Superstar

\"&　　 Although Joseph was very unhappy with Hugo because of his work selection, which led to the Cold War for a long time, objectively speaking, Joseph’s original consideration was not wrong. Rick’s current consideration is It was exactly the same as Joseph.

Looking at Hugo’s current results, it’s still a step up from the "\". In this situation, Hugo’s salary has soared to 15 million U.S. dollars, although Hugo had the highest price before. His salary is only six million U.S. dollars.

In Hollywood, film remuneration is the most important criterion for measuring star rank, and the gap between ten million and fifteen million is a gap.

The situation that Hugo faced after the release of "\" has now been replicated again. After the huge success of "\", what works should Hugo pick up? What should be the pay? If I missed 15 million this time, So what will happen in the future?

Hugo faces the same choice, and Rick also faces the same situation as Joseph. At present, Rick has also made the same choice as Joseph: He still hopes that Hugo can choose a major production.

However, the current situation is much better than before. On the one hand, Hugo's current situation is much better than before. The opportunity to break through 15 million pieces of salary is not so urgent, and the threat of Tracey no longer exists; On the other hand, Hugo and Rick can talk face-to-face, and Joseph mediates in the middle, at least they can communicate normally. Of course, the most important thing is that Hugo currently does not have a script that attracts him like "\", which is equivalent to not having a spark that triggers contradictions.

"Rick, do you know what I mean?" After Hugo finished speaking, he also took a serious look at Joseph. Although the two of them had already cleared up their previous suspicions, and now Joseph has become his manager, but the original The contradiction between the two people is still not fully discussed, "I am not saying that these scripts are good or not, but that for the same script, your starting point is that the investment is the cost and the cast, but my starting point is that the script is the role. It is performance. If our pursuit happens to be realized in a script, then everyone will be happy, for example, ”; but the problem is that such a perfect script is not common, so we are bound to have many differences, such as'' .\"

This is the same as Lang. The buttocks determine the head, and different positions will inevitably lead to different ways of thinking.

Rick did not speak immediately, but looked at Hugo seriously. This is also Rick’s personality. He will always have countless thoughts in his head, but he will not make impulsive decisions and always maintain a sense of reason. He can always maintain a slight advantage at important junctures.

However, Joseph spoke. He put the script of "Future Water World" on his knees, "So, you are saying that when we choose the script, we should think about it: For the actors, is this script suitable? .\"

Time passed, and after changing positions, Joseph's thinking became clear. What's more, he is now a manager who makes calculations for Hugo, so he understood Hugo's meaning without any effort, and at the same time, he also understood that he and The origin of Hugo's contradiction. Thinking of this, Joseph couldn't help but sigh. In fact, if the two people communicated well, things wouldn't be so stale.

Hugo smiled at Joseph, then nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation. Joseph twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but he wanted to say something, but had no clue. In the end, he could only avoid his sight.

Rick was not surprised by this answer. In fact, when he signed Hugo, he fancyed Hugo's potential as an actor. Generally speaking, actors are easily divided into several categories, acting, box office, vase and so on.

For example, Daniel wearing a Lewis is a typical acting category. His best box office performance is "the last Mohican (the.last.of.the., with a box office of 75 million dollars. The box office of the rest of his works failed to exceed $50 million.

For example, Arnold-Schwarzenegger is a typical box office category, "True Lies", "Terminator 2" and other works have achieved brilliant box office results, but the awards are lackluster, even the nominations are few. .

For example, the vase category is even more numerous. Every year, a new batch of vase actors appear, and then they are randomly eliminated.

Actors who can balance acting and box office are really rare, and Hugo is the most successful representative in the past two years. So from the beginning, Rick had a different position on Hugo. He hoped that Hugo could become the most shining star in film history, even surpassing such great figures as Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, and Paul Newman.

It’s not difficult for Rick to understand Hugo’s words just now, but at the same time, this is also the reason why he brought the "Apollo l3" and "Future Water World" scripts, because these two scripts have the ability to transform Hugo's The career is further pushed to its peak.

