The comeback 681 questioned inertia

Standing less than ten yards away from the crowd to watch the qiē, James clearly watched the sharp confrontation between Hugo and the reporter, who blocked all the attacks of the reporter just by talking and laughing, and the reporter was not only weak in attacking, but also blocked by Hugo without saying anything, which made people applaud.

Even if James is just a bystander, he can't help but want to applaud Hugo, these reporters just came over to surround him with the mentality of wanting to make Hugo difficult, but they didn't expect the result to steal chickens and rice, which made the smile on the corner of James's mouth naturally rise.

But after laughing, James looked at Hugo, who was always smiling kindly, and his eyes became complicated again, and then at this time, he didn't know whether Hugo was intentional or unintentional, just when he turned around, the eyes of the two people met for a moment in the air. James looked at Hugo's smile that seemed to melt the cold winter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull to the sides, pulling out a smile that was even uglier than crying, and then he hesitated for a moment, and then chose to turn away.

Hugo didn't notice James's departure, his attention was on the reporters, and the smile on his face was one of the weapons to deal with the reporters, but if Hugo noticed, he might have doubts about James's complicated eyes, and there were indeed too many strange things in James Franco.

After Hugo's conversation with the reporters was over, the reporters could only stand still and watch Hugo and Leonardo calmly walk away, which is not very common, but it is also believed that it will not be rare in the future.

Generally speaking, the confrontation between reporters and artists is often the artist fleeing from the wilderness, and the reporter is constantly tracking and taking pictures with a camera, which is annoying. But now in the face of Hugo, whether it is tracking and shooting closely, or bombing intensively, they can't break through Hugo's defense, and often end up in a disgraced situation, and finally watch Hugo leave Shi Shi and don't even need to drive as a cover, which is really embarrassing.

However, in the short term, it is estimated that it is not a simple matter for reporters to find Hugo's flaws. Therefore, the confrontation between reporters and Hugo in the future must become more and more unpredictable.

The gym where Hugo and Leonardo do physical training together is not far from Sunset Square, and it is only a fifteen-minute walk, and when the two of them return to Sunset Square, Hugo saw Nicholas McKellen sitting on a plastic chair in front of the convenience store at the intersection, although Nicholas did not say hello, but Hugo knew that he was here for himself.

Hugo thought about it and asked Leonardo to go back first, he carried his sports equipment backpack on his back, walked in the direction of Nicholas, and then sat down in the plastic chair opposite Nicholas, Nicholas was not surprised to see Hugo at all, no greeting or politeness, and directly showed a smile and teased, "I heard that you just made nine reporters speechless." ”

"I swear, absolutely not." Hugo raised his right hand to show his innocence, "I just briefly discussed some issues with them that I couldn't understand, as if your journalist's job is to ask questions." Hugo's rebuttal immediately made Nicholas chuckle, but Hugo glanced at the mobile phone on the plastic round table and sighed, "Now the speed of news is really fast." ”

Nicholas also noticed Hugo's eyes, smiled and nodded his chin, "Our newspaper has also sent someone to surround you, but I think it's more cost-effective to wait for you here than to besiege you." Now it seems that I missed the excitement. ”

The group of reporters who were besieged just now were all people who had participated in the "Life and Death Speed" press conference, and they also knew that the news had to be timely, so they rushed towards Hugo, but no one expected such a result.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders, "If you want, we can continue the discussion just now, maybe they can't answer the question, you can give me an answer." ”

Nicholas leaned forward, picked up his phone and played, "I just heard a little bit about it. Nicholas had just had a brief communication with his colleagues at his newspaper and didn't know the specific content, but he still heard about Hugo's question, "I think it's actually very simple, and you know the answer, but you deliberately want to play tricks on those reporters." ”

Hugo pursed his lips and smiled, not answering, not admitting but not denying it.

