484 Hands of Hype
“With a "ding" sound, Chris couldn't even wait for the elevator door to open automatically. He grabbed the edge of the door with both hands and pulled it out hard. When a passage opened in the middle for a person to pass through, he couldn't wait to step out sideways, his steps moving. The wind and the land were rushing wildly, and their angry appearance was like an out-of-control train, causing everyone to retreat..
The quiet office suddenly became a mess, and countless eyes were bustling over. As soon as Chris's back disappeared, the gossips and discussions began to echo..
“Chris, Chris, Fisher is in a meeting..." Secretary Jasmine-Francis's voice to stop her was like a weak and helpless reed pole, which was pushed down without much resistance, without waiting for the following words. After finishing speaking, Chris directly pushed open the office door, and there was a muffled "bang" that echoed softly in the corridor..
Jasmine tried her best. She grabbed Chris with both hands, but she was still dragged away, so that her high heels were crooked and her bun was a little messy. She looked really embarrassed, but she couldn't care about herself. Turning to look at Fisher Morgan behind the desk, "Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry..”
Fisher held the phone receiver in his hand and was talking, but was interrupted by such an accident. He temporarily took the receiver away, raised his eyelids, glared sharply, and slapped the table hard. , "Just give me some peace! Otherwise I will make your life worse than death."！”
That ferocious and brutal look showed no reservations, like a giant hammer that came down heavily and hit Chris on the chest hard. Chris, who was angry and menacing one second, suddenly became angry the next second. He lost all his arrogance, shrunk his hands and feet, and stood obediently, like a little kitten..
Fisher glanced at Jasmine, motioning for her to go out, and then glared at Chris. A layer of cold sweat immediately climbed up Chris's back, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have gained courage again, so he straightened up again. I lifted my waist and sat down on the sofa next to me..
Ignoring Chris, Fisher picked up the phone again, changed his face in the blink of an eye, and started talking with a smile, "Sorry, a kitten just broke in and made the whole office jump.……”
The conversation didn't last long, only about two minutes. Then Fisher hung up the phone, his smile disappeared again, and he said with stern eyes, "I told you! Don't be impulsive! That will make you look like Like a brainless idiot! No one wants to see a big-breasted Thor with no brains!.”
Instead of investigating the incident just now, he settled on Chris's attitude. Chris could only listen obediently, not daring to express his anger. It wasn't until Fisher asked that he straightened up his chest again, "I was raped by two paparazzi." They're under siege." Recalling the frustration he felt just now, his anger rekindled and he gained a little more confidence..
“It must be Renly! Besides him, who else could be trying to gain popularity with the malicious intention of hype! Deliberately leaking news, discrediting me, and then creating hot spots, so that he can stand on the moral high ground. Not long ago, he was excused for borrowing the crew. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is absolutely false; this time, reporters must be allowed to know his true face！”
Seeing Chris gnashing his teeth and filled with righteous indignation, his face full of resentment, he was still immersed in his own emotions and couldn't get rid of it..
“So, what exactly did the paparazzi ask? "Fischer's reaction was unexpected. He did not complain or comfort him, but focused on the paparazzi's problem. This made Chris stunned. His emotions stopped in mid-air for a moment, neither up nor down. Fisher I had to repeat my question again.
Only then did Chris come back to his senses and retell the story in a confused way, but his words were incoherent and confused. Fisher was very patient and asked about the details over and over again. After confirming the whole ins and outs, he fell silent. Sitting in the boss chair behind the desk, lost in thought.
This abnormal behavior made Chris confused. He asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? This is obviously Renly's trap. It's for publicity and to discredit me." Chris couldn't help but straighten up a little. Chest, emphasizing his firmness and confidence, "He didn't want the script at the beginning, and I was just using it as waste. It was me who really passed the audition. I relied on my absolute strength and even defeated Liam, didn't I?？”
Liam Hemsworth, Chris' younger brother, also entered the final round of auditions for "Thor". In fact, Kenneth's favorite was Liam, and he was extremely close to signing the contract. ; But at the last moment, Chris came out and snatched the role from his brother, becoming the first Thor.
Fisher raised his eyes, glanced at Chris, and said lightly, "It's me.”
