attending. In the end, the Golden Globes really gave you awards. On the contrary, it is like we have reached a deal with the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association to exchange awards by attending."

In fact, there is no direct connection between the actor's attendance and the award ceremony, because the award has been determined before the award ceremony. But it is undeniable that every award is selected by people, so personal senses and the closeness of the network will have an impact. Awards, this is a very subjective thing.

Hugo was absent from the Golden Globes two years before, and the unpleasant slander at the celebration banquet occurred back in 1992. It can be said that the relationship between Hugo and the Golden Globes has never been close. Last year Hugo blatantly rejected the Golden Globes to go to Salt Lake City to participate in the Sundance Film Festival.

Even if Hugo has absolutely appropriate reasons for his eyesight, everyone will have their own guesses.

This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony, in fact, even if they only give Hugo a nomination, people know that it is more than 70% possible that this nomination will win the award smoothly.

Hugo's absolute hard power is recognized by everyone. The "Schindler's List" won for Hugo's golden figure is still admired by others, and so far Hugo is one of the few in film history to have an Oscar but not. The actors of the Golden Globes-most of the others are meteors who disappeared after their surprise at the Oscars. Before the Golden Globes had time to make up for it, those people gradually fell silent. But Hugo is different. As the first person in Hollywood today, Hugo has never won the Golden Globe Award? This is a hard fact to accept for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Therefore, everyone knows that Hugo will definitely win the Golden Globes this year, regardless of whether he will attend or not. The Golden Globe Awards gave Hugo three acting nominations and one screenwriter nominations. On the one hand, Hugo is given enough attention. Of course, these four nominations are also convincing enough; on the one hand, they also increase suspense and let the final The trend of the award is retained until the award ceremony.

Under such circumstances, Hugo attended the Golden Globes for the first time in two years. Although it can be seen as a face to the Golden Globes, it will inevitably leave the impression that "I am here to win the prize", and it will make People feel that this is a transaction. Even if Hugo wins the award on his own absolute strength, it seems difficult to justify.

Timing, this is a matter of timing.

"Of course, even if these thoughts of mine come true, they are just gossip at best and will not have much impact." Rick didn't seem worried at all, because he knew that with Hugo's current prestige, as long as it didn't reproduce the original A terrible situation like Michael Jackson's will not have much impact.

But it is precisely because of this that Rick needs to think more comprehensively. When Michael was at his peak, negative news followed one after another, even forcing Michael to accept an interview with Oprah Winfrey to clarify one by one. Even so, the effect was minimal. There are a lot of people's right and wrong, the shooting of the first bird, the tree attracts the wind, the wood show in the forest and the wind will destroy it... These words all say the same truth: it is never so easy to become a real superstar.

This is also one of the important reasons for Rick’s decision. “In addition, this is actually a game between the company and the Golden Globe. Knowing that Hugo will not be present, he still has to award the trophy to Hugo and let the Hollywood Foreign Press Association step back. This is not just a question of awards, but also a question of the entire battle."

In short, it is the status of a superstar, which is the so-called big-name strategy, so that even if the opponent knows that this is playing big-name, they can only be dumb to eat Coptis. However, the Golden Globes are the same as the 20th Century Fox, they will be happy to swallow this bitter fruit, but also to swallow it with a smile.

Rick obviously has a more long-term plan. Starting from "Independence Day" to this time the Golden Globe Awards, the layout behind the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is certainly not that simple.

"What if they learn that I'm not attending and decide not to award us any awards?" Hugo laughed without holding back. This kind of behind-the-scenes game was heard in Hugo's ears, and it was really like a playhouse.

"That's right," it was Joseph who replied, and he shrugged indifferently, "you don't want to attend anymore."

"Correct answer!" Although Rick did not laugh, his bright eyes revealed his relaxed and excited mood at the moment-in less than two years, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Having already initially possessed the ability to change the landscape of Hollywood, how could Rick not be excited?

The words of the two made Hugo choked. He thought about it carefully. The appeal of the Golden Globes is indeed limited, and he never seems to have too much regret about the absence of the Golden Globes.

"Actually, all these ideas came to me later," Rick added, leaning forward slightly, his eyes firmly locked on Hugo. "In the beginning, I was just out of Hugo's career plan. Considering it from a perspective, "Death Row" got the opportunity to participate in the Berlin Film Festival. Last year, you missed the "Before Sunrise" promotion in Berlin. It is obviously a good choice to attend this year."

Rick slowed down, but continued to say without interruption, "This is also because the three works of your last year are all works with more artistic flavor than commercial elements, and they are definitely more popular with film critics than audiences. The works are all works whose chance of winning the prize exceeds the box office data, so compared to the Golden Globes, Berlin is a better choice."

To be precise, the Berlin Film Festival is a better choice than the commercial focus of the Golden Globes.

Hugo immediately understood what Rick meant ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. It was actually very simple. It was the same as last year. He chose to participate in the Berlin Film Festival to express Hugo's persistence in the pursuit of art. This is obviously better than standing in gold. It is much more interesting to accept the screams of fans on the red carpet of the Ball Awards.

Of course, Hugo doesn’t necessarily agree with Rick’s idea—he and Rick’s understanding of art are obviously far apart, and he doesn’t think attending the Berlin Film Festival represents a higher level of artistic quality, but it is undeniable that Yu Guo is also very curious about the Berlin Film Festival, just like last year's Sundance Film Festival.

At this time, Rick’s thinking became completely clear. He was based on the Golden Globe Award and the Berlin Film Festival’s choice as a starting point. After thinking about it a lot, he found that rejecting the Golden Globe Award and attending the Berlin Film Festival can become his chess game. An important move in the middle of the game allows Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company to win more initiative.

After speaking, Rick leaned back in the chair again, and the whole person relaxed, "Of course, if you want to attend, this is still a good thing for us. After all, Los Angeles is our base camp, and it’s in the Golden Globes. It’s also good for the company to show up, and attending the Golden Globes and Berlin is not a problem. I just feel that you can maximize your benefits by not attending the Golden Globes. So the decision is yours."

Golden Globes, go or not?
