240 Waves
Nicholas McLaan was so excited that he could barely contain his excitement, and even his hands began to tremble as he took pictures, and the scene in front of him was the rarest sight of any journalist's career.
It's like seeing a breakup of male 'female' friends scolding each other and accusing each other, and today they are confronting each other head-on, and the popularity of the scene immediately rises by 50 percent; Or when you see an undying enemy 'confronting' each other, and there is only one winner in a life-and-death battle, the "fine" color of the scene immediately doubles. Now, the "defendant" and the "plaintiff" of the Golden Globe Celebration Banquet beating incident collided head-on, and you have completely restored the incident back and forth, and the verbal confrontation between Hugo and Anthony is even more 'fine' than the fist-to-flesh fight scene.
Nicholas began to piece together the original picture of last night's events based on the words of Hugo and Anthony, and his opinion of Hugo changed more and more. In fact, it is not difficult for reporters to speculate on the whole story, it seems that Anthony deliberately slandered and slandered Hugo, 'provoked' Hugo, and Hugo beat Anthony with his hands.
There is no doubt that the wrong party in such an incident is Hugo, because the so-called "slander" of the artist by reporters is just a means of pursuing the truth, and Hugo can deny that he can ignore it, but he cannot respond by force. Therefore, even after the truth is revealed, it is still Hugo who suffers, which also makes Anthony fearless. What's more, Anthony's wolf-bèi's unbearable dilapidated appearance has aroused countless sympathy voices, which shocked the reporters who are his fellow reporters.
Faced with such a dead end, Hugo launched a Jedi counterattack. Last night, Hugo's impulse in the face of slander was still immature, young, and even stupid, and he knew at a glance that he was an inexperienced young man, but today Hugo has a new look, and the head-on confrontation with Anthony brings back the disadvantage little by little, which really makes people applaud.
As soon as Hugo 'appeared', he put on a gesture of sincere apology, and the sincere apology undoubtedly made people see the sincerity of Hugo's "repentance", which first won a favor in people's hearts, and this first impression is crucial and decisive; Later, in the face of Anthony's accusations and quibbles, Hugo not only did not hurry, but calmed down, 'pumped' the cocoon with a calm attitude, and guided everyone step by step to restore the truth.
As I said before, even if everyone knows the truth, it is always Hugo who makes mistakes. But Hugo's cleverness lies in the fact that he did not run away from his mistakes, he had already realized that he was wrong, and at the same time quietly used wine 'essence' to foreshadow, and then shifted the topic to the issue of slander, which immediately diverted the focus.
Thus, the current event becomes: it is not right for Hugo to beat people, this is a fact; But Anthony maliciously slandered Hugo, which is also wrong, and it is also true.
The whole situation has quietly changed.
Nicholas almost wanted to applaud Hugo and send his praise, from last night's overwhelm to today's calm response, Hugo showed a strong learning ability, although Hugo is still a little impatient today, he still seems a little anxious when pursuing the slander issue, so that Nicholas sees the flaw, and Nicholas also believes that many reporters present have seen the flaw, which shows that Hugo still needs to continue to grow; But it is undeniable that the 'confrontation' between Hugo and Anthony is still 'fine', which can definitely be said to be a great joy in the careers of journalists.
Anthony is not a weak person, he was able to 'play' Hugo and Joseph in the palm of his hand last night, which shows his ability, but today it was Hugo's mental calculation and unintentionality that let Anthony fall into the trap and reversed the situation. But Anthony still had no intention of disarming and surrendering, and he also saw through Hugo's plan, so he immediately thought of a coping strategy.
"No, I didn't, I just asked you to confirm the rumors, I heard about . Sunburn unhunn), the creation of the song、about. Oprah's talk show, the show is a rumor that has been discussed and created in advance, and I ask you for verification, you can give me an answer, but why should you be angry? Don't...... Could it be that this qiē is all true? ”
Anthony's words really have the ability to reverse right and wrong, and it can be seen from here that he has the ability to fan the flames, and he quietly released the plagiarism and the deliberately arranged explosion of the show.
You must know that the reason why the "Oprah talk show" has caused such a wide range of discussions is that it is not enough to just "sunburn" out of "color", and the miracle of Hugo's "Seven Steps" is definitely a crucial catalyst. Not only Anthony, but countless people are suspecting that this "seven-step song" was deliberately arranged, Oprah agreed with Hugo in advance, Hugo had already completed the creation, and then deliberately rendered it on the show to amplify the effect of the show, so as to create a sensation.
Now, Anthony has branded these explosive points as a "rumor" gimmick, and Hugo is even more "annoyed and angry" because of this, which makes reporters have to think 'messy'. Anthony's move is indeed very strong.
