Steven raised his eyes and looked at Hugo carefully, not knowing when he started, he had finished thinking, and his attention shifted to Hugo. Hugo also noticed the gaze falling on him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Steven’s eyes hidden under the bushy eyebrows, "Hugo, you once thought, I will ask you these opinions, and you Will you talk to me in that kind of...sounding tone?"
Hugo was stunned. At this time, Steven’s expression seemed very serious, and the majesty of the entire superiors appeared again. It seems that Hugo’s words just now were a bit taken for granted. In Steven’s view, obviously Some are condescending, which makes Steven very uncomfortable.
However, Hugo did not panic. Instead, he smiled, "You mean, when I was shooting on'Schindler's List', I pointed directly at you and yelled at you?" This sentence is completely out of the question. Steven expected that he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "No, I must have never thought of such a scene at that time."
Steven lowered his head and chuckled, and then he said, "Two weeks ago, the three of us went to Las Vegas. In fact, it was because of the distribution department. We are investigating some small distribution companies. Is it necessary to establish an issuing department and then make an acquisition."
Hugo was very surprised. Steven asked his opinion only today, but in fact they have already begun to prepare.
"However, you also know that DreamWorks does not have the support of a consortium, and everything depends on ourselves. We are also carefully reviewing whether this is necessary." Steven's words made Hugo lightly tap his chin.
Although it seems that the Big Three of DreamWorks is rich in wealth, Hollywood is a Wall Street game, and movements are calculated in units of billions. This is also the reason why large film companies must rely on consortium support, because personal wealth is just a drop in the bucket. At present, the first batch of independently produced films by DreamWorks has been launched one after another. It is conceivable that their funds will be even more tight.
Perhaps, in history, DreamWorks has also considered establishing its own distribution department, but in the end it gave up because it did not have enough confidence in the ratio of pay to return.
"After listening to your opinions today, I think we might have different views." Steven did not comment on Hugo's opinions, but simply mentioned them.
It can be seen that although Steven discussed such an important and confidential issue with Hugo today, he still has reservations. Even so, this is already amazing enough, coupled with the Industrial Light and Magic incident, the two huge investment projects of 20th Century Fox, etc., all this means that Hugo has officially entered the center circle of Hollywood power. , He even has the ability to make changes to the future development of the industry.
Hugo did not intend to continue discussing in depth, because he has self-knowledge, just like in Industrial Light and Magic. Everything he knows is fur and all is on paper. These are not the areas he is good at, so there is no need not to. Know how to pretend.
"So, are you not interested in that project of James?" Steven smiled and changed the subject. It can be seen that he has a lot of thoughts, but for this kind of bigwig-level figure, almost every day There are things he needs to worry about, he can adjust it himself.
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why, do you want me to be interested? Or are you a lobbyist again?" Steven's contacts are all over Hollywood, and everyone knows Steven and Yu. Guo's relationship is also a teacher and a friend, so Steven has been asked as a lobbyist several times, which is really dumbfounding.
Steven immediately showed an expression of disgust, "I'm not so casual. Even if I want to be a lobbyist, I will persuade you to join the'Men in Black' first."
"Aha, I have forgotten this one." Hugo nodded repeatedly, "So the script has been revised now?"
"Why, are you really interested?" Steven immediately smiled, "I originally thought that if you took the "Independence Day" work, you would not be interested in commercial films in the short term."
"Why are you always willing to label me? I'm really an easy-going actor." Hugo shrugged innocently, but in exchange for Steven's speechless white eyes, Hugo didn't hold back his laugh. "I’m serious! However, in the script of'Men in Black', I don’t know if you have considered changing the model, such as a black man and a white partner. I personally think that Will Smith should be very good. Audience."
In fact, at least one-third of the credit for the success of "Men in Black" should be credited to Will. Although Will’s box office appeal is no longer in 2009, and like Tom Cruise, he has fallen into a low ebb, but the "Men in Black" series is still his trump card, he is humorous, approachable, and The heroic image has been loved by countless people.
If you change a leading actor, Hugo is not sure whether "Men in Black" can still succeed.
Steven picked up the wine glass and smiled, "So, are you an opinion expert now?"
