Chapter 1267 1267
Colin Myler's heart was bleeding, and Brandon Bryan's phone stabbed him in the chest almost like a dagger, and then stirred twice, making a big hole, The blood was rushing down, and the tingling almost made him bit his lip.
"Hugo is crazy", this news can be said to be a tsunami. Even laymen know that once this is confirmed, not only Hollywood, it can be said that almost the entire United States will be in turmoil, and even Europe will be shocked. spread to. As the most powerful, far-reaching and appealing artist in recent years, Hugo's every move can trigger a chain reaction and bring violent shocks.
Someone once joked that Hugo alone maintains one-tenth of the profits of today's American entertainment industry. This is not a joke, but more of a fact. Hugo is not only an actor and a singer, but his contributions are not only in the box office of movies, album sales, tour box office, from the brokerage industry to the film production industry, From actor pay changes to media industry influence, the interests linked behind the name "Hugo Lancaster" cover almost the entire entertainment industry.
One of the most direct things is that Hugo completely refused media access during the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins". Although the media has been hyping up Hugo's big name, trying to divert the focus, the fact is that in the past three months, Hugo has not. Newspaper sales in the greater Los Angeles area fell by 14 percent during that time, when any media interviews almost disappeared. The economic benefits contained in this are evident.
Therefore, when the filming of "Death Ramble" begins, the media will "justifiably" join forces to block Hugo. They need to make Hugo feel the existence of the "Uncrowned King", not only to breathe a sigh of relief, but also for the future. Cooperative development.
This is the status quo: the media are trying to block Hugo together, and teach Hugo a lesson that is crucial for the major news outlets. Even though they all knew that the "death row walk" itself didn't need attention, their attitudes had to be presented accurately.
"Death Ramble" has been filming for a month in a blink of an eye, and reports about the crew have completely disappeared, which is completely inconsistent with the cast of the crew. As long as they persevere, when the movie starts to carry out pre-promotion, especially when the movie tries to make a difference at major awards ceremonies, the crew will start to bow their heads and plead for the cooperation of the media - they need the cooperation of the media to achieve Profits are maximized, because this is the rule of the circle and the way the circle works.
Yes, as long as they stick with it...
Colin thought to himself in his heart, but he was overwhelmed by anger and pain in an instant, and almost didn't drop the phone directly.
As long as it persists for a while, just a little longer, the "Death Ramble" crew will be the first to be unable to hold on, whether it is Steven Spielberg using his influence to pressure, or the "Los Angeles Times", The "New York Times" took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and the media who blocked Hugo would take a high profile to win their own victory-even if they lifted the ban, it was because of the face of Steven or his peers. By then they would be invincible, and could even force Hugo to bow to them.
What a beautiful victory that would be.
But now things are different. "Hugo is crazy", this news will undoubtedly occupy the headlines of major news for a long time, even if the news is clarified afterwards, the impact has already spread, and the news media that reported it have also obtained got what they wanted - attention and profit.
Faced with such a piece of news, it is difficult for media practitioners to resist the temptation. Confused, it is as if a gold mine has been exposed in front of you, even if you know that there are many competitors around, even if you know that digging a gold mine with your bare hands is likely to make your hands bloody, but you will still risk your life to pounce on it. People die for wealth, birds die for food, this is the iron rule of nature.
Colin was no exception, he felt like he was being roasted on a fire. Colin even suspected that this news was a fake news deliberately released by the crew of "Death Ramble", the purpose was to "block the alliance" and let the major media focus on the crew.
Although Colin knew that this possibility was very small, because Hugo hated hype the most, Hugo was unlikely to agree, and Tim and Steven were both Hugo's friends, and they would not force Hugo. ; but the timing of this news is so delicate that it almost makes Colin want to kill himself.
But in the end, Colin decided to give up this reporting opportunity, which was a decision he had to make.
Banning Hugo and banning the "death row" is not a whim, and Colin still hopes to persevere. Precisely because he knew how much focus and interest Hugo was maintaining, he knew that in the future confrontation with Hugo, he must have the upper hand. Because the "New York Post" has no way out.
