Allen looked down at the coffee in his hand. The translucent coffee was slowly spinning under the stirring of the silver spoon, as if it had been a year in the past, spinning around in the dark, trapping him. The footsteps only made life worse and worse; but, when he raised his head, the sparkling blue sea in front of him spread out in his field of vision, and in an instant, it seemed that the whole world had become extremely open.
"So,'Perfect', what are you worried about?" Allen returned to official business. Even aside from friends, Allen is really interested in investing in this project. "I've read the script, yours The work is really amazing. You know I am sincere."
Hugo chuckled lightly, "This is very important to me." Then he thought about it seriously, "The biggest problem is that I wrote this script according to myself as the male protagonist, but now it seems that I am Not necessarily suitable for this work. I'm not sure which part of it went wrong, so...From this perspective, as a screenwriter, I still have a long way to go."
"So?" Allen didn't seem to see the problem. "This is still an excellent script, and it's still a worthy investment project. There is no doubt about it."
Hugo looked at Allen's eyes carefully and found that Allen was telling the truth. The sincerity in his eyes couldn't be clearer, "Are you serious? Even if I don't play the leading role?"
"Of course, why not?" Ai Yi nodded of course without any doubt.
The curvature of Hugo’s mouth couldn’t help but he gently outlined, “But Mark told me that the necessary condition for this project to achieve cooperation is that I must become the leading actor-this is what I can understand. As an actor, I do. Not bad; but as a screenwriter, my credit limit needs to be increased."
"Please, Hugo, you don't have to be humble in front of me." Allen shook his head, and a relaxed smile appeared on the thin lips. "You are an excellent actor, there is no doubt about it; but Your greatest value to a movie is your accurate grasp of the role and the script, and you have a keen eye for choosing works. The script of'Perfectly Perfect', even if you leave all other factors aside, it is also a worthy investment. Project. What's more, your name belongs to the screenwriter column."
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. "So, you mean, even if I don't play the leading role, you are still willing to invest?"
Allen spread his hands, "Man, or we make a bet, even if this work does not have your participation, and you only appear on the production staff list as a screenwriter, this work will definitely be successful?"
"Wow, this is a heavy bet." Hugo's smile was completely released. "However, for me, there is actually nothing to be afraid of. After all, I am not the one who signs the check. "
"So, promise me, you will seriously consider Mark's proposal." Allen made this request again, "I know, you talked to Steven first, and Steven is your friend, so you are bound to be the first Consider him, but...add a competitor, I don’t think Steven will mind."
Hugo laughed, "I can promise you, I will seriously consider it."
Allen turned his head contentedly and looked at the endless sea in front of him, and his mood broadened like never before, "Hugo, there is one more thing, I think you should be able to give me some advice." Hugo looked up. To Allen, he expressed doubts with his eyes, "In fact, some time ago, Steven and I were discussing a real cooperation project. I invested in DreamWorks as a shareholder and then assisted them in setting up their own issuing department."
"But, what's the difference between this and Wall Street capital injection?" Hugo doesn't quite understand the meaning of this cooperative project. DreamWorks just doesn't want large consortium funds to intervene in order to maintain the independence of his creation. However, now accepting Allen's funds is just changing the soup instead of the medicine.
Allen shook his head, "No, it's not the same, I'm not in the name of our family, but in my own name." It's like Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Jeffrey Card. Same as Senberg.
Hugo nodded slightly, "But you don't know anything about movies. What about disagreements during the film production process?"
"That's why I want to ask for your opinion on whether this investment is worth making, and, if you invest, I hope you can become my spokesperson in DreamWorks and express your opinions." Alan's words fell, and Hugo had a look on his face. Looking over in surprise, Allen waved his hand again and again, "Believe me, this is purely a businessman’s abacus and has no direct contact with me personally. You know, this is a way to ensure the independence of DreamWorks as much as possible, and at the same time not Letting external funds affect DreamWorks' professionalism, and letting you become a spokesperson, this is also a plan that Stevens can accept."
