Superstar

\"&　　 Hugo originally thought that this is a very difficult thing, ""No company would be willing to invest money in this script. It is not Hugo who is arrogant, but the fact.

Before crossing, the ""seeking investment" journey was long and long, and after the work was completed, the screening process was extremely difficult. Except for the art theaters, almost no theaters were willing to play this movie, even in the art theaters. The number of screens played was also pitiful, and as a result, it was screened intermittently for four weeks "before sunrise", and it went offline hastily.

From here, we can see the difficult journey of the film's appearance in North America.

Later, I still benefited from the old tradition. After the movie was released, although the time was limited and the theater line was limited, it still achieved a box office score of 5 million U.S. dollars. After entering the video tape market, it gradually received the recognition it deserves. The appearance of the sequel also made this classic.

Therefore, from an objective point of view, ""No matter which company or producer, it is estimated that it will be difficult to give birth. Even if the screenwriter is Hugo, it will not change much." The production company wanted to use Hugo to make money, but it didn't want to help Hugo realize the "virtual and unreliable" screenwriting talent.

Of course, if you only invest 2.5 million US dollars, maybe the production company will consider it, for example, they invest in "", and then in exchange, Hugo will appear in one of their works; for example, "before sunrise" Leave it to them to produce, but in contrast, Hugo has to lower the pay for appearing in a certain work...

Regardless, Hugo has always believed that ""finding investors is definitely not something that can be achieved in a day or two."

Therefore, when he agreed so simply and neatly, Hugo's first reaction was naturally an accident plus an accident.

In fact, David was able to nod his head. This is also a question of the right time and place.

On the one hand, DreamWorks is currently preparing, and maybe "" can become one of the first batch of works invested and produced by DreamWorks. Originally, DreamWorks was under the name of a factory. In the early stage, compared to making money, Building up a reputation is the most important thing. Choosing Hugo and choosing "Before Sunrise" can be said to be profitable and harmless.

On the other hand, it is the reason. David has always admired Hugo and missed "". He didn't expect the cooperation opportunity to come so soon. What's more, David also admired the idea of ​​"". He was able to nod. That is a matter of course.

Most importantly, only 2.5 million yuan was invested.

David has an account in his heart. "After that, Hugo's salary has reached 15 million U.S. dollars. Not long ago, there were even rumors that he would spend 20 million U.S. dollars for Hugo to play "Future Water World". . Twenty million, this is a number that breaks the entire Hollywood remuneration structure. Although it is only a rumor and cannot be done accurately, it can still be seen that Hugo is worth in Hollywood now.

But Hugo chose to ignore those movies and focus on "". David can see that Hugo attaches great importance to this script, 2.5 million in exchange for Hugo’s first screenwriter, and Hugo’s goodwill and friendship can also be added-from Hugo's handling of the agent's affairs. It can be seen that Hugo's friendship is worth a thousand dollars. David is almost happy with such a cheap deal.

On the whole, Hugo chose David, which is the most important part. As a result, "" found investors and a big-name producer-David promised that he would personally be the producer of the film.

The whole process went smoothly unexpectedly, but from now on, it can be seen that now with the prosperous career coupled with the gradually expanding contacts, Hugo is indeed on track in Hollywood.

When I got home, it was not even ten o'clock. It was too early.

Joseph, Rick, and Henry are still discussing how the company should use the meeting between Hugo and David tonight to gain more initiative. Charlize, Alex and Carl will participate in a "Vanity Fair" for the upcoming For the pre-heated dinner of New York Fashion Week, Fokkin estimated that he and the band members were still in the bar. Therefore, when Hugo arrived home, he saw that the third and fourth floors were all blackened, but Ernst’s lamp on the second floor was still there. Still lit.

Looking at the dim light on the second floor, Hugo couldn't help but sigh. Usually at this time, Ernst has generally rested, but not today. Obviously, he is waiting for news of his return.

In fact, after meeting with David, Hugo took the initiative to invite Ernst to go with him. Although the script was written by Hugo, Ernst’s contribution will never be less, and Hugo also knows that Ernst has always been a screenwriter. There are regrets and obsessions in life. Unexpectedly, Ernst refused, and sharply condemned Hugo, still looking very angry. but now……

Hugo stood downstairs, thinking in his mind, maybe Ernst was too stubborn, maybe Ernst was still taking care of his own face, maybe it was not what Ernst wanted to return to Hollywood in this way. Perhaps Ernst also knew that this is not his time...The more so, the more Hugo feels sad, because Hollywood has never given this great screenwriter a real recognition.

