278 Ridiculous rumors
When the entertainment news media focused on the follow-up impact of the 36th Grammy Awards, the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", which had not been paid attention to, suddenly broke a piece of news that attracted the attention of many people.
The news, published by Anthony Stewart of the National Enquirer, began with the headline "Hugo Lancaster Suicide?" Such a terrifying headline attracted the attention of many people, and in this news, the accompanying picture chose a "credible" picture of Hugo being dragged ashore by a group of people.
Above the picture, there is a person with his back to the camera, he is being dragged onto the platform by a group of people standing on the balcony, while below there is a person helping in the water, surrounded by plenty of light, but it is impossible to conclude that it is Hugo because the face of the protagonist cannot be seen. It's just that the man in the water is Joseph Hugo's agent, and the others standing on the balcony are all holding 'wool' blankets and coats in their hands, and they are rushing over, and with the treatment of the "protagonist" mentioned by Anthony, it is easy to think that it is Hugo who is dragged ashore.
In this news, Anthony mentioned two things, one is that a series of big-name doubts put Hugo under heavy pressure, and "Sleepless in Seattle" is under great pressure, Anthony thinks that the entire crew and producers are putting pressure on Hugo, which makes Hugo miserable.
Another is the dating relationship between Hugo and Uma, whether it is the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" or the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Hugo and Uma appeared in public in the form of dating objects, but there has been no news from Uma and Hugo in the past month, especially when Hugo fell into a trough, Uma did not appear, Anthony believes that there is a problem in the relationship between the two people, and it is a very strict problem.
Under such circumstances, Anthony boldly came to the conclusion that Hugo, who was facing multiple pressures and blows, finally collapsed, and during the filming of the crew, he chose to "commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake". Anthony is still well-founded in making such an inference, because in the second half of 1991, Hugo had fallen into such a trough. Drug, alcoholism and other decadent states made Hugo scandal-riddled and almost disappeared from the sight of any of the main creators of the work, and this time Hugo has broken down again.
After this news came out, it caused a lot of violent reactions in the media, and if Hugo really tried to commit suicide, then this incident was sensational enough. Although many reporters think it is ridiculous, because Hugo did not show any symptoms before this, especially after he got the opportunity to star in "Sleepless in Seattle", at least it was a chance to turn over, and the credibility of the "National Enquirer" is really debatable; But if you think about it, there hasn't been much news about Hugo in the past month, and no one is sure if Hugo has really collapsed, not to mention that the photo of the "National Enquirer" is still very clear.
As a result, in just one day, a large number of media outlets sprung up in Seattle, and everyone flocked to the "Sleepless Seattle" crew.
No one in the entire crew subscribed to the "National Enquirer", so no one knew that Anthony had quietly entertained Hugo again, and no one even realized that Anthony had been hiding next to the crew, ready to attack Hugo at any time like a poisonous snake, and when everyone was partying the night before, no one noticed that there were reporters watching at all.
Therefore, when the reporters flocked to the scene, the crew who were filming in full swing were frightened, since the start of "Sleepless in Seattle", they were like children who were completely ignored, quietly staying in Seattle for filming, and even when Hugo arrived in Seattle, there were no reporters to follow up and report, and now suddenly a large group of reporters rushed over and looked at the crew with a sharp eyes like staring at the prey, which really made the crew a little overwhelmed.
Generally speaking, in this case, the crew will send relevant personnel to receive reporters and then accept interviews, which is mostly undertaken by producers or drama managers, and the candidates for interviews are rich and diverse, and the director and protagonist have a greater chance.
Although the crew was very surprised, the drama staff still hurriedly came forward to organize the order of the scene. Since Hugo and others were filming at this time, the drama could only ask the reporters to wait for a while, but out of curiosity, he still asked, "What is the reason why you suddenly came to the crew?"
Among the reporters who came to interview today was James Rattle of "American Weekly." James has been on Hugo's side since he last wrote the news about the Golden Globe Celebration Banquet brawl for Hugo, and then after it was confirmed that Hugo starred in "Sleepless in Seattle". James was under tremendous pressure on both news, but both paid off, and the sales of "American Weekly" achieved good results, which also made James more and more firm in his belief.
