Chapter 1173： Big-name prestige

Hugo was absent from the entire press conference and never showed up. Almost all reporters' attention has shifted to this matter: Is Hugo really sick or playing a big deal? If it is the latter, what happened inside the crew? Did Hugo and Brad really fight! So, Hugo refused to attend the press conference, but Brad stole the limelight at the press conference. Who should win?

The gossip of the reporters is blazing!

After the press conference, almost all reporters surrounded Gianni, Brad, David, and others, trying to find out the truth.

In fact, most reporters don't quite believe that Hugo will play big cards. This is the influence of the Matthew Effect. After the Golden Raspberry Award, everyone has habitually questioned Hugo; until now, everyone is habitually optimistic about Hugo. This change has gradually formed a strong influence and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the past two years, Hugo has always been praised for his humble and dedicated image, and many people behind the scenes have praised Hugo. This kind of word-of-mouth is not the public relations effect of the brokerage company. With one or two news reports, you can promote a "tall" image, and people in the circle

Nicholas hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and then he found Samora who had just returned from the bathroom. Nicholas couldn't help but rejoice. He blocked Samora instead of Joseph. You must know that Joseph used to be an agent, slippery and scheming. It is not easy to follow Joseph's words. But Samora is different.

"Samora, I mean, is Hugo really okay?" Nicholas had a concerned expression, but Samora hesitated, and his expression was obviously struggling. Nicholas immediately caught this anomaly, "Rain" Is it all right! Right, Hugo is all right!" Nicholas said this in a certain tone.

Samora reacted, "Hugo is resting now, and I still need to observe and observe." What he meant was that Hugo was really uncomfortable just now, and now he is getting better.

But Nicholas didn't believe it. Did Hugo really play a big game? If someone said this, Nicholas would not believe it first, and he was not the first day he knew Hugo. But, other than that, is there a better explanation? Is Hugo really fascinated by successive successes? No, definitely not right...

"I'll bring your greetings to Hugo. I'll go first." Samora almost fled. Nicholas tried to reach out and grab Samora, but he emptied himself, and then saw Samora slipping away. gone.

"Something tricky!" Nicholas was quite sure.

After finally getting rid of the reporter's entanglement, Gianni and David looked embarrassed, but compared to Brad, the two of them were already considered lucky. Brad's clothes were soaked with sweat and looked like they were fished out of the water. Although the weather is getting warmer in April, it is still too exaggerated.

Brad hurried to change his clothes, but Gianni and David looked at each other.

"David, is this really okay?" Gianni asked with an uneasy expression on his face.

David Fincher stood in place with an obscure expression, "I don't know, I have no way to answer such a question. But I know that Hugo is all for the sake of our crew, and this is the best way to think about it. Now that Hugo doesn’t care anymore, we don’t have to worry about it."

Gianni couldn't refute, and both of them fell silent for a while. After a long time, Gianni said, "This is how I know why those in the circle who have worked with Hugo say that Hugo is dedicated."

David chuckled and smiled, "At the beginning, there were rumors of Hugo's drinking in Schindler's List. It was actually Hugo's contribution to enter the role. So, we shouldn't be surprised, shouldn't we? "Actually, since the first conversation between the two people that night, David had taken Hugo with admiration. Therefore, David is not surprised at Hugo's decision today.

Is Hugo really a big deal? Yes, it is not. As Nicholas thought, there is indeed something tricky in it.

When it comes to the entire crew of the "Seven Deadly Sins", who is the first thing people think of? Obviously Hugo, followed by Brad and Morgan. As the most influential actor today, Hugo's joining is a double-edged sword for the "seven deadly sins". He can bring endless attention to the crew, but it is also easy for the crew to be forced to expose in the media. Under the flashlight, this is not a good thing for a suspenseful, terrifying, and thrilling work.

However, Hugo played the Anonymous, the culprit of the "seven deadly sins" and the biggest highlight of the whole movie. If people know in advance that Hugo is playing a serial killer, this will undoubtedly reduce the suspense and charm of the movie; similarly, if people are allowed to guess that Hugo is a serial killer, it means that director David Fincher does not matter No matter how hard he works, the horror atmosphere he created for the movie will fall short. What does this mean for the "seven deadly sins"? Means failure!

