Chapter 1273: Chain Reaction

Eli Casvi's phone rang again, and Liam Pinkerman, who was sitting across from him, scratched his head irritably, "Off, off...... Why don't you turn this phone off too! It's really noisy! ”

In the past thirty minutes, Liam has received seventeen phone calls, and all of them are asking him "Is Hugo really crazy", at first Liam was patient to answer, but then he was annoyed, "You're crazy, your whole family is crazy!" Hugo is so decent, why do you say he's crazy! You're crazy! ”

Since Eli's brother Samora was Hugo's assistant, he was always well-informed, which made him famous among the young volcanoes, and many people knew Eli and his close friend Liam. When the National Enquirer news appeared, almost everyone tried to find out what was going on, and many of them naturally thought of Eli and Liam.

Although Eli and Liam knew that these were Hugo's supporters, they were also worried about Hugo, so they panicked; But Eli did suffer from the calls. He was just an ordinary fan, not a staff member around Hugo, and even his parents were affected, so he had to pull out the phone line just now. But now, the phone next to me is ringing.

Eli stopped the grumpy Liam, "This number is known only to good friends who are really familiar with it." Then he picked up his phone, "Hello, this is Eli." After hearing the other man's voice, Eli glanced at Liam, "Oh, Lydia. ”

Lydia and Liam have always had a crush on each other, but the two have never really dated, let alone dated. Mainly because Lydia is in New York and Liam is in San Francisco, the two of them have only seen each other for a handful of time, and most of the time because of the glory to death tour.

Liam heard Lydia's voice and subconsciously went to look for his phone, and he wondered why Lydia didn't call him, only to find out that he had turned it off.

"Yes, Liam has also received too many calls here, and he just turned off his phone." Eli had just replied, and Liam touched his nose in frustration and lowered his head. Eli listened to Lydia's barrage of questions, and did not rush to speak, and only after Lydia had finished speaking did he explain, "Yes, Hugo is fine, Hugo is fine, you can rest assured." ”

"I had a phone call with Samora, here's how it happened......" Eli explained the whole situation carefully, and then the whole room fell silent, not only Eli and Liam, but also Lydia on the other end of the phone.

Even though Eli learned the truth of the matter from his brother as soon as the news came out, he still felt the heaviness in his heart every time he repeated it.

Hugo did have a problem, this "National Enquirer" is not wrong, and the fact may be even stricter than what the "National Inquirer" said, and even once there were symptoms of split personality, but as long as you think that Hugo forced himself to the corner and pushed himself to the limit for the role and performance, this is not only dedication, but also professionalism and dedication, and this spirit is enough to make everyone sigh.

And for these young volcanoes, it is even more shocking.

Eli couldn't help but think of the time when he first knew Hugo, the glory to death, and he found in this band the purest insistence and the craziest pursuit of rock and roll, which made him a young volcano without hesitation, not to do with his brother, but because he longed for Hugo's persistence. This is not only the persistence of dreams, but also the persistence of life and life, only in this kind of life can you truly feel that you are alive.

And this time, Eli's obsession with Hugo has a new life, although he is worried about Hugo's situation, he is more curious about Hugo's thoughts: what kind of persistence is this? wantonly squandered his youth, chased his dreams without hesitation, and unswervingly ran towards the set goal...... Along the way, countless thorns, countless difficulties, countless swords, mountains and fires, condensed countless sweat, tears and blood, but they have all become the most shining marks on the road of life, deeply imprinted in the soul, so that this short life blooms with a completely different light.

This is the most desirable thing about Hugo, not only to be admired, not only to admire, but also to be moved.

"So...... Hugo is okay now? After a long time, Lydia regained her voice, but it was not as impulsive and excited as it had just been, and her voice was still trembling slightly, indicating that her heart was palpitating.

Eli nodded slightly, answered with an "um", and then took another deep breath, "But even if something happens, we don't know, because only he knows how much pressure Hugo is on his shoulders." We don't know, Samora doesn't know, and Joe won't know. Only Hugo was silently carrying it. ”

Eli's words silenced Liam next to him and Lydia on the other end of the phone, "Of course, Cameron is now by Hugo's side, as well as Charlize, Leo, Alex's good friends, and even Steven and Tim are supporting Hugo, but ......"

