Chapter 1133: Gossip

"Tom Cruise meets with Sherry Lansing (Sherry.) late at night and fight for the role!"

This is a shocking revelation from the "New York Post" that Shirley Lansing is the new head of Paramount. Since Paramount's Big Three left in 1984-CEO Barry Diller (Barry). ) Went to News Corporation to establish Fox TV, his assistants Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg went to Disney, and finally Paramount, who had experienced the peak of ten years, fell into the bottom again. After Li Xin took office, Paramount was reformed drastically. Restarting the "007" series is an important move. The launch of "Forrest Gump" is worth remembering, while "Mission Impossible" is another move.

Shirley’s meeting with Tom late at night was obviously of special significance. After the news broke, it caused a wave of waves. Everyone believed that Tom was infinitely close to "Mission Impossible".

But then, "U.S. Weekly" broke the news again, "Hugo Lancaster talked with Brian de Palma (.de. Palma) and Steven Zelian for three hours! In-depth! Discussed the details of the script and the shooting plan!"

Brian De is one of Hollywood’s most controversial directors. He is known as the "Hitchcock of Contemporary America". His works include "Witch Carrie (, "Scarface", and "Love Owl". This time, Paramount invited him to be the director of "Mission Impossible". This is also Brian De's first directorial work in three years. It can be said to be very ambitious.

From the screenwriter to the director to the actors, you can see that Paramount has high hopes for this work.

Hugo has a long conversation with Brian De and Steven, which also means that he is proactive in the script, not to mention the friendship between Steven and Hugo. After "before sunrise", everyone knew that Hugo had his own unique insights into the script, so many things can be seen from this meeting.

At this time, people think that "Mission Impossible" seems to be more inclined to Hugo.

Within a few days, the "San Francisco Chronicle" reappeared in the news, "Brian De Palma and Robert Downey think Tom Cruise is more suitable for the script, and support the role of Cruise in'Mission Impossible'. ."

The support of the director and another chief screenwriter made Tom’s approval rating skyrocket, but before the news sparked more discussion, the "Orange County Chronicle" blew up the hottest news since the beginning of 1995, "Pai Ramon offered a salary of 20 million U.S. dollars and invited Lancaster to play Ethan Hunt!"

After this news came out, it became the peak of a hot topic almost instantly. The "Orange County Chronicle" also stated in the news with conclusive evidence: The contract has appeared in Hugo's hands, and only Hugo's signature is needed, and everything is in dust. It's settled!

The explosiveness of news directly breaks the table. If what the "Orange County Chronicle" said is true, then this is definitely the biggest news this year. It not only means that Hugo defeated Tom to take the role-this is just additional news, but also means The first 20 million remuneration in Hollywood history will be born, which will completely change the balance between Hollywood agency and film company that has been maintained for nearly a decade.

At this time, people have forgotten that they were still "worried" about Hugo's career prospects a few weeks ago, believing that Hugo's career has shown signs of fatigue, as the New York Post said; but the brokerage industry circle However, they will not forget that just less than a month ago, they continued to put pressure on Endeavour's elite brokerage companies, believing that Hugo is not accepting works in accordance with industry rules, which is a huge disruption to the brokerage industry.

But now, Hugo is very likely to become the first recipient of 20 million in remuneration in history!

Even using the shock of the earth and the shaking of the earth and mountains are not enough to describe the social reaction of the "Orange County Chronicle" after the news appeared. This is far more exaggerated than last year. Last year, the "Future Water World" and "007" series restarted works on rain. If the 20 million US dollar pay was nothing but thunder and rain, Hugo was not directly involved in the storm when he was filming "Before Sunrise" in Europe.

But now it’s different. Hugo’s whereabouts have indeed been captured by people, and the competition between Hugo and Tom is also real. This makes the authenticity of the 20 million rewards soar-in fact, this is indeed true. Although the so-called "contract" is fictitious, Paramount did say that when contacting Rick, they were willing to pay Hugo 20 million yuan, but there was no box office dividend.

Overnight, this became the hottest topic. In California alone, 21 media outlets reported on the "20 million film pay", and there were more than 50 media outlets across the United States who reported on Reported-there are still many local small media that have not been included in the scope of statistics!

Hugo is almost overwhelmed by media reporters. Every reporter wants to interview Hugo for the first time, asking him what he thinks so far, asking him whether he really wants to sign, and asking him whether he is sure to attend "Mission Impossible."

