Chapter 64 064

"So you mean that the current news media use their perspective to interpret news and discard the authenticity of news for economic benefit?" Brad was not willing to lose, he was still working hard with Hugo. Confrontation, although he was not aggressive, his awe-inspiring righteousness burst out in his eyes, making Brad's bohemian appearance look a bit like a messenger of justice at this time.

Hugo felt the breath of Brad's confrontation, he couldn't help but restrain his smile, his eyes stared at Brad without moving, without giving in, "Yes!" Hugo did not deliberately raise his voice, But the words were decisive and loud. Although Hugo's expression did not feel righteous and awe-inspiring, the confidence and firmness emanating from his bones were clearly conveyed through his voice.

"I think you and I know very well that news reporting can't actually include all the details of the truth, it can only be close to the truth, or it can only be a selective fact. In the process of news reporting, every media will They have their own criteria for choosing facts, which is what makes the major media different." Although Hugo is not a professional, but the highly developed Internet news in the 21st century, as an ordinary person, he has his own understanding of these. Fruit is no exception.

"From the perspective of news theory, it is true that objectivity and authenticity are the core that any media should adhere to, but you have overlooked that in a highly commercialized society, even the media must take into account the tendency of marketization. It will inevitably affect their criteria for choosing facts." Hugo's words were like a distant bell, reverberating in Brad's ears again and again, "In order to increase the ratings, in order to defeat the opponent in the fierce competition , the media have to pay attention to the excitement and drama of the news, and report in detail and exaggerate some news with so-called 'market value'."

Brad wanted to interject to refute, but Hugo didn't give him a chance. Those pressing eyes forcibly suppressed Brad, making his words always stuck in his throat, unable to speak at all, and his brain He was forced to follow Hugo's thoughts, and he couldn't find a space to run his thoughts at all. Obviously Hugo didn't increase his voice, obviously Hugo didn't stand up, but this kind of intimidating momentum made Brad unable to make an effective counterattack. This feeling is really bad!

"A lot of times, the content of the news is not important, and the consequences of the news are not important. It is only the most important thing to win readers and audiences with sensational holiday news. Isn't that how the headlines come from?" The voices of other people could no longer be found on the Internet, including Martin, who had always been very powerful. At this time, he also fell silent. Only Hugo used his warm but firm voice to expound his views, impacting everyone. People's minds," in the case of Rodney-King, the cop beating a parole criminal who resisted arrest is not great news, and the white cop's brutal beating of an innocent black man for no reason is what makes the top news ."

"Actually, from the standpoint of KTLA TV station, they just chose the news facts based on their own situation, and they did not expect the consequences of the matter to be so serious, or, in other words, the fate of the four white police officers. Compared with the prospects, they chose the TV station. The choice of interests is so simple." Hugo's words made people feel cold, even people living in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry still felt that their lives were in jeopardy. It was as if they were being played by the media. Like a grasshopper caught between his palms, he couldn't resist at all.

"But..." Brad finally found his own voice and squeezed out a word from his dry throat, but he lost the just awe-inspiring just now, more like a dying struggle, "But, what about the truth of the news? That What about the ethics of the media?"

"Real? Didn't KTLA TV report the truth? No, they did report the truth, because all the truth in the video, they just chose to report this part of the truth, but ignored the cause of this part of the truth. That's all. "Many times, the media does not necessarily distort the facts, they just make choices based on their own interests and choose an angle to report the facts.

In the Rodney King incident, the media chose their own interests, sacrificed four white police officers, provoked racial disputes, and even covered up the criminal Rodney King, which made the The TV station's behavior is even more unforgivable. However, this is the social reality, such a cruel and cold social reality.

This time, Brad was speechless and sat on the chair with a dejected face. Although his back was still straight, the justice between his eyebrows had dissipated.

Rob watched Brad and Hugo in front of him tit-for-tat, Brad was more powerful, occupying the commanding heights of morality and constantly putting pressure on Hugo; while Hugo was calm and calm, taking the facts in his hands unhurriedly. Counterattack, even in the face of Brad's pressing step by step, he did not lose his balance.

