"Everything and Cesare. Everything Vijri had to do was on the horizon — bribing security guards, as we did in West End theaters, taking pictures of him with women, or, more directly, asking the local paparazzi to buy them. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|" William from the Daily Mirror. Defoe commanded loudly into the phone. "Understand? Jennifer. Jefferson and her ex-husband must have bought off the local media and traded street photos for news and fair trade — but the paparazzi would be happy to make an extra buck if they could find a second buyer, and that's what I'm talking about, open your mind, man, what you need right now is a simple and quick photo, anything that was taken in the recent past, that can elicit a reverie — you don't have to teach you how to be a journalist, do you? ”

After getting the assistant on the other side of the phone to agree, he hung up the phone, shook his head helplessly, and walked back to the gathering place of the paparazzi outside the studio, "It's almost noon, at least give us a photo." ”

There were dozens of paparazzi gathered here, and under the scorching California sun, this group of black and white men was sunburned and smelled, and some of the lazy paparazzi had already burrowed into the shadows, took out Coke from the refrigerator behind the car and drank it, and many of them laughed when they heard the complaints of their overseas counterparts. "Well, being a paparazzi in California isn't that easy, is it? Especially in this weather – are you already missing London? ”

"Damnright, at least I miss the filming conditions in London." William squinted and compared the distance, then put down the camera in rejects, "*! How can you take good photos from this distance? It's a waste of time – seriously, at least in the UK, Jennifer wasn't that hard to photograph. ”

"If you're talking about that eavesdropping," said the old paparazzi with some curiosity, "what did you just say?" Are you that photographer's assistant? INTERVIEWER Seriously, the photographer who made the incident? ”

"Yep, that's the empty door I broke for his contact." William said a little smugly, "You know, a phone with a charger on it — it's too easy, and then, the big news of the big news — but that kid from Sheff has already fled the country for this, probably to Spain, I guess." ”

He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "He's really making a lot of money on that news - he's going to have to find a place to spend it, doesn't he?" ”

Even with some defensiveness against the British, the paparazzi let out a series of swishes of respect and envy, except for the old paparazzi who said coldly, "You know, that's not how things work with us – wiretapping is illegal, and you'll go to jail for it." Besides, I don't think there's anything to be proud of in intruding into a good girl's private life - listen, there's a lot of bitch in the stars, but Jennifer isn't, and you're not a gentleman at all to her. ”

William spat out, but he didn't mean to raise the bar when the crowd didn't object to his words—he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of the conversation, and he was counting on finding a few pictures from his peers, "Really? Jennifer not included? Man, you're really scaring me, and honestly, I don't know what you think of celebrities on the other side of the ocean, but in the UK you can pack a ticket, and the guy you're shooting with is definitely not a good guy, a politician, a celebrity, a reality TV celebrity — anybody who is newsworthy, he deserves everything he encounters. ”

People who will choose paparazzi as a profession have a somewhat paranoid personality - if you can't drill the horns, you won't be able to do this business for long, and the 'uncrowned king' (self-proclaimed) who has witnessed the most * and dirty side of these news figures, it is really difficult to say that he has any good feelings for this group of subjects who are not the same as those who are photographed, and there is a sparse echo from the crowd, but it is not too enthusiastic.

"It's true that there are a lot of jerks among the stars, but Jennifer is not, and if you've followed her, you can see why we say that." But the old paparazzi at the beginning still insisted on his opinion, "I've been following her for 8 years, man, she even called my name, and when she was sent a death threat by Stalker, it was a tissue I handed her, and you know what?" In all 8 years, I've only heard of her getting drunk once, at the Billion Celebration of Codename Shero — just once, you know? No smoking, no alcohol, certainly no big. Hemp, Ke. Card. Cause, poison. Pin, no, nothing, not even a one-night stand except for her boyfriend, you know, I haven't even heard her swear in 8 years - to be honest, it's an absolute chore to follow her, almost no one wants to come, why? Because you can't shoot anything at all, it's so boring in this job, and you just shoot her day after day as she walks, shopping, and talks to people—"

This time, the crowd shouted louder, and a black man interjected, "Once—just once, I saw her companion pull out a cigarette, and she reached out, and I thought I had finally sent a picture of Jennifer smoking!" This pair of Justin. Bieber may not be a big deal, but Jennifer? I can sell a sheet for tens of thousands of dollars, and the result? Hell, she's telling them that smoking isn't allowed here. ”

"If it weren't for the magazine's high price for her street photos—"

"Yep, if it weren't for that, who would continue to shoot her? It's the most desperate game at all - the kind of desperate one that you don't see the slightest change. ”

"But you have to admit that she's a nice well-bred girl, and she almost never speaks ill of the paparazzi — never a middle finger, does she?"

