Chapter 879 879 Bet Geometry

The premiere of "Life and Death" was a disaster, first the Houston incident, then the "New York Post" box office bet, which led to a joint media ban, plus 20th Century Fox missed the opportunity and failed to grab it. middle. The National Theater, which has not been optimistic about the "speed of life and death", is even more in a dilemma.

Therefore, 20th Century Fox invited Alex to be the host, to avoid the reporter's questions on the red carpet from damaging the atmosphere of the scene, and to control the entire interview rhythm on the red carpet stage. As for the attack of the reporters, they will stay after the premiere of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", and then bombard them wildly.

Originally, 20th Century Fox needed to review the list of reporters who attended the red carpet, but now because of the so-called block time, it is no longer easy for them to invite the media to attend, and it is even more impossible to filter the media. Therefore, the reporters at the scene are naturally uneven, and this is the unexpected situation that the reporter interrupts Alex's interview.

Although Alex is only a guest host, he is not a rookie who has just entered the industry. He still wants to stop the reporter's question at the first time and continue to bring the topic back, but the unexpected situation occurs again, Hugo To actually take the initiative to respond, this really caught Alex by surprise.

Hugo didn't know the reporter in front of him. To be precise, he didn't know most of the reporters in front of him, so he naturally didn't know that the person in front of him was Colin Meyer himself.

As the editor-in-chief, Colin has long since stopped running the news, and he is more often at the helm of the office. But this time is very special. On the one hand, it is because the old and new hatred between him and Hugo is too complicated. He wants to see Hugo's ability on the spot, especially Anthony Bond Stewart's fear makes He is also full of curiosity about Hugo; on the other hand, because almost all the well-known reporters of the "New York Post" are recognized by 20th Century Fox, in order to avoid being seen on the cusp of this "media ban", They certainly can't show up on their own initiative, and Twentieth Century Fox is bound to stop it.

Therefore, Colin, who belongs to a strange face, appeared on the scene. He has not appeared on the front line of interviews for nearly ten years. This feeling is too strange yet so familiar.

When Colin asked a question, he felt that his sword was not old, and there were two traps hidden in a question, one was "fans" and the other was "handling". The former blurred the identity of the perpetrator and the moral standards. ; the latter blurs the solution and increases the cruelty of the means to highlight Hugo's cold blood.

Colin felt that Hugo would definitely not be able to handle it - even if he could, he would be in a hurry.

But I didn't expect that when Hugo said, "What do you expect my answer to be?" Colin was stunned, and everyone's eyes gathered in an instant, making Colin, who had long been accustomed to playing tricks and conspiracies behind the scenes. The white cheeks turned red in an instant: the first-line eye-knife is completely different from social situations. There are no falsehoods and falsehoods at the interview site, only real guns and live ammunition, because there may be no news if it is half a beat.

Hugo didn't know that Colin's "interview skills" were already rusty, and he couldn't express his thoughts in the first place. Hugo just continued, "You expect me not to file a lawsuit because the other party is a fan. Well, do you still expect me to use the power in my hand to interfere with the results of the police's handling?" Hugo didn't hide anything, and revealed all the meaning of Colin's words, which caused an uproar at the scene.

At this time, the fans standing on both sides of the red carpet understood immediately, and immediately began to protest, "Grass! Garbage reporter! Disgusting! Shameless!", "Shameless old widow who took off his pants and bought his butt, you are full of mouths. It's spraying manure!"... One after another unpleasant words swarmed.

Colin has been able to remain calm after hearing words ten times and a hundred times more vicious than this, but today he couldn't hold back his anger! Because...it's really too embarrassing! He suddenly regretted coming to the front line, he no longer belonged here.

"I'm just an ordinary person, so I believe in the solution and the final result of the Houston police." Hugo finally replied, without excessive anger, but without a trace of concession and compromise. This neither humble nor arrogant attitude caused a cheer among the fans, and the astute reporter immediately recorded the situation at the scene.

Everyone thought it was over, Hugo also looked away, and Alex's next sentence continued without any pause, "So are you all okay now?"

But before Hugo could answer, Colin raised his voice unwillingly and asked, "Hugo, do you think the box office of 'Life and Death' can break through the 100 million threshold?" Colin appeared at the scene, and the Houston incident was just incidental. The box office issue is the core.

Since the box office problem is closely related to the "speed of life and death", as soon as Colin's words came out, all the reporters on the scene turned their attention to Hugo, which was also the issue they were most concerned about. What's more, this is the scene of "speed of life and death", and Hugo cannot avoid it.

Alex is not worried about this. After any movie is released, the box office is an unavoidable issue. Although the reporter in front of him is a bit aggressive, Alex believes that Hugo can give a perfect answer. Kind words like "If it can, then it would be better", "We are all looking forward to such a result, and whether it can be achieved depends on the audience".

