Chapter 1176 1176 Negative Image
Is Hugo a good baby figure? Obviously not.
Although Hugo has created many docile, well-behaved, and likable images, he has never been a good baby. Before he "rehabilitated", he was racing, drinking, and smoking. Poisons, fights... The negative news is endless, and it can be said that audiences across the United States have witnessed the fall of a rising star, just as Macaulay Culkin has disappeared like a shooting star in the past year.
Compared to Macaulay, Hugo's previous image was even worse, so when he won the Golden Raspberry Award, the criticism from countless media was not gloating or falling into the trap at all. They were just reporting according to the facts, but watching Hugo degenerates step by step and is somewhat disillusioned.
Whether it is infinitely rotten or infinitely brilliant, it is tiresome to see too many of the same trajectory. What's more, for the news media, all they need is to love the new and hate the old. If Hugo hadn't become the first actor in film history to receive the Golden Raspberry Award at the scene - and he is still the only actor to attend, the media would not bother to report it.
This is also the fundamental reason why the media habitually questioned Hugo after the Raspberry Awards. Now another three years have passed. Hugo has not only returned to the peak, but also reached a height that has never been reached before. He is tied with the famous top superstars in Hollywood history. Under the Matthew effect, the media no longer questioned the rain. The result, on the contrary, began to praise habitually.
In fact, even in the past three years, the negative news surrounding Hugo has continued, such as bad temper, big-name suspicions, Golden Globe Awards, witch trials, Houston events, etc., including Hugo's many times Media reporters are speechless.
Therefore, although Hugo's reputation is gradually rising and his popularity is gradually exploding, in the eyes of the public, Hugo has never been a good baby image.
Rumors about Hugo playing a big name are not once or twice. In Hollywood, as long as he is a serious entertainer, there will be such rumors. Some people in the circle even joked that it is a kind of sadness that there is no rumor of playing a big name, because this It shows that your weight is not enough, and no one cares. Even goodies like Tom Hanks have been rumored to be big names, only to be quickly swept down by Rick Rosen—because his image must not be associated with the news.
But this time seems different, because Hugo didn't deny it, Rick didn't deny it, and more importantly, the evidence was solid!
Anthony Bond Stewart of the "National Enquirer" almost fainted with excitement, because this time he didn't miss out. He spent most of the day exploring the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew and got the most direct evidence. , Obviously, Hugo has no room for quibble, he can finally reveal Hugo's true colors in front of all audiences!
"At the grand opening ceremony of 'The Seven Deadly Sins', all the main members of the crew were present, including Hugo Lancaster. At the opening ceremony, Hugo and all the members talked and laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood. But when At the beginning of the press conference, Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, David Fincher, Andrew Kevin Walker and other key members of the crew attended collectively, but they were absent. Hugo.
In the face of Hugo's absence, producer Gianni Nunali said that Hugo was not feeling well and temporarily went to the lounge to adjust. But the fact is that after the press conference, our reporter witnessed Hugo and Andrew chatting and laughing in the studio. Not only did they not show any physical fatigue, but they also seemed very relaxed.
It can be clearly seen that there is nothing wrong with Hugo's body. So what was the reason for Hugo's absence from the press conference? This makes us have to think deeply.
At the opening ceremony we can find a detail, there is not a single communication between Hugo and Brad, not even eye contact. It is obvious that the competition between these two popular actors has spread from the outside to the inside, and the first day the crew started to start, there was smoke of gunpowder.
From the current public information of the "Seven Deadly Sins", it can be concluded that Hugo's salary is higher than Brad's, but his role is obviously not as good as Brad's. This was clearly unacceptable for Hugo, especially the loss to direct competitor Brad, which made Hugo indignant.
Except for the special 'Scent of a Woman' and 'Schindler's List', Hugo has not played a supporting role since 'Dead Poets Society', especially the brilliant career of the past two years, making Hugo a step by step America's biggest box office hit. But hidden behind the brilliance of his career, there are hidden worries that are not easily discernible: Hugo's choice of works is slanted, and he has repeatedly clashed with large companies, which makes big companies from big companies unwilling to cooperate with Hugo—— 'Mission Impossible', which went into filming last week, is the latest example.
Under such circumstances, Hugo urgently needed more successful works to prove himself, so he chose the "Seven Deadly Sins".
