The concerns of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association are definitely not overwhelming—00—00—Many people may say that the 54th Golden Globes are still very lively in the absence of Hugo. The attendance of top artists such as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, Madonna, Barbara Streisand made the night look starry.

"No one in Hollywood is indispensable, never." This sentence applies before, now, and still applies in the future.

But this view is not very applicable in the current situation. Whether it is Hugo, who contributed three top performances throughout the year in 1995, missed the Golden Globe Awards, or Hugo, who swept the world with a work and changed history, missed the Golden Globe Awards, this is a fatal blow to any award ceremony, let alone the Golden Globe Awards that are determined to promote the commercialization process.

In fact, Michael's concerns are well-founded. Kevin Pence, who was sitting in the office, was also discussing the same person.

"Kevin, we have no working capital now. James' vampire has submitted a cost application again. This is the first time! Paramount signed a check this time, so what about the next time? Now all the funds on the books have been allocated, and all projects have been prepared. We don't have more energy to chase Hugo."

Sitting directly in front of the desk was Thomas Rothman, general manager of the 20th Century Fox film department. The good-looking man had a round cheek and the most ordinary pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was slightly fat, and he looked like the most typical Uncle Sam. At this time, even though Thomas was discussing a serious topic, his potato-like face still did not have much majesty, making the atmosphere relatively relaxed.

"Are these the projects we are planning to invest in this year?" Kevin picked up the list in his hand and flipped it. Thomas gave a positive answer and explained it additionally, "The first page is this year, and the second page is a few plans for next year-00-00-"

Kevin shook his head and breathed a long sigh, "Thomas, among these projects, do you think there is one of these projects that you can definitely get the box office?" Twentieth Century Fox was almost completely trapped because of the "Titanic". When Kevin made a quick decision to choose Paramount as a partner, it seems to be the wisest choice now. Because this project has now made the 20th Century Fox's plan in 1997 completely stretched. Looking at the project list, there was no one that was eye-catching, which made Kevin feel a headache.

If the Titanic succeeds, then everything is easy to say; but if it fails... the breathing space obtained by the Twentieth Century Fox will soon be dehydrated again.

Faced with Kevin's words, Thomas could only shake his head in a depressed manner without refuting. Kevin chuckled, "But as long as Hugo participates, it is certain." This is Hollywood's current confidence in Hugo. Any work, as long as Hugo can join, even waste will become a treasure. Not only Kevin, but the entire Hollywood is so personally experiencing it. Now Hugo's influence on Hollywood has even surpassed agents, directors and producers, and has the ability to influence the direction of every link.

Thomas had no way to refute, his shoulders drooped, "But, we really don't have the ability to bear the 20 million yuan pay for Hugo. Even the 15 million yuan pay we must be very cautious now, otherwise once the box office of the 'Titanic' does not meet expectations..."

Thomas didn't say the following words, but everyone knew it. On the surface, the 20th Century Fox is now in full swing, but in fact they are full of crises. If a slight mishandling is done, they may be doomed. The success of "**day" just won them a breathing gap.

"So I decided to have a good relationship with Hugo." Strictly speaking, Kevin is ahead of major Hollywood companies. His cooperation with Hugo is not only limited to "**day", but is more about bringing closer together in all aspects. Now, at the critical moment of 20th Century Fox, Kevin needs this connection to play a role.

"But Hugo refused "speed of life and death 2 (speed.2:c milk i color.trol)" without hesitation." Thomas also knew what Kevin meant, but his concerns could not be easily dissipated. "And I also got the news that Hugo even advised Sandra not to take on this project."

Kevin didn't know the news later, because Sandra Brock finally took over the script of "Life and Death Speed ​​2". He had already invested in filming more than a month ago, and now there is not much time left to finish the filming. This made Kevin frown, "Does Hugo tell me the reason?"

"Script." Thomas said the answer directly, "Hugo initially refused because of the glory to death global tour, but later I communicated with Rick's assistant Jim. Jim said that Hugo thought the script was too ridiculous. Not only was there a problem with the setting, but the structure and proportion of the most important script were not satisfactory." After that, Thomas secretly looked at Kevin's face and muttered and complained, "But all these ideas and ideas are De Bonter."

