Chapter 652 652 All the Way to Hell
A major event has recently happened in Hollywood, not Uma's "accompany. Sleeping door", that incident has long been submerged in endless news along with Uma's disappearance, but a "ticket gate" incident .
The origin of the matter must begin a few days after the Golden Globes ceremony ended.
Hugo returned empty-handed for the second year in a row after he was nominated for double acting. This kind of thing doesn't happen often in Hollywood. After all, it is not easy to win double nominations for acting. It is even more difficult, but the result is nothing, which makes people embarrassed.
Looking back at Hugo's actor career, from the "Diner" in 1982 to the "Dead Poets Society" in 1989, the solid foundation of each of Hugo's works has been unanimously recognized by the insiders, although there is no Nominations for acting skills are in the arms, but they are already considered to be the potential stocks of rising stars in the entertainment industry. After all, he has such talent since he was fifteen years old, which is really eye-catching.
Then Hugo fell into a low point for three years. The failure of three consecutive works and the trophy for the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award made people sigh about the fall of a new star, but such things are entertaining. The circle is really endless, and the media sighs without too many other emotions. After all, Hugo is still far from a superstar symbol that has influenced a generation of culture like James Dean.
But who knows, then Hugo relied on the continuous explosion of his works to return to the public eye. Acting is acting, box office is box office, popularity is popularity, and everyone recalled Hugo's amazing talent when he was young again. Hugo is back in superstar orbit.
Under such circumstances, "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" and "Wind in the Sea of Righteousness" failed at the Golden Globe Awards, and were then ignored by Oscar; "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List" won the Golden Globe Awards. I hated it again. Although the Oscar nominations did not come out, people couldn't help but break a cold sweat for Hugo. The media generally believed that maybe Hugo was still accumulating character for the decadence and madness of the previous three years.
Therefore, while most of the media were embarrassed by Hugo, they could not help but sigh again. Maybe Hugo will be ignored by the Oscars again this year. Years of sinking and downturn, Hugo still needs to pay for his original downturn.
More importantly, in terms of hard power, the comedy acting skills of "Sleepless in Seattle" are indeed not popular at the Oscars, and the competition for supporting actors in "Schindler's List" is a nursing home. Hugo just turned twenty-six. It's not an easy task to make a breakthrough in the supporting actor department at a young age.
Naturally, the call for Hugo to lose the Oscar again flew in the sky in an instant, although it was also accompanied by the voices of the media arguing for Hugo-everyone believed that there was absolutely no problem with Hugo's strength winning the nomination, but the overall situation remained the same. very serious.
Tracy Jacobs knew her chance was coming!
"Schindler's List" has been winning all the way so far, especially after the misunderstanding of the "glorification of the Nazis" incident, both the Jewish group and the academy judges have a trace of guilt, which makes the already occupying The superior "Schindler's List" has been affirmed indiscriminately. Now, Hugo has almost won the hearts and minds of the entire Jewish community. It is conceivable that Hugo's future in Hollywood, with the help of the Jews, is bound to be smoothed out, and even the prospect of "Schindler's List" is greatly optimistic. .
So far, "Farewell to Youqingtian", "Farewell to Piano", and "In the Name of Father" are the only works that can compete with them. Among them, "Farewell to Piano" has restrictions on female directors, which weakens the competition "In the Name of the Father" collided with "Schindler's List" because of the adaptation of historical facts and the theme of injustice, but it was slightly inferior in ideological thickness, making the overall situation unclear; in the end, only "Farewell to Love God".
James Ivory was originally a traditional director favored by the Oscars. Last year's "Howard Manor" has left a deep impression on the academics of the college. The card of Retro England is also very popular, not to mention the theme of World War II and the long-running water. Emotional analysis, the depth of thought from the small to the big, etc., have made "Farewell to You Qingtian" the most promising work against "Schindler's List" at present.
Although it was said that when the previous film was released, "Farewell to You Qingtian" was trapped in the downturn in the box office and the shackles of rumors, and had to go offline in advance, but this did not affect the image of the film in the minds of the academy judges, as long as the later stage The publicity is well done, and "Farewell to Lovely Heaven" is still the most powerful contender for various awards.
The "farewell to sentient days" showdown against "Schindler's List" that the media has been hyping up cannot be said to be groundless.
So, Tracy took the initiative to attack, and after more than a month of silence, she finally attacked again.
