There are many reasons why the media is unwilling to report a work. The biggest possibility is that it has no reporting value. Hollywood will start filming almost every day, but most of it has no news value, so naturally no media is willing to report it. But obviously "Death-in-law Walk" does not belong to this type.

From the investment in DreamWorks to the self-written and directed by Tim Robbins, from the script adapted from the real story to the joining of Susan Sarandon and Hugo, "Death-in-law Walk" has too much attention and enough to attract news media to report. Even if it is not a large-scale discussion, it will not be like the current situation: except for the Los Angeles Times, no media reports, and there is not even a press release, which is too abnormal.

Daws Carter knows why.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" that just completed not long ago really offended a large number of people. The crew's closed shooting is not a big problem. After all, there are a lot of crews that need to be closed shooting. The "Seven Deadly Sins" action is not an accident. What is important is the crew's unwillingness to cooperate, which has made many media reporters very angry.

Director David Finch is a tough guy, and his violent and uncooperative attitude makes reporters particularly troublesome; Morgan Freeman, one of the main actors, has always had a low-key personality. When he sees media reporters, he often smiles, and then leaves silently, making the reporters have no place to go if they want to do their best. Surprisingly, Brad Pitt, who has always been willing to cooperate with the media, also seemed distracted this time. Several interviews ended hastily and his attitude seemed very perfunctory. What's even more strange is that Brad's agent Martin Baum also acquiesced, which made the reporters completely confused.

Of course, Hugo is the most important one.

Since the absence of the press conference on the start-up, Hugo completely rejected all interviews from reporters. Even though Michael Jackson's major incident occurred during the period, Hugo still looked disregarded, which made the reporters very upset: they were the passive side facing Hugo now, and they needed to ask Hugo for an interview, and Hugo's arrogant attitude made them feel even more humiliated.

The reporters know that this is the rule of Hollywood. When the actors are unknown, they beg reporters to interview and report, and every interview opportunity is particularly cherished; when the actors are very popular, the reporters beg them to interview, because this newspaper does not interview, and that newspaper is on the bench, and the competition is particularly fierce.

Therefore, even if the reporters dislike these actors who "play big names and put on airs" in a lot of ways, even if the reporters curse and sneer at these actors behind their backs, they still have to rush forward with a smile when working. This is the industry rules and their job.

In the past three years, Hugo's upward momentum has been unmatched, so journalists have suffered the most times in Hugo, not to mention the bad deeds that happened during this period. The scars of the witch trial have not been completely eliminated yet. When Michael Jackson cleans up his grievances, the first one to be condemned were the pretentious uncrowned kings. This has become a nightmare for the news media, and it is estimated that they will not completely retreat within the past year or two years.

The reporters always hope to see Hugo suffer, but they fail every time, but they fight again and again. When the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" was released, the reporters joined forces to boycott this work or, more accurately, they jointly boycott Hugo. Unfortunately, they seemed to be inadequately prepared. Before the ban was even more powerful, they were killed by the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" with a box office plundering attitude.

The media compromised.

But this time it was different. After Hugo confirmed that the hero's protagonist was led by Hugo, several newspapers and magazines led by "New York Post", "National Inquirer", "Daily News", "Houston Chronicle" and "USA Today" led the campaign to teach Hugo a hard lesson.

They will not report any kind of "Death-in-law Walk"!

The reason why the "New York Post" they chose "Death Inmate Walking" is very complicated, but also very simple.

First of all, the main creative lineup of the movie has limited influence. Tim has a wide connection in the circle, but he has always been a tepid and good-looking person, and his friendship with everyone is limited. Although Susan is quite influential, as an actress, her connections and influence radiation are also very limited.

Secondly, although this is a project under Steven Spielberg, everyone knows that he invested in Hugo's face, so he must not be so concerned about this project. A $10 million investment is not painful. What's more, this is a work under DreamWorks. DreamWorks, which has just been established for half a year, does not have so much energy and resources to invest in a low-cost work like "Death-Based Walk". This is also an important reason why DreamWorks chose independent films with low investment in the first two works.

Last and most important point, "Death-infernal Affairs" itself is not a work with potential, just like "before sunrise". Even if this type of literary and artistic work is extremely famous, no matter how powerful the actors are, its influence is limited. The 1990s were never the era when independent films shine, because the time has not yet come, and after "pulp novels" make a fortune, it still takes time to make the environment change.

