Chapter 1179 1179 Secret Contest
Colin Meller knew it was time to stop.
Because things have long been out of control, if we don't stop, as Catherine Hepburn said, the second witch trial will appear. This time the media will not be able to escape the accusation. This time, there is no evidence for all the words of Hugo.
Now, not only Hugo's good friend, but Hugo's former partners have come forward to clarify the facts, and the connections behind the scenes have gradually begun to exert tension. Surprisingly, the innovative artist brokerage company has joined forces with the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company this time. If the "Seven Deadly Sins" are a project that the two companies cooperates with artists, it may be explained. The huge media connections have begun to gradually put pressure on, and the storm is silent little by little.
Just look at the recent reports from major media. The newspapers led by the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times have finally spoken out: defending Hugo. Critical editorials led by the New Yorker and the Washington Post have also begun to join the discussion: once again condemning the media for violating the basic principle of "news truth".
All signs are showing that things have turned from cloudy to sunny. In a quiet moment, Hugo's powerful network of contacts has been formed, because Hugo maintains more and more economic stakeholders in Hollywood, which also means that more and more people will stand on Hugo's side.
Times have changed, and Hugo is no longer the same as before. To put it bluntly, Hugo does have the capital to be a big shot; to put it nicely, that is, Hugo has long been no longer a little actor whose negative news career will have huge ups and downs.
The New York Post cannot withstand the second witch trial. Even if there are many other media outlets at the bottom this time, the New York Post is no longer a target of gunfire, but it is not something they can afford because the result will be worse than the last time. What's more, the New York Post has already made great gains from this incident, so there is no need for them to do it.
Therefore, Colin called out the gold and retreated early, even earlier than Hugo's interview, and the "New York Post" no longer followed up on subsequent reports. The fox's cunning point is that he learns from his mistakes.
Not only Colin, but most media also felt the pressure from all directions, including public opinion, and the big boss behind it. Unconsciously, the entire big brand storm gradually subsided and was clarified one after another. As for the real ending of the matter, it will take a day to "the truth is revealed". Perhaps after the "Seven Deadly Sins" are released, the crew will be eager to speak up.
The media's face will definitely be very interesting by then.
Relatively speaking, the crew of the "Seven Deadly Sins" seemed calm and calm because of Hugo's calmness and calmness. In fact, even when he received interviews from three media outlets, Hugo's speech was reserved. He still did not respond positively to the absence of the press conference of the opening ceremony, but only responded with his consistent principle of "talking facts".
From beginning to end, Hugo has become a target for changing the topic. Since people are firmly locking their eyes on Hugo, Hugo simply locks their eyes on himself completely, allowing the "Seven Deadly Sins" to be hidden behind him and quietly devoted himself to the shooting.
The filming of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was indeed very smooth, and all aspects of the crew were progressing smoothly, especially David Finch, who was the director, had endless inspiration. After learning from the lessons of "Alien 3", this time, the new film company boldly delegated power and allowed David to play freely, which made David particularly active in the crew.
As the leading actor, Brad Pitt's performance was also praised by the crew. Even Hugo, he had to say objectively, "Brad is really hard."
As the most mysterious anonymous in the whole movie, Hugo only made his first appearance almost halfway through the movie, but when there was no shooting task in the early stage, Hugo also appeared on the crew all day long. Most of the time, he stayed alone in the corner and muttered. Once Andrew found Hugo talking to himself, and walked up to talk, but was frightened by Hugo's hunched expression.
The atmosphere created by David in the entire crew was of great help to Hugo to understand the role of Anonymous. He was using his own methods to get into the role bit by bit. Even the errands outside the crew could not affect Hugo at all. He knew very clearly how difficult the role of Anonymous was, and a slight slackness would make the character fail.
This is really a satire. Everyone outside the crew is mocking Hugo for being a big shot and being unprofessional, but everyone inside the crew can see Hugo's efforts for the crew.
Brad naturally saw Hugo's efforts. This was a very wonderful process. He could see Hugo every day. He seemed to feel the little changes in Hugo every day, but he couldn't say anything. When he woke up, he suddenly found that Hugo standing in front of him had become anonymous.
