Since Joseph Gibbs was in the hospital, he knew the ins and outs of the matter before the news media reported it, so he immediately contacted Nicholas McLaen, who had not arrived at the scene, and communicated with James Rattle to ensure that the truth of the matter could be announced in a timely manner, and to form a confrontation with those media with malicious intentions.

In fact, this is the difference between the agent's ability to rise, and the space for the agent to exert his strength has also been expanded after the expansion of his network, which also allows Joseph to control the situation in his own hands as much as possible.

The next day, after the negative news of the "New York Post", "National Inquirer" and "Chicago Tribune" came out, Joseph had already contacted and arranged for "American Weekly" and "Los Angeles Times" to launch a counterattack, and what was even more unexpected was that the "New York Times" also came to help, so that the whole situation was completely under control within the predictable range.

At the same time, Joseph also gave an interview to the "American Weekly", hoping to respond directly to the negative news.

In the interview, Joseph said, "No matter what the media thinks about the 'speed of life and death', it doesn't matter to Hugo, he is now fully engaged in the filming of Yeying, he is very happy to enjoy the filming process." ”

It can be seen from Joseph's calm smile that Hugo has a very strong confidence in the "speed of life and death", which is also the most positive response Hugo has given since the "speed of life and death" controversy appeared, and it also makes people have more opinions about the future of Yeying.

Immediately afterwards, Joseph also issued a strong counterattack on the hospital incident, "I know that this is the status quo of Hollywood, and every move of an artist living under the spotlight will become the target of the paparazzi, but to be honest, I didn't expect the paparazzi to cross that moral bottom line, aside from other circumstances, if Hugo entered the hospital today and was really seriously injured, then the behavior of these paparazzi is likely to delay the treatment of the hospital, which is absolutely not allowed." ”

"And when the paparazzi disturbed the health of the patients in the hospital, Hugo tried to control the situation, but was misunderstood, which is even more a sign of unprofessional ethics." Joseph's words do not hide much, pointing directly to the immoral behavior of those journalists who disrupted the order of the hospital, "Hugo is very indignant at the behavior of these paparazzi, and here, on behalf of Hugo, I would like to make an official statement to refuse interviews in the form of the New York Post and the National Enquirer during the next 'Life and Death' propaganda period." ”

Joseph's toughness really surprised many people, not only because of his strong counterattack, but also because he directly named the parties "New York Post" and "National Inquirer", which is tantamount to directly establishing an enemy.

In fact, according to general practice, agents are reluctant to offend the media, even if the artist himself and the media have a quarrel, but the agent will focus on persuasion, after all, only by having a good relationship with the media can he deal with the artist, even if there is negative news, the agent has enough room to redeem it. To put it simply, agents have to be bad guys and good guys, so they can't talk to death.

However, the situation of the "New York Post" and "National Inquirer" is a bit special, these two media have been involved with Hugo in the previous witch trials, and it can be seen from the current situation that they and Hugo are quite in a situation of endless death. So, even if Joseph offered to show affection, it would not help; After thinking about it like this, Joseph also decided that it would be better to open the skylight and say something bright, directly highlight the relationship, and see how the situation will develop after hitting the hard.

But now Joseph is also much smarter than before, although he has made all the problems clear, but he also has room to "do not accept ......interviews during the propaganda period of life and death", which puts Joseph in a favorable position, attacking and retreating. Looking at the attitudes of the "New York Post" and the "National Inquirer" next, Joseph has no problem whether he wants to soften and build a good relationship, or continue to be tough and form a confrontation. In other words, whatever Hugo said, Joseph could make amends.

Joseph's tough response in an interview pushed the controversy over the hospital incident to the pinnacle, and also made people see Hugo's absolutely uncompromising position, which also made the "New York Post" and "National Inquirer" immediately fall into a bad situation of not being a person inside and out.

Not only Joseph, but then Henry Bloom in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, conveyed the same message.

