247 Overwhelmed
When exactly did this start?
After the success of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Female'", after the box office miracle of "Yihai Xiongfeng", it is still after the launch of "Schindler's List" in March last year...... Who is behind this? Apparently Tracy Jacobs, and it is estimated that Ron Meyer is also indispensable.
After the audition for "The Sugar-Coated Trap" appeared, Tracy and Lang happened to have frequent contact with Sidney for the "Schindler's List" project; Arnold, the producer of "The Outlaws", has just ended his collaboration with Michael Douglas, Lang's biggest actor...... Is this qiē all a coincidence? Apparently not.
If you want to think further, you can even guess that on New Year's Eve, Brad Pitt's agents Martin Baum and Tracy both had 'sex' talks with Uma respectively, and Uma stayed, and then Uma took Hugo to Malibu for a three-week vacation, and was really isolated from the world for three weeks; don't forget, Michelle Pfeiffer mentioned at the Golden Globe Awards that Uma was auditioning, but Uma shirked and did not tell Hugo the truth; Female' protagonist position......
I can't think about it anymore, and if I continue to think about it, Hugo feels that he will be drowned in his own thoughts, and he will fall into a situation from which he cannot extricate himself because of his own 'nonsense' thoughts.
Hugo looked at the newspaper and tried to calm himself down, he kept telling himself to calm down, but it seemed too difficult. Hugo took a deep breath and took another deep breath, but his 'chest' mouth was still stuffy, as if he couldn't breathe. Hugo told himself that this qiē was just his own speculation, not to mention whether the mastermind behind the scenes was Tracy and Lang, or whether the qiē of the great fallacy of the world was really just a coincidence, at least the part of Uma, Hugo didn't want to rely on speculation to draw conclusions. Ummah should have a chance to explain, and he should also have the right to know the truth: perhaps, Ummah has nothing to do with the whole thing.
Now that I think about it, on the second day of the Golden Globes, Hugo chose to take the initiative and confront Anthony head-on, although he was late for the audition of "The End of the World", which added credible evidence to the so-called "big-name suspicion"; But Hugo's appearance at the press conference ruined the whole plan, and the situation has changed dramatically.
Although there are many mixed discussions about big-name suspicions, various media have different opinions, so that public opinion is not one-sided, and there are even many remarks favorable to Hugo; And in the circle, everyone has their own exclusive channels, so that Hugo's innocence still retains a trace of pure land. It is conceivable that as long as Hugo persists in this 'wave' bombardment, and people know that this qiē is nothing more than the media's own hype, Hugo's positive image will gradually recover.
However, Hugo now has no time to congratulate himself on his bravery, and he has no time to worry about what will happen in the future, he just wants to know whether Uma becoming a candidate for the "female" protagonist of the "sugar-coated trap" is really a 'yin' scheme, or whether Uma still chooses the opportunity of the "sugar-coated trap" even though he knows the situation behind it, or is it just a coincidence.
Hugo hoped it was a coincidence, even if he was deceiving himself.
"Hugo......" Joseph looked at Hugo's smile that had finally recovered, and in an instant it faded away from the bloody 'color', and his whole face became pale and pale, which made Joseph feel uneasy in his heart, and he remembered the pain of Hugo when he broke up with the 'female' nurse, and the precepts. When poisoned, he was tormented by withdrawal reactions, and people did not look like people, ghosts, and ghosts.
Not only Joseph, but Charlize and Carl were also silent, and even Alex, who had always been cheerful, quieted down, and everyone looked at Hugo with concern, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously, lest one of their expressions would become the last straw that crushed Hugo.
Hugo slowly raised his head, and then 'revealed' a smile, yes, he smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just an audition." I'm happy for Uma, really. I'm fine. After saying that, Hugo pulled the smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't know what it felt, "Oh, I, I need to take a break." yes, I want to sit down and take a break, you know, didn't sleep well last night. Then Hugo took a deep breath, calmly turned around and walked down the hall, quietly sat down on the couch, and just sat quietly watching the NBA game being replayed on the TV screen.
Hugo was so calm, so calm that it didn't meet everyone's expectations, but made everyone's uneasiness grow like weeds.
Hugo's trust in Uma was seen by everyone, whether it was Joseph questioning Ummah's 'exchange' with Martin on New Year's Eve, or Anthony splashing dirty water on Uma at the celebration banquet, Hugo did not hesitate to stand on Umma's side, and Hugo did not doubt Uma afterwards, he trusted Uma so much, as if he treated this feeling.
From being cautious at the beginning, to being impressed by Uma, he approached Uma step by step. Looking at Hugo's cautious steps towards Uma, you know how difficult this trust is. But now that this qiē may all be ruined, one can imagine how severe and terrible the blow to Hugo will be.
