"Tom Cruise met with Shirley Lansing late at night. lansing), fight for the character! ”

This is a shocking revelation from the New York Post, Shirley Lansing is the new head of Paramount, since 1984, when the Big Three of Paramount left - CEO Barry Diller. Diller went to News Corp. to set up Fox TV, his assistants Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg went to Disney, and Paramount, which had been at the top of the decade at its peak, hit rock bottom again, and after Shirley's new appointment last year, she overhauled Paramount. The reboot of the "007" series is an important move, and the launch of "Forrest Gump" is worth remembering, while "Mission Impossible" is another action.

Shirley's late-night meeting with Tom obviously has special significance, and after the news broke, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone thought that Tom was infinitely close to "Mission Impossible".

But then, "America Weekly" broke the news, "Hugo Lancaster and Brian de Palma (brain. de。 Palma), Steven Zelian talks for three hours! In-depth discussion of the details of the script and the shooting plan! ”

Brian De is one of Hollywood's most controversial directors, known as "Hitchcock in contemporary America", his works include "Carrie the Witch", "Scarface", "The Dawn of the Lover" and many other masterpieces, this time Paramount invited him to be the director of "Mission Impossible", which is also Brian De's first directorial work in three years, which can be described as ambitious.

From the screenwriter to the director, to the actors, it can be seen that Paramount has high hopes for this work.

Hugo had a long conversation with Brian de and Steven, which also meant that he was proactive in the script, not to mention the friendship between Steven and Hugo. After "Before Sunrise", everyone knew that Hugo had his own unique opinion on the script, so there was a lot to be said in this meeting.

At this time, people think that "Mission Impossible" seems to be more interested in Hugo.

Within a few days, the San Francisco Chronicle had another surprise that "Brian De Palma and Robert Downey thought Tom Cruise was a better fit for the script and supported Cruise in 'Mission Impossible.'" ”

The support of the director and another lead screenwriter skyrocketed Tom's approval rating, but before this news sparked more discussions, the "Orange County Chronicle" blew up the hottest news since the beginning of 1995, "Paramount offered a salary of 20 million US dollars to invite Lancaster to play Ethan Hunter!" ”

After this news came out, it became the peak of hot topics almost instantly, and the "Orange County Chronicle" also said conclusively in the news: The contract has appeared in Hugo's hands, and Hugo only needs to sign it, and the dust will settle as soon as it is qiē!

If the Orange County Chronicle is true, then this is definitely the biggest news of the year, not only does it mean that Hugo defeated Tom to win the role - this is just additional news, but also means that the first 20 million salary in Hollywood history is about to be born, which will completely change the balance between Hollywood agencies and film companies that has been maintained for nearly a decade.

At this time, people have forgotten that a few weeks ago they were "worried" about Hugo's career prospects, believing that Hugo's career had become tired as the New York Post said; But the brokerage industry circles will not forget Jì, and less than a month ago, they were still putting pressure on Endeavor elite brokerage firms, believing that Hugo is now not taking over works in accordance with industry rules, which is a huge disruption to the brokerage industry.

But now, Hugo is likely to become the first recipient of 20 million in history!

Even the use of earth-shattering and earth-shaking is not enough to describe the social reaction after the news of the "Orange County Chronicle", which is far more exaggerated than last year, last year's "Future Water World" and "007" series of reboots about Hugo's $20 million salary is completely thunder and rain, and Hugo was filming "Before Sunrise" in Europe at the time, and he was not directly involved in the turmoil at all.

But now it's different, Hugo's whereabouts have indeed been captured, and the competition between Hugo and Tom is also real, which makes the authenticity of the 20 million salary skyrocket - in fact, this is indeed true, although the so-called "contract" is false, but Paramount did say this when approaching Rick that they are willing to pay Hugo 20 million, but there is no box office dividend.

Overnight, this became the hottest topic, with 21 media outlets in California alone reporting on the "20 million pay", and more than 50 media outlets in the United States reporting it for the first time -- and many local small media outlets were not included in the statistics!

Hugo was almost overwhelmed by media reporters, and every reporter wanted to interview Hugo as soon as possible, ask him about his current feelings, ask him if he really wanted to sign, and ask him if he was sure to attend "Mission Impossible".

