Hugo put the three scripts in his hand aside, Rick was stunned, and then he laughed, "Lang is going to be sad now. (800 Novel Network provides Txt free download) [..] Hugo raised his head and cast his gaze at Rick suspiciously. Rick had to explain, "The scripts just now belonged to Universal Pictures."

Hugo suddenly realized and shrugged, "I don't know, but why Universal's scripts are like this. I can't see the direction at all. It has nothing to do with personal grievances, but it is really a difficult challenge for the director to shoot such a work."

Rick’s smile is a little bit more fortunate. On the surface, Lang Meyer is now the CEO of Universal Pictures. The scenery is boundless, but only Lang himself knows the hardships. Now Lang does not have a clear direction for Universal Pictures’ plans. He wants to invest in high-cost works, but the board of directors always disagrees. -Cruise, Brad Pitt and other top actors are looking for a breakthrough, but the project's own strength is limited, so he is restrained.

The future direction of Universal Pictures is worrying. Of course, fortunately, this is not the part that Rick needs to worry about. Thinking of Lang's friendship in recent months, Rick will inevitably feel that in this profit-oriented circle, human relations have always become cold and merciless.

"But these are just my own speculations, not the notebook handed over by Universal, so the specific situation should be based on Lang." Rick added.

Having said that, Hugo knows that Rick’s preparations are definitely in place, and there should be no surprises under normal circumstances. While speaking, Hugo picked up the script in his hand, frowned and showed a dumbfounded expression to Rick, "You must be kidding me!"

Rick leaned over and took a look, his eyes couldn’t hide his surging smile, “No, I’m not kidding.” Rick sorted out his expression and explained it seriously, “Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount Now they are all in a dilemma, especially Kevin, the budget of'Titanic' has been overspending, and after the production progress has been seriously delayed, the intermittent shooting has been for nearly eight months, but the filming is still not finished. Read the full text of the latest chapter at present Twentieth Century Fox strictly blocked the news, and there was no rumors in the circle, but I took a look at the projects they were preparing recently..." Rick paused, shook his head, "The situation is not good."

It’s not uncommon for the entire production company to be locked into one work. For example, Carlock Films, which was bankrupted because of "Cutting Throat Island," MGM Films, which "Wind Whisperer ( became the last straw to crush the camel, and "Sinbad's Seven Seas Set Sail" (: Legend.of.the.seven.seas)” and “Escape from the island (the.island)” and the DreamWorks was forced to sell after two times of bankruptcy.

Of course, the 20th century Fox is still a long way from bankruptcy, but it is not surprising that due to the previous market downturn, their working capital has a bottleneck. Although works such as "Life and Death" and "Independence Day" made 20th Century Fox a lot of money, the black hole of "Titanic" has been devouring their flexible funds, and the scheduling in a short period of time is not effective. Quite normal phenomenon.

In fact, the 20th Century Fox is already very good. They still have enough space to prepare new projects. In 1997, Rick learned that at least four projects cost more than 60 million yuan. Although 20th Century Fox’s move was a stopgap measure to give shareholders more confidence and cover up the temporary internal difficulties, it can be seen from this detail that the 20th Century Fox has not yet reached the moment of embarrassment, but he is restrained. It is also inevitable.

Rick came to this conclusion only because several projects prepared by Fox in the twentieth century were lacking in confidence. Apart from the investment cost, there were almost no bright spots that could be drawn. This is very abnormal for a top film production company.

"However, Kevin actually didn't mention this project at all. I just thought it was very interesting, so I added it." Rick explained briefly, seeing the helplessness in Hugo's eyes, Rick was also a little embarrassed, "Why, Don’t you find it funny?"

"Ha! Ha! It's funny." Hugo peel replied without a smile, and Rick couldn't help laughing twice, and wiped the sweat from his palms on his thighs.

At this time, the project Hugo is holding has a very simple and clear name, "Living Fire Molten City (: literally translated as volcano, which obviously echoes with the glorious fan Young Volcano. This is the United States in the past two years. The most active group has attracted countless people both inside and outside the industry.

When Rick saw this project in Twentieth Century Fox, his first reaction was very funny. If Kevin really finds Hugo with this project, the topic gimmick will definitely be very happy. However, Kevin hasn't revealed any wind at the moment except for the "Life and Death 2" that was criticized by Hugo for nothing. Rick brought it today, just a mere joke.

