Chapter 276 is an indispensable international joke

Just when several girls were gathered in front of the computer screen, chattering and discussing the news above, suddenly there was a darkness behind them, and a head came from behind without warning, startling several girls.

Lin Mingyang, who came out from behind like a ghost, pointed to the girl's notes, "Can I take a look at this news on your computer?" ”

"You're right away a girl who recognized him.

Several girls were about to have a collective scream, but Lin Mingyang hurriedly made a quiet gesture towards them, so they didn't shout.

"Didn't you get into a car accident?" The girl who recognized Lin Mingyang first had a quick spin, and she immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"I can assure you that it is not my ghost that appears to you... I also wondered why I was sitting here eating and why someone said I had been in a car accident. Lin Mingyang pinched his chin, his eyes staring at the news on the screen, and the strange feeling in his heart became more and more intense.

"Look, the car has crashed into a pile of scrap metal and sunk into the lake, this is a picture of when it was first salvaged," one girl pointed at the screen.

"It looks like it's my Aston Martin, but how did it end up in the lake?" After reading the whole news, Lin Mingyang not only did not figure out what was going on, but a lot of confusion appeared in his heart.

When he took out his mobile phone and was about to call director Martin Campbell, he found that the phone had long been out of battery, and he secretly cursed in his heart, and then snapped his fingers at the waiter standing at the other end of the restaurant, "Waiter, check out"

The other party quickly sent the bill, and Lin Mingyang gave him the money without looking at it, "The extra is your tip." ”

Without waiting for the waiter to thank him, he stood up and walked out of the door, followed by Jessica Bell with a handbag.

What's going on here? ”

At this time, Lin Mingyang had already reached out and stopped a taxi, he opened the back door and made a gesture of invitation inside, "I haven't completely figured out the specific situation, I'll talk to you in detail on the way."

As soon as Jessica Bell got into the car, Lin Mingyang followed suit, patted the driver's backrest, and handed the driver a card with the hotel's address written in Italian.

The driver glanced at the address and handed the card back, and the car started and sped away towards the hotel where the crew was staying.

Looking at the street scene speeding by outside the car window, Lin Mingyang said with a depressed face: "This morning, the Aston Martin used by the crew for filming broke out of the guardrail on the lakeside road outside the hotel, and the driver jumped out of the water before the car fell into the water, but was seriously injured... For some reason, all the reports on the Internet thought that the driver was me. ”

Jessica asked with some concern: "So the crew is in a mess now?" ”

"There shouldn't be anything going on with the crew, but something must have happened in the United States, my mobile phone just happened to be out of battery at this time, and I couldn't get through to my phone, even if it was rumored that they would believe it, this is what I'm most worried about."

――――

"Who said it was the gentleman who was hurt?" Martin Campbell, who was surrounded by reporters, repeated this sentence in an aggravated tone, "The driver of that car was a stuntman from our crew, who was about to drive to the set when it was raining heavily, and the police initially determined that the car suddenly lost control while driving, steered, brakes failed, and the whole car flew out of the lake road and broke into the lake." Luckily, our stuntman quickly escaped from the car before it was about to burst into the lake, and was subsequently rescued from the lake by firefighters, but was seriously injured but is now out of danger. ”

Looking at the reporters around him who were looking at each other, he shook his head angrily, and then separated everyone and walked into the hospital, he was going to visit the injured. And the group of reporters stood there stunned, and for the first time, no one followed. All of them were thinking that this joke was really too big

――――

The first thing Lin Mingyang did when he rushed back to the hotel was to connect his mobile phone to the charger, then turn on the phone, and immediately prompted that there were more than 50 missed calls, and all kinds of messages added up to more than 100 in total.

When it came to this, Lin Mingyang didn't have time to reply one by one, he first called home, and Catherine, who received his call, cried softly directly on the other end, and it took a lot of effort to comfort his mother and make her believe that it was a complete misunderstanding.

After explaining the matter to his family, Lin Mingyang made another phone call to Ackels. Cod, who was at the airport, had just watched Ex enter the boarding hallway, and within a few minutes Exx walked out of the aisle on the other side.

Cod greeted him with a puzzled face, "Did you forget something?" ”

Ex shook his head, "Get your ticket back, I don't have to rush over"

"What?" Cod was struck by lightning and stepped back twice, "Could it be that Mr. has been?" ”

Ex glared at Cod angrily, "That kid never believed in God, and he probably went to see the devil when he died, but he is still alive and well."

