Chapter 2142 Chapter 2142

Quietly, the guest performers for the thirty-fourth Super Bowl halftime show were finalized. Glory to Death will become the first rock band to be on the top stage in the United States in the long history, and will also write a brand new theme song for the league, pushing the momentum of rock recovery to the peak again.

However, this news has never been announced, and the NFL has been keeping it secret. It plans to leak the news bit by bit at an appropriate moment, and then gradually set off the atmosphere, and finally detonate completely above the Super Bowl. In this regard, the NFL has long been familiar with it.

Glory to Death is working on the preparations for the fourth series, and at the same time, it is preparing for the Super Bowl performance. Roger Faxon of EMI knew the news immediately. He and Henry held two emergency meetings, and then held another meeting within the company. Finally, it was decided that the fourth album of Glory to Death will be released on Super It was officially released the week after the bowl ended, followed by the strong momentum of the Super Bowl, and the influence of Glory to Death was maximized.

At this time, there are still more than four months before the Super Bowl, and such a plan is obviously feasible. However, whether the trip can be made or not depends on the recording progress of the band's fourth album. After nearly three years of being calm, Roger finally became impatient. Sheeran Raikkonen, who is now the producer of Glory to Death, rushed directly from New York to Los Angeles to join the band in the preparation of the album.

Just as Hugo was devoting himself to the work of the new album, Endeavor Elite also received good news.

This year J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series has been released to the third volume, and the not long ago "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" has become one of the biggest hits throughout the summer, with sales once again. Breaking his own records and creating his own history, this series of novels has become the most successful series of children's books in British history, and at the same time set off a reading frenzy in the United States.

The single mother who was panicked in the coffee shop in Edinburgh, relying on her own efforts, finally saw the moon through the clouds and became a world-renowned top writer. This is the real fairy tale.

Endeavor Elite Brokerage holds J. K. Rowling has the right to adapt all of Rowling's works, and Warner Bros.' Barry Meyer, who is cunning and cunning, immediately saw the huge commercial value hidden in this series of works, and officially bought the right to adapt, and will work with Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company to develop "Harry Potter" series on the big screen.

For now, "Harry Potter" is only a potential children's movie in the eyes of Hollywood, and its commercial value has not received enough attention. But in fact, the great success of the film adaptation of this series of novels not only created a series of films that lasted for ten years, but also not only made a group of small actors popular, but also not only drove "Twilight" City", "The Hunger Games", "Fifty Shades of Grey" and a series of youth literature adaptations have risen, and more importantly, this has allowed Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company to have its own series of works-series packaged works.

This also means that they really have the ability and resources to drive the job opportunities of their actors for a long time. After the arrival of the new century, Endeavor Elite Agency has been called "Hollywood's fourth largest", officially breaking the status of the three major Hollywood agencies. Limitations and constraints, became the fourth top player.

Who would have thought that all this actually came from Hugo and J. K. What about Rowling's chance meeting at the Edinburgh Elephant Cafe?

When Rick later reviewed the development of the entire incident, he once again marveled at Hugo's insight-even though he nodded and signed J because he trusted Hugo. K. Rowling, but Rick did not expect that this act, which was considered to be a charity at the beginning, has achieved the glory of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company in the next two decades.

When Rick arrives at Hugo's Malibu villa, he sees J. K. Rowling and Hugo stood at the door talking and laughing happily. When he walked over, Hugo said with a smile, "Believe me, I am very willing to go to London to help, as long as the crew will not dislike me and get in the way."

This sentence made Joanna laugh loudly, "If the children's madness is a problem, then I can already predict the grand scene. But I think your appearance is very important for the crew to choose actors." It couldn't have been more helpful."

Hugo nodded vigorously, "Then I'll wait for the notification." After finishing speaking, Joanna turned around and was about to walk towards her car, "Hey, Rick." Joanna saw the oncoming man at once. Come Rick.

"I remember your plane is at noon, isn't it?" Joanna was going to fly back to London today. Rick thought Joanna was already at the airport, but unexpectedly saw her here.

Joanna smiled and nodded, "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, it's still too late, but I have to go to the airport, and I'll call you later." After speaking, Joanna waved to Hugo and walked quickly Get in the car, then walk away.

