1032 Chapter 1032
The National Enquirer is in trouble again.
Anthony Bond Stewart exclusively broke the news in the latest issue of the National Enquirer, "Genetic inheritance, Lancaster father and son could not control their temper, violently beat reporters!"
Almost as soon as this report came out, it immediately became the focus of the entire news circle. The sales of this gossip tabloid ranked first among the major supermarket tabloids, but its influence was limited after all. However, the "New York Post" immediately reprinted the news, confirming part of the news. This is the top ten newspapers in the United States, and the news quickly spread throughout the United States.
In this report, Anthony was very restrained, and he did not exaggerate too many facts. Anthony said, "When I was friendly to visit old Lancaster, everything was very good, but when I mentioned the controversy about Hugo, things started to get out of control..."
Anthony didn't describe in detail what the controversy was, just briefly, and then focused all the emphasis on Adam's extraordinary behavior, "He took out a shotgun and pointed the dark muzzle at me, which directly offended me. The bottom line, although I was beaten and my whole body was sore, but at this time I couldn't care anymore, I could only get up, support myself with both hands and run out. But he still didn't want to let me go, and he kept pressing step by step. After several disputes, he pulled the trigger. At that moment, I really thought my life was threatened."
As if writing a love novel, Anthony vividly and detailedly described his mood at the time, "At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through my brain, and I even began to question my original intention of becoming a reporter. I am a coward. , so I did not dare to become a war correspondent, and did not dare to risk my life to deliver news on the battlefield to the public as soon as possible, just because I like movies and music, so I chose to become an entertainment reporter. I have also been threatened by violence several times, but I never expected that one day I would feel the threat to my life when I stood on this peaceful land of the United States, as if it was just a blink of an eye, I might be buried My life. It made me question myself: Why did I choose to be a journalist? Was it to uncover the truth and entertain the public, or was it to fear and endure threats?”
In an instant, Anthony raised the serious atmosphere of the whole topic by two steps, and in a few words, he raised the seriousness of the whole thing to the situation of the entire industry, trying to arouse the resonance of the journalists and seek more alliances. This is Anthony's biggest feeling after the trial of the witch: if there is infighting within the media, he must stand on the dominant side. Facing the media peers, the minority will always be the target of annihilation.
"The Lancaster father and son obviously have problems with emotional management. Hugo shook his fist at me because he lost control of his emotions. Now the same thing is happening to Adam again." Anthony is very cunning. Hugo forced him before. After once again humiliating admitting that the batter of the Golden Globes incident was not Joseph, Anthony has been looking for an opportunity to fight back. He obviously hopes to let Hugo suffer the consequences. This time is obviously a better opportunity, "It's just, Adam is even more outrageous. He not only used fists for violent oppression, but also used guns to threaten his life. Moreover, Adam was even more extreme than Sean Penn who took out the shotgun at the wedding because Adam pulled the trigger. "
If Anthony just wrote about the topic here, it would have been explosive enough. Adam Lancaster shot a reporter who came to the door for an interview. Whether this is self-defense or not, this is shocking. The violence of this kind of firearm is completely comparable to when Ron Clara was beaten by Marlon Brando and was hospitalized. Comparable - even more serious.
Imagine when journalists' lives are at stake for conducting interviews, which is absolutely intolerable, which goes beyond the moral line to the legal realm. Just like when reporters attacked Marlon Brando and Sean Penn violently, in order to safeguard their own interests, to safeguard their rights, and most importantly to safeguard their own lives, they are bound to go overboard with such violence. The move was strongly criticized. Even if Adam could justify him in self-defense, the reporters would never let him go.
Not to mention, Anthony's choice of time can almost be said to be at the right time and place. At this time, all the reporters were complaining about Hugo, especially the paparazzi colleagues who regarded Hugo as their own shame and shame, so many people besieged one. Hugo still hasn't taken enough weighty photos, which is almost a torture of the professionalism of every paparazzi. It can be said that as long as there is a little chance at this time, fellow reporters - paparazzi can be regarded as a form of reporters - will surely unite and attack Hugo.
And Anthony created a natural opportunity, other reporters don't need to do much at all, just throw the stones out of their hands. So, even if Anthony's report contains only these contents, it is enough to set off a storm.
