Chapter 1602 1602 Popularity frenzy
"Baobo..." Daus Carter kept pressing the horn of the car, but the long car array in front of him had no intention of moving at all, which made him anxious. Less than ten minutes ago, Daus received the latest news from his informant, and Hugo appeared in the block ahead, which made Daus suddenly excited.
Since he was upset by Michael Jackson, Daws's position in the paparazzi industry has been rapidly improved. In the past year, he has developed into the boss of a small gossip collection company. He currently has five gossip reporters who specialize in collecting gossip in the Hollywood circle and then sell it out with Daws' huge connections.
Currently, the only two minors in the paparazzi industry, Brian Hervesen and Austin Vecchidek, have become employees of Daws due to their fate in Burbank. Daws knew that Hugo was quite caring for these two little guys, so he handed over the Hugo line to them and went to work on other artist lines.
However, the recent "Independence Day" frenzy has made the whole Hollywood closely connect with Hugo, and Daws has been seeking Hugo's gossip. Of course, with his friendship with Hugo, if he gets negative news, he will first tell Rick Rosen to prepare for the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company in advance. Similarly, Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company will often leak clues to him, which is a win-win situation.
But Hugo's whereabouts have been a mystery recently, and it is not easy to interview Hugo. Today, Daws was very excited to get the news that Hugo actually appeared. He happened to be less than two miles away from the origin of the news, so Daws ran over immediately.
However, only two miles away, Daws was stuck at the second intersection for ten minutes.
Posing his head out of the car window, looking at the long dragon formation in front of him, he had no intention of moving at all, and he couldn't even see where the end of the traffic jam was. Daus hesitated for a while, grabbed his camera equipment, then got out of the car, ran forward, and waited for this street, Daus's pace involuntarily slowed down at the intersection of traffic lights: because the scene in front of him was really spectacular.
The surging crowd could not count how many people were. The endless crowd spread out in sight, surrounding the entire street. The entire street was completely blocked from the walking path on both sides to the roadway in the middle, and there was no space, so the cars were forced to stay in place and unable to move.
Daws even saw a traffic police car being stopped fifty yards across the street, which made the traffic police have to get out of the car and jog over and carry out road clearance, which is really funny.
Ten minutes, only ten minutes after Daws received the news, the whole street was blocked. Such a momentum was really too terrifying. If Daws wasn't sure whether Hugo was really here before, then there was no doubt now. Apart from Hugo, no one can create such chaos in the land of the United States now, even Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks can't do it.
The sea of people in front of us is like a vast ocean, surging up and down in the strong wind. The booming waves are mixed with wind and rain, and the heat waves that are rushing towards us make people suspect that it is still midsummer July. It is hard to imagine that this is just an ordinary residential street, not a concert or premiere scene.
Daws wanted to interview Hugo, but he was powerless. If the sea of people who had been entangled in front of him did not evacuate, let alone the interview, there would probably be an accident next. Looking at the faces that were distorted because of being too excited, Daws's heart surged again.
So, Daws began to help the traffic police and assist their work, evacuating the people on the outside. Daws grabbed an ordinary citizen who ran forward frantically and said seriously, "Calm down! Calm down! Hugo is not here, Hugo is not here at all!"
The visitor was stunned and looked at Daus in surprise, "What did you say?"
Daws said with great certainty, "Look at these people have lost their minds, Hugo is not here at all. Think about it, how could Hugo appear here? It is not Beverly Hills. Even if you go up and join in the fun, you can't see anything." Daws knew that only in this way can the crowds be gradually evacuated. What's more, looking at the crowds in front of you, even if Hugo is here, you can't see even a hair.
The visitor looked at Daus again with suspicion, but Daus nodded vigorously without any guilt, "Believe me, you won't want to waste time."
The visitor believed it and said cursingly, "Damn it, I actually lied to me. I'll catch him next time, so I won't teach him a lesson." Then he turned around and left.
Daus did not stop, and then began to persuade other people around him. Seeing Daus's actions, the traffic police also joined the ranks of maintaining order. A small number of people who had recovered their sanity also realized that the scene was so chaotic that there was a risk of stampede accidents at any time, so they also joined the ranks of helping.
