The preliminary work of "perfect and perfection" was carried out much smoother than expected, which made Hugo truly feel the so-called "Hollywood power" for the first time.

Under Allen's promotion, the signing of "Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full-Full

Because of the bottom line of box office dividends, Rick and Mark directly quarreled twice. As a literary comedy movie, the box office motivation is completely unpredictable. Moreover, there is no need for Hugo to take charge. Although Jack Nicholson has signed the male lead early, the box office appeal is still worrying. Rick insists that the bottom line of box office dividends should be the 50 million cost line, but Mark does not allow it.

Under such circumstances, Allen also showed his businessman nature and personally negotiated with Hugo, which made Hugo compromise. On the one hand, it was determined to be "perfect" and even if it was not taken, Hugo hoped that this work could be completed with quality and quantity; on the other hand, it was because the investment of 50 million US dollars was indeed incredible for "perfect" and Hugo would inevitably need to make concessions. Of course, the most important thing is that Hugo had enough confidence in the box office.

Immediately afterwards, James L Brooks signed to become the director of the film. At the beginning of this year, Cooper Gooding, who relied on "Mr. Sweetheart" to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Little Golden Man, played the role of Simon's agent Frank. Kevin Bacon then recommended Greg Kinnear to audition, and received unanimous recognition from Hugo and James, winning the role of neighbor Simon.

Although Hugo will not play "Full Perfect", and his identity as a producer does not intend to interfere with the director's filming work. He originally thought that Hugo would be relaxed after the crew was confirmed; but in fact, Hugo has been busy recently, almost so busy that he is not touching the ground. Not only is he an audition actor, but Hugo also held many meetings with James to discuss the script. After that, Hugo revised the script twice, and the details were modified more during the period.

There was no such a clear feeling when "Los Angeles City Secret". This time, "perfection" was very obvious. The huge connections and the power of friendship made Hugo's work go smoothly, and it could almost be said to be unstoppable. This also made the entire crew full of energy and quickly formed.

During this period, the military training camp for "Save the Soldier Ryan" was officially opened. Hugo also went to support Steven as a guest and experienced the life of a soldier with Tom Hanks.

But Hugo still couldn't stop because the heroine "perfect" was still not finalized.

Originally, James belonged to Holly Hunter, an actress who won the Oscar for "Don't Love with Piano". She has worked with James for a long time on the movie "Radio News" and has also worked with the Coen brothers for several works. It can be said that she has a very good reputation in the independent film industry.

Hugo met Hawley twice. The first time was to talk about the script. Hawley liked the script very much, and when he thought of working with Jack, Hawley seemed very active. The second time was bad news, because Hawley had signed a contract with the crew of "living.out.loud". Now the crew has heard that it is September to start filming, while the crew of "Fine and Perfect" hopes to start filming in mid-August. The schedule coincides, which immediately makes Hawley feel embarrassed.

In order to cooperate with Hawley, Hugo met with the producers who "Bravely Say Love" twice, but this is an independent production company. Even if they want to give Hugo face, the space they can move is very limited because they have almost no way to go ahead or back down. Once the schedule is rescheduled, the crew will suffer heavy losses.

In fact, Hugo wanted to enable Helen Hunter. Helen is a very special actor in Hollywood. She started to appear on TV at the age of nine, but Hollywood producers never looked up to her prospects, believing that "you are not beautiful enough to play the heroine." The stubbornness of rejecting unspoken rules has caused her to lose countless opportunities to go to the big screen, which has always been defined as a stage play and TV series actor.

In fact, Helen is very outstanding. Not only is she a child star, she has rich acting experience, but she has been polished in stage plays for many years. Since the TV series "I am a man of the utmost tuition" has been nominated for her for the Emmy Award every year since it was launched. Even though she starred in the "Tornado" with a huge box office success last year, she still did not knock on the door of the movie for her. It can be said that she is one of the most ignored actresses in Hollywood.

Hugo would think of Helen because of Tim Robbins' recommendation. Tim once collaborated with Helen when directing "Born Winner". After reading the "Fine" script, he recommended this strange and familiar name to Hugo.

