The Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood is just a four-star hotel, but it's even more famous than many five-star hotels, and the reason is simple: every year after the Oscars, Vanity Fair's "Oscar Night" party is held here.

Today, the Sunset Tower Hotel has once again become the focus of attention, and half of Hollywood has been flocking to the hotel, not only media reporters, production company powerhouses, fashion magazine editors, Hollywood actors, but also many New York Wall Street celebrities, making Los Angeles in November early presenting the noise and boiling of the year-end awards ceremony.

For no other reason, everyone knows one thing, the party for the opening ceremony of "Truman's World" was held on time today at the Sunset Tower Hotel, this $60 million production, which can be called the highest-budget comedy film in recent years, Paramount has injected a lot of effort into the film, and even began to carry out the early mysterious publicity since September - and at this time the cast of the movie has not even been fully determined.

But Paramount doesn't care, because all they need is a gimmick: Hugo Lancaster, starring Hugo, will be Hugo's first comedy film in the true sense of the word, and will once again give people a taste of Hugo's comedy after "Friends".

Rumors in the circle that Hugo defeated Jim Carrey - the current king of Hollywood comedy - to get the chance to star in this production, which has also become a hot topic of discussion. Since "Strange in Disguise", King has taken his exaggerated and unique acting style to the extreme, winning the love of the entire North American market, and there is almost no one who can match him in the current comedy field - not even Billy Crystal and Robin Williams.

Now, Hugo has defeated King, for the second time in a row after the "20 million club", and it is in the field of comedy that King is best at, which is enough to make everyone excited. Expectations and curiosity about "Truman's World" have risen to a whole new level - but people can't tell whether they are expecting Hugo to beat Kim again with a good performance, or expecting Hugo to usher in a fiasco in the comedy genre, but it is certain that whatever the outcome, it will be very exciting.

More importantly, "Truman's World" will be the second work in which Hugo's personal salary reaches 20 million, and he can also participate in box office dividends, which is almost an unprecedented unequal condition - for film companies, although they do not know the specific dividend ratio, everyone can be sure that this is the first time in the history of Hollywood film, the "20 million club" is already the top of the top in the entire Hollywood, and Hugo can also get box office dividends, which is destined to shock the whole United States.

At this time, the final box office of "L.A. Confidential" has not come out, and people cannot know what Hugo's final salary will be, so many people have predicted that "Truman's World" will set a new personal box office record for Hollywood actors - who knows, there is no need to wait for "Truman's World", "L.A. Confidential" has already taken the lead in setting such a record.

So, even if only Hugo is confirmed in the cast of the protagonist, even if the screenwriter Andrew Nicol is still revising the script, and even if the crew has not yet been assembled, Paramount's publicity department has already begun to lay the groundwork - just one Hugo is enough to ignite all the topics, and it can be seen that they are confident in the film.

One after another, the starring lineup of "Truman's World" has been decided, Paul Giamati (Paul. Giamatti), Ed Harris (Ed. Harris) and other stalwart actors have joined, Alexander Lorraine has also confirmed that he will play Truman's best friend Malone in the movie, which has also become the first big news, which is also another collaboration between the two friends.

Immediately after the second bombshell news was announced, Kate Winslet announced that she would star in this work, and she was not a heroine, just a supporting actress in the movie.

Since "Reason and Sensibility" amazed Hollywood, Kate has not been affected too much by regretting passing by her first Oscar statuette, and she soon joined the "Titanic" crew with her perseverance, which attracted much attention. Now, Kate has chosen "Truman's world" again, and the cooperation with the first person in the United States today has made everyone very optimistic about Kate's future development prospects.

The pending actress spot has become the most sought-after spot in Hollywood, with Paramount announcing the latest news almost every week to two weeks. At its peak, this spot was crowded with eleven top actresses, including Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston and many other names, as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones recommended by Steven Spielberg. Zeta-Jones), Cate Blanchett (Cate) recommended by Scott Rudin. Blanchett) is also on the list, and the competition is fierce like never before.

