1894 Chapter 1894 Adding Fuel to the Fire

"No, I'm not saying I hate Hugo. How could anyone hate Hugo?" George replied with a warm smile. The person sitting opposite him was David Letterman, Jay Leno's deadly enemy. In order to promote the "Peacemaker", George appeared on "David's Late Show". During the conversation, George's humorous conversation obviously won a lot of praise. Even in the face of David's sharp questions, George was able to cope with it.

Hearing George's answer, David smiled and shook his head, "I'm not so sure." Then he looked at George meaningfully.

George was not flustered, and still had a calm smile, "No, I just think that no one in this world is perfect, and the media's portrayal of Hugo is so perfect that it makes people feel unreal, as if he is Characters that exist in the world of fairy tales. For me, I hope to know the real Hugo and see his private face, so that it really exists.”

For example, the history of Hugo and Tracy has never been really discussed. Hugo did so many bad things to Tracy, and even ruined Tracy's career with his own hands, but no one cared, just because Hugo was successful, and Tracy was a loser, so everyone was in Chasing after Hugo, Tracy disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

George naturally put his hands on his thighs, crossed them together, and then gently pressed his thumbs with his nails, controlling his emotions and preventing the turmoil in his heart from leaking out of his eyes and voice.

"So, you are saying that Hugo is hypocritical." David grabbed George's sore foot and refused to let go. Although David doesn't like Hugo either, he never publicly stated that there is absolutely nothing wrong with ridicule, sarcasm, and humor. David often does this, but "hate" such strong emotions, David Not so stupid to show it and get yourself into trouble.

Today's George is already personable, elegant and calm, but compared to the old fritters who deal with the media many years later, the current George has not yet completed his training, so when faced with such a direct answer from the wily and calculating David, George, who was already surging in his heart He couldn't help feeling a little flustered, he laughed dryly, his palms were constantly sweating, but he couldn't speak for a while. This short gap is enough for reporters to make a fuss.

After thinking about it, George continued, "No, I won't use such strong emotional words, but the fact is, Hugo and I are indeed not friends." George paused deliberately, and then continued, " I have never had the chance to meet Hugo in person."

George originally intended to be humorous. He and Hugo had never met directly, let alone friends. But George was a little flustered just now, and he said this a little dryly, it seems that the humor effect did not come out at all, but it seemed to be a war card for Hugo.

Here is the problem, David didn't answer the conversation, but looked at George with a half-smile, which made George's heart tighten, he touched his nose uncomfortably, then cleared his throat, and explained, "I'm Said, if there is a chance to meet Hugo, I will take the initiative to introduce myself."

But this explanation is more like trying to cover up, especially when the scene is completely silent, which makes George a little uneasy, but reason tells him to stay calm at this time, so that he can get through this test, but at this time he Still lacking some concentration, he couldn't help touching his nose twice, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

David finally showed a smile at this time, and then said, "So what do you expect for the box office of this movie? We are all looking forward to it now. This weekend, whether to choose George Clooney or Hugo - Lancaster?"

Finally, George came back to his senses. He had already prepared for this question, so he smiled, "I can only hope that you have fourteen dollars in your pocket." Enough cash to buy two movie tickets.

This sentence would definitely make everyone laugh, but it is a pity that George's smile is a little stiff. Although the words are relaxed, they do not have the comfort of ease. It can be felt that George is obviously beyond recovery. Fortunately, David did not continue to press the question, but changed the subject, which gave George breathing space and gradually recovered.

For David, it is enough that today's program can benefit from this.

Sure enough, after the broadcast of this episode of "David's Late Show", it undoubtedly further heated up the current media's hot discussion about the showdown between George and Hugo. George's behavior can be said to add fuel to the fire and completely ignite the topic. And the New York Post once again stole the show.

"The first person to challenge Hugo-Lancaster: George Clooney", this report completely detonated the topic. In the report, they said that George bravely challenged Hugo. The hegemony of the entire United States expressed weariness and rejection of the media's indiscriminate praise of Hugo. And more importantly, George is qualified to overthrow the Hugo dynasty, and the next Hollywood is bound to witness a battle between dragons and tigers.

