Chapter 699: 699
"Hugo Lancaster's hot temper refused to interview, saying that he refused to cooperate with the media"
The news title of the New York Post on the second day seemed very sensational, attracting the attention of countless people. All news media know that what happened in the hospital yesterday was impossible to hide and they were unwilling to hide it. What a major explosion point, it can definitely drive sales forcefully; but the question is, how should they report it?
Without media, they would foolishly pour dirty water on themselves. Of course, they would not take the initiative to take the blame for "hospitable hospitals". Hugo, a natural scapegoat, is naturally the best choice. But the problem is that the media knows that under the afterglow of "witch trial", it is definitely not feasible to speak vernacularly, so how to report, what angle and what wording are the most effective has become the focus of serious consideration among all media.
Although the New York Post was severely damaged in the previous "Witch Trial", they were always the top ten newspapers in the United States, and the precipitation of nearly two centuries has given them enough foundation to recover quickly, so they naturally concentrated their firepower to attack Hugo.
"Lancaster came to a hospital in Burbank for routine examination. His arrival made the hospital in chaos. The gathering of medical staff, patients, and relatives visiting the hospital made the quiet hospital extremely noisy, and even disturbed the rest and settlement of other patients in recuperation, which undoubtedly had a huge bad impact.
When the reporters arrived at the hospital to try to interview Lancaster and understand the reasons for the routine examination in Lancaster, Lancaster showed an extremely bad attitude. He shouted at the reporters directly at the hospital, not only refusing to cooperate, but also rebuked the reporters severely, claiming that he would never accept any interviews, and even rejected the media interviews instead of the "Speed of Life and Death" crew, with an extremely bad attitude. This undoubtedly made the noise at the scene reach a more terrifying level, attracting more people's attention and discussion, which seriously affected the rest of other patients and may even lead to irreparable serious consequences.
Lancaster shifted all these responsibilities to the reporter, believing that it was the reporter's behavior of entering the hospital, which created chaos, but Lancaster ignored it. His refusal to cooperate made the situation even more chaotic and triggered direct and head-on conflict, which was undoubtedly an irresponsible manifestation.
As a public figure, Lancaster's sunny, gentlemanly and humble image undoubtedly has positive significance to the people. He also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining a good image and needs to spread the correct information to the people with an example. But undoubtedly, Lancaster's behavior today did not play such a role.
After experiencing the success of the "Schindler's List" and the band, Lancaster is undoubtedly one of the most popular artists now, but the media's pursuit has made him lose his patience and attitude. His hot temper and poor personality make people recall Lancaster two years ago. The out-of-control under the spotlight chase once caused Lancaster to fall into the disaster of poison, alcohol, violence and racing. Now Lancaster is trapped in the quagmire of bad temper. His terrible attitude of refusing to cooperate with the media is likely to have unpredictable negative results for his next career development."
I have to say that the experienced masters of the "New York Post" are basically in line with the facts. The only loophole is that they did not tell the quarrels and provocations of reporters. This is the most clever lie. Ninety percent are true and 10 percent are false, which is likely to lead to a completely different trend in the entire fact.
The New York Post summarized all the mistakes to Hugo's hot temper, believing that Hugo was lost by the spotlight, which led to his temper resurfacing again. They even expressed their deep concerns at the end of the report.
But in fact, readers who have finished reading the New York Post will think that the mistake lies in Hugo, and they think that Hugo is indeed playing a big temper. Readers cannot see the reason why Hugo enters the hospital, nor the noise created by reporters, nor can they see the efforts made by Hugo to maintain the quietness of the hospital. They will only notice the only keyword, "temper".
In this way, public opinion will naturally develop in a direction that is unfavorable to Hugo, and the New York Post will not involve itself in the suspicion of "witch trial". This trick is indeed clever.
The New York Post report is undoubtedly the best. Relatively speaking, the National Inquiry News, which did not arrive at the scene for interviews, also wrote news based on the thread newspaper, and their reports seemed to be several lower than the number of paragraphs, which is consistent with their taste and positioning.
