Chapter 1281 1281 There is no winner
The entire press is now in a state of turmoil. Although they can push all their mistakes to the "National Inquirer" and Anthony, the people are not fools without IQ. The process of this incident was presented to everyone so clearly and completely. The dilemma faced by Hugo formed a direct and sharp contrast with the media's gloating face, which really made any excuse pale and powerless.
The reporters can clearly feel that the eyes that fall on them are full of playfulness and contempt. This sight is not threatening, but it makes them feel uncomfortable all over. The reporter certificates, cameras, and cameras that originally made them extremely proud have become hot potatoes at this moment. They only hope that their identity as reporters will not be recognized.
From the uncrowned king to the crossing rat, such a huge gap has really made media practitioners congested. How have they ever encountered such a situation? But this is the social reality and the consequences that they must bear for quick success and instant benefits.
Under such a situation, the New York Post, USA Today, Houston Chronicle and other banned alliances that have always insisted on not joining the battle are profitable. In the difficult situation, they chose to watch coldly, so that the artillery fire did not affect them this time.
But this is not the case.
Obviously, this public opinion storm is targeting all news media. The "New York Post" and other ban alliances as national newspapers. They and the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" shoulder the responsibility of public opinion leaders. Their cold eyes are the dereliction of duty in social supervision. Naturally, they cannot protect themselves from the accusations other media need to face.
Putting aside this, the "New York Post", "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle" and other ban alliances did not gain any advantage, and it could even be said to have suffered heavy losses.
Why did Colin Meller reject Brandon's proposal for reporting? At the peak of the news, why did newspapers such as the New York Post not mention it at all? Of course, it was not because they were not interested, nor because of their sense of social responsibility, but because they were trying to ban Hugo and "death prisoners' walk".
These newspapers taught Hugo a hard lesson in order to complete the ban, so they endured the extremely torture and heavy pressure and ignored the entire news incident. This time the silence was strategically important to several newspapers.
But now, with the whole incident, the ban on the alliance is useless.
Hugo needs to undergo psychological treatment due to too much investment during filming, which can definitely be called a big news. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Hugo, the best actor in Cannes, is currently a representative figure of Hollywood's under 35 years old. In March this year, Hugo also became a popular candidate for the Oscar winner. Although Hugo witnessed Tom Hanks's best actor for successive success and failed to become the first person to win the first actor under 30 years old, Hugo's strength is still obvious to all.
So, what kind of character and what kind of script can actually make Hugo go crazy? Overnight, the discussion about "Death Prison Walk" spread uncontrollably.
When people learned about it, they found that "Death Prisoner Walking" seemed to appear out of thin air. No one knew when Hugo took on this movie, no one knew any news about the entire crew, and no one knew what Hugo's character and the whole story were all about. Before that, even a clue was revealed in the media.
Of course, ordinary people would not think that the news media had banned the news. They would take it for granted that the crew's confidentiality measures were in place and deliberately took the mysterious route, so they quietly started filming. This also stimulated the curiosity of the people.
At this time, news media such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New Yorker all saw the opportunity and made detailed and vivid reports on the "Death-inmate Walking", and introduced the entire crew thoroughly, revealing the mysterious veil bit by bit.
Produced by Steven Spielberg! Directed by Tim Robbins! Starring Susan Sarandon and Hugo Lancaster! Adapted from real historical events! Telling a story about the self-salvation of death row prisoners! Exploring the significance of the existence of the death penalty!
After every detail was released, people's surprise went a step further. Such a work with countless gimmicks had no sound before, which was really a miracle.
More importantly, the two starring Susan and Hugo are both powerful Oscar-level actors, and even Tim, as director, is not inferior. They gather in such a heavy and profound script, and the sparks that collide with are enough chemical effects that everyone expects.
Especially when people learned that this was adapted from real events, countless people were curious about the role played by Hugo, and even more curious about the context and outline of the entire story. Driven by the recent hot topics, the sales of the original book "Death Prison Walking" written by Sister Helen Prekin soared, and in just one week it sold 30,000 copies, which was really amazing.
