Hugo and Steven Spielberg only had time to say a few words, and Steven showed a regretful expression, "It seems that you are really too popular tonight." Hugo was full of heads. Question mark, and then turned to look past Steven's line of sight, and saw Kevin Pence, Shirley Lansing and James Cameron coming together.
Hugo reluctantly turned his head to look at Steven, "How do you know they came for me, can't they come to say hello to you?" Steven took a noncommittal sip of champagne, as if this was to Hugo. Hugo replied, Hugo could only twitch the corner of his mouth, "Are you sure you didn't come here to greet them specifically?"
Faced with Hugo’s "accusation", Steven looked innocently behind Hugo, "Hey, guys, you interrupted my in-depth conversation with Hugo. If you have nothing important, you can make an appointment. The time period after ten minutes."
Shirley’s hearty voice came from behind Hugo, "If I remember correctly, this is Oscar night, not DreamWorks’ office." Shirley walked over, gave Steven a face gift, and smiled. He stretched out his right hand to Hugo, "Hey, stranger, we finally met."
"Hope is a good start." Hugo also took Shirley's right hand, and smiled in a face-up salute.
As the chief executive officer of Paramount, Shirley just took office in 1994. The first important decision she made after taking office was to approve the cooperation between Tom Cruise and "Mission Impossible", and then agreed. K’s request, in cooperation with Rick, completed a series of cooperative transactions, including Hugo’s role in the "Seven Deadly Sins" with a super high pay of 10 million U.S. dollars. Although Hugo and Paramount have not cooperated yet, Paramount has always been very friendly to Endeavour Elite Brokerage due to Shirley's relationship.
"Congratulations, tonight belongs to you." Kevin immediately shook Hugo's right hand and congratulated him with a smile on his face.
James also politely smiled and congratulated Hugo, "Excellent work." But compared to the enthusiasm of Kevin and Shirley, James clearly has the upper hand in politeness. It's not that this is wrong, but that the gap can be felt.
Hugo naturally wouldn’t mind. He expressed his gratitude in accordance with social etiquette, and his attitude has not changed in particular. Steven’s voice interrupted their politeness, “It seems that there is no more place for me here, I think I A cup of Long Island Iced Tea is needed.” Steven’s teasing made all of them laugh, and then he gave Hugo a meaningful sight before turning and leaving.
Hugo knew that Steven was implying: These three people in front of him are absolutely nothing but going to the Palace of Three Treasures.
Even Steven gave up his position consciously. At this time, the guests of the entire Sunset Tower Hotel did not come up to disturb Hugo. Paramount No. 1 plus 20th Century Fox No. 1 plus top director. , This lineup is enough for everyone to keep a distance and watch the changes. This also gave Hugo a rare breathing space.
"Are there any special arrangements to celebrate tonight?" Kevin cut into the topic very naturally, and said casually, "I just received a call from Alan. He arranged a party on his private yacht. You plan to Are you here?"
Compared to Shirley and James, Kevin and Hugo are also old acquaintances, so they speak a lot easier, and the smile on Hugo's face is relatively relaxed. "Allen's phone call is really a surprise. His confidential work It's in place, I didn't even hear any wind."
Alan Strello just called and said that he had arranged a private party. All the people invited were members of the "Independence Day" crew-most of them were Hugo's friends, celebrating tonight for Hugo. victory. As the head behind the "Independence Day", Kevin was naturally invited.
"After all, none of us is sure whether the final result is worth celebrating, are we?" Kevin's ridicule made several people smile.
"It seems that this private party has no place for us. This is really a pity." Shirley took the conversation calmly, still with a decent smile on her face, "However, I think that if you advance Leaving the Oscars night, more people will be disappointed."
"Mel Gibson wouldn't want to hear this." Hugo nodded his chin towards Shirley, and even James couldn't help laughing.
"Presumably everyone is curious now, what is the next work of the new Oscar actor?" Shirley said this to Kevin.
Hugo didn't even interrupt to answer. Kevin looked at Hugo and showed a bright smile, "'Independence Day', I think everyone knows the answer." Kevin had an unassuming smile on his face. Shirley's look of annoyance and envy, just right to make the atmosphere fully alive.
