Chapter 1374: The Fox Spreads His Net

At the beginning of dinner, the sun had sunk below sea level, and the faint blue moonlight shrouded the calm sea, with a slight chill, and a group of people gathered around the barbecue grill in Samora, salivating one by one.

Hugo was holding the chicken wings he had just snatched from Leonardo's mouth and was gnawing happily, and Alex was standing next to him with an empty plate with a depressed expression, trying to eat the chicken wings in Hugo's hand with his eyes. Hugo was as if he hadn't seen it, and he still ate happily.

Alfonso walked over head-on, holding two sausages and a steak on the plate, but Alex took advantage of Alfonso's inattention, snatched the steak directly, and sent it directly to his mouth with his hand, as if he was a poor child who had been hungry for several days, Alfonso was dumbfounded, and Cameron, Joseph and others, who were two steps away, scolded one after another when they saw it, "Alex! Don't be so exaggerated! ”

Alfonso looked down and shook his head with a helpless smile, but before he could put the sausage in his mouth, Pedro jumped out from behind and emptied Alfonso's plate, which made Hugo, who was sitting next to him, burst into laughter and almost choked on his own saliva.

Alfonso sat down opposite Hugo with a depressed expression, and Hugo chuckled, "Aren't you going to wait next to Samora?" If you go on like this, you're going to be hungry tonight. ”

Alfonso waved the empty plate in his hand and pouted, "Where are they really hungry, they just have more fun robbing others." Hugo was also weak in his heart, he looked at the half-nibbled chicken wings in his hand, paused, and then continued to nibble happily.

"I just heard Pepe say that Leo and Charlize are going to co-star in a production?" Alfonso looked at his friends who were playing around and asked seemingly random questions.

Hugo didn't think much about it, nodded, and replied casually, "The two of them received the same script, but they still have to audition or something, and I don't know what the development will be in the future." ”

If Hugo is not mistaken, in the script of "Romeo and Juliet", the male protagonist was locked to Leonardo, but the female protagonist was originally locked to Natalie Portman, but unfortunately it did not work out, and the female lead candidate went through several tosses, and when it was almost declared that the difficult birth had to be shelved, Claire appeared at the last moment to get the role.

So, how the situation will develop this time, Hugo can't say.

"What about you?" Alfonso asked curiously, nodding his head.

This caused Hugo to pause, and not long ago there was an argument within the band about Hugo's time allocation, when Alfonso was not present. Although Pedro and Neil later went to talk to Alfonso alone, Hugo was not sure if Alfonso had any ideas.

In fact, for most of the half year when he rested from glory to death, Alfonso was the busiest one, and he was always running around. I'd heard Neil mention it once before that Alfonso was busy with some of his own business, and the team rarely saw him.

Alfonso suddenly mentioned this matter, Hugo couldn't help but get serious, looked up at Alfonso, only to see that Alfonso still had a casual expression, it didn't look special, maybe Hugo himself thought too much, but he had to face it, because he and Alfonso really didn't have a good talk.

"Alfonso, are you worried about the band's next move? If this is the case...... "Hugo's personality is very honest, and in the face of his teammates, he did not beat around the bush, and directly said his guesses and doubts.

Alfonso was stunned, and waved his hand again and again, "No, it's not......" After speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle, "I've talked to Pepe and Neil about these things, and I've also communicated with Fojin today." I've always known that making music isn't that simple, so I didn't rush it, and we had a consensus on that at the beginning of the band's existence, didn't we? ”

Hugo looked at Alfonso seriously, he didn't expect Alfonso to be so generous in this matter. In Alfonso's eyes, Hugo saw calmness and sincerity, which made Hugo smile dumbly, "I'm sorry, I thought too much." I just feel that I have a lot of responsibility for this, and I have to communicate with you personally......"

"Hugo, we're not just teammates, we're friends." Alfonso said with a smile on his face, and the simple words only embarrassed Hugo. Alfonso glanced at Hugo, there was a non-obvious hesitation, and then he asked, "Actually, I want to say, the last time Henry and we mentioned a film project, and wanted to invite our band members to star, is it really a thing?" ”

Hugo was stunned, he didn't react at all, "What project?" He wasn't at all impressed, and Henry hadn't mentioned it to him.

