232 Frontal provocation

Hugo, Joseph, and Uma were all startled by the black shadow that burst out.

Although the corner where Joseph was located was not 'gloomy' and dark, it was also close to the back 'door', the light was not strong, and the attention of the three people was already on each other, so they didn't expect someone to suddenly pop out like a hungry leopard, so the three of them were frightened, and Uma couldn't hold back her screaming for a while.

Hugo just subconsciously pulled Uma behind him, and then saw this black shadow jump towards his cheek, but his hands were busy protecting Uma, and he didn't have time to react, only to feel a black 'colored' square as if it was smashing towards his cheek, Hugo's pupils subconsciously dilated, and he saw a huge object getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of the tip of his nose, which made Hugo break out in a cold sweat.

"Hugo, there is a rumor that ......" crackled a large number of words rushed out like a 'excited' light gun, hitting Hugo's brain that was in a 'chaos' for a while, Hugo knew that the dark shadow in front of him was talking, and he could hear every word this person said - although the other party was really fast and a little slurred, his brain could not make an effective interpretation.

"What?" Hugo frowned, panting slightly and interrupting the words of the man in front of him, he didn't understand what was happening at all, he just yelled in the hope of regaining the initiative.

Interrupted by Hugo, the black shadow in front of him finally stopped the mechanical behavior of frantically spitting words, which gave Hugo and the other three finally time to 'figure out' what was going on

The black shadow standing in front of Hugo is a reporter, the black box in his hand is a camera, and he interviewed the aggressive and annoying reporter half an hour ago, he looks like he is in his mid-thirties, his hairline has begun to recede, but it is not strict for the time being, the wind and frost on his forehead, the corners of his eyes, and his cheeks can be seen that he has experienced a lot of wind and sun, and his dark 'colored' eyes can't see clearly in the dim light, but he can feel the full' The light of shrewdness and calculation flashed. The tall man was only up to Hugo's chest, but he was very strong, and it could be seen that he was very solid, and he was unrecognizable when he was thrown into the crowd in a simple white shirt and black trousers, and the camera around his neck was estimated to be more expensive than his belongings combined.

In fact, this is a very ordinary person, the so-called public face is like this, and he will not pay more attention at all when he passes by, but his cobra-like eyes are enough to make people vigilant.

Hugo looked at the person in front of him just in the blink of an eye, and after the reporter gave Hugo time to react, he immediately began to ask, "Hugo, there are rumors that you think you can definitely win the Best Supporting Actor award this time, but in the end you didn't get it, what do you think?"

This explains why this reporter just now aggressively 'forced' people and kept holding on to this point. But the problem is that Hugo never said anything like this, not even as a joke - Hugo and Uma were on vacation in Malibu after the New Year, isolated from the rest of the world, and had little chance to express his opinion on whether the Golden Globe would win or not.

Uma stood behind Hugo, pushed back by this retreating force, she even stumbled twice, only to feel that it was panicked, but after hearing the reporter's words, she couldn't help but 'show' a surprised expression, obviously did not expect today's reporter's relentless pursuit. This made Uma subconsciously grab Hugo's back, but I don't know if it was to avoid falling down his body, or to make the movement in his heart 'swing' steadily.

Joseph stood next to him without hesitation, and immediately took a big step to Hugo's side, and he tried to intervene between the reporter and Hugo, but the reporter was obviously unwilling at all. Hugo felt Uma's hands on his shoulders, he couldn't help but take half a step back, leaning closer to Uma, he could even feel Uma's body temperature, which made both of them settle down a little, but the reporter immediately came up, without giving Joseph any space, and without giving Hugo much breathing space.

"Who are you? Which newspaper's reporter?" Instead of letting Hugo open his mouth to answer the question, Joseph tried to take over the initiative.

The reporter in front of him paused, his eyes rested on Hugo's face and looked deeply, as if he was considering whether to tell the truth or not, and then he walked around Joseph's face, and the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a strange and untimely smile, "Antonis Stewart (a), from the 'National Enquirer'. ional。 enquirer),。 You can call me 'Bond,' ”

The National Enquirer, the supermarket gossip tabloid with the largest circulation in the United States. Then Anthony's behavior is not surprising, because the "National Enquirer" is best at making things out of nothing, telling stories from pictures, fabricating facts, and of course, digging up the inside story is also one of their housekeeping skills.

As soon as Joseph was about to speak, Anthony continued to speak, "Hugo, what do you think about the rumors?" Do you have any special thoughts on Jean's award? Are you feeling disappointed?"

