It was not for nothing that Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times chose Hugo and Bullard as opponents in his report. [Starter]

is also involved with Tracy, and also participated in the auditions for "Big River Love" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", these can only be said to be subjective reasons, and more importantly, Hugo and Brad are as tall and handsome as they are, and they both have sunny and righteous temperaments in their temperaments, but Brad is more uninhibited, while Hugo is warmer. You must know that in the actor industry, the competition between similar types of actors is very cruel, and often there can only be one winner, Hugo and Brad will meet in the audition of the two works in a short period of time, which is ironclad evidence.

Therefore, when Nicholas listed these two men as opponents, many people expressed surprise - after all, they had not had any head-to-head 'confrontation' before, but they had to agree with the accident. So, when "Big River Love" and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Female'" were released one after another, people couldn't help but get excited.

"Big River Love", which was released last week, has achieved a good reputation, with a comprehensive media rating of 68 points, a theater score of "B", and the review table Xiàn is also very good. The views on Brad are all focused on his innocent smile, thinking that he has the style of director Robert and Redford when he was young, and the nickname of "Redford's successor" has spread far and wide, and at the same time, Brad's popularity has risen again, continuing the positive impact of the previous "Doomsday Maniac 'Flower'".

At this time, Brad is still a complete newcomer, whether it is in "The End of the Road Crazy 'Flower'" or "River Love", he is an absolute supporting role, and there are not many scenes, but in these two works, Brad's expression has won many praises, which makes people think of the situation when Hugo just debuted.

And the "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Female'" released this week has a comprehensive media evaluation of 72 points, and the theater score of "B+" can be said to be slightly ahead of the table of "Big River Love". In terms of the evaluation of Hugo, praise such as "playing against Al without falling behind............ "rejuvenating the brilliance of acting talent", and "dedicating 'fine' performances" occupy an absolute advantage, especially the negative impact of "Hudson's Eagle" has been diluted a lot in this "fine" color table, and people have remembered Hugo's good times in the "Death Poets Society" in 1989.

In the head-to-head confrontation between Brad and Hugo, it is clear that Hugo is getting more attention. Because Hugo's rival actor is Al, and Al contributed a palace-level performance in the movie, under such pressure, Hugo still does not fall behind, which makes Hugo's 'color' more and more 'colorful'.

"U.S. Weekly" joked with interest in the commentary written, "In the face of Brad's menacing challenge, although Hugo lost the audition for 'River Love', he used the 'fine' color watch of 'Smell the Fragrance' female 'person' to give a counterattack, which is indeed worth playing, I wonder if Brad will regret that he didn't get the audition for the 'Smell the Fragrance' female 'person'?"

When Brad saw this review of "America Weekly", the whole person became irritable, last week he was still complacent because of the praise of "Big River Love", but now Hugo gave him a bucket of cold water with such a "fine" color, which really made Brad hold his breath fiercely, and he didn't know where to vent.

First of all, the audition of "Yihai Xiongfeng" failed, and then the advantage of "Big River Love" was also "swayed" in front of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female'", recalling his triumphant after the audition of "Big River Love", Brad felt more and more hot on his cheeks

"Brad, don't you ......" agent Martin Baum has gone through countless winds and waves, he looks very calm, in fact, his heart is also constantly tumbling, but he doesn't want to show it. In Martin's view, although "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female' person" is very 'colorful', but the "big river love" is not bad, and Brad can't be regarded as a failure at all.

But the young and vigorous Brad couldn't listen to these advices, and directly interrupted Martin's words, "Don't want anything? Don't be angry? How can it be! Didn't you see the comments from those media? They always compare me to Hugo, and they almost don't directly say that I failed miserably, which is a shame! Shame!"

Martin opened his mouth, and the sentence in his throat "Didn't you take the initiative to compete with Hugo......" was swallowed, at this time it is definitely not a good thing to stab Brad again, as far as Martin knows, there seems to be a problem between Brad and Tracy and Jacobs recently, if he adds fuel to the fire now, I am afraid that things will get out of control.

So Martin's words to his lips became, "Think back to the comments made by the media about you, it was full of praise, no one said that your appearance was not good, no!" Have you forgotten the praise of the media? Now it's just that Hugo's watch is back warm, and you're starting to panic, get anxious, and worry, and your brain can't calm down?"

