Chapter 1190 1190 Company Trivia

Leonardo came to visit the class, and David Fincher came over to have a talk with great respect. Only then did Hugo learn that David had considered using Leonardo as the male protagonist when he got the script in the early stage. Yes, but before he could finish reading the script, Leonardo was out, and Denzel Washington was New Line's first choice.

This makes Hugo and Leonardo very novel. People always say that Hollywood is a big complex circle. There are not 10,000 or 8,000 actors, but in fact, after turning around and going around, they found some familiar faces.

Later, Andrew and Morgan also gathered around and joined their conversation. Brad and Gwyneth, who had been staying in the corner, seemed a little out of tune.

Seeing that Leonardo and the others were having a good chat, Hugo stepped aside, asked for a mobile phone from Joseph, and dialed Rick's number directly. It wasn't Rick who answered the phone, but his assistant Jim Snow.

Jim is also an old servant of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. He was Rick's assistant when he entered the industry, and then left International Innovation Management Company with Rick to join the ranks of entrepreneurship. So Jim and Hugo are relatively familiar. He has a deep understanding of the importance of Hugo. At the same time, they are friends with each other, and they can talk more easily.

"What's the matter? The reporter went to the crew to harass you again today?" Jim joked casually after realizing it was Hugo.

Although the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew is no longer the focus of attention recently, the big-name turmoil about Hugo has not been completely calmed down - because Hugo is still refusing media interviews, and now the media has naturally noticed something wrong, but Hugo is the At home and the crew at two o’clock and one line, and when they go out, they are completely covered up, leaving too little space for the paparazzi. In desperation, the media can only flock to the crew every now and then, trying to give the new line of film company. pressure to achieve the goal.

Hugo chuckled lightly, "Even if the reporters do come, you can't drive them all away, so you might as well just let them stay outside, anyway, the weather in Los Angeles has started to get hot recently."

Hugo's black-bellied thought made Jim laugh out loud, but Jim also knew that the greeting couldn't be too long, and Hugo was definitely not calling to chat, "Rick is busy now, do you have any urgent business for him?"

"It's not urgent," Hugo shook his head. He was actually worried about his forgetfulness. Recently, because of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the whole person seemed to be a little loose. Last night, when I ate with Cameron, I almost ate the whole plate of spaghetti. It was all overturned, and about the agent, it is not appropriate for the manager Joseph to talk about it. It is still necessary for Hugo to greet him in person, so he called the first time, "It's just that I have a friend. , he wants to come to our company, and I ask Rick what plans he has."

"Friends?" Jim became curious. The friends Hugo knew at this level were not trivial people. "Is it an ordinary person who wants to enter the industry, or a star who wants to change agents?" Whether it's the former or the latter, Hugo can make a phone call in person. , this is not an easy task.

"Leonardo DiCaprio." Hugo didn't sell anything, he said simply.

Jim laughed immediately, unexpectedly and reasonably.

The accident is because Leonardo is currently a rising star. Although Leonardo is not yet a big hit, most of the movies he shoots are also very niche. The only one that has won the box office is The "speed of life and death" of the friendship cameo, but in fact, many people in the circle are very optimistic about Leonardo's future, and the market has been bullish. Many people think that he has the strength and conditions to become Tom Cruise, Brah Actors of the level of Germany and Hugo.

Therefore, actors like Leonardo have always been a sought-after figure among agents, and no one wants to miss out on a small investment in exchange for a big return. I didn't expect Leonardo to give up such strong support as Creative Artists Agency or International Innovation Management Company, and choose Endeavour Elite Agency, which can only be barely called a medium-sized agency.

But as long as you think about the friendship between Leonardo and Hugo, everything is not so unexpected.

"Oh, I heard about that." Jim reacted immediately. As an insider, he naturally knows a lot about the agent's dynamics. What he is talking about here is Leonardo's dismissal of the agent. , "The guy looked very dissatisfied, and said that Leonardo was just self-destructing like this, maybe he will be the next Macaulay Culkin."

"Is this a hit?" Hugo's words made Jim laugh out loud. First, Leonardo hasn't reached the height of Macaulay's "Home Alone", and secondly, Macaulay is not completely out of breath. , so this analogy is really not appropriate.

