Chapter 443

　 "Would you like to shave your head for a movie?" Quentin was surprised by this, although he was actually more inclined to let Hugo comb his hair.

Imagine a retro gentleman and handsome handsome guy who gracefully completes the task of the underworld. The absurd effect known by this sense of conflict makes Quentin a little impatient. Similar to this contradiction, "Pulp Fiction" is everywhere. For example, Vincent's partner Jules reads the Bible every time he kills. This is such a contradictory detail, so Hugo said It was in the middle of Quentin's arms. However, Quentin is still very curious. Hugo is willing to destroy himself for a movie, which is too rare.

Hugo shrugged, "If I take this script..." As an actor, his image on the big screen must serve the movie. The external things are actually part of the performance. Hugo can There is no such a must-have idol baggage-at least not now, and hopefully it will not appear in the future.

Quentin realized that at this time, Hugo has not yet agreed to star in "Pulp Fiction". So Quentin asked quickly, "Then what do you think of this story? Would you like to play it?"

Hugo raised his head and looked at Quentin's longing eyes, and couldn't help but laugh again. Every time I talk with Quentin, I have this feeling: his enthusiasm for the film is really admirable, and the enthusiasm of putting all his heart into the film makes people full of positive thoughts.

Quentin's sincere and sincere expression reminded Hugo of a behind-the-scenes "trivial" of "Pulp Fiction": Uma Thurman originally refused to appear in this movie, and John Travolta was also very much. Hesitated, but in the end they were all persuaded by Quentin's enthusiasm, which created the classic "Pulp Fiction".

Uma...Hugo actually forgot that Uma is the 'female' protagonist of "Pulp Fiction", or instead of forgetting, but not remembering. Hugo originally thought it was a very far, far away memory, but now looking back, it was actually at the beginning of this year, and there was an'exchange' in June due to hype. Time is fundamental I didn't live as fast as I thought.

If Hugo takes over the script of "Pulp Fiction" and Uma also plays the role according to the historical trajectory, then they will cooperate on the big screen for the first time? Hugo's first thought was that if he and Uma greet Uma when they meet on set, will they get a response?

In Hollywood, there are countless cases where enemies meet with extreme jealousy. There have been cases where big-name actors have explicitly refused to cooperate with each other, which led to the other party being expelled from the crew. There have also been cases where top actors have put pressure on the crew to change actors. The purpose, of course, there have also been cases where the two sides facing each other successfully completed the cooperation in the crew...

Hugo is not yet considered a top big name. Even if he is, he never thought of using his own power to change actors. He doesn't think he has the right to deprive another actor of his qualifications. Don't say that this actor passed People who work hard to win the role, even if the actor is based on unspoken rules, even if the actor is his own enemy, he will not do so.

Therefore, although Quentin has been begging Hugo to star in "Pulp Fiction", if Hugo proposes that he does not want Uma to appear, he will come up with a high-sounding "I don't want the hype between the two people to make a lot of noise." The reason, Quentin is very likely to agree. But Hugo was unwilling to do this. He would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite. There is no need to 'make' these little actions behind his back.

In Hollywood, cooperating with strangers of various forms and forms is the basic form of work, so meeting someone who is not in harmony with one's aura is simply commonplace, and it is not uncommon to meet someone who has a holiday with oneself. If you are picky about the other party every time and are unwilling to cooperate, then many tasks will not be able to proceed, and it is very likely that you will end up with no job at all in the future. This is true even for big-name actors. For the first time, the actor can play big names to achieve his goals, but what about the second or third time? Even if it succeeded every time, this is not something worth showing off.

This is not only in Hollywood, but also in life. Everyone has someone they hate, but it's not always possible to turn around arbitrarily. Life won't go well. Therefore, it is better to face it calmly than to escape.

How to deal with the work relationship with the person you hate is the only way in any workplace. Don't bring your own personal emotions into the workplace. Personal emotions are one thing, and work is another thing. It is a professional attitude. Every crew is a workplace. Therefore, Hugo's first thought was not to avoid the problem, but how he should get along with Uma if he took over the script.

The idea is very easy and easy, but Hugo knows that it is not so easy in practice. Since the Golden Globes breakup, the two people have not had any'friendship' except for the phone call from the Seattle crew. Set it up, if you want to cooperate, this is not that simple.

But... Uma is not an issue that Hugo needs to consider right now, because he has not yet accepted the script of "Pulp Fiction".

