Chapter 843 Chapter 843

Hugo and others have postponed the time to leave, but they didn't expect to be recognized. The main reason is that Hugo's recognition is really too high now, but fortunately these are hardcore fans, although enthusiastic, but It didn't cause any confusion, just flanked Hugo out of the Forum Arena.

But even so, it took a full twenty minutes to leave the Forum Arena.

After leaving, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen strongly invited Hugo and others to have dinner together, and then opened a bottle of red wine. Samora on food and Leonardo overcoming nervousness.

It was half past eleven when Hugo returned home. Fukukin and Rick were sitting in the lobby watching the recording of the World Cup qualifiers, and they enjoyed it. But seeing Hugo coming back, Fu Jin got up and left, "Rest early in the evening, we will resume band practice tomorrow."

After Hugo nodded to show his understanding, he lay down directly on the sofa, "What's the matter? I have to say something directly tonight. Isn't phone communication the same?" Hugo was joking at Rick. , "Won't Rachel complain when you go back so late?" Rachel is Rick's wife.

Rick smiled shyly when Hugo said, "She's used to it." Then he returned to the topic, "You're not going to the band practice tomorrow, so I'm not going to disturb you. By the way, Joe , Henry and I will have a meeting tomorrow, and you'd better be there, and we'll have to finalize the tour and movie promotion plans."

Joseph nodded and sat down beside him, "You seemed surprised on the phone just now, what's going on?"

When Rick called Joseph before dinner to communicate, he temporarily proposed to meet and get together in the evening. They sat down and had a formal conversation yesterday. Today, Rick suddenly asked for a formal meeting. Joseph thought something was wrong. But Rick didn't go into details, he just said that it was not urgent, and it would be too late to talk about it after dinner was over.

So when Hugo and the others had dinner, Rick came to Hugo's house and waited. Since he didn't have the key to the house, Joseph asked him to contact Fujin.

"Hugo, you went to the draft today, did Steven give you the ticket?" Rick didn't answer Joseph's words, but looked at Hugo instead. Hearing this question, Joseph was stunned for a while, and then he recalled that Rick proposed to meet at night after learning that they and Steven were going to have dinner at dinner.

Hugo didn't know why, so he just nodded, "Yes, Steven called me the other day to ask me if I was interested in football. He has a few extra draft tickets." In fact, Steven asked Hugo's At the time, he was also a little surprised, because he didn't remember talking about rugby with Steven when he was on the set. "I thought it was strange at the time. When I asked him how he knew I like rugby, he said it was just a coincidence."

Rick didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a while, then looked up at Hugo, "I just heard Joe say, in addition to Steven, and David Geffen?"

Hugo also noticed the prudence in Rick's words, and couldn't help looking at Joseph, wanting to find an answer, but Joseph was at a loss at this time. After all, Joseph has transformed into Hugo's manager in the past two months. , although the news in the circle is still being received continuously, but after all, the manager has been far away from the front line, and the breadth and depth of the news are not so well-informed.

"Yes, Steven came to the draft with David today." Hugo nodded affirmatively, "What's the matter, Rick, is there something wrong?" Hugo and Rick have just started working together after all. There is no tacit understanding between the two, so all communication can only be started from scratch. Hugo chose the easiest way to open the skylight and speak brightly.

Rick also had this idea, so he rushed over overnight. He thought about it and organized his own language, "I think it may not be that simple for Steven and David to find you today. Of course, It's possible that I'm overthinking all of this."

Rick is a very cautious person who never makes unreasonable speculations. For this, Hugo did not feel deeply, but Joseph understood it very well. Hearing this, Joseph couldn't help but get serious and recalled today's meeting carefully, but they didn't talk about any important issues at all except rugby is rugby.

Knowing that what he said now is too general, he quickly said, "It's like this. In fact, there are a lot of scripts I've been looking for you recently, but I've stayed and screened them one by one, and some of them feel pretty good. , I also made an appointment with the screenwriter or producer to talk about it and want to know more about these projects."

