Chapter 1457： Right to choose

When he got home, Hugo called Rick and mentioned about the meeting with James today. Rick was just a little stunned, and then he laughed, "No wonder Kevin asked me for dinner several times before. "

Rick also figured out everything at this time. Kevin had spent a lot of effort before. It could not be just for an "Independence Day". Obviously, it was not just the "Titanic". What Kevin really wanted was Long-term cooperation-Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is now a force that cannot be ignored. Of course, what Kevin is planning recently is naturally the "Titanic".

"Independence Day" has not yet finished, and the next one has already entered the plan, and Kevin is really ambitious.

"How did you talk to James?" Rick seemed very relaxed. After the first 20 million remuneration was created on Independence Day, Rick now has a very relaxed choice, and he does not want to urge Hugo all the time. So the mentality is better.

"It's not very pleasant, maybe you can listen to James' version." Hugo said with a chuckle, but didn't say much. "But the investment of 200 million US dollars and the salary of 20 million US dollars, James is so promised, you Shouldn't you be very interested in this?"

"Wow, I'm really interested, but the problem is, you are not interested." Rick said with certainty. Based on his understanding of Hugo, in fact, simply sketch in his mind and know how Hugo and James talked. It's one thing, Rick is not familiar with the personalities of these top Hollywood figures, but he is certainly no stranger.

"How do you know that I am not interested?" Hugo asked directly, enthusiastically, "Maybe, I am very interested in James this script?"

Rick didn't hesitate at all, and directly replied, "Of course it couldn't be better. I will definitely try my best to fight for this script for you."

"Even if James doesn't want me to be the leading actor?" Hugo asked rhetorically.

"Even if James doesn't want you to be the leading actor!" Rick replied affirmatively.

Hugo laughed dumbfounded. Hollywood is a world run by money. In the crew, the real power of life and death is the producer. No matter how great the power of the director is, the producer can’t surpass the producer. Look at David Fincher’s filming. You know what happened in Alien 3, and he doesn't even have the final editing rights. Of course, top directors like Steven will also serve as producers and take the decision-making power in their own hands.

It is very rare that Fox tried to change the ending in the "Seven Deadly Sins" in the twentieth century. This time, Fox compromised with Hugo in the twentieth century.

But if 20th Century Fox is allowed to choose between James and Hugo, this is definitely not an easy battle. After all, James is the real core of the "Titanic" and the actors are only part of it. Of course, Rick’s self-confidence is not without reason. In terms of the current level of Fox’s trust in Hugo in the twentieth century, it is very likely that Hugo will be able to win the discourse initiative and deflate James.

However, Hugo also clearly knows that it is not uncommon for the director and the actors in the crew to have a disagreement. But in a situation like Hugo and James, once the conflict between the two parties intensifies, it will be a disaster for the entire crew, and it is very likely. The terrifying scene of the "future water world" will be reproduced. This is something no one wants to see, including Rick.

Rick heard Hugo’s chuckle, and the corners of his mouth were curved, "Hugo, I’m serious. The most important thing is yourself. Do you want to appear in this movie?"

Indeed, does Hugo want to star in "Titanic"? This is the point.

After hanging up the phone, Hugo stood there thinking for a while, but there was a mess of thoughts in his mind. He couldn't figure out a clear idea. He went to the kitchen and poured a glass of juice, and then slowly walked to the hall. The sofa sat down, lost in thought.

Hugo clearly remembered that he walked into the cinema to watch the "Titanic" scene, because that was the first time he watched a brand new movie in the cinema. Because I was born in a small town, the movie theaters in the town usually show old movies from the past, which are organized by the school to watch them, similar to the replays of old movies such as "Mom Loves Me Again" and "Tunnel War". After watching a lot of movies on video tapes one after another, "Titanic" was in all at the time. When it was released in China, he finally got the opportunity to enter the cinema for the first time to watch a new movie released nationwide.

The shock on the big screen gave the young Hugo an unparalleled shock. It can be said that it directly refreshed his worldview and made him realize for the first time that there is such a magical one on the other side of the earth. world. Of course, the love between Jack and Ruth is even more earth-shattering, and that kind of love that breaks through life and death and breaks through the shackles of the world has opened a brand new door.

Just as "Titanic" swept the world by storm, Hugo also became one of the swept members. Later, he also treasured a set of "Titanic" genuine DVDs.

