Superstar
Chapter 944: Visionary Wisdom
\"&
The James Bond audition was much simpler than expected. In fact, everyone didn't mention it accurately. 007" related vocabulary, everything is a moment of confrontation, people who don't understand the truth think this is just a simple polite statement.
This is not surprising, because Hugo is now the capital to choose the script and has the qualifications to reject the script, even James Bond. However, this kind of shadowless confrontation also preserved everyone's face as much as possible, leaving room for future cooperation. Therefore, as soon as Steven took the initiative to change the topic, everyone gathered their attention almost without any accident, as if they were discussing the topic.
George Lucas raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hugo in surprise, "Are you also trying to write a script?"
Steven has always paid more attention to the identity of director and producer. Although he will also act as a guest screenwriter, but the number of times is very small. The most famous work is ...of.the..; but George does not. Similarly, compared to the position of director, he spends more time studying technology and writing scripts. You can see his name in the screenwriters of the "Star Wars" series and the "Indiana Jones" series.
Therefore, it is not surprising that George's reaction was obviously stronger than Steven's.
"If I said that I just wrote it for fun, I might be less shy." Hugo said with a smile, but did not deny it. To be honest, he really lacks confidence in the role of screenwriter. After all, this is not a project he has studied for many years. It can be said that he is a layman, even if he has four years of university knowledge, it is not enough.
George looked at Hugo more with interest, "In many cases, interest is the best enlightenment." The most important thing is that George will not forget that when Hugo was revealed that he could sing, almost everyone did not. Believe in Hugo's ability, but now glory to death has proved their absolute strength. Therefore, George's sight is a little more inquiring, "So...what type of script are you writing now?"
"I'm trying to write a, uh...it's a one-act play, with only two main actors walking slowly in the city, and then having a conversation. You know, it's a very experimental kind of work, you can imagine a low-cost stage play , You can describe my script." Hugo briefly explained, and then he didn't forget to tease himself.
"This is not worthy of a surprise." George raised his left hand with champagne and swayed it slightly, as if to say: Whether it is the choice of music or film, Hugo has always had a clear idea and will not compromise with business. But he does not worship art. This subtle scale has always been an eternal subject of Hollywood, but for now, Hugo has a good grasp of it. "Listening to you, I am a little interested in your script. I don't know if you are willing to believe it with me."
"George, you care about Hugo's script so much, can I understand that you want to invest?" David Geffen made a sudden word next to him, but he brought some jokes and some risks: Rain Guo and George only met for five minutes, and the two were not familiar with each other. If George had the intention to make things difficult for Hugo, David's words would obviously be a pitfall.
But fortunately, George took a look at Steven, pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Although I can't spend 100 million dollars, it is no problem to find tens of millions of sponsorships. I just don't know about this Hugo. How much does the experimental script cost?"
George is obviously joking. If it is really an experimental script, then an investment of several million is likely to be enough, and even less than three million is not uncommon. Such a sum of money can be directly taken out by several bigwigs present, and there is no need to worry too much, including Hugo.
"This is terrible news, George, are you trying to make me and Michael unemployed?" Barbara interjected without losing the opportunity to turn everyone's attention to her again, "I am a production that relies on the development of new works. People now feel a huge crisis." Barbara had a hint of challenge. The funny and coquettish tone was very flattering and made everyone laugh. Then Barbara looked at Hugo, "Young Hugo, don't you think so?"
In fact, Barbara is implying that if Hugo wants to invest in new works, she should at least look for her to cooperate-or MGM with whom she has a long-term relationship.
Although this was just a two-sentence back and forth, it can be clearly felt that everyone is happy to see how Hugo wrote the script. Not to mention whether this is a courtesy on social occasions, but the mystery can also be seen.
In Hollywood’s power list, the real power of life and death is always the producer. There are too few things that actors can control. Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, George One Clooney and so on. After these people entered the 21st century, after the influence of actors gradually expanded, they gradually began to work part-time behind the scenes, including George Clooney, who has good and bad director ability. The responsibility of the producer, investment, development, and power, this is an inevitable path.
