1994.Chapter 1994 1994 Turning things around

Since the revelations of the "San Francisco Chronicle" came out, this has become the hottest topic in the near future, mainly because people are looking forward to the collision of Hugo and the "Star Wars" series, which can once again burst out of the "Independence Day" or "Titanic" level box office; Combined with the overall topic momentum recently, this topic is even more strongly fermented.

However, neither George Lucas nor Catherine Kennedy, nor Hugo Lancaster, when confronted by reporters, refused to talk about the topic and did not respond. But the uncrowned kings persevered and were never willing to give up, and in the end, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the clues were still captured.

Dawes Carter, who relied on Michael Jackson to clarify the incident and became famous in one fell swoop, once again unearthed the deep insider, which heated up the whole topic again.

Dawes has received reliable information that Hugo has a good chance of playing the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi! Although the news was not confirmed by George Lucas, the attitude within Lucasfilm was very positive, and positive hints were given, if not explicitly.

Fans who really know the "Star Wars" series will know that Obi-Wan is the master of Anakin Skywalker, and personally trained him to become a Jedi, although Obi-Wan died in the first part of the series, but this role runs through the beginning and end of the series of films, and Obi-Wan still appears as the guide of Luke Skywalker, leading Luke into the world of Jedi.

It is worth mentioning that Obi-Wan was killed by the Black Warrior in a head-to-head draw with the Black Warrior Darth Vader. Later, it became known that the Black Warrior was Anakin who had fallen into darkness. In other words, Anakin killed his master with his own hands, and why Anakin, who once led the Jedi to create brilliance, fell into darkness and became a black knight, and also became an opponent of his master and his own son, this has always been the most curious question for fans.

Now, Hugo is likely to star in Obi-Wan, and the change in the relationship between him and Anakin is bound to become one of the important highlights of the series. This immediately sparked countless heated discussions.

Some people wonder why Hugo didn't play the lead role of Anakin Skywalker, although Hugo is thirty years old this year, there is no problem playing this role; Some people are curious about who will play the protagonist Anaquin and start a rivalry with Hugo; Some people questioned whether the role of Obi-Wan was too young to be filled by the heavy responsibilities of Obi-Wan. Others discussed what kind of qualities Hugo would give to the character of Obi-Wan to add color to the series.

In an instant, everyone fell into a frenzy of discussion, enthusiastically expressing their opinions, as if Hugo had already confirmed that he was about to star in the "Star Wars prequel".

Although Dawes's "grapevine" is still not officially recognized, in fact, such detailed news shows one thing from the side: whether Hugo is sure to star in the "Star Wars Prequel" series, the authenticity of this matter has skyrocketed, at least it shows that Hugo has indeed been in contact with Lucasfilm, or Lucasfilm has listed Hugo as one of the candidates.

Just look at the reactions of "Star Wars" fans, for Hugo's joining, there are excitement, anger, rejection, and anticipation...... All sorts of ideas abound on the North American continent, but what is certain is that almost everyone believes that Hugo's joining the "Star Wars" is a sure thing - because in their eyes, no one can refuse the "Star Wars" appeal, and no one can refuse Hugo's joining.

Since the grapevine came out, the calm Robert Iger naturally knew about the follow-up developments. As the helm of a large company, it is essential to not be surprised, and Robert will not panic, but after the news of Dawes appeared, Robert was a little unable to sit still, mainly because the advantages of the "supernatural sixth sense" were wiped out in front of "Star Wars", and this project maintained his and David Vogel's huge plan, and he had to be cautious.

However, Robert still held his composure, and did not make any immediate moves, but called Catherine and asked about the details of the day - when the news first came out, it was because Catherine and Hugo met that day, so Robert needed to know the details of the day.

Catherine still did not leak, explained the situation of the day in detail, and she also said that Hugo was indeed very interested in this project, except for the fact that "Hugo has nodded yes", everything is true.

