Chapter 703 703 Prestige Steps

As one of the most influential newspapers in the United States, the New York Times is obviously more in line with the orientation of ordinary people. They reported on this incident as "rebellious scum or hero with personality".

"Hugo Lancaster righteously refused the reporter's interview in the hospital, and even used sharp words to have a violent conflict with the reporter, which detonated this offensive and defensive battle between the media and Lancaster. , so is he a rebellious scum or a personality hero? Obviously, different media and different audiences will have different answers to this question.”

It can be seen from the frontispiece that the "New York Times" intends to conduct a comprehensive analysis this time, and the same is true. They used an entire page to make a special feature and analyze and report the entire incident. Such treatment is definitely a Hugo For the first time in his acting career, we can also see the firm determination of the "New York Times" to maintain Hugo.

"Looking back at Lancaster's behavior before 1992, there are dazzling moments, such as the down-to-earth and outstanding talent before the Dead Poets Society, such as the BA in Classics from Yale University; there are also embarrassing moments. Moments, such as drag racing resulting in a car accident and hospitalization, such as alcoholism and addiction. Drug problems emerged one after another, especially in 1991, everyone witnessed the fall of Lancaster, just like River Phoenix, James Dean With a stunned departure, people almost think that another genius is about to fall like a meteor.

This is why people still lack confidence in Lancaster.

However, looking back on Lancaster's behavior in the past two years, it is full of moments of firm belief, the film career is climbing, and the drug is far away. The poisoning of wine and alcohol, leading the band to glory to the death, justice, gentleness, sunshine, gentleman's words and deeds... All of them are undoubtedly huge changes, and we have witnessed Lancaster's journey to glory with our own eyes.

But in Lancaster's bones, he always carries his own personality. To interpret it with a negative point of view is unruly; but to explain it with a positive point of view, it is self-persistence, which belongs to Lancaster. The true appearance is principled, not easily compromised, young and imposing, but not aggressive, sharp, or irritable.

From the thunderous blow of the 'Witch Trials' in the Michael Jackson incident, to the steady stream of positive energy in the Glory to the Dead music; from the desperate performance of 'Schindler's List' to the Grammy Awards In the eyes of the mainstream, Hugo's personality is rebellious, but in the long history of history, it is the truth.

The same is true for this time. When Lancaster was injured and entered the hospital for examination, he did not lose control because of the destruction of his privacy by reporters. You must know that he had just experienced an uncontrolled explosion, and he was still not completely Life was ruled out; but he was furious at the potential harassment of patients by the reporter's noise, even going so far as to confront all the reporters.

In the face of Lancaster like this, what can the news media do? Slandering him, smearing him, shifting focus, shifting anger... This is undoubtedly another moment of shame for the news media, maybe not as bad as the witch trials, but more terrible than the witch trials, because the media is losing its own principles step by step, they Losing his principles for the sake of profit is in stark contrast to Lancaster's consistent insistence.

Whether Lancaster is a rebellious scum or a hero with personality, everyone should have their own answer, not to listen to the media's remarks at will, but to use their own eyes to make correct judgments! "

Although the "New York Times" did not give a direct answer in the report, there is no doubt that they are using this method to push Hugo's popularity to a whole new level.

Since the public has always lacked confidence in Hugo, every time there is negative news, there will be a hint of "relapse" in people's minds; then the "New York Times" will be eradicated at one time this time, it will make people truly realize that the past two Hugo's change over the years, and more importantly, Hugo now has an important influence on the entire society as a public opinion leader.

The New York Times' argument is supported by huge arguments. Especially since the end of last year, every confrontation between Hugo and reporters is so clear that everyone can see it, so it is not so difficult for the public to make a choice. .

Of course, maybe this time the hospital incident is not direct and powerful enough, and there is no way to do it in one step, but the "New York Times" has already laid the groundwork. As long as there is another catalyst, Hugo's public image will be truly reversed and a bright future will occur. Just look forward to it.

