235 Huge Traps
The celebration banquet of the Golden Globes was not affected too much because of this "'episode'", people seemed to have long been accustomed to all kinds of conflicts on the party, but the group of friends who were more familiar with Hugo came up to inquire about the situation, the appearance of Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and others was expected, and the appearance of Meryl Streep was a little surprising.
"Oh God, Hugo, are you okay?" Meryl looked at Hugo with a worried expression, and she frowned when she glanced at Anthony, who was sitting on a stretcher and groaning into the ambulance.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Hugo felt a 'chaos' and 'chaos' in his head at this time, he knew that something big was going to happen, but due to his lack of experience in such a situation, Hugo seemed a little flustered. Therefore, Hugo has no way to think, he can only keep taking deep breaths to calm himself down, and only when he calms down, can his brain think. But at this juncture, it is clear that calming down is not so simple.
Meryl glanced meaningfully at Anthony, who disappeared into the ambulance, and then patted Hugo on the shoulder, "You know, provocations like this will never go away, and if you don't handle it well, the aftermath will keep coming." "Meryl only met Hugo today, but her first impression of Hugo was good.
The impression of Hugo is friendly and kind, and the warm smile cannot be disguised, it is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, but Meryl prefers to believe that a smile can reflect the temperature of a person's heart, and she can feel the warmth from Hugo's heart. So, even though she saw Anthony's tragic situation, she still knew that something must have happened here, otherwise Hugo would not have made a move. What's more, Anthony is a paparazzi, and when she hears that she is a reporter for the "National Enquirer", things are getting more and more complicated, and she is willing to believe Hugo.
Feeling Meryl's trust, Hugo only felt that there were countless words to say, but there was no clue, he could only grit his teeth in anger, and finally roared in annoyance, and said nothing.
Jack Nicholson stood beside him, looked at the young Hugo, and couldn't help but say irritably, "Did the damn reporter do something to find a fight again?" Deserve! These reporters just don't teach them a lesson, and they should know that we don't go to the zoo orangutans!"
Jack's temper tantrum is well-known in the entertainment industry, he is a big fan of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers, he will be there every time the team plays at home, and when the referee's decision is controversial, he will even jump up and point at the referee's nose and scold, and once received a ticket for it. And in the face of reporters, Jack never reins in his temper, so when facing Jack, reporters are often jealous.
"Jack!" Although Meryl believed in Hugo, she still disagreed with the violence, and she couldn't help frowning and shouting.
Jack and Meryl are known as the greatest male and female actors in the history of contemporary American cinema, and their 'private' and 'relationship' is very good. But after all, there was no more shouting.
Al Pacino, who was standing next to him, came out of his voice, "The fight is deserved, the fight just now was hard enough, which is not bad." When it comes to hard temper, Al's reputation is not inferior to others, and these words suddenly made Meryl's apricot eyes glare, but Meryl and Al's familiarity with Cheng dΓΉ was not so deep, so she didn't say anything. Al didn't care at all, and continued, "But how to deal with the situation in the future, you have to think about it." β
Al is never timid when facing reporters, once, a reporter tried to provoke Al and said some disrespectful words, but Al did nothing, just stared at the reporter with round eyes, stared at him motionlessly for three minutes, and made the reporter frightened and ran away. This incident has been widely circulated in journalist circles, and since then, few reporters have dared to challenge Al head-on
In the face of Al's latter words, Meryl agreed, "Regardless of whether there is a reason for this to happen, it is a fact that the reporter was beaten, which makes you occupy a disadvantageous situation, and after these reporters go back, they will definitely not miss it." Hugo, you have to deal with it, otherwise, the situation will only get worse. β
Hugo originally felt very irritable, but he was troubled by the three elders in front of him, but the love was precipitated, and he gradually calmed down, and the moment he hit someone, the love was vented, but this is not an ancient society where killing people is not illegal, but a civilized society where hitting people violates the law, not to mention a reporter - their weapon is their own pen, you can imagine the bad situation later.
"I know, I'll figure it out." Hugo struggled to calm his voice, then took a deep breath, "Thank you, Meryl, thank you." β
Meryl gave Hugo a hug and patted him on the back before leaving with Jack and Al. Hugo turned to look at Joseph, who was still panting, and Uma, who was still panting, and beckoned them to go home together.
