Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

That's the case with the L.A. Confidential crew, which was working overtime and the whole crew was winding up and down, and they were able to finish a week earlier than expected, which was the best news for Curtis, because it meant he had more time for post-production. However, the uncrowned kings clearly did not want to let them go.

first the news of Hugo and Cameron's breakup, then the news that Hugo and Russell were out of control in the crew's filming, and then Hugo became the protagonist during the promotional period of the "Batman and Robin" crew, which almost gave people the illusion that "Hugo starred in Bruce Wayne", which is really laughable.

In the entire "Batman and Robin" promotion period, the most frequently mentioned name is actually "Hugo Lancaster", an unrelated figure, which can be called a rich stroke in the history of Hollywood film promotion.

The trio of George, Arnold, and Uma began to appear wildly on major programs, with a record of attending seven talk shows in one day to promote it, and media outlets large and small were overwhelming with "Batman and Robin" news. George was in charge of talking and laughing and controlling the audience; Arnold is responsible for creating topics and sitting still; Uma is in charge of elegance and peers, sharing private affairs.

During the promotion period, Uma began to talk freely about the details of her relationship with Hugo, from the first meeting to the first date, from the romantic dinner between the two to the endless arguments, although she did not deliberately speak ill of Hugo, but these topics sparked endless discussions. Because, for a long time, Hugo's personal private life has been full of mystery, even if the paparazzi monitored Hugo 24 hours a day, the information obtained was still very limited, and the information about Hugo's personal life was completely hidden behind the scenes.

Now, not only is someone willing to talk about those details on the show, but this person is also Hugo's former date, whether it is true or not, at least in terms of the topic, it has aroused the curiosity of countless people, and people have been tirelessly discussing.

There is no doubt that Hugo has once again become a stepping stone for others, and he was surrounded by a group of reporters at the door of the "L.A. Confidential" crew, asking him what his attitude was to Uma's actions, Hugo did not joke with the reporters as usual, but shrugged his shoulders and said very seriously, "I don't like it." ”

Such a direct answer was unexpected by journalists, because it was rare for Hugo to express his attitude so strongly in public; But it was expected, because Hugo was never willing to discuss his private life too much, and the original invasion of Lanches by reporters affected Adam's life, and Hugo in his anger is still fresh in his memory.

"But...... Hugo, this is part of your life. ”

The reporter raised his voice to try to remind Hugo that this is the reality that he must face as a top superstar: all those who meet, know and know Hugo have the right to say their impressions of Hugo, as well as those interesting facts and anecdotes, which is an unavoidable reality.

Hugo nodded, "I know......" he pursed his lips, "but, I don't like it." "Simple, but clear, non-negotiable.

"So, will you do anything about it?"

The reporter tried to fan the flames, but Hugo laughed, "I don't like you either, but there is still no way to stop you from hindering the filming progress of the crew." That's part of my life. This sentence made the reporters blush, and they couldn't help but bow their heads to avoid Hugo's gaze.

The mouth grew on Uma's body, and it was impossible for Hugo to gag her mouth or imprison her movements. Hugo had anticipated this day long after the cast of "Batman and Robin" came out, but Barry Meyer's indulgent attitude slightly surprised him, so Hugo followed up with the media to express his opinion, unwavering, non-negotiable.

Sure enough, after Hugo's response was disseminated by reporters, almost all of Hollywood was in turmoil. Not to mention the top bigwigs like Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, even the helmsmen of film companies such as Ron Meyer, Mark Canton, Kevin Pence, and Shirley Lansing have received Hugo's message, and any TV show must consider whether they can afford such consequences before interviewing Uma.

For reference, just last week, "Speed of Life and Death 2" was grandly released, and "Speed of Life and Death", which only invested 28 million three years ago, created a box office miracle in the summer file, sweeping 239 million US dollars, and also witnessed Hugo's first ascent to the top; Now, the $130 million "Life and Death 2" has only won $16 million at the box office in its opening weekend without the leadership of Hugo, not only the box office Waterloo, but also the film critics' word-of-mouth has been criticized by all the media, which makes Twentieth Century Fox look ugly.