In the competition for the heroine - in fact, including the competition for supporting actresses, the major agencies used all kinds of connections, almost endless means, it can be said that the eight immortals crossed the sea to show their powers, and during the release of "L.A. Confidential", the casting process of the heroine of "Truman's World" also became one of the biggest gossip news.

Stepping on the tail of October, the battle for the heroine of "Truman's World" finally came to an end, and unexpectedly, Nicole Kidman had the last laugh and managed to get the opportunity to work with Hugo.

The reason why it is unexpected is that Nicole has not been able to really achieve career success so far, except for winning a Golden Globe Award for "Whatever it takes" in 1995, she is best known for her identity as "Mrs. Tom Cruise", and the 1995 box office miracle "Batman Forever" She is only a supporting role. What's more, Nicole has never starred in any comedy films, and more often than not, she is known as a "vase".

This also raises countless question marks: Is Nicole really able to publish enough acting skills? Will Nicole repeat Brad's mistakes in "The Seven Deadly Sins" in front of Hugo and make the rivalry boring? Can Nicole really put down her body and devote herself to comedy in "Truman's World"? Is Nicole's joining a good thing or a bad thing for "Truman's world"?

But this result can also be regarded as reasonable, aside from the fact that Nicole's agency, Innovative Artist Agency, is currently the hottest top presence in the entire Hollywood, Nicole's husband Tom Cruise and Hugo's personal relationship is well known, and the two have always hoped to cooperate, but unfortunately they have never found an opportunity; In addition, Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion, Nora Efron, and David Fincher are all willing to endorse her, not to mention Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and the Cruises.

In the final stage, Nicole defeated the powerful Julia Roberts and had the last laugh in the head-to-head competition, successfully winning the role of "Truman's World". The whole casting process can be called an epic blockbuster, which is heart-wrenching and vigorous, which also makes people more curious and expectant about this work.

Just in the casting stage, "Truman's World" was in the limelight, and Paramount Pictures squeezed almost all of the film's surplus value. Even if the movie fails by then, Paramount occupies the commanding heights in terms of topics, but everyone knows that Paramount is so ambitious not just for the topic, they obviously have more pursuits, and now it depends on whether "Truman's world" can meet Paramount's high standards.

Today, "Truman's World" is hosting a big party at the Sunset Tower Hotel, replacing the usual press conference, and Paramount clearly wants everyone to be more relaxed and free to enjoy the opening ceremony. Of course, this is also the occasion for various transactions to sprout or be reached, and Paramount's abacus can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, but no one can refuse this party.

Not only because of "Truman's world", but also because many people remember that Hugo's birthday was in this month. Hugo has always kept a low profile, rarely causing a sensation on his birthday, and more often just celebrates with his friends. This year is Hugo's thirtieth birthday, but Hugo still has no plans, so this party has become the only occasion that everyone can send blessings to Hugo, although no one officially mentioned it, but everyone tacitly intends to surprise Hugo on the night of the party.

So, tonight's Sunset Tower Hotel has become the focus of attention in the whole of Los Angeles, because only 700 invitations were sent out on the scene, the scale is naturally much smaller than Oscar night, but each of these 700 invitations is worth a thousand dollars, even the upper class people rack their brains, sharpen their heads and want to squeeze in, such a grand occasion far exceeds Oscar night, which is amazing, only sighing.

When Hugo arrived at the scene, he saw the grand red carpet, as well as a large number of reporters wandering at the door, and at least 200 people crowded the door, and the scene actually had the illusion of coming to the Oscar night, which made Hugo can't help but look down, and then laughed dumbly, "Fortunately, I wasn't too rude today." One sentence caused the reporters to be surprised.

After a brief interview - there will be a lot of time for the party inside, Hugo quickly entered the Sunset Tower Hotel, and after only a few walks, he saw Shirley Lansing oncoming him, and from her calm posture, it was difficult to tell whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate one, "Look, our protagonist has arrived on the scene, no wonder I think the surroundings have just become brighter." ”

"I'm lucky I didn't forget to bring my flashlight." Hugo's humorous response made Shirley smile brightly.
