Chapter 735 735 Frontal Collision

The full rise of the paparazzi industry is accompanied by the rise of the Internet and has entered a rapid development. The world's largest paparazzi news agency X17 Photo Agency was established in 1997. They have at least 150 or more paparazzi, excluding those short-term paparazzi. The temporary paparazzi who work part-time can earn more than 10 million US dollars a year, making them the largest gossip center in the world.

In 2007, in order to take photos of Britney Spears's degenerate period, X17 photo agency sent 30 to 40 paparazzi to follow her throughout the day, and announced her private life in the public eye without any cover up. Ni's private life also created $100 million in value for the American entertainment industry, but it was accompanied by an explosive response to Britney's direct hands-on smashing of paparazzi cars.

In 1997, the former British princess Diana Spencer (Diana. Spencer) and her boyfriend died in a car accident in order to avoid the paparazzi who followed them. Afterwards, a paparazzi from France claimed to have photographed the princess wearing an oxygen mask and blood on her face. Photo, which was bought by The Sun for $600,000. When they learned that the princess died, a British paparazzi burst into tears, not to mourn the princess, but to suffer the loss of his fortune, because he secretly photographed the princess for more than ten years and sold the photos to gossip newspapers and magazines, earning money To fourteen sports cars and three villas.

When the artist's private life became a means for the major media to seek huge profits, the paparazzi business gradually flourished, and Michael Jackson prostituted himself. It's no surprise that journalists have been uncompromising in their tactics after the child crime broke out.

In fact, paparazzi colleagues can be competitors or partners, and the only goal they pursue is their interests, and they will do everything to achieve this goal. They can fight for a more appropriate shooting location, or they can risk everything—including their own lives—for a scoop, and they can also fight for a scoop.

So does Anthony.

Anthony doesn't know the paparazzi standing behind the palm tree, which is why he infers that he is a paparazzi under "Entertainment Weekly", because in the early 1990s, the personnel of the paparazzi at this time were far less than twenty-one. The century came frequently and quickly. In fact, the faces of the professional paparazzi were more or less known to each other. Only the paparazzi squatting on the hillside, Anthony knew.

The paparazzi is called Dawes - Carter (Dawes. Carter), Dawes is a famous paparazzi in Hollywood, he is famous for the events of Woody - Allen and the adopted daughter. After Lun's relationship was exposed, he pursued it for ten months. During that time, he provided more than 60% of the news about Woody, and he quickly established a reputation in the circle.

From Dawes's tracking of Woody, it can be seen that he admires paparazzi pioneer Ron Clara, and similarly, his close pressing of the artist is also a classic. Dawes has been beaten by artists twice, and has caused a lawsuit, becoming a popular figure in the circle.

Once in 1987, when filming the grumpy Sean Penn, Dawes and Sean had a head-on physical conflict. The hot-tempered Sean was like a time bomb, which not only destroyed Dawes's camera and car. It was smashed, and he punched Dawes, directly causing Dawes to dislocate his arm, and threatened, "Next time I see you, you will go into the coffin."

Another time last year was River Phoenix because of smoking. After his death from a drug overdose, Dawes's close stalking of Johnny Depp, Joaquin Phoenix, and Keanu Reeves eventually allowed bad boy Johnny to lose control, smash Dawes's camera, and He grabbed Dawes by the neck and threatened him to "don't follow me anymore and don't bother other people anymore".

Dawes filed lawsuits against Sean and Johnny respectively, but they did not actually go to court in the end, and settled out of court in the form of compensation.

But it is worth mentioning that not long after he and Sean reached an out-of-court settlement in 1987, Sean confronted each other because he found out that the extras from the same crew were filming him secretly. This personal attack put Sean in prison, and Dawes It was the first time that the first-hand information was released. This has also made Dawes famous in the circle, and his pursuit is obviously very powerful.

In the past two years, Hugo has never been the kind of object the paparazzi liked, because after the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo has almost disappeared, isolated from almost all negative news, and devoted himself to his own career progress. There have been a few scandals, including the relationship with Uma, but with a thriving career, there isn't much big news for the paparazzi to follow. It's frustrating that the paparazzi have spent hours tracking Hugo with little success.

The big news that appeared in the past few months was all head-on clashes with reporters, and the paparazzi were useless. In contrast, the paparazzi still prefer Hugo before the Golden Raspberry Awards. During that time, there were negative news about Hugo almost every once in a while. For the paparazzi, it was completely moving material.

