Chapter 1505 1505 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

The lively Rodeo Avenue is a rare wonder even in Hollywood, where countless myths were born. With the subsequent fermentation of strong influence, people even called it the "Bobberley Miracle". As Burberry gradually became the world's top fashion brand again, the "Bobberley Miracle" became a highlight moment that has been recorded in history, and also an important turning point in the fashion circle's starization.

However, for Hollywood, the "Bobberley Miracle" has a deeper meaning. They felt Hugo's powerful superstar aura from another side, which also made the competition among various film projects more intense. Although it has not been two weeks since the completion of "Independence Day", the hope of becoming the script of Hugo's next project is enough to flood Rick's office.

"Hugo's first work after winning the Oscar winner for the first time." This gimmick alone is enough to attract most projects. Even Twentieth Century Fox has changed the concept of "Oscar-level visual effects, Oscar-level performance shocking" during the promotion of "Independence Day".

Just like Barry Meyer's considerations, other major companies are actually fighting in secret, and they are fighting for each other.

But there is one thing that is not surprising that has attracted the attention of a few people, that is, after the Oscar, Hugo is very low-key, as if he was the one who failed the award ceremony. Even if it was the "Bobberley Miracle", Hugo actually stayed on the scene for less than thirty minutes, and then Hugo left through the back door.

Moreover, in recent times, when major film companies tried to contact Hugo, they could only contact Rick and Joseph, and almost no one had a direct conversation with Hugo. Of course, strictly speaking, this is normal, because this is the job responsibilities of the agent and the manager. It is impossible for Hugo to read all the scripts in person.

So, this small detail was only noticed by a few people, but they didn't care.

The chaos of Oscar's glory to death that night was strictly blocked by Henry, including Pedro and Alfonso's follow-up news. No one noticed that the band of glory to death had almost no activity in the past year, and even paparazzi could find clues.

This is a good thing for glory to death. What they need the least now is the media joining in the fun.

However, this is not a problem for film companies. They are more willing to deal with Rick than Hugo. Hugo's pickiness and strictness are really too difficult to deal with. Although Rick is cunning and profound, he is an agent after all, and a businessman after all, which means that he can negotiate, trade, and negotiate. That's true for Mark Canton.

Mark has been in a good mood recently, and it can even be said to be the happiest period in the past month, as he and Rick have reached several deals.

Hugo rejected "Air Force One". Although this result disappointed Mark, he had long expected such a result. It was no surprise to choose Harrison Ford. However, Mark immediately submitted the "Man in Black" plan to Rick for the third time. Not only did he and Rick have had two meals, but Steven also called Hugo specifically, but in the end Hugo still refused "Man in Black", without even saying a reason, just thinking it was "not suitable", which made Mark completely amused and cry.

If this is the result, then Columbia Pictures is returning empty-handed, which is naturally bad news for Mark.

But interestingly, two days after Hugo rejected Steven, Mark heard that Steven went to Malibu to visit Hugo in person. After returning, he told Mark that the protagonist of "Man in Black" locked in Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. When he was puzzled, Mark asked Steven about the inside story. Steven did not say much, but said that this was Hugo's opinion.

At first, Mark thought Hugo was just seeking benefits for the elite agency, but later Mark held a meeting with the company to discuss it, and at the same time inquired about some information, he found that Hugo was not aimless at all. He refused the "Man in Black" project not because he didn't like it, but because it was "not suitable". Hugo believed that Will and Tommy Li, the two old and young, one black and one white, one monk and one harmonious partner would add a lot of color to the movie and create conditions for the success of the movie.

What does this mean? It means that the "Man in Black" has been recognized by Hugo's Golden God Hand and is likely to achieve great success? Maybe that's the case, but it's not the point. This means that Columbia Pictures has obtained the opportunity to further cooperate with Hugo and Hugo. Hugo will give a helping hand this time, of course, not for the sake of Mark or Columbia Pictures, but because Steven is the producer of "Man in Black". Then, if you seize this opportunity, the once-disappeared connection between Hugo and Columbia Pictures will be connected again.

Although Mark lacks the overall view, the success story of 20th Century Fox is right in front of him, and he is absolutely impossible to ignore it. After careful consideration, Mark immediately agreed to Hugo's proposal, and the cast of "Man in Black" was determined.

