Chapter 734 734 Paparazzi Dispatched

Anthony Bond Stewart felt that the wind was constantly digging in from his collar, and his body kept shaking slightly. Looking left and right, he could only hide behind a huge rockery to hide, hoping that this rock Being able to become a harbor for oneself to avoid, in March, Los Angeles can already vaguely see the footsteps of spring, but when night falls, the violent sea breeze still makes people feel the power of winter.

Anthony put his hands together in front of his mouth and breathed continuously, hoping to warm his stiff hands a little, and stomped his feet hard to make his body active again. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two figures standing on the other side of the street. Those two people also hid, one was hiding behind a palm tree, and the other was squatting on the top of the hillside, apparently also his companions.

Anthony received a tip today. He heard that Hugo brought Sandra to the mountain city for dinner. This made Anthony excited and tangled. He was excited because he could finally find out about Hugo's hottest scandal, and he could even catch him directly. When it comes to the evidence, it must be hard for Hugo to quibble; the entanglement is because he is still a little jealous of Hugo. Looking at the transformation of Hugo from the end of last year to the present three months, it is really difficult for reporters to take control of Hugo. to cheap.

Anthony recalled the time after the "Witch Trial" when he was fleeing and panicking. He was still shivering. Although he gritted his teeth at Hugo and wanted to fight back, things were not so simple and easy. Fear prevailed, and even Anthony himself was frustrated.

But Anthony knew that unless he stopped being a reporter, he couldn't avoid Hugo, not just Hugo, he couldn't avoid any reporting object, which was the source of life and motivation for their paparazzi.

This time, Anthony finally summoned up his courage again. He knew that he would have to face Hugo sooner or later. If he had to wait for the so-called best time, he might never be able to wait. What's more, today's opportunity is very rare.

"Speed ​​of life and death" has always been a hot topic recently. As the male and female protagonists, Hugo and Sandra, it is very simple to involve a story that cannot but be told, and for media reporters, fabricating scandals It is beneficial and harmless. Even if the parties deny it, they can still catch up. Because of the special nature of the scandal, the parties have no way to fight back.

That is to say, whether the scandal is true or not, Hugo has no way to fight back against reporters - at least not a powerful attack on the moral high ground, which puts reporters in a very advantageous position.

Another reason why today's opportunity is so rare is that Hugo and Sandra appeared alone, no crew members, no other friends, just two people alone, plus they chose dinner, and they were the most full of Los Angeles. Mountain City, one of the romantic atmospheres, has largely commented on the relationship between Hugo and Sandra. Even if Hugo denies it, and even if the reporter does not add fuel to it, people will automatically substitute "gossip" for granted.

So, as long as the reporters took a picture of Hugo and Sandra leaving side by side, the scandal was confirmed. Of course, it would be better if there were further or more intimate pictures.

After comprehensive consideration, Anthony took the initiative to attack, after a long absence.

When Anthony arrived in the mountain city, he was alone, and there were no other companions. This shows that Anthony has a wide network of contacts as a paparazzi - it was already evident that he was able to enter the celebration banquet of the Golden Globe Awards. He actually One step ahead of his peers, he was the first to receive a tip, which means that there is a great chance that this scandal will become exclusive. Unfortunately, Anthony was not able to enter the mountain city for filming.

The reason why the mountain city is so popular is on the one hand because its scenery and food are really excellent, on the other hand, because of the privacy protection of the restaurant, in the era when mobile phones are not popular, controlling the camera of the behemoth means solving the problem. Most of the trouble, and Yamashiro's oversight of this has always been in place.

Anthony originally wanted to hide the camera and enter the interior of the mountain city, and then sought to bribe the staff to bring the camera in. Unfortunately, the mountain city's reservations were already full, and he had no way to enter. Then Anthony tried to bribe the restaurant staff, wanting them to help him take pictures of Hugo and Sandra, but today Anthony was a step behind, the duty manager Amy realized the possible consequences of Hugo's arrival, so he Be vigilant, so that the staff who are willing to accept bribes can't find any space to perform tasks.

In desperation, Anthony could only be blocked outside the gate of the mountain city and waited quietly.

Although it is said that the mountain city is like a castle, Anthony hardly found any gaps to break through; but luckily, there are no back doors and side doors in the mountain city, customers can only leave from the main entrance, and the parking lot is also a two-hundred-yard walk from the main entrance. , so as long as you guard the vantage point of the main entrance, Hugo is the turtle in the urn.