At this time, in the face of questions, James took the initiative to speak, "Yesterday there were rumors that Hugo tried to commit suicide. ”
"What?" The voice of the drama manager was directly pulled two octaves, and the incredible expression on his face clearly expressed his inner horror, "Are you talking about Hugo?"
The expression of the drama gave the reporters the most direct answer, which was to give the most real answer without any preparation, without any cover or calculation, James had a little more in his eyes, he knew that it seemed that they were played by Anthony again.
Hugo finished filming a scene and was discussing with Nora about the location and shooting of the next scene, but he waited for a message that made him stunned, "Who wants to kill himself?" Hugo's question was answered by the staff around him who looked at him, "Me? Why don't I know it myself?"
Not only Hugo, but Nora also looked incredulous when she stood next to her, "Hugo, do you need me to deal with it?"
"No, no, I think I can handle it." Hugo shook his head, but an interesting smile appeared on his face, sure enough, there are many strange things that can be encountered in the entertainment industry.
Seeing Hugo appear, more than a dozen reporters in front of him stood up at the same time, Hugo hadn't seen so many reporters for a while, and the sense of rejection that he had lingering feelings for reporters came to his heart again, and it was difficult for Yugo to calm down in the face of the bad memories of reporters, but Hugo still made up his mind and secretly cheered himself on, although the pace still kept a three-step distance from the reporters, and then raised his hand to signal the reporters not to come forward, but he still turned his gaze to the most familiar James, "What happened." ?”
"Did you jump into the lake the night before?" James's approach to questioning was obviously much more conservative than before, and he didn't get straight to the point, and after receiving Hugo's affirmative answer, James continued, "Then Anthony of the National Enquirer said that you tried to kill yourself. At the same time, James also handed Hugo the newspaper of the National Enquirer.
"Hahahaha......" This is Hugo's first reaction after seeing the headlines and pictures in the newspaper, this hearty laughter makes the surrounding reporters look a little embarrassed, if Hugo really wants to commit suicide, this sunny appearance will not appear, obviously, Hugo responded to this rumor in the most direct way.
Hugo laughed, and then he said, "I'm sorry to disappoint Anthony." A joke made many reporters at the scene laugh. Everyone can see the two or three things between Hugo and Anthony, and the ridicule in Hugo's sentence is also obvious.
"Hugo, what's going on here?" James didn't mind at all, he didn't believe in the true 'sexuality' of this news before he set off, but he inevitably had a little doubt, and now after the suspicion and 'confusion' contact, the whole person relaxed
"That night we had a supper pie, and everyone drank too much, just exploring." Hugo simply said that it was so joyful to recall that his adventurous act that night had become a suicide in the eyes of the media, and the smile on Hugo's lips involuntarily 'revealed' again.
The reporters on the scene can clearly feel the three black lines on their foreheads, Anthony's ability to talk nonsense this time is really too strong, and what is even more shameful is that they all believed it and rushed to Seattle in a hurry to verify, this is really ...... It's speechless.
"Hugo, I heard that you broke up with Uma, is this true?" Some reporters were still unwilling to bring up the evidence in Anthony's report and tried to ask Hugo directly for verification.
Hugo was not surprised to hear this question, a topic would come up sooner or later, so he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "I really haven't dated Uma lately. ”
"Why?" Journalists are still aggressively 'pressing' people.
Hugo still said calmly, "Uma and I are both adults, and we said before that we were dating, but now we are not dating, it's as simple as that, there is nothing worth exploring." In fact, Hugo and Uma have never publicly said that "we are 'dating' each other" and have always answered reporters with "dates", so now Hugo also answers in this way.
As for the real experience between him and Uma, these are his personal lives, and there is no need for journalists to know about it, so there is no need to cry in front of the media, he is not Taylor. s)。
Seeing that some reporters still wanted to continue to ask questions, Hugo didn't want to 'deal' with them any further, so he took a step back, "Okay, now that your questions have been answered, I think I should go back to the crew to continue my own shooting." Then, without giving the reporters time to react, Hugo turned and left with a brisk step
This time, Hugo has a new understanding of the ability of reporters to "look at pictures and tell stories", and any picture can be said to be "suicide", and the imagination of reporters is really rich. This reminded Hugo that the secret of the Loch Ness Monster was actually the same, which made the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth involuntarily bloom again. Maybe one day the Lake Washington Monster will appear.
