859 Ambush on all sides
During this year's awards season, the Weinstein brothers promoted the two works "The Artist" and "The Iron Lady", and launched the college's public relations with great momentum, pointing at the Oscar statuette, and doing everything.
In the battle for the queen of the film, Harvey Weinstein aimed his arrow at Glenn Cross and Viola Davis, the former is nominated for the sixth Oscar, a full 30 years after the first nomination, but has never been able to reach the top, hard work, the latter has solid acting skills, wonderful roles, friendly and friendly, this year's work is highly recognized, and the first half of the awards season is a strong leader.
After the Golden Globes, there were rumors of Glenn's arrogant attitude, refusal of public relations, and high-mindedness, and rumors of "helping" being seriously overcredited and unworthy of the name were also boiling, and even rumored that Viola had a strained relationship with director Tate-Taylor.
In the battle for the actor, Harvey concentrated his firepower on Lan Li. In the past month, the negative press about Lan Li has not stopped, "That twenty-two-year-old young man has played with the whole of Hollywood!" has become the most widely circulated anecdote in the industry - in a mocking way.
During the Berlin Film Festival, rumors began to leak out one after another, and the news media keenly smelled the anomaly. Legend has it that all the "fans" were hired by Lan Li out of his own pocket to increase his popularity and make headlines, but also to clearly target the college's public relations.
Do these messages sound familiar?
Cornell McGregor clearly shares the same sentiment as Harvey Weinstein, or further, the two are the same thing.
Those behind-the-scenes interactions and involvement are probably only known to the parties concerned, but at least it is certain that after the release of the special report of "Entertainment Weekly", Harvey is bound to fan the flames and fuel the flames behind the scenes, just look at the spread of the report.
In the past three weeks, the relevant news has not completely exploded, nor has it completely disappeared, it has been fermenting slowly, and then, with the special report of "Entertainment Weekly", overnight, the relevant reports have completely exploded, and it seems that the news in the circle has finally found an outlet, so it is pouring down.
"Entertainment Weekly" was just the beginning, and Cornell only lit the fuse.
The first to bear the brunt is the "Rolling Stones". The magazine, once the best-selling professional music magazine in the United States, has gradually transformed into a comprehensive entertainment magazine. Their attitude towards Lanli has always been the same: they don't buy it. Whether it's music or movies, it's never pretentious. This time, naturally, they won't miss it either.
"Rolling Stone" magazine said conclusively that "one-man concert" was born purely for hype. Not only to make money, not only for album sales, or even just for the Grammys, but more importantly, to establish his strong influence in folk songs and create an image of an "artist".
In the article, they even questioned: Why did the 54th Grammy choose this year's reform? Why did it choose this year's award ballad? Why did it choose "Don Quixote"? Especially the Album of the Year award, shouldn't it be "21" to win?
Although it was not explicitly stated, both inside and outside the words accused the Grammys of being unfair and suspected of shady.
This is followed by authoritative media outlets such as USA Today, The Houston Post, The New York Post, and The San Francisco Chronicle, all of which have similar commonalities, as a whole, serious news, but entertainment as an important component. At least compared to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and so on, their entertainment news occupies a larger page.
It's overwhelming, it's really overwhelming. The pent-up energy, brewing emotions, and hidden weapons of the previous three weeks were announced to erupt in a bustle in just 24 hours, like a nuclear weapon, swept through the withering and decaying, almost not giving the public and netizens any respite, in an earth-shattering way, with the speed of electric light, before people could react, the coffin was closed.
For most people, reading the news is guided.
For example, people in the middle of the United States, they don't read the "Los Angeles Times", and even the "New York Times" is abandoned, they focus on the central region's own newspapers and magazines, and the whole coverage tends to be more conservative.
For example, people in New York read reports from different news sources and try to look at the same news from different angles and levels. But at the end of the day, their deep trust in the New York Times is irreplaceable.
From reading the news, to understanding the situation, to making judgments and standing firm, this is a process that needs to be precipitated and transformed. However, for the majority of the public, they choose to trust authority by reading only one newspaper, and only a small part of the population is willing to try to read different newspapers and change their perspective.
