Using the media to fight the media.
Such things are not uncommon. Serious news led by the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, and professional magazines led by The New Yorker and Time Magazine have always been very hostile to entertainment media led by News Corporation and Entertainment Weekly. There are criticisms, on the one hand, because the entertainment-to-death culture in the Internet age has gradually begun to lose control; on the other hand, after national entertainment, the authenticity and accuracy of news have plummeted..
Strictly speaking, what the media is attacking is not peer media, but the trend of the entire industry gradually declining, losing control, and declining..
Lydia chose the bottom line, even skipping over the facts of the "Entertainment Weekly" accusations and Harvey Weinstein's behind-the-scenes push, and instead pointed her finger at the ugliness of the entire industry. Essentially, completely turning the situation around. The courage and courage are indeed eye-catching..
However, it sounds simple, but it is far from easy to operate..
Everyone sat in a circle, had a detailed and thorough discussion, and began to assign tasks..
Now that we have decided to eradicate the root cause, we must solve the problem cleanly and thoroughly: those discussions about Renly's wealth and background, those accusations about Renly's malicious hype, those jealousies about Renly's rapid rise...all of it. , in order to avoid future troubles and restore their reputation and image, they still have a lot of work to do..
When Renly came back, it was just a quarter past ten o'clock. Mainly because of Anne's schedule, and the two little ones were tired, so they didn't finish watching the fireworks display, so they returned to the city and had dinner together. , and then sent them back to the hotel. Therefore, it is not too late to return.
After midnight, the meeting entered its final stage.
However, Lydia and Andy still did not leave. The two of them still had a lot of work to do. The former, as a publicist, formulated the entire plan and contacted the media. This was her responsibility; the latter, as an agent, needed to take advantage of this incident. With the power of the entire innovative artist management company, his job is definitely not easy..
Renly returned to the room.
I took a shower to wash away my tiredness; but tonight I didn’t rush to dry my hair and get ready for bed. Instead, I went to the balcony and looked at the dark night of Los Angeles. The deep purple sky lightly raised a halo of light. , rosy and colorful, vast and bright, revealing the completely different temperament and charm of the East Coast.
There is an unlit cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the smell of tobacco is floating under the nose; tonight, there is an urge to light it..
Deep inside, after all, there is still no calmness and calmness on the surface..
Renly really didn't care about the condemnation and accusations from "Entertainment Weekly" and other media; to be more precise, during the Berlin Film Festival, he foresaw the development trajectory of things. Even if it was not a "one-man concert", it would be There will still be other opportunities, other excuses, other events, and sooner or later this wave will hit..
The difference is only when and to what extent.
As a former top student majoring in journalism and as an upper-class graduate from Cambridge University, Renly firmly believed that if he joined the journalism industry and became a reporter, he would be able to make a mark. He knew the expectations of reporters. purpose, he also knows the reporters’ methods, he also knows the reporters’ methods.
Renly has never been afraid of the media. There is essentially no difference between last year's Seattle incident and this year's concert incident. Reporters are just eager for highlights and stunts..
The people who are really upset are the people, the fans and fans.
Standing outside the siege, Renly once told himself that other people's eyes are ultimately other people's opinions. As a public figure living under the spotlight, he cannot win everyone's love, and there is no need. Even if Tom Hanks is no exception. If he always cares about other people's views and opinions, and even changes himself for other people's thoughts, in the end, he will lose himself..
But standing within the siege, Renly realized that the truth is extremely simple to say, but extremely difficult to actually implement. In the final analysis, he is an ordinary flesh and blood body, not a robot. He hears those curses and provocations, hears those insults He couldn't remain indifferent to ridicule and ridicule. Maybe he wasn't as strong as he thought..
He thought he could not care. But, he couldn't.
This afternoon, while at Disneyland, someone spat in his face..
It didn't spit on him, it just fell to the side, but the man shouted with a fierce look and contempt, "Liar! You make me sick." Then, as if performing a performance, he raised his hands high, Repeatedly yelled, "Disgusting."！”
That was a child of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a face full of youthfulness and childishness. When such vicious, vulgar, and ugly behavior happens to a child, and it happens at Disneyland, it often brings shock. Double.
