Eight Hundred and Sixty-Two Hearts Like a Rock

"Does this mean that I can start writing my autobiography and then my perfume?"

Lydia looked at Renly quietly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, this was the first time they met, she could capture the shallow smile on the corners of Renly's mouth and eyes, like a spring breeze, which left her impressed. Even old foxes like Andy can't help panicking, and even senior people like herself can't help but be troubled, but not Renly.

Was this because Renly was confident and calm, or was it because... Renly never really cared about the reputation and prestige of Vanity Fair?

"Or, are you still in a hurry now?" There was a hint of brisk teasing and irony in those elegant words, and Lydia couldn't help but chuckle.

"I don't know, you are still a fan of the Kardashian family." As a publicist, Lydia did not wait for Andy's introduction and chose to take the initiative.

Renly's words just now, the so-called autobiography and perfume, allude to the Kardashian family.

Without any work and no talent, they created topics and ratings through malicious hype and frantic rending, and created an entertainment industry chain. Now their family's autobiography, reality show, perfume, and clothing brands are mixed. Get up and running.

To put it simply, in the entertainment industry, malicious hype has never been a serious matter. On the contrary, it is a product of the era of "entertainment to death".

For Renly, the problem with this news is not the hype, at least not the ones that Entertainment Weekly blamed; it's the image, a professional image built over two years, now facing the hype. With the crisis of disintegration, all the foundations that have been established before will fall apart.

Lies, this is the core of the angry accusations of netizens.

The career plans of Daniel Day-Lewis and Robert Downey Jr. are different. There is no good or bad, just the difference in settings. After all, all roads lead to Rome. But there's something wrong with people thinking that Renly is Daniel, and now suddenly Renly is Robert.

With a simple joke, Renly cleared the fog and saw the essence of the matter. Is this wise, or just a coincidence? Lydia thought it was very interesting.

"No, I'm not." Renly shook his head, still with a warm smile on his face, "but I hope you are."

Lydia looked surprised, "Oh? Why?"

"because,

This means that your business ability is skilled enough. "When it comes to hype and PR, the Kardashian family is indeed the top presence in the entertainment industry. Renly's answer was unexpected, but reasonable.

Lydia laughed heartily, "Unfortunately, I am not. Their routines are the same, and they are not worthy of in-depth study." The strong confidence revealed in the words made people ignore her petite body, and the momentum formed above confrontation.

"So, what's your solution?" Renly cut into the core of today's topic, and after speaking, he showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I've been playing all day today, I'm a little tired, and I need to get up early tomorrow. Catch the plane. Please forgive my impatience and rudeness." The elegant gentleman's demeanor makes people feel at ease.

Nathan, who was standing next to him, interjected without warning and asked, "Are Anne and Alex okay?" But after asking, Nathan realized his rashness. There are more important things to discuss now, but he brought up irrelevant gossip.

However, Renly turned his head and said with a smile, "They're fine. Played all day today. Alex didn't feel sick, he really became Captain America today, wearing a uniform, and when he got back to the hotel, he Reluctant to take it off; Annie's dinner had some small problems, but fortunately it was resolved smoothly, and her body has been fine for the past two days, but after we go back to New York, we still need to do a good check."

This was Renly's longest speech after his return; and it was all useless gossip, describing everything carefully and earnestly. It's as if... as if Disneyland is the most important thing today compared to Entertainment Weekly's news crisis. In fact, Renly's actions at noon today have proved it.

Looking back, Renly looked at Lydia again, nodded apologetically, and cast a questioning look.

Lydia slowly digested the information she just got in her mind, but her words did not stop. "The solution to the matter is very simple: invite Heather Cross's family to come out and clarify..."

"Do not."

Before Lydia could speak, Renly shook her head and cut off the words bluntly, which made Lydia stunned for a moment, she thought she didn't explain clearly enough, "Just need them to clarify, all Things will all work out.”

At the heart of the problem is Heather-Cross, who has to tie the bell to untie the bell. What they need to do now is to solve the core problem; then cooperate with the clarification of the staff of Mount Sinai Hospital, as well as many clues such as Annie, Alex, and even the pioneer village, and speak out successively; finally, the statement of support from Renly's close friends.

