Chapter 1267: Self-Judgment Impulse

Colin Myler's heart was dripping blood, and Brandon Bryan's phone stabbed him in the chest almost like a dagger, and then stirred it twice, making a big cut, and the blood was pouring down, and the stinging sensation almost made him bite his lip.

"Hugo is crazy", this news can almost be said to be tsunami-like, even laymen know that once this matter is confirmed, then not only Hollywood, but almost the whole of the United States will be in turmoil, and even Europe will be affected. As the most powerful, far-reaching, and appealing artist in recent years, Hugo's every move can trigger a chain reaction and bring violent shocks.

Someone once joked that Hugo alone maintains one-tenth of the profits of today's American entertainment industry. This is actually not a joke, more like the truth, Hugo is not only an actor and a singer, his contribution is not only the movie box office, album sales, tour box office, from the agent industry to the film production industry, from the change of actors' remuneration to the influence of the media industry, the interests behind the name "Hugo Lancaster" cover almost the entire entertainment industry.

The most direct thing is that during the filming of "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo completely refused to interview Wรจn, although the media has been hyping Hugo's big name and trying to divert the focus, but the fact is that because Hugo has not received any media interviews in the past three months, even the surrounding news has almost disappeared, and during this time, the sales of newspapers and magazines in the greater Los Angeles area have fallen by 14 percent. The economic benefits contained in this can be seen.

Therefore, when the filming of "Death Row Prisoner Walk" starts, the media will "justifiably" join forces to ban Hugo, and they need to make Hugo feel the existence of the "uncrowned king", not only for a breath, but also for the future cooperation and development.

This is the status quo: the media is trying to ban Hugo and teach him a lesson, a lesson that is crucial for all major news outlets. Even though they all know that the "death row walk" itself does not require attention, their attitude must be accurately presented.

"Death Row Walk" has been filming for a month in a blink of an eye, and the reports about the crew have completely disappeared, which is completely inconsistent with the cast of the crew. As long as they keep going, when the film starts to do pre-promotion, especially when the film tries to make a difference at the major award ceremonies, the crew will start to bow their heads and beg for the cooperation of the media - they need the cooperation of the media to maximize the profits, because this is the rule of this circle, and this is the way this circle works.

Yes, as long as they keep going......

Colin thought silently, but in an instant he was overwhelmed by anger and pain, and almost dropped the phone.

As long as they hold on for a while, just a little longer, the crew of "Death Row Walk" will be the first to hold on, whether Steven Spielberg uses his influence to exert pressure, or the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" take the lead in breaking the deadlock, they will ban Hugo's media with a high profile to win their own victories - even if they lift the ban, it is because it is for the sake of Steven or the face of his peers. At that time, they will be invincible, and they can even force Hugo to bow to them.

What a victory it would be.

But now the situation is different. "Hugo is crazy", this news will undoubtedly dominate the front pages of the major news for a long time, and even if the news is clarified afterwards, the impact has already spread, and the news media that reported it have already gained what they want - attention and profit.

In the face of such a piece of news, it is difficult for media practitioners to resist the temptation. It's as if there's a gold mine in front of you that has come out of the ground, and even if you know that there are many competitors nearby, even if you know that digging gold with your bare hands is likely to get your hands bloody, you're still going to rush to it. People die for money, and birds die for food, this is the iron rule of nature.

Colin was no exception, he felt like he was being roasted on a fire. Colin even suspected that this news was deliberately released by the crew of "Death Row Walk", the purpose of which was to "block the alliance" and make major media focus on the crew.

Although Colin knew that this possibility was very small, because Hugo hated hype the most, Hugo would not agree, and Tim and Steven were friends of Hugo, and they would not force Hugo; But the timing of the news was so delicate that it almost made Colin want to cut himself.

But in the end, Colin decided to pass up the opportunity to report, a decision he had to make.

Blocking Hugo and banning "Death Row Walk" is not an idea on a whim, Colin still wants to stay the course. It is precisely because he knows how much focus and interest Hugo maintains, so he knows that he must have the upper hand in the future confrontation with Hugo. Because there is no way back for the New York Post.