Similarly, Tom was also annoyed on the other hand, and reporters came over one after another, asking Tom "how he felt about being crushed by Hugo", or directly asked "Hugo really got 20 million yuan in salary, what do you think", I hope Tom and Hugo will directly scold.

It's not just Hugo and Tom, Rick's office phone has been blown up, and Endeavour Elite Agency has been blocked by more than thirty reporters! In addition, Joseph and his teammates who are glorious to death are also surrounded by groups, and even Alex and Carl, who work in "Happy Family", are surrounded by reporters, hoping to interview them about Hugo's current state.

The most ridiculous thing is that the seemingly irrelevant Green Hill was also chased by reporters, which startled him.

This situation made Hugo feel like a Tang monk, and everyone wanted to gnaw a piece of meat off him. It's a really bad feeling, one might even say bad. It was originally a good thing, but now it is annoying because of excessive hype, Hugo didn't like hype in the first place, and the reason why he has not stood up to refute it is because most of the media reports are true, just many differences in details; On the one hand, it is because he really wants to star in "Mission Impossible", and any remarks he makes before the matter is agreed are just to add fuel to the fire. But now......

Now Hugo doesn't really want to act, because he thinks it's a disaster, and it will be an even more terrible disaster after acting. Hugo once again truly experienced Leonardo's mood after the "Titanic", and wanted to run away when he saw a little media uproar.

The battle for the male protagonist of "Mission Impossible" reached its peak at this time, but so far the situation is still under control, although the media reports are somewhat exaggerated, but on the whole it is still based on facts. However, when the topic of 20 million yuan reached a boiling point, the media coverage began to get out of control.

No one remembers who exactly was the first media to start getting out of control, but the figure of the "National Enquirer" is definitely not to be ignored, and Anthony Bond Stewart, who has not been seen for a long time, is out again, and it is a blockbuster, "Lancaster thinks that Cruise is gay and not worthy of being a hero at all!" ”

In fact, Hollywood rumors about Tom's homosexuality have never really subsided, whether it was when he married Nicole Kidman or later when he married Katie Holmes and had children. So, there is nothing new in this news from the "National Enquirer", but the point is: Hugo attacks Tom!

Moreover, the report also vividly describes Hugo's direct mockery of Tom's height on "A Certain Pie Duì", believing that Tom's manhood is not enough to control his partner. The subtext is that Tom should be pressed underneath.

These words have gone beyond the normal and have evolved into personal attacks. Although the report of the National Enquirer seems absurd, there is no truth at all: there is no time, no place, no evidence, and what they call "rumors"; But this is Hollywood, the Hollywood of entertainment to death, even if there is no credible news, it will be infinitely magnified at a given moment.

It's like the entertainment industry often rumors that an artist has died, just because he hasn't shown up for a long time, and even rumors have a nose and eyes, and the more troublesome it gets. In the end, the person had to show up directly and say that he was still alive. This kind of ridiculous and ridiculous unfounded news is often bought by many people in the entertainment industry.

In fact, anyone who knows Hugo will know that Hugo's personality is unlikely to say such vicious things, not to mention that Hugo and Tom have always gotten along very well, even on the New Year's Eve party duì in the "Sugar Coated Trap" audition. Ridicule? It's possible; Taunt? It is also possible; But the attack? No way.

However, after the remarks of the "National Inquirer" appeared, they immediately fermented. This time, Mr. Bond chose the right time.

When the Houston Chronicle became the first national newspaper to report on this time, things finally got out of hand. It's just that the content of the "Houston Chronicle" report is not Hugo attacking Tom, but Tom fighting back against Hugo, "Cruise satirizes Lancaster for selling his ass to get to power!" They dug up the rumors about Hugo and Tracy Jacobs again, saying that Tom did everything he could to taunt Hugo at a private party, and even scratched his head to learn Hugo's ass twisting in "Sleepless in Seattle".

Of course, before reporting on Tom's counterattack on Hugo, the Houston Chronicle also briefly reviewed a brief summary of Hugo's attack on Tom. This means that the "whole picture" of the whole thing is presented to the people of the North American continent. The authority of the national newspaper was naturally extraordinary, and the matter spread like an iceberg hitting a volcano.