So, even after the huge success of "Schindler's List" and the album "Almost Famous", the paparazzi who are willing to follow Hugo are still very limited. It's like today, Anthony's tip came from the internal staff of Shancheng. I believe that there must be more than three paparazzi who got this tip, but it has been more than an hour now, and there are still only three paparazzi at the gate of Shancheng. You can see the paparazzi. We've lost interest in Hugo News.

Anthony thought, he must be on guard against Dawes, and he didn't know what strategy Dawes would make to make things bigger. If three paparazzi besieged an artist, the artist fought a paparazzi, and the other two recorded the whole process, then whose news is the most valuable in the end? The answer is the victim.

Anthony had to guard against Dawes' uncompromising means. If necessary, he would rather break the balance by himself, otherwise Dawes would probably take the lead in the waiting tonight. But the problem is, the opponent is Hugo... This makes Anthony feel a little tricky.

Or did he choose to work with Dawes? Anthony struggled to start thinking about the possibilities. But at this moment, Dawes, who was standing on the hillside, made a movement, which made Anthony immediately withdraw all his thoughts and become vigilant.

I saw a pair of figures appearing at the door of the mountain city. Under the shroud of the hazy light, the outline of the figure was not clear, but Anthony narrowed his eyes. It was obviously Hugo! Although he could not see the specific appearance at this time, and Anthony was in a low position, and there was no way to see the detailed situation with a telescope, Anthony could feel that Hugo had a special temperament. It was easy to distinguish from the crowd, not to mention, Dawes's movement also proved his guess.

In an instant, Anthony picked up the camera, ready to go.

The man took the coat from the receptionist, put it on the woman, then put on his own coat and tidied up the collar... Anthony pressed the shutter to record this series of actions, but he was a little depressed because he didn't Occupying the commanding heights like Dawes, the effect of shooting is really limited.

Then the man and the woman left the mountain town side by side. The three staff members standing side by side at the door bowed to say goodbye, and the two slowly walked down the downhill road. Since the entrance of the mountain city is an open and flat field without any obstructions, there is no paparazzi hiding there, because there is no way to hide the body shape, everyone can only stand 30 yards away to find obstructions and wait. They can only watch men and women approaching step by step.

Anthony could feel the thrill of his heart twitching. It's really been a long time since the witch trial, which was so turbulent a while ago, almost made him lose all confidence, but at this moment, he held his hands tightly. He once again felt the calmness and composure of the world in his hands.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Anthony immediately recognized it accurately. It was Hugo! There is no doubt that the person standing beside Hugo is Sandra Bullock, who recently collaborated with him on "Speed ​​of Life and Death". Although the two of them are not arm-in-arm, the scene of walking side by side, talking and laughing, is obviously Couldn't be better evidence.

At this moment, Anthony didn't wait for any further reaction, and quickly jumped out from behind the rockery he was hiding in, rushed up, and pressed the shutter of the camera in his hand. Now Anthony has an advantage over the other two because the Hugos are walking along the one-way street instead of the parking lot, which makes the paparazzi behind the palm tree have to run twenty yards to catch up As for Daws on the hillside, although he grabbed the photo of the gate of the mountain city, but now he has to run down the hillside first, the distance is at least thirty yards, and Anthony only needs less than ten yards!

Neither Hugo nor Sandra seemed to have expected the paparazzi to come out, and the two of them didn't have time to react. The flashing light tore through the dim light, causing the two of them to raise their palms to cover their eyes, trying to relieve the sudden The sharpness brought by the bright light; and the footsteps stopped in the same place at the same time, did not retreat, did not move forward, just stopped the pace.

This suddenly caught Anthony, who was constantly sprinting forward and thinking about how to contain him, by surprise. He hadn't adapted to the life of the paparazzi for too long, and he was still a little rusty. Anthony actually rushed directly in front of Hugo. The camera rushed forward and hit Hugo's chest. The strong impact made Hugo take a step back when his center of gravity was unsteady, and Sandra quickly reached out to support Hugo.

In an instant, there was a one-second pause at the scene. Now it seems that Anthony is deliberately provoking Hugo, hoping that Hugo will beat him. In a trance, history seems to repeat itself, so how will Hugo face it this time?
