Chapter 653: 653 Thunder Strike

The "National Enquirer" has not completely recovered from the aftermath of the witch trials, but they have a bad reputation, so they don't take "reputation" very seriously. This time the rumor about Hugo , Although it is a little strange, the "National Enquirer", in order to grab news exclusives, hopes that the newspaper will recover from the slump as soon as possible, but it still commits the old problem-publishing the news before verifying the facts.

After seeing the "National Enquirer" report, Joseph's actions began immediately. "U.S. Weekly" immediately wrote a comment strongly condemning the "National Enquirer", but this article written by James Larter is very funny. , he didn't go into detail about what happened, but said that the "National Enquirer" forgot the pain before the scars were healed, and he has been fabricating news, creating hot spots and attracting attention without investigation. This kind of behavior A shameful presence for the entire press.

"U.S. Weekly" is just a gossip magazine. Their articles are originally entertainment-oriented. When readers read this comment, they scoffed at the "National Enquirer" and waited to open the "National Enquirer" with curiosity. When reading the news, most people laugh at the preconceived notion that US Weekly is absolutely right, and the National Enquirer has fabricated the news again.

After all, for ordinary audiences, their perspectives are different from those in the circle. People in the circle saw this news because they saw that Hugo relied on unspoken rules to win the opportunity to perform, which was how he won the opportunity to show himself; but in the eyes of ordinary audiences, they saw Hugo's absolute strength in the four films. Naturally think that Hugo is relying on strength to win from the audition.

This difference in perception, combined with the preconceived notions created by Us Weekly, naturally led ordinary viewers to think that the Enquirer was back to its old ways.

On top of that, no other magazine except Us Weekly has covered the incident, nor has the National Enquirer condemned it as if it were just a farce between gossip magazines. So the leaked rumors only caused a little bit of waves, and then disappeared.

However, this unsuccessful revelation by the "National Enquirer" has become a breakthrough for Joseph's next plan. It wasn't long before the Los Angeles Times broke a Hollywood scandal, dubbed "the ticket gate."

The "Los Angeles Times" wrote an article exposing the vile behavior of a female Hollywood producer, who had overseen Oscar-nominated productions and contributed to the box-office long-running red series. A very good senior person, although the media exposure has declined rapidly due to the successive failures of his works in recent years, he is still quite powerful.

This producer's recent ugly act is disgusting. In order to promote her latest work, she did not hesitate to use her power to carry out a shameful "box-office" behavior, although the amount is not exaggerated, it is only a few million. That's it, but it completely undermines the principle of fair competition in the circle. The North American box office market should be an audience-oriented existence, not a game field where a few "authorities" make waves.

The female producer not only smashed the box office, but also fabricated a lot of negative news to attack direct competitors. The most shameful thing is that she tried to use unspoken ugly news to bring down an actor and shamelessly slandered the actor. and accusations; but the fact is that she fell in love with the actor, failed in courtship, and failed in unspoken rules. Because of love and hatred, she used her power to suppress him.

"Such bad behavior is really a cancer in the Hollywood industry!" This is the conclusion of the "Los Angeles Times" news, which clearly expresses Nicholas-Macron's deep disgust.

After the news came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the circle. People in the circle were shocked by the fact that this kind of behavior has been gradually banned, because it is an behavior that undermines the normal operation of the market. Although some people are still secretly making some small moves, But basically it can be said to be extinct, and even if there is, the amount will not be too large.

If the "Los Angeles Times" report this time is true, then people in the circle are bound to investigate and clear it again, because this is related to the normal operation of the entire circle, and no one can stay out of it.

People outside the circle don’t have much thought about the act of “swiping the box office”, because the box office of several million sounds like a drop in the bucket compared to the total box office data of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of movies, and it’s not worth mentioning at all; they The love-hate relationship and dog-blood gossip such as "female producers fail to achieve unspoken rules and then take revenge" are obviously more enthusiastic, and people are speculating about who the parties are.

For a time, the "Los Angeles Times" report caused a lot of excitement inside and outside the circle. People were speculating about the identity of the parties. Female producers such as Katherine Kennedy and Nora Ephron were all lying down, and they had to Stand up to show your innocence, on the one hand to clarify yourself, on the other hand, also firmly condemn the shameful behavior of some producers to destroy the image of the industry.