But before Hugo spoke, Colin went on to say, "If the movie box office can't break the 100 million threshold, are you willing to accept interviews with journalists? You are willing to apologize for the rude behavior of refusing interviews in the past few months. ?" He obviously didn't want Hugo to answer lightly, which was the highlight of the New York Post article.

When Hugo heard this sentence, he suddenly realized that Rick also mentioned this matter to him today, saying that the "New York Post" had bad intentions and left an impression on Hugo.

"I refuse to be interviewed? Then what am I doing now?" Hugo retorted lightly, which made many people at the scene laugh, "Are you saying that I refuse all interviews with reporters, or the 'New York Post' Interview?" Colin wanted to win over other reporters as an ally, but Hugo didn't give him a chance, and directly pointed out the "New York Post".

As soon as Colin rolled his eyes, he wanted to continue talking. He could totally put a hat on Hugo, thinking that Hugo despised the media.

But Hugo was still half a beat faster than Colin. "Is it a bet for me to be interviewed by the New York Post?"

Colin had to change the content of the words that came to his mouth, "What?" He obviously didn't react.

"Didn't you just say that if the box office exceeds 100 million, you will let me be interviewed by the 'New York Post' and asked me to apologize." In fact, Colin did not admit that he was the "New York Post" at all, but he was arrested by Hugo Putting on the hat like this, Colin has unknowingly lost the advantage, "So, is this a bet?"

Although Colin's sensitivity to the front line has dropped a lot, he is still capable. He also sensed his disadvantage, so he immediately straightened his back and shouted, "Yes, this is a bet! I Just betting on the box office of 'Life and Death' can't break through 100 million!" Colin is very cunning, "The New York Post" clearly wrote that the box office hit the cost line, but he was closely watching the 100 million US dollars at the scene. You know, nine In the early 1900s, breaking 100 million at the box office was not an easy task. This is also the reason why Hugo has been able to rise so quickly, a feat he has achieved in three consecutive works in the past.

"Then, what about your bet?" Hugo didn't care at all, and retorted back in a lighthearted manner. This made Colin at a loss for words. He only thought of provoking Hugo, and only thought of his own success, but ignored another result. . Seeing that Colin didn't speak, Hugo continued, "What if the movie box office exceeds 100 million? Then, what are your bets?"

Colin's words came to his lips, but Hugo didn't give him a chance, "I will never be interviewed by the 'New York Post' for the rest of my life?" When an artist and a media are divided, people generally interpret it as the media banning the artist, and " The New York Post is still the top ten best-selling newspapers in the United States, and it is even more "banned". But now that Hugo was the first to say it, it became that he blocked the "New York Post", and the whole taste was different.

Colin stood there, his anger was about to skyrocket, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal for a while, which made him very aggrieved.

At this time, the red carpet was noisy again, and Leonardo DiCaprio appeared, with a bright smile on his face, showing his good mood, and the fans at the scene also showed enthusiasm The screams and shouts of Leonardo's welcome. Colin was drowned out by the screams of the mountain and tsunami in an instant, but no one cared with a look of anger.

Leonardo quickly walked to the end of the red carpet and saw Hugo and Alex. He trotted over in three steps, then jumped up and pressed down on Hugo's shoulders, hooking on the way. Hugo's neck gave Hugo a strong hug and smiled brilliantly.

Facing Leonardo who was like a monkey, Hugo didn't give Colin another look, he looked up at Alex and said, "I regret it, I should have insisted on using you to be with me. partner."

Leonardo immediately shouted, "Hey! How is this possible! I'm your best partner, isn't it?"

Colin instantly became a neglected existence, but Alex was very cooperative with Hugo, ignoring Colin and Leonardo, and nodded with a smile, "Is that so? think so too.”

"Hugo Lancaster! Are you going to abandon my partner before the movie is released? This is not a wise decision." Leonardo immediately began to grit his teeth.

But Hugo laughed and said, "So after the movie is released, will there be no problem?" Leonardo was stunned by a retort, and all the fans at the scene laughed.

"I'm starting to wonder now what's going on with the duo in the movie, and in their current form, I think they might be fighting each other because of infighting, and they deal with each other before the enemy deals with them. "Alex said helplessly, causing many people at the scene to clapp their hands and applaud, and some even began to whistle.

This made Hugo and Leonardo very helpless. They rolled their eyes and turned around and walked towards Sandra, leaving Alex behind.

Seeing Alex who was alone and abandoned, everyone was instantly happy.

And Colin, who was standing alone in the crowd, was also forgotten, but he couldn't laugh. On the contrary, his teeth were about to bite. "Where's your bet?" slapped his shoulder, making him unable to breathe.
