Chapter 152: Reese. The Witherspoon Affair

Since the birth of the Internet, more than a dozen years have passed quietly, and even eighty-year-olds have to admit that today, the Internet is profoundly changing people's lives, which has also found new excitement for the attention economy. For example, the Hilton sex that was in a big swing three years ago. Love the video case, if there is no Internet, this news will not be able to ferment, thousands of bored people will not know how bold and hot Hilton is, and this budding ITgirl will not become a household name overnight - of course, she was one of the better reality TV stars before this, but this video did bring Hilton's popularity to a new peak, and with it, in addition to people's criticism or praise, there is also popularity, Power vs. money.

However, although she has gradually become accustomed to the influence of the Internet on the media world, Reese. The Witherspoon network marketing case is still the biggest scandal on the Internet so far - this news has countless hot spots: this year's hottest Oscar candidate, Oscar black. The victim of curtain talk, network marketing, is another Hollywood A-lister...... The whole thing is full of drama, and there are at least two genius Twis -- no one can cover such a news, not even Rupert. Neither can a media tycoon like Murdoch, as long as he doesn't control all the media, then there will always be TV and print media reporting such a dramatic event of the year everywhere.

Since no one can cover such a news, then the only way is not to cover it, things have progressed to the point, and no one can control the development of the situation, neither Reese nor Oscar, nor even the puppeteer hiding behind the scenes. How will the industry react to this unprecedented evil? Neither the think tanks of Hollywood's biggest companies nor Jenny, who has a goldfinger ahead of her time, can't predict this - of course, the public and media carnival is conceivable, but how will the Oscars respond? Will Reese lose because she avoids suspicion? Or is it, as always, that the Oscars make a big deal out of it and don't make any comments on it? After all, the whole news has not yet clearly pointed to the Oscars, and it is reasonable that they do not respond.

As for the Golden Globe Awards' jury panel, no one cares at all, the Golden Globes are not the first year that they have been exposed to injustice, what else can a 90-member jury expect? There has even been a scandal of directly taking money to buy a movie queen, accepting public relations corporate sex. Bribery or something, it's a trivial matter at all.

Of course, this is the outside world's opinion of the jury group, whether the jury group does what they think, it is unknown, and even Jenny's public relations company SlatePR strongly protested against this, and threatened to sue Reese's public relations company 42Careers at the external press conference, accusing them of maliciously slandering the company's reputation, it is conceivable that the claim amount will definitely reach an astronomical amount. -- and 42Careers also quickly issued a statement, declaring that it was just a subordinate senior staff member Adam. Berg's personal actions, the company is not aware of this, and the company has never and will not achieve marketing purposes by posting rumors on the Internet.

Perhaps to save face for clients, 42Careers did not comment on Reese. Witherspoon and Nancy. Diesel and Reese have also remained silent, while public and media interest has focused on the following points: 1. Whether Reese's online marketing (and her failures) can have an impact on the Oscars; 2 How Reese would respond to this; 3 In 42Careers, she has made it clear that she wants to stay out of the situation, and SlatePR has just been offended, can Reese find the right crisis PR to help her get through it?

And, of course, 4 - who did all this? Who broke everything? Who is the company that collects money to help Reese do public relations as an online promoter? How many hot topics on the Internet are behind the control of public opinion, in addition to the innocuous lace news in the entertainment industry, what about political news? What about business news? And those tear-jerking and thought-provoking social news, do they all have the shadow of a promoter behind them?

A day after the news broke, ONTD's posting ID went out again, but this time it didn't bring new material, just issued a statement, announcing as a hacker that this was an exposure of network promoters, and it was not aimed at anyone, but just hoped that the public would be cautious about the thought control of the Internet and the media.

