Chapter 1340: Advent Interview

The cold Pacific wind in December gradually began to envelope Los Angeles. This winter in Los Angeles seems to be particularly cold. The days when the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (ten degrees Celsius) are obviously much more than in previous years, but the cold weather did not affect Hollywood’s participation in the carnival. Rhythm, because the year is about to pass, it's time to reap the rewards of Hollywood at the same time as saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Actors began to frequent major parties and award ceremonies. With the strong Christmas atmosphere, the temperature in Los Angeles began to rise slowly.

Since attending the premiere of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in September, Hugo has almost been on a complete vacation in the past two months, although the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Apologize ( have been vigorous during this period of time. Rainbow, but it became the calmest period of Hugo News since the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1992. It seems that all media abide by their duties and try not to disturb Hugo as much as possible, so that Hugo has a rare leisure time. .

Although everyone knows that such days will not last long. After the Hugo incident in August has completely cooled down, the media will definitely return to their old habits, but even so, Hugo enjoys this leisurely life very much, and he even has free time to learn. After learning golf, I played football with Fukun and Leonardo a few times, which really relaxed myself.

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

Little Jenny did not survive this winter after all, and finally left the world. Although Hugo only met this little girl once, the shock that Jenny brought to Hugo's heart is indescribable. Hugo attended the funeral of Jenny in his own name. At the funeral, he saw Jenny’s mother cry so hard that he could hardly bear to watch. The funeral was not over, so he turned and left.

After returning, Hugo has always felt a little depressed, so when he received Tom Cruise’s invitation last week, he nodded without hesitation. He boarded Tom’s private yacht and went out to the sea for a bath of sunshine. , A leisurely weekend of fishing and snorkeling. After that, I stayed on the beautiful beaches of Miami for two days and didn't come back to Los Angeles until yesterday.

If it were not for work today, Hugo should still continue to enjoy his rare holiday. Because "Death Row" is about to start pre-publicity.

Twentieth Century Fox, who was responsible for the distribution of "Death Row", carefully drew up a release plan after seeing the film samples. However, since this is an independent art film, Twentieth Century Fox does not intend to arrange a grand premiere. The screening does not intend to launch intensive publicity. They still hope to follow the traditional art film distribution method: hold a spot screening, watch the reactions of professional film critics, and then decide the pace of expansion.

In this way, "Death Convict Walk" actually has no publicity mission, let alone pre-publicity.

But this movie is very special because what happened during Hugo’s shooting has directly triggered a storm of public opinion in the past three months, directly causing countless viewers to look forward to Hugo’s performance in "Death Row". This also makes the movie one of the most anticipated works at the end of this year before it is released.

After the outbreak of the Hugo incident in August, although the Endeavour Elite Agency and the "Death Row" crew both issued official statements, Rick also issued an official statement on behalf of Hugo, but as a party, Hugo has never really discussed this in detail. Countless discussions surrounding the "death prisoner's walk" have not yet been answered.

Therefore, Twentieth Century Fox obtained Rick’s consent after internal discussions, and finally decided to let Hugo receive an official interview for the first and last time before the film was released to discuss this issue positively. As for the depth and breadth of the topic, Hugo decides everything. If the discussion is too deep or too sharp, Hugo can end the interview at any time.

Under such circumstances, the Oprah talk show, which was originally the most suitable, was excluded. Although the "Oprah talk show" has always been sensational and inspirational, and the discussion is more in-depth and emotional, it is considered The relationship between Oprah Winfrey and Hugo can only be said to be ordinary. No one knows what the interview will be like. Kevin Pence does not want to take risks, and Rick does not want to take risks.

After hesitating again and again, Kevin Pence personally decided and selected Jay Leno's "Tonight Show".

Everyone in the circle knows the personal relationship between Hugo and Jie. During the "Life and Death Hour" propaganda last year, Hugo gave Jie a face. During the "Road to Glory" tour, he took the time to record the "Tonight Show" and finally created The ratings are good. During this vacation, Hugo was also invited by Jay’s wife, Mavis, to go to Renault’s house for dinner, which shows their friendship.

Strictly speaking, "Tonight Show" is not the best choice, or even the right choice. However, considering the particularity of this incident, Kevin is still willing to believe in Jie’s personal friendship with Hugo, and the "Tonight Show" is a show. The TV station was not very grateful to Hugo for the "Friends" issue not long ago. This It also makes the communication between the senior management much easier. At the end of the well-thought-out, Kevin still handed over the topic scale to Jie's hands. Of course, the control is still in Hugo's hands.

