Eight Hundred and Seventy-Two the Truth Is Revealed
Bradley-Adams stared at the computer screen intently, his thoughts flooded, and his hands quickly tapped on the keyboard, recording his thoughts into words.
"Hype Gate", from the origin to the rise to the boiling, the fermentation of events is getting more and more intense.
In the beginning, Bradley was more about defending Renly's reputation, finding the truth of the matter, and trying 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 rotten phenomenon that pervades the entire society, hopes to use his pen to truly fulfill the duties of a journalist: to monitor and guide society by public opinion.
Maybe, for Entertainment Weekly, for Harvey Weinstein, it's just another hype, just another Academy PR run for awards season; but for Bradley, he Still retains the work ethic and ideals of a journalist, and he doesn't want to lose those qualities.
"Bradley." A colleague's voice came from his ear, but Bradley didn't look back. He was still quickly tapping the keyboard with both hands. The other party called again twice, and finally came over, "Your insider The phone, there is a clue that it could provide direct evidence of the Renly-Hall incident."
Bradley remained unmoved, engrossed. For the "New York Times", similar news threads appear every day; and recently the news focus is at its peak, with an average of at least 20 calls per day related to it.
"Bradley, the caller said it was Cross. Heather Cross's parents." The other party added again, which suddenly made Bradley stand up suddenly and grumbled, "Why not earlier Say! What line?"
"Number two." The other party said conditioned reflexively. After speaking, he began to protest, "Hey, you ignored me. I gave you such an important clue, how are you going to repay me?"
Bradley waved his hand as if to dismiss the puppy, "Next time, I'll invite you to dinner." Then he ignored the explanation and connected the second line, "This is Bradley Adams, please speak."
"Mr. Adams, this is Derek Cross."
"Hey, Mr. Cross." This is not the first communication between Bradley and Derek. Before the concert, Bradley interviewed Derek and Allie.
After the recent news broke, Bradley also clearly knew that interviewing the Cross and his wife to clarify all the negative news as the parties involved was the most direct and straightforward way.
But Andy Rogers called and stressed that Renly did not want to disturb the Crosses, nor did he want to disturb Mount Sinai Hospital. Therefore, the development of the whole event deviated from the track,
But unexpectedly burst out with a different kind of brilliance.
Derek hesitated for a moment. "Sorry, I just called now. Allie and I only saw the news today, so we understand the situation. Now... how is Renly?"
"Renly is fine," Bradley replied. "You know, Renly is an admirable young man, he's fine." Even as a reporter, looking back at the ins and outs, Bradley is Still 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 hard to describe, but for Renly, he knew that he owed him a "sorry", "Uh, Ellie and I After discussing it, I think we need to clarify the facts to the media, it is not right to let Renly bear such infamy. Heather... Heather will not agree."
"Are you sure?" Bradley was hesitant. "After the incident, I actually thought about contacting you, but... Renly didn't want to disturb you. You know, I also feel sorry for Heather's departure. It's a pity that Renly doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Heather, and once you stand up, those reporters will haunt you."
Standing next to the phone, Ellie heard Bradley's words clearly, covered her mouth, and the cry still leaked out.
Derek's words also leaked a nasal voice, and his vision became blurred, "Jesus Christ." Derek clenched his fists in annoyance, and indescribable regret and anger stirred in his chest.
"No...I mean, I don't mind. We all know the truth. Besides, Heather doesn't want to see this situation, her dreams, her world, only Renly can really understand." Li..." Derek's words were also interrupted in a choked voice, "Well, Renly has been sticking to his promise, and Heather wouldn't want to break it."
Bradley nodded. "I respect your decision. So, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Derek took a deep breath, "Allie and I want to hold a press conference, but we don't know how to contact the media, can I trouble you to help?"
"Of course, of course there is no problem!" Bradley agreed neatly. "You tell me the time and place, and you can leave the follow-up matters to me."
After hanging up the phone, Bradley sat on his desk, dazed.
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 full and 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 anticipate what kind of artist Renly would become and what place he would occupy in history.
Taking a deep breath and withdrawing the wandering thoughts, Bradley began to get busy.
A week, seven days have passed since the shocking special report of "Entertainment Weekly".
In the Bible, God created the world in seven days; in real life, seven days have also experienced earth-shaking, "hype door" has gradually evolved into a typical case of society, and has become the condensation of the entire era, but there is still no debate. It stopped, but it caused more and more discussion and controversy.
Until today.
Derek Cross and Elle Cross—the parents of Heather Cross—officially held a press conference to tell the truth in front of more than 130 reporters. It's not just a "one-person concert", but also a review of the past three years.
From Heather's illness, to Heather's dream, to Heather's cheer, Renly has always played an important role; finally came the turmoil of the past two weeks, and..."A One-man Concert" .
"This is a concert for one person, a concert for Heather, and a concert for every dreamer. This is Heather's last wish in life." As she spoke, Ellie was already weeping, Derry K tries to take over from his wife, but Ellie refuses, which is her obligation and the least she can do to make amends.
Refreshing herself, 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 was not able to stick to the day when he fulfilled his promise. Renly sang the song at the Beauty Awards and fulfilled their promise."
The truth finally revealed its original appearance. The song "The Beast" was a gift from Renly to Heather, and it was also a dream that Renly realized in place of Heather; the three Grammy acceptance speeches were never a show or intentional, but really came from the heart shouts and proclamations.
After speaking, Ellie was completely devastated, and Derek took over, explaining everything that had happened over the past week and Renly's efforts to protect them.
As the Cross and his wife broke the silence, the Mount Sinai Hospital, which was only a little late, finally learned the ins and outs of the matter.
The nurses in the hospital took the initiative to come forward and accept the interview. The past three years were all presented in the media. Every Christmas, Renly presents gifts to the hospital, and the children in the hospital made for Renly. Gift, this is the best proof.
Going a step further, the parents of Annie Silliman and Alex Ritchie also came forward, telling their stories and the efforts Renly made for them.
Not only that, after the overwhelming swearing and condemnation on the Internet gradually dissipated like an ebb tide, those supportive voices gradually emerged, slowly gaining the upper hand, from the audience who had personally experienced the "one-person concert", but also from the audience. For listeners who attended the "Pioneer Village Night" in person.
The puzzle of truth, piece by piece, gradually pieced together, and 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 hype the news, and when the whole world was easily bringing down that man, he did not feel sorry for himself, he did not feel sorry for himself, nor did he feel sorry for himself. He was bitter and hated deeply, but silently guarded his inner persistence and belief, and made a strong counterattack; and always insisted on himself and remained unmoved.
Like "Don Quixote".
How lively, how sensational and how noisy the previous news wave was; how solemn, how turbulent and how heavy the shock echoes now. The lies of "Entertainment Weekly" reveal the whole picture, confirming the rhetoric of "US Weekly", the condemnation of "The New York Times" and "The New Yorker", and the cruelty and embarrassment of the real society.
Overnight, "Entertainment Weekly" became a rat across the street, and all netizens and all media outlets vented their anger towards "Entertainment Weekly" and Cornell-McGregor. People are always forgetful. They selectively forget what they have done, and then point the sword of judgment at the culprit with righteous words and condescension, so as to cover up their panic and embarrassment.
The frenzy of public opinion erupted ten times or even a hundred times the energy. 8)
