Chapter 1296 1296 Far-reaching influence
No one is expecting a smooth debut today, including Nicholas and James, as can be seen from their misunderstandings and caution.
The reporters have suffered so many losses in front of Hugo that it is difficult to erase their deep memories. Since the Golden Globes incident that year, reporters have rarely gained the upper hand in front of Hugo, let alone the strong negative impacts brought by the Witch Trial and the recent Hugo incident. Many reporters even felt afraid of Hugo and they could not look directly into Hugo's eyes.
Just when everyone thought this premiere would be a disaster, reality taught the uncrowned kings a lesson: they never really saw the man named Hugo Lancaster in front of them.
Hugo's answer made it difficult for reporters to continue to make it difficult for reporters to continue to make a fuss about the topic of "Hugo and Brad", but this also made the reporters more and more excited. Obviously, the differences between the two actors when answering questions on the red carpet also mark the showdown between the "Seven Deadly Sins" of the two people is worth looking forward to.
"Hugo, can you tell us about your role in the "Seven Deadly Sins" and the story summary?" This was originally a simple question, because Hugo missed the press conference at the opening ceremony, so everyone currently has no idea about Hugo's role and weight in the movie. This also triggered the subsequent ban on the alliance.
But what is ridiculous is that the banning alliance has not even had time to take action, and it has been declared collapse. Regardless of whether the members of the banning alliance arrived at the premiere of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the noise of more than 200 journalists at the scene means that the banning alliance wants to completely block Hugo's news, which is absolutely impossible. Whether it is the "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Death Prison Walk".
The ban on the alliance became a laughing stock and disappeared in the press.
Originally, the reporter thought that Hugo would definitely be willing to answer at the premiere today. This was a completely simple question, but Hugo didn't expect that Hugo joked with a smile, "Does this question at the premiere mean that you don't want to buy tickets to enter the cinema? This really disappointed me."
Hugo's words made the reporters chuckled, "The movie is about to be released. I still hope you can go into the movie to experience it yourself. I won't destroy this enjoyment in advance." Hugo's unforgettable answer made the reporters take it for granted, but after watching the movie, they suddenly realized: Hugo digs a hole and lets them jump!
The premiere ended in this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Audiences who were honored to buy tickets for the premiere movie began to enter one after another, while other young volcanoes were still unwilling to leave and were waiting at the entrance of the Chinese Theater, preparing to wait for midnight to enter the cinema to watch the "Seven Deadly Sins".
Although Hugo entered the China Theater, not long after, Joseph and Samora appeared with a group of staff and distributed hot coffee and donuts to the young volcanoes waiting for. In the evening of September, it was already a little chilly, but the hearts of the young volcanoes were steaming hot because of the hot cup of coffee.
"Thank you for your hard work." David Finch came up from afar and gave Hugo a big hug. Although David didn't say much, everything was included in one sentence. David knew what Hugo had just experienced, and now he had to face such a large-scale media. This was indeed a difficult situation for Hugo. What's more, Hugo's outstanding performance at the premiere just now made the atmosphere liven up, which is good for the subsequent publicity of the "Seven Deadly Sins".
Hugo patted David on the back with a smile, "Don't worry, I've also paid the box office dividends, this is my responsibility." At the beginning, the dispute between "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Mission Impossible", in the end, "Mission Impossible" chose Tom Cruise, while Hugo joined the "Seven Deadly Sins", but the pay has been very hot and has never been announced.
In fact, Hugo's supporting role as an Anonymous, who played the "Seven Deadly Sins", not only received a salary of 10 million US dollars, but more than twice the 4 million yuan of the male lead Brad, but Hugo also received a box office dividend of 5% of the box office. Although it is not as good as the "speed of life and death" and the dividend ratio during the "Pulp Novel", Hugo can still get a box office dividend in the case of supporting roles, which shows that the New Line Film Company attaches importance to Hugo.
"This is what you deserve, isn't it?" David also patted Hugo's shoulder and said with a smile.
Although the recent hot incident was a harm to Hugo itself, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of these concerns that "Death Prisoner Walking" has become a super hot one and is popular before it is released; and the "Seven Deadly Sins" released in September also took advantage of this east wind, and the Xinyi Film Company organized such a grand premiere today without any effort.
