Chapter 1043: 1043

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while.

In fact, Hugo has long known Dawes's purpose. After this incident, Hugo has discovered the operating rules of Hollywood more and more, although the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" are condemning the filth of the news media's interests. , but Hugo also clearly knows that this is the inevitable result of the development of the commodity society, and no one can reverse it, not even the effect produced by his little butterfly.

Therefore, how to deal with the media is a compulsory course for all public figures, not only entertainers in the entertainment industry, but also government officials, university professors, leaders of listed companies, and so on. Learning to cooperate with reporters, and being able to use reporters, refute reporters, confront reporters, this is what a truly mature public figure should have.

Hugo has enough ability to refute reporters and confront reporters, but how to cooperate with reporters and how to use reporters is still a completely unfamiliar topic for Hugo—or not completely unfamiliar. Hugo teamed up with Quentin to take advantage of the events of Uma during the filming of "Pulp Fiction".

It's just that cooperation... Hugo still rejects it. Because Hugo always hated reporters in his bones, this group of crows who were always croaking made it impossible for Hugo to cooperate with them.

But after this incident, although Adam repeatedly told Hugo that he was fine, Hugo could not ignore this fact.

The thoughts in his mind just swept through. When Hugo chose to come out for an interview with Dawes, he actually already had a preliminary concept in his heart, so it shouldn't be a surprise at this time, right?

"Give cooperation opportunities? I can't see the benefits to me." Hugo pursed the corners of his mouth and said. In fact, Hugo wanted to outline a smile, but he failed. He couldn't squeeze the smile out of his heart.

Hugo's keenness made Dawes not know how to answer. In fact, what Dawes wanted to say was: Damn, this time I sold the exclusive news to "US Weekly" and sold you such a big favor, and you still said No good for you! This is so disgusting.

However, Dawes has no way to say these words, unless he wants to fall out with Hugo now. Dawes originally thought that his vote certificate was enough, but now it seems that it is not so easy to impress Hugo.

Just when Dawes was thinking about how to deal with Hugo, Hugo continued to say, "I heard Steven mention it before. In fact, cooperation is often two-way. Artists will find reporters to shoot when they have news." This is the so-called hype news, arranging reporters to secretly film the news that the artist has prepared for a long time; or when the artist releases news, arrange a small press conference to issue an official statement, "But at the same time, when the reporter captures the news, the artist will also be notified. ."

That's how Hollywood operates. Once reporters have captured the exclusive, whether the media wants to publish it or not, they will notify the parties, and then there will be several outcomes. Either the news is not big enough, and the media buskers and the agent have a friendship and hide the news; or the artist pays enough to buy the news exclusively; or the media insists on publishing it, but they give the artist a warning to let the artist do a good job In crisis public relations, this warning is actually a manifestation of friendship.

Therefore, the cooperation between news media and public figures is very complex and delicate. Of course, only those top figures can enjoy such "thoughtful" services from the media.

Dawes glanced at Hugo and cursed in his heart, "Little fox!" In fact, the news network Rick has established for Hugo is already very extensive, especially with the support of Jewish groups, any trouble about Hugo , Rick can accept it for the first time.

But Rick is still lacking in paparazzi. On the one hand, although the paparazzi developed in the 1990s, they are far from reaching the level of the 21st century. Ten years later, with the help of the Internet and smart phones, paparazzi The power of Rick has reached its peak; on the one hand, it is also because most of Rick's artists follow the orthodox route and are not too worried about the paparazzi problem.

For example, this time the attack launched by Anthony Bond-Stuart, although they deliberately concealed the news is one reason, but it is undeniable that Rick's lack of paparazzi connections is still a loophole.

Now, Hugo obviously intends to use Dawes as a breakthrough, and also place an eyeliner in the paparazzi group. This move may seem ordinary, but it has an immeasurable effect on Hugo and the future development of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

Dawes immediately understood what Hugo meant, but he couldn't agree immediately. Because he knew that once he nodded, it meant that his relationship with Hugo would be difficult to cut off. In fact, Dawes originally just wanted to use this vote to follow up and report on Hugo in a short period of one or two months, and dig some news, especially the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Oscars are not far away. There are many breaking points, and after that, it doesn't matter if the so-called "cooperation" relationship breaks down.

But now, Hugo's frivolous rebuttal made it difficult for Dawes to make an immediate decision.

However, Hugo didn't seem to be in a hurry. After he said that, he just paused for a while, as if nothing had happened, and continued to say, "Is it so lively at the end of the year?"

