Superstar

After passing through the circle of reporters, even if Hugo wears sunglasses, he can still feel the dazzling flash penetrating in from the side, constantly stinging his eyes, and finally left the airport and sat on Rick. With the van sent by Rosen, Hugo suddenly felt like escaped.

However, the reporters were still reluctant to let Hugo go. A large group of reporters ran to the front of the car, raised the camera and kept pressing the shutter against the inside of the car. The whole car was illuminated brightly, which made Hugo quite a bit. Can't help it, Samora sitting next to him is even more stunned: If he encounters such a situation while driving, what should he do? Just run over? No, right...

Rick’s driver had obviously anticipated this situation a long time ago, and he showed Zamora the correct way to deal with the encirclement.

I saw the driver started the car, and then slowly drove forward. A large group of reporters was quickly pushed up to the front of the car. At a rough glance, there were at least ten people, and there were many reporters on both sides clinging to the glass. The inside of the carriage kept pressing the shutter, and they all followed the start of the car, clinging to the door of the car, and moving on.

However, the driver did not stop the car, but kept going at a speed slower than walking. The reporters in front were pushed forward by the front of the car. After all, it is impossible for human bodies to fight against cars. Yes, this is Hollywood in reality, not Hollywood movies.

Then the speed of the car can be seen to increase little by little. Although it is only increased from walking to normal walking speed, the reporters on both sides of the car can still be close to each other, but people have already fallen behind in front of the car. They all retreated, with their whole being hung on the front of the car. After the car accelerated, they couldn't keep up with their backward footsteps. Now there are only two options: either to get caught under the wheel, or to avoid it as soon as possible.

In fact, the photos taken by reporters at this time are almost the same, but paparazzi have the habit of not pushing the artist to the extreme and watching the artist completely out of their control, they are not willing to give up. It's time to give up at this time, and they won't really contribute their lives. So reporters began to step away from the front of the car.

With the first one, there is the second one. The speed of the car gradually increased. When the speed reached the jogging speed, there was no one in front of the car, but there were still reporters on both sides running desperately.

The driver still increased the speed unhurriedly, and then he could clearly see that the reporters who were clinging to the car like a leech began to retreat one by one. After everyone had retreated, the driver stepped on the accelerator and accelerated suddenly... Turning his head suddenly, he saw a large string of unwilling tails still chasing behind him, but obviously, they could not catch up.

The car drove away, and a large group of reporters could only eat dust behind.

Samora couldn't help but blew a whistle, "I have to learn this skill." There will surely be many things to contain Hugo in the future, he must learn how to deal with it.

Joseph turned his head and looked at the group of at least 30 reporters behind him, and asked, "What happened in Los Angeles recently? Why are there so many reporters?"

"Twentieth Century Fox officially started the second round of'Life and Death Speed' propaganda on Thursday." The driver is an unfamiliar face, but he is obviously an insider, and he knows the focus of Joseph's topic at a glance. Thursday is the day when Hugo participates in the track rock festival.

Generally speaking, Hugo aspires to win the Cannes actor and returns with praise. It is quite normal for reporters to visit. Quentin and the others staggered the time and stayed in Cannes. On the one hand, it was for further promotion of the film in Europe. On the other hand, in fact, That is to avoid the peak of the reporter's containment.

However, the enthusiasm of the reporters on the scene today is obviously a bit too exaggerated, and there are too many people visiting, even if Quentin returns with Palme d'Or, it is estimated to be this level. Although Hugo has won important acting awards within two months, this is indeed a hot spot, but this scene still exceeded expectations.

Although Joseph is now Hugo's manager, his keenness as an agent immediately saw the problem and immediately grasped the core of the problem. Obviously, as a manager, Joseph can play a far greater role than an agent. This is the stage on which he can really show off. As for how big this stage is, it depends on how Hugo can develop in the future. How far have gone.

After hearing the driver’s answer, Joseph was stunned, and immediately realized that 20th Century Fox wanted to use Hugo, the shareholder wind, to drive the "speed of life" box office, so most reporters today should be 20 Century Fox called, but things are definitely not that simple. Joseph thought for a while, "What else?"

The driver chuckled, "Yes, the other two movies of the same period, including the ones that will be released afterwards, have also started publicity. Recently, the publicity offensive has been very fierce. It seems that they have made up their minds not to let'Life and Death Speed' have a chance. After listening to the driver's brief description, Joseph couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The matter must start from the mid-March when the major film companies began to arrange the film release schedules for this year's summer vacation.

Generally speaking, the movie schedule is determined three months before the release, and it is even possible to set the schedule a year in advance, because the entire publicity plan will revolve around the release schedule. The number of movies in the 1990s is far less than that in the 21st century, so the filming cycle is relatively short, just "finished in January, and landed in Cannes in May; "speed of life" is finished in March, and the file is fixed in June. It is almost impossible to see the situation in the 21st century. But in the 1990s, it is quite normal.

