Use the media to attack the media.
This is not without serious news led by "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" and professional magazines led by "new Yorker" and "time weekly". They have always complained about the entertainment media led by News Corporation and "Entertainment Weekly". On the one hand, it is because the entertainment culture of the Internet age is gradually losing control; On the other hand, after the national entertainment, the authenticity and accuracy of news plummeted.
Strictly speaking, what the media attack is not the peer media, but the trend that the whole industry is gradually declining, gradually out of control and gradually withering.
Lydia chose the way of cutting corners, even directly skipping the facts accused by "Entertainment Weekly" and Harvey Weinstein's behind the scenes promotion. Instead, she aimed at the ugly phenomenon of the whole industry and completely reversed the situation from the essence. Courage and courage are really a flash in the eye.
However, it is simple to say, but far from easy to operate.
All of them sat around one after another, detailed and meticulous launched a comprehensive discussion, and began to assign tasks.
Now that we have decided to eliminate the root of the problem, we must thoroughly solve the problem: the discussion about the background of lanli's wealth, the accusation about lanli's malicious hype, the envy about lanli's rapid rise... All of them, they still have a lot of work to do in order to prevent future trouble and restore their reputation and image.
When lanli came back, it was just a quarter past ten o'clock. The main consideration was Annie's work and rest time, and both of them were tired, so they went back to the city to have dinner, and then sent them back to the hotel. So it's not too late to come back.
After midnight, the meeting came to an end.
However, Lydia and Andy still did not leave. The former, as a public relations person, is responsible for making the whole plan and contacting the media; As a broker, the latter needs to make use of the power of the whole innovative artist agency, and his work is definitely not easy.
Langley went back to the room.
Take a shower to get rid of tiredness; But I didn't rush to blow dry my hair and get ready to sleep tonight. Instead, I came to the balcony and looked at the deep night of Los Angeles. The dark purple sky lightly stirred up a halo, which was full of rose color. It was vast and beautiful, revealing the different atmosphere and charm from the east coast.
There is an unlighted cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the smell of tobacco is floating under his nose; Tonight, there is a burning impulse.
Deep down in my heart, after all, there is no calm on the surface.
For the condemnation and accusation of entertainment weekly and other media, lenley really doesn't care; More precisely, during the Berlin Film Festival, he foresaw the development of things. Even if it wasn't "one person's concert", there were bound to be other opportunities, other excuses and other events. Sooner or later, this wave will come.
The difference is just when and to what extent.
As a talented student who once majored in journalism and an upper class graduate from Cambridge University, Langley firmly believes that if he devotes himself to journalism and becomes a journalist, he will certainly be able to break out of the world. He knows the purpose of journalists, he also knows the means of journalists, he also knows the way of journalists.
Lenley has never been afraid of the media. In essence, there is no difference between last year's Seattle event and this year's concert event. Journalists are just longing for the hot spots and gimmicks.
What's really upsetting is the people, the fans and the movie fans.
Standing outside the besieged city, lanli once told himself that other people's eyes, after all, are other people's opinions. As a public figure living under the spotlight, he can not win everyone's love, nor is it necessary, even Tom Hanks is no exception. If he always cares about other people's views and opinions, and even changes himself for the sake of other people's thoughts, he will lose himself in the end.
But standing in the besieged city, Lan Li realized that the truth is very simple, but the real implementation is very difficult. In the final analysis, he is an ordinary flesh and blood, not a robot. He can't be indifferent when he hears the curses and provocations, the insults and taunts. Maybe, he is not as strong as he imagined.
He thought he could not care. But he can't.
This afternoon, at Disneyland, someone spat in front of him.
He didn't vomit on him, but just fell beside him, but the man was fierce and despicable and called out, "liar! You make me sick. " Then, like a performance, he raised his hands high and repeated, "disgusting!"
It was a child of about fifteen or sixteen years old, full of youth and childishness. Such vicious, vulgar and ugly behavior, when it happens to a child, and when it happens to Disneyland, often brings multiple shocks.
