Chapter 1328 1328 Fox Project

Hugo has also been rolling around in Hollywood for a few years. At this time, he is no longer the young man who was so excited because he got the opportunity to audition for "Yi Hai Xiong Feng". He not only realized that Hollywood is a huge network of people , and also know that many opportunities and coincidences in this circle are inevitable by chance.

Hugo couldn't help recalling 20th Century Fox's decision between the previous plan, "Away from Las Vegas" and "Death Ramble", which led to a series of chain reactions, among which 20th Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Brokers made a decision. The cooperation between the company and DreamWorks is the most obvious, but this is a strategic cooperation between the company and the company, and Hugo as an actor can only be regarded as a part of it.

But Hugo would not forget that at that time, 20th Century Fox had a big project in hand, and Hugo also got a positive answer from Sergio Mimica Gozan. Hugo originally thought that the so-called big project was Wu. Yu. Mori directed "Broken Arrow", but this project has never been in contact with Hugo from beginning to end, and then this rumored big project disappeared. No one mentioned it again.

Today, when I met Kevin again, this incident came to Hugo's mind again. But Hugo can't be sure, because today's encounter in the "Love is the Only" crew is completely unexpected. Only Joseph knows about Hugo's return to visit the class, so Kevin's appearance is completely a chance encounter. Hugo felt that maybe he was thinking too much.

Kevin looked at Hugo who was coping calmly in front of him, and could not help but secretly relax his mood, not too urgent or too earnest, because he knew very well that Hugo, who seemed to be a gentle and gentleman in front of him, was definitely a tough guy.

20th Century Fox is indeed carrying out a big plan, a big plan that has been brewing since Kevin took office. Hugo was originally a part of the plan, but the strategic position is not that important, even if it is a huge victory of "speed of life" After that, Kevin's emphasis on Hugo did not reach a strategic height. In 20th Century Fox's plan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts , Sean Connery is the central figure.

But the subsequent "Pulp Fiction" and "Before Sunrise" multiplied Hugo's worth and peaked when Michael Jackson joined Endeavour Elite. Everyone knows that Hugo is a gold mine, but Twentieth Century Fox realizes that Endeavour Elite is also a gold rush.

But how much effort is it worth investing in Endeavour Elite Brokerage? This is a difficult problem. Although the endeavour elite brokerage company has been on the rise in the past year, the number of their artists is really limited, and they mainly rely on the top group of people to drive the project, not to mention the three big brokerage companies that dominate Hollywood today. In comparison, even compared with the United Elite Brokerage Company, there are still advantages and disadvantages to each other.

What 20th Century Fox noticed, the folks at the other major studios must have noticed too, but everyone came to different conclusions when it came to measuring value.

From the current situation, it can be seen that the major film companies are indeed promoting the cooperation with Endeavour Elite Agency, but their goals are still locked on top artists such as Hugo and Tom Hanks. There are almost no cases of package cooperation and project cooperation similar to the innovative artist agency. Except for the fledgling DreamWorks.

All film companies—whether it is a big eight film producer or a small independent producer, everyone knows that Hugo is excellent, everyone knows that Hugo is not only affordable but also has excellent acting skills. Everyone knows that Hugo’s box office appeal is unrivaled in the world. But the problem is: there is only one Hugo, and Hugo's vision for selecting works is completely unpredictable, which also causes headaches for various film companies.

So Paramount Pictures chose Tom Cruise to cooperate in "Mission Impossible", so MGM chose Pierce Brosnan to play the new 007.

However, Kevin noticed one thing. Hugo is very affectionate. Friendship, love, and family are all like this.

Hugo has maintained a good friendship with Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and early cooperation objects including Kevin Bacon and Barry Levinson are still maintained After the end of "Schindler's List", Hugo and Steven Spielberg became close friends, so that DreamWorks and Endeavour Elite Agency maintained a good strategic cooperation, "Before Sunrise "And "Death Ramble" is the product of their cooperation; the works of Leonardo DiCaprio, Alexander Lorraine and others, Hugo is very willing to support, even willing to take the initiative to stand for them; in the face of " Tim Robbins' friendship offensive is undoubtedly decisive when it comes to the choice between "Death Row" and "Away from Las Vegas"...

