Superstar

Chapter 1196: Power struggle

Seeing Hugo coming over, Gianni's whole person was refreshed, completely looking like an enemy. In fact, all the other people in the entire crew together are not as valuable as a Hugo now. Except for Morgan Freeman who can also sell old in front of Hugo, the other actors, whether they are seniority or strength, including current popularity , The degree of importance, and the degree of influence on the media and audience, are not as good as a Hugo.

Although the news media has been hyping the showdown between Brad and Hugo, everyone in the circle knows that Brad has no ability to compete head-on with Hugo at this time, just like the Hugo of "Yihai Xiongfeng". Nor is it qualified to challenge Tom Cruise.

Gianni can be perfunctory to Brad, David and Andrew, but he cannot be perfunctory to Hugo, not only can't, but also to deal with it actively, otherwise no one knows what will happen.

"Hugo, this is the case, listen to me to explain." Gianni slowed down and explained solemnly, trying to ease Hugo's anger.

Hugo nodded and said calmly, "I'm listening." But his frowning eyebrows could clearly feel his seriousness and seriousness now.

Gianni couldn’t help but was a little confused, but he was secretly cursing. The group of people in the company knew it was a thankless job, so they threw it to him. A dozen producers unanimously passed the plan but let him bear the rain alone. Guo's anger. But Gianni can’t show anything on the surface. He can only say, “Hugo, we are only in the discussion stage at the moment. You know, we have all kinds of ideas, and the ultimate goal is to make the movie more Wonderful, but nothing is finalized at the moment, everything is still being discussed, still being discussed..."

Gianni was doing Tai Chi right here, without saying any substantive content. He knew that Hugo had to calm down first.

Brad, who was standing on the side, put his hands on his chest and sneered. Although Giani's attitude was not obvious, anyone with a discerning eye could feel the difference in details. Just now, Giani was obviously tougher, and there were many in his tone of voice. He said that this will be a topic of discussion between the producer, the director and the screenwriter, and even hinted that the producer has made up his mind to revise the ending; but now facing Hugo, such an actor, Gianni is beginning to be polite.

Andrew stood aside with an obscure expression. Although he is a screenwriter, in fact, he is definitely the weakest link in the entire production cast, and he has almost no right to speak. David, who is still in a defensive posture, made it clear that he was unwilling to compromise. At this time, his face was even more hostile. The tragedy of "Alien 3" is still vivid, and now the "Seven Deadly Sins" are also facing such a danger. He is really very embarrassed. It's hard to settle the mentality.

Hugo is not a fool. He rolled around in Hollywood for all these years. Most of these polite remarks came from his left ear to his right ear. After making sure that Gianni had finished explaining and was waiting for his own reaction, Hugo said, "Modify In the end, whose idea is this?"

In the middle of the red heart. Gianni's heart trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth. The phrase "this is the idea of ​​the production team" couldn't be said. Hugo gave Gianni time to react, but did not wait for any answer, so he went on to say, " What kind of ending do you want to revise? No, I don’t need the answer to this question. Please tell me, have you really read the script carefully before discussing revising the ending?"

Hugo is always suppressing his anger, and his tone of voice is very polite, maintaining respect for Gianni, but it is precisely this kind of anger hidden under the calm that makes people shudder, as if... as if seeing an anonymous person. . Gianni didn't even dare to look directly at Hugo's amber eyes, lest he linger in his mind, and he would be full of nightmares at night.

Gianni tilted his head slightly, looked at Joseph standing behind from Hugo's left, and quickly explained, "Of course, of course, we studied the script carefully..."

But Hugo did not give Gianni a chance to explain this time, "If you really read the script, you won't want to modify the script! If you read the script carefully, you will know the meaning of this ending to the whole story! If you study the script carefully, you will understand that the whole story is layered to the end and this result is inevitable! If you are willing to read the script carefully, you will not simply attribute this story to a vulgar and boring hero. In the story of doctrine!"

Hugo’s continuous questioning is not sharp, and his speech is always slow, but his momentum is increasing bit by bit, and the sense of oppression is coming bit by bit. The anger hidden behind the calm words is almost unstoppable. . Hugo at this moment is like an Anonymous, completely Anonymous. The calmness on the surface can't conceal the hostility in his eyes, and the anger in the words is even more powerful than a sword.

