Chapter 1352 1352 Depressed Internal Injury
However, a few months ago, when the "Death Convict Walk" was officially launched, no media reported it. The film was shot without people's concern, like a pebble thrown into the ocean. In general, it didn't cause any waves at all.
At that time, the "New York Post", "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle" and "San Francisco Chronicle" led the major newspapers to jointly build a blocking alliance to completely block the "death row walk", coupled with the "Chicago Forum" With the help of other newspapers such as the LA Times and the New York Times, the ban was an incredible success.
Until that incident broke out, people didn't even notice that Hugo had joined the shooting of a new work. If this process continues, then it is time for the "Death Ramble" to bow its head and plead with the major news media. Even if the "Los Angeles Times" and other newspapers are willing to help, the prospect of the "Death Ramble" is still not optimistic. It is bound to become an opportunity for the uncrowned kings to completely suppress Hugo. Even "pro-Hugo pie" like the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" have a hard time resisting such a temptation. confused.
But it backfired. A report by Anthony Bond Stewart upset everyone's wishful thinking. No one will forget what happened after that. In just three months, the entire North American press has been turned upside down, even if it has settled now. Down, that profound stamina influence is only now slowly starting to take effect, and it will even last for decades, changing the development direction of the entire news industry.
The "Death Convict Walk" that suddenly appeared like a comet instantly attracted everyone's attention. On the first day of the screening, without the premiere being held, it actually caused such a sensation. A bipolar contrast is formed. So what about the original banning alliance? Where are they?
Colin Meiler is very embarrassed now. The single-day screening of "Death Row" and "Twelve Monkeys" will be held at the same time. You can imagine the excitement of the news media, not only because of Hugo and Brad, the fateful opponents, Also because the most mentioned movie in the past three months is finally coming out, and because every reporter is gearing up to make a comeback.
No matter whether the "Death Ramble" is successful or not, the forbearance of the uncrowned kings in the past few months can come to an end. If the movie is successful, they can naturally praise Hugo's excellence, which can be regarded as a real end to the entanglement between the two sides. : At least on the surface; if the film fails, although they won't fall into trouble, they will still be schadenfreude and cynicism, and it can be regarded as a bad breath.
So, there is hardly any doubt that all the media will be there to report on today's event. At this time, there was no communication between the blocked alliances, which were already in name only, but Colin knew that "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle", and "San Francisco Chronicle" had all decided to go to the scene.
What about the New York Post?
According to the report, they can fully support the "Twelve Monkeys", and then try their best to support Brad and try their best to suppress Hugo, but they will also become the laughing stock of their peers in the industry. Because they reported Brad itself, in fact, about this matchup and this contest, they were slapped in the face; what's more, if they didn't mention the "death prisoner's walk", they would certainly not achieve the purpose of stimulating sales. Once the decision is made to report, the two works must be reported together.
This also means that the blocking alliance initiated by the "New York Post" is not only worthless, but also a complete joke. As editor-in-chief, Colin will have a faceless face for a long time to come.
If they don't report, they maintain their reputation, but in the case of all the media doing their best to report, the unique "New York Post" has no sales at all. It is conceivable that Colin will face the wrath of the parent company News Corporation next. , his editor-in-chief position will be challenged again.
What's more, the other members of the alliance that were blocked at the beginning were doing their best to report, and only the "New York Post" was left with a bare commander. It is estimated that there is not much "face" left. It is also a joke.
This puts Colin in a very embarrassing position. This is not only a dilemma, but also a question of slapping himself on the left side of the face or the right side of the face-in any case, the shame is for sure.
Colin really hated this situation. After the release of "Before Sunrise" earlier this year, the "New York Post" gained a short-term advantage over Hugo. Colin was very proud of it for a while, but it was a pity Yes, Colin's good mood didn't last long, and now the "New York Post" and himself have once again fallen into an uncontrollable quagmire.
