Chapter 1173 - Big Names Mighty

Hugo was absent from the entire press conference and never showed up. Almost all the attention of reporters shifted to this matter: Was Hugo really sick or playing a big game? If it's the latter, then what's really going on inside the crew? Could it be that Hugo and Brad really fought! So, Hugo refused to attend the press conference, but Brad stole the show at the press conference, who should be counted as who loses and who wins?

The fire of gossip of journalists is blazing!

After the press conference, almost all the reporters surrounded Gianni, Brad, David and others in a solid attempt to find out the truth.

In fact, most reporters don't believe that Hugo will play big names, which is the influence of the Matthew effect. Since the Golden Raspberry Award, everyone has habitually questioned Hugo; Up to now, everyone is accustomed to being optimistic about Hugo, and this transformation 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 known for his humble and dedicated image, and many behind-the-scenes staff in the circle are full of praise for Hugo. This kind of word-of-mouth is not the public relations effect of the brokerage company, and with one or two news reports, you can advocate a "high" image, insiders

Nicholas hesitated for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then found Samora, who had just returned from the bathroom. Nicholas couldn't help but rejoice that he blocked Samora, not Joseph, who was an agent before, and was slippery and scheming, and it was not easy to trick Joseph's words. But Samora is different.

"Samora, I mean really, is Hugo really okay?" Nicholas had a concerned expression, but Samora was a little hesitant, her expression was obviously a little struggling, and Nicholas immediately caught this anomaly, "Hugo is okay!" Right, Hugo is fine! Nicholas said this in an affirmative tone.

Samora reacted, "Hugo is resting now, and he still needs to observe and observe." The implication in the words is that Hugo was really uncomfortable just now, but now he is getting better.

But Nicholas didn't believe it, could it be that Hugo really played a big name? If someone said this, Nicholas would not believe it first, and he was not the first day he knew Hugo. But is there a better explanation for this? Could it be that Hugo was really fascinated by the successes one after another? No, certainly not......

"I'll bring your greetings to Hugo, I'll go first." Samora almost fled, and Nicholas tried to reach out and grab Samora, but he flew into the air, and then saw Samora running away in a puff of smoke.

"It's greasy!" Nicholas was sure.

Gianni and David, who had finally escaped the entanglement of reporters, looked wolf-like, but compared to Brad, the two of them were already lucky. Brad's clothes were soaked with sweat and looked like they had been fished out of the water, and although the weather was getting warmer now in April, it was still too exaggerated.

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

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

David Fincher stood in place, also with an obscure expression, "I don't know, I can't answer such a question." But I know that Hugo's Qiē is all for our crew, and this is also the best way to think of it at present. Since Hugo himself doesn't care, we don't have to worry. ”

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

David pulled his lips and smiled, "At the beginning, there were rumors of Hugo's alcoholism in 'Schindler's List', which was actually Hugo's contribution in order to enter the role. So, we shouldn't be surprised, should we? In fact, since the first conversation between the two of them that night, David was impressed with Hugo. Therefore, Hugo's decision today is not surprising to David at all.

Is Hugo really playing big names? Yes and no. As Nicholas thought, there's something wrong with that.

When it comes to the entire crew of "Seven Deadly Sins", who is the first thing that comes to people's minds? 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 be exposed to the flash of the media, which is not a good thing for a suspenseful, terrifying, and thriller work.

But Hugo starred in Anonymous, the culprit of the "Seven Deadly Sins", and it is also the biggest highlight of the whole movie. If people knew in advance that Hugo was playing a serial killer, it would undoubtedly reduce the suspense and charm of the movie; Similarly, if people guess that Hugo is a serial killer, it means that no matter how hard director David Fincher tries, the thriller atmosphere he created for the film will fall short. What does this mean for the "Seven Deadly Sins"? It means failure!

This is something that everyone ignores, including Rick, including Hugo himself. In the end, it was Joseph who inadvertently mentioned, "Hugo, shouldn't the identity of Anonymous be a secret?" This made Hugo suddenly wake up.

Kevin Spacey, the actor of the original Anonymous, had a bad reputation when he starred in "The Seven Deadly Sins", but even then he deliberately concealed his identity and played a game of hide and seek with the audience. Now that Hugo is replaced, he should be even more so.

Hugo soon realized that if he attended a press conference, reporters would be focused on asking about his role. Of course, Hugo can rely on his eloquence to divert the subject and draw attention to his showdown with Brad. But this is a palliative rather than a cure. Not to mention whether the reporter can be fooled at the press conference, the whole filming period of the "Seven Deadly Sins" will inevitably face this problem.

After careful consideration, Hugo decided to "play a big name" and be absent from the press conference, including the subsequent filming period, which completely disappeared from the eyes of reporters.

This is not just an absence from a press conference, when Hugo does not appear at the press conference, the focus of others 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 divert the target, such as "Hugo's role is very important" Such polite words, which may not be powerful in normal times, but in Hugo's absence, the reporter will obviously understand that "Since Hugo is so important, He was still absent from the press conference", and the focus could easily have shifted.

Hugo knew the reporters very well, and he knew that this group of reporters would definitely not want to miss this breaking point, and even if someone noticed the abnormality, they would not give up.

As a result, reporters will be focused on this matter for a long time, and as long as Hugo continues to cooperate with the performance, for example, refusing to interview reporters as a matter of course, then it will obviously be difficult for reporters to divert their attention. When reporters were once again curious about how important Hugo's role in the "Seven Deadly Sins" was, it was estimated that the movie had already been completed, and they could only wait for the movie to be released before confirming.

To put it simply, it is to sacrifice Hugo alone and focus the firepower on a sensitive topic, thus blurring the original focus. This kind of thing is actually what reporters are best at, every time the opening ceremony and press conference of a new work, the crew hopes that reporters will pay more attention to the work itself, but reporters always focus on lace news and gossip scandals to shift the focus. 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, including the screenwriter Andrew, everyone has forgotten about this matter: it is really not too wise to let a famous person like Hugo play Anonymous. But then again, in addition to the "tiring fame and popularity", Hugo is indeed the best choice.

So, Hugo said, "since it's a burden of fame, let it play a little role, or at least make it a substitute for diverting the target." ”

Both David and Gianni know that sacrificing their reputation for the sake of the crew is not an easy task.

So there was a strange scene at the press conference, where David and Gianni were always secretive about Hugo's role; If you go a little further, Hugo has been silent when he communicated with Nicholas, James and others before. Until now, no one understands: what kind of role Hugo joined the "Seven Deadly Sins" for! Significant? And how important is it? What is the value of the 10 million salary?

It's a pity that no one wants to explore this now, and the real sensation is the incident of Hugo playing a big name compared to a "small, insignificant" character. If you think about the previous "New York Post" worries about the decline of Hugo's career, it is not difficult to sketch such a picture: Hugo also noticed that his career was declining, which made him mentally unbalanced and unacceptable, so he broke the jar and took over the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins", and even played a big name in the crew, maybe the "Hudson's Eagle"-style collapse is really going to be repeated!

In an instant, all the reporters were fried, and after the press conference, they walked to the crew, trying to explore Hugo's "illness" and try to sketch an accurate picture. But the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins" took the lead: closed the crew and fully entered closed filming.

This move of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew just proves the speculation of reporters, and the crew is really covering up for Hugo. It seems that Hugo, who has been rising step by step for three years, is finally going 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.