After Jane De Bonter achieved great success by relying on the speed of life and death, he then directed the work "Tornado" which ranked second in the year-end box office rankings in 1996. Unfortunately, "** Day" performed too well, and this work was stolen a lot of style. "Life and Death Speed ​​2" once again invited Jane to take action, hoping to replicate the box office miracle of that year.

Kevin looked at Thomas in front of him, and he knew that Thomas was not deliberately concealing this matter. Thomas just didn't believe in Hugo's judgment. In fact, Thomas's point of view is the mainstream point of view in Hollywood. They recognize Hugo's strong appeal, but they think that Hugo is an actor with excellent acting skills and a charming actor, but they don't think that Hugo can point fingers to the work of the screenwriter or the work of the director.

For example, when the script of "** Day" was revised, there were many conflicts, because Hugo's screenwriter's perspective could not "convinced the public". In everyone's opinion, the screenwriter column "Shawshank's Redemption" added Hugo's name, which is purely polite; "Before Sunrise" cannot reflect Hugo's skill framework, rhythm, clues, etc. as a screenwriter who tells the story, which is not reflected in this script.

What's more, Hugo refused the script of "Life and Death 2" for the "Storm" world tour, which was expected. However, Hugo actually persuaded Sandra not to take over the script. Although this did not anger Thomas, this good-looking man could not help but think that Hugo was meddling in other people's business. Fortunately, Sandra finally chose to star in the role.

However, Kevin clearly knew that only those who had actually come into contact with Hugo and even discussed the script knew that Hugo's wisdom was definitely not that simple. However, it is obviously not realistic to modify the script of "Life and Death 2" now, so Kevin thought about it and finally gave up.

"Anyway, we should at least try it, even if it is not this year, but next year. I think you know more clearly than me, how much profit the work of '**day' has brought to the company." Kevin said, and Thomas did not say anything more, but fell silent and thought, "What do you think we should do? Hugo is on the tour now, and even the Golden Globes are absent. How can we find him?"

Kevin chuckled and shook his head, "You don't know Hugo, I'm sure he will definitely show up in Berlin."

"Why?" Thomas blurted out subconsciously.

"Because he is a person who regards friendship as more important than any relationship." Kevin said in a circle, then looked down at the project list in his hand. "We will find two roles that are suitable here. Then we will take the proposal to find Hugo. Whether the project can be discussed or not, we cannot miss it. This year, it is too dangerous for us to pin all our hopes on the Titanic."

Thomas looked at Kevin and thought about it carefully, but still couldn't find the connection. He still didn't know enough about Hugo, so he could only leave Kevin's office with a question mark.

Kevin knew clearly that Hugo would definitely appear at the Berlin Film Festival, because this year "Romeo and Juliet" was shortlisted for the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. This work was produced by Twentieth Century Fox. Even if it was just to support Leonardo and Charlize, Hugo would definitely arrive in Berlin. What's more, during the Berlin Film Festival, Hugo was in Europe, with no obstacles in distance.

This is the subsequent effect of Kevin's previous plan. The cooperation between 20th Century Fox and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company is being carried out in all aspects.

However, Kevin speculated that Warner Bros. and New Line Films would probably send relevant personnel to Berlin, because if he remembers correctly, "Love and War" starring Sandra was shortlisted for this year's Berlin Film Festival, which is one of the reasons why Hugo went to Berlin.

And... Mark Canton! Recently, the head of Columbia Pictures has been very informed. The "Man in Black" who cooperated with Steven Spielberg has invested in the early publicity. Steven is also behind "Air Force One". It is said that Harrison Ford is considering changing the agency contract to the Eternal Elite Brokerage Company. On the other hand, "My Best Friend's Wedding" actually invited Cameron Diaz to play again...

You can see his own shadow before and after this. The method Mark is now implementing is Kevin's plan two years ago, and finally let Hugo join "** Day". Therefore, Mark will definitely appear in Berlin, and Kevin does not question this at all.

Thinking of the Golden Globes that just ended, although it was not as popular as no one was concerned, the momentum was indeed average. Thinking about Berlin next, you can already predict the noise and busyness there at this time. The Hollywood trend this year may start from Berlin.

For the second consecutive year, Berlin snatched the style of the Golden Globes. Is this... really good?