This time Tracy behaved well. In order to avoid getting burned, she did not appear directly, but took a walk on the negative news about "Schindler's List". Although this method was slow to be effective, it was not authoritative and credible, compared to her Going out in person is a lot worse, but the focus is on concealment.
The negative news first questioned Steven Spielberg's actions. Rumors suggested that all of Steven's previous means were for the box office, and all his sincerity and repentance towards Jews were just hypocritical hype. Now the "Schindler's List" box office exceeds 100 million is the best proof; and the rumors also suggest that Steven claimed that all the income would be donated to establish a fund, but in fact the money still entered Steven's pocket, Apparently Steven was taking advantage of the Jews.
This kind of rumor is really vicious enough. If it is confirmed, Steven's reputation will be completely stinky, and it will even become the object of public crusade; even if it is not confirmed, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the person involved.
And this is just Tracy's first method. She then spread a group of rumors, saying that Hugo climbed all the way by relying on unspoken rules, and he used to cling to a female producer to achieve his goal. Later, for the sake of the future, he did not hesitate to meet the excessive demands of some male producers.
The rumors are very scary and ugly, and there are some details about the affair between Hugo and Tracy. This rumor even appeared on the newspaper of the "National Enquirer" for a time, which made people's jaws dislocated.
In fact, this kind of rumor circulates in Hollywood almost every day. It is not surprising at all. People in the circle will naturally make a judgment. For example, the previous incident between Lancaster and Tracy is almost an open secret in the circle; and It is also a miracle that Hugo was able to enter the "Schindler's List" crew, and it is estimated that only the parties themselves know the inside story.
So for a while, this kind of rumor was described with nose and eyes, and people in the circle were inquiring about the situation, wanting to see whether it was true or not, whether it was true or false, and who was trying to smear Steven and Hugo. It's a curious existence. However, in Hollywood, the eyes of envy, jealousy and hatred will always exist, which can only show that Hugo is really successful now, and this kind of gossip has begun to find him.
Hollywood is a closed world from a certain point of view, many news are circulated internally, and outsiders can only see flowers in the fog, but similar to Tom Cruise being gay, Julia Roberts I slept all the way to success... This kind of news is also released by certain people in the circle. Although the media will never be able to catch the evidence - or will never be willing to catch the evidence, the public is still speculating. .
But unexpectedly, this time the rumors were only spread in the circle, and did not spread. This is completely different from Tracy's previous plan. At first, Tracy thought it was Steven who blocked the news. After all, with Steven's status in the circle, now he does have the ability to completely kill these news-important The thing is, these are rumors without any proof. But to everyone's surprise, the main hero this time was Joseph Gibbs!
As Hugo's agent, Joseph has grown with Hugo's success, but after all, his qualifications are too short and his strength has not been truly verified, and he has never been prominent in the circle of agents. But this time, Joseph seemed to be staring at Tracy, like a leech. Tracy's actions had just begun, and Joseph's countermeasures began immediately.
Joseph took the lead in contacting all major media and blocked the news. Today, the media is still under the shadow of the "witch trial". In addition, Hugo is in full swing - especially the influence of the Jews, so the media is more or less. Will sell Joseph a little face. Of course, the media were not so kind and said nothing, but the media believed that it was best to investigate this incident and then announce it to the public. Therefore, the spread of rumors was left in the circle for the first time.
Subsequently, Joseph contacted Steven again and warned Steven.
Steven had noticed Tracy when he "beautified the Nazis" before, and this time he was even more furious when he learned of Tracy's actions behind her back. When Steven made his move next time, he acted resolutely, and all news in the media was completely blocked.
In fact, Tracy's rumors are untenable at all. People in the circle know the results as soon as they investigate. The claims about Steven are completely fabricated, and the claims about Hugo are only true for the female producer. But in Hollywood, it's nothing at all. Originally, the two sides are yours, and there is nothing to pursue.
If things ended here, Steven wouldn't thank Joseph specifically.
Afterwards, Joseph suggested that some people in the circle deliberately let the rumors go out and let the National Enquirer know. Sure enough, the news appeared in the newspaper that night, which made Tracy, who had suspected that her plan was exposed, was immediately relieved— —Although she was a little uneasy that the reporter was the "National Enquirer", Tracy did not expect that someone had seen through all her plans, so the "plan" unfolded according to the trajectory set by Tracy .
However, this is only the first step for Joseph. Tracy thinks that all her actions are unknowing, but she doesn't know that all her actions are under the surveillance of Joseph. Now Tracy is walking to hell step by step, but she still doesn't know it.
