Chapter 1896: Defeated across the board
"L.A. Confidential" has not stopped making history, but the challenging journey of "Peacemaker" was ended after only the first weekend.
In the next week, the "Peacemaker" saw a 40% drop in the box office, with only 5.6 million in box office, and a cumulative box office of 19 million U.S. dollars in two weeks. This also means that all the doubts have been settled, not to mention the 15% decline, even the decline below 30% has not been controlled, and the decline of up to 40% has almost It was a devastating blow, which has officially marked: the film’s $50 million cost cannot be recovered, and losses are inevitable.
Before the release of "Peacemaker", no one could have expected such an ending, not even Ron Meyer. George, who had high hopes, handed in a disappointing answer: the two previous works failed miserably in just three months, not to mention "against Hugo", even among the second-line actors have become the standout. A goal that is almost impossible to accomplish.
From the momentum of the propaganda war, to the professional evaluation of the work itself, to the audience's feedback on the work, then to the response from the box office, and finally to the response from the surrounding market. The two works of "Batman and Robin" and "Peacemaker" were defeated across the board, and there was almost no room for face preservation-"Batman and Robin barely braked before losing money. "Recovering costs" is not good news.
If someone says "George vs Hugo", it will usher in a defeat across the board, and it will probably be laughed off by a group of people around him. Because even Brad has not fallen to this point-the collision of "Night Interview with Vampires" and "Life and Death Speed" still gave the former a good appraisal; although the head-on confrontation of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was defeated, it was approaching 200 million. The dollar box office still became the most eye-catching result on Brad's resume. And George is better than Brad in every aspect, not to mention the strong influence of the "emergency room story" in the United States. So, defeat across the board? Even if the opponent is Hugo, this is impossible.
But the reality is so cruel. In addition to the hot topics during the propaganda period that won the hearts of many women for George, his 1997 year was not only lackluster, it could be said that it was a total disaster. It can almost be said to have directly ruined George's "big screen dream".
The news about George in the media seemed to disappear overnight, and no one even mentioned the fiasco of George’s defeat to Hugo—because this fact is so commonplace, as if the British media kept mentioning The title of "successor to the chieftain", but every time it was only a flash of inspiration, it was immediately obliterated in history, and then they immediately placed this title on other emerging bands. Now, the title of "Hugo Challenger" is the same.
The "New York Post" sprinkled a handful of salt on George's wound, and wrote a commentary about this massive failure. But the feedback received is not much, because even ordinary people are used to Hugo's strength, no one will take this as news. Apart from sympathy, there was nothing they could give George.
No one cares about George, but in just a few months, George has become the yellow flower of tomorrow.
The reality is so cruel, even if George is still the most attractive actor in "Emergency Room Story", even if the audience is still crazy about him, but in the field of movies, the name "George Clooney" is not fast enough. The tendency to hide their ears disappears on the list of actors in various projects-no one wants to invest in an actor who can't get a return, and this actor will even drag the entire movie project into the water, which is even more shunned.
George looked like a "little mermaid", watching the victor walk towards the center of the carnival, but he became a bubble bit by bit and disappeared on the calm sea.
It has never been easy for small-screen actors to make a career on the big screen. TV drama groups are transformed into movie theater audiences. This thorny road has been tried by countless people, and the winners are rare. But what is certain is that George is not one of them for the time being.
Faced with such a result, George could hardly maintain his calmness. Although in the "Emergency Room Story" crew, he still maintained his grace and calmness, sticking to his most familiar and most successful position, and devoted himself to the new season. During the shooting, but in fact, he has spent all his energy on patience, so that he has no way to concentrate during the shooting. As long as there is a little gap, he will feel the monstrous shame surging. Come.
Because of "Hugo Lancaster", this is a keyword that Hollywood can't avoid. Even though the "Emergency Room Story" crew has taken into consideration George’s feelings and tried to avoid mentioning it, the faint whispers behind it are more offensive, which makes George feel like a poor worm who can’t stand a blow. Everyone sympathized with him, as if all the sights falling on him were prickly. But for the sake of his own image, he couldn't get angry and couldn't argue, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
This feeling almost drives him crazy.