Hugo pressed down the chaotic thoughts in his mind, cast his gaze on the script on the left hand side, then raised his head to look at Quentin, and said with a smile, "You haven't answered my first question. "If the schedule permits, Hugo still hopes to appear in the movie "Pulp Fiction". His inner desire is much stronger than that of the previous "Shawshank's Redemption", but I don't know if it's because he likes the script more, or Because nearly three months have passed, the negative influence of A'mon Goss has basically disappeared, or both.

Quentin knew that what Hugo was talking about was the issue of remuneration, and the things that should be faced sooner or later will come. Remuneration is an issue that actors cannot avoid when participating in the performance. Quentin took a deep breath, "Three hundred thousand dollars."

Quentin looked at the Hugo'Lu' in front of him with a surprised expression, which made Quentin's heart tremble. In fact, he also knew that the price was really too low and too low, even more than Hugo starred in "Scent of Scent" Female'human' is even lower, and Hugo in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Female" is a supporting role, and the role of Hugo in "Pulp Fiction" is the protagonist. The $300,000 salary is really not worth it. Mention.

But Quentin has nothing to do. He only has a budget of 8 million US dollars. He can only pay Hugo this kind of remuneration at most, even if he knows that this remuneration is when Hugo was in "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Sleepless in Seattle" period. One-tenth of the pay, and now Hugo is not in the period after the Golden Raspberry Awards, and he is not Steven Spielberg who can make Hugo play "Sinder" for a million dollars. Le's list", but Quentin gritted his teeth and said his plan.

Harvey Weinstein said: The boundary of eight million dollars is very important for Hugo now, three hundred thousand dollars? Even if this script reproduces 'color', it will be difficult to impress Hugo, because if this opportunity is missed, perhaps Hugo will sink forever. Is "Pulp Fiction" worthy of Hugo's bet on his 11-year career as an actor? Harvey has no hope, Quentin hopes to make the last fight.

Hugo is really surprised. The experience of the past two years has given Hugo a certain degree of understanding of the operation of Hollywood. Aside from the soaring salary of Hugo after "Night Sleep in Seattle", even if it only takes "Yihai Xiongfeng" "For the three million US dollars paid for "Sleepless in Seattle", this is Hugo's normal level. Even after the fiasco of the three works before and after, even after the embarrassment of the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo still has it. The level of three million dollars. But now, Quentin has come up with a salary level of only one-tenth, and invited Hugo to star in a movie, which is really surprising.

But from a personal point of view, Hugo can understand it. First, "Pulp Fiction" only costs 8 million U.S. dollars, and the actor's remuneration is bound to be impossible. Hugo estimates that even the 300,000 U.S. dollar remuneration is probably the price Quentin gnashed his teeth.

Second, his ideas Harvey, Quentin, and Joseph are incomprehensible, but in fact he is not at all worried that his salary will fall after falling, because "Pulp Fiction" is definitely worth the money. A script, if Hugo remembers it correctly, the global box office of this movie is more than 200 million U.S. dollars.

Third, Hugo was overjoyed when he faced the 500,000 rewards of "scenting and knowing'women'", and now the dividends of "Sleepless in Seattle" make Hugo no financial troubles in a short period of time. The $300,000 film remuneration will naturally not be a problem.

Quentin looked at Hugo, but didn't wait for him to speak, and then said, "There is still 15% of the global box office dividend." In fact, the so-called box office dividend is for the actors to share. Box office pressure; but for independent films such as "Pulp Fiction", it is actually a small hope for the actors, which is counted as compensation for low pay. In other words, it is to beg the actors to pay dividends as payment. The actors have to take great risks, because independent films are often difficult to achieve good box office results, and the hope is very slim.

Therefore, after Quentin said this sentence, he did not have any confidence. He really felt that he had too little chips in his hand. It is almost impossible for Hugo, who is now on his career to go uphill, to agree.

But the miracle happened like this~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hugo pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "I sounds like a good proposal. We can talk about the details." This sentence made Quentin's mind. The cheeks suddenly stiffened, and then he showed a look of ecstasy, and the eyebrows began to dance directly.

Hugo also chuckled and continued, "But there are two problems," Quentin's joy stopped immediately, "You must first contact my agent to confirm my schedule, because I don't know the album promotion. , How to arrange the itinerary of the movie promotion. If there is a conflict in the itinerary, it is estimated that cooperation will be more difficult."

Quentin didn't mind at all, and nodded vigorously in affirmation. Hugo smiled, and then said, "The other thing is, I have to read the script."

"Yes, script, yes! This is the most important thing, yes, the script!" Quentin's joy between her eyebrows was completely released. He knew that as long as Hugo was willing to read the script, things would be half done. , And for the remaining half, he will try to persuade Hugo to nod!

A miracle really happened!