Dawes was stunned for a while, but also braced himself to deal with Hugo, "You can count it this way. In fact, we are busy all year round, but the end of the year and summer are indeed very busy." The end of the year is because of the summary and awards ceremony, and the summer It's because of the good weather and summer vacation. "But even so, the past two years have caught us by surprise and caught us off guard."

"Those who don't understand, think that the media is deliberately waiting for this time, and then deliberately breaking the news." Hugo continued to follow Dawes's words.

Dawes recalled the Michael Jackson incident at the end of last year and the rock and roll battle to the death, and couldn't help laughing, "These are just coincidences. You see the Jackson incident, which started to erupt in August and dragged on until the end of the year. , that's where it really hit the climax."

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips and nodded, "It's been a year now, the time is really fast, I just don't know how Michael is doing."

Dawes gave Hugo a surprised look, "Aren't you and Jackson friends?"

"I said before that Michael is my idol, we are... friends." Hugo thought about it carefully, and then said, in fact, in the past year, Hugo and Michael have spoken on the phone several times. Although it is not frequent, Hugo can still know about Michael's current situation, and obviously, Michael has always been very concerned about Hugo's dynamics.

"Wow, you can defend Jackson like this, and I thought you two had a good relationship." Dawes sighed casually. He wanted to end this topic, but he didn't want Hugo to continue.

"No, no, before that, I actually only met Michael once." Hugo said with a smile, "It's just that I heard about the Chandler father and son by accident. I heard that the father used Anmi It is really outrageous that Tuona forced his son to make false testimony. There is a father who is willing to destroy his son's life for money. It is hard to believe that he is the real father of that child. Although there are many strange and strange people in this world But every time I hear such a thing and see those people treat family like this, it always makes me feel a little mixed."

Hugo has always firmly believed in this sentence. Even from the perspective of twenty years later, Hugo still cannot believe that a father would manipulate his son so much for financial gain.

Dawes listened to Hugo's casual sigh, but couldn't help but froze for a while. Hugo's words just now seemed to have a loophole, "Sodium Amity", Dawes keenly captured this detail, but it flashed by, very quickly. Hugo went on to talk about other things about family love, which made Dawes unable to concentrate on his thoughts.

Dawes always felt that Hugo seemed to be giving him a hint just now, or that Hugo's words just leaked a little secret. He already had an idea in his mind, almost ready to come out, but because Hugo quickly moved topic, but not captured. This made Doston feel unbearable, and he needed to calm down and think about it.

Not only this hint, but also Hugo's proposal just now, Dawes needs to think carefully. Dawes could clearly feel that the blood of the paparazzi in his body began to boil.

The next time was like a torment, Dawes was completely absent-minded, even if he wanted to concentrate, he couldn't do it, because all his energy was on Hugo's words and proposals just now. Finally, Hugo ended the conversation, and Dawes left as quickly as he ran away, even ignoring Hugo.

Such a gesture was very different from the situation when Dawes came to visit.

Hugo watched Dawes leave in a hurry, but heaved a sigh of relief. He believed that Dawes should be able to capture the hint in his words just now. When Dawes spoke today, Hugo suddenly realized that it has been a year, and Chandler and his son should have relaxed their vigilance. Maybe it is time for them He took the initiative to tell the truth and gave Michael an innocence.

If it really follows the historical trajectory, it will take more than ten years, after Michael and his son have been depressed, and Chandler and his son will come to their senses again, Hugo will feel regret for life. Hugo wanted to see Michael standing upright on the stage again after his innocence was restored, and he was looking forward to this day.

Dawes is clearly a good candidate. Not only can you use Dawes to discover the truth, but you can also use Dawes to open a hole in the paparazzi's connections. Therefore, Hugo nodded and agreed to the interview with Dawes, and this was the whole conversation just now: In fact, the initiative of the conversation has always been in Hugo's hands, from beginning to end.

Hugo stood in place and couldn't help being a little dazed. He suddenly realized that, in fact, he had changed, from ignorant of Hollywood to now, he has learned to use the rules. Does this mean that he has also become a part of Hollywood? This thought made Hugo feel a little heavy.

But Hugo also knew that this was society, and it was either being changed by society or changing society. There was no middle ground, and he had to make a choice. On the road of growth, people are always more and more complicated, and no one can avoid it. It's like the countless temptations in the colorful circle of Hollywood. Confusion is common, everyone will come into contact with it, and everyone will change, but whether you can keep your original intention is the most important.

Hugo let out a long sigh. He hoped that he could persevere, and he also believed that he could persevere, because he did not want to be "Helena-Jenny" without a name.
