When this episode of "Tonight Show" was aired, a line of words appeared before the subtitles of the end-of-the-show staff appeared, "I would like to dedicate this film to Jenny Davis and the Grayson Gift Foundation", and then an icon of a rainbow windmill appeared at the end of the subtitles.

This line of subtitles stayed for about three seconds before slowly disappearing, but triggered an unimaginable subsequent reaction.

When the Tonight Show was broadcast, it actually called on 9.17 million viewers to sit in front of the TV at 11:30 pm to watch. This not only easily broke the record of the number of viewers in the "Tonight Show" "Speed ​​Speed ​​of Life and Death" special "Speed" of 783 last year, but once again set the highest ratings in the post-Johnny Carson era; and the results also increased significantly, which was almost an incredible result for late-night talk shows.

Due to the "Death Guard Walk" and the topic effect of Hugo, countless viewers stayed in front of the TV, hoping to know the truth about the Hugo incident in August as soon as possible from the live TV broadcast. What is even more rare is that between the ratings of 18 and 49 years old, "Tonight Show" actually got a rating of 4.2, which significantly exceeded the data of the special episode last year, and even approached the ratings of Johnny Carson on the night he left the "Tonight Show" in 1992.

This shows that Hugo's unparalleled powerful appeal among young people.

But what surprised everyone was that the highest ratings of the "Tonight Show" were not the clarification moment of the Hugo incident, but the moment when Hugo and Jay were bickering about the topic of Brad. Nine and nine hundred and ninety thousand viewers watched the clip in less than two minutes, which was approaching the threshold of 10 million viewers!

This also makes people clearly feel that the showdown between Hugo and Brad is still a hot topic, even after the release of "Seven Deadly Sins", the topic seems to have disappeared for a long time.

Relying on a series of new record-breaking results, "Tonight Show" easily defeated two competitors "David Letterman's Late Night Show" and "Political Incorrect". The ratings of these two shows are both below three million, and even less than one-third of the "Tonight Show"'s results. Such a strong gap can almost be said to be a sweep!

After the broadcast of "Tonight Show", all topics about "Death Prisoner Walking" were answered positively. Hugo's dedication, calmness, and concentration were recognized by the audience. In particular, Hugo repeatedly emphasized that he was not a professional actor or a talented actor, which also made people clearly feel Hugo's efforts. This also made Hugo appear more normal.

People couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that Hugo is also an ordinary person.

Especially the "Tonight Show" and the "Friends" that aired later, the deified halo around Hugo suddenly faded a lot, which not only made Hugo more affinity, but also narrowed the distance between Hugo and ordinary audiences. This was also the unexpected result of Rick Rosen. It can only be said that the Matthew effect was indeed very considerable after it played an active role.

However, due to the sensitivity and special nature of the "Hugo incident", people cannot have more discussions. After going over and over again, they are just those contents, so the related topics are not as many as imagined. This is also an important reason why Rick insists that Hugo does not need to respond immediately. He knows that Hugo needs time to buffer, and he does not want people to put too much pressure on Hugo. But it is certain that the heat of the discussion on "Death Prison Walk" has broken the chart again, and the movie tickets for the first week were as Hugo said: It is hard to get a ticket!

In addition, the important reason why "Tonight Show" has achieved such high ratings is the direct cooperation between Hugo and Jie. Many viewers told NBC TV that Hugo's witty words and Jie's wit and cunning can be said to be a match made in heaven. Even after "Friends" was broadcast, people gave high praise to Hugo's comedy talent, and some people suggested that Hugo and Jie start a brand new comedy talk show together, which is really ridiculous and laughable. Everyone knows that this is impossible.

The one who really attracted much attention after the broadcast of "Tonight Show" was precisely Jenny Davis, who was not long in length.

Although Hugo didn't mention Jenny in the show, his words were very simple and sincere. The sentence "Hugo, am I going to die?" made countless viewers in front of the TV look red.

In an instant, the problem of seriously ill children became the focus of social attention. News media reported on this topic one after another. For a time, news about related topics continued, continuing the heat of the "Tonight Show" night, and in a blink of an eye, the children became the center of the topic.

