1738 Chapter 1738

When Kevin Pence arrived at the scene, out of professional instinct, he looked at the scene. It was soon discovered that Hugo was having a good time with Shirley Lansing, while Ron Mayer was still staring at him not far away; Mark Canton unexpectedly did not circle around Hugo, but had a relationship with the Coen brothers. Talk and laugh. I looked around, but I didn't see Barry Mayer.

Today is the premiere of "Romeo and Juliet" in Berlin, and it is definitely good news for the movie that so many bigwigs have arrived in person. As a producer and distributor, Twentieth Century Fox really fought well in this battle - it doesn't need to spend a dime, and the movie promotion war is already vigorous.

This is a good thing.

However, Kevin frowned slightly. He always felt that there was something wrong with such a scene, but he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while, and it was difficult to say why. Kevin thought for a while, and instead of walking directly towards Hugo, he walked towards Leonardo, who was talking to Richard Attenborough, the director of "Love and War".

Sure enough, after a while, Hugo took the initiative to come over, which loosened Kevin's tense heartstrings a little. In the past two years, Kevin has worked tirelessly to manage this network, and it has finally played a role at a critical moment. Since yesterday, Kevin has deliberately kept his distance, without rushing to join in the fun, and now it has finally worked.

The only pity is that Alan Strello left Berlin last night because of a temporary incident. Otherwise, if Alan is called over today, maybe things will be done with half the effort.

Kevin was thinking about it in his heart, but his mouth did not relax in the slightest. He smiled at Hugo, "It seems that you have been very busy these two days, and I haven't seen you until now." Hugo's teasing made Kevin chuckled softly and retorted, "It shouldn't be me who is really busy, right? I just think I can wait a little longer, or I'll knock on your door in person last night."

"So, are you looking for me?" Hugo's eyes flickered slightly, but he went straight to the subject without any cover.

Kevin couldn't help being a little flustered. From what he knew, Hugo's visit to Berlin this time could almost be said to be impeccable. But now, Hugo took the initiative to throw the topic out, and Kevin couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

So Kevin made a tentative joke, "About today's premiere of 'Romeo and Juliet'. It's a big help for us that you can come in person."

The corner of Hugo's mouth was still smiling, but there was a little more playfulness in his eyes - there was no hidden emotion, "I will never refuse Leo's request." Hugo said with a light smile, and then turned to look at him. Leonardo and Richard, "Richard, please forgive my rudeness. Sandra told me before, you are a very nice gentleman, I hope I didn't have the rudeness of saying hello in the first place. , will not make a big mistake."

Hugo's humor made Richard also laugh, "It would be my rudeness if I still care about such perfect etiquette."

Kevin stood on the side, and almost immediately felt that he had missed the opportunity - Hugo was not joking any more, he really gave him a chance to speak, which is also the past of 20th Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Agency. The result of two years of close cooperation, but Kevin missed the opportunity.

Kevin secretly clenched his fist in his heart. The situation inside 20th Century Fox has been too complicated recently, and his behavior will inevitably have some influence, which can be regarded as a wake-up call for him. Next, Hugo, Leonardo, and Richard chatted on and off, and there was never a suitable opportunity. Kevin was not in a hurry, but just joined the conversation calmly and patiently.

Before I knew it, it was time to enter the premiere. Kevin switched positions calmly, stood beside Hugo, and walked side by side toward the theater. Under the surging crowd, Kevin Seemingly casually asked, "How is it, after coming to Berlin, do you remember the memories of being here last year?"

Last year, Hugo won the Silver Bear for Best Actor here for "Death Ramble".

Hugo squinted slightly and looked at Kevin, but Kevin was not nervous, and looked back with a faint smile, as if he didn't notice the scrutiny in Hugo's line of sight, "Of course, Berlin brings The memories are always good." Hugo gave a positive answer with a smile, and then raised his eyebrows slightly, "Feeling such a strong movie atmosphere will also remind me of the good memories of the filming on the set."

Kevin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Hugo continued to take his words as expected, which was a positive signal. However, Kevin was still not in a hurry, but said with a smile, "Why? I thought you should enjoy the tour day more." Hugo asked with interest, "Why do you think so?" Kevin said this Shi smiled sincerely from the bottom of his heart, "On the tour stage, you insist on yourself; in front of the camera lens, what you experience is the challenge."

