Chapter 734 734 Paparazzi dispatched

Anthony Bond Stewart felt the strong wind keep hiking in his collar, and his body was trembling slightly. After looking around, he could only hide on the back of a huge rockery rock to hide, hoping that this rock could become a harbor for him to hide. In Los Angeles in March, you can actually vaguely see the footsteps of spring, but the violent sea breeze when night falls still makes people feel the power of winter.

Anthony closed his hands in front of his mouth and kept breathing, hoping to make his stiff hands slightly warmer, and stomped his feet hard to make his body active again. After looking at the two figures standing on the other side of the street, the two men also hid, one hiding behind the palm trees and the other squatting on the hillside, which was obviously his own companion.

Today, Anthony received a tip and heard that Hugo took Sandra to the mountain city for dinner. This made Anthony excited and entangled. The excitement was because he could finally find Hugo's explosive scandal and could directly catch evidence. It must be difficult for Hugo to argue; the confusion was because he was still a little afraid of Hugo. Looking at Hugo's transformation in the past three months since the end of last year to now, it is really difficult for reporters to take advantage of Hugo.

Anthony recalled the time when he fled around after the "Witch Trial" and was in a panic all day long, and was still trembling. Although he gritted his teeth at Hugo and wanted to fight back head-on, things were not that simple and easy. Every time he was still dominated by inner fear, even Anthony himself was very depressed.

But Anthony knew that unless he stopped being a reporter, he would not be able to avoid Hugo. Not only Hugo, he could not avoid any person reporting. This is the source of their paparazzi's life and motivation.

This time, Anthony finally mustered up the courage again. He knew that he would face Hugo sooner or later. If he had to wait for the so-called best time, he might never wait. It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to attack bravely, not to mention that today's opportunity is very rare.

"Speed ​​of life and death" has been a hot topic recently. As the protagonist Hugo and Sandra, it is really simple to involve a story that must be told. Moreover, for media reporters, fabricating scandals is beneficial and harmless. Even if the parties deny it, they can still make a fuss. Because the special nature of the scandal is false and real, the parties cannot fight back.

In other words, no matter whether the scandal is true or false, Hugo cannot fight back the reporters at least not a powerful attack from the moral commanding heights, which makes the reporters occupy a very favorable position.

Another reason why today's opportunity is so rare is that Hugo and Sandra appear alone, without crew members, no other friends, just two people alone, plus they chose dinner, and they are also one of the most romantic mountain towns in Los Angeles. This has largely annotated the relationship between Hugo and Sandra. Even if Hugo denies it, even if the reporters don't add fuel to the fire, people will take it for granted to automatically substitute the "scandal" into it.

So, as long as the reporters take photos of Hugo and Sandra leaving side by side, the scandal will be fulfilled. Of course, it would be even better if there are further or more intimate photos.

After comprehensive consideration, Anthony took the initiative to attack, and it was a long time.

When Anthony arrived at Shancheng, he was the only one and no other peers. This shows that Anthony, as a paparazzi, had a wide connection with him, which was actually a gambler. He was one step ahead of his peers and received the tips first, which means that the scandal had a great chance of becoming the exclusive one. Unfortunately, Anthony was unable to enter the mountain city for filming.

The reason why Shancheng is so popular is that its scenery and food are indeed excellent, and on the other hand, it is because the restaurant protects the best. In an era when mobile phones are not popular, controlling the huge camera means solving most of the troubles, and Shancheng has always supervised this point in place.

Anthony originally wanted to hide the camera and enter the interior of the mountain city, and then seek to bribe the staff to bring the camera in. Unfortunately, the appointments in the mountain city were already full and he had no way to go in. Then Anthony tried to bribe the restaurant staff, wanting them to help him take photos of Hugo and Sandra, but today Anthony was slower. The duty manager Amy realized the possible consequences of Hugo's arrival, so he became alert, so that those staff who were willing to accept bribes could not find any room to perform the task.

In desperation, Anthony could only be blocked outside the gate of the mountain city and waited quietly.

Although the mountain city is like a castle, Anthony found almost no gap to break through; but fortunately, the mountain city has no back door or side door, so customers can only leave from the main door, and the parking lot is also a two hundred yards walk from the main door, so as long as the advantageous position of the main door is guarded, Hugo will be in the jar.

