After Barry Mayer returned, Rick Rosen revealed his excitement the next day that Hugo is preparing for a new work recently, and this time Hugo will not only complete the script writing himself, but also be sure to play the leading role.

Although there is nothing substantial about this news about the work, the news about the work is almost zero, even so, it still makes the whole of Hollywood lively. Hugo once again became the focus of attention of major production companies, and it was very lively for a while.

Hugo started a new project plan shortly after the completion of the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", which means that Hugo has not rejected taking on new works recently. This is a surprise news for major production companies. They have projects in their hands that they hope to cooperate with Hugo. Even if they are not immediately invested in the filming, they hope to make an appointment for Hugo's next schedule in advance. Therefore, impressing Hugo has become everyone's primary goal.

Not to mention the new work project revealed by Rick. If he can cooperate with Hugo to develop this project, it will be a huge profit for any production company. This is a project that can achieve profitability of 99% and more importantly, it can also bring close distance to Hugo, and no one wants to miss it.

Even if you are not interested in this project, you will join in the fun with this momentum. It is best to be able to get Hugo's project; it is also good to be interested in the project in your hands; even if it is not successful, it is acceptable to have a good relationship with Hugo.

Therefore... the Eight Immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers.

Universal Pictures’ Lang Meyer brought the mysterious “the.mummy”. The film invested 80 million US dollars and was ambitious, hoping to become another “Raptor of the Lost Ark” series.

If we follow the historical development trajectory, "Mummy" has indeed been made into a trilogy of series, but whether it is box office results, word-of-mouth feedback, and social influence, the "Mummy" series is far from comparable to "Raiders of the Lost Ark". However, from an objective perspective, the first part of "Mummy" is still very good. The wonderful story and just the right special effects, combined with the mysterious ancient Egyptian culture, are indeed exciting.

However, after learning that Hugo was preparing for a biographical movie, Lang shook his head, and he obviously did not have much interest in biographical works.

Universal Pictures has always been the main positioning of comedy movies, and occasionally dabbling in other commercial movies. Works like "Jurassic Park" are already considered a minority, and biographical movies are exactly the field they are not good at, and Lang doesn't want to take too much risk. Of course, Lang also knows that in this competition, they are not at the top of the game, so it's better to sell a favor, ease the relationship, and be able to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, which is so pleasant.

Robert Eiger, the newly appointed president of Disney's international business department, showed "Gone.in.60.conds" to Hugo. This work is adapted from the 1974 film of the same name. It is a remake by famous producer Jerry Brookheimer. The investment of 90 million US dollars marks his ambition.

Hugo had almost no impression of this work, and only after Robert's reminder was vaguely remembered. It seemed that the protagonists should be Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie, but in addition, the memories in his mind were very limited. He knew nothing about the quality of the work, word of mouth and box office results.

However, Robert used one sentence to make Hugo interested in this work, "They had to steal fifty cars in one night", which is his summary of the story of the entire movie. It reminded Hugo of the "Fast & Furious" series that later became popular around the world.

Robert once again successfully left the script at Hugo's hand and expressed his appreciation for the "beautiful soul". John Nash, who is full of inspiration, bumpy, and magical life experience, has always been Disney's favorite movie type. In Disney's film plan, there are quotas of one or two movies that are fixed for biography almost every year, and they are particularly favored for inspiring sports stories. Their purpose is not to box office or awards, but to rely on the large accumulation of these works. After the cinema is released, it will be re-screened on the Disney Channel, and then establish Disney's positive image.

So, Robert was really interested in the script of "Beautiful Mind". He even joked that "I can't find a partner that is more suitable than Disney."

Then Sony Columbia Pictures came to the door with the "Patriot" project. This $110 million work has confirmed its intention to cooperate with the Engaging Elite Agency. The director has determined that Roland Emmerich, Heath Ledger, Sandra Brock, and Alexander Lorraine have been confirmed to be about to star in the upcoming performance.

Even without the recent rumors of "beautiful soul", it was only a matter of time before Mark Canton found Hugo. He locked the male lead in Hugo from the beginning. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who worked together for "Independence Day", will gather together again, and it can be seen that Mark's careful preparations are being seen.

