Chapter 1551 - Deal with it easily

72_72291As the most watched couple in Hollywood, although Brad and Gwyneth have stolen a lot of attention in the past few months, no one can deny that Hugo and Cameron are currently the most representative golden boys and girls in the whole of Hollywood, and the two of them are bound to become a beautiful picture wherever they go. Today is no exception.

Hugo, who unexpectedly chose a lake-blue crewneck T-shirt with a light gray Scottish checked blazer, and Cameron, who showed off his graceful curves and slender legs in a goose-yellow bandeau skirt, only need to stand in front of people, and they are the undoubted focus, the focus of attention.

When the two of them took a step and walked on the red carpet, all the crowds on the scene were like the wind blowing wheat waves, Hugo and Cameron were the wind, and the boundless sea of people was the wheat waves, the spectacle of the scene could even be compared with the grandeur of the National Geographic Channel, so that the helicopters hovering in the sky were amazed, and the picture of the high-altitude overlook was completely a raging red sea, and the hot magma even penetrated the entire city, so that the helicopters in the sky felt the heat wave blowing in their faces.

Hugo and Cameron's red carpet walked very slowly, both of them greeted as many fans as possible, shaking hands, hugging, taking pictures, autographing, Hugo did his best to meet the fans' requirements in the limited time, he even stopped to talk to a little girl for two minutes, that warm scene made many people at the scene melt.

When the two of them walked to the end of the red carpet and met Jay, it was already twenty-five minutes later, Jay gave Hugo a big hug and sighed, "It's really a long journey, isn't it?" ”

Hugo nodded meaningfully, "Why not." Jay said that the red carpet was too long, while Hugo said that it was from the announcement of "Independence Day" to the present, and after the two of them finished speaking, they caught the deep meaning in each other's sight, and then they both chuckled.

After greeting Cameron, Jay took a slight step back and exclaimed, "Wow, there's no doubt that this is going to be a trend again, and I'm already thinking about wearing it the next time I'm recording a show." Jay was making fun of Burberry Hugo, who has been the most popular luxury brand in the United States for the past three months since the flagship store opened in April, and its popularity is almost incredible.

Hugo shrugged, "Hopefully your big chin will fit into a round neck." A simple response made all the reporters on the scene laugh.

Jie pursed his lips, and between his eyebrows clearly wrote "This joke is normal", which made everyone laugh even more happily, "So, it's been very lively recently, countless rumors are circulating, and some of them seem to be quite aggressive, when you came to the scene today, did you plan to make a formal response?" ”

Jay's words were completely without warning, the happiness came so suddenly that the reporters were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Jay to ask directly about the Oasis and Maria's provocation, originally thought that Jay would take over the rhythm of the interview today, out of personal friendship, Jay would definitely not ask, but in the end, Jay gave everyone a surprise.

Hugo didn't seem surprised at all, because he knew that friends belonged to friends, but Jay's sharpness had never changed, not to mention, Jay's use of this indirect and obscure way to ask questions actually left Hugo a lot of room to play.

"Maybe it means that I've achieved something in Hollywood? That's a good thing, isn't it? Hugo's answer even Jay was slightly stunned, and then he reflected Hugo's meaning, which can be summed up as nothing more than a sentence "There are many people who are popular", Hugo's words are actually saying that the Oasis Band is simply jealous of the glory to death, so he said a bunch of nonsense, but in fact, the words of the Oasis Band and Maria don't need to be taken to heart at all.

With just one sentence, Hugo dismisses Oasis and Maria, and ignores them in a condescending manner. It's really clever. Jie couldn't help but want to applaud Hugo, and the reporters at the scene were even more excited.

"I've always been an open-minded person who is open to criticism and accusations, but only if it's the right thing to say. I won't respond to those vexatious words, after all, I only have one mouth. The subtext is actually saying that Oasis and Maria are being vexatious.

Compared to the accusation of glory to death, the rebuttal of the Oasis band and Maria is really unconvincing, especially the two Gallagher brothers of the Oasis band, who cannot respond to their own accusations, and the accusation of glory to death is simply a personal attack, and there is no part worth referring to. To put it simply, it's a pack of grass in the head.

