"Hype, which hand is behind the scenes? Malicious hype, which hand is manipulating behind the scenes?"

The next day, USA Weekly ran a feature featuring Gavin Hunter.

The detailed and rich eight-page content, which is full of emotion and immenseness, is a-for-tat confrontation with the feature story written by Entertainment Weekly 48 hours ago, once again pushing the "hypegate" fever to a whole new level, and at the same time dropping an atomic bomb on the entire North American region, just as Nagasaki and Hiroshima did during World War II.

Unlike "Entertainment Weekly", which uses concerts as an entry point, "America Weekly" uses the Toronto Film Festival two years ago as an entry point to unexpectedly restore the Natalie Portman incident that continues to this day.

The first chapter, the Toronto scandal hype incident.

Two years have passed in a hurry, and the original things have gradually settled.

Natalie is still the first actor in Generation Y to win an Oscar; Natalie's love affair with Benjamin Miprede has also surfaced, and the first child of the two has been born, and the accusations and criticisms of the original stand-in have gradually settled down, and it is over; Natalie's career has entered a plateau, and the box office performance of the two works "Thor" and "No Return" is not satisfactory, and there is no new news in art films for the time being.

Now, "America Weekly" revisits the old story, telling in detail the ins and outs of the original scandal - "Entertainment Weekly" and "America Weekly" are the real initiators, but "America Weekly" chose to follow the line of Lan Li, and then witnessed the success of "buried alive";

In other words, Lan Li is not only not the hype behind the scenes, but also the victim of the incident. The so-called malicious hype is nothing more than a college public relations game between the "Black Swan" crew and the "Entertainment Weekly".

The second chapter, Oscar's absence.

The beginning of the incident was that the paparazzi sneaked into the hospital and accidentally discovered Lan Li's health problems, which led to a variety of speculations; after the official response of the "Cancer-Fighting Me" crew and Andy Rogers, "Entertainment Weekly" began to fan the flames, believing that this was a news "pose" incident to promote the movie and sprint for the Oscars, and then Los Angeles reporters sent a "Seattle expedition" to dig out the truth.

As a result, Lan Li set the record straight and was absent from the Oscars for health reasons, as well as the Academy's PR throughout the awards season. However, "Entertainment Weekly" is still unrelenting, and the follow-up can be extended to the premiere of "I Fight Cancer".

As one of the victims, Lan Li shouldered the responsibility of maintaining order at the scene and avoiding the further expansion of the injury. Lauren Mesler, the subject of the incident, was the best witness, and likewise, the other audience members at the premiere that night were also indirect witnesses.

However, "Entertainment Weekly" once again accused Lan Li of malicious hype and reluctance to do anything for the box office of the movie.

The third chapter, the sequel to "Fast and Thrilling/Emotional".

First of all, the salary game is originally a part of Hollywood, and it is understandable to star in commercial movies and pursue higher salaries, not to mention that Lan Li has never pressured the crew in public, trying to use the power of the Internet to increase his salary;

Secondly, after Lan Li announced his withdrawal from the production of the sequel, rumors of disagreement broke out within the crew of "Fast and Thrilling/Love", not only Vin Diesel and Lan Li Hall, to be precise, Vin Diesel stood on the opposite side of all the other actors, and finally Universal Pictures increased the sequel salaries of all actors. It is clear which is right and which is wrong.

Giving up the sequel to "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" and choosing "Edge of Tomorrow" is just a parallel and crossover choice, not a game of actors, but more of a showdown between agents and film companies.

The dust has settled on the incident, but "Entertainment Weekly" has once again stirred up the incident and fanned the flames, not only believing that Lan Li is deliberately hyping up for the sake of salary, but also criticizing "Edge of Tomorrow" and Warner Bros. The news continues to be hot.

Chapter 4, Concert.

In the final analysis, the essence is that neither Lan Li-Hall nor the corporate side of Studio Eleven have made any reports on the "one-man concert", and within the first 48 hours of the website page, the entire network has been quiet and no news has come out.

For a "planned" concert, there were only four days of preparation, no speeding up the pace of publicity, no contacting the media for reporting, and even cooperating with fans to build momentum, allowing 48 hours in vain, completely silent and waiting to see what happened.

The first to report on the concert was precisely "Entertainment Weekly", which kidnapped the concert in the name of malicious hype, concocted explosive points and gimmicks, and created a news frenzy in just a few hours, focusing all eyes on the concert, and causing related negative news later.