"I have to say, if even the paparazzi admit that she is a good person, I'm afraid this matter can only be decided like this." When none of the celebrities came out, the paparazzi also talked to each other, "Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no doubts about her - if you are honest, Cesare and her do have a little time to spend together in private." ”

"I listen—here's what I've heard, it's said that Cesare and Josh and Chris weren't her real lovers, they were all Beards—or what should I say about Lesbian? boobs？ In any case, I heard that these lovers were just a smokescreen, especially this marriage, just to legally cede shares to Cesare and make him a shareholder of Big Dream. ”

"Why?"

"There's a legend that Cesare is said to have signed a contract with her that wasn't your average brokerage, you know, she got to where she is today with his connections, and he's going to take 50% of all her earnings, which is the asking price he asked for her fame, and that includes the company, of course, but this contract doesn't ......come to light."

"It sounds a lot like an urban legend." William couldn't help it: the Daily Mirror wouldn't want such a ridiculous and unsubstantiated report. "But Jennifer and Cesare really don't have a close relationship, do they?"

"Married for two years and living in Los Angeles for no more than three months at the same time, what do you say?" "But they were on a good relationship — I heard they didn't sign a prenuptial agreement, so Cesare was able to justifiably take the Disney shares that the couple had invested in after marriage, and of course half of the shares in Big Dream — and she's already signed the divorce agreement." ”

“geez……”

There was a low sigh from the crowd, and someone said, "She's generous enough, either way—isn't she, Terry?" Among so many celebrity cases we have seen, she should be the only star who is so happy to divide the family property. ”

"It's also the family with the largest amount of property - do you know how much tax they have to pay if all this is a gift?" Terry, the old paparazzi, said as the crowd quieted down and he shrugged, "But, anyway, she's still a nice person, and we've all eaten the doughnuts she asked her assistant to buy." ”

"Indeed." One after another, someone admitted, "If she doesn't plan to go out for a short time, she will always have people come to say hello, and you can go to the car and rest for a while - she never lies about her itinerary." ”

"The price of the photo is generous enough—" Terry said, noticing William's expression, he added, "It's not that kind of picture, it's just that she and Chris. Hemsworth walking together in pictures, as well as Tom. Hiddleston, Chris. Evans, you know, she has a good relationship with her colleagues, but at this juncture, it's easy to get a picture of a man and a woman, so she buys it at a price — that's Jennifer, and she's always in business that makes you lose money. ”

"Let's make it possible for us losers to pay our mortgages, won't we?" A young man interjected, eliciting a smug laugh: Don't look at the hard work and undignified work of these paparazzi, but they actually have a good income and can find a place in Los Angeles, where housing is expensive. "But, Terry, I didn't expect you to follow her for so long—she must have been living in the city when she was threatened with death, right? Are you really on the side? ”

"Of course." Terry puffed up his chest and said proudly, "Then she will be able to call my name, oh, you can't imagine it - sure, you've all seen the pictures, but they really can't be taken in the pictures, that real feeling, you know, Jennifer has so many street photos that are my work, but you really feel it, only when she comes up with tears in her eyes and asks if you see anyone coming in and out - at that point she was a real person, her kind of fear and panic - so real, man, That's so real......"

Paparazzi are a fast-moving business, many people don't know about the death threats from years ago, some are whispering what happened, others are whispering explanations, but William and the young man both knew about it, and they all seemed to be shocked by it, the young man pushed his sunglasses, and William noticed that his fingers were shaking.

"Well......" he said, his voice trembling a little, "and it looks like this incident has really affected her...... Very big impact......"

"yes." Terry sniffled, "At times like this, seriously, it does make you feel unsafe, doesn't it?" There is such a person in this world, whose presence makes you feel that the world is not safe, even if you have done nothing wrong. ”

His words didn't provoke any approval, because there was already a figure shaking in the distance - the paparazzi immediately got in good spirits and threw themselves into the cordon pulled by the crew and shouted, "Robert! Hey Chris! ”

Since this is private territory, there are security guards nearby, and the paparazzi are very well-behaved and did not rush forward, but just filmed outside the demarcated range, they photographed several actors in costumes laughing and walking into the cafeteria on the other side, and Jennifer in the shero uniform was also among them, she was with Scarlett. Johnson said something, and it was clear that the morning reshoot went well, and everyone's expressions were quite pleasant.

