Silent, silent, silent.

Suddenly, the exclusive report of "Entertainment Weekly" shattered all the balance and alarmed all the attention, and in an instant, all eyes were disturbed and gathered towards the "one-man concert".

People aren't stupid, and even if Cornell swears and is so sure, people have their own judgment, and the whole incident really has a lot of holes:

Why hadn't I heard about the concert before? Why didn't the concert have any publicity at all? Why didn't there be an online ticketing system? Why didn't the news media report it at all? Why did the first report accuse Lan Li of hype, but there was no news before? Why did you choose this point in time, for the Grammys, it was too late, for the Oscars, it was not related? Why is the concert so close?

Why.

It is precisely because of the inexplicability, the self-contradiction, and the lack of warning that the news of the "Entertainment Weekly" has completely exploded, almost sparking a prairie fire, and in just a few hours, a monstrous discussion has been triggered on the Internet, with supporters, opponents, and onlookers.

The day this report was published happened to be the annual Valentine's Day. Unexpectedly, all the style of Valentine's Day was lost, and all the attention was shifted to the "one-man concert", and even couples inevitably joined the discussion when they were dating.

Fox TV accurately grasped the hot spot, and in the live interview on the streets of New York on the afternoon of Valentine's Day, the question was asked, "Will you choose Lan Li-Hall's 'one-man concert' for this Valentine's Day special event?"

The speed of fermentation of the topic is far beyond imagination, and "Entertainment Weekly" has almost taken advantage of the right time and place, pushing the news hotspot to an unsurpassable peak - at least before the "New York Times" entered the battle, this was the highest peak, with the coverage of the largest newspaper in the United States, the news popularity once again broke through the limit and reached a new high.

Everything happened so fast that even the uncrowned kings couldn't find a news source for follow-up reporting in the first place. What they can do is to reprint the news of Entertainment Weekly, and then quickly contact the parties involved in the incident to obtain further information, and further, go to New York to communicate and communicate with all the relevant institutions and organizations of the concert to get the latest news about the incident.

But, it takes time.

In a short period of time, "Entertainment Weekly" is still dominant, and this exclusivity has at least earned them more than 30 million clicks, and the peripheral additional benefits are more objective;

Three hours, the exclusive of Entertainment Weekly, lasted for three hours, and in the age of the Internet, in the era of the gossip site TMZ, three hours was almost equivalent to three centuries, and then the New York Times ran a special story.

This feature, written by Bradley Adams, interprets and reports on "One Man's Concert" from a different perspective, presenting a different perspective for the first time after the outbreak of the incident.

"A concert dedicated to someone, an elegy for life hidden behind the glitz.

- An invitation from Lanli-Hall, do you hear me?"

After learning the whole story, Bradley didn't plan to write the news, he respected Lan Li, but also respected the terminally ill girl, and respected the "Don Quixote" album and the meaning behind the concert. For the first time, Bradley stripped himself of being a journalist and put himself in the shoes of a regular listener, looking forward to a concert.

Bradley couldn't help but think back to his first meeting with Lan Li at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. The premiere of "Pacific War", when he was still an unknown newcomer, attracted Bradley's attention, and in a blink of an eye, three years were about to pass, and the teenager had become the leader of Generation Y in the United States, but the original intention hidden under the appearance has never changed.

Heartily, Bradley expressed his admiration.

However, there are always journalists like Cornell. If it weren't for the "Entertainment Weekly" report, no one would have known about the concert news at all, so where would the hype come from? However, Cornell could not see this, and netizens could not see this. So, Bradley stepped up.

Throughout the story, Bradley almost went toe-to-toe with Cornell, firing back with guns and sticks.

In the article, Bradley also explained the ins and outs of the matter - the real story line, from the terminally ill girl, to the friendship between Lan Li and the girl, to the story behind the album "Don Quixote", as well as the fate of the girl and the song "The Beast", and finally to the current situation after the girl fell into a coma, and the agreement of that concert.

The article also mentioned that in order to prepare for the concert, Lan Li had to adjust all his work plans, and because of the suddenness, it was not easy to book a concert venue, so Lan Li chose to pay out of his own pocket. The reason why there is no publicity is because this is a "one-man concert", which has no profit purpose, no publicity purpose, just to fulfill a promise.

