Hugo smiled bitterly, "Michael, I don't want to give up because I don't want to give up, but..." Hugo didn't say the following words, because he seemed to have no constructive opinions except "Never Give Up". If you can't say it, it's the same as saying nothing, because "Never give up" is not something that can be done by shouting slogans. This feeling is really bad.

"Hugo, no, I don't think this is a surrender. This is only a temporary compromise, and it is a compromise that I must make." Michael's mentality has quietly changed. Before calling Hugo, he felt that he was just telling it personally. Hugo said the result, it was a real surrender; but now, Michael knows that things have started to be different, because of Hugo.

"What? What did you say?" Although Hugo has grown a lot, he still knows too little about the entertainment industry. He has no way to immediately understand what Michael meant by "temporary compromise", and , Why is this a compromise that must be done again?

"You know, although there is currently no evidence to prove Jordan’s statement, the jury will not ignore Jordan’s testimony as a witness. Therefore, the entire litigation investigation will last for a long time, six months, one year, or even two years. My physical and mental conditions are no longer able to bear it." Michael whispered. Although this was a decision he made after undergoing a physical examination, his mentality at this time was totally different from yesterday’s mentality. , If yesterday was a renunciation-style compromise, then Michael now realizes that this is not a renunciation, but another way of fighting.

"I am a singer. Too many people have been hurt in this matter. I still hope to continue singing, recording, and performing. I hope to continue my life, give full play to my talents, and work hard. I don’t want to Keep entangled in this matter." Michael went on to say that this made Hugo on the other end of the phone more and more angry. He felt that this was bowing to society and compromising with the media. For him, it was psychologically. It’s hard to accept. Michael seems to have felt Hugo’s fluctuating emotions. He quickly said, "Hugo, calm down, listen to me, this matter has been hyped too much, you know, countless media have I hope to make money from the negative news of this incident. The supermarket tabloids are even more uncompromising to obtain the so-called exclusive. Even the Los Angeles police have been bribed. If this continues, more and more people will be harmed. Now They are just attacking me, but what happens next? They will attack my family, attack my friends..."

At this point, Michael paused, hesitated for a moment, and then he said, "You know, there are more and more vicious rumors against you..." Michael is acknowledging that Hugo is his friend. For Michael, it is not an easy task.

But Hugo didn't notice it at this time, he just blurted out, "I don't care, let those crows continue to yell, it has no effect on me."

"I know you don’t care, but what about the others? What about my family, my work partner, and the other guys in my Dream Manor? You know, even the family of the Dream Manor cleaners are surrounded by paparazzi. They are now When you go to the supermarket, you will be attacked by a lot of paparazzi flashes. They are all innocent, but they are affected because of this incident." Michael’s series of rebuttals gradually calmed Hugo, "You know why there are so many in Hollywood. Do homosexuals dare not come out publicly? There are many reasons, such as fear of being discriminated against, fear of losing their job, etc., but one of them is very important because they are not allowed to come out.

Michael’s words left Hugo speechless. Although he didn’t know these things, he understood them at once. In fact, in a nutshell, it’s the word "responsibility". I just heard Michael continue to say, "Because every artist They are all a combination of interests. In theory, the sexual orientation of an artist is only their sex, which has nothing to do with their career, and all audiences are even more irrelevant. But in fact, the artist itself is an inside and out of play. The common combination of the film company and the powerful PR device of the agency uses the smiles and smiles of the artists to deify them into a public image and package them into a commodity; once this image is rooted in the eyes of the audience, it will have a detachment from the artist himself. Independence, when the details of his life that do not fit the image are spread, this image will be destroyed, and the impact will be huge."

"Let's make an assumption. If Tom Cruise is gay, he has the courage to admit that he is not even afraid of losing the box office or losing tens of millions of dollars in value, but he still has to consider the livelihoods of other people because of his Work directly affects the interests of a large number of people. If his salary is reduced by half, the income of his agents, managers, public relations, assistants, etc. will all be affected. If one day he is bold enough to disclose his personal secrets to the public, Then everyone around him will persuade him that this is actually not "sincere" but "selfish"."

Michael’s words have had a huge impact on Hugo. He has always known that an artist is actually a commodity, and even everyone in the society is a commodity. Only commodities with utility value and commercial benefits will the company be willing to hire and will Produce social value, but Hugo did not expect that behind the commodity value, there are corresponding responsibilities.

