Superstar

After Hugo officially decided to star in "Death Convict's Walk", the circle suddenly became turbulent, and the dark tide was raging.

Before Rick announced this decision, DreamWorks preemptively announced that they would invest $10 million in the "Death Row" project. In this announcement, DreamWorks did not introduce the work too much, but mentioned that it was adapted from the novel of the same name by the nun Helen Prekin. Tim Robbins will serve as the screenwriter and director of the film. It is also Tim's second work after the 1992 "Born to Winner (..

The news did not attract much attention. On the one hand, Tim was not an actor with a lot of topics. On the other hand, the original novel is not a widely influential work. It has attracted discussions from some religious organizations because of "Death Row". The original work was written by a nun.

Professionals generally believe that DreamWorks, which was just established in October last year, is proceeding in an orderly manner. They are not in a hurry to immediately invest in the rhythm of large-scale production-after all, they are independent studios with limited funds. After "before", they once again chose independent films.

However, this time from the investment of 2.5 million yuan "before sunrise" to 10 million yuan, the "Death Row" project is obviously worth looking forward to.

But the news connected and triggered a series of undercurrents.

In the twentieth century, Fox directly abandoned the "Far from Casino" project and devoted all of its energy to another project called "Walk in the Clouds (a.walk.in.the.. This film was developed by Keanu-ri. Starring Weiss.

In addition, there is a project called "Love is the only (she's. the. one that has passed the high-level review and is currently working on a budget. Cameron Diaz appears on the waiting list of actors for this work. , Alexander Lorraine, Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Leonardo DiCaprio and many other names.

DreamWorks also plans to collaborate with Twentieth Century Fox on another project. This project has not been named yet, but it is temporarily called "The Unstoppable Miracle (that...!. The whole project intends to review the glorious rock music of the 1960s and tells about it. A story about rock and roll. Rumors-There are no confirmed rumors. This project was created by Tom Hanks from the experience of glory to death. I heard that Tom was temporarily after watching "Before Sunrise". Intent to write.

The rumors also say that 20th Century Fox hopes to persuade members of the glory to the death to star in this movie, and Tom is very satisfied with the heroine Charlize Theron of "Before Sunrise" and prefers her to play an important role. But at present there is no definite news about this project, everything is rumors, rumors that catch the wind.

Soon after, there was new news from 20th Century Fox that they would spend 50 million US dollars to shoot a work called "Broken Arrow (.. The work will be produced by Wu, who has achieved great success in the Chinese film industry. Yu. Directed by Mori, this is his second work after entering Hollywood.

After the unconcerned "far from gambling city" was abandoned by Twentieth Century Fox, the situation took a turn for the worse, and he could not find a production company willing to invest in it. Just when Mike Feggis was about to give up, he took hold of it. As a life-saving straw, an independent film production company that has only been established for only a year has spent four million dollars in budget investment in this work.

These messages are very trivial, and it is obviously not an easy task to connect all of them without knowing it. But some insiders knew clearly that another undercurrent was coming quietly.

Subsequently, Endeavour Elite Agency officially confirmed that Hugo will play the leading role of "Death Row" and play with Susan Sarandon.

In an instant, all the news media became lively.

Of course, most people don’t even know the connection between "Death Row" and "Stay away from Casino", because these two works are too low-key, and they will naturally not know that after Hugo chose "Death Row" What is the significance of Fox's actions in the 20th century? At least on the surface, it's just that Fox and DreamWorks have some strategic cooperation in the 20th century.

However, the media can sensitively smell the strangeness in the air. For example, Twentieth Century Fox apparently has further cooperation with Endeavour Elite Agency, and many works are aimed at their artists; for example, DreamWorks and Rain Guo began to collaborate again. This is the second work after DreamWorks was founded, and it is all related to Hugo. This time Steven is the producer himself; for example, the 20th Century Fox chose this time and dream. The factory launches strategic cooperation.

I have to say that although no clear signs have been revealed, it is clear that there is an unknown connection between the Twentieth Century Fox, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, and DreamWorks.

This makes people have to think of the "Mission Impossible" casting incident that attracted the attention of everyone in the circle a few months ago. In that incident, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company demonstrated its excellent layout ability, and it was revealed behind the scenes. Out of their close cooperation with Paramount, Warner Bros. and other companies.

