After "The Tonight Show", people began to watch Tom's performance in "Killing with a Knife" one after another, and I believe that when people enter the cinema again, everyone will come to their own opinion, and the fermentation of time will give the real answer, which is the time of test.

The "Murder by the Knife" crew was in full swing in New York, and at the same time, the "Ocean's Twelve" crew naturally didn't sit idly by, and they launched a huge publicity campaign in Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston and other cities on the West Coast, and with excellent results - even if people didn't have any interest in the movie, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Catherine Zeta-Jones publicity lineup was enough to attract people's attention.

Just in terms of momentum, the star-studded crew of "Ocean's Twelve" easily killed "killing with a knife" in seconds, even Tom Cruise is invincible with two fists and four hands, and the publicity of "Ocean's Twelve" is becoming more and more sensational, first a grand fan meeting was held in Charlotte, and nearly 3,000 fans came to guide the city traffic jam; Later, a small movie viewing party was held in San Francisco, where 250 fans watched the movie with the star cast and had intimate contact; When Chicago recorded the "Oprah talk show", more than 10,000 viewers applied to watch it, and finally 800 were selected to enter the scene, recording the largest episode in the history of the program in the 21st century......

Not only newspapers and magazines, but also radio, television, and streets and alleys can see the figure of the "Twelve Arhats".

However, the balance was soon broken, and the "National Inquirer" broke the news that during the "Ocean's Twelve" promotion, Brad and Angelina had a private meeting in Reno, and the two spent three days and two nights alone in Reno.

Before Las Vegas became a world-famous casino, Reno was the most famous casino. Although most people now head to Las Vegas, Reno's casinos are still the first choice for many American locals, and Reno's relatively quiet environment and beautiful scenery make it a good place to vacation.

In the report, they gave a specific itinerary with reasonable evidence, when "Ocean's Twelve" arrived in San Francisco to hold a fan viewing party, "Alexander the Great" had just finished the promotion of Las Vegas, but Angelina did not leave with the crew, but stayed in the casino, and took advantage of the free time, the two of them drove to Reno to meet, avoiding all eyeliner and relieving the pain of lovesickness.

It was a seamless plan, but it was ruined by a local tourist in Reno, who happened to meet Brad and took a photo with Brad and posted it on his personal blog; Only a few hours later, Angelina was photographed appearing in the casino, which was originally thought to be Las Vegas, but after careful analysis, it was found to be Reno's casino. So, after piecing together the evidence, this conclusion was reached.

The National Inquirer concluded the story by emphasizing that "Reno, a casino full of history, a city of divorces." ”

Corresponding to Las Vegas, where you can get married anytime and anywhere, Reno is a famous divorce city in the United States. At the beginning of the twentieth century, divorce was considered an unhonorable affair, and few people talked about or thought about it, but in 1908 Reno passed a famous "exempt divorce" bill, which meant that both parties to a marriage could file for divorce if they had lived in Reno for a certain period of time and paid a fee. The act attracted thousands of couples from other states in the United States at the time to go through divorce proceedings.

Divorce has even become a pillar industry of Reno for a long time.

After the news of the "National Inquirer" broke the news, it immediately set off an uproar, especially the propaganda of the "12 Arhats" was so great that the speed of news fermentation was completely out of control.

Not only because Brad and Angelina have a private meeting on the cusp, like estrus animals who can't control their hormones; also because they chose Reno, the city of divorce, which instantly crushed Brad's image of a good man who "tried to save his marriage" some time ago.

Public opinion smashed down like a tsunami almost overnight, smashing the crew of "Twelve Arhats" in a daze, and there was no time to think deeply about what happened, so we could only clarify it as soon as possible.

The crew of "Ocean's Twelve" all stood up to testify for Brad, and Brad had been with the crew that night, and after drinking with George, Matt, and others, he went back to his hotel room to rest for a while, and then he got together with the crew to play cards, and went back to bed at early eleven o'clock - not only the testimony, but the details of the night were described; And that photo was taken by Brad and fans two days ago, when the crew was passing by Reno, and the date didn't match at all.

Angelina also clarified that she was in Las Vegas that night, and she could even testify with the dealer at the Venetian Hotel to prove that she had been in the casino that night and went back to her room after midnight. Naturally, it was absolutely impossible for her to go to Reno.