Of course, there are also people who have been actors all their lives, and will always be actors, such as Catherine Hepburn. But if you want to stand at the top in Hollywood and move from an actor position to a producer position, this is the only way to go.
Hugo's career is in full swing. His current highest salary is still 6 million, but there are countless production companies willing to wave a check for 15 million U.S. dollars to summon him to his banner. Now, as long as Hugo nodded and agreed to release Dian's work , The attention is bound to rise exponentially. Against this background, Hugo began to get involved in the screenwriting industry, regardless of whether he was intentional or unintentional, but at least in the eyes of people like Steven, this is a very wise choice. This visionary wisdom is not any actor. Can have.
Therefore, whether it is Steven, David, or George, including Barbara, the eyes given to Hugo are encouraging. It can be seen that they support Hugo's transformation, and it also means that they are optimistic about Hugo. The future.
"Can I get overwhelmed? The script I wrote has been affirmed by so many people. This is really flattering for me." Hugo did not answer Barbara's question directly, but deliberately showed a smug expression and blacked himself. A handful.
In fact, Hugo knows very well that even if it is Tom Cruise or Arnold Schwarzenegger, if they write a script, they can only be regarded as anonymous, but they have more ways to let the producer see the script. As a result, producers still have to judge by the quality of the script-no one is a fool and will invest in a bad script. Therefore, even if Hugo begins to write the script, he is bound to start from scratch. The pursuit of these people is just polite in social occasions. It is more symbolic and has no real benefits.
Hugo's answer made everyone very satisfied, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
As the three giants of George, David and Steven gathered here, it was obviously like a spotlight, attracting countless moths. Rick Rosen and Ali Emmanuel also took advantage of Hugo’s presence. The opportunity quickly approached. It was the first time that they showed themselves in front of Hollywood's top giants as the top executives of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. Unfortunately, today MGM executives obviously did not come here to avoid suspicion, but Barbara The agent is here, and the effect is the same.
In addition, Hugo knew a bunch of people, which embarrassed Hugo. He is a face blind patient and he is not very good at remembering names. He saw waves after waves, and he didn't even know what was in front of him. What industry does the person belong to, and he was still there trying to figure out which trade union’s Los Angeles area leader was. That person had already left, and then Steven introduced him to the next one.
In desperation, Hugo could only keep smiling, calling each other "Mr." all the time, and then follow everyone's topics to make do with the past, but it was all right.
Finally, when Barbara and George walked over to another actor, Steven and David left with Hugo, but Steven did not let Hugo go, but asked seriously again. Regarding the creation of Hugo's script, Hugo's brain was already a little tired at this time, and he was relatively relaxed in front of Steven, so he said, "Why, are you really interested in this script?"
"Why not?" Steven raised his eyebrows with a chuckle, then glanced at David, David also laughed, and then Steven said, "Me and David, there is another one The old man is raising an independent studio for each, and we will also collect scripts and make movies, so if you have a script, of course we would like to see it."
DreamWorks!
Hugo's spirits were shocked in an instant, but he was not too excited to reveal the secret ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but happily said, "Is this true? That's great news. But that's great news. , I don’t think the script can make money, Steven, I just said this is an experimental script, I’m serious."
The experimental script, to put it bluntly, is actually like an experiment in science. It is a happy event to succeed one out of a hundred, and the rest must be broken. So the biggest problem for these scientists every year is to find sponsorship to support their research.
It's the same with movies. If you invest a few million in, maybe you don't even have a drift, and there are definitely a lot of them.
Steven doesn’t think Hugo is joking, but he doesn’t mind, "You said, this is an experimental script. In that case, you shouldn’t think that our studio is just a small company just established. Right." Steven and David have been optimistic about Hugo for a long time, but now Hugo really did not let them down, and began to get involved in the field of screenwriting. This is naturally the result they are most looking forward to seeing.
Hugo raised his eyebrows. This is a good thing for me, you know, sponsorship is never easy. What's more, I just show you the script, I just hope you won't be too disappointed.
