ads_wz_txt;
Can "Sleepless in Seattle" actually get 100 million box office in the North American market? This is estimated to be laughed off by people a few months ago, even Columbia Pictures itself dare not say so, but now after the movie is released, it is actually showing such a "color", this is indeed broken by many people. glasses.
But the film has been successful, the film company is naturally very happy, Columbia Pictures is waiting to count the money, other film companies are aiming at the appeal of the two leading actors, but for a small number of people, it is not such a pleasant experience. , Especially Hugo relied on this movie to signal his strong return, which is not good news.
Although outsiders don’t know, Sidney knows the twists and turns in the preparations for "Sugar Coated Trap". In fact, Sidney is really optimistic about Hugo's role in "Sugar Coated Trap". Unfortunately, in the end, because After considering the plans of Tracy Jacobs, Ron Meyer, Martin Baum and others, Sidney chose to abandon Hugo and turned the "sugar-coated trap" into a trap to contain Hugo. This has caused Hugo's downturn for nearly half a year.
Strictly speaking, Sidney did not lose much, because he hacked Tracy and others at the last minute, abandoned Brad Pitt and chose Tom Cruise. Under the leadership of Tom, the "Sugar Coated Trap" received 110 million U.S. dollars at the box office four weeks after the release, and it was also particularly fascinating.
If placed at any other time, the performance of "Sugar-Coated Trap" is enough to show Sidney's face, but he happened to encounter "Night Sleep in Seattle", a love movie starring Hugo. Under the optimistic situation, the cumulative box office for five weeks after the release was as high as 120 million, and the outbreak of the "sugar-coated trap" was suppressed for three consecutive weeks, which really made Sidney quite aggrieved.
It's not that Tom's performance is not good enough, but Sidney will inevitably think: It is indeed a pity to miss Hugo. Moreover, Sidney’s friend Steven Spielberg also publicly expressed his appreciation for Hugo, and Sidney’s friend Meryl Streep also seemed to have no interest in Hugo. Sidney can't help but think of Hugo's performance at the New Year's Eve party. Sidney can't help but wonder what it would be like if he could really cooperate with Hugo.
Of course, in the Hollywood world, no actor is indispensable. To be precise, no one is indispensable in any position, and anyone can be replaced. Therefore, it is regrettable to miss Hugo, but Sidney will not always remember it, just think about it. After all, Tom has also dedicated a'fine' performance. Although the performance of "Sugar Coated Trap" is not as expected, it is still It's satisfying enough.
However, even Sidney has such thoughts, Tracy, as the client, is even more uncomfortable. She can also feel Hugo catching up with her quickly. First, she cooperated with Steven "Schindler's List". "Let’s not talk about the performance of this film after it was released. From Steven’s attitude recently, we can see that they had a very pleasant collaboration. This is not good news for Tracy; and "Seattle The success of "Night Sleepless" has allowed Hugo to successfully rank among the first line.
At present, Tracy knows that the estimated salary for Hugo in the circle is about 10 million US dollars. In other words, Hugo relied on the box office of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Sleepless in Seattle". 'Performance, has successfully got rid of the influence of the Golden Raspberry Award and the three works of "Hudson's Eagle", and has come to a position that has not been reached before.
If Hugo can continue to have a stable performance in the future, then he will have a firm foothold as a first-line actor, regardless of whether he can attack the top stage in the future, Tracy knows that generally speaking, actors are among the " It will be difficult to lose value after “first-line”. Unless there are several consecutive works severely hit the pot, they will not come out after entering the 10 million film club.
So Tracy knows that the confrontation between "Schindler's List" and "Farewell to Sentimental Heaven" is her last chance. If she can't snipe Hugo here, then Hugo will truly be on the front line after this year, and she can even rely on " The success of Schindler's list" goes even further, and Tracy's advantages are scarce, and it will not be so easy for her to continue to suppress Hugo.
The success of "Sleepless in Seattle" was undoubtedly a huge blow for Tracy. She actually leaked another opportunity from her hands, and Hugo grasped it in this way, and also created incredible The success. Tracy was heartbroken, causing her to lose control and furious several times in the "Farewell to Love God" crew.
But even if Tracey is angry and angry, what can happen, things are already a foregone conclusion. The only thing she can do at present is to put all her ‘essential’ efforts into the production of "Farewell to the Sentimental Heaven", hoping that this work can achieve a fatal blow. If "Farewell You Tian" defeated "Schindler's List", it would be a great drink to Hugo, who is in the recovery period, and it could even hit Hugo badly.
