"So, you have great ambitions for this script?" Hugo's thoughts just flashed through his mind, and he said with a smile looking at the unconcealed excitement of Knight. However, the out of sight fluttered towards Catherine, obviously there was a deep meaning in the words.

Knight did not notice this small detail. Instead, he nodded vigorously because he was affirmed by Hugo. However, there was no arrogance in those big eyes, but full of expectations and desires. People couldn't help but laugh, "I said at the beginning that I wanted you to be the leading actor, but this directly scared away many producers..." At this point, Knight lowered his head embarrassedly and chuckled twice.

"The Supernatural Sixth Sense" is only Knight’s second work, and it is also a horror film. The budget is bound to not be very high, but Knight actually directly proposed to cooperate with Hugo, which is in the eyes of anyone. It can be regarded as a fantasy. What's more, the horror films of the early 1990s have gradually developed into blood-blood plasma films. The actors starring in are either newcomers or third-line actors. Almost no first-line actors are willing to star in horror films-no wonder those producers are scared off by Knight. .

"Finally, with the help of a friend, David saw the script, and he nodded directly, and then..." Knight didn't think too much, and he didn't know so much insider, so he said of course, for Bo The gratitude of Wei Films was beyond words, but Catherine, who was sitting next to her, began to help her forehead.

"Then we discovered that this is an excellent script." Catherine interrupted Knight's words, took the topic freely, and said with a smile, "It's not the story we imagined at all, and it's even better than expected. It needs to be outstanding. So, we realized that it might not be impossible for you to act." Catherine turned to look at Rick and Knight, laughed, and finally came in contact with Hugo again. "After all, all of us know that the first thing that can impress Hugo: is an excellent script."

It was really difficult for Catherine, and there was no panic in the rush, and the long talk came back to the topic. In fact, the information that Knight leaked just now is enough to prove the intention behind the actions of Bowei Films. Although Catherine is on Steven Spielberg’s side, her most important identity is still a producer-she owns her own production company Kennedy/Marshall Film Production Company. "Six Senses" is the work they filmed with Bowei. She doesn't want to offend Bowei and the Disney behind it, at least not in the face.

Therefore, even knowing that Robert Iger and David Vogel are calculating Hugo behind, it is estimated that even Catherine herself has become one of the pawns, but at this time Catherine must also be careful to grasp the scale.

Hugo and Catherine had a good relationship. He knew that Catherine belonged to him. Besides, he didn't intend to puncture that layer of window paper, so he smiled when he looked at Catherine, "It seems that I should change my preference. There is a weakness It's always not a good thing." This little ridicule also eased the atmosphere again.

Although Knight was smiling, he didn't understand what was going on. He just asked eagerly, "Have you finished reading the script? What do you think? Do you have any comments on the script?"

A series of questions rushed to his face, and Rick joked directly with a chuckle, "Slow down, slow down, let us have an aperitif first, and then slowly talk about it."

Knight also realized that he was a little gaffe at this time, and laughed embarrassedly, and then held up the red wine glass in front of him cautiously, "Thank you, Mr. Lancaster, for being able to meet with me today. This...this is my honor." ."

Knight was cautious but sincere, and his smile was filled with sincerity and excitement. Hugo couldn't help guessing that perhaps Knight could continue to impress the producers and make them continue to invest in him because of his enthusiasm for the film and his sincerity in life. Of course, the great success of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" is still the most. Important premise. Moreover, as an Indian-American, Knight broke into Hollywood and became the pride of countless Indians. It is estimated that there are also many Indian sources of funds to contribute to the flames. This makes Knight have the ability to become the "Six Hollywood Terminator". The prerequisite-there are continuous works to be photographed.

Hugo also held up the red wine glass in front of him, "I can get the appreciation of an excellent work, which shows that my work performance is still very good." This simple little humor once again made everyone chuckle. .

After that, Hugo toasted Knight and Catherine, and then to Rick. There seemed to be no special action, but Hugo gave Rick a wink in secret. In time, the two people have completed the exchange.

In fact, Hugo had already greeted Rick before meeting today. If nothing else, he hopes to take over this work. The reason is simple. After reading the script, Hugo was once again moved by the story, and different from the original movie watching process, reading the script itself gave Hugo a brand new feeling for the character of Malcolm. The incomprehensibility and fragility that are difficult to express deeply attracted Hugo.