This proves Hugo's box office appeal from the side, and it is no wonder that the helmsmen of major companies must pay attention to it.

So, it's not too difficult to choose between Uma and Hugo or, more accurately, between an unknown film and Hugo. Even Warner Bros. was divided into two factions, one of which firmly believed that Hugo was nothing more than an actor, and that their cooperation was limited to productions, and that there was no need to implicate the company's other plans for the sake of one person, which was completely unnecessary; One group of people believes that Hugo's current influence cannot be underestimated, he is not just an actor, the connections and interests he maintains behind him are almost enough to have a chain reaction in half of Hollywood, and they must pay attention to Hugo's attitude.

In fact, this is not only a controversy within Warner Bros., but also a controversy in the entire entertainment industry.

But the fact is that after Hugo's remarks, the invitation to the "Batman and Robin" program plummeted, and CBS TV unexpectedly canceled the two scheduled program schedules, refused the attendance of the "Batman and Robin" crew, and invited the "My Best Friend's Wedding" crew instead, such a clear attitude is shocking.

Other TV shows, even if not as obvious as CBS does, have had to be cautious, even though the "Batman & Robin" crew still appears on the show, but the interview with Uma has plummeted, and there are even shows that want Chris O'Donnell to replace Uma for promotion. According to incomplete statistics, in the program broadcast after Hugo's interview, Uma's interview time plummeted by 50%, and the topic of Hugo's private life dropped by 70%, and the effect was too obvious.

Of course, there are still many TV shows that commit crimes against the wind. Obviously, Hugo's reaction was so stark and so intense, which also proves the value of the Uma topic - there are not many people who dare to speak and dare to do like Umma, so some shows do not hesitate to fight for the ratings, but instead give Uma more time to interview and discuss more about that relationship.

The most influential of these is undoubtedly the "Oprah talk show", which is also the most surprising show - because just a few days ago, Oprah also interviewed Cameron to discuss the relationship between Cameron and Hugo, and now Oprah is making a fuss about Uma again. The hype intent is too obvious.

In the show, Oprah conducted an in-depth "interview" with Uma, and Uma even cried for a while, and the far-reaching impact of that relationship on her was clearly visible.

But Oprah's bold move was undoubtedly a success, with the episode surpassing 50 million viewers, a record high in the past three years, and becoming one of the five most-watched episodes of the show since its inception. It also reflects the desire to challenge taboos – the more forbidden things are, the more tempting they become. Confusion.

However, few people know the inside story behind it: Endeavour Elite Agency has canceled all its artists plans to appear in "Oprah Talk Show" within this year, and even Steven Spielberg has canceled plans to star in "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World". This is undoubtedly a huge loss for the show, and the far-reaching consequences for the future are completely unpredictable: Tom Cruise, who was originally scheduled to star on the "Oprah talk show" in September, is also rumored to have turned down the offer.

It can be clearly felt that Hugo's influence in Hollywood has quietly penetrated into the bone marrow of the entire industry, and it may be too exaggerated to describe it as "calling the wind and rain, scattering beans into soldiers", but there is no doubt about "moving and thinking twice". Almost everyone tried to get a share of Hugo, but at the same time everyone tried to avoid fishing and drinking to quench their thirst. Decisions related to Hugo are not easy for anyone to make.

Time will tell who the winner of this competition is, but one thing is for sure, "Batman and Robin" did what they planned: after angering Hugo, the movie rose to the top of the conversation overnight, and many viewers who were not interested in the movie had the idea of going to the cinema.

The news has made film experts have great expectations for the box office prospects of "Batman and Robin".

Last summer, "Independence Day" exploded at the box office with $36 million on Thursday's premiere day, and continued to work hard in the following three days over the weekend, wildly sweeping $80 million at the box office, creating an almost insurmountable first-week box office record in film history.

However, not long ago, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" broke the "Independence Day" record with a three-day opening weekend of $90 million, and once again ushered in an uproar in North America. Now, in the face of the menacing "Batman and Robin", people are speculating that the film will hopefully reach $95 million at the box office in its opening weekend, breaking the current opening weekend box office record in film history again!

Ninety-five million dollars?