As long as you imagine the tragedy of Hugo after the success of "Farewell to Sentimental Heaven", Tracy will be able to regain infinite power! "Hugo Lancaster! This is just the beginning!" Tracy clenched her fists through gritted teeth.
Compared with the anger and loss of competitors, Hugo and Joseph ushered in the long-lost sunshine.
Joseph finally breathed a sigh of relief from the victory of "Sleepless in Seattle". On the one hand, he chose box office dividends in a gambling style, and finally got a generous return. Now he is a top actor with a salary of 15 million US dollars. The club, although Hugo relies on box office dividends to achieve this level, the real salary level should still be between 8 million and 10 million, but this is still the biggest victory since Joseph took over Hugo.
On the other hand, it is because Joseph has also benefited a lot. Leaving aside the additional effects, just saying that Joseph can get the ‘raise’ this time, it will clear the money Joseph owes Hugo. Of course, Joseph is not a partner of the company yet. His "raise" must be divided with the company, and he must also pay taxes, so the amount in Joseph's hands will not be as much as on the books, but this is for Joseph. Still a huge improvement.
Sure enough, there are countless ways to succeed in the entertainment industry, but the work is the essence. Relying on hype or topic to temporarily attract attention, there is no way to last. Only successive masterpieces can pile up the achievements of artists step by step. The ‘sex’ victory in the “Sleepless in Seattle” stage gave Hugo a respite in the confrontation with Tracy, which also allowed Joseph to regain his confidence.
At present, major media are preaching that many large film companies are targeting Hugo, the new popular king, hoping to use Hugo's popularity to add fire to their works. But in fact, Joseph did not have as many scripts as he imagined. After all, a love movie like "Night Sleep in Seattle" shows that Hugo's potential and strength are very limited.
More importantly, after Joseph understood the important'sex' of the work, he was not in a hurry to approach the script for Hugo. After experiencing the awakening of the Golden Globe incident, Joseph knew that impatience and pride would not help. . Moreover, Hugo has said before that he does not want to appear in any film works for the time being. The sequelae caused by "Schindler's List" still makes Hugo unable to quickly integrate into the new filming, so Joseph plans to This is a selection of Hugo's next work "Fine".
Before, Joseph considered how to arrange Hugo's actor's path, and now Joseph finally won the opportunity, he can calm down and think about it. Joseph does not want to be too reckless.
So, to everyone's surprise, Hugo disappeared after the success of "Sleepless in Seattle".
As Hugo's agent, Joseph began to look for an assistant candidate for Hugo on the one hand, and he started his own agent work on the other. After the success of the three works before and after Hugo, it is hoped that the actors with Joseph as his agent will gradually start to emerge. Among them are newcomers and actors who have achieved certain results. Joseph must make his own judgment and then sign his own first. The second, or even the third, actor fully expanded his work as an agent.
It can be said that Joseph has entered the busiest stage in the past two years, and he is really enjoying the additional effects brought about by Hugo's success.
On the contrary, Hugo really relaxed and completely disappeared from the spotlight. The publicity period of "Night in Seattle" was only two weeks long. After the publicity ended, Columbia Pictures originally wanted to extend the publicity period ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but it was rejected by Hugo and Meg at the same time. , Columbia Pictures’ indifference before the film’s release obviously puts them at a disadvantage, and the promotional period for the two actors to be signed is only two weeks. Columbia Pictures has no means to restrain the actors, even director Nora Efron. Without saying much, this also brought the propaganda period of "Sleepless in Seattle" to an end. Fortunately, this did not affect the movie's box office advancement.
After leaving the movie screen, Hugo returned to the practice of the Glory To Death band and began to prepare for the band’s US road tour. In the past year, Hugo’s songs have far exceeded the weight of an album. Coupled with the creations of Neil, Fokkin and others, there is no problem at all for them to go on a street tour.
However, the so-called glorious to death tour is not a formal tour, but a free performance on the streets of every city, which is more like a "wandering" performance than a "tour". The band hopes to accumulate more experience through this kind of performance. For the band, a hundred hours of practice is not as good as ten hours of street performance. Maybe academic professional education can bring solid basic skills, but let the band What really shows off is not the boring practice in the warehouse or school. The band should gradually grow up in countless performances.
The craze of "Sleepless in Seattle" is gradually brewing. After Independence Day, glory to death embarked on a new and unfamiliar journey!
