v2 Chapter 821： Sadism

In all fairness, despite being well-known with the "Fast and Furious" series, in the talented Hollywood, Van Diesel, whose work is lackluster, may only be regarded as a second-tier star, except for the "Fast and Furious" series. , The other films he participated in were all works with little response.

If it weren't for accidental death, it would never have caused such a big wave.

For celebrities who are an important symbol of mass consumer culture, death often results in a great increase in celebrity appeal. This is a somewhat cruel and absurd fact, especially when Hollywood stars are proud of their horseshoes. A young death can even more arouse the sigh of the public, which in turn leads to recognition and worship of celebrities.

From James Dean who played the "Beat Generation", to Raven Phoenix who fell in the midst of drugs and frivolousness, to the prosperous and declining Jonathan Brandeis.

More recently, the sudden death of Heath Ledger, who died of overdose due to indulging in prescription drugs, not only reaped the memory of the world, but also helped "The Dark Knight" earn a lot of money, but also made the best supporting actor Oscar in one fell swoop. Conferred.

In today’s social context of popular culture, the essence of celebrities can be described as a materialized image. As a commercialized pure image that empties content, celebrities are destined to be unable to escape the constraints of the commercial system, and even death cannot bring out of business circles. The shackles.

Not to mention the leading actors of the famous Hollywood "Fast and Furious 5", even the big villain in the film, Mel Gibson, who has disappeared in Hollywood for many years, also stood up in this marketing feast.

"Van Diesel is a good man. He is diligent and has never been dazzled by Hollywood. He knows that life is much more important than Hollywood. He must live like that. He is lucky to know him."

In the lounge of the Duke’s manor’s eye-shaped villa, a TV screen is showing Mel Gibson for an interview. Duke sat on the sofa, propped his chin with his left hand on the armrest, and calmly watched the interview end.

The face on TV is obviously old and looks a little strange. Duke almost forgot about him. Mel Gibson has indeed not appeared in the mainstream media in North America for many years.

He had long known that Van Diesel and David Ellison had invited Mel Gibson back from Australia to star in "Fast and Furious 5." He didn't interfere much, because it couldn't change Mel Gibson's fate at all.

It wasn't until Van Diesel's death in a car accident that Universal Pictures and Sky Studios used it to make a big publicity that Duke remembered that Mel Gibson was still available.

Tina Fei was sitting next to him, quickly flipping through a document sent by Pani Kelly, after confirming it and using it again. Passed it to Duke.

She told Duke, "After so many years, this Australian savage still hasn't made any progress."

Duke opened it and flipped it briefly, placed it on the coffee table between the two sofas, and then nodded to Tina Fei. "Go ahead as planned."

"Ok."

Tina Fei picked up the document, stood up and left the lounge.

The propaganda of "Fast and Furious 5" in the past ten days has been extremely fierce. With the help of Van Diesel's death in a car accident, the "Avengers" was almost completely suppressed.

Although Duke doesn't think this will affect the opening results of the "Avengers". But "Fast and Furious 5" will be released on the next weekend of "Avengers", if the emotional effect occurs. "Fast and Furious 5" hit the box office, and the box office of "Avengers" will definitely suffer a huge hit next weekend.

He is well aware of the terrifying effect of this emotional effect.

Therefore, Duke and Warner Bros. have formulated some corresponding strategies, although it is impossible to eliminate the impact of Van Diesel's death in a car accident. But it also destroys part of the emotional effect.

""Fast and Furious 5" is a pig that has been blown to the sky. Don't overconsume Van Diesel in marketing."

In Warner-related media, voices like this have gradually appeared.

Paul Walker is undoubtedly an important person who misses and promotes Van Diesel's influence behind him, and many media have targeted him.

Warner’s TMZ website has issued a series of articles revealing, “Most of Paul Walker’s friends are photographers, stunt staff and other staff, and they are not at all compatible with actor Van Diesel, but he tried his best to hide it from the outside world. Although people talk in public and promote the film, they try to avoid contact with each other in private. After Van Diesel’s death was announced, Paul Walker immediately flew to California to deal with many funeral affairs and visit his family. These actions It was ridiculous and mocking in the eyes of his friends."

And Mel Gibson, Warner’s many media have disclosed that he not only takes drugs, but also has contacts with several Australian and Middle Eastern extremist organizations...

However, none of these can really affect "Fast and Furious 5".

