Chapter 1344 1344 Surfaced
When this episode of "The Tonight Show" aired, before the credits appeared at the end of the credits, a line appeared, "This film is dedicated to Jenny. Davis and the Grayson Gift Foundation." , and then a rainbow pinwheel icon appeared at the end of the subtitle.
This line of subtitles stayed for about three seconds before slowly disappearing, but it triggered an unimaginable follow-up reaction.
"The Tonight Show" actually called for 9.17 million viewers to sit in front of the TV at 11:30 p.m. to watch it. Thirteen's viewership record has once again created the highest ratings in the post-Johnny Carson era; and the ratings have also increased significantly, which is almost an incredible result for a late-night talk show.
Due to the "death row walk" and Hugo's topical effect, countless viewers have specially guarded in front of the TV, hoping to know the truth of the Hugo incident in August from the live TV broadcast. What's even more rare is that in the ratings range of 18 to 49 years old, "The Tonight Show" actually got a rating of 4.2, which also greatly exceeded the data of last year's special issue, and even approached. The ratings on the night Johnny Carson left "The Tonight Show" in 1992.
This shows that Hugo has an unparalleled strong appeal among young people today.
But to everyone's surprise, the highest-rating moment of "The Tonight Show" did not appear at the moment of clarification of the Hugo incident, but at the moment when Hugo and Jay were bickering on the topic of Brad. The 9.91 million viewers watched the clip of less than two minutes, and it was approaching the threshold of 10 million viewers endlessly!
It also made it clear that the Hugo-Brad showdown was still a hot topic—even if it seemed to disappear for a long time after the release of "The Seven Deadly Sins."
Relying on a series of record-breaking results, "The Tonight Show" easily beat out two rivals, "The Late Late Show with David Letterman" and "Politically Incorrect", which both had less than 3 million viewers. , not even a third of the "Tonight Show" score. Such a strong gap can almost be said to be sweeping!
After the broadcast of "The Tonight Show", all the topics about the filming of "Death Convict Walk" were answered positively. Hugo's dedication, calmness, calmness and concentration have been recognized by the audience, especially Hugo has repeatedly emphasized that he It's not an actor from a professional background, nor a talented actor, which also makes people clearly feel Hugo's efforts. It also made Hugo appear more normal.
People can't help but sigh: it turns out that Hugo is also an ordinary person.
Especially the "Tonight Show" plus the "Friends" broadcast later, the aura of deification surrounding Hugo suddenly faded a lot, which not only made Hugo more friendly, but also brought the relationship between Hugo and ordinary audiences closer. distance. This is also an unexpected result of Rick Rosen. It can only be said that the Matthew effect is indeed very impressive after it has played a positive role.
However, due to the sensitivity and special nature of the "Hugo Incident", there is no way for people to have more discussions, and the over and over again are just those contents. Therefore, there are not as many related topics as imagined. This is also an important reason why Rick insists that Hugo does not need to respond immediately - he knows that Hugo needs time to buffer, and he does not want people to put too much pressure on Hugo. But what is certain is that the discussion of "Death Roaming" has once again broken the table, and the movie tickets ordered in the first week are just as Hugo said: one ticket is hard to find!
In addition, the important reason why "The Tonight Show" has achieved such a high rating is the direct cooperation between Hugo and Jie. Many viewers have expressed to NBC that Hugo's witty words and Jie's wit and cunning are completely It can be said to be a match made in heaven, and even after "Friends" aired, people gave high marks to Hugo's talent for comedy, and there were people who suggested that Hugo and Jay should start a new comedy talk show together, which really made people feel I can't laugh or cry - everyone knows this can't happen.
After the broadcast of "The Tonight Show", it was precisely Jenny Davis, who was not very long.
Although there are not many parts of Hugo mentioning Jenny in the show, the words are very simple and sincere. The sentence "Hugo, am I going to die" made the eyes of countless viewers in front of the TV red.
In an instant, the issue of seriously ill children became the focus of social attention, and the news media reported on this topic one after another. For a while, news of related topics continued to be heard, which continued the fiery enthusiasm of the "Tonight Show" night, and in a blink of an eye, children became topic center.
After the media reported it, people realized that the problem of medical assistance for children was actually facing such great difficulties.
