633 Fueling the fire
Even the media colleagues have to admit that the "American Weekly" is excellent, and it ruthlessly pits everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
First of all, Lance is currently single and doesn't even have a regular dating partner, and even if he does get a woman pregnant, there's nothing to make a fuss about; Secondly, this woman is not an artist, just an ordinary waitress, and her news sources have no way to even confirm the authenticity, let alone hype value.
But the cleverness of Us Weekly lies here: timing. The most accurate timing, the most correct method, attracted everyone's attention.
Therefore, even if the media reporters can't cry or laugh, even if they are angry, even if they are empty and powerless, they are now riding the tiger and it is difficult for them to ride the tiger - in the previous wave of topics, they are all accomplices, and they have hyped it up together, and now the topic has reached its peak, and it is the harvest moment, if they give up, they will be fools, they can only push the boat with the current, add fuel to the fire, and push this news event to a new height.
"From a prodigal son to a negative man, the first illegitimate child appeared! Is this a beginning, or an end? ”
"Is it a flower/heart/prodigal/son or a shameless bastard, is it a merry/flow/suave/fu or irresponsible?"
"Triangle? Four corners? And that's not the end - the bastard is here! ”
"Warren Beatty second! How many 'dates' does Lancelot have? ”
"Bastard! But is there really only one? ”
"The rotten private life, the fiery bastard of personality, the true face of Lancelot is gradually being revealed! How many secrets are there that we haven't discovered? ”
……
The Los Angeles Times, led by the Los Angeles Times, had the absolute upper hand, with more than 60 percent of the media reporting on news events with similar views as a starting point.
Timing - "America Weekly" chose the timing of the incident to break the news, which is precisely the moment when Lance is deep in the "woman vortex", Jessica, Kayla, and Angelina are the most reliable speculations at present, waiting for further excavation. The editorial of the New York Times had just turned the tide, and then the illegitimate child incident erupted again, and a second wave of public opinion climax followed, and the "evidence" that reporters had been so desperately seeking appeared in the blink of an eye.
Although Lance is currently single, and although Lance has no regular date, this still does not prevent reporters from directly applying negative words such as "abusive", "irresponsible", "pick up your pants and run", and "chaotic private life" to him; Even from a legal point of view, Lance's approach is beyond reproach, but from a moral standpoint, such behavior is really despicable, especially when words like "playing with emotions" come up, which is a complete jerk.
As a result, public opinion is clearly divided into two factions, the conservative forces led by the defenders have lashed out at Lance, eager to tie him to the cross and burn him, and even the Republican Ohio Rep. John Boehner (John-Boehner) in an interview, all righteously criticized Lance, "This is the beginning of social moral decay, we have always pursued family values, but public figures like him are always deviant, dirty and lewd/ A chaotic private life is simply a stain on society, ignoring the important role of the intact family in maintaining social stability. What's even more terrifying is that he still thinks that this is an act of freedom and liberation, which is simply terrible! ”
Unconsciously, the trend of public opinion has been detached from the incident itself, and has begun to tilt towards the focus of Reims's personal private life behavior, rising to a new height. If this continues, even women's rights groups and conservative religious forces will probably join the discussion, using Lance as a target and strongly condemning the chaos of Vanity Fair, and then things will really get out of hand. The media's ability to fuel the fire and guide speech can be seen!
"Sparrows become phoenixes? The waitress becomes the mother of Lancelot's first child! ”
"One night/love/woe, Lancelot is about to have his first ...... Or maybe it's the nth child. ”
"The father refuses to take responsibility, and the waitress is in an embarrassment!"
"From a cast member to a café waitress, Lancelot's next goal?"
"It's all the wind/the flow, and Lancelot has a tough problem."
"Bastards appeared! Lancelot's dating buddies, you know? ”
……
There are also a lot of media led by the "Daily News", and the focus of their discussion is still relatively decent - closely related to the scandal itself and the news itself, weakening the identity of the waitress, linking her with Jessica, Kayla, Angelina and others, and using Lance as the center to construct this "style/flow/history", which really opens people's eyes and gives a glimpse of Lance's private life.
Although the media has been swept away by "America Weekly", they have always been able to ignore certain focuses and move on to others, thus really hyping up the topic. Among them, "Entertainment Weekly" has the essence of carrying forward this news event, and they actually depicted a picture of the relationship between characters in the latest issue of the magazine.