Anthony tossed around for a while, looking around for the restaurant staff to find a breakthrough. It took more than half an hour before and after. When he returned to the main entrance to find a favorable position, he soon found the figure of his peer. This is not surprising, here is Los Angeles, the media resources and New York must be the spotlight spot, every corner of the city is covered with paparazzi eyeliner, Anthony can get the information others also have similar channels get. Only two colleagues came, which is already very few.

Paparazzi was first born in Italy in the 1950s, when the editors of popular Italian newspapers published eye-catching news photos under the slogan "A picture is more expressive than a thousand words", which not only made Italy The popular newspaper industry has developed rapidly, ranking first in Europe, and the role of paparazzi has gradually evolved into a professional one.

New York photojournalist Ron. Galella (Ron. Galella) is known as the pioneer of the global paparazzi. He created the spirit of the paparazzi with one hand, and brought the work of the paparazzi to the extreme.

During Ron's paparazzi career, former first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Marlon Brando were his greatest accomplishments.

In order to secretly photograph Jacqueline's private life, Ron followed her for ten years. Jacqueline was forced to lose her demeanor by Ron, and she also had two lawsuits with Ron.

On September 24, 1969, Ron hid outside Jacqueline's apartment and pressed the button the moment Jacqueline and son Robert. F. Kennedy. Jr. walked out of the house. shutter in hand. When Jacqueline found out, she was furious and told her bodyguard to "smash his camera!" Because Ron refused to hand over the film, Jacqueline's bodyguard eventually escorted him to the police station.

However, Jacqueline sued Ron Sao. The harassment charge was dismissed by the judge, and Ron thought, "My lawyer told me that Jacqueline should give me five hundred dollars in damages, but she never gave me." Quinlin went to court.

This time, the unbearable Jacqueline concealed herself by intrusion. Private and flirtatious. Harassment countersued Ron, and ultimately won. Ron was ordered by the court to stay more than twenty-five feet away from Jacqueline.

In Ron's later memoirs, he said, "At that time, Jacqueline was literally my girlfriend", because in the process of stalking Jacqueline, if he found someone else offended Jacqueline, he would She will definitely rush forward to protect her, and Ron firmly believes from the beginning to the end that although Jacqueline sent him to court twice, she actually likes Ron to shoot her in her heart, otherwise "she will not be so much." A big smile blooms in my camera again and again."

Ron's candid photos of Jacqueline have been sorted into a total of 3 million photos. His favorite and most well-known one belongs to "Jacqueline in the Wind". This photo was taken when Ron was completely unaware of Jacqueline. It was taken under the condition of being followed by someone, and it became the most beautiful and natural photo of Jacqueline. The photo is now considered a work of art in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, New York.

In addition to Jacqueline, Ron also followed Marlon Brando for several years. Once he followed Marlon to the restaurant, and after taking a lot of photos, he was still reluctant to leave, even when Marlon asked him "You What else do you want?", he defiantly replied, "Take off the sunglasses and take a picture." As a result, Ma Long punched him fiercely, knocking out five of his teeth. But at the same time, Malone also spent three days in the hospital recovering because his fist was swollen by bacteria on Ron's teeth.

The most interesting thing is that this encounter did not keep Ron away from Malone, he still stalks the grumpy top star, the difference is that he wears a football player's helmet every time, so that Malone is injured. It's out of his head. For a long time after that, where Malone appeared, a paparazzi with a football helmet could be seen not far away, which also became a classic scene of media legends.

With the gradual rise of paparazzi, they have even become an important news source for major newspapers. Therefore, two factions of paparazzi were born. One is similar to the "National Enquirer" and "Entertainment Weekly". Newspapers and magazines, they will cultivate their own professional paparazzi.

The other is a news agency like the Associated Press, made up of professional paparazzi. In fact, they can be understood as private investigators. Their job is to monitor all the focus points in the circle. The sources of information are located in every corner of the city, including insiders. After collecting the information, they will wait for the price and sell the information. To major newspapers and magazines - the highest bidder wins.

Anthony himself was born in the paparazzi and turned into a reporter. In fact, paparazzi is still his specialty, and the two colleagues he just discovered, the one hiding behind the palm trees should be on the road to the parking lot, the palm tree. The tree is at the intersection of the only road in the parking lot. Although Anthony did not see the front, he can guess that this should be a special paparazzi of gossip magazines such as "Entertainment Weekly"; and the one hiding on the hillside is occupying the high ground , to control the door of the restaurant condescendingly, this is a professional paparazzi.

It seems that today's competition may not be as simple as imagined.