However, this time, the news is really unimaginable with the speed of spreading, the speed of conclusion, and the speed of falling. Before a piece of news has had time to digest, another news appears, and then another news appears, which is overwhelming.
In fact, if someone calms down a little, they can find that the amount of news is indeed unparalleled, but over and over again, in the final analysis, it is still the same set of reports in the "Entertainment Weekly". In other words, all news outlets are reporting on the same thing, and the news sources are almost overlapping. This means that the truth has not been revealed at all.
People don't have that opportunity, though. The torrent of information rushed in. There is no room for reflection, no room for delve, no room for respite.
The Yahoo community has become a mess of porridge, and the sound of swearing is everywhere.
"Damn trash!Hypocritical bitch!Shameless bastard!You cheated on everyone!Everyone!"
"I can't believe I actually bought two of your albums. Jesus Christ! You must be all fools, shameless bastards!"
"Self-righteous hypocrite!
"Actually using innocent children, or seriously ill children! And it's still a lost life! Do you have a heart? Black heart!"
"What the hell is a lie? Is the whole album plagiarism? shameless bastard!"
"You've betrayed my trust! You deserve hell!"
"Hypocrisy! Disgusting! A hypocrite who is good for nothing but a skin and is full of lies!"
"Damn trash, you cheated on my emotions! I'm ashamed now! I was deceived! I can't believe what I did! Jesus Christ! Die! You deserve to die!"
……
The sound of swearing flooded the message boards of the entire Yahoo community, and the administrators had to delete those posts that were purely swearing, but such a move not only did not contain the situation, but completely angered the anger and irritability of netizens, and many people began to curse aimlessly, continuously posting and replying to posts, maliciously swiping the screen, and the entire community was fried.
In just 24 hours, with more than 50,000 posts, more than 5 million replies, and more than 80 million hits, the Yahoo community exploded with the largest traffic energy since the turn of the millennium, setting a record high. However, it was not the result of rejoicing.
Netizens who once cheered and celebrated because of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5", netizens who once had heated discussions because of "Buried Alive", "Love Crazy", and "Me Who Fights Cancer", netizens who once talked thoroughly because of "Don Quixote", and netizens who were amazed by Lan Li's actor charm and personal charm......
It seemed that all of them disappeared overnight, and after turning the muzzle of the gun, they all aimed at Lan Li.
The popularity of the Internet age bursts like a bubble, quickly piling up into a small mountain, and in a short time it is all over the eyes, but all it takes is a light breeze for all the bubbles to disappear, revealing a barren ruin hidden within. It's like a mirage, leaving a false name.
The same group of people pushed Lan Li to reach the peak of his career, "Love is Crazy" and "I Fight Cancer" broke 100 million in North America in a row, creating incredible brilliance;
Since the "Pacific War", Lan Li has appeared in front of the public for more than two years, but he still has no foundation to speak of. How surging the past six months had been, and how bad the mess and chaos had now been.
The journey from heaven to heaven took three years, or even a lifetime, but from heaven to hell took only 24 hours. Is this a blessing or a misfortune in the Internet age? There is no way to know, but what is certain is that it is definitely an irreplaceable signature feature of the Internet age.
From the media to the Internet, from journalists to netizens. The chain reaction triggered by the "Entertainment Weekly" article exploded in a mighty way, and it undoubtedly became the most important news of this year's awards season, and the powerful momentum was like three tornadoes passing through at the same time, shaking the ground and shattering the earth, leaving only a mess.
William Taylor looked at the Yahoo community in disbelief, one scolding post after another, and the foul language after another, stinging his eyes.
What's going on? What's going on here? What's going on here in such a short period of time?
It's just a special report from "Entertainment Weekly", it's just a series of unconfirmed news series, how can it have such a big influence? Without any verification, no one asks any of the people involved in the article, let alone Lan Li's response and attitude, and now everyone can't wait to make up their minds?
No, it's not just the coffin that is conclusive, they have even begun to settle down and clear up the relationship!
What's the matter? Are these hateful-looking, hideous-looking, angry, and irrational netizens the friendly supporters he is familiar with?
