Chapter 1282 1282 Aftermath
Hugo walked into the crew, but found that all the staff members who were discussing lively had stopped their expressions. They were still flirting with a gaze just now, but now they became more restrained. You can tell at a glance that they were discussing the most lively news events recently. Hugo couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, guys, I'm not a porcelain doll, don't worry that I'll break if I touch it casually."
Hugo's words made the staff burst into laughter. Hugo sat down in front of the dressing table and said to Joseph who followed him, "Joe, aren't you serious? Now let everyone not talk about this in front of me? I've said it, I'm fine, I'm fine now."
Although this incident has become well known, even at the White House regular press conference not long ago, a reporter mentioned this matter to the press officer, mainly about the conflict between public figures' protection and freedom of speech, and the bad actions of the news media beyond the moral bottom line; but as the party involved, Hugo knew nothing about what happened outside.
Thanks to this era without the Internet, when Hugo had no way to read newspapers and watch TV, his source of information was completely cut off. He knew that there was a commotion outside due to the interruption of crew work, but he did not know how much it had developed, nor did he know the details.
The entire crew of "Death Prisoner Walking" was repeatedly banned, and no one was allowed to tell Hugo about the outside news, at least not until the movie was completed.
The news media can be said to have shot themselves in the foot. They are now in a state of turmoil and can't take care of themselves, so no paparazzi will bother Hugo again. This made Hugo miss the ugly appearance of the media's gloating, and also missed the wonderful scenes of the dog biting dogs and rats crossing the street.
At first, Hugo didn't know that the National Inquiry News broke the news about his treatment by psychologists because everyone was hiding it seriously, and later it was Charlize when he called Hugo.
Charlize was not saying a word unexpectedly, but she was willing to believe Hugo, and she knew Hugo enough.
In Charlize's view, Hugo's psychological pressure is given to him by himself and has nothing to do with any other people or things outside. Hugo himself trapped him in prison, and he also needed Hugo to break the confinement and constraints and enjoy freedom again. Especially for this kind of psychological problem, no one can help Hugo, even if the help of the psychologist is limited.
As for the noise and chaos in the news media, it is not worth mentioning to Hugo. Hugo didn't care before, nor now. This has nothing to do with psychological problems, this is Hugo's personality and persistence.
Therefore, Charlize felt that it didn't matter if he mentioned Hugo, and it could also be the topic of teasing after dinner. Because of this, Charlize had some arguments with Joseph, but both of them knew that they were Hugo's friends and both started from Hugo's position. After arguing twice, the two of them took a step back.
Hugo can know what happened outside, after all, it is too difficult to not reveal any traces. What's more, the crew of "Death Prisoner Walking" is so big, not every staff member is a good actor, and it is also a tough thing to force so many people not to talk about it. But Hugo still cannot directly contact media reports, and he does not need to know the extreme, terrible words, extreme, and strong opinions in media reports.
Hugo was quite helpless about this. In fact, Hugo agreed with Charlize's point of view, but he also knew that Steven, Tim, and Joseph were worried about themselves and took extreme measures to block the news in order to avoid excessive pressure from him. Besides, there was no need to know about gossip news, but this made Hugo feel like glass that broke when it was touched, which was quite amused and irritable.
Joseph looked calm, "Don't you dare not be interested in these hypes and gossip? You just happen to have to be fully involved in the role now. Without this interference information, isn't it good?"
Hugo was really amused and crying. He didn't want to know that he was banned. These are two things. From a heart-to-heart perspective, it makes people feel uncomfortable, but he really has no way to refute Joseph's words. In fact, just imagine that the media's words are being hurt. Knowing them only makes you feel bad.
Hugo curled his lips and stopped arguing with Joseph. Anyway, the "Death Prisoner Walk" is coming to an end, so he still needs to devote himself to the shooting. If he is finished, he is still curious after the filming is completed. Even if he doesn't want to know, the news media will probably not let her go.
"Which scene is filming today?" Hugo looked at Joseph and said actively.
Joseph skillfully opened the place where the script was marked, "There are still the last two scenes left, and Tim feels that it will be officially completed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
At present, the most difficult scenes in the movie have been filmed, including the final ending. In a completely clean environment, Hugo's performance was like God's help, which made Steven and Tim praise him completely. Even Susan admired Hugo. The last few scenes of the last part of Hugo were really exciting, and the shooting speed and completion were completely beyond expectations. This also made the crew complete the shooting according to the expected goals after a week of rest. However, there were still some shots and some simple scenes that needed to be reshooted, so the work these two days was relatively easy, but I still couldn't relax.