Martin's series of words made Brad's head dizzy, in fact, he didn't hear the content clearly at all, only knowing that Martin kept praising him before emphasizing the media, which made Brad calm down a little.

"However, the box office of his movies is also better than mine!" Brad was still not fully sober, and he suddenly thought of a little more, the box office of "Big River Love" last week was 25,000 US dollars, which was not as good as "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'"; And this week's single-hall box office of "Big River Love" was 19,000 US dollars, and it lost in the head-to-head "confrontation" with "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'". is also an art film, and it is sad enough that the word-of-mouth has fallen, but it will also be defeated at the box office, which really makes Brad mind very much.

"So what? It's only the first week, and it's no use getting angry. Martin looked at the broken coffee cup on his carpet, and couldn't help sighing, if it weren't for Brad's promising future, Brad just now broke the coffee cup when he heard the box office results of the single hall of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'", he should have been angry, but Martin still endured it.

Martin looked back at Brad, who was still indignant, "Not to mention that I don't know the next box office trend, even if the appearance of the 'smelling fragrance' female 'person' is more 'colorful' this time, but you still have countless opportunities in the future, don't you?" You're on the rise, and Hugo has only recovered once, and the future is still uncertain, so you'll still have a chance to compete with each other, and then you'll have to win it back. ”

This time Brad finally calmed down and listened quietly to Martin's words, and Martin said while the iron was hot, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"Who said that!" Brad immediately blew up 'Mao', blushing and 'excited' and said, "Next time, next time I will definitely win!"

Thinking that after Tracy came out with the first batch of comments on "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'", she jokingly joked with director Robert, "If Hugo starred, what would the effect be?" Although it was just a joke, Robert also replied with a smile, "More handsome than me?" Not very serious at all, but even so, Brad took it to heart.

Thinking of this, Brad gritted his teeth fiercely and clenched his fists, "Definitely!"

However, Brad's wish was destined to be disappointed this time, because in the head-to-head duel between "Big River Love" and "Smell the Fragrance of the 'Woman'", the latter took the lead with an absolute advantage.

In the fourth week of October, "Big River Love" took the lead in expanding the scale of screenings, and 130 theaters took home $1.58 million at the weekend box office, ranking ninth in the top 10 of the weekend box office charts. And the "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" who still insists on continuing to screen in 20 theaters is driven by the word-of-mouth of "color", and the box office of a single theater does not fall but rises, and the number of single theaters of 30,000 US dollars makes the weekend box office of the film reach 600,000, ranking 14th among the 17 films on the list.

Even so, the box office of the single hall of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Female'" still surprised everyone.

In the fifth week of October, "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" also launched a full-scale expansion with the trend of "color" word-of-mouth, and was released on a large scale in 1,100 theaters across the United States. And the cousin of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Female'" also repaid the trust of Universal Pictures, winning $7 million at the box office in three days over the weekend, and in everyone's surprised eyes, he actually won the top spot in the North American weekend box office chart this week, which really made countless people fall through the glasses. Even the most daring box office forecasters did not anticipate the current situation!

This also makes this week's North American box office charts present a strange situation. Three-time champion of "Hidden Dragon Boom (under. Siege)" was pulled off the horse and occupied the runner-up position with a figure of six million and 1 million dollars; And "Big River Love", which continued to expand in 800 theaters, won $4.2 million at the weekend box office and rose to the third place.

No one expected such a list, not to mention the fact that the art film "River Love" jumped to third place, and there was no shortage of people like "Dyman" and "The Last Mohican." last。 of。 the。 mohis)" such a work with box office power; It is definitely a surprise to say that such a work as "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" that does not have any box office competitiveness has achieved unexpected results, defeating a series of strong works on the list, especially the "Hidden Dragon", which has reached $50 million in cumulative box office after three consecutive championships, was replaced, and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" won the weekend box office championship, which is definitely a surprise.

At this time, the three-week release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" has won a total of 9 million US dollars at the box office, the book cost has been recovered, and it seems that it is not a problem to achieve profitability, coupled with the reputation of "color" has won a good position for the film in the upcoming major award ceremonies. It can be said that this investment by Universal Pictures could not be more sensible.

Not to mention the media outcry before the release of the movie, even if Universal Pictures was quite critical of director Martin Brest for choosing Hugo, they couldn't put enough trust in the Golden Raspberry Award winner. But now? This seems to be an excellent choice.

In the exclamation of the media, the magical journey of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" is obviously not over.
