355 Self-inflicted evil
After Hugo was once again forced to respond to the incident, the attitude of the media changed 180 degrees. Hugo still denied all the malicious speculation of the media, and did not start to break the news frantically and scold Uma as the media expected, on the contrary, Hugo even blamed the media for the fault and defended Uma. What's more, Hugo's attitude towards the protection of personal privacy has continued from the very beginning.
Hugo's gentlemanly and firm actions immediately contrasted sharply with Uma's initiative to break the news, which made the media's guns unanimously aimed at Uma, which turned the whole situation upside down, and in an instant Uma became the target of public criticism, and almost any media was willing to jump out and step on both feet.
As a last resort, Uma, who had been diving, was also blown up, and had to stand up again to clarify, saying that the previous remarks were just a misunderstanding by the media, and the most important thing about her and Hugo's ending of dating was a 'sexual' difference, and it was not a situation speculated by the media at all. Uma also generously said, "Hugo and I had a great time, and those memories are worth cherishing. ”
Apparently, Uma has reversed her two previous meaningful remarks, even if it is "slapping herself in the mouth", she must do so, otherwise things will only get worse.
However, the media obviously has no intention of letting Uma go, this hype incident has attracted so much attention, and the end of nothingness is that the 'wave' has taken too much 'fine' effort from the media, so they have made enough efforts to create another explosion point for this incident. Sure enough, it wasn't long before the "National Enquirer" was born again.
Anthony Stewart, he actually broke the big news, on New Year's Eve, Hugo and Uma, who were still dating at the time, did not spend this annual valentine's night together, which was too exciting. Although New Year's Eve is not a holiday such as Christmas, it is a time for everyone to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, so people do not want to welcome the New Year alone, at least they want to have a partner by their side to watch the New Year's bell ring and drop the colored ball in Rockefeller Square in New York.
Couples are naturally the first choice, and no couple will choose friends. Therefore, New Year's Eve is also known as the "day of the resurrection of the ex's 'friend' partner" second only to Valentine's Day throughout the year, and many people will send an invitation to their ex who is still single to spend New Year's Eve together in order to avoid being alone on New Year's Eve. This has also created many "New Year's Eve babies".
Then, Hugo and Uma, who were still dating at the time, didn't spend time together, which is not only exciting, but even more weird, and obviously there is an inside story worth excavating.
Anthony, a first-class master of making news, was not soft on Uma, and he broke the news in the second half of the news that Uma was spending the New Year's Eve countdown with a well-known agent that night! Although Anthony did not reveal the 'sex' life of this well-known agent, he did an investigation into the situation of Sidney-'Bo' Lack's family holding a party that night, and the whole process was described in great detail, and the real 'sex' was directly broken.
At this point, the media exploded completely.
Did Uma really cheat? That's an exaggeration. From Anthony's description of New Year's Eve, Hugo appears with Uma in the pieduì, but Hugo is the first to leave - leaving alone in the company of his agent, while Uma stays on the pieduì. This qiē is the same as "love is a lie" (your. love。 is。 a。 Although Hugo has repeatedly denied that the song has any direct or indirect relationship with Uma, the reporters once again used their own pen to connect the cause and effect of the incident, depicting "the truth of the matter".
So now the matter has evolved in the mouth of the media, Uma's cheating broke Hugo's heart, Hugo tried to redeem it, but it was unsuccessful, and ended the relationship in a sad and desperate situation. And Uma held a grudge after breaking up, so he tried to discredit Hugo in front of the media, but unfortunately the plan was not realized, but was seen by the media. But Hugo still did not fall into the ground, but showed a broad 'mind' as a man, not only insisting on the attitude of protecting the hidden 'privacy' to the end, but also defending Uma, in contrast, Uma, who was seen through the scheme, immediately shamelessly climbed up the pole, trying to redeem the previous negative impact, completely insatiable.
In the media version of this love story, which is not only bloody but also poignant, Hugo's image is tall in an instant, and Uma is reduced to a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. Although Hugo still did not give any interviews, he continued his previous attitude towards this matter and devoted himself to the performance of the band; Although Uma also did not give any interviews, hiding at home to recuperate, hoping that this 'chaos' and 'chaos' can be calmed down as much as possible, and the negative impact will disappear as much as possible, although the two people's practices remain the same, the media's interpretation has changed dramatically.