The real attack point was Van Diesel himself.

Under the encouragement of some people, Van Diesel’s current girlfriend Paloma Gimanez accepted an exclusive interview with TMZ. Not only did he announce that he would formally prosecute the dead Van Diesel, but also handed in some key evidence. In the hands of the media.

Those were two video recordings. These recordings were immediately displayed in an extremely conspicuous place by TMAZ, Instant Sharing, Google and Warner’s online media, thanks to the effect of Van Diesel’s death in a car accident. In just one day, the number of web hits exceeded 15 million.

Those who have watched the video found that Van Diesel, whom they remembered and sympathized with, was completely different from what they had imagined. There was a perverted heart under that thick body.

The first video was 8 minutes long. Van Diesel also abused his girlfriend Paloma Gimanez for eight minutes. The strong man in the film not only slapped his girlfriend, but also held a bat. Angrily shouted: "I really want to knock off your head with a cricket bat, you have no brain and soul, I will bury you in the garden!"

The second video is a conversation between Van Diesel and his girlfriend Paloma Gimanez, in which he admits to abuse his girlfriend.

In the video, Paloma Gimanez accused him and said: "What kind of man are you, and I have a baby in my arms, so you just knocked out my teeth."

And Van Diesel sneered and said, "Oh, are you angry? You deserve it."

Then Van Diesel cursed wildly like a sexual perversion: "You have not met my sexual needs. There is a problem with your function. You have to smile at all times."

When Paloma Gimanez said that he was going to stay at his girlfriend’s house temporarily, Van Diesel said more madly: "You are better to her than to me. I am so good to you, but you see me as It's like garbage."

Paloma Gimanez had to persuade him: "You should see a doctor, it seems that you are very ill."

Van Diesel sneered and said, "I don't need a doctor, I need a functional woman!"

Then he fought Paloma Gimanez and even used a whip.

After exposing the evidence to the media, Paloma Gimanez formally reported to the Los Angeles police and admitted that he had been sexually abused by Van Diesel.

The Los Angeles police also announced that even if Van Diesel is dead, they will thoroughly investigate the case.

The media has become more exciting. The voices advocating Van Diesel and discrediting Van Diesel are everywhere, but those who advocate Van Diesel can only talk about feelings, while those who discredit him show up. This is true evidence such as video.

This will undoubtedly affect many people who sympathize with Van Diesel.

Duke and Warner Bros. do not expect this to have a negative impact on "Fast and Furious 5", but only hope to reduce some of the emotional effects of Van Diesel's death in a car accident.

Two days later, the adult film actor Wilt Kowal from the San Fernando Valley also released a video to the media, in which the protagonists are her and Van Diesel.

The adult film actor who took the initiative to stand up was obviously using this to hype, but the clear video made her words quite believable.

In an interview, she claimed that during Paloma Gimanez’s pregnancy, she and Van Diesel had **** with Van Diesel in her office and apartment 8 times, and that the other party did have abusive habits, and also expressed her willingness to serve Paloma. ?Gimanez testified, willing to be tested by a polygraph.

Although this cannot fundamentally change the direction of the wind, it has actually affected the public's sympathy for Van Diesel's death in a car accident.

In the reply column of Van Diesel's official instant sharing account, there is no longer a single word of praise and remembrance, and there are more different voices.

"What you did is simply disgusting."

"A scum like you should die sooner."

In particular, several women’s rights protection organizations in the United States also claimed to be involved in the abuse of Van Diesel and Paloma Gimanez. They also stated that if Paloma Gimanez’s evidence is true, People like Van Diesel deserve no sympathy from any woman.

Hollywood is a battlefield without gunpowder. All parties involved in this game fight for money and fame. This is a circle no less intense than any business circle. Duke has never been afraid of competing with any competition.

Of course, Universal Pictures and Sky Studios will not sit back and continue to fight back, but Duke and Warner Bros. have been prepared, and "The Avengers" is far more solid than the foundation of the "Fast and Furious" series, and it is not Anyone can shake it.

A new summer holiday with fierce competition has also kicked off. To be a winner, you must not only be yourself, but also suppress your competitors. Every company in Hollywood is doing this. The kind that is released smoothly without competition. The situation of collecting box office is only in fantasy.

In addition to discrediting Van Diesel, Duke has not relaxed the promotion of the "Avengers." (To be continued~^~)
