Cameron only stayed in Long Beach for three days, because Cameron was caught by the paparazzi when he went back to Los Angeles to shop, and they all knew that Cameron had disappeared for three days - apparently to join Hugo, so almost half of the paparazzi in Los Angeles followed Cameron, and she could only stay in the City of Angels honestly.

Rick was also anxious about Cameron's wayward behavior, because many media outlets smelled clues from it, and it was vaguely guessed that Hugo was within the limits of California, maybe around Los Angeles. In order to cover Hugo's whereabouts, Rick had to push Tom Hanks out.

Rick released the news, Steven Spielberg is now preparing a movie, the actor is likely to be Tom Hanks - "Apollo 13" After that, Tom just directed and starred in an "unstoppable miracle", the movie was released in September last year, the response was average, it did not cause too much discussion, but Charlize as the heroine achieved a lot of response.

In addition, the film will also be an epic blockbuster, with a cast of more than 200 people, and will be the first work since the founding of DreamWorks to truly try to shake up the market landscape.

This kind of news was originally strictly confidential, but now not only has it been released, but the truth has been confirmed a lot - Rick had also discussed it with Steven and others before releasing the news, so the news from various sources suddenly began to increase. In addition to the influence of the two top superstars, Tom and Steven, DreamWorks' big move is undoubtedly what people care about the most.

It's been nearly three years since DreamWorks was founded, and last year's "Amistad" and other works were DreamWorks' test works, and the overall response was quite positive. But as we all know, DreamWorks ambitions definitely don't have anything to do with it, both the influence of the Big Three and their close relationships with Endeavour Elite Agency, Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Universal Pictures, etc., all mean that this is a top player.

Now, this "epic production" will be the first work of DreamWorks to show its true strength, and the impact will naturally be extraordinary. When "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" began the last wave of pre-release promotion, these news were completely detonated, and it became extremely lively overnight.

In the context of the summer season is about to kick off, Rick spent a lot of effort to finally cover up the past, so that Hugo can continue to recuperate in Long Beach.

For this reason, Rick had to talk to Cameron once, hoping that Cameron could discuss it with him before making a decision, after all, the recent period has been very special for Hugo, and they need to stick together to solve the problem.

At this time, Rick was on the phone and told Hugo about the outcome of that conversation, "If she wants to go to Long Beach, I can help, and it's not impossible to avoid the paparazzi." I just hope she's not so reckless anymore. Sorry, Hugo, I didn't mean to interfere in your love life, just ......"

"I know, it's your job, too." Listening to Rick's apology, Hugo chuckled twice, "After all, I caused these things myself, didn't I?" In fact, at the beginning, it was also because he needed a clean space to rest, and Rick did not object or protest at all, and offered to help without saying a word.

Rick breathed a sigh of relief, many times the private life of an artist is often involved in many issues, not only the paparazzi, but also agents, commercial contracts, etc. Hugo was a very private person, so these things became particularly tricky to deal with. During this time, Rick hardly slept, and played such a big game of chess temporarily, and it couldn't affect Steven's plans for this important project next, nor could it disrupt the opportunity of Endeavor Elite Agency, which completely consumed all of Rick's brain power and energy.

"So, how are you recuperating now?" Rick didn't say anything more, just changed the subject with ease. This is also the tacit understanding that he has produced in the past few years of cooperation with Hugo.

Hugo chuckled twice, "I'm almost used to my current life." "In fact, the crisis after the tour is mainly due to the huge gap between the two life styles, and the mentality has not been adjusted, after this period of precipitation, especially the amateur life here in Long Beach is very rich, so not only Hugo, but also other people who have died of glory have completely recovered." It's just right that you call me, and even if you don't contact me, I'm going to contact Joe and let him tell you that I've decided on the script. ”

"Really? That's definitely good news, and I think they can't wait. Rick laughed, "There's also a reason I'm calling you today because, Paul Thomas Anderson has expressed a desire to meet with you in person and talk about the script in detail. ”

Paul...... Thinking of this talented director, Hugo was inevitably a little moved, but this time he controlled it well, "I chose 'L.A. Confidential', and you can start arranging contract negotiations with Warner Bros." ”

Choosing "L.A. Confidential" means that Hugo will become the producer of this film, and the next step will not only be the work of Endeavor Elite Agency, but more importantly, Hugo's work will change. So, the next busyness is already predictable.