Anthony went around and searched for restaurant staff to seek breakthroughs. It took more than half an hour. When he returned to the main entrance to find a favorable position, he soon found his peers. This was not surprising. This is Los Angeles, media resources and New York, which are probably not inferior to the spotlight. Every corner of the city is full of paparazzi's eyeliner. Others who can get the information Anthony also has similar channels to obtain. Only two peers came, which is rare.

Paparazzi was first born in Italy in the 1950s. At that time, popular newspaper editors in Italy published eye-catching news photos with the slogan "A photo is more expressive than a thousand words". This not only made the Italian popular newspaper industry develop rapidly and ranked first in Europe, but also gradually evolved the role of paparazzi into professionalization.

New York photojournalist Ron Clara (ron.galella) is known as the pioneer of paparazzi around the world. He has pioneered the spirit of relentless pursuit of paparazzi and brought the work of paparazzi to the extreme.

During Ron's paparazzi career, former first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Malone Brando were his greatest achievements.

In order to secretly film Jacqueline's private life, Ron followed her for ten years. Jacqueline was forced to lose her demeanor by Ron and had fought twice with Ron.

On September 24, 1969, Ron hid outside Jacqueline's apartment. When Jacqueline and her son Robert Kennedy Jr. walked out of the house, he pressed the shutter in his hand. After Jacqueline found out, he was furious and asked his bodyguard to "smash his camera!" Because Ron refused to hand over the film, Jacqueline's bodyguard finally escorted him to the police station.

However, Jacqueline's charge of harassment was rejected by the judge, and Ron believed that "my lawyer told me that Jacqueline should give me five hundred dollars in compensation, but she never gave it to me." For this reason, Ron sued Jacqueline instead.

This time, Jacqueline, who could not bear it, counter-prosecuted Ron for invasion of privacy, harassement and harassment, and eventually won. Ron was ordered by the court to keep a distance of more than twenty-five feet from Jacqueline.

In Ron's later memoirs, he said, "At that time, Jacqueline became my girlfriend." Because when he was following Jacqueline, if someone else offended Jacqueline, he would definitely rush forward to protect him without hesitation. Ron firmly believed from beginning to end that although Jacqueline sent him to court twice, she actually liked Ron to take pictures of her deep down, otherwise "she wouldn't have a bright smile in my camera so many times."

Ron's photos of Jacqueline were sorted out in total. He loved the most and most famous one. This photo was captured by Ron without Jacqueline at all without realizing that someone was following him. It became Jacqueline's most beautiful and natural photo. This photo is now regarded as a work of art and was collected by the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

In addition to Jacqueline, Ron also followed Malone Brando for several years. Once he followed Malone to the restaurant. After taking a lot of photos, he still was unwilling to leave. Even when Malone asked him "What else do you want?", he answered provocatively, "Take off your sunglasses and take pictures." As a result, Malone punched him hard, knocking out five of his teeth. But at the same time, Malone was also swollen by the bacterial infection on Ron's teeth and stayed in the hospital for three days before he recovered.

The most interesting thing is that this encounter did not keep Ron away from Malone. He still followed the irritable top star as usual. The difference is that he would always carry a rugby player's helmet, so that Malone would not hurt his head. For a long time after that, where Malone appeared, a paparazzi with a rugby helmet could be seen following him not far away, which also became a classic scene of media legend.

With the gradual rise of paparazzi and even becoming an important source of news for major newspapers, paparazzi gave birth to two factions, one is newspapers and magazines like "National Inquiry" and "Entertainment Weekly" that make a living by gossip. They will cultivate their own professional paparazzi.

Another type is that news agencies like the Associated Press are composed of professional paparazzi. They can actually be understood as private detectives. Their job is to monitor all the focus in the circle, and the information sources are spread throughout every corner of the city, even insiders. After collecting the information, they wait for the price to sell the information to major newspapers and magazines with the highest price.

Anthony himself was a paparazzi and changed his job and became a reporter. In fact, the paparazzi is still his specialty. The two colleagues he just discovered just now, hiding behind the palm trees, the one who should have seen the road in the parking lot. The palm tree is at the intersection of the road that must pass by the parking lot. Although Anthony did not see the front, he could guess that this should be a special paparazzi for gossip magazines such as "Entertainment Weekly"; while the one who was hiding on the hill occupied the high ground and controlled the restaurant gate from a high place. You can tell that it was a professional paparazzi.

It seems that today's competition may not be as simple as imagined.
