Chapter 1012： Corporate Affairs
"&
Hugo is not a professional agent, even an amateur. He doesn't know how to "sell himself", so he doesn't know how to persuade Joanna Rowling to call Endeavour Elite Agency. This is true. Not his expertise.
Just like when Hugo finished writing the "" script, he also had a headache on how to sell the script. This is a truth. However, "before sunrise" is different, because it is the result of countless efforts Hugo has spent. However, it is not the same thing at all to conduct trading probes like a broker and attract potential people.
Therefore, Hugo couldn't tell the truth in the end. He tried to say "Our company is an excellent choice", but he felt like he was selling fake drugs or something. Fortunately, at least when Hugo and Joanna discussed the manuscript of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", they could definitely be called endless talk, and the two people's thoughts had a lot of collisions.
Literature can be listed side by side with movies and music because it is a kind of creation, which expresses the core of thought in different forms. Therefore, to a certain extent, these art forms have something in common, and Hugo has also written scripts, and the dialogue with Joanna is even more sparkling.
It's a pity that the conversation between the two was interrupted by Jessica, who woke up from crying again. It was obvious that Jessica was starving this time. Joanna tried to appease Jessica, but failed. In desperation, Joanna could only apologize to Hugo, and then left with Jessica.
Watching Joanna disappear into the cyan rain and mist, Hugo sighed with regret. He really wasn't suitable for being a lobbyist. If Joanna is able to sign a contract with Endeavour Elite Agency, the initiative to adapt the rights to the "Harry Potter" series of films in the future will benefit the company a lot, and even gain more bargaining chips in the confrontation with international innovation management companies. ; Of course, in turn, it is also a major opportunity for Joanna to improve the current bad life situation. This is a win-win cooperation. But Hugo failed to convince Joanna in the first place. This is really...
"Huh, I really didn't think so." Hugo twitched his mouth with a mockery.
Although Hugo has successfully become one of the senior partners of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, he has never intervened in the company's business at all, because this is not his area of expertise. At the beginning, I chose to support Rick only because the interests of several other brokerage companies are the same, not because Hugo really wants to succeed in business.
But after experiencing the ups and downs of the summer, Hugo also knows that the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is still in its infancy and needs his support. And now, there is an opportunity before my eyes...
After thinking about it, Hugo came to the counter of the coffee shop and dialed Rick's cell phone on the other side of the ocean with a fixed phone. It was late at night in Los Angeles, but Rick picked up the phone for the first time, "Hello, this is Rick Rosen."
"Hey, Rick, Hugo is talking." Hugo's brisk voice passed, and Rick's tight face couldn't help but relax, and smiled lightly, "Aren't you enjoying your vacation, even *, I didn’t attend the premiere, so we were all in a hurry. Why did you even think of calling me."
Rick wanted to make a joke, but the cooperative relationship between him and Hugo is still greater than the relationship between friends, so the words will inevitably be somewhat restrained. Even so, Hugo chuckled slightly, "Maybe I'm in trouble?"
"...Then you should call Joe." Rick was stunned, and then realized that Hugo must be joking. If an artist is really in trouble, the first person to contact must be his manager, and then he will contact the agent. This is fundamentally different. What's more, Hugo and Joseph were good friends.
"Is that what I just heard?" Hugo's ridicule made Rick chuck helplessly, but there was no rebuttal. Seeing that Rick didn't respond, after Hugo laughed, he didn't talk about it anymore, and soon got into the topic, "I called you because there is a business that requires you to pay attention."
"Business?" Rick adjusted his sitting posture. His desktop was filled with recent "" media reactions, and the company's next plans. He had been working before answering the phone, but now he is listening. When Hugo actually had an idea about the company's affairs, he couldn't help being a little surprised.
Hugo also heard the surprise in Rick's voice, could not help blushing, and coughed slightly, "This is the way it is, I am in Edinburgh now and I found a writer with great potential..."
"Writer?" Rick interrupted Hugo's words in surprise. Hugo was stunned. "Uh, does our company have no publishing business?" Hugo remembered that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company was involved in the publishing field, and then he I heard Rick explain, "No, we do have a publishing business. We used to have a dedicated publishing department when we were at the International Innovation Management Company. Both Ali and I have taken over related businesses before, but... our company is just now. In the beginning, the film and television departments alone were busy enough, and the music department didn’t have much time to take care of. As for publishing...
