Chapter 1402 1402 Behind the Scenes Investment
Hugo and Samora returned to the party scene, and just showed up when they saw Roland Emmerich approaching, "Hey, you are here." Samora gave Hugo a look, and then said He turned away with his plate, leaving the social space to Hugo. Roland walked over quickly, although there was no smile on his face, but he could clearly feel that he was very relaxed and excited, "A few people were asking just now, where is the protagonist today, you must come and see this person……"
Hugo and Roland walked side by side. Along the way, there were people nodding and greeting Hugo. There were even reporters who asked to take a photo with Hugo. The scene didn't look like the opening ceremony at all, but more like a celebration party. Hugo also There was no time to talk with Roland in detail, and most of the time he was dealing with enthusiastic and proactive friends.
For a distance of less than 50 yards, the two stopped and walked for nearly 20 minutes. Before Hugo had time to ask Roland who he had to introduce to him, he saw that he was standing not far away. Kevin Burns, the host, was in a very relaxed mood today, especially when he defeated Columbia Pictures. He signed the contract with Hugo at the last minute, and he also played a high chess game, playing Mark Kan. Taken aback.
Kevin was surrounded by stars and the moon, the representatives of the film company, the editors of the news media, and the senior management of the brokerage company were all around him. Hugo thought it was Kevin who wanted to introduce the senior management of other companies to him. The polite smile on his face was just sketched out when he saw a tall and straight figure like a pine and cypress walking over from Kevin's side, his footsteps moving in the direction of Hugo, and Roland also took the initiative to win. .
Who is this?
Hugo only felt that his head was full of question marks. The man in front of him looked a little familiar, but his mind was blank at this time, and the unfamiliar impression could not evoke any associations at this time.
The other party seems to be an upper class with a higher education, with a light and warm smile on his face, and there is some kindness in the sunshine, but his eyes are kept politely groomed, which makes people feel close but not too much. close. With the black plum coat, the ivory white shirt was not matched with a tie or bow tie, but every button was buttoned properly, and some prohibitions were vaguely outlined in the neatness. In the style of desire, a light golden curly hair is neatly combed into two and eight equal parts. The burly figure and broad shoulders carry some winter coldness, which outlines a tough temperament under the reflection of the rising sun.
Hugo always felt that he should have met each other. Although he has many friends, and he has also participated in many high-class parties, Hugo's more friends are not really rich. Those high-class people with rich family background and the entertainment industry have relatively few intersections. So if Hugo really met, he would definitely make an impression, and that was the case with the man in front of him.
"Nice to see you again, Mr. Lancaster." The man extended his right hand gracefully, and his kind smile softened the slightly jerky atmosphere.
Hugo was stunned for a while. He really couldn't wake up any memory in his brain, but he was very skilled in dealing with these occasions, and he calmly expressed his etiquette, "Good morning, thank you for coming in person today, Nice to meet you."
But the other party was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and laughed. The fully bloomed corners of his mouth made Hugo even more puzzled. Roland, who was standing by the side, wanted to introduce, but the other party raised his hand to stop Roland, raised his head and took the initiative. Said, "This is the second time we've met, the last time we met on the set of 'Love Is Only', when Kevin and I went on a visit. Nice to see you again, Mr. Lancaster, I'm Alan Strello."
The smile on Allen's face was bright with understanding. Obviously, it was no secret that Hugo couldn't remember his name for a long time, and he had heard a little about it.
Hugo couldn't help laughing awkwardly, holding Alan's right hand and shaking it up and down slightly, frowning angrily, "Although my friends said I should go to the doctor for treatment, I always insisted that I didn't. Illness, and today's events have proved that maybe the neurotic patients are so persistent."
Hugo's calmness and sincerity made Allen chuckle, and Roland, who was standing by the side, also laughed, "When Allen arrived at the scene just now, I heard him mention it and knew that after our project was confirmed, he and I You haven't officially met, this is not good news, as the behind-the-scenes investor of our crew, if you don't see the hero, Allen's check may not be cashed." Originally, Roland wanted a little humor. Yes, but he didn't speak much ups and downs, and what he said was dull and lacking any humorous effect.