"Oh, why?" Rick actually hoped that Hugo would take over the filming of "L.A. Confidential", and from the agent's point of view, the producer of "L.A. Confidential" was a huge breakthrough for Hugo, which was also a height that the two scripts of "Unruly Night" and "Murder of Green Toes" could not reach. That's all. But Rick didn't tell Hugo what he was thinking.

Hugo chuckled, "Because a friend told me that many times, when you start to weigh the pros and cons, the pros and cons, then the choice becomes extremely difficult, because every choice has pros and cons, and there is no perfect thing in the world." So, it's better to throw away all these coins and choose the one that best suits your aura, or ...... Toss a coin, when the coin appears with the answer, whether the heart is joy, disappointment or hesitation, in fact, the answer has already come out. ”

Charlize told Hugo these words, in fact, Hugo and Charlize talked a lot that night, and also talked a lot when they drove back the next day. When Hugo talked about the difficulty of choosing, he was ridiculed by Charlize fiercely.

If Hugo used to choose a script, there was always a reason, either the script, the character, or the director, now Hugo has everything, and the challenges seem to be gone, so he has lost his goal. But in Charlize's view, this is Hugo's own suffering. "It's better to make a decision than to weigh the pros and cons and then give it your all, that's what Hugo Lancaster is", are Charlize's exact words.

As Charlize said, the reason why the script selection was so difficult this time was because there were not enough challenges, such as the script, the director, the acting, and so on. This is also the whole atmosphere of Hugo's recent slump, and he can't find a goal to continue working on in the future. But this kind of worry and confusion, there is no way to come up with an answer for sitting at home and meditating, it is better to make a choice, and after trying, you will know whether you like or reject it in your heart.

"So, you chose 'L.A. Confidential'?" Rick chuckled.

Hugo shrugged, "Two reasons, I really like this script, and the producer position does sound fresh." Of course, if I fail after trying, I can make temporary adjustments. ”

After talking to Charlize, Hugo's mentality gradually adjusted, because he knew that none of these three scripts would be the wrong choice. Compared with "Unruly Night" and "Murder of Green Toes", Hugo has always had a preference for "Los Angeles Confidential" deep down. This is also an important reason why Hugo began to get excited after Barry Meyer revealed his wind in Berlin. So, this choice is not as difficult as imagined.

Rick chuckled, "While I want to say that I've always supported your decision, this time, I wholeheartedly agree. Next, his work is going to get busy again, but instead of fighting with the media recently, he is intriguing with Warner Bros., but he is full of fighting spirit because he knows that this is another development opportunity for Endeavor Elite Agency.

"So, I rejected the other two scripts for you?" Rick continued.

Hugo thought for a moment, "I'll call the Coen brothers, it's really my faux pas to delay for so long." "Although there is no way to cooperate this time, but there is a chance in the future, Hugo still hopes to be able to cooperate with these two brothers with full personalities and talents," as for Thomas Anderson......" Hugo paused, "you can arrange a meeting according to his request, I hope to talk to him in person, and then express my apologies." ”

Rick chuckled, "You can see that you value them very much, are you sure they are good?" As far as I know, neither the Coen brothers nor Thomas Anderson have an agent at the moment. ”

Rick's perspective on the problem is completely different from Hugo's, which made Hugo raise his eyebrows slightly, "If that's the case, then I think Endeavour Elite Brokerage should fight for their contract and go all out." ”

Rick originally just felt his attention from Hugo's tone and casually mentioned it, but it was completely unexpected to get such an answer, but he also knew that Hugo would never be untargeted. Joanna Rowling, who was previously introduced by Hugo, has officially signed a contract with the publishing house for her "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and has received a signing fee of $240,000, and the book will be officially released next month.

"Well, it looks like I'll need to arrange a meeting with them too." Rick carefully jotted it down in his notepad.
