"So, Steven, you can tell me now, what the **** is going on, right?" After watching James leave with his obviously stiff back, Hugo looked back at Steven and frowned slightly.
Everything seemed too weird tonight. Everything happened between the sparks and flints. It took less than a quarter of an hour before and after James appeared to leave. The words about the "Titanic" also seemed very hasty, and there was no talk at all. To the point, Hugo is still at a loss.
"I don't know, I swear, I didn't participate in this matter, I really don't know what's going on." Steven solemnly defended.
But Hugo didn't believe it at all, staring at Steven with a doubtful realization, and then slightly nodded his chin, "Okay...well, if you say that..." But even so, Hugo still looked suspiciously. With Steven, there is no sign of giving up.
Steven Hugo's eyes made Steven irritable, and he raised his hands to surrender, "Hugo, first of all, I must emphasize that I don't like the way you question my eyes, although I am not a control freak like James. But I don't like others to challenge my authority, you know this, you know it very well." Steven stared wide-eyed and said to Hugo viciously.
In fact, Steven said something similar during the filming of "Schindler’s List", but now Steven’s deterrent against Hugo no longer exists, not only because the two are friends, but also because the two are now friends. The positions of individuals have gradually become equal.
Hugo shrugged and spread his hands innocently, as if saying "I did nothing", which made Steven very depressed.
"Well, maybe, maybe I told Kevin a little bit about it." Steven said helplessly. "You know, we have cooperated a lot recently. He attaches great importance to the James project. This is the second time. But I really didn’t know James would show up today, that’s the truth.”
"So, it's fake if you asked me to have something to do today?" Hugo was not angry, but looked at Steven with a smile.
Steven Hugo’s smile made him feel helpless, and he seemed helpless, “No, I’m really interested in seeing you today. But can we eat first? The Kobe beef here is all true. I never lied."
"Then let's taste the delicacy here first." Hugo spread his hands, and without further investigation, directly gave Steven the steps.
Although he and Steven are now friends, Hugo also knows that people like Steven who have been in the upper ranks for a long time are still used to taking the initiative by themselves. As Steven himself said, he and James are essentially the same kind of people. Hugo knows that getting along between friends also requires a bottom line. Hugo knew exactly where he was.
Although everything is very strange tonight, the strangest thing is precisely the fact that James invited Hugo to star in "Titanic".
As we all know, James likes to control all situations in his own hands, and he hates others to challenge his authority. He is the one and only power controller on the set, which is beyond doubt.
From the conversation just now, it can be seen that Hugo did not play the cards according to common sense, which obviously made James very dissatisfied, and he left without even getting into the main topic of the conversation. Had it not been for Steven at the scene, the atmosphere would have been tense, even tense.
Therefore, looking at the works of James as a director and producer, except for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is enabled by the "Terminator" series, he has never used big-name stars.
James prefers actors with small reputations and rising careers. It doesn’t matter whether they are second-tier or third-tier actors. Such actors have ambitions and desires for the future. Even without supervision, they will do their best to perform; and they have more than complete newcomers. A certain solid foundation and performance experience does not require the director to spend too much time on the scene to guide. The most important thing is that such an actor can be completely in his hands and things will not lose control.
James and Catherine Bigelow’s marriage fell apart because of the co-production of "strange.day"-or that this work was the last straw that crushed the camel. James was the producer and Catherine. As the director, the two people were always fighting for control on the set, and they ended up shooting both.
In the preparatory stage of "Titanic", the original male protagonists were Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey. At this time, neither of them can be regarded as famous. Both of them are the last two. A rookie who performed well in the year, and his acting skills have been recognized to a certain extent, the most important thing is to be handsome enough.
In the twentieth century, Fox advocated using Matthew, while James insisted on using Leonardo. In this war between director and production company, the winner is obvious.
But whether it's Leonardo or Matthew, it can't be Hugo.