Colin is now gnashing his teeth, wanting to peel Hugo's skin, bite Hugo's flesh, and bite Hugo's bones, even so, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
However, Colin must have two brushes to become the editor-in-chief of the "New York Post", just like when the "National Enquirer" was going to report the news of "Hugo Going Crazy", Colin thought again and again and rejected this. proposal, which has also given the New York Post a precious respite over the past few months.
Colin knows that it is really difficult for the uncrowned kings to have a good face in the face of Hugo. It is not just the "New York Post", but this is the status quo of the news industry. They are dependent on news events and news figures. Different from the "truth first" of social news or political news, the particularity of entertainment news also makes the involvement between them and public figures more complicated.
So, what Colin needs to do now is to calm down, wait for the opportunity, and then regain his advantage; if there is no opportunity, then he needs to use Hugo to hype the news, just like "before the sunrise". , whether Hugo likes it or not, as a public figure, Hugo is the object of people's consumption. Colin should have used this precisely to make Hugo sad.
The truth is the truth. Colin knows these truths, but it is not so easy to implement. Colin can hardly control his anger.
After learning about the grand situation at the entrance of the Landmark Cinemas for the first time, Colin faced a difficult problem. Even if he was depressed to the point of internal injury, he had no time to heal. He had to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to report or not to report?
Hesitating again and again, Colin still made a decision: report! Although it is his editor-in-chief who loses his face for reporting, at least the sales of the newspaper are guaranteed, and he can also make a fuss about the showdown between Hugo and Brad, disgusting and disgusting Hugo, which means that from a businessman's standpoint Said that the interests are guaranteed. This is the wise choice.
After Colin gave the order, he almost vomited blood and decided to report. In fact, it was Colin himself who was injured: this also means that all his plans in the past few months were just a joke, how pitiful, how ridiculous , how sad!
"Hey, look, isn't that Travis from the 'New York Post'? I remember he's still in the 'New York Post', right?" A reporter next to him saw a few familiar figures in the crowd, and immediately raised his voice Speaking of.
James looked in the direction, and then saw a four-person team, led by the new reporter Travis of the "New York Post", but this reporter can only be regarded as just out of the rookie ranks, nothing. Fame, not even surname. It can only be said that there are not many reporters in the "New York Post" who are willing to report on Hugo News, because they all know how humiliating it is in front of their colleagues.
However, the "New York Post" still attaches great importance to the "death row walk". The four-person team is considered a luxury configuration for on-site interviews. There are two interview reporters and two camera reporters, just to ensure that every detail of the scene can be recorded. It is obviously planned to conduct a special topic The pace of reporting.
"Yo, man!" a reporter from the Orange County Chronicle beside James shouted, and the fans and other reporters at the door looked over, looking a little different in the riot, "'The New York Post 'Come to report too? Don't look the wrong way, the gate is on the right."
As soon as these words came out, a group of reporters burst into laughter. They all knew the so-called blocking alliance, and naturally they also knew what the New York Post's move to the scene today meant. This slap was really loud and slapped. Travis's face was still not thick enough, and his cheeks flushed in an instant, and he wanted to get into the crack of the ground in embarrassment. .
Movie fans don't know much about these inside stories. Since the block alliance didn't play any role and didn't make any waves, no one paid attention, but most of them knew that the "New York Post" and Hugo didn't deal with it, so Everyone started booing, booing and boos mixed together overwhelmingly, making Trasvi's group of four like rats crossing the street, accepting the trial of more than 500 people at the scene.
The taste, only you can taste it.
The uncrowned kings always regard public figures as consumer goods, but behind the supremacy of entertainment also means that one day, the uncrowned king will also become people's consumer goods, first "Mr. Bond", now "New York Post" reporter We, should this be the progress of the news industry, or the irony of the news industry?
"Death Convict Walk" has not yet started screening, the screening is still brewing, and the topic of news has been emerging one after another. Relatively speaking, "Twelve Monkeys", which was solemnly launched in the AMC theater chain, seems a bit deserted. Although Universal Pictures has also invited many reporters, and thanks to the showdown between Hugo and Brad, almost every media will send reporters to interview; but the problem is: there are actually more reporters on the scene than fans, which...
