Chapter 1374 1374 The fox casts a net

When dinner began, the sunset had already sunk below the sea level. The dark blue moonlight shrouded on the calm sea, with a hint of chill. A group of people gathered around the barbecue grill in Samora, looking salivating.

Hugo was holding the chicken wings he had just snatched from Leonardo's mouth and was having a lot of fun gnawing. Alex stood by with an empty plate with a depressed look on his face, trying to chew the chicken wings in Hugo's hand with a vision. However, Hugo seemed to have not seen him and was still having a great time eating.

Alfonso walked towards him, holding two sausages and a steak on the plate. As a result, Alex snatched away the steak when Alfonso was not paying attention, and took it with his hands and delivered it directly into his mouth. It was like a poor child who had been hungry for several days. Alfonso was stunned. Cameron, Joseph and others, who were two steps away, saw it, and cursed, "Alex! Do you want to be so exaggerated!"

Alfonso looked down and smiled helplessly, but before he could deliver the sausage into his mouth, Pedro jumped out from behind and cleared Alfonso's plate, which made Hugo sitting beside him hilarious and almost choked by his saliva.

Alfonso sat down opposite Hugo with a depressed look on his face. Hugo chuckled, "Don't you go to Samora to continue waiting? If you continue like this, you will be hungry tonight."

Alfonso waved the empty plate in his hand and curled his lips, "They are not really hungry, they are just happier to steal other people's." Hugo was also guilty when he said this. He looked at the chicken wings that had been chewed halfway in his hand, paused for a moment, and then continued to chew happily.

"I just heard Pepe say that Leo and Charlize are going to co-star in a work?" Alfonso looked at his friends who were fighting next to him and asked casually.

Hugo didn't think much about it, nodded and replied casually, "The two of them received the same script, but they still have to audition, and I don't know what the development will be in the future."

If Hugo remembers correctly, the male protagonist of the script "Romeo and Juliet" locked Leonardo, but the female protagonist initially locked Natalie Portman. Unfortunately, it was not successful later. The candidate for the female protagonist has been repeatedly turned around. When it was almost declared that the childbirth must be put on hold, Claire won the role at the last moment.

So, Hugo couldn't tell how the situation would develop this time.

"What about you?" Alfonso nodded and asked curiously.

This made Hugo pause. Not long ago, there was a dispute over the time allocation of Hugo by the Glory to Death band, and Alfonso was not present at that time. Although Pedro and Neil went to talk to Alfonso alone later, Hugo was not sure if Alfonso had any ideas.

In fact, in the past six months after the rest of Glory until his death, Alfonso was the busiest one and had been running around. I heard Neil mention once before that Alfonso was busy with his own affairs, and the team members rarely saw him.

When Alfonso suddenly mentioned this, Hugo couldn't help but become serious and looked up at Alfonso. He saw that Alfonso still had a casual expression on his face, and it didn't seem special. Maybe Hugo was thinking too much, but he had to face it because he and Alfonso had never had a good talk.

"Alfonso, are you worried about the band's next activities? If it's this..." Hugo's personality is very frank. When facing his teammates, he did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his guesses and doubts.

Alfonso was stunned and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no..." After saying that, he couldn't help but chuckled, "Pepe and Neil have talked about these things, and have communicated with Fujin today. I have always known that music creation is not that simple, so I am not in a hurry. We had a consensus on this at the beginning of the band, right?"

Hugo looked Alfonso's gaze seriously. He had never expected Alfonso to be so generous in this matter. In Alfonso's eyes, Hugo saw calmness and sincerity, which made Hugo laugh, "Sorry, I'm thinking too much. I just feel that I have a great responsibility for this matter, and I must communicate with you in person..."

"Hugo, we are not only teammates, but also friends." Alfonso said with a smile on his face. These simple words made Hugo feel embarrassed. Alfonso glanced at Hugo, had an unobvious hesitation, and then asked, "Actually, I want to say that last time Henry mentioned a movie project with us and wanted to invite our band members to play, is it true?"

Hugo was stunned. He didn't react at all. "What project?" He had no impression of it at all, and Henry had never mentioned it to him.

