King of Hollywood

Chapter 221 Gossip

"Damn it, that's mine, Alan" Mark Ruffalo looked angrily at his companion, the thin, mustache Alan Luther, who just a few seconds ago reached out to The French fries that he hadn't touched all this time got them in front of him and ate them happily, and even smiled at him proudly.

"I know it's yours, but you haven't moved. I thought you didn't need it, so I might as well do you a favor." Allen shrugged, and at the same time quickly stuffed the French fries into his mouth, as if Mark would snatch it back in no time.

"What do you think?" Mark rolled his eyes, "I'm really curious, Alan, why do you eat so many high-calorie foods but still don't gain weight? Or should I order you some more burgers?"

"That's great if you want." Allen laughed.

Mark rolled his eyes again, shook his head and looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, and then began to babble: "God knows why they let you partner with me, and it's been a few months... Which idiot said this street There are a lot of stars on the Internet? I and he have been walking here and there for almost one night, and I haven’t seen half a person. Obviously, today’s camera can be used again... Oh, why am I so unlucky every time, even a little No news about gossip..."

This man named Mark Ruffalo is about 25 years old. He wears a baseball cap backwards, several metal chains around his neck, and a big metal ring on his thumb. He looks like a man playing rock and roll. He is a reporter for a tabloid. . Of course, it might be more accurate to use the title paparazzi, but Mark prefers to call himself a reporter.

If you don't talk about those shameless features, a qualified paparazzi must at least have keen observation skills and be able to distinguish celebrities from the crowd. It's a pity that Mark lacks such skills. It is very normal to have no news for ten days and a half months, and the paparazzi's gate is low, otherwise he would have been kicked out.

Even so, he is now facing pressure from the editor-in-chief. The sales of the newspaper are gradually declining. The editor-in-chief has clearly told him that if he can't get any more gossip news, he will pack up and leave.

So this time Mark deliberately found a well-informed friend to inquire about, and ran to this street to wait for the rabbit. Unfortunately, he stayed for an afternoon and half a night, but he didn't take a single photo. As for his partner Alan, this guy has no other specialties except eating and drinking. Like him, he is a loser among the paparazzi. The only reason Mark tolerates him is that he is the only one who listens to his nagging but rarely Rebuttal or show an impatient look.

"Ah, what a wonderful night, it looks like we're going to be finished." After coming out of the restaurant, Mark was still nagging. He felt that today's hope was very slim, and he might be fired tomorrow.

"Maybe we will find out the big news right away." Alan comforted him rarely, but unfortunately he didn't take it to heart at all: "I have said this sentence to myself thousands of times, but it will not help to improve the current situation. Maybe I should change my career to be another reporter, such as reporting on police interrogation of illegal vehicles and so on..."

Mark suddenly yelled, and stared at the opposite side of the street without blinking. A silver-white Maserati was parked by the side of the road, and a policeman was questioning something in front of the window. From their direction, they could just see the woman sitting in the co-pilot.

"What happened?" Alan asked at this time, startled by him.

"Wait, wait" Mark frantically picked up the camera around his neck, adjusted the focus to the car on the other side of the street, and soon his hands began to tremble.

"Alan, take a look." Mark took a deep breath and stuffed the camera into Allen's arms, "The woman facing the co-pilot isn't Julia Roberts? Is it?"

"I'm watching, don't worry." Allen raised the camera and watched carefully for a few seconds, "Well, I think, it should, yes."

"That's great, come here." Mark excitedly pulled Allen into a nearby alley, adjusted the focus on the car, and started to press the shutter frantically.

"Did you see, Alan, the man he was kissing her was actually kissing Julia? Roberts is great, this time he caught the big news." Mark's tone was full of excitement, and his hands never stopped, " By the way, do you know that man? He looks familiar."

"Let me see, let me think about it." Allen also took out the binoculars from his backpack at this time, pointed at the cars on the street and changed the angle to observe, "It seems...it seems to be...right The Miracle Director"

"Which miracle director?" Mark just asked, and immediately slapped himself on the head, "Yes, Adrian Cowell, the one who won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award in March and won two consecutive awards The guy who was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars and holds the record for being the youngest nominee for Best Director."

