Chapter 1347 1347 Each Has a Plan

It can be said that Kevin Pence and Rick Rosen have their own plans.

Kevin has been in charge of 20th Century Fox for less than a year, and his plans for the company's next steps are clearly ambitious.

Kevin's plans for Twentieth Century Fox are obviously company secrets, but it is certain that he has included Endeavour Elite and DreamWorks in the development plan, so, leaving aside the Hugo factor, Twentieth Century The cooperation between Fox and Endeavour Elite was originally planned by Kevin. Even if he can't reach a cooperation with Hugo, in the long run, Kevin has placed his bet on Endeavour Elite Agency.

Of course, reaching a cooperation with Hugo is also a part of Kevin's plan, and it is a very important part. On the one hand, it will further promote their cooperative relationship with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company; on the other hand, it will be a salary of 20 million yuan. The plan is that if 20th Century Fox can successfully break the existing shackles and win Hugo's first $20 million work, whether this work is successful or not, it will be recorded in the annals of history - of course, from a businessman's standpoint That said, it's better to be successful.

There are many reasons for choosing this work directed by Roland Emmerich. One is that the subject matter of this work is really worth making a fuss about, and it is the most typical Hollywood commercial film; The original planned cost of the work was only $70 million. In other words, there was enough room for Kevin to execute the "$20 million" remuneration plan. If you change a work that costs more than $100 million , it is estimated that Kevin himself must re-estimate the risk.

There is another important reason. Hugo first filmed "Seven Deadly Sins" and then filmed "Death Ramble", and then took a break for a while because of the aftermath of filming. Kevin originally had many alternate projects in his hands. All of them were eliminated due to time constraints Now, among the remaining projects, this work is the most suitable. Therefore, Kai Wenming knew that this script was not convincing enough, but he still made a decision with gritted teeth.

Of course, Hugo is still the biggest uncertain factor in this link, so Kevin slowly figured it out, made side-by-side attacks, and pushed forward layer by layer. Those seemingly useless actions are accumulating thrust little by little, promoting the final goal. achieved.

From the standpoint of the CEO of 20th Century Fox, Kevin's choice of "Independence Day" can be said to be a decision that has settled down to the end. What about Rick?

Human relationship is one of the compulsory subjects for the agency. The long-term friendly relationship between 20th Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Agency will inevitably put Rick under human pressure. Moreover, Kevin is willing to propose a salary of 20 million yuan, which is a win-win proposal for Rick as an agent, and Rick has no reason to refuse. Therefore, Rick can stand on Kevin's side and help Kevin convince Hugo to take over the project.

Having said that, but never forget one point, the world is bustling for profit, and the world is for profit. Profit is the eternal theme. In shopping malls, even father and son will meet each other, let alone friends. Not to mention that Rick and Kevin are not friends, they are just strategic cooperation. Rick naturally has his own plans.

Of course, Rick hopes that Hugo can take on a work of 20 million US dollars, which is a good thing for him personally. The agent's fee is enough for him to buy an apartment. Unlimited Wavelength - The world's first actor with a salary of 20 million US dollars is in this company, which is a fatal attraction for any actor: because it proves that Endeavour Elite Agency has enough ability to provide Actors fight for better returns.

But Rick clearly knew that if he destroyed the partnership between him and Hugo for a work worth 20 million yuan, it would definitely not be worth the loss. The combined value of fifty second-tier actors is not as high as that of a Hugo now, and Rick's heart is very clear about this account.

So, Rick will try to convince Hugo, but certainly not on the same side as Kevin, who is always Hugo's ally.

But, but! If Hugo is willing to nod to take on this work, Rick naturally also has his plans. He not only wants to have the world's first actor with a salary of 20 million yuan, but also wants Endeavour Elite Agency to take this opportunity to improve. Like the Creative Artists Agency, Layer Floor, like the Creative Artists Agency, packs its own artists into the same project, so that they also have the privileges that are only enjoyed by the three major Hollywood agencies.

Rick deeply knows Kevin's desire for Hugo, and in turn, Rick also knows that Kevin still hopes to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Endeavour Elite Agency - even if Hugo's project does not reach a cooperation, so, Li Gram can completely use Kevin's idea to become a bargaining chip, making this project the first packaged cooperation project since the establishment of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

This is also limitless for the future development of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

"Independence Day" is an opportunity for Kevin, but why not for Rick? Hollywood is indeed starting to wind up, and Rick's previous guess was right.

