Superstar

Hugo was angry.

He has never liked hype, because after experiencing Uma, he discovered that everything seems to be hype in Hollywood, even love, family, friendship can be a bargaining chip for hype, everything is just for the benefit of being famous , This way makes him feel uncomfortable. He was not sure, when even the most sincere emotions in a person's heart become a bargaining chip for the exchange of benefits, what is left of this person?

But he also knows that this is Hollywood's industry rules, and no one can resist. No matter if it is rebuttal, confrontation, silence, evasion, acceptance or cooperation, they cannot escape the scope of hype. As long as the media deliberately hype, any action can interpret different meanings.

Therefore, he knows that since this is a rule, he must learn to use it. For example, last year's "007" series audition party, although he knew it was a hype, he still attended that party in order to forge ahead with the elite brokerage company.

But this time, it is clear that the hype has lost control, making everything taste different.

Hugo knows very well that the hype this time must be fueled by Paramount, otherwise it is impossible for so much internal information to leak out so easily.

Paramount’s idea is simple. They need to focus more on "Mission Impossible". The competition between the two top actors, Tom Cruise and Hugo Lancaster, is definitely the hottest topic. Enough to attract countless lights. And once the 20 million yuan they gave Hugo is achieved, this will be the first to break the ground!

In the end, whether it is Tom or Hugo signing, or even an unknown candidate halfway through the win, Paramount can remain invincible. If it is Tom or Hugo, everyone will pay attention to the performance of the winner in "Mission Impossible"; if it is an unknown candidate, everyone will be curious about "who defeated the two most popular actors today".

With the help of these momentum, "Mission Impossible" is enough to become the biggest hot spot before filming starts.

It can be said that Paramount has made a good calculation. It is estimated that Shirley Lansing is indispensable behind the scenes. This new head of Paramount can definitely be called a conspiracy. Don't forget, the first revelation started from Shirley.

It's just that Paramount didn't seem to estimate that the matter would develop to this point. The reporter actually began to fabricate the news that Hugo and Tom attacked each other, which made the matter gradually develop in the direction of the scandal. Or in other words, Paramount estimated this situation, but they didn't care, because even if Hugo and Tom attacked each other, there is not much direct relationship with Paramount. If things really get out of hand, they can absolutely not sign contracts with these two people and look for new replacements.

For example, Brad Pitt.

The “Daily News” broke the news again that the newly emerged Brad entered Paramount’s sight and became a candidate for “Mission Impossible”. Shirley personally met Martin Baum and Brad Pitt and had dinner together. .

This suddenly made the direction of this news interesting.

Hugo doesn't like this situation, because it makes him feel like a commodity on the shelf, let you choose and judge, rather than a person. Although Hollywood is a circle where interests are paramount, and movies are a kind of commodities, the process of packaging actors is essentially similar to selling commodities; however, they are people, not real commodities. This is the most important point. .

Naturally, when the reporter was interviewing Hugo, he was so cynic and speechless. More than 20 reporters were surrounded by Hugo and he was speechless. "I've heard of news. The source is called a'secret informant', but I have never known that there is a news source called'rumor' or'heard'." Hugo is ridiculing the fact that these media are too lazy to find a good reason for covering up," The Houston Chronicle "The report started like this: "I heard..."

As a national newspaper, such news reports are simply a shame. Although so-called "secret informants" or "reliable news sources" are equally unreliable, there is at least a fig leaf. But now even this fig leaf is gone, which is really a shame to the media.

"Or, do you want to hear some evidence from me?" Hugo asked back, with a gentle and kind smile on his lips, as if answering a simple question like "What are you going to have for lunch today?" .

But more than 20 reporters looked at the smile on Hugo's face, but they were stunned that no one could open his mouth. In fact, they all know that Hugo’s meaning couldn’t be clearer: he has never said those words, those fictitious words, and he does not bother to respond. Those media that do not have any evidence to speak nonsense are not worthy of his solemnity. Respond appropriately.

So, who else would dare to ask questions? Whoever speaks seems to be tantamount to admitting that he has no brains.

