Chapter 1725: 1725

Kevin and Shirley, including Michael just now, were all going around here and were unwilling to tell the truth. This time Mark suddenly picked up the topic, but instead had an unexpected effect, making the whole thing clear.

Kevin is the person who is most familiar with Rick here. He was just stunned and looked at Mark meaningfully. Compared with a few years ago, Mark is already reborn. The critically acclaimed "Sex. Book Tycoon" is produced by Sony Columbia Pictures and should not be underestimated. Kevin then followed the trend and asked, "Speaking of Hugo, why didn't I see him today? As far as I know, he is not someone who likes to appear at the last moment of the red carpet."

Rick smiled and shook his head, "Today Hugo needs to rehearse for the weekend performance, and he didn't come to Berlin." A simple sentence confirmed everyone's conjecture, "He specifically called Sandra to apologize, I think Sandra should give him a good lesson when he goes back."

In fact, before tonight, everyone received the news: Hugo did not arrive in Berlin. But only now has Rick's definite affirmative answer.

"So when 'Romeo and Juliet' is released, Hugo won't appear?" Seeing that everyone had already talked about the topic, Shirley simply asked directly - this topic is not sensitive.

Rick opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and then had a helpless expression on his face, "I don't know, Hugo hasn't given me any news for the time being. Recently, Hugo is busy with the tour, so I can only contact his manager, Most of the time, the assistant is calling me back."

He seemed to be complaining that he was being ignored, which made everyone laugh. But in fact, Rick placed Hugo in a "busy" position invisibly. No matter what happens next, Rick can use this as an excuse to buffer a little and then discuss it. .

"This tour is truly unparalleled, I read the news yesterday that the band has created a new history of audience numbers in Africa, with a total of 210,000 people in three cities, breaking the record of Michael Jackson in Africa not long ago. A historical record created." With just one sentence, Mark brought everyone's attention back to him, and this wisdom made both Shirley and Kevin look at him.

With a big smile on his face, Rick said humbly, "I don't know much about the music part. I got this from the newspapers too." In fact, thanks to Dead of Glory and Michael - Jackson's strong influence, Endeavour Elite Agency has set up a music department and is growing rapidly.

"It seems that Hugo will continue to focus on the tour in a short period of time." This is the real core of what Mark said just now, and he brought the topic back all of a sudden, "I was looking forward to the This project can impress Hugo, hehe.”

Although Mark finally chuckled twice to relieve the atmosphere, he was still a little impatient. To bring up this topic twice in such a short period of time would probably be self-defeating. A number of thoughts flashed in their minds between Kevin and Shirley.

Sure enough, Rick restrained his smile, looked at Mark solemnly, and asked earnestly, "Mr. Canton doesn't think it's too early to talk about this?" Rick used an honorific title, more polite, but But it pulled the distance away.

Surprisingly, Mark did not panic, but smiled, shook his head, and replied in a very serious tone, "Of course I know that the 'Rainstorm' world tour will last until the end of April. At this time It's a long, long time before the tour ends, but I don't think it's too early to talk about that."

This is everyone's idea. At this time, in December last year, people were talking about Rick's tone one after another. Now it's February, and naturally no one will be too early.

"Hehe, after the tour, Hugo needs to rest and adjust for a while. It's still too late to talk about it at that time." Although Rick spoke politely, he left no room for more maneuvering, and the topic stopped abruptly here. stop.

Mark was really impatient.

However, compared to Mark's reckless actions, Kevin is more curious about what exactly is the project in Mark's hands? Why was Mark so certain that Hugo would be interested in his project? Where did Mark's confidence come from? This is really the intriguing part.

"Sorry, I saw an acquaintance and had to go over to say hello. We'll talk slowly when the movie is over." Rick stopped for a while, politely apologized, and then turned and left. The three big bosses, Kevin, Shirley, and Mark who stayed behind, each had their own thoughts and did not stay for too long, so they each left.