"I'll tell Rick later, let him contact Leonardo directly, is that ok? Or do I want to contact you?" Jim made a note on the notepad in front of him. For the Endeavour Elite brokerage company, Leonardo's joining can definitely become an important weight.

"Contact him directly, do you have Leo's contact information?" Hugo looked back at Leonardo, who was having a good conversation with Andrew, and said.

"Of course, you forgot what we were doing." Jim teased with a chuckle, which made Hugo also smirk. The agent is very powerful, and it is not difficult at all to inquire about an actor's contact information. The easiest way is to contact the Screen Actors Guild. "Oh, by the way, do you know who Rick is seeing right now?"

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. In fact, there are more or less gossips in the circle, especially the assistants of the agent and the assistants of the makeup artist. Today's Jim is like this. The former assistant of Ron Meyer, Gary- So does Scott. "Why, Grant's subjects plan to enter the entertainment industry?"

Hugo is talking about one of the hottest topics in the circle recently. Hugh Grant, who won the title of British lover because of "four weddings and a funeral", was arrested by Los Angeles police just two days ago. His trick. The prostitution was caught on the spot, causing an uproar. Hugh Grant has confessed, but his public image has been greatly affected - he eats as a gentleman and gentle hero in romantic movies.

The "objects" that Hugo mentioned were Hugo's tricks. prostitute object.

Jim laughed, "No, they don't need our help." Jim also joined in the fun and joked, "The person who came today is related to you..." Jim said meaningfully, wanting to hang Hugo The appetite for gossip is so exciting, but Hugo didn't buy it, he didn't cooperate, and Jim didn't give up.

No names came to Hugo's mind at all, and he had to interrupt Jim with a smile, "Jim, my memory of names is almost zero, so even if I have an idea, I can't answer it." Jim still didn't answer. Knowing too well the extent of Hugo's face blindness, his intention to create gossip suspense today is doomed to fail.

"Boring..." Jim complained for a long time, his interest in talking about gossip was reduced a lot, but he regained his energy and said with a raised voice, "It's Joanna Rowling, from Edinburgh. of."

Hugo didn't have much hope at first, but when he heard Jim's words, his eyes opened suddenly, he really didn't expect J. K. Rowling finally contacted Endeavour Elite Agency. At this time, half a year had passed since Hugo met Joanna in Edinburgh, and Joanna had never heard from her. Hugo thought he had just missed her.

When Hugo accidentally thought of this before, he was very embarrassed, embarrassed that he had not been able to be more convincing, and embarrassed that Joanna had not been given a more relaxed and comfortable creative environment. But the surprise came suddenly.

"Hey, she's here!" Hugo blurted out in a surprised voice.

Only then did Jim have a sense of accomplishment in talking about gossip, and he confirmed it triumphantly, "Yes, she called the office the day before yesterday and said she wanted to ask for some help. Rick booked her a ticket and asked her to fly over. Interview in Los Angeles, she arrived at the hotel last night and came to the company today."

In fact, Jim didn't know much about the situation, he just knew that Joanna was introduced by Hugo, and the reason why Rick was willing to spend a lot of money to interview Joanna was because of Hugo's face-you must know that the current status of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company In this case, they don't have so much thought and energy to invest in a down-and-out writer in Edinburgh.

Therefore, at this time, Jim's opening is also to test Hugo's meaning. "Hugo, is she really... talented? How did you find her?"

The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth could not help but outline, "She is indeed very talented and full of incredible ideas. Believe me, she is a very good author. What she lacks is just a little chance."

"Then do you want to come over and see her?" Jim asked tentatively, taking it for granted that there was a relationship between Hugo and Joanna. rhyme. It depends on Hugo's answer.

Hugo shrugged, "Look at the chance, I've been so busy in the production these two days, I don't know what Rick's arrangement is, I'll ask Joe to ask." Hugo didn't think much, and was very calm, And eager to try, "I really hope Rick's conversation with her goes well."

Hugo really wanted to help Joanna to complete the "Harry Potter" series. This novel brought a lot of fun to Hugo's bumpy and displaced life. Although he had some criticisms about the adaptation of the film, he was not interested in the original work. The love of novels has never changed.

While Hugo and Jim were talking here, Joanna was also uneasy sitting in front of Rick. She looked at Rick with some timidity and some hesitation. She moved her body cautiously, but did not dare to make too much movement. , lest his indecent actions would ruin the opportunity in front of him.