Annie and Alex, who are standing next to Langley, are scared. Alex rushed up with a fist and yelled, "what are you talking about! what you were saying? I won't allow you to say that
Annie held lanli's right hand tightly. She was at a loss, and her body was shaking slightly.
Langley caught Alex in time and pulled him back. But Alex stood in the same place, his face aggrieved, "why did he say that to you? Why? " With that, tears fell down, but he grasped his fist, stubbornly twisted his cheek, and bit his lower lip, unwilling to show his vulnerability.
At that moment, Lan Li was so embarrassed. He could raise his fist and give the child a good lesson; However, he has no way to stop youyou from speaking to the public, and even less to prevent those eyes and eyes from harming the two children.
Did he really do something wrong? Shouldn't he hold a concert willfully? Shouldn't he just hold on to an agreement? Shouldn't he insist on his dream? If, if Heather is really because of him
Lan Li closed his eyes tightly and cut off all his wishful thinking. He couldn't let the thought go down. It was too heavy and almost breathless.
He once thought that the dream of "Don Quixote" has really come true, not only because of the success of the concert and Grammy, but also because George strand, Herbert Jones and Heather Chloe have really understood the essence of the album.
He once thought that he was no longer a person in pursuit of his dream. Those figures who raised their hands to cheer, those tearful and happy faces, they became their partners.
He once thought that his persistence, his ideal and his soul had really found a confidant. Those figures full of Lincoln Center, those figures full of Madison Square Garden, they really understand "anti cancer me", they really understand "Don Quixote".
I've worked hard for such a long time, persisted for such a long time, and struggled for such a long time. At a certain moment today, he began to deny himself and everything. It turns out that everything is just his wishful thinking
Wishful thinking to believe that dreams are real; I believe that Don Quixote is real; Wishful thinking to believe that efforts to run, will eventually reach the end; Wishful thinking to believe that in this thorny road, he is not alone.
At the end of the day, he is still alone. All of them, all of a sudden, disappeared under the keyboard of those people, as if all of them could not compare with the weight of a word; And it's a sentence from Entertainment Weekly. So easy, so ridiculous, so ridiculous.
"You should understand that meaningless persistence is stupidity, not only a waste of your time and energy, but also an obstacle to everyone around you. You are not stupid, you should at least know how to give up. You're not a genius. You've never been. There are not so many geniuses and miracles in the world. You are just a fool who daydreams. The chance of success is equal to zero! Dream? It's the most useless word in the world. It's just an excuse for the losers to comfort themselves. "
George Hall's words were like nightmares. Just when Langley thought that they had already disappeared, they appeared again, laughing at his embarrassment.
Full of bitter mouth, can not spit out, but also can not swallow.
Powerlessness, a deep sense of powerlessness. After rebirth, Lan Li felt powerless for the first time.
From the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to be running wildly towards his dream. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to enjoying life and interpreting the color of life.
But today, he is suddenly at a loss. It seems that all the running is blind and nihilistic. When he opens his eyes, there is a long gray and black sky, and a heavy sense of powerlessness is like water plants winding around his ankles. The more he struggles, the more tense he is; The harder you work, the more painful it is.
He took a deep breath suddenly. The dry tobacco breath mixed with the cold and cool of the night, and cut into his chest. He looked down at the cigarette at his fingertips. The cigarette holder was actually bitten. He drew a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth and played with the cigarette.
Ignite, not ignite? light? Or not?
The surge of thoughts has always been unable to make a decision. Then, Lan Li realized his indecision. This is not him, this is not like him, immersed in self pity, unable to extricate themselves, deny themselves, doubt themselves, give up.
After the transformation of the two generations, he thought that Chu Jiashu had been left in the memory of the last life forever, but now he had made the old mistake again. Now, he's not chujiashu, he's lanli, lanli hall.
Even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he walks alone, he will still walk with his head up and his head held high until the end of his life.