Brad then realized that when he saw Hugo's changes every day, it was like Hugo taking his momentum inward little by little. Originally, Hugo was used to wearing a light smile, and he looked like a sunny gentleman everywhere he went, which could easily attract the attention of people around him. Hugo was like a luminous stone, shining light at any time. But now, Hugo is gradually becoming restrained in this temperament.
Brad wasn't sure what was wrong, maybe it was his eyes, maybe it was a smile, maybe it was a way of standing or walking, or maybe it was body language, but he could just feel the changes in Hugo. It was Hugo standing in front of him, but it was not Hugo.
Now Hugo is still smiling, smiling at people all the time, nodding, gentlemanly and polite. But now Hugo is like air. Even if he is standing not far away, no one will pay attention. Sometimes a lot of people stand together and chat. After a long time, he suddenly finds that Hugo is standing there because Hugo doesn't say a word, with a polite and polite smile on his face, but there is no sense of existence.
This process is too magical and vivid. Almost the entire process of Hugo constantly polishing his acting skills, with a little change every day, which means that Hugo is making adjustments every day. He is always looking for the most suitable performance rhythm and the most suitable image characteristics of the Anonymous.
Although Brad didn't want to admit it, he was really scared by Hugo. Others said how Hugo was forgetting to eat and sleep for his acting skills, how seriously he devoted himself, or how he got into a traitor. Brad all sounded like a lie and a flatterer. But after real experience, he realized how much effort Hugo had put into performing, and rumors could not convey the hardships and horrors of the whole process.
Faced with huge pressure, he either surrendered and retreated or burst out with great force. Brad chose the latter. Not only did he not feel decadent, but he was inspired to have a stronger fighting spirit. He always knew that Hugo was not an easy opponent to deal with, and he had never been afraid.
So, compared to Hugo who quietly polished his acting skills, Brad's image of desperate Saburo slowly spread across the crew.
At this time, the second scene that Hugo had since joined the crew was filming. They left Burbank's studio and came to the streets of Los Angeles to close the streets for shooting. However, this scene did not test Hugo's acting skills much, because like the first scene, he needed to wear a windbreaker and a hat to hide his entire face. It was not yet time to reveal his true identity.
This scene is where Mills, played by Brad and Shamoses, played by Morgan, find the home of Anonymous. This was originally just an inconspicuous clue. Mills didn't believe that the character pointed to by the clue was the murderer, and Shamoses was a little hesitant, just thinking that "since there are no other clues, it's okay to verify it." But unexpectedly, this clue that did not give any hope helped them find Anonymous.
The Anonymous did not expect them to find themselves so quickly, so they had to flee. Shamosey was left behind because he was old and could not keep up with the speed, while Mills chased the Anonymous all the way. The chase scene is now filming.
The biggest test of Hugo's acting skills in the chase scene is that Anonymous's foot was injured. He was not good at running, and in addition, he just ran in panic. However, the whole scene was very physically exhausted, because the entire chase scene was divided into three parts, the pursuit upstairs and downstairs indoors, the pursuit on the street, and finally the game in a remote and dead end.
The indoor chase scene was filmed for a whole morning, and ran back and forth at least thirty times. It was finally time to switch from indoor to the street. Since David wanted to create a gloomy and gray image tones, the plot was set in a downpour.
Hugo was the first to appear. He rolled and crawled in the bustling array of vehicles, especially the continuous slippage of water-stacked streets, which caused Hugo a lot of trouble. His previous experience of shooting "life and death speed" brought him a lot of experience, but even so, Hugo still collided with a stunt vehicle that was about to shoot a series of collisions. Fortunately, it was not a head-on collision, but just a large layer of skin was worn out. After running fourteen times, he completely shot all his parts according to David's requirements.
Then Brad was chasing the role. Since Hugo did not use a stand-in, Brad also rejected the stand-in's request and took part in person. This is not only a contest of acting skills, but also a contest of momentum.
Amid David's "start shooting", Brad rushed out towards the not-so-rushing vehicle array, but the heavy rain created by the sprinkler truck was almost completely blocked. As soon as Brad's soles slipped, he flew out, and at the same time a yellow car slid past him.
With a loud "bang", Brad and the car collided hard.
