Chapter 244 Chapter 244

The first to attack was "Entertainment Weekly", which was only launched in 1990. This entertainment magazine, which has just entered its third year, is the fastest-growing subscription magazine in the entire market. It now also owns a magazine in Los Angeles very large influence.

"Entertainment Weekly" organized Hugo's big-name incidents into a book, pointing out that Hugo's big-name play was not a matter of one or two days, and it was obvious that he had a record. With the popularity of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", Hugo's attitude towards fans during the promotion period has gradually changed, from being diligent at the beginning to repeatedly rejecting fans' autographs and taking pictures at the program recording and publicity sites. And more than once or twice, the most specific of which is a real testimonial from a fan.

The fan named Bob - Word (Bob. Word) is from Chicago. He met Hugo during Hugo's recording of "Oprah's Talk Show". He said that Hugo was in an idle state of shopping at the time. Moreover, the formal dress and etiquette rules, but he refused his request to take photos and autographs, and even refused to shake hands, which made him disappointed and even felt angry.

"Entertainment Weekly" stated that the occurrence of the Bob incident was very close to the time of the Yonghu Street blockade incident. No matter what happened on Yonghu Street that night, Hugo was no longer willing to be kind to fans' support. The answer is an indisputable fact. The magazine also specifically pointed out that Hugo's response gradually became clear as the film's performance rose. This big-name act, which is synchronized with the speed of popularity, is really obvious, and it is worrying: if Hugo achieves success in the future. Better achievements, will there be more exaggerated and harsh behaviors?

This report about "Entertainment Weekly" is actually quite normal. Similar news will appear almost every once in a while. How artists get along with fans has always been a problem, especially in a country like the United States that advocates individuality and protects privacy, Fans will think that his request has not been responded to by the artist, which is disrespectful to him; similarly, the artist will also think that his private life has been violated, and he can only respond to fans within the allowable range during non-working hours. Such two concepts are very prone to conflict, so almost every artist will encounter fan incidents more or less.

If this is the case, at other times, Hugo's behavior can not be said to be a "big name", it can only be said that he was carried away by popularity. However, this report from "Entertainment Weekly" appeared after the brawl at the Golden Globe Awards celebration banquet. became a reality.

The "National Enquirer" immediately broke the news that Hugo was late for the big-name event. During the filming of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the incident that he was late on the first day of arriving on the crew was revealed, and the Alleje incident was changed. A report was carried out, which pointed out that it was Hugo who directed Allejee and made many excessive demands, which embarrassed Allejee, and as a result, Allejee lost his job.

Not only that, but what's even more surprising is that the "National Enquirer" actually broke the news that Hugo missed the "Desperate" audition because he was late. In the report, writing reporter Anthony Stewart pointed out that Hugo was an hour late, which completely angered the producer Arnold Coppelson, who had valued him very much, and resulted in an unhappy breakup. This lateness is clearly disrespectful and shows a lack of respect for the producer.

However, in this case, the audition time for "Desperados" in Anthony's report was actually the day before the Golden Globes, which is on the 23rd, and it was vividly described that Hugo was because of the party the day before. And then from Malibu to Universal Studios audition, which led to the late arrival.

The big-name act of "playing with things and dying" is now more and more real.

Then, the famous supermarket gossip tabloid "Globe" once again boldly broke the news that Hugo has not received a new script for half a year since "Yihai Xiongfeng". The production companies have retreated, and Hugo's picky on the script is even more harsh. "Globe" pointed out that scripts including "Sugar-Coated Trap", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Desperados" and other scripts were willing to invite Hugo to play the leading role, but they did not reach an agreement on the remuneration, and Hugo did not agree with the script. They all asked for changes, which is a huge challenge to the authority of the director and producer, so the results were unhappy, which led to the success of the Hugo film after the release, but never received a new work.

It was the "National Enquirer" three days later that pushed this "big name suspicion" to its peak. This supermarket gossip tabloid broke out a huge scandal for the second time. This time, the news pointed out that Hugo was actually a long way from a work. The cooperation with the film is very close. This work has an investment of 60 million US dollars, and has invited a big-name director and a top lineup to appear. It is obviously a work with great ambitions.