Hugo sat in place and started reading the script while putting on makeup. Since the character needs to wear wigs and draw tattoos, the makeup time will be relatively longer every day. Hugo has also developed the habit of reading the script. After the makeup is finished, he is ready for today's shooting.
"Joe, how long will it take to shoot?" Henry Bloom's voice came over. Rick was always here before, but Rick needed to take care of such a big stall as Fenjin Elite Agency, so later Henry came over, and Rick went back to Los Angeles first.
Henry and Joseph stood beside him and communicated briefly, then Henry came over, "Hugo, the single matter has been replied to by Eidai Records." Hugo put down the script and looked at Henry, without saying anything, but just signaled him to continue talking.
Henry was not in a hurry at all, but sat down next to him, adjusted a comfortable position before speaking, "They still hoped to release this single, but because there are too many things recently, it will inevitably have an impact, and the strategy is improper, it can easily become malicious hype, so they will push the time a little further."
In the second week of July, the single "Wonderwall" completed 15 consecutive championships, setting a new historical record for Billboard. The album "Bathing in the Morning Light" was also accompanied by the huge success of the single, and it was sold for a long time. EverDaily Records knew that it was unwise to let Honor until death to produce a new album in a short period of time. Not only is it still in an extremely strong situation after the release of "Bathing in the Morning Light", but they are not in a hurry to let the band produce a new album, but hope to focus on the post-production of "Bathing in the Morning Light".
Therefore, EDA Records hopes to use the power of "Miss Wall" to release the fourth single of the album "Bathing in the Morning Light". The previous three singles "Beautiful Day", "Shape.of.my.heart" and "Miss Wall" have won the Billboard championships one after another, and they all achieved incredible glory. If you continue to strike while the iron is hot, maybe the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" can set a new high.
After careful consideration, EDA Records gave up the song "One.step.clo" that gained countless attention at the Grammy Awards ceremony and chose the song "Time.of.our.life". It was originally planned to be released in the second week of August.
But accidents followed, and the historical events on August 5 almost changed the overall plan of EDA Records.
Hugo, who is at the forefront of the storm, is obviously not suitable for any publicity activities. Releasing a single at this critical moment almost throws money into the water. EDA Records had to postpone the plan. But then things turned around and entered a new stage. EDA Records saw the opportunity again and thought they should take the opportunity to release singles.
However, Henry questioned this plan. If a single is released at this moment, Edai Records is clearly making a fortune by using the news hotspots. This will definitely be a loss to Edai Records' image, and the players of the Honor to Death will definitely not be happy. More importantly, Henry said that Hugo would definitely not participate in the single promotion.
Under such circumstances, Edai Records had to re-judgment the market. Obviously, the impact of a news incident was very wide, and even Hugo was a victim, it was no exception, especially because Hugo maintained too many company interests, which could be said to have a single impact. Not only Edai Records, but also Xinyi Film Company's release and release plans for the "Seven Deadly Sins", including the preliminary publicity plans.
Today, Henry received the final reply from EDA Records. Obviously, they are still unwilling to give up this plan, because the fourth single is not just a single, but also related to the subsequent promotion plan of "Bathing in the Morning Light" in the second half of the year. In addition, it also involves the plan for the first half of next year, without making a new album in the short term of Glory until death, and without planning, EDA Records still has many plans to make profits, and singles are an important carrier.
"Push back? When will it be when?" Hugo doesn't care. In fact, he just participated in the early promotion of "Miss Wall" and has been filming since then. For the sake of the band, it is also necessary to release singles.
"September," Henry simply said that this time is really ambiguous. You can't be too impatient. You need to minimize the negative impact of news events; but you can't be too slow. The subsequent effect of "Miss Wall" is gradually weakened with the passage of time, so EDA Records is also very cautious. "But I told them that the band will not participate in the promotion this time, at least you won't. If other members of the band are willing, it may be just some radio promotion. They agreed with this."
Hugo nodded slightly, "I'll call Neil and the others later to express my apology."
"But they replaced the release single." Henry's laziness and focus on the last one before throwing it out, causing Hugo to widen his eyes in surprise. "They changed to 'apology'."