In the center, of course, Lance is present, and the characters that appear later include Jessica, Kayla, Angelina, and the waitress, in addition to Kate Beckinsale, Eva Green, Alexis Bledel, Lucy Liu, and others, and even more incredibly, Michael Fassbender and Jake Gyllenhaal are actually in this character relationship diagram - implying that they also have a relationship with Lance that goes beyond friendship.
However, the most exciting thing about the character relationship chart of "Entertainment Weekly" is the addition of Scarlett Johansson, which really surprised everyone. But they are not chasing the wind, they took a photo of Scarlett appearing in the crew of "Hard Candy", the article said, "As far as the information we know so far, Scarlett is not a member of the crew, and the reason why she appears in the crew is worth pondering." ”
The subtext is that Scarlett is going to the crew to visit the class. And there are no "friends" that Scarlett knows in the entire "Fruit Hard Candy" crew, so the object and purpose of her visit to the class are self-evident.
After the release of "Entertainment Weekly", it really sparked a lot of speculation from everyone, even if it was not inferior to an illegitimate child, and people began to speculate about the possibility between Lance and Scarlett, and the degree of compatibility between the two.
This report sparked a series of unexpected follow-up chain reactions, and people suddenly discovered that Jessica, Kayla, Angelina and Scarlett and others have very different styles and charms, which also means that Lance's tastes are really diverse, which further confirms the name of "Playboy" and sparks a wide range of discussions.
In the midst of this frenzy, the Chicago Tribune's views were all but drowned out, with their distinctive headline, "Coincidence? Swindle? Or bad luck? ”
In their reporting, they boldly questioned the waitress's testimony. It's not uncommon in Hollywood where every once in a while someone comes forward and claims that they have had a night with a big star, or that their children belong to a big star, and since the fifties of the last century, there are countless - before Marlon Brando's death, he claimed to have nine children, but according to official police records, he had three ex-wives, six suicidal mistresses, and fifteen children. It is rumored in the circle that Malone has a total of twenty-five children.
So, is it true or not?
The Chicago Tribune became the first media to question the waitress, especially in the face of the overwhelming hype of the American Weekly. But it's a pity that before that, Lance had repeatedly appeared on the newspaper pages because of the "woman" issue, and at this moment there was an illegitimate child, and people took it for granted that it was true, and would not even question the authenticity. It's like a murderer with bloody hands on his hands who suddenly declares himself to be a hero who saves lives.
Not only that, but the Chicago Tribune also boldly put forward conspiracy theories, which they thought were too coincidental, first the recording, then Jessica, then Angelina, and finally the waitress, like traps, dug up and waiting there, waiting for the prey to jump in. Obviously, this prey is Lance.
In the article, they emphasized that just a few weeks ago, Lance was an excellent director who broke 200 million at the box office of three consecutive works, and in the blink of an eye, all the news focused on Lance's private life. Instead of denying the accusations against Lance, on the contrary, they also consider Lance to be a bastard, as the New York Times puts it, a Inglourious bastard; But they think that the news is like a mountain of people drowning in the sea, but Lance, as the person concerned, has never responded positively, why is this?
So, they boldly came up with the conspiracy theory that it was a conspiracy against Lance, and that the waitress was also a pawn to be used against Lance.
After the publication of this issue of the Chicago Tribune, it drew unanimous condemnation, and people's views were simple: what kind of onion is Lance, why should all the media join forces to target him alone, and who is behind the scenes?
For a time, the entire public opinion market was boiling, and the "Chicago Tribune" was even more pointed out by thousands of people, and was scolded by people as "accepting bribes from Lance, telling lies with a clear conscience, and losing the bearing of the uncrowned king of journalism." In this way, it added fuel to the fire and made the entire public opinion more and more inclined to the unfavorable situation for Lance.
Even if the East Coast media wanted to steer public opinion, they couldn't help but find it tricky, and they had to be careful or they would set themselves on fire, just like Michael Jackson was charged with molestation.
At such a moment, the waitress bravely stood up, appeared for the first time, was interviewed for the first time, and became the focus of attention, and everyone was waiting for the direct testimony of the parties! As a result, the "Oprah talk show" attracted thousands of attention. (To be continued.) )
