Suddenly, the script in Hugo's hand was snatched away, which made him startled, and when he looked up, it was Cameron, "Haven't you already finished reading the script, hurry, hurry, let's clean up and go out to eat." ”

Hugo originally wanted to say that he still needed to think about it, but seeing Cameron's expectant look, he swallowed all his words and showed a smile, "I can go out in my current outfit, what about you?" Aren't you going to change your clothes? ”

"Good! Give me five minutes, no, three minutes! Cameron immediately jumped up excitedly, then trotted barefoot into the room, dropped the script on the couch in the hall, and disappeared at the top of the stairs towards the second floor.

Looking at Cameron's back, Hugo opened his mouth, but he didn't open his mouth after all, just walked over in person, put the script next to the TV cabinet, and then picked up his phone and made a call to Rick, "Sorry, I forgot my time yesterday." ”

"It's fine, it's okay to let them wait." Rick didn't care at all, "Did you read the script that Columbia Pictures gave you?" I think the current script of 'Men in Black' is very good, and it suits you very well. "Columbia Pictures handed over three scripts, and the quality was much better than the one a month ago.

As Kevin worried, the news of Hugo's desire to appear in commercial films was released, and almost all the eight major film companies were ready to move, and the previous six months of Twentieth Century Fox did not have much advantage at all.

"Whew, I haven't had time to read it yet, let's talk about it tomorrow after I finish reading it." Hugo took his phone and walked outside, "I just finished reading the script, I think the current version is very good, but there are still some details that need to be adjusted, not a big deal." ”

"So you're willing to star in this script?" Rick is dispensable, these commercial movie scripts are almost the same to him, he believes in Hugo's vision, as long as Hugo nods and agrees, there is no problem, "Don't worry about Kevin's personal debts before, it's nothing." Rick was naturally very aware of Hugo's weaknesses.

"He's been planning for so long, so he has to see a little bit of gain, doesn't he? Besides, working with them is also good for the company. Hugo didn't know much about corporate affairs, but he also knew that although they currently had the upper hand in the "Independence Day" project, at the corporate level, Endeavour Elite Brokerage could not compete with Twentieth Century Fox, and for the company, they also needed the help of Twentieth Century Fox.

At this point, Twentieth Century Fox is a better choice than Columbia Pictures. Kevin's planning in the previous six months still played a crucial role.

"Still, didn't I pick two scripts before? What about the other one, how's it going? Hugo didn't have a strict preference for "Independence Day" and "The English Patient", so he just asked. However, after the complete change of the script for "Independence Day", Hugo's interest in the project is now starting to gain some of the upper hand.

"You mean 'British patients', Xavi has been working hard to promote this project, if you want, find a time to meet with Anthony Minghella." Rick naturally didn't forget about Jì, "But if you star, the time is estimated to be more difficult to arrange, and this work will take at least five months to shoot." ”

Although Rick didn't mention it, Hugo knew that Rick was worried about glory unto death. Henry naturally knew about the fact that there had been no activity for most of the past half a year in the past half a year of glory to death, and it was impossible for Rick to know nothing.

Five months is indeed too long, and with the time Hugo has had to learn the English accent, it will not be until June or July next year. Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you go talk to Kevin." If it really doesn't work, let's pick slowly, anyway, I've been on vacation very relaxed recently. ”

The past three months have been the most free and relaxing time for Hugo in the past four years, which has made Hugo quite happy.

"I know." Rick couldn't help but smile on his face, "You just wait for my news, by the way, Hugo, do you know Alan Strello?" ”

"Who?" Hugo was completely confused when he heard the name, and at this time, Cameron's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Let's go!" Let's go! This interrupted Hugo's last words.

Rick originally wanted to talk to Hugo in detail, including Hugo's specific views on the script, so that he could bring it up when he talked to Kevin further, but when he heard Cameron's voice, Rick also said knowingly, "You go to dinner, we'll get back in touch later." ”

"Sorry, Rick, I'll call you in the evening." Hugo only had time to say hello, then hung up the phone and quickly followed Cameron's footsteps.

Rick hung up the phone as well, but his eyes fell on the sticky note on the table, with a name written on it, "Alan Strello".