Hugo's scolding does not contain dirty words, which makes people want to clap their hands and applaud. Although Hugo didn't mention the Oasis Band or Maria or Glory to Death from beginning to end, everyone at the scene knew that it meant something, and almost everyone was about to choke their internal injuries when they held back their laughter.

Jie and Hugo have been back and forth, and there are only less than three sentences before and after, but their combat effectiveness is booming, showing the absolute tacit understanding between these two good friends. Without waiting for the reporters to react, Jay changed the subject, "It can be seen that you have indeed achieved good results." After speaking, Jie also nodded in approval with a thoughtful nod, this expression and action made the laughter on the scene no longer hold back, and directly burst into laughter.

"So, 'Independence Day', $20 million in salary, have you figured out how to spend it?" Jay's question was expected, but the way he asked it was one couldn't help but laugh.

Hugo raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "Have I reached Rockefeller's Cheng dΓΉ now?" Can be splurged? ”

"Uh...... I don't think so. Hugo's witty answer made Jay stunned, and then shook his head seriously, the scene had already laughed, and Cameron, who was standing next to him, had already begun to rub his stomach without image, because his abdominal muscles were stiff with laughter. As you can imagine, though, you're under a lot of pressure, right? What is your outlook for Independence Day? ”

Jay's sentence is actually a metaphor, as we all know, there are currently two members of the 20 million club, namely Hugo and Jim Carrey. The film was officially released on June 14, and although the premiere was not as grand as it is today, it was still not to be underestimated.

The most anticipated head-to-head showdown between "Ace Commissioner" and "Independence Day" was not staged, after all, these are two completely different works, whether it is subject matter or style, there is no competition between the two sides, not to mention that Columbia Pictures has now been hoping to have a good relationship with Hugo, and the previous "Life and Death" vs. "Wolf" fiasco is still vivid, so in the end, "Ace Correspondent" is scheduled for the second week of June, which is three weeks earlier than "Independence Day".

But even so, the "ace commissioner" has attracted countless attention, and people are looking forward to a result: can the 20 million salary be worth it? And is it worth the money?

But the result disappointed everyone, the opening box office of "Ace Correspondent" was only 19 million, although this watch was already very good, enough to make it win the championship for a week in the highly competitive summer season, and it also pulled the popular "Brave Island" from the championship throne; But it is still disappointing, firstly, the box office of "Brave Death Island" was 18 million in the second week, and the championship of "Ace Commissioner" was completely narrowly won; Second, the topic effect of the "20 million club" has not brought added value at all, which is far worse than expected.

Although the investment of "Ace Commissioner" is only 47 million, it can be said that this is a sky-high price for a comedy movie, not to mention that Kim's worth of 20 million does not reflect its value, which hurts the Columbia film industry. As of this week, the cumulative box office of "Ace Commissioner" is only 54 million, and the decline has exceeded 60 percent.

Now the general view is that an investment of around $100 million should be the upper limit, and the 20 million club will only keep the cost rising, but it will not bring more profits, but will make the film industry start to collapse, and should not be busy increasing investment. From "Tornado", "Mission Impossible", to the upcoming "Independence Day", the budget is around $100 million.

However, the defeat of the "Ace Commissioner" is not decided, because the focus is on "Independence Day", and the 20 million club represents the added value of the box office appeal of top stars, with the rising cost of film production; At the same time, the improvement of computer special effects has also made the cost of production rise, and "Independence Day" only invested 100 million US dollars, which can be called a test work. Therefore, the success or failure of "Independence Day" will really put a comma on this debate about high investment and high returns.

Therefore, this is why Jie's words are here, and now everyone is looking at Hugo, and the pressure on Hugo's shoulders is absolutely beyond imagination.

Hugo was naturally clear about this situation, but he showed a relaxed smile and patted his shoulder gently, as if patting the dust off his shoulder, "I think the initiative is no longer in my hands, I will sincerely pray, I hope that the audience at the scene today will buy tickets to watch the movie, maybe I can sleep well tonight." ”

Hugo's actions and words conveyed two diametrically opposed messages, but they both expressed his ease and comfort, which made the audience immediately excited, screaming frantically one by one, and responding to Hugo's "prayer" with their own practical actions
