In the long history of American culture and history, the existence of the "Star Wars" series is of extraordinary significance, because this work allows people to truly see the charm of movies: it turns countless fantasies in their minds into reality, and makes the impossible possible. This series of movies created a magnificent galaxy outer space system, many of which have unparalleled influence on later space science fiction movies.

This kind of influence is deeply rooted in culture.

Maybe George Lucas has never won the Oscar statuette, maybe "Star Wars" is just an ordinary commercial film in the eyes of many young people, but the series of films in the seventies is equivalent to today's "Titanic" Number", almost changed the course of history by oneself.

"Jaws" in 1975, "Star Wars" in 1977, and "Indiana Jones" in 1981. After these three works, the film industry has truly entered the "commercial era", and its box office performance has increased several levels.

Now, after fifteen years, Lucasfilm has announced that it will once again launch the "Star Wars" series, which will shoot the prequel trilogy. Focus on the historical background of Luke Skywalker's father-Anakin Skywalker-from the Jedi Knight to the Dark Knight.

Now they have grown into the backbone of American society, and their unparalleled enthusiasm spread in every corner. Even major TV shows can't wait to start discussing this topic. The film is just a project, it has entered the rhythm of the carnival.

The "Star Wars Prequel" series was established in just two weeks, and the "San Francisco Chronicle" has linked this classic series with the most influential actors in the world today, such as "Star Wars" and Hugo-Lankai. What chemical effect will happen when a collision occurs? then. Everyone is crazy.

The "San Francisco Chronicle" vowed in the news that producer Catherine Kennedy had reached a preliminary agreement with Hugo. The two parties had a very happy conversation, obviously they had a positive attitude towards cooperation, and attached relevant photos-above the photos, Hugo and Catherine walked side by side. Rick stood at the rear on the right, exposing one-third of his cheeks, and there was a fuzzy figure at the rear on the left, which was not clearly visible in the photo, but it was not important. What was important was the sloppy expressions of Hugo and Catherine. Obviously with ease.

In an instant, the truthfulness of this news skyrocketed.

According to incomplete statistics, this issue of the San Francisco Chronicle has sold more than 4 million copies. And in the head-to-head matchup, it defeated the "Los Angeles Times", which was the first time in history that the former beat the latter in terms of sales. Created an incredible record, which shows the madness of the entire West Coast.

After the "San Francisco Chronicle" broke the news, almost all the media in the United States went crazy. More than 400 media were swarming towards Endeavour Elite Agency and Lucas Pictures, hoping to confirm this in the first place. The authenticity of the news; within North America, more than 700 radio and television media paid attention to this "gossip" in the first place. More than 10 million listeners immediately heard the news, and the indirect impact extended to more than 50 million in just one week.

"Star Wars" meets Hugo Lancaster. Even the "Titanic" could not stop such a powerful influence.

Regarding this news, there are fans who support, many people think that Hugo has made the wisest choice, he can also inject new vitality into the series; fans who oppose, they think that Hugo and "Star Wars" Hugo’s temperament does not match, but Hugo’s joining will destroy this classic series; there are lively audiences who have limited understanding of "Star Wars"-especially young people of the new generation. After paying attention to this news, they began to follow up Development has generated interest.

But there is no doubt that this news became the hottest news in North America in April, and it almost made people feel the heat of midsummer in advance.

Catherine almost started to work when she saw the headline of the San Francisco Chronicle. Before she could read the main text of the news, she already understood what was going on: it was a trap, and Rick carefully arranged it. trap. In fact, when Robert Iger mastered all the initiative and proposed a formal meeting with Hugo, Rick was already calculating.

Robert’s biggest bargaining chip is: Hugo has no way of rejecting the "superior sixth sense", because Robert almost understood Hugo’s ideas and gave a reason why Hugo could not refuse—and Robert did not commit Mark-Khan. Dun, Long Meyer and their previous mistakes, they chose a script that they thought Hugo would definitely like, but after all, they were only considering from the standpoint of the company, and they didn’t really understand Hugo’s preferences. After careful analysis by Robert , Selected the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural".