After more than ten seconds of shooting time, the paparazzi dispersed again, and William did not come up again to inquire about the news, he was a little frustrated: the "Daily Mirror" sent two reporters to Los Angeles, in addition to the ultimate goal of getting exclusive big news, there was also an expedient way to buy ambiguous photos - however, whether it was the information obtained from Terry and other paparazzi, or the difficulty of shooting on the scene, he was discouraged: Generally speaking, the paparazzi are still very trustworthy, since the right to use the photos was bought by Jennifer's side, will not sell to William for the second time, otherwise there will not only be the danger of being sued, but also be squeezed out by peers, this industry that plays spy against spy many times depends on credit to a large extent. It looked like it was going to take a working photo in a matter of days and send it to life with a vivid story, and the plan to make the Daily Mirror a big sale was close to bankruptcy, and he didn't like the paparazzi's respectful and protective attitude towards Jennifer, which would make everything a problem.

"It's no wonder that in recent years, both in the big and small newspapers, the over-the-top coverage of Jennifer has been decreasing, isn't it?"

At lunchtime, many paparazzi have already driven away to enjoy their lunch break - the paparazzi from the canteen to the trailer can't be photographed, and there is no point in continuing to stay, the crew seems to have their own schedule for filming here, and everyone is strictly commuting to and from work according to the time, but William didn't leave, but sat cross-legged in the shade of a tree and bit a hamburger with a heavy heart, and when the young man squatted down beside him, he raised an eyebrow, and the other party held out a hand. "Robert."

"William." William gave him a place. "You're new here?"

"Not long after I joined, I heard too much about it, and I wanted to try to make a fortune myself." Robert shrugged his shoulders, "I only found out after joining that she really took in these paparazzi, didn't she?" Without those photos, who else can fabricate her scandal except for the most discredited tabloids? - Cesare really didn't take half of his family property for nothing in this regard, and he did a good job of controlling public opinion. ”

His tone made William feel as if he had met his kind, and he smiled knowingly, "But only we know her true color, don't we?" ”

"Yes, only we know, with all that smile, thoughtfulness, upbringing, and innocence," Robert pushed his sunglasses, his fingers trembling slightly, "she's a. Prostitute, isn't it? A liar, she's totally unworthy of everyone's affection for her, lie after lie—"

"You mean?" William's heartbeat paused for a second, and the excitement before the big news grabbed his heart: Finally! This trip didn't run in vain, it looks like this little paparazzi has a big deal to do. "What lie?"

"She and Cesare," said Robert without thinking, "the marriage was a lie—the product of marketing, you know, Christine. Stuart and Robert. An evolution of Pattinson, this time they got married, just like she and Josh. Blanche's engagement was all lies, lies—she was like that, she got everything by cheating, and I'll be honest with you, William, it's her trick. ”

"But—" William let his tone surprise a little more, tempting him to say more, "you—how do you prove it?" Did you get a picture? ”

"How do I prove it? Oh, of course I have proof...... "Robert's chest heaved up and down, and he was a little hunched over, so he looked very thin, but he seemed to be easily agitated. "Of course I have proof—"

After hanging William's appetite to the highest, he glanced at him, and suddenly regained his composure, and laughed a little slyly, "Yes, of course I have proof—the proof is my eyes!" I knew it as soon as I saw their pictures - my gut instinct, my gut told me, *, believe me, she and Josh were absolutely nothing, and the same was with Cesare, it wasn't a look in love. ”

William was angry and angry, he yelled '*', and felt like he was being played by Robert, "Are you serious?" Your eyes? Robert, your eyes? ”

He snatched Robert's sunglasses half-jokingly, half-seriously, and wanted to make a joke about his eyes, but William took the sunglasses for a moment, and his anger disappeared and was replaced by curiosity.

"I ...... Looks like I've seen you, man. He let go of his hand and let Robert get his sunglasses back, "I think you're a little familiar - have you ever done this in London before?" ”

Robert stared at William for a moment, as if thinking about something, and after a while, he put back his sunglasses and shrugged his shoulders.

"No." He said in a relaxed tone, "Look at my hunchback—have you forgotten this?" ”

William had nothing to say about his self-deprecation, he laughed a few times and was no longer so angry, but still not dead, "Okay, okay, but- are you sure you don't have proof?" Just by your eyes? ”

Robert grinned at him.

"Guess what?" He said, "Listen, William, I know what you want, and I'll admit it, that girl is a. Son, she needs to be taught a lesson – but guess what? ”

He pushed his sunglasses up and squeezed his eyes at William, "Even if she's a. - she's my prostitute, too. Prostitute, if anyone is going to teach her a lesson-"

Stretching out his finger to compare himself, Robert put down his sunglasses and took a big sip of Coke, he pressed William's shoulder, "See you later." ”

"See you later." William said that as he watched Robert walk away, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and mutter. "/American Characteristic Weirdos......"

As if noticing something, he squinted, stood up and looked down the alley where Robert had disappeared, and then looked at the set, William grinned, he threw the hamburger in the trash, grabbed the camera and quietly followed......
