Chapter 1991 1991 Game Art
The dinner finally came to an abrupt end in Catherine's words. Whether it was Hugo and Knight, or Catherine and Rick, they temporarily stopped further in-depth conversations, and the subsequent dinner slowly took place in the irrelevant daily conversation.
The two paparazzi who were waiting at the entrance of the restaurant were almost desperate. They only realized how much time it took to have a French cuisine. The two of them waited until eleven o'clock and were almost fainting. Just before the two of them were about to give up, they finally saw Hugo appear again.
At this time, Malibu was shrouded in a lazy hid blue sky, and all faces became a little blurred, but they still captured the figures of Hugo and Catherine Knight was automatically ignored by them. As we all know, Catherine Kennedy is now one of the top producers in Hollywood. Thanks to her cooperation with Steven Spielberg, Catherine has created countless glory in the past decade, including the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, the "Back to the Future" series, and the "Jurassic Park" series.
Now, the paparazzi have captured the encounter between Catherine and Hugo, what does that mean?
The answer is obvious. After finishing the filming of "Trumen's World", Hugo, who had been on the run for more than two months, started to get busy again. Could it be that Hugo and Catherine collaborated on an "Independence Day" again?
Both paparazzi began to become extremely excited, especially after "Titanic" had just created countless history. If Hugo starred in a commercial blockbuster again, it would definitely make the whole of Hollywood boil. Both of them took countless photos crazily, and the excitement on their faces was almost irrepressible.
Catherine's expression was a little dim and unclear. She was not surprised by the appearance of the paparazzi. She knew better than anyone else about Hugo's attention now; but she noticed a small detail. Rick and Hugo did not stop the paparazzi at the first time, and Rick even indulged the paparazzi a little. In fact, this was just a very subtle detail, which almost happened in a few milliseconds. It might be that Catherine herself was thinking about it, but she sensitively sensed something was wrong. What does this mean?
After seeing off Catherine and Knight, Hugo and Rick walked along the street on foot. Hugo waved toward Catherine's departure car, "Did you say she noticed our little moves? Will it be too hidden?"
Rick was confident, "Don't worry, even if she didn't notice it now, she would notice something was wrong after she went back." Never underestimate these top Hollywood producers. They can stand in this position for many years and stand firm, and their abilities are absolutely unquestionable. Catherine is the same.
If Catherine heard this conversation, she would be shocked. Hugo and Rick's "flaw" just now was deliberately sold to her. So what are the two of them calculating behind the scenes?
Rick then said, "Leave these things to me and Jeffrey, David and others, you don't have to worry about them." Things at the company level require too much effort, constantly calculating and planning, and these things don't need Hugo to worry about, "What do you think tonight? Are the list of actors you mentioned later serious?"
Hugo shrugged, "Why not?"
"Actually, Knight was a little too hasty today, which disrupted the rhythm of Kate and me." Rick commented, "Fortunately, you have already had some ideas and put the situation in control again. However, this is also a good thing. Now we need to disrupt Robert's chess game so that we will have more opportunities. We have discussed it, and have attracted six small distribution companies and two medium-sized ones. As long as we can acquire three of them, DreamWorks' distribution department can get on track. Both of them have a lot of cooperation with Disney, and we mainly look at Disney's peripheral distribution capabilities, so we need not only to deal with Eiger, but also to deal with Esner. This will be a tough battle."
This is a chess game. Robert Eiger and David Vogel are chess players, but in fact they are just trying to become chess players, and they are seeking the big cake of Disney; now, the thriving elite agency represented by Rick, the Dream Factory represented by Steven and David, and the Kennedy/Marshall Film Production Company represented by Catherine are all trying to become chess players and try to become chess players who can compete with big players like Disney.
Especially after the 70th Academy Awards announced the change of the entire film market, Hollywood still seems to have not changed much, but in fact, there are still many crises under the calm surface. Almost everyone is trying to seize the initiative, hoping to touch the future development context and become the leader in the blockbuster era.