This report by the "New York Post" not only sold four million copies, making Colin Meile happy; Hugo and George are put together for a direct comparison, and the strengths and weaknesses of the two are analyzed from various aspects. The result of "Entertainment Weekly" analysis is naturally that Hugo has the upper hand, but they believe that it is entirely possible for George to replicate Hugo's miracle - and even surpass Hugo to achieve more brilliant achievements.

This is undoubtedly very absurd: because the current George has nothing to compare with Hugo in terms of career, the two people are simply not comparable.

But "Entertainment Weekly" still made a big deal and analyzed it in a logical manner. But the fact is that everyone cast their eyes curiously, discussing enthusiastically which of these two actors is better, not to mention women and homosexuals, even men will discuss who is more worthy of admiration and admiration.

The "Entertainment Weekly" feature also inspired the "San Francisco Chronicle", and they also did a feature that analyzed the results of the week's win and loss between "The Peacemaker" and "LA Confidential". The San Francisco Chronicle puts forward a bold hypothesis: "The Peacemaker," which made $20 million in its debut, takes "LA Confidential," which fell more than 50 percent, to become the No. Weekend box office champion.

No matter how authoritative the "San Francisco Chronicle" topic is, it is undeniable that it has indeed aroused countless controversies, and everyone is talking about this topic enthusiastically: George and Hugo, "Peacemakers" and "LA Confidential" even involves today's top actors including Tom and Brad. Who is better and who is more influential has become the hottest focus of discussion this week.

This also started to warm up for the release of "Peacemaker", and the invisible publicity effect was eye-catching. Even though George later clarified his remarks on "David's Late Show" at the premiere of the movie, this time George clearly explained what he meant at the beginning, and the media correctly published the statement under the urging of Universal Pictures. A clarification, but to no avail.

All the viewers couldn't be more clear about the pattern of "George VS Hugo", and their enthusiasm is close to the original "Brad VS Hugo", thinking that this group of duels will burst out even more exciting sparks - because George does not fall behind in all-round competition, especially the acting part, which is also Brad's biggest shortcoming, including Tom Cruise. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the outcome of this duel.

Even if "Peacemaker" and "LA Confidential" are two completely different types of movies, there is no comparison at all; even if Hugo never mentioned George in an interview, George denied the so-called duel relationship; "The Confidential" is in its second week, and "The Peacemakers" premieres this week...  

None of this can stop the enthusiasm of the audience, eagerly looking forward to the chemical reaction between George and Hugo in this duel.

On September 26th, under the spotlight of all eyes, the "Peacemaker" is coming. George Clooney and Nicole Kidman will challenge the dominance of "LA Confidential"! This also caused countless suspense in the North American weekend box office rankings this week.

"Peacemaker" was the first to debut, but it was a pity that it was a hit. After the first batch of film reviews came out, everyone was disappointed. The "New York Post" with the highest score only gave it 70 points, and 20 professional media The average score is as low as 43 points, which is a disaster for any type of film, which undoubtedly shows that professional critics are almost full of criticism on this work.

Of course, for commercial films, poor media reviews are not a matter of life and death, but theater scores are more important, because this is the audience's direct feedback on the film, which is related to the next box office trend. There have been many films in history where the media reviews were terrible, but the audience was very supportive and achieved great success at the box office. This is also the ultimate proposition for finding a balance between commercial films and art films.

But George Clooney is destined to be disappointed. The theater score is only "C", which is barely a pass. It can be seen that after the overwhelming publicity, people have high expectations for the movie. This is an absolute double. Edged sword -- if the movie can meet the high expectations of "LA Confidential", it will completely detonate the box office; otherwise, it will be a disaster, and the critics will pour in with double weight.

This is George's second consecutive dud after "Batman and Robin". The bad reputation is disappointing, and it seems to confirm the sentence: TV stars and movie stars are two completely different concepts. Not to be confused. So, can "Peacemaker" take advantage of the hot topic to at least break out at the premiere box office?

This is the only problem that George has all his attention. He is too busy to take care of himself at this time. He must fold his hands and sincerely pray that the movie's opening box office will take advantage of the momentum, otherwise, this will be a disaster.
