Chapter 342 342 The So-Called Hype

Hugo didn't know why Uma suddenly brought himself up again, and also put the fault of the two people's breakup on himself, but in Hugo's view, he didn't want to make any response.

On the one hand, that relationship has ended, and Hugo has completely turned the page. Although hearing Uma mention it again now makes people feel very unhappy, Hugo feels that there is no need to struggle with it all the time, and he can afford it. On the other hand, even if Hugo wanted to respond, he didn't feel the need to explain to the reporter. This was his personal love life, and he didn't think he had the need to explain to the reporter. , and don't think it's a good idea to shout through reporters in the air - Hugo still doesn't have much affection for reporters.

Therefore, Hugo was a little stunned when he heard the reporter's repeated questions, and then came back to his senses. He smiled at the reporters and said politely, "If she said yes, then Right." After speaking, Hugo continued to walk forward. The reporters obviously did not expect Hugo to give such an answer, and there was a momentary pause, which allowed Hugo to move on.

When the reporters responded and were about to continue to surround them, they found that Joseph rushed over with a push cart. Joseph himself was very strong, and with a cart, a road was immediately cleared. Then Joseph ran to Hugo's side, and the two walked out of the airport quickly. With Joseph's escort, it was obviously not so easy for the reporters to contain them. Hugo quickly got into the nanny car that Carl Earl drove over, and then walked away.

"It was the first time in my life that I enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by reporters at the airport. It's really disappointing." Hugo's mood was not greatly affected. Carl couldn't even laugh.

"Why did the reporter surround you just now?" Joseph missed the reporter's questioning session and naturally didn't know much about the situation. Carl, who was driving, looked back at Hugo, cast an inquiring look, and hesitated.

Hugo also had no intention of concealing it, and said calmly, "It's Uma. In an interview, she talked about dating me, but it didn't sound like a positive feedback message." Forgot to curl his lips, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

Joseph frowned, "What else does she want to do?" When Tracy and Martin Baum set up Hugo, Uma knew about Hugo's situation, but chose Tracy and Martin. Since then Joseph has been dissatisfied with Uma. Because he knew that Uma was a woman whose interests came first, and everything could be sacrificed for her own future.

Carl sat in the driver's seat and coughed lightly, "I know." He has been in Los Angeles all the time, and he has a good grasp of the situation. "She is promoting a movie recently."

The thing is actually quite simple. Uma filmed a work at the end of last year, and the cast is still very strong. The male lead opposite Uma is the famous Robert De Niro, and the two actors are the famous comedian Bill Murray ( Bill. Murray).

Bill Murray was born on the original cast of the second cast of the classic American late-night comedy Saturday Night Live (Saturday. Night. Live), and is still a popular veteran member of Saturday Night Live. After leaving the show The success of "Mr. Douce" and "Ghostbusters" has made Bill an indispensable member of today's first-line comedians.

Another screenwriter is relying on "the color of money (The. Color. Of. Money)" won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay nomination Richard - Price (Richard. Price).

This lineup is undoubtedly very large, and even if Uma as the heroine is slightly less famous, it still makes people pay for the movie called "Mad. Dog. And. Glory". Huge anticipation. After the film was released, the word of mouth was not bad. The comprehensive media score of 67 points was very good compared to other films of the same type, but the box office suffered a fiasco. The opening weekend only received less than three million US dollars at the box office, which can be described as is a huge failure.

In this case, Uma, who was in the film promotion period, broke the news when she was interviewed.

The date between Uma and Hugo was officially announced last year from the premiere of "The Heroes of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", and lasted for nearly three months. This pair of bi people can be called a talented man and a woman, and it also makes people gossip and curious. endlessly. But unfortunately, there have been very few rumors between the two people, which has always made reporters feel frustrated.

When Hugo spread the absurd "suicide rumors" in "Sleepless in Seattle" before, a reporter asked Hugo whether he and Uma did not continue dating, and Hugo also gave a positive answer to this. . It's just that the inside story is not mentioned at all, which is definitely a torment for journalists who make a living from news.

Now, Uma actually took the initiative to break the news, how can this make reporters not excited, especially in the case of Hugo and Steven Spielberg in a movie, not to mention the prospects of "Schindler's List" , at least on the topic is enough to attract attention. Therefore, Uma's speech about Hugo became the front page headlines of major gossip newspapers overnight.

