Chapter 1383: Ready to Move

Hollywood has recently had some mountains and rains about to come, and all forces are ready to move, Warner Bros., Paramount, and Disney are all planning to invest about $100 million in big projects; Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Universal Pictures are more aggressive, working on multiple projects with a cost of more than 80 million yuan, hoping to reverse their current sluggish situation; Even MGM and New Line Pictures, which have not moved much, have frequent small moves.

Everyone seems to feel the imminence of history pushing forward, and the failure of "Future Water World" has caused the eight major film companies to start introspection and debate.

On the other hand, James Cameron submitted a super project that he had been planning for nearly three years to Twentieth Century Fox, and it was rumored that James Lion asked for a budget of $200 million, which made Twentieth Century Fox, who had just witnessed the fiasco of "Future Waterworld", hesitate.

At the same time, Columbia Pictures, which has been cornered, can be seen everywhere, and Mark Canton has become the busiest figure in Hollywood in recent times, but everyone doesn't know what he's planning. Mark visited two leaders of the three major agencies and medium-sized agencies, and then met with Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others, and of course Hugo was one of them.

People are speculating about Mark's plan, and many of Columbia's high-investment projects obviously need actors with box office appeal to play the role, but Mark's actions are too frequent, revealing a hint of impetuousness and unease.

In this busy and noisy area, Hugo is naturally one of the focal points, the super high attention of "Death Row Walk" has pushed the momentum accumulated from the previous "Seven Deadly Sins" to a new high, and everyone clearly knows that Hugo has not read a new script for more than three months, and Glory to Death is also on hold during this time, which seems to imply that in this storm, Hugo should be a bystander. But is that really the case?

Long before the screening of "Death Row Walk", there were rumors in the circle that Twentieth Century Fox was seeking cooperation with Hugo, and for this reason, Kevin Burns traveled everywhere and mobilized all possible resources. But whether Kevin's target is commercial or art cinema is unknown.

As the topic of "Death Row Walk" gradually became popular, and rumors developed further, Twentieth Century Fox seemed to hope to get the right to produce Hugo's second play, which also attracted a lot of attention. Some say that Hugo wrote a script about a rock band, and some say that Hugo intends to challenge the comedy theme this time; Some people say that Hugo plans to write, direct and act by himself, but some people say that Hugo is in contact with Tom Hanks, and Tom is very interested in directing; Some people say that Hugo is very confident in this script, and thinks that the challenge of the character is no less difficult than the "death row walk......

In the midst of different opinions, there has never been official confirmation, and even the major film companies seem to have been on hold, and these news have always been spread only among the people behind the scenes.

Just last week, there were rumors that Twentieth Century Fox was planning to collaborate with Hugo on an independent literary film, and Kevin hopes to use Hugo's excellent acting skills to impact next year's Oscars. This rumor is said to have a nose and eyes, and some people even say that the script is about Alan Turing, the father of computer science and the father of artificial intelligence. Turing), Hugo will show the struggles and pains of the last decade of Turing's life.

It is known that after Turing was discovered to be gay, he was forced to undergo treatment for homosexual tendencies, experienced the stigma of estrogen injections, and finally chose to take an apple soaked in cyanide and committed suicide.

The proposal was so realistically stated that it even attracted official reports from a few newspapers, and it was so eloquent and vivid that it was said vividly. In the "Austin Pravda" news report, they simply announced the entire cast, they believe that David Fincher will direct this biopic film and start a second collaboration with Hugo, and the most important female role in the film is currently competing by Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Julia Roberts. As for the role of Alan Turing's same-sex partner, Leonardo DiCaprio is currently locked in.

The Austin Pravda report was reported almost as fact, and after its publication, it caused an uproar, and many people had great expectations for the film, which was still in the works, and that issue of the newspaper sold exceptionally well. It is estimated that no one remembers the difference between the newspaper's film reviews of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Twelve Monkeys".

After this news came out, almost everyone locked their eyes on Alan Turing's biography, and many reporters called Rick and Joseph's mobile phones to confirm, but Rick and Joseph denied it. This has left the reporters confused, is this true or false?

