Chapter 1308 - Like a Fish in the Throat

Since the New York Post published its opinion on the gradual decline of Hugo's career in a worried manner at the beginning of the year, people have been waiting for Hugo's outbreak. People are wondering whether Hugo's latest work after "Before Sunrise" will be a huge success or continue to decline, and where Hugo's career will go.

For most of this year, Hugo's cousin proved that the New York Post's concerns were unnecessary, but Hugo was still absent from this year's summer schedule, making a rebuttal seem "not very strong", so people are looking forward to Hugo's outburst and see what kind of posture Hugo will use to refute the "career decline theory" set off by the "New York Post".

But no one could have predicted that the "Seven Deadly Sins" would become a flashpoint.

According to historical experience, the thriller and suspense "Seven Deadly Sins" and the heavy plot "Death Row Walk" are difficult to become box office flashpoints, which is also an important reason why countless people expressed their strangulation after Hugo missed "Mission Impossible". The general professional view across Hollywood is that the 10 million salary of "Seven Deadly Sins" will become the first step, after which Hugo will take on a work similar to "The Speed of Life and Death", and then complete the explosion next year to defend his superstar status again.

But no one thought that the "Walk on Death Row Prisoners" had just been completed, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" had already achieved a full-scale outbreak.

But it seemed to be doomed, and in April, Michael Jackson cleared his grievances, which led to the August 5 rebellion; The explosion of the Grammys stage in February single-handedly dominated the grandeur of the "Wonderwall", which in turn triggered the strength of "Apologize"; Hugo's excessive pressure during the filming of "Death Row Walk" led to a collapse and a direct shift in the media's self-reflection.

Seemingly unrelated events accumulate one after another, and finally burst into amazing energy, fueled by the "Los Angeles Times" film review written by Nicholas!

At this time, the responsibility of the media and the professional ethics of journalism are being discussed all over the United States, and it has even risen to the level of presidential election issues, becoming the focus of discussion among ordinary people. And the "Seven Deadly Sins", as a carrier for exposing social indifference and social darkness, have also quickly become the focus of attention.

At this moment, the "Seven Deadly Sins" has gone beyond the responsibility of a movie, and is more like a social event, triggering a frenzy of audiences entering the cinema. Not to mention the fact that young volcanoes flocked to the cinema to express their support for Hugo, just as they supported the single "Apology", and their support for the "Seven Deadly Sins" was clearly a continuation of the August 5 rebellion.

In the fourth week of September 1995, the "Seven Deadly Sins", which was the most unlikely to achieve a breakthrough, completed an incredible explosion, with a single box office of 13,758, swept out a premiere box office of more than 34 million US dollars, shattered the glasses of countless people, and refreshed a series of film history records in September with a sweeping attitude.

"Seven Deadly Sins" not only became the box office champion of the premiere in September film history, but also set a new record for the premiere box office in the entire autumn film history, and undoubtedly became the premiere record holder of thriller and suspense films, the premiere record holder of serial killer movies, and also refreshed the new premiere box office record of the three leading actors, and also tapped the unlimited potential of the September film market, which made everyone marvel or marvel.

In the midst of such a massive outburst of the "Seven Deadly Sins", many people noticed one small thing: the New York Post did not respond in any way! They didn't even write a film review for the "Seven Deadly Sins"!

At the beginning, the "New York Post" swore that "before sunrise" was the www.biquge.info of Hugo's declining career, but now, in just half a year, the "Seven Deadly Sins" responded to this view with such a strong expression, but in the face of the strong attack of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the "New York Post", which was very active before, completely disappeared from the audience's sight, which is really a huge contrast.

This is also widely believed to be a moment of shame and shame for the New York Post. As one of the top 10 best-selling newspapers in the United States, the "New York Post" actually retaliated against Hugo in such a way and finally humiliated itself, which can also be called a historical moment for the "New York Post".

Colin Mailer also did not anticipate such a situation at all, the reason why he did not write the film review of "The Seven Deadly Sins" was that he did not want to provoke Hugo in a short time, after all, now the "National Inquirer" has become everyone's punching bag, and he does not want to involve the "New York Post"; On the one hand, it is also because of the ban on the alliance, although the alliance has become a virtual reality, "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle", and "San Francisco Chronicle" have all published film reviews of the "Seven Deadly Sins", but Colin still doesn't want Hugo to be too proud, so he continues the practice of refusing to report Hugo's news since May.

