Chapter 941 941 Advanced Party

Whether Hugo is interested in "007" or not, today's dinner is important to Rick, and he knows it very well.

MGM Studios, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that MGM has not yet reached the level of "death thin"; the dinner attended by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg can be imagined. The weight of the guests; the choice of the new "007", there will definitely be many senior brokers present at the scene, which can be speculated with the toes, and the current three major brokerage companies will not be absent...

Connecting all these clues, you know how important this dinner is to Endeavour Elite Brokerage.

Strictly speaking, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is not qualified to enter this kind of dinner at all, but they rely on Hugo as a stepping stone to get the admission ticket, no wonder Rick is so cautious; and the reason why Rick asked Hugo to bring Camere Long's presence is not only the role of the female partner, but Cameron is also an actor of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. He can completely let Ali-Emmanuel or other senior partners enter the dinner scene together.

Hugo himself is one of the owners of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, and he naturally hopes that the development of the company can be on the right track as soon as possible; , he also knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg, he has only come into contact with an insignificant part of the current Hollywood connections, so from any point of view, he must attend the dinner.

Since Steven invited Hugo on the grounds of a "private party", and there were only a few hours left before the dinner, Hugo and Cameron must not be dressed up, but they should not be too simple and casual. , it must conform to the style of the dinner party, this kind of scale is really difficult to grasp.

It's a dinner party, but it's definitely not the kind of face-to-face sit down for dinner, but a buffet party. It's not a wise choice to arrive too early or too late. Rick and Ali arrived at their destination at 8:15 a.m., while Hugo and Cameron, accompanied by Samora and Joseph, were "longly late" after half an hour.

Today's dinner was held in Malibu, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was held in a quiet and peaceful seaside villa. When Hugo and his party arrived at the entrance of the villa, they were stopped by the guards at the entrance. He politely walked forward. , asked Samora to roll down the window, and after confirming the real identities of Hugo and Cameron, they checked with the guest list in their hands before putting them in.

This kind of high-level dinner, there are not many guests, and everyone who can arrive here is a person with a name and a surname, so a face is the best pass compared to an invitation letter. If you get stuck at the door and the guards don't recognize it, that's the biggest humiliation for an actor.

Due to the strict security system at the entrance, all the thirteen paparazzi cars following Hugo were stopped outside, which made Hugo applaud.

In fact, when he went out today, Hugo originally wanted to get rid of the paparazzi, but the paparazzi were not so easy to get rid of, especially after Cameron came back to Los Angeles today, they were even more reluctant to give up.

Secondly, today's dinner is obviously not able to hide from the reporters who are very capable. Maybe MGM secretly informed the media to come to "dig" to break the news, so Hugo does not need to cover up. If MGM wants complete secrecy, then they must have corresponding measures. Even if the paparazzi follow the scene, it will not be so easy to succeed.

So, Hugo finally went out with a bunch of tails.

It took at least fifteen minutes to walk through the spacious front courtyard. Samora parked the car at the long staircase, and a waiter in a tuxedo stepped forward and opened the door for Hugo. The waiter looked up, then gave Hugo a warm smile, "Good evening, Mr. Lancaster, is the traffic going smoothly?"

Apparently, the waiter got the information from the security guard at the door and called out Hugo's name as soon as he came up. After Hugo smiled and greeted, he stretched out his hand and led Cameron out of the car. The waiter bowed politely thirty degrees again, "Miss Diaz, good evening, I hope you have a good night." Then the waiter bent down and stretched out his hand. Signal to have Hugo and Cameron follow him.

Hugo glanced back at Joseph, and Joseph motioned for Hugo and Cameron to go up first, and he and Samora would naturally follow after a while. At such a private party, the managers will certainly not be inseparable from the actors, they also have their own circles. Managers and brokers are different, they are more like half spokespersons of artists, so they also have an invisible network in their circles.

Hugo took Cameron and walked up the marble steps in front of him. The raging sea breeze on the steps came from all directions, making this summer night a chill. Fortunately, the steps were not long. Hugo and Cameron quickly came to the gate and entered the hall under the guidance of the waiter.