As a result, the reporters looked away from Hugo's calm smiles one by one, and they were all stunned by the full stomach. Hidden in the crowd, Anthony Bond Stewart stared at Hugo motionlessly. He gritted his teeth and never dodged. He knew that he couldn't be afraid of Hugo going down forever. Not only could he not be afraid, but he should also drum up again. Take the courage to fight Hugo!

Hugo's eyes collided with Anthony, but Hugo didn't have any special expressions. When the anger reached a point, he completely calmed down. Hugo knows that being angry with these people is just his own internal injury, they will only be happier. Therefore, Hugo pursed his lips slightly, drawn a curve at the corner of his mouth, chuckled lightly, and then looked away, as if Anthony was not worth mentioning.

Anthony clearly saw disdain and ridicule in Hugo's smile, which made him clenched his teeth fiercely, and his fists began to tremble slightly because of too much force.

Hugo's cold treatment made the reporters feel that there was no disturbance at all, and Tom was interviewed by reporters for the first time.

Tom’s image in Hollywood has always been positive. In his long career as an actor, the only public gaffe in front of the public was when he jumped on the sofa on the Oprah talk show, danced and celebrated that he and Katie were about to enter the palace of marriage. . But this time the gaffe was reduced to a laughing stock, and it was the only time.

In the face of such negative news, Tom was always able to deal with it gracefully and calmly. He rightly condemned the media for fabricating these news out of thin air. This is an irresponsible and disrespectful act of the media. The "Houston Chronicle" is a The fact that the national newspapers made false reports without any evidence can be called a moment of shame.

Later, Tom reiterated his friendship with Hugo with a smile on his face, "Although we are not soulmates, nor are we friends of the Brotherhood, we are indeed friends, good friends, and we are very happy every time we meet, Ni But not long ago, I was planning to host a gathering of friends, and Hugo was one of our guests."

Obviously, in the face of the reporter's frantic bombardment, Tom handled it calmly, demonstrating his sophistication and calmness that he has accumulated over the years.

Although Hugo and Tom both denied the news at the first time and minimized the negative impact as much as possible, due to the wrong judgment of the "Houston Chronicle", the matter still caused a lot of turbulence. The most direct result is that the "Houston Chronicle", under the pressure of strong public opinion, apologized for its irresponsibility in reporting without verifying the news facts. At the same time, it was under the accusation of other national newspapers, and it almost became a target-a substitute. The "National Inquirer" took most of the damage.

Moreover, the casting competition for "Mission Impossible" has become more fierce, and Hugo fans and Tom's fans are almost no match. In the era of the lack of the Internet, the struggles between movie fans often don’t look lively. Without the scolding of thousands of naval forces on the Internet, the scene looks naturally deserted; but it’s more direct. Paramount’s work in New York and Los Angeles In front of the branch building, there were all parades. Movie fans were willing to make their idols more suitable for "Mission Impossible."

This also makes the entire casting process more dramatic.

Hugo originally wanted to play "Mission Impossible", but now it looks like a farce. His expectations for "Mission Impossible" are gradually decreasing, especially Paramount's malicious hype makes Yu Yu Guo was so dissatisfied that he even complained to Rick, which made Rick very embarrassed-he had no way to influence Paramount's decision-making.

After nearly half a month of excitement ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hugo's idea of ​​"Mission Impossible" has cooled a bit, but at the same time several other works also have accidents.

The "Twelve Monkeys" were scared away. The recent news is so lively that people clearly feel Hugo's current momentum. The "Twelve Monkeys" crew stated that they could not bear the tremendous pressure, even if Hugo was willing to play for free, they would not be fortunate. So politely interrupted further negotiations with Rick.

The crew of "Break into Death Island" also began to discuss urgently, because they expected the biggest card to be Sean Connery, but now it seems that Hugo is the most popular and appealing existence, so what is the drama? arrange? How to arrange the pay? What was even more unexpected was that they actually asked Alex to audition, which immediately made things interesting.

A hype farce bothered Hugo, which is why he never liked hype and did not like the media. These bad conditions made it hard for him to like it. At the same time, news of the "seven deadly sins" also came. The New Line Film Company arranged a dinner party and invited many people, and the relevant personnel of the crew would arrive, and everyone could communicate with each other on the spot.

Hugo knows that this is equivalent to an audition, a chance for a two-way audition. But, I hope that this time the new line film company did not have the idea of ​​hype!
