After passing through the layers of reporters, even if Hugo was wearing sunglasses, he could still feel the dazzling flash penetrating from the side, constantly stinging his eyes, and finally left the airport and got into the van sent by Rick and Lawson, Hugo suddenly had a feeling of escape.

But the reporters were still unwilling to let go of Hugo, a large group of reporters ran to the front of the car, raised the camera and pressed the shutter continuously on the inside of the car, and the entire carriage was illuminated, which made Hugo quite overwhelmed, and Samora, who was sitting next to him, was even more dumbfounded: If he encountered such a situation while driving, what should he do? Just run over? Not good......

The driver sent by Rick had apparently anticipated this situation, and he showed Samora the correct way to deal with the encirclement.

I saw the driver start the car, and then slowly drove forward, the front of the car soon topped a large group of reporters, at a rough glance, there were at least ten or more people, and there were many reporters on both sides who were clinging to the glass and constantly pressing the shutter on the inside of the car, and they all followed the start of the car, "never abandoned" the door, and continued to move forward.

But the driver did not stop the car, but maintained this pace slower than a walk to continue to move forward, the front of the group of reporters was pushed forward by the front of the car, after all, the human body to fight against the car, it is still impossible, this is the real Hollywood, not the Hollywood movie.

Then I can see that the speed of the car is increasing little by little, although it is only from walking to the speed of normal walking, the reporters on both sides of the car can still cling closely, but there are already people falling behind in front of the front of the car, because they are all backwards, the whole person is hanging on the front of the car, and after the car accelerates, their backward pace will not keep up. Now there are only two options: get swept under the wheel, or get out of the way.

In fact, at this time, the photos that reporters want to take are almost the same, but the paparazzi have this habit: they are not willing to give up if they don't push the artist to the extreme and don't watch the artist completely out of their control. At this point, it's time to give up, so they don't really give their lives. So reporters began to get out of the way from the front of the car.

With the first and the second, the speed of the car gradually increased, and when the speed reached the speed of jogging, there was no one in front of the front of the car, but there were still reporters running desperately on both sides.

The driver still increased the speed unhurriedly, and then you could clearly see that the reporters who had been clinging to the car like leeches began to retreat one by one, and when everyone had retreated, the driver stepped on the accelerator and accelerated violently...... Turning around suddenly, I saw a large string of unwilling tails still chasing behind, but obviously, they couldn't catch up.

The car drove away, and a large group of reporters could only eat dust in the back.

Samora involuntarily whistled, "This skill I must learn." "There will definitely be no shortage of things to besiege Hugo in the future, and he must learn how to deal with it.

Joseph turned his head to look at the group of at least thirty or more reporters behind him, and asked, "Is there anything going on in Los Angeles lately?" Why are there so many journalists?"

"Twentieth Century Fox officially began the second round of 'Life and Death' propaganda on Thursday." The driver was an unfamiliar face, but obviously an insider, and he knew the point of Joseph's topic at once. Thursday is the day Hugo participates in the Circuit Rock Festival.

Generally speaking, Hugo won the Cannes Best Actor and returned with honor, and it is very normal for reporters to visit, Quentin and they staggered the time and still stayed in Cannes, on the one hand, to further promote the film in Europe, and on the other hand, in fact, to avoid the peak of reporters.

But the enthusiasm of today's on-site reporters is obviously a little too exaggerated, and there are too many visitors, even if Quentin, who won the Palme d'Or, returns is estimated to be this kind of Cheng dù. Although Hugo won important acting awards one after another within two months, which is indeed a hot topic, this scene still exceeded expectations.

Although Joseph is now Hugo's manager, his acumen as an agent immediately saw the problem and immediately grasped the core of the problem. Obviously, as a manager, Joseph can play a far greater role than an agent, and this is the stage where he can really show his talents - as for how big this stage is, it depends on how far Hugo can go in the future.

After Joseph heard the driver's answer, he was stunned, and immediately realized that Twentieth Century Fox wanted to use Hugo's shareholder wind to drive the box office of "life and death", so most of today's reporters should be called by Twentieth Century Fox, but things are definitely not that simple, Joseph thought for a while, "What else?"

The driver chuckled, "Yes, the other two movies in the same schedule, including the movies released later, have also started to promote, and the publicity offensive has been fierce recently, and it seems that it is a decision not to let 'Life and Death Speed' have a chance." After listening to the driver's brief description, Joseph couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Things must start from mid-March, when major film companies began to arrange the release schedule of this year's summer films.

