"Carl, how about Charlize's audition for the evening?" Hugo turned his head and looked at the two people who had just walked in and asked with ease.

Before Carl could speak, Charlize said, "There's no chance. Gwyneth probably won the role, and he was all about her tonight." Charlize walked straight to the kitchen and searched around, "Samora, is there no juice?"

"Uh, there seems to be a bottle in the drawer on the lower level of the refrigerator." Samora stood up and walked towards the kitchen as she said.

Carl walked to the sofa and shook her head, "The competitor is too strong. Ali called on the way back. I discussed it with him. He said he could try it again, but he didn't have much hope." Carl stretched, but his expression was not too disappointed. "But it's always good to be able to attend such a dinner, and failure is just a rich experience. What about Hugo? There should be no problem. I think Brad is so good, but compared with Hugo, it's more than a street worse than Hugo."

Carl's words made Joseph laugh directly, and he raised his right hand. The two of them slapped each other for a while, making Rick's tense mood completely relax.

"Hugo and Brad..." Rick said, but paused, "Their competition is not on this level."

Rick suddenly thought that if Hugo competed for the role of Anonymous, then the entire pattern of the "Seven Deadly Sins" would be different. Currently in Mills' competition, Brad lacks the strong competitor Hugo, and he is probably able to get on the stage smoothly; the heroine Tracy is just about Gwyneth Paltrow. If so, this will also increase Brad's bargaining chips, after all, they are dating; Shamose is the thing in Morgan Freeman's pocket. Whether the director is David Fincher still needs to be verified, but the chance is already very high.

Rick's brow frowned slightly. In this way, who is Hugo's opponent? Rick's mind suddenly lit up. Kevin Spacey! Who is Kevin's agent? Rick's brain has begun to run quickly.

If Hugo knew that Rick had guessed the entire cast of "Seven Deadly Sins" just by relying on tonight's conversation and the information obtained by Joseph, he would have guessed that he would be surprised to be speechless. Because although everyone was chatting tonight, the information that was revealed could almost be said to be missing. All situations require the agent to make his own judgment. This is also one of the skills that top agents must possess: accurately grasp the situation.

Martin Baum accurately grasped his lifeline today and found David Finch; and although Rick took a different approach, he concluded that he was definitely not weaker than Martin.

"Oh, Rick!" Hugo's voice awakened Rick in contemplation. Rick then realized that he had just been distracted. Joseph and Carl also went to the restaurant. He heard the noisy sound and probably was preparing to have a midnight snack. They had almost nothing to eat at the private banquet tonight. Now there are only Hugo and him left in the hall.

"I talked to Tom today, and we both said we were open." If Joseph hadn't reminded, Hugo had forgotten to tell Rick about this. Hugo and Tom Cruise were completely fine, which was very important for Rick's work because most reporters are Rick blocking Hugo. "Then, we also said that we had a fair competition and I would do my best."

Rick's happy expression paused before he could stretch his face, "You mean... are you sure you are willing to play the 'Mission Impossible'?" Rick asked uncertainly.

But Hugo nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I do, you should help me with all your efforts."

Because of malicious hype before, Hugo's enthusiasm for "Mission Impossible" has decreased a lot. Rick thought that this matter was about to be stranded, but he didn't expect that it would be a turnaround now. This is a happy event! Rick suddenly became excited. If Hugo was willing to play "Mission Impossible", then the Anonymous of "Seven Deadly Sins" would be even more fine. He would definitely do his best to fight for both roles for Hugo!

"Do you have any special requests?" Rick's tone completely relaxed. If he had known that Hugo would be willing to play "Mission Impossible", the disputes and concerns about the "Seven Deadly Sins" just now would have been unnecessary.

But things are so wonderful that if Rick had known it, maybe the trust between him and Hugo would not have been able to take this step.

Hugo pursed his lips and thought about it seriously, "Well, don't have conflicts in schedules? I don't want to give up on the 'Seven Deadly Sins' and 'Mission Impossible'." The scheduling problem is the biggest problem. This not only requires Rick to work hard, but also requires the cooperation of the film company, so Hugo is not sure.

But Rick nodded seriously, "I will communicate with them first." Then he pondered for a moment, "then we will give up on the 'brave island'?"

Although they were hesitant about "Breaking into the Deadly Island" during this period because they were not sure if Hugo joined, Sean Connery was willing to play; but Rick still maintained a relationship and did not completely disappear.