At the same time, Entertainment Weekly has achieved a sales frenzy that has rarely been seen in recent years.

……

The special report of "America Weekly" is divided into five chapters, the first four of which list a series of facts in a targeted manner, re-sort out the development context, and restore the truth of the matter.

There is no personal commentary, no superfluous opinions, more in the form of factual citations, and a screenshot of the report of "Entertainment Weekly" at that time is also attached, as if writing a paper, marking the source of the source, adding credibility and persuasiveness.

Give back to others in the way of others. However, Gavin goes one step further and truly submits the evidence, and the picture of the events as they are is presented to the reader in a true and comprehensive way.

Finally, in the fifth chapter, Gavin returns to the person at the center of the maelstrom of events.

"Ranley Hall.

In less than three years, the name has become widely known and popular all over the United States. As a young actor of Generation Y, his ascent is truly terrifying, and he has almost reached the top of the Hollywood pyramid, which is both sideways and confusing. No one can deny that the meteor-like birth has attracted too much attention, and at the same time, it has also caused too much speculation.

But the young actor never lost his sight of moving forward. Since it first appeared on the small screen of 'Pacific War', 'Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5' has been the only commercial film experience, and more often than not, it has been rolled and honed in the field of literary and independent films, from 'buried alive' to 'love is crazy', to 'I am fighting cancer', and finally 'detachment'.

Time and time again, he showed his talent and strength in front of the audience, profoundly interpreted the meaning of 'actor', and after interpreting it to the extreme, he handed it over to the audience for judgment.

There are many people who are popular. The controversy surrounding Lan Li has always continued, but behind every news event, you can see the mastermind behind the silent promotion. It is not Lan Li as a newcomer, nor is it a capable agency, because from the beginning, Lan Li was defined as an actor, not a star.

Pushing events, instigating news, and creating explosive points. It's 'Entertainment Weekly', it's Cornell McGregor, and it's the entire entertainment industry standing behind them, because entertainment is to death, because profit is paramount, objective reason and journalists' ethics are gradually becoming fragmented.

This is a phenomenon of the times, and it is also the sorrow of the times. However, this is not news. In the world of Hollywood, every practitioner has to accept such a challenge, live in the spotlight, and face a lot of disturbing controversies. If that's all, then things don't hurt, it's lively, entertaining, and the turmoil will pass.

The problem now is that the 'Entertainment Weekly' concocted these news, and the relevant media promoted these crazes, and then they stood on the opposite side of Lan Li, stood on the moral high ground, and condescendingly accused Lan Li of 'hype'?

This is perhaps the most magical and ironic news event of the 21st century, the thief shouts to be a thief, the problem is that people still believe the culprit who reverses right and wrong. So, who is behind this?

No one should forget that he was only twenty-two years old, but he gave a performance like 'Love Crazy'. ”

This is perhaps the most serious and incisive feature report published by "American Weekly", and this is perhaps the most profound and comprehensive feature report Gavin has ever written in his career, not only comprehensively analyzing the ins and outs of everything, but also repeatedly emphasizing the key points, consciously or unconsciously-

Entertainment Weekly and Cornell McGregor.

Gavin completely ignored the "one-man concert", did not mention Heather Cross, did not mention the pomp and circumstance of the concert night, and did not even mention Lan Li's positive response at the door of the apartment, but took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, crossed the layers of fog, and pointed the arrow directly at the real mastermind behind the scenes.

This move is very bold and crazy, almost equivalent to giving up defense and choosing to attack with all its might, like a sharp sword, in the disturbing news reports, it forcibly cut a gap and attracted everyone's attention.

In fact, for the past 24 hours, all the news media have focused their attention on Lan Li.

After standing at the door of the apartment for an interview, Lan Li's response and statement were interpreted by major media in different ways and from different angles, once again lighting a fire for the "hype door", putting on a lofty posture to investigate the truth, triggering a new round of discussion.

But now, the situation has become awkward. After the "America Weekly" feature appeared, people turned back to the "Entertainment Weekly" and read the article written by Cornell in less than 20 hours.

Really.

The hypocrite has once again refreshed the bottom line of Hollywood's self-hype. ”

Once again, Cornell used sharp language to launch a powerful attack on Lan Li, but this article is different from the previous one, lacking facts, and almost all of it is Cornell's self-interpretation, with biased views with a strong personal tendency.

And then things got interesting. Could it be that the "American Weekly" feature is the real fact? Could it be that Lenley Hall is also a victim?