However, James was a little disgusted with Hugo's proposal. He believed that Carol in "Excellent" should be a charming woman. Even if she was sloppy, even if she had to take care of her children, even if she lived a difficult life, the style of every move made it difficult for her to look away. James did not think Helen could meet the requirements.

In the face of a dispute, he could only make preparations. On the one hand, James tried his best to convince Hawley, and on the other hand, Hugo met and talked with Nicole Kidman.

Entering Tom Cruise's mansion in Beverly Hills, Nicole had already met the gate and gave Hugo a big hug when he came up. Hugo looked back at the crazy paparazzi at the door with lingering fear, "God, you are like this every day when you come in and out. Isn't it painful?" Hugo drove over just now, and only stayed at the gate for a minute, letting the guards open the door. The paparazzi were almost blocking him so hard that they could not move.

Nicole laughed, "It's good to get used to it." Then she blinked at Hugo, "It's much better to walk through the side door when you leave." This made Hugo stunned: Then why did he come in through the main door just now? Nicole smiled sly, "So, are you here to find me today? Tom didn't say it clearly last night. Is it the project you mentioned to me last time?"

Under Nicole's leadership, Hugo walked through the open hall and walked towards the small garden balcony behind, "Where is Tom? Is he not at home today?" After looking around, this was the real mansion. Its area was probably larger than Hugo's Malibu villa, which was comparable to that of Long Beach, but the problem was that one was in Long Beach and the other was in Beverly Hills, and the price was very different.

"Tom recently met a director and they were sharing a new idea. You know this director, Paul Thomas Anderson." Nicole signaled Hugo to sit down, and the tea table was neatly arranged. "Black tea?" Hugo nodded, and then Nicole began to make tea with her own hands. "I heard you almost appeared in his work before. Tom also said that if you can work with you this time, that would be a good idea."

"pta, yes, I know this director is very talented. I still feel regretful until the last time I didn't work together." Hugo smiled and nodded, taking the black tea handed over by Nicole, "Thank you," and then he gently placed it on the coffee table. "But, I remember that you and Tom were filming a Kubrick work? Why do you both seem to be very leisurely?"

When Hugo contacted Nicole, she asked her if the schedule was appropriate, and she actually received a positive answer. This was really surprising. This was also the reason why Hugo included Nicole in the "Fine and Perfect" cast, but the specific details have not been asked yet.

"After halfway through the shooting, Stanley was in poor health, and he felt his thoughts were a little confused and needed to be reorganized, so he took a break for the time being. It is estimated that the shooting will not start again in the past three months." Nicole's words made Hugo feel very magical.

Because Hugo had never experienced such a situation, it was hard for him to imagine that he would suddenly stop shooting halfway through the shooting and then re-enter the shooting a few months later. This was even more unimaginable for the actors. However, it was not surprising that Stanley Kubrick took three years to shoot the Shining.

"Wow, I really can't imagine what kind of state it is." Hugo racked his brains and couldn't describe it. "No wonder everyone says that the opportunity to work with the master is so rare."

Nicole was also amused by Hugo's vivid expression, "If you are curious, you can try it yourself. Believe me, it is a torment for the actors."

Hugo spread his hands and said, "I don't think I have such a directorial talent, and I don't think Kubrick would want to work with me, so... I'll just think about it." This made Nicole laugh again, "So, does this mean you have time to do this recent period? Are you willing to shoot another work?"

"You mean the script you wrote?" Nicole naturally knew about it, "But why haven't you given me the script?"

"Because I don't want to be ugly in front of Stanley Kubrick?" Hugo said with a frown. In fact, it was mainly because he didn't understand the situation before, so Hugo never handed the script to Nicole's agents Nicole and Tom are both actors under the Innovative Artist Agency.

"However, my agent gave me another script these two days, saying that you are likely to become the male lead, and asked me if I would take a month to play the female lead." Nicole's words completely confused Hugo, "What work?" Nicole said with a smile, "'Trumen's World'."
