Chapter 1041 1041 Benefit-Driven

"Doss-Carter."

When Hugo heard the name, he couldn't help frowning, and his first reaction was, "Who?"

Cameron thought for a while, "Hey, is it the reporter who exclusively broke the news of 'US Weekly'?"

Hugo has always had no memory of names and faces, but only had a vague impression. He looked at Cameron and blinked, "That's the name of the reporter?" If it wasn't for Anthony Stewart's "Mr. Bond" "This nickname, it is estimated that it is very difficult for him to remember the name, so the name Dawes-Carter is naturally even more unfamiliar.

Cameron nodded, pushed Hugo towards the door, then tiptoed to the room herself. Since it's a paparazzi, if he takes pictures of Hugo's house or Hugo and Cameron, it's probably another hype. The most impatient thing for them is to deal with these things. So Cameron is the most appropriate to go back to the room.

After Hugo watched Cameron return to the room, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man in stained jeans and a tattered shirt was standing at the door, but with a completely unfamiliar face, Hugo had no impression at all, "Uh , who are you?"

Dawes was still excited at first, but he became sad when he heard this sentence, "Dawes-Carter?" Hugo was still at a loss, "Exclusive news from 'US Weekly'? Exclusive photos of Mr. Bond?"

"Oh, it turns out to be you." Only then did Hugo confirm that, although he still had no impression of this face, at least he knew about it.

Dawes is really a little depressed. You must know that Dawes is famous in Hollywood because of his pursuit. Ron Clara is the target he is chasing. His most successful thing is not only catching Woody Ai Evidence of Lun and his adopted daughter cheating, and he was also beaten twice by Sean Penn and Johnny Depp, and then became famous. Because Dawes's personal tracking can always detonate the hot temper of the artist.

But Dawes shrunk on Hugo. He started tracking Hugo closely during the filming of "Life and Death", but now a year later, he still has nothing to gain. On the contrary, he was played by Hugo several times. This is definitely a major shame in Dawes's paparazzi career, but at the same time, it has also stimulated Dawes's unyielding mentality, and he also regards Hugo as the ultimate challenge.

This time, the evidence in Dawes's hands is obviously a key factor influencing the trend of public opinion. Whether to help Mr. Bond or Hugo is a dilemma for Dawes.

In fact, the same evidence just depends on the difference of perspective explained by Dawes. If Dawes decides to help Mr. Bond, he can interpret the same photo as Adam pressing Mr. Bond step by step, showing no mercy, and even putting his hands on Mr. Bond. Mr. Bond was frightened and incontinent, which is bound to make the public opinion's condemnation of Adam to a higher level, and Hugo will definitely not feel better.

But on the contrary, if Dawes decides to help Hugo, he can defend Adam, arguing that Adam was merciful, everything was done by Mr. Bond himself, and the subsequent results can be imagined, which is the origin of the current situation.

Dawes had struggled and hesitated, because no matter which option he chose, he was invincible, it was just a difference in his perspective. In the end, Dawes chose Hugo.

Originally, Dawes thought that after this incident, Hugo would treat him differently, and he would also have an advantage in the future paparazzi stalking plan-indeed, this was the fundamental purpose of Dawes. It is not only the interests of this event, but also the chain effect that Hugo, a potential stock, can bring in the future.

This time the exclusive news was handed over to "US Weekly", which was actually Dawes's nomination. He thought that Hugo would welcome him warmly, but he didn't expect it to be dazed. Is it destined to be a threshold for his paparazzi career?

"So, do you have anything to do with me?" Hugo didn't think that Dawes's mind was already overturned, he just asked casually, "If I remember correctly, you are a paparazzi, I am an artist, we should There is no opportunity to sit and chat together."

Dawes couldn't help but be stunned. Yugo was too direct and calm. He originally wanted to be polite, and then thought that Hugo would at least talk for the sake of his name and let each other leave one. It's a good impression. If he waits for the opportunity to spy on some news about Hugo, today's task will be completed. Of course, if more information or more progress can be obtained, it will be even better.

"I'm a paparazzi, but I'm also a reporter. I came to the door, and of course I wanted to interview you." Dawes also decided to go straight. Although this was the first head-to-head confrontation between him and Hugo, in the past year Dawes also studied Hugo for a long time in time. He knew that Hugo was the most important person in friendship, such as family and friendship. Treating people with sincerity can win Hugo's favor.

