Superstar

After reading so many scripts, Hugo not only did not feel tired, on the contrary, he also felt more and more excited. This state made him very enjoyable, and at the same time, he was more looking forward to the scripts that he would see next.

Looking at the cover of the script in front of him, Hugo's eyes widened little by little, and the incredible light gleamed clearly in his eyes. Rick noticed the changes in Hugo and asked quite surprised, "Have you seen the original TV series? No, you were just born when this TV series was broadcast."

Hugo then came back to his senses, he paused, "Uh... yes, of course I have seen it," and then Hugo organized his own language, "You know, videotapes can always take us back to a long time. Era."

Of course Hugo never watched the TV series that aired from 1966 to 1973! But Hugo has seen this excellent movie before his eyes and was deeply impressed. This is definitely one of the works worth remembering among the countless series of movies in film history.

"Mission Impossible (: is also called "Mission Impossible" by many people. This series of works had four works before 2014. It is the most memorable work in Tom Cruise's career as an actor One, Ethan Hunt, this CIA agent is even compared to James Bond by many people.

This series of works is adapted from the TV series of the same name launched in the United States in 1966. It created the classic agent image of Ethan Hunt. After being put on the big screen by Paramount Pictures, it first landed on the big screen in 1996. , Won the good evaluation of film critics, and won a big win at the box office.

Then it was launched in 2000 by Chinese director Wu. Yu. The second film directed by Mori was released in 2006 by j. j. Abrams (j.j. abrams) filmed the third film, although word of mouth has fluctuated, but there is no doubt that it has made a big box office. This has also become Tom Cruise's most successful golden sign.

Since 2008, Tom’s career as an actor has fallen into a trough. In three years, only two works and one guest appearance have appeared, and the results have been very dismal. People think that Tom has passed away, and the box office superstar has now fallen. But "Mission Impossible 4" appeared in 2011 but it fought a beautiful turnaround for Tom, letting people once again appreciate Tom's box office appeal-or more accurately, Ethan Hunter's box office appeal.

"Mission Impossible" can be regarded as one of Hugo's commercial film enlightenment series, especially the first film where Eason sneaked into the CIA headquarters to steal intelligence, which has become a classic in film history.

Hugo really didn't expect that the "Mission Impossible" script actually came to his own hands, you know, he has always thought that this series is tailored for Tom. But now Hugo clearly realizes that the appearance of his little butterfly has quietly deviated many historical facts from the original track.

"So, this script is the new Paramount project you just mentioned?" Hugo suddenly remembered. Since it's not James Bond, then the only one who can make Paramount offer 20 million dollars in remuneration is " "Mission Impossible" is the most reliable.

A smile appeared on Rick’s face and he nodded slightly, "How? What do you think? This script is really good. It is intertwined and advanced in layers. It is an outstanding script that is rare to see in a commercial action movie. ."

Indeed, the first script of "Mission Impossible" is indeed commendable, and the wonderful storyline is no less than the exciting fights and stunts.

Hugo clicked his chin, but he was thinking: Tom's salary level is basically 15 million at this time, but Paramount is willing to pay him 20 million. No wonder "Mission Impossible." The script will appear in his hands first.

You know, Tom and Paramount have always had a very close relationship. After the success of "Mission: Impossible", Tom even signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Paramount. Many of Tom's works were produced and distributed by Paramount. It is not easy to get Paramount to pass Tom and put Hugo in the primary position of cooperation.

So, does Hugo really want to take this series of works? Do you really want to replace Tom as the new Ethan Hunt?

Objectively speaking, the "Mission Impossible" series does not have any test of acting skills. This is a purely commercial blockbuster, which is the same series as "Life and Death", which means that after the performance may be played, it will be around in the next 20 years. Performing the same role four times-of course, provided that the Hugo version of Ethan Hunt can also get a box office victory, which is actually quite non-challenging for the performance.

However, it cannot be denied that this series of works is a huge success. Although the third part of the series has been criticized a lot and the box office and word-of-mouth are at a low level, the four works of the whole series still maintain a good standard, which is a typical representative of commercial action movies. If you take this series, first of all, there will be no disputes about the pay, and secondly, the situation of Rick and Endeavour Elite Brokerage will be greatly improved.

Subjectively speaking, Hugo wants to star in this work. When I watched this work in the movie theater, he was always excited. Compared with the "Transformers" series, Hugo still prefers the "Mission Impossible" series. This challenge of wisdom and physical strength makes every man yearn for. Heroes are clichés, but everyone has their own dreams of heroes in their hearts. This is one of the reasons why the "Mission Impossible" series can be successful, and also one of the reasons why the film series adapted from Marvel comics can be successful.

