Chapter 278 278 Ridiculous Rumors

When the entertainment news media focused their attention on the follow-up impact of the 36th Grammy Awards, the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", which had never been paid attention by anyone, suddenly broke a piece of news, which attracted many people's attention. eyeball.

The news, published by Anthony Stewart of the National Enquirer, attracted many people's attention with the horrifying title "Hugo Lancaster committed suicide?" 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, and a person below is helping in the water. face, so it cannot be concluded that it is Hugo. It's just that the person in the water was Joseph, Hugo's agent, and the others standing on the balcony, with blankets and coats in their hands, rushed over in a swarm, matching what Anthony called "the protagonist." "The treatment, it is easy to think that the one who was dragged ashore was Hugo.

In this news, Anthony mentioned two things. One is that a series of big-name suspicions have put Hugo under heavy pressure, and "Sleepless in Seattle" has been under tremendous pressure. Anthony believes that the entire crew and producers are in the Put pressure on Hugo, which makes Hugo miserable.

Another one is the dating relationship between Hugo and Uma. Whether it is the premiere of "Righteous Sea Heroes" or the award ceremony of the Golden Globe Awards, Hugo and Uma appeared in the public in the form of dating objects, but in the past For a month, there was no news from Uma and Hugo, especially when Hugo was at a low point, Uma did not appear. Anthony believed that there was a problem in the relationship between the two, and it was a very serious problem.

Under such circumstances, Anthony boldly came to the conclusion that Hugo, who faced multiple pressures and blows, finally collapsed. During the filming of the crew, he chose to "drow himself in the lake". Anthony made such an inference is still valid, because in the second half of 1991, Hugo once fell into such a trough, sucking. The decadent state of drugs and alcoholism has caused Hugo to be riddled with scandals, and almost disappeared from the sight of the main creators of any work, and this time, there are traces of Hugo's collapse symptoms again.

After this news came out, it triggered a violent response from many media. If Hugo really tried to commit suicide, then this incident would be sensational enough. Although many reporters thought it was very absurd, because Hugo had not shown any symptoms before this, especially after he got the chance to star in "Sleepless in Seattle", it was at least a chance to turn over, and the "National Enquirer" Its credibility is really debatable; but think about it, there hasn't been much news about Hugo in the past month, and no one is sure if Hugo is really broken, let alone "The National Enquirer" "The picture is still very clear.

As a result, in just one day, a large number of media emerged in Seattle, and everyone flocked to the "Sleepless in 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, acting like a poisonous snake at any time. In order to prepare to attack Hugo, when everyone was partying the night before, no one noticed that there were reporters watching.

So, when the reporters swarmed, the crew who were in full swing were frightened. Since the launch of "Sleepless in Seattle", they were like children who were completely ignored, quietly staying in Seattle to shoot, Even when Hugo arrived in Seattle, there were no reporters doing follow-up reports, and now a large group of reporters suddenly rushed over and looked at the crew with a sharp look like a prey, which really made the crew a little confused. measures.

Generally speaking, in such a situation, the crew will specially send relevant personnel to receive the reporter and then accept the interview. In most cases, this task is undertaken by the producer or the drama manager, and the candidates for the interview are rich and diverse, including the director and the protagonist. more likely.

Although the crew members were very surprised, the drama management hurriedly came forward and organized the chaotic order at the scene. Since Hugo and others were filming at this time, the production manager could only ask the reporters to wait for a while, but out of curiosity, he still asked, "May I ask what is the reason for you to suddenly come to the crew?"

Among the reporters who came to interview today, James Larter of "US Weekly" was included. James has been on Hugo's side since he last wrote about the Golden Globes brawl for Hugo, immediately after "Sleepless in Seattle" was confirmed to star Hugo. The two news before and after James were under great pressure, but they all paid off. The sales of "US Weekly" achieved good results, which also made James more and more firm in his beliefs.