The testimony of both sides immediately refuted the "State Enquirer", and most importantly, the "State Enquirer" only had circumstantial evidence, not direct evidence. As a well-known supermarket gossip tabloid, the news of the "National Enquirer" has always been inaccurate, and only one or two points out of ten can be believed, and the rest is either water or fabrication, which seems to be under the direct evidence of both Brad and Angelina, which is not worth believing at all.

But the power of scandals and rumors is not a mathematical formula, and by substituting numbers into the correct part of the formula, you can get the answer, and you can't go wrong. When people mention rumors, everything can't be chasing after the wind, and it will definitely not be groundless, if there are no horses, how can they be caught?

What's more, Brad and Angelina's "derailment door" was admitted by both parties, and now it has only been more than three months, and such a thing has happened again, saying that the two people are completely innocent, and absolutely no one believes it. Even if the police surveillance footage evidence could prove the innocence of the two men, which is absolutely impossible, people will say, not Reno, it could be somewhere else, some other day...... It couldn't have happened at nothing anyway.

This is the power of rumors, not to say that the parties cannot prove their innocence through legal means, the problem is that even with the assistance of ironclad evidence, rumors cannot be stopped, "all over the mouth is not clear", which is probably what it means.

After the incident, the propaganda itinerary of "Ocean's Twelve" had to be sent on the string, and Brad could not avoid it - otherwise he would have a weak heart, so he had to keep a smile and attend every propaganda event. Even if there is no aggressiveness of the reporters, the strange inquiring eyes of the audience have already made Brad uncomfortable, and he has no way to pull everyone to emphasize "I didn't go to Reno tryst", he can only be dumb and eat coptis, not to mention, how can the reporters let go of such a good opportunity, the bombardment almost makes Brad have no respite.

The more lively the propaganda of "Ocean's Twelve", the greater the pressure on the crew, such a double innocence of ice and fire made the crew go up and down, even George, who has always been gentle and elegant, was out of control when facing reporters, "Don't you have any other problems besides the problems of your private life?" If I'm not mistaken, this is not a wet market, but a movie promotion site. ”

Warner Bros. naturally can't be caught with their hands tied, on the one hand, they are mobilizing the media to shift their targets and weaken their influence; On the one hand, they are investigating the people behind the scenes, trying to find the enemies who oppose them; At the same time, they were still debating where to put Brad in the next promotional trip - perhaps, under the pretext that Brad was sick, and let him go home to recuperate, which was an idea worth considering.

However, before Warner Bros. could take further action, at a fan meeting in New York, a paparazzi asked on the spot, "I received an inside message that Jennifer Aniston had sent you the divorce settlement a few weeks ago, refused to interview you, and left everything to a lawyer, is it true?" Although the paparazzi, Dylan Wilde, was quickly forcibly removed from the scene by security guards, the injuries were done.

There were 2,000 people gathered at this fan meeting, 80% of whom were supporters of George and Brad, and they were all sincere fans, and even in the "derailment door", they stood firmly behind Brad. But...... The negative effects were still uncontrollable.

First Reno, then the divorce agreement? This qiē proves that Brad's previous behavior is just an illusion, he and Jennifer have no possibility of getting back together, and it is even very likely that Brad is secretly dating Angelina, and all the public have been deceived!

The crew of "Twelve Arhats" is completely frying, anxious and overwhelmed.

"Who the hell is it? Who the hell is behind it! Which//dog/mother/raiser! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to tear him apart! I'm going to strangle him with both hands! Grass! Grass! Bastard! Brad's love was completely out of control, erupting like a volcano, and George stood by for a moment, then turned away, his temples aching now, and the course of events seemed to be completely out of his control.

The vigorous publicity campaign of "Ocean's Twelve" has become the best platform for gossip dissemination, and has become the hottest topic in December, and the latest progress of "Derailment" after July has ignited all the enthusiasm of the public, sweeping the entire North American continent like a midsummer heat wave.

Seven days slipped away quietly in the boiling news, the box office war in the second week of December officially came to an end, and the box office decline of "Killing with a Knife" and "Ocean's Twelve" in the second week has also been revealed. (To be continued.) )