The Los Angeles Times and the New York Times are worthy of being one of the most influential media in the United States at present, and both sides have some similar ideas. The idea of ​​the "New York Times" actually started before the "Los Angeles Times". Nicholas McClen's article on whether the box office of "Life and Death" can break through $100 million is a signal, which means that the "Los Angeles Times" is also working hard To reverse Hugo's negative image in the public and in the media.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. Hugo’s accumulation in the past two years has already gained enough weight. Now the “Los Angeles Times” and “New York Times” are further promoting the quantitative change, hoping that when the catalyst arrives, the qualitative change can be completed in one breath.

This time, the "Los Angeles Times" did not pay attention to the perspective of the "New York Times". They focused on the Grammys and reported it as an entry point.

"To Die Glory missed the only chance in my life, the only chance to win the Grammy's Rookie of the Year, but this is not the regret of Die Glory, but the regret of the Grammys, as if the Grammys missed it Like Nirvana, this time the Grammys are missing out on glory to death. Apparently, the Grammys are foolishly missing out on the whole rock-and-roll revolution.

Standing at the height of history, this is bound to become the most fatal flaw in the long history of Grammys: when people recall the classic era of the revival of rock and roll in the 1990s, people will find that in the trend of full-scale revival of rock and roll. , there is no place that belongs to the Grammys. This is a loss for Grammys, who prides itself on being the most authoritative music awards show in the world.

There is no need to regret to die with glory, and they will not regret it. From the moment they refuse to attend the award ceremony, the 36th Grammy has nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter whether they are nominated or not, whether they win the award or not does not matter. It didn't matter, it was never on the list of itineraries to die for.

So, Hugo Lancaster doesn't lose his rhythm for a small Rookie of the Year award, he doesn't even get mad at an explosion accident, but he reprimands the reporters for the noise , this is the real Lancaster: he hates journalists.

This is not a difficult subject, and if you think back to how the reporters treated Hugo, you can see that these treatments were brought about by the reporters themselves. Let's not talk about it, just talking about this incident, when the reporters lost their sense of proportion because they were eager to interview Hugo, which led to chaos in the hospital, they chose to shirk the responsibility on Hugo, without even mentioning the reason for Hugo. Those who entered the hospital did not mention how much noise they made in the hospital, nor did they mention Hugo's concession and tolerance, but only mentioned Hugo's bad temper.

In the face of such reporters, Hugo had a hard time smiling. In this way, Hugo does have a bad temper.

When everyone was questioning Hugo's temper, no one noticed that Hugo was injured and admitted to the hospital for the movie; People noticed that Hugo was putting his heart and soul into the film and only hoped to give a better work; when everyone was discussing how bad and unworthy of Hugo's new work, no one noticed Hugo How much effort has been put into this movie, and the entire crew is working hard to make a work.

Even if "Life and Death" is a bad movie, we should pay tribute to the hard working crew, it is their hard work, even if we curse it, we hate it, we despise it, but we can't ignore it. This is not only the attention that the film industry needs to get, but also the attention that every job in society should get.

What's more, we have no way to predict the quality of the finished product of "Speed ​​of Life and Death", because we are not producers, directors, nor actors. We can only wait and make judgments after the movie is released. As for the box office of the movie, it will be handed over to the North American market to hand over the answer sheet. "

The "Los Angeles Times" report is still from Nicholas. You can see his consistent style, unique perspective, and then see the big from the small. He interprets the entire hospital incident from a new angle, and then directly refutes it. The absurd remarks of the "Chicago Tribune", and then the "New York Post" and "National Enquirer" were despised.

From this point of view, the "Los Angeles Times" is indeed higher than the "U.S. Weekly", of course, Nicholas is also better than James Larter.

In addition, the "Los Angeles Times" also conducted an interview with Joseph. Under the dual role, Nicholas's report also exerted unimaginable power.

There was "U.S. Weekly" first, then "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times". There was a huge difference in the comparison of media power. This incident was quickly decided, and the dirty water of "New York Post" was still not able to reach The purpose is to make Hugo's reputation rise again this time, and the "New York Post", which has been seriously injured because of the "Witch Trial", has been hit again, which is obviously not good news for them.