Hugo looked at Rick who had never spoken. He knew that Rick was still immersed in thinking, so he simply pointed to the "Future Water World" in Joseph's hand and explained, "Look, this Have you read the script carefully? If you have read it, you will know that the main line of the script is simple, the story is boring, and the characters are thin. If I just returned from an embarrassing situation in Las Vegas, then this work would be a good choice.\"

"Future Water World" invests 175 million. Such a huge project is absolutely unmatched by any work in terms of topicality, but as Hugo said, the protagonist of this work is Special effects, pictures, directors, not stories or actors. Just like the "Avatar" in 2009, the protagonist is the director James Cameron, only James Cameron.

Hugo's performance in such works is not overkill, but good steel is not used on the blade. This kind of work, even if it is not Hugo, any other actors-even second-line and third-line actors can be competent. Of course, when Lang Meyer gave Hugo this script, he naturally hopes to borrow Hugo's box office appeal to recover the huge cost. This is also an important role of big-name actors.

Rick seemed to understand what Hugo meant, and then watched Hugo pick up the script of "Apollo l3\", "Relatively speaking, this script is much more suitable, leaving aside the 60 million-level investment. Said, the script and the characters have parts that are worth digging. So, if you take this script, I understand, but that...\" Hugo pointed to the script in Joseph's hands. He didn't speak any more, but shook his head. .

Rick let out a long sigh of relief, and he nodded his understanding. In fact, Hugo's meaning is very simple. He does not reject large-scale productions, such as "Interview with Vampires\" with a high investment of 50 million or more; he also does not reject commercial movies, such as "Life and Death Hour". Popcorn movies; he still does not reject the appearance of breaking the image, such as comedy movies like "Ghost in Disguise"-of course, the premise is that a film company is willing to look for him to appear.

From this point of view, although Hugo is troublesome and picky, there is still something in common with Rick in the general direction. After contacting Hugo's previous refusal of the several scripts of Columbia Pictures, Rick finally figured out some doorways, which will play a vital role in the future cooperation between the two people.

"Then what do you think of this script?" Rick pointed to the "Apollo L3" in Hugo's hand. He could feel that Hugo was not interested in this script.

Hugo did not answer immediately, but thought about it in silence.

When he saw the script for the first time, he refused without reading it at all. But objectively speaking, the script of "Apollo l3\" is still very good. He was nominated for Oscar for Best Picture. It was also Ron Howard (.) who won the Oscar statuette by relying on "Beautiful Mind (a...)\". Overall, the quality is guaranteed.

But the problem is that "Apollo l3\" is the main theme of the biographical film, the whole film is stable, and the director Lang is also a traditional academic director, the style is on the road of orthodox kings, without any spears and skills, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. . Moreover, the three protagonists of "Apollo l3" are quite facialized and did not dig deep. The performance of the lead star Tom Hanks is not very impressive. Under the background of the main theme of the American spirit, the main character lacks personality. The character becomes the background board, which makes people quite embarrassed.

"This is a good work, and the script looks very good, but... I can't get my energy up, it didn't stimulate my excitement, you know." That's all, Hugo said simply, "The story is Good story, but no highlights; the role is an inspiring role, but there is no room to play, so I don’t have the urge to act.\"

Rick carefully tasted Hugo’s words, and he could feel that Hugo has a higher pursuit of actor career ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ is filming "" and "speed of life and death", which is enough to entertain popular works. At the same time, he also hopes to become a better actor, and he also hopes to constantly challenge himself and break through himself.

Therefore, in less than half a year after shooting "Life and Death", what can impress Hugo should be a script that can bring more challenges. Today's seemingly simple conversation has an indelible and important role for the cooperation between Rick and Hugo.

"Perhaps you will be even more excited when you see the script of'Ghost in Disguise'." Joseph also fully understood Hugo's thoughts at this time, and the original dispute now seems to be ridiculous. He laughed mockingly, and then Said something jokingly.

Hugo nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, maybe in terms of quality, "Ghost in Disguise" is not as good as "Apollo 13", but if I choose, I am willing to choose "Ghost in Disguise". \"Hugo's expression also became clear. "However, I don't think it's a good thing for me to play "Ghost in Disguise". I don't have the skills of Jin Yikerry. If such an excellent comedy movie is performed by me , It will become a disaster. \"

Hugo still knows himself.

Hearing these words, Rick's originally tense mood relaxed a little, showing a bright smile. (To be continued).