Then Robert called Knight again, and the news he got made no difference, except that Knight said that Hugo was very interested in joining the "Sixth Sense", and even verbally agreed. However, Knight's excitement and excitement weakened the reference value for Robert, who thought that Knight wanted to cooperate with Hugo too much and took Hugo's polite words seriously. Especially when all of Knight's and Catherine's information is consistent, Robert is even more sure that Knight has misjudged.

After confirming the news, Robert made a few more phone calls to learn more about the information, and found that although Lucasfilm did not give a 100% positive answer, it was ambiguous. Behind the ambiguity lies a positive mindset – which coincides with what the media has exposed.

This suddenly made Robert's heart chuckle, and he naturally knew that until the Hollywood project was 100% certain, industry insiders would maintain such a vague opinion, just like Lucasfilm.

Regardless of whether Hugo ends up starring in "Star Wars Prequels", even if it is just a possibility, Robert has no way to withstand such a possibility. He planned for half a year, but it was not for the last moment. The "Psychic Sixth Sense" is only the first domino, and if the first one is not successfully pushed - let alone trigger the second one.

Robert was lost in thought.

Rick sat in his office, busy with his work, but in the middle of it, he subconsciously glanced up at the landline on his desk, and in just a few milliseconds, he retracted his gaze again, as if the action of looking up didn't make any sense at all. Even Rick himself was unaware of such a move.

Within a few minutes, Rick actually looked up at the landline again, and this time Rick realized his movements, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed dumbly. For the past few days, he had been waiting for Robert's call, but he had never arrived.

Rick knows that this is a patient struggle.

George Lucas did contact Hugo before, and it was indeed for the "Star Wars prequel" thing, George mainly talked to Hugo about character building.

As we all know, George's biggest shortcoming is the character creation and plot connection, although the "Star Wars" series has created a magnificent and wonderful space world, but the wonderful story has not been able to connect with the characters, whether it is Luke Skywalker or Black Knight, or Master Yoda, Han Solo, etc., these characters are not full enough, and even seem a little fragmented.

And Hugo's best part is character building and line skills. George and Hugo met three times, mainly to discuss the details of the characters. However, at the end of the conversation, George also jokingly asked Hugo if he would like to play the important role of Anakin Skywalker, and Hugo naturally did not take it seriously.

As many people believe, letting Hugo star in the "Star Wars prequel" is actually noisy, but it will weaken the overall situation of this wonderful story.

This time, when the "Psychic Sixth Sense" project competition reached a critical moment, Rick thought of the "Star Wars prequel", and after obtaining George's consent, Rick discussed it in detail with David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, and came up with this plan: release false news to blur his vision.

With the fermentation of news, the golden sign of "Star Wars" will put all the pressure on Robert, even the scheming Robert will become more and more anxious, but as long as Robert survives a pass, it will be found that there will be a fault in the follow-up development of the cooperation news of the "Star Wars Prequel", and the relevant news cannot keep up. Then Rick will need to make another move to extend the advantage, otherwise Robert will know that this is just a trap.

Now, Rick is betting that Robert is the more urgent party to this partnership.

But even Rick, who has been through countless storms and waves, is inevitably a little impetuous, because he knows very well how important this cooperation is for DreamWorks and for Endeavor elite agency - especially under the pattern of changing the entire film market.

Rick simply put the pen in his hand on the table, leaned back in the chair, let his limbs relax slightly, and let out a long breath, emptying his entire mind and clearing all thoughts for the time being. Suddenly he began to think: what to eat for lunch?

Hamburg? Pizza? Middle. Chinese food takeaway? Chaclos?

"Jingle bell", the landline suddenly rang, disrupting all Rick's thoughts, he sat up straight, looked left and right, and then pressed the answer button in a panic, and his assistant Jim Snow's voice came, "Rick, Robert Iger's phone is on the second line." ”

Rick was stunned, then burst out laughing, he really thought this kind of scene was ridiculous. The light laugh also confused Jim, "Rick? Rick immediately collected his thoughts and coughed lightly, "It's okay, you take the phone." ”

Rick took a deep breath to adjust his emotions, then picked up the phone and pressed the number two button, "Bob, this is Rick." "Turning the tide is here.
