Chapter 1551 1551 Cope with Ease

As the most high-profile couple in Hollywood, although Brad and Gwyneth have grabbed a lot of attention in the past few months, no one can deny that Hugo and Cameron are currently the most popular in Hollywood. The representative golden boy and girl, no matter where the two go, they are bound to become a beautiful picture. Today is no exception.

Unexpectedly, Hugo, who chose a lake blue round neck T-shirt with a light gray Scottish plaid suit jacket, and Cameron, who showed graceful curves and slender legs with a set of goose yellow tube top skirts, just need to go to The first stop in front of a person is the focus without a doubt, the focus within the focus.

When the two of them stepped out and walked on the red carpet, all the crowds at the scene were like wind blowing wheat waves. Hugo and Cameron were the wind, and the boundless sea of ​​people was the wheat waves. The magnificence of the Geographic Channel is comparable to that of the Helicopter hovering in the sky. They all felt the heat wave coming.

Hugo and Cameron's red carpet went very slowly, both of them greeted as many fans as possible, shaking hands, hugging, taking pictures, signing autographs, Hugo did everything in his limited time to satisfy the fans. At the request, he even stopped to talk to a little girl for two minutes, and the warm scene melted many people at the scene.

Twenty-five minutes later, when the two walked to the end of the red carpet and met Jie, Jie gave Hugo a big hug and sighed, "It's been a long journey, isn't it?"

Hugo nodded meaningfully, "Why not." Jie said that the red carpet was too long, but Hugo said that from the announcement of "Independence Day" to the present, after the two finished speaking, they caught sight of each other deep meaning, and then laughed lightly.

After expressing his welcome to Cameron, Jay took a slight step back and sighed, "Wow, there is no doubt that this is bound to cause another trend, and I'm already thinking about it the next time I record a show. I'm wearing it." Jie is teasing Hugo about Burberry. Since the opening of the flagship store in April, in the past three months, Burberry is undoubtedly the most popular luxury brand in the United States, and it is highly sought after. It can almost be described as incredible.

Hugo shrugged, "I hope your big chin can fit a round neck." A simple response made all the reporters on the scene burst into laughter.

Jie pouted, "This is a joke" clearly written between his eyebrows, but it made everyone laugh even more happily, "So, it's been very lively recently, and countless rumors are circulating, and it seems that some rumors are quite offensive. , when you came to the scene today, did you plan to make a formal response?"

Jie's remarks were completely without warning. The happiness came so suddenly that the reporters were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Jie would directly ask about the Oasis Band and Maria's provocation. They thought that Jie would take over the interview today. Rhythm, because of personal friendship, Jie will definitely not ask, but in the end, Jie gave everyone a surprise.

Hugo doesn't seem to be surprised at all, because he knows that friends are friends, but Jie's sharpness has never changed. What's more, Jie's use of this indirect and obscure way to ask questions actually left Hugo a very deep impression. Big room to play.

"Maybe it means that I have achieved some achievements in Hollywood? That's a good thing, isn't it?" Hugo's answer made even Jie stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Hugo meant. "There are a lot of popular people", Hugo's words are actually saying that the Oasis Band is just jealous of the glory to the death, so they said a lot of nonsense, but in fact, the words of the Oasis Band and Maria don't need to be taken seriously.

With just one sentence, Hugo ignored the Oasis Band and Maria lightly, and ignored them in a condescending manner. Really brilliant. Jie Du couldn't help but want to applaud Hugo, and the reporters at the scene were even more excited.

"I have always been an open-minded person, willing to accept criticism and accusations, but only if the words are right. I will not respond to those unreasonable remarks, after all, I only have one mouth." This subtext is actually talking about Oasis. And Maria is vexatious.

Compared to the accusations of Glory to Death, the rebuttals of Oasis and Maria are indeed unconvincing, especially the Gallagher brothers of Oasis, who cannot respond to their own accusations, and the accusations of Glory to Death. It's a personal attack at all, without any reference to it. Simply put, it's a bag of grass in the head.

Hugo's swearing without swear words makes people want to clap their hands and applaud. Although Hugo didn't mention Oasis or Maria or Glory to Death from beginning to end, everyone at the scene knew that this meant something, and almost everyone had to hold back their laughter.