But obviously, Anthony's plan from the beginning was more than that, because so far the whole game can only be regarded as a repeat of the same trick, passing on the situation of the Golden Globe incident to Adam, and Anthony knew that the effect would definitely not be as expected— - Adam's overreaction was a total windfall - the situation is so different now than it was at the Golden Globes, and even if he attracts enough hatred for Hugo, the effect is bound to be greatly reduced.
Therefore, in the report, Anthony unexpectedly did not criticize Adam's actions as a messenger of justice. This really surprised many people, but when they saw the last paragraph of Anthony's article, everyone suddenly realized .
"Adam's loss of emotional control obviously poses a huge danger, not only to reporters, but also to the surrounding residents. Likewise, Hugo also has emotional control problems, which makes people start to worry about whether Hugo will one day in the future. Pointing shotguns at innocent people?
From Hugo's beating of reporters to Adam's shooting at reporters, it is clear that there is a disturbing unknown factor hidden in the Lancaster family. According to the investigation, Hugo's mother Lena left the Lancaster home many years ago and has not been heard from since. Does this imply that her departure was related to Adam's violence? Does it imply that there is a serious domestic violence situation in Lancaster, or is it some other hidden secret?
From this, it can be extended, recalling what Uma Thurman said in an interview with reporters at the beginning, "Hugo is different from the outside", which is the main reason for their breakup. So can it be considered that there is a shocking inside story behind the breakup of Hugo and Uma, and the reason why Uma was willing to "clarify" the truth at the beginning was whether it was hiding the shadow of the unspoken rules of the industry. "
From this, you can see Anthony's ambition. He definitely didn't just want Adam to do it. He had already figured out how to make Hugo fall into trouble. For this day, he waited for a whole year! In order to speculate on this paragraph with only a few hundred words, Anthony lurked for more than half a year, and waited in Lanches for more than half a month. He also used thousands of words as a foreshadowing in the report, and then at the last moment, he put the blockbuster bomb thrown out.
Short, but powerful, and surprisingly effective.
At the end of the report, Anthony wrote, "Behind the brilliance of Hugo, there are countless secrets that make people sigh. Behind Hugo's bright and perfect image of a dream lover, how much is real, and how much is it? How much is created by PR is something to reflect on.”
In one sentence, it almost fell through everyone's glasses, and focused all eyes on Hugo with a sharp turn of 180 degrees, and then detonated an immeasurable follow-up effect.
Starting from Adam's behavior and ending with Hugo himself, Anthony focused everyone's attention on Hugo's brilliance in one fell swoop. In the past two years, Hugo's rise has been almost astonishing, although there are countless cases of overnight Hollywood fame, such as Tom Cruise relying on "Top Gun" to achieve this feat; but like It is absolutely rare for Hugo to reach the top of the pyramid in just two years.
There are countless mysteries condensed in Hugo. Uma Thurman's accusations and Tracy Jacobs' unspoken rules are just drizzle on the surface. The thing that really puzzles people is: Hugo Why he can succeed in six consecutive works, his vision for selecting works is really horrifying; why Hugo can cooperate with big names one after another, from Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson to the most recent Steven Spielberg , David - Geffen?
After the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo's career fell into a terrible trough. Almost everyone thought that Hugo's career was going to be destroyed. Blind everyone's eyes.
In fact, the media has reported the reasons many times. Hugo's partners are amazed at his dedication, devotion, and concentration, and Hugo's research in acting is even more admirable; similarly, Hugo's music career is full of admiration. Behind the success lies the hard work that people can see, road tours, street performances, long hours of practice, and self-persistence in musical styles.
Behind the success is bound to condense the same amount of sweat.
But these reasons have been subconsciously ignored in front of this report by Anthony, not because Anthony is too convincing, but because of the inferior roots of human nature, people always see the brilliance and brilliance of successful people, but Without the hard work behind them, they always think that they can achieve success without hard work; people are always jealous of the beauty of standing at the top, but they are unwilling to experience the difficulties and obstacles on the way to the top. Therefore, people yearn for Hollywood: because they only need to stand on the screen to get millions of dollars, because they can become famous overnight when they are discovered by a scout.
Yearning and jealousy for something unearned makes people willing to believe Anthony's report -- or want to believe it.
Under such circumstances, Anthony's exclusive revelation has become the hottest topic in the United States in just 24 hours.
