Kevin and Shirley, including Michael just now, were all here, and were unwilling to tell the truth. Now Mark suddenly made the topic clear, but instead had unexpected results, making the whole thing clear.

Kevin is the person who is most familiar with Rick here. He was just stunned for a moment. He looked at Mark meaningfully, compared to a few years ago. The highly praised "Sex Book Tycoon" after the release of the Berlin Film Festival this year is produced by Sony Columbia Pictures, so it should not be underestimated. Then Kevin continued to ask, "Why didn't I see him today when it comes to Hugo? As far as I know, he is not someone who likes to appear at the last moment of the red carpet."

Rick laughed and shook his head, "Today Hugo needs to rehearse for the weekend performance, he did not come to Berlin." A simple sentence confirmed everyone's guess, "He called Sandra to apologize. I think Sandra should teach him a good lesson after he goes back."

In fact, before tonight, everyone received the news: Hugo did not arrive in Berlin. But now he has received Rick's exact affirmative answer.

"Then Hugo wouldn't appear when 'Romeo and Juliet' was released?" Seeing that everyone had already opened up the topic, Shirley simply asked the topic directly without any sensitivity.

Rick opened his mouth slightly in surprise, then looked helpless, "I don't know, Hugo has not given me any news for the time being. Recently, Hugo is busy with the tour, so I can only contact his manager. Most of the time, the assistant is replying to me."

It seemed like he was complaining that he was ignored, which made everyone laugh. But in fact, Rick invisibly placed Hugo in a "busy" position. No matter what happens next, Rick can use this as an excuse to buffer it for a little bit, and then discuss it.

"This tour is indeed unparalleled. I read the news yesterday and said that the band created a new history of audiences in Africa. Three cities called for a total of 210,000 viewers, breaking the historical record set by Michael Jackson in Africa not long ago." Mark used just one sentence to bring everyone's attention back to him. This wisdom made both Shirley and Kevin look at each other.

Rick's face was filled with a bright smile and said modestly, "I don't know much about the music part. I also learned this from the newspaper." In fact, thanks to Glory to Death and Michael Jackson's powerful influence, Enjin Elite Agency has set up a music department and is growing rapidly.

"It seems that Hugo will continue to focus on the tour in a short period of time." This is the real core of Mark's words just now, and he immediately brought the topic back. "I was looking forward to the project in my hand that will impress Hugo, haha."

Although Mark chuckled twice in the end to resolve the atmosphere, he was still a little anxious. He was likely to backfire after mentioning this topic twice in such a short time. Kevin and Shirley remained silent and thoughts flashed through his mind.

Sure enough, Rick curled his smile, looked at Mark solemnly, and asked seriously, "Don't Mr. Canton think it's too early to talk about these things now?" Rick used a title of honor and was more polite, but he pulled the distance apart.

Surprisingly, Mark did not panic, but smiled, shook his head, and replied in an extremely serious tone, "Of course I know that the 'Storm' world tour will last until the end of April. There is still a long, long time before the tour ends, but I don't think it's too early to talk about this now."

This is everyone's idea. At this time, in December last year, people were talking about Rick's tone one after another. Now it's February in a blink of an eye, so naturally no one will think it's too early.

"Haha, after the tour is over, Hugo needs to rest and adjust for a while. It will be too late to talk later." Although Rick spoke politely, he left no room for maneuver, and the topic came to an abrupt end here.

Mark is indeed too impatient.

However, compared to Mark's rash move, Kevin was more curious about what the project was in Mark's hands? Why did Mark so confident that Hugo would be interested in the project in his hands? Where is Mark's source of confidence? This is really an intriguing part.

"Sorry, I saw an acquaintance and had to go over and say hello. We will chat slowly when the movie is over." Rick stopped for a while, apologized politely, and then turned and left. The three big guys Kevin, Shirley and Mark who were left, each had their own thoughts and did not stay for too long.