The box office battle of "Life and Death" made the "New York Post" lose the opportunity to interview Hugo. Although Hugo had already blocked the "New York Post" during the witch trial, the bet was an official end in the official sense. , and even made the "New York Post" lose the possibility of further building a relationship with Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.
And now everyone realizes what Endeavour Elite Brokerage really stands for.
Therefore, the blocking of the alliance this time is the key for Colin to take the initiative. The best result is to break the ice wall and let the "New York Post" and Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company go online again; the worst result is to ease the relationship and let the "New York Post" Report" regained his confidence and attitude during the confrontation with Hugo.
Colin had no way out.
What's more, Hugo is really crazy? Colin strongly doubts the authenticity of this news, not to mention whether this news is a smoke bomb released by the "Death Ramble" crew, but Anthony's investigation of the sources of these news can't help but scrutinize. Supermarket gossip tabloids such as the "National Enquirer" report, it's not a big problem, at least Anthony still has a source, rather than fabricating it out of thin air; but the "New York Post" can't, they can't afford "this is fake news" s consequence.
In the end, Colin made a decision: not to report.
This is almost equivalent to cutting a piece of Colin's flesh, and what is even more terrifying is that not only the "New York Post" can't report, Colin has to convince "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle", "Daily News" , "Chicago Tribune" and other major national newspapers do not report, because this is a "blocking alliance", and must keep pace, otherwise the "New York Post" does not report without any effect.
This is not only to cut Colin a piece of meat, but also to cut many pieces of meat.
Brandon knew Colin's struggles and struggles, because he wasn't much better, although the National Enquirer has never made it their mission to "report the truth" and they even reported it seriously without any evidence The Alien News, because they are the supermarket tabloids, providing the tools for housewives to put food baskets and carts; but for Hugo, he also had to be careful, and then careful.
"Tony, tell me your opinion, I can use it as a reference." Brandon sighed, still unable to make up his mind.
Anthony only felt that the throbbing in his head was getting worse and worse. As long as he thought about Hugo, he felt uncomfortable all over. But... Anthony thought about it carefully, and his heart was stunned, "Report! Why not report it!" Anthony knew that as long as he was in this line of business, it was impossible not to face Hugo. What's more, Hugo can't afford to lose now. The higher the status, the more restraints. Compared with Hugo, he and the National Enquirer can both afford to lose.
"Brandon, I think we should report it." Anthony closed his eyes recklessly and said in a snarl, "This news is clear that it can be sold, why don't we report it? It's a fool to have money and not make money. More Besides, we can't keep our hands and feet like this all the time, whether it's against Hugo or anyone else."
Brandon sighed again, he knew that what Anthony said was the truth... In the end, Brandon gritted his teeth and said directly, "Deng! You write it today, we will board tomorrow! Your colleagues Take good care of them, don't let the wind leak out!"
Now that I have decided to report, I naturally have to play a big one. Anthony asked several colleagues in the process of inquiring, and he had to pay them a hush fee to ensure that the news was exclusive to the National Enquirer. As for the New York Post, Colin is no fool.
After hanging up the phone, Anthony calmed down. This might be his best chance to fight back against Hugo after the witch trials, and maybe it was only one chance, so he had to calm down. Anthony's brain started racing, and after a few calls, he had to learn a little more about the details of "Hugo's Crazy" so that even if it was a made-up story, it would be more real.
At the same time, Colin was also making a quick phone call. He knew how quickly news spread in this industry. Maybe the moment he hesitated here, someone had leaked the news. Maybe in the "blocking alliance" Some people can't stand the temptation. Confused? So, for Colin, every second counts.
The United States in July is still shrouded in the summer heat. The summer season is in full swing, allowing countless audiences to enjoy the rare leisure time of the year in the movie theater. At the same time, the news media began to have a dark tide and a storm. It is quietly brewing, no one can predict how long this storm will last, what consequences it will have, and how it will end, but what is certain is that it will be a grand show!
