Hugo looked at the stack of documents that Rick took out of his briefcase. These were not scripts, but only a small piece of paper. They should be proposals for various movie projects. www/Hugo picked up the top one, but looked at Rick and asked, "They know that I will definitely not consider taking new projects before the tour ends, and even after the tour ends, I I also need to rest and adjust. I'm not Clark Kent, why did they come to Berlin?"

"It is because they know that you are currently on tour and will not discuss new film projects for the time being, so they are coming to Berlin." Rick's words made Hugo stunned. His mind didn't turn around, Rick. Then explained, "Because Berlin is the only place where they can discuss movies with you publicly in a short period of time."

Oscar also sent out an invitation to Hugo not long ago, but Hugo never gave a positive answer, not sure if he can attend the award ceremony this year. As the winner of last year's actor, according to convention, this year Hugo is the honorary guest of the queen. This is not only a tradition, but also has a great effect on the Oscar ratings. However, due to the ongoing tour, Hugo is not sure whether he can be there, so the TV station, which broadcasts the Oscars, is actively negotiating with Rick.

In fact, not to mention the Oscars, the Grammy, which is about to kick off, may still be absent from the glory to the death of the award-winning hotspot. When Henry was interviewed by the media, he could only say that he would try his best to arrange time. He also hoped that Glory to Death could appear on the Grammy Awards Ceremony because this year is very important. Regardless of whether Glory to Death can win awards, they The new rock and roll power represented by Grammys is an important part of the music industry.

Therefore, compared to those uncertain futures, Berlin is not only the closest in time, but also the most reliable choice.

Hearing Rick’s words, Hugo did not rejoice, but raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not comment not because he had become accustomed to it, but because he knew that these big guys are not profitable. In these top big guys or Wall Street In the eyes, he is just a commodity.

Hugo lowered his head and opened the first document in his hand. As he expected, this is not a script, but a proposal. Rick’s explanation came in his ear, “This project is from Columbia Pictures. In the past month, Mark Canton has always had a lot of big and small actions, and the cooperation projects between our company and Columbia Pictures have gradually increased. I guess Mark wants you to be able to perform in this project."

"Guess?" Hugo noticed this subtle difference.

Rick nodded, "I have been using your tour as an excuse to reject many project invitations in the past few months, and this is still the case. But in private, I am filtering and reviewing some projects myself, hoping to take the initiative Power is in your hands." This is a game, a more advanced game. At present, Hollywood has only the three major brokerage companies that have the initiative in this game, and Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is currently experimenting. The only artist with such a bargaining chip is Hugo. "These are just my own speculations. I haven't got the exact answer as to how the specific production companies think about it."

Hugo nodded slightly, did not say anything, just flipped through the file in his hand, and finally put it aside. This action surprised Rick a little, because he deeply knew that Mark was completely confident in this project, and he also thought that Hugo would be interested. He did not expect that Hugo would simply put it next to him, "This is Not satisfied?" Rick said guessingly based on Hugo's expression.

Hugo replied in a deep voice, and then picked up the second document, which really surprised Rick. "Why?" This question made Hugo raise his head, and Rick had to explain. "Mark has done a lot in the past few months. After careful analysis, I found that he is really confident and seems to believe that you will definitely take the script. I looked at the proposal myself and think you should like it... "

Rick’s thoughts made Hugo chuckle, "Oh, why do you think I would like it?"

"Although the script lacks in connotation, the plot setting and world view background are very exciting. The setting of the male and female protagonists is relatively interesting, the villain is also very charming, and the supporting roles are also distinctive. They are far better than ordinary sci-fi commercial movies, and the most rare It’s because of the endless humor and laughter. Of course, if you want to get into the core idea of ​​the film, it is slightly weak, but as a commercial film, this is undoubtedly successful."

Rick's words made Hugo tap his chin slightly and expressed his approval. It must be admitted that Rick's grasp of the script now is indeed more and more accurate. As an agent, good vision is absolutely crucial.

At this time, the homepage of the project in Hugo's hand was impressively written, "The Fifth Element...Elm".

