At about ten o'clock, the opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" officially began. As Nicholas expected, something was strange! Because Hugo did not attend the press conference.

At the beginning of the opening ceremony, Hugo was still on the scene. He and a large number of actors including Morgan, Brad, Gwyneth walked forward and followed David Finch in a bustling manner to announce the official filming of the "Seven Deadly Sins". But later, when the staff came forward to collect their champagne from the champagne tower, Hugo was submerged in the crowd. When the press conference began, Hugo never appeared again.

This attracted the attention of all media reporters almost immediately, because there is no doubt that Hugo is the top of all the characters present today. Without Hugo, it is estimated that more than two-thirds of the reporters on the scene will leave just Brad Pitt, but there is no strong attraction.

Everyone was speculating on what was going on. As the press conference was announced, the first question was raised impatiently, "Where is Hugo Lancaster?" Although this question was not even approved by the host, a reporter stood up and asked the question first.

However, neither the reporter nor the crew members stopped the reporter because everyone knew it was clear that this was bound to be the first problem.

Producer Gianni Nunali said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern for the crew. I believe Hugo will be very grateful to you know that everyone cares about him so much." Gianni said slowly, looking confident, which made the reporters feel a little relieved: at least it was not an accident, but the crew expected it. "Hugo felt a little uncomfortable, so he went to the lounge to rest first. The doctors of our crew have already gone over for examination. If nothing happened, Hugo will appear later."

Most of the reporters breathed a sigh of relief, obviously believing Gianni's words. But Nicholas frowned slightly. When he saw Hugo just now, Hugo had no problems, and his face was rosy and his expression was normal. How could he suddenly get sick? Although sometimes it is uncontrollable to suddenly come when an emergency illness comes, Nicholas still feels something strange.

Since Hugo did not attend, all the firepower was concentrated on launching towards Brad in an instant, which made Brad quite unbearable.

"Brad, what do you think of joining this work?"

"Brad, what exactly attracts you in this work? Are you satisfied with the cast lineup?"

"Brad, what kind of role are you playing, and how do you view the rivalry with other actors?"

The problem at the beginning was relatively regular and restrained, which made Brad very satisfied. Hugo's failure to attend the press conference actually made him the biggest focus. This was a good thing for Brad, a rare good thing. Before that, whether it was "night visits to vampires" or "love-burning years", his style was shared by others. Today, Brad finally truly experienced the core taste of the attention of everyone.

But Brad soon began to struggle. Although Xinyi Film Company only invited fifteen media outlets, there were more than 40 media outlets at the scene, and nearly 100 journalists. This was too grand, and the reporters' questions became more and more sharp, making Brad in a hurry.

"Brad, can you talk about Hugo's role in the movie? What do you think of him as your rival actor?"

Brad wanted to roll his eyes in his heart. Why did he ask Hugo's question to answer? Even if Hugo is not here, the reporter can ask the director, producer or screenwriter. No matter how he is, it's not his turn!

Brad tried hard to suppress his impatientness and looked at David. David took the initiative to follow the topic. "Hugo will play an important role in the movie this time, which is an indispensable part of the story. At the same time, Hugo's acting skills are also a new test, which is why Hugo is willing to take on the role."

Saying it means not saying anything, there is a lot of nonsense.

The reporters were obviously very dissatisfied with David's answer. Even Brad added, "I have many rivalries with Hugo in the movie, and I am looking forward to it now." This still means that there is no answer to the reporter's question: Hugo's character is still full of fog.

"Brad, in this movie you will work with two outstanding actors, Morgan Freeman and Hugo Lancaster. How do you think about the competition between each other?"

"Morgan and Hugo are both excellent actors. I think this filming opportunity is very rare. It will be a good opportunity to communicate with each other. I will seize it." Brad had expected this question long ago. Although he was a little irritated inside at this time, he still answered with patience.

Note that Brad uses "communication" rather than "learning". Communication means that both parties are equal, and Brad puts himself, Morgan and Hugo on the same level.

Morgan, who was sitting aside, received a signal from Gianni, so he took the initiative to stand up and relieve Brad. "Brad is also a very outstanding actor, and I have been looking forward to working with him for a long time. I had discussed with Hugo before that I thought the shooting process would be very interesting."