One after another, the boiling crowds of people at the scene began to cool down gradually, and the dense crowds spread out in groups of three or three. Even though more than 30 people helped evacuate the crowd, it took nearly half an hour to restore traffic on the scene. More than 50 people were still gathered on the roadside, completely congesting the 7-11 convenience store next to it.
At this time, Daws saw Hugo in the crowd.
Hugo's hair was a little messy, his handsome face turned red at this time, and his irritability and helplessness were clearly written on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, making him look embarrassed. The media has not seen Hugo in such a mess for a long time, but he didn't expect that Hugo would be in a dilemma because of the fanatical movie fans.
Before Daus could go forward, he saw a reporter rushing up on the other side of the street, pushing away the fanatical crowds around and starting to squeeze in. Daus then realized that although he had received the news as soon as possible, in Hollywood, a group of jackals, tigers and leopards gathering places, if you don’t pay attention, not only will the advantage of exclusive interviews disappear, but it is very likely that even the qualification for group interviews will be lost.
Daws quickly calmed down and ran up quickly. He had seen at least nine peers in his sight, and he knew that it must be more than that. It took so much time to evacuate the crowd just now, and now almost half of Los Angeles should know that Hugo is here.
Although the crowd around had been evacuated at this time, the more than 50 people in front of him were still completely entangled and unwilling to leave at all. Daws and other colleagues were trying every means to get in. The crowd was moving towards the side little by little. Although they were still in the area at the door of the 7-11 convenience store, they were slowly moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Daws used his years of experience in paparazzi, and crawled in from below, then suddenly stood up, relying on his strong figure, occupying a space. The people around him suddenly became unstable in the center of gravity and began to loosen. Daws then began to squeeze in, and his speed was not at all. The crowd that had already piled up tightly was actually starting to relax.
As Daws expected, there must be more than a few reporters at the scene at this time. At this time, there were at least 30 reporters rushing over. At the same time, all the news media in the whole city were mobilized and moved quickly towards the place, just like moths flying into the flames. Countless moths rushed towards the bonfire with flames, desperately.
If you think about it carefully, it is not uncommon. In just ten or twenty minutes, Hugo was completely surrounded by the crowd and unable to move. When he went out, he was stuck five steps away at the convenience store entrance. At this time, he was still stuck in place. The bunch of marshmallows was obviously beyond control.
The fanatical tendency of ordinary people is a focus that cannot be missed for the news media. What's more, it is the second week of September, and the box office of "Independence Day" is strideing towards 500 million. No media can get an exclusive interview with Hugo, which has already annoyed the media. In addition, there are several news points that have been maintained on Hugo recently, but reporters have no way to interview Hugo. Now, after finally capturing Hugo's whereabouts, how can reporters let it go easily?
The scene that was slightly controlled just now became mixed again because of the reporters' successive succession. The crowd surrounding Hugo began to expand again, which made the traffic police busy maintaining traffic order suddenly nervous and rushed towards here, trying to control the scene as soon as possible.
Although Daws did not look back, he could clearly feel the crowding and heat waves coming from behind, which forced him to speed up his movements. Finally, he finally squeezed into the innermost part. There were two people between him and Hugo. He quickly shouted, "Hugo, are you confident that the box office of "Independence Day" exceeded 500 million? Why are you unwilling to accept exclusive interview invitations from major media? What are your plans next?"
Daws vented all the problems, fearing that he would not be able to catch Hugo again if he missed the opportunity. But Daws was disappointed, because Hugo did not look back at all, but just looked at the route on the right, and then kept moving slowly. The stiffness of his face showed that he was gritting his teeth at this time, and the sweat as big as beans on his forehead clearly felt his boiling moment.
Obviously, the situation in front of him has made Hugo feel anxious. He has no time to accept interviews and does not bother with the reporters, so he has no intention of responding.
Daus couldn't help but start to get irritated. These sanity-lost movie fans did have the ability to drive anyone crazy. He felt like he was about to explode in less than five minutes after he came in. However, before Daus could come up with a solution, he found that Hugo had stopped and began to retreat.
Back? Why go back?