It is conceivable that in the cold September, no one can become the opponent of the "Seven Deadly Sins", which also provides an excellent premise for the movie to create box office results. All of this is Hugo's credit, which is an additional effect that Brad and Morgan cannot bring.
David also knew that Hugo's Anonymous plays will inevitably become the biggest highlight of the "Seven Deadly Sins" from the perspective of supplementary to the movie or from the perspective of shocking the audience. Therefore, David said this.
This is true. After the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo's powerful appeal took effect that night.
The presence of more than 200 journalists made September reappear in the summer season. Since then, more than 130 media have focused their attention on the "Seven Deadly Sins", making this thrilling and suspense film easily the most popular work in September. Not to mention the craze created by the young volcano at the premiere, this almost made the "Seven Deadly Sins" reappear in the grand occasion of the "Seven Deadly Sins". So does it mean that the "Seven Deadly Sins" can also create a box office myth like the "Seven Deadly Sins"?
During the off-season period, since there are not many movies to choose from, once a big crocodile appears, it can attract the attention of all audiences, and it is even possible that a movie occupies more than 80% of the box office during the off-season period. Now, the "Seven Deadly Sins" obviously have such ability.
New Line Film Company seems to be a schedule choice for suicide, but under the fermentation of Hugo's "x factor", it has become the wisest choice. This is the star effect. A person's role not only represents box office appeal, but also represents strong influence. It can often reduce the cost of film companies by more than 20%. This is an important reason why superstar pay remains high.
Businessmen are pursuing profits, and their abacus is better than anyone else. Obviously, Hugo is the most cost-effective top superstar in Hollywood at present, and no one can match this. The premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins" proves this again.
What's even more interesting is that at the premiere, Nicholas casually mentioned Hugo's clothing issue. Although Hugo just took this topic lightly at the time, this topic obviously aroused the interest of many people, and the media's tentacles and the strength of fans are incomparable.
After the premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins", people quickly found out the source of Hugo's clothes. The knitted cardigans and shirts were both from Burberry, which were originally released last fall, while the jeans were from Gucci's style this spring, and the old shoes were from Vance, which Hugo had worn several times privately.
Note that nothing is new!
But! Almost overnight, the ivory white collarless shirt led a new craze, which symbolized typical ban. Desire design easily became the latest trend, even surpassing the New York Fashion Week in October, and had an immeasurable follow-up impact on major fashion brands. At the spring and summer fashion week of the following year, major brands successively launched a series of classical bans represented by collarless shirts. Desire design became the new fashion trend for the coming year.
What is even more incredible is that Hugo's royal blue wool knitted cardigan became the hottest fashion item in the next four months. Last fall, when Burberry released this sweater, no one was interested. Many people thought that this cardigan looked too old and too rigid, and it looked very boring without any design, which was in line with Burberry's usual conservative and classic posture. However, after Hugo matching, people suddenly discovered that different styles can be clearly reflected through different combinations. More importantly, the royal blue nobility and the retro cardigan have become versatile styles among fashion items.
Most of the old models from Burberry last fall have been removed from the shelves, but after the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins", all the old models in the United States have been sold out in less than a month, and some people even made a special trip to Burberry's London store to find such a royal blue knitted cardigan. It is said that in the Upper East Side of New York, such a cardigan with an original price of 699 US dollars has been hyped up to 3,600 US dollars, and it is still in short supply.
Burberry's sales surged in September and October. Since Hugo wears old models and most of the old models have been removed from the shelves, people will inevitably notice the new models born after Boburley invited the chief designer to a new model, so it quickly became a free advertising. Since then, it has had a long-term impact that is difficult to calculate.
Even Gucci and Vance quickly attracted countless attention, and the latter entered the fashion industry for the first time from a simple California-area skateboarding sports brand.
This was Thomas Weland's biggest plan at the time. Obviously, Burberry was at the forefront of the times.
In a small premiere, Hugo relied on his own power to have an infinite impact, and even the new film companies, DreamWorks, and Endeavour Elite Brokerage companies are making profits. Such a profound impact can be called the number one person in Hollywood today.
