The preparatory work of "Perfect" went far smoother than expected, which made Hugo truly feel the so-called "Hollywood power" for the first time.
Under Allen's promotion, the contract with Sony Columbia Pictures for "Perfect" was almost overwhelming. The contract was officially signed before Paramount had time to make a corresponding policy. The "Perfect" crew not only received an ultra-high budget of 50 million U.S. dollars, but also Hugo will be the producer. As a producer and screenwriter, he will receive a 10% box office dividend-but in Mark's Persistence, the bottom line of box office dividends was set, with a box office of 100 million U.S. dollars in North America.
Because of the bottom line of the box office dividend, Rick and Mark quarreled twice directly. "Perfect" as a literary comedy movie, the box office driving force is completely unpredictable. And the lack of Hugo commander, although Jack Nicholson has signed the actor early, but the box office appeal is still worrying. Rick insisted that the bottom line for box office dividends should be the 50 million cost line, but Mark refused to let go.
Under such circumstances, Allen also showed his true nature as a businessman and personally negotiated with Hugo, which made Hugo compromise. On the one hand, it is the determination to "perfect perfection". Even if it is not divided, Hugo hopes that this work can be completed with quality and quantity; on the other hand, it is because the investment of 50 million US dollars is really incredible for "perfect perfection". Hugo must also make concessions. Of course, the most important thing is that Hugo has enough confidence in the box office.
Then, James L-Brooks signed to be the director of the film. At the beginning of this year, Cooper Gooding, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor by "Mr. Sweetheart", played the role of Simon's agent Frank, followed by Kevin Bacon. Recommended Greg Kinnear (greg.) audition, and won the unanimous affirmation of Hugo and James, won the role of neighbor Simon.
Although Hugo will not appear in "Perfect", and his producer status does not intend to interfere with the director's filming work, he originally thought that Hugo would relax after the crew was confirmed; but in fact, Hugo has been busy as never before. , Almost too busy, not only auditioning actors, but Hugo has also had many meetings with James to discuss the script. After that, Hugo revised the script twice, and the details were revised during the period. More.
"L.A. Confidential" did not have such a clear feeling, this time "Perfect Perfection" is very obvious. The huge network and the power of friendship made Hugo's work very smooth, almost like a broken bamboo. This also made the entire crew full of enthusiasm and quickly formed.
During the period, the "Saving Private Ryan" military training camp officially opened. Hugo also went to support Steven as a guest, and experienced the life of a soldier with Tom Hanks.
But Hugo still has no way to stop, because the heroine of "Perfect" has not been finalized yet.
Originally James was fond of Holly Hunter. The actress who relied on the "Piano Love" to win the Oscar, has worked with James on the film "Broadcast News" a long time ago, and has also worked with Cohen. The brothers have collaborated on several works, which can be said to have a reputation in the independent film industry.
Hugo has met with Holly twice. The first time he talked about the script. Holly liked the script very much. He also seemed very positive when he thought of working with Jack. The second time was bad news because of Holly. I have already signed a contract with the "Brave Say Love (.out. crew before. Now the news comes from the crew that it will start filming in September, while the "Perfect" crew hopes to start filming in mid-August. Dilemma.
In order to cooperate with Holly, Hugo met with the producer of "Brave Love" twice, but this is an independent production company. Even if they want to give Hugo face, they have a lot of room to move. Limited-because their funds and preparations are in place, there is almost no way to advance or retreat. Once the schedule is changed, the crew will suffer heavy losses.
In fact, Hugo wanted to enable Helen Hunter. Helen is a very special actress in Hollywood. She has already appeared on TV at the age of nine, but Hollywood producers have never been optimistic about her prospects. She thinks that "you are not beautiful enough to play the heroine", and the stubbornness of rejecting the unspoken rules has made her lose countless opportunities to go on the big screen, which makes her always defined as a stage play and TV drama actor.
In fact, Helen's strength is very outstanding. Not only is she a child star, she has rich acting experience, but also has been polished in stage plays for many years. Nomination for Best Actress in the Beauty Award. Even though she starred in "Tornado" which was a huge box office success last year, she still did not knock on the movie door for her. It can be said that she is one of the most overlooked actresses in Hollywood.