This is ignored by everyone, including Rick, including Hugo himself. Finally, Joseph accidentally mentioned, "Hugo, shouldn't the identity of the Anonymous be a secret?" This made Hugo suddenly realize.

Kevin Spacey, the actor of the original version of Anonymous, was not well-known when he played the "Seven Deadly Sins", but even so, he deliberately concealed his identity and played hide and seek with the audience. Now that it’s Hugo, he should be even more so.

Hugo soon realized that if he attended the press conference, reporters would inevitably focus on asking about his role. Of course, Hugo can rely on his eloquence to change the subject and let people pay attention to the duel between him and Brad. But this is a temporary cure, not a permanent cure. Not to mention whether reporters have been fooled at the press conference, the entire filming period of the next "seven deadly sins" is bound to face this problem.

After careful weighing, Hugo decided to absent from the press conference, including the subsequent filming period, completely disappeared from the reporter's eyes.

This is not just the absence of a press conference. When Hugo does not appear at the press conference, the focus of other people’s attention will inevitably shift to Hugo’s absence, even if there are questions about Hugo’s role, David , Gianni and others can also use some smoke bombs to shift their targets. For example, polite words like "Hugo’s role is very important" may not be powerful in normal times, but in the absence of Hugo, the reporter will obviously Understanding that "Since Hugo is so important, he is still absent from the press conference", the focus will easily shift.

Hugo knows reporters very well. He knows that these reporters are definitely not willing to miss this hot spot. Even if someone notices the abnormality, they will not give up.

In this way, for a long period of time, the reporter will keep his sight on this matter. As long as Hugo continues to cooperate with the performance-for example, if he refuses to interview the reporter for granted, then the reporter's attention will obviously be difficult to shift. When reporters once again wondered how important Hugo's role in the "Seven Deadly Sins" is, it is estimated that the film has already been finalized, and they can only confirm it after the film is released.

To put it simply, it means sacrificing Hugo alone and focusing the firepower on a sensitive topic, thereby blurring the original focus. This kind of thing is actually what reporters are best at. Every time the launch ceremony of a new work or press conference, the crew hopes that reporters pay more attention to the work itself, but reporters always focus on lace news and gossip scandals. Shift focus. But now it's the other way around. The reporters want to explore Hugo's role in the crew, but the crew can't let them succeed.

In fact, this is the negligence of the entire crew. Everyone, including the screenwriter Andrew, has forgotten about it: It is not a wise choice to let a famous person like Hugo appear in Anonymous. But having said that, in addition to "tiring reputation and popularity," Hugo is indeed the best choice.

Therefore, Hugo said, "Since it is a burden of reputation, let this burden play a role, at least let it become a substitute for the transfer target."

Both David and Gianni know that it is not easy to sacrifice their reputation for the sake of the crew.

So there was a strange scene at the press conference. David and Gianni were always secretive about Hugo's role; if we went further, Hugo would have been silent when communicating with Nicholas, James and others. Up to now no one still understands: What kind of role Hugo is for joining the "Seven Deadly Sins"! important? How important is it? What is the value of the 10 million piece salary?

It's a pity that no one wants to explore this matter now. Compared to a "small, innocuous" character, Hugo's big-name incident is the real sensation. If you think about the previous New York Post’s worry about Hugo’s career decline, it’s not difficult to draw a picture: Hugo also noticed that his career is declining, which made him unbalanced and unacceptable, so he broke the jar. The "Seven Deadly Sins" were filmed smashingly, and they even played a big role in the crew. Perhaps the "Hudson Eagle" collapse is really going to happen again!

In an instant, the reporters were all fried, and after the press conference, they went to the crew and tried every means to explore Hugo's "condition", trying to draw an accurate picture. However, the crew of the "Seven Deadly Sins" took the lead: closed the crew and entered closed filming in an all-round way.

This action of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew just proved the reporters' speculation that the crew was really covering up for Hugo. It seems that Hugo, who has been up for three years, is finally about to fall. Why is everyone so excited?

"Hugo, is this really good?" David walked up to Hugo, looked at Hugo who was chatting with Andrew, and said worriedly.
