Chapter 1166 1166 The Power of Layout

Is Hugo's "Seven Deadly Sins" a blessing or a curse? There is no way anyone can cut it straight.

Although most people are generally optimistic about "Mission Impossible", and finally missed Hugo; but for Hugo to film "Seven Deadly Sins", at least from the perspective of balance of interests, there is no loss.

First of all, there is no loss of remuneration, and "Seven Deadly Sins" has also become Hugo's first work with a salary of tens of millions; secondly, "Mission Impossible" won the behind-the-scenes cast. The screenwriter and director are solid enough, but the cast of "The Seven Deadly Sins" However, it is slightly better. The confrontation between the three male actors is really exciting. In addition to "Stealing Fire", the cast of "Seven Deadly Sins" is the most anticipated in the near future.

Not to mention that the previous controversy about Hugo's pay has all disappeared.

Therefore, no one can cut it straight, and no one wants to cut it straight. No one will forget the living examples of "Pulp Fiction," "Life and Death," and "Sleepless in Seattle."

At least for now, it's a happy ending. The Creative Artists Agency chose "Mission Impossible" in line with its strength and scale, while the Endeavour Elite Agency started small and planned slowly.

Martin Baum is in the game. Although he is not Tom Cruise's agent, Brad Pitt has only touched a little fur on the edge of the storm, but he still clearly feels the impact from Endeavour Elite Agency. .

As an excellent agent, Martin is also accustomed to making accurate judgments based on the overall situation. After exchanging opinions with several senior partners such as Roland Parkin, they all agreed that they had fallen short in this game of chess. They were caught off guard by Rick Rosen and Ali Emmanuel—of course, a large part of the reason was that they underestimated the enemy.

After Rick and the others learned that Tom had reached a cooperation agreement with Paramount first, they did not panic, but tried their best to maximize the benefits within the limited time and space. What is even more terrifying is that perhaps this "interest" is not the result of a hasty compromise at all, but a premeditated goal that they began a long time ago.

Then the strength of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company will be re-evaluated again.

"Martin, should I be happy?" Brad's puzzled and puzzled voice pulled Martin back to reality from his thoughts.

Martin raised his head to look at Brad, who was standing by the window, his sunny and handsome face was full of confusion, and the excitement in his brows and eyes seemed to struggle. Brad has matured a lot over the past year, but he has experienced too little, and his ingenuity is very limited, so many problems can only be seen on the surface.

As for Brad, he is indeed puzzled. He beat Hugo to get the "Seven Deadly Sins" Mills corner, and Hugo also lost to Tom in the "Mission Impossible" competition, all of which was enough to make him ecstatic; but the problem is, rain Guo also joined the "Seven Deadly Sins". Although it is only a minor supporting role, Anonymous, but Hugo's salary is twice that of his male lead, which really saves his face. This is also a clear signal to all the crew: Compared with the male protagonist, Hugo is the core of the crew, which makes Brad uneasy.

Martin knows what Brad is thinking, and he prefers actors like Brad, and someone who is too smart like Hugo means it's not easy to control. Martin even speculated maliciously that maybe it was because of Hugo's strong personality that he insisted on playing the role of Anonymous in "The Seven Deadly Sins", so Rick was in a hurry and had to go around such a big circle to clean up the mess for Hugo, It also earned him 10 million in salary in the crew. This work, if any link goes wrong, will fall short, Martin expressed his condolences to Rick.

but……

Ten million! Martin couldn't help clenching his fist in his right hand. In the face of the competition, he lost almost no power to fight back. Brad's final salary was said to be five million, but in fact it was only four million, and one million must be filmed. You can only get it if the box office exceeds the cost of the movie. And Hugo not only got 10 million yuan, but also qualified for box office dividends. See you all.

"Brad, you should be happy, of course!" Martin suppressed his thoughts, and he couldn't see any worry on his face. The confident smile and joy calmed Brad's chaotic mood a little, "You are a movie now. This is a big difference from 'Interview with the Vampire'."

Brad, of course, knew what Martin meant. In "Interview with the Vampire," he and Tom were tied for the lead actor's seat, and now Hugo is supporting him in "The Seven Deadly Sins." This is a big improvement, especially stepping on Hugo's shoulders to perform works, sweeping away the bad situation that Hugo has repeatedly suppressed in the past three years, which is almost what Brad dreamed of.