The scheduling of the schedule is very particular and knowledgeable, and it is not just a company’s business, but also involves the scheduling issues of other rival companies, competing works, and the scheduling issues of major theaters. Therefore, it is also possible to arrange the schedule in advance. Part of the reason is that adjustments can be made in time.

The matter originated from Paramount Pictures. At that time, the major film companies began to arrange the schedule for this year's summer archive. Paramount released several works this year during the summer archive. Among them, there are three key releases, which were released at the end of May. Beverly Hills Detective 3 (beverly..., "Clear Eyebrow Pursuit (clear. and present. Danger released in late June, and "Forrest Gump" released in early August.

However, after the schedule was set, it was discovered that "Browse Pursuing" and "True Lies" of Twentieth Century Fox unexpectedly ran into the schedule. The two works were released only a week apart. Since they are both action movies, the internal friction of movies of the same type will obviously be reduced. It will be a lose-lose situation.

So Paramount Pictures discussed with Twentieth Century Fox and finally decided to postpone "True Lies" for a week and release it on the third weekend of July. "Forrest Gump" and "Burning Eyebrow Chase" will switch gears. "Forrest Gump" was released in the last week of June, while "Browse Pursuit" was switched to the second week of August.

I don’t want to. In this way, "Forrest Gump" and Disney’s annual masterpiece "The Lion King" collided with the schedule, and after consultation between the two companies, "The Lion King" decided to release one week in advance, and "Forrest Gump" It was postponed for two weeks. This action immediately caused a major earthquake. The "Lion King" with a production cost of 79 million US dollars is definitely an opponent that no one wants to meet in the summer file. The monthly schedule became tense, and in the end the "speed of life and death", which was ignored by everyone, became the target of oppression.

As a result, "Life and Death Speed" not only has to face the situation where there are strong competitors in the previous week and the next week, but also the situation where there are strong competitors when it is released in the same week, which is definitely a crack in the gap.

"Wolf" directed by Mike Nichols and starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer mentioned that there was a head-to-head confrontation with "Life and Death Speed". This caused a heated hype in the media, and people generally It is believed that this will be the second head-on confrontation between Hugo and Mike Nichols after Oscar.

And "Wolf" was released by Columbia Pictures. As we all know, Columbia Pictures and Hugo have worked very successfully several times before. Now Mike and Jack have teamed up with Columbia Pictures to stand on the opposite side of Hugo. The result is obviously full of suspense.

Twentieth Century Fox, who had always been lacking in confidence, after hesitating repeatedly, decided to avoid the 70 million ambition masterpiece "Wolf" and advance the schedule of "Life and Death Speed". In this way, the "Life and Death Speed" competitors will change. It became Universal Pictures’ comedy "The Hillbilly Conquers New York (the...way.

"The Hillbilly Conquers New York" is starring Woody Harrison (.) and Kiefer Sutherland, and it is also the first Universal Pictures summer file after Ron Meyer took office.

As a result, the duel became a competition between Hugo and Kiefer. After the tit-for-tat in the "Yihai Xiongfeng" movie, the two became rivals in reality; and then there were the two or three things that Hugo and Lang had to say. , Also extends to the film contest.

Ultimately, the important thing is that the media generally interpreted this incident as: Hugo avoided the second contest with Mike and chose a better opponent-Lang. Under this exaggeration, naturally all news broke. Up.

In fact, all of this is just a balance and game between major companies. In the summer competition, they all hope to defeat their opponents, but they don’t want internal consumption to kill the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred for themselves. After all, making money is the bottom line. Everyone’s wishes ~www.readwn.com~ so the schedule change is completely understandable.

There was nothing unusual at first, but the hype by the media, especially the second publicity period recently kicked off. At this juncture, Hugo won the Cannes actor, and the momentum has taken a step up, and the prospect of "speed of life and death" It also became more confusing: Was it a fiasco or a counterattack?

Under such circumstances, several other competing films have kicked off the second round of propaganda. The smell of gunpowder has already rushed to the face, and the reporters at the airport have a rare occasion.

Although the driver only briefly talked about the recent publicity of the movies, Joseph immediately understood the ins and outs. He also knew that "speed of life and death" was a typical example of whales fighting with shrimps, and Hugo, the main actor, was standing. The people under the spotlight naturally became the victims of the big companies behind the scenes in the game.

But the problem is that Hugo has been preparing for a tour recently, then to Cannes, and then to a tour, and there is no time for publicity. Thinking of this, Joseph smiled helplessly, it is estimated that Rick is also quite a headache. (To be continued (Dian Dian Han paper) provided.
