Happy time always passes quickly. Hugo stayed with Cameron in New York all day, and then worked with Cameron for a day on the crew. Obviously, with Hugo, it was really difficult for Cameron to concentrate. Then, in order not to affect Cameron's follow-up work, Hugo left New York and returned to Los Angeles.

After arriving home, Hugo called Rick and told about the encounter with Kevin Pence on the set that day. "Did I think too much, or did the 20th Century Fox have made some big moves recently?"

Since the completion of the "Death Guard Walk", Rick and Henry reached a consensus that this period of time would allow Hugo to completely relax and rest, so almost none of them, including Joseph and Samora, talked about anything about work with Hugo, but just occasionally sent a script for Hugo to see.

"Haha, it's not that you think too much. It's definitely not that easy for the big guys of these large film production companies to make friends." Rick was not surprised at Hugo's words at all. "Kevin will meet you on the crew of 'Love is the only'. It's not a deliberate arrangement, but it's definitely not a complete coincidence." As one of the helmsmen of the Endeavor Elite Agency, Rick's vision and methods are naturally not an ordinary person. "I had been guessing when Kevin would really take action. Until now, I can see his patience. It seems that he is confident this time."

Rick sighed a few words there, and Hugo was confused. The main reason was that Hugo knew nothing about the recent situation, so he had no way to judge. After sighing, Rick explained, "In the past few months, the cooperation between Twentieth Century Fox and our company can be said to be very close. It can be seen that Kevin has attached enough importance to the artists under our company. I mean, packaged cooperation projects like innovative artist brokerage companies."

"I forgot to tell you that the North American distribution rights of 'Deathly Story' were won by 20th Century Fox." Rick added immediately, and immediately made Hugo understand. "Steven and Kevin intend to start a long-term cooperation. All the works produced by DreamWorks in the next two years were released by 20th Century Fox. However, both parties are in the temptation stage, let's take a look at 'Deathly Story' first."

After the mysterious veil was unveiled, the tip of the iceberg was revealed in front of Hugo. Hugo had mentioned the issue rights to Steven before, but now DreamWorks is still in the early stage of accumulating energy, and the issue problem is not significant. But even so, Steven still began to think about long-term problems.

It now seems that the cooperation between Twentieth Century Fox and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company and DreamWorks is not that simple.

"However, the movie's video distribution rights and overseas distribution rights are still being contested." Rick's words made Hugo laugh directly, "Are you kidding?"

But Rick shook his head, "No, I'm not kidding." Hugo was completely stunned. A literary and artistic work like "Death Prisoner Walking" clearly has no box office motivation. The film company is actually competing for the distribution rights of such a work? And from Rick's tone, it seems that 20th Century Fox won the North American distribution rights after a competition. The world is changing too fast, and Hugo can't keep up with the speed.

But Hugo has forgotten that the attention of "Death Inmate Walking" has been broken in recent months. It is almost impossible to make a profit by investing only $11 million in "Death Inmate Walking" to achieve profits.

"Columbia Pictures and Paramount are competing, and of course, Twentieth Century Fox will not give up." Rick didn't say much, but simply revealed a few words.

But just these few words, Hugo can feel that the two new Hollywood players, DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Agency, are gradually increasing their competitiveness. "Rick, you should know that for production companies, distribution ability is the key to determining the outcome. Just like a big company like Twentieth Century Fox, they may only produce ten movies a year, but they may release twice or three times as many movies. This is the real right to speak."

"Of course I know this, but why are you saying this?" Rick couldn't help but frown. He obviously didn't understand Hugo's words. The issuance rights and the agency had no relationship with the brokerage company.

"I mean, maybe, DreamWorks should pay attention to this." Hugo knew that the cooperation between DreamWorks and Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company is increasing, and the future strong rise of Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company is definitely indispensable for DreamWorks' success and glory. History has changed. As one of them, he is working hard to contribute his strength. Since Michael Jackson can cleanse his innocence fifteen years ahead of schedule, why can't DreamWorks' fate change?

"The cooperative relationship between DreamWorks and us is getting closer and closer, and you know more about the relationship between actors and film companies than me." Hugo's words silently made Rick think about it carefully.

