Chapter 1375 1375 Fighting for Control
Hearing Hugo's question, the hesitation between Alfonso's eyebrows calmed down instead, "The last time Henry and I mentioned it, I thought it was an interesting proposal, and it would be good to try something different."
It means that Alfonso is indeed interested in the "unstoppable miracle". Hugo was stunned at first, because the members of Glory to the Dead all came together with the music. Neil, Fukukin, and Pedro were all pure musicians and had no interest in acting at all. It was only then that Dro complained about the band's reduced activity time, so Hugo didn't expect Alfonso to be interested in performing.
The reason why Glory to Death has always been impure in the eyes of pure rock fans is that music is the most fundamental factor, and Hugo, the lead singer, is an actor, which is also one of the reasons. Many rock musicians and rock fans are devoted to music and disdain for other things.
But then Hugo also reacted. Alfonso's personality is always exquisite, and he is willing to try different new things. Otherwise, he would not have become a car salesman after he gave up music. For Ernest, Fukun and Pedro, Alfonso is the one who is willing to be flexible.
The stunned look on Hugo's face was replaced by a bright smile. Hugo is an actor and singer himself, and he naturally couldn't understand Alfonso's thoughts any more, "It's a good idea, so, what specifics do you have? plan? You can ask me for advice if necessary."
When Alfonso heard Hugo's neat answer, the smile on his face sketched again, "I don't have any plans, I just think this project is good."
As for the actor, Alfonso obviously knew nothing, Hugo nodded and thought for a while, "If you have any questions, you can ask Carl directly, you are familiar with him, some details You can ask any questions. Then, I'll contact Tom to see how far the project is going, and I'll ask him to hand me the script if necessary."
For Hugo, this is actually just a hands-on effort. If Alfonso is really interested, given the relationship between Hugo and Tom, 20th Century Fox, and DreamWorks, it is not a problem to give Alfonso a role at all, and even if Alfonso has a certain strength, he will give the male lead role to him. It's not impossible for him either.
Since Alfonso is interested, Hugo is naturally very willing to help, "But I think you should tell others, so that everyone will not be in a hurry." In fact, Hugo's subtext was to avoid his own situation before. Many things are hidden in their hearts, which caused Pedro's dissatisfaction. Communication is also very important for the band.
It's just that Glory to Death was originally because of the actor Hugo, which led to not many activities. If another actor was added... Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but have a headache.
"I'm just interested, no one knows if things will actually work out." Alfonso laughed, and he could sense his relaxed mood, "But don't worry, I'll greet Pepe and the others in advance. ."
"Do you need steak? This is Samora just grilled, five mature..." Cameron's voice came over, and Alfonso immediately stood up with a warm expression on his face. The ignorant smile glanced at Hugo, and then said to Cameron, "You came just right, Hugo just complained to me, he is dying of starvation."
Cameron, who said a word, blushed a little, and then Alfonso laughed and left.
As the night got darker, Hugo temporarily put his work behind him and joined his friends in the carnival. After everyone dispersed, it was already past two in the morning. Except for Mr. Perfect and Charlize who left, everyone else stayed in Hugo's villa to continue their revelry.
When Hugo returned to the room on the second floor, Cameron was already asleep. He helped Cameron cover the quilt, then walked up to the third floor and dialed Rick's phone. He picked it up, but Hugo was startled, and then heard Rick's voice come out, "Exactly, I'm still thinking about whether the party is over now, and I'm going to call you."
Hugo laughed dumbly, "I was worried about disturbing your sleep."
"If I had time, I would definitely go directly to your party for the party. It's just that there were several consecutive meetings here today, and I'm still in the company, so I haven't been able to find time." Rick explained briefly, "I didn't expect that you Called me in person, what, do you have anything to do?" Although Rick also had something to call Hugo, he would not forget that Hugo took the initiative to call him today, so he asked first.
"It's not my business, it's Alfonso..." Hugo simply said, "Tom is preparing for this project, right?"
"Well, that's true, but the script is still in the writing stage, and Tom attaches great importance to it." Rick nodded slightly, but his thoughts drifted a little far. This was the first time Hugo took the initiative to use his connections. Rick couldn't help but think a little more, "I'll leave this matter to Karl. I'll say hello to Henry and Karl respectively. Where's Tom?"
