The head-to-head confrontation between Hugo and Anthony directly detonated the enthusiasm of all the media and made the entire entertainment industry lively.

This time, James Rattle, a reporter for "American Weekly", stole the limelight, and James did not expect that a friendly gesture to Hugo at the premiere of "The Final Analysis" would actually exert its power a year later, winning him the biggest breakthrough of his career.

After Anthony's press conference, James conducted an hour-long interview with Hugo, and then he used the title "Sincerely apologize, neither humble nor arrogant......" to report the beating that attracted countless attention. Throughout the article, James explained the whole incident in a plain tone, impartially, and restored the situation on the scene as truthfully as possible, and then expressed his opinion.

Hugo was deeply aware of the mistake of his actions, and he repeatedly expressed his sincere apologies for beating Anthony, and offered to compensate Anthony. As a public figure, Hugo knew that his actions were incorrect, and he was trying to make up for the bad effects of it. We should condemn Hugo, but we should not criticize him, at least we should see his sincerity and recognize his new attitude.

But on the other hand, behind Hugo's misbehavior, is there more inside story worth excavating? This is obvious. Anthony repeatedly slandered Hugo with bad language, including not only slandering Hugo's creative talent, but also maliciously accusing Hugo's creations of plagiarism, which is an accusation that has no basis or meaning; Moreover, he made personal attacks on Hugo, maliciously distorted Hugo's response to the Golden Globes, deliberately created rumors about Hugo's so-called big names, and deliberately misinterpreted Hugo's 'private' life, which is absolutely reprehensible.

When journalists maliciously interpret public figures under the banner of 'right to know' and 'freedom of the press', this is within the scope of the law, but this is to protect the media's transcendent status, not to become a tool for the media to produce news.

Obviously, Anthony used the principle that 'the media accuses public figures' and is not bound by news facts, and carried out an unreasonable attack on Hugo, the purpose of which is not to verify the facts, but to 'provoke' Hugo, and finally achieve the purpose of creating news explosions. Anthony succeeded, as evidenced by his bruises, which won attention, sympathy, and news.

While we condemn Hugo for being carried away by anger and punching and kicking Anthony, we should also see Anthony's leading role in this incident, which is completely a prank directed by Anthony.

After the incident, Hugo was condemned, punished, admitted his mistakes, and accepted the facts, so should Anthony also bear the corresponding responsibility? When Anthony uses press freedom as a weapon to attack public figures in order to profit from the press, it is an act of violence in itself, and it should be absolutely forbidden!"

James's entire article seems to be impartial and righteous, and analyzes the whole incident based on facts, but in fact, after reading the whole article, it is not difficult to see that he is standing in Hugo's perspective and crying out for Hugo. However, James was smart that he did not blindly say good things for Hugo, and after playing fifty boards on each side, he emphasized Hugo's correct attitude and condemned Anthony's bad intentions. Under such circumstances, the psychological balance of the people has quietly changed.

In fact, this is also the purpose of Hugo's decision to 'face-to-face' with Antony, and now it seems that Hugo is halfway there.

This issue of "America Weekly" sold 300,000 copies in the United States in just one day, which is already comparable to the sales of a week or even half a month at other times.

Although Nicholas McLaan missed Hugo's interview, it did not prevent him from speaking for Hugo in the latest issue of the Los Angeles Times.

"Hugo Lancaster sincerely apologizes, and Antonis Stewart has no face to accept it." This long title is enough to attract many eyes.

In the article, Nicholas said, "Although Hugo knew that he had fallen into a trap, he did not shirk his responsibility, but bravely confessed his mistake and took the initiative to make amends with kindness, and Hugo is forgivable for this alone." Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has the courage to admit mistakes, especially when the mistake is deliberately led by others, it is much more difficult to shirk responsibility than to take responsibility. Hugo's attitude deserves to be commended. ”

On the contrary, Nicholas believes that Anthony's behavior is a bad example of the journalist profession, because he maliciously uses his power to truly treat reporters as "uncrowned kings" and arbitrarily 'manipulate' and control the news breaking points, and achieves the purpose of plundering news through slander, slander, provocation and other bad ways, which is the degeneration of journalism. When shouting the slogan of "restore the truth", but seeking one's own 'selfishness' for the sake of "sales, money, attention, and reputation", this is definitely an insult to press freedom.

