1456 Friends Bottom Line
Steven raised his eyes and looked at Hugo carefully, I don't know when he had finished thinking and turned his attention to Hugo...... For more up-to-date chapters, visit wรจn:ัw. Hugo also noticed the gaze that fell on him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Steven's eyes hidden under the thick eyebrows, "Hugo, you have thought that I would ask you for these opinions, and you will use that kind of ...... Chengzhu in the tone of the 'chest' to 'cross' with me? โ
Hugo was stunned, at this time Steven's expression seemed very strict, and the majesty of the entire superior appeared again, it seemed that Hugo's words just now were a little too taken for granted, in Steven's opinion, it was obviously a little condescending, which made Steven very uncomfortable.
However, Hugo did not panic, but 'revealed' a smile, "Do you mean, when I was filming 'Schindler's List', I pointed directly at you and scolded?" This sentence was completely unexpected by Steven, who was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "No, I definitely didn't think about such a scene at that time." โ
Steven lowered his head and chuckled, and then said, "Two weeks ago, the three of us went to Las Vegas, in fact, because of the distribution department', we were looking at some small distribution companies to see if there was a need to establish a distribution department' and then make acquisitions. โ
Hugo was very surprised, Steven only asked for his opinion today, but in fact, they had already begun to prepare.
"However, as you know, DreamWorks does not have the support of a consortium, and all of them need to rely on ourselves, and we are also carefully reviewing whether this is necessary." Steven's words made Hugo twitch his chin slightly.
Although it seems that the Big Three of DreamWorks are all wealthy, Hollywood is a game on Wall Street, and the movement is calculated in billions, which is why large film companies must rely on the support of the consortium, because personal wealth is only a drop in the bucket. Now that DreamWorks' first batch of self-produced films have been launched, it is conceivable that their funds will be even tighter.
Perhaps, in history, DreamWorks has also considered setting up its own distribution department, but in the end it was not confident enough in the ratio of pay to return, so it gave up.
"After listening to your opinion today, I thought maybe we would have a different opinion." Steven did not comment on Hugo's opinion, but simply said it.
It can be seen that although Steven discussed such an important and confidential issue with Hugo today, he still has reservations. Even so, this is amazing enough, and with the fact that ILM is doing so, two huge investments in Twentieth Century Fox, and so on, this qiฤ means that Hugo has officially entered the center circle of power in Hollywood, and he even has the ability to make a difference in the future development of the industry.
Hugo had no intention of continuing the discussion, because he was self-aware, just like in ILM, everything he knew was skin, all of it was on paper, and these were not his areas of expertise, so there was no need to pretend not to understand.
"So, you're not interested in that project with James?" Steven changed the topic with a smile, it can be seen that he is preoccupied, but for this kind of bigwig-level character, there are things to worry about almost every day, and he can adjust it himself.
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "What, do you want me to be interested?" Or are you a lobbyist again? Steven's connections are all over Hollywood, and everyone generally knows that the relationship between Steven and Hugo is both teacher and friend, so Steven has been approached as a lobbyist several times, which is really laughable.
Steven immediately 'revealed' a disgusted expression, "I'm not so casual, even if I want to be a lobbyist, I will convince you to join the 'Men in Black' first." โ
"Aha, I've forgotten about this stubble." Hugo nodded repeatedly, "So the script has been revised now?" โ
"What, you're really interested?" Steven immediately smiled, "I originally thought that if you took over the work 'Independence Day', you wouldn't be interested in commercial films in the short term." โ
"Why are you always willing to label me? I'm really a very easy-going actor. Hugo shrugged innocently, only to get a speechless roll of Steven's eyes, and Hugo himself couldn't help laughing, "I mean really! However, the script of "Men in Black", I don't know if you have considered a different model, such as a black man and a white partner, I personally think that Will Smith should be very popular with the audience. โ
In fact, at least one-third of the credit for the success of the "Man in Black" should be credited to Will. Although after entering 2009, Will's box office appeal is no longer what it used to be, and like Tom Cruise, it has fallen into a low 'tide' period, but the "Men in Black" series is still his trump card, and his humorous, approachable, and heroic image has won countless loves.
If a male protagonist is replaced, Hugo is not sure whether "Men in Black" will still be successful.