Similarly, Tom was also annoyed on the other hand. Reporters all ran over to the bottom of the well, asking Tom "how you feel about being overwhelmed by Hugo", or directly asking, "Hugo really paid 20 million dollars, what do you think?" I wish that Tom and Hugo would swear directly.

Not just Hugo and Tom, Rick’s office phone has been blown up, and Endeavour Elite Brokerage was blocked by more than 30 reporters! In addition, Joseph and his glorious teammates were also surrounded by groups. Even Alex and Carl, who worked in "Happy Family", were surrounded by reporters. They just wanted to interview them, Hugo. status.

The most absurd thing is that Green Hill, who seems to be irrelevant, was also chased by reporters, which shocked him.

This situation made Hugo feel like Tang Seng, everyone wanted to eat a piece of meat from him. This feeling is really bad, it can even be said to be bad. It was originally a good thing, but now it’s annoying because of excessive hype. Hugo didn’t like hype. The reason why he never stood up to refute it is because most of the media reports are true, but There are many differences in details; on the one hand, because he really wants to play "Mission Impossible", any remarks he makes before things are agreed are just adding fuel to the flames. but now……

Now Hugo doesn't want to play, because he thinks this is a disaster, and it will be even more terrible after the show. Hugo really felt the mood of Leonardo after the "Titanic" once again, and wanted to run away when he saw a bit of media turmoil.

The "Mission Impossible" protagonist dispute reached its peak at this time, but the situation so far is still under control. Although media reports are a bit exaggerated, the overall situation is still based on facts. However, when the topic of 20 million rewards reached a boiling point, media coverage began to lose control.

No one remembers who the first media outlet was, but the "National Inquirer" is definitely not to be ignored. Anthony Bond Stewart, who hasn't appeared for a long time, came out again, and it was a blockbuster," Lancaster thinks. Ruth is **** and doesn't deserve to be a hero at all!"

In fact, Hollywood rumors about Tom being **** have never really subsided, whether it was when he married Nicole Kidman or later when he married Katie Helms and gave birth to children, these rumors never disappeared. Therefore, the news of the "National Inquirer" is nothing new, but the point is: Hugo attacked Tom!

Moreover, the report also vividly described Hugo directly mocking Tom's height at "a certain party", thinking that Tom's masculinity was not enough to control his partner. The subtext is saying that Tom should be underneath.

These words have gone beyond the normal range and have evolved into personal attacks. Although the report of the "National Inquirer" looks absurd, there is no truth at all: there is no time, no place, no evidence, everything is what they call "rumors"; but this is Hollywood, the Hollywood of entertainment to the death, even if News without any credibility will be infinitely magnified at a certain moment.

It's like the entertainment industry often rumours that a certain artist has died, just because he hasn't shown up for a long time, and even rumored to have a nose and eyes, and the more the noise gets worse. In the end, the person was forced to show up directly, saying that he was still alive. This kind of absurd and unfounded news is often bought by many people in the entertainment industry.

In fact, anyone who knows Hugo will know Hugo’s personality cannot be so vicious, not to mention Hugo and Tom have been getting along very well, even in the "Sugar Coated Trap" audition. At that New Year's Eve party. Ridicule? It's possible; ridicule? It is also possible; but attack? impossible.

But after the "National Inquirer" remarks appeared, they immediately fermented. This time, Mr. Bond chose a time that couldn't be more correct.

When the "Houston Chronicle" became the first national newspaper to report this time, things finally got out of control. However, the "Houston Chronicle" reported that it was not Hugo attacking Tom, but Tom countering Hugo, "Cruise satirizes Lancaster by betraying his ass!" They took Hugo and Tracy Jacobs back then. Booth’s rumors have been dug up again, saying that Tom did his best to mock Hugo at a private party, and even scratched his head to learn how Hugo wriggled in "Night Sleep in Seattle".

Of course, before reporting Tom's counterattack against Hugo, the "Houston Chronicle" also briefly reviewed Hugo's previous summary of his attack on Tom. This also means that the "full picture" of the whole thing is presented to the people of the North American continent. The authority of the national newspaper is naturally extraordinary, and this spreads things overwhelmingly, just like an iceberg hits a volcano, and the waves roar in an instant.