"No, of course not. After I came to Hollywood, I heard a lot of rumors about Hugo. I know he is a dedicated actor, so when I want to invest in a movie, he is my absolute The first choice. Even if Hugo didn't come to visit me, I would take the initiative to look for it." Allen's remarks were very decent, with ease, humility, and a little bit of ridicule.
Although both are German, Allen and Roland are clearly two styles. Obviously, Allen, as a businessman, is much more comfortable with such occasions.
Hugo's mind was full of turbulent waves at this time, and he only now knew that Allen was actually the behind-the-scenes investor of "Independence Day", that is, the finalizer of the 20 million salary. Hugo didn't know why Rick didn't mention this to him, but Hugo understood in an instant. At that time, when the "Love is the Only" crew visited the crew, Kevin and Alan didn't go to Edward at all, they were all there for To spy on his reality.
"Wow, I hope I'm worthy of that check, otherwise my losses will be heavy." Hugo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't stop, and he replied with a smile.
Alan still held Hugo's right hand and pressed harder, "Then let's look forward to the return on this investment."
"Hey, Hugo, you're here." Rick's voice came from behind, he saw the other people standing by, greeted them one by one, and then said, "I was going to say, you are now I haven't seen the little actor, so I asked you to meet him, but now it seems that we should have a clear order." Rick's tone was relaxed and lively, and the subtext was to joke that behind-the-scenes investors are more important.
Alan immediately reacted and let go of Hugo's right hand, "No, work is important, Hugo hasn't met the little actor yet, of course, this is the first and foremost, if Hugo is not satisfied, we can change the actor, we We all hope this is an excellent work, don't we?" The bright smile on Allen's face was as dazzling as the sun, "As for us, we can chat slowly in the future, this is a long filming process, isn't it?"
"As far as I know, our crew is blocked from the outside world, but if you have any special cases, I will leave this question to Roland to answer, so I think you can have a good talk." Hugo also used a joke to answer , made everyone laugh, and then Hugo and Rick turned around and left. Hugo lowered his voice and said to Rick, "Why didn't you tell me Allen was the investor behind the scenes?"
"I asked you last time, don't you know him?" Rick frowned slightly. He turned his head and saw Allen and Roland who were still standing there. Their eyes still fell on Hugo. On his body, Rick patted Hugo, the two of them turned around to say hello at the same time, and Allen also raised the champagne in his hand to signal.
Turning his head, Hugo pursed his lips speechlessly, "My fault. Alan was the one who appeared with Kevin in the 'Love is the Only' crew last time." Needless to say more words , Hugo and Rick exchanged glances. Rick always felt that this "Independence Day" cooperation was still missing a piece of the puzzle. The whole puzzle was basically completed, but the last piece was missing, and Rick wasn't sure whether it was the corner or the center.
During the conversation, Rick stopped with Hugo. Karl Earl was talking to Tom Hanks at this time. The expressions of the two of them were very relaxed. Hugo's height difference, and whispered in Hugo's ear, "That's our final selection of child actors."
Hugo followed Rick's line of sight and saw a little friend standing by Tom's side, standing obediently, without too many small movements, but those small eyes flashed brightly, carefully looking at him. Looking around, like a clever little squirrel.
"Tom's son?" Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He remembered that Tom should have four children. The eldest child was Colin Hanks, born to Tom and his ex-wife. He also became an actor, but his age is not suitable, he is eighteen years old this year; Tom and Rita Wilson have three children, the eldest is a daughter, Elizabeth; the second child, Chester Malone ( Chester. Marlon) was born in 1990, five years old this year; the third child was born at the end of October last year, Hugo also participated in his baby shower (Baby. Shower).
According to his age, Chester is suitable, but if Tom intends to make his son appear in "Independence Day", he does not need to audition at all, and Rick and Kevin mentioned that the so-called audition for audition is not necessary at all. . Hugo was a little confused.
Rick was stunned for a while, then he realized what Hugo meant, and shook his head with a smile, "No, Tom didn't plan to let his children enter the entertainment industry—at least not child stars." As for the children growing up, Tom would Open the choice and let the children decide for themselves, "The child was selected by the sea, he once cooperated with Tom..."
Hearing this, Hugo's eyes suddenly lit up, he remembered the corresponding candidate, Rick knew that Hugo would definitely not be able to remember the name, so he clicked his chin and said instead of Hugo, "Yes, that's what you think. That, the little guy who played Tom's son in Forrest Gump."
