860 Total Fall
William Taylor only felt that his head had become a mess of mush, and he couldn't think at all:
Just a few days ago, they were watching the live Grammys on the TV, and the Yahoo community was buzzing with applause, exclamations, and emotion, especially when they gave their Album of the Year acceptance speech. The popularity of the song "Beast" comes from the Yahoo community!
But how did things suddenly develop to this point? The situation suddenly changed and I was caught off guard.
It's just a piece of slanderous articles, why can it spark so much discussion? Why can it win so much trust? Don't they know Lan Li? Didn't they accompany Lan Li all the way? Didn't they listen carefully to the album "Don Quixote"?
"Hell God, what's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"
William's hands tapped quickly on the keyboard, mixed emotions rampaging through his chest, dull and faintly aching, angry and more disappointed, deeply disappointed.
"Is this the first day you have met Lan Li?" The focus of 'Pacific War', the madness of 'Buried Alive', the strength of 'Speed and Excitement 5', the delicacy of 'Love Crazy', and the truth of 'Me Fighting Cancer'. Every role, every performance, every performance, the characters and performances presented by Lan Li, have you all forgotten?
I'm not talking about the avatars created on the big screen, but the hard work, struggle, perseverance, and talent hidden behind the characters. It's not about a bad boy like Sean Penn who beats people up again, or a prodigal son like Robert Downey Jr., who has relapsed again. Now everyone is condemning Lan Li Hall, condemning his malicious hype!
Malicious hype? This is simply the most ridiculous joke of the millennium.
Have you ever seen any lace news? Have you ever seen a scandal that goes along with the promotion of the film? Have you ever seen frequent exposure during the publicity period? Have you seen countless shoots before the movie is released? Have you ever seen any news moves by Lan Li outside of the official publicity campaign?
No! No!
From the beginning to the end, Lanli has never been involved in any form of hype. He just threw himself into the show in obscurity, like Daniel Day Lewis. Is he an artist? Everyone has their own opinion, but is he an actor?
Don't you realize that you're losing your mind? It's just the ridiculous speculations and speculations of Entertainment Weekly? It's just the far-fetched speculation without any evidence? And then, you have selectively forgotten the bits and pieces of the past two years and easily believed in Entertainment Weekly?
Jesus Christ, that's Entertainment Weekly! Not the New York Times!
At least, you can wait for Lan Li to speak out; at least, you can wait for the person involved in the incident to speak out; at least, you can wait for other authoritative media to give evidence! At least, you can show a little patience and trust, this is Lan Li, this is the young master! Not a casual star, this is the actor we are familiar with!"
The fierce and turbulent words were constantly hammered out, but the anger stirring in the chest not only did not vent and dissipate, but became more and more turbulent and boiling. William still couldn't believe his eyes: why, overnight, all his supporters seemed to defect?
At the premiere of "Fighting Cancer" at Lincoln Center, the boiling and noisy images of the audience are still vivid, and in the "One Man Concert", the tearful and touching afterglow of all the audience is still hovering in their hearts. But, what the hell is going on now? I don't have any patience, I don't have any trust at all.
In an instant, it seemed that the whole world was on the opposite side of Lan Li. William only felt his eyes involuntarily start to heat up.
Hope Baez clenched her teeth and raised her chin stubbornly and strongly, convinced that her innocence would come back sooner or later. Not because she doesn't believe in "Entertainment Weekly", but because she believes in Lan Li. Any accusation could be true, but if it were, Hope had never seen such clumsy and stupid hype!
It's like Keanu Reeves, who has always kept a low profile. has also been accused by the media before, in fact, his "low-key homeless man" image is just a hype gimmick, and he really created his own image of being tall and alienated, which attracted the support of a large number of fans.
If it weren't for the media pestering, Keanu wouldn't have been in the newspapers, and if it weren't for the malicious hype of the news, Keanu's life in New York would have been completely uneventful. It is precisely those media who are unwilling to let go of the "gimmick", "hype" and "breaking point", maliciously concoct negative news, and even accuse Keanu of hype?
Now, the same routine is being used on Lan Li again.