Chris was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. His brain's reaction speed couldn't keep up with Fisher's rhythm: What did he say?？
“I was the one who spread the rumor, and I also lured the paparazzi there through indirect means." Fisher's simple words could not be clearer. He ignored Chris's mournful expression and continued, "You performed well. Although it's a little stiff and jerky, I guess those paparazzi have sensed something is wrong, but it doesn't matter, I'm still expecting it……”
“Why? "Fischer's words were interrupted by Chris, who was so excited that he stood up, "Why? I don't want anything to do with that guy! He is now a small actor in independent films. Apart from those lovers of literary films, who knows him? Who would want to know him? No one, absolutely no one！
The more Chris thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He began to walk back and forth in the office, mumbling, "But, I am Thor, I am the new Thor! Now after this time, everyone will know each other If he does, I will become a stepping stone for his popularity. You don’t know what a cunning guy he is. He will definitely take this opportunity to step on my shoulders to attract more attention. Why? do this？”
Faced with Chris's crying questions, Fisher remained calm and waited until Chris stopped before saying, "Because you need this kind of hype.".”
A concise and clear sentence, but Chris was nailed to the spot, with a face full of disbelief and disbelief..
“In the "Thor" crew, there is Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. Almost all the media focus is on them. When Paramount is promoting, all the focus is on them. On the body." One is an old and strong Oscar winner, and the other is a hot new Oscar winner. It can be said that they are in the right place at the right time. An old fox like Paramount Pictures naturally caught it accurately. Popular psychology, intense propaganda.
“You are the protagonist, you are Thor, you are the core of the whole movie." Fisher then explained, "We need the public to focus on you. Paramount is definitely not willing to cooperate, so why don't we How about a push? "He is Chris's agent, and his priorities are naturally different from Paramount's. Paramount focuses on the success of "Thor", while he is more focused on Chris' money career..
“Renly is a clown, but you can't deny that he has been the most popular topic in the past few months. What's more, 'Fast and Furious 5' is about to be released. Just in time, through the media hype, you and Renly The showdown between Chris and Eli, of course, couldn't be more interesting." Fisher concluded, saying that he needs everyone's attention to be focused on Chris. To put it simply, it is a personal grudge, not a showdown between two movies..
Chris opened his mouth, but found that his brain had become a ball of mush, and he stammered, "You mean, you mean... I need to take advantage of his popularity.？”
“Yes." Fisher didn't take into account Chris's plan at all, and answered simply and without hesitation..
In an instant, Chris felt as if his energy had been drained away. He became dejected, his straight shoulders drooped, and his whole person became listless..
Fisher was not surprised, and then continued, "But believe me, the final winner will be you. Even if you don't have confidence in me, don't you have confidence in 'Thor'? This will be a North American 300 million-dollar work." , I’m pretty sure, as for the world, I’m already looking forward to 800 million, what do you think?？”
Sure enough, Fisher knew Chris well. With just two words, Chris regained his confidence and his spine straightened up again..
Indeed, the success of "Thor" is destined, especially after the internal test screenings, the response was very good. They all have huge expectations for the box office of this work. 300 million in North America and 800 million worldwide. If this can be achieved The goal is the second "Iron Man", or the second "Pirates of the Caribbean". It is not difficult to become famous in one fell swoop. He even needs to worry about whether he is too popular..
By then, let alone Renly, even Robert Downey Jr. will be no exception. After all, he is a fresh face, he is fresh meat, and people always like new things, right?？
Fisher could see that Chris's face regained its vitality little by little. He slightly curled his lips and said confidently, "Now, I need you to focus. Renly will definitely fight back, and so will the media. I know how to hype. Don’t worry, everything is under my control..”
“You need to take a stand and say this is 'men versus men', do you understand? No matter how the paparazzi asks, you insist that this is a contest between men and men, head-to-head, fist-to-fist." Fisher continued to explain, "Also, the most important thing is that you and Renly are friends. ." Noticing Chris's defiant look, Fisher cut the knot quickly without giving any chance, "This is the conclusion, you and Renly are friends. In front of the media, you must insist on this. This is between friends. man vs. man！”
Chris hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded, with heroic determination and determination on his face..
Just as Fisher expected, the paparazzi were as excited as a hyena after smelling a treasure, and began to look for Renly. But Elliot couldn't laugh anymore: it's Renly again？