In fact, this is a very simple truth. The boss of a factory has no way to be willful, because this is not only his business, but also the livelihood of the entire factory's employees. This is a matter of responsibility. At the end of the movie "Crazy Stone", the factory manager sold the factory to the developer for his own benefit, but the factory had no source of livelihood for more than 200 young and old, so he was scolded by others. This is the reason .

The same is true in the entertainment industry. The higher the position of the artist, the heavier the responsibility, aside from the problem of coming out of the closet mentioned by Michael, the artist is drinking and smoking. Drugs, fights, car racing, and other issues have been repeatedly emphasized by the media because they are role models and public figures. Their every move has a huge impact. Only by assuming the corresponding responsibilities can they be considered as role models. The real superstar. Tom Hanks, George Clooney and others are examples of them, and they are called Hollywood representatives.

This is the reality of society. As "Spider-Man" said, "As much as the ability is, the responsibility is as great", and the corresponding position must bear the corresponding responsibility. A beggar who is selfish and selfish may not have an impact on society; but if a government official is selfish, the impact on society will be infinite and far-reaching. This is the reason.

Michael sighed, "So I chose to reconcile, this is the best choice for me, because I really can't continue to insist; at the same time, it is also the best choice for everyone around me, and it is the best choice for those chattering crows. Good choice, I don’t want them to continue discussing this topic."

Hugo is truly silent this time. He can feel the weight of this topic, but this is also the most important lesson he has learned since entering Hollywood. Humans have never been absolutely free. Real freedom should be bound by a certain framework. Below. But Hugo still feels unwilling to do so. Should Chandler and his son be allowed to succeed like this? Is it so that Chandler and his son get something for nothing? Is it so that Chandler and his son get away with it?

Michael seemed to be able to feel the heaviness in Hugo's breath, but at this time he was relieved a lot, and smiled softly, "Hugo, do you know? You have worked hard enough, and you have done a lot of good things for me." . Chandler called last night to proactively express his willingness to reconcile. He obviously hesitated and was afraid. I think your threat to him in the media really worked. Then what happened with Anmitol really made him feel better. He was in a mess."

This surprised Hugo. He originally thought that Chandler and his son would not stop until they reached their goals, so they would never bow their heads. And Hugo also remembers that in history, Michael used 22 million US dollars to reach a settlement. It can be seen from this that Chandler and his son are cobras that bite their prey and never let go.

"Tomorrow our lawyers will meet, I think, maybe this time the out-of-court settlement will be smoother than expected." Michael still has the energy to smile, which surprised Hugo, even if he was on the phone, Hugo could feel it. Get the relief and ease in Michael's tone.

"What about after the reconciliation? Is this the result? You know, if you choose to reconcile, then the reporter will definitely think you have a ghost in your heart and admit the facts of this crime." Hugo was persuaded by Michael, and he knew maybe Reconciliation is the best choice, because this is a dead end, especially Jordan Chandler’s testimony as a minor is decisive, but Hugo still feels unwilling. This is him. He is always unwilling to give up and insists. To the last moment.

Michael can hear the never-giving up stubbornness in Hugo’s words, which makes his mouth outline a curve, "Hugo, do you know? If it was before this call, I would compromise if I wanted to compromise, maybe I I would choose to disappear for a few months, take a good rest, and then wait for the calm and waves to concentrate on my music work; but now, I don’t think so."

Michael’s words gave Hugo a little hope again, like the leaking sunlight behind a dark cloud, thin but brilliant, "You know, taking a step back does not mean giving up, maybe it’s just a temporary compromise, and then continue with enough strength. , And then give a strong counterattack. I think I’m just taking a step back now. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is ready to continue my strength, and then let those media who want to see my jokes fall through their glasses, as if you have been doing it all the time. The same.

Michael smiled and said lightly that at this time his inner shackles could finally loosen a little bit, so that the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Have you forgotten? When everyone is laughing at you for taking the'Seattle Night' When you’re not sleeping, you didn’t stand up to fight back. Instead, you let the media slap yourself with your outstanding performance after the movie was released; now, almost everyone thinks that you chose the movie called “Pulp Fiction”. Wrong, you are still in no hurry, because you know that facts are always more powerful than words. So, I think I should learn from you."

Hugo listened to Michael's words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth began to bloom little by little. Could it be that he really changed history? Has his little butterfly really changed the course of history with a weak force?

Listen, Michael’s weak but determined voice rang in his ears, "They want to see my jokes, but I! Absolutely! No! Allow!"