It stands to reason that since both the agent and the manager have denied it, it means that the news is unreliable. But the Austin Pravda sentence that "both sides appear to be more conservative until the matter is actually implemented" made the suspense increase sharply. As they say, things were changing before the signing was signed, and Rick and Joseph's denials became synonymous with caution, which only deepened the credibility of the matter.

It's really laughable.

However, Twentieth Century Fox did not stop the spread of these news, and they never issued a positive statement to clarify, which is the fundamental reason why the rumors have never dissipated. At this time, everyone thought that Hugo's new work was a biographical film, and even many film production companies thought so, but at this level, a paparazzi broke the grapevine:

The project that Hugo and Twentieth Century Fox are negotiating is not a celebrity biography at all, not even a literary film, but a commercial masterpiece that will star in the first truly high-budget commercial film of his career.

When the news came out, many people's first reaction was not to believe it, because Alan Turing's biography was too true, and under preconceived notions, people refused to believe that Hugo's next work would be a commercial film. But this news has attracted the attention of many professionals in the circle: because the whistleblower of the news is Dawes Carter!

Dawes Carter, the paparazzi who has been in the limelight this year is no stranger to insiders, who broke the truth about the confrontation between Mr. Bond and Adam Lancaster late last year; This year, the truth of the Michael Jackson affair has been shaken out; Although Dawes was not the focus of attention in the Hugo incident that caused a sensation in the summer, and Mr. Bond stole almost all the attention, many details about the incident were revealed by Dawes, so that the truth of the matter was presented in front of people's eyes little by little.

In addition to Hugo-related news, Dawes has also reported many events in the past year, such as the Hugh Grant scandal, the Charlie Sheen scandal, and so on.

It can be said that Dawes is the undisputed leader in the field of paparazzi at the moment, and his sources are very reliable, and he has contributed a lot of exclusive and truthful news. Compared to the negative focus Anthony Bond Stewart, Dawes can fully be called the current king of the paparazzi.

Now, Dawes has actually broken the news of Hugo's new work, which makes people in the circle have to think about it for a while, because Dawes's news sources are often much more authentic than other paparazzi.

While insiders were still watching, Dawes took photos of Rick and Kevin eating alone, then Kevin, Roland Emmerich in a meeting with a computer effects company, and then Kevin himself going to Malibu to find Hugo...... A series of actions are completely cascading reactions, each more explosive and more sensational.

While the rumors of Alan Turing's biography are also a project of Twentieth Century Fox, Kevin's recent series of moves is clearly more than just an art film. Of course, maybe these photos are not connected at all, and are completely the case of several different projects, for example, Kevin and Roland are working on another commercial film, and Kevin is talking to Rick and Hugo about a biopic film. This possibility cannot be denied.

But no matter what, this series of photos that Dawes broke the news has clouded the truth.

After "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins", and "Death Row Walk", people have always been curious about Hugo's next work, especially after glimpsing Hugo's wonderful performance in "Death Row Walk", which also makes people's curiosity reach a peak: what if Hugo played other different roles?

This is also the reason why people have a heated discussion when biographical film news appears. Now, not only commercial films, but even art films, there is a lot of interest in Hugo's next work. However, now Dawes's revelations have made things uncertain, and people's curiosity has been directly pushed to a new high.

Naturally, the layman did not realize why Hugo's new work was always associated with Twentieth Century Fox? But insiders are sensitive to the perception that something is wrong, especially the timing and follow-up reports of Dawes's revelations, which are completely prepared, whether Kevin deliberately let the paparazzi secretly photograph them, or Dawes simply arranged for them to shoot, but what is certain is that things are not so simple at all. Especially in the recent Hollywood turmoil, there is a hidden murderous intention, which makes people feel more and more depressed and restless before the storm.

It's just that the twentieth Century Fox, which took the lead, still took the lead, and when everyone's suspicions just began to emerge, it unveiled the mystery and announced the truth, which caused a sensation in the United States in an instant, and the entire film market shook and roared!