However, Mark did not make a big fuss. He just made a fortune in silence like the previous 20th Century Fox. The news that the "Man in Black" crew was confirmed to be formed did not even cause much noise.

Mark made a special call to Rick and confirmed this collaboration. Unexpectedly, Rick took the initiative to mention a script "My Best Friend's Wedding". In fact, the script was handed to Sandra Bullock by Columbia Pictures, and he also considered Charlize Theron. Of course, it was not only the Endeavour Elite Broker, but other brokerage companies were also negotiating.

Mark was very surprised that Rick would be interested in this script because "My Best Friend's Wedding" is a romantic comedy. After the script was released, the heroine was quickly confirmed. Julia Roberts, who made a high-profile comeback, became the heroine. Moreover, Julia relied on her strong connections and position in the circle, which was equivalent to half a producer, and gave a lot of opinions on the movie. It can be said that this work revolves around Julia, and even the male protagonist Dermot Moroni (Dermot.mulroney) was chosen by Julia.

However, this work is quite special. The story revolves around two women. In addition to the core of Julia's role, another woman can also be regarded as the heroine, and the importance is definitely not inferior to Julia. Once the casting error occurs, the entire work will not achieve the expected effect and may be smashed.

Due to Julia's franchise and the work itself has attracted much attention, Ronald Bass, who once wrote the script "Rain Man", wrote the script himself and served as the producer. This has brought the budget of "My Best Friend's Wedding" to 46 million. Not to mention a comedy movie, it can already shoot an action movie with good results. For example, the budget for "Life and Death Hour" is only 25 million US dollars.

Therefore, the crew still attaches great importance to another heroine. The script was handed to the Eternal Elite Agency, but they have never had hope. Because Charlize has been insisting on polishing his acting skills, and the strictness of choosing scripts is no less than Hugo. Although Sandra's temperament is more consistent, the first heroine has been set in this work, Julia Roberts, Sandra is three years older than Julia, so the setting seems to be too much deviation.

Mark does not think that Enjin Elite Brokerage will cooperate with them in this project, and more attention is to focus on other brokerage companies. But now...

Rick actually fought for this role for Cameron Diaz, which surprised Mark, because Cameron is now filming a work in Minnesota, which is why he did not include Cameron in the alternate range at the beginning. However, after the accident, Mark is now overwhelmed by ecstasy. In order to cooperate with Hugo, Twentieth Century Fox started with Hugo, and cooperated with Cameron to "Love is the only one". Now, before Mark can cast a net, the cooperation opportunity will be automatically delivered to his door. How could Mark be unhappy!

However, Mark was not eager for success, because he knew that Julia's voice in the crew of "My Best Friend's Wedding" cannot be ignored. This is the status of a top star. Maybe they will not interfere with the crew's operation, but they are capable of changing everything. Simply put, if Julia does not agree with Cameron's joining the crew, then this cooperation will be difficult to accomplish. Of course, even if Julia does not agree, Mark will do his best to convince Julia. The halo of these superstars represented by Julia is a double-edged sword, which is also an important reason why Joe Schumacher and James Cameron are very taboo to Hugo.

Mark calmed down Rick first, and then asked Julia about her opinion. After watching "The Disguised Strange Guy", Julia nodded and agreed to Cameron's joining.

So, in just a few days, although Hugo rejected "Air Force One" and "Man in Black", Mark actually knew it deeply. At present, "Titanic" is the closest work to Hugo. Whether it is the name of director James or the investment of 200 million US dollars, it is enough to make this work another giant after "Future Water World". The ambiguity between Hugo and "Titanic" is something that most other works cannot surpass. Relatively speaking, after missing the direct cooperation with Hugo, Columbia Pictures launched close cooperation with the Engaging Elite Brokerage Company, which was enough to make Mark smile.

Of course, Mark knew that his every move was closely followed by competitors, but he also knew the truth that the truth was unpredictable, so he simply did not hide it, but instead forced his competitors to think more.

From Barry to Mark, from Warner Bros. to Columbia Pictures, Hollywood can definitely be said to have shown its magical powers recently. Everyone's eyes are locked in Hugo, looking forward to who his next work will fall, but it seems that there is still no clear context at the moment.