The journey home from the Hilton wasn't long, but the atmosphere in the car was so low that it was almost frozen in the air. Uma and Hugo sat by the window, each with their own thoughts, and Joseph was even more 'gloomy' as he drove the car.
Opening the 'door' of the house, Alex, Carl and Charlize were all sitting in the hall, and when they saw Hugo coming back, all three of them greeted him, and the lively Alex was the first to speak, "Hugo, tonight's table is very 'good'! Don't worry if you don't win the award, there will be many opportunities in the future." But as he spoke, his voice grew quieter, and then he looked at Joseph with a dumbfounded expression
"Joe, what's wrong?" Karl frowned and asked, Joseph in front of him was dirty, and there were even blood stains on his chest, which made him look up and down for the wound, but he didn't see any obvious wounds, which made Carl feel very bad.
Charlize stood next to her, but she didn't speak, although she usually looked like a boy, but this could not change the fact that she was a 'woman', which can be seen by her carefulness at the moment. Charlize noticed that although the expressions of the three people were not good-looking, they were not too worried, which showed that it was not Joseph who was injured.
Uma was completely absent-minded at this time, her eyes were constantly wandering around, and she didn't even have time to be wary of Charlize, Charlize could clearly feel that Umma's aura was wrong today, which was too abnormal; The expression on Joseph's face froze into an iceberg, and a look of vigilance that no one could get close to was very bad; Hugo's brows were tightly furrowed, and his clear eyes were covered by eyelashes, and he could only feel the intricate worry.
"You guys got into a fight?" Charlize watched the silent three people walk to the couch and sit down, and said his speculation, which made both Alex and Carl look at her, "Or did you hit someone else?" Charlize hesitated to speculate.
Hugo took a deep breath, he knew that things would have to be resolved eventually, "Joseph and I called a reporter. β
"What's going on?" The excitement on Alex's face also disappeared at this moment, and he asked worriedly. Carl couldn't bear it anymore, sat down on the sofa, and looked at Joseph, "Joe, what's wrong?" Did anything happen at the celebration party?" Charlize and Alex also found a spot and sat down.
Joseph didn't speak, but his fists clenched again, and his tense cheeks showed that he was gritting his teeth again, and this burning anger made the three people who didn't understand the situation even sense that something was wrong.
Hugo glanced at Joseph, then closed his eyes, and let his tumbling thoughts settle down again, as long as he thought of Anthony's ruthlessness, Hugo felt as if his heart was roasting on the fire, but at this time he had to calm down, this was really a torturous and difficult task, "After the ceremony, I will go to the celebration banquet......"
Hugo briefly described the matter, although he didn't say too much detail about 'sex', but the whole thing was gradually depicted, which made the impulsive Alex jump up directly, "I'm going to kill that damn guy!" As a friend of Hugo's, it was difficult for him to keep his cool and let a friend who didn't know where to pop up insult him.
"He's already in the hospital!" Carl popped out with a sentence that made Alex freeze in place.
Charlize glanced at Uma deeply, but at this time Uma was immersed in her own world at all, to be precise, after everyone gathered around to pull Joseph and Anthony away, Uma seemed to disappear, always immersed in her own world, so she didn't respond to Charlize's eyes, but those lowered eyes fluttered around in a panic in the shadows.
Charlize looked at Hugo, then took a deep breath and said, "Alex, you're not helping. Charlize's anger at the moment will not be less than anyone present, she knows Hugo's dedication to music better than Joseph, Alex and others, she has witnessed Hugo's love for music, and she has personally experienced Hugo's devotion to music, she knows that someone insulted Hugo's creative talent, which is unbearable, but she also knows that anger can't help anything at this moment, "Hugo, you just said that Anthony did it on purpose?"
Hugo nodded, "When it was all over, Anthony looked at me and smiled. Hugo closed his eyes, trying to remember Anthony's strange smile," he laughed with a sinister smile on his face, as if there was no wound on his face at all, and then smirked. He ended up saying to me, 'You've lost.'" β
Hugo's words caused everyone to gasp, including Uma, who was immersed in his thoughts, and Joseph looked at Hugo in disbelief, as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water, and muttered, "This is a trap." β
