516 Selected scripts for Comeback 516 Although it is said that Hugo has been rolling in Hollywood for nearly two years, in fact the works he has come into contact with are only the tip of the iceberg, except for "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the Women", "Yihai Xiongfeng", and "Seattle Night". In addition to the four works that he has already starred in, Sleepless" and "Schindler's List", most of them include "Death End", "Sugar Coated Trap", and "Dahe Love". Very good movies, but in fact, out of the hundreds of movies produced by Hollywood every year, only less than 30% of them can be successful.

Until today, Hugo has seen a lot of bad scripts, including works such as "Cut Throat Island" and "Future Water World" that have suffered disastrous investment results, as well as "Sharp Gun (. and "Rock and Roll". ( Such works that he has never seen or heard before are indeed eye-opening for Hugo.

Hugo can clearly feel Joseph's emphasis on big productions, similar to "Cut Throat Island", "Future Water World", "A'pol'luo l3 (.l3, and "clear.a." Danger)” Such works with investment of more than 60 million yuan account for a large proportion; there are also some works whose investment scale is less than 50 million but are willing to pay Hugo US$10 million in remuneration. This made Hugo a little annoying. Hugo knew Joseph’s position. The two of them had mentioned it once during the quarrel, but Hugo also had his own persistence and ideas. He also made it clear during the quarrel, but now Joseph not only ignores Hugo’s ideas, but even Unwilling to communicate further, then Hugo must proceed according to his own ideas. Originally, it was reasonable to say that the agent played the role of persuading the actors and tried their best to plan a career for the actors, and then the actors decided on the decision. But now, Joseph directly omitted the step of "persuasion," and Hugo naturally did not need to consider what Joseph called the "territory."

In fact, among these major productions, there are also works of ‘color’ like "Apollo L3", but Hugo is not interested in it for the time being. After flipping through all the 23 scripts on the desktop, Hugo left only the script "Life and Death Hour" on the sofa on the right hand side.

Hugo found that he was'very' difficult to serve. There were so many classic works in 1994. As a result, only one "speed of life and death" was left behind. But this is only a small part of the hundreds of works in 1994 and 1995. There are many other works that he hasn't seen, such as "This killer is not too cold", "Forrest Gump", "Gump in Disguise" ", "True lies..." So, it is not surprising that only one work has been selected now.

Hugo picked up the script of "Life and Death Hour" and ‘handed it over’ to Anna, "That’s it."

Anna was dumbfounded. She originally thought that Hugo's choice today was a rough choice. The remaining 15 of the more than 20 scripts were all within the normal range, but it turned out that Hugo was stunned to choose from so many scripts. In a script, this made Anna completely unable to react, and she blurted out subconsciously, "Didn't I make it clear?"

Anna was also taken aback by her own voice, and quickly explained, "I mean, today I'm just asking you to make a preliminary selection, and then Joe will contact these crews separately for the second round of screening." After that, Anna. Lifting the script of "Life and Death Speed" in his hand, the subtext is to say: You have only one script left, is it necessary?

Hugo curled his lips, "Yes, I know what you mean."

In fact, even if Hugo has already selected, if Joseph feels that there is still plasticity in the remaining script, he will still find it out and recommend it to Hugo again.

The cooperative relationship between the agent and the actors was originally a see-saw process. After all, the agent is also for the sake of the actors and for his own financial interests, and he definitely hopes that the selected works can be determined to be successful. But, what works can be successful? This is the question of vision. Agents and actors have different visions, so agents must use their professional knowledge to communicate with actors and seek the best results.

However, Joseph now has all communication done through Anna, and Hugo feels that there is no need to continue the tug-of-war.

Anna was just an assistant after all. She looked at Hugo with a gentle smile, but faintly noticed Hugo's unrejectable firmness, which made her close her mouth.

Hugo noticed Anna's silence and twitched the corners of her mouth slightly. He didn't say much, but just asked, "So, is there anything else?"

Anna suddenly woke up from her thoughts, recalled carefully, and confirmed that all the things that Joseph'explained' had been completed today, and then suddenly remembered an important thing, "Please wait." Anna stood up. When I walked to Joseph's desk, I saw a document on the top. I picked it up and turned around and handed it to Hugo. "This is what Joe said he wants to'hand in' to you. Please read this document carefully. "

Hugo received the document questioningly. This was actually a film contract. Hugo didn't remember that he had recently received a new script... But after reading it, Hugo was stunned.

