1594 Chapter 1594
"Tell me the progress now, hurry!" Sebastian Espinoza (sexy bastian.espinoza) walked into the conference room in a breeze. The originally chattering atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze into ice. Sebastian frowned, swept around the room, and finally said, "Austin, start."
Austin McCartney (atin.mccartney), who was named, panicked and hesitated twice. "Rick Rosen said that time has been lined up and there is no trip to accept our interview. Now the phone number is no longer available. Even his first assistant Jim Snow's phone number is always hotline, and his second assistant is the only person we can contact."
Sebastian just frowned and kept wandering back and forth in front of the conference table. "So, he knew we were 'person' weekly, and he still rejected us?" Sebastian seemed to be asking questions, and also talking to himself. The conference room in front of him was quiet. Until he looked up at Austin, Austin nodded and expressed his affirmation, "Continue, continue, I need to know how bad the situation is..."
Austin looked at his other editorial companions with help. As the editor-in-chief of "People", Sebastian has never been a good person to get along with. If he can't answer at a meeting or can't come up with an idea, he may be thrown into the cold palace. After three times, he will probably lose his job.
But Austin is powerless in his problem today. Now everyone is trying to contact Hugo and trying to find an opportunity for an exclusive interview. Although the box office of "Independence Day" has not exceeded 500 million, in fact, since the threshold of 400 million, the competition for interview invitations has begun. The influx of appointments has almost caused the telephone line of the Eternal Elite Agency to catch fire.
However, most top media wanted to continue watching. Although their reports were constantly keeping pace and crew interviews were conducted countless times, Hugo's personal interviews still wanted to wait until the box office of "Independence Day" really slowed down, because in this way they could become "the first media to interview exclusively after Hugo achieved a box office of 500 million US dollars", this gimmick is worth at least one million US dollars.
The most important thing about news is the time, and the so-called timing is not simply the faster the better, but to grasp the accurate timing. Sometimes, waiting for the right time with a press of the explosive news is also a compulsory course for journalists.
If "Independence Day" can exceed 500 million box office, it is this time. With the end of the summer season, "Independence Day" is making great strides every week, which also makes the competition between the news media increasingly fierce. A Hugo interview has become a popular among media around the United States and even the world. As Austin said, they can only contact Rick's second assistant at present. Not only Rick, but the entire Eternal Elite Brokerage Company has become popular.
"Independence Day" is the first work to be packaged and cooperated since the establishment of the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company. As a result, such brilliant achievements have been achieved. Its artists have risen and have already gained an absolute advantage in the competition with the United Elite Brokerage Company.
After receiving Austin's look of help, Jesse Cagle spoke, "As far as we know, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post have not made an appointment for an exclusive interview yet. Rick all refused the interview request on the grounds that Hugo has no time at the moment. However, rumors say that only Times and Rick have had in-depth conversations with Rick, but the news of the successful interview appointment has not yet been reported."
In this fierce competition, major media across the United States are competing in bayonets. Even these top media must try their best to show their competitiveness. No one can be exceptional, even the Los Angeles Times.
Austin cast a thankful look at Jesse for helping him, but Jesse didn't have time to respond to Austin because Sebastian looked over, "'Time'? Where did you get the news?"
If Times had really had a successful contact with Rick, they would have been unable to keep the secret and would have celebrated it with great fanfare. But if it was fake news, it would be another matter.
"'Wall Street Journal'. But the source of the news is not sure and it needs to be verified." Jesse's words made Sebastian nod. If it were the "Wall Street Journal", it would be different. The media's connections in the United States are definitely not that simple.
Sebastian was silent and thought, "Who has any good opinions? Quick, hurry! We can't miss this exclusive interview with Hugo, absolutely not!"