But Hugo eventually brushed aside the work, not because of the supposed pay issue, but because Hugo tried to interfere with the casting of the cast.

Anthony, who wrote this news again, has become a figure on the cusp of this news event, and he righteously condemned Hugo in the report, "Hugo tried to mix a male friend and a female friend. Arranged on top of the main roles of the crew, the cooperation that had already entered the signing stage had to be interrupted. The director and producer is a famous legend in the industry who has made great achievements. He was not only stunned but also very indignant about Hugo's behavior. Guo has achieved good results, but he is only a young actor after all, and he is not qualified to dictate the casting of the crew, which directly led to the breakdown of the cooperation, Hugo was abandoned, and he was completely missed from this work."

Although Anthony did not directly write the name of the work in the report, it is widely speculated that this work is a "sugar-coated trap" because it is the closest Hugo has worked in the past two months. Director Sidney Pollack fits Anthony's description. Sidney continued to express his appreciation for Hugo during the release of "The Righteous Sea", making people think that Hugo's next work is likely to be "Sugar-Coated Trap" In the process, no other strong competitors have emerged, which also proves this statement. But after entering 1993, the cooperation between Hugo and "Sugar-Coated Trap" suddenly disappeared, which made people have to think of it.

In this wave after wave of big-name frenzy, Hugo's young and ignorant, big-name arrogant image suddenly became "tall". Although all these are just rumors, they still have a huge impact on the public.

In fact, many media have different views on this matter.

For example, with regard to fans, most of the facts pointed out by "Entertainment Weekly" miss the point, that is, Hugo was in a busy publicity period at the time, he had no time to take care of fans and had to rush schedule; for example, "Yihai" Regarding the matter of the "Xiong Feng" crew, the crew also stood up and clarified that Alleje was the leader of the incident, and Hugo was the victim.

Let's take another example of "The End of the World". The audition was not on the 23rd, but on the morning of the 25th. The reason why Hugo was late was because of Anthony's press conference that morning. The problem is that what happened in the morning, Anthony knew it in the afternoon, and reported it the next day, and distorted the facts. There is really something tricky in it.

The issue of the salary has not been affirmed by anyone in the circle, and it is nonsense to meddle in the casting work of the "sugar-coated trap". Sidney has not given any positive affirmation to this matter.

These justifications also prove that the so-called "big-name suspicions" are nothing at all.

For a time, the media held their own opinions. Some people thought that Hugo was really playing a big name, some people thought it was ridiculous, some people thought it was a hype plan led by Hugo himself, and there were even others. It is thought that Hugo and Anthony colluded to direct the play just to gain attention.

Messy remarks flooded the news and entertainment pages this week. The brawl that was expected to cause an uproar was left behind, and whether Hugo was playing a big name has become the latest focus of debate, although some people accused it. There are defenses, but there is no doubt that the same goes for all audiences, some who believe and some who don't.

The biggest impact of this incident is that most people's impression of Hugo is indeed plummeting. After all, at the center of such a storm, it is difficult for people to believe that all this is groundless, and the idea of ​​no wind and no waves is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Especially the so-called "big name" incident, this is not a murder case, it can be proved by evidence, and it is more of an attitude shown by the artist, so basically everyone has their own judgment.

Hugo became the center of the whirlpool of public opinion. This was the expected situation after the celebration banquet, but it was not the result that Hugo and Joseph expected. This also put Hugo in a terrible situation: the media reporters hoped to He found more news from him, but the film production companies did not want to attract more attention on the cusp of this storm, which made Hugo, who was originally idle at home, estimated to continue to rest for a while.

I originally thought that the success of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" and "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" would make Hugo's career skyrocket, but now it seems that not only did he not have a positive response, but instead verified the curse of "many popular people". , so that Hugo was entangled in a lot of right and wrong, and it was easier said than done to escape in a short time.

In the past week, Hugo would be followed and entangled by reporters wherever he appeared. He couldn't even find a minute's silence, which made Hugo's mood agitated.

Although it is said that the negative impact of the brawl has been solved; although it is said that there are positives and negatives in the discussion of this big-name suspicion, and there are endless debates; although it is said that it is at least better than no one to pay attention to it now... But this is not Hugo the way you want.
