Chapter 1595: 1595

Colin Meiler was heartbroken at this time, because he knew that about "Independence Day", about Hugo, he must report, because this is not only the biggest hot spot in Hollywood, but also the biggest focus of the whole society, The New York Post will look like a fool if it misses the topic.

But the problem is that even if Hugo is reported, it is difficult for the New York Post to make a profit in sales, because this time almost all media are reporting, without exception. If Hugo's exclusive interview is not available, all media reports are the same, and it is naturally difficult to stand out.

Now here's the problem: Hugo was definitely reluctant to be interviewed by the New York Post.

In fact, the gambling game set off by the "speed of life and death" has long been forgotten by people. In the well-informed modern society, after reading the joke, everyone will not care what happened to the "New York Post". But Colin knew that Hugo would never forget—even if Hugo did, Joseph and Rick beside him would remind him, because the "New York Post" is the chicken that kills the chicken, that game Losing means there will be no interviews after that.

Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company will basically reject any form of interview with official rhetoric as long as it hears a call from the "New York Post". What is even more frightening is that it is not just Hugo, but all the artists under Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. Both declined to be interviewed by the New York Post.

This is nothing at all, after all, there are more than 100,000 actors in Hollywood, and only a few dozen in the Endeavour Elite Agency. But in this history-making "Independence Day" propaganda process, the "New York Post" has completely become cannon fodder -- it's stunned that it can't get any news.

Because of this incident, Colin has received two phone calls from the head office one after another, and the situation is really bad.

So now the situation is, even if Colin knew that Hugo would definitely not be interviewed, even if Colin didn't want to contact Hugo at all, even if the New York Post published Hugo's interview, it would not benefit, but... He still had to do it, and he had to do it with all his might. This made Colin almost fainted.

"Editor-in-chief, what should we do?" The editor next to him said timidly. Colin took a deep breath, took a deep breath after burning the fire, but still couldn't control his anger, he could only say through gritted teeth, "Continue calling , and send someone to Los Angeles to find their company directly! This exclusive interview must be obtained!"

"USA Today" is almost considered to be the vanguard of the boycott of Hugo, but at this time their situation is not much better than that of "New York Post". "The boss said, if you can't get Hugo's exclusive interview, this year's The year-end bonus will be halved. For God's sake, look in your phone book and see if you can find the right contacts. Even a makeup artist, hair stylist or assistant around Hugo can do it, I just need one A chance to get close to Hugo! Damn Jesus!"

In the office of the editor-in-chief of the San Francisco Chronicle, it was roaring, "I don't care, if Rick, Joseph, and Samora don't work, then go and surround Charlize's, Leonardo's, Cameron's, Even if we don't compromise, we must win this interview!"

In the conference room of the "Chicago Tribune", a group of people looked at each other, and finally chuckled and joked, "Who knows, everything is still unknown until the exact news of this interview is obtained, so why can't the winner be us? "

The atmosphere in the editorial department of The New York Times was also solemn. "Can't you give the big boss a call and ask him to ask Hugo out? Even if you can't ask Hugo directly, you can find Spielberg, and then ask Hugo to come out. Everyone comes out for a meal, and the interview is done. If we don’t, it’s hard for us to compete with the West Coast in this competition.”

But in fact, the so-called West Coast is not much better at this time, and the editorial department of the "Los Angeles Times" is also gloomy and gloomy, "Nicholas can't get a positive answer, it seems that Rick is sincerely trying to make everyone's appetite. . But we can't give up. Once we relax, others will take the lead. How important this interview is to us, there is no need to go into details. This is a battle that cannot be allowed to lose!"

In an exclusive interview, the top ten newspapers in the United States are competing, the top ten magazines in the United States are competing, and the top ten radio stations in the United States are competing. To be precise, the top 100 news media in the United States Everyone is competing, everyone knows that this is the moment when history is made, and this exclusive interview is the moment when they reveal history, and no one wants to miss it.

With the dawn of the hope that "Independence Day" will hit the 500 million box office, all the news media are boiling. At this moment of witnessing history, every media hopes to become the quill that writes history. Such a grand momentum may be the most glorious scene in Hollywood since the release of "Gone with the Wind".

This kind of grand occasion, even those old Hollywood bones may not really experience it. After all, "Gone with the Wind" is a work from 1940. At present, most of the big bosses of major Hollywood film companies are under the age of fifty-five. They were not even born at that time, so naturally they couldn't really feel the prosperity of "Gone with the Wind" when it was released.

