Hugo was very angry.

He never liked hype, because after experiencing Uma's incident, he found that in Hollywood, everything seemed to be hyped, and even love, family, and friendship could become bargaining chips for hype. Everything was just for the sake of profit and became famous. This method made him feel uncomfortable. He was not sure, when a person even the most sincere emotions in his heart became bargaining chips for exchange of interests, then what was left of this person?

But he also knew that this is the Hollywood industry rules that no one could resist. No one could resist. Whether it was refutation, confrontation, silence, evasion, or acceptance or cooperation, it could not escape the scope of hype. As long as the media was willing to hype, any action could interpret different meanings.

So, he knew that since this was a rule, he had to learn to use it. For example, the audition party of the "007" series last year, although he knew it was hype, he attended that party in order to advance to the elite agency.

But this time, it was obvious that the hype had lost control and made everything taste like it.

Hugo knew very well that this hype must have been fueled by Paramount, otherwise so much internal news would not have been leaked so easily.

Paramount's idea is very simple. They need to focus more attention on "Mission Impossible". The competition between two top actors, Tom Cruise and Hugo Lancaster, is definitely the hottest topic, enough to attract countless attention. Once the 20 million yuan pay they offered to Hugo is achieved, this is the first thing to create the world!

In the end, no matter whether Tom or Hugo signs a contract, or even an unknown candidate who emerged halfway, Paramount can be invincible. If it is Tom or Hugo, everyone will pay attention to the winner's performance in "Mission Impossible"; if it is an unknown candidate, everyone will be curious about "who defeated the two most popular male actors today."

With these momentums, "Mission Impossible" is enough to become the biggest hot topic before filming begins.

It can be said that Paramount has made a good plan, and it is estimated that the figure of Shirley Lansing is indispensable behind the scenes. This new leader of Paramount can definitely be called a scheming. Don’t forget that the first revelation started with Shirley.

However, Paramount did not seem to have estimated that things would develop to this point, and reporters actually began to fabricate news that Hugo and Tom attacked each other, which gradually led to the development of the scandal. Or, Paramount estimated that this situation was in this situation, but they didn't care, because even if Hugo and Tom attacked each other, they would not have much direct relationship with Paramount. If things really reached an uncontrollable point, they could not sign contracts with these two people and look for new replacements.

For example, Brad Pitt.

"Daily News" once again revealed that the newly-rise Brad entered Paramount's sight and became the candidate of "Mission Impossible". Shirley met Martin Baum and Brad Pitt in person and had dinner together.

This immediately made the direction of the news interesting.

Hugo doesn't like this situation because it makes him feel like a product placed on the shelves, and you can choose, judge, rather than a person. Although Hollywood is a circle where interests are paramount, and movies are a kind of commodity, the process of packaging actors is actually similar to selling goods; however, they are humans, not real commodities, which is the most important point.

For granted, when the reporter interviewed Hugo, he was so sarcastic that he could not speak. More than 20 reporters surrounded Hugo and were speechless. "I have heard of a news source called 'secret informant', but I never knew there was a news source called 'rumor' or 'heard'." Hugo was sarcastic about these media being too lazy to even cover up. The report of the "Houston Chronicle" started with this: "I heard..."

As a national newspaper, such news reports are simply a shame. Although the so-called "secret informant" or "reliable news sources" are also not credible, at least there is still a fig leaf. But now even this fig leaf is gone, which is really a shame to the media.

"Or, do you want to hear some evidence from me?" Hugo asked back, with a very gentlemanly and kind smile on his lips, as if he was answering a simple question like "What are you going to eat for lunch today."

But more than 20 reporters looked at the smile on Hugo's face, but no one could open his mouth. In fact, they all knew that Hugo's meaning was clearer: he had never said those words, those false words, and he didn't want to respond. Those media that had no evidence to believe in nonsense were not worthy of his solemn response.

So, who dares to ask questions? Whoever speaks seems to admit that he is not mindless and speaks nonsense.