"You know that when people judge the prospects of a work, it is nothing more than those criteria, the cost, the script, the director, the cast, etc., if a work does not have these factors, it is naturally puzzling. So when you choose something that doesn't meet these expectations, it naturally raises questions. Nicholas didn't intend to explain seriously, but simply concluded with a smile, "Especially when you can get a salary of 15 million dollars now, and work with a director of Steven Spielberg's level, but choose an action movie with an investment of less than 30 million, and the screenwriter and director are just debuts, which is really incomprehensible." ”

"So, you can't understand it either?" Hugo didn't bother to explain, but asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Please, Hugo, I can't write an article about your answer." Nicholas was very dissatisfied with Hugo's response, "People respond to these questions by constantly praising their crew, praising the script for being excellent, praising the team for being excellent, or praising that the experience will be very different this time." Can't you just do the same?"

"Is there a need? You've got all I have to say. Hugo's words made Nicholas feel powerless for a while, and he could only laugh dumbly. Looking at Nicholas's expression, Hugo couldn't help but be very curious, "Why do you think that my choice of 'speed of life and death' is the right decision?"

Although Nicholas didn't say anything, Hugo could feel it, and Nicholas still planned to go against all the other media and choose to support Hugo, as he had done several times before. This made Hugo feel very curious, you know, before "smelling a woman", Nicholas had always looked at Hugo unpleasantly

Nicholas raised his eyes, looked at Hugo seriously, and then smiled smugly, "Because it's my intuition." But before these words came out, they were broken by Hugo's sneer, which immediately made Nicholas feel very depressed, "Hey, you should at least give me a little face." ”

"Agents and actors may rely on intuition when choosing works, but journalists can't rely on intuition when writing news, I'm not a fledgling who just started in the industry, and if I believe you, I'm a real fool." Hugo's counterattack made Nicholas feel very powerless.

Nicholas feels very magical, in the past two years he is the real witness, witnessing Hugo from youth and ignorance step by step to today's sharp direct, calm and elegant, this kind of witness to the greatness and grandeur makes Nicholas feel that life is really colorful, but at this time when he was really aggrieved by Hugo's counterattack, Nicholas still felt very unhappy.

"Hey, you know that I'm used to praising you now, why do you still ask so much, really! You're going to poke me. Nicholas muttered dissatisfied, "How do you write my news, how do you write it!"

After two years of ups and downs, Hugo has a new understanding of journalists, that is, they have habits, habitual questioning or habitual praise.

Before the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo had failed three consecutive works, and the "Dead Poets Society", which had achieved great success before, failed to win Hugo's Oscar nomination, and finally gave a fatal blow with the Golden Raspberry Award, so reporters have formed an inertial thinking: Hugo's works are habitually failing.

This also directly led to the media being constantly questioning during the period of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea".

Originally, the success of Hugo's two works has gotten rid of the idea of habitual failure, but Hugo's next works are full of uncertainties, "Sleepless in Seattle", "Schindler's List", "Vulgar", and "Speed of Life and Death" are all "potential stocks" that can be decided, so the inertia of questioning continues.

It's a fixed mindset, and people always think that Hugo will fail. In fact, the same is true for Michael Jackson in the news media, and there have been countless negative presses about Michael throughout the eighties, and he even gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey at the beginning of last year to clarify it, so he should be a prostitute. When the child case broke out, people's first reaction was "this is all true......".

It's like the bad things in the class are all done by the children with poor grades, and it is absolutely impossible for the children with good grades to be successful, this is a truth.

Similarly, once this inertia is broken and reversed, the inertia of questioning will evolve into the inertia of praise, for example, as long as the works shot by Steven Spielberg are guaranteed at the box office, for example, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and other actors are worth looking forward to, for example, Tom Cruise's works are bound to have an advantage at the box office...... This habitual compliment will continue on and on.

Therefore, Hugo's filming of "Speed of Life and Death" this time has continued this inertia, and people habitually question it, and this work does have countless so-called "loopholes" worthy of reporters to take out and talk about, and they will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Hugo looked at Nicholas, who was complaining incessantly in front of him, and suddenly withdrew his mouth and laughed, "You say, if I think that the box office of 'Life and Death Hour' will definitely be more than 100 million US dollars, what will everyone think?"

Nicholas looked at Hugo in front of him in a daze, his voice stuck in his throat for a while, and finally he held back a sentence, "You're crazy!"