-- A typical hacker extremist organization: In the United States, where anti-globalization organizations and anti-information organizations are rampant, such anti-media organizations do not cause any emotional shock, and even the views they want to publish are rarely cared about, but are a means of attracting attention. However, as far as this incident is concerned, his post has also sparked a wide range of discussions - this may be the first time that the general public cares about the fledgling profession of online promoters, and the public's concern is the sharpest weapon in the current information age, in order not to fall behind in the competition, some media have begun to re-examine the existing news materials in their hands, and some media people have indeed realized the special features of online media and began to dig up this information -

In the midst of such a craze, Reese, the initiator, has been included in the background of news and talk shows again and again, and even the whole thing has been named Reese. The title of the Witherspoon incident, but fortunately, it also retreated from the cusp of public opinion because of the spread of the topic. Yes, she lost her face, yes, this incident will become the first lace of the year, yes, her Oscars and Golden Globes may be in vain, yes, she has become the object of public laughter and talk show jokes, yes, she was scolded by netizens, but then again, compared to the big issue of online public opinion control, her face is not important, at least she won't go to jail for it, right? According to the existing jurisprudence, she can hardly even be said to have violated the law, unless the injured party files a lawsuit and the prosecution proves that Reese was the perpetrator of the whole thing, Reese will at most suffer defamation as an accomplice and witness, and pay a certain fine. -- In the general topics of state, politics, and Internet public opinion, she is no longer important at all......

Of course, this does not mean that she will disappear from people's attention anytime soon - the Hollywood media will be more concerned about her reaction than on these serious issues: will Reese attend the Golden Globes? Jennifer. What about Jefferson? What does it feel like to be a victim, and what does she think of Reese? The Golden Globes are just around the corner, will she go to the Golden Globes? How would she react if she saw Reese?

Jennifer's response was as low-key and cautious as ever. Ackerman said: Jennifer has been filming in South Carolina, and she is shocked and saddened by this incident, but believes that it will not affect the fair judgment of the judges of the major awards. She will attend the Golden Globes as usual and the Oscars if she is nominated.

It's very official, and there is no evaluation of Reese Fang, and the media are certainly not satisfied at all, but it is a pity that the studio in South Carolina is strictly managed, and they can't shoot anything except some street shots of Jennifer and Josh laughing, and of course it is impossible to ask any sensitive questions - Jennifer has long hired bodyguards to regulate the actions of reporters.

"The point is to keep a low profile and not to preach and flaunt yourself." Jenny said to Josh, "Never do anything that annoys you, the Internet hides dragons and crouching tigers, and if you off the masters—we're not without dirty secrets." ”

Josh took a sip of his coffee, nodded thoughtfully, and flipped the page of the paper, "I know what to say to reporters." ”

Of course, Judy must have taught him what to say to reporters, but if Josh could have grasped the intent to do so, he would have been more flawless in some unexpected situations. Jenny nodded, giving Josh an appreciative look, "I know it might hurt to say that - but you're really much more mature after Claudia dumped you." ”

Compared to the usual level of Hollywood, Josh should be regarded as a good man at the fantasy level. Even Jenny didn't expect his willpower to be so strong - it is said that because of the race, Caucasian people are more likely to drink heavily, but they are relatively less prone to poisoning. Addictive - but even so, he quit marijuana at an astonishing rate, and for months after that time she kept an eye out, Josh didn't smoke it once. gradually got started in acting, with that EDGY feeling, and even in public relations, in his career planning, he seemed to have his own ideas overnight, unlike before, he was completely just pushed by two women: Anna and Claudia in turn, wherever he went.

For example, after the end of "Pirates of the Caribbean", he has arranged some acting courses for himself, which is rare for a big star who has already become famous, and even Jenny does not go to acting classes now. For another example, he has a new idea about the films he wants to make in the future - he wants to act in some low-budget literary films, not to win awards, but to hone his acting skills. After one or two workouts, return to the ranks of commercial blockbusters.

Compared with Christopher, who is passionate and clearly aiming for the Oscars, he is still a little unmotivated, but not everyone in this world must have such ambitions, and it is not necessary to start with being a good actor. Jenny also saw the change in him, and she even thought about telling Claudia this information, but in the end she gave up her idea: some things are in the past, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

"Since I only have one thing left now, of course I have to do this well." Josh said disapprovingly, after a few months of polishing, he seemed to have lost his mental baby fat, his eyes were deep and sharp, and his face was angular, because the brown semi-long hair that he was filming was scattered casually on his cheeks, just sitting and drinking a cup of iced coffee, it was already a pleasing landscape painting, "Isn't it?" ”

Jenny smiled and nodded, "Keep it up, maybe I'll be reluctant to break up with you." ”

