Michael looked at Hugo with an awkward smile in front of him, and the smile on his lips became bigger without realizing it. This was really an interesting young man. At this time, it can be seen from the whole process of watching the performance that Hugo was very polite. Even for strangers, he put his mind very well. Whether it was apologizing or smiling, he had full sincerity, let alone Hugo was focused and devoted during the performance. Such a young man could not be a big shot.

In fact, Michael is a very vigilant person. He believes that only children in this world will not lie. Hugo is not a child, but Hugo didn't know who the person next to him was just now, and there was no need to show him a stranger. More importantly, Michael could find a childlike cleanliness in Hugo's smile. Although Michael didn't know how Hugo was, at least in the matter of being a big shot, Michael knew that it should be a malicious hype from the media. And Michael naturally understood the so-called malicious hype from the media.

"What's the solution? This is our job, isn't it?" Hugo was very surprised by Michael's words. He didn't expect Michael to give him a positive response, and did not believe the rumors in the media.

Michael smiled and nodded, "Our best response to these rumors in the media is to be ourselves, because the truth will not be shaken by these rumors."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Hugo's head. He finally understood the reason why Michael took the initiative to talk to him! On the one hand, it was because he was an actor and was a fellow traveler. Michael would not refuse to contact some people in the circle; on the other hand, it was because of his professionalism during the watching drama that Michael became interested; but the most important reason was because of his recent similar experiences!

When talking about Michael Jackson, in addition to those miraculous achievements, the negative news that has entangled him throughout his life is also indispensable. These negative news also brought the ugliness of human nature to the extreme because of Michael's glory. In the end, this generation of legendary superstars gradually fell.

The saying "There are many people who are famous" has been most appropriately confirmed by Michael. As the most influential pop music superstar in the world since the Beatles, criticism has never stopped around Michael, including Michael sleeping in a high-pressure oxygen chamber to achieve immortality, buying the bones of Joseph Merrick, the 19th-century British "elephant man" Joseph Merrick (Joseph.mer) and so on. These absurd rumors have been spread in the media, making Michael unbearable.

This situation reached a peak at the end of last year. Michael, who was about to shoot a new advertisement for Pepsi, was rumored that he wanted to use a white child to play himself, which involved serious racial discrimination issues, which caused an uproar, forcing Michael to hold a press conference to refute the rumors. The "Oprah talk show" was also in this context.

Michael was born as a child star, and his black identity is well known, but throughout the 1980s, Michael began to gradually turn white and even turn into "white skin". Just like when Hugo saw Michael today, his snow-white skin was very eye-catching. So the media kept speculating maliciously that reporters believed that Michael was bleaching his skin, with the goal of becoming "white" and getting rid of his black bloodline.

This kind of behavior suspected of strong race, discrimination and denied blood has caused storms. Every time Michael travels, he will deliberately wrap himself tightly. Sunglasses, masks, and parasols have become essentials, and the media has caught a handle. This has also made Michael in the vortex of the storm. Under the strong exaggeration of the media, Michael's image has been severely damaged, which has also made Michael hate the media and even repelled the crowd.

In fact, this can be seen from the Rodney-Kim incident last year. For the sake of interests, the media can refer to deer as a horse, read pictures and tell things, and make the news free. This situation is common, and it also makes the United States’ self-proclaimed “media freedom” a joke. The American law gives great tolerance for the high freedom of the media, hoping that the media can dig out the truth, inform the public of the truth, and maintain the public’s right to know. However, the media is now using the tools in their hands to satisfy their own selfishness, and at the cost of hurting others.

The media's actions towards Michael are definitely even better than those of the four policemen in the Rodney King incident.

In fact, the reason why Michael's skin began to turn white is because he suffered from family-born vitiligo. The blackness turned white was due to skin pigment disorders, which made his skin covered with white spots. He had to use thick white foundation to cover up his disease. What's more serious is that Michael also suffered from skin disease lupus erythematosus, which not only caused uneven skin tone, but also likely caused death. UV exposure will accelerate the deterioration, so he had to take all protective measures every time he went out.