Hugo did not hesitate anymore this time and gave a neat and affirmative answer.

"Where is the pay?" Rick asked directly.

Hugo chuckled, "If I can play, I'm willing to lower my pay." This sentence made Rick sneer gently. Hugo lowered his pay, this is not news. On the contrary, Hugo's increase his pay. "You know what I mean."

Of course Rick knew that Hugo showed enough sincerity and hoped to cooperate with "Mission Impossible". "But I think even if you are willing to reduce your salary, Paramount may not agree. They need your salary of 20 million." As a promotional stunt.

"But things are not sure, we still have to see Tom's reaction." Rick's brain started to run quickly again, "And if Paramount really raises your pay to 20 million, it is estimated that several other major film companies will react. It is not sure whether Paramount can withstand the pressure at that time..." Speaking of this, Rick's voice gradually lowered, and he thought of one thing:

If Paramount insists on his own and wants to use Hugo's 20 million yuan in pay for promotion, which will lead to a joint resistance from the film companies? On the one hand, they are unwilling to increase their pay too quickly, and on the other hand, they do not want to see Paramount use this time to make a profit, so this situation is likely to occur. The main thing is to see the game between these big companies. If other companies really join forces to put pressure on Paramount, and Tom uses his strong connections to use both soft and hard work to Paramount, and then join "Mission Impossible" for a pay of 15 million or even 10 million yuan, maybe Paramount will have the possibility of compromise.

You know, compared to Hugo, Tom not only has no disadvantages, but his image is also more "friendly" than Hugo. Hugo has taken on weird works such as "pulp novels", "life and death speed", and "before sunrise", but Tom did not.

The work "Mission Impossible" is no longer that simple now. After a period of malicious hype in recent times, coupled with the dissatisfaction with Hugo's pay at the beginning of the year, this work is more like a medium for a new round of game between the agency and the film company. What will happen will suddenly become unpredictable.

However, on the other hand, if it works well, regardless of whether Hugo takes over the "Mission Impossible" work, the controversy about Hugo's pay will completely disappear. Because it is very likely that it will evolve into that Hugo wants to get a 20 million yuan pay, but the film company joins forces to oppose it. Then, as long as Hugo takes another 10 million or 15 million yuan work, the discussion about the pay will temporarily disappear for a long time.

Of course, if Hugo can take over "Mission Impossible" and take over "Seven Deadly Sins" and the dispute will disappear, that will be a perfect situation.

Rick suddenly realized that this incident was far more complicated than he thought, but at the same time it was full of opportunities. It was Hugo's opportunity, Alex and Carl's opportunity, and it was also an opportunity to strive for elite agency. The more thoughts in his mind were getting more and more, Rick couldn't help but lean towards the back of the sofa and thought quietly, and even Hugo walked away from the hall and walked towards the restaurant.

If Hugo gives up on "Brave into the Deadly Island", then Rick can cooperate with Ali to promote and let Alex take over Hugo's position. On the one hand, this is a rare opportunity for Enjin Elite Brokerage. Although Hugo will not play, the fat water will not be left behind. On the other hand, Rick heard that Nicholas Cage is working hard to win this role. This is not only a competition between Enjin Elite Brokerage and International Innovation Management Company, but also a matter of giving Joseph a breath.

Rick thinks he can plan three times with one stone.

As for Hugo, Rick suddenly discovered that "Brave the Deadly Island" gathered many big names. They were struggling to arrange their pay, but they could definitely come up with a reasonable plan. If Hugo successfully joined the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew, his current status is definitely higher than Brad and Gwyneth. Although Morgan was older, his qualifications were not much more senior than Hugo, not to mention that he often appeared as a supporting role and his pay was always low. In this way, it was not impossible to increase Hugo's pay.

If Hugo joins the Mission: Impossible crew, it doesn't matter if the pay is reduced here in the "Seven Deadly Sins", because the dispute will be resolved in the "Mission: Impossible"; if Hugo did not join the "Mission: Impossible" crew, Rick could use the pay dispute to seek more benefits for Hugo in the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew.

This is Hollywood. Nothing exists independently, but more closely linked and affects the whole body.

Thinking of this, Rick's eyes lit up. As Carl said just now: Hugo's pay is higher than Brad, isn't this a matter of course? Even if Hugo is a supporting role.
