Chapter 1904: Boot party

The Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood is just a four-star hotel, but it is famous all over the world, even more famous than many five-star hotels. The reason is simple. Every year after the Oscar ends, it is hosted by Vanity Fair. The "Oscar Night" party will be held here. The star-studded night makes the Sunset Tower the center of attention once a year, and it also allows countless loyal movie lovers to go there, just to experience the real experience of top stars.

Today, the Sunset Tower Hotel has once again become a hot spot. Half of Hollywood’s crowds are swarming, not only media reporters, production company powerful figures, fashion magazine editors, Hollywood actors, but also many New York Wall Street celebrities. One after another came, so that Los Angeles in November showed the hustle and boil of the year-end awards ceremony early.

There is no other reason. Everyone knows one thing. The party for the opening ceremony of "Trumen's World" was held on time at the Sunset Tower Hotel today. This US$60 million work is arguably the highest-cost comedy movie in recent years. Paramount put a lot of effort into this movie, and even started mystery propaganda one after another since September-at this time the film's cast has not even been fully determined.

But Paramount didn't care, because they only needed one gimmick: Hugo Lancaster, this work starring Hugo will become the first comedy in the true sense of Hugo. The movie will once again let people appreciate Hugo's comedy performance after "Friends".

Rumors in the circle say that Hugo defeated Kim Carey-the current king of Hollywood comedy-to get the opportunity to star in this work, which has become a hot topic for discussion. Since the "Geek in Disguise", Jin has exerted his exaggerated and unique performance style to the extreme and won the love of the entire North American market. In the current comedy field, almost no one can compare with him-even Billy Christo, Robin Williams is not good either.

Now, Hugo has defeated Jin, the second time in a row after the "20 Million Club", and it is still in the comedy field where Jin is best, which is enough to make everyone excited. The expectation and curiosity of "Trumen's World" has risen to a whole new level-but people can't tell whether they are looking forward to Hugo defeating Jin with an outstanding performance again, or looking forward to Hugo. On the subject of comedy, incompatibility ushered in Waterloo's fiasco, but what is certain is that no matter what the result is, it will be very exciting.

More importantly, "Trumen's World" will be Hugo's second work in which his personal remuneration reaches 20 million. At the same time, he can also participate in box office dividends. This is almost unprecedented inequality-for film companies. Said that although they do not know the specific dividend ratio, everyone can be sure that this is the first time in the history of Hollywood movies. The "20 million club" is already the top of the entire Hollywood, and Hugo can still get it. Box office dividends, which are already destined to shock the nation.

At this time, the final box office of "L.A. Confidential" did not come out, and people did not know how much Hugo's final pay was. Therefore, many people predicted that "Trumen's World" would create a new personal box office record for Hollywood actors. ——Who knows that there is no need to wait for "Trumen's World", "L.A. Confidential" has taken the lead in setting such a record.

Therefore, even if the protagonist lineup only identifies Hugo, even if the screenwriter Andrew Nicole is still revising the script, even if the crew has not yet called in, but Paramount’s propaganda department has already begun to lay the groundwork for publicity—— Just a Hugo is enough to ignite all the topics. It can be seen that they are confident in this movie.

Successively, the starring lineup of "Trumen's World" has been determined one after another. After the key actors such as Paul Giamatti (paul.) and Ed Harris (ed.) have joined, Alexander Lorraine also It is the first big news that Truman’s best friend Ma Long will appear in the movie.

Immediately after the second heavy news was announced, Kate Winslet announced that she will star in this work, and she is not the heroine, but only a supporting actress in the movie.

Since "Sense and Emotion" stunning Hollywood, Kate has not been affected too much by regretting to pass her first Oscar statuette. She soon joined the "Titanic" crew with her perseverance. , Attracting attention. Now, Kate has chosen "Trumen's World" again, and the cooperation with the first person in the United States today makes everyone very optimistic about Kate's future development prospects.

The outstanding heroine seat has become the most sought-after position in Hollywood competition, and Paramount will announce the latest news almost every other week to two weeks. At its peak, this position gathered eleven top actresses to compete for, including Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer , Charlize Theron, Jennifer Aniston and many other names, in addition to Steven Spielberg’s recommended Katherine Zeta Jones (.zeta-), Scott Rudin recommended Kate- Blanchett (cate.) is also on the list, the competition has never been fierce.

