Chapter 239: 239
Hugo bowed and apologized, and Joseph bowed and apologized! This, this is beyond everyone's expectations!
In an instant, the flashing lights on the scene were connected together, and the crackling sound made the silence of the scene extraordinarily strange. There was a faint voice, "****! Film!" It seems that someone was so excited to take pictures that there was no film left, and then he could hear the trivial sound of him scrambling to change the film, but other than that In addition, only the sound of the shutter sounded in the banquet hall.
Anthony was frightened by this accident. He thought of Hugo's various reactions, but he did not expect such a situation. He also quickly realized Hugo's strategy. Hugo is now planning to take the initiative to take the blame, and then Won the public's forgiveness with a soldier's attitude. But Anthony must not let this happen, he must regain the initiative, so in a panic, he quickly said in a trembling voice, "I really don't know what I did wrong, don't hit me, never hit me I……"
Anthony tried to use his victim's voice to regain his attention, but unfortunately, in front of him was Hugo who was fully prepared.
Hugo stood up straight, and then saw Anthony take a half step back as if scared out of his wits, but Hugo was indifferent to Anthony's poor acting skills, and he bowed again, "Sorry, really sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I beat you up last night, although I drank too much alcohol, which caused the situation to get out of control, but this is not an excuse, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize." Hugo fully entered the role of Joseph, Take all the responsibilities.
Hugo's words were particularly clear in the sparse shutter sound. The reporters stopped their movements at this time and began to watch the changes on the podium. Hugo continued to say, "I should have been to the hospital last night. I went to see you, but I didn't express my apology until now. I'm really sorry. I will be fully responsible for your medical expenses, mental damages and lost work expenses. Although money can't make up for the damage you have suffered, I still Hope you can take it."
Hugo's behavior is impeccable, serious apology, sincerity, no matter what the sincerity is, but on the surface, Hugo's etiquette is absolutely in place. After all, this was just a fight, not a life-and-death fight, and the reporters wouldn't miss a detail in Hugo's words just now, the alcohol issue, so everything was explained. Now, Hugo has all the faults on his back, and that has eased the situation.
Anthony knew that his remaining advantages were running out, but there was not much he could do at the moment. He could only keep shouting "don't hit me" to hide his inner anxiety. He had to figure out a way to relieve it. In his own situation, in desperation, Anthony finally thought of a strategy that was not a strategy, "I know you are angry about playing a big name, but what I heard is the truth, I just ask you to verify, there is nothing else. mean."
Anthony threw the second bomb. In fact, it was originally a bomb that was intended to continue to stir up the flames when the newspaper was published tomorrow. Imagine, first, a riot, and then a big-name suspicion. After this series of negative news, Anthony was talking nonsense. 's plagiarism speculation, the original absurd speculation's credibility will definitely skyrocket, then Hugo will fall into a quagmire ten times more serious than the Golden Raspberry Award a year ago.
But now, Anthony had to change his plan, throwing out tomorrow's strategy first, attracting hatred, hoping to turn the attention of the media reporters to Hugo again, trying to get away.
Surprisingly, Anthony actually saw a successful smile in Hugo's eyes, which made Anthony completely plunged into a fog. He didn't understand what he had missed, why Hugo was not only not flustered at all, on the contrary. He also showed the expression that he had fallen into a trap, which felt really bad.
It is true that Hugo and Joseph were still worried about how to bring up Anthony's malicious slander. If they took the initiative to bring it up, it would be too obvious to shirk responsibility. Although this is true, it is not good for Hugo in public opinion. Under the circumstances, the public is likely to condemn Hugo for any actions. Hugo and Joseph thought of a few ways, but they didn't want to use it now, because Anthony took the initiative to mention it. How this made Hugo unhappy, even Joseph was slightly relieved.
Facing Anthony's accusation, Hugo quickly put away the joy in his eyes, but turned his head to look at the more than 30 reporters in front of him, showing a puzzled expression, "I'm also curious about why such a thing happens, why Anthony, you are going to slander me again and again, I think, why don't we talk about it on the spot."
Then Hugo looked at Anthony and said, "You first said yesterday that I have other ideas about the Golden Globe award, and then you said that I was playing a big name. I am curious, what is the situation, if you still have Any doubt, I can clarify it in front of all the reporters present."