"Are you sure? Are you sure it wasn't because you had a good impression of me that you made the decision blindly?" Hugo did not conceal his doubts, and directly mentioned it.
Allen laughed because of Hugo’s confession, "No, absolutely not, I am not Italian." This sentence also made Hugo laugh, "Actually, I had considered other candidates, Stie Wen is also considering candidates like Rick Rosen, but this position is too sensitive and requires someone we trust each other-even David and Jeffery can trust to serve, so we put My eyes are on you. Of course, you can refuse. When I mention this matter today, I don’t want you to take this position, but to ask you, what do you think of this investment in DreamWorks?"
Hugo felt for a while that countless messages were flooding in his brain. Recently, the dilemma faced by the elite brokerage company of Endeavour, the recent big moves by Sony Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros., etc., and the recent debut of DreamWorks... …There is too much information on the ever-changing shopping mall. Hugo finds it difficult to control the overall situation, but it is worthy of affirmation that DreamWorks really focused on the establishment of the distribution department, which also means that the historical track has changed. Changed once.
"It's worth it, I think so, and I really think so sincerely." Hugo gave his own answer, causing Allen to fall into contemplation, "As an actor." Allen couldn't help but smile." As for your proposal...I can’t give you any reply for the time being, but I am definitely willing to think about it. However, I can give you some warnings in advance. I am very good at film production, but I am thorough in management and operation. The incompetent."
A smile appeared in Allen's eyes, "Don't worry, that's not something you need to worry about, we all know this very clearly."
I thought it was just a reunion of old friends, but I didn't expect so many things happened. It seems that since he became the producer of "L.A. Confidential", the door to a whole new world has been opened, and the whole world has begun to change dramatically. These changes are too rapid, and Hugo still needs time to study hard and digest slowly.
"Your coffee is cold. Let's go back and change another one. I don't want to be a bad host." Hugo said politely.
Allen looked back, then lowered his head to show a smile, "I think it's better to wait for the next time, don't forget, you have another guest." Hugo was stunned, looked back, and saw James Franco, standing cautiously behind the pillars of the hall, almost forgot that this little guy was there, "Although I don’t know who he is or what happened, Hugo, as a friend of mine, Can I give you a piece of advice?"
Hugo looked at Allen in amazement, because Allen had always adhered to the bottom line of his friends and would not violate his personal*. What's more, he probably didn't know anything about James, but why did he say so at this time? Woolen cloth? Although puzzled, Hugo nodded.
Allen said with a smile, "Many times, the problem doesn't exist at all, it's just that we don't want to let ourselves go."
Allen really didn’t know what happened, he didn’t know anything about James, but Allen could see his shadow in James’s nervous look, and likewise, he could see depression in Hugo’s eyes. The intricacies. He himself went through such a process. In the past year or so, he has been torturing himself constantly, allowing himself to sink into pain. However, after really letting go, I realized that those tossings were nothing more than my own attachments. So, although Allen knew nothing, he knew that Hugo had a knot.
"If I go over then I once again express my sincere apologies, and hope that it will not destroy the friendship we have just restored." Allen then regained his gentlemanship and said politely. Hugo twitched his mouth slightly, "Let me send you out."
Hugo and Allen walked all the way out of the villa. Seeing the two people coming over, James immediately looked away, pretending to be just looking at the surrounding scenery, but the outside of his sight closely followed Hugo's figure and waited nervously. With his own judgment.
James is even thinking that if Hugo wants to drive him out, then he will hide in the room stubbornly, not because he has nowhere to go in Los Angeles except here; but because he wants to stay here. , Even though he doesn't know the reason, he just wants to stay here. To be precise, he wants to stay with Hugo.
Lifting his head, James saw Hugo reappearing in front of him. Hugo was just backlit, and the bright sun behind him surrounded Hugo like a halo, making him look tall and stalwart, and James had it. So a flash of God. But then, James began to turn around and run away. He didn't want to face Hugo because he was afraid of facing Hugo.
"Stop! I think we need to talk."