"Sorry, Hugo is not being interviewed." Joseph finally found the gap and stretched out an arm to keep Hugo and Anthony apart.

At this time, Joseph's heart was already tumbling at this time, and he couldn't believe Anthony's fierce pursuit, just because a "rumor" was too ridiculous, because it was simply bloody, and Hugo couldn't have said such a thing. Joseph wanted to shut up the journalist and get out of the way, but he couldn't be 'sexual', as an agent, he had the responsibility and obligation to defend Hugo, and at the same time he had to calm down and control the situation. So, Joseph suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Anthony through gritted teeth.

As the person concerned, Hugo heard Anthony's ridiculous question, and a nameless anger began to rise. Or, rather, it's not nameless rage, anyone who is splashed with dirty water on the face by a stranger is rarely able to keep his composure. Hugo has been in Malibu for the past three weeks, and he hasn't spoken to any of his friends about the Golden Globes at all, and his own attitude is definitely not what Anthony said, which is ridiculous!

Uma was standing behind Hugo, and all of Anthony's eyes were blocked by Hugo, but at this moment she could feel Anthony's viper-like eyes following her, and her hands on Hugo's shoulders seemed to be stained with venom, as if they were frighteningly hot, as if they could be melted and dissolved at any time. This startled Umma, who crossed Hugo's shoulder and cast a gaze at Anthony, but Anthony seemed to have expected it, and the terrifying gaze made Uma twist in his heart.

Hugo seemed to notice the trembling of Uma's hands, but at this time his brain was occupied by anger, and it was difficult for him to react other than to protect Uma with his body, he had just explained to Anthony that this qiē was false, but apparently Anthony didn't believe his explanation at all, so he closed his mouth, and then stared at Anthony with those clear eyes, in this way to express his protest and disobedience.

But obviously, Anthony didn't intend to stop there, he bravely met Hugo's eyes, the camera in his hand was still 'pressing' towards Hugo's face step by step, almost blocking two-thirds of Hugo's sight, the calculated light in those eyes disappeared, and became an aggressive 'force' people's tight 'force', "Sure enough, not long ago I heard that you played a big name, and I questioned the true 'sex' of the news, and I planned to verify it before releasing it, but today it seems that you are playing a big name!"

Although Joseph tried to isolate Anthony and Hugo, the effect was not very good, mainly because Hugo was protecting Uma behind him, so it was inconvenient for Hugo to turn around and retreat, so that Anthony could cling to Hugo and continue to 'press'. No matter what Joseph did, Anthony's viper-like eyes were fixed on Hugo, putting pressure on Hugo not only in terms of words, but also in terms of eyes

"What do you say! When did I play a big name!" Hugo didn't hold back this time, and directly retorted. First about awards, and now about big names, Hugo felt that this qiē was too ridiculous, and without realizing it, his hands were quietly clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his arms were 'exposed' to reveal the rising anger in his heart.

Joseph wanted to stop it, but now he is also angry, and some dirty water is ignored, for example, the first question just now, no one will believe Anthony's nonsense; But some slanders can not be ignored, such as playing big names, Hugo finally climbed to a peak again after a year, and now there are no further achievements, and rumors of playing big names will only make people feel that Hugo does not know the height of the sky, which is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, Joseph wanted to act as an agent, but anger made reason shake, not only did he not stop Hugo, but he also glared at Anthony fiercely like Hugo, and then shouted in a suppressed voice, "Anthony, you should know the consequences of slander!" There's never any evidence for what you say, so you'd better keep your damn mouth shut!"

"Chicago, Forever Street, remember?" Anthony obviously came prepared, in the face of the joint pressure of Hugo and Joseph, there was no pause at all, and he continued to 'press', "In the face of the enthusiasm of the fans, you didn't sign autographs, didn't take pictures, didn't hug, didn't even stay, you just turned around and left, so that the enthusiasm of a group of fans met the Siberian cold snap, you just just made a little progress, and you dare to treat fans like this, isn't this a big name?" Do you have to wait until you directly hit the fans?"

Anthony's unreasonable slander made both Hugo and Joseph's sanity begin to get out of control, both of them clenched their fists, and the atmosphere on the scene began to tense, as if it might explode at any moment.

Uma, who was standing behind Hugo, still had a little bit of reason, and she quickly patted Hugo, "Calm down, Hugo, calm down." Uma didn't know what to say other than this, because her brain was also a 'mess' and 'chaos', and she had no way to organize effective words, but reason told her that she had to calm down now.

But in the face of Anthony's repeated slanders, how can it be a simple matter to stay calm!