Anthony was very angry. This was not the Hugo he knew. Although such a Hugo always had a gentle and polite smile, the sense of oppression in his words made him at a loss. Such a Hugo surprised Anthony again and again, such a Hugo Putting Anthony in a dilemma now.
Because Anthony knew that if he didn't say it, Hugo would say it; but he said it, and Hugo must have been ready to speak, and now it's not like last night, but Anthony could only choose to speak, because he said it. , he will have another chance to provoke Hugo, and if you don't say it, it will be over.
"I have reliable sources stating that you thought you were going to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, and when you learned that it wasn't you who won the award, you were very angry." Anthony also wants to continue to use some modifiers. Increase the authenticity of his words, but the brain's operation has slowed down, which makes his language extraordinarily pale. In desperation, Anthony could only cheer himself up and try to use his momentum to oppress Hugo.
But Anthony seemed to have forgotten one point. Before that, he had been playing the role of the weak, and the submissive image of "don't hit me" just now disappeared. But Anthony had no time to take into account the stunned expressions of the reporters in the audience - all the reporters noticed the huge contrast in Anthony, and no one was blind.
Hugo didn't raise his voice or be anxious, just explained in a calm and warm voice, "I'm pretty sure I didn't say these words, I think Jean deserves the award, and I admire his performance very much. I'm very curious, where is your source of information, can I ask the other party to stand up and confront? Because I'm pretty sure I didn't say those words."
Hugo kicked the ball to Anthony with a dignified and coherent explanation, but Anthony frowned and couldn't tell the reason. He could only mumble something like "the source is a secret and can't be revealed", but he knew that , the reporters in the audience will definitely investigate, and the advantages in his hands are running out. But then, Anthony thought of the next piece of news and said confidently, "So do you dare to say that you didn't play big?"
This happened for real, so Anthony wasn't scared at all, he picked up his energy and said aggressively, "After Christmas, you go to Chicago to record 'The Oprah Show,' and you show up on the corner of Yonglive Street, Surrounded by a group of enthusiastic and lovely fans, but you sullenly ignored any of these fans' requests, you didn't sign their autographs, take a photo with them, or even greet them, you just turned around and left, did you? this matter!"
Hugo tried to open his mouth to speak, but Anthony continued to interrupt Hugo loudly, as if he had caught Hugo's handle, "Is there any! You ignored the enthusiasm of the fans, and even threw a piece of the fan's heart into it. In the rubbish heap, can you deny such a thing?"
Hugo and Joseph looked at each other helplessly. When they left Yonghuo Street, Hugo told Joseph about this, and Joseph comforted Hugo at the time. Now there are indeed big rumors!
"There is this matter." Hugo admitted frankly, which made Anthony suddenly arrogant, "Look, you just started to play big cards after only achieving a little result! I tried to ask you to verify this matter, but Being beaten by you, this is hard evidence!" Anthony did not forget to show his scars, trying to provoke Hugo.
But this time Hugo wasn't fooled. He said, "Are you going to give me a chance to explain?" One sentence made Anthony speechless, and all the reporters at the scene looked at Hugo again. , "It's like this, I did go to Yonghuo Street that night to prepare for dinner..." Then Hugo briefly explained the situation to the reporters. There is an old saying that you are not afraid of shadows and rain. If the situation is explained clearly, if someone still wants to say that he is playing a big game, then he will admit it, because it is enough for him to know.
"For personal safety reasons and to avoid accidents caused by the chaos at the scene, Joe and I had to leave in embarrassment. This is how this happened. I am very sorry for not being able to meet the wishes of these fans, but I definitely don't think it's a big deal," Hugo said firmly, leaving Anthony stunned.
The reason why Anthony was able to anger him last night was because he ignored Hugo's explanation and kept pouring dirty water on Hugo with his own opinion, and slandered him one after another, which completely made Hugo angry. But now, after all the problems were exposed, Anthony had no way not to listen to Hugo's explanation, otherwise he would be the one who made trouble out of nowhere, which immediately reversed the situation.
However, Hugo didn't intend to let Anthony go, "If your questions have been answered, can you answer my questions? Why don't you listen to my explanation and keep slandering my reputation? You not only rely on false news To slander my views on the Golden Globes and rumors of big names, and you are trying to accuse me of plagiarism, which is absolutely unbearable! Please apologize to me for your slander!"
