Chapter 1165： Unpredictable outcome

Tom Cruise joined "Mission Impossible" with a salary of 10 million U.S. dollars, and became a member of the filmmakers lineup, sharing the box office risk of the work together; John Watt and Vin Remus (.rhames) joined together "Mission Impossible"; the crew is approaching Jean-Renault and hopes to invite him to join...

The curtain just kicked off in April, and news about "Mission Impossible" followed one after another, and the limelight was no different.

Hugo and Tom Cruise once again competed head-to-head, ending with Tom's victory, which made people lament that Hugo is an upstart after all, and the roots of Hollywood connections are still not solid enough.

In the "Mission Impossible" news wave after wave, another piece of news was quietly announced. The official news from Xinxian Films, they did not inform the media on a large scale, but only informed the two familiar parties. The media only appeared to be very low-key, but as soon as the news was announced, it was immediately fried. Because the latest news is related to Hugo.

"Hugo Lancaster officially joined the Seven Deadly Sins."

Such a simple piece of news without any additional news immediately made the media boil. Hugo did not join the "Mission Impossible", and immediately chose the "Seven Deadly Sins". Is this a pity? Or is it because the quality of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is indistinguishable from the "Mission Impossible"?

Almost overnight, the "seven deadly sins" were exposed by the media inside and out.

Xinxian Film Company is also very smart. It releases the news bit by bit to keep the news fresh and attract more and more people to notice the work of "Seven Deadly Sins". Not inferior to the "Mission Impossible" trend.

"The director is David Fincher? Isn't this a newcomer, and he smashed'Alien 3', why would you ask him to direct it? Ominous premonition."

"Morgan Freeman first appeared in the cast! Hugo and Morgan's first collaboration, missed the'Shawshank's Redemption', after all, they met in the'Seven Deadly Sins', and the two Oscars nominated for Best Actor The drama of the writer is very much looking forward to!"

"The second one is Gwyneth Paltrow! Steven Spielberg’s goddaughter, with a hard background and good looks, seems to be a good show! And she got a family The support of this movie does not seem to be that simple."

"Brad Pitt! Following Brad and Tom in "Interview with the Vampire", this time Brad and Hugo are facing each other! Are the roles of the two in the movie confrontation or cooperation? What kind of spark did the collision produce?"

"Brad, Hugo, Gwyneth! Are you going to start a love triangle? Expected script role setting!"

"Brad, the new star of acting; Hugo, the backbone of acting; Morgan, the representative of veteran acting! The duel of the three actors is enough to make everyone look forward to the cooperation!"

The news changed almost every day, and the media’s focus quietly shifted from "Mission Impossible" to "Seven Deadly Sins", discussing directors, actors, producers, investments, scripts... and everything in the end. The focus is on the three actors, especially Hugo and Brad.

There is no need for the media to instigate again. Everyone clearly knows that the duel between Hugo and Brad is full of countless highlights. This time it is not a fight against each other in the air, but a performance duel between two people in the same work. Just like "Interview with the Vampire", everything will come to light after the movie is released.

Hugo and Tom’s competition for "Mission Impossible" has just come to an end. Here, Hugo and Brad will have a face-to-face duel in the "Seven Deadly Sins", which almost makes the news media happy, every day. It's Christmas!

It’s just that Tom snatched "Mission Impossible" and finally chose the "Seven Deadly Sins". Is this really a wise choice? The worries of the news media have reappeared, and the media headed by the "New York Post" have once again begun to plan for the future of Hugo with all their heart.

"One is a large production with an investment of 80 million US dollars, the other is a small production with a budget of only 30 million; the other is Oscars such as Brian de Palma, Steven Zellian, and Robert Downey. High-level casts are on the one hand, with the little-known David Fincher and Andrew Kevin Walker on the one hand; on the other hand, Paramount’s focused ambition work, on the other hand, the work of New Line Films cautiously asking for directions.

Is this really a wise choice? "

Colin Mailer has a heart to think completely for Hugo, but clearly lists the difference between "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins". "Since'before sunrise', Lancaster Te's career has always been in a dangerous situation. It is undoubtedly wise and correct to choose'Mission Impossible' to give it a go, but unfortunately this time the gamble has also failed. This once again shows the decline of Lancaster's current career. Momentum-lost in the duel with Cruise.

After being abandoned by ‘Mission Impossible’, he chose ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ voluntarily and returned to the route of ‘Pulp Fiction’-even more dangerous than ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Speed ​​of Life and Death’. Is this really correct? Or is it said that the wrong choice of the ‘Hudson’s Eagle’ has reappeared, and the ‘Hudson’s Eagle’ of the collapse spell has appeared again? "

Unlike in the past, when he was constantly questioning Hugo, Colin now appears more in a character who is compassionate and dedicated to thinking for Hugo. He is talking about the crisis of the situation under the name of worrying Hugo. The past month has been The "Hugo Career Crisis Theory" that has gradually settled down is now resurgence again, and it has set off stormy waves in a more turbulent manner.

