Chapter 1894 1894 Adding fuel to the fire

"No, I'm not saying that I hate Hugo, how could anyone hate Hugo?" George replied with a gentle smile. The mortal enemy of David Lettermanger Renault was sitting opposite him. In order to promote the "peacemaker", George starred in the "David Late Night Show". During the conversation, George's humorous conversation obviously won many praises. Even in the face of David's sharp questions, George was able to deal with it freely.

Hearing George's answer, David smiled and shook his head, "I'm not so sure." Then he looked at George meaningfully.

George was not panicked, and still smiled calmly, "No, I just think that no one in this world is perfect. The media's shaping of Hugo is so perfect that it makes people feel that it is not real enough, as if he is a person in the fairy tale world. For me, I would rather know the real Hugo and see his private appearance, so that it is real."

For example, the history between Hugo and Tracy has never been truly discussed. Hugo did so many bad things to Tracy and even destroyed Tracy's career with his own hands, but no one cared about it. It was just because Hugo succeeded and Tracy was a loser, so everyone was pursuing Hugo, and Tracy disappeared like a wisp of blue smoke.

George naturally placed his hands on his thighs, crossed them together, and then gently pressed his thumb with his fingernails to control his emotions and prevent the surging inside from leaking out of his eyes and sounds.

"So, you are saying that Hugo is hypocritical." David grabbed George's painful foot and refused to let go. Although David didn't like Hugo, he never publicly expressed his mockery, ridicule, and humor. David often did this, but David would not show it so stupidly, causing trouble for himself.

George is now elegant and elegant, but compared to the old fox dealing with the media many years later, George has not yet completed his cultivation. So when faced with such a direct answer from the scheming David, George, who was already surging in his heart, couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He laughed dryly, his palms were constantly sweating, but he couldn't hold on for a while. This short blank is enough to make the reporters make a fuss.

After thinking about it, George then continued, "No, I don't use words that are as strong as emotions, but the fact is, Hugo and I are indeed not friends." George paused deliberately, and then continued, "I have never had the chance to see Hugo himself yet."

George originally planned to be humorous, but he and Hugo had never met directly, let alone be friends. But George was a little panicked just now, and he said a little dry, as if the humorous effect had not been released at all, but it seemed like he had posted a war for Hugo.

The problem is here. David did not answer the conversation, but looked at George with a smile, which made George's heart tighten, touch his nose uncomfortably, then cleared his throat and explained, "I mean, if I have the opportunity to see Hugo, I will take the initiative to come forward and introduce myself."

However, this explanation is more like a desire to cover up, especially when the scene was silent, which made George feel a little restless, but reason told him that he had to remain calm at this time so that he could pass this level. However, he still lacked some concentration at this time. He couldn't help but touch his nose twice, coughed gently, concealing his embarrassment.

David finally smiled and continued, "So what are your expectations for the box office of this movie? We are all looking forward to it now. Should we choose George Clooney or Hugo Lancaster this weekend?"

George finally came to his senses, and he had already prepared for this question, so he smiled, "I have to pray that you have fourteen dollars in your pocket." It's enough to buy two movie tickets for cash.

This sentence must have made everyone laugh, but unfortunately, George's smile was a little stiff. Although his words were relaxed, he no longer had the ease of comfort. It can be felt that George obviously could not recover. Fortunately, David did not continue to ask questions, but changed the topic, which gave George a breathing space and gradually recovered.

For David, it is enough to gain today's show from this.

Sure enough, after the broadcast of this episode of "David Late Night Show", it is undoubtedly a further heat up the current media discussion of the showdown between George and Hugo. George's behavior can be said to be adding fuel to the fire and completely triggering the topic. The "New York Post" once again made a big splash.

"The first candidate to challenge Hugo Lancaster: George Clooney", this report completely triggered the topic. In the report, they said that George bravely challenged Hugo, challenging Hugo's dominance in the United States, and expressed boredom and exclusion to the media for praise from Hugo. More importantly, George is qualified to overthrow the Hugo dynasty, and Hollywood will surely witness a battle of dragons and tigers in the future.