Everyone tried to understand the prototype of the character played by Hugo and what kind of difficult challenges Hugo faced.
In just two weeks, "Death Prisoner Walking" has become the most popular work recently. Even before the crew has finished filming, some people think that this work will make a difference at this year's major award ceremony. Such a work with strong players, profound themes and strong artistic atmosphere can definitely be said to be the favorite of the academic scholars.
With the self-reflection of the news media, the attention index of "Deathly Walk" has continued to heat up, even surpassing the final work in the later period of the summer season, and has become the most anticipated work for many viewers in the second half of the year: everyone is curious about what level of movie Hugo has dedicated. The huge pressure of expectation continues to increase with the expansion of the entire event, which also makes the topic of "Deathly Walk" break the charts directly.
It is obvious that the "death prisoner walks" is like this.
If the crew had announced the startup news of "Death Prisoner Walk" step by step before this, it would definitely cause discussion. After all, the entire production cast was too huge, but the effect would not be as sensation as today.
People will pay attention to this work, but at the same time they will also notice that it is just a work with an investment of 10 million US dollars, but just a low-cost literary work. There are no similar works in the North American film market every year, and there are not many gimmicks in the acting showdown between the two starring actors.
Instead, it will make people feel a little disappointed. Hugo chose a low-cost investment work instead of a commercial blockbuster like "Future Water World". Although "Future Water World" is a mess, people are very curious about what Hugo will perform in such a big production and whether it can turn the tide.
In this way, the focus is completely blurred and the topic is not enough. But it is completely different at this time.
When the National Inquiry News focused on "Hugo crazy", the development direction and fundamental nature of the entire topic changed drastically.
What people care about is no longer the cost of the movie or the lineup of the film, but the fact that the film actually poured so much effort into the actors, even Hugo was intoxicated. What does this mean? On the one hand, it shows that the acting showdown in the movie is amazing and exciting; on the other hand, it shows that the character's test of acting skills is unprecedented, so that the actors devote themselves to themselves and challenge their own limits.
People are curious about Hugo's performance, curious about the showdown of actors, curious about the quality of the finished products, and the depth of the works... Thanks to Hugo's frequent excellent works in the past few years, not only is the performance impressive, but the thickness of the works is also worthy of consideration. So how much power can a work like "Death-in-law Walk" be selected by Hugo?
What's more, this is DreamWorks' second work.
The original focus has become a bonus store at this time, and the original weakness is not worthy of explanation at this time. The original point is even more infinitely magnified at this time.
"Death Prisoner Walking" easily achieved unparalleled publicity effects. This is an effect that cannot be achieved even if it costs tens of millions of publicity costs. It is also a positive superposition effect, which is definitely a great victory.
For Colin, the original idea of banning the alliance was bankrupt at this time, and the "Death-infernal Affairs" had no need for any form of publicity, and it was already extremely attractive. Every move of the movie would attract the audience's attention, let alone the attention of the movie when it was released.
Furthermore, no one will underestimate the huge connections represented by the three giants of DreamWorks. Now that the containment of the ban on the alliance has been completely disintegrated, will they still have an advantage when the "Death Guards Walk" is released? No, obviously not. If they do not report it at that time, they will only become the targets of being excluded; and if they report it, the ban on the alliance will become a huge joke.
The situation where advancement could be attacked and retreated and defended has now become a shackle that imprisons oneself. Although there is no communication between the banned alliances, they all know clearly that all this is over. Regardless of whether they continue to ban them or not, the crew of "Death Prison Walking" will not care. On the contrary, the so-called banned alliance will now become the target of laughter made by their colleagues.
Of course, Colin can at least be thankful that the National Enquirer and Anthony attracted most of the firepower, and they would not be too embarrassed.
This situation made Colin feel like he was in his throat. The New York Post completely lost the initiative in this incident. If they reported it, they would face the current situation that thousands of people were criticized; if they did not report it, they would lose their wife and soldiers. What was even more speechless was that if they reported it, at least the sales volume in the previous few issues would have broken the charts, but now they have gained nothing.