This film directed by French commercial film master Luc Besson is famous. It is also Luc's further attempt in Hollywood after "this killer is not too cold" to bring the film closer to Hollywood's business model, and it also incorporates him. The French in their bloodlines are romantic. The "Fifth Element" not only achieved a global box office of 270 million U.S. dollars, but also became an important milestone for Luc to gain a foothold in the international market. It also made the heroine Milla Jovovich. Fame in one fell swoop.

It is not unreasonable that Mark is so confident in this work. Luc has been conceiving the "Fifth Element" script since he was sixteen. The source of inspiration is the famous "Star Wars". After years of thinking and improvement, Luc's thinking is obviously mature. The "Fifth Element" combines commercial elements and comedic effects, and finally achieved a huge victory on a global scale.

Strictly speaking, the "Fifth Element" script is even better than "Independence Day".

What's more, Hugo also collaborated with Luc on the original soundtrack of the movie "This killer is not too cold". Obviously Hugo and Luc get along well. Now that Mark is pushing further and getting the two to work together is obviously icing on the cake. No wonder Mark is so proactive.

However, the shortcomings of this work are also very obvious. Because Luc tried to integrate his French humor into Hollywood business, the flaws in the story are obvious. It is like a French futuristic comedy, not a science fiction movie, but Comedy works are just better visual effects.

"Then what do you think is the difference between this work and'Independence Day'?" Hugo's project plan has only a framework structure and no specific story content. It looks like the magic of "Independence Day" I think the version is just a change of the main story line.

Hugo's words immediately made Rick choke. The work of "The Fifth Element" is of course very different from "Independence Day." Luc's endless creative ideas and ingenious humorous points all have strong personalities. mark. But from another perspective, the two works are exactly the same: the main story of a simple disaster film, relying on the protagonist's chemical effect to turn the tide.

"With'Independence Day' in front, and now with the'Fifth Element', the result is not good." Hugo's words made Rick unable to refute, unless the "Fifth Element" can replicate the box office of "Independence Day" The miracle must be at least 200 million U.S. dollars in North America, otherwise it will only be compared by the media, and it is almost impossible to replicate this miracle, because Rick clearly knows that the box office of Independence Day is entirely The result of the right time and place, but now the "Fifth Element" has no such advantage.

"What's more, if you take a closer look at Luc's previous works, the core characters of his works will always be women, girls with guns or girl-like women, this time is no exception." Hugo added at last, and then walked inward. Ke showed a smile, said nothing, lowered his head and continued to look at the second document.

Rick was taken aback, and finally let out a long sigh. He must admit that he had seen the "Fifth Element" script before, and his first reaction was that this work could replicate the miracle of "Independence Day", but he made two mistakes. The first was that the miracle was almost copied. It is impossible, and once unsuccessful, it will put oneself in another predicament; the second is that Hugo does not like to take repeated roles or scripts.

So, Hugo just flipped through the script and eliminated the script. This shouldn't feel strange.

It’s just that Rick still inevitably sighs, Hugo’s sensitivity to scripts can always amaze him, and even make him feel that he has been negligent in his work. Should this be a good thing or a bad thing?

If Mark knew about www.novelhall.com~ his confident work would be shot by Hugo, I don’t know how he would feel? More importantly, Hugo's criticality on the script is estimated to have increased in a short period of time. It seems that the proposals he brought this time are expected to be wiped out.

While Rick was thinking about it, Hugo really put the two scripts in the "Fifth Element" pile, then he pointed to a proposal in his hand, looked up and asked, "Why does this project appear here? ?"

Rick looked over and looked at it, "What do you mean?" Why can't this item appear here?

Hugo curled his lips, "Don't you see whose name is written in the screenwriter column? It is absolutely impossible for them to ask me to lead the role."

Rick's words couldn't help but paused, "Uh...this was given to me by Harvey. I think the script is very well-conceived. As for the screenwriter..." Rick couldn't remember who the screenwriter was for a while, and brought it over. Upon seeing it, he was stunned, and then showed a sarcasm, wry smile.

The screenwriter column says: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck.
