Hearing Hugo's question, Alfonso's hesitation between his eyebrows calmed down, "The last time Henry and I brought it up, I thought it was a very interesting proposal, and it would be good to try something different. ”

This means that Alfonso is indeed interested in the "unstoppable miracle". Hugo was stunned at first, because the members of the glorious to death team members all came together with the music, Neil, Fokine and Pedro are pure musicians, and they have no interest in acting at all, and last time Pedro complained that the band's activity time has decreased, so Hugo didn't expect Alfonso to be interested in acting.

The reason why Glory to Death has always been impure in the eyes of fans who need pure rock is that music is the most fundamental factor, and Hugo, as the lead singer, is an actor, which is also one of the reasons. Many rockers and fans are so focused on music that they don't care about anything else.

But then Hugo also reacted, Alfonso's personality was originally exquisite, and he was willing to try different new things, otherwise he would not have become a car salesman after giving up music, compared to Neil, Fokine and Pedro, Alfonso is the one who is willing to be flexible.

The stunned look on Hugo's face was replaced by a bright smile, Hugo himself is an actor and singer, and he naturally understands Alfonso's idea very well, "Not a bad idea, so, do you have any specific plans?" If you need to, you can learn from me. ”

Alfonso heard Hugo's crisp answer, and the smile on his face was outlined again, "I don't have any plans, I just think this project is good." ”

Alfonso obviously didn't know anything about the actors, Hugo nodded and thought about it slightly, "If you have any questions, you can ask Carl directly, you are more familiar with him, and you can ask some details." Then, I'll check in with Tom to see how far the project goes, and I'll ask him to hand me the script if necessary. ”

For Hugo, this is really just a gesture. If Alfonso is really interested, with the relationship between Hugo and Tom, Twentieth Century Fox, and DreamWorks, it is not a problem at all to give Alfonso a role, and even if Alfonso has a certain strength, it is not impossible to give him the position of the leading actor.

Since Alfonso was interested, Hugo was naturally more than willing to help, "But I think you should talk to the others, so that everyone doesn't have to be in a hurry." In fact, Hugo's subtext is to avoid his own previous situation, Hugo hid many things in his heart, which caused Pedro's dissatisfaction. Communication is also very important for bands.

It's just that glory to death is originally because of Hugo, an actor, and there are not many activities, if one more actor is added...... Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but have a headache.

"I'm just interested, no one knows if it will actually work out." Alfonso smiled, and could sense his relaxed mood, "But don't worry, I'll greet Pepe and them in advance." ”

"Need a steak? This is Samora just baked, five ripe ......" Cameron's voice came, and Alfonso immediately stood up, his face ambiguous. He glanced at Hugo with a smile, and then said to Cameron, "You came just in time, Hugo just complained to me, he is dying of hunger." ”

Cameron couldn't help but blush a little when he said that, and then Alfonso laughed and left.

As the night wore on, Hugo put his work behind for a while and joined in the revelry of his friends. By the time everyone had dispersed, it was already past two o'clock in the morning, and everyone except for Mr. Perfect and Charlize had left, and everyone else stayed in Hugo's villa to continue the party.

When Hugo returned to the room on the second floor, Cameron was already asleep, he helped Cameron cover the quilt, and then went up to the third floor, dialed Rick's phone, and the phone was answered after only one ring, but Hugo was startled, and then heard Rick's voice coming out, "It's just right, I'm still thinking about whether the party is about to end now, and I'm going to call you." ”

Hugo smiled dumbly, "I was worried about disturbing your sleep." ”

"If I had time, I would definitely go directly to your place to participate in the pie, but today there were several meetings here in a row, and now I am still in the company, and I can't spare time." Rick explained simply, "I didn't expect you to call me personally, what, what's the matter with you?" Although Rick also had something to do with Hugo, he wouldn't forget that it was Hugo who took the initiative to call him today, so he still asked first.

"It's not my business, it's Alfonso......" Hugo said briefly, "Tom is preparing this project, right?" ”

"Well, that's true, but at the moment the script is still in the creation stage, and Tom is very serious." Rick nodded his chin slightly, but his thoughts drifted a little far, this was the first time Hugo took the initiative to use his connections, which made Rick think a little more, "I'll leave this matter to Carl, I will say hello to Henry and Carl separately." What about Tom? ”

"I'll call Tom personally after dawn today." Rick also knew Hugo well enough to understand Hugo's intentions at once, which also saved Hugo a lot of trouble.

