Chapter 1594: The crowd is boiling

72_72291 "Sue sΓΉ my progress now, fast!" Sebastian Espinosa (Sebastian. Espinoza walked into the conference room in a frenzy, and the atmosphere of the original chatter in the conference room froze into ice in an instant, Sebastian frowned, swept around the room, and finally said, "Austin, start." ”

Austin McCartney (Austin) who was named. McEy) panicked and hesitated twice, "Rick Rosen said that the time was already full, there was no schedule to be interviewed by us, and now the phone is no longer available, even his first assistant Jim Snow's phone is always a hotline, and his second assistant is the only person we can reach. ”

Sebastian only frowned, wandering back and forth in front of the conference table, "So, he knew we were People Magazine and still rejected us?" Sebastian seemed to be asking a question, and as if he was talking to himself, the conference room in front of him was silent, until he raised his head and glanced at Austin, Austin quickly nodded in affirmation, "Go on, go on, I need to know how bad the situation is......"

Austin looked at his fellow editors for help, as the editor-in-chief of "People", Sebastian has never been a good person to get along with, if he can't answer at the meeting, or can't come up with an idea, he is likely to be thrown into the cold palace, and after three times, he is estimated to be out of work.

But today's problem Austin can't do anything at all, now everyone is trying to contact Hugo, trying to find an opportunity for an interview, although the box office of "Independence Day" has not exceeded 500 million, but in fact, since the threshold of 400 million, the competition for interview invitations has begun, and the influx of appointments has made the phone line of Endeavor Elite Agency almost on fire.

However, most of the top media at the time wanted to wait and see, although their reports have been constantly keeping up, and the crew has conducted countless interviews with Wèn, but in the case of Hugo's personal interview, they still want to wait until the "Independence Day" box office has really slowed down before conducting interviews, because then they can become "the first exclusive media after Hugo won the box office of $500 million", a gimmick worth at least a million dollars.

The most important thing in news, in addition to the truth, lies in timing, and the so-called timing is not simply as fast as possible, but grasping the accurate timing. Sometimes, waiting for the right moment to press the breaking news is also a must for journalists.

If "Independence Day" can break through the box office of 500 million, this is the time. With the end of the summer vacation, the pace of "Independence Day" towards 500 million is making great strides every week, which also makes the competition between news media more and more fierce. An interview with Hugo has become a hot topic for the media in the United States and even around the world, as Austin said, at present, they can only contact Rick's second assistant, not only Rick, but the entire Endeavour elite agency has become a hit.

"Independence Day" is the first work to be packaged and cooperated since the establishment of Endeavor Elite Agency, and the result has achieved such brilliant achievements, and its artists have risen to the top, and have faintly occupied an absolute advantage in the competition with United Elite Agency.

Harvesting Austin's distress look, Jesse. "As far as we know, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post have not yet made appointments for interviews, and Rick has all declined the interview request on the grounds that Hugo does not have time for the time being. However, it is rumored that only Time magazine and Rick have had an in-depth conversation, but there is no news of the success of the interview appointment for the time being. ”

In this wave of fierce competition, all the major media outlets in the United States are competing with bayonets, and even these top media outlets have to do everything in their power to show their competitiveness, and no one is exempt, not even the "Los Angeles Times".

Austin threw a grateful look at Jesse, thanking Jesse for relieving him, but Jesse didn't have time to respond to Austin, because Sebastian looked over, "'Era'? Where did you get the news? ”

If Time had really succeeded in making contact with Rick, they would not have kept it a secret and would have celebrated it with much fanfare. But if it's fake news, that's another story.

"The Wall Street Journal. But the source is also uncertain and needs to be verified. Jesse's words made Sebastian nod, if it was the "Wall Street Journal", it would be different, the media's connections in the United States are definitely not that simple.

Sebastian fell silent and thought for a moment, "Who has any good opinions?" Hurry, hurry! We can't miss this exclusive interview with Hugo, absolutely not! ”

Last year, People magazine took a different approach to award Brad Pitt the title of the world's sexiest man of the year, which was undoubtedly a big feat and became the best witness to Brad's ascension to the top of Hollywood. But at this time, Sebastian had a headache, because Hugo was refreshing everyone's understanding with his terrifying expression again and again, and if Hugo was chosen again, this would have become the most unsuspenseful but also the most unsurprising answer.