Hugo decided that he would go to the second floor and talk to Ernst about tonight, but it is estimated that Ernst must be duplicity. On the one hand, he blamed him for eating and doing nothing, but on the other hand, he expected him to talk more. . Thinking of this, Hugo's mouth curled up with a smile, and the stubborn old man was like a child.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and he leaped directly at Hugo. This shocked Hugo, and subconsciously waved his fist. As a result, people had not had time to pounce on Hugo. , He took a solid punch. He stepped back several steps, shouting pain in his mouth, and quickly explained, "Hugo, Hugo, I am not a bad person, I am a screenwriter, a screenwriter! I am There is a script I want you to see!"

Hugo frowned and looked forward. Through the sparse moonlight, he could clearly see the incoming person, but obviously, this was an unfamiliar face, and he absolutely didn't recognize it. Hugo did not relax his vigilance, still clenched his fists, and looked at each other alertly. After experiencing the Houston incident, Hugo also realized that he is now a public figure and never knows what unexpected circumstances will occur, so he must be more careful.

The other party finally calmed down, stood up, panting heavily, and took two steps forward, revealing the whole person under the moonlight. In front of him was a thin, tall, middle-aged man, with his hair neatly combed and a twenty-eight-open, a suit and attire. Although he could not see the tailoring and fabric clearly in the dark, he looked very formal as a whole. , Obviously carefully prepared. He is indeed holding a thick script in his hand.

"Hugo, hey, hey, take it easy, I really didn't have any bad intentions, I was rash, sorry." The man quickly explained, and at the same time smiled, trying to use humor to ease the atmosphere, but the effect was mediocre. , This made him a little embarrassed. He touched his hair nervously, making it more fit, as if he was afraid that his hair would be messy and humiliating. "I have been waiting here for three days. I finally waited for you, so I was a little anxious. I think you can understand."

Hugo was a little bit unaware of each other. The man was eager and reckless at first, then he calmed down and tried to maintain his gentlemanly style-these two behaviors were somewhat contradictory, and he wanted to express his humor and calmness after speaking. It’s a pity that this type of joke is placed between strangers—especially between strangers who have just had a little accident or misunderstanding. It seems a little inappropriate, but it makes the other person look a little arrogant.

But Hugo is not an aggressive type, so he nodded politely, "It's okay, I'm okay." Then he sincerely expressed his apologies, "I'm sorry I did it in advance, I'm sorry."

"Your hand strength is really good." The man touched his cheek, still teasing in a relaxed tone. After speaking, he ignored Hugo's reaction and patted his forehead. "Sorry, I haven’t introduced myself yet, my name is Douglas Hessla (. Hessla), a screenwriter."

Hugo said politely, "It's nice to meet you", but he has no plans to continue socializing here. The other party is a stranger who suddenly sprang up. He doesn't think there can be a conversation between two people. But Hugo only took a step. Before he could say his farewell words, the other party directly blocked Hugo’s path, and quickly said, "I have a script in my hand. Well, it’s not inferior. If you can act in this script, it will definitely be a huge breakthrough~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hugo understands at this time, it turns out that this screenwriter named Douglas wants to go his own way. , Looking for someone who invested in the script, this reminded Hugo of his own experience tonight, and could not help but feel a little funny. However, now Douglas is a seller's market, and he is the buyer's market, but why Douglas's tone is rather condescending It means, it's like saying: It's your honor to be able to play this script.

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Hugo still shook his head politely. He did not plan to accept other scripts in the near future.

But Douglas persevered-this is known since he has been waiting here for three days. For the past three days, Glory has been busy with propaganda until he died. He did not come back for two nights. Last night, it was only three o'clock in the morning today. Home.

Douglas once again stopped Hugo from moving to the side, "Believe me, you will definitely be shocked by this script. This is a magnificent script that integrates times, technology, history, nature, humans, etc., the role of The breakthrough is unprecedented! You will be overwhelmed by this script!"