This report by the New York Post not only sold four million copies, which made Colin Meller happy; it also had a chain reaction, and even directly gave birth to the "Entertainment Weekly" specializing in a special topic, which compared Hugo and George together for direct comparison, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two people from all aspects. The result of the analysis of "Entertainment Weekly" naturally made Hugo gain the upper hand, but they believed that George was completely possible to copy Hugo's miracle or even surpass Hugo to achieve more brilliant achievements.

This is undoubtedly very ridiculous: because George currently has no place to compare with Hugo in his career, and the two of them are simply not comparable.

But "Entertainment Weekly" was serious and analyzed in a very clear way. The fact is that everyone was curious and discussed enthusiastically which of the two actors was better. Putting aside women or homosexuality, even men would discuss who is more worthy of appreciation and admiration.

The special topic of "Entertainment Weekly" also inspired the "San Francisco Chronicle", and they also made a special topic to analyze the outcome of the victory or defeat of "Peace Maker" vs. "Los Angeles City Secrets" this week. The "San Francisco Chronicle" put forward a bold assumption: "Peace Maker" created a premiere box office of 20 million US dollars, achieving a "Los Angeles City Secrets" with a drop of more than 50% and becoming the North American weekend box office champion in the fourth week of September.

No matter how authoritative the special topic of the San Francisco Chronicle is, it is undeniable that it has indeed caused countless controversies, and everyone is discussing this topic enthusiastically: George and Hugo, "The Peacemaker" and "Los Angeles City Secret", and even involves the top actors today, including Tom and Brad. Who is better and who is more influential, has become the hottest focus of discussion this week.

This also began to warm up the release of "Peacemakers", and the invisible publicity effect was eye-catching. Even though George later clarified his remarks on "David's Late Night Show" at the premiere of the movie, this time George clearly explained his original meaning, and the media also correctly published this clarification article under the supervision of Universal Pictures, but it was no longer helpful.

All viewers are already clear about the pattern of "George vs Hugo". They are enthusiastic about the original "Brad vs Hugo". They believe that this group of duels will burst into more exciting sparks because George is not inferior in the all-round competition, especially in the acting part, which is also Brad's biggest weakness, including Tom Cruise. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the outcome of this duel.

Even though "The Peacemaker" and "Los Angeles Secret" are two completely different types of films, there is no comparison at all; even if Hugo did not mention George in an interview, George denied the so-called duel relationship; even if "The Peacemaker" is the second week of release, "The Peacemaker" premiered this week...

None of this can stop the audience's enthusiasm, eagerly looking forward to the chemistry of the showdown between George and Hugo.

On September 26, under the gaze of the crowd, the "peacemaker" came strongly, and George Clooney and Nicole Kidman were going to challenge the dominant position of "Los Angeles City Secret"! This also caused countless suspense to the North American weekend box office rankings this week.

"The Peacemaker" made the debut, but unfortunately it became a big hit. After the first batch of film reviews came out, everyone was disappointed. The highest-rated "New York Post" only gave only 70 points, and the average score of twenty professional media was even lower than 43 points. This is a disaster for any type of film, which undoubtedly shows that professional comments are almost critical of this work.

Of course, for commercial films, poor media reviews are not a matter of maintaining life and death, but more importantly, the theater scores, because this is the audience's direct feedback on the movies, which is related to the subsequent box office trend. In history, many movies have been extremely poor media reviews, but the audience is very supportive and won a big box office victory. This is also the ultimate proposition for seeking a balance between commercial films and art films.

But George Clooney is destined to be disappointed. The theater score is only "c", barely passing the exam. It can be seen that after overwhelming publicity, people have expressed their high expectations for the movie. This is an absolute double-edged sword. If the movie can satisfy the high expectations like "Los Angeles City Secret", it will completely ignite the box office; otherwise, it will be a disaster, and criticism will pour out with double weight.

This is George's second consecutive dud after "Batman and Robin". His bad reputation is disappointing, which seems to confirm the saying: TV stars and movie stars are two completely different concepts and cannot be confused at all. So, can the "peacemaker" take advantage of the hot topics to achieve an explosion at the premiere box office at least?

This was the only issue that George had paid attention to. He was already unable to take care of himself at this time. He had to put his hands together and pray sincerely: the box office of the movie's premiere could take advantage of the momentum, otherwise, it would be a disaster.