As an actor and singer, Hugo's talent is unquestionable, but Hugo also knows that his overall view is lacking, and that it is not convincing enough in company management and blueprint planning. Just like before "before sunrise" convinced David Geffen to invest, Hugo had a very weak persuasive power when he filed a issuance right with Steven Spielberg. This is Hugo's weakness.

But Hugo knows the future industry trends and development trends, so he hopes to rely on his strong friendship with Rick. After persuading Rick, Rick will complete the subsequent promotion.

Rick knows Hugo. Although he lacks the overall view, his sensitivity to details and development trends is far beyond ordinary people. Hugo is definitely not aimless. "Hugo, I think I know what you mean, but I need to clarify my ideas." Hugo's words seemed to touch a little bit of the idea in Rick's mind. He felt that this might become another turning point in the company's development, but he couldn't sort it out for a while. He needed some time, "But what I can be sure is that 20th Century Fox really hopes to cooperate with you."

Rick brought the topic back again, and Hugo also diverted his attention, "Did they submit the script to you?"

"That's how clever they are. Recently, the scripts submitted by other companies have almost overwhelmed me, but they have not submitted a single script to...uh, to be precise, it is to you." Rick couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, "They have many scripts they have given me so far, including those for Alex, those for Charlize, those for Leo, those for Tom, but... they don't have yours."

"Hmm..." Without Rick's further explanation, Hugo also noticed the abnormality. It was obviously not because Twentieth Century Fox did not want to cooperate with Hugo, but because Twentieth Century Fox was orderly advancing its plan.

"Didn't you tell me before that they have several major projects being produced? I have investigated it in multiple ways. What I can be sure is that there is indeed a major project, but the progress of this project is not fast. The news I heard was that there were some problems with the investment funds, but I don't believe it. On the contrary, the rumors said that there were some problems with the script, mainly because the story of "Future Water World" completely collapsed. Now the big production projects seem to be more cautious, which I think is more credible."

Rick summed up the situation in just a few words, "The most likely thing is that Kevin hopes you will star in this project, but... who knows? Anyway, we are the one who takes the initiative, so we just wait for them to come to the door." Rick seemed very relaxed, which was Rick's confidence.

Rick believes that as long as Hugo says he intends to take on a new film, the script will fly like snowflakes, and Hugo doesn't have to worry about the next work at all. The initiative is in his hands from beginning to end, or to be more precise, in Hugo's hands.

"Big Project..." Hugo pointed his chin slightly. In fact, after the "Future Water World" failed, major film companies were relatively cautious in their investments. Investment projects of about $100 million were suddenly in a deadlock. The more famous ones were "Twister", "Man in Black", "Air Force One", "Jurassic Park 2", "Titanic", etc., and you can count them with one hand.

Could it be that the project that Twentieth Century Fox is talking about is the "Titanic"?

But Hugo immediately denied this idea because "Titanic" is James Cameron's project, and he is one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood today. Although this project encountered many difficulties in the preparation process, including financial obstacles, if it was really this project, Kevin would never be able to hide it so much, and James would not have no news at all.

But Hugo just guessed it and didn't think deeply. As Rick said, they just waited for the 20th Century Fox to make a move.

"You don't have to worry about the selection of the next work. If there is a good work, I will send the script." Rick can guess from Hugo's actions today. Although Hugo did not say that he could work again, it was at least not rejected. "By the way, I received an interesting call yesterday, "Friends" of NBC TV. You know, the current ratings competitors of 'Happy Family', they called you to invite you to objectively view the series."

"What? They really called you?" Hugo was very surprised. Although Jennifer sent invitations twice, Hugo actually didn't take it seriously. But now it seems that this is not just a joke between friends.

"So, do you know this?" Rick said in surprise.

"Yes, Jennifer Aniston and I are friends, and she asked me about this before." Hugo simply replied, and Rick immediately reacted. Jennifer and Cameron were working together to "Love is the only one".

Rick touched his chin, thinking while speaking, "So, what do you think? Are you willing to make guest appearances in TV series?"
