Colin Meller's heart was bleeding, and Brandon Brian's phone almost stabbed his chest like a dagger. Then he stirred it twice, and made a big hole, and the blood flowed downwards. The stinging sensation almost made him bite his lips.

"Hugo is crazy", this news can almost be said to be tsunami-like. Even outsiders know that once this matter is confirmed, not only Hollywood, but almost the entire United States will be riots, but even Europe will be affected. As the artist with the most powerful, far-reaching influence and the strongest appeal in recent years, Hugo's every move can trigger a chain reaction and bring about a violent shock.

Someone once joked that Hugo alone maintains one-tenth of the profits of the American entertainment industry today. This is actually not a joke, but more like a fact. Hugo is not just an actor or a singer, but his contributions are not just movie box office, album sales, and tour box office. From the agent industry to the film production industry, from the change in actor pay to the influence of the media industry, the interests behind the name "Hugo Lancaster" almost cover the entire entertainment industry.

The most direct thing is that Hugo completely refused media access during the filming of the "Seven Deadly Sins". Although the media has been hyping Hugo's big name and trying to divert the focus, the fact is that since Hugo has not received any media access in the past three months, even the surrounding news has almost disappeared. During this period, the sales of newspapers and magazines in the Greater Los Angeles area have dropped by 14 percentage points. The economic benefits contained in this can be seen.

Therefore, when the "Death Prisoner Walk" starts filming, the media will "reasonably" join forces to ban Hugo. They need to let Hugo feel the existence of the "uncrowned king", not only for breathing, but also for future cooperation and development.

This is the status quo: the media is trying to join forces to ban Hugo and teach Hugo a lesson, which is crucial to major news media. Even if they all know that "Death-in-law walk" itself does not need attention, their attitude must be presented accurately.

"Death-infernal Affairs" has started filming for a month in a blink of an eye, and the reports about the crew completely disappeared, which is completely inconsistent with the crew's cast lineup. As long as they persist, the movie begins to carry out preliminary publicity, especially when the movie tries to make a difference at major awards ceremony, the crew will start to take the initiative to bow their heads and beg for the media to cooperate. They need the cooperation of the media to maximize their interests, because this is the rules of this circle and the way this circle works.

Yes, as long as they stick to it...

Colin thought silently in his heart, but in anger and pain in an instant, he almost threw the phone away.

As long as you persist for a while, just a little longer, the crew of "Death Prisoners Walk" will be the first to be unable to hold on. Whether it is Steven Spielberg using his influence to put pressure on the "Los Angeles Times" or "New York Times" to break the deadlock, the media that banned Hugo will win their own victory with a high attitude, and even if they lift the ban, it is because of the sake of Steven or the bigwigs in the industry. At that time, they will occupy an invincible place and may even force Hugo to bow to them.

What a wonderful victory that would be.

But now the situation is different. "Hugo is crazy", this news will undoubtedly dominate the headlines of major news for a long time. Even if the news is clarified later, the impact has spread, and the news media that are reporting has also gained the attention and profits they want.

Faced with such a news, it is difficult for media practitioners to withstand the temptation. It is like a gold mine in front of you that has been exposed on the surface. Even if you know that there are many competitors next to you, and even if you know that digging gold mines with bare hands is likely to make your hands bloody, you will still rush forward without hesitation. People die for money, and birds die for food. This is the iron rule of nature.

Colin is no exception. He feels like he is being roasted on fire. Colin even suspects that this news is a fake news deliberately released by the crew of "Death Guards Walking". The purpose is to alienate the "banning alliance" and let major media focus their attention on the crew.

Although Colin knew that this possibility was very small, because Hugo hated the most hype, Hugo would not agree, and Tim and Steven were Hugo's friends, and they would not force Hugo; the timing of this news was too subtle, which almost made Colin want to slaughter himself.

But in the end, Colin decided to give up this report opportunity, which was a decision he had to make.

Banning Hugo and banning "Death-inmate Walking" is not a whim. Colin still hopes to stick to it. It is precisely because he knows how much focus and interests Hugo maintains, so he knows that he must gain the upper hand in the future confrontation with Hugo. Because the "New York Post" has no way out.

The box office battle of "life and death speed" made the New York Post lose the opportunity to interview Hugo. Although Hugo had banned the New York Post during the Witch Trial, the bet was an official end, and even made the New York Post lose the possibility of further improving its relationship with the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.

And now everyone realizes what the Engrescent Elite Brokerage Company represents.

Therefore, this ban on the alliance is the key to Colin taking the initiative. The best result is to break the ice wall and let the New York Post join the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company again; the worst result is to ease the relationship and let the New York Post regain its confidence and attitude in the process of confronting Hugo.

Colin has no way out.

What's more, Hugo is really crazy? Colin strongly doubted the authenticity of the news. Not to mention whether the news was a smoke bomb released by the crew of "Death-inmate Walking", but Anthony's investigation of the source of these news cannot resist scrutiny. It is not a big problem for supermarket gossip tabloids like the National Inquiry newspaper to report. At least Anthony still has a source of information, not fabricating it out of thin air; but the "New York Post" cannot do it, and they cannot afford the consequences of "this is a fake news."

Finally, Colin made a decision: not to report.

This is almost equivalent to cutting a piece of Colin's meat. What's even more terrifying is that not only the "New York Post" cannot report it, but Colin also has to persuade large national newspapers such as "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle", "Daily News", and "Chicago Tribune" to not report it, because this is a "ban alliance" and must be kept in a consistent manner, otherwise the "New York Post" will have no effect.

This is not only about cutting a piece of Colin, but also about cutting a lot of pieces of meat.

Brandon knew Colin's struggle and entanglement because his situation was not much better. Although the "National Inquirer" never took "reporting the truth" as his mission, they even solemnly reported alien news without any evidence, because they were supermarket tabloids, providing housewives with tools to prepare baskets and carts for housewives; but he had to be careful and be careful when it came to Hugo.

"Tony, I can use your opinion as a reference." Brandon sighed, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Anthony only felt that the throbbing in his head was getting worse and worse. As long as he thought about Hugo, he felt uncomfortable all over. But... Anthony thought carefully and made up his mind, "Report! Why not report!" Anthony knew that as long as he was in this industry, it was impossible not to face Hugo. What's more, Hugo couldn't afford to lose now, and the higher his status, the more he had, the more restrained it. Compared to Hugo, he and the "National Inquirer" could afford to lose.

"Brendon, I think we should report it." Anthony closed his eyes regardless and said, "This news is clearly a big deal. Why don't we report it? It's a fool to have money but not make money. What's more, we can't always be so hindered, whether it's facing Hugo or others."

Brandon sighed again, he knew that what Anthony said was true... Finally, Brandon also bit his teeth and said directly, "Deng! Write it today, we will log in tomorrow! All your colleagues are taking good care of you, don't leak the news!"

Since he decided to report it, he naturally had to play the big one. Anthony asked several colleagues during the process of inquiring about the news, and he had to pay them a hush fee to ensure that the news was exclusive to the "National Inquiry". As for the "New York Post", Colin is not a fool.

After hanging up the phone, Anthony calmed down. This may be the best opportunity for him to fight back against Hugo after the witch trial, and maybe it was only one chance, so he had to calm down. Anthony's brain began to run quickly, and then called a few phone calls. He had to learn more about the details of "Hugo crazy", so that even making up stories would be more real.

At the same time, Colin was also making a phone call quickly. He knew how quickly the news spread in this line. Perhaps someone had leaked the news when he was hesitating here. Maybe someone in the "banning alliance" could not resist the temptation. What about? So, for Colin, every second, it was necessary to fight.
