Tom Cruise joined "Mission Impossible" with a salary of 10 million US dollars, and became a member of the filmmaker's cast, sharing the box office risk of the work together; Jon Walter and Vin Rhimes (ving.) Rhames) joined "Mission Impossible"; The crew is approaching Jean Reynaud in the hope of inviting him to join him......

It only kicked off in April, and the news about "Mission Impossible" came one after another, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

Hugo and Tom Cruise's head-to-head competition again, which ended with Tom's victory, made people lament that Hugo is an upstart after all, and Hollywood's connections are still not solid enough.

In the wave after wave of news offensive of "Mission Impossible", another piece of news was quietly announced, the official news from New Line Pictures, they did not notify the media on a large scale, but only informed two familiar media, which seemed very low-key, but as soon as the news was announced, it immediately exploded. Because the latest news is related to Hugo.

"Hugo Lancaster officially joins the 'Seven Deadly Sins.'"

Such a simple piece of news, without any additional news, immediately made the media boil. Hugo did not join "Mission Impossible", and then chose "Seven Deadly Sins", is this gambling? Or is it because the quality of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is on par with "Mission Impossible"?

Almost overnight, the "Seven Deadly Sins" were exposed by the media inside and out.

The new line film company is also very smart, and the news is released little by little, so that the news is always fresh, and more and more people pay attention to the work "Seven Deadly Sins", and the effect of the early publicity is superimposed little by little, which is not inferior to the popularity of "Mission Impossible".

"The director is David Fincher? Isn't this a newcomer, and he also smashed 'Alien 3', how could he be asked to direct? A sense of foreboding. ”

"The first person to appear in the cast is Morgan Freeman! Hugo and Morgan's first collaboration, missed the "Shawshank Redemption", and finally met in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and the drama between the two Oscar Best Actor nominees is very exciting! ”

"The second one is Gwyneth Paltrow! Steven Spielberg's goddaughter, with a hard enough background and beautiful enough, seems to have a good show! And with the support of the family, the film doesn't seem to be that simple. ”

"Brad Pitt! Following Brad and Tom in 'Interview with the Vampire', this time Brad and Hugo face each other! Are the two people's roles in the film confrontational or cooperative? What kind of sparks will the two people collide with? ”

"Brad, Hugo, Gwyneth! Do you want to start a love triangle? Exciting script character setting! ”

"Brad, a rising star in acting; Hugo, the backbone of acting; Morgan, a veteran representative of acting! The duel between the three male actors is enough to make everyone look forward to the cooperation! ”

The news changed almost every day, and the focus of the media quietly shifted from "Mission Impossible" to the "Seven Deadly Sins", discussing directors, actors, producers, investment, and scripts...... In the end, all the focus was on the three actors, especially Hugo and Brad.

There is no need for the media to incite it again, everyone clearly knows that the duel between Hugo and Brad is full of countless highlights, this time it is not a fight in the air, but two people in the same work to perform a duel, just like "Interview with the Vampire at Night", after the movie is released, it will be known by itself.

Hugo and Tom's competition for "Mission Impossible" has just come to an end, and here Hugo and Brad are about to face off head-to-head in the "Seven Deadly Sins", which almost makes the news media happy, every day is Christmas!

It's just that Tom snatched the "Mission Impossible" and finally chose the "Seven Deadly Sins", is this really a wise choice? The news media's fears reappeared, and the media, led by the New York Post, once again began to work hard for Hugo's future.

"One is a large project with an investment of 80 million US dollars, and the other is a small system with a budget of only 30 million dollars; One is an Oscar-level cast lineup with Brian De Palma, Steven Zerian, and Robert Downey, and on the other side are the little-known David Fincher and Andrew Kevin Walker; On the one hand, it is the ambitious work that Paramount focuses on, and on the other hand, it is the work of New Line Pictures that is trembling and asking for directions.

Is this really a wise choice? ”

Colin Myler has a fist heart that is completely for Hugo, but clearly lists the difference between "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins", "Since 'before sunrise', Lancaster's career has been in a dangerous situation, and it is undoubtedly wise and right to choose 'Mission Impossible' to give it a go, but unfortunately this time the gamble also failed, which once again shows the decline momentum of Lancaster's current career - lost in the showdown with Cruise."

After being abandoned by 'Mission Impossible', he chose the 'Seven Deadly Sins' and returned to the route of 'Pulp Fiction' - even more dangerous than 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Speed of Life and Death', is this really correct? Or is it the recurrence of the 'Hudson's Eagle' mistaken choice, and the 'Hudson's Eagle' curse of collapse again? ”

Unlike in the past, when Hugo was constantly questioned, now Colin appears more in a role of compassion and compassion for Hugo, and tells the crisis of the situation in the name of worrying about Hugo.