When Hugo arrived at Burbank’s studio, he could describe it as a familiar road. Seeing Joseph and Samora, whose muscles were tight, Hugo's mood relaxed. For Joseph and Samora, they are worried that today the media will lose control and crowd their studios. Even if they are now equipped with four bodyguards for Hugo, they still feel lack of confidence.

"Rick told me that eight bodyguards are needed, and I think this proposal is acceptable." Joseph's words made Hugo almost choked with his saliva. Eight bodyguards? Thinking about that battle, I feel too exaggerated.

Sure enough, when they arrived outside the studio, the grand scale of more than fifty reporters almost made it impossible for the vehicle to move forward. For a talk show like the "Tonight Show", which is regularly recorded every week, such a scene is completely unprecedented. Even the competitor cbs and TV stations sent specially invited reporters to the scene, hoping to get news as soon as possible.

But obviously the TV station will not let this exclusive be robbed. They sent a dedicated staff to approach and **** Samora into the underground parking lot, and then enter the studio from the VIP channel, directly blocking all reporters out. Up.

The reason why Kevin chose the "Tonight Show" is that he intends to answer all questions at once. After that, Hugo will not accept any media interviews to discuss this incident-at least during the "Death Row" propaganda period. in this way. This is also the fundamental reason why Rick did not reject Kevin's proposal, and it is also the reason why today's TV station is receiving Hugo with the highest standards.

This is absolutely exclusive!

Surrounded by TV station staff, four professional bodyguards, Joseph and Samora, Hugo entered the waiting room almost smoothly as an aircraft carrier. Such a grand scene made Hugo laugh and cry so hard that he came to visit. Hugo also jokingly said, "Should all the audience attending the scene today go through the background investigation by private investigators?"

Jie originally wanted to tease Hugo, but was preempted by Hugo. He couldn't help but laughed, "Actually, the interrogation of me was completed yesterday." Just one sentence made Hugo laugh.

In fact, all these meticulous and terminal things were arranged by Rick. Rick spent countless efforts on the recording of this "Tonight Show". He even planned to cancel the recording the day before yesterday, so that Hugo would stay in Miami and not come back. Up. Hugo knew that Rick was worried about him. Even though he assured Rick that everything is fine now, Rick still tightened the strings. Especially after the death of Jenny, Rick’s mentality towards Hugo The state is very worried. But he didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing-after all, he was not a psychologist.

However, Hugo's mentality is very stable. Although he knows that the performance of "Death Row" is entirely his personal affair, this is a private situation, and his psychological condition is even more so; but he now also understands the Hollywood circle. There are no absolute rules. If the reporter really wants to dig the truth, the crew of "Death Row" cannot be monolithic.

Therefore, instead of passively covering up Yang, it is better to face it calmly. At least the situation is still in Hugo's own hands. And that demon has been overcome by Hugo now, he knows he can smile and discuss that experience.

After a brief exchange between two old acquaintances, Jie looked at Hugo earnestly, "Are you sure there is no problem today? If my question is beyond the bottom line, you can just answer it according to your own ideas and ignore me."

"Even if you don't say I am like this. When we were interviewing, when did I scruples you?" Hugo's rhetorical question caused Jie to chuckle. This is also on Hugo." The important reason for the "Tonight Show" is wonderful, because these two people always bring surprises and surprises when they talk.

"So, you don't have any special requirements today?" Jie looked at Hugo and said with a smile. In fact, this was just asked by him. Hugo, who didn't want to be always free and easy, fell into it after hearing this sentence. Contemplation, this made Jie stunned. His first reaction was that Hugo's situation still hadn't fully recovered. According to the news that Jie had heard, the situation where Hugo was "walking on death row" was very serious, even far beyond imagination.

Hugo is thinking about another thing. He wants to pay tribute to Jenny. This is actually one of the reasons why he is willing to record the "Tonight Show" today, because the Grayson Gifts Foundation is also preparing for fundraising activities. They hope I can visit the children living in the hospital again on 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 seen as show or hype in Hugo's eyes. He doesn't want such things. He prefers to do some charity activities down-to-earth. But Hugo also knows that this society is like this. In many cases, even if it’s a show or even a hype, charity activities require people’s care, and a little bit of power can be gathered to form a big power that can change the world. strength.