"I'll call Tom in person after dawn today." Rick knew enough about Hugo to understand Hugo's intention at once, which also saved Hugo a lot of trouble.
Rick touched his chin involuntarily, "Hugo, you should know that if you say hello to Alfonso, then Kevin's plan will be realized." Although the "unstoppable miracle" is the most important It's a Tom Hanks project, but Twentieth Century Fox has been working closely with DreamWorks on this project. So, Rick immediately understood the ins and outs.
Now that Hugo has helped Alfonso, it actually means that Kevin Pence's abacus has succeeded, and then Rick will lose some initiative when he talks with 20th Century Fox about the "Independence Day" project. Of course, this is not a critical thing, nor is it a fatal link. Although it has an impact, it is almost negligible. It is just some psychological advantages. But for Kevin, that little psychological advantage is all he needs.
Rick's sharpness is not surprising, Hugo rubbed his eyebrows slightly, "Rick, I know, this is the rule of society, I'm not a child." Hugo just has principles, not a fool. Hugo let out a long sigh, "But I still have the upper hand now, don't I? Since Kevin wants to complete his puzzle, why don't we help?"
Rick couldn't help but stunned, Hugo's tone was still very gentle, even a little more tired than usual - after all, it was already early in the morning, but these words made Rick shout badly, he always felt a little bit something is going to happen. Sure enough, Hugo's next words made Rick stunned.
"You told me that Kevin is willing to pay me 20 million yuan for this work, and then use this to start a follow-up plan, right?" Hugo's words were gentle and quiet, and he didn't feel anything special at all, but the content of the words was not. People can't help but start to shiver, "Then, we will fulfill him, what do you think?"
Rick's mind had no reason to think of the scenes of Hugo playing tricks on reporters several times. Hugo, who seemed bright and genial on the surface, would reveal his dark side from time to time, which reminded Rick of "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Seven Deadly Sins". Death Ramble", how did Hugo show those dark characters?
Immediately afterwards, Rick heard Hugo's gentle voice and continued, "There is also a box office dividend, I don't know exactly what it will be, but I think you should strive for it." Since Kevin wants to take advantage of Everything to achieve the plan, then Hugo doesn't mind cooperating, and then let Kevin bleed once - not only 20th Century Fox, but also Kevin.
Rick took a deep breath!
In 1995, it was the first time that the Lions got a salary of 20 million US dollars. Now Hugo is still asking for box office dividends, which is no different from robbery! You know, now many actors don't receive box office dividends after they get 15 million US dollars in remuneration, only small-cost works like "Pulp Fiction" and "Life and Death", because there is not enough funds to pay high prices The remuneration can only be replaced by box office dividends. In the early 1990s, it was always a relatively rare thing for an actor to get a box office bonus.
Now, Hugo has gone a step further, and you can imagine how wonderfully Twentieth Century Fox's expression will be when he hears this request.
Thinking of this, Rick was rather excited, and he was quite eager to try. If he really followed Hugo's words, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company would definitely take a big step forward. This is a big step for the company. Golden opportunity.
"But the script...?" In addition to being excited, Rick remained calm, and he immediately thought of the core script issue. The current script, not to mention Hugo, is even dissatisfied with Rick himself, "I can't believe Kevin will submit this script, it's incredible."
"I heard Joe say it," Hugo apparently thought about it, "just do as you say, and you tell them that I'm very picky about the script, and the script has to be revised, and then my role has to increase, If it's not absolutely starring, I won't accept it."
This... This is simply a completely big-name approach - of course, Hugo is now an absolute superstar, the top superstar in Hollywood and even the world, and he definitely has the capital to offer these conditions. It is conceivable that when 20th Century Fox heard these conditions, his expression could never remain calm. This was Hugo, who had always been humble and low-key, and it was the first time that Hugo had really come into contact with a commercial film with huge investment. , the impact is almost unimaginable. So, if 20th Century Fox isn't willing, then other companies will surely be willing to nod for Hugo.
The excitement in Rick's heart couldn't help but start to jump up. He has already begun to gear up, and confronting a giant crocodile like Twentieth Century Fox can make his blood boil, "I know, leave it to me!"
This is a confrontation for control and mastery of the initiative, and it is also a confrontation that changes the historical process of Hollywood. It is really unknown who can gain the upper hand!