Last year, "People" Weekly took a different approach to award Brad Pitt the title of the world's sexiest man of the year. This was undoubtedly a feat and became the best testimony of Brad's top Hollywood. But at this time, Sebastian had a headache because Hugo was refreshing everyone's understanding with his terrifying performance again and again. If Hugo was chosen again, it would have become the most suspenseless but also the most surprising answer.
This year, "People" Weekly has not yet figured out what to do, so they need an exclusive interview opportunity to narrow the distance with Hugo again and show the magazine's wise perspective. This is crucial for "People".
After Sebastian roared, he looked at Jesse, "Who did you contact Joseph Gibbs? Or Samora Casvi?"
"Joseph does not answer the phone at the moment. Samora answered the phone, but his answer was that Hugo was busy working and had no time." Jesse also looked helpless. Obviously, the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company and Hugo reached an agreement on their opinions, with the same external caliber, and put the news media on the bonfire and roasted them slowly.
Sebastian clenched his fists and slammed hard at the desk, which scared everyone in the conference room. Then he saw him gritting his teeth fiercely, "No matter what method is used, the interview must be taken down! Jesse, where is Hugo now? Houston or Miami, you can rush over and visit him in person! Don't come back if you don't see him!"
At this moment, the entire American news media have been mobilized, and no one can be exceptional, because everyone knows clearly that this is the moment of creating history and the moment of witnessing history! Such an exciting moment easily mobilizes every bit of enthusiasm in everyone's body, making people crazy. The once extremely noble and extremely proud uncrowned kings have lowered their noble heads at this moment and condescendingly joined this carnival, without wishing to miss this feast.
Not only "People" Weekly, but the editorial department of "Time" Weekly was also in chaos at this time.
Walter Issacson also frowned tightly at this time, supporting his chin with his hands and fell into thinking. Then he heard someone shouting "Walter, Walter". He came to his senses and looked up to see more than 20 editors in the entire conference room focusing their attention. However, Walter did not panic, but thought calmly, "No, we still can't miss this opportunity."
Walter reached the final conclusion. Time magazine is actively contacting Hugo recently, hoping to make Hugo the cover character for the next October and accept an exclusive interview with the magazine. However, now he has not made any reservations for Hugo at all. To be precise, Rick is also weighing the opportunity and refuses to give up.
Therefore, "Time" Weekly previously used a roundabout policy and expressed that it hopes to book an interview schedule in November. They told Rick that Hugo is qualified to be shortlisted for this year's "Time" Weekly's people.of.the.year's people (people.of.the.year) and hopes to conduct detailed interviews.
The so-called "State of the Year" began in 1927. The first outstanding performance was for review, but it gradually became a tradition of journalism, a habit of Americans, and caused strong resonance in the world. Although it is called "State of the Year", the candidates can be men, women, couples, groups of people, regions, machines or even a year. What is important is that it is good or bad, but the most influential one in the past year.
The selection of "Time" Weekly far exceeds the entertainment effect of the major lists of "People" Weekly. The annual celebrity is a selection of top figures in various fields around the world, from Mahatma Gandhi to Deng Xiaoping, from Adolf Hitler to Winston Churchill, from Hungarian Freedom Warrior to Martin Luther King, among which the "Twenty-five and Under" who were the most popular figures in 1966, the American women in 1975, and the personal computers in 1982 are all selections with distinct marks of the times, and their importance plays an important role globally.
Hugo is able to become a candidate for the annual celebrity, which is enough to feel that Hugo plays an important role in American society. Faced with Walter's killer weapon, it is hard to say no, not to mention that this is the interview schedule for November, so Rick has not refused for the time being. This is also the reason why "Time" Weekly has long talked with Rick. Obviously, the news received by competitors, including "People" Weekly, was the smoke bomb released by Walter.
But after careful consideration, Walter still thought that they should not miss this opportunity. "This is a change in the film industry, we cannot miss it." Walter's brain was running quickly, and then he suddenly stood up, "Let me check where Hugo's manager, Joseph Gibbs, is, I'm going to visit him in person!"
