857 Overwhelming
The 54th edition of the Grammy Awards has come to an end, and there is no doubt that Adele has become the biggest winner, becoming the representative of the new generation of singers overnight, and Lan Li has become the biggest beneficiary.
Not just three gramophone trophies, "Don Quixote" has skyrocketed album sales and singles, with a series of incredible successes, the Billboard charts are just one of the most well-known, and the discussion of folk songs has picked up on online forums, and there is even a whole new group of young fans.
What's more, in music cities led by New York, Nashville, and Memphis, the proportion of folk songs in bar performances has shown a blowout rise.
It is impossible to rely on the power of Lan Li alone to try to reverse the decline of the entire industry, and the Grammys and testimonials have sown seeds throughout the North American continent, quietly waiting to take root.
It's all the rage, it's bustling, it's all over, and there's a lot more to come, and that's awards season! The Grammy craze hasn't had time to fully settle down, but all the entertainment reporters are getting busy again.
This week, the Screen Actors Guild Awards will be held at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which is also one of the most important weather vanes before the Oscars, and can provide an important basis for judging the trend of the awards in the four categories of Best Picture and Actor.
In the midst of this hectic and noisy scene, Entertainment Weekly quietly dropped another bombshell, and Cornell McGregor wrote a feature story that was four pages long, and the thriller headline made a strong announcement of their existence:
"Ranley-Hall: The man who deceived the whole world!"
"At the moment in 2012, the name Lanli-Hall has become a phenomenon: the vivid and vivid image of art, creation, dreams, freedom, and self-persistence not only represents the American dream, but also represents the artistic dream, embodies every artist's pursuit of a balance between business and art, and also embodies the longing of every ordinary person for their dreams.
In just one month, the Gen Y leader has repeatedly performed miracles:
The Silver Bear for Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, and three Grammy trophies. In addition, "One Man's Concert" was staged at Madison Square Garden and was sold to a full house, "Don Quixote" entered the public eye and sales exploded, as well as "Love is Crazy" and "I Fight Cancer", and the North American box office of two consecutive works exceeded 100 million.
Is there anyone who can match him? Is there anyone who hasn't heard of the name?
Obviously, no. This man represents gentlemanliness and grace, art and profession, as well as the future and dreams. However, hidden under this skin, it is a big lie, a shocking deception. He deceived the whole world. He was another little Frank-illiam-Abagnale-Jr. ”
Frank William Abanel Jr., the youngest wanted criminal in FBI history, later adapted his personal story into the film "Get Away with Punishment," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. To put it simply: he's the most handsome fraudster of all time.
At the beginning of the article, Cornell listed the brilliant achievements of Lan Li in the past period of time, and listed the praise and affirmation of the media, but then a twist and turn was to nail Lan Li to the pillar of shame in a horrific way, using Franco Abana as a category, simple but effective, and directly put Lan Li into the character image.
"Hype", this is Cornell's accusation, he condemned Lan Li for malicious hype, self-packaging with a series of means, creating an image that the public longs to see, and has achieved a series of incredible successes, and even for the sake of hype. Cornell wrote this article to uncover the truth of the matter.
The entry point of the article is "a one-man concert".
Cornell once again raised doubts and criticisms of the concert, choosing such a sensitive and special time to hold the concert, which is already suspicious, and what is even crazier is that in just four days, it is almost impossible to book a top venue like Madison Square Garden in the top of the top venues, if it is not planned half a year or even a year in advance.
The New York Times mentions Heather Cross, and Cornell also conducted a detailed investigation.
Before the concert, Lan Li and Heather did not have any intersection at all, and there was not a trace of any trace on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, showing that the two were once friends, and even more so, Lan Li could not even find a connection with Mount Sinai Hospital.
It's a great opportunity for a public figure to dedicate himself to philanthropy, but for the past three years, nothing has come out of Lan Li, who is volunteering at Mount Sinai Hospital. This is absolutely abnormal.
"After going through 'Fast & Furious 5' and 'Love Goes Crazy', how could no one recognize Eli Lanlone? These are Cornell's exact words, not only questioning Heather, but even the matter related to Mount Sinai Hospital, and the arrow pointed directly at the "New York Times".
