Obviously, although the New York Post is very concerned about Hugo's "career prospects", the Hollywood industry has strong confidence in Hugo's future. Haven't you seen that Macaulay Calkin has been popular for three years with a "Home Owner" film, and the film has been on the rise until last year. It was not until his best father who completely cut off his back. Hugo's absolute strength in the past three years has made the whole Hollywood jealous, and some even think that Hugo can "turn stones into gold."

This is Hollywood, or rather, this is the true nature of a businessman.

The average quality of the five scripts Rick showed to Hugo this time was really impressive. If any actor had chosen one of them, it would be enough to be happy to choose one of them. Now, all of these works were presented on the table in front of Hugo, for him to choose.

Hugo's current momentum is evident.

After Columbia Pictures, Hugo reads scripts from Warner Bros. Disney. Neither of these two companies have worked with Hugo before, but obviously they are unwilling to miss the money tree Hugo. The two companies have a total of seven scripts, and Hugo picked out three and placed them on the right hand side.

After "Speed ​​of Life and Death" director Jane De Bonter became famous in one fell swoop, he instantly became a hot figure in major companies. This time he collaborated with Warner Bros. to create the disaster film "Twister", and the screenwriter found Michael Clayton, the director and screenwriter of "Jurassic Park", who has offered Hugo a $15 million payment in his current budget of 90 million.

The reputation of this work is actually average, but it is also a work worth mentioning in the disaster film of the 1990s. Its box office was excellent at that time and was recorded in history as the first DVD-published work in film history. Hugo's deep impression of this work was from Jane De's unclear directorial intention. He lacked a clear understanding of the script. On the one hand, he wanted to shoot a simple visual effects commercial blockbuster, but on the other hand, he spent a lot of time outlining the plot, hoping to dig out more deep-seated things. Unfortunately, the plot was a little pale and powerless, and the core idea was also dull.

But Hugo kept the script temporarily because of Jane De's personal relationship.

There are many old acquaintances from Warner Bros. Samuel Jackson and Sandra Brock have confirmed their performances, while Kevin Spacey is considering them. He mentioned that if Hugo is willing to play the leading role, he is very happy to play with Hugo. This work, which only invests 40 million US dollars, does not have much budget for the film pay, but the court-themed work similar to "Yihai Xiongfeng" gave Warner Bros. more confidence, so the script was submitted to Hugo.

Hugo had never seen this work. He planned to watch it before traveling through time because the protagonist of this work was Matthew McConaughey. I heard that Matthew's performance in it was praised a lot. This made Hugo very curious. Why did Matthew, who had polished his acting skills early, become a Vase Idol in the future? How good was Matthew's acting skills at that time?

Out of curiosity, Hugo kept the script temporarily, and he hoped to read it well.

Among Disney's many scripts, Hugo only left one, "Brave the Deadly Island (the.rock), this work is well-known. Later, the explosion king "sells copies" Michael Bay (fan Chael.bay) won numerous reputations with this work and won a big box office victory. The acting of the three major acting actors Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, and Ed Harris (ed.har Japanese) has added a lot of color to the work. This work can be regarded as a classic commercial blockbuster.

Hugo put the script on his right hand without any hesitation.

I have to say that so many scripts are all swarming in front of me. Some scripts are aimed at Hugo. Some projects are just one of the candidates. Of course, some projects are just cast with the mentality of trying it out. It may not be necessary to really put Hugo in the plan. But these excellent scripts really dazzled Hugo, and the glory of Hollywood in the 1990s gradually formed a clear blueprint.

But when Hugo saw the script of Universal Pictures, he couldn't help but laugh, "Rick, did Lang call you?"

In a blink of an eye, Lang has been the CEO of Universal Pictures for nearly a year, but Hugo and Lang have never had a direct contact. I don’t know what the situation will be like when they meet. But objectively speaking, Lang is now the representative of the film company. If he is facing third-tier actors, it can be said that the film company is the party that holds the power of life and death; but if he is facing top actors, then he will be a relationship of checks and balances between each other.

"Yes, we've had a lot of calls," Rick shrugged and said with ease. "He hopes to have more cooperation with our company."