Hugo would think of Helen because of the recommendation of Tim Robbins. Tim once worked with Helen when he directed "Born to Win". After reading the "Perfect" script, he recommended this to Hugo. Unfamiliar and familiar names.
However, James is a bit repulsive to Hugo’s proposal. He believes that Carol in "Perfectly Perfect" should be a woman of various styles, even if she is sloppy, even if she has to take care of the children, even if she is in a difficult life, but that kind of gesture The amorous feelings between it makes it difficult to look away. James doesn't think Helen can meet the requirements.
In the case of arguing, you can only prepare with two hands. On the one hand, James tries to persuade Holly, on the other hand, Hugo meets and talks with Nicole Kidman.
Entering Tom Cruise's mansion in Beverly Hills, Nicole has already greeted the gate, and when she comes up, she gave Hugo a big hug. Hugo looked back at the crazy paparazzi at the door with lingering fear." God, you go in and out like this every day, isn’t it painful?” Hugo drove over just now, just staying at the gate for a minute and letting the guards open the door. The paparazzi were almost beating him up and unable to move. .
Nicole laughed, "Just get used to it." Then she blinked at Hugo, "It will be much better if you walk through the side door when you leave." This suddenly made Hugo stunned and came in: Then why did he come in from the front door just now? Nicole smiled slyly, "So, you came to see me on a special trip today? Tom didn't say too clearly last night. Was it the project you mentioned to me last night?"
Under the leadership of Nicole, Hugo walked through the empty hall and walked all the way to the small garden balcony at the back. "Where is Tom? Is he not at home today?" Looking around, this is the real mansion. The area is estimated to be larger than Hugo’s Malibu Villa, comparable to Long Beach’s, but the problem is that one is in Long Beach and the other is in Beverly Hills. The price is very different.
"Tom recently met a director, they are exchanging a new idea, you know this director, Paul Thomas Anderson." Nicole motioned to Hugo to take a seat, the tea table has been neatly arranged for refreshments, "Black tea? Hugo nodded, and then Nicole began to make tea with her own hands. "I heard you almost starred in his work before. Tom also said that if you can work with you this time, that would be a good idea." "
"Pta, yes, I know this director, he is very talented, the last time I did not cooperate successfully, I still feel sorry." Hugo smiled and nodded and said, took the black tea that Nicole handed over, "Thank you "Then he gently put it on the coffee table, "But, I remember that you and Tom are shooting a work of Kubrick? Why do you both seem to be very leisurely?"
When Hugo contacted Nicole and asked her whether the schedule is appropriate, she got a positive answer. This is really surprising. This is why Hugo included Nicole in the cast of "Perfectly Perfect", but the specific details are still not there. No inquiry.
"After Stanley was halfway through the filming, his body was not very well, and he felt that his thoughts were a little confused and needed to be rearranged, so he took a temporary break. It is estimated that he will not start filming again in the past three months." Nicole's The words made Hugo feel very magical.
Because Hugo has never experienced such a situation, it is difficult for him to imagine half of the filming, suddenly stopping filming, and then returning to filming a few months later, and this is even more unimaginable for the actor's challenge. However, it is not surprising that Stanley Kubrick took three years before and after shooting "The Shining".
"Wow, I really can't imagine what kind of state it was like." Hugo racked his brains and couldn't describe it. "It's no wonder that the opportunity to cooperate with the master is so rareNicole I was also amused by Hugo's vivid expression, "If you are curious, you can also try it yourself. Believe me, it is a torment for the actors. "
Hugo spread his hands out, "I don't think I have such a directorial talent, and I don't think Kubrick would want to work with me, so... I just think about it." This made Nicole laugh again. Aloud, "So, does this mean that you are free for this period of time? Are you willing to shoot another work?"
"You mean the script you wrote?" Nicole naturally knew about it, "but why didn't you give me the script?"
"Because I don't want to make a fool of yourself in front of Stanley Kubrick?" Hugo frowned and joked. In fact, it was mainly because Hugo did not know the situation before, so Hugo has never passed the script to Nicole's agent-Nicole and Tom are both actors under the creative artist agency.
"However, in the past two days, my agent gave me another script, saying that you are likely to become the leading actor, and asked me if I would spare a month to play the leading role." Nicole's words made Hugo completely confused. Shui, "What work?" Nicole said with a smile, "'Trumen's World'."