And this time, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company went a step further. The strategic relationship with Twentieth Century Fox has faintly surfaced. Although it needs time to prove further, there is no doubt that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has Quietly occupy a place in the future planning of major film companies.

From the "Mission Impossible" casting to the joining of Michael Jackson, to this time, if there is nothing to be involved, no one can ignore the strength of Endeavour's elite brokerage company.

What’s more interesting is that "Death Row" is a collaboration between an innovative artist agency and Endeavour Elite Agency, which makes it hard not to associate: Hugo and Tom Cruise are already close friends, "Die Zhong "Spy" was a healthy competition at the time, and in the end Hugo joining the "Seven Deadly Sins" seemed to be a win-win situation. At the same time, Hugo and Brad were competitors, but the two still worked together in the "Seven Deadly Sins"; now Hugo and Di Robbins and Susan Sarandon collaborated on "Death Row".

As we all know, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and International Innovation Management Company are incompatible rivals. Does this mean that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has turned the innovative artist brokerage company into an ally? Even if they are not allies, the two sides seem to have no smell of gunpowder.

The seemingly mundane "death prisoner's walk" and the many news hidden behind it are full of imagination. And in all these involvements, there is a common key factor: Hugo Lancaster.

Regardless of whether you are willing to admit it or not, the facts are indisputable. Hugo now has such an ability. His every move will trigger a chain reaction and affect his whole body.

There are several people in Hollywood with this ability. Tom Cruise is one, Harrison Ford is one, and Steven Spielberg is one. The huge network behind them radiates to every corner of Hollywood. They Every decision made by the company will have a far-reaching impact, which is why people generally emphasize that they have a heavy responsibility. They themselves have become an inseparable part of the industrial chain.

Now, Hugo also has such qualifications.

Even setting aside these hidden networks, Hugo's choice of "Death Row" as a new work is already shocking enough.

This is the second work that Hugo has taken in just three months. Although it is said that the "Seven Deadly Sins" invested 30 million, and the "Death Prisoner Walk" invested 10 million, it was compared with "Pulp Fiction" and "Japanese". There is already a big difference in terms of "before coming out". The cost of the "seven deadly sins" is even higher than the "speed of life and death"; but strictly speaking, Hugo's two works are still lopsided, still not getting rid of the minority. route.

People originally thought that "Mission Impossible" meant that Hugo had a yearning for acting in a blockbuster in the traditional sense, but now it seems that this is obviously just a misunderstanding.

Although both DreamWorks and Endeavour Elite did not mention Hugo’s pay, Rick only said that “Hugo Friendship Appears”, and Tim and Steven’s friendship made Hugo drop the price to appear in “Death Convict Walk”; but from the cost of investment It can be seen that Hugo’s salary will definitely not exceed one million US dollars, because the same show also has a Susan Sarandon who can earn at least six million. Of course, Susan is because her partner is the director. , It is a matter of course to drop the pay.

But now Hugo’s pay is no longer the focus of attention. Everyone knows that as long as Hugo nods, a large group of production companies waving 15 million checks will flock to www.wuxiaspot.com~ The point is. In terms of subject matter and investment, "Death Prisoner's Walk" is obviously a profound literary work. Even if it is not "Schindler's List", it is at least a work of "Scent of a Woman". And this time Hugo plays the leading role and plays with Susan. Does that mean he has the hope of hitting the Oscars for the second year in a row?

Before the filming of "Death Row" even started, people began to think of Oscars. It can also be seen from here that people now trust in Hugo's acting skills.

But this time, the media gave very limited attention to the "death prisoner's walk". Except for the "Los Angeles Times", almost no other media gave more reports. Even the "Los Angeles Times", known as the "Hugo Mouthpiece", did not actually report in detail, but just issued an official press release. , The content is boring simply and clear.

There are no interviews, no special topics, no series of bombing reports, no overwhelming doubts and condemnations, and no continuous pre-publicity... Hugo's filming of "Death Convict Walk" news is like a drop of oil falling into the cold water. Before it had time to smoke, it disappeared.

Compared with the speculation of people in the circle, the quietness of the news media is very uncomfortable, and even the "New York Post" rarely shuts up. This is really a very weird thing.
