Chapter 1551 1551 Cope with ease

As the most popular couple in Hollywood, although Brad and Gwyneth have stolen a lot of attention in the past few months, no one can deny that Hugo and Cameron are the most representative golden boys and jade girls in the entire Hollywood. No matter where they go, they will inevitably become a beautiful picture. Today is no exception.

Unexpectedly, Hugo, who chose a lake blue round-neck T-shirt with a light gray Scottish plaid jacket, and Cameron, who used a goose yellow strapless skirt to show his graceful curves and slender legs. He just needed to stand in front of others, which was the unquestionable focus, the focus in the focus.

When the two of them took a step and walked on the red carpet, all the crowds at the scene were like wind blowing wheat waves. Hugo and Cameron were the wind, and the endless sea of ​​people was the wheat waves. The spectacular scene was even comparable to the magnificence of the National Geographic Channel, which made the helicopters hovering in the sky marvel at it. The picture of looking down from high altitude was completely a surging red sea. The scorching magma even penetrated the entire city, allowing the helicopters in the sky to feel the heat waves coming.

Hugo and Cameron walked particularly slowly on the red carpet. Both of them greeted more fans as much as possible, shook hands, hugged, took photos, and signed autographs. Hugo did everything he could to meet the requirements of the fans in a limited time. He even stopped and talked to a little girl for two minutes. The warm scene melted many people on the scene.

When the two of them reached the end of the red carpet and met with Jie, it was already twenty-five minutes later. Jie gave Hugo a big hug and sighed, "This is really a long journey, isn't it?"

Hugo nodded meaningfully, "Isn't it?" Jie said that the red carpet was too long, but Hugo said that since the announcement of "Independence Day" was launched, the two of them had captured the deep meaning in their sight after they finished speaking, and then they both chuckled.

After expressing his welcome to Cameron, Jay took a step back a little and sighed, "Wow, there is no doubt that this is bound to be trending again. I have begun to consider wearing this when recording the show next time." Jay was teasing Hugo about Burberry. Since the opening of the flagship store in April, Burberry has undoubtedly been the most popular luxury brand in the United States in the past three months, and its popularity can almost be described as incredible.

Hugo shrugged, "I hope your big chin can fit the round neck." A simple response made all the reporters on the scene laugh.

Jay curled his lips, and the words "This joke is so good" were clearly written between his eyebrows, which made everyone laugh even happier. "So, it's very lively recently, and countless rumors are circulating, and some rumors seem to be quite aggressive. When you came to the scene today, are you planning to make a formal response?"

Jie's words were completely unpredictable. Happiness came so suddenly that the reporters were stunned. They did not expect Jie to directly ask about the provocation between Oasis and Maria. They originally thought that Jie would take over the rhythm of the interview today. Out of personal friendship, Jie would definitely not ask, but in the end, Jie gave everyone a surprise.

Hugo seemed not surprised at all, because he knew that friends were friends, but Jie's sharpness had never changed. What's more, Jie's use of this indirect obscure way to ask questions actually left a lot of room for Hugo to play.

"Maybe it means that I have achieved some results in Hollywood? This is a good thing, isn't it?" Even Jay was slightly stunned when Hugo's answer, and then he realized what Hugo meant. To sum it up, it was nothing more than a sentence "There are many things that are popular." Hugo's words are actually saying that the Oasis Band is just a simple jealousy of glory until death, so he said a lot of nonsense, but in fact, Maria's words don't need to be taken seriously at all.

Hugo only used one sentence to ignore Oasis Band and Maria, and even ignored them in a condescending manner. He was really clever. Jie couldn't help but want to applaud Hugo, and the reporters at the scene were even more excited.

"I have always been an open-minded person who is willing to accept criticism and accusations, but the premise is that it is just right. I will not respond to those unreasonable words, after all, I only have one mouth." This subtext is actually saying that Oasis and Maria are unreasonable.

Compared with the accusations of glory to death, the rebuttals of Oasis and Maria are indeed unconvincing. Especially the two Gallagher brothers of Oasis, they cannot respond to their own accusations, and the accusations of glory to death are simply personal attacks, and there is no part worth referring to. Simply put, it is just a mess of grass in your head.

Hugo's swearing without swearing, making people want to clap and applaud. Although Hugo didn't mention Oasis Band, Maria or Glory until his death from beginning to end, everyone on the scene knew that this was a point of view, and almost everyone was worried that they would cause internal injuries if they were laughing.

