The first to attack was "Entertainment Weekly", which was founded in 1990. This entertainment magazine, which has just entered its third year, is the fastest-growing subscription magazine in the entire market and now has a huge influence in Los Angeles.

"Entertainment Weekly" compiled Hugo's big brand incident into a book, pointing out that Hugo was not a matter of being a big brand for a day or two, and obviously had a long time ago. With the popularity of "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women", Hugo's attitude towards fans during the promotional period has gradually changed, from diligence at the beginning to repeatedly refusing fans to sign and take photos at the program recording site, and more than once or twice. The most specific one is the true testimony from a fan.

The fan named Bob Ward (Bob.word) is from Chicago. He met Hugo while recording the "Opra talk show". He said that Hugo was idle in shopping at that time, and was dressed in formal clothes and etiquette, but he refused his request for taking photos and signing, and even refused the request for handshake, which disappointed him and even felt angry.

"Entertainment Weekly" stated that the occurrence of the Bob incident was very close to the time point of the Yonghuo Street containment incident. No matter what happened that night, Hugo was no longer willing to give a cordial response in the face of fans' support. This is an indisputable fact. The magazine also pointed out that Hugo's reaction gradually became clear with the film's achievements. This big-name behavior that is synchronized with the rising speed of popularity is really obvious, and it makes people worry: If Hugo achieves better results in the future, will there be more exaggerated and harsh behavior?

This report on "Entertainment Weekly" is actually very normal. Similar news appears almost every once in a while. How an artist gets along with his fans is a problem. Especially in a country like the United States that advocates personality and protects **, fans will think that his request has not been responded to by the artist, which is disrespectful to him; similar artists will also think that their private life has been violated, and during non-working hours, he can only respond to fans within the allowable range. Such two concepts are very prone to conflict, so almost every artist will encounter fan incidents to more or less.

If this is the case, at other times, Hugo's behavior could not be considered a "big brand", but it can only be said to be overwhelmed by popularity. However, this report from "Entertainment Weekly" appeared after the Golden Globes celebration banquet, which seemed intriguing, and undoubtedly opened the curtain for the "big brand suspicion", and subsequent reports made this suspicion gradually become a reality.

The National Inquiry News followed closely and revealed the big-name incidents of Hugo being late for many times. During the filming of "Yihai Xiongfeng", the incident that he was late on the first day of the crew was exposed. It also reported that the Alje incident changed its appearance. The report pointed out that Hugo was domineering to Alje and put forward many excessive demands, which made Alje embarrassed, which also led to Alje losing his job.

Not only that, but what is even more surprising is that the "National Inquirer" actually revealed that Hugo missed the "Faith World" audition because of his lateness. In the report, writer Anthony Stewart pointed out that Hugo was an hour late, which completely angered the producer Arnold Copylson, who originally valued him very much, and ended up in a bad mood. This kind of late behavior is obviously a manifestation of undedication and lacks respect for the producer.

However, in this incident, Anthony's report on "The Desperate World" audition time was the day before the Golden Globes, which was No. 23. In addition, Hugo also described in a colorful way that the party was party all night long and then set off from Malibu to audition for Universal Studios, which led to lateness.

The big-name behavior of "playing with things and losing one's ambition" is now becoming more and more authentic.

Immediately afterwards, the famous supermarket gossip tabloid "Global" once again boldly broke the news that Hugo has not accepted a new script for half a year since "Yihai Xiongfeng". It was because he raised his own value and did not accept a pay of 8 million yuan, which led to production companies retreating, and Hugo's pickyness about the scripts has reached a harsh level. The "Global" pointed out that scripts including "sugar-coated trap", "Seattle sleeping at night", "Faithless World" were willing to invite Hugo to play the male lead, but no agreement was reached in terms of pay, and Hugo also put forward changes to the scripts, which is a huge challenge for the director and producer authority, so the result was that Hugo's performance rose step by step after the release of the movie, but never received new works.

