Hugo and Steven Spielberg had only a few words, and Steven showed a regretful expression, "It seems that you are really too popular tonight." Hugo was full of question marks, then turned his head to look over according to Steven's gaze, and saw Kevin Pence, Shirley Lansing and James Cameron coming together.

Hugo turned his head helplessly and looked at Steven, "How do you know they are coming for me? Can't they come to say hello to you?" Steven took a sip of champagne without comment, as if this was the answer to Hugo. Hugo could only pull the corners of his mouth, "Are you sure you didn't come here to greet them specifically?"

Facing Hugo's "accusation", Steven looked behind Hugo innocently, "Hey, guys, you interrupted my in-depth conversation with Hugo. If you don't have any important things, you can make an appointment for the time period after twenty minutes."

Shirley's cheerful voice came from behind Hugo, "If I remember correctly, this is Oscar Night, not DreamWorks' office." Shirley walked over, gave Steven a voucher, and then smiled and stretched out her right hand to Hugo, "Hey, stranger, we finally meet."

"Hope is a good start." Hugo also held Shirley's right hand and gave a veneer with a smile.

As Paramount's CEO, Shirley just took office in 1994. The first important decision she made after taking office was to make the decision to cooperate with "Mission Impossible", and then agreed to Rick's request and cooperated with Rick to complete a series of cooperative transactions, including Hugo's performance in "Seven Deadly Sins" for a super high salary of 10 million US dollars. Although Hugo has not worked with Paramount so far, due to Shirley, Paramount has always been very friendly to the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

"Congratulations, it belongs to you tonight." Kevin then grabbed Hugo's right hand and expressed his congratulations with a smile.

James also smiled politely to congratulate Hugo, "Excellent work." However, compared to Kevin and Shirley's enthusiasm, James obviously had the upper hand. It's not that this is wrong, but that there is a gap.

Hugo naturally wouldn't mind either. He expressed his gratitude according to social etiquette. His attitude did not change anything particularly. Steven's voice interrupted their politeness. "Now it seems that there is no place here anymore. I think I need a cup of Long Island iced tea to enlighten me." Steven's teasing made everyone laugh, and then he gave Hugo a meaningful sight and turned around and left.

Hugo knew that Steven was hinting: the three people in front of him would definitely not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble.

Even Steven gave up his position consciously. At this time, the guests of the entire Sunset Tower Hotel were consciously not coming up to disturb Hugo. Paramount, top leader 20th Century Fox and top director, this lineup was enough to keep a distance and watch the change. This also gave Hugo a rare breathing space.

"Are there any special arrangements to celebrate tonight?" Kevin said casually, "I just received a call from Allen, who arranged a party on his own private yacht. Are you going to attend?"

Compared to Shirley and James, Kevin and Hugo are also old acquaintances, so they spoke much more relaxed, and the smile on Hugo's face was relatively relaxed. "Allen's phone call was really a surprise. His confidentiality work was very good, and I didn't hear any news."

Allen Strello just called and asked to arrange a private party. All the members of the crew invited were "Independence Day" and most of the friends of Hugo to celebrate Hugo's victory tonight. Kevin, as the leader behind Independence Day, naturally received the invitation.

"After all, none of us is sure whether the final result is worth celebrating, isn't it?" Kevin's teasing made several people smile.

"It seems that there is no place for us in this private party, which is a pity." Shirley took the conversation calmly, still with a decent smile on her face. "However, I think that if you leave Oscar Night early, more people will be disappointed."

"Mel Gibson wouldn't want to hear this." Hugo pointed his chin slightly at Shirley, and even James couldn't help laughing.

"I guess everyone is curious now, what is the next work of the new Oscar winner, right?" Shirley said this sentence at Kevin.

Hugo didn't interrupt and answered. Kevin looked at Hugo with a bright smile, "'Independence Day', I think everyone knows the answer." Kevin had an unflattering smug smile on his face, and Shirley's expression of annoyance and envy made the atmosphere fully liven up.