Although the movie "Living Fire Molten City" is not well-known, Hugo has actually watched it, but now he can't remember the specific details. This typical disaster film appeared after the "Independence Day", "Tornado" and other movies set off a genre frenzy, but it is a pity that the plot is too monotonous and the sense of rhythm is too procrastinated, even unable to reach the genre. The average level, even the passing line, is very reluctant. It is a typical follow-up work, but it is not an anti-dog.

Although Hugo can't remember the specific story, just look at the project profile in hand and you will know that this is a work that completely imitates the "tornado". If Rick brought the "Fifth Element" here, and because the story of the script was simple, it was quite interesting, then the script of "Living Fire Molten City" seemed very nonsensical.

After reading several projects of Twentieth Century Fox, Hugo also agreed with Rick’s ideas. These projects obviously lacked ideas and courage. For example, the "Living Fire Molten City" project had an investment of 100 million U.S. dollars, but The entire project concept and cast lineup are obviously lacking in consideration, and the market positioning is just a copy of the "Independence Day" strategy. It can be seen that Fox is playing conservative cards in the 20th century.

It is not surprising if MGM or Universal Pictures chooses to be conservative; but under the leadership of Kevin in the past two years, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. are regarded as the most daring investment companies, which is not normal.

Looking at the last proposal left on the desktop, Hugo glanced at the thick stack of documents on the right hand side, while the left side was still empty with nothing, then glanced at Rick, as if to say, "Sure there are only these crooked melons. Dates are split?" Rick also understood what Hugo meant, and shrugged helplessly: I have worked with Hugo for a long time, and now Rick is more critical in choosing scripts.

Hugo curled his lips and picked up the last item, which belonged to Paramount's name. Just seeing the first name, Hugo's eyes could not help but brighten up, "John Wu (., maybe This name doesn’t seem to have any special features, as if one can find such a name casually among Asian Asians in Hollywood, but Hugo’s intuition has also noticed something. Looking down, sure enough, as he expected, this The project comes from the famous director.

"Change face (\\/off, the huge font draws the eye.

John Wu, is the action film director Wu who enjoys a high reputation throughout Asia. Yu. Sen. This one is in. country. delicious. Hong Kong has won numerous acclaims. In 1993, he officially entered Hollywood with the "ultimate target". Last year he filmed "Broken Arrow". It can be said that he is the best-developed Chinese artist currently in Hollywood.

If John’s culmination of Chinese-language movies is "heroic", then his culmination in Hollywood is "face changing".

Although "Changing Face" is an action movie, the ingenious story design, wonderful character settings, and precise rhythm control make people can’t help but make the case, especially the two starring John Travolta. The rivalry with Nicholas Cage is even more addictive. The wonderful performances of the two actors have added to the film a lot, making the work out of the scope of ordinary commercial action movies and triggering more chemical reactions.

"Stealing Firewire" once gathered Al Pacino and Robert De Niro to play with each other on the screen, which made people very addicted, but under the control of Michael Mann, this work was slightly suppressed. Desire, the whole rhythm reveals a heavy weight, the role is above the plot and rhythm, which leads to a mediocre box office performance, but after entering the video tape market, it has gained more support.

However, under the direction of John, "Changing Face" brought the characterization and climax to the extreme. The actors and the plot complemented each other, bursting out amazing sparks, and even calculated the performances of the actors and got outstanding performance. In the end, not only won the media praise, but also achieved great success at the box office.

It can be said that "Changing Face" is the best one among the many works that Hugo has seen today, and Hugo also very much hopes to cooperate with John, maybe two people come from it. The soul of the country can also collide with more sparks.

However, before Hugo could speak, Rick patted his head, "Sorry, I have forgotten it. The filming of this work started at the end of December and he took the plan from Hugo's right hand. I pulled it out and put it aside, still muttering, "There are really no good projects recently, but don't worry, maybe others need to worry about not having works, but we never need..."

Rick was talking, and then he realized that Hugo had a wrong face. He couldn't help but said, "What's wrong?"

Hugo just felt choked in one breath, and then spit it out for a long time, "Nothing, nothing..."

Rick nodded, bowed his head to organize everything and put everything in his bag, "Let's do it, this is also the result I expected, but tomorrow you will meet those old foxes, you have a bottom... …" Rick didn't notice at all, Hugo's reluctant eyes remained on the "face-changing" project, and his face was full of depression.