After the topic was raised, Alfonso seemed a little more comfortable. "It was the project that DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox collaborated on... "Hugo was still confused. There were obviously many cooperations between the two companies recently, and Hugo didn't know them all. "Tom Hanks plans to write the script and direct the work, about rock works in the 1960s."

"Ah... are you saying 'Unstop miracle'?" Hugo came to his senses. Rick actually mentioned this work once to him. At that time, he said that Tom Hanks had this intention and wanted to invite Charlize to play, and members who were honored to die were also in the plan. This is a part of the huge plan of the 20th Century Fox.

However, Hugo hadn't heard the turbulence of this work for a while, and neither Charlize nor Tom mentioned it to Hugo, so when Alfonso mentioned it just now, he was completely confused.

"What's wrong? This project has officially sent Henry to invite him?" Hugo looked puzzled. "I haven't heard Henry or Rick mention it, and Tom has never talked to me." Although Hugo and Tom Cruise are more familiar with each other, since Rick is their co-agent, Hugo and Tom Hanks will occasionally contact each other.

Hugo looked at Alfonso with questions, but saw the hesitation and hesitation in Alfonso's eyes, which made Hugo even more puzzled: Why does Alfonso always seem to be speechless today?

Suddenly, an idea suddenly popped up.

Twentieth Century Fox has been making plans since April. At present, it seems that the ultimate goal should be "Independence Day" or there are more long-term goals. But it is undeniable that since then, the cooperation between Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite brokerage companies has become closer. Among them, "Love is the only" and "Romeo and Juliet" can be regarded as one of their plan puzzles, and "Unstopped Miracle" is even more so.

Kevin Pence is planning a huge blueprint, and in this blueprint, Hugo is a very important part of it. Therefore, many projects are centered around Hugo. Kevin obviously wants to enhance cooperation with Hugo friends and bring closer relationships with Hugo. The so-called "connections" are often built silently.

If "Independence Day" really has such far-reaching significance as Rick said, then if cooperation can be reached in the end, Kevin will obviously have a great victory.

Perhaps, "The Unstoppable Miracle" is one of the puzzles, because this work can fully link Tom, Charlize, Glory to Death with DreamWorks and the Elite Brokerage Company, which is of great significance. Of course, the more important significance of this work is that it is to get close to Tom and Hugo can only be considered a by-passenger at most.

Now, Kevin's idea is obviously half successful. Because Alfonso became interested in the "unstoppable miracle", he mentioned it in front of Hugo, and even felt hesitation and brewing of wanting to speak but stop. This made the thoughts in Hugo's mind continue to spread, and various possibilities began to emerge.

Hugo doesn't like this feeling. Logically speaking, he is now the star-like moon. In order to achieve his cooperation project with him, Twentieth Century Fox has made huge plans to achieve his goals, and even provided Hugo's friends with many good opportunities. This was a good thing. But in Hugo's opinion, the originally simple friendship is now clearly marked, and the price is marked based on the friend's influence on Hugo, and then the 20th Century Fox invests to finally achieve the goal. This makes Hugo feel a little uncomfortable.

Hugo felt that Twentieth Century Fox was casting a net and weaving a big net. The target of this net was Hugo himself, which made Hugo feel like he was prey, and his friends became bait. This feeling was not beautiful.

But Hugo also knew that this was not just Hollywood, but in fact, the whole society was like this. The so-called connections are resources, wealth, and they needed to be operated and planned. The reason why 20th Century Fox planned so seriously was that all this was worth enough to make them moved and they were willing to accept it. Compared with 20th Century Fox's plan, the most important thing is that the parties can maintain a normal mind.

For example, Leonardo and Charlize did not mention the audition of "Romeo and Juliet" with Hugo at all. Although this was an audition that was implicitly relied on Hugo's relationship, no matter what, the result was determined by their strength. He also received auditions for works such as "Yihai Xiongfeng", "Seattle Night", and "Schindler's List" through his relationship with Hugo.

Even a relationship worth a thousand gold is just a stepping stone, and the original intention is the foundation.
