"I can't say that the relationship didn't affect me at all, the end of any relationship is very draining, especially with a wonderful man like Hugo. In the last few years, I have tried to leave the city and experience life in different places, and I also went to India to learn yoga to try to open my mind and learn to accept more different things. When I came back to Hollywood, my mindset changed dramatically......"

Joseph reads the New York Post, and although Hugo's partnership with the New York Post has been completely terminated, he still reads it for strategic reasons. When he saw the newspaper interview with Uma, Joseph couldn't help but laugh, as if he were watching a circus performance.

"Hugo is a very good man, but in a relationship, this is not the decisive word...... Just as a good man doesn't necessarily make a good father, a good date doesn't necessarily make a good marriage. ”

This is Uma's final remarks during the interview. Even if Joseph wasn't there, he could imagine that the scene would be frying because of Uma's words. These words not only show Uma's calm and generous, showing the atmosphere of an excellent woman, but also digging a big hole for Hugo in the way of praise, and the words of praise and disparagement cannot be a hint: there are too many insiders worth digging in her relationship with Hugo.

Halfway through the conversation, Uma came to an abrupt halt, and after that, the media was bound to chase after it, and the hype of the topic slowly increased, creating the best effect. The same words, the same situation, Umma's speaking skills are obviously more than superb, and she has grown a lot after a few years of lying on her salary.

"What are you looking at?" Hugo walked in quickly, in fact, he didn't care much about Joseph's situation at all, just casually asked as a greeting, and after entering the RV, he quickly sat down in front of the dressing table, picked up the notebook next to him, and began to draw quickly.

Joseph walked over with the newspaper and teased, "Your old love has reappeared." ”

Hugo didn't even raise his head, "Who?" "I was quickly starting to compose the picture, but ...... Hugo really doesn't have an art cell, and he doesn't paint it like four things at all.

Joseph complained about Hugo's lightness, "Hey, man, even though Uma Thurman was her name a long time ago, you don't remember her at all." Hugo was now very comfortable with that past, and Uma was nothing special to him, so Joseph didn't shy away from him.

Hugo nodded his chin slightly, "Uma, yes...... Of course I remember her, but what's wrong with her? ”

Joseph opened his mouth, but he didn't want to say it at all, because Hugo was so focused on the composition in his hand that he didn't pay attention to the hot news in his hand, "Uma has said bad things about you in front of the media again, and it is estimated that the reporter will come to you tomorrow at the latest." ”

"Hmm."

"She made a lot of nonsense at reporters, saying that you are a terrible man, it can't be worse, very different from the image created by the media, a complete hypocrite, and she hates you to death."

"Hmm."

"She accused you of using your connections to block her and make her go through a very difficult time."

"Hmm."

She said...... You bed. Poor kung fu caused you to break up. ”

"......" was silent, and then silent, and suddenly Hugo raised his head and said solemnly, "This is absolutely incorrect." After finishing speaking, he continued to look down and draw in his notebook, Joseph could only put the "New York Post" aside with black lines, and carefully looked at Hugo's works, but ...... It's completely incomprehensible.

"So, what is this?" Joseph asked curiously.

Hugo picked up the painting in his notebook and looked at it carefully, "The bookshelf of the male protagonist in my script, I conceived it this way, every detail on the bookshelf is meaningful, it is the shaping of the hero's personality." But...... Why doesn't it feel right to draw it at all? ”

"I thought it was a spider's web." Joseph rolled his eyes, Hugo's talent in painting was already approaching a negative value, "This is not your job, it should be the director's job, why do you think so much?" This sentence made Hugo droop his shoulders a little frustratedly, but then he thought about it and smiled again, "Anyway, I'll show it to the director, maybe he will be inspired?" ”

Joseph glanced at the mess and didn't want to hit Hugo anymore - it was a painting that no one could read, not even an abstract painting, which could be called distorted realism.

"So, what the hell just happened?" Hugo gave up putting the pen on the table and turned to face Joseph.

"I thought you weren't curious." Joseph pointed to the New York Post next to him, and the headline of the huge entertainment section read, "The Impotent in Love - Hugo Lancaster", which attracted attention and made people feel the urge to read it at a glance.