Joseph immediately thought of how to deal with it, and now he finally calmed down completely, knowing that the reason why Hugo chose to confront him today was to take the initiative to make all of Anthony's plans 'exposed', and Hugo could dismantle in person to resolve part of the crisis; On the other hand, it is to blur the focus, and spread out the whole course of the incident to say that Hugo expressed his apologies for "beating people", so Anthony must also be responsible for his "slander".
Such a purpose can only be maximized if it is confronted head-on. But at the same time, the danger is magnified several times over. However, if you don't enter the tiger's 'den', you will get the tiger's child, which is the proportional effect of risk and return.
Joseph's calm brain was running quickly, and he wanted to refute Anthony at the first time, because Hugo did not speak at the first time, but then Joseph realized that now Hugo was the answer, and the effect was the most important, and the effect would be much weaker after his agent's mouth. So, Joseph had to believe in Hugo, and he could only believe in Hugo.
One second of time, usually just a "tick", fleeting, but in the high-speed 'exchange' confrontation, a second of blank is equal to speechlessness, equal to acquiescing to the facts, which is absolutely fatal. Hugo, on the other hand, never spoke, so after Joseph's head turned at high speed hundreds of times, he had no choice but to speak, "Are you finally willing to listen to Hugo's answer now?" You keep saying that you are asking for verification, but Hugo has already responded to you yesterday, but you don't listen at all, are you willing to listen now? ”
Joseph said this sentence from the perspective of a bystander, which is obviously much stronger than Hugo's own crying "You don't listen to my explanation", although Joseph's status as an agent will weaken some effect, but this sentence is still very effective at this time, so that Anthony can't help but be stunned.
Hugo was reminded by Joseph, and immediately reacted, "I sued you yesterday about the rumors of plagiarism, which is ridiculous, I hope you can give me an explanation, if you have evidence to prove that I plagiarize, I will absolutely accept the sanction in accordance with the law, I will accept any result, if not, you must apologize for your remarks"
Hugo was shocked again by Anthony's ability to reverse right and wrong just now, even if the two sides were confronting, Anthony was still full of lies, which was really unbelievable. But Hugo also realized that this is not a courtroom, and the reporters below are not judges, so Anthony's lying is instinct and his last resort. After being awakened by Joseph, the inexperienced Hugo immediately came to his senses and launched a counterattack again.
"About. Oprah's talk show, you have the right to question, but the entire program team and all the viewers who participated in the recording that day can testify for me. Even if you still don't believe me, I will never be ashamed because I am honest and have a clear conscience, I may not be a creative genius, but at least I am an honest musician and I have no doubts about my ability."
After Hugo came back to his senses, he fought back one 'wave' after another, not only explaining the problem clearly, but also blocking back all the words that Anthony might have produced later, "So, you'd better show evidence to prove yourself, otherwise you're an insult to me as a music creator, and you have to apologize for your remarks"
Hugo brought up the matter of getting Anthony to apologize again, this time Anthony was speechless, his head was already exhausted, and in desperation, he could only return to the most basic identity of the injured again, wailing, "Oops...... It hurts, it really hurts......"
Anthony's clumsy acting skills were really ridiculous in Hugo's eyes, but this time Hugo did not let his guard down, he bowed again and apologized to Anthony, "I apologize again for my impulsive action that damaged your personal health, it was my fault, there is no doubt about it." After saying that, Hugo straightened up and looked at the reporter, "However, I also hope to get an apology from Anthony for maliciously slandering my personal reputation, which I deserve."
Hugo's humble and non-arrogant words made the reporters on the scene shine, and many people wanted to take the lead in applauding Hugo, but it was a pity that Anthony was so wolf that he couldn't bear to wail, and the reporters were not good at blatantly applauding Hugo. Nicholas secretly gave Hugo a thumbs up, but Hugo didn't buy it.
Hugo heard that the "Los Angeles Times" had fallen into the trap for himself again this time, and originally thought that the relationship with Nicholas had improved, but now it seems that Nicholas is just an ordinary reporter, and there is no so-called 'friendship' at all, he is a typical reporter who sees the news and grasps the breaking point.
Originally, Hugo thought that he and the reporter could produce a "revolution that fought side by side." Friendship of life", but now it seems that it is clear that Hugo was too naïve.
Now that the truth of last night's brawl has been revealed, it is so fast that it is unexpected, the trap prepared by Anthony has not had time to exert its power, and it was stirred up by Hugo, and now Hugo and Anthony are standing on the same starting line again, and then it depends on how these reporters interpret this matter: is it to support Anthony? Or do you speak for Hugo?
It is foreseeable that the news media are gearing up to brew a magnificent news storm.