Could it be that "Entertainment Weekly" forgot that if it weren't for Cornell, "One Man's Concert" would not have any publicity at all. All the fans were tight-lipped, even Hope himself, who was not able to know the news at the first time, and later learned through "Entertainment Weekly", Hope also blamed William for not revealing any news.
If this is hype, then this should also be the hype of Entertainment Weekly's alliance with Blue Lane. However, "Entertainment Weekly" did not mention it at all in the report, and then poured buckets of dirty water on Lan Li. At the end of the day, there's no difference from last week's feature story or last year's Seattle story.
The media hyped it, but let Lan Li take the blame.
With such a method, Hope is already surprised.
However, forbearance and repression still failed to control their emotions after all, and tears continued to slide down. Hope is angry, she's angry at Cornell McGregor's reversal of right and wrong, she's angry at the media who follow the media for standing by, but what she's really angry about is the fans and the fans who have fallen into the hole.
She doesn't expect everyone to understand and support Lan Li, and she doesn't even expect people to wait for Lan Li to issue an official response, but at least, she hopes that people can wait for other media to verify and further report the facts. However, she was disappointed, and everyone couldn't wait to clear up the relationship, eager to immediately kill Lan Li herself, just hoping to express her anger.
However, it should be Lan Li who is really angry.
Tears, endured and endured, but after all, I still couldn't hold it back. Looking at the Yahoo community's swearing and foul language, Hope seemed to see the world that had been painstakingly forged by Lan Li in the past three years collapsed. The scene was so spectacular that my heart began to throb.
When "Fast & Furious 5" was a box office success, they were happy that Lan Li had made a breakthrough in business, when "Love is Crazy" and "I Fight Cancer" achieved incredible box office results, they celebrated the further expansion of Lan Li's market appeal, "Don Quixote" was recognized, "Pioneer Village Night" was successfully held, and they listened to Lan Li's voice as an artist; "One Man Concert" They witnessed Lan Li's transformation from an actor to an artist, and her dream from imagination to life.
However, all this is just an illusion. Everything is so vulnerable, like a castle of sand. Bang, a wave, disappeared without a trace.
"Did anyone hear it? Did anyone really hear the young master's heart?
From the album "Don Quixote", to "One Man's Concert", to the three Grammys' acceptance speeches, has anyone really listened to the shouts and roars of the young master attentively, seriously and quietly? It is a dreamer on a thorny road, shouting alone, lonely and lonely, it is an artist's roar of awakening, pain and happiness in the journey of self-breakthrough.
If you really listen to such a soul, you will know that the news, the focus, the accusations are completely false, just another hype of the 'Entertainment Weekly'. It is the media that hype, but it is the young master who is behind it.
You don't see that the young master rejected the Oscar in order to study acting, you don't see that the young master gave up commercial films for the performance of experimental works of art, and you don't see that the young master chose the concert for Don Quixote, who listened quietly. The young master, who has never hyped up, and even tried to avoid news exposure, is now burdened with the accusation of 'malicious hype', which is extremely ridiculous.
In the whole of Hollywood, there are countless actors who are maliciously hyped and intensively exposed, and no one cares, but who cares about the low-key actor who usually disappears from the news, and occasionally breaks out into a hot news?
This is the real society. Just like the bizarre and absurd society described in '1984'.
The young master is like Don Quixote, struggling to move forward, and all he longs for is a companion on the road of dreams. He thought he had found it, but now it seemed that the so-called 'Don Quixote' were nothing more than fame seekers in sheep's clothing, and when people began to accuse Don Quixote, when they began to laugh at Don Quixote, they all withdrew, and avoided them far away, and began to throw stones at Don Quixote.
Absurd, absurd, absurd.
You should look in the mirror. How hideous, ridiculous, funny, then you will know how terrible you are now. ”
Anger was bubbling and burning, and tears were wiped away and flowed again. Hope didn't want to cry because it made her look too weak, and she needed to be strong because the young master needed her support. But the tears couldn't be stopped.
Sitting quietly in place, Lan Li's lazy and moving voice came from the stereo, and the melody of "Firmly believed" was flowing slowly, so ironic.
"Say something, say something, even if it's 'I love you,' unless you want to turn away from the annoying noise. I don't know if I still believe, I don't know if I still believe, I don't even know if I want to believe what you say to me. ”