"There are also a series of titles such as workaholics, ghost directors, and wizard directors. He used two films at this year's Oscars to make Al Pacino and Emma Thompson win the best actor and actress. He got 6 nominations. I also heard that he should have been nominated for three best directors." Allen said in detail.

Mark finally found out that his partner had some good qualities, but now was not the time to talk about it.

"Okay, now that the title is in place, do you think 'Julia Roberts Hooks Up With Marvel Director'? Or 'Pretty Woman And Marvel Director Car Makeout'? Oh god, I'm so excited , I've almost seen the bonus check from the editor-in-chief I think it must have something to do with me going to church yesterday for prayers, maybe every week I should be teaching...hell they're leaving." before I knew it The nagging Mark suddenly yelled, grabbed Alan and ran to his car. Unfortunately, after they opened the door, the silver-white Maserati had disappeared without a trace.

"Oh goddamn it," Mark yelled, annoyed, "how much it would be worth if it could be photographed of that man entering Julia's house, if..."

"Okay, Mark, I've taken enough photos today." Allen said with relief, but he was very open-minded.

"Enough? How can there be more?" Mark still shouted unwillingly, "If such a photo can be taken, I bet the number of the bonus check will be at least doubled."

"But the problem is that we can't catch up now," Allen spread his hands and his mustache trembled. "So instead of complaining here, it's better to go back and develop the photos and pick out the most valuable ones."

Mark stared at his partner for a long while, then waved his hands and got into the car: "That's right, we'll go back right away"

When the news of "Pretty Woman" Julia and "Miracle Director" Adrian went on a date and continued to make out in the car after being questioned by the police" was published in the "Matterville Weekly", the circulation of this article was only 100%. Sales of thousands of tabloids instantly doubled

"... We can clearly see from the photos that Adrian and Julia were talking and laughing happily in the car, and when the police arrived, Julia deliberately lowered her head as if she didn't want to be recognized, but A few minutes later she was talking to the police again. We don't know why, but what is certain is that the actress of "Pretty Woman" fame is indeed in a relationship with a miracle director who has many titles such as a workaholic. Date, I believe they must have had a good night. After being interrogated by the police, the two made out again and then drove away in a hurry, probably because they didn't want to attract the police again..."

Like most tabloids, this report randomly exaggerates, falsifies facts, distorts the truth, fools readers, and creates troubles. For example, the above-mentioned paragraph clearly hints at how the two brought the police over.

But if it's just a written article, it usually only attracts people with a strong curiosity about gossip, and even then it's just a forgettable thing, and sales may rise or continue to decline.

But this time is different, this time there are also several clearer photos published in the newspaper. Although they cannot be compared with those photos taken by high-power lenses, they are quite good compared to some photos taken secretly.

There are five photos in total, the first one is Julia with her head down and Adrian is talking to the policeman; the second one is Julian and the policeman talking; the third one is the policeman leaving while Adrian and Julia smiled and said something; the fourth and most important one, the photographer deliberately turned the angle so that Adrian clearly kissed Julia's cheek, but the photo looked like Passionate kisses; as for the fifth one, of course they left with a smile after the kiss.

A picture is much more convincing than words, especially in this age without PS, so the report immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the mainstream media also reprinted it one after another, and began to pay attention to this scandal.

After all, although Adrian has kept a low profile for a while after the Oscars, there have been related news such as the shooting of a new movie related to killers in New York, or minor injuries due to accidents with the crew. Although the title of Julia's "box office poison" is no longer mentioned, it has not been too long since now. Besides, the image of "Vivienne" has always been the favorite of many people. So they are all extremely newsworthy people, how could the entertainment media let this go.

So they acted quickly, calling their agents, asking those well-informed people for news, analyzing the news in newspapers to attract attention, and sending reporters to guard outside their houses. It is indispensable. When the entire entertainment media industry starts to rush for this news, the efficiency of obtaining news is much more than that of a single tabloid. It's just that, unfortunately, they are doomed not to get what they want. \u003c/p\u003e
