Chapter 1023 1023 Special ambition

Hugo looked at the young boy in front of him, and for the first time, he felt that his thinking could not keep up with the rhythm. Hugo has always claimed to have memories of the next twenty years, so he can tolerate any new things in the 1990s, even those so-called shocking things.

But the underage boy in front of him was actually a paparazzi, which was completely beyond Hugo's expectations. His first reaction was, "Are you Benjamin Patton?"

Benjamin Button is the protagonist of a short story created by Scott Fitzgerald. This writer is known as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. His most famous work is "the.great.gatsby", which can be regarded as a classic representative of the microcosm of American society.

"The Strange Things of Benjamin Button (the.cu.ca.of.benja.button)" is a short story by Scott, which was adapted into a movie of the same name in 2008. The protagonist Benjamin was born as a short old man, and then began to grow up differently from others, as others get older and younger.

Hugo believes that the boy in front of him is obviously a representative of reverse growth, not a real underage, and maybe he is actually fifty years old.

When the boy heard Hugo's question, he was stunned, but after he realized that he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "No, I'm not an old man, I'm fifteen years old this year, I mean, I'm about to turn fifteen."

Hugo was surprised that his chin was about to fall off, "So, you said you were a paparazzi?"

The boy nodded seriously, "Don't you think this is a very interesting profession?" The boy said excitedly at Hugo. His dancing expression made Hugo see the fanatic fans in a daze, but the fanatical target of the "fan" in front of him was not Hugo, but the profession of paparazzi.

Although Hugo wants to say that everyone has their own ambitions, he still has no way to connect the profession of paparazzi with a minor as soon as possible. "Interesting? I won't use such an adjective. Why do you want to do this profession?"

Generally speaking, people's impression of paparazzi is to take photos without any means. Many paparazzi are middle-aged people with unshaven beards. They are the most densely packed age groups. They generally have no fixed family, just regard their cars as their homes, and wait for many years at the door of artists. Pizza and cigarettes are their best partners.

But now, it is unimaginable that a young man under the age of eighteen has become a paparazzi.

"I live in Hollywood," the boy explained with a smile, and then he surrounded seven paparazzi later, which made Hugo regret it, but he did not leave and remained there. "I often meet some celebrities in restaurants or convenience stores, so I wonder, why don't I take some photos of them to make money? So I convinced my father to buy a camera and then start working."

"Wow..." Hugo could only sigh like this, and there was no other idea.

The boy saw Hugo's shocked expression and looked proud, but he still couldn't hide his awkwardness. He scratched his head, "But I had no experience before, and the photos I took were not necessarily useful. I think it should be considered a success to be able to take your photo today."

Hugo knew that the boy was talking about the surprised expression he had just said, which made Hugo really laugh and cry.

Objectively speaking, Hugo still doesn't like reporters, which is a preference imprinted in his mind. Even though he knows that many reporters are running around for their livelihood and cannot beat people up in one fell swoop, Hugo still has no way of having a good impression of reporters; and this is especially true for paparazzi, because the goal of paparazzi is to explore the private lives of artists and thus make huge profits. This is what Hugo firmly rejects.

But the boy in front of him had a youthful face, his vibrant expression was a little childish. His face clearly stated his inner excitement and expectation, and his excitement could not be concealed at all. This made Hugo unable to get angry.

Hugo knew that this was the boy's interest and his dream. Although this dream was a bit special and conflicted with Hugo's interests, the dream should not be divided into high or low. Therefore, Hugo admired the boy's pace of chasing his dreams. However, Hugo really couldn't encourage the boy and encourage the boy to break the tranquility of his life. Now, Hugo became speechless.

"...I hope that the photo doesn't look too scary." Hugo could only say this. This sentence made the other paparazzi next to him laugh, and the boy scratched his head shyly, not knowing how to deal with it.

Hugo turned to look at the other paparazzi next to him. He knew that he should leave. If he didn't leave again, the paparazzi would be endless again. He took a deep breath and then turned his eyes to the boy again. "What's your name?" Hugo shrugged himself without forgetting, "Although I probably can't remember it, I still asked politely."