"I don't think it's going to be me who is in a hurry right now." Josh threw a meaningful look at her, "Where did you disappear from Chris's house before?" ”

“Youtellme。” Jenny shrugged, "-Don't raise the bar with me, Josh, it's the age of the internet, and you know that if we don't want to make a big scandal when we don't sleep with each other, then we can only break up to properly satisfy our sexual needs, and we don't have to worry about turning into poor Reese one day." ”

If it was in the past media era, even if they were 'stealing' separately, as long as they were not photographed with clear kissing photos or something, with a giant like Disney on top, they could still suppress the news. Big newspapers don't send it, and the paparazzi should sell it to celebrities instead of selling it to tabloids, although the price will not be as high as many snapping up, but it will not be less than selling it to tabloids - this kind of thing can still be negotiated and solved, but now with the Internet, everything is different, the paparazzi can bid infinitely, if the celebrity doesn't buy it, then send it directly to the Internet, and the scandal can still be reprinted by the big media. Maybe not too many people realized this before, but after the Hilton and Reese case, everything really didn't change anymore.

"yes, if we don't sleep with each other." Josh said, "Why don't we sleep with each other? I'm already single, and you seem to be single too - unless you admit that you have a boyfriend, what a good way to go, sleep with each other, fake marriage, and break up after two years - Win-win. ”

"Josh." Jenny narrowed her eyes, "Why do you always want to force me to admit that I'm dating Chris - and we haven't, Why?" Why are you so obsessed with this? - Oh, don't tell me you're in love with me, or you just want to make sure I'm single - don't tell me you're trying to make a crappy bootycall. ”

“What? No! Josh smiled in surprise, "No, I'll never you. Bed-you're like my sister, why let sex ruin it all? ”

He adjusted his posture, "Nah, forget about my stupid question." ”

"Josh—" Jenny dragged out her voice and tore the bread to shreds it at him, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Well," Josh shrugged, "just as this is, I don't know-let's think it's a younger brother meddling with my sister's business--weirdly I'm older than you--the truth is, I've heard some rumors about Chris, but if you're just a cannon with him. Friend, then I don't need to tell you, on the contrary, if you are serious, then-"

"Oh, we're just cannons. Friend," Jenny said briskly, but nodded Josh on tiptoe, "Come on, there's no way you can hook and walk away." ”

"Well," Josh rolled his eyes, "--heard of Susanna. Baum? ”

"No, who is she, another Jewish nobleman?" Jenny asks - after a few years in Hollywood, she has also learned to recognize Jewish surnames more sensitively, but that doesn't mean anything, Hollywood Jews are full of pits, and now the unlucky Adam. Berg was also a Jew.

"She's a head of the Oscar-affiliated Screen Actors Guild," Josh said, "and she's rumored to have the ability to influence a lot of the judges, and it's said to be ...... She is a well-known stamp collector. ”

“Hmm。” Jenny said, "And Chris—"

Josh grimaced, "At least as far as I heard, yes, and Chris—"

"It seems that he really wants to win the Oscar." Jenny shrugged, "Of course, or maybe someone else thinks he really wants to win an Oscar, anyway, I know, Josh, thank you for your concern." ”

She kicked Josh again, "It feels good to have a brother." ”

They sat on the edge of the low cliff for a while, looking in the shadows at the beach below, one of the best hotels in South Carolina, its private beach was of course immaculate, no one came to move in the scorching sun, and the waves bulldozed the footprints of tourists, leaving a mirror surface that shimmered with water.

Josh looked at his watch, "The nominations should be out." ”

"Hmm." Jenny didn't mean to move. Josh shrugged, shifted his seat, and took a big sip of iced coffee.

"Hey!" In the distance, Mary's excited cry was heard, and she rushed through the rocks, "--Nominations are out!" You—you should bring your phone, Jenny—"

Jenny was still silent, but Josh interrupted her anxiously, "What happened? Mary, just to tell us the result, - how many did Jenny mention?! Oh, and—"

He hurriedly added, "What about Reese?" Did Reese get it? ”

The author has something to say: Note: 1 The two PR agencies here are true, and Reese's PR agency is really 42C

2. The Hilton tape incident doesn't need popular science, right? Super famous...... It is said that Hilton has taken tens of millions of dollars in hidden benefits from it.
