The cold winds of the Pacific Ocean gradually began to envelop Los Angeles in December, and this winter Los Angeles seems to be particularly cold, with temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) significantly more days than in previous years, but the cold weather has not affected the rhythm of Hollywood's revelry, because the year is about to pass, and it is time for Hollywood to harvest the old and welcome the new. Actors began to frequent the major party duì and award ceremonies, and with the strong Christmas atmosphere, the temperature began to rise slowly throughout Los Angeles.

Since attending the premiere of "Seven Deadly Sins" in September, Hugo has been almost on complete vacation for more than two months, although during this period of time "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Apologize" (apologize) have been like a rainbow, but it has become the 1992 Golden Raspberry Awards, Hugo News has been the calmest period, it seems that all the media are abiding by their duties, trying not to bother Hugo, so that Hugo has a rare leisure time.

Although everyone knows that such days will not last long, and the media will definitely revert to the old ways when the Hugo incident in August completely cools down, but even so, Hugo enjoyed this leisurely time very much, and he even had free time to learn golf, and played football with Fokine and Leonardo a few times, which really meant to relax himself.

During this time, Hugo also participated in several charity events organized by the Grayson Gift Foundation.

Little Jenny didn't survive this winter after all, and finally left this world. Although Hugo only met this little girl once, the shock that little Jenny brought to Hugo's heart is indescribable. Hugo attended little Jenny's funeral in a private capacity, and at the funeral, he saw little Jenny's mother crying so much that he could hardly bear to look at it, and before the funeral was over, he turned and left.

Hugo had been feeling a little depressed since he returned, so when he received an invitation from Tom Cruise last week, he nodded yes without hesitation, boarded Tom's private yacht, and went out to sea for a leisurely weekend of soaking up the sun, fishing and snorkeling, and then stayed on Miami's stunning sandy beaches for two days before returning to Los Angeles until yesterday.

If it weren't for his job today, Hugo would still have continued to enjoy his rare vacation. Because the "Death Row Walk" is about to start the early publicity.

Twentieth Century Fox, who was in charge of the distribution of "Death Row Walk", carefully planned the release after seeing the film samples, but since it was an independent art film, Twentieth Century Fox did not plan to arrange a grand premiere or carry out intensive publicity, but still wanted to release it in the traditional way of art film distribution: hold screenings, see the reactions of professional film critics, and then decide on the pace of expansion.

In this way, the "Death Row Walk" actually has no propaganda mission, let alone any preliminary publicity.

But this movie is very special, because what happened to Hugo during the filming directly triggered a storm of public opinion in the past three months, which directly made countless audiences look forward to Hugo's appearance in "Death Row Walk", which also made the movie one of the most anticipated works at the end of this year before its release.

After the outbreak of the Hugo incident in August, although Endeavor Elite Agency and the crew of "Death Row Walk" issued official statements, and Rick also made an official statement on behalf of Hugo, Hugo, as a party, has never really discussed this matter in detail, and countless discussions around "Death Row Walk" have not been answered.

Therefore, Twentieth Century Fox, after internal discussions, and Rick's consent, finally decided to let Hugo give an official interview for the first and last time before the release of the film to discuss the issue head-on. As for the depth and breadth of the topic, it is up to Hugo to decide, and if the discussion is too deep or too sharp, Hugo can end the interview at any time.

In this case, the most suitable Oprah talk show was excluded, although the "Oprah talk show" has always been sensational and inspirational, and the discussion is more in-depth and emotional, but considering that the relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Hugo can only be said to be average, no one knows how the interview will go, Kevin Pence doesn't want to take risks, and Rick doesn't want to take risks.

After much hesitation, Kevin Pence personally made the decision and chose Jay Renault's "Tonight Show".

Hugo and Jie's personal relationship is known to everyone in the circle, and during the "Speed of Life and Death" promotion last year, Hugo gave Jie face, and took time to record "The Tonight Show" during the "Road to Glory" tour, and finally achieved good ratings. During this vacation, Hugo was invited by Jay's wife, Mavis, to go to Renault's house for dinner, which shows their friendship.

Strictly speaking, "The Tonight Show" is not the best option, or even the right one. But considering the particularity of this event, Kevin is still willing to believe in Jay and Hugo's personal friendship, and "The Tonight Show" is an NBC program, and NBC TV was grateful to Hugo for "Friends" not long ago, which also makes communication between senior executives much easier. At the end of the thoughtful end, Kevin still handed over the topic scale to Jay. Of course, the control is still in Hugo's hands.