Generally speaking, the movie schedule is determined three months before the release, and it is possible to set the schedule even a year in advance, because the entire publicity plan will revolve around the release schedule. The number of films in the 90s is far less than that in the 21st century, so the shooting cycle is relatively short, "it will be completed in January and will land in Cannes in May; The "speed of life and death" will be completed in March and set for June, which is almost impossible to see in the 21st century. But in the nineties, it was quite normal.

The arrangement of the schedule is very elaborate and knowledgeable, and it is not only a company's business, but also involves the scheduling of other competitor companies and competing works, as well as the scheduling of major theaters, so the scheduling in advance is partly due to the fact that it can be adjusted in time.

The matter originated with Paramount Pictures, when major film companies began to arrange the schedule of this year's summer file, Paramount released several works this summer, including three key releases, namely "Beverly Hills Police Detective 3" (beverly) released at the end of May. hills。 cop。 iii)", "Burning Pursuit" (clear. and。 present。 danger)", and "Forrest Gump", which was released in early August.

But after the schedule was set, I found that "Burning Pursuit" and Twentieth Century Fox's "True Lies" actually collided with the schedule, and the two works were released only a week apart.

So Paramount Pictures consulted with Twentieth Century Fox, and finally decided to postpone the release of "True Lies" by a week and release it on the third weekend of July, "Forrest Gump" and "Burning Pursuit" were reversed, "Forrest Gump" was released in the last week of June, and "Burning Pursuit" was switched to the second week of August.

No, in this way, "Forrest Gump" collided with Disney's annual masterpiece "The Lion King", and after negotiations between the two companies, "The Lion King" decided to release it one week earlier, while "Forrest Gump" was postponed by two weeks. This action immediately caused a major earthquake, and the "Lion King", which cost as much as 79 million US dollars, was definitely an opponent that no one in the summer file wanted to meet, so the June and May schedules, which were originally safe and sound, became tense, and finally the "speed of life and death" that everyone did not pay attention to became the target of oppression.

As a result, "Life and Death" not only needs to face the situation that there are strong competitors in the previous week and the week after, but also has to face the situation that there are strong competitors in the same week, which can definitely be called survival in the cracks.

Mike Nichols directed, Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer's "Wolf" mentioned a schedule with "Life and Death" and went head-to-head, which was sparked heated media hype, and it was widely believed that this would be the second head-to-head showdown between Hugo and Mike Nichols after the Oscars.

And "Wolf" was distributed by Columbia Pictures, as we all know, Columbia Pictures and Hugo have cooperated very successfully several times before, and now Mike and Jack have teamed up with Columbia Pictures to stand on the opposite side of Hugo, and the result is obviously full of suspense.

Twentieth Century Fox, which has always lacked confidence, after hesitating again and again, decided to avoid the ambitious masterpiece "Wolf" with an investment of 70 million yuan and advance the schedule of "Speed of Life and Death", so that the competitor of "Speed of Life and Death" became Universal Pictures' comedy "The Hillbilly Conquest of New York. cowboy。 way)”。

"Hillbilly Conquest of New York" was written by Woody Harrelson. Harreison) and Kiefer Sutherland, and it is also the first shot of Universal Pictures' summer season after Ron Meyer took office.

As a result, the duel became a competition between Hugo and Kiefer, and the two became rivals in reality after the-for-tat confrontation in the movie "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea"; And then the two or three things that Hugo and Lang have to say also extend to the movie competition.

In the end, the important thing is that the media generally interpreted this incident as: Hugo avoided the second contest with Mike and chose a more bullying opponent - Lang, and under this rendering, naturally all the news broke out.

In fact, this qiē is just a balance and game between major companies, in the competition of summer files, they all hope to defeat their opponents, but they don't want to kill the enemy with internal friction and lose 800 - after all, in the final analysis, making money is everyone's wish, so the change of schedule is completely understandable.

Originally, there was nothing unusual, but the result was hyped by the media, especially the recent second publicity period, Hugo won the Cannes actor at this juncture, and the momentum reached a higher level, and the prospect of "life and death" became more and more confusing: is it a fiasco or a counterattack?

Under such circumstances, several other competing films have kicked off the second round of publicity, and the smell of gunpowder has already hit the face, and the reporters at the airport have a rare pomp.

Although the driver only briefly said that the recent movies have begun to promote, Joseph understood the ins and outs at once, and he also knew that "life and death speed" is a typical example of whales fighting and shrimp suffering, and Hugo, as the leading actor, is a person standing under the spotlight, so he naturally became a victim of the major companies behind the scenes.

But the problem is that recently Hugo was preparing for a tour, then went to Cannes, and then toured, and there was no time to cooperate with the promotion. Thinking of this, Joseph smiled helplessly, and it was estimated that Rick also had a headache. (To be continued (Dian Dian Chinese Paper) provides.)
