Chapter 1128： Happiness troubles
Rick looked at Hugo with a wide smile in front of him, and looked at Joseph in surprise, "When was the last time he was like this?" Rick had given Hugo several scripts before, but he had never seen Hugo like this. It looks like, you can imagine how much Hugo likes this script today.
Joseph thought carefully for a long time, and then deliberately said, "'Schindler's list'." At the beginning, Hugo learned that Ron Meyer was tempted by "Schindler's list". When he re-joined Lang's banner, the ecstasy in his heart was about this level. As for "Pulp Fiction," because Hugo had a direct interview with Quentin when he was in New York, Joseph didn't quite understand what Hugo was like at that time.
Joseph hesitated for a while, and added, "I think it's probably because he saw a certain shining point in this script, such as acting. He hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time, so he... so excited. "Rick suddenly realized.
Joseph really knew Hugo. The script of "Seven Deadly Sins" made Hugo feel the passion again, and he even a little eagerly wanted to star in this work. This feeling of eagerness is really long gone.
"So, I can understand that you want to star in this work?" Rick also showed a smile on his face. Obviously, he is also very satisfied with the "Seven Deadly Sins" work.
Strictly speaking, the "seven deadly sins" are horror, suspense, and drama movies. They are not a type that will sell well at the box office, but the market potential of this type of work has never been underestimated. In the case of Xiaoboda, the suspense and horror type is even more popular than comedy. After all, it is easier to scare the audience than to amuse the audience.
Hugo nodded with joy, "Of course, of course." If it were before, Hugo would definitely not be so excited. After all, he is now a real actor who has seen countless classics, but now he has not filmed for half a year. I haven't even touched any scripts, and suddenly saw so many good works, which made Hugo relax his whole body, and his emotions are naturally very high.
But Hugo looked at the script in his hand, and on the cover there was an extremely simple "seven". It didn't look like a high-investment commercial blockbuster. Hugo couldn't help but look at Rick. Do you think this work is good too?"
Rick smiled, "If it were'Man in Black' or'Air Force One', I would be happier, but this work is also very good." Rick's words made Hugo chuckle. "This one The new line of the work has not given a specific cost line, because from the director to the actors have not been determined, they do not know how much weight the work can have, but I have asked, if you are willing to play, they are willing to pay you one. Ten million dollars in remuneration, plus box office dividends. So, this is a good deal."
For a suspense and thriller movie, it is impossible for the investment to approach 100 million like "Air Force One" or "Men in Black". The cost of 50 million is already very high, so the new line is willing to spend five cents. One of the cost of paying Hugo pay, this sincerity is absolutely no problem-after all, the 20 million pay is about one-fifth of the investment cost of the "Men in Black", and there is definitely no box office dividend. .
Once the signing of the 20 million film remuneration is successful, it will be an epoch-making record that the entire Hollywood will be turbulent. From 15 million to 20 million, although it is only a difference of 5 million, it breaks a level, which means Hugo. Surpassed Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many other box office superstars to become the first person in Hollywood. This record is incredible enough, so it can be speculated that there will be no box office dividends.
From a comprehensive consideration, the priority levels of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and the "Men in Black" are actually the same, and for Endeavour's elite brokerage companies, they are also half a catastrophe.
But Rick's words are not finished yet, "As for the director, New Line Film is now working hard to get David Cronenberg (.) to join."
Hugo suddenly realized.
David Cronenberg can be said to be one of the most unique directors in the film industry. He has not only won countless awards and praise, but also has a group of loyal followers. "Murder on videotape (, "Naked lunch (naked. and other works are all works with distinctive styles and unique themes. Although he has never been welcomed at the Oscars, he has not even a nomination. I have received it, but I have received a lot of praise at the three major European film festivals.
Purely from the subject matter, this consideration of the new line is still very reasonable. From this point of view, the "Seven Deadly Sins" obviously still has a little advantage compared to the current situation of "Men in Black" whose director's prospects are unclear.
Hugo was suddenly a little curious. If the new line told Rick that they finally finalized the filming of "Alien 3" before David Fincher as the director, would Rick be so satisfied with the "Seven Deadly Sins"?
Rick didn’t know what Hugo was thinking. He went on to say, “But the theme of the'seven deadly sins' is too biased. I have investigated it. In fact, Xinxian is still hesitant at the moment. They calculated this way. If they can have a solid cast and trustworthy director, they will invest in production; otherwise, they would rather put the script on hold, and they are not willing to take risks."