This is an actor contract for "Pulp Fiction", produced by Miramax, directed by Quentin Tarantino, and the Weinstein brothers as producers. This contract is paid 200,000 U.S. dollars and 2%. Ten dividends invited Hugo to star in "Pulp Fiction".

The last time Hugo talked to Quentin about "Pulp Fiction" was when he was recording the album in New York. Later, there was a fierce quarrel with Joseph about this incident. After that, half of the time has passed. For more than a month, all the news seemed to disappear. Even Quentin didn’t call again. Hugo thought that the "Pulp Fiction" matter was over. Quentin also gave up. He didn’t expect this to be today. The script appeared again, and it appeared directly in the form of an actor contract, which really went beyond Hugo's expectations.

If Hugo remembers correctly, the salary of 300,000 US dollars is Quentin’s limit, and the 15% dividend is the preliminary data given by Quentin. Now these two values ​​have changed, and Joseph has reduced it. The cash remuneration received directly, but the dividend ratio has been increased, and the dividend has also set a bottom line at the box office, 8 million US dollars-in fact, this is the book cost of "Pulp Fiction". Setting this minimum standard means that the Weinstein brothers ask for one. It's just psychological comfort. If the movie box office is really only this level, they will lose money.

It can be guessed that the Weinstein brothers must have noticed the recent rapid rise of Hugo, and Hugo did not directly refuse to play as they had previously expected. On the contrary, they showed great interest, so they just Thinking of giving out some dividends to put Hugo into the crew, this is definitely a bargain business for the "Pulp Fiction" crew. Anyway, dividends are something that you won't see until the box office comes out.

But Hugo is not curious about these details, but Joseph has actually negotiated the contract, which is really weird. On the one hand, Joseph agreed to Hugo’s request and talked about the "Pulp Fiction" script; on the other hand, Joseph sent a lot of large-scale scripts today. Is Joseph looking for a balance and hope that Hugo will read it " For the face of "pup novel", another high-paid work seeks balance?

Anna seemed to perceive Hugo’s suspicion and explained, “This contract was sent yesterday, and I’m still surprised that Qiao Mingming has rejected them before, and has not talked about this project recently, but The other party sent the contract directly. I originally planned to throw it away, but Joe thought about it and asked me to'hand it over' to you, saying that it was up to you to make the decision."-Or she didn't see the rain Guo's doubts are just simply expressing his doubts.

Hugo raised his head and saw Anna's puzzlement as expected.

It seems that this is the right answer. Joseph was still dissatisfied with the script of "Pulp Fiction". He always believed that Hugo should not take this project, but Quentin was always reluctant to give up. After increasing the box office dividend ratio, he sent the contract directly. In this way Express your sincerity and hope that Joseph will agree-but why doesn't Quentin call Hugo directly?

Thinking about it carefully, it is estimated that these things are operated by the Weinstein brothers. They are still habitually looking for an agent. When the agent is really out of reach, they plan to find Hugo. Then all this is explained.

Joseph didn’t want Hugo to accept the script of "Pulp Fiction", but since there was no communication between the two people after the big quarrel, if we discuss the matter of "Pulp Fiction" again, it would only make things more rigid, and Joseph knew about the rain. Guo is a very stubborn person, so he simply gave up and then convinced Hugo, and directly'handed over' to Hugo to make a decision.

After understanding, Hugo shook his head slightly, speechless for Joseph's childish and irresponsible behavior.

Seeing Hugo shook her head and smiled bitterly, Anna thought that Hugo didn't want to pick up "Pulp Fiction", which immediately dissipated her doubts. Originally, Hugo has achieved such high achievements by relying on the past four movies. How can it be possible to take a film with an investment of 8 million and a remuneration of 200,000? This is really incredible. Now I see Hugo. With expression, Anna nodded inwardly, then smiled and thoughtfully said, "If you feel inappropriate, just stay, I will be responsible for communicating with them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But who knows, Hugo did He chuckled slightly, "Why?" Then he raised his head and looked at the puzzled Anna, watching Anna's smile gradually stiffen on his cheeks, "I want to sign this contract, the company's legal department's door 'Have you seen the contract details?"

Anna seemed a little overwhelmed, which forced Hugo to wave the contract. "Have you seen the details of the contract by the'door' of the Legal Department?"

"Oh, no." Anna then reacted and said hurriedly, "No, not yet. I, I will send it to them." She originally threw this contract in the trash can, so how could she send it there? Give the legal department a'door' review.

Hugo didn't care about Anna's panic at all, and he smiled, "That's good, after the review, I will come over to sign."