"Kevin, you know that I don't want to hear such an answer." Shirley said regretfully, and naturally fell on Hugo. "The shooting of'Independence Day' just ended not long ago, didn't it? So? What’s the next plan? I’m going to take a rest for a while, or do I get busy with the band’s work? Not long ago, I also chatted with a few friends at dinner. It seems that glory to death has not been heard for a long time, if this time Starting a brand new tour, please be sure to inform me in advance, I hope I can grab the tickets in time."
I have to say that Shirley’s art of speaking is very clever. In fact, Hugo already knows that Shirley, Kevin and James joined hands to qualify, obviously for the "Titanic", but Shirley did not mention it directly, but Cleverly shifted to the topic of the band, which easily pulled the distance between her and Hugo.
The smile on Hugo's face was slightly outlined, "I hope, I hope Glory to death can return to the stage soon, but I guess it will take some time, the band does not want to break the "third is charming" Law.” There are only three things. The United States is also obsessed with this principle. It often thinks that the third time is the luckiest and most beautiful. This is the most important watershed for rock bands.
"Oh, I guess many young volcanoes will be disappointed." The regret in Shirley's eyes looks very sincere. Apart from her identity as the CEO of Paramount, she is almost a perfect music lover.
"But it should be good news for you." Kevin said straightforwardly, "To be precise, it is good news for all film companies." Kevin made some playful complaints. People can't help but tolerate it.
Shirley pressed her lips and clicked her chin, and groaned for a while, "I can't deny it." This made both Kevin and Hugo chuckle. Shirley looked at Hugo again and said casually. To, "So what do you think of Hugo? Are you interested in re-investing in the production of a brand new work? Not long ago, James gave you a script. What do you think?"
The whole topic naturally switched to "Titanic" without making Hugo feel uncomfortable at all. From this point of view, Shirley and Kevin are much smarter than Mark Canton. No wonder Shirley led Paramount to create the glory of the next ten years. Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox teamed up to create the "Titanic". This was Paramount's wisest choice. However, Twentieth Century Fox originally had the absolute initiative to split the cake out, so we have to say Kevin The courage is still inferior to Shirley, the strong woman.
Hugo was not surprised at all. He shrugged, "Sorry, I have been very busy the past few days. I haven't gotten a chance to read the script."
"I remember you have been emphasizing that the script is the most important thing, so why don't you read it right away after you get the script?" James, who was always silent and almost invisible, suddenly came out with a sentence, the tone of this sentence is very relaxed. Soft, but it feels thorny and uncomfortable no matter how you hear it.
Shirley and Kevin exchanged glances, and there was still some helplessness in their eyes. Hugo did not notice the two of them. Instead, he looked at James and said with a smile, "Maybe it’s because I don’t have time, maybe because I’m not interested, maybe because I’ve read it, but I haven’t finished it yet. , Don’t want to draw conclusions too early. What do you think? Mr. Cameron."
Although James is strong, Hugo admires the giant who has repeatedly created box office miracles, but now standing in front of James, Hugo is not timid or short of breath Some unhurried words. James' face changed, and he almost lost control of his temper.
James had a bad temper. After he became famous, he was unwilling to suppress his temper. His bad temper made him a lot of enemies in the academy. When "Titanic" won the Oscar for Best Picture, James stood arrogantly on the stage. And arrogantly said that "I am the king of the world", until ten years later, he did not like the academy. Later, "Avatar" lost to "The Hurt." for many reasons, but it is undeniable. , James' own personality makes enemies everywhere, which is also one of the reasons.
"If you are not interested, then this is a good thing." James directly said his thoughts. Perhaps deep in his heart, he always refused to accept Hugo, a super big name, to join his crew because of this. It is a powerful challenge to his authority. Especially today, Shirley and Kevin have always maintained humility and politeness towards Hugo, which made James realize that Hugo is a person who really has the right to challenge his control of the crew.
The unobstructed words of James suddenly made Kevin's face a little ugly, but Shirley responded in time and said with a smile, "Wow, it seems that the chemical reaction has begun to work, this brainstorming The speed of the beginning has made it impossible for Kevin and I to keep up. If this kind of spark is projected on the script and the film, it is really unimaginable. I have already begun to look forward to your cooperation."