"So Sir is fine, thank goodness, I know that Sir will definitely make it through this." Cod was still crying and mourning just now, and in the blink of an eye, he smiled, and he almost danced with his hands.

Ex sneered: "There is nothing to celebrate, there is no car accident at all." The stupid reporters took the person in the car accident for him, and they didn't even confirm the identity of the injured person and sent out a press release, I see how they ended up this time."

Now it was Cord's turn to be dumbfounded, Lin Mingyang didn't have a car accident, and now he suddenly began to sympathize with the reporters who sent the wrong article. The impact of this incident is very great, and if Lin Mingyang wants to seriously investigate it, basically all the media that published this news have already constituted the crime of defamation and rumor-mongering. It is conceivable that after the reporters come back, it is estimated that many people will lose their jobs because of this.

――――

At this time, it was not only the media in the United States that was reporting on the accident, but also the media in other countries following suit, for a time the British BBC, the French Reuters, the Middle East Al Jazeera, the Australian News Broadcasting Corporation, and the Brazilian Television and Radio Network all broadcast the news in different forms, and even China's Central Television also broadcast the news in the international time of the evening news of the comprehensive channel.

Female voice: "At 4 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, the famous Hollywood actor Lin, who was filming a movie on Lake Garda in southern Italy, was driving a luxury sports car on the lakeside highway when the body suddenly lost control, broke into the 20-meter guardrail along the side, and after an 8-meter fall, broke into the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake at a depth of 55 meters. It is reported that Lin is currently seriously injured and is being treated urgently in the hospital. ”

Male voice: "Here we remind the audience in front of the TV to abide by traffic laws, pay attention to safe driving, and beware of similar tragedies, let's take a look at the next news..."

After changing the channel in seconds

Audience A (male): "......"

Audience B (Female): "......"

Then sighed, Audience A, "Do you think what is said in this news is reliable?" ”

Audience B: "Nonsense, in addition to foreign news, is there a truth-telling program on this channel?" ”

Audience A: "The car has crashed like this, I guess Lin is a little suspenseful this time"

Audience B, tears rolling in his eyes: It's my favorite Hollywood movie star, we'll divorce when he dies"

Audience A looked up to the sky and sighed, and his face was full of cows, "Brother Chun, let him believe Brother Chun quickly"

――――

Across the Pacific Ocean, Lin Mingyang certainly couldn't hear the heartfelt call of a Chinese audience, who was busy explaining the matter to a few confidants. After tossing for more than an hour, Megan, who was the last to call Lin Mingyang, finally hung up the phone satisfied, and when she heard the busy tone in the microphone, Lin Mingyang threw away the phone and lay on the bed with her whole body.

The reporters who rushed to the scene of the incident originally regretted missing a piece of heavy news, but at this time they were secretly glad that if they had come earlier, maybe they would have followed the group of reporters to put a big oolong, and after on-the-spot interviews and frequent inspections in the hospital, they finally determined that the injured person was definitely not Lin Mingyang in the previous report.

This time, the speed of their press release was not slow, and the major websites in the United States have ripped off the original "oolong" news and replaced it with the latest report on the incident. Under strong pressure from MGM, major television networks publicly clarified the reporting errors in the program and apologized to the "victim" of the incident, Lin Mingyang.

One by one, the media were like frost beating eggplant, and they were busy recovering the losses caused by the broadcast of erroneous news, and many newspapers that had already sent the manuscript to the printing house pulled back the original manuscript and revised it again; anyway, the entire US media industry was made by Lin Mingyang's "car accident" incident that night, and later statistics showed that because of the broadcast of this erroneous news, the entire US media industry directly lost more than $200 million.

Because he was misled by fake news, Lin Mingyang received more than 500,000 visits to Face's personal homepage that day, and tens of thousands of messages and blessings almost flooded his email address. After learning that the news was wrong, Lin Mingyang's fans spread the news through various online channels, which also became a key hot word on major search engines that day.

Finally, the U.S. stock market also took a hit, with MGM's stock price falling and then rising, and the shares of other news media groups falling across the board. Because of the particularity of the reported characters and the wide influence of the event, this news was later included in the major events that affected the course of the American media industry, and even a few years later, there were still scholars studying this "strange" communication case.