However, Rick still maintained his sanity and absolute sanity in the face of huge interests. This was the important reason why he won the Hugo brokerage contract in the first place. He forced himself to control his emotions, took a few deep breaths, and then looked at the rain. Guo, "Of course, the premise is that you are willing to take over this script."

Hugo couldn't help smiling as he watched Rick's expression change from extreme excitement to forced calm.

Naturally, Hugo didn't know what Kevin and Rick were thinking, and he didn't know that Rick had already thought so much in the short dozen seconds just now, because they were not only thinking from the company's standpoint, but more Think about the whole situation from the perspective of the future, and even take into account the plans for the next two or three years. Hugo is just an actor, just an actor. He still doesn't have enough understanding of these situations. This is his disadvantage, but it is also an advantage - at least he can focus purely on his own work, and then put professional work. Give it to Rick, Henry, Joseph and Samora.

"So, are you serious? If I reject this script, are you willing to accept my decision?" Hugo looked at Rick with a half-smiling smile. Although he didn't know what Rick was thinking, he also knew that this work had a lot to do with it. Both Kevin and Rick are very important, otherwise Kevin would not have started planning half a year ago, or Rick would not have lost his temper in front of him.

Rick knew that Hugo was joking with himself, and he was getting familiar with Hugo now, but Rick replied seriously, "Of course, I mean it. Hugo, you are a guy with a keen sense of smell, you The vision of choosing the script is much more vicious than my agent, so I don't want to interfere with your decision. All I can do now is to plan your career in the general direction, and then give you my professional opinion. That's all That's it."

"Your opinion now is that I really should take on a big-budget movie." Hugo still had a smile on his face, and nodded his chin with a chuckle, as if he was thinking.

"Yeah," Rick said neatly. "Even if it wasn't the Twentieth Century Fox project, even if it wasn't 20 million dollars, it's true."

Of course, Hugo can still continue to shoot independent small productions, which is something that many studios can't ask for. But over time, Hugo took the salary of a third-tier actor as a superstar, and his colleagues were bound to find it difficult to have a good face, but if Hugo continued to succeed, they had no way to refute, and the result could only be Hugo's true friends less and less; what is even more terrifying is that Hugo's future development line will be limited to this small world, and it can achieve great success, but to get on the stage of a higher class, the possibility will be getting smaller.

Rick did not explain these details to Hugo, because he knew that Hugo was a wise man. If he was willing to nod his head, even without these explanations, he would gladly accept them; on the contrary, if he did not want to, even if there were more reasons , it is also difficult to change Hugo's decision.

Hugo still believed in Rick's professional advice very much. Before that, although the scripts of "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Wandering on Death Row" were Hugo's decisions, Rick also gave support. The reason why brokers and assistants are distinguished is because the overall view of the career planning of brokers is always a professional skill, which is not possessed by everyone. And Rick is a great agent.

So is Hugo really going to film "Independence Day"?

Prior to this, Hugo had brushed shoulders with big-budget movies several times, including failed works such as "Future Water World" and "Cutthroat Island", but also "Mission Impossible" and "Golden Eye of 007" There are various reasons for such successful works as "Brave on the Deadly Island" and "Tornado", and the reason for the script is only one of them.

In fact, Hugo is very willing to play "Mission Impossible", and he has also mentioned before that the failure of "Future Water World" is because of the failure of rhythm control and climax. For a commercial film, this is a Fatal injury, and "Independence Day" undoubtedly has no such worries, Roland's carving of rhythm and climax are master-level.

The only real commercial film that Hugo has starred in, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is also one of the best. It is also comparable to "Speed ​​of Life and Death", and even because of Roland's bold depiction of aliens, "Independence Day" is half a position higher in film history than "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Hugo was silent for a while, and went through the test of his acting skills in "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Wandering on Death Row". Maybe he relaxes a little, doesn't need to think about acting skills, and simply devotes himself to the role. This is a good choice. And Hugo remembers that the "Independence Day" actor was also impressed with his humour, so maybe it's a good idea to challenge the "suspected comedy".

However, Hugo still needs to think about it again. He raised his head and looked at Rick with a smile, "If that's the case, then why don't you go and read the script?"

Hearing this, Rick knew that Hugo was half agreed, which made Rick's face show an excited smile again.