Subsequently, Cornell put forward a "hypothesis", assuming that the "one-man concert" was indeed held for Heather, and this concert did have special significance.
This assumption is valid. In real life, not only artists, but also every charity participant, everyone has their own life, they can't always stick to those in need, more often, it is these objects who send out distress signals, and charity participants take the initiative to help more people as much as they can.
So, Cornell believes that Lan Li and Heather never knew each other, but after learning about Heather's situation and crisis, he agreed to the concert request and realized Heather's dream. It makes sense. But the problem is that -
Heather Cross was officially buried on Monday, February 20, Eastern Coast time. But the helpful protagonist, Lance Hall, stays in Los Angeles and goes to Universal Studios with two children. Not only did he not attend the funeral, but he even reveled in a wanton party. So, does the connection between Lan Li and Heather really exist?"
Cornell pointed out that if the relationship between Lan Li and Heather was really so close, with Lan Li's personality, he would never miss the funeral. After all, in March last year, Lan Li was even absent from the Oscars because of his health, not to mention the Grammys who were just crossover tickets?
Immediately afterward, Cornell said that the absence of the funeral was not a heinous action. But the problem is that the "one-man concert" is full of loopholes and is simply untenable, and there are many lies about Heather, about Mount Sinai Hospital, and about the concert. Now, it's time to ask: Why? Why lie?
There are countless similar charity activities in the entertainment industry, where artists go to the hospital to visit seriously ill children, bring warmth and fulfill wishes. Later, when the child dies, there is no need for the artist to attend the funeral at all, only to express condolences on Twitter or Facebook, which is enough.
However, Lan Li chose a huge concert. Why?
Cornell didn't answer, but again listed a series of statistics, "After the concert, the Grammys, Album of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Best Alternative Album, Billboard Album Chart, 'Don Quixote' No. 1, Billboard Singles Chart, No. 4 on 'The Beast'." Next, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and ...... Oscar. ”
Without superfluous explanations, readers can make associations on their own: malicious hype, college PR.
Later, Cornell added two more details:
First, Lan Li chose Anne and Alex as the Grammys' red carpet partners, and before that, Lan Li had never chosen a partner on the red carpet, and the two children were also confirmed to be patients at Mount Sinai Hospital. replaced Heather and became the best shield for non-existent "charity activities".
Second, on the night of Heather Cross's death, Lan Li participated in two public relations events. One is Woody Allen and one is Scott Rudding and Brad Pitt.
Organized, layered, and stripped away, Cornell's report can be said to have come prepared, building on the New York Times and his previous article, further developing the ins and outs of the matter. Present the "truth" in front of every reader, and moreover, cover everything.
But that's not the end of it.
In the second half of the article, Cornell once again listed the incidents in the past year that Lan Li was suspected of maliciously hyping and creating an image.
The negotiation of the sequel to "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" began with Lan Li asking for a higher salary, and ended with Lan Li choosing Warner Bros. works, while the preparation for the sequel to "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" was temporarily put on hold, and there has been no next move until now.
The Oscar absence event began with the promotion of "I Fight Cancer", and ended with the academy expressing magnanimity and fans expressing admiration and understanding, and the North American box office of "Fighting Cancer" also successfully exceeded 100 million.
"I Fight Cancer" premiere event. It started as a small-budget work that did not hold a grand premiere, but at the end, it achieved a warm interaction between Lan Li and fans, and the movie also achieved a brilliant box office.
The Natalie Portman incident began with the scandal between Lan Li and Natalie, and ended with Natalie winning the Oscar, but she was still haunted by the media, while Lan Li made a name for herself.
Finally, Cornell asks a question, or hypothesis.
Since the "Pacific War", the discussion about the background of Lan Li Hall's net worth has not been interrupted, but the truth has never been found. Is this a coincidence, or is it an arrangement?
If Lan Li is really an ordinary family with no name, then why did he refuse to make it public? And the development trajectory in the past two years has been so smooth, almost all the way, without seeing too much effort, without seeing too many twists and turns, and reaching the top in one go?
"No one should forget that he just turned 22 last November. ”
Short, powerful, and meaningful in the epilogue, Cornell brought this informative report to a perfect conclusion. Then, wait for it to explode.
