Cheerful time always flies quickly. Hugo spent a whole day with Cameron in New York, and then worked with Cameron on the crew for another day. Obviously, Cameron was really hard to concentrate with Hugo. Later, in order not to affect Cameron's follow-up work, Hugo left New York and returned to Los Angeles.
After arriving home, Hugo called Rick and told about the encounter with Kevin Pence on the set that day, "Is it because I think too much, or is there something big in the 20th century Fox?"
Since the completion of "Death Row", Rick and Henry have reached a consensus. This time is to let Hugo completely relax and rest. Therefore, including Joseph and Samora, they hardly talked to Hugo about any work matters, just Occasionally send a script for Hugo to read.
"Hehe, it’s not that you think too much. It’s certainly not that easy for the big guys from these big film production companies to make friends." Rick was not surprised by Hugo’s words, "Kevin will be with you, “Love is the only one”. "The meeting of the crew was not deliberately arranged in time, but it will never be a complete coincidence." As one of the helms of Endeavour's elite brokerage company, Rick's vision and methods are naturally not idlers. "I was guessing Kevin before. When will he really take the shot? After waiting until now, you can see his patience. It seems that this time he is confident."
Rick sighed there, and Hugo was confused. The main reason is that Hugo knows nothing about the recent situation, so he has no way of judging. After sighing, Rick explained, “In recent months, the cooperation between 20th Century Fox and our company can be said to be very close. It can be seen that Kevin has given enough to the artists under our company. I’m talking about packaged cooperative projects like creative artist brokerage companies.”
"I forgot to tell you that Twentieth Century Fox took over the North American distribution rights of'Death Row' With a long-term cooperation, all the works produced by DreamWorks in the next two years will be released by 20th Century Fox, but both parties are in the trial stage, let’s take a look at the "Death Row" first."
After the veil of mystery was lifted, the tip of the iceberg was revealed in front of Hugo. Hugo had mentioned the issue of distribution rights with Steven before, but now DreamWorks is still in the early stage of energy accumulation, the issue of distribution is not significant, but even so, Steven has begun to think about long-term issues.
It now appears that the cooperation between Twentieth Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and DreamWorks is not that simple.
"However, the film's video tape distribution rights and overseas distribution rights are still being contested." Rick's words made Hugo laugh directly, "Are you kidding me?"
But Rick shook his head, "No, I'm not kidding." Hugo was completely stunned. A literary and artistic work like "Death Row" clearly shows that there is no box office driving force, and the film companies are actually competing. The right to distribute such a work? Moreover, listening to Rick's tone, it seems that in the 20th century Fox won the North American distribution rights after some competition. The world is changing too fast, and Hugo can't keep up with the speed.
It’s just that Hugo has forgotten that the hustle and bustle of the last few months, the attention of "Death Convict Walk" has broken the table. With only 11 million US dollars in "Death Convict Walk", there is almost no doubt about the realization of profitability. .
"Columbia Pictures and Paramount are in competition. Of course, Twentieth Century Fox will not give up either." Rick didn't say much, but simply revealed a few words.
But just these few words, Hugo can feel that the two new Hollywood players, DreamWorks and Endeavour Elite Brokerage, are gradually increasing their competitiveness. "Rick, you should know that for a production company, distribution ability is the key to victory or defeat. Just like a big company like Twentieth Century Fox, they may only produce ten movies a year, but they release movies. It may be twice or three times as much. This is the real right to speak."
"Of course I know this, but why are you saying this?" Rick frowned. Obviously he didn't understand Hugo's words. The distribution rights have nothing to do with the brokerage company.
"I mean, maybe, DreamWorks should pay attention to this one." Hugo knows that the cooperation between DreamWorks and Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is increasing, and the future strong rise of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is definitely indispensable to the success and brilliance of DreamWorks. History has changed. As one of them, he is working hard to contribute his own strength. Since Michael Jackson can wash his innocence 15 years in advance, why can't the destiny of DreamWorks be changed?
"The cooperative relationship between DreamWorks and us is getting closer, and the relationship between the actors and the film company, you know better than me." Hugo's words silenced Rick and pondered carefully.