Hugo nodded his chin slightly, and he was not surprised by this.
"The Seven Deadly Sins" screenwriter Andrew-Kevin Walker (andrew...walker) is unknown in Hollywood, and has just written a "Six Degrees of Tremor ( script before. Therefore, the entire process of selling the "Seven Deadly Sins" script was very difficult. There was a gossip and legend that in order to be able to sell the script, he listed the names of all the agents or agents who bought the thriller suspense on a piece of paper, and then one by one. Call them until you get a reply agreeing to buy.
Although I don't know how true this gossip is, it is certain that the "Seven Deadly Sins" script is so niche and individual that even new-line film companies that were born in shooting low-cost horror films must be careful. Because "The Seven Deadly Sins" is not only a thriller and suspense movie, but also discusses religious and social issues, such a work will be completely lost if accidentally, and even endure countless infamy.
Therefore, even if the investment in such works is often not high, few companies are willing to invest-this is equivalent to knowing that there is no return of the money.
The considerations of the new line film company naturally have traces to follow.
Hugo guessed that when the New Line Film Company invested the script for himself, he probably did not have a clear idea at all. It was just that he had picked up special works such as "Pulp Fiction" and "Before Sunrise" before, and now it is the most independent film. A successful actor, so he voted for Rick with the mentality of giving it a try.
But who knows, Hugo saw the "seven deadly sins" at a glance.
Of course, Rick is willing to find out the "seven deadly sins" from countless works and recommend it to Hugo. From here, Rick's vision can also be seen. This reminds Hugo of Martin Baum. He not only selected this work for Brad Pitt, but also started with "Interview with Vampires at Night" and "The Years of Love", plus "Twelve "Monkey", he personally pushed Brad to the position of idol superstar, indeed with a sharp vision.
"So, do you plan to stay and see these works?" Rick's voice pulled Hugo back to reality again. Only then did Hugo notice that he had read all the works and completed the selection.
Hugo looked at his right hand side, "Man in Black", "Pocahontas", "Sense and Emotion", "Tornado", "Moment of Killing", "Break into Death Island", "Gambling City" , "Twelve Monkeys", "Mission Impossible", "Seven Deadly Sins"... He actually left ten scripts, which is really... too many.
"Wow, it seems that the agent's ability to be too capable is also an annoyance." Hugo sighed and said, he is just an ordinary person and has no avatars, so these works will definitely face a choice due to scheduling issues.
But I have to admire it. Rick brought over twenty scripts today, and Hugo left nearly half in one breath. Rick's vision and ability are clearly displayed, and he has a clear enough understanding of Hugo's taste and requirements. This is really good news for the continued cooperation between the two people in the future.
Rick was amused by Hugo's words, but he was not humble, let alone refuted. Rick has such confidence and confidence.
"Our task in the next few days is very arduous Joseph looked at Samora and said with a smile, it is obviously very difficult for Hugo to read ten scripts in a short period of time. Therefore, as Hugo’s assistants, Joseph and Samora must shoulder this responsibility. After reading the script, they will give their feedback to Hugo and help Hugo filter the script.
Hugo did not refute, although he knew all these scripts in his mind. However, at this time, he was already entangled in his heart. Some of the ten scripts were left strategically, but a few of them were indeed what he really wanted to play. Hugo glanced through the ten scripts left on the right hand side. After making a choice, the four scripts of "Twelve Monkeys", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Mission Impossible", and "Break into Death Island" were in his His eyes stopped reluctantly.
This is not an overly difficult choice, but the problem is that choosing one of the four is not so easy. Although the issue of schedule has to be considered, and the issue of interviews with the director and producer is considered, it is still a matter of whether to achieve cooperation. Unknown, but it seems difficult to discard which one.
There are so many masterpieces that it is difficult to choose, Hugo is facing an extremely happy trouble. "Huh, I hope I am a t-800 now." Can have many independent thinking clones. Hugo stretched his waist and spoke in a mocking tone. Rick, Joseph, and Samora looked at each other, then laughed together.
Joseph thought carefully for a long time, and then deliberately said, "'Schindler's list'." At the beginning, Hugo learned that Ron Meyer was tempted by "Schindler's list". When he re-joined Lang's banner, the ecstasy in his heart was about this level.
