Chapter 1178: Sincere Friendship
“****,****,****!” Leonardo DiCaprio in "Total Eclipse Love" (total. eclipse)" When the crew was interviewed, they didn't hold back their anger, and scolded the reporters in front of them, and the reporters didn't react for a while.
"You shameless crows, full of nonsense! When did Hugo play a big name, please show the evidence! Isn't the news what you say or what you say, aren't you shouting truth and truth every day? Then bring out the evidence and call out the witnesses! Don't just stand there spitting feces all over your mouth because you're jealous of Hugo! ”
Leonardo cursed angrily, his speech seemed a little incoherent, although the central meaning was clear, but mixed with a lot of foul language to blur in, Leonardo was still a little too immature to deal with reporters compared to Hugo.
The reporters were initially confused by Leonardo, but then they began to get excited. Leonardo is not Hugo, when Hugo scolds reporters, reporters can only listen honestly, and it is difficult to refute; But Leonardo didn't have that ability. Journalists are already thinking about how to punish Leonardo with their pens in their hands.
But obviously, Leonardo didn't have this kind of consciousness at all, and still said angrily, "Hugo's humility, dedication, dedication and seriousness in the crew, every crew member sees it, you cowards, you only dare to publish the lies of those rats who dare not sign their names, but you dare not interview people who really know the truth!" ”
Leonardo's face turned red and he scolded all the reporters for a bloody head, only to be caught and scolded by his agent when he went back. At this time, the unruly Leonardo didn't think about it, and directly yelled at his agent, "You have been fired", and this scene was even directly recorded by reporters.
It seems that Leonardo will also follow Hugo to bear the name of "playing a big name".
However, before the reporters could criticize Leonardo, the situation changed again. Steven Spielberg also accepted an interview with reporters, and everyone in the circle knows that Steven, who has always been kind, is actually very stubborn and arrogant, but he rarely shows it. This can be seen from Steven's obsession with "Schindler's List", and he even did not hesitate to make a decision with Universal Pictures for this work.
Now, the reporters actually took out the "Schindler's list" once again to talk about it, and they poured dirty water on Hugo, and Steven naturally couldn't tolerate it.
"I don't know who the source of that news story came from, but I'm pretty sure that if the whistleblower had that confidence, he could have stepped up and confronted any member of the Schindler's List crew, I mean, anybody. Hugo's contribution to our entire crew is immeasurable, and any form of insult to him is a shame! I'm pretty sure that source is definitely not a staff member of our crew! ”
Steven's words were already very decisive, almost gritting his teeth, and the thing was not only that, "I have not been in contact with Hugo for a long time, but what I have never impressed Hugo most has never been his talent or his appearance, his talent. Yes, maybe it was talent that brought him into my sights and became a member of my crew at first, but what really moved me was his professionalism and dedication. Hugo once said that he was not a very talented actor, so he was always trying to keep learning. I don't know where all the news about Hugo playing big names in the crew came from, but I'm pretty sure that Hugo wasn't that kind of person. ”
After Steven, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, and Meg Ryan, the three top names in the circle, all stood up to speak for Hugo, especially the grumpy Al, who pointed to the reporter's nose and scolded, "You pigs with their heads stuffed with dung, what else will you do except for nonsense without evidence!" Hugo didn't read your report about his illness, and said that he didn't attend the press conference, and if you really want to interview him, why don't you just go to the hospital for an interview! Oh, I forgot, you used to go straight to the hospital for interviews, and the other patients had no way to rest! Social scum! ”
Apparently Arr was also kept in the dark, genuinely believing that Hugo was ill and missed the press conference. Because Al knew very well that Hugo was never a big-name personality.
When things got out of hand, close associates such as Charlize Theron, Alex Lorraine, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock and other close associates came forward to clarify Hugo, and the members of the glorious to death even rolled up their sleeves to fight with reporters - none of those rumors about the tour were true, they were all fabricated, which simply made the band members angry, even if Henry dissuaded them from calming down, they couldn't stop it at all.