Hugo picked it up and scanned it casually, and laughed, "It's just an interview, there's nothing to make a fuss about." Then he just threw it aside, not caring at all.

Over the years, after experiencing countless storms and waves, especially after the peak of his career, "many people are popular" has become the norm of life, especially in this land where freedom of speech is highly protected, there will be rumors about Hugo every once in a while, many of which are negative news. It's like Michael Jackson at his peak, all kinds of ridiculous rumors have come out, but it is impossible for Michael to clarify them one by one, otherwise his own life will be completely ruined. Hugo's situation is much better now, the uncrowned kings have suffered consecutive blows in the past two or three years, and they have always been short of breath when facing Hugo, so although the rumors are flying all over the sky, they are not too outrageous.

Hugo has long learned what to pay attention to, what to ignore, and what to fight back.

Remarks like Umma's have also been common in the past few years, and during the "Stormy" world tour, some fans broke the news that she and Hugo Chun. The wind was once blown, and the result was abandoned. It was later proven that this was just a fantasy of the fans themselves, and there was no source of evidence at all.

What Uma needs is Hugo's concern and counterattack, so that the news can be hyped. Otherwise, without Hugo's cooperation, she is just a clown dancing the beam singing a one-man show, and the media who danced with her are just enjoying themselves, and they don't know how it will end in the end.

What's more, Uma's time has become history, and time has long since worn it out. Such hype can only be said to be the next step.

"This can't be a strategy of Warner Bros. Propaganda, right? If so, it's too retarded, wouldn't they think? Hugo's look of disgust made Joseph laugh directly.

"You think you're mentally retarded, but in fact, the masses eat this set." After any news and Hugo are involved, the effect will be magnified several times, and it can be seen as efficient, "However, I don't think it should be Warner Bros. propaganda strategy, they are not so stupid." Joseph also had to agree, "It should be more of the crew's own internal thoughts." ”

Hugo still didn't look too interested, just raised his eyes and gave a look, as if asking, "What's going on?" ”

Joseph smiled helplessly, Hugo really didn't cooperate at all, but he still explained, "Joe Schumacher, I have always been dissatisfied with your previous negotiations, he always seems to look at you unpleasantly; George Clooney, I heard from Dawes that Tracy recommended him to the "ER Story" crew, Chris O'Donnell took away the opportunity to play "Smell a Woman" in the first place, Arnold was the current box office king in Hollywood before you got a good start, he lost the last two productions against you, and then, Uma ......"

Joseph explained a lot, and found that Hugo still had round eyes and a puzzled look, and he had to add, "I asked Nicholas, and some people in the circle said that before Joe broke into the fame, Tracy could be regarded as his Bole ......" But Hugo still had a puzzled expression on his face, which made Joseph speechless for a while, and could only directly reveal the mystery, "So, now Dawes and they all call 'Batman and Robin' the Avengers." ”

The Avengers? Hugo was stunned, and then immediately felt the malicious laughter in it, and burst out laughing, "Haha, but...... Batman is DC Comics, while the Avengers are Marvel, aren't they? Ha ha. As soon as the words fell, Hugo thought of the hidden joke behind this sentence, and was completely happy, clapping his hands and laughing.

In fact, in the United States, DC Comics is the mainstream, and although Marvel Comics is divided from its opponents in the market, the gap in strength is very huge. Except for slightly more well-known characters such as Hulk and Iron Man, the popularity of other major characters in the hearts of the public is not high, not to mention the Avengers, who later created a box office myth. In short, the current "Avengers" is more like a representative of the non-mainstream, but on the contrary - Batman, as the pillar character of DC Comics after Superman, is not at the same level of popularity at all.

Now, Dawes Carter calls "Batman and Robin" the Avengers, in addition to satirizing the entire cast lineup as Hugo's opponent and enemy, it is actually a mockery of this work, and they are not optimistic about the prospects of this work, and their deep malice is almost undisguised.

When Joseph saw Hugo laughing in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head and laughed directly.

The Avengers, this is indeed a nickname full of imagination.