As an actor and singer, Hugo's talent is beyond doubt, but Hugo also knows that his overall view is lacking, and he is not convincing enough in terms of company management and blueprint planning. Just like when David Geffen was persuaded to invest "before sunrise", when Hugo and Steven Spielberg raised the issue of rights, the persuasiveness was also very weak. This is Hugo's weakness.
But Hugo knows the future industry trends and development trends, so he hopes to rely on his strong friendship with Rick, and after persuading Rick, Rick will complete the follow-up promotion.
Rick understands Hugo. Although he lacks the overall picture, his sensitivity to details and development trends far exceeds that of ordinary people. Hugo is definitely not aimless, "Hugo, I think I probably know what you mean. But I need to clarify my thinking.” Hugo’s words seemed to touch a little idea in Rick’s mind. He felt that this might be another turning point in the company’s development, but there was no way to sort it out for a while. He needed a little time. "However, I can be sure that Twentieth Century Fox really hopes to be able to cooperate with you."
Rick brought the topic back again, and Hugo turned his attention away, "Did they submit the script to you?"
"This is their cleverness. The scripts submitted by other companies recently overwhelmed me, but they didn't submit a script to... Well, to be precise, it was submitted to you." Rick thought of this. , Could not help but laughed, "They currently give me a lot of scripts, some for Alex, some for Charlize, some for Leo, some for Tom, but... there is no one for you."
"Hmm..." No need for Rick to explain further, Hugo also noticed the anomaly. Obviously, it was not because 20th Century Fox did not want to cooperate with Hugo, but because 20th Century Fox was systematically advancing his plan.
"Didn’t you tell me before that they have several big projects in production? I have explored in many ways, and what is certain is that there is indeed a big project, but the progress of this project is not fast, what I have heard The news is that there are some problems with the investment funds, but I don’t believe it. On the contrary, the gossip said that there were some problems with the script, mainly because the story of "Future Water World" completely collapsed. Now major production projects seem to be more careful. Be cautious, I still feel more credible."
Rick summed up the situation in a few words, "The most likely thing is that Kevin wants you to star in this project, but... who knows? Anyway, we are the one taking the initiative, so we just wait for them to come to the door. Now.” Rick seemed very relaxed, which is also Rick’s self-confidence.
Rick believes that as long as Hugo talks about making a new film, the script will fly like a snow film, and Hugo doesn't have to worry about the next work. The initiative is held in his hands from beginning to end, or, to be more precise, in Hugo's hands.
"Big projects..." Hugo slightly nodded his chin. In fact, after the fiasco of the "Future Water World", the major film companies were relatively cautious in their investment. The famous ones are "Tornado (, "Men in Black", "Air Force One (.. One, "Jurassic Park 2", "Titanic" and so on. You can use one hand. Count it out.
Could it be that the project mentioned by Twentieth Century Fox was "Titanic"?
But Hugo immediately denied this idea, because "Titanic" is a James Cameron project, he is one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood today, although this project encountered a lot of difficulties in the preparation process, It also includes the obstruction of funds, but if it is really this project, Kevin is absolutely impossible to cover up like this, and it is impossible for James to have no news at all.
But Hugo just guessed and didn't think deeply. As Rick said, they just waited for 20th Century Fox to make a move.
"As for the selection of the next work, you don’t have to worry about it for the time being. If there are good works, I will send the script over." Rick can guess from Hugo’s actions today, although Hugo did not Said that he can go to work again, but at least it is not exclusive, "By the way, I received an interesting call yesterday, "Friends" from the TV station, you know, the current ratings competitor of "Happy Family", They called to invite you to be objective on this drama."
"What? They really called you?" Hugo was very surprised. Although Jennifer sent out invitations twice before and after, Hugo actually didn't take it seriously, but now it seems that this is not a joke between friends. That's it.
"So, you know about it?" Rick said in surprise.
"Yes, Jennifer Aniston and I are friends. She asked me about it before." Hugo simply replied, and Rick immediately reacted. Jennifer and Cameron are working together "Love is the only" .
Rick stroked his chin, thinking as he said, "So, what do you think? Would you like to appear in a TV series?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Cheerful time always flies quickly. Hugo spent a whole day with Cameron in New York, and then worked with Cameron on the crew for another day. Obviously, Cameron was really hard to concentrate with Hugo. Later, in order not to affect Cameron's follow-up work, Hugo left New York and returned to Los Angeles.