Hugo is currently not only a second-line or third-line actor, but also the premier top actor in the entire Hollywood, the unprecedented 20 million film owner, and the first owner of the list of actors that any production company most hopes to cooperate with. It can be said that Hugo's influence on production companies and producers is unparalleled, just look at the crew of "Independence Day".
Therefore, if you cooperate with Hugo, James's authority in the crew will be challenged like never before. Even if Hugo does not directly challenge James in the crew, there will be no conflicts and disagreements-"Independence Day" has not had major problems so far, but this is still unacceptable for James.
The fact that James invited Hugo to star in "Titanic" is the strangest thing in itself.
Steven mentioned Kevin just now, obviously Kevin Pence, the leader of Twentieth Century Fox. "Titanic" was filmed by 20th Century Fox invested, but later due to the high investment, 20th Century Fox did not dare to take such a big risk-200 million US dollars investment, who knows whether there will be a first Two "Future Water World", so they found Paramount to work together to produce this work.
Judging from the current situation, it should be that Kevin hopes to use Hugo as the leading actor, so the 20th Century Fox’s plan in the past year or so makes sense, not only "Independence Day", but also "Titan". Nick". Kevin just wants to tie Hugo to the 20th Century Fox chariot-of course not forever, but taking advantage of Hugo’s peak career, to maximize the value of Hugo, this is the real Businessman character.
Kevin’s expectation for Hugo is very simple, that is, he wants to use Hugo’s huge market appeal to create a huge box office, especially for high-investment works such as "Titanic". Inviting Hugo to become one of them, in fact, It is tantamount to adding a piece of insurance to the movie.
What about James? He should be opposed. Although Hugo doesn’t know if James has taken a fancy to Leonardo, at least from today’s situation, James was temporarily persuaded by Kevin, otherwise he would not be willing to come and rain. Fruit conversation. It's a pity that the conversation process was beyond James's control, so he left the meeting angrily.
I just don't know what James thinks now. He still mentioned the script before leaving. It is impossible to predict how things will develop next. A super project like "Titanic" has never been so simple. The most direct example is "Future Water World".
Although there are many reasons for the ultimate failure of "Future Water World", the contradictions in the production process obviously cannot be ignored. While the film was still being filmed, the director and the actors quarreled constantly, and the temporary modification of the script made the screenwriter miserable. There were countless conflicts between the staff behind the scenes. Even the actors were glaring at each other. The actor Kevin Costner was ill and almost lost his life. The filming process suffered repeated weather disasters and the cost of shooting continued to rise... The whole contradiction continued to the end. The director Kevin Reynolds quit the filming two weeks ago. Vin Costner had no choice but to take over.
Not because there are too many stabbings in the crew, but because of such a huge crew, which involves too many interests and it is difficult to complete it in a simple three-word liquidation. Kevin Costner was already awarded the Oscar for best director at the time. However, Kevin Reynolds's two previous commercial films failed. The huge pressure and the contrast of power were all unstable factors in the heavy shooting process.
So no one can know how the "Titanic" will develop, especially in the 20th century Fox is worried that this work will become another "Future Water World". Both James and Twentieth Century Fox have their own positions and ideas. Both sides are cautious and hope to control the initiative in their own hands. How both sides find common ground and find solutions is also in the filming process. Problems that must be addressed squarely.
However, these situations are just Hugo's own guesses, and it is estimated that he still needs to go back and talk to Rick. Leaving aside the intricacies behind the scenes, what about Hugo himself? Does he want to star in "Titanic"? This is a very important question.
"Dear Hugo, the highlight of tonight is here, and I am ready." Steven's words interrupted Hugo's thoughts.
The chaos in Hugo's mind was only for a moment. He knew that it was not the time to think carefully, so he quickly came back to his senses, "Are you going to show off to David?" Hugo remembered that smartphones became popular. Many people are keen to take pictures with their mobile phones before eating, and then post them on social networks, and then look at Steven who is gearing up in front of them, and the smile on Hugo's face blooms.
At this point, Randy had placed the two plates in front of Steven and Hugo respectively, and said with a smile, "Please enjoy."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