This year, People hasn't figured out what to do, so they need an interview to get closer to Hugo and show the magazine's wisdom. This is crucial for the "characters".

Sebastian finished growling and looked at Jesse, "Which of you contacted Joseph Gibbs?" Or is it Samora Kasvi? ”

"Joseph doesn't answer the phone at the moment, and Samora does, but his answer is that Hugo is busy with work and doesn't have time." Jesse also looked helpless, obviously, Endeavor Elite Agency and Hugo reached a consensus of opinion, the same external tone, and set up the news media on the bonfire to roast slowly.

Sebastian clenched his fist and slammed it into the top of his desk, startling everyone in the entire conference room, and then saw him grit his teeth viciously, "No matter what method you use, the interview must be won!" Jesse, where the hell is Hugo now? Houston or Miami, you come there in person and come to visit! If you don't see him, don't come back! ”

At this moment, the news media throughout the United States are mobilized, and no one is exempt, because everyone clearly knows that this is the moment to create history, this is the moment to witness history! Such an exciting moment easily mobilizes every bit of enthusiasm in everyone's body and makes people crazy. The uncrowned kings, who were once incomparably noble and proud, also bowed their noble heads at this moment, and deigned to join this carnival, and there was no hope of missing this feast.

Not only the "People" weekly, but also the editorial office of the "Time" magazine was in chaos at this time.

Walter Isakson (Walter. issa) was also frowning tightly at this time, supporting his chin with both hands and falling into thought, and then he heard someone next to him shouting "Walter, Walter", he came back to his senses, raised his head and saw that more than twenty editors in the entire conference room were focusing on him, Walter did not panic, but thought calmly, "No, we still can't miss this opportunity." ”

Walter came to the final conclusion that Time magazine had been actively contacting Hugo recently, hoping to make Hugo the cover character for the next October and give an interview to the magazine, but now he couldn't make an appointment for Hugo - to be precise, Rick was also weighing the timing and refused to let go.

So, Time magazine had used a roundabout policy to make an appointment for an interview in November, and they told Rick that Hugo was qualified enough to be named this year's Time Person of the Year. of。 the。 year), we hope to be able to conduct a detailed interview.

The so-called Person of the Year, which began in 1927, was initially distinguished for the purpose of review, but gradually became a tradition of journalism, a habit of Americans, and caused a strong response in the world. Although they are called the people of the year, they can be men, women, couples, groups of people, regions, opportunities or even a year, and the important thing is that whether it is good or bad, it is the most influential in the past year.

TIME's selection far outweighs the entertainment of People's magazine, the Man of the Year selection of the world's top names in a variety of fields, from Mahatma Gandhi to Deng. Small. From Adolf Hitler to Winston Churchill, from Hungarian freedom fighters to Martin Luther King Jr., among them, the "Twenty-Fives and Under" who became the most famous person in 1966, the American woman in 1975, and the personal computer in 1982 are all selections with a distinct mark of the times, and their importance has played a pivotal role in the world.

Hugo can become the candidate of the man of the year, it is enough to feel that Hugo plays a pivotal role in American society today, and it is difficult for Rick to say no in the face of Walter's killer move, not to mention that this is an interview appointment in November, so Rick did not refuse for the time being. That's why Time had a long phone call with Rick -- and apparently competitors, including People, had received the news that Walter had unleashed smoke bombs.

However, after careful consideration, Walter still believes that they should not miss this opportunity, "This is a change in the film industry, and we cannot miss it." Walter's brain was racing fast, and then he jerked to his feet, "Help me find out, where is Hugo's manager, Joseph Gibbs, I'm going to visit him personally!" ”

As soon as Walter gave the order, the entire editorial office of Time magazine became busy. But such a scene is not unusual, a similar scene can be seen in the newsrooms of large and small media in the United States, the uncrowned kings are boiling again, everyone is focused on the big place of Hollywood, and even the presidential election that has entered the sprint stage has been temporarily ignored by people - even if it is only temporary, you can still feel the surging heat in your face, this summer, it seems that it is not over