During this period, Joanna and Hugo met several times. Obviously, Joanna is very grateful to Hugo. Without Hugo's support, she would not dare to think about today's situation. So, even though she had to catch a plane today, she still made a special trip to say goodbye to Hugo in person.

Rick watched the back of the car where Joanna left, "Are you talking about casting actors?" Turning around, he saw Hugo nodded, and Rick sighed softly, "You don't agree with Haili coming Playing Harry Potter? Why?" Barry Meyer firmly disagreed with Haley playing the leading role, even though Haley showed shocking performance in the just-released "The Sixth Sense".

Hugo shrugged, "This is a British novel. I personally think that it is best for the three protagonists to be played by British people, with the purest taste." There is no special opinion, neither like nor dislike, but he still has to admit that from the perspective of role interpretation, Daniel is more suitable than Haley.

Perhaps, Hugo still has the imprint left by the ten-year long memory of "Harry Potter" in his mind.

Hugo's indifferent expression made Rick choke.

Warner Bros. teamed up with Endeavor to adapt "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and had problems from the start. Warner Bros. wanted Steven Spielberg to direct, and Steven was very interested , He even sat down with Joanna to discuss the script; but Steven wanted Haley to play the role of Harry, but Warner Bros. expressed strong opposition, even if Steven threatened "without Haley's words, I won't direct," nor did it shake Warner Bros.'s mind, and the entire negotiation is currently at a stalemate.

Unexpectedly, Hugo actually stood on the side of Warner Brothers, which made Rick feel a little depressed, "Hugo, I'm serious, and I hope you can give me some ideas, or you can come forward to suppress Barry. .”

Hugo laughed lightly, turned back and walked towards the villa, "Rick, even Steven's pressure is useless, you should know that Barry's attitude is very firm. Besides, my thoughts are indeed Seriously." Hugo and Rick walked down the stairs side by side, he thought for a while, "Let's put it this way, Hailey is indeed very good, but he has already left a deep impression on the audience, believe me, For a series of movies, it is the most sensible choice to choose an unfamiliar face without any impression. For example, the James Bond series."

Rick recollected Hugo's thoughts carefully. He knew that Hugo was definitely not aimless. Since Hugo said so, it must be debatable. He should have a good talk with Joanna after he went back. "Did you come here today? Didn't Joe just go to the company in the morning? He hasn't come back yet." Hugo's voice made Rick come out of his thoughts and sorted out his thoughts, "Yes, Joe is still in the company now Have a meeting, listen to what Henry said, EMI asked if you have any plans to start touring again, Joe is currently in a meeting with Henry and Roger."

Due to the invitation of the Super Bowl halftime show, Roger paid unprecedented attention to it, because he knew that this might be a good opportunity for EMI to further expand the market in North America, so he flew directly to Los Angeles the day before yesterday. In a meeting with Henry.

Hugo nodded to show his understanding, did not speak again, walked into the hall, Rick followed him, and said, "I came here today to ask you, what is your plan for the next filming? If Glory to Death To start the tour, the next filming will be at least after next fall."

"Isn't everything still uncertain?" Hugo walked into the kitchen and asked, "Beer or coffee? Or juice?"

"Coffee, I drove four hours of memories in the morning, and now I need something to refresh my mind." Rick followed to the kitchen and sat down by the stove, "'A Beautiful Mind' hasn't finished yet, there are a lot of The project asked about your schedule, and you haven’t made any movement recently, how could they sit still, so I want to say, if you confirm the tour plan, then I will push them all in one go, and save They've been going round and round in there."

Hugo handed the coffee to Rick, and then put the sugar bowl and milk on the table. Rick continued, "If it's not confirmed yet, I have a few projects on hand, which have certain feasibility. See See if you're interested."

It was only brought up this morning when Glory to Death resumed its tour; Rick came here specifically to find Hugo, originally to ask him what he thought, but now because of the tour, the uncertainty has increased again.

Hugo frowned, and said with a smile, "I've only been resting for less than two months, and it's useless for them to be in a hurry." Rick knew this, but even so, Rick still found Came to the door, "You came here today, is it because they put too much pressure on you, are you going to use me as a shield, or because there is really a good project?"

"Hugo, sometimes you can be a little stupid." Rick's answer was very helpless.