Barry Mayer kept banging on the table in front of him, listening to the subordinates in front of him reporting on the operation of the company, but his attention was not here at all, and suddenly he planned the words of his subordinates and spoke coldly Said, "You said, what kind of script can impress Hugo?"

This sentence caused the office to fall into silence. To be honest, this is a question that the whole of Hollywood is asking, but no one can answer it. Barry obviously did not intend to get an answer, but was silent for a while, and said again, "Give the script of 'Batman and Robin' to Rick again, and tell him that the script can be changed according to Hugo's ideas. "

"But Joe's..." Here it says yes Joe Schumacher.

Barry directly raised his hand to stop the following words, "If necessary, it's okay to replace him." The decision was made lightly, and you can clearly feel the decisiveness in Barry's words, "In addition, organize a meeting. , find out all the scripts that are suitable for Hugo, we will have a meeting to discuss in detail, Warner Bros. must cooperate with Hugo on a work, there is no room for negotiation."

Shirley Lansing is enjoying lunch with Kevin Burns at the moment, the two heads of Hollywood's top film production companies, who can make Hollywood tremble with a stomping, recently collaborated with "Titanic" No.”, the number of meetings has also been much more frequent. However, the topic of discussion between the two today is not the "Titanic" that is being filmed, but the Hugo who made history.

"Did you expect Hugo to achieve such a great achievement?" Xue Li asked with a smile. Of course, she was not interviewing like a reporter, but just chatting with friends.

Shirley is saying that when Kevin insisted on cooperating with Hugo, and even launched the cooperation between 20th Century Fox and Endeavour Elite Agency, this vision is unique to Hollywood. Paramount once had the opportunity to cooperate with Rain. If I cooperated with "Mission Impossible", it was a pity that it didn't happen. It's not that Tom Cruise is not good - his performance is already amazing, but in the face of such a result of "Independence Day", no one can help but be surprised.

Even the top figures in their industry have difficulty keeping their cool.

Kevin showed a smile and could see his happy mood, "If I said I expected it, I would be lying. To be honest, when I invested in 'Independence Day', I was worried that the work would fail, so I wanted to look for rain. Fruit pulls the box office. 300 million? I secretly hoped that the film would get 300 million at the box office, but things quickly got out of control.”

300 million, for any North American film, is an extremely outstanding achievement. Kevin wasn't lying, even if "Independence Day" made $300 million at the box office, it was a huge win.

"I heard that you met with David Geffen the day before yesterday?" Shirley asked calmly.

Kevin paused for a while, then showed a meaningful smile, "I didn't get any definite news. Hugo should focus on music recently." Kevin knew that Shirley was actually spying on him and Dale. Guard contact results.

Now the whole of Hollywood is paying attention to "Independence Day", but the film company bosses have once again focused their attention on Hugo. From the Oscar-winning actor to the box office success of "Independence Day", Hugo is already standing. At the top of the pyramid spire, Hugo's next move is bound to set off a bloody storm in Hollywood.

Just like Jim Carrey paid $20 million to film "The Ace Correspondent", even if this work fails, it is still a topic of conversation. What's more, Hugo has yet to miss. So, you can imagine the grand occasion at that time.

Kevin chuckled lightly, and then said, "Aren't you worried? You should know that the previous results are not on the same level as the current ones."

Although Hugo was already at the top of the Hollywood pyramid before, he has the ability to affect the trend of the whole Hollywood; but once the "Independence Day" box office exceeds 500 million, this is not a level at all, even the bosses of major film companies, Even the most senior producers, even the Wall Street consortium, will change their attitudes towards Hugo drastically. There is a big pot of gold and a cash cow, and everyone knows the difference.

Just like the attitude of the major media today, just like the attitude of the people at the helm of the major film companies, the unwavering tendency is unquestionable. Today's Hollywood can be said to be dominated by the Hugo family, completely!

Therefore, after the "Independence Day", can Hugo maintain his sanity and composure, whether Hugo can stay awake in the frenzied bombardment of the spotlight, and whether Hugo can still be persistent in the unveiling of Vanity Fair. Moving forward, this is bound to become the key to determining the future.

Shirley didn't answer Kevin's question, just smiled meaningfully, then lowered her head and started to enjoy her lunch, neither of them talked about Hugo again. No matter what happens in the future, at least Hugo is now the cash cow of the entire Hollywood, and no one will miss it.