Simply put, "Death Prison Walk" is a soft persimmon. It is impossible for an uproar like "life and death speed" and "Seattle Night Without Sleeping" to occur at least very unlikely.

Moreover, this time they were fully prepared. They were ready to start the filming, finishing, and later, to the early promotion of the movie, and the release of the movie.

This is the information age. When a movie lacks the support of the media, it is almost impossible to open up the situation. The reporters want to see what kind of achievements the "Death Prisoner Walk" will create, and whether Hugo is willing to lower his proud head and beg for the reporter's interview. They are all looking forward to the arrival of this day.

In other words, the uncrowned kings are all looking forward to this day.

Therefore, when newspapers such as the New York Post launched this campaign, they needed to receive responses from many newspapers. As the Los Angeles Times' biggest competitor on the West Coast, the San Francisco Chronicle is very happy to cooperate to attack its competitors' aces; as the most humorous of the top ten newspapers in the United States, the Chicago Tribune, which has the most humorous sense of sales in the United States, gave gloating support. They were quite curious about what the uncrowned kings would do to bully a soft persimmon with only $10 million. It was originally a victory, and what was even more interesting is that the result of bullying the small by bullying the small by the big.

In addition, many neutral media also expressed their support, not because they hated Hugo so much, but because "Death-infernal stroll" has no gimmicks worth reporting, so they simply stopped reporting and went with the flow to see what would happen, maybe there would be a burst at that time.

But it is obviously impossible to make all media "shut up". Not to mention that Hugo's powerful appeal has been supported by a large number of media, even if there is a controversy, many media are willing to speak for Hugo, let alone the ridiculous situation in this current situation; even if it is just the appeal of the three media, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, is enough to influence the direction of the entire public opinion.

This is the weirdest part of the movement: The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times all shut up, and other media that support Hugo have shut up, and even the Los Angeles Times just reported the newsletter.

Such a situation makes the "Death Prisoner Walk" look like a college student pulling his classmates to shoot a graduation design project. From cast to scripts, there is nothing worth paying attention to, so even local newspapers and school magazines are unwilling to report. Even without Hugo, relying on the influence of Tim and Susan, such a situation should not occur.

In fact, the Los Angeles Times was originally preparing for a formal report. Although there was no full page, there was indeed a half-page arrangement. Nicholas wrote a special report for this. He interviewed Tim and expressed great expectations for the sparks generated by the rival scene between Hugo and Susan.

In addition, the New York Times has also prepared official reports. They entered the report from Steven's perspective and discussed the reasons why he chose the "Death-in-law Walk" project. This will also be a special article and will be published in an important position.

But at the last moment, Rick persuaded the New York Times to withdraw the report, and the Los Angeles Times also changed the detailed report to an official press release, so the reports were removed. News media including the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and other news outlets that have good cooperative relationships with Hugo and Endeavor Elite Brokerage were all called by Rick and removed the report.

That's why this has created a strange and quiet situation now.

Rick learned about the New York Post’s plan from Daws. He knew that the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times had prepared relevant reports. If a confrontation was to form, it was not difficult. He even had a way to join forces with innovative artist agency to make the news of "Death-inmate Walking" overwhelming. But in this way, the New York Post’s plan succeeded: they were the cheap and behaved, and became the focus of the topic without any effort.

Rick thought about it carefully. First, "Death Prisoner Walking" originally required a relatively quiet environment, which is an independent film that does not require much attention; second, Hugo also needs a quiet environment to study acting skills, and the harassment of reporters is what he needs the least now.

Thinking about this, the media's cold treatment actually meets their needs, so why not just follow the trend and make all news media completely shut up. This will make the position of the "New York Post" awkward: there is really no news, so will they report it or continue to not report it? If it continues to report it, then where is the value of the news? The purpose of their campaign was to disgust Hugo, but the ultimate goal is to achieve explosive points and win sales. As long as they can gain benefits, they don't care what Hugo did.

So, after Rick obtained the consent of Tim, Steven and others, he created such a situation.

All media collectively shut up, all media! So, what should the "New York Post" and others do now?
Chapter completed!
