"Maybe, I have a solution."
Hugo’s words made Rick and Joseph both brighten up. This made Hugo feel the burden. He couldn’t help but chuckled, “Don’t look forward to it. I’m not sure if it worked. You know, I’m right. I'm really not very good at corporate affairs. What I really understand is my own work."
Rick raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Maybe your ideas can give us some inspiration."
Hugo put the coffee cup on the coffee table and looked at Rick and Joseph. "So, the biggest problem is that our company does not have enough actors-enough good actors, there is no way to satisfy the "saving private Ryan". The demand of the huge crew finally caused our resources to be unable to keep up with the pace of ambition. Is my understanding wrong?"
"No." Rick shrugged and gave an affirmative answer. In fact, the problem will be more complicated, because the plundering and competition of resources within the brokerage circle is not simple, but Hugo's statement is regarded as a concentrated point of the problem and cannot be calculated wrong.
"So, if our company has enough excellent actor resources to meet the needs of different projects, not only Steven, but also the packaging and bundling needs of other crews, will the crisis be over?" Hugo said. Rick and Joseph looked at each other. Everyone understands this simple truth, but the problem is that it is not that simple to implement. Hugo's words all sound like nonsense, "No, don't worry, listen to me." Hugo also Noting the doubts in Rick and Joseph's expressions, he quickly continued.
"Rick, do you remember our last conversation? The conversation about exploring Canadian and Australian actors' resources?" Hugo's words made Rick stunned, and then nodded, "In fact, I think we can take this project In advance, send enough agents-or go directly to the local agency to dig in. Not only Canada, Australia, but also the United Kingdom-there are countless outstanding actors in the West End of London, and the English language is highly popularized in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Denmark. In countries where actors have advantages that native Americans don’t have—multilingual advantages and the delicate performance style of European academies, these are treasure troves. As long as we operate properly, we can not only have a huge resource of actors, but also It can be one step ahead of other companies and open up the international market."
"Hugo, do you know what you're talking about?" Rick cast a stunned look. Hugo's idea is actually to accelerate the out-of-control pace of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, and further expand the whole mess. , This is completely suicidal behavior, speeding up the demise of Endeavour's elite brokerage company.
Hugo chuckled slightly, "I know exactly what I'm talking about." Because this is the future development trend of Hollywood as a whole.
To put it simply, on the one hand, the arrival of the Hollywood blockbuster era, the further acceleration of film commercialization, and the continued deepening of global influence; on the other hand, the rapid development of the concept of "global village" and the rapid integration of multiculturalism, which further further the distance between Hollywood and Europe shorten.
In just the next three years, the speed at which European actors set foot in Hollywood increased exponentially. According to the original process, the international innovation management company was the first to realize this and became the most comprehensive international brokerage company in Hollywood, which also became their capital for confronting innovative artist brokerage companies.
After the 21st century, the five major brokerage companies have their own characteristics. International innovation management companies have relatively leading advantages in the global market. Innovative artist brokerage companies take the high-end and big-name route. William Morris Brokerage Company has deep-rooted connections and unites elite brokers. The company relied on independent films to rise rapidly, and Endeavour's elite brokerage firm has become the overlord thanks to the raging fire in the field of TV dramas.
Now, Hugo just pushed it slightly to let Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company enter the international market first, and that's it.
"I mean, this plan can be launched next. This is a long-term development plan for the company. Regardless of the outcome of the'Save Private Ryan' project this time, it is imperative for the company to supplement the resources of outstanding actors. Okay, isn’t it?” Hugo’s words silenced Rick and thought carefully, “As for the current needs of Steven, I have a bold idea. I don’t know if it is feasible, but I can try and see. ."
"Why don't you let Russell or Heath go to Steven's audition?" Hugo's words made Rick stunned. "I think at least someone in the company should have considered this, right?"
Rick was speechless—no one in the company really thought about it.
Russell Crowe and Heath Ledger are all actors who have just joined the Endeavour Elite Agency, and they are now intensively filming in the "L.A. Confidential" crew. The schedule is out of line. It was as if Steven was desperate and called Hugo. When the company was considering the role of James Ryan, no one thought of the two new actors, Russell and Heath.