When Hugo arrived at the studio in Burbank, it could be described as a familiar road, and when he saw Joseph and Samora, who were tense all over their bodies, Hugo's mood relaxed. For Joseph and Samora, they both fear that the media will lose control and crowd the NBC studio today, and even though they now have four bodyguards for Hugo, they still feel underwhelmed.

"Rick told me that I needed eight bodyguards, and I thought the proposal was acceptable." Joseph's words made Hugo almost choke on his own saliva. Eight bodyguards? That battle is too exaggerated when you think about it.

Sure enough, when they arrived outside the studio, the magnitude of more than 50 reporters almost made it impossible for the car to move forward, which was completely unprecedented for a talk show like The Tonight Show, which had regular weekly recordings, and even rivals CBS and ABC TV stations sent special reporters to arrive at the scene in the hope of being the first to get the news.

But apparently NBC TV stations will not let this exclusive be robbed, they sent a special staff out to contact, escorted Samora into the underground parking lot, and then entered the studio through the VIP passage, directly blocking all reporters.

Kevin's choice of "The Tonight Show" was to answer all the questions at once, after which Hugo would not be interviewed by any media to discuss the incident - at least during the "Death Row Walk" campaign. This is also the fundamental reason why Rick did not reject Kevin's proposal, and it is also the reason why NBC TV received Hugo with the highest specifications today.

It's absolutely exclusive!

Surrounded by NBC TV staff, four professional bodyguards, Joseph and Samora, Hugo almost entered the standby room in the posture of an aircraft carrier, such a grand scene made Hugo cry and laugh, so that when he saw Jie, who came to visit, Hugo also jokingly joked, "Shouldn't the audience who is listening to the scene today all go through the background investigation by private detectives?" ”

Jay originally wanted to tease Hugo, but Hugo preemptively attacked, and he couldn't help laughing, "Actually, the CIA only completed my interrogation yesterday." One sentence made Hugo laugh too.

In fact, all these delicate things were arranged by Rick, who spent countless efforts on the recording of the "Tonight Show", and he even planned to cancel the recording the day before yesterday, so that Hugo would stay in Miami and not come back. Hugo knew that Rick was worried about him, and even though he repeatedly assured Rick that he was doing well now, Rick still tightened the strings, especially after the death of little Jenny, and Rick was very worried about Hugo's psychological state. But he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing - after all, he was not a psychiatrist.

However, Hugo's mentality is very stable, although he knows that the performance of "Death Row Prisoner's Walk" is completely his personal matter, this is a private situation, and his psychological condition is even more so; But he now also understands the rules of Hollywood, there is no absolute privacy, and if the reporter really wants to dig out the truth, so many people in the "Death Row Walk" crew cannot be monolithic.

Therefore, instead of passively covering Yang, it is better to face it calmly. At least the situation can be in Hugo's own hands. And that one demon was now overcome by Hugo, who knew he could discuss that experience with a smile.

After a brief greeting between the two old acquaintances, Jie looked at Hugo seriously, "Are you sure it's okay today?" If my question goes beyond the bottom line, you can answer it according to your own ideas and ignore me. ”

"Even if you don't say it, I'm like this, when did I ever scare about you when we were interviewing?" Hugo's rhetorical question made Jie also chuckle, which is also an important reason why Hugo's "Tonight Show" is wonderful, because these two people always bring surprises and surprises when they talk.

"So, you don't have a special request today?" Jie looked at Hugo and said with a smile, in fact, this was just what he asked in passing, Hugo, who didn't want to be always free and easy, but after hearing this, he fell into deep thought, which made Jie stunned, and his first reaction was that Hugo's situation was still not fully recovered. According to what Jie heard, Hugo's situation on the "death row walk" at that time was very strict, even far beyond imagination.

Hugo was thinking about something else, he wanted to pay tribute to little Jenny, which is one of the reasons why he was willing to come to record "The Tonight Show" today, because the Grayson Gift Foundation is also preparing a fundraiser, and they hope to visit the children in the hospital again at Christmas. Hugo hopes to call on more forces to join in.

But this is really not what Hugo is good at, because these behaviors used to be a show and hype in Hugo's eyes, and he didn't want such things, he was more inclined to do some charity activities in a down-to-earth manner. But Hugo also knows that this society is like this, many times, even if it is a show, even if it is hype, charity activities need people's care, little by little small forces can be gathered and condensed into a big force enough to change the world.