The four of Joseph stood at the table, looking at each other and bewildered, and if Hugo had vented his anger, they could have done their best to comfort Hugo, who was now sitting there as quietly as if nothing had happened, and this unusual silence was so terrible.
"We shouldn't have said that." Dejectedly, Carl picked up his pen and wrote on the paper.
Charlize shook his head and wrote on the paper, "He'll find out sooner or later." Then, Charlize also glanced at Joseph, in fact, Charlize has always been at odds with Uma, but she didn't say much, the main thing is that she doesn't want to destroy her friendship with Hugo, because she is not sure if she has taken into account a personal relationship. However, Charlize's suspicion of Umma, Joseph has always known, but he did not expect to explode in such a way at such a moment.
Joseph read Charlize's eyes, and he originally regretted showing Hugo today's "San Francisco Chronicle", but now Joseph knew that he would have to face it sooner or later.
It's like in this big-name suspicious incident, Joseph has contacted more media in this week than he has in the past year combined, and while dealing with the incident in a hurry, Joseph has unexpectedly broadened his network a lot: the perspective of insiders is different after all, and many people can see that this time it is premeditated and deliberately targeting Hugo. Someone wants to target Hugo, and naturally there are people who support Hugo, this is the status quo of the media, only by grasping different perspectives can we stand out from countless media competitions, so many people are willing to give charcoal in the snow.
This incident has become an opportunity for Joseph to grow, and in the same way, Hugo can only solve the problem by facing it squarely, and escaping is always the next resort.
Looking at Hugo sitting quietly on the sofa, it seemed that nothing was going on on the surface, but Joseph knew that if it was a normal Hugo, he would definitely be lying on the sofa and lazy, and then put his right foot on the coffee table, and even lying down was not serious, let alone sitting, but at this moment Hugo stubbornly 'straightened' his waist and sat upright. The sturdy 'straight' back line seems to 'reveal' Hugo's last strength.
The big 'door' was opened, and everyone looked over in unison, and the only person who had the key to the third floor and was not there was Uma.
Sure enough, Uma Wolf hid in, and closed the big 'door' in a panic, she was wearing a hat and sunglasses, and a plaid scarf around her neck. Umma's brisk tone could tell she was in a happy mood, "Hey, everyone's here, good morning." Uma walked into the hall and immediately saw everyone there, and greeted him cheerfully.
Hugo stood up directly, smiled and made a close salute to Uma, and said as if nothing had happened, "How did you think you came here this morning?" It's not to tell you, the reporter has been hanging around here lately, so don't come over. ”
"I haven't seen you for a week, I miss you." Uma said with a smile, looking at Hugo, who was normal, and raised the supermarket plastic bag in his hand, "I also brought some food for you, you should be tired of ordering takeout every day." Uma walked to the dining room, ready to put everything in the fridge.
The four people standing in the restaurant looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on with Hugo, so they didn't know what to do for a while. Charlize was still the most sensitive, and she also learned from Hugo, trying to say in her most normal tone, "Alex, didn't you just ask me to play against you?" Let's go, it's lunchtime if you play again. Then, as usual, he simply nodded hello to Uma and pulled Alex, who breathed fire, towards his room.
Alex is not good at hiding his feelings, and he obviously has no way to give a good face to Uma.
Joseph and Carl also reacted, and Joseph coughed lightly, "That...... You, what have you bought? Lunch was originally planned to be called ......"
"Pizza!" Carl reminded from the side.
"Oh yes, pizza." Joseph said quickly.
"Basic cooking, I know you rarely do it at home." Uma placed the plastic bag on the table and began to take things out.
Joseph saw the "San Francisco Chronicle" on the dining table and quickly pulled Lakal, "Whew, then thank you very much." By the way, Carl, Charlize said that the wardrobe in her room needs to be moved, so you can do me a favor. Then Carl and the two of them slipped into the room of Charlize on the left side of the restaurant.
Of course, Uma noticed the abnormality, but she thought it was just everyone leaving space for her and Hugo, so she didn't think much about it, "Hehe, the seafood in the supermarket looks good today, I bought a little ......" After Uma took out all the things, he saw the newspaper on the table, and took it casually, and then he saw the words "San Francisco Chronicle", and then his eyes fell on the news in the upper left, which made the seafood in Uma's hand fall, and then he was stunned in place.
At this time, Hugo also walked towards the restaurant, still with a smile on his face, "What seafood?" It's too complicated to cook. Then he walked over to Umma's side and raised his hand to help.
"Hugo......" Uma looked at the newspaper in her hand, and then looked at Hugo, who was normal, and she didn't know how to react: Did Hugo see the news? If he saw it, how could he not react; If not, then why is the newspaper here? This feeling of uncertainty made the uneasiness in Uma's heart expand little by little, so much so that she didn't know what to do except call Hugo's name.