So, when the reporters faced Hugo's calm smile, they all looked away from their eyes, and their stomachs were full of problems. Anthony Bond Stewart, who was hiding in the crowd, stared at Hugo motionlessly. He gritted his teeth and never dodged. He knew that he could not be afraid of Hugo forever. He not only could not be afraid, but should also muster up the courage to fight Hugo again!

Hugo's eyes collided with Anthony, but Hugo had no special expression. When his anger reached an extreme, he calmed down completely. Hugo knew that getting angry with these people was just an internal injury, and they would only be happier. So Hugo pursed his lips slightly, outlined a curve in the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and then turned his gaze away, as if Anthony was not worth mentioning at all.

Anthony clearly saw disdain and mockery in Hugo's smile, which made him clench his teeth hard, and his fists began to tremble slightly because he tried too hard.

The cold treatment here of Hugo made the reporters feel no trouble at all, and Tom also accepted the reporter's interview as soon as possible.

Tom has always been positive and positive in Hollywood. In his long acting career, the only time he lost his image in public was to dance on the sofa on Oprah's talk show, dancing and celebrating that he was about to enter the marriage hall with Katie. But this time, he lost his character became a laughing stock, and it was the only time.

Faced with this negative news, Tom was always able to handle it gracefully and calmly. He righteously condemned the media for fabricating these news out of thin air. This was an irresponsible and unfair behavior. The Houston Chronicle, as a national newspaper, made false reports without any evidence, which was a shameful moment.

Then, Tom reiterated his friendship with Hugo with a smile, "Although we are not soul mates or brotherly friends, we are indeed friends, good friends, and every meeting we meet is very pleasant. Nicole was planning a friend party not long ago, and Hugo was one of our guests."

Obviously, in the face of the violent bombardment of reporters, Tom's handling was calm, demonstrating his sophistication and calmness accumulated over the years.

Although Hugo and Tom both denied the news as soon as possible and minimized the negative impact, due to the wrong judgment of the Houston Chronicle, things still caused a lot of turmoil. The most direct result was that the Houston Chronicle was forced to apologize for reporting without verifying the facts of the news. At the same time, they also endured the accusations of other national newspapers, which almost became the target to bear most of the harm for the "National Inquirer".

Moreover, the competition for casting about "Mission Impossible" has become increasingly fierce, and Hugo's fans and Tom's fans are almost fighting. In the era of lack of the Internet, the struggle between movie fans often seems not lively, and without the confrontation of thousands of navy troops on the Internet, the scene looks naturally much deserted; but it is more direct. Paramount has a parade in front of the branch buildings in New York and Los Angeles, and fans are willing to do it for their idols, believing that their idols are more suitable for playing "Mission Impossible".

This also makes the entire casting process more dramatic.

Hugo originally really wanted to play "Mission Impossible", but now it looks like a farce. His expectations for "Mission Impossible" are gradually decreasing. Especially Paramount's malicious hype behavior made Hugo very dissatisfied. He even complained to Rick, which made Rick very embarrassed and he couldn't control Paramount's decision.

After nearly half a month of lively fun, Hugo's idea of ​​"Mission Impossible" cooled down a little, but at the same time, several other works also had accidents.

The "Twelve Monkeys" were scared away. The recent news is too lively, which makes people clearly feel the current momentum of Hugo. The "Twelve Monkeys" crew said that they could not bear the huge pressure, and even if Hugo was willing to play for free, they would not be lucky enough to survive. So politely interrupted further negotiations with Rick.

The crew of "Brave the Deadly Island" also began to discuss urgently, because the biggest card they expected was Sean Connery, but now it seems that Hugo is the most popular and appealing existence. So how do you arrange the scenes? How do you arrange the pay? What was even more unexpected was that they actually asked Alex to audition, which made things interesting.

A hype farce made Hugo very upset, which is why he never likes hype and the media. These bad situations make it difficult for him to like. At the same time, news came from the "Seven Deadly Sins". Xinyi Film Company arranged a dinner and invited many people, and the relevant personnel of the crew arrived, and everyone could communicate with each other on the spot.
