"Without a doubt, Hugo Lancaster was the most watched man in all of Los Angeles on March 18th. Not only did he appear at the premiere of 'the last analysis' in a youthful, elegant, and handsome outfit, stealing the gaze of every woman present, but the two super-beauties Kim Basinger and Uma Thurman both favored this handsome man; every frown and smile of theirs bloomed only for Hugo."This was the premiere report written by James Rutt the following day for 'US Weekly.' Clearly, he had placed the focus of his attention squarely on Hugo."When Hugo appeared on the red carpet, a new custom spring suit from Givenchy perfectly presented his handsome looks. That charm, enough to make one gasp, became the most beautiful scenery in Los Angeles before the sunset. Setting aside Hugo's achievements as an Actor, his appearance, which captivates all living beings, is beyond doubt. Whether it is the wise and steady Michael Douglas or the handsome and charming Richard Gere, neither can compare to Hugo. This twenty-five-year-old youth used his warm and gentle charm to light up the most dazzling beam of light in the spring of 1992."I think there won't be many voices opposing this; the reaction of the audience at the premiere can prove it. Furthermore, the favor shown by Basinger and Thurman allowed people to see Hugo's powerful attraction to women.As a goddess in the hearts of countless people in Hollywood, Kim's charm has received numerous certifications. Yet, when she saw Hugo, she couldn't help but be attracted to him. 'When I saw him, I thought to myself, I must get to know him. So that's what I did,' Kim said in an interview after the premiere ended. After the little interlude before the premiere, during the audience interviews after the movie finished playing, Kim once again expressed her welcome for Hugo's attendance: 'You made my night wonderful.' Sitting in the audience, Hugo responded with a shy smile. If someone sees Kim and Hugo out for dinner together three days from now, please don't be surprised.Uma Thurman, this twenty-two-year-old actress, possesses breathtaking beauty. Her prospects in Hollywood are clearly highly anticipated. Last night, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she offered her beautiful red lips to Hugo. That passionate kiss showed people the gorgeousness and beauty of invincible youth.Undoubtedly, the amazing chemistry between Uma and Hugo heated up the atmosphere on site. At the same time, it became the biggest question in everyone's hearts last night: Is there a romance happening between the two of them? Although Uma denied this claim in the interview after the premiere, insisting they were just friends—very good friends—she did not hide her favorable impression of Hugo, and Hugo seconded this statement.However, if Uma and Hugo did get together, I don't think anyone would protest.That stunning kiss also became the absolute focus that captured everyone's attention in Los Angeles last night.Besides this, Richard Gere also displayed his mature charm on the red carpet, still as elegant as ever. He is the male lead of the movie 'the last analysis,' and he stated that the collaboration with Kim and Uma this time was very pleasant. At the same time, 'basic instinct,' produced by Columbia Pictures, also held a grand premiere ceremony at the Chinese Theatre. The leads, Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone, both attended in full dress."After reading this report, it was clear to see that Hugo had become the absolute protagonist of James's writing, while both Richard and the leads of 'basic instinct' had become supporting characters. Looking at the front-page photo of 'US Weekly' this week, it was a large photo of Uma holding Hugo's cheeks in a passionate kiss. The beautiful profiles of the two were clearly presented on the newspaper cover, looking magnificent under the bright yellow lights of the theater. The bold headline'Suspected Scandal?' was even more eye-catching, attracting countless eyes.In fact, it wasn't just 'US Weekly.' On the day after the premiere of 'the last analysis,' over sixty percent of entertainment media chose the photo of Hugo and Uma's passionate kiss for their front pages. Another twenty percent of entertainment media layouts chose the sudden rise of the movie 'basic instinct' as their front page. The remaining twenty percent were a mixed bag, within which topics about Hugo took up half again—for example, Hugo stealing Richard's spotlight, or the uninvited guest Hugo disrupting the plans for two premieres, or Hugo's strong appearance after the Golden Raspberry Awards...It could be said that Hugo's appearance this time was not just a success; it was a total victory. The investment of four thousand five hundred dollars for a suit was completely worth the price. Givenchy's new spring design immediately became the primary object of attention for Hollywood celebrities. Conversely, Richard, who attended wearing Armani, felt a bit sour. One only wonders how Frank, the manager of the Armani Rodeo Drive branch, feels right now.Even more unexpectedly, Uma's kiss for Hugo completely ignited all the topics. This could also be said to be the result of the right time, the right