Walking into the lobby, the warm lights fell down, and Hugo asked Cameron in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Cameron wore a black one-line skirt tonight with a white shirt. It was dignified but sexy, casual but not grand. The simple and generous match and a pair of red fingerless high heels made the whole person bright. up. She knew that Hugo was worried that she was wearing too little clothes and that the seaside was still different. She smiled and shook her head at Hugo, "I'm fine."

At this time, Hugo had time to look at the situation in front of him. There were not as many people in the hall as he imagined, only more than 30 people. Of course, the villa was so big, and Hugo could only see the scene in front of him, but at least it could prove that , this is indeed a private party, because there are really not too many actors within Hugo's line of sight.

The waiter who led Hugo and Cameron in left, but then a waiter came up and asked them what drinks they wanted. Hugo asked for two glasses of champagne, then looked up and saw that Roland Parkin had walked in front of him. "haven't seen you for a long time."

Roland is one of the senior partners of the Creative Artists Agency. At the beginning, he personally poached Hugo, and even used Quentin Tarantino and "Pulp Fiction" to make a little unpleasant, but in fact, Roland can There is naturally a reason for becoming the top figure in the brokerage industry. After the negotiation failed, he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, and in the past six months, he has not made any small moves behind the scenes - at least it did not affect Hugo.

Roland smiled and shook hands with Hugo, then looked at Cameron politely, "Dear Miss Diaz, the 'Geek in Disguise' is really amazing, but I didn't expect that when I saw the real person today, it was And got more visual enjoyment." The gentleman is humorous, polite and close, and most importantly, he does not regard Cameron as Hugo's female companion, but an independent individual, which is especially true Rare.

Sure enough, Cameron's original nervousness was relieved, and the smile on his face became much more natural. "I think ladies always like these sweet words, and I am no exception." Cameron's clear and hearty laughter Roland also chuckled lightly.

"I had a chat with Rick just now, and I was betting with him whether you would choose the next work first or release the second album first." Roland's jokes are indeed high-level, full of fun, but also With a little trial.

The smile on Hugo's face was also relaxed, "Can I participate in this game? I swear, I'm also very curious about the outcome." Hugo's humor made Roland smile, but he knew that Hugo would be considered a detour. past his question.

Without waiting for Roland to say more, someone else came over. It was Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, "Hey, dear Hugo." It was Nicole who greeted her with a smile on her face. With a dignified yet enthusiastic smile.

After a few people said hello, Roland left, leaving the Cruises behind.

After Tom watched Roland leave, "So, Roland has already started to act?" Hugo cast his eyes in surprise, Tom then explained, "The actor he represents is also one of the competitors, and he is the loudest." Hugo instantly time to understand.

Hugo and Tom couldn't be called friends, because the two didn't have any personal friends, but they had a good relationship. Putting aside Tom's acting skills or personal life, simply speaking of Tom's personality, he is indeed a very charismatic person, which is why he has been able to live in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, and he has repeatedly handed out olive branches to Hugo. , even if the two have had several head-to-head competitions.

It seems like now, Tom not only saved Hugo, but also reminded.

Hugo chuckled, "I remember you and Roland are from the same company." Tom and Brad Pitt are both from Creative Artists Agency, so there is also a trace that they can star in "Interview with the Vampire" together. follow. Inside the Creative Artists Agency, because of the special system, their internal competition is not so fierce, but it is different between actors. Obviously Tom and Brad are a pair of competitors.

Hugo can guess, it is estimated that the resources within the creative artist agency are tilting towards Brad, and he wants to support Brad, but Tom, who has already become famous and flourishing, is naturally not happy to see such a situation. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Tom has repeatedly courted Hugo.

Hugo's teasing made Tom laugh, "Business is business, and friends are friends, these are two different things. Besides, I'm just an outsider." Tom's bright smile can be called peerless elegance, deducting his height In addition to the disadvantages, the "Tang Ge" in the 1980s and 1990s was indeed amazingly charming, and even Hugo, who was also a man, couldn't help but admire him.

When Tom said "outsider", he was actually saying that he had nothing to do with tonight's James Bond alternate. If Hugo understood what he said, then he naturally knew how to answer; if he didn't, Tom would probably also As if nothing happened.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why don't I?" This sentence made Tom stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled, "It seems that tonight is a carnival."
