872 The truth comes out
Bradley Adams was staring at the computer screen with all his concentration, his thoughts welling up, and his hands were typing on the keyboard quickly, turning his thoughts into words to record them..
“"Hypegate", from its origin to its rise to boiling over, the fermentation of the incident is getting more and more intense..
At first, Bradley was more trying to protect Renly's reputation, find the truth of the matter, and try to restore the original appearance of the matter; but gradually, the justice and responsibility of being a reporter are awakening, which not only involves... Renly Hall, and the corruption that permeates the entire society, he hopes to use his pen to truly fulfill the duties of a journalist: to supervise and guide society through public opinion.
Maybe, for Entertainment Weekly, for Harvey Weinstein, this is just another hype, just another academy PR operation during awards season; but for Bradley, he Still retaining the professional ethics and ideals of a journalist, he does not want to lose these qualities.
“Bradley." A colleague's call came to his ears, but Bradley did not look back. He was still typing on the keyboard quickly with both hands. The other party called twice more, and finally walked over, "Your internal phone number. , there is a clue that can provide direct evidence of the Renly-Hall incident..”
Bradley remained indifferent and focused. For the New York Times, similar news clues appear every day; and the news focus is at its peak recently, with an average of at least twenty calls related to it every day..
“Bradley, the caller said it was the parents of Cross and Heather Cross." The other party added the explanation again, which suddenly made Bradley stand up suddenly and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? ! What line is it?？”
“No. 2." The other party said reflexively. After saying it, he began to protest, "Hey, it was you who ignored me. I gave you such an important clue. How are you going to repay me?？”
Bradley waved his hand as if dismissing a puppy, "I'll treat you to dinner next time." Then he ignored the explanation and connected to Line 2, "This is Bradley Adams, please speak..”
“Mr. Adams, this is Derrick Cross..”
“Hey, Mr. Cross." This is not the first communication between Bradley and Derek. Before the concert, Bradley interviewed Derek and Ellie..
After the recent news broke, Bradley also knew clearly that interviewing the Crosses and clarifying all the negative news as the parties involved was the most direct and simple way..
But Andy Rogers called and emphasized that Renly did not want to disturb Mr. and Mrs. Cross, nor did he want to disturb Mount Sinai Hospital. Therefore, the development of the entire incident deviated from the track, but unexpectedly burst out with a different kind of brilliance..
Derek hesitated for a moment, "Sorry, I just called now. Ellie and I just saw the news today and learned about the situation. Now...how is Renly?"？”
“Renly is fine." Bradley replied, "You know, Renly is an admirable young man, and he is fine." Even as a reporter, looking back on the whole story, Bradley still I have to express my admiration.
“……That's good." Derek's voice was slightly choked for a moment. At this moment, his mood was really complicated and it was difficult to describe it in words. But for Renly, he knew that he owed him an "Sorry", "Well, I discussed it with Ellie. , I think we need to clarify the facts to the media. We cannot let Renly bear such a reputation. This is wrong. Heather... Heather will not agree to it..”
“are you sure? Bradley hesitated, "After what happened, I actually thought about contacting you, but... Renly didn't want to disturb you. You know, I'm also very sorry for Heather's departure. Renly I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble for Heather. Once you come forward, those reporters will pester you..”
Standing next to the phone, Ellie clearly heard Bradley's words and covered her mouth, but the cry still leaked out..
There was also a hint of nasal noise in Derek's words, and his vision became blurred, "Jesus Christ." Derek clenched his fists in frustration, and indescribable regret and anger surged in his chest..
“No... I mean, I don't mind. We all know the truth of the matter. What's more, Heather doesn't want to see such a situation. Her dream, her world, only Renly can truly understand. Renly ..." Derek's words were choked and interrupted, "Well, Renly has always adhered to his agreement, and Heather will not want to break the agreement..”
Bradley nodded, "I respect your decision. So, is there anything I can do to help you?？”
Derek took a deep breath, "Ellie and I want to hold a press conference, but we don't know how to contact the media. Can you help us?？”
“Of course, of course no problem! "Bradley agreed simply and neatly, "You tell me the time and place, and I will take care of the follow-up matters..”
After hanging up the phone, Bradley sat on his desk, dazed in a daze..