It is a pity that although the New Line Film Company cannot be regarded as one of the eight major film companies in the strict sense, they obviously made an accurate judgment. They took a fancy to Brad's box office potential and chose Brad to become a The first male protagonist. After losing the competition for "Mission Impossible", Hugo hurriedly chose "Seven Deadly Sins" and joined the crew halfway.
Since the male lead had already chosen Brad, Hugo had no choice but to take the second lead role. But Hugo is still aggressive. First, he pressed Brad in terms of remuneration, and then he put pressure on the screenwriter to increase his role and try to equalize the role weight of himself and Brad.
The conflict broke out before the opening ceremony. When the crew was unwilling to compromise, Hugo chose to coerce and lure. So he refused to attend the press conference, and in a hurry, the director and producer could only cover up for Hugo and whitewash peace. Judging from the very happy conversation between Hugo and the screenwriter, Hugo has achieved his goal.
Then Brad's always cloudy look has a reasonable explanation.
Obviously, in the face of hidden dangers and fluctuations in his career and signs of going downhill, Hugo lost his calmness and calm before gradually revealing his true face, using his popularity as a threat, using his own The network of people put pressure on them and use their achievements as a bargaining chip to achieve their own goals. Although I don't know whether 'Seven Deadly Sins' is worth doing, and whether this work can become Hugo's turnaround, at least in Hugo's view, it can beat the menacing Brad, all this has already been done. enough.
For his own sake, Hugo let go of the ninety-three reporters who came to Burbank specifically to interview him, refused to attend the press conference, and threatened the crew to help conceal it, and even had to compromise due to his obscenity. . This is not only unprofessional and irresponsible, but also a betrayal to the audience who love him and love him, and it is a wrong demonstration. After the peak of his career rate, Hugo has gradually lost himself.
Macaulay-Culkin-esque tragedy is still in sight. Is Hugo Lancaster going to become another negative image representative of Hollywood Vanity Fair? This is really worrying. "
"Mr. Bond" Anthony Stewart really has two brushes, three parts lie and seven parts truth, and he stunned to weave a news report with solid evidence, especially describing all the "ninety-three reporters" The details of becoming a special trip to Burbank to interview Hugo undoubtedly fueled hatred.
The "National Enquirer" is not one of those professional newspapers. It is a supermarket tabloid that makes a living by gossip. As long as there are no special events like witch trials, no matter how nonsense they are, their influence will be limited. At least readers will not condemn them. "False Reporting". Because everyone knows, gossip supermarket tabloids, read it and laugh it off, believe it or not.
But people ignore the fact that many times they don't believe it on the surface, but they have been subconsciously influenced by supermarket tabloids like the National Enquirer, and a "groundless" sentence is enough to plant the seeds of doubt. This is the power of gossip. What it needs is not people's trust, but people's curiosity and people's doubts.
Therefore, the "National Enquirer" did not write reports like regular news, but wrote a speculation similar to a novel, and even vividly described Hugo's mental journey of playing a big name. Believable!
If the "National Enquirer" was just gossip, then the next day, "Chicago Tribune", "Washington Post", "USA Today" and other newspapers and magazines confirmed the news, although they only confirmed " The fact that Hugo was absent from the press conference," made the seeds of doubt in people's minds germinate.
In the face of such a situation, both the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew and Rick Rosen issued an official statement that Hugo was indeed unwell yesterday, so he was temporarily absent from the press conference. Doctors proved that Hugo was weak from food poisoning and needed to rest for three to five days before re-entering the set.
However, the official statement of the crew not only did not clarify the facts, but made it worse, and people believed that Hugo was taking Joe and playing a big name!
Because if Hugo really responds in good faith, first of all, he will show up in person. Even if he is sick, he can do an interview with reporters. If he does not want to show up, he is worried that the fact of pretending to be sick will be exposed; secondly, Hugo will at least pretend to be. Reconcile with Brad or appear on the crew, or hold a press conference, in short, to make up for the regret of not being there yesterday, and to clarify the misunderstanding.
Sadly, Hugo didn't. It's just a press release from the crew and agent. This shows what? It shows that Hugo is guilty.
This time, all the media reporters seemed to be intoxicated. After taking the medicine, I jumped up and down with excitement, revenge for revenge, and those who had no revenge fell into the trap to watch the fun, and almost all the media began to bombard them wildly. At first, everyone just condemned Hugo for playing a big name, but things gradually began to change.