The National Inquiry News focused the focus of the report on the point of "the crew refuses to interview with the 'life and death hour'. The New York Post blurted this focus when reporting. When they said that Hugo refused to media interviews, the "media" here used odd numbers, but in fact they were talking about themselves, but they didn't point them out.
The National Inquiry News focused on the report. Hugo was irritable in an interview and said furiously that the crew of "life and death hour" will also refuse interviews from all media in the future. "Mr. Bond" Anthony Stewart, who wrote the news, said that Hugo will provoke all media, believing that the "life and death hour" can still be successful even without media publicity.
Anthony then made a news link, mentioning the report from the Los Angeles Times not long ago, and he once again discussed the possibility that the box office of "Speed of Life and Death" exceeded 100 million. However, obviously, Anthony believes that this is a difficult wish to achieve, not only because the movie "Speed of Life and Death" itself does not have any highlights worth looking forward to, but also because Hugo's current attitude of being a big shot cannot provide any help.
At the end of this report, Anthony also once again proposed, "Can the North American box office of 'life and death hour' really cross the 100 million threshold? I doubt, strongly doubt."
The report of the "National Inquiry" is obviously not clever enough. After all, the topic of "the entire "Speed of Life and Death" crew refuses to interview" is easily exposed. Moreover, once the "Speed of Life and Death" crew stands out, or even the 20th Century Fox behind them, the entire situation will change immediately.
However, this report from the National Inquiry newspaper still attracted a lot of attention, because Anthony smartly brought the box office topic to the public's attention again, and the box office issue of "life and death speed" has once again become the focus of hot discussion. More importantly, the possibility of the box office of "life and death speed" exceeding 100 million is still not favored.
The two reports of the New York Post and the National Inquirer undoubtedly completely shifted the anger. The former shifted people's attention to Hugo's bad temper and big names, while the latter once again turned the box office issue of "life and death speed" into the focus.
The capabilities of the news media have been witnessed again. They are always able to complicate a simple thing and develop a complex thing in a direction that is beneficial to them, not to mention their outstanding ability to reverse right and wrong.
When these two reports came out, people's discussions immediately became noisy, and public opinion seemed to be developing in a direction that Hugo was unfavorable. The box office discussion about "life and death speed" became lively. However, the current general public opinion trend still believes that "life and death speed" is almost impossible to get a box office of 100 million US dollars, and it is even a "Chicago Tribune" ridiculed, "It should be thankful that this movie can get a box office of 3,000 US dollars and maintain the cost balance."
Obviously, from a normal perspective, "Speed of Life and Death" does not really have any highlights worth betting on people, but this is one of the charms of Hollywood. No one can predict the success or failure of any work, whether it is box office or reputation, which is the normal law of the mature film market.
Therefore, from another perspective, the "speed of life and death" has just started filming, and it has caused so much discussion, which is undoubtedly beneficial to the promotion after the movie is released. The law of "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley" is obviously not applicable in Hollywood. Promotion and exposure are the truth of the work creating good results.
At the same time, the discussion about Hugo's bad temper has become more and more lively. People generally believe that the attention of the spotlight may make Hugo lose his sight again. From this we can see that even though Hugo's image has been very good in the past two years and his gentle and polite image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, the previous "bad record" dark history still makes people involuntarily wonder: Is he resurrected from the old ways?
To make matters worse, the Chicago Tribune put forward a brand new view, "missing the 36th Grammy Newcomer of the Year Award, obviously losing the weight of Hugo."
This not only invisibly confirms people's speculation that Hugo's mentality is unbalanced, but also mocks Hugo. The Chicago Tribune believes that Hugo firmly stated that he would not attend the Grammy Awards, but now he has lost the award and his mentality is unbalanced. This is undoubtedly a contradiction and a two-faced performance, which gives the Chicago Tribune a strong focus on attacking Hugo.
The Chicago Tribune's move to divert the focus was truly brilliant. In an instant, a new discussion sparked again, even surpassing the focus created by the "New York Post" before, attracting the attention of many professional music magazines.