"You are just flustered for a while, I believe if you meet again today, you will remember it." Hugo smiled, "I'm not sure about Steven's request, but from my personal point of view, Russell and Heath They are all enough to meet the performance requirements..." Hugo thought about it carefully, "Maybe Russell will be more suitable."
In fact, from an age perspective, Heath, who is only 18 years old this year, would be more suitable, because James Ryan is the youngest of the four children in the family. The thoughts around you will be more persuasive to the audience.
But Hugo is not sure how good Heath's current performance skills are-the performance in "L.A. Confidential" is just a small test, it is difficult to see too much. On the contrary, although Russell is a bit older, his performance will be convincing enough, and exquisiteness is not lost. Under the guidance of Tom Hanks, he may give the character a different color.
However, the result still depends on Steven's choice. Russell is too old and Heath is too young. Perhaps neither of the actors can meet Steven's requirements. Hugo can't be sure, but at least this is a choice.
Rick thought about it seriously and had to admit that Hugo's idea is indeed feasible. Moreover, compared to using a famous star like Hugo to play James Ryan, it is obviously a more reasonable choice for a newcomer to play the role with Tom. After all, "Saving Private Ryan" is not "Stealing the Wire", "Seven Deadly Sins", and "L.A. Secrets" such a great acting movie. What this movie needs is just a top star, driving a group of second-tier, third-tier or new actors. .
"Are you really confident?" Rick raised his head and looked at Hugo with some worry.
Hugo shrugged, "If you are asking whether Russell and Heath's acting skills are adequate, my answer is yes. I think they are indeed the most reasonable choice for Steven at the moment; but if What you are asking is how Steven will decide... to be honest, I don’t know, but we tried our best to give him the best choice, didn’t we?"
Rick also understands what Hugo means. If Endeavour Elite Brokerage has worked hard to the end, Steven is still dissatisfied and chooses to cooperate with Matt Damon of the International Innovation Management Company, then they don’t need to be lost. Just cover it up. "So, are you sure you have no idea about the role of James Ryan?"
Hugo didn't answer right away, but seriously thought about it. Indeed, this is a very good opportunity. Regardless of the company’s position, this project meets Hugo’s requirements from any angle, and he doesn’t mind playing a supporting role, but... "No, it’s always necessary. Learn to give up, don’t you?” He was not locked in the project at the beginning, and he had no intention of acting. “I’d better concentrate on my own script, although this is indeed a big temptation. Confused, I Almost nodding."
Rick was also amused by Hugo, and his boredom was slightly relieved.
"By the way, did you just say that the TV drama department also encountered some obstacles?" Hugo originally thought that his work was over, but suddenly remembered it.
Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is king of TV dramas after the 21st century. At their peak, TV dramas produced by their clients accounted for 51% of the entire market, including "prison break" and "hero". , "I am a comedy mania", "Ugly Betty" and other works are all produced by their clients; and in the new drama, this ratio is more than 60%, making the other four major agencies fearful~www .novelhall.com~ is definitely the overlord.
"Yes, the'**** family', Fox and both rejected us. We originally thought Fox was absolutely willing to nod." Rick didn't know much about this business, he was more in charge of the movie, but mentioned This matter still frowned.
"The **** family", the absolute classic masterpiece that swept the army at the Emmy Awards in the first decade of the 21st century, even in the second decade, it is still a classic among the classics.
"Why not try a cable TV network like this?" Hugo said of course that, entering the 21st century, the entire cable network is a well-deserved hegemon, and its classic dramas are endless, and they have almost become the representative of high-quality dramas. .
But what Hugo didn't know was that the real rise was around 1998. Prior to this, it could only be regarded as a classic movie replay and a selection of sports events, and neither the user group nor the quality of the drama itself could be regarded as excellent. Everything changed dramatically in 1997, because from this year, they tried to make their own series to attract more loyal users.
So, at this time, Rick heard Hugo mention "unappreciated", he showed a surprised look, and made no secret of his surprise, "Did you subscribe?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Maybe, I have a solution."
Hugo’s words made Rick and Joseph both brighten up. This made Hugo feel the burden. He couldn’t help but chuckled, “Don’t look forward to it. I’m not sure if it worked. You know, I’m right. I'm really not very good at corporate affairs. What I really understand is my own work."
