Chapter 518 Devil's Contract
Harry has always believed that Anson is not normal.
It’s not because he is an amateur or because he is a rookie, but because Anson always plays his cards out of the ordinary. No one can understand Anson’s brain circuitry. If you don’t pay attention, you may be sucked into Anson’s whirlpool. inside.
So, even if you are embarrassed in front of Anson, there is nothing to be ashamed of... right?
Breaking deeply, taking another deep breath, Harry barely controlled himself.
"Why?"
"Why do you need to trade with me?"
Harry tried to take the initiative and refused to follow Anson's rules of the game. He thought Anson would not answer directly, but would The problem came back, but he never expected that Anson would break the routine again.
“Because I plan to use you to deal with other paparazzi.”
Actually...really answered——
But, is this answer really okay?
Harry's head was full of black lines, "Are you treating me as a tool in an open and honest manner?"
"Yes." Anson said with a smile on his face.
Harry: ...
Anson, "If you want to curse, you can."
The foul language was already on his lips, but Harry still swallowed it hard. Looking at Anson's eyes, he just didn't want to obey.
Anson, "Instead of talking about those high-sounding words, it is better to be more calm. You use me, I use you, and we use each other. Isn't it good? Sometimes, the interests are naked on the table, Is the matter simpler, or do you prefer me to stab you in the back?"
Harry glanced at Anson depressedly -
He said all the good and bad by himself. What else can be done? He was willing to stab him in the back secretly, but he didn't have the confidence to plot against Anson.
So, what to do?
Thoughts are spinning at high speed in the brain, and the memory has been fully activated.
Harry was not able to refuse the temptation after all, "Why don't you tell me and let's make a deal."
Anson did not push back and went straight to the point, "I need to leave Los Angeles for a while. I hope you can create the illusion that I'm still in Sound City, and as long as other paparazzi and the media don't discover my whereabouts, you'll have accomplished your mission."
In short, smoke bombs.
Harry: ...Huh?
The question marks were almost overflowing, and Harry finally picked the most critical one, "So what's my gain?"
Anson started to crack his fingers.
“First, you know where I am going.”
“Second, you can play with the entire Hollywood media.”
“Third, in order to ensure authenticity , my agent will give you some exclusive photos to make sure people’s eyes stay on TMZ.”
"Lastly, and most importantly, wait until this is all over and TMZ allows you to have an exclusive report and you can reveal the entire magic of bringing people to life."
"Wow."
" To be honest, I think it's a good deal."
Harry crossed his arms over his chest in a defensive posture -
He knew it was a good deal, far better than he could have imagined. It’s even so cost-effective that it doesn’t feel real.
But precisely because of this, Harry became more and more vigilant:
There are no traps falling from the sky.
“But, why?”
Actually, the reason is not complicated.
Anson can disappear quietly, but this time it should be very difficult.
He could sneak around overnight and drive out of Los Angeles for Portland, but the paparazzi would probably notice his disappearance within a few hours, causing another uproar——
Lili No matter how far you dig, the paparazzi will definitely look for him with great fanfare.
Although this is not the era of social networks, and there is no need to worry about smartphones that may appear anytime and anywhere; if the paparazzi make such a big noise, I am afraid it will become the focus of tabloids and trigger discussions. By then, even if Anson is hiding in the suburbs of Portland, he may not be safe.
It is one thing for Anson's whereabouts to be exposed; it is another thing for the filming of "Elephant" to be interfered with, and it is also the last thing Anson wants to see. situation.
Therefore, the best way is not for him to disappear secretly, but to seize the opportunity of TMZ and let Harry and Edgar cooperate to create an illusion-
Hide the truth.
Things suddenly became interesting.
TMZ, according to Anson’s memory, did not appear in its previous life until 2005. It rose to prominence because of its continuous breaking of heavy rumors and their confirmation, and it became an authority in the gossip media in just a few years.
And now, because of Anson, this little butterfly, TMZ debuted three years earlier, and it was created by a face I know.
History is really an interesting thing.
In Anson’s view, the difference between paparazzi and reporters is getting smaller and smaller in the Internet wave. They are all involved in the storm of entertainment to death and the ocean of fake news. The so-called professionalism and Positions have long since been redefined.
So, Anson has no burden and no need to refuse cooperation with the paparazzi.
To put it simply, everyone gets what he needs.
The paparazzi needs a steady stream of exclusivity, while Anson needs to get rid of distractions for a period of time and devote himself wholeheartedly to the shooting of his works.
However, this time, Anson was not prepared to answer Harry -
He was not a good boy to begin with.
"Because I want to do this."
Throwing out a dignified sentence, Harry was killed by surprise.
A smile appeared in Ansen's eyes, and he unhurriedly launched his trump card.
"TMZ, this is the website you built, right?"
"You need traffic and exclusivity now. If I disappear quietly and leave..."
Harry countered, "The whole The paparazzi in Los Angeles will take action."
Anson nodded slightly, "Yes, it is true, but whether they can find me or not, there is no chance of TMZ's exclusive."
Harry: ...Grass.
There was a smile in Anson's eyes, "So, if you cooperate with the performance, you will not only get a series of news updates, but also a big exclusive."
Although Anson was smiling, Harry felt that Like prey, he is stepping into a trap step by step.
Harry tried to stay awake, "What about you? What can you get from this deal?"
A clean shooting location, an undisturbed shooting schedule, and a "Elephant".
But Anson was not prepared to answer, "Everyone gets what he needs. What you get is what you need, and what I get is what I need. There is no need to ask in detail."
Harry was not fooled, "What if the exclusive you are hiding is far beyond imagination?"
"Ha." Anson laughed heartily, "Then you can only block it, right?" ?”
Harry was about to speak, but Anson shook his head, “No more questions allowed”
“Tick-tock, time is limited”
“Now. It depends on whether you are willing to sign a contract with the devil.”
As he said that, Anson was already retreating.
Harry's inner tug of war began. Angels and devils were pulling at each other's shoulders. Should he believe Anson? Or should he just agree on the surface, stab Anson in the back, and secretly explore the real exclusive?
You never tire of deceit, right?
However, just as his thoughts emerged, Harry noticed Anson's eyes, which fell on him with a half-smile. He could see through his thoughts at a glance. The feeling of nakedness made Harry tremble. Got a thrill.
Thinking of this, Harry already had an idea——
"Okay."
As soon as the words came out, regret and excitement, excitement and anxiety surged at the same time. Is this what it feels like to make a deal with the devil?