There were less than three sentences between Jie and Hugo, but their combat effectiveness was too strong, demonstrating the absolute tacit understanding of these two good friends. Before the reporters could react, Jie changed the topic, "It can be seen that you have indeed achieved good results." After saying that, Jie nodded seriously and expressed his approval. This expression and action made the laughter on the scene no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

"So, 'Independence Day', 20 million US dollars in pay, have you figured out how to spend it?" Jie's question was expected, but the way he asked was laughable.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Are I now reaching the level of Rockefeller? Can I squander at will?"

"Uh...I don't think so." Hugo's witty answer made Jay stunned, and then shook his head seriously and seriously. The scene had already made a slut. Cameron, who was standing next to him, had already started rubbing his stomach without any image because his abdominal muscles were laughing stiffly. "But you can imagine that you are under a lot of pressure? What are your prospects for "Independence Day"?"

Jay's words are actually metaphorical. As we all know, there are two members in the 20 million club, namely Hugo and Jin Carrey. The "Ace Commissioner" who won a $20 million salary for Kim is also the target of attention. The movie was officially released on June 14th. Although the premiere at that time was not as grand as today, it should not be underestimated. The scene can be said to be very lively. Columbia Pictures spent a lot of effort on the promotion of this movie.

The head-on confrontation between "Ace Commissioner" and "Independence Day" that people are most looking forward to is not staged. After all, these are two completely different works. Both sides are not competitive in terms of themes or styles. What's more, Columbia Pictures has always hoped to have a good relationship with Hugo, and the previous "Speed ​​of Life and Death" against "Wolf" was still vivid in my mind, so the "Ace Commissioner" was finally scheduled to be released in the second week of June, three weeks ahead of "Independence Day".

But even so, the "Ace Special Commissioner" has attracted countless attention, and people are looking forward to a result: Can the 20 million yuan pay be worth the money? Can it be worth the money?

But the result disappointed everyone. The box office of the "Ace Commissioner" was only 19 million. Although this performance was already very good, it was enough to win a week's championship in the fiercely competitive summer season, and it also pulled down the popular "Brave the Deadly Island" from the championship throne; but it was still disappointing. First, the box office of "Brave the Deadly Island" was 18 million in the next week, and the champion of the "Ace Commissioner" narrowly won; second, the topic effect of the "20 million club" did not bring additional value at all, far inferior to expectations.

Although the "Ace Commissioner" invested only 47 million yuan, it can be said to be a sky-high price for a comedy movie, not to mention that the value of 20 million yuan does not reflect its value, which has caused Columbia Pictures to be hurt. As of this week, the cumulative box office of "Ace Commissioner" was only 54 million yuan, and the decline has exceeded 60%. It lacks momentum, not to mention over 100 million yuan, even the final box office of 80 million yuan is very dangerous, which has also brought the Hollywood debate on high investment and high returns to the peak:

Now the general view is that investments of around $100 million should be the upper limit. Clubs of 20 million will only keep costs rising, but they will not be able to bring greater profits. Instead, they will cause the film industry to collapse and should not be busy increasing investment. This is true from "Tornado", "Mission Impossible" to the upcoming "Independence Day", with budgets all around $100 million.

However, the failure of the "Ace Commissioner" does not determine everything, because people's focus is on "Independence Day". The 20 million club represents the added value of the box office appeal of top stars, which also leads to the increase in the cost of film production. At the same time, the improvement of computer special effects has also caused the production cost to rise. "Independence Day" only invested 100 million US dollars, which can be called a test work. Therefore, the success or failure of "Independence Day" will truly draw a comma for this debate about high investment and high returns.

So, this is why Jie said this. Now everyone is paying attention to Hugo. The pressure on Hugo's shoulders is absolutely beyond imagination.

Hugo was naturally clear about this situation, but he showed a relaxed smile and patted his shoulder gently, as if he had cleaned the dust on his shoulder. "I think the initiative is no longer in my hands. I will pray devoutly, hoping that the audiences on the scene will buy tickets to watch the movie today, and maybe I can have a good sleep tonight."

Hugo's actions and words conveyed two completely opposite messages, but both showed his relaxation and comfort, which immediately made the audience excited, screaming wildly, and responded to Hugo's "prayer" with their actual actions.
