“Then, you are acquiescing to malicious hype.！”
At this critical moment, Cornell had no time to clear his thoughts or think deeply. He could only grit his teeth and stick to his consistent line, forcing Renly to respond head-on, forcing Renly to face the accusations, and forcing Renly to get involved. This Renly will never be able to get rid of such an incident so easily.！
Renly stopped walking away. He was not panicked or proud. He just pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows. "After going around in circles, we are back to where we started..”
A joke that woke up all the reporters: Cornell had already asked the same question once, and Renly had already answered it before the second or third question. Now they were like ghosts trying to beat a wall. Normally, I came around again.
All the reporters present knew clearly that Renly's words were actually a satire on all of them; but the joking sense of "bystanders" made people laugh, and the corners of their mouths turned up involuntarily, especially when they saw Cornell Angry expression, even more joyful.
“Can anyone here tell me the definition of malicious hype? "This time, Renly did not continue to defend, but said clearly, "If I remember correctly, the concert, the Seattle matter, and Miss Portman's matter were all reported by the media first. As a person involved, at least as one of the participants in the incident, I only found out later. So, what is the role I played in the entire process of malicious hype? Who can answer the question?？”
Such a rhetorical question, but the answer is self-evident.
Following Renly's thoughts, the reporters began to exchange glances with each other: Obviously, the media was the instigator, but the question is, who instigated these incidents in the first place? If you accuse Renly of malicious hype, there will either be evidence that those events are false; or there will be evidence that Renly was in cahoots with reporters. If not.……
“What about the concert? " Cornell keenly sensed the crisis and firmly grasped the life-saving rope. He temporarily interrupted the thoughts of other colleagues and shifted everyone's attention to the "one-man concert". "This Isn't it just hype? Isn't it just for the hype of the concert box office? Isn't it just for the hype of album sales? Isn't it just for the Grammy hype?？”
“No." Renly's answer was categorical and concise, leaving no room for error. The tough answer that was completely different from the previous one made Connell choke..
“First of all, this is a one-person concert, and it has not changed until now; secondly, all the box office revenue from the concert will be used to establish a foundation dedicated to research on terminal diseases and the treatment of minor patients; thirdly, Thank you to everyone who came to watch the concert. To be honest, I was prepared to have only one audience, but it is an honor to have such a large audience..”
Only then did the reporters realize that this was the first time Renly had talked about the concert in public. Without discussion, there would be no hype; without discussion, even publicity would not exist at all. Could it be that "a person "The concert" is really just a concert for one person？
Finally, a reporter couldn't hold it any longer and raised his voice and asked, "But how can Madison Square Garden be available only four days in advance?" This is also the biggest doubt in the entire incident..
Renly shrugged, "This was an accident." It was an absolute accident. Even Andre Hamilton didn't expect that his original choice would lead to such a major event. "Reporters are welcome to ask Madison about specific matters." Square Garden and Eleven Studio related personnel.”
The subtext is: looking for evidence and digging for the truth. Shouldn’t this be the responsibility of journalists? If you don't find out the truth and just agree with it in a hurry, is this considered as aiding others?？
The first reporter's interruption stimulated the professional instincts of other reporters. Finally, Cornell was no longer the only one to ask the question. Another question was raised again, "So about Heather Cross, what is this?" What's going on？”
“She is just an ordinary Don Quixote. I sincerely hope that all discussions and news will stop here and not disturb the peaceful sleeping soul. I don’t want to talk too much. Here, I emphasize, the so-called The malicious hype has never existed, and I don’t want it to appear. All topics end here. I am not going to continue to respond. Thank you..”
After saying that, Renly actually took a step forward and left quickly. He did not explain too much, did not clarify too much, or even responded too much. He seemed not to care at all about the overwhelming accusations, and showed a laissez-faire attitude. Such a free gesture really caught the reporters off guard..
“Renly！”
Heartbreaking calls, one after another, so heartbreaking, but still unable to stop Renly from leaving..
The entire interview only lasted less than five minutes. The reporters were completely confused. One, two, three... one after another gathered around Renly, raising their own questions hoarsely, trying to continue the interview as much as possible. Going down, the crowd at the door of the apartment showed a whirlpool state under the influence of gravity, following Renly's footsteps in a mighty manner..