When he got home, George began to pick up the scissors and attack the pillow frantically. The feathers and cotton wool alleviated his inner anger and shame, "Hugo Lancaster! I'm going to kill you, I Yes! Kill! You!" George picked up the scissors fiercely and madly poked the huge pillow in front of him. He even cut his palm too hard, dripping with blood, but he didn't even notice the flying sky. Xu has been stained with blood, but her eyes are constantly piercing red, venting all the negative emotions in her heart.
It was not until he was exhausted that George let out a long breath, and he lay down in a mess. George is a person with good self-control. He rarely loses control of his emotions. In his memory, he has almost never seen such a situation since he was thirty years old, because George knows deeply that he wants to make a breakthrough in Hollywood. In a day, poor emotional control will not help. On the contrary, learning to control emotions and learn to build an image is one of the must-haves.
The most successful example is Tom Cruise, the American idol in the 1980s, who almost tailor-made an idol image, and persevered all the way, and achieved incredible success. George also hopes to replicate this route. He needs to create his own characteristics and charm, and then carry it forward.
George is a smart man, no doubt, so he succeeded. Just seized a small opportunity given by Tracy.
"Tracy Jacobs..." George whispered the name softly, "Tracy Jacobs..." This name, which has been completely forgotten by Hollywood, is the key to his success. Now, George finally realized what Tracy felt at the beginning: it was like losing to Hugo, and it was heartbreaking.
The failure of the "Peacemaker" is not unacceptable, because George knows deeply that any Hollywood work may succeed or fail. This is the charm of Hollywood. The overnight fame may make everyone rush to fame, but he must also bear failure. Risk to nothing.
But for George, the "peacemaker" is a shame, because in the face of his provocation-the accident on the "David Late Show", Hugo did not even take the initiative to fight, not only did not say anything in the media The remarks did not mention any related topics in the circle, as if they were just trivial incidents. But that's it. Hugo didn't spend any effort at all. In an understatement, he won the final victory. What is even more shameful is that the failures of "Peacemaker" and "Batman and Robin" are exactly the same: terrible work, Terrible role, terrible word of mouth, even without Hugo's action, George has already killed himself. No wonder Hugo dismissed it.
Such a shame made George think that he was standing naked under the public, accepting everyone's criticism and comments. He could not wait to wipe his neck and he was unwilling to accept such treatment. This is even more embarrassing than the Oasis Band and Mariah Carey.
The disastrous defeat in the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown is a shame to many people. But George knew that at least the Oasis and Maria had achieved what they wanted-topical hype, public attention, and the final self-breakthrough: their achievements have created their own best ~ www.wuxiaspot. com~ Although they all lost miserably to Hugo, although they all contrasted Hugo's incredible, but at least they all succeeded.
However, George had nothing, except for a piece of chicken feathers. He didn't even have **** to cover his shame, and he didn't even let him use his hands to cover important parts. This kind of shame of Chiguoguo penetrates deep into the bones.
"Tracy Jacobs...Tracy..." George kept chanting the name repeatedly. It was because of this woman that he was given the opportunity to play Batman. Joe Schumacher and him are both With the help of Tracy, they started their own business, but both of them died at the same time because of the movie "Batman and Robin". Whether it was him or Joe, it would be difficult for him to receive a good script in a short time. Up.
The Avengers. "Humph", George sneered slightly. This was a shame brand, deeply burned in his blood. "I have paid back what I owe you. Then, I will think about myself." George realized that Tracy has become a thing of the past and can no longer be his fetters, and to fight against Hugo, this is him. Destiny-he can't choose to forget after accepting such a shame, but he knows that he needs to change the way, "Maybe, I should be friends with Hugo."
At the same time as enemies, but still friends. It's like playing politics. Those who ruled are average.
