Chapter 1272: Impregnable Walls
Ninety-six hours had been brewing for the storm, and in just forty-eight hours, the whole storm had reached its peak, and it had only been four days since the "Chicago Tribune" broke the deadlock first, but the news was becoming more and more alarmist day by day, and countless reporters flocked to Baton Rouge, and the news came back one after another, as if Hugo was already in danger.
If you look at the timeline, you can see that the National Inquirer was on Monday, and the Chicago Tribune was on Wednesday to Beverly Hills, but by Saturday, everyone seemed to be mourning Hugo's insaneness.
The development of the whole incident is lightning fast, especially in the era when there is no Internet, and the development of events is unimaginably fast, which is definitely comparable to Michael Jackson's prostitution at the beginning. Children's cases.
From here, you can see the strong momentum of Hugo today.
It's just that, unlike Michael Jackson, the media reported on Hugo's mentality slightly differently, and naturally some of them were like the media that were looking forward to witnessing Michael stepping down from the altar, constantly pouring cold water on Hugo, just to witness the collapse of a myth; But there are also some media outlets that are worried about the huge impact of this incident on the film industry as a whole, while others are discussing the enormous pressure on artists.
Hugo wasn't the first to take on the pressure, and he won't be the last. So what role does public opinion supervision play in this process? Positive or negative? This is all worth discussing and pondering.
Therefore, the development of the whole news is extremely fast, and almost everyone has already identified Hugo's "insanity", as if Hugo has been labeled as "neurotic", which makes people worry, curious, and sympathetic.
Faced with such a situation, Colin of the "New York Post" was very entangled, because he knew that when the "Chicago Tribune" took the initiative, it meant that there were cracks in the blocking alliance, and there were two and two, and two and three. Colin knew that Hugo was powerful, which was an important reason why he wanted to teach Hugo a lesson; But the current situation made Colin very powerless, and he watched the "National Inquirer" gain a lot of attention, and then watched the blockade alliance begin to disintegrate, which was not only a matter of "death row strolls", but also another setback for the "New York Post" in the confrontation with Hugo.
Now, Colin can only pray, and everyone's focus is on Hugo, and the "Death Row Walk" is just a foil.
In the face of such a strong momentum and call, in the end, "USA Today" and "Houston Chronicle", two newspapers that have always been not very interested in Hugo, insisted on their position and did not go to Baton Rouge, which also kept the ban alliance at least two-thirds intact, and they still hope to continue to complete the ban on "Death Row Walk". It's just that their fate is already in the hands of Hugo, damn Hugo-Lancaster.
Everyone was waiting for Hugo's positive response.
Why didn't Hugo come forward to clarify or make a statement? Why are DreamWorks and Endeavour Elite Brokerage Firms silent? Why didn't even the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" come out with any news? All of this seems to be a sign that things are getting worse and worse.
The reporters had to be forced to take the initiative, although under the control of the blocking alliance, the news report never mentioned the "death row walk", but the fact that Hugo was filming the "death row walk" is not a secret to insiders at all, so almost all the reporters rushed towards the location of the crew after the Baton Rouge search.
When reporters from all corners of the North American continent arrived at the Death Row crew, they were shocked by what they saw, only to see the crew hiding in a closed abandoned prison for filming, which was less than a mile away from the famous Angolan prison, so the surrounding area was very heavily guarded.
The studio was fenced off with barbed wire, and there were 12 crew members on non-stop patrols in shifts, and the whole crew was strictly hidden inside the prison for filming, not to mention Hugo, even the main crew of the crew could not see, and the top person in charge that the reporters had access to was only the assistant director of the crew - which meant that he had no understanding of the situation, his speech did not count, and he had no power to decide anything about the crew.
In addition, there are strict requirements for entering and exiting the crew, the car is allowed to enter the barbed wire fence, and after driving into the parking lot on the side, the relevant personnel will be asked to get out of the car, and then walk into the studio to confirm that there are no extra entourage before they can be released. Even bigwigs like Steven Spielberg are no exception.
Later, some reporters tried to climb up to the tree and use binoculars to probe from a high place, but they didn't get anything - the outermost windows were all covered with shutters, and even the figures could not be seen, let alone the specific situation of the crew.