Tracy Jacobs naturally also entered people's guessing list, which made Tracy terrified. She originally planned everything, step by step, "Schindler's List", Hugo pull Entering the bottom of the valley, they completely smeared their reputation, but before she could make her next move, a stormy wave of conspiracy and deceit rushed to her face, making her panic.

At this time, Tracy finally felt that there seemed to be a huge black hand behind her who was playing with the chess game, and she was the victim of this chess game. Could it be Steven Spielberg—or more precisely, the Jewish community that Steven represents? This is the only opponent Tracy can think of. If the Jewish group takes action, then Tracy's survival hope is very slim, which makes Tracy swallowed by fear little by little.

However, guessing is guessing. Before the truth comes out, Tracy naturally cannot admit that she calmly denied these claims when facing the media, and also resolutely condemned this kind of unspoken evil in the circle, thinking that it must be banned , also a clean environment in Hollywood.

As the discussion unfolded, the mouths of the news media, which had been tightly closed, opened in an instant, and there was smoke everywhere.

"The New York Times" carried out an in-depth report under the headline "The Survival of Actors". This report subverted everyone's fixed idea of ​​Hollywood. People have always believed that actresses are the victims of unspoken rules, but in fact The unspoken rules of male actors are often even worse. Male actors not only have to experience harassment from the opposite sex, but also unavoidable toying from the same sex. This also makes male actors often need to endure humiliation and bear the burden to fight a bloody way, but men are stronger and more tenacious than women. So it creates the illusion of the outside world.

The same is true. Although actresses are easily named "vase", it is far easier for actresses to make a name for themselves than for male actors. Once they become famous, chick movies become instant hits, and their sexy images stand out, etc. , relying on their own advantages to achieve the effect is often very easy. But male actors trying to follow the same path have little effect. That's why Hollywood actresses are changing at a much faster rate than men.

After the "New York Times" report came out, there was an uproar, and the entire public opinion was in a turmoil, and almost all the actors on the Internet were taken out for speculation. Of course, female producers and directors have become targets, and people have become more enthusiastic about the female producers in the "Los Angeles Times" report.

Later, large newspapers such as "San Francisco Chronicle" and "USA Today" all over the country successively reported on this "ticket swiping" incident, which brought the notorious female producer to the forefront.

At this time, this unknown female producer was not just condemned, she had become a real "witch", and all the news media were criticizing her as a model, as if to condemn this A famous female producer, the whole of Hollywood will be purified.

This is also a typical Hollywood trick. There are unspoken rules everywhere, but no one is willing to bear the infamy. At this time, there is a scapegoat, and naturally no one wants to let it go. All the sewage is poured on the female producer in one go. In fact, what the female producer experienced was what Michael Jackson experienced before. The only difference was that the Michael incident was fanned by the victims, which not only detonated sympathy but also made people hate the perpetrators even more; Victims, and there is no clear perpetrator, is just an industry phenomenon, so the overall momentum is not concentrated on one person.

At this time, Tracy only felt that all grass and trees were soldiers, she only felt that she might be exposed at any time, and then she would become a victim of the "witch trial". This feeling is very bad, making Tracy not only feel embarrassed on all sides, but also feel that she is standing on the edge of a cliff at this moment, the wind is raging, and her life is in jeopardy. But it happened to be hanged in the air again, unable to go up or down. This tightrope-walking panic and fear devoured her little by little. If things broke out in one go, it might be less painful, but eating away bit by bit like now makes her tormented.

Tracy doesn't know how long she can hold on, and she can't think of any solution: because she can't admit it, and she can't act rashly, otherwise once she doesn't attack herself and the blame is on her, everything will be gone. There is room for recovery. Therefore, she could only stand in place and continue to suffer.

The entire ticket-sweeping event was already a stormy sea, and the final thunderbolt followed, which did not give Tracy any chance to breathe.

"The Hollywood Reporter" officially confirmed the "Los Angeles Times" news for the first time. They strongly condemned the bad behavior of a female producer to smash the box office. This is a subversion and rebellion against the entire Hollywood rule, and they believe that this kind of behavior must be severely punished.

Although the "Hollywood Reporter" did not announce the name of the female producer, it is clear that the investigation in the circle has come to the fore, and the ticket swiping incident is true! For the public, the confirmation of the fact that the ticket was swiped was also accompanied by the confirmation of the unspoken event, which pushed the whole event to its peak, but... So who is the culprit?