If Hugo were asked the same question just a few years ago, he would almost jump up and say excitedly, "I do, I do..." There is no need for any thought or hesitation at all, he Will make every effort to become one of them.

But now Hugo hesitated.

Is it because Hugo no longer attaches importance to the "Titanic"? Obviously not. In fact, Hugo still has an uncontrollable excitement when he thinks that he can be one of them. Even if the cold juice slides into his stomach, he can still feel the blazing flames in his chest.

Starring in "Titanic" has nothing to do with acting, and has nothing to do with the pay, this is just a beautiful dream of childhood.

So, what is different now? Hugo has grown up and matured. He knows that, many times, the real meaning of dreams lies not in realizing it, but in the process of chasing it.

Hugo once heard a boy named James Hooper (james.) tell his own story. This British boy named James Hooper is famous because he is among the human beings in the Guinness Book of Records. The youngest record holder for the summit of Mount Everest, he successfully summited the highest peak of the earth when he was only eighteen years old.

James said in an interview that when he reached the summit of Mount Everest, his joy was not as crazy as he imagined. After descending from Mount Everest, he was even more confused and depressed for a long time, even Once had depression: Because he felt that his dream had come true, it seemed that there was no other pursuit in life. Later, James completed the feat of moving from the South Pole to the North Pole without motivation. With the completion of his dreams one by one, he became more and more empty instead.

James then realized that realizing dreams is very important, indeed very important, but the process of sprinting towards dreams is even more important. He started preparing for the summit of Mount Everest at the age of thirteen. At first, his parents were firmly opposed, but he relied on his own small steps to convince his parents, and then went through the process of arduous search for sponsors. Finally completed this feat when he was eighteen years old. Compared to the moment when Everest climbed to the top, the happiest time was the nearly six years of running wildly before.

The same is true for Hugo. It is a dream to be a singer on the stage and an actor standing in front of the camera, but compared to the moment when the dream is realized, he has gone through the previous ten years of running wildly and after the unremitting efforts after crossing. This process is the most beautiful.

Hugo suddenly remembered his tireless pursuit of acting skills during the filming of "Death Row", which has exceeded the scope of his dreams and has become a new goal for him to continuously sharpen himself; the same is true for the glory to death music, when they are lost After being enterprising, losing their individuality and sharpness, this band ceased to exist.

Vaguely, Hugo seemed to have touched the cause of his music bottleneck, but it just flashed through in his mind and disappeared soon, which made Hugo a little confused... Maybe he still needs a while to slow down. Slow precipitation.

The same is true for "Titanic", Hugo now has a chance to appear, and as long as he nods, Hugo believes that it is difficult for Kevin to refuse, even if James Cameron does not like it. But after Hugo really plays, will things be as beautiful as imagined?

Hugo knows that it is difficult to estimate, because he knows that shooting a movie is not only weaving a dream, but also a huge team creation process, which requires the concerted efforts of everyone on the crew. From the very beginning, James didn’t like Hugo’s role as "Titanic". Although he didn’t know how he was persuaded by Kevin, he was only willing to come over and talk to Hugo today, but Hugo knew ~www.novelhall. com~ Even if he bowed his head to James, explained his meaning clearly, and expressed satisfaction with the script, James with a grudge would not easily cross this threshold. Hugo's "fame" is a thorn in James' heart, even Hugo is willing to converge all his personalities to obey James, and conflicts will erupt sooner or later. This is determined by personality.

The "Titanic" looks beautiful, but if you really are in it, maybe Hugo, the Hugo now, will ruin it.

Hugo clearly knows that his childhood dreams are many and many, but it is impossible for all of them to be realized. He hoped to star in "The Redemption of Shawshank" and failed; he hoped to star in "Mission: Impossible" but failed; he hoped to star in "The Redemption of Shawshank" "Guess the train", failed...Compared with these specific dreams, Hugo's current life itself is on the road toward the dream, "Titanic" is just another beautiful dream on this road.

It's not that the realization of dreams is not important or good, but that you have to know clearly that the way you are going is life itself, and dreams are only the end.

So, as Rick said, leaving James aside, does Hugo himself really want to play "Titanic"? Sitting on the sofa, letting the moonlight fall all over the floor, cold water drops slowly falling outside the glass in his hand. Time slowed down in this way, but Hugo hesitated.