Ever since that meeting, Rick has been paying attention to Alan, and it is more difficult to find out about Eren than Rick thought. This Alan is a German, he has been in the United States for less than six months, he is rumored to be a billionaire, after coming to the United States, he has been in and out of all kinds of celebrities, top parties, and currently has an apartment on New York's Upper East Side, but usually lives in the Hampton near New York, which is a veritable rich area, where Allen bought a luxury villa with a sea view - a villa, but in fact it is equivalent to a manor.

It's not uncommon for a tycoon like Allen to be in a relationship with the top executives of major film companies such as Kevin Pence and Mark Canton, and it is not uncommon for him to want to invest in films, he is the investor behind the "Armageddon" project, and it is rumored that he wrote a check for $150 million.

However, Allen's net worth background is quite mysterious, and Rick only inquired that Allen's family background should be the fighter and military industry, which was quite influential in the former East Germany. In fact, it is not surprising that these people with related backgrounds are not so easy to find, and Rick is not a member of the circle of real billionaires.

The reason why Rick wanted to bring this up to Hugo was because Alan was obviously interested in the project that day, and his intention to cooperate with Hugo was very strong, and it was rumored that Alan asked "Hugo". Rick's first reaction was to think that Alan and Hugo were friends, after all, Hugo's celebrity school was much more advanced than him.

But looking at Hugo's reaction just now, there is nothing special, the name "Alan Strello" should still be a stranger to Hugo, so Hugo can't remember it at all. Rick guessed that it is estimated that a layman like Allen does not know much about making movies, Allen just knows that Hugo is the first person in Hollywood at present, and movies want to make money is naturally the best partner - billionaires like Allen, what they seek is to make money and profits, and the true nature of businessmen is eternal.

Putting this inconsequential issue aside for the time being, Rick took out the list of characters for "Doomsday", and now that Hugo had nodded his head, it was now the turn of Endeavour Elite Brokerage to make a move.

As Rick said, he hopes to be able to package and cooperate, and the roles in the movie mainly have lines, preferably from Endeavor elite agencies. Rick now needs to check the list of actors, arrange the actors in the company one by one, and then take the sword of Shang Fang with "Hugo nodded and agreed" to negotiate with Kevin. This is not an easy task, and even if Twentieth Century Fox is now in a weak position and is willing to agree to Rick's terms, Rick cannot arrange it arbitrarily.

Casting director, a role that is unfamiliar to many people, plays a pivotal role in the production of films. In addition to the protagonist, whether the other supporting roles can be chosen correctly also has a huge impact on the completion of the movie. What's more, the project "End of the World", in addition to the actor Steve, has several other important roles, if the casting fails, it will be a disaster, even if Hugo plays the leading role, it may not be able to turn the tide.

The president, the first lady, Steve's girlfriend Jasmin, all three roles have an important role, and there are several important leading roles, representatives of civilians, representatives of soldiers, representatives of government leadership...... Rick has a list of alternates behind each role, and then needs to make sure that their agents don't have conflicting schedules, and the whole workflow is huge.

Rick found that he still had too many limitations in his thinking alone, so he simply called the company's main partners over and held a meeting in the conference room to discuss, after all, this is a very important project for the entire Endeavor elite brokerage company, and it is also the first time they have tried to package a project, which is really difficult. Moreover, Endeavour elite agencies have their own competition, and each agent wants his own artists to be a part of it - they live on the actors' share.

After spending nearly five hours before and after, and making sure that each character had two to three alternates for Twentieth Century Fox to choose from, the preliminary preparations here at Endeavour Elite Agency were temporarily over.

Then, Rick made a phone call to Kevin, and after a painstaking discussion, the two sides exchanged views on several key issues, and then the initial intention to cooperate was determined. Rick was also not ambiguous, and immediately put the Columbia Pictures project aside and determined the direction of cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox.

After hanging up, both Rick and Kevin get busy. Once the cooperation of this project is reached, those delicate interests can be put aside for the time being, and it is important to see how Twentieth Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Agency can use this cooperation to maximize the benefits.

Undoubtedly, this is the time for the media to cooperate, and at the same time, the company needs to plan the next publicity plan properly. Not only do they need to avoid the tragedy of "Waterworld of the Future", but also make the "End of the World" project an epoch-making sensation in the entire North American film market, and both companies need to plan it well.

The hurricane has already begun to brew, and a new wave of earth-shaking is coming!