After the media reported it, people realized that the problem of medical assistance for children was facing such great difficulties.

When many difficult and complicated diseases appear in adults, it is already very difficult. Because children's physical functions have not been developed, especially many underage children, their immunity is not perfect, which makes many treatment methods impossible to use. Children who cannot be treated due to economic problems are far beyond imagination. They are not in distant Africa or South America, but around them. Every day, children are leaving the world, and they do not even have time to enjoy the innocence and joy of children.

Charitable organizations led by the Grayson Gift Foundation have become the target of people's attention, and more and more people have turned their attention to their children. Everyone knows that children are the future of society.

Among countless focuses, some media questioned whether Hugo was doing a show, because there had never been any news about Hugo's charity activities before. They believed that Hugo was just using the so-called charity activities to create his own image project, which was undoubtedly shameful and despicable.

The power of the "Hugo Incident" has gradually faded away, and the media began to resurface again. Although there are not many media that have made doubts, they are not national newspapers, and their words are very cautious, and they have made reasonable doubts and have not exceeded the boundaries; but it can still be seen that the media are still unwilling to give up their scepter willingly, even the uncrowned king will not.

However, the news was clarified later. Many organizations such as the Grayson Gift Foundation and Santa Monica Hospital defended Hugo in interviews with the media, and many volunteer colleagues also testified for Hugo. These testimonies also made the question disappear before they could be revealed.

Naturally, all eyes were focused on the topic of helping seriously ill children.

The fundraising meeting held by the Grayson Gift Foundation before Christmas actually raised four million dollars in donations! This is almost the sum of all the donations since the establishment of the Grayson Gift Foundation. It can be seen that Hugo has unparalleled influence. He just raised the "Tonight Show" and achieved such results.

This is the so-called "star effect". Even if it is a show, even if it is image public relations, it is undeniable that more and more public figures can attract more public attention and give charity activities greater power. This can also be considered as part of the added value of public figures. If silently doing charity and high-profile charity, if the essence is doing charity, then there is no difference, but if the essence deviates from the track, it is truly undesirable.

Faced with such a high amount of donations, the Grayson Gift Foundation also publicly stated that most of these expenses will sponsor the research of diseases in professional institutions, hoping to fundamentally help those children; the remaining expenses will fund those children who are not treated due to economic problems, and hope that more children can grow up carefree.

After finishing his work, Hugo stood behind the scenes in a low-key manner because he knew that the real protagonist was the children in need, not him. So Hugo just donated 300,000 US dollars to the Grayson Gift Foundation in his personal name, and then temporarily disappeared.

After the long holiday, Hugo began to read the script one after another. Although he may not be involved in the crew immediately, he can at least have a plan.

After learning that Hugo began to officially read the script, Hollywood suddenly began to rush into turmoil again. After experiencing the four works of "pulp novels", "before sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins", and "Death Prison Walk", major film companies are somewhat confused about Hugo's orientation. However, except for "Seven Deadly Sins", the other three works are completely independent works, so film companies are more inclined to submit independent scripts to Hugo.

But the problem is that film companies still hope that movies can win box office, but independent works are not that easy to achieve good results. This also makes major production companies feel a little in a dilemma.

Among many small moves, the huge plan of Twentieth Century Fox finally began to surface. Rick got the news immediately. Currently, Twentieth Century Fox is planning a large project with an investment budget of about 100 million US dollars, and the theme has chosen an epic war blockbuster. The scale will definitely be far beyond expectations.

Not only that, 20th Century Fox's surrounding movements were also very frequent. They first contacted the White House and expressed their hope to conduct on-site shooting at the White House. Then they began to discuss with NFL to try to buy the right to insert advertising during the Super Bowl. Before that, the Super Bowl had advertisements, but no movies chose to promote during the Super Bowl. This was undoubtedly the first move to take the lead and attracted countless attention. Then they also began to contact advertising sponsorships, including Apple and Coca-Cola on the list of negotiations.

The cast lineup of this work has not even been announced, and one action after another has attracted countless people's attention. But people are a little hesitant, is this the second "Terminator 2" or the second "Future Water World"?

In this case, Sergio Mimika Gozan found Hugo himself.