This is also the most confident part of Kevin. Although he dare not say that he knows Hugo well, he does understand Hugo's pursuit. This is also his biggest bargaining chip.

Hugo was immediately amused by Kevin, but he did not respond, neither affirmed nor denied, nor did he continue on this topic. But Kevin found the right moment in Hugo's smile, "However, you haven't been on the set for a long time, and it's time to start missing."

Kevin's timing was very good, and Hugo shrugged noncommittally, "If there is a chance."

This is the moment! The smile on the corner of Kevin's mouth became more calm. "There are opportunities all the time. You are never short of choices. The only question is whether you are interested in the project I am working on."

Equally straightforward, but Kevin is more gradual than Mark, and the way he speaks is hard to say no to. Hugo turned his head to look over, and paused for half a second, which made Kevin a little uncertain, and then saw Hugo's mouth draw a big arc, and there was some sarcasm and banter in his smile, "You Did you mean 'Living Fire and Molten City'?"

Kevin didn't expect that Hugo was already prepared, because even he himself had no clue about the projects currently in the hands of 20th Century Fox, and Hugo actually said it in such a direct way. This made Kevin suddenly alert: the current situation inside Twentieth Century Fox must not be leaked. Once those hyenas smell abnormal, I am afraid that his work will be more difficult. Since the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has already smelled the clues, it means that the other bigwigs are probably aware of it.

Although Kevin remained calm on the surface, his heartstrings were tightened again: Hugo is a partner, but not his own, "It seems that you already know something about the chips I have."

Hugo didn't seem to notice Kevin's tension at all, and shook his head, "Kevin, if this is your biggest bargaining chip, then I'm going to be disappointed." The teasing flickering in his eyes told Kevin clearly. , the script of "Living Fire City" is really bad.

Kevin couldn't help choking. In fact, he also knew that the project they were currently working on was difficult to impress Hugo. They are businessmen and their interests come first; Hugo is an actor and works first. The rules are different, but the principles are the same. Kevin hardly made any waves in his heart, and said calmly, "The weight of the chips depends not only on the seller, but also on the buyer." It means that Hugo is too picky.

Hugo was not angry, but just said with a smile, "So whether the deal can be reached or not depends on the hearts of both parties." This is to continue following Kevin's words, but then the conversation changed. "However, sometimes, a deal that didn't seem promising at first might be a deal, and it would make both parties very satisfied."

This thoughtless sentence made Kevin's pupils congeal slightly, but he couldn't wait for him to think more, and the two of them walked into the screening room. The screening of "Romeo and Juliet" is about to begin, and it's no longer suitable for conversation. Hugo nodded politely at Kevin, then took a step in the direction of Sandra Bullock.

Kevin stood where he was, watching Hugo leave, but fell into deep thought.

Hugo was a smart man, no doubt about that. In the past two days, Hugo has dealt with the mad bombardment of so many big brothers, and has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and methodical, but during the conversation just now, Hugo has always followed the rhythm of his conversation, completely following the line he expected. This is not normal.

Hugo directly rejected the proposal of "Living Fire and Melting City", and did not even give him a space for a detailed introduction. The plan of the work. If so, why was Hugo's last sentence?

Kevin carefully thought about all the conversation just now, but still had no clue. When Kevin came to understand, he realized that before he knew it, his thoughts were being led away by Hugo, which made Kevin smile bitterly. But even if he understood this, Kevin had to admit that Hugo now has such a powerful influence in Hollywood - and even the world.

After sorting out his thoughts, Kevin began to recall the events after Hugo arrived in Berlin yesterday, and his whole thoughts became clear little by little. Hugo has been in contact with many people in the past two days, but not many of them have abnormal situations. Apart from himself, only Barry Mayer had a long conversation with Hugo at breakfast this morning, and the content of the conversation was quite strange; And there is...

Mark Canton!

Kevin finally remembered that Mark did not pester Hugo just now, but came together with the Coen brothers. What does this mean?

At this time, all the clues were connected, and Kevin finally understood. Hugo was not aimless just now. His words clearly implied that someone was already half a step ahead. So, is it Barry, or is it Mark?