In fact, the situation in the past two months has been a bit subtle. On the one hand, after Hugo won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, the major production companies are obviously bullish on Hugo's future, so many scripts in preparation are aimed at Hugo, and Rick, as Hugo's new agent, naturally became Xiangmomo.

On the other hand, the internal division of the International Innovation Management Company directly gave birth to the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. The International Innovation Management Company headed by Marvin Josephson naturally made every effort to use the human resources in hand, and wanted to put the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company Stifled in infancy, so some producers will temporarily wait and see due to human relationships.

However, for the production companies, the situation of the agency is not something they need to consider, they really care about the starting interests. Therefore, Hugo's strong appeal still overwhelms human relationships. In the past two months, Rick has offered to invite him to lunch with the producers to discuss the script, at least in double digits.

Of course, Rick didn't tell Hugo about these meticulous things, but simply said a result, "One of the projects is David Geffen's. I had lunch with David and had a very pleasant conversation."

Here, things seem to have become clear. But the problem is, today David never mentioned the new work from the beginning to the end. Is it really just an affair?

Rick continued to say, "This project has been in preparation for a while, and David is going to invest 50 to 60 million US dollars to build it with a luxurious lineup. At present, the director has been determined to be Neil Jordan (Neil. Jordan). Now, in terms of actors, David intends to select every role carefully. He thinks that you are very suitable for the role of the male lead, so he talked to me and wanted to see your opinion, but I still use you as the tour guide For the reason of preparation, I did not reply to him for the time being."

"Are you dissatisfied with this project?" Hugo asked. Rick didn't mention it at all yesterday. To be precise, Rick didn't mention any project yesterday.

Rick chuckled, "No, I just want to take a look at the overall situation, have a further understanding, and then talk to you after confirming that it is suitable, so that you can ask about the script, I will also have one. Explain." The other thing that Rick didn't say is that he knew that Hugo was currently mainly on tour and would not accept any scripts. Besides, "Life and Death" was just finished in March, so there was really no need to let Hugo go. The script is too intensive, so Rick is not in a hurry.

Joseph was sitting next to him, but suddenly thought, "Hugo, do you remember? Before the Oscars, it was Steven who introduced David to you, and you talked for a long time that day. You said, could it be from then on that David wanted you to star in this script?"

Hugo was stunned, and after being reminded by Joseph, he remembered that he and David met at the Oscars, "No way, what script is it, he actually started brewing it two months ago, Wouldn't it be alright to speak directly?"

"Yes, this is the reason why I came here today." Rick said, "If it's just a script, David doesn't need to go around in a big circle at all. Even if he is afraid that you will refuse, he can have an in-depth conversation with you. There's no need to go around like that at all."

Joseph and Hugo also nodded, Hugo said, "David did not mention the project at the draft and dinner today."

"Look, you met David twice, and it was Steven who was there, and Steven was there. If David wants you to star in this script, just let Steven convince you. Yes, but he didn't." Rick paused here, as if to sort out his thoughts, and then said, "So I wonder if it's because David and Steven have a big move, they Just want to get along with you. Steven has always had a good relationship with you, and he has spoken for you in the media many times, and now it's David...I think maybe they think about it, not just me This project is a long-term development in the future.”

"What development?" Joseph said, but there was an answer in Hugo's brain that was ready to come out!

DreamWorks.

Rick didn't know what Hugo was thinking, but he continued to say, "Actually, after the Oscars, Steven's actions have been very frequent, and he seems to be planning some big moves, not only David, but also Disney Chairman Jeff. Ray Katzenberg. Jeffrey and Disney CEO Michael Eisner had a very bad relationship, and Disney called Eisner a tyrant, and the relationship between the two was tense."

Rick glanced at Hugo, then said cautiously, "So I was wondering if Steven wanted to start a company, and there was no small plot. So, they have a good relationship with you. , I hope that after the company is established, if there is a suitable opportunity, it will be able to cooperate with you.”

Hugo looked at Rick in surprise, what is it to see the essence through the phenomenon, today Rick gave Hugo a vivid lesson!