But are the "seven deadly sins" really the wrong choice? is it really like this?

In addition to the "New York Post", there are naturally many media who calmly analyzed it. Soon, they discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Although the news about the "Seven Deadly Sins" was lively and heated, in fact most of them It's all official news from Xin Xian Pictures, and the official news is very simple, and there is not much to break the news.

For example, how much is the salary of the three actors? Or in other words, the consistently low-key Morgan Freeman ruled out, how much is the pay for Hugo and Brad? Who is the leading actor and who is the supporting actor? Or is it the same two male protagonists in "Interview with the Vampire"?

The news is tightly covered by New Line Pictures, and it is not airtight, but there is no news at all.

The media heard about it for a while before vaguely heard that “Hugo’s salary may be 10 million U.S. dollars.” However, this news did not receive any response from the official or Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. Know if it is true.

If it were before "Mission Impossible", people would definitely be excited about this news, because this is the first work with a pay of tens of millions in the 13 years since Hugo debuted-of course, no one in the circle would be like that. It is believed that both "Life and Death Hour" and "Pulp Fiction" have already earned Hugo 30 million yuan in film salaries. In terms of film salaries alone, Hugo is the first person in Hollywood today, no doubt.

However, deducting box office dividends and only calculating the guaranteed film remuneration, this is indeed the first time Hugo has received tens of millions of dollars in film remuneration.

But now? After "Mission: Impossible", people have clearly known that Hugo has a capacity of 20 million U.S. dollars. As long as Hugo is willing to nod his head, there will be a company to succeed; even if it is not 20 million, 15 million U.S. dollars will be captured. Therefore, it is not surprising that ten million is naturally.

The point is that the "Los Angeles Times" confirmed that "Hugo is not the most important role in the drama." Although this news is ambiguous and does not have much reference value at all, it is like in "Interview with the Vampire", Brad has obviously more roles than Tom, and Brad is still the core role of the story, but both can become males. The protagonist, and Tom is even more brilliant. Therefore, this news is actually not said.

But it is better than nothing. At least people can be sure that Hugo is not an absolute male protagonist in terms of weight. If this news is true, it also means that the highest paid "Seven Deadly Sins" is not the male lead. This is the first time ever!

Soon there will be a lot of gossip about the "seven deadly sins". Brad is the actor, and Hugo is the second lesser actor, but Brad is only paid 5 million, but Hugo With ten million, this pattern of indifferent priority also made the confrontation between the two people even more tense.

Although these news have not been officially confirmed, the brokerage companies of Hugo and Brad are also silent; but the media has been unable to bear it, and all the hype has become uproarious.

If all this is true, then Hugo starred in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and the pay was the same as Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible", and Hugo also beats Brad in the same series. The confrontation between the two people is not inferior to the big production of "Mission Impossible". In terms of topicality, the two sides can be said to be a tie.

More importantly, there is a rumor circulating in the circle. Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has been planning not "Mission Impossible" but "Seven Deadly Sins". Rick has won the role of "Seven Deadly Sins" for Hugo. It took countless thoughts to defeat Kevin Spacey to take the role at the last moment. Moreover, Rick also used the two works of Clint, Al and Warner Bros. as the terms of the transaction, in exchange for Hugo's "Seven Deadly Sins" of 10 million yuan.

Although Warner Bros. and New Line Pictures are two independent divisions of Time Warner , they can talk to each other.

The news was not announced by the media, because it involved the secrets of Hollywood circles. The reporters knew very well what broke the news and what the news couldn't. But it caused an uproar in the circle. If this is the case, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company really played a good game this time.

Although they lost "Mission Impossible", they won the four companies of Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount and New Line, and won the "Toy Story", "The Bridge of the Last Dream" and "Theft of Fire" in one go. The right to participate in five works, including "Break into Death Island" and "Seven Deadly Sins", and also allowed Hugo to receive 10 million US dollars as a non-protagonist.

The creative artist agency seemed to have won a big victory. Tom Cruise won "Mission Impossible" and Brad Pitt became the protagonist of the "Seven Deadly Sins", but suffered a dumb loss.

This move is really shocking. More importantly, Rick spent so much effort to win the "seven deadly sins" for Hugo. Obviously he did not choose randomly. Then the "seven deadly sins" would really be like "New York". Is the Post so worried?

It now appears that the outcome is unpredictable. Not only between works, between actors, but also between companies!
