The excitement of Rodeo Drive can be said to be a rare spectacle even in Hollywood, where countless myths are born, and with the subsequent fermentation of powerful influence, people call it the "Burberry Miracle." As Burberry has gradually become the world's top fashion brand again, the "Burberry Miracle" has become a highlight in history, and it has also become an important turning point for the fashion circle to become a star.

But for Hollywood, the "Burberry Miracle" has a more profound meaning. They also felt the powerful aura of Hugo from another side, which also made the competition between various film projects more intense. Although it is said that "Independence Day" has not been completed for two weeks, the hope that it will become the script of Hugo's next project is enough to flood Rick's office.

"Hugo's first work after the first Oscar winner", just this gimmick is enough to make most of the projects rush, even the 20th Century Fox in the "Independence Day" propaganda process, secretly changed the concept. With "Oscar-level visual effects, Oscar-level performance shock" to attract attention.

Just like Barry Meyer's considerations, other major companies are actually competing in secret, whether you are fighting for me.

But one thing that is not too strange has attracted the attention of a few people. After the Oscars, Hugo was extremely low-key, as if he was the one who lost the awards ceremony-even the "Burberry miracle", in fact, Hugo actually stayed on the scene for less than 30 minutes, and then Hugo left through the back door.

And in the recent period, when the major film companies tried to contact Hugo, they could only contact Rick and Joseph, and almost no one had a direct conversation with Hugo. Of course, strictly speaking, this is also normal, because this is where the job responsibilities of agents and managers lie. It is impossible for Hugo to see all the scripts in person.

So, this little detail was only noticed by a few people, but they didn't care.

The chaos of Oscar's glory to death that night was strictly blocked by Henry. The follow-up news including Pedro and Alfonso was also completely blocked. No one noticed the glory to death abnormality-the band in the past year There is almost no activity for a long time, even the paparazzi can hardly find clues.

This is a good thing for Glory to Death. The last thing they need is the media to join in the fun.

But this is not a problem for the film company. Compared to Hugo, they are more willing to deal with Rick. Hugo's picky and strictness is too difficult to deal with. Although Rick is cunning and deep, he is ultimately an agent. , After all, is a businessman, which means that you can negotiate, trade, and negotiate. Mark Canton is like that.

Mark is in a really good mood recently, and it can even be said to be the happiest period of time in the past month, because he and Rick have made several deals.

Hugo rejected the "Air Force One". Although this result disappointed Mark, he had expected such a result a long time ago. Choosing Harrison Ford can be said to be no suspense. However, Mark immediately submitted the "Men in Black" proposal to Rick-for the third time, not only did he and Rick eat twice, but Steven also called Hugo specifically, but in the end Hugo still rejected the "Men in Black", without even giving a reason, but felt that it was "not suitable", which made Mark completely dumbfounded.

If this is the result, then Columbia Pictures has returned empty-handed, which is naturally bad news for Mark.

But interestingly, two days after Hugo rejected Steven, Mark heard that Steven went to Malibu to visit Hugo himself. After returning, he told Mark that the protagonist of "Men in Black" locked Will- Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. When he was puzzled, Mark asked Steven insider. Steven didn't say much, only that it was Hugo's opinion.

At first, Mark thought that Hugo was just working for the benefits of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, but then Mark had a meeting with the company to discuss it, and at the same time inquired about some news, only then discovered that Hugo was not aimless at all, and he refused. The "Men in Black" project is not because you don’t like it, but because it’s "not suitable." Hugo believes that Will and Tommy Lee are two partners, one old and one young, one black, one white, and one harmonious partner. It will add a lot to the film and create conditions for its success.

what does this mean? Means that "Men in Black" has been recognized by Hugo's fulcrum golden hand, and is very likely to achieve great success? It may be so, but it is not the point. This means that Columbia Pictures has obtained the opportunity to further cooperate with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and Hugo. Hugo will help out this time. Of course, it is not because of Mark or Columbia Pictures’ face, but because of Steven. It is the producer of "Men in Black", so if you seize this opportunity, the once-eliminated connection between Hugo and Columbia Pictures will be connected again.

Although Mark lacks in the overall situation, the successful case of Fox in the 20th century is right in front of him. It is absolutely impossible for him to ignore. After careful consideration, Mark immediately agreed to Hugo's proposal, and the cast of "Men in Black" was thus determined.

