Robert explained the idea of the script of "The Sixth Sense" while carefully observing the changes in Hugo's expression. In Robert's opinion, he has exhausted his last resort, according to expectations, Hugo should be full of curiosity about the script by now, but Robert noticed that Hugo was distracted for a while, although he quickly came back to his senses, but after returning to his senses, Hugo's eyes had a hint of playfulness.

Robert didn't quite understand.

In his opinion, he did use a stratagem, and he did not hide his intentions from beginning to end. Hugo shouldn't be unhappy because of this, on the contrary, Hugo should be happy and excited because he has another excellent script, after all, Hugo has always been like this - the script is supreme, isn't it? Moreover, the reason why he planned in such detail was because Hugo was worth it, otherwise he wouldn't have spent any more time at all, and this is the embodiment of Hugo's value, isn't it?

Robert did take all aspects into account, but he ignored one point, people are not machines after all, if people's emotional level can be like computer instructions, one is one, two is two, then things will not be so complicated.

"So, what do you think?" Robert didn't think about it any further and decided to take the initiative.

Hugo raised an eyebrow slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you already knew my answer." This irony made Robert smile shallowly, but he didn't mind Hugo's tone, but said calmly, "From my standpoint, I have provided the best conditions, but the decision is still up to you, isn't it?" ”

The subtext is that if Hugo is willful enough to reject the "supernatural sixth sense" and ignore the advantages of the script itself, just because Robert's calculations are so ingenious that Hugo is uncomfortable, then Robert can't do anything. Because in Hollywood, there are not 1,000 people who miss opportunities because of willfulness and ruin their careers because of willfulness.

Far from it, Macaulay Culkin, who has completely disappeared, is an example.

Hugo didn't feel angry now, he suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if he was talking to a robot. It's not that Robert is cold and impersonal, on the contrary, in fact, Robert has always felt like a spring breeze, and the grace of advancing and retreating appropriately and talking appropriately left a deep impression on Hugo; But it is precisely because of Robert's almost perfect decency, coupled with the precise calculation of each step, that it is like a well-functioning computer.

Hugo was stunned by this thought, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked curiously, "Why do you think I must be interested in this script?" Hugo tilted his head slightly and looked at Robert with interest, "Why do you think I'm the most suitable person for the leading actor?" ”

Robert seems to have been prepared for this question for a long time, "This question should not be answered by me, because my interpretation of the script and your attention to the script are two very different positions. I think you need to read the script and make your own decisions. Of course, I hope you can agree with me to join this project and bring this wonderful story to the big screen. ”

Precise, or precise.

When Robert needed to convince Hugo the most, he chose to take a step back and give the initiative to Hugo. If it weren't for Hugo's bizarre idea just now, he would have been completely led by Robert's nose now, not only would he not be able to perceive that Robert was retreating, but he would also be complacent about thinking that he had regained the initiative.

Even the change in mentality, Robert calculated so finely. Hugo's pupils couldn't help but widen slightly, a trace of surprise and helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he only felt that there was a lump of cotton in his throat, but in the end he turned into a weak smile, shook his head with a soft smile, and then nodded, "Of course, of course." ”

Hugo admits that even so, he wanted to see the script for "The Sixth Sense" because he was really interested in it. Not because of the character, but because the depiction of emotional bonds in the movie really poked at the soft part of his heart - Robert's calculation hit the red heart, damn accurate!

Moreover, after filming "Truman's World", Hugo did think about what it would be like if he starred in a horror movie, unlike "The Seven Deadly Sins", whether the acting method would need to be adjusted, and whether the transmission of emotions would need to be more exaggerated or calmer? Does comedy and horror have anything in common, Alfred Hitchcock once ordered that he doesn't like methodist acting, and his film works need expressive acting, so is this true for all horror movies?

The timing of the appearance of the "sixth sense" was too accurate and ingenious, and there was little room for Hugo to refuse.

It is more likely that Hugo, after understanding Robert's calculations, will willingly take over the script of "The Sixth Sense", because his heart is now boiling over. It's a wonderful feeling - because there is a lot of hope to star in the work of your choice, and the sense of anticipation and excitement is already warmed up; But at the same time, because of other people's calculations, even the changes and decisions in his own heart can be calculated, this kind of Chiguo's honesty is not only ashamed, but also a kind of diaphragm, and the feeling of being predicted by others to make his next move is really bad.