Although Hugo had already banned the New York Post at the witch trial, the gamble was officially ended, and even made the New York Post lose the possibility of further establishing a good relationship with Endeavor Elite Agency.

And now everyone realizes what Endeavour Elite Brokerage really stands for.

Therefore, this ban on the alliance is the key to Colin taking the initiative, and the best result is to break the ice wall and let the "New York Post" connect with Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company again; The worst result is also to ease relations, so that the "New York Post" can regain its confidence and posture in the process of confrontation with Hugo.

Colin had no way out.

What's more, is Hugo really crazy? Colin strongly doubted the authenticity of the news, not to mention whether it was a smoke bomb released by the crew of "Death Row Walk", but Anthony's investigation of the source of the news could not resist speculation. It is not a big problem for a supermarket gossip tabloid like the "National Enquirer" to report, at least Anthony still has a source, not a fabrication out of thin air; But not the New York Post, they can't afford the consequences of "it's a fake news."

In the end, Colin made a decision: not to report.

This is almost equivalent to cutting a piece of Colin's flesh, and what is even more terrifying is that not only can the "New York Post" not report it, but Colin also has to persuade "USA Today," "Houston Chronicle," "Daily News," "Chicago Tribune," and other major national newspapers not to report on it, because this is a "blocking alliance" and must keep the same pace, otherwise the "New York Post" will not have any effect if it does not report.

It's not just about cutting one piece of Colin's meat, it's about cutting many pieces of meat.

Brandon knew Colin's struggles and struggles, because his situation was not much better, although the National Inquirer had never been on a mission to "report the truth", and they even reported on alien news without any evidence, because they were supermarket tabloids, providing housewives with tools for baskets and carts; But for Hugo, he also had to be careful, and careful.

"Tony, tell me your opinion, I can make a reference." Brandon let out a long sigh, still unable to make up his mind.

Anthony only felt that the throbbing pain in his head was getting worse and worse, and as long as he thought about Hugo, he felt uncomfortable. But...... Anthony thought about it carefully, and his heart was crossed, "Report! Why not report! Anthony knew that as long as he was in this line of work, it would be impossible not to face Hugo. What's more, Hugo is now in a situation where he can't afford to lose, the higher his status, the more shackles he has, compared to Hugo, he and the "National Enquirer" can afford to lose.

"Brandon, I think we should report." Anthony closed his eyes in disregard and said in a daze, "This news is clearly a big seller, why don't we report it?" It would be a fool not to earn money. What's more, we can't always be tied up like this, whether it's in the face of Hugo or anyone else. โ€

Brandon sighed again, knowing that what Anthony said was the truth...... In the end, Brandon also gritted his teeth and said directly, "Deng! You write it today, and we'll post it tomorrow! Take care of your peers, don't leak the news! โ€

Now that you have decided to report it, it is natural to play a big game. Anthony questioned several of his peers in the process of finding out the news, and he had to pay them a hush money to ensure that the news was exclusive to the National Enquirer. As for the New York Post, Colin is not a fool.

After hanging up the phone, Anthony calmed down, this was probably his best chance to fight back against Hugo after the witch trial, and maybe only once, so he had to calm down. Anthony's brain started to work fast, and then after a few phone calls, he had to learn more about the details of "Hugo is crazy", so that even if he made up the story, it would be more realistic.

At the same time, Colin was also making a quick call, he knew how quickly the news of this line spread, maybe the moment he hesitated here, someone had already leaked the news, maybe someone in the "Blocking Alliance" couldn't help but be tempted. Confused? So, for Colin, every second counts.

The United States in July is still shrouded in the summer fever, the summer season is in full swing so that countless audiences in the cinema enjoy a rare leisure time of the year, and at the same time, the news media is beginning to be surging, a storm is quietly brewing, no one can predict how long this storm will last, what the consequences will be, how it will end, but it is certain that it will be a grand show!