Nicholas even righteously said, "If Anthony does not face up to his mistakes, it will be a pen and a fun game breeding ground for the rot of the press www.biquge.info........."

Compared with James of "American Weekly", Nicholas's attitude towards Hugo is very obvious, and he is completely from Hugo's position to explain. But Nicholas was a bit of a gamer, and he elevated the whole issue to the level of journalism, which is also the smartest point.

Because under the hint of Nicholas, Anthony's impure motives made Hugo's counterattack become "legitimate defense", which also made Hugo's blow to Anthony a means of self-protection, not only does not need to be blamed, but on the contrary, it should be recognized. Nicholas even repeatedly stressed that even though Hugo was "justified in self-defense", he still expressed sincere apologies, and this humility is rare and valuable.

It can be said that Nicholas is singing the praises of Hugo in the way of stealing concepts, and the ordinary people are still very much paying for it.

A day earlier, the Los Angeles Times had reported on the Golden Globe ceremony, including the beating of the celebration party - Nicholas had denounced Hugo in this newspaper, which sold 100,000 copies of 100,000 daggers; A day later, Nicholas uncovered the truth and set the record straight for Hugo, and the newspaper sold a full 2.5 million copies in one day, the highest sales volume of the Los Angeles Times since the Rodney King affair last year!

Since the beginning of the 90s, the average daily sales of the "Los Angeles Times" have remained at about 1.5 million copies, and its development has come to a standstill; when the Rodney King incident broke out last year, the sales of the "Los Angeles Times" had remained above 2.8 million copies for a week in a row, but it has never been able to 'touch' the threshold of 3 million. Who would have expected that this seemingly just a news explosion in the entertainment industry would actually make the "Los Angeles Times" sell 2.5 million copies, which is really too unexpected.

From this side, it can be seen that the super high attention of this incident has been achieved.

While "USA Weekly" and "Los Angeles Times" said good things about Hugo, it was natural that other media outlets found other ways to get a piece of the pie from this news event.

Although there are only a handful of media outlets willing to speak blatantly for Anthony Stewart, in addition to the National Enquirer, there are several local 'sex' newspapers that consider Anthony to be a conscientious journalist and Hugo as the embodiment of violence, and they all complain about Anthony. But in addition to this, the attitude of more media is that they do not clarify the facts for Anthony, but they do not intend to let Hugo go.

Most of the media is neutral, believing that Anthony is indeed at fault, but Hugo should not be punching and kicking either. This unbiased view prevailed, and it was also a result of the painstaking management of Hugo and Joseph. At the very least, this view did not blame Hugo too much, and Hugo's sincere apology was accepted by the public, minimizing the negative impact of the incident.

However, in addition to the neutral position, the media's attention has shifted from the beating itself to other focuses, and from a certain point of view, no one cares about Anthony's beating, and the media's attitude is more like "Hugo hit someone wrong, but he has apologized, so let's do it, we should pay attention to some other things...... this strange situation makes people laugh and cry.

Although it was not Anthony's wish to ignore the beating, the media reporters still complied with Anthony's wish and focused their attention on Hugo's big-name incident, which was also the biggest explosion of the beating.

Hugo's experience is really a bit wonderful, the "Dead Poets Society" became an instant hit, although it did not make Hugo really among the first line, but he did become the protagonist later, from this point of view, Hugo was a big-name non-actor in the movie, so in the past few years, the news about Hugo playing a big name has been in the newspapers several times, and it is more or less discussed in a ridiculous tone in the circle.

And this time, after Hugo went through a trough, he dedicated two more 'fine' color masterpieces, and became a first-line in one go, and even went further in terms of acting skills and was also recognized by the Golden Globe Award nomination, and now Hugo's situation is a big improvement compared to the period after the "Dead Poets Society". In such a situation, there are rumors of big names popping up, and people have to think that Hugo's old "disease" has relapsed. This also makes the statement that Hugo played a big name not clarified at all, but has sprung up like a 'spring' after the rain.

This was what Anthony hoped for - not in the way he wanted, but not in what Hugo could have predicted.
