Chapter 1173: 1173 Big Brand Prestige

Hugo was absent from the entire press conference and never showed up. Almost all reporters' attention turned to this: Was Hugo really sick or was he playing a big game? If it's the latter, what happened inside the crew? Did Hugo and Brad really fight! So, Hugo refused to attend the press conference, but Brad stole the show at the press conference, who should be the loser?

The fire of gossip among reporters is blazing!

After the press conference, almost all the reporters surrounded Gianni, Brad, David and others, trying to find out the truth.

In fact, most reporters do not believe that Hugo will play a big name. This is the influence of the Matthew effect. After the Golden Raspberry Award, everyone habitually questioned Hugo; now, everyone is habitually optimistic about Hugo, and this change has gradually formed a strong influence and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the past two years, Hugo has always been praised for his humble and dedicated image, and many behind-the-scenes staff in the circle are full of praise for Hugo. This kind of word-of-mouth is not the public relations effect of the brokerage company. With one or two news reports, a "tall" image can be promoted.

Nicholas hesitated for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then found Samora who had just returned from the bathroom. Nicholas couldn't help but rejoice that he blocked Samora instead of Joseph. You must know that Joseph was a broker before, and he was not slippery and tricky. It was not an easy task to set Joseph's words. But Samora is different.

"Samora, I mean really, is Hugo really okay?" Nicholas had a concerned expression, but Samora was a little hesitant, and his expression was obviously struggling. Nicholas immediately caught this anomaly, "Rain If it's okay! Right, Hugo is okay!" Nicholas said this in a positive tone.

Samora reacted, "Hugo is resting now, and he still needs to observe and observe." The meaning of the words is that Hugo was really uncomfortable just now, and now he has recovered.

But Nicholas didn't believe it. Did Hugo really play a big name? If someone said this, Nicholas would not believe it for the first time, and he was not the first to know Hugo. But is there a better explanation for this? Is Hugo really fascinated by the success of one after another? No, definitely not...

"I'll bring your greetings to Hugo, I'll go first." Samora almost fled, Nicholas wanted to reach out and grab Samora, but he was empty, and then he saw Samora running away gone.

"There's something tricky!" Nicholas was very sure.

Gianni and David, who finally got rid of the reporter's entanglement, looked embarrassed, but compared to Brad, the two of them were already lucky. Brad's clothes were soaked with sweat and looked like they had been fished out of the water, and although the weather is getting warmer in April now, it's still too exaggerated.

Brad hurried to change his clothes, while Gianni and David looked at each other.

"David, is this really okay?" Gianni asked with an uneasy look.

David Fincher stood there with an obscure expression, "I don't know, I have no way to answer such a question. But I know that Hugo is all for our crew's consideration, and this is the best way to come. Now that Hugo doesn't care anymore, we don't have to worry about it."

Gianni couldn't refute, and the two of them were quiet for a while. After a long time, Gianni said, "I only know why those who have worked with Hugo in the circle say that Hugo is dedicated."

David chuckled and smiled, "At the beginning of 'Schindler's List' there were rumors that Hugo was drinking too much. In fact, it was Hugo's contribution to entering the role. So, we shouldn't be surprised, right? "In fact, after the first conversation between the two of them that night, David was impressed by Hugo. So, today Hugo's decision, David is not surprised at all.

Is Hugo really a big name? Yes and no. As Nicholas thought, there is something tricky here.

When it comes to the entire crew of "Seven Deadly Sins", who is the first person that comes to mind? Obviously Hugo, followed by Brad and Morgan. As the most influential actor today, Hugo's joining is a double-edged sword for the "Seven Deadly Sins". He can bring endless attention to the crew, but it is also easy for the crew to be forced to be exposed in the media. Under the flash, this is not a good thing for a work of suspense, horror and thriller.

But Hugo played Anonymous, the culprit of the "Seven Deadly Sins" and the biggest highlight of the whole movie. If people know in advance that Hugo is playing a serial killer, this will undoubtedly reduce the suspense and charm of the film; similarly, if people are guessed that Hugo is a serial killer, this means that director David Fincher no matter what No matter how hard he tried, the thrilling atmosphere he created for the movie would fall short. What does this mean for the "Seven Deadly Sins"? Means failure!