When many intractable diseases appear in adults, it is already very difficult, and because children's physical functions are not fully developed, especially many underage children, their own immunity is not perfect at all, which also makes many treatment methods impossible to use at all. And the children who cannot be treated because of economic problems are far beyond imagination. They are not in remote Africa or South America, but by their own side. Every day there are children leaving this world, and they don't even have time to enjoy the children's Childlike and joyful.
Charitable organizations headed by the Grayson Gift Foundation have become the object of attention, and more and more people are turning their attention to children—everyone knows that children are the future of society.
Among the countless focuses, some media questioned whether Hugo was doing a show, because there had never been any news about Hugo's charitable activities before. They believed that Hugo was just using the so-called charitable activities to build his own. Image engineering, which is undoubtedly shameful and despicable.
The power of the "Hugo Incident" has gradually receded, and the media has begun to return to its old ways again. Although there are not many questioning media, nor is it a national newspaper, and their wording is also very careful. It's not beyond the line; but it can still be seen that the media are still unwilling after all - no king will willingly hand over his scepter, not even the uncrowned king.
However, the news was later clarified. Grayson Gift Foundation, Santa Monica Hospital and other organizations defended Hugo in interviews with the media, and many volunteer colleagues also defended Hugo. testify. These testimonies also made the doubts dissipated before they had time to be publicized.
Naturally, all eyes were on the issue of helping seriously ill children.
The Grayson Gifts Fund raises $4 million in a pre-Christmas fundraiser! This is almost the sum of all donations since the Grayson Gift Foundation was established three years ago. It shows that Hugo has an unparalleled influence. He just mentioned it on "The Tonight Show" and achieved such results.
This is the so-called "star effect", even if it is a show, even if it is image public relations, but it is undeniable that more and more public figures join the charity activities, in order to attract more public attention and give charity Activity is more powerful. This can also be considered part of the added value of public figures. There is no difference between silently doing charity and high-profile charity, if the essence is charity, then there is no difference, but if the essence is deviated from the track, it is really undesirable.
In the face of such a high amount of donations, the Grayson Gift Foundation also publicly stated that most of these expenses will be sponsored by professional institutions for disease research, hoping to fundamentally help those children; the remaining expenses will be funded separately I hope that more children can grow up carefree and worry-free.
After finishing his work, Hugo quietly stood behind the scenes, because he knew that the real protagonists were the children in need, not him. So, Hugo just donated $300,000 to the Grayson Gift Foundation in his own name, and then disappeared temporarily.
After the long vacation, Hugo began to read the script one after another. Although he may not be involved in the crew immediately, he can at least have a plan.
After learning that Hugo began to officially read the script, Hollywood suddenly began to surge again. After experiencing the four works of "Pulp Fiction", "Before the Sunrise", "The Seven Deadly Sins", and "Death Row", major film companies began to express their interest in Rain. The orientation of the fruit is somewhat unclear. However, except for the "Seven Deadly Sins", the other three works are completely independent works, so the film companies are more inclined to submit independent scripts to Hugo.
The problem is, studios still want movies to win at the box office, but independents don't do that easily. This also makes the major production companies seem to be in a dilemma.
Among the many small moves, 20th Century Fox's huge plan finally began to surface, and Rick got the news right away. At present, 20th Century Fox is planning a big project with an investment budget of about 100 million US dollars. The epic war blockbuster was selected, and the scale will definitely far exceed expectations.
Not only that, 20th Century Fox's peripheral actions are also very frequent. They first contacted the White House actively, expressing their hope to be able to shoot on the spot in the White House; then they began to discuss with the NFL, trying to buy the advertising rights during the Super Bowl, before that. There are advertisements in the Super Bowl, but no movie ever chooses to promote it during the Super Bowl. This is undoubtedly the first time to eat crabs, which has attracted countless attention; then they also began to approach advertising sponsorship, including Apple, Coca-Cola All are in the list of negotiating objects.
The cast lineup of this work has not even been announced, and one move after another has already attracted the attention of countless people. But people are a little hesitant. Is this the second "Terminator 2" or the second "Future Water World"?
Under such circumstances, Sergio Mimica Gozan found Hugo himself.