place, and the right people. In truth, Uma was just a newcomer who hadn't debuted long ago, and Hugo was originally in a low period. Even if a real scandal had spread between the two, it likely wouldn't have produced such a massive effect.But on one hand, there was the gimmick of Hugo's first appearance since the Golden Raspberry Awards, plus the lead-up from 'scent of a woman.' On the other hand, there was Hugo's radiating charm that night, which attracted the gaze of all women, including Kim and Uma. Also not to be ignored was that both 'the last analysis' and 'basic instinct' contained a large number of erotic scenes, which caused topics like appearance, charm, men, and women to be infinitely magnified.It was under these multiple effects that today's explosive result was achieved, which was something no one had anticipated.Richard Gere's agent had bought all the major newspapers and magazines early in the morning, but after seeing the front-page headlines, he hid all the papers, only hoping that Richard wouldn't see today's news and have his mood affected. Unfortunately, as a veteran Actor who had spent fifteen years in the entertainment industry, Richard naturally wouldn't forget the habit of reading the newspapers the day after a premiere. So when he asked his agent, 'How are today's reports? Is the reaction good?' he noticed his agent's abnormality. The dodging eyes and stuttering words made Richard realize something was wrong. 'Where are the newspapers?'As a result, Richard saw the massive photos and striking headlines in 'US Weekly' and other publications. Even worse, the reports about Richard and the movie were merely a single line mentioned at the end. Richard hadn't encountered such treatment in many years, causing his face to turn stiff and cold in an instant.Ron Meyer looked at the front-page headline of 'US Weekly' and felt as if he had swallowed a fly. His face was full of shock and disbelief, not to mention the ensuing anger and irritability. Recalling how Hugo and Joseph had taken the initiative to request attendance at the 'basic instinct' premiere, only to be rejected by him, Ron felt as if his face had been slapped hard twice.Hugo successfully attended a premiere, and it was the premiere of 'basic instinct's' competitor—that was the first slap to Ron's face. Then Hugo attracted everyone's attention; even the news of 'basic instinct' holding its grand premiere at the Chinese Theatre failed to make the front-page headlines, becoming instead just a supplementary sentence at the end of the report on Hugo's scandal—that was the second slap to Ron's face.Ron only felt his cheeks burning with pain, and a sense of humiliation instantly submerged him. 'Gary!' Ron shouted, his voice trailing off in a roar full of unvented violence. This made Gary, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately become tremulous. He knew things were bad. Although seeing Hugo appear handsomely on the front page was something Gary was very happy to see, enduring Ron's wrath was not so pleasant.Gary pushed open the office door and walked in, only to have a large wad of something thrown at him by Ron. Gary instinctively dodged. Looking down, he saw it was the front page of 'US Weekly' crumpled into a ball of waste paper. Then he heard Ron's voice, suppressed with infinite anger, ask, 'Where is the front page of "Entertainment Weekly"?'"Hugo and Uma," Gary said, having to work hard to suppress the joy in his heart and speak as calmly as possible."The 'Los Angeles Times'?""Hugo," Gary said happily. He excitedly added, "It's a photo of Hugo alone on the red carpet; he really is quite handsome..." But before he could finish his sentence, Gary was frightened back by Ron's predatory gaze. The rest of the words were swallowed directly. "The effect of the photo coming out is really good though..." Gary muttered under his breath."Bastard! Animal! Damned disgusting asshole!" Ron finally couldn't hold it back anymore, kicking his executive chair in a fit of rage and pacing around the office like a madman, looking like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.Although Gary hadn't been Ron's assistant for long, Ron changed assistants very frequently. After being hired, Gary had asked several previous assistants and knew Ron's temper was this terrible. At this time, the wisest move was to use some good news to comfort Ron. "But the market reaction to 'basic instinct' is very good. The overall media and audience feedback is better than 'the last analysis'." This was probably the only surprise after the premiere ended yesterday. In the clash between two works of similar genres, 'basic instinct' had the upper hand. Although the reputation of 'the last analysis' was relatively good, clearly the topicality of 'basic instinct' was more outstanding. To put it simply, the former would likely be critically acclaimed, while the latter had a better chance of being a box-office hit.But clearly, this good news did not calm Ron down at this moment. He paused for a moment and roared again, "But everywhere it's Hugo, Hugo, Hugo! Why don't I see news about our film?""Uh... because Hugo is really handsome?" Gary answered cautiously...."Get out!"