There was even a reporter who tried to disguise himself as a delivery staff to enter it, and his wonderful level of disguise deceived all the reporters who insisted on it outside, almost reaching the level of a spy war movie, which also made him enter the studio along the way, but he just arrived at the door and was asked to leave after leaving the takeaway. The escort inside the studio was all done by the crew, and the reporter could only return with a feather.
It's definitely a watertight precaution. This also makes the whole situation even more unpredictable: the crew of "Death Row Walk" seems to have imprisoned themselves, which is really unpredictable.
It is rumored that this is an order directly given by Steven, and there is no emotion to talk about, completely cutting off the connection between the media and the crew, and completely closing the filming.
In the face of such strict protective measures, only when the crew takes the initiative to hold a press conference, it is possible for reporters to get news; But at the same time, such an impregnable wall also makes the reporters' speculations more colorful: Could it be that Hugo really has a problem, and it is stricter than the descriptions of "National Enquirer" and "Supporters", and even the entire crew has been substantially harmed, so the crew will protect it so thoroughly?
This idea suddenly made countless reporters start to think, could it be that Hugo really had a physical conflict with the crew, and now the bruises and scars are too obvious to be seen at all?
Or did Hugo fall out with the crew and refuse to continue filming, so that now Hugo is not on the set at all, so they have to prevent the news from leaking?
Or is it that Hugo's problem has become so serious that he needs to be hospitalized, and the crew, which is now in a state of complete shutdown, is covering for Hugo?
Some people even believe that Hugo was completely crazy at this time and had to be accused, and DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company in order to prevent news leakage and come up with a crisis public relations policy in time, so the crew was completely blocked.
Countless statements are lively, several times more exciting than the rumors published in major newspapers, which also makes the reporters even more excited, all the reporters did not hesitate to stay, more than 130 reporters and the "Death Row Walk" crew completely barred, directly camped outside the crew, and did not leave without first-hand news, which also made the iron barrel array in addition to the iron-walled crew, which surrounded the entire area tightly, It seems to have become one of the most focused points of attention in the US news media this summer.
Outside the iron wall, rumors are spreading, and the alarmist news is becoming more and more terrifying, more and more strict, and more and more terrifying, and the situation is gradually getting out of control; Within the iron walls, there is a dead silence, and the eerie atmosphere of the crew is almost reminiscent of a real prison, even comparable to a concentration camp, allowing the journalists' minds to fly wildly.
The tremendous pressure was like the dark clouds before the summer rainstorm, more and more dark clouds condensed over Baton Rouge, and the dark clouds like the top of Mount Tai began to become thicker and heavier, as if the whole sky was blocked, and the dark clouds swallowed up all the rays, and the terrible pressure would explode at any time, and then easily destroy all the qiē.
A sense of unease began to permeate this pressure, not only for the "Death Row Walk" crew, but also for the journalists themselves, who were almost overwhelmed by the pressure.
In the past 48 hours since all the reporters gathered in Baton Rouge on Thursday, the reporters' gains have completely stopped at a few fragmented clues in the hospital, and all of these clues have been preemptively broken by the "supporters" of the local snake, and the news that has appeared after this is all hearsay and rumors, without any truth.
As for arriving at the filming site, the reporters were completely unfounded, they didn't see any important people in there - they obviously communicated by phone, not with the hype on the cusp; I didn't see any important people come out - they obviously didn't want to deal with reporters, and just honestly continued their previous work on the set.
This has caused reporters to suffer because they have no news, Endeavour Elite Agency has not responded, and DreamWorks has not responded...... This made reporters question the ins and outs of the incident and try to find out the truth behind the incident, but unfortunately, the content they investigated was completely the clues published by the "National Enquirer".
Under such tremendous pressure, reporters also began to show their powers, and their tentacles began to reach out to Hugo's friends, in addition to Rick and Carl, agents such as Steven and David, in addition to Charlize and Leonardo, even Hugo's fans were harassed, which is really incredible, almost everyone is trying to find out the news, not only to find out the truth of the matter, but also to find out Hugo's current situation.