There is no need for Rick to say more, Hugo reacted, he really forgot. The job of an agent is simple to say, it is to use your mouth to promote your own artists, but in fact it is not that simple.
Hugo paused and thought, "I know, I know. But the author I found, she is now creating..." But Hugo's words were interrupted again, "She?" Apparently Rick was very surprised. Hugo actually recommended a female writer. Hugo sighed helplessly, "Please, Rick, can't you wait for me to sigh after I finish talking?"
"Sorry, my fault, you continue." Rick apologized again and again.
Hugo then went on to say, "She has only created less than a quarter of the part. Even if we sign a contract and let her finish the whole novel, she will have to wait until next year or even the next year. The reason why I am with you Mentioning this writer is because she is indeed very potential. The novels she created are very attractive in terms of creativity and conception, including the overall framework. I think they will definitely sell well; on the other hand, it is because of her. The situation is very bad now. She needs some funding. I think you can help her find some help from the foundation."
Rick did not speak. After the two people were silent for about two seconds, he said, "Oh, you're done." Hugo laughed helplessly, and Rick continued, "So, let me summarize. Here is the situation, that is to say, you see a writer and think it has potential, but she does not have a complete work. There is no way for us to sell it to the publishing house immediately. At the same time, we still need our funding."
As Rick said, Joanna was really not a good choice. What's more, when the "Harry Potter" series just came out, it was indeed not favored. So many people didn't think that this novel would sell well, or even be unwilling to publish it. Therefore, Hugo is indeed recommended a difficult object. Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but laugh.
Hugo didn't know how to convince Rick, because this was indeed a difficult problem. He could never tell Rick that he foresaw the future of "Harry Potter" as a cash cow.
Hugo thought for a while, "Rick, you should know that I have always had special...requirements for scripts. Very often, I can perceive the characteristics of scripts that others are not satisfied with." This is a fact, especially "" and "" these two works. Rick nodded and agreed.
"I read her story, and I saw the highlights. I cheered for it and loved her, so I can’t wait to recommend her to you. I am eager to see her complete the whole story. I also want to To see the scene when everyone reads this story."
Hugo's words completely caught Rick's attention. Rick is not Joanna. Rick knows a lot about Hugo. He knows very well that after experiencing the strength of many consecutive works, people in the circle now have a new understanding of Hugo's unique vision, so It is not easy to get Hugo's firm respect. Even if Hugo's words are not gorgeous, the weight in Rick's heart is definitely not light.
"So, you mean, our company should sign her." Rick said hesitantly.
"To" Hugo gave a positive answer, "At least, we can make a long-term investment, which will be a good investment."
Rick tapped his finger on the desktop twice, "After signing the contract, look for support from the Foundation, give her a relatively relaxed and stable creative environment, and then wait for her to write the novel. This time may be one year. , Maybe two years... right?"
"Uh...that's it." Hugo smiled helplessly, and then he added, "However, I just gave her the company phone number. Whether she would like to call or not is still unknown."
Rick was planning to nod his head, but now he was choked by Hugo's words, "Ahem, what are you doing so actively?"
"Because she is really worth it. UU reading " Hugo gave a firm answer again. This time, Rick was completely sure that it is certainly not that simple to make Hugo such a determined writer. After taking a deep breath, Rick said, "If she calls the company, I will proactively express Intent to cooperate. What's the name of this guy?"
A smile appeared on Hugo's face, "She's Joanna Rowling"
Rick nodded, "If you are willing to pay more attention to company affairs, this is a good thing. I think Ali will be happy to hear it." Ali-Emanuel has always hoped that Hugo can be more concerned about company affairs. Be careful, because Endeavour Elite Brokerage really needs the help of a group of celebrities.
"If you don't mind if I'm unfavorable..." Hugo smiled, "Okay, let's do this first, and then contact me if you have something to do.
After speaking, Hugo hung up the phone. Rick held a busy microphone with a depressed expression. He originally wanted to ask when Hugo would return to Los Angeles, but the speed at which Hugo hung up the phone... shook his head, and Rick reluctantly hung up the phone.