Faced with questions at this time, James took the initiative to say, "Yesterday there were rumors that Hugo tried to commit suicide."

"What?" The drama manager's voice was pulled two octaves directly, and the incredible expression on his face clearly expressed his inner astonishment, "Are you talking about Hugo?"

The show manager's expression gave the reporters the most direct answer. This was to give the most truthful answer without any preparation. There was no cover or calculation. James' eyes became more clear. He knew, It looks like they've been tricked again by Anthony.

Hugo ended the filming of a scene and was discussing with Nora the placement and shooting of the following scene, but he was surprised by the news, "Who wants to commit suicide?" Hugo's question He got the answer that all the staff around him looked at him, "Me? Why don't I know it myself?"

Not only Hugo, but Nora standing next to him also looked incredible, "Hugo, do you need me to deal with it?"

"No, no, I think I can handle it." Hugo shook his head, but a funny smile appeared on his face. Sure enough, there are many strange things that can happen in the entertainment industry.

Seeing Hugo's appearance, more than a dozen reporters stood up at the same time. Hugo had not seen so many reporters for a while, and the feeling of rejection that he had had lingering fears for reporters came back to his mind again. It was very difficult for Yuguo to calm down, but Hugo still made up his mind and secretly cheered on himself. Although he still kept a three-step distance from the reporters, he raised his hand to signal the reporters not to come forward, but he still put the pressure on the reporters. His eyes turned to the most familiar James, "What happened?"

"Did you jump into the lake the night before?" James' question was obviously much more conservative than before, and he didn't go straight to the point. After receiving a positive answer from Hugo, James continued, "Then 'National Inquiry The newspaper's Anthony said you tried to kill yourself." James also handed Hugo the National Enquirer paper.

"Hahahaha..." This was Hugo's first reaction after seeing the headline and picture in the newspaper. This hearty laughter made the reporters around him seem a little embarrassed. If Hugo really wanted to commit suicide, this bright and sunny The appearance will not appear. Obviously, Hugo responded to this rumor in the most direct way.

After Hugo laughed, he said, "I'm so sorry for disappointing Anthony." This joke made many reporters at the scene couldn't help laughing. Everyone can see the two or three things between Hugo and Anthony, and the sarcasm in Hugo's words couldn't be more obvious.

"Hugo, what the hell is going on?" James didn't mind at all. He didn't believe the authenticity of the news before he set off, but he inevitably had a little doubt. Relaxed.

"We had a supper party that night. Everyone drank too much, and it was just an adventure." Hugo said simply, recalling his risky act that night, it turned out to be suicide in the eyes of the media, which was too joyful Now, the smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth was revealed again involuntarily.

The reporters at the scene could clearly feel the three black lines on his forehead. Anthony's nonsense ability this time is really too strong. What's more shameful is that they all believed it and rushed to Seattle to verify. This is really... Speechless.

"Hugo, I heard that you broke up with Uma, is this true?" Some reporters were still unwilling, and presented the evidence in Anthony's report, trying to directly ask Hugo for confirmation.

Hugo was not surprised when he heard this question. It was a topic that would come up sooner or later, so he just raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I really haven't dated Uma recently."

"Why?" The reporter was still aggressive.

Hugo still said calmly, "Uma and I are both adults. I said before that we are dating, but we are not dating now. It's that simple, there is nothing worth exploring." In fact, Hugo He Uma has never publicly said "we are dating", and has 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 reporters to understand, so there is no need to cry in front of the media, he is not Taylor Swift (Taylor. Swift).

Seeing that some reporters wanted to continue to ask questions, Hugo didn't want to deal with them any further, and 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, Hugo didn't give the reporters time to react, and turned and left with brisk steps.

This time, Hugo has a new understanding of the reporters' ability to "see pictures and tell stories". Any picture can be said to be "suicide". The imagination of the 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 bloom again involuntarily. Maybe the Lake Washington Monster will appear one day in the future.
