The reporters stood under the stage, looking at Hugo on the stage, wondering how Hugo will deal with the situation on the spot next. Today is quite special. The crew of "L.A. Confidential" needs to rely on the power of reporters to carry out pre-propaganda. As a producer, Hugo cannot ignore reporters or confront them head-on. In other words, today It is the uncrowned kings who hold the initiative. So, now there is nearly half an hour before the press conference officially begins. How will Hugo respond to the restlessness of the reporters on the spot?

Hugo walked to the side stage to think for a while, and then left the stage, standing next to him and discussing with Curtis, David and others in a low voice. The reporters started booing again in an instant-the uncrowned kings have suffered too many times in the hands of Hugo, and they finally seized an opportunity to play a prank. How could they be willing to give up?

Some reporters even started to hit with an inflatable stick, making the scene sound like the Staples Field during the Lakers' home game. This also caused the onlookers outside the street to start screaming and shouting, almost half of them. The city has entered the carnival rhythm.

But in just a while, Hugo stepped onto the stage again, but this time he did not go to appease the reporters at the scene, but greeted Kevin Spacey, Charlize Theron and others on the stage. Now it's the reporters' turn to be confused: Should the press conference start early? This shouldn't be, because there are still many invited media who have not arrived at the scene-after all, it is still early to the real opening time.

Hugo bowed his head and exchanged a few words with Kevin and Charlize, and then saw a group of people step onto the stage one after another. The reporters below the stage showed different postures in a blink of an eye. Some of them were still making noise, some were whispering to discuss the situation, and some of them simply picked up the camera and took side shots. This controlled the scene to a certain extent. Situation.

As more and more people walked onto the stage, the chaos turned into the stage, even more lively than the offstage. At the same time, some staff began to move benches and chairs onto the stage and get busy on the stage.

Gradually, the reporters came to realize that this was a posture of taking a group photo, as if...like a college graduation photo.

In Hollywood, the crew of course still take group photos, but more often they choose to take a commemorative group photo with all the staff and the background and props of the set when the crew is finalized; it is very rare at the opening ceremony. , Because the opening ceremony is more responsible for the propaganda function. Those who can attend the opening press conference are the protagonists of the crew, as well as big-name actors, directors, screenwriters, etc. As for the group photos, no one cares at all—just take the protagonist’s A photo is enough.

"Russell, come here, come here." Hugo shouted to Russell who was standing in the corner. Russell couldn't help but hesitate, looking at Hugo, Kevin, Charlize and others, at a loss, and then Hugo just Seeing Heath next to him, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he looked back at the roughly lined up formation, "Heath, come here too, hurry, hurry."

Russell and Heath ran over quickly. Hugo gave a brief introduction to Kevin and Charlize, but apparently they had already met briefly, "Russell, you are one of the main characters and need to stand. Go to the middle. Heath, stand in the middle of the second row, stand next to James Cromwell and David Strezern, and distract a little." James Cromwell Er plays the last villain in the movie.

Heath looked at the senior seniors who had already stood in the queue, and was stunned. The second row was almost the backbone of Hollywood. Perhaps they rarely acted as the protagonists of the movie, but all of them are golden supporting roles. It often appears much more often than the protagonist.

James Cromwell showed a gentle smile when he heard Hugo's words, and beckoned to Heath, "Young man, come here." As he said, he motioned for David beside him to move. Click to get out of position. Heath hesitated for a moment, and then ran over in small steps, feeling very happy.

Russell stood there alone, but he was a little restrained. He looked around and didn't know where he should stand. Hugo walked to the back chair in the first row and pointed to the middle position, "Charlize, sit down, it's up to you to get the page today." One sentence made everyone laugh, "Russell, you sit down to Charlie." On the right side of Ziz, Kevin goes another place.” While talking, Hugo sat down on Charlize’s left, and then let Curtis sit down on his left.

Russell looked at the seating arrangements and looked back at Kevin very uncomfortably. He seemed to think that Kevin should be sitting on Charlize’s right hand, but Kevin didn’t care and just sat in the chair one seat apart from Charlize. When he got down, Brian Helgrand was on his right, "Russell, come and sit down." Kevin also greeted him actively.

