Chapter 1214: 1214 The disaster of Chiyu
Hugo was erecting a corpse on the sofa in the living room of his home. A basketball game was playing on the TV, but Hugo's spirit was not here at all. He was wandering around the world, and even no one knew about the match against both sides.
The "Seven Deadly Sins" were officially completed three days ago. Hugo felt extremely regretful, full of energy but nowhere to use it. The symptoms of acting addiction are like an addict, which made Hugo lie on the sofa in a depressed manner and doesn't want to move. Alex officially joined the crew of "Brave the Deadly Island" last week, Charlize went out to run, Joseph and Carl went to the company, and Fujin went to Al Bar to help organize an underground band competition... Now Hugo is the only one left, raising the corpse at home.
A gust of wind came outside the window, and the sound of leaves rustling, mixed with scattered discussions, "Are you sure Hugo hasn't gone out today...", "He has been resting these two days...", "Hey, look at Hugo's takeaway box last night..." The trivial sound was like the sound of cicadas in midsummer, flowing slowly in the hot air, making people anxious, but helpless, just treating it as the background sound of the electric fan noise.
Michael Jackson cleansing up grievances was nothing like Hugo, because in any report, Hugo was just like Catherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. As the person who supported Michael at the time, he was never the protagonist. But after Michael joined the Enemy Elite Agency and then publicly expressed his gratitude to Hugo at a press conference, Hugo had no peace.
Hugo was still on the crew of the "Seven Deadly Sins" two days ago. The crew's blockade was useless at all, and almost made the reporters break in directly, scaring the entire crew out of a cold sweat. The previous confidentiality work has been done well. I won't wait until the filming is finished!
The crew then completed the filming without any danger, and Hugo's residence became a gathering point for the media. For three consecutive days, at least two-digit reporters were waiting downstairs.
For these reporters, interviewing Hugo's view on the entire incident is crucial. They not only want to ask Hugo's idea of supporting Michael so much, but now finally waiting for the truth to be revealed; at the same time, they also want to ask Hugo's role behind Michael's joining the Enemy Elite Brokerage Company; in addition, they also want Hugo to express his opinion on the condemnation of the witch trial. Of course, if Hugo can "swear" again, it would be perfect.
Although there are concerns about protecting his bald image from being exposed, Hugo essentially does not want to cooperate with this hype. Michael is the protagonist of the entire incident and he does not want to divert the focus.
Hugo looked at the TV with his eyes blankly, and his mind had already thought of the "Seven Deadly Sins" where the Black Forest Cake was the best. Suddenly the phone rang, pulling him back from his infinite thoughts. He sat up suddenly, but found that he used too much force and his head was dizzy. He sat there for a while, but the phone ring still kept thinking about it.
Hugo stood up slowly, closed his eyes and walked to the phone, groping and picking up the receiver, "Hello, this is..." Before he could finish his words, he heard the other party say a lot of words, but his head was obviously slower in response, and he only understood that Charlize was on the other end of the phone, "What? What did you say? You said slower. I was sleeping just now, and now I reacted a little slower."
Charlize was speechless about Hugo's laziness and said depressedly, "I'm on the fourth floor now, and there are reporters guarding the door of the third floor. They're always there, how can I go back!"
Hugo paused for a moment before reacting and couldn't help but say in surprise, "How did they come in?"
In the past two years, the paparazzi have been watching Hugo closer and closer, and they can almost be said to be pressing forward step by step. Before Daws Carter went to follow the Chandler family, he used this 24-hour tactic to monitor Hugo. But the paparazzi have never gained much. On the one hand, because Hugo's personal life does not have many secrets and is willing to publicly admit that there are too few things worth digging, which stimulates Mr. Bond to attack Adam Lancaster directly; on the other hand, it is because Hugo is disgusted with these things and is wary enough that he often pays attention to the protection of special activities, such as this is true this year.
Hugo's residence has never been invaded by paparazzi, not because of how advanced his residence protection measures are, but because in the current news environment, paparazzi still have a certain professional ethics.
The paparazzi in the 21st century used almost everything, eavesdropping on phone calls, privately trespassing private houses, hacking computers and other means, which was completely a life-long version of the agent level. Especially in the context of extremely developed Internet, the difficulty of artists in protecting their private lives has increased sharply, and they are all miserable.
But now the paparazzi are not crazy enough to this extent.
There is an iron gate at the gate on the first floor of Hugo's residence, so the paparazzi never crossed the thunder pool. Charlize was one of Hugo's roommates and has not been discovered yet, which is the most important reason.