Of course Rick knew what their real goal was, he couldn't have been clearer. Even if the major film companies don't say it, he has been paying attention to the script, because Rick knows that many times the appearance of excellent scripts is irregular. Therefore, during Hugo's tour, Rick has been paying attention to the script, not only the script of the major film companies, but also the works of many newcomers and unknown people in the screenwriters' union, hoping to make a big wave and pick a good one for Hugo 's script.

From the splendid performances of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Ramble" to the vigorous outbreak of "Independence Day", Hugo's film career has climbed to unprecedented heights. But this is also a double-edged sword. On the bright side, no matter what theme, investment scale, or genre Hugo chooses for his next work, it will not cause any controversy. He has absolute freedom of choice. No matter whether it is a blockbuster or an independent workshop, it will not have any impact on Hugo's career.

But on the bad side, the reason why people are so "tolerant" of Hugo is because they believe that no matter what the work is, as long as Hugo starred, it is bound to be worth looking forward to. "Hugo must produce a masterpiece", this is a praise, but also a shackle.

Rick knows it's almost impossible to beat "The Seven Deadly Sins", "Death Ramble", or beat "Independence Day" at the box office -- it's impossible to get it, but at least it shouldn't be a movie. Bad work. Rick wanted to be able to hold the first hurdle for Hugo on the script and keep it high quality.

Hugo's tour will end at the end of April, and Rick hopes that after that, he can give Hugo some time off to slowly adjust his state, and then take on a new script when Hugo is sure to be ready. Rick has never been an agent eager for quick success, because he clearly knows that it is the most sensible choice at this time to make big fish with long lines.

So, Rick knew what Kevin, Shirley, Mark and others were after, but he would never let go. According to the normal plan, Hugo chooses a work that will start shooting in May, and it is very appropriate to carry out preliminary preparations now. This is also an important reason why Hollywood has started to wind again recently——

Almost everyone is curious about Hugo's next choice. This time, people are not curious about "the success or failure of the new work", but "what surprises the new work can bring". With Hugo crowned the superstar throne, people will become more demanding and demanding.

Originally, Rick and Kevin, Shirley and the others were fighting haha. This was part of a social situation, and everything was fine, but Mark was in a hurry, and the whole topic was approached at once, so Rick became serious in an instant and gave Mark to eat a soft nail.

In fact, not only 20th Century Fox, Paramount and Sony Columbia, but also Warner Bros., New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures are present today. In today's eight major Hollywood studios, in addition to Disney and MGM, their top leaders have come to the Berlin Film Festival, which is very abnormal.

Generally speaking, talking with actors about film projects, the highest level that can get the general manager of the film department to go out, is already high-level and high-level, the main reason is that Hollywood movies are based on "projects" as the basic unit, and more often It is the producer who provokes the lead, and then the producer and the film company discuss the cost and investment; or implement bundled sales like an innovative artist brokerage company, then more often the brokerage company finds the script, director, producer, etc. Wait, after the project is packaged, talk to the film company about investment.

Hands-on situations like Mark Canton's are only rare exceptions, because as CEOs, their main task is not to talk about the project, but to set the general direction for the company - which of course also includes the investment details of the project. One of the reasons why Kevin Pence kept running last year was Hugo, and he couldn't exclude Endeavour Elite Agency and DreamWorks behind Hugo. Another reason was that 20th Century Fox was fighting for Alan Steer. Laidlaw's investment.

This time is obviously a bit special, because after "Independence Day", the whole Hollywood is in turmoil, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones, and as the most attractive actor in the United States, Hugo's every move is very important. That's why these big guys came out in full force.

In an instant, the smoke of Berlin began to fill up, and in the bitter February, it became an unprecedented global focus, even surpassing the Golden Globe Awards that just ended not long ago, so that Berlin, which was forgotten in the corner of the world, stood in the world overnight. Under the spotlight in the center!

The premiere of "Love and War" is already buzzing - this is the case without Hugo; and in the blink of an eye, "Romeo and Juliet" is about to land at the Berlin Film Festival tomorrow, the night before, the whole city There was a commotion, and the hot and dry movement made the bitterly cold winter begin to heat up. The reason is very simple. Hugo, who is on the second stage of the "Rainstorm" world tour in Europe, arrived in Berlin!