Even Meryl Streep, a senior who has never worked with Hugo, stepped forward, "Hugo and I are friends, and yes, we have a good chat every time we meet." I'm sure Hugo wasn't that kind of person, but I think the media coverage is very strange. Isn't it? It was just rumors from start to finish, and it was like this almost in a week's time, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but I know that the person who has been in the media recently is definitely not Hugo as I know. ”
Meryl is worthy of being an old man, and quietly accused this whole thing of being a conspiracy, which made the audience think: Could it be that someone wants to discredit Hugo again this time?
Paul Newman and Katharine Hepburn, two superstars who have rarely given media interviews, were shocked this time. Paul remained gentlemanly, saying that these rumors were false and unsubstantiated; But Catherine's fiery temper couldn't hold back, and she said directly, "You've insulted Michael Jackson once, it's not enough, and now you're going to insult Hugo Lancaster again?" Is it because the scandal you created was said by Hugo, and now you have a weak heart, so you want to take revenge on Hugo? ”
Catherine's direct words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and immediately made the news and public opinion completely fried.
Things have developed to this point, not to mention friends who are familiar with Hugo, and even actors who have nothing to do with Hugo have expressed their opinions, which seems to have become the hottest topic in Hollywood. Tom Cruise, the name most frequently associated with Hugo in recent times, was also blocked by reporters while filming "Mission Impossible" in London.
To everyone's surprise, Tom did not protect himself as expected - at least not to comment on Hugo's rival, but instead solemnly stated, "I never thought that this news would have anything to do with Hugo, because Hugo was a gentleman, and he disdained to do such oppressive things, which was an insult to his character." And those who believe in these rumors have never really understood Hugo, but they are just like the clouds. ”
Tom did not condemn the media, nor did he condemn time itself, just like his style - cherish feathers and make a good image, but Tom still sided with Hugo, which was really unexpected.
The last fire burned directly in front of the door of the "Seven Deadly Sins", so that the crew had to be forced to face this news event.
David Fincher, Andrew Kevin Walker and others naturally defended Hugo, and they knew exactly how this incident came about; And for Brad Pitt, there is really a bitter word, he can't wait to fall into the well and curse Huego fiercely, but he knows that he can't, and Martin also told him that he won't allow it, so Brad can only defend Hugo when facing the media.
When things came full circle, it finally came back to Hugo.
Hugo's unexpectedly reticence was one of the driving forces of the event, albeit somewhat unusual, but it was also the same as Hugo's style of rejecting malicious hype. There have been several similar hype incidents before this, and Hugo has been dismissive and does not care at all. If this incident hadn't been completely out of control, it is estimated that Hugo would still be reluctant to be interviewed.
Hugo refused most media interviews, and only three media outlets were finally given the right to interview, the Los Angeles Times, USA Weekly, and The Hollywood Reporter. This really made other media angry, but there was nothing they could do with Hugo.
During the interview, Hugo has been very calm, he first denied all the rumors, but he believes that there is no way to disappear these rumors, "because this is part of Hollywood." It's as if I turned down interviews with other media today, it's my power, but for those media who are isolated, that's where I'm domineering. "Different positions decide different points of view. It's a fact. "However, I resolutely resist those news that are made out of nothing, and my attitude towards these news has always been: there is evidence, please show it, let me be speechless; If not, I don't bother to respond to you, because the slap ends up in your own face. ”
Hugo's words made Nicholas and the others in front of them laugh, this is the Hugo they are familiar with, the Hugo who is indignant in the face of more than a hundred reporters. It's just that none of them noticed the anomaly, and Hugo deliberately wore a baseball cap and never took it off.
"So what do you think of this incident? You know, now the news is snowballing, and many people have formed a bad fixed impression of you. The question asked by Nicholas is actually a central question in Hollywood, why do so many artists cherish feathers so much?
Because as long as negative news appears once, whether it is true or false, and no matter how clear it is afterwards, the negative impact has already been caused, and many viewers have formed a fixed negative image. This has an immeasurable impact on the artist's future career.
Hugo was very calm, not only did he not panic on his face, but even had a calm smile, "I think that sometimes it is very interesting to face setbacks or failures, because it allows you to recognize who your real friends are." ”
