Eight Hundred and Seventeenth Summon Order

"...Haha, then let's wait and see." Saying goodbye to his colleagues, Bradley Adams still had a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face, returned to his place, turned on the computer screen, and started busy again.

The awards season has entered the sprint stage, and the news is getting more lively, buzzing and vigorous every day. For the reporters, it is even more lively than Christmas.

As a senior reporter for the entertainment section of the New York Times, Bradley now has at least three unfinished manuscripts on hand.

One is an interview with Brad Pitt, the transcript of the recording the day before yesterday, which has not been sorted yet; the other is an exclusive interview report of "Hugo", not an interview with Martin Scorsese, but an interview with Paramount's entire behind-the-scenes report. The production team; there is also an interview with producer Scott Rudin. "Extremely loud, very close" has become the biggest dark horse of this year's awards season, and the attention is really not small.

However, after opening the document, Bradley thought about it, opened the web page again, and typed the name "Renly-Hall" into the Google search window. Although he has just finished reporting on the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival, this does not prevent him from continuing to pay attention to the latest developments of Renly.

Looking around, in addition to the chaos and madness of Renly arriving at JFK Airport, the waves brought by a Berlin Silver Bear are not even as lively as the news that the "artist" crew met with fans in Boston.

Closing the webpage window, a flash of inspiration flashed in Bradley's mind, and he opened the official page of Studio Eleven by surprise.

To be honest, Bradley doesn't know why he did it. He has no interest in music, he has no interest in Studio Eleven, and even his interest in the album "Don Quixote" is very limited. But today, he did just that, and he didn't even understand it himself. So much so that when he looked at the official website of Studio Eleven, he didn't know what he was going to do or what he wanted to do.

Helplessly, he shook his head with a chuckle, moved the mouse, and was about to close the page when he saw the announcement in the center of the page, his eyes stopped, and subconsciously, the mouse had already clicked on the announcement.

"To someone,

This is Renly Hall. Now, I am here to officially issue an invitation letter to invite you to my solo concert. This is a private concert, just for one person's concert, I hope you can arrive at the scene in person, otherwise, this is a concert without an audience. I kept my promise, now it's your turn.

Time: February 16, 2012, at 8:00 in the evening.

Location: Madison Square Garden, New York.

Theme: A solo concert.

Sincerely,

Renly-Hall. "

Bradley opened his mouth, his face full of astonishment. After going through hundreds of battles, he still couldn't turn his mind around. The amount of information was really too large. What is going on?

February 16th, today is already the 11th, to be precise, it is 9:30 pm on the 11th, they are working overtime, there is not much time left until the 12th, so anxious, so in a hurry?

Concert, where did the idea come from? Now is the stage of the awards season, and Jean Dujardin of "The Artist" and George Clooney of "Descendants" have taken the lead. , why did Renly hold a concert all of a sudden?

A certain person, who is this certain person, generally refers to every fan, or a specific person. The problem is, Renly is an actor, not a singer, where does he have any fans? Wait, the idea of ​​a concert is so ridiculous, so crazy, doesn't Renly realize it?

Madison Square Garden, this is a concert venue that can accommodate 20,000 people. It is also the top and most high-end concert venue in the United States. It is even called a holy place! If it is only for one person, there is no need to go to the garden at all; but if it is for commercial performance, there are only four days left, which is far from enough—

Even for top popular singers like Adele, Bruno Mars, Madonna, and Beyoncé, when they hold concerts in the garden, tickets must be pre-sold at least two weeks or even a month in advance, so that attendance is guaranteed. In just four days, the attendance rate may be less than half, and the organizers directly lost money and vomited blood.

What happened in the past twelve hours?

Is this a propaganda trick?

If so, why did he choose to publish it on the website of Studio Eleven? The publicity effect of the awards season is infinitely close to zero. He searched the news just now, but there was no report, not even one family, not even keywords. Appears; if not, then... what is this for? Really just for someone's concert?

But, why is it so hasty, even aside from the attendance rate, there are only four days to prepare, this is too rushed? Why was there no news at all before, let alone propaganda, even news, even more low-key than "Don Quixote"? Why choose at this time, the most raucous phase of awards season.

Could it be that... Renly is going to propose? One person's concert, specifically the marriage proposal?