However, Hugo was not very interested in the movie "Patriot". He knew this movie, and he also knew that the reputation and box office of the movie were good. Although it could not be said to be excellent, it was indeed good. However, objectively speaking, the theme of "Patriot" was too scattered, and the overall feeling was too greedy, so that nothing was said in the end. Using the American War of Independence as a carrier to tell the human desire for freedom, the film was unable to combine the magnificence and cruelty of the war with the theme. Overall, it can only be regarded as a qualified work.

War movies, this should be one of the most difficult subjects to shoot, and it is definitely not an easy task to surpass the peak of "Save Private Ryan".

However, Mark didn't mind. He hoped to cooperate with Hugo in the work "Beautiful Mind". His sincerity was unquestionable, and his trust in Hugo was beyond the reach of other companies. Mark even said that as long as the cost was less than 100 million US dollars, he could give the green light.

Mark seemed a little anxious and showed his trump card early. But this was exactly Mark's sincerity and urgency. Combined with the countless small things that have happened in the past few years, it has to be said that Mark has taken the lead in this cooperation.

Kevin Pence of 20th Century Fox is more like a formality. Although he brought the project "Cast.away", "Cast.away" is actually a project of DreamWorks. It was just that DreamWorks and 20th Century Fox signed a cooperation agreement, and the two parties collaborated on production, and the director determined Robert Zemegis of "Forrest Gump".

However, since DreamWorks and Twentieth Century Fox are both in a critical period, the filming of "The Rest of the Desert Island" is not in a hurry. It is expected to start next summer and be released in 2000. The huge success of the "Titanic" has made Twentieth Century Fox breathe, but Kevin still has a lot of burdens on his shoulders. Even if he is not terrifying every step of the way, he must be careful.

Kevin knew that Sony Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros. would inevitably be big-handed in the process of competing for the "beautiful soul", and it was difficult for him to compete for the competition, so he chose to watch the wall, just like Lang.

As for the male lead of "The Rest of the Desert Island", Kevin does hope that Hugo can play, but this project is more complicated. Robert prefers Tom Hanks to play, while he prefers Hugo. As for Steven Spielberg's palms and backs are all flesh, he does not express his opinion.

There is no need to say anything about the success of the "Remaining Life of the Desert Island". This work has achieved success in box office, reputation, awards and other aspects. The film tells the story of the protagonist who was wandered to a deserted island in the Pacific due to an airplane accident. He must use his own hands to open up a way out of life, and there is no other way.

This work is completely a one-man show for the male lead, which puts the most severe test on the actor. Tom Hanks played the male lead and won him the Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Although he failed to win the final award, many people believe that Tom's performance once again made a breakthrough and dedicated a performance that was more outstanding than "Forrest Gump".

From the perspective of acting skills, "The Rest of the Desert Island" is definitely the top challenge, especially the performance of a one-man show throughout the whole process, which increases the difficulty of the performance process. This also made Hugo quite interested.

But the project "Remaining the Desert Island" is really special. Hugo keeps the script, but it doesn't mean that Hugo can star in it. Next, we have to see how everyone chooses. So Kevin is more about going through the motions and showing the attitude of Twentieth Century Fox, and then he does not participate in this competition too much.

Paramount's Shirley Lansing never showed up, which is an unexpected but reasonable situation. In order to compete for control of the "Truemon World", Shirley fought with Rick Rosen several times. Although she did not break up, the cooperation between the two sides was indeed not pleasant. In the end, Hugo was unable to become the producer of "Truemon World".

Now, the great success of the movie has made Shirley both fame and fortune, but it has also put her in a dilemma. Hugo's final pay is 39 million US dollars. Although it has not been able to break Hugo's current record of highest pay, it can still be ranked among the top three on Hugo's pay list. This means that Shirley has carefully calculated it and still paid a considerable pay price, and the result is a bit unpleasant.

This time the competition for "beautiful souls" was wisely not involved in the competition, because she knew that when the "Trumen's world" had not ended for a long time, if she wanted to ease the relationship, unless she was willing to pay more benefits, she would only be herself in the cooperation. Instead of doing so, she might as well just watch, and slowly ease the relationship between them, and then seek cooperation before seeking cooperation. After all, this is Hollywood where interests are paramount. In this way, she does not need to pay more benefits, and she does not need to be humble.