Anne and Alex, who were standing next to Renly, were frightened. Alex rushed forward with his fists waving, shouting, "What did you say! What did you just say! I don't allow you to say that."！”
Anne held Renly's right hand tightly, feeling at a loss and her body was trembling slightly..
Renly caught Alex in time and pulled him back. But Alex stood there with aggrieved face, "Why did he say that to you? Why?" As he spoke, tears fell down, But he clenched his fists hard, stubbornly turned his cheeks away, and bit his lower lip, unwilling to show his vulnerability..
At that moment, Renly was so embarrassed. He could raise his fist and give the child a severe lesson; but he had no way to stop Yoyo's speech, let alone the harm those eyes and eyes caused to the two children..
Did he really do something wrong? Shouldn't he hold a concert willfully? Shouldn't he cling to an agreement regardless? Shouldn't he be so self-righteous and stick to his dream? If, if Heather is really because of him……
Renly closed his eyes tightly and cut off all random thoughts. He could not let such thoughts expand. It was too heavy and almost made him breathless..
He once thought that the dream of "Don Quixote" had truly come true, not only because of the success of the concert and Grammy, but also because of George Strand, Herbert Jones, and Heather Chloe. All the faces have truly understood the essence of the album.
He once thought that he was finally no longer alone in pursuing his dreams. Those figures raising their hands in the air and cheering, those faces filled with tears and happiness, they became his partners..
He once thought that his persistence, his ideals, and his soul had truly found his soulmate. Those figures filling up Lincoln Center and those filling up Madison Square Garden truly understood the meaning of "fighting cancer." Me", they really understood "Don Quixote"”.
He has worked hard for so long, persisted for so long, and struggled for so long. At a certain moment today, he began to deny himself and everything. It turned out that everything was just his wishful thinking.：
Wishful thinking believes that dreams are real; wishful thinking believes that Don Quixote is real; wishful thinking believes that if you run hard, you will eventually reach the end; wishful thinking believes that on this thorny road , he is not a person walking alone.
In the final analysis, he was still alone after all. Everything was wiped out in an instant under the keyboards of those people. It seemed that everything was less than the weight of a sentence; and it was a sentence from "Entertainment Weekly". So easy, so Ridiculous, so ridiculous.
“You should understand that meaningless persistence is stupidity. It is not only a waste of your time and energy, but also a hindrance to everyone around you. You are not stupid, you should at least know how to give up. You are not a genius, and you never have been. The world There are not so many geniuses or miracles in the world. You are just a fool daydreaming, and your chance of success is zero! dream? This is the most useless word in the world. It is just an excuse used by losers to comfort themselves..”
George Hall's words were like a nightmare. Just when Renly thought they had disappeared and were insignificant, they reappeared, mocking his embarrassment from above, coldly and arrogantly..
My mouth is full of bitterness, I can't spit it out, but I can't swallow it either..
Powerlessness, a deep feeling of powerlessness. After his rebirth, Renly felt powerless for the first time..
Death faded away and he was reborn. From the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to be running wildly, running with all his strength towards his dream, single-mindedly, without distractions, and doing his best, truly enjoying life wantonly and truly interpreting the meaning of life. color.
But today, he was suddenly at a loss. It seemed that all his running was blind and futile. When he opened his eyes, the sky was filled with gray and black. A heavy feeling of powerlessness wrapped around his ankles like waterweed. The more he struggled, the tighter he became. The harder you work, the more painful it is.
He took a deep breath, and the dry tobacco smell mixed with the coolness of the night entered his chest. He lowered his head and looked at the cigarette on his fingertips. The holder was bitten, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Playing with cigarettes.
To ignite or not to ignite? ignite? Still not lit？
His thoughts were surging but he still couldn't make a decision. Immediately, Renly realized his indecision. This was not him, and it was not like him. He was immersed in the emotion of self-pity and could not extricate himself, denying himself, questioning himself, and giving up on himself..
After two lives of human transformation, he thought that Chu Jiashu had been left in the memories of the previous life forever, but now he has fallen into his old habits again. Now, he is not Chu Jiashu, but Ren Li, Ren Li -Hall.
Even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he is walking alone, he will walk on with his head held high and his head held high until the end of his life..