In the female protagonist's competition-in fact, including the supporting actress's competition, the major brokerage companies have used various contacts and almost endless methods. It can be said that the eight immortals cross the sea and each show their magical powers. During the release of "L.A. Confidential", " The casting process of the heroine of "Trumen's World" has also become one of the biggest gossip news.

Stepping on the tail of October, the battle for the heroine of "Trumen's World" finally came to an end. Unexpectedly, Nicole Kidman had the last laugh and successfully obtained the opportunity to cooperate with Hugo.

It is unexpected because Nicole has not been able to achieve real career success so far. In addition to winning a Golden Globe Award for "Whatever It Takes" in 1995, she is best known as "Tom G. "Mrs. Ruth", and the 1995 box office miracle "Batman Forever" she is just a supporting role. What's more, Nicole has never appeared in any comedy movie, and she is more often known as a "vase".

This also makes people have countless question marks: Can Nicole really deliver enough acting skills? Will Nicole repeat Brad's mistakes in the "Seven Deadly Sins" in front of Hugo, making the opponent's drama dull? Can Nicole really put down her body and devote herself to comedy in "Trumen's World"? Nicole's joining is a good thing or a bad thing for "Trumen's World"?

But such a result can be considered reasonable. Aside from Nicole’s agency, the innovative artist agency is currently the hottest top presence in Hollywood, Nicole’s husband Tom Cruise and Hugo’s personal relationship are well known. , And the two people have always hoped to cooperate, but unfortunately they have never found an opportunity; in addition, Stanley Kubrick, Jane Campion, Nora Efron, and David Fincher are all willing to help her Endorsement, let alone Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Cruise's friendship are very good.

In the final stage, Nicole defeated the mighty Julia Roberts and finally had the last laugh in the head-to-head competition, and successfully won the role of "Trumen's World". The entire casting process can be called an epic blockbuster, full of energy and vigor, which also makes people more curiosity and expectation for this work.

Just in the casting stage, "Trumen's World" became a big hit, and Paramount Pictures almost squeezed the residual value of the film. Even if the movie fails then, Paramount still has the commanding heights in terms of topics, but everyone knows that Paramount is so ambitious not just for the topic, they obviously have more pursuits, watch it now" Whether Truman’s world can meet Paramount’s high standards.

Today, "Trumen's World" held a grand party at the Sunset Tower Hotel to replace the usual press conference. Paramount clearly hopes that everyone can relax and enjoy the opening ceremony more freely. Of course, this is also the occasion for the budding or completion of various transactions. Paramount's abacus is known as Sima Zhao's heart, but no one can refuse this party.

Not only because of "Trumen's World", but also because many people remember that Hugo's birthday is this month. Hugo has always been very low-key, and his birthday rarely causes a sensation, and more often he just celebrates with his friends. This year is Hugo’s 30th birthday, but Hugo still has no plans. Therefore, this party has become the only occasion where everyone can send blessings to Hugo, although no one officially mentioned it But everyone tacitly agreed, just planning to surprise Hugo on the night of the party.

As a result, the Sunset Tower Hotel tonight has become the focus of the entire Los Angeles. Since only 700 invitations were sent at the scene, the scale is naturally much smaller than the Oscar Night, but each of the 700 invitations is It is worth a thousand dollars, even the upper class people rack their brains and sharpen their heads to squeeze in. Such a grand occasion far exceeds the Oscar night. It is amazing and only sighs.

When Hugo arrived at the scene, he saw the grand red carpet and a large number of reporters wandering at the door. At least two hundred people crowded the door in a bustling manner. The scene actually had the illusion of having arrived at Oscar’s night. This made Hugo look down, and then burst into laughter, "Fortunately, I was not too rude today." The reporters couldn't help but smile.

After accepting a brief interview-there will be a lot of interview time for the party inside, Hugo quickly walked into the Sunset Tower Hotel, and after only a few walks, he saw the oncoming Shirley Lansing, from her From a calm attitude, it’s hard to tell whether this is a coincidence or a deliberate one. "Look, our protagonist has arrived at the scene. No wonder I think the surroundings have become brighter just now."

"I didn't forget to bring a flashlight. I'm so lucky." Hugo's humorous response made Shirley a bright smile.