"Kevin, you know I don't want to hear such an answer." Shirley said with regret, and her eyes naturally fell on Hugo. "The filming was just over before 'Independence Day', right? What about the next plan? I planned to take a break for a while or get busy with the band's work first? Not long ago, I chatted with a few friends at dinner. It seems that Glory has not heard the news until his death. If this new tour starts, please be sure to inform me in advance. I hope I can get the tickets in time."

I have to say that Shirley's speaking art is very clever. In fact, Hugo already knows that Shirley, Kevin and James join hands to qualify, obviously for the "Titanic", but Shirley did not mention it directly, but cleverly moved to the topic of the band, which easily brought her and Hugo away.

The smile on Hugo's face gently outlined, "I hope that I hope that glory can return to the stage quickly until death, but I guess it will take some time. The band does not want to break the law of 'third is charming'." No matter what, the United States is also obsessed with this principle, and often thinks that the third time is the luckiest and most wonderful, which is the most important watershed for rock bands.

"Oh, I guess many young volcanoes are going to be disappointed." The regret in Shirley's eyes looked very sincere. Putting aside her identity as CEO of Paramount, she could almost be said to be a perfect music lover.

"But it should be good news for you." Kevin said a straightforward sentence, "To be precise, it is good news for all film companies." Kevin's playful complaints made people laugh.

Shirley pursed her lips and pointed her chin, pondering for a while, "I can't deny it." This made Kevin and Hugo chuckled. Shirley looked at Hugo again and said casually, "So what do you think Hugo? Are you interested in re-investing a brand new work? Not long ago, James gave you a script, what do you think?"

The whole topic naturally changed to the "Titanic", which did not make Hugo feel uncomfortable at all. From this point of view, Shirley and Kevin were much smarter than Mark Canton. No wonder Shirley led Paramount to create the glory of the next ten years. Paramount and Twentieth Century Fox teamed up to create the "Titanic", which was Paramount's wisest choice, but originally had the absolute initiative, the 20th Century Fox divided the cake by himself. It has to be said that Kevin's courage was still inferior to that of the strong woman Shirley.

Hugo was not surprised at all, and shrugged, "Sorry, I've been very busy for the past few days and I haven't gotten the chance to read the script."

"I remember you have been emphasizing that the script is the most important, so why don't you read it immediately after you get it?" James, who had always remained silent and almost became an invisible person, suddenly came up with a sentence. The tone of this sentence was very relaxed and soft, but no matter how you listened, he felt that the words were thorny and made people feel uncomfortable.

Shirley and Kevin exchanged a glance, and there was still some helplessness in their eyes. Hugo did not notice them, but looked at James and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I don't have time, maybe it's because I don't have interest, maybe it's because I've read it, but I haven't finished reading it yet, so I don't want to draw conclusions too early. What do you think? Mr. Cameron."

Although James' strong aura and Hugo admires this giant who has repeatedly created box office miracles, now standing in front of James, Hugo is not timid or short of breath at all. His calm words have changed James's face and he is almost out of control and he loses his temper.

James had a bad temper, and after he became famous, he was even more unwilling to suppress his temper. His bad temper established many enemies for him in the academy. When the "Titanic" won the Oscar for Best Picture, James stood on the stage and said arrogantly and arrogantly, "I am the king of the world." He did not like the academy until ten years later. Later, "Avatar" lost to the "Bomb Disposal Force (the.hurt.locker)" for many reasons, but it is undeniable that James' own personality made enemies everywhere, which is also one of the reasons.

"If you are not interested, then this is a good thing." James said his thoughts directly. Perhaps deep down, he always refused to accept a super big name like Hugo joining his crew, because it is a powerful challenge to his authority. Especially today, Shirley and Kevin have always maintained modesty and politeness to Hugo, which made James realize that Hugo is the one who really has the right to challenge his control over the crew.

James' unstoppable words made Kevin's face look a little ugly, but Shirley still responded in time and said with a smile, "Wow, it seems that this chemical reaction has begun. The speed of this brainstorming has already made Kevin and I unable to keep up. If this spark is projected on the script and on the movie, it is really unimaginable. I have begun to look forward to your cooperation."