The current debate has little impact on the Rodney King incident, because they are not the top figures in the Hollywood pyramid, and they cannot be called public opinion leaders at all. People are soft-spoken. But this made Rob think of the court debate in "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness". The hero of the movie, Daniel, also needs to face all kinds of difficulties, find out the reality, bravely resist the established facts, and finally achieve true justice .

In fact, strictly speaking, Brad and Hugo are good choices to play Daniel, otherwise Rob would not have arranged the audition. In the debate just now, although Brad was at a disadvantage, it did not affect Brad's unyielding attitude during the debate; and Hugo's performance was eye-catching, with clear thinking, organized, With full confidence and strong momentum, it almost shocked the other old fried dough sticks present. The temperament of the two people is different, but if you want to replace Tom Cruise as Daniel, there is no problem.

Rob originally only mentioned the Rodney-King incident and wanted to see how Brad and Hugo felt when they expressed their personal opinions, but he did not expect it to trigger a debate and achieve unexpected results. But looking at Brad's frustrated look, Rob knew that things shouldn't go too far, after all, they're not lawyers or jurors, so they don't need to be too entangled in this matter.

Seeing Martin's speechless appearance, Rob knew that Martin, who was accustomed to taking the initiative, was planning to make a clearance, but Rob stopped Martin with his eyes. He didn't want the agent to interfere too much in today's audition, which would affect His correct judgment on the actor, "Brad, why do you want to be in this work?"

This is also an official question during the audition. Almost every actor will prepare, and Hugo is also thinking of his own answer in his mind, but he immediately gave up. Who knows if Rob will ask him the same question next , he had better not make a preset answer, it is more appropriate to adapt accordingly.

"As Martin just said, I have always loved your work. When I learned that this was your film, I was very yearning. I was even more flattered to win the chance to audition." Brad really is A strong man, he quickly recovered from the blow just now, temporarily suppressed his thoughts about the Rodney King incident, and returned to the audition with energy, "I believe that I can work with you. It can be a rare experience to collaborate on a production.”

Brad's answer was quite satisfactory, but he still complimented Rob. You can feel that there should be Martin's shadow in it. After all, as a senior agent, Martin's grasp of the pulse of the industry should not be underestimated. In contrast, Joseph did not explain anything to Hugo, and just let Hugo play freely.

When Rob heard Brad's words, he couldn't help but smile, "I'm very stressed. I've been worried before shooting this movie."

Rob and Brad were there, chatting happily, and Hugo was naturally left out. However, Hugo is not in a hurry. He had a lot of performance time just now, and now it's not necessary. Rob must have his own plans anyway.

Sure enough, after about three minutes or so, Rob asked seemingly casually, "Hugo, what about you? Do you have any expectations for this film?" The question changed slightly.

Hugo was originally destroying his last chicken wing. He hesitated whether he should put the chicken wing down or continue to eat it, but he was stunned for a moment. Seeing this action in Rob's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh. Hugo put down the fork that was stabbing the chicken wings in embarrassment. "I thought, I don't have any expectations. I just need a job, so I came to the audition."

Hugo's honest answer was unexpected, not only Rob, but even Joseph looked over in surprise, not to mention Brad and Martin. Hugo knew that the competitors he had to face today were not only Brad, but also Tom, who was not present. In terms of qualifications, popularity, box office, works, and word of mouth, Hugo now has no chance of winning, so instead of There, it is better to be honest and face-to-face with intrigue, but to win a chance of survival.

"To be honest, I only received the audition call this afternoon. I have no idea about the script and the movie. I don't know anything about the movie except the name of the movie." This is the truth, although Hugo despised it in his heart. Take a moment to yourself: You know all about the movie, but Hugo continues to talk about it calmly on the surface.

"Of course, it's not so easy for me to have a job opportunity in my current situation," Hugo said with self-deprecating words, which immediately made Rob and Martin smile, and Brad glared at Martin in dissatisfaction. At one glance, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Martin's willingness to support Hugo, but Hugo was not affected, and continued to say, "Also, being able to work with Jack and Rob, I think, I have nothing to be picky about. Right? So, I showed up, waiting for Rob to pick on me."

This last sincere sentence made Rob unable to hold back, and after all, he laughed lightly.