However, Mark did not make a lot of publicity, just like the previous 20th Century Fox, making a fortune in silence, the news of the formation of the "Men in Black" crew did not even cause much movement.

Mark made a special call to Rick and confirmed this cooperation. Unexpectedly, Rick took the initiative to bring up a script "My Best Friend's Wedding". In fact, this script was handed to Sandra Bullock by Columbia Pictures, and Charlize Theron was also considered. Of course, not only Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, other brokerage companies are also in negotiations.

Mark was very surprised that Rick would be interested in this script, because "My Best Friend's Wedding" is a romantic comedy. After the script was released, the heroine was quickly determined, and the high-profile comeback Julia Roberts became The heroine, and Julia, relying on her strong contacts and status in the circle, is also equivalent to half a producer, and gave a lot of opinions on the movie. It can be said that this work revolves around Julia, and even the protagonist Demont Moroni (.) was appointed by Julia.

However, this work is quite special. The story revolves around two women. In addition to the core of Julia's role, another woman can also be regarded as the heroine, and the degree of importance is definitely not inferior to Julia. Once the casting is wrong , The whole work will not achieve the expected results, and it will probably be broken.

Because of Julia's joining and the work itself has attracted much attention, Ronald Bass, who once wrote the "Rain Man" script, personally wrote the script and served as the producer. This brings the budget of "My Best Friend's Wedding" to 46 million, not to mention a comedy movie, it is already possible to shoot an action movie with good effects, such as "Life and Death". The budget is only 25 million U.S. dollars.

Therefore, the crew paid more attention to the other heroine, and the script was handed to Endeavour Elite Agency, but they never had any hope. Because Charlize has always insisted on polishing his acting skills, and the rigor of selecting the script is not inferior to Hugo; although Sandra has a more consistent temperament, because this work has already set the first heroine, Julia Roberts, Sang Della is three years older than Julia, so the setting seems too biased.

Mark does not think Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company will cooperate with them on this project, and more attention is devoted to other brokerage companies. but now……

Rick was actually fighting for this role for Cameron Diaz, which surprised Mark, because Cameron is now shooting a work in Minnesota, which is why he did not include Cameron as a candidate at the beginning. The reason for the scope. However, now Mark is overwhelmed by ecstasy after the accident. In the twentieth century, Fox started to cast a net around Hugo in order to cooperate with Hugo. Among them, he collaborated with Cameron on "Love is the only". Now, without waiting for Mark to cast the net, the opportunity for cooperation will automatically come to the door. How could Mark be unhappy!

However, Mark did not rush for success, because he knew that Julia's right to speak in the cast of "My Best Friend's Wedding" cannot be ignored. This is the status of a top star in the crew. Maybe they will not interfere with the running of the crew, but they are capable of changing everything. Simply put, if Julia does not agree with Cameron to join the crew, then this cooperation will be difficult to achieve-of course, even if Julia does not agree, Mark will do his best to persuade Julia. The aura of these superstars represented by Julia is a double-edged sword. This is also an important reason why Joe Schumacher and James Cameron have been taboo against HugoMark is still the first to stay stable. After staying in Rick, she asked Julia for her opinion. After watching "Ghost in Disguise", Julia nodded and agreed to Cameron's joining.

Therefore, in just a few days, although Hugo rejected the "Air Force One" and "Men in Black" successively, Mark knew it from the bottom of his heart. At present, the "Titanic" is the closest to Hugo. The work, whether it is the name of the director James or the investment of 200 million US dollars, is enough to make this work another giant after the "Future Water World", the fusion of Hugo and the "Titanic". I am unsurpassed by most other works. Relatively speaking, after Columbia Pictures missed the direct cooperation with Hugo, it started close cooperation with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, which was enough to make Mark smile.

Of course, Mark knows that his every move is closely watched by competitors, but he also knows that the truth is unpredictable, so he simply does not hide it, but makes his competitors have to think more. Fan.

From Barry to Mark, from Warner Bros. to Columbia Pictures, Hollywood can definitely be said to be the Eight Immortals who cross the sea and show their magical powers recently. Everyone’s eyes are locked on Hugo, and he is looking forward to his next work. It’s just that It seems that there is still no clear context.