The gossip magazine "National Enquirer" even broke the news, "Uma and Hugo stopped dating, Uma is the victim!" In that gossip article, Anthony Stewart boldly speculated that after Hugo's career was on the rise, Began to become defiant, thinking that he could not match his gradually rising status, so the two sides had many disputes, which eventually led to the breakup.

Although it is well known that the "National Enquirer" is unreliable, and the two or three things that they and Hugo had to say have greatly reduced the authenticity of the news, it is undeniable that this time Anthony's speculation is quite true. On the one hand, this statement coincides with what Uma said, "Hugo's private image is different from that of the big screen";

In this case, the name "Uma Thurman" has received huge attention in just one week, and the box office of "Mad Dog and Glory" has shown a trend of inverse growth. The second week It grossed an impressive $3.5 million at the weekend box office.

That's how things came about. So when Hugo arrived in Los Angeles, the reporters swarmed like sharks when they saw the smell of blood. Relatively speaking, "Schindler's List" really didn't have any more explosive points to pay attention to. The reporters would ask questions. Steven was just being polite. When Steven refused to answer, everyone naturally did not continue to entangle, and immediately surrounded Hugo.

Now, everyone is obviously looking forward to Hugo's response, and Hugo just responded at the airport. The reporter will definitely process it according to his own ideas when he goes back. It is conceivable that the news will be lively again.

"Hype, it's definitely hype!" Joseph said angrily, "This method is really inferior, these reporters just like this kind of bullshit gossip."

Hugo naturally reacted. In the past, when he read newspapers and magazines, all kinds of gossip, dog blood, and rumors were flying around, not to mention the quarrel between couples. Even accidents that occurred in the work process can be fabricated out of thin air and become hype. It's not uncommon for a couple who broke up to yell at each other in magazines and accuse each other.

The most famous in the history of entertainment is the Kardashian family. This family is a famous socialite family in New York and has a very high reputation in the entertainment industry. They record their lives into reality shows and broadcast them on TV. Then pack and hype every detail of your life into a hot spot, new romance, quarrel, breakup, family conflict, new lover, marriage proposal, marriage, pregnancy, sibling rivalry, friend competition... even sex. Love video has become one of the means of hype, and it can be called a family that relies on hype to become famous.

It's just that Hugo used to look at these news like a joke. He didn't expect that one day it would happen to him. Of course, after the Golden Globe Awards incident, Hugo was not surprised by this.

In fact, the so-called hype is very simple. It is to deliberately exaggerate and magnify one thing infinitely, and then, with the help of the media, an amazing eye attraction erupts. Under normal circumstances, the more bloody the more intense, the more eye-catching, thus making the parties involved in the incident more attractive. into the public eye.

Hugo has always despised hype, because it is actually selling his life to attract attention. This is not only a problem of poor means, but also a flogging of his privacy and turning himself into a part of entertainment. This is so sad.

Hugo suddenly felt that Uma was actually quite pitiful. When her career hit a bottleneck, everything became a means for her to gain attention, including her feelings. Logically speaking, Hugo should not be surprised, because the previous events have shown that when Uma chooses between love and career, he always chooses the latter, and this time is no exception; but even so, understand After the cause and effect of the incident, Hugo still felt a little helpless.

"So, what are you going to do?" It was Carl who was speaking, and he felt quite helpless as he watched these gossips become more and more intense recently.

Although Joseph was very contemptuous of Uma, he did not lose his mind. He thought about it carefully, "The best way to deal with the hype is to ignore it. She is the only one jumping up and down there. It is her choice to become a clown. As for us, keeping silent is the best response, because any response will become a catalyst for hyped news, and only if we ignore it, these hyped news will dissipate in a few days. It’s just…” Joseph is not sure Looking at Hugo, he wondered if Hugo wanted to respond to Uma in the media.

A slap does not make a sound, in fact, this is the best way to deal with hype.

Hugo immediately nodded as a matter of course, "I have no problem." Regarding his private life, Hugo never broke the news for the media to hype, and used it as a small talk for people after dinner. The reporter asked him during the "Sleepless in Seattle" crew, He didn't break the news, that's why it's still the case.