Unfortunately, Morgan failed to clear the ball. The reporter not only did not divert his attention, but continued to be aggressive. "Morgan and Hugo both won the Oscar nomination. They are both actors at the Little Golden Man level. Brad, do you feel pressured now?"

Brad took a few deep breaths to try to calm himself down. He should have expected this situation, right? So he shouldn't be disrupted by the reporter's step-by-step pressing. "Of course there is pressure. The role of Mills is not easy. I need to spend 200% concentration to fully devote myself. There will inevitably be more pressure on the scenes against Morgan, but I hope to turn the pressure into motivation and present a wonderful performance."

As soon as I heard this, I knew that Martin had committed suicide to Bradler countless times, and this answer was almost perfect. The only loophole was that Brad only mentioned Morgan but not Hugo.

"Brad, how do you view the head-on competition with Hugo? You two are the most popular actors at present, and Hugo's acting performance is obvious to all. Now that you are competing with Hugo on the same stage, will you feel nervous? How do you view Hugo's competitor?"

Now the reporter simply stopped covering up and threw out the essential problems, which left Brad without space to hide, and at the same time made Brad's anger keep rising: Hugo was obviously not here, but almost two-thirds of the problems were related to Hugo, which made it really difficult for Brad to remain calm.

"Nervous? Of course not. Even if you perform on the same stage as Malone Brando, nervousness can't help." Brad almost squeezed his voice out of his throat, but he still had to keep a smile, which caused internal injuries. "I think I should focus on my performance, which is the wisest choice. Hugo is of course a very outstanding actor, and I believe he will have a very outstanding performance."

The subtext seems to be saying that Hugo is indeed excellent, but he is not as good as Ma Long at all. And he is not working with Ma Long, so why bother nervous?

The reporters were all canine animals with a keen sense of smell. Although Brad concealed it very well, they still felt the opportunity. So another reporter stood up and asked, "Brad, can you introduce us to Hugo's role? Hugo and you, who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role?"

Brad finally couldn't help it at this moment. An absurd actor who was absent appeared in almost every question. "I am the male lead! I am the male lead!" Brad blurted out, his voice rising, making people feel his impulse and explosion vividly.

But at this time, Brad was no longer the naughty man he had at the time. He quickly realized his impulse, not to mention that from David to Andrew to Gianni, almost everyone had cast their eyes on him. He clearly felt the tingling feeling of being on his back, like a needle and a feeling of being felt. So he immediately suppressed his voice slightly and said stiffly, "Hugo played a very important role, uh...it's very important for the whole story..."

"Hugo and Brad have many rival scenes, including Gwyneth," Morgan rescued Brad. His uneasy tone contrasted with Brad, but gradually calmed down the tension of the scene. "We all think that it is the most reassuring thing to hand over this role to Hugo. I believe Hugo will once again contribute a wonderful performance."

Morgan made a good comeback for Brad, especially Morgan emphasized that Hugo and several other major characters had rival scenes, which put the reporters in chaos. Since Brad is the male lead, what about Hugo? Is it really a double protagonist like in "Night Visit Vampire"? This makes sense.

However, the reporters on the scene keenly captured Brad's impatientness, as well as the secrets of other crew members such as Morgan, David, Gianni, etc. It seemed that Hugo's absence was not abnormal, but it seemed that everyone was hiding and unwilling to talk more. Why is this?

Recalling carefully, Hugo appeared at the opening ceremony, but missed the press conference; the producer covered up Hugo, but the actors of the same drama were angry... This seems to illustrate a fact: Hugo is a big shot!

This is definitely the case. How could it be that I suddenly fell ill after the opening ceremony? Hugo must be acting like a big shot and refused to attend the press conference, so the atmosphere was very stiff. The reporters obviously completely ignored the factors that fanned the flames.

So, another reporter stood up and asked, "The press conference is now half over, why has Hugo still not appeared?" The reporter also added considerately, "If you are really feeling uncomfortable, you still have to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Faced with this problem, Gianni looked at David meaningfully and finally said, "Thank you for your concern. As a member of the crew, Hugo will definitely protect his health. If he feels better, he will definitely appear at the press conference."

Gianni's reaction confirmed the reporters' speculation!