Hugo didn't choose James Bond at the beginning. One was that he was not suitable, and the other was that he was too close to the "speed of life and death". Now, Ethan Hunt is obviously more civilian and grassroots, and the timing is more appropriate. It is indeed a more reliable choice.

But on the other hand, Hugo and Tom are friends. Although they are not close friends, they are indeed friends. Tom also repeatedly expressed kindness to Hugo. If Tom’s series is "stolen", Hugo knows exactly what will happen, which makes him very hesitant.

The period between 2004 and 2005 was very difficult for Tom. The new generation of actors robbed the class for the right, his own box office appeal declined, and his play was even more difficult. Many works before and after were not satisfactory. After Tom and Steven Spielberg's "World War (war. of the. failed to achieve the expected results, his career fell into a standstill.

Under such circumstances, "Mission Impossible 3" became his life-saving straw; and then in 2011, it was the same, "Mission Impossible 4" saved his career. Before 2014, it was a cycle again. Tom in the trough was like a trapped beast in the mud, struggling hard, trying to open a new path, and the "Mission Impossible 5" that was in production became once again. The last bargaining chip. Unfortunately, Hugo does not know whether "Mission Impossible 5" has once again completed Tom's self-salvation.

Strictly speaking, after 2004, Tom’s career has actually entered a bottleneck, and every time he gets out of trouble is the "Mission Impossible" series, so people will make this series one of Tom's absolute masterpieces.

If the starring role of "Mission Impossible" is no longer Tom, but Hugo, what will happen to Tom's career as an actor? This is a difficult question with no answer. No one will know what the butterfly effect will produce until the result is out.

Hugo is neither God nor Jesus. He will not always think about sacrificing the ego and saving others, otherwise Hugo would not have taken so many works before. The role of "Yihai Xiongfeng" was snatched by Hugo from Tom. But the problem is that Hugo didn't know Tom before, and now Tom is Hugo's friend, which makes Hugo very conflicted.

Hugo's brain has countless chaotic thoughts. Rick is also watching Hugo nervously at this time. Of course, he hopes that Hugo can take "Mission Impossible", but he also understands that this work is actually related to "life and death." "Speed" does not make much difference. But the problem is that the "speed of life and death" has set a very high standard. If you choose works of the same type, the media will inevitably compare them, then new works will inevitably face more pressure and it will be more difficult to create good results. . If the performance of the new work is not as expected, or is not as fast as the "speed of life and death", it is likely to be the beginning of a crash. Commercial movies have always been double-edged swords.

As an agent, Rick naturally understands this, so he is actually very nervous. Hugo rejected James Bond before. What about Ethan Hunt?

Rick turned his head to look at Joseph, but Joseph shrugged and smiled at Rick, beckoning him not to worry. Hugo is a very frank person. If he has an idea that needs to be discussed, he will definitely say it. But Joseph still said, "It seems that Hugo is very interested in this script..."

Indeed, Hugo has been holding the "Mission Impossible" script for at least three minutes. If he was not interested, he would have put it on the left.

Hearing Joseph's words, Hugo let out a sigh of relief. He finally put the script in the pending position of his right hand.

Hugo realized that this was actually only the first round of screening, and there must be detailed negotiations afterwards~www.readwn.com~ Not only the self-will of the film company and the actors need to be measured, but also the shooting schedule, contract conditions, etc. Many details need to be negotiated. Taking ten thousand steps back, Hugo still needs to read the script carefully, just like the script of "Men in Black", the first draft is so bad, this is really a huge deviation from Hugo's memory.

At least, Hugo is currently interested in the "Mission Impossible" script, so why not let it go? If he can become one of the most famous agents in film history, maybe he and Tom will become rivals, and then it will be very interesting to see what choice Paramount Pictures will make.

Seeing Hugo's actions, the smile on Rick's face suddenly sketched out. At least from today's Hugo's choice, Rick is still very satisfied, because it shows that Hugo also understands the current situation in Hollywood. Yes, so Hugo made some adjustments within his own preferences. This is a good thing for Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

Hugo noticed Rick’s expression and couldn’t help but smile. He could see that his actions really made Rick worried enough, and couldn’t help but relax the atmosphere, “This is just my first round of choice, and it’s not a cooperation. Agreement. Maybe I am willing, but other film companies can find a more suitable partner for cooperation?"

Rick laughed, "I believe in your charm and my abilities."