From Tom Hanks to Clint Eastwood, from Al Pacino to Hugo Lancaster, Engagement Elite Agency has indeed initially owned the capital for negotiations, and in the past year, Long's situation is not wonderful. Except for the box office of "Modern Primitive Man", no work in Universal Pictures has exceeded 50 million US dollars.

Therefore, Lang is naturally very willing to establish a good relationship with Rick, and he also needs Hugo, who is currently in a prosperous position, to bring him more success in his performance.

"He also asked about your situation and wanted to see when he could have a formal meeting with you." Rick said with a smile.

Hugo raised his head and looked at Joseph, and couldn't help laughing. Fengshui took turns. Now, it was obvious that Hugo had already gained the upper hand in the confrontation between Hugo and Lang, and Lang was the one who needed to ask Hugo for help. Lang clearly knew how many scripts Hugo had to choose.

So Universal Pictures also seemed very active. They only gave Hugo three scripts, but two of them were left by Hugo. The probability was higher than that of Columbia Pictures.

Hugo was actually quite hesitant about whether to leave the script "Casino No" which was written by Nicholas.pileggi, who wrote the "Good Guy", and it was also another collaboration between him and Martin Scorsis.

Martin is always one of the directors who desire to work with him, and this work is also the last of Martin's crime trilogy, and its artistic value is unquestionable.

But Hugo believes that in the work "Casino Storm", Martin actually has a little bit of style struggle and transformation, which is to transform from an artistic documentary style to an artistic depiction of documentary themes, so the relationship between the male and female protagonists is slightly similar to the relationship between the male and female protagonists. Since this work was conceived after the "Innocent Era", Hugo has always doubted whether Martin has more obsession with the love of his children. This is slightly inconsistent with the works of gangster themes, and the processing is not as good as the "past events of the United States".

Overall, "Casino Wind" is a good work, but it has not reached the height of a masterpiece.

Hugo was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't refuse Martin Scorses's "charm" and put the script on his right hand.

When Rick saw Hugo, he immediately put the script "Twelve Monkeys (12. Touch Nkeys)" on his right hand, he looked at Joseph helplessly. The investment cost of this script is only 29 million, and the salary given to Hugo can only be 8 million. This is already a high-cost production in independent films. Moreover, this science fiction work is a bit off and the theme is very unpopular, even more niche than "pulp novels" and "before sunrise".

Rick originally didn't want Hugo to choose this script, but he guessed that Hugo would be interested in it because the script was really good.

If Rick had said his thoughts, Hugo would probably have widened his eyes and told him: This is not just a good work, it is also a classic work!

"Twelve Monkeys" can be regarded as an absolute classic in science fiction cult movies. This work not only has a complete worldview and meticulous narrative structure, but also can withstand the audience's repeated scrutiny. The story explores a profound topic like "whether humans can rely on their own strength to change their past", and the connotation is worthy of careful recollection; and the outline of the characters in the movie is even more meticulous. This work allows the world to truly see Brad Pitt's acting skills in the sense of the first time.

Indeed, it was Brad Pitt.

Although "Love Years" and "Night Visit to Vampire" made Brad an idol of the nation, and the former also made Brad nominated for acting at the Golden Globes for the first time, "Twelve Monkeys" was Brad's first work that really won all the praises of critics, and this work won him the first Oscar nomination.

Brad's performance in this movie is crazy but delicate. His young and unrestrained performance is indeed remarkable, and it even reminds people of Leonardo's performance in "Different Sky" last year.

Strictly speaking, "Twelve Monkeys" is the first time that Hugo saw all the scripts today, because this work made Hugo feel the challenge of acting again, and he was quite eager to try it out.

Many masterpieces made Hugo feel high at this time. The rest and relaxation of the past few months almost made Hugo forget how beautiful the performance moments were. Although the performances of "Pulp Novels" and "Before Sunrise" gave Hugo a lot of experience, the feeling of tension and excitement in oppression during the previous "Schindler's List" period has not been tasted for a long time, and these dazzling scripts on the table made Hugo feel his desire for acting again.