Although it is said that Hugo's selection of works is very picky, it can even be said to be weird; but friendship is undoubtedly a very important weight, which is also Kevin persuaded Mike Figgis to go to the furniture store to talk to Hugo in person, And the reason for convincing Sergio to be a lobbyist.

It was only at this point that Hugo really rose to the strategic position of 20th Century Fox's huge plan, because Kevin realized that he could not only strengthen the cooperation with Endeavour Elite Agency, but also save the country through the curve, and maybe make the Hugo and Twentieth Century Fox launch more collaborations!

Endeavour Elite Agency also has many places worth exploring. "Love is the only" selected Cameron, and the project "Unstoppable Miracle" conceived by Tom Hanks also has 20th Century Fox. On the "Romeo and Juliet" project on the agenda, Kevin also locked Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron...

In 20th Century Fox's huge plan for the next year -- or even two years, Hugo, Endeavour Elite Agency, and DreamWorks have all become an important part of the strategic plan.

Even aside from Hugo, these cooperations are more beneficial than detrimental to 20th Century Fox; of course, the most important thing is of course, Hugo, whose business value is now the highest in the world.

After missing "Away from Las Vegas", Kevin knew that he needed to plan more carefully, otherwise he would hand over the script to Rick Rosen like other film companies and wait for Hugo to choose his own satisfactory works, which would be too passive Yes, he needs to strike out—but definitely not blindly.

Kevin came to the cast of "Love is the Only" today, he lied, he came here specially for Hugo. After Cameron joined the cast of "Love Is The Only", Kevin told the two assistant directors to call Hugo as soon as he showed up. It's like a gamble on Kevin's knowledge of Hugo, and the chips are one step closer to the plan. Sure enough, Kevin got it right.

As for Alan, he is not only a smoke bomb, but also a good friend of Kevin.

"So, Hugo, what kind of movies are you interested in?" While Kevin was adjusting his mentality, Alan actively took up the topic, keeping the atmosphere relaxed and leaving Hugo with no more time. to think.

"Comedy." Hugo said directly without being polite or hesitating. But after he finished speaking, he glanced at Kevin subconsciously, but he didn't find any flaws in Kevin. Kevin was still focused at will, which made Hugo chuckle a little in his heart, it should be because he thought too much .

"This is an unexpected answer." Allen's brows were completely stretched, and he looked at Hugo in surprise, "You and comedy? It doesn't seem to fit well, right? Are you referring to the cold-faced comedian type? "

In fact, there are not many handsome guys who have participated in comedy, such as James Franco, such as Zac. Efron, who was later transformed, but due to the limitation of handsome appearance, the comedy effect is always limited.

"That's what I'm good at, isn't it?" Hugo shrugged and said frankly when he saw Alan's surprise.

Allen couldn't help being stunned for a while, carefully looking at the look between Hugo's eyebrows, and then he realized: Hugo is good at breaking people's fixed impressions! This is also the most valuable thing about Hugo. Allen looked at Hugo with a calm face, and immediately understood the humor contained in Hugo's words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth fully bloomed.

"It seems that you haven't been very interested in big-budget movies." Kevin said jokingly, feeling the suspicious gaze from Hugo, Kevin explained with a smile, "Sorry, occupational disease, I always It's always amazing to remember that the biggest investment you've ever made on a movie was only $30 million."

Kevin's answer was still flawless, without any flaws. As the CEO of 20th Century Fox, the internal skills and composure of this kind of secret game are definitely required courses. Obviously, Kevin has taken this course very well.

Hugo buried the strangeness in his heart and laughed dumbly, "No, that's not the case. I didn't intend to avoid big productions." Hugo waved his hands again and again. In fact, this was also a misunderstanding of him by major production companies, including Ke also thought so before, but after he really understood, he knew that Hugo had never deliberately asked for the production cost, whether it was large-scale or small. In terms of special effects, this is a wrong concept. The story is still the most important. After all, we are not as simple as watching explosions. Just like 'Terminator 2', 'True Lies', including 'Life and Death', such stories are all It's fascinating. I think it's reasonable to spend a super high investment to make great special effects to complement the story if necessary."

Kevin nodded earnestly. In fact, Hugo said this point before, but it didn't get universal attention. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively, "So what do you think of the 'future water world'?"
