"So you're saying that the news media nowadays interpret the news from their perspective and abandon the authenticity of the news for economic gain?" Brad didn't want to be defeated, he still tried hard to fight Hugo, although he was not aggressive, but the awe-inspiring righteousness burst out in his eyes, making Brad's unruly appearance look like a messenger of justice at this time.

Hugo felt the breath of Brad's head-to-head confrontation, he couldn't help but restrain his smile, his eyes stared at Brad motionlessly, and he didn't back down, "Yes! Hugo did not deliberately raise his voice, but his words were categorical and loud, although Hugo's expression did not have a sense of righteousness and awe, but the confidence and firmness that emanated from his bones were clearly conveyed through his voice.

"I think you and I are well aware that a news report 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, each media outlet will have its own criteria for selecting facts, which is what makes major media outlets different. "Although Hugo is not a professional, but the Internet news in the 21st century is highly developed, as an ordinary person has his own understanding of these, Hugo is no exception.

"From the perspective of journalism theory, it is true that objectivity and truthfulness are the core of any media outlet, but you ignore that in a highly commercial society, even the media must take into account the market-oriented tendency, which will inevitably affect their criteria for choosing facts." Hugo's words echoed in Brad's ears again and again like a distant bell, "In order to increase ratings and defeat opponents in the fierce competition, the media has 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 and retort, but Hugo didn't give him a chance, and the compelling eyes forcibly suppressed Brad, so that his words were always stuck in his throat and couldn't be said at all, and his brain was forced to follow Hugo's thoughts, and he couldn't find a gap to run his thoughts. Obviously, Hugo didn't raise his voice, and obviously Hugo didn't shoot the case, but this kind of intimidating momentum made Brad unable to make an effective counterattack. It's a terrible feeling!

"A lot of times, it's not the content of the news, it's not the consequences of the news, it's just the sensational holiday news that wins readers and viewers. Isn't that how the headlines come from? At this moment, there are no other people's voices at the table, including Martin, whose aura has always been very strong, is also silent at this time, and Hugo is alone with his warm but firm voice expounding his views and impacting everyone's thoughts, "Take the Rodney King incident as an example, police. Cha beating up a parole offender who resisted arrest is not great news, and white police officers. Chacha brutally beats an innocent black man for no reason, and that's what makes headlines. ”

"Actually, from the standpoint of KTLA TV, they just chose the news facts according to their own situation, and they didn't expect the consequences of the matter to be so strict, or rather, the four white policemen. Compared to the prospect of the television station, they chose the television station. The choice of interests is as simple as that. Hugo's words make people feel cold all over, even the people living in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry still feel that their lives are in danger, they seem to be being played by the media. Like a grasshopper between the palms, it is powerless to resist.

"But......" Brad finally found his voice, squeezing a word out of his dry throat, but it was completely devoid of the justice just now, more like a dying struggle, "but what about the truth of the news?" What about the ethics of the media? ”

"Real? Didn't KTLA TV report the truth? No, they did report the facts, because the video is the truth, and they just chose to report this part of the truth, but ignored the cause of this part of the truth. That's all. "A lot of times, the media doesn't necessarily distort the facts, they just make a choice based on their own interests, choose a perspective to report the facts.

In the Rodney King case, the media chose its own interests, sacrificed four white police officers, provoked racial strife, and even shielded Rodney King as a criminal, which made the TV's behavior even more unforgivable. However, this is the social reality, such a cruel and cold social reality.

This time, Brad could no longer speak, and sat down in his chair with a dejected expression, although his back was still straight, but the justice between his eyebrows had dissipated.

Rob looked at Brad and Hugo in front of him, Brad was even stronger, occupying the moral high ground and constantly pressuring Hugo; Hugo, on the other hand, was calm and calm, unhurriedly counterattacking with the facts in his hands, even in the face of Brad's pressing step by step.

