1994 Chapter 1994 Turning the Situation Around

Since the "San Francisco Chronicle" broke the news, it has become the hottest topic in the near future, mainly because people are expecting that the collision between Hugo and the "Star Wars" series will burst out again. "Independence Day" or "Titanic"-level box office; combined with the recent momentum of the overall topic, this topic is even more intensely fermented.

However, whether it was George Lucas or Katherine Kennedy, or Hugo Lancaster, when facing reporters, they refused to talk about this topic and did not respond. But the uncrowned kings persevered and were still unwilling to give up. In the end, the emperor paid off, and the clues were still caught.

Daws Carter, who became famous in one fell swoop by relying on Michael Jackson to clarify the incident, once again unearthed a deep inside story, which heated up the discussion on the whole topic again.

Dawes got reliable news that Hugo is very likely to play the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi! Although this news has not been confirmed by George Lucas, the internal attitude of Lucasfilm is very positive, even if it is not explicitly stated, it also gives positive hints.

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

It is worth mentioning that Obi-Wan was killed by the Darth Vader in a head-on draw with the Darth Vader. And later everyone knew that the black warrior was Anakin who had fallen into darkness. In other words, Anakin killed his master with his own hands. Why did Anakin, who once led the Jedi Knights to create glory, fall into darkness and become a black warrior, and became an enemy with his master and his son? , This has always been the most curious question of movie fans.

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

Some people wonder why Hugo didn't play the leading role of Anakin Skywalker. Although Hugo is 30 years old this year, there is no problem playing this role; some people are curious, who will play the leading role of Anakin Jin, started a rivalry with Hugo; some people questioned that the role of Obi-Wan is a heavy responsibility, is Hugo too young to play it? 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 frenzied discussion, expressing their opinions enthusiastically, as if Hugo had already confirmed that he would star in the "Star Wars Prequel".

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

Just look at the reactions of the fans of "Star Wars". For Hugo's joining, there are excitement, anger, repulsion, and anticipation... All kinds of ideas are flooding the North American continent, But what is certain is that almost everyone believes that Hugo joining "Star Wars" is a sure thing-because in their eyes, no one can refuse the appeal of "Star Wars", and no one can refuse Join Hugo.

Since the gossip came out, the calm Robert Iger naturally knew about the follow-up development. As the helm of a large company, calmness is an essential element, and Robert will not panic, but after Dawes's news appeared, Robert couldn't sit still, mainly because of the advantage of "sixth sense". There is nothing left in front of "Star Wars", and this project maintains his and David Vogel's huge plan, and he has to be careful.

However, Robert still held his breath, and did not take any action immediately. Instead, he called Catherine and asked about the details of the day. When the news first came out, it was because of the meeting between Catherine and Hugo that day, so Robert needed to find out. The specifics of the day.

Catherine was still impeccable and explained the situation that day in detail. She also said that Hugo was really interested in this project. Except for the fact that "Hugo has already nodded and agreed", everything is true.

Then Robert called Knight again, and the news he got was the same, 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. He thought that Knight wanted to cooperate with Hugo too much, and took Hugo's polite words seriously. Especially when all the information of Knight and Catherine are consistent, Robert is more sure that Knight is wrong in judgment.

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 vague. Behind the ambiguous attitude are hidden positive thoughts-this coincides with what the media broke the news.

This suddenly made Robert's heart skip a beat. He naturally knew that people in the industry would maintain such vague views on Hollywood projects before they were 100% sure, just like Lucasfilm.

Regardless of whether Hugo will eventually star in the "Star Wars prequel", even if it is only a possibility, Robert has no way to bear such a possibility. He had been planning for half a year, not for the sake of falling short at the last moment. The "sixth sense of spirituality" is just the first piece of dominoes. If the first piece is the first one, there is no way to push it successfully—let alone trigger the second piece.

Robert was lost in thought.

Rick was sitting in the office, busy with the work in hand, but when he found time, he subconsciously looked up at the landline on his desk, and within a few milliseconds, he retracted his gaze again, as if looking up This action doesn't make any sense at all in general. Even Rick himself was unaware of his actions.

Within a few minutes, Rick actually looked up at the landline again. This time Rick realized his actions, he couldn't help but froze, and then burst out laughing. In the past few days, he has been waiting for Robert's call, but he has never waited.

It was a struggle of patience, Rick knew.

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

As we all know, George's biggest shortcoming is character creation and plot connection. Although the "Star Wars" series has created a magnificent and wonderful space world, there is no connection with the characters in the wonderful stories, whether it is Luke-Tian Walker or Black Samurai, or Master Yoda, Han Solo, etc., these characters are not full enough, and even seem a bit fragmented.

The part that Hugo is best at lies in character creation and line skills. George and Hugo met three times before and after, mainly talking about the details of the characters. But at the end of the conversation, George also jokingly asked Hugo if he would like to play the important role of Anakin Skywalker, but Hugo naturally didn't take it seriously.

As many opinions believe, letting Hugo star in the "Star Wars Prequel" is actually a distraction, but it will weaken the overall situation of this wonderful story.

This time, when the competition for the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" project reached a critical moment, Rick thought of "Star Wars Prequel". After obtaining George's consent, Rick, David Geffen and Jeffrey Carson After discussing in detail, Berg came up with this strategy: release false news to blur his vision.

With the fermentation of the news, the golden signboard of "Star Wars" will push all the pressure on Robert. Even the wily and calculating Robert will become more and more anxious, but as long as Robert gets through a hurdle, he will find that, " There will be faults in the follow-up development of the cooperation news of "Star Wars Prequel", and relevant news cannot keep up. Then Rick will need to make another move in order to continue his advantage, otherwise Robert will know that this is just a trap.

Now, Rick's bet is that Robert is the more urgent party to this cooperation.

But even Rick, who has gone through countless ups and downs, is inevitably a little impetuous now, because he clearly knows how important this cooperation is to DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company—especially in the entire movie. Under the pattern of market change and dynasties.

Rick simply put the pen in his hand on the table, leaned back on the chair, let his limbs relax a little, let out a long breath, cleared his whole mind, and temporarily cleared all thoughts. Suddenly he started thinking: What's for lunch?

Hamburger? Pizza? middle. Chinese takeaway? Tortillas?

"Ding ding ding", the landline phone rang suddenly, disrupting all Rick's thoughts, he sat up straight at once, looked around, and then pressed the answer button in a panic, his assistant Jim- Snow's voice came over, "Rick, Robert Iger's phone is on the second line."

Rick froze for a moment, then burst out laughing. He really felt that this scene was extremely ridiculous. The brisk laughter also confused Jim, "Rick?" Rick immediately collected his thoughts and coughed twice, "It's okay, you put the phone in."

Rick took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, then picked up the phone and pressed the number two button, "Bob, this is Rick." Turning the situation around, it's a gamble.