At this time, Hugo stood up again with the microphone, "I don’t know if you understand the basic situation of our crew, but as you can see, this is a huge crew, with more than 90 core crew members. If you are interested, you can also look back. The other behind-the-scenes heroes who are currently busy on the crew, although I want them to stand together, but considering that after the press conference is over, we still have to work on filming, so , I can only wrong them a bit."

Hugo’s words made the busy staff whistles one after another, and the reporters couldn’t help but chuckled, “Now, the whole crew is here, and I hope everyone can leave a memorial for us, just as a cuckoo. Nest ('s. nest) is ready to take a group photo."

This simple sentence caused everyone to roar with laughter. Some reporters even whistled, and the atmosphere immediately became lively. "Cuckoo's Nest" actually alluded to the classic movie "Flying over the Cuckoo's Nest (literally translated as "Flying over the Cuckoo's Nest").

Hugo sat down again and straightened up. The reporters immediately pressed the shutter to record this special moment. This is not just an ingenious start-up ceremony, but can also be considered a special publicity ceremony-only a group photo of the "L.A. Confidential" crew is enough to become a topic, whether it is the academic teasing of the photo itself , Or the humorous view of "Cuckoo's Nest", or the discussion triggered by the characters in the photo.

In this photo, people can clearly see the strong cast, the strong combination of Hugo Lancaster, Kevin Spacey, Charlize Theron, plus the well-known insiders The optimistic Russell Crowe, the starring lineup is indeed huge, easily surpassing the "Seven Deadly Sins", "Stealing the Wire" and other works, becoming a model of star-studded and powerful cast in recent years; there are also James Cromwell, Danny -DeVito, David Strezern, Long Riverkin (.) and other strong blue-collar actors, the film has not yet started shooting, people are full of expectations for the performance of the film.

Among them, the acting showdown between Hugo and Kevin is obviously high-profile. Last year, Kevin relied on the wonderful performance in "The Very Suspect" to defeat Hugo's shocking performance in the "Seven Deadly Sins" and won the best male Oscar. The supporting role of the Golden Man, and later the crew broke the news that Hugo won the role of Anonymous in the "Seven Deadly Sins" by defeating Kevin at the last minute, which also made the collision between the two acting full of countless highlights.

The second collaboration between Hugo and Charlize is also full of expectations. "Before sunrise" allowed people to see Hugo's screenwriting talents, and also let people know Charlize's beauty and acting skills, and this work made Charlize Nominated for the best actress Oscar for the first time, and even wrote a good story. What kind of sparks will the two people collide with this time, and what kind of storybook will the handsome and beautiful men and women's partners interpret? The reporters have already started gearing up.

After the group photo was taken, the staff moved the chairs off the stage, and then began to arrange the long table for the press conference. After all this was prepared, there was only less than five minutes left before the official start of the press conference. Up. At this time, the reporters suddenly realized that Hugo used a small trick to divert the reporter's attention; it was also a small gimmick, adding some topics to today's opening ceremony. Sure enough.

But the reporters did not have time to be annoyed, because the press conference was officially opened soon.

Almost all topics are directed towards Hugo, Kevin, and Charlize This is completely expected, especially "L.A. Confidential" as a new shoot of Hugo after "Independence Day". The works carry a lot of hope. In this regard, Hugo can only say, “Every work is a new beginning. I hope that the work can bear great expectations and doubts like the "Seven Deadly Sins", and finally use it. Works to prove myself. Of course, this is just my wish, at least I should redouble my efforts from today, otherwise the work will be destroyed, and I can’t blame the audience, right?"

Faced with Hugo’s ridicule, the reporters all chuckled, and then Hugo went on to say, “We have a group of very good actors in our work. I have already begun to look forward to the next work, but before I look forward to it, I will Worry about yourself first, because I haven’t performed for more than 18 months, so I think I’m the one who needs to worry the most.” This made everyone laugh, and even everyone sitting on the stage laughed. Voice, "I’m telling the truth. In addition to Kevin and Charlize, Russell is also one of the main characters. He will take on the responsibility of the main characters in the movie. Russell is also a very good actor. If you are interested If you do, you can go to the actors' union to investigate his information."

Between talking and laughing, Hugo quietly shifted the topic to Russell. As a result, Russell, who was drinking water, didn't expect it at all. When he didn't expect it, he choked himself and began to cough violently, making everyone around him laugh.