The current controversy has little impact on the Rodney King affair, because none of them are the top figures in the Hollywood pyramid and cannot be called so-called opinion leaders. People speak lightly. But this reminded Rob of the court debate in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", and the actor of the movie, Daniel, also needs to face all kinds of difficulties, find out the reality by looking back at the cocoon, 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. Although Brad was inferior in the debate just now, it did not affect Brad's unyielding attitude in the course of the debate; And Hugo's table xiàn is eye-catching, with clear thinking, clear organization, full of confidence, and strong momentum, and almost several other old fritters present are firmly shocked. The two men have their own temperaments, but there is no problem if you want to replace Tom Cruise as Daniel.

Rob originally just mentioned the Rodney King affair to see how Brad and Hugo felt when they expressed their personal opinions, but he didn't expect it to spark a debate and achieve unexpected results. But looking at Brad's frustrated appearance, Rob knew that things should not be overdone, after all, they were not lawyers or juries, so there was no need to dwell too much on this matter.

Seeing Martin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Rob knew that Martin, who was used to taking the initiative, was going to solve the siege, but Rob stopped Martin with his eyes, he didn't want his agent to interfere too much in today's audition, which would affect his correct judgment of the actor, "Brad, why do you want to star in this work?" ”

This is also the official question at the audition, almost every actor prepares, Hugo also conceives his own answer in his head, but he gives up immediately, who knows if Rob will ask him the same question next, he is better off not making a preset answer, or it is more appropriate to improvise.

"As Martin said, I've always loved your work, and when I found out that this was your film, I was so impressed that I wanted to win an audition." Brad is really a strong man, he quickly recovered from the blow just now, temporarily suppressed his inner thoughts about the Rodney King incident, and cheered up and returned to the audition, "I believe that it will be a very rare experience to be able to work with you on a work." ”

Brad's answer was decent, or he complimented Rob, and he could feel that there should be Martin's shadow in it, after all, as a senior agent, Martin's pulse grasp of the industry should not be underestimated. In contrast, Joseph did not explain anything to Hugo, and completely let Hugo play freely.

Rob couldn't help but smile when he heard Brad's words, "I'm really stressed, and I've been worried about it before I made this movie. ”

Rob and Brad were there to go back and forth and talk happily, and Hugo was naturally left out in the cold. However, Hugo is not in a hurry, he has a large amount of time just now, and now he has to be unforgiving, there is no need, anyway, Rob must have his own calculations in his heart.

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 problem has changed slightly.

Hugo was originally destroying his last chicken wing, and he hesitated whether he should put the chicken wing down or continue to eat it, but he was stunned for a moment, but this action looked in Rob's eyes, but he couldn't help laughing. Hugo was a little embarrassed to put down the fork with the chicken wings piercing, "I thought, I don't have any expectations, I just need a job, so I'm going to audition." ”

Hugo's honest answer was unexpected, and not only Rob, but even Joseph looked at him in surprise, not to mention Brad and Martin. Hugo knows that the competitors he has to face today are not only Brad, but also Tom who did not attend, in terms of seniority, popularity, box office, and word-of-mouth, and now Hugo has no chance of winning at all, so instead of intriguing and calculating there, it is better to be honest and honest, but to win a glimmer of life.

"To be honest, I only got the audition call this afternoon, I don't have any idea about the script or the movie, I don't know anything about the film other than the name of the movie." This is the truth, although Hugo despised himself in his heart: obviously you know everything about the movie, but on the surface Hugo still continues to say it quietly.

"Of course, it's not so easy to get a job offer in my current situation," Hugo's self-deprecating words came out, which immediately made Rob and Martin smile, making Brad glare at Martin very dissatisfied, expressing his dissatisfaction with Martin's willingness to cheer for Hugo, and Hugo was not affected, or continued, "Moreover, to be able to work with Jack, to be able to work with Rob, I think, I have nothing to find fault with, right?" So, I showed up, waiting for you, Rob, to find fault with me. ”

This last sincere sentence made Rob not hold back for a moment, and finally chuckled out loud.