After the topic was raised, Alfonso also seemed a little more comfortable, "It's the project that DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox co-produced Zuò...... "Hugo is still confused, there is obviously a lot of cooperation between the two companies recently, Hugo doesn't know all of them," Tom Hanks plans to write the script and direct the work himself, about the work of rock in the sixties. ”

"Ah...... You mean 'unstoppable miracle'? Hugo came back to his senses, this work was actually mentioned to him by Rick once, at that time it was said that Tom Hanks had this intention, and then wanted to invite Charlize to play, and the members of Glory to Death were also planned. This is one piece of the vast plan of Twentieth Century Fox.

However, Hugo hadn't heard the story of the work for a while, and neither Charlize nor Tom had mentioned it to Hugo, so when Alfonso talked about it just now, he was completely confused.

"What's wrong? The project was officially invited to Henry? Hugo looked puzzled, "I haven't heard Henry or Rick mention it, and Tom hasn't spoken to me." Although Hugo and Tom Cruise are more familiar, since Rick is their co-agent, Hugo and Tom Hanks will also be in touch occasionally.

Hugo looked at Alfonso with a question mark on his head, but saw the hesitation and hesitation in Alfonso's eyes, which made Hugo even more puzzled: why does Alfonso always seem to want to say something today?

Suddenly, an idea popped into place.

Twentieth Century Fox has been planning since April, and it seems that the ultimate goal should be "Independence Day", or there may be a more long-term goal. But it is undeniable that since then, Twentieth Century Fox has become closer to DreamWorks and Endeavour elite brokerage. Among them, "Love is the One" and "Romeo and Juliet" can be regarded as one of the puzzles of their plan, and "The Unstoppable Miracle" is even more so.

Kevin Pence must have planned a huge blueprint, and Hugo is a very important part of this blueprint. So a lot of the projects revolve around Hugo. Kevin obviously wants to improve the cooperation with Hugo's friends and get closer to Hugo, and the so-called "network" is often built up in this way.

If Independence Day is really as far-reaching as Rick suggests, then Kevin will obviously win if a cooperation can be reached in the end.

Perhaps, "Unstoppable Miracle" is one of the pieces of the puzzle, because this work can fully connect Tom, Charlize, Glory to Death and DreamWorks and Endeavor elite brokerage companies, which is of great significance. Of course, the more important significance of this work is to get closer to Tom - Hugo can only be regarded as incidental at best.

Now, Kevin's train of thought is obviously half of the success, because Alfonso is interested in the "unstoppable miracle", so he will mention it in front of Hugo, and there is even a hesitation and brewing that wants to stop talking, which makes the ideas in Hugo's mind begin to diverge, and various possibilities begin to emerge.

Hugo didn't like it. It stands to reason that he is now a star-studded moon, and Twentieth Century Fox has not hesitated to develop huge plans to achieve his goals in order to achieve the cooperation project with him, and even provided many opportunities for Hugo's friends, which is a good thing. But in Hugo's view, the original simple friendship is now clearly priced, according to the influence of this friend on Hugo, and then the twentieth century Fox invests in it, and finally achieves the goal. This made Hugo feel a little uncomfortable.

Hugo felt that Twentieth Century Fox was casting a net, weaving a vast net that was captured by Hugo himself, which made Hugo feel like a prey and his friends as bait. It's not a good feeling.

But Hugo also knows that this is not only the case in Hollywood, but also in the whole society, the so-called connections are resources, wealth, and need to be operated and planned. The reason why Twentieth Century Fox planned so seriously was because it was worth enough to impress them, and they were happy to do it. Compared with Twentieth Century Fox's plan, the most important thing is that the parties can maintain a calm mind.

For example, Leonardo and Charlize did not mention the "Romeo and Juliet" audition to Hugo at all, although this is an audition that implicitly relies on Hugo's relationship, but no matter what, the result will be determined by their strength. It was like Hugo Tongguò and his friends who got audition opportunities for works such as "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", "Sleepless in Seattle", and "Schindler's List".

Even a relationship worth a thousand dollars is just a stepping stone, and the heart is the foundation.

So what is Alfonso and himself talking about the "unstoppable miracle"? Thinking of this, Hugo hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "How?" Are you interested in this project? Do you want to make a cameo in a movie too? ”