For Hugo, the media unanimously believes that he is a real man, with a man's 'heart' and strength, and as a victim, he did not collapse, but regained his strength and devoted his 'spirit' to his career;
The media is such a strange group, no matter how simple a piece of news is in their hands, they can diverge their thinking and make up shocking inside stories, looking at pictures and telling stories is just the basic skill, and the associative ability of the "fat" soap opera screenwriters who are not as good as themselves makes the entertainment news lively.
After entering the 21st century, with the increasingly powerful function of the Internet, almost everyone's life is transparent, and all clues can be found on the Internet, so the media's ability to "produce" news has also shown a geometric multiplier growth, and the news value mixed with fake news, exaggerated news, and boring news has been infinitely weakened, and business news is the real core.
In fact, this time Uma is already considered a "fluke", if in the 21st century, it is estimated that every love history of Ummah in the past will be excavated, and a misfortune will be related to 'sex'. Love. Videos or photos are hooked, and all kinds of negative news will follow, so that there is no respite at all.
I have to say that Uma is reaping the consequences.
Originally, Uma wanted to use the power of the media to hype up the news, so that her newly released movies would win more attention, and the development of the actor's career would seek a new breakthrough. If in the 21st century, there will naturally be more means to hype up the news, and the effect obtained will be magnified countless times, which are all complementary to each other.
But unexpectedly, the result was inexplicably reversed, and it seemed that it was just because of the song "Love is a Lie", and more importantly, Hugo also denied that the song had anything to do with Uma, but the timing of the song's appearance was too sensitive, so it created a series of follow-up effects.
Now, Uma is suffering from the adverse effects of hype news, she will be pointed at even when she goes out to the supermarket, and her recognition has skyrocketed, but not the positive kind, but those people will look at her with strange eyes, as if to say, "A good man like Hugo doesn't know how to cherish", which really makes Uma like a man.
In fact, this situation is no longer strict, after all, this is an open country, and many people have cast admiring glances at Uma, apparently expressing their admiration and praise for Uma's ability to play "multiple" men in applause. But this kind of vision is another kind of harm to Uma.
Whether it was a look of support or opposition, although no one said anything bad to her, these glances alone made Uma feel like she was in hell. At this moment, Uma really understood the situation Hugo faced after the Golden Globe Awards, and Hugo was the moment when he needed the most support from his companions, but she was not by Hugo's side, because she was worried about her situation and took care of herself, and what was even more terrifying was that the straw that made Hugo's bad situation at that time even more terrible was herself.
Uma doesn't regret it, because she doesn't allow herself to regret it, but she really understands the power of the media, which is really terrifying, not only from the ubiquitous surveillance and oppression of the "uncrowned king", but also from the subsequent impact of public opinion, endlessly.
If the same as life is only the beginning of a bad situation, then the impasse in her career is the real blow for Uma. In the midst of negative press, Uma's agent had to take a break from her for a while, and it wasn't a good time to look for a new job opportunity recently, even if the agent reassured her that it was only temporary, but it still left Uma frustrated.
How long will this evil result last? Uma suddenly felt very 'lost', this was the first time she had been 'confused' in nearly half a year, even when she broke up with Hugo, there was no negative feelings, and at this time, in the face of the stagnation of her career, she was swallowed up.
Opened the curtains, looking at the paparazzi at the door of the house, ready to devour themselves at any time, Uma only felt a bitterness in her mouth, and at this moment when she was stunned, the paparazzi noticed her movements, and the flash was immediately aimed at the windowsill and lit up wildly, Uma pulled the curtains back up in a panic, and the bitterness in her mouth kept rolling.
Uma couldn't help but ask herself: If she had known that the result would be like this, would she still choose to deliberately hype it? Sadly, Uma knows that she will still be like this, because this is her, facing a poor premiere situation, and Hugo has joined the crew of "Schindler's List", this hype is her best chance, even if it hurts Hugo, so she will still be like this.
So, what choice will she make the next time the opportunity arises again? Uma fell into deep thought.