Hollywood's interests are supreme, Hugo does not reject it, because he knows that this is the status quo of society, this is the true nature of businessmen, and that interest is the foundation for maintaining the continuous operation of the entire industrial system. Without interest, there is no art. But to seek benefits, you must have accurate ideas. If you just blindly pursue benefits, maybe the end is nothing but nothing left.

Modifying the ending of the "seven deadly sins" is like this. Not only will it not increase the benefits of the movie, but it will ruin everything, and it will end up with no money.

Therefore, Hugo is angry with those stupid and ignorant producers, and angry at their stupidity and stubbornness who desire more benefits but don't know the right way! It's like Wuming's anger at this dark and terrible society.

Gianni could clearly feel that Hugo's sharp eyes shrouded him like an eagle locked on its prey. Even if he staggered his sight, he could feel the ubiquity of the eyes, which made him suffer, but Gianni did. Knowing that he can't back down, he must be tough. This is not just a problem of his own face, but also a problem involving the initiative between the producer team and the crew. He has no retreat.

"Hugo, if you have an opinion, you can discuss with us, we all hope to make a great work." Gianni tried to look into Hugo's eyes and speak, but those amber eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss. , Made him feel fear, Ben. Fear of being able, he could only turn his head in embarrassment to look at David, Andrew and others standing next to him, in order to cover up his emotional fluctuations, "We are investors, and we don’t want to destroy this. Of this movie, believe me, we hope this movie will succeed more than anyone!"

Speaking of this, Gianni's confidence finally recovered, and his momentum was revived, "If the work fails, we will lose the money. After you take the pay, we will be fine, but we have to bear the consequences." I took a peek at Hugo. Fortunately, Hugo did not interrupt him this time, because Hugo also paid dividends in the "Seven Deadly Sins". Although the salary of 10 million US dollars is too high for the supporting role, it is the first in the crew. The film remuneration, but the new line film company clearly knows that there is no way to invite Hugo to star at this price, so they still gave Hugo box office dividends. "So, any of our decisions are not hasty, they are all based on the movie as a starting point for consideration."

"So, how do you really want to modify the ending of the movie?" After seeing Gianni's righteous utterances of useless excuses, Hugo's sentence returned to the subject again.

The staff onlookers on the scene couldn't help but take a breath.

In fact, the confrontation between Hugo and Gianni can be regarded as a confrontation between the staff and the producer, that is, the confrontation between the hired and the hired. Generally speaking, the hired has no right to speak. The producers are almost the only one in the Hollywood environment. They have the power of life and death of the entire crew, and no one can challenge their authority.

Therefore, when Gianni said that he wanted to change the ending of the script, David, Andrew, Brad and others were very angry and wanted to confront. Brad even said threatening words without a word, but they were unable to change Gianni's face. Because they are not qualified, their resistance will eventually be suppressed. Just look at the reaction of Brad's assistant. If Brad persists, I believe Martin Baum will come to the crew this afternoon.

But there are exceptions to any situation. Top figures like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger are qualified to shake the producer’s decision. And ability. This is the so-called Hollywood power list.

Now, Hugo can also be regarded as one of them~www.readwn.com~ He has the ability to influence the film company and the production team, and he also has the ability to change the pattern of the crew.

Facing Hugo’s questioning, Gianni was a little discouraged, but there was no way to refute it. He finally got the topic away, and now Hugo has returned to the original point with a single sentence, Gianni can only cheer up, once again Explained, "Hugo, we are still discussing. We are thinking that we will either let Samosa stop Mills and pass the law to bring justice; or let Mills and the unknown, end in tragedy." Gianni was still caught. Forced to tell the specific content, after finishing speaking, he quickly added, "Of course, if you have an idea, you can put it forward and we will discuss it. And David and Andrew, you are all like this."

Gianni tried to ease the contradiction, drag the matter down first, and then seek the end.

Hugo shook his head, "You didn't understand this story. This is really a tragedy." Hugo looked at Gianni and said in a slightly excited tone, "The reason why the'Seven Deadly Sins' is outstanding is because of this ending. If you To change this ending is not only to ruin the story, but also to ruin the entire movie and the entire project. In this case, I would rather quit than see this tragedy."

Hugo's words were spoken lightly, but they were as heavy as a thousand catties and exploded with shocking energy, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.