Obviously, Steven does not like Hugo to interfere with his decision. After all, Hugo has nothing to do with the crew of "Men in Black". If Hugo is the leading actor of "Men in Black", I suggest opposing the actors. This is understandable, Hugo. Now I have such qualifications, but obviously this is not the case.
Hugo raised his hands and surrendered, "Sorry, I have crossed that line. I will save my opinion until tomorrow and have a good talk with Roland." Hugo's joking words made the slightly serious atmosphere relaxed again. When he got up, Steven also chuckled lightly, and the two of them didn't continue on the topic.
After a meal, it was early ten o'clock. When Hugo and Steven left "cut", a group of paparazzi swarmed at the door and quickly pressed the flashlight in their hands.
For such a situation, the two were well prepared. Today, they did not deliberately hide their travel. Hugo was recognized by other people at the entrance of the restaurant, so it is not surprising that the paparazzi learned about it. Both Hugo and Steven were calm. Surrounded by paparazzi, after smiling and saying goodbye, Hugo stood there and watched Steven get in the car and drive away.
The paparazzi frantically pressed the shutter at the car where Steven left. A small group of paparazzi swarmed towards their car and quickly caught up with Steven. The remaining small group of paparazzi surrounded Hugo. , For fear that one would not pay attention, Hugo left.
But obviously the paparazzi had miscalculated. Hugo showed no signs of being anxious. The car Samora was driving was never seen, and Hugo actually started walking along the Wilshire Boulevard, which made the paparazzi panic.
"Hugo, what did you talk with Steven tonight?"
"Is it about the next work you are about to collaborate on?"
"I heard that James Cameron also appeared just now. Is he in contact with you?"
"During the filming of'Independence Day', you made time to have a meal with Steven, but you were unwilling to participate in the Golden Globes and Grammys. What is the reason for this?"
"Will DreamWorks and you cooperate again?"
The voice of the question was accompanied by flashing lights swarming in all directions, but Hugo never answered, just walked slowly along the street, dragging a large group of paparazzi hula la la and walked forward, the scene was magnificent.
"Hugo, Hugo, Hugo..." A series of hurried and sharp shouts came out, and Hugo saw the short and thin green face, impressively Brian Heavison and Austin Wiche Dirk these two underage paparazzi.
"Hey, guys." Hugo actually responded, smiling at the two little guys, which made the other paparazzi around depressed. Hugo still doesn't remember the names of the two children, but at least he has an impression on his face.
Brian quickly followed Hugo. Although there were still seven or eight paparazzi trailing around at this time, half of them passed to Steven, so the surroundings were already a lot looser, "Hugo, you tonight Why did you eat with Steven?"
"A friend's private party." Hugo did not evade any more, and replied with a smile on his face. Austin next to him was still taking pictures and shouted, "Hugo, smile, smile!" Hugo looked at Austin's lens. In the past, even more than a scissors hand, Austin immediately pressed the shutter to record this moment.
"Is it just a gathering of friends?" Brian reconfirmed when he saw the needle.
"Yes Hugo nodded, smiled and pointed to the restaurant behind him," David showed off this restaurant to us before, and then Steven and I have been very greedy. Today It was so late to book a place, so we rushed over to make up for this regret. "
Hugo explained the whole situation clearly in a few words, and the other paparazzi around closed their mouths, "You don't want to continue with me, I just want to take a walk home. So, I think you can stop work first. To prevent your parents from worrying all the time."
After Hugo finished speaking, both Brian and Austin laughed, "Thank you, we will go back soon." Brian quickly said, "Hugo, I hope you have a good night's dream." Then he pulled on. Austin, standing still, did not continue to follow.
Hugo waved to the two people, still walking forward calmly. The remaining paparazzi followed a few more steps, but found that no matter what they asked, Hugo had no intention to speak. After thinking about it, they had achieved their goal, and there was no point in continuing to follow. So Lu One after another stopped.
It's just that they are not treated so well. Hugo didn't pay attention to them at all, and continued to move forward on his own. The paparazzi watched Hugo's back for a while, and then disappeared like birds and beasts.