The crowd was surging, but the reporters did not dare to take action easily to avoid causing accidents. They carefully controlled their steps and surrounded Renly in an orderly and step-by-step manner. The entire team was chaotic but neatly created a beautiful whirlpool. , like the tail of a comet sliding across the sky.
The whole street is a spectacular scene.
If you stand under the high-altitude clouds and look down from above, you can see the grand scene: densely packed black matchheads spread over half of the block, with a palm-sized open space in the center, and all the matchheads are bustling. But he carefully circled the small bright spot, slowly rotating and dragging it, just like the beautiful interstellar cloud pattern in the sky of the universe..
The entire planetary group moved slowly and thrillingly; slowly and gradually, the palm-sized bright spot in the middle got rid of the meteor group bit by bit, completely broke away, broke away, and disappeared into a black van. He walked away, leaving only a large black match head standing there, at a loss and feeling lost..
“hypocritical! A complete hypocrite! "The black van has disappeared at the corner of the street, and Cornell's reason has completely collapsed. He spat twice and cursed, "You are still such a sanctimonious and ugly face until now! He deceived the audience, deceived everyone, but did not talk about his own hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and actually tried to pour dirty water on us.！”
Cornell stood there, cursing and venting his inner anger, "We are reporters! Journalists responsible for digging out the truth and reporting facts! Could it be that we reported the news and it became our mistake? From beginning to end, everything He planned it all behind the scenes! It was all a tool for him to shape his image! Now that we have revealed the truth, he has chosen to refuse to respond? Ha, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life.！”
Not far away, Gavin looked at Connell with strange eyes. He cursed, confused right and wrong, and made false accusations. But that familiar face was so unfamiliar, as if he was a complete stranger..
A burst of anger and astonishment suddenly surged into his heart. His impulse broke free from the shackles of reason, and he rushed forward. Gavin roared at Connell, "Are you serious?"？”
Connell's mood was interrupted and he glanced at Gavin irritably, "What?？”
“I mean, were you serious about everything you just said? "Gavin asked.
“nonsense! "Connell only had time to say the first word, and then Gavin interrupted fiercely, "I'm asking you, do you really think that Renly was involved in malicious hype? Do you honestly think Renly is a hypocrite? Do you sincerely believe that you have enough evidence to prove that Renly planned all those news events?？”
A series of words came to him. Cornell opened his mouth and was about to fight back. However, Gavin raised his voice and continued..
“What we are discussing is the truth, the facts, the integrity of journalists, and the professional ethics of the uncrowned king! Don't tell me anything about entertaining yourself to death or what topic is king. I stand here and ask you sincerely, are you serious? Cornell McGregor！”
Connell was speechless for a moment when he was bombarded with questions in a loud voice..
In a trance, time seemed to flow back to the college days again. They were once close friends, embracing the great dream of journalists, embracing the unrealistic ideal of using their pens to change society, and embracing the beautiful vision of future life; firmly believing that they Can win a Pulitzer Prize and firmly believe that he can become a great journalist.
However, time flies, they stand opposite each other, but they have gone their separate ways..
Suddenly, Cornell felt a burst of humiliation, the humiliation from Renly, and the humiliation from Gavin. In an instant, he became angry from shame.！
“Gavin Hunter, you know? Let me tell you, when Renly nodded and agreed to your first interview at the Toronto Film Festival, you had already lost your mind. Then the world was different. You were blinded and ignored the facts. The truth. Renly refused my interview and also fabricated the Natalie Portman scandal! That's a devil, a devil in the skin of a gentleman！”
Cornell's words made Gavin stunned. The same memory, after years of precipitation and washing, actually evolved into two completely different versions, just like the distorted Cornell in front of him..
His anger reached the extreme, but Gavin felt relieved, shook his head, and smiled, "Cornell, you know what? I don't want to continue arguing with you. Is this really the memory of Toronto back then? If I If I remember correctly, it was us who concocted the scandal, and it was you who took the initiative to choose Natalie's line and gave up Renly's line. Are you sure you remember correctly?？”
Then, Gavin shrugged, "But, it doesn't matter, right? After all... amuse yourself to death!" After saying that, Gavin turned around and left without any hesitation..
Cornell looked at Gavin's leaving figure, and in a daze, he seemed to have mistaken him for Renly, "Gavin! We are friends! We are on the same side.！”
“We used to be." The wind brought Gavin's answer..