Steven raised his glass and smiled, "So, you're an opinion expert now?" โ
Obviously, Steven doesn't like Hugo to interfere with his decision, after all, Hugo has nothing to do with the crew of "Men in Black", if Hugo is the actor of "Men in Black", it is understandable to build a rival actor, Hugo has such qualifications now, but obviously things are not like this.
Hugo raised his hands in surrender, "I'm sorry, I crossed that line, I'll save my opinion for tomorrow and have a good talk with Roland." Hugo's playful words lightened the slightly stern atmosphere again, and Steven chuckled softly, and the two of them did not continue on the topic.
After the meal, it was already early ten o'clock, and when Hugo and Steven left the "cut", a group of paparazzi suddenly swarmed at the "door" and quickly pressed the flash in their hands.
For such a situation, the two of them have been prepared for a long time, and today they did not deliberately hide their travel, and Hugo was also recognized by the other people at the 'door' of the restaurant, so it was not unusual for the paparazzi to learn about it. Hugo and Steven were both very calm, surrounded by paparazzi, after saying goodbye with a smile, Hugo stood in place and watched Steven get in the car and drive away.
The paparazzi frantically pressed the fast door on the car that Steven left, and a small group of paparazzi also swarmed towards their cars, quickly catching up with Steven, and the remaining small group of paparazzi surrounded Hugo, lest one of them pay attention and Hugo left.
But apparently the paparazzi miscalculated, Hugo showed no signs of being in a hurry at all, the car driven by Samora was nowhere to be seen, and Hugo actually began to walk along Wilcher's Boulevard, which made the paparazzi panic.
"Hugo, what did you talk to Steven about tonight?"
"Is it about the next work you're going to work on?"
"I heard that James Cameron also showed up just now, is he in touch with you?"
"During the 'Independence Day' filming, you took time out to dine with Steven, but you were reluctant to participate in the Golden Globes and the Grammys, what is the reason?"
"Are you going to work together again?"
The sound of questions was accompanied by flashing lights swarming in all directions, but Hugo never answered, just walked slowly along the street, dragging a large group of paparazzi hula and forward, the scene was spectacular.
"Hugo, Hugo, Hugo......" A series of rapid and sharp shouts came out, and Hugo saw the short, thin green face, which was Brian Heveson and Austin Wicchedeck, two underage paparazzi.
"Hey, guys." Hugo actually responded, smiling at the camera of the two little guys, which made the other paparazzi around him depressed. Hugo still didn't remember the names of the two children, but his face was at least impressive.
Brian quickly followed Hugo's side, and although there were still seven or eight paparazzi following him at this time, half of them passed towards Steven, so the surroundings were already much more relaxed, "Hugo, why are you dining with Steven tonight?" โ
"A friend's 'private' gathering." Hugo didn't shy away anymore, and replied with a smile on his face, Austin next to him was still taking pictures, and his mouth was still shouting, "Hugo, smile, smile!" Hugo looked at Austin's camera and compared a scissorhands, and Austin immediately pressed the fast door to record the moment.
"Is it just a gathering of friends?" Brian saw the stitches and 'inserted' the needle to reconfirm.
"Yes," Hugo nodded, smiling and gesturing to the restaurant behind him, "David showed us about this restaurant before, and Steven and I have been very greedy, and we finally booked a place tonight, so we rushed over to make up for it." โ
Hugo explained the whole situation in a few words, and the other paparazzi around him closed their mouths, "You don't want to continue with me, I just want to walk home." So, I guess you can call it a day early to avoid your parents worrying all the time. โ
After Hugo finished speaking, Brian and Austin both laughed, "Thanks, we'll be back soon." Brian said quickly, "Hugo, I hope you have a good night's sleep." Then he pulled Austin and stood where he was, not following any further.
Hugo waved at the two men, still calmly walking forward. The remaining paparazzi followed a few more steps, but found that no matter what they asked, Hugo had no intention of speaking, and after thinking about it carefully, they had already achieved their goal, and there was no point in continuing to follow, so they stopped one after another.
It's just that they don't have such a good treatment, and Hugo doesn't pay attention to them at all and continues to move on on his own. The paparazzi watched Hugo's back for a while, and then they scattered as birds and beasts - 37235 + dsuaahhh + 27091459 - >