But are the "seven deadly sins" really the wrong choice? Is that really the case?

In addition to the "New York Post", naturally there are still many media calmly analyzed, and soon, they found a very interesting phenomenon, although the news about the "Seven Deadly Sins" is lively and boiling, but in fact, most of them are official news of New Line Pictures, and the official news is also very simple, and there is not much worth breaking the news.

For example, how much do the three actors get paid? Or, the always low-key Morgan Freeman ruled out, how much are Hugo and Brad paid? Who is the lead actor and who is the supporting actor? Or is it the setting of the two male protagonists like in "Interview with the Vampire at Night"?

These news are tightly covered and airtight, and there is no news at all.

The media knocked on the side for a while, and then vaguely heard that "Hugo's salary may be 10 million US dollars", but this news did not get any response from the official and Endeavor elite brokerage companies, so that everyone continued to chase the wind and shadows, and they didn't know whether it was true or not.

If it was before "Mission Impossible", people would definitely be excited about this news, because this is Hugo's first work with a salary of tens of millions since his debut thirteen years ago - of course, insiders will not think so, "Life and Death" and "Pulp Fiction" have already received a salary of 30 million for Hugo, and in terms of salary alone, Hugo is the first person in Hollywood today, there is no doubt about it.

However, after deducting the box office dividends, if you only calculate the guaranteed salary, this is indeed the first time that Hugo has received a salary of tens of millions of dollars.

But what about now? After "Mission Impossible", people have clearly known that Hugo has the ability of 20 million US dollars, and as long as Hugo is willing to nod, there will be companies that will follow him; Fifteen million dollars, if not 20 million, are at your fingertips. So, naturally, ten million is not surprising.

The point is that the "Los Angeles Times" has confirmed that "Hugo did not play the most important role". Although this news is ambiguous and does not have much reference value at all, it is like in "Interview with the Vampire", Brad obviously has more scenes than Tom, and Brad is still the core character of the story, but both of them can be the male lead, and Tom is even more brilliant. Therefore, this news is actually said to be equal to not said.

But better than nothing, at least one can be sure that Hugo is not the absolute male protagonist purely in terms of weight. If this news is true, it means that the highest salary of "Seven Deadly Sins" is not the actor, which is the first time in the world!

Soon there was a lot of gossip about the "Seven Deadly Sins" circulating, Brad was the male lead, and Hugo was the second male lead with a little less weight, but Brad's salary was only five million, but Hugo got ten million, and this pattern of no distinction between the two people also made the confrontation between the two more tense.

Although none of these news has been officially confirmed, the brokerage companies of Hugo and Brad are also tight-lipped; But the media couldn't hold back anymore, and all the hype was boiling and noisy.

If this qiē is true, then Hugo starred in "Seven Deadly Sins", and the salary he received was the same as Tom Cruise in "Mission Impossible", and Hugo also beat Brad in the same show, and the confrontation between the two is not inferior to the big production of "Mission Impossible".

What's more, there is a rumor circulating in the circle that Endeavor Elite Agency has been planning not "Mission Impossible", but "Seven Deadly Sins", Rick spent countless efforts to win the role of "Seven Deadly Sins" for Hugo, and defeated Kevin Spacey at the last moment to win the role. Moreover, Rick also used the two works of Clint and Al and Warner Bros. as a trading condition, in exchange for Hugo's 10 million remuneration in "The Seven Deadly Sins".

Although Warner Bros. and New Line Pictures are two separate divisions of Time Warner, they still talk to each other.

This news has not been announced by the media, because it involves secrets in the Hollywood circle, and reporters know very well what can be published and what cannot be reported. But it caused an uproar in the circle, if this is really the case, then Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company is really playing a good game of chess this time.

Although he lost "Mission Impossible", he won over Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount and New Line, and won the right to participate in five works such as "Toy Story", "Dream of the Covered Bridge", "Stolen Fire", "Brave Death Island" and "Seven Deadly Sins", and also let Hugo get a salary of 10 million US dollars as a non-protagonist.

The innovative artist agency looks to be a big win, Tom Cruise won "Mission Impossible", and Brad Pitt became the leading actor of "Seven Deadly Sins", but suffered a dumb loss.

This move is really shocking to watch, and more importantly, Rick spent so much effort to win the "Seven Deadly Sins" for Hugo, obviously not chosen randomly, so will the "Seven Deadly Sins" really be as unbearable as the "New York Post" feared?

Now it seems that the outcome is unpredictable. Not only between works, between actors, but also between companies!