Jie and Hugo exchanged less than three sentences before and after, but their fighting power was explosive, showing the absolute tacit understanding of these two good friends. Without waiting for the reporters to react, Jie changed the subject, "It can be seen that you have achieved good results." After speaking, Jie nodded his approval with a solemn expression. I couldn't hold back the laughter any longer, and immediately burst into laughter.

"So, 'Independence Day', the $20 million salary, have you figured out how to spend it?" Jie's question was expected, but the way he asked it made people laugh.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Have I reached the level of Rockefeller now? Can I splurge at will?"

"Uh...I don't think so." Hugo's witty answer made Jie stunned for a while, then shook his head seriously, the scene had already burst into laughter, and Cameron, who was standing beside him, had begun to lose his image. I rubbed my stomach, because my abdominal muscles were stiff with laughter. "However, as you can imagine, you are under a lot of pressure, right? What are your prospects for 'Independence Day'?"

Jay's words are actually metaphors. As we all know, there are currently two members in the 20 million club, namely Hugo and Jim Carrey. The "Ace Commissioner" who won a salary of 20 million US dollars for Jin is also the object of much attention. The film was officially released on June 14. Although the premiere ceremony at that time was not as grand as it is today, it is still not small. Look, the scene can be said to be very lively, Columbia Pictures spent a lot of thought on the promotion of this movie.

The most anticipated confrontation between "The Ace Correspondent" and "Independence Day" has not been staged. After all, these are two completely different works. No matter the subject matter or style, the two sides are not competitive. What's more, Columbia Pictures has been in I hope to have a good relationship with Hugo, and the fiasco of "Life and Death" against "Wolf" is still vivid in my mind, so finally "Ace Commissioner" is scheduled for the second week of June, three weeks earlier than "Independence Day". .

But even so, "Ace Commissioner" has attracted countless attention, and people are all looking forward to a result: is the 20 million yuan salary worth it? Is it worth it?

But the result disappointed everyone. The premiere box office of "The Ace Correspondent" was only 19 million, although this performance was already very good, enough to make it a one-week champion in the highly competitive summer season, and It still pulled the popular "Brave to the Dead Island" from the championship; but it was still disappointing, and "Brave to the Dead Island" had a total of 18 million at the box office in the next week," The championship of "Ace Special Commissioner" was a narrow victory; secondly, the topic effect of "20 million club" did not bring added value at all, which was far less than expected.

Although the investment of "Ace Commissioner" is only 47 million, it can be said to be a sky-high price for a comedy movie, not to mention that Jin's 20 million worth does not reflect the value, so Columbia Pictures Internally injured. As of this week, the cumulative box office of "Ace Commissioner" is only 54 million, and the decline has exceeded 60%. The stamina is not enough, let alone breaking 100 million, even the final box office of 80 million is very dangerous. This also brings the Hollywood debate about high returns on high investment to its peak:

Now the general view is that the investment of 100 million dollars or so should be the upper limit. The 20 million club will only continue to increase the cost, but it will not bring more profits. Instead, it will cause the film industry to start to collapse. invest. From "Tornado," "Mission Impossible," to the upcoming "Independence Day," the budgets are all around $100 million.

However, the loss of "The Ace Correspondent" cannot decide everything, because people's focus is on "Independence Day", and the 20 million club represents the added value of the top star's box office appeal, along with the rising cost of film production. ; At the same time, the perfection of computer effects has also increased the production cost. "Independence Day" only invested 100 million US dollars, which can be called a water test work. So, the success or failure of Independence Day will really put a comma on the debate about high returns on investment.

Therefore, this is what Jie said. Now everyone is looking at Hugo, and the pressure on Hugo's shoulders is absolutely beyond imagination.

Hugo is naturally clear about this situation, but he showed a relaxed smile and patted his shoulder lightly, as if to clean the dust off his shoulders, "I think the initiative is no longer in my hands. On, I will pray devoutly, 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 opposite messages, but they both showed his ease and comfort, which made the audience immediately excited, screaming wildly one by one, using his own practical experience. Actions respond to Hugo's "prayer."