Thinking of this, Brad's mood gradually became clearer, the confusion and worry between his brows dissipated little by little, revealing the original joy and excitement.

"Now you don't pay attention to the nonsense of the media, you should focus on your role - you are the male lead, and then focus on your own performance, so that everyone knows clearly that acting is not measured by pay. ." Martin said in a firm tone, in fact, to make Brad forget about the difference in pay, and speak with strength.

But Martin forgot that the person who this sentence really applies to should be Hugo. Now everyone in Hollywood clearly knows that guaranteed remuneration has never been a measure of Hugo's worth. Or, Martin didn't forget, he just wanted Brad to forget.

The smile on Brad's face subsided slightly, and his eyes shone with a firm light, "Don't worry, I know! I will let everyone know that my acting is more worthy of attention than my appearance!" Martin succeeded. "Martin, you know how long I've been waiting for this day, I want to beat Hugo, there's no better chance than this time, I'll leave everyone speechless!"

Not only will he let people see that his acting prowess is never touted, but he also wants to let everyone know that his prowess is no less than Hugo's. In order to wait for this day, Brad has been working hard since "farewell to the sentient beings", and has been working hard to learn acting and polishing his acting skills, hoping that one day he will be able to impress everyone.

The success of "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Burning Years" still kept him in the whirlpool of controversy. Compared with his acting skills, his appearance was the focus of more discussion, which made him abruptly feel more than rain. The fruit is a little shorter. Why do everyone praise Hugo for his appearance and acting skills, but think that his acting skills are overrated?

This time, he will make all the controversy disappear, and he will impress everyone with his solid performance. As long as he thinks of his rivalry with Hugo in "The Seven Deadly Sins", he can't hold back the boiling and excitement in his heart. Not only does he want to be on par with Hugo, he even begins to outline his acting skills in his mind. The scene where the pressure is on Hugo's head!

In a trance, Brad feels that he has stood on the top of success, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" and Hugo are his best stepping stones. The raging wind and infinite beauty of the peak have made Brad's adrenaline in his body. Start running.

Brad clenched his teeth tightly, and there was a lot of pride in his chest. Is there any situation that can be more direct and clearer than the competition in the same field? No. Compared to the previous time when people used different works to compare the acting strength of Brad and Hugo, the "Seven Deadly Sins" this time is the same platform, and the performance strength and performance effect of Hugo and Brad will be clearly presented. In front of everyone, at that time, justice will be free in the hearts of the people!

"Hugo, I'm ready!" Brad's muscles tightened, looking ready to go. He can't wait to prove himself and beat Hugo!

Martin looked at Brad, who had swept away the haze in front of him, and he was relieved. He needed Brad to be high-spirited. Not to mention whether the acting skills can suppress Hugo, but at least there should be self-confidence, so that such a confrontation can spark, right? What's more, film critics are iron-toothed, but the news media reports are not. As an agent, he still has a lot to do. As long as Brad is strong enough, he has room to operate.

"Seven Deadly Sins", not only Brad, but even Martin began to look forward to it. It's just that Martin isn't just looking forward to the showdown between Brad and Hugo, but the entire movie - why the "Seven Deadly Sins"? Why did Hugo choose this movie alone?

Martin suddenly remembered the first time he saw Hugo when he was in "The Sea of ​​Righteousness", and he expressed his appreciation to Hugo. And everything now proves his vision. Although Hugo is destined to be impossible to be his artist, Martin is still a little curious about what height Hugo can reach. And what about Brad? Martin didn't think he was worse than Rick.

Hugo attacked again after "Before the Sunrise" and chose "Seven Deadly Sins". To put it in a more general direction, this is Hugo's cooperation with big companies again after "Life and Death" and chose Paramount. This is absolutely It is a focal point worthy of everyone's attention. Not to mention that the incident was so lively.

Not only the media, not only the creative art agency, not only the international innovation management company, but even Hugo himself is at a loss.

Although "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins" were both chosen by Hugo, he did not expect that the development of things would exceed expectations. As a result, Joseph, Rick, Ali and others actually joined forces to turn the world upside down, and finally let the world turn upside down. Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company was first revealed, showing a solid foundation and skills, making people realize that, in addition to several stars such as Hugo, Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, etc., the strength of this brokerage company Still not to be underestimated.

"What the hell is going on? How did things develop to... uh, so out of control?" Hugo was also full of question marks.