Renly Hall, what kind of actor is this? From the first meeting at the premiere of "War in the Pacific" until today, Renly's image has gradually become fuller and more three-dimensional. Perhaps, the weight of the album "Don Quixote" is far beyond imagination. , even three Grammy trophies are not enough.
As never before, Bradley began to wonder and look forward to what kind of artist Renly would become and what place he would occupy in history..
After taking a deep breath and withdrawing his wandering thoughts, Bradley started to get busy..
One week has passed since the shocking special report in "Entertainment Weekly".
In the Bible, God created the world in seven days; in real life, seven days have also experienced earth-shaking changes. "Hypegate" has gradually evolved into a typical social case and a summary of the entire era. However, there is still no debate Stopped, but triggered more and more discussions and controversies.
until today.
Derek Cross and Elle Cross, the parents of Heather Cross, officially held a press conference and told the truth in front of more than 130 reporters. It was not just "a "It's just a concert for people", and at the same time, he also reviewed every detail of the past three years..
From Heather's illness, to Heather's dreams, to Heather's cheering up, Renly has always played an important role; finally, it comes to the disturbances in the past half month, and... "A Concert of One Person"”.
“This is a concert for one person, a concert that belongs to Heather, and a concert that belongs to every dreamer. This is Heather’s last wish in her life.” As she spoke, Ellie broke down in tears, and Derek She tried to take over from her wife, but Ellie refused. This was her obligation and the least compensation she could do..
After regaining her composure, Ellie said firmly again, "A week before her condition worsened, Heather was preparing to participate in the audition for 'American Idol'. For this, she had been preparing for nearly half a year. On top of the concert, Heather He hoped that Renly could sing this song, but Renly said that this was their promise, and he hoped that Heather could sing it in person; unfortunately, Heather could not persist until the day when she fulfilled her promise. Later, in Gray At the US awards ceremony, Renly sang this song and fulfilled their promise.”
The truth finally revealed its original appearance. The song "Beast" was Renly's gift to Heather, and it was also Renly's dream to realize on Heather's behalf; the three Grammy acceptance speeches were never Show or deliberate, but a true cry and declaration from the heart.
After finishing speaking, Ellie completely collapsed, and Derek took over, explaining everything that had happened in the past week, and Renly's efforts to protect them..
As the Crosses broke their silence, Mount Sinai Hospital, which was belatedly aware of the situation, finally learned the whole story..
The nurses at the hospital took the initiative to accept interviews. Every detail of the past three years was exposed to the media. Every Christmas, Renly gave gifts to the hospital, and there were also gifts made for Renly by the children in the hospital. Gifts are the best proof.
Furthermore, the parents of Anne Silliman and Alex Rich also stood up and told their stories, as well as Renly's efforts on their behalf..
Not only that, after the overwhelming curses and condemnations on the Internet gradually dissipated like an ebbing tide, those supportive voices gradually emerged and slowly gained the upper hand. They came from the audience who had personally experienced the "One Man Concert" and also from To those who have personally attended the "Pioneer Village Night".
The jigsaw puzzle of the truth, one piece after another, is gradually pieced together. The appearance of each piece is so real and so moving..
When the whole world was accusing that man of lying and cheating, when the whole world was using that man to sensationalize the news, when the whole world was easily adding insult to injury to that man, he did not feel sorry for himself or feel sorry for himself. Despite the great suffering and deep hatred, he silently guarded his inner persistence and belief and fought back forcefully; and he always persisted in himself and remained unmoved..
Like "Don Quixote".
The previous wave of news was so lively, sensational, and noisy; the current shock response is so grand, turbulent, and heavy. The lies of "Entertainment Weekly" exposed the whole picture, confirmed the rhetoric of "American Weekly", and also It confirms the condemnation of the "New York Times" and "The New Yorker" and also confirms the cruelty and embarrassment of real society..
Overnight, "Entertainment Weekly" became a street rat. All netizens and all media outlets vented their anger towards "Entertainment Weekly" and Cornell McGregor. People always forget Yes, they selectively forgot what they had done, and then pointed the sword of judgment at the culprit with righteous words and condescendingly to cover up their panic and embarrassment..
The frenzy of public opinion exploded with ten or even a hundred times the energy..