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, things were simple. They only needed to draft a lawsuit to take "Entertainment Weekly" to court, requiring them to clarify the rumor and publish an apology.

Then came the PR work of cleaning up the mess, and they needed to slowly reshape Renly's image and remove the negative effects, an incredibly long process that would take at least three to six months. You can take it slow and take the long view.

However, Renly shook his head again and said decisively, "No. We will not invite the Crosses to clarify, and we will not ask anyone from Mount Sinai Hospital to come out for an interview."

Heather was buried. He wasn't able to attend the funeral, and he didn't even know when and where the funeral would take place.

He knew what the Cross couple meant, and now the last thing the couple wanted to see was himself, reminding them all the time that their daughter's last smile was at a concert, if there wasn't that concert ...

He also knew the mood of the Cross couple. What they needed now was clean, undisturbed clean. They had just lost their only daughter, the most important part of their lives. The last thing they need is the interruption and entanglement of the media.

He can't do it, and he doesn't want to do it.

As for Mount Sinai Hospital. It's not a press conference or a concert, it's a hospital, a paradise for children. For those seriously ill children, the world is too cruel and too terrible. They have almost no place to live. Mount Sinai Hospital is the final place of redemption.

A month ago, Renly had never tried to expose his life as a volunteer at the hospital, where he was nothing more than a helping volunteer, no more, no less.

A month later, Renly didn't want to disturb their lives first, because he knew better than anyone that these news outlets would do anything to make a splash, even better than Harvey Weinstein. Even more dirty.

"But..." Lydia tried to explain again.

"No buts." Renly came to a firm conclusion again.

Lydia felt panic for the first time, turned her head to look at Andy, cast a puzzled look, and seemed to ask, "What the hell is going on?"

Andy received Lydia's signal, looked at Renly, opened his mouth, but the next moment Renly turned his head and cast a calm gaze. In those eyes, the words of persuasion were stuck in his throat, and no sound came out.

"Miss Brooks." Renly's voice sounded again, "The method you mentioned is indeed the simplest and most direct method. But the problem is that this is not only known to you, but also of ordinary people. Readers of the book know that the easiest way to get the facts straight is to ask the person. In law, this is called calling a witness."

That warm voice concealed a thin thorn.

"If that's the only way. I don't see the need to hire a professional." Renly's smile rose and his eyes flickered. "What do you think?"

Lydia choked involuntarily.

Before tonight, she had heard rumors in the industry and followed Andy's advice: Renly was not a vase at the mercy of her, nor was it before, nor is she now; it was evidently not hype that Renly could achieve today. But now it seems that her cognition is still too shallow.

Taking a deep breath, Lydia put her clutter out of the way for a moment. She didn't know why the Crosses and Mount Sinai were taboo, and she didn't want to snoop now; but she knew that the first plan was shot, and she had to come up with a second plan, a third, a fourth One, to prove their strength.

"I see." In just a breath, Lydia cleared her mind and changed the plan again, "Since 'Entertainment Weekly' is ready to hype, then we will continue the hype. As far as I can remember The incident, the Seattle incident, the Natalie incident, the concert incident this time, all were reported by 'Entertainment Weekly' and promoted the follow-up, right?"

"Obviously, we've never been involved in any hype. From start to finish, the hype was put forward by 'Entertainment Weekly' and poured dirty water on us, and in the end we got both fame and fortune. If my words are wrong, you can Point it out." Lydia said quickly, "Then let's challenge the work ethic of 'Entertainment Weekly' to see who is hyping it up and who is maliciously concocting the news. Solve the whole thing at the root. "

The root of the incident was not the concert, nor Heather, nor Renly; it was the persevering "Entertainment Weekly". Now, Lydia is ready to take the bottom line, give the uncrowned kings a head-on blow, and turn the whole thing upside down.

So bold, so crazy, so ruthless. Really eye-opening.

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'd love to be a part of it. Is there anything I can do for you, please?"8)