In Knight's view, it was he who took the initiative to ask Hugo to star in his own work, which promoted this collaboration. But in fact, the "supernatural sixth sense" is just a **** in Robert's hands. The investment of 60 million US dollars, the unique attraction of the horror type, the solid and sincere script, the full and complicated main characters...It can be said that this is the first time that a person is truly 100% accurate after the strong rise of Hugo. Grasp Hugo's preferences!

The whole Hollywood is thinking: how they should impress Hugo, but now Robert is one step ahead and successfully landed in Normandy.

But now, Rick has given another answer: knowing Hugo's preferences does not mean everything, because the unique taste and perspective of Hugo's selection of scripts are elusive.

Thinking back to the grand premiere of "Independence Day", George Lucas, who had been reluctant to show up in front of the media for a long time, arrived at the scene in person to support Hugo, and he never concealed his appreciation for Hugo in his words. Someone was there at that time. After jokingly tentatively asking if George would be willing to cooperate with Hugo; after the "Titanic" became a big hit, as the person in charge of behind-the-scenes special effects, George once again mentioned Hugo's whimsy in an interview. , I think Hugo has given a lot of inspiration to the development of special effects work.

In addition, everyone knows that Steven Spielberg and Hugo have a close personal relationship. With Steven’s matchmaking, the relationship between Hugo and George is really good.

George's friendship, coupled with the prestige of "Star Wars", is another invitation that Hugo cannot refuse.

While "Titanic" has achieved countless brilliance, in fact, people have also explored an unrealistic possibility-if Hugo replaces Leonardo, will the box office almost create a new high, such as North America Seven Billion box office and the like. This is not to belittle Leonardo, but to wonder where the limits of North American box office potential are.

However, there is no way to verify this speculation, but now it is possible for "Star Wars Prequel" to verify this idea of ​​people, which almost makes the eight major Hollywood studios excited, from "Independence Day" to "Titanic." , Is it now that the "Star Wars Episode" has to take another step?

In the face of "Star Wars Prequel", the advantages of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" are lost. Although the styles of the two works are completely different, one is a commercial blockbuster and the other is a low-cost production. Hugo has always favored low-cost works; but This time the opponent is "Star Wars." No one can stand up straight in front of this series of works and say with absolute confidence that "my works are more attractive." nobody!

In an instant, Robert's biggest bargaining chip was exhausted, and the effects of all previous plans were minimized. More importantly, even if Robert knew that this was Rick’s strategy, he had to be dumb to eat coptis, because he knew that as long as one is not careful, Hugo can completely abandon the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" and choose "Star Wars Prequel". ", it can even be said that even if he goes all out, Hugo may also choose "Star Wars Prequel."

This move is calm and powerful, murderous, and a fatal blow!

Catherine also had to admire Rick's plan, it is estimated that some time before this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he, David Geffen, Jeffrey Katzenberg had planned. Although Steven Spielberg is now involved in the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" and temporarily ignores the affairs of DreamWorks, no one can ignore the abilities of the other two giants.

Catherine now has two choices, because Hugo has actually agreed to play the "Supernatural Sixth Sense"-of course, there is no contract yet, everything may change, but Catherine can choose to tell Robert or shut up. Obviously, Catherine was also included in Rick's calculation.

Catherine can't always have both sides, she must choose a position: DreamWorks or Bowei Films, or more accurately, who is Kennedy/Michelle Films more willing to cooperate with in the future? The former is an independent studio that has just been established but has three giants. The latter belongs to Disney and is the nation's top giant. This is a difficult choice.

After hesitating again and again, Catherine chose to shut up and was tied to the chariot of DreamWorks.

At the same time, Robert seemed to turn a deaf ear to the uproar of the news. His calm and calm posture made the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" project fall into a short stalemate in the past few days. But the news of "Star Wars Prequel" has continued to ferment and heat up again! (To be continued)