Rick couldn't help but touch his chin, "Hugo, you should know that if you help Alfonso say hello, then Kevin's plan will be realized." While the "unstoppable miracle" is primarily a Tom Hanks project, Twentieth Century Fox has been working closely with DreamWorks on the project. So, Rick understood the ins and outs at once.

Now that Hugo has stepped in to help Alfonso, it means that Kevin Pence's calculation has succeeded, and then Rick will lose some initiative when he talks to Twentieth Century Fox about the "Independence Day" project. Of course, this is not a critical thing, let alone a fatal link, although it has an impact, it is almost negligible, just some psychological advantages. But for Kevin, this little bit of psychological advantage is all he needs.

Rick's sensitivity was not surprised, Hugo rubbed his eyebrows slightly, "Rick, I know, this is the rule of how society works, I am not a child." "Hugo is just principled, not a fool. Hugo let out a long breath, "But now I still have the upper hand, don't I?" Since Kevin wants to complete his puzzle, why don't we help out? ”

Rick chuckled in his heart, Hugo's tone was still very gentle, and even a little tired than usual - after all, it was early in the morning, but this made Rick cry out badly, he always felt that something was about to happen. Sure enough, Hugo's next words made Rick stunned.

"You told me that Kevin is willing to pay me 20 million for this work, and then use this to start the follow-up plan, right?" Hugo's words were smooth and quiet, and he didn't feel anything special at all, but the content of his words made people feel furious from the bottom of their hearts, "So, we will fulfill him, what do you think?" ”

Rick's mind remembered the picture of Hugo teasing reporters several times for no reason, Hugo, who looks bright and warm on the surface, will reveal his dark side from time to time, which reminds Rick of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk", how does Hugo show those dark characters?

Immediately afterward, Rick heard Hugo's gentle voice continue, "There's also the box office dividend, I don't know exactly what it will be, but I think you should go for it." Since Kevin wants to use a qiē to realize the plan, Hugo doesn't mind cooperating and letting Kevin do a good job - not only Twentieth Century Fox will pay for it, but Kevin will also pay for it.

Rick gasped!

In 1995, it was the first time that the lion opened his mouth to get a salary of 20 million US dollars, and now Hugo is still asking for box office dividends, which is no different from robbery! You must know that now many actors basically don't get box office dividends after getting a salary of 15 million US dollars, only small-cost works like "vulgar" and "speed of life and death", because they don't have enough funds to pay high salaries, they can only be replaced by box office dividends. In the early 90s, it was always relatively rare for actors to receive box office dividends.

Now, Hugo has gone one step further, and you can imagine how wonderful Twentieth Century Fox's expression would have been when he heard this request.

Thinking of this, Rick was excited, quite eager to try, if it is really according to what Hugo said, Endeavor Elite Brokerage is bound to take a big step forward, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the company.

"But ...... script?" Despite the excitement, Rick remained calm, and he immediately thought of the core script problem. The current script, not to mention Hugo, even Rick himself is not satisfied, "I can't believe that Kevin will submit this script, it's incredible." ”

"I've heard Joe say," Hugo apparently thought about it, "just do as you say, and tell them that I'm very picky about the script, and the script has to be revised, and then my role must be increased, and if it's not the absolute star, I won't take it." ”

This...... This is simply a completely big-name approach - of course, Hugo is now an absolute superstar, the top superstar in the whole of Hollywood and even in the world, and he definitely has the capital to offer these conditions. It is conceivable that Twentieth Century Fox's expression could not remain calm when he heard these conditions, and this was the first time that the humble and low-key Hugo had ever been truly on fire, and it was also his first real exposure to a super-invested commercial film, and the impact it had was almost unimaginable. So, if Twentieth Century Fox is not willing, then other companies must be willing to nod their heads in order to cooperate with Hugo.

Rick's inner excitement couldn't help but start to jump, he was already gearing up, and fighting a giant crocodile like Twentieth Century Fox could make his blood boil, "I know, leave it to me!" ”

This is a confrontation for control and the initiative, and this is also a confrontation that will change the course of Hollywood history.