The "big brand suspicion" that pushed this time to its peak was the "National Inquiry" three days later. This supermarket gossip tabloid broke out a huge scandal for the second time. This news pointed out that Hugo is actually very close to the cooperation of a work. This work invested 60 million US dollars and invited big-name directors and top-notch lineups to star in it. It is obviously a work created with ambitions.

But Hugo finally missed the work, because the reason was not the problem of pay that people speculated, but because Hugo tried to interfere with the casting work of the crew.

Anthony, who wrote this news again, has become a storm in the news incident. He condemned Hugo righteously in the report. "Hugo tried to arrange a male friend and a female friend to the main role of the crew, which forced the cooperation that had already entered the signing stage to be interrupted. The director and producer are famous people in the industry who have achieved great achievements. He was not only shocked but also very indignant about Hugo's behavior. Although Hugo has achieved good results, he is only a young actor after all and is not qualified to point fingers at the casting of the crew. This directly led to the breakdown of the cooperation, Hugo was abandoned and completely lost to this work."

Although Anthony did not directly write the name of the work in the report, it is generally speculated that this work is a "sugar-coated trap" because it is Hugo's closest work in the past two months. Director Sidney Pollack meets Anthony's description. Sidney continued to express his appreciation for Hugo during the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", which made people think that Hugo's next work is likely to be a "sugar-coated trap". In this process, no other strong competitors appeared, which proves this statement. But after 1993, the cooperation between Hugo and the "sugar-coated trap" suddenly disappeared, which made people have to associate it.

In the wave of big-name frenzy, Hugo was young and ignorant, and the arrogant image of big-name suddenly became "high". Although all these were just rumors, they still had a huge impact on the public.

In fact, many media have different views on this matter.

For example, regarding the fans' affairs, most of the facts pointed out by "Entertainment Weekly" ignores one point, that is, Hugo was in a busy publicity period at that time, and he had no time to take care of his fans, so he had to take the itinerary; for example, the crew of "Yihai Xiongfeng" also came forward to clarify that Alejie was the leader of the incident and Hugo was the victim.

For example, the audition was not on the 23rd, but on the 25th. Hugo was late because of Anthony's press conference that morning. The problem was that Anthony knew what happened in the morning, and reported it the next day, and distorted the facts. There was really something tricky about it.

The pay issue has not received any positive response from anyone in the circle, and it is nonsense to intervene in the casting work of the "icing trap". Sidney did not give any positive affirmation of this matter.

These arguments also prove that the so-called "big brand suspicion" is simply a fictitious thing.

For a time, the media held their own opinions. Some people thought that Hugo was indeed playing a big shot, some people thought that this was simply too ridiculous, some people thought that this was a hype plan led by Hugo himself, and some people even believed that Hugo and Anthony colluded to direct this drama to win attention.

The messy remarks filled the news and entertainment pages this week. The fight that originally thought would cause an uproar was left behind by people. Whether Hugo was playing a big shot has become the latest focus of debate. Although some accused some people of defending, there is no doubt that all audiences are the same, some believe it, and some don’t.

The biggest impact of this incident is that most people's impression of Hugo has indeed plummeted. After all, at the center of such a storm, it is difficult for people to believe that all this is groundless. The idea that there is no wind and no waves is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Especially the so-called "big brand" incident, this is not a murder case. It can be proved by evidence, but more of an attitude expressed by artists, so basically everyone has their own judgment.

Hugo became the center of whirlpool of public opinion. This was expected after the celebration banquet, but it was not the result that Hugo and Joseph expected. This also put Hugo in a terrible situation: media reporters all hoped to dig out more news from him, while film production companies did not want to attract more attention at the forefront. This made Hugo, who was already at home, probably would have to rest for a while.

Originally, I thought that the success of "smelling fragrance to recognize women" and "the heroic spirit of righteousness" would make Hugo's career soar, but now it seems that not only does not have a positive reaction, but instead verifies the curse of "there are many people who are famous", which makes Hugo suffer from a lot of right and wrong, and it is not easy to get out in a short period of time.

For the past week, Hugo has been followed and entangled by reporters when he appears anywhere. He can't even find a minute of quietness, which makes Hugo's mood irritated.