Michael clarified these explanations on the "Opra talk show", but Hugo knew that ordinary people had long been repeatedly slandered by the media to form a fixed impression. Even if they were willing to believe Michael's explanation in a short time, this was temporary. Once the media started to make a fuss again, people would attack Michael again like reeds in the corner.

The reason why Hugo believes in Michael so firmly is that after Michael passed away on June 26, 2009, the police conducted an autopsy because his death was abnormal, which also confirmed Michael's statement that he never deceived everyone.

This is the cruelty of life. It was not until Michael passed away that the bad rumors that had been entangled in him for nearly thirty years were truly revealed. However, people would never have a chance to express their apology. Compared to Michael, what Hugo had experienced in the past month was not even a drizzle, and at most it was a breeze. Hugo could not imagine what would happen to his life when he walked to Michael's position and endured such a terrible and terrible slander.

No wonder Michael distrusts the media and the public so much, no wonder Michael avoids direct contact with the public as much as possible, no wonder Michael refuses any form of interviews for a long time... Hugo can understand that he deeply believes that if he experiences everything Michael is now enduring, he may collapse. Trust has always been one of the most luxurious items in the world; as many people point to it, not everyone can bear the heavy burden.

This is why Michael is willing to take the initiative to talk to Hugo. Not to mention the same sympathy, at least Michael knows Hugo's current situation, and Hugo's focus on acting and his sincerity have become the reason why Michael stays there.

However, Michael still maintained his vigilance against strangers. Hugo would not forget Michael's retreat after he showed surprise at the beginning, and Hugo would not miss the details that Michael was always three steps away from him. The bodyguard next to him never relaxed his vigilance. This cannot be blamed on Michael, right? Hugo also thanked Michael for being willing to talk to him on his own initiative, even if it was just a little trust.

"The truth is indeed not shaken by rumors, but many times, the truth will be covered up by rumors. It is not that simple to restore its true appearance." Hugo looked at Michael and sighed meaningfully. This old-fashioned words made Michael slightly stunned, and then laughed.

"This is the fact." Michael nodded. Everything he is currently experiencing makes him understand that many times ordinary people are just "stupid". They become weapons in the hands of the media and work together to bury the truth. It is not that simple to clear away the thick fog in front of him. "The media always says that they are chasing the truth, but many times, lies are more liked than the truth, because lies can benefit them."

Michael said this to himself, murmured in a low voice, but at this time Hugo was highly focused, but he could hear it clearly. Then Hugo heard Michael raise his voice slightly and said, "Maybe, only children in this world will not lie. No, maybe, that's it." Michael's smile reopened, "So I'm always willing to get along with the children." What Michael didn't say was that Hugo's happy smile on his face when watching the drama was like a innocent child, which was also the decisive factor in his willingness to stop.

But when he heard Michael's words, the smile on Hugo's face suddenly froze because he knew that it was Michael's most trusted child who destroyed Michael's spiritual world twice and made Michael completely lose his trust in human nature.

The first time was this year, in the summer of 1993, a child named Jordan Chandler, under the instructions of his father, accused Michael of sexual assault on him, with the purpose of blackmailing Michael for $20 million. As a result, this incident caused an unprecedented uproar around the world. Countless media firmly believed that Michael was guilty, and used a public opinion storm to pressure the procuratorate like the Rodney King incident, which forced Michael to accept a very humiliating and formal investigation of sexuality. However, the police did not find any relevant evidence.

With insufficient evidence, the Chandler family still refused to let go, which caused a huge blow to Michael's mental and physical condition. On the one hand, the prosecution had no evidence to prove the so-called sexual and assault. On the other hand, Michael's physical and mental condition could not withstand the long-term litigation consumption, and finally the two parties reached an out-of-court settlement. Michael paid the Chandler family $22 million for this.

The second incident was between 2003 and 2005. Gavin.arvizo, who had suffered from cancer but could survive with Michael's help, revenge again and sued Michael for the charge of child. This time, under the condition of insufficient evidence, the procuratorate actually accepted the lawsuit request from the Avizo family under the pressure of media public opinion and forcibly initiated the judicial litigation.