From the script to the role, Hugo is very satisfied. And this is still an authentic horror movie. Not long ago, in the "Trumen's World" crew, Hugo was still considering whether he should try a horror movie after challenging the comedy. Now he has encountered the "sixth sense of the supernatural". , It is a perfect choice.

Just like Hugo's thoughts after the conversation with Robert, Robert can be said to be a no-brainer. Even if Hugo knows that he is being calculated, even if he knows that there is a trap in front of him, Hugo will willingly nod and agree to act. "Spiritual sixth sense."

But this feeling is really weird. Hugo even thought about rejecting the role altogether, just to prevent Robert's strategy from succeeding. Anyway, excellent scripts will always appear again. But Hugo can't deny that this script is the one that fascinates him the most since the "Seven Deadly Sins", even surpassing the "L.A. Confidential." This is really tangled.

In the end, Hugo decided to play. After more than half a year of polishing, Hugo also knows that this is how Hollywood works, and it was the same before. The only difference is that Hugo did not reach such a height before and could not see the turbulent undercurrent behind the scenes, but now Hugo has also become one of them. So, since you are already in it, why not just listen to your true inner feelings and choose the works you like to perform?

However, Hugo did not immediately make the decision. On the one hand, he needed to have a face-to-face conversation with Knight. Hugo did not tell Rick the reason. He actually doubted Knight’s ability. The name is not just for fun; on the one hand, Rick needs time to set up.

Rick has no objection to Hugo's choice, but Endeavour Elite Brokerage and DreamWorks will not let others calculate themselves casually. This is a transaction, a two-way transaction, not a one-way transaction. More importantly, because of Hugo’s powerful influence, Rick actually has the upper hand-it was Catherine, not David, who came to the meeting today. It can be seen that Robert Iger has temporarily taken a half step back. .

Once Hugo makes a decision, Rick will also need to make arrangements. Robert and David will certainly not simply bow their heads to agree, so he needs to exchange some information with Catherine, and there will definitely be a battle.

Now Hugo has given Rick a signal that he is willing to take this work. The next work is left to Rick.

"Nate, how did you come up with such a story? Looking at the issue of death from the perspective of a child, although such a story has appeared before, it is not easy to write it deeply." After ordering, Hugo looked at Knight and asked curiously.

Knight’s expression still has an uncontrollable excitement, and it is estimated that this emotion will be carried through tonight, "I just said it, it’s you. This sounds a little weird, but I promise, I created this because of you. Script." Hugo was completely stunned by Knight’s words, but watching Knight’s incomparably sincere expression, the focus and devotion to the movie shining brightly in the eyes, the smile on Hugo’s mouth still couldn’t help being outlined. stand up.

"When I was editing my last work, one night when I was working in the early hours of the morning, a picture flashed in my mind. You were wearing a white shirt, unbuttoning the top two buttons, and sitting on the sofa. On the armrest, the face was full of loneliness, and there were countless intricacies in those eyes, as if the whole world was quiet, and then you could clearly see the whole world shattered in your eyes, which shocked my heart. So, I told my editor, “You know, I’m going to write a screenplay called Supernatural Sixth Sense, starring Hugo Lancaster.” My editor was stunned~www.novelhall. com~ then nodded and said,'OK'."

Listening to Knight's description of the whole ins and outs, Hugo's mind also began to outline the scenes in the movie. The reality and the intricacies overwhelmingly caused Hugo to fall into contemplation.

Hugo and Knight were talking in low voices here, while Rick looked at Catherine, "So, what conditions did Bowei offer?"

Catherine’s position in the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" crew is very subtle. On the one hand, she represents Bowei Films. She must consider issues from the standpoint of the company. On the other hand, she has a close relationship with DreamWorks. It needs to be considered for this movie, and it needs to be considered for the future. Therefore, it is up to Catherine herself to know how to handle it.

Catherine had no politeness either, she lowered her voice and said, "The cost is capped at 60 million, and the remuneration is still to be discussed, but Bowei prefers box office dividends, as an actor and producer. In my opinion, 100%. The twelfth is the most appropriate."

Rick squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Catherine carefully, after a while, then whispered, "I'm listening."

Catherine suddenly smiled. She knew that this cooperation had been reached!