The paparazzi burst into laughter again, and Daws could even find that Hugo was actually in a good mood today, both in the previous cooperation and the current kindness. Daws couldn't help but feel a little excited. Maybe he could take more photos of Hugo today, after all, Hugo just returned from a long-distance trip and was in a good mood.

"Brian...Herwison, my name is Brian Hewison. "The boy's clear eyes flashed with excitement, and he could clearly feel his excitement at this moment, which made Hugo sigh.

Perhaps, this young man named Brian Hewison will become a top paparazzi in the future and then explore his life without any means, but at this moment he has no right to dissuade him. This feeling is really strange, which makes Hugo unable to help but smash his mouth.

"I want to say that I hope you will be doing well in the next...uh, work, everything goes well. But after thinking about it carefully, I decided not to say this, so as not to make me unhappy." Hugo pursed his lips and said seriously, making all the paparazzi burst into laughter again.

Daws felt the warm breath of Hugo, which made him feel much more relaxed.

In fact, there are many people in the media reporter circle who don’t like Hugo. Because Hugo has repeatedly challenged the authority of reporters and has repeatedly defeated the reporters. Although it can create news explosion points, the self-esteem of reporters has been challenged.

But strangely, even so, there are still many reporters willing to speak for Hugo. They have always been willing to protect Hugo's reputation and praise Hugo, not even for fame and fortune.

Now, Daws could vaguely feel the reason, but at the same time he remembered the famous Anthony Bond Stewart. He had never seen Hugo and Bond face each other head-on, and he was a little interested now.

During the gap of thinking, Hugo had already taken steps and left along the street.

The paparazzi stood there and looked around. Obviously everyone was thinking about what to do next. In the end, four paparazzi turned around and left. It can be seen that they wanted to grab the exclusive and released the news as soon as possible. The newspaper may be too slow, and maybe the radio station is a good buyer.

Two other paparazzi ran towards their car, but they did not drive away after they got back in the car. Daws guessed that they were contacting more colleagues to come and take photos. They were not satisfied with just taking a little photo of Hugo. They hoped to take photos of Hugo visiting the set and Hugo and Cameron dating, so they needed to do more preparations. Everything happened suddenly.

For the time being, Daus and Brian were the only ones who stood there. The two looked at each other, and then said nothing, and took steps together to follow Hugo's pace.

They followed Hugo around Burbank's streets and alleys for ten minutes. Daws strongly suspected that Hugo did it on purpose. Hugo wanted to throw away their tails, because Daws clearly saw Hugo passing through the "Dinner of Death" three times, but Hugo didn't go in, just passed by with a daze on his face.

As a result, when Hugo appeared at the door of the "Dinner of Death" studio for the fourth time, he finally showed a happy expression and walked into the studio.

Daws and Brian looked at each other, and Brian hesitated for a moment and asked, "What should we do now?"

Daws choked in his throat with one sentence, "Don't you know we are competitors?" Brian's youthful expression once again showed shyness and restraint. Daws couldn't help but sigh, "If you are bolder, sneak into the studio and you will definitely be able to take first-hand information; if you are more conservative, you will be at the entrance and exit of the studio, and wait patiently."

Daws didn't know what was wrong with him, so he actually started to guide this little boy.

Brian lowered his head and bit his lips for a while, then looked up at Daws, "So if I get in and take photos, can you guarantee to contact the media for me?" Brian knew that he was still a newcomer and did not have enough sales channels. Moreover, those newspapers often lowered the price when they saw him young, but Daws was different.

Daws couldn't help but choke again, but it must be admitted that Brian, a minor, had too many advantages, at least the possibility of sneaking into the studio was much higher, "Are you going to share the money with me?"

"I'm six and you four, how about it?" Brian seemed to have no idea about the market and said casually.

But Daus thought seriously, nodded and said, "Trade." Then Daus took Brian and walked towards the opposite side of the studio gate, "I tell you, wait for me to restrain the guard at the door, and then you pretend to be a loyal Hugo fan and followed him all the way. Remember, "Dinner of Death" is just an independent crew, and the guards are not strict. As long as you keep a confused expression on your face, you have a chance to succeed!"