Unexpectedly, today the paparazzi invaded directly and guarded the door of the third floor, which really surprised Hugo. "How did I know!" Charlize said angrily, "I just came back from running, and then I saw three reporters squatting at our door, which scared me. I had to pretend to be calm and trot all the way to the fourth floor! If Joe hadn't left a key on the lintel, it would have been bad now!"
When Charlize recalled the scene just now, he felt lingering fear. When she came back from exercise, she was in a state of complete relaxation. After skillfully avoiding the annoying paparazzi downstairs, she was thinking about whether to drink water or take a shower after a while when she returned to the room, she saw a person sitting on the stairs, holding a camera in her hand, which scared her.
The reporter didn't care at all. He pressed the shutter first, and the flash light swayed so hard that she was dizzy. Charlize realized what was going on. Although he wanted to get angry, he could only pretend not to care. While greeting him calmly, he walked upstairs.
Because he was worried that the reporter would monitor her behavior from behind, Charlize prayed countless times. The key that Joseph and his friends had to stay on the lintel must be there, otherwise things would be ugly. Fortunately, Charlize closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and touched it. Sure enough, he touched the key and then successfully hid on the fourth floor.
Although it is no longer a strange thing to see paparazzi nearby, even when they see Stewart Townsend, Charlize is not surprised when he sees Charlize home; this is the first time that the paparazzi has actually entered the building, as if they have entered their private lives. This fear and panic makes Charlize frightened.
Not only Charlize, but Hugo too.
Listening to Charlize's words, Hugo immediately knew what she was worried about, and couldn't help but feel a headache. If the paparazzi found out that Charlize was his roommate, he would definitely be unable to explain it all over, because they wouldn't care that Hugo and Charlize were just friends, nor would they care that Hugo and Charlize had dates, nor would they care that there was an Alex living besides Hugo and Charlize. Everything would change under the blood of paparazzi's gossip, and things would easily go out of control.
Hugo and Charlize this time can definitely be said to be a disaster. There was nothing they had to do with them at all. Michael Jackson was the focus, but inexplicably it was involved in them, and there were also signs of being more and more greedy, which really made Hugo speechless.
Life under the spotlight has never been simple. Almost every day there are surprises, but it is unknown whether it is more "shocking" or "happy".
"Wait, I'll go over and take a look." Hugo put down the receiver, walked to the gate, looked out from the cat's eyes, and sure enough, he saw two paparazzi on the steps of the stairs, one guarding the downstairs and the other guarding the upstairs. Charlize said there were three, but another person did not see it, probably hiding next to the gate.
Hugo rubbed his aching temple. Although he had known for a long time that his private living space would be broken by paparazzi sooner or later, when the day really came, he still felt full of regret. However, he had no time to think about these things now, so he could only quickly go back to the phone and pick up the receiver again, "You stay upstairs first. I'll go out for a jog now, you can pay attention to the situation yourself, and then go downstairs."
Hugo originally wanted to call Rick or Henry, but in fact, the agent could not solve the problem even if he came over. Instead, it would make the paparazzi suspicious, and maybe he would give the paparazzi an opportunity to take advantage of it. After thinking about it, it would use himself as bait to lead all the paparazzi away. This is the wisest way to do it.
After hanging up the phone, Hugo went back to the room without any pause and changed into a sportswear. He did a simple warm-up first. On the one hand, he staggered the time when Charlize returned from running, and on the other hand, he also moved his body. He had just been in a daze and half-awake, but suddenly he was frightened by this, feeling dizzy in his head and had to warm up.
After he was ready, Hugo pressed his baseball cap. Although his head began to grow hair again, it still needed to keep it confidential. Then he pulled up the hat and put it on, then opened the door and looked like he was ready to go out for exercise.
As soon as Hugo left, someone jumped out on the right side and then started taking pictures. The sudden flash made Hugo startle and was frightened even if he was mentally prepared. What's more, Hugo is trying to make these paparazzi believe that he doesn't know their existence at all. Hugo frowned and pulled the sides of his hat, covering his face, and ran downstairs with impatient look on his face.
The paparazzi sitting on the stairs below immediately stood up and stopped Hugo's whereabouts. "Hugo, may I ask about Michael Jackson..." The paparazzi said as soon as he said, his mouth immediately turned round, and his eyes seemed to fall out. Hugo supported the railing with his right hand, flipped his body lightly, and then flipped from the stairs on the third floor to the stairs below. Then he took a step down in three or two steps, then turned around and disappeared on the first floor.
When the reporters chased down, the sound of the iron gate opening came from the first floor.
Chapter completed!