After speaking, Dawes saw that Hugo's face still showed no interest, but he did not panic, and then said, "This time the incident is huge, and people can't help but think of Michael Jackson a year ago, you You know, now you're the most high-profile entertainer in the whole of Hollywood, and countless people want a piece of it. Even if you didn't get into something like Jackson, they'd still try to make it up, and that's what happened. So, I want to interview your thoughts and let readers read your real thoughts."

Michael Jackson.

When Hugo heard the name, he looked at Dawes in front of him, but his heart couldn't help but move. However, Hugo did not show any expression at this time, but still said calmly, "If I remember correctly, you are a paparazzi and not a reporter, so isn't the creator of this incident exactly your colleague? If I am willing to be interviewed, as long as I open my mouth, countless media will come to you, so why bother to come to you? What's more..." Hugo said here, he couldn't help but lengthen his voice, "My true thoughts are faced before. The reporters made it clear enough when they were besieged, and if you didn't hear it clearly, I suggest you borrow a tape from your colleagues who arrived at the scene that day."

Dawes couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. Hugo is still really leaking. No wonder no media has been able to break through Hugo's blockade in the past year, and it is no wonder that Mr. Bond needs to formulate such a detailed plan to dare to take the initiative. However, Dawes was not timid, but became more and more excited.

"No, I don't think so," Dawes said with a chuckle, "As you said, I'm a paparazzi, so my perspective is bound to be different, and my perspective of things will be different, you The idea of ​​​​in me will naturally show a different appearance. As for whether you should be interviewed by paparazzi or regular reporters, I think, there is not much difference, does it?”

"Interesting." Hugo nodded with a smile, "You are the first paparazzi to talk to me for more than two minutes."

"Not including Mr. Bond?" Dawes laughed. In fact, he still remembered another paparazzi, Brian Heverson, who had talked with Hugo for more than two minutes.

This clever response made Hugo laugh out loud and nodded, "Yes, excluding Mr. Bond."

"Hugo, please, give me a chance." Dawes had to use his trump card, "You should know that I sold that exclusive news to 'US Weekly', but I paid a lot of money to be able to interview you."

"Look, the real purpose is out." Hugo shrugged, causing Dawes to twitch his mouth awkwardly, "But I believe that you paid a lot and gained a lot at the same time." Hugo is this After Doss sold the "$60,000" that he earned exclusively, a ray of light flashed in Doss' eyes. A public figure like Hugo, who is calm enough and wise enough, is really hard for the paparazzi. Deal with it, "Sure enough, everything is driven by interests, isn't it?"

"Everyone seems to be denouncing profit-driven, thinking that it is wrong for the media to put profit first, and that artists are the victims of profit." Dawes said with interest, "but everyone seems to be ignoring a fact. This society is originally a combination of interests. In simple terms, people can find a position in society because they have useful value and can create benefits. If they can’t, they will inevitably be the survival of the fittest; only those who can create benefits can continue to survive."

This is a fact, a cold and cruel fact. Although it sounds ugly and disgusting, this is the reality. Only those who have the value of use can survive, and only those who can create more benefits can continue to climb. The whole life of a person is actually the constant realization of self-worth. It doesn't make sense.

Hugo knew that Dawes was distorting the concept. The media was driven by interests. This was inevitable. Just like art, art that did not think about market value would be gradually annihilated in the long history. Only art that can create commercial value can Gradually glow and heat. But the question is how to balance the balance between art and commerce. For the media, it is how to balance the balance between freedom of speech and commercial interests-obviously, the bottom line is truth and objectivity.

Dawes's words are reasonable, but in fact they are arguing. However, Hugo didn't intend to argue with him, he just nodded slightly, "I don't agree with you, because you are stealing concepts. But I must admit that you convinced me that maybe we can sit down and talk. At the very least, I'm curious, what are the interests that drive you to my side, and what value I've created for you. So, okay, let's talk about it and see how much I'm worth, and I'm also curious What about this."

Hugo's pretentiously relaxed words made Dawes a little embarrassed, but he was more relieved, and a smile couldn't help but outline at the corner of his mouth. Hugo is really an amazing person, he can look at those shocking remarks so calmly without losing himself. Such Hugo, whether as an artist, as a man, or as a person, is full of endless charm.

"You can only avoid falling in love with him if you completely hate him." Inexplicably, Dawes remembered the quote from the front page of today's "Los Angeles Times" newspaper.