Hugo suddenly felt that Michael Eisner was a little pitiful - the famous Disney tyrant - and if Robert really had his eye on him, then Michael really couldn't sleep.

A thought flashed through Hugo's mind, but it didn't catch Robert's attention - or maybe he didn't care, only to see Robert smile and raise the champagne glass in his hand, "I hope we can work together happily." ”

Hugo raised his free hands and smiled, "Please take care of yourself." ”

The two of them soon left the balcony, and Hugo still felt a little uncomfortable after all, and when communicating with Robert, he was always cautious, because he was worried that his words would reveal too much information and were uneasy, and the feeling of looking ahead and backward was like being targeted by a lion, and it was really difficult to make people happy.

Returning to the banquet hall, Hugo was quickly taken away by two members of the Writers Guild of America, who introduced Hugo to the top of the East Coast Writers Guild - the Writers Guild of America is divided into two departments, the East Coast Writers Guild, representing the union of New York and the surrounding area, with more than 4,000 members; There is also the West Bank Writers Guild, which represents the screenwriters of California, with more than 8,000 members.

The relationship between the two screenwriters' unions is very delicate, and the cooperation is accompanied by internal competition. Overall, the East Coast Writers Guild is a bit more upright, with a group of screenwriters led by Woody Allen dismissive of the commercialization of the film industry, who do not reject commercial films, but refuse to compromise themselves because of commerce; The West Bank Writers Guild is more mature, larger, and more commercialized.

Although Hugo belongs to the West Coast Screenwriters' Guild, in fact, the East Coast Screenwriters' Guild has always praised Hugo, from the co-signed "The Shawshank Redemption" to the independent creation of "Before Sunrise" and "Perfect", Hugo's style has always been closer to the style of the East Coast.

After talking to these "literati" for about half an hour, Hugo was able to get out and see Joseph talking in a low voice with Jeffrey Katzenberg in the corner, Hugo went straight over, greeted the two men, and then talked about Robert. On the one hand, Hugo wanted to inquire about Jeffrey, and on the other hand, he also wanted Joseph to understand the situation so that he could communicate with Rick when he returned.

After listening to Hugo's words, Jeffrey was not surprised at all, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know which company's work 'The Sixth Sense' is?" ”

"Disney?" Hugo didn't go around the bend, and just spoke.

Jeffrey shook his head, "Bowei." "Bowei Film Company, affiliated to Disney, this company was originally created to produce and distribute works that violate the image of Disney's family joy brand, while protecting the Disney brand image, it also opens up the market for the diversification of the Disney brand.

David Volger Vogel) won the piece. Jeffrey continued, noting Hugo's confusion and explaining in a low voice, "The president of Broadway," and Jeffrey nodded in agreement with Joseph's explanation, "Actually, the producer behind this work is Frank Marshall. Marshall) and Kathleen Kennedy. ”

Hugo looked at Joseph again, and this time without waiting for Joseph to explain, Jeffrey said directly, "They are both old friends of Steven, and the names of both of them are in the list of producers of 'Schindler's List'." Hugo suddenly realized, "They can contact you through Steven, but David skips them and finds Robert and contacts you......"

Jeffrey's words were not finished, leaving a large blank space.

Hugo thought about it carefully, and then he reacted. No wonder Robert is so confident, his hole cards are not all revealed at all, in the case of the script itself is excellent and the character is attractive, Robert convinces Steven to come out, then Hugo is indeed difficult to refuse.

But David Volger bypassed Steven and sent Robert first...... Hugo's eyes lit up, and then Jeffrey nodded, agreeing with Hugo's thoughts, "They've set their sights on Esna." Wait, a year at most, and the news of Robert's entry into the Disney tenure will come out. ”

It has to be said that Jeffrey's sense of smell is so keen, according to the historical trajectory, Robert officially entered Dinis in February 1999 and became Michael Eisner's deputy.

It's a great game of chess! Hugo was still worried about Michael's sleep quality just now, and now it seems that Michael is really starting to worry.