Therefore, everyone is calculating each other in this game, everyone is an opponent, but everyone can also become an alliance. Hugo, who seems to be an outsider, seems to be an insignificant "Supernatural Sixth Sense", and seems to be a horror movie that has no connection with commercial blockbusters, but is quietly connecting interests.
Rick raised his head and looked at Hugo's distracted expression, and couldn't help but laugh. These conspiracies were too complicated. Hugo had never been interested in it. However, there was always gain. Hugo's talent was never here, so Rick was not surprised, "Will it be okay for you to go to your own meeting with Kevin the day after tomorrow?"
Here is Kevin Pence, the helm of Twentieth Century Fox.
Hugo was not distracted, but he really didn't have much interest. "No problem, I went to see him as the head of DreamWorks distribution department, right? I hope to lay the foundation for my connections." After receiving Rick's affirmative answer, Hugo curled his lips, "Don't worry, I can do such a thing."
Although Hugo was not interested, he played a crucial role in the entire chess game. In the next period of time, he needed to meet Kevin Pence, Shirley Lansing, Barry Mayer, Long Mayer, Mark Canton and others one after another, and to build the momentum as much as possible. It is best to get their help. Even if the cooperation cannot be completed, laying the foundation for the connection will be beneficial to the future. The most important thing is that Hugo needs to take advantage of the momentum so that the elite agency and DreamWorks can be used to develop their skills.
Rick and Hugo walked back to the villa all the way, and from a distance, you could see that the red charcoal fire on the lawn was no longer vigorous, but it was just a faint light in the night. After getting closer, you could see a large group of people sitting scattered around the grass with a beer bottle placed in the middle, which made Hugo laugh, "College Brotherhood Game?"
"Hey, see who is back!" Leonardo was the first to yell. Everyone turned around and saw Hugo and Rick, and everyone started to cheer. "Join us, join us!"
Hugo shook his head helplessly, "I'd better go and eat something first. The amount of French cuisine almost made me cry at the table." Hugo looked around and tried to find something to eat.
Charlize originally planned to stand up, but hesitated for a moment, patted Sandra beside him and signaled the barbecue grill. Sandra didn't think too much and stood up directly, "We just baked more things, maybe you can eat some leftovers." Hugo was amused by Sandra's mocking tone. He looked at Charlize in the same direction and laughed brightly, and then followed Sandra towards the barbecue grill.
Charlize looked up at Hugo, then lowered his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and joined everyone's game again.
"I guess it must be cold, why don't you put it on the grill and bake it?" Sandra found the barbecued steak, sausage and other things on the table next to her, but there was no heat anymore.
Hugo was about to go forward to open the barbecue grill, but Sandra picked up the tongs and put the meat piece skillfully on the barbecue grill. Her skillful posture was really...Holy Sandra seemed to notice Hugo's surprised eyes and said with a smile, "Why, I met me for the first time today? You have to feel honored that ordinary friends can't taste my skills." Sandra turned around and laughed, "My other dishes are average, but barbecue... this is my field."
Hugo widened his eyes, "I have to admit, this is really...Sandra." A sigh made Sandra laugh happily, and Hugo laughed together, "By the way, are you free in the latest schedule? I have a script with a character in it, see if you are interested in trying it out."
"Collaborate with Hugo? Wow, I'm already starting to get moved." Sandra sighed, then supported the pliers in her hand next to the grill, turned around and looked at Hugo, putting her left hand on her waist, crossing her right foot in front of her left foot, and acting like a "I'm the boss". "Come on, tell me what kind of character it is." This made Hugo stunned, but Sandra was very calm, "What's wrong? I also want to try to see: The feeling of letting Hugo Lancaster be reviewed is not an opportunity that everyone can have."
Hugo laughed in silence, "No problem, my majesty." Hugo immediately used his honorific words, but Sandra nodded without a lady at all. He didn't look like a queen, but like a king. Hugo held back his smile and briefly explained the script of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" and specifically mentioned the role of Lynn. "The first person of the director is you, he thinks it is your most perfect choice. If you are interested, you can read the script and meet him."