Of course, Rick knew what their real goals were, and he knew very well. Even if major film companies didn't say that, he kept paying attention to the script, because Rick knew that many times the appearance of excellent scripts was irregular, and it was often too late to pay attention to them when Hugo was about to choose a new work. Therefore, during the Hugo tour, Rick always paid attention to the script, not only the scripts of major film companies, but also the works of many newcomers and unknown people in the screenwriter union, hoping to wash away the sand and select an excellent script for Hugo.

From the wonderful interpretation of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Prison Walk" to the vigorous outbreak of "Independence Day", Hugo's film career has reached an unprecedented height. But this is precisely a double-edged sword. On the good side, no matter what theme Hugo chooses, what investment scale, or type of the next work, it will not cause any controversy. He has absolute freedom of choice. Whether it is a commercial blockbuster or an independent workshop, it will not have any impact on Hugo's career.

But on the bad side, the reason why people are so "tolerant" to Hugo is because they believe that no matter what kind of work it is, as long as Hugo is starring, it will definitely be worth looking forward to. "Hugo's production must be a masterpiece", this is a praise, but also a shackle.

Rick knows that it is almost impossible to surpass the "Seven Deadly Sins", "Death Prison Walk", or the box office that exceeds the "Independence Day", but at least it should not be a bad work. Rick hopes to control the first level for Hugo in the script and maintain high quality.

Hugo's tour will end at the end of April. Rick hopes that after that, he can give Hugo a period of time to slowly adjust his state, and wait until Hugo is sure to prepare before taking on a brand new script. Rick has never been a quick-witted agent, because he clearly knows that long-term fish is the wisest choice at this time.

So, Rick knows what Kevin, Shirley, Mark and others are pursuing, but he will never let it go. If according to normal planning, Hugo chooses a work that will start filming in May and conducts preliminary preparations now, which is very appropriate. This is also an important reason why Hollywood has started to get windy again recently.

Almost everyone is curious about Hugo's next choice. This time, what people are curious about is not "success or failure of the new work", but "what surprise can the new work bring". As Hugo crowns the superstar throne, people's requirements will become higher and higher, and they will become more and more picky.

Originally, Rick, Kevin, Shirley and others were fighting. This was part of the social occasion, and everything was fine, but Mark was anxious and immediately approached the whole topic, so Rick became serious in an instant and gave Mark a soft nail.

In fact, it is not just Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount and Sony Columbia, but also Warner Bros., New Line Pictures, and Universal Pictures are present today. Today, the eight major Hollywood film companies, in addition to Disney and MGM, their top leaders have all come to the Berlin Film Festival, which is very abnormal.

Generally speaking, talking about film projects with actors can make the general manager of the film department work at a high standard, which is mainly because Hollywood movies are based on "projects". Most of the time, producers take the lead, and then the producers talk about costs and investments with the film company; or they implement bundled sales like innovative artist brokers, so more often the agency finds scripts, directors, producers, etc., and after packing the project, they find the film company to discuss investments.

The situation like Mark Canton is just a few special situations, because as CEOs, their main task is not to discuss the project, but to grasp the general direction for the company. Of course, this also includes the investment details of the project. One of the main reasons why Kevin Pence kept running last year was that Hugo could not exclude the sophisticated elite brokerage and DreamWorks behind Hugo. Another major reason was that Twentieth Century Fox was striving for Allen Strello's investment.

This time it was obviously a bit special, because after "Independence Day", the whole of Hollywood became turbulent, and everyone was feeling the stones across the river. As the actor with the strongest appeal in the United States, Hugo's every move was crucial. That's why these big guys came out in full swing.

In an instant, Berlin began to fill its gunpowder, and it became the global focus unprecedented in the cold February, even surpassing the Golden Globe Awards that had just ended not long ago, allowing Berlin, which was forgotten in the corner of the world, to stand under the spotlight in the center of the world overnight!

The premiere of "Love and War" is already noisy. This is still the case when Hugo did not appear; in the blink of an eye, "Romeo and Juliet" is about to land at the Berlin Film Festival tomorrow. The eve of the past, the whole city began to stir up. The hot movement made the biting cold winter heat up. The reason is very simple. Hugo, who is on the second phase of the "Storm and Rain" world tour in Europe, arrived in Berlin!