In the article, Bradley severely condemned those reporters who distort the facts, maliciously hype, create gimmicks, and concoct explosive points, not only have no professional ethics, but also are driven by entertainment to death and profit first, and even the bottom line of reporters has been lost.

As the No. 1 news media in the United States, the influence and deterrence of the "New York Times" are self-evident, Bradley's news report was published in less than an hour, and the hits exceeded 8 million, and it is growing rapidly in a geometric multiple, forming two completely different views from the exclusive report of "Entertainment Weekly", completely detonating the hot spot.

Do you believe in "Entertainment Weekly" or "New York Times"?

According to common sense, people naturally choose the "New York Times", but the special thing about this incident is that "Entertainment Weekly" grabbed exclusive headlines, preconceived notions, and caused an impact on people's minds.

In particular, Cornell mentioned in the report that this year's awards season is related to the negative controversy about the blue ceremony, which has been popping up here and there, and now it has been further confirmed. Not only last year's "Cancer-Fighting Me", but also the rise of the "Don Quixote" album, as well as the box office of "Love Crazy" and "Cancer-Fighting Me", as well as the absence of the Golden Globes and the attendance at the Berlin Film Festival, all the clues seem to be piecing together the truth.

As a result, on the one hand, there is a collection of fragments of impressions, touching the real shady curtain behind Hollywood, and on the other hand, there is an old-fashioned image of righteous words, perfect is still perfect, and it cannot be broken.

Inadvertently, people always want to challenge for perfection. Therefore, the confrontation between the two points of view began, and on the Internet, there were supporters of both factions, and discussions were carried out vigorously and vigorously, and the topic was in the midst of debate, step by step towards the peak, stealing the limelight of Valentine's Day, stealing the limelight of the Grammys, and even stealing the limelight of the awards season for a time.

Unconsciously, the "one-man concert", from no one knows to everyone knows, it only took less than 12 hours, a 180-degree change, but it is impossible to judge whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

What's more, even though "Don Quixote" has detonated a lot of topics in the past six months, people still position Lan Li as an actor, some people don't like Lan Li's day, evening, and four, some people question Lan Li's lack of business, and some people despise Lan Li's singing skills...... So, is "a one-man concert" a joke, a circus, a feast, a party?

Everyone has their own judgment.

The "Chicago Tribune" began to eat melons unhurriedly and unhurriedly, and ridiculed-

"Madison Square Garden in New York, as a concert destination for countless singers in the United States, has 20,000 seats, which may not seem like much, but it is a top challenge at the moment when the music market is generally sluggish. 'One person concert', no matter how fierce the gimmick is, no matter how hot the attention is, how many people are willing to open their wallets and buy tickets to enter the venue?

Perhaps, Lanli-Hall should have wisely chosen to get in for free. So, at least the homeless are willing to enter the stadium and escape the four-hour East Coast cold spell – by the way, on February 16, when the New York cold wave alert is on, should they choose to stay at home and drink hot cocoa and watch the excitement, or go to a boring party in the cold wind?

We'll see. ”

The ridicule and banter between the words are undoubtedly obvious, but in essence, their point of view can be seen: they are not optimistic.

The Chicago Tribune was not the only media outlet to sing the box office, with more than 80 percent of the media believing that the concert's attendance would be a disaster.

Not only because of the lack of appeal, not only because there were too many seats in the garden, not only because the promotion lasted only four days – two days to be exact – but also because of the cold wave and the fact that Thursday night, which is a weekday, all kinds of conditions are limiting the attendance of the concert.

They are not difficult, but realistic.

However, as The New Yorker put it, "For Ranley Hall, it's just a one-man concert that is a success if that audience member arrives, but if that audience doesn't arrive, even if the audience is full, the concert is a failure."

This reminds us of the theme and core of the album 'Don Quixote': this is a one-man battle, but also a one-man stage. At just 22 years old, Lane Hall is showing people his courage, his persistence, his faith. More importantly, his soul as an artist. ”

As the mouthpiece of New York, The New Yorker has unswervingly expressed its support and recognition for Lan Li, and even pushed Lan Li to a whole new level: artist.

But will this help the concert? No one knows.