If you think about it, this possibility is also full of loopholes. Not to mention that Renly's love object was kept secret so thoroughly, so far no one has been able to capture any clues, the two are about to get married, but now they choose such a high-profile marriage proposal, which is not normal in itself; It's absurd that it's a concert, and it's a concert in the garden.

Can't explain it, everything can't be explained.

Every possibility, after left and right analysis, is self-contradictory; every situation, placed under the same scene, is inexplicable!

Over and over again, over and over again, Bradley was still puzzled. "April Fool's Day joke?" This is the most reliable guess, but there are still fifty days until April Fool's Day!

Sharply, the hairs on Bradley's body stood up, and he smelled the unusual, the smell of the news. Sitting in his chair, after thinking for a while, without too much hesitation, Bradley stood up in a hurry, grabbed his voice recorder and camera, and quickly left the office.

The editor-in-chief left the pantry with the coffee and saw Bradley approaching, "Where are you going?" But Bradley didn't answer, just hurried past, causing a gust of wind, "Hey, Brad- Hurry up and give me that piece of Pete, the deadline is today." However, Bradley's figure has disappeared, leaving only a door that keeps shaking.

...

Cornell-McGregor scratched his head vigorously, his temper was extremely irritable, and the editor-in-chief shot him two more manuscripts just now, and the gimmick was not enough. Sitting in his workshop, Cornell clutched his hair tightly, racking his brains to think about the possibilities.

In the fierce competition of awards season, it is definitely not an easy task to stand out. The rules and regulations are followed step by step, and the ending is often unable to cause any waves. "Entertainment Weekly" is an entertainment magazine. Entertainment to death is the absolute theme. They are not serious news and do not need to report any presidential speeches or international situations. Fun, fun, fun, that's their only goal.

A flash of light flashed in his mind, Cornell quickly typed on the keyboard, and then launched a carpet-like search. After nearly 30 minutes of tossing, he still found nothing, but he was still not discouraged, and he did not give up.

Suddenly, he saw a page. He doesn't even remember how he got to this page, it's just a series of clicks, links, and forwards, but the content on the page is very interesting to him.

The concert was still a concert at Madison Square Garden, and it was still the most in full swing in the Academy's public relations during the awards season. Does this even require thinking? Still need to explain?

Hype, absolutely hype, hype of Chiguoguo!

What is a solo concert, obviously to attract fans to go; what is low-key, what is hurried, it is not just to be a bitch / son and still have to set up a memorial archway, or else it will be defeated in the college public relations, and the skills of the donkey are too poor, so I came up with such a clumsy and stupid plan temporarily; what is the essential difference between abiding by the agreement, dog/fart/nothing, and the high-profile use of "anti-cancer me" last year for publicity?

Last year the "Seattle Expedition" became a laughing stock, a stepping stone, and a good name for that guy. This year, he will not make mistakes again, the same puddle, he will not be fooled twice in a row. On the other hand, that guy must have gotten carried away with his own complacency, and he actually repeated his tricks. Is he already so arrogant that he treats all the reporters as idiots?

The others, Cornell doesn't know, but he's definitely not an idiot.

Cornell can be 100% sure that this is a hype. But the question is, what is the purpose of the hype?

Grammy? That self-righteous megalomaniac trying to win Grammys? It's a possibility; but if it's just the Grammys, it seems too easy, and the Grammys are only a few days away from voting, and it's not very convincing, so it's all about the Oscars?

This year's Oscars are a melee, George Clooney and Jean Dujardin are currently leading the way, but the competition is still fierce. If a concert can really attract attention and strongly announce the return of Europe, coupled with the prestige brought by the Berlin Silver Bears, it is possible to turn the tide of the war.

Next week is the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

With all the clues connected, Cornell slapped the table hard. He understands, he understands everything, the guy's plan has been seen through by him. Now, all he needs to do is collect evidence, enough evidence, and then nail this guy to the pillar of shame, leaving absolutely no room for turning over.

Cornell jumped up, the chair fell to the ground, the desk swayed, and everyone in the office cast their eyes in surprise. But Cornell kept his mouth firmly shut. This was an exclusive news, and he would never leak a rumor before the manuscript came out. So Cornell pulled the corners of his mouth at his colleagues and smiled, Then he turned around quickly and left the office in a hurry.

The battle begins now.