But I didn't expect that now this decision is to shoot myself in the foot. At the beginning, Colin was proud of the spring breeze of "Hugo's decline theory" for a long time, and the sales of the "New York Post" also hit a peak, but now the retribution is so fast and so ferocious, Colin didn't even have room to fight back, and was directly beaten by Hugo's straight punch and was overwhelmed.

In the face of the menacing arrival of the "Seven Deadly Sins", Colin is also bitter, he can't justify the real reason why he didn't report the "Seven Deadly Sins", and he can't explain the background of the original "Hugo's Decline Theory" - "The Seven Deadly Sins" is only premiering now, and the future results are still unknown. Because of the whole situation, Colin's justification will become a quibble and will only become a joke, not to mention that the current "seven deadly sins" have set off a crusade against the news media by the entire circle of public opinion, and the slightest carelessness on the part of Colin will put the "New York Post" in a state of no return. He could only keep his mouth shut.

Even the film review of the "Seven Deadly Sins" itself has now been released, and it has missed the opportunity not to publish it, to implement everyone's speculation about the "New York Post"; released, everyone mocked them for their hindsight. Now Colin is in a dilemma, and he can only bite the bullet and cheekily post the film review, and then argue that "this is a planned film review, and they originally planned to release it after the second week of the movie's release", with this ostrich mentality to fool the past.

The "New York Post" really lost face and lost its heart this time, and it was unable to defend itself after suffering internal injuries, and the sales of the newspaper did not get any benefit! It was worse than the low point after the witch trial, and Colin almost didn't vomit blood from his internal injuries.

On the opening weekend, with a box office of $34 million, the "Seven Deadly Sins" swept the North American film market with a devastating attitude, and in the face of all sophistry, sophistry, conspiracy, and conspiracy, absolute strength is the real right to speak, and this box office number not only made the "New York Post" shut its mouth, but also made the whole of Hollywood cheer and celebrate the great victory of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Because all the studios are aware that even September, which they abandoned, is not useless. Where there are benefits, there are happy events, and the hyenas are seeking new goals, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" have clearly opened the door.

In the face of such a shocking result, Colin Myler is completely powerless to resist, and everyone takes it for granted that Brad Pitt should be overjoyed: because he is the first actor in the "Seven Deadly Sins", and Morgan and Hugo are both supporting roles.

But herein lies the problem! It's clear that Brad is the leading actor, but he can't be happy, because no one remembers him as the leading actor at all, everyone is admiring Hugo's performance, everyone is marveling at Hugo's irreplaceable contribution to the movie, everyone is talking about Hugo's victory again, everyone is sighing at Hugo's vicious vision in choosing works, everyone is amazed by Hugo's acting skills and breakthroughs again, everyone compares Hugo to Anthony Hopkins - Anthony was in the "Silence of the Lambs" won the Oscar in one fell swoop with only 16 minutes of performance, and this time Hugo's role in the movie was even less, and he appeared in the last 20 minutes of the movie, only less than 14 minutes of scenes, but he stole the show.

Hugo, Hugo, Hugo...... Hugo is everywhere, as if Hugo is the hero, just as Anthony was to the "Silence of the Lambs", but the real hero is left out - not just snubbed, but ridiculed. Brad was under unimaginable pressure on his shoulders, and it almost drove him crazy.

The more others praised Brad and celebrated, the more uncomfortable he became, because every word reminded him: he is the leading actor, but he is not like the male protagonist at all, the salary is only half of Hugo's, and the performance is completely destroyed by Hugo, but he still looks like an invisible man with many scenes......

Brad felt like he was going crazy, and the feeling of being stuck in his throat was almost unbearable. After "Interview with the Vampire", Brad felt the same way, so he had made up his mind to never work with Tom Cruise again; And this time Hugo's sense of oppression is stronger and more severe, Brad knows that Tom and Hugo are his competitors, and they are also competitors he must defeat, but he will not cooperate with Hugo again in the future.

"The Seven Deadly Sins" swept $34 million at the box office in its opening weekend, reigning as the North American box office champion in the fourth week of September without any suspense, and the other works did not have any resistance at all and surrendered en masse! The box office of all works from the second place to the fourteenth place is superimposed, which is comparable to the "Seven Deadly Sins" movie, and this week's North American box office "Seven Deadly Sins" movie accounted for 49% of the total amount!

Such a power made the entire North American film market tremble, "The Silence of the Lambs" swept the box office of $130 million in North America that year, which is the box office record of thriller movies so far, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" that have been compared with the "Silence of the Lambs" in many ways, can it break the historical record of its predecessors?