This is ignored by everyone, including Rick, including Hugo himself. In the end, Joseph accidentally mentioned, "Hugo, shouldn't the identity of Anonymous be a secret?" This made Hugo suddenly wake up.

The original Anonymous actor Kevin Spacey was not well-known when he starred in "Seven Deadly Sins", but even so he deliberately concealed his identity and played hide-and-seek with the audience. Now that it's Hugo, he should be even more so.

Hugo soon realized that if he was present at the press conference, reporters would have to focus on asking him about his character. Of course, Hugo could rely on his eloquence to divert the conversation and draw attention to his matchup with Brad. But this is a temporary solution. Not to mention whether the reporters could be fooled at the press conference, the whole filming period of "Seven Deadly Sins" is bound to face this problem.

After careful weighing, Hugo decided to "play a big name" and absent from the press conference, including the subsequent filming period, completely disappeared from the eyes of reporters.

It's not just about missing a press conference, when Hugo isn't there, everyone else's attention is bound to shift to Hugo's absence, even if there are questions about Hugo's role, David , Gianni and others can also use some smoke bombs to divert their targets. For example, polite words like "Hugo's role is very important" may not be powerful in normal times, but in the absence of Hugo, reporters will obviously Understanding that "since Hugo is so important, he is still absent from the press conference", the focus will easily shift.

Hugo knew reporters very well. He knew that this group of reporters would definitely not want to miss this breaking point. Even if someone noticed the anomaly, they would not give up.

In this way, the reporters will focus on this matter for a long time. As long as Hugo continues to cooperate with the performance - for example, he refuses to interview reporters for granted, then it is obviously difficult for reporters to shift their attention. When the reporters were once again curious about how important Hugo's role in the "Seven Deadly Sins" was, it was estimated that the movie had already been completed, and they could only confirm it after the movie was released.

Simply put, it is to sacrifice Hugo alone to focus firepower on a sensitive topic, thereby blurring the original focus. This kind of thing is actually what reporters are best at. Every time the opening ceremony and press conference of a new work, the crew hopes that reporters will pay more attention to the work itself, but reporters always focus on lace news and gossip scandals. Shift focus. Now it's the other way around. The reporters want to explore Hugo's role in the crew, but the crew can't let them do it.

In fact, this was the negligence of the entire crew, including the screenwriter Andrew, everyone forgot about it: it is really not a very wise choice to let a famous person like Hugo play Anonymous. But then again, aside from the "tiring reputation and popularity", Hugo is indeed the best choice.

So, Hugo said, "Since it's a reputation burden, let this burden work a little bit, at least make it a substitute for a diversion target."

Both David and Gianni know that sacrificing their reputation for the sake of the crew is not an easy task.

So this is the strange scene at the press conference. David and Gianni have always been secretive about Hugo's role; if we go further, Hugo has been silent when he communicated with Nicholas, James and others before. Up to now, no one still understands what kind of role Hugo joined the "Seven Deadly Sins" for! important? How important is it? How much is the 10 million yuan salary worth?

It's a pity that no one wants to look into this now, and the Hugo's big-name affair is the real sensation compared to a "tiny, innocuous" character. If you think about the previous "New York Post"'s worry about Hugo's career going downhill, it is not difficult to draw a picture: Hugo also noticed that his career was declining, which made him unbalanced and unacceptable, so he broke the jar. He took the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins", and even played a big name in the crew. Maybe the "Hudson's Eagle" style collapse will really be repeated!

In an instant, all the reporters were in a frenzy. After the press conference, they all went to the crew and tried their best to explore Hugo's "condition", trying to draw an accurate picture. But the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew took the lead: they closed the crew and entered closed shooting in an all-round way.

This move of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew just proved the reporters' speculation, and the crew was really covering up for Hugo. It seems that Hugo, who has been rising for three years, is finally about to fall. Why is everyone so excited?

"Hugo, is this really good?" David walked up to Hugo, looked at Hugo who was chatting with Andrew, and said worriedly.