Although Henry was not in the hospital that day and did not witness the whole process, both Samora and Joseph conveyed the situation to Henry as soon as possible. Originally, Henry thought that there was nothing to do with him, because these problems were caused by the "speed of life and death", so it was enough to leave it to Joseph to deal with.

But unexpectedly, the "Chicago Tribune" actually brought the topic directly to the Grammys, and Henry was prepared for a long time, and immediately accepted an interview and responded to those negative remarks from the position of an agent.

Unlike Joseph, Henry did not take the initiative to mention the hospital incident, nor did he take the initiative to mention that "the speed of life and death" was more for the Grammys, and played his professional role, "Glory to death expressed gratitude for the Grammys' nomination, but the band members had said before that they didn't think the nomination was a correct affirmation of them, so they wouldn't attend the awards ceremony, and they didn't care about the final award." ”

Henry was always lazy and casual in interviews, and his speech was not too aggressive, as if he was just chatting, "To be honest, if it wasn't for this incident, I would have forgotten to confirm the Grammy list." This is obviously talking nonsense, even if it is not for glory to the death, Henry will definitely routinely confirm the list of winners, because this is his job, but when interviewed by reporters, Henry said so, and reporters have no way to refute it.

"I don't think the band cares too much about the Grammys, of course, the best newcomer of the year only has one chance, but the band of Glory to Death is also the only one that exists, they will not lose their charm because they don't get this award, and they won't become classics because they get this award, as Hugo has always said, the reason why Glory to Death is Glory to Death is because they have always persevered. I think that's the attitude of the band. ”

Henry has been unhurried in the interview, and his words are not too intense, but the whole attitude is very clear, and this strong style also bears a strong Henry brand, "As for the media that have not interviewed the band members and just made their statements, I don't know how their opinions came from, I have some doubts about the way the media works now, can they say that they know more about the situation than the parties involved?" Or is it just speculation that news stories can be done? I don't understand it, so I don't respond positively to those remarks. ”

Hearing Henry's remarks, Nicholas, who was interviewing, couldn't help but roll his eyes, if he didn't want to respond positively, then what were those sprinkling responses just now, was it really just small talk?

In fact, although Henry's interview was not as strong as Joseph's, his attitude was even more intriguing -- because he directly ignored the "Chicago Tribune," but Henry's counterattack and ridicule did not show weakness at all, and it was full of force, so that the "Chicago Tribune" had no way to fight back even if it wanted to, and in the end it could only suffer a dumb loss.

In the end, Henry also briefly expressed his opinion on the hospital incident, but he did not make a long speech, but only mentioned two sentences in a meandering pool, "Hugo is a very gentle person, and the media has been playing up the impression of his sharp personality, but in fact, it is not easy to anger Hugo, I heard the news that he was angry in the hospital, I think, those reporters may really provoke him." ”

Henry's response is very intriguing, he didn't even mention the hospital incident directly, but only discussed Hugo's character, which seemed to be a satire on the reporter deliberately provoking Hugo, and then creating a news topic again, he didn't even accuse the reporter, but this remark is intriguing enough, presumably the next reporters who provoked in the hospital will soon become the target of public criticism, once again triggering endless discussions.

Although Joseph and Henry have different ways of dealing with things, and the form is also different, but the final effect is the same, the two of them not only hit back at the "New York Post", "National Inquirer", "Chicago Tribune", but also triggered a more far-reaching discussion, and it is estimated that these media will take care of themselves for a period of time, and there is no way to trouble Hugo again

In this way, both Joseph and Henry's purpose was achieved. This is the best they can do within the scope of their agent's responsibilities, of course, this can only be said to be an appetizer, and the power of the media is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is only then that Joseph's arrangement begins to exert its power.

When the incident began to escalate step by step, the major media began to appear and took the initiative to stand behind Hugo and defend Hugo, especially the two major newspapers "Los Angeles Times and New York Times" joined the battle, which undoubtedly made the balance of power begin to change quietly, and the whole thing further developed in Hugo's favor.

At the same time, it also pushed the regret of glory to death and the attention of "life and death" to a new level, which is a result that no one expected.