Eli didn't say the rest of the words, "But none of them are Hugo", these huge pressures can only be borne by Hugo alone, and only Hugo alone can know what it is like, and the other onlookers are always just bystanders.

Lydia was silent for a moment, then suddenly she perked up, she knew that they couldn't stay silent like this, they had to do something to let Hugo know that it was not only his friends who stood behind Hugo, but also her large supporters. "Eli, do you know why Hugo is under so much pressure? There are many reasons for this, but some of them definitely come from us, from the media. ”

"How?" Eli vaguely caught a thought, and he encouraged Lydia to continue.

"We all know that there are countless news in the entertainment industry, and there will be a bunch of rumors almost every few days, which is true and false, and no one can distinguish between true and false, and the news about Hugo is a large part, if every time we see the news, we are so chaotic and panicked, then the media will only become more and more excited, and public opinion will become more and more exaggerated." Lydia's thoughts gradually cleared, but she was not a professional after all, and her explanations were not very correct, and there were some fragments.

The crew of "Death Row Walk" is still unwilling to cooperate in the face of such huge public pressure, and even DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company refuse to cooperate, obviously because they don't want reporters to join in the hype, and they don't want to put any pressure on Hugo.

For Hugo, it's work, it's a dream; But with the journalist's mixing, everything changed its flavor. Especially in the situation that Hugo is now under mental pressure, the excitement and excitement of the reporters are the catalyst, which can put Hugo into an even more terrible situation at any time, so no one wants to cooperate with the reporters, no one.

Steven, Rick, Joseph and the others are under tremendous pressure to protect Hugo, at the cost of Baton Rouge's spectacular iron barrel array. But controlling the media is not so simple, it not only requires the unity of the "Death Row Walk" crew, but also the cooperation of readers and fans. Without market demand, there would be no relentless pursuit of journalists.

Suddenly, the phone was snatched up by Joshua next to him, "I know, the Michael Jackson incident is a model, when people question Michael for doing something incorrect, everyone barely thinks about the truth of the matter, and they don't hear Michael's explanation, they think that Michael is wrong, this kind of public opinion that is swayed by the media will soon form a huge pressure, and make the media more excited, and then continue to push public opinion towards negative development." ”

This is the so-called basic theory of journalism: the spiral theory of agenda setting and silence, in short, it is the process by which the general public forms the mainstream public opinion and mainstream ideas in society under the deliberate guidance of the media.

"To put it simply, we should not follow the crowd, and every time the news comes out, we should have the ability to self-discern, so that we can effectively control the chaos that the media is trying to create and avoid the pressure that arises invisibly." Joshua had taken communication studies in his university courses, so he had a simple understanding of this, "To put it bluntly, we should believe Hugo first, support Hugo first, and wait for Hugo to come out to confirm the news before making a statement, which can not only control the public opinion pressure created by the media within the effective range, but also show our support to Hugo, but to reduce the pressure on Hugo, so that Hugo can get a more relaxed environment." ”

Knowledge changes destiny, many times this sentence sounds like a lie, but it is true. If Michael Jackson's powerful fans could unite and truly believe in Michael, and not let the media's public opinion become more and more exaggerated and more and more swaying, it may not be able to clear Michael's guilt, but it can give Michael more breathing space. Now, young volcanoes also need to come together.

"Joshua, then, what should we do?" Eli also understood, and went straight to the point.

"We should call the main leaders of the young volcano in each city and let as many fans as possible know the truth of the matter, what Hugo needs is quiet, what he needs is our support, not the endless hype and malicious speculation of the media. We must unite and tell Hugo, in addition to his friends, we are also his back! Joshua's words rang out loud, and both Lydia and Eli's eyes lit up.

Liam, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but get excited, although he didn't hear clearly, because he had this feeling that the young volcanoes could finally stand in front of Hugo and show their energy!

Just as all the reporters were besieging the crew of "Death Row Walk" in Baton Rouge for a long time, a "rebellion" launched by a young volcano was brewing in a huge way!
