I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 45
[Chapter 45 Farce]
First, the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily, as Eric expected, once again exposed the photos of Julia leaving Eric’s house, and specifically mentioned the carnival party that Eric held at home, but put “Home Alone” “The events of the crew members’ participation were briefly mentioned, but the language was ambiguous and focused on describing that group of young and beautiful beauties.
Then some newspapers followed suit, and I don’t know where to find some specious revelations, which criticized Eric’s personal conduct. Eric gradually abandoned his girlfriend and had sex with underage girls after he became famous from an inspirational young man. Relationship, hang around the party life extravagant playboy.
“…Perhaps Eric Williams is indeed a talented young man, but after gaining huge wealth too easily, this young man obviously began to degenerate at an incomprehensible speed…”
“…just abandoned Wei Mo. The girlfriend of the period, after spending the spring night with Drew Barrymore, Eric Williams immediately changed to a new woman. According to the investigation, the big-mouthed beauty in the photo is the “Modern Cinderella” that is being released. The heroine in…”
“…It’s hard to imagine that Eric Williams would attack Drew, who was only 13 years old. I personally think there must be some hidden secrets in it. In any case, Eric G. Williams’ actions all touch California law. I seem to see a second Roman Polanski, equally talented director, committing the same unforgivable crime, in order to prevent Eric Williams As Roman Polanski absconded to avoid legal responsibilities, I think the Los Angeles police should take action against Eric Williams in time…”
Even some bottomless entertainment gossip newspapers can’t find more in After he broke the news, he began to fabricate it out of thin air, and for a time, the good public image that Eric had created was crumbling.
Soon, Fox reacted immediately after the storm showed signs of expanding.
“Back to Seventeen” produced by the other party is still in hot release, and has just bought out the overseas distribution rights of “Home Alone”. If Eric’s image as the actor and director is allowed to be damaged, he will suffer direct economic losses. Obviously myself.
As for Colombia, in addition to continuing to perform the contract in accordance with the gambling agreement, it is almost a completely indifferent attitude.
Some employees in Columbia’s negative publicity department also mentioned doing public relations for Eric to their bosses, but none of the proposals were approved.
Blunt Cohen was disgraced by Eric last time, and the high-level publicity department even doubted whether there would be Blunt Cohen’s inspiration behind these disturbances, so they were unwilling to take risks.
News Corp. started out as a print media company. It has played a lot of tricks to increase sales by smearing public figures, and it is also easy to deal with it when its own side is smeared.
Soon, under the negotiation between Fox and Eric himself, the counterattack was launched quickly. While changing Eric’s image through various media, Fox carefully selected a few recently released movies. The foundation is not very clean. The actors and directors followed the hype, and the North American newspapers seemed to be a little smoky for a while, and the focus on Eric was quickly distracted.
The public has gradually sensed an unusual meaning from this information. Although the media is good at manipulating people’s hearts, if they really blindly play the public as fools, they will be fooled in the end.
Soon, a not-so-famous “Hollywood Information” published a special commentary on the front page of the headline, completely exposing the undercurrents buried under the storm.
“Christmas Farce: It’s All About the Box Office”
“When the annual movie Christmas season is approaching,
the film companies that used their best to promote their works in previous years are using a series of despicable smear tactics to suppress competition this year. Rivals, everything started with the miraculous rise of a teenager named Eric Williams.”
“After the new week’s box office release, the combined box office of two Eric Williams-related films It has exceeded 100 million US dollars, especially the low-cost comedy “Home Alone”. After the second week’s box office rose against the trend, the third week still only saw a slight drop of 20% at the box office, with a box office of 23.15 million US dollars. $80 million, directly squeezed into the sixth place on the annual box office chart, the miracle has been unstoppable.”
“As we all know, the total box office and the number of moviegoers in the Christmas period are limited, and major film companies will gradually withdraw from a series of annual blockbusters. Therefore, in order to compete for box office share, Eric Williams himself has recently suffered from various All kinds of criticism and scandals seem logical.”
“Let’s not talk about Eric Williams’s own character, nor talk about what a series of his film and television stars who have been attacked by public opinion recently did. We just Here, I appeal to the major film companies to remain calm and return to the normal track of competition. By suppressing their opponents through abnormal means, they will only suffer the consequences in the end.”
The article in The Hollywood Information seems to be a signal that in the At the same time that major well-known newspapers reprinted it, the bigwigs behind the manipulation of this public opinion storm to knock Eric out of the dust had to restrain themselves, because they found that Eric was no longer alone, and News Corporation quickly The fierce counterattack clearly shows that Eric Williams has formed a stable alliance of interests with Fox.
Although some tabloids that are unwilling to give up the topic are entangled, most of the more influential newspapers have tacitly stopped attacking their competitors.
This turmoil seems to have passed.
A few days later, Eric, who was chased by the paparazzi and intercepted a little crazy, finally moved into the Beverly Hills mansion and closed the door tightly, so that Eric no longer had to look up through the window as he did in his North Hollywood apartment. I saw a paparazzi parked outside.
Jeffrey Hansen looked at the high wall outside the mansion, and rang the doorbell with some envy. After a few minutes, Eric opened the door and welcomed Jeffrey Hansen in.
Parking the car in front of the villa, Jeffrey Hansen asked, “Eric, what have you been doing at home recently? You haven’t gone out for several days, haven’t you?”
Eric was super depressed when it came to this. , Because the paparazzi would chase after him when he went out, Eric could only stay at home during this time. Compared with the happy life of the otaku in his previous life, this age without the Internet is really maddening.
“Writing novels, writing scripts, watching TV… Anyway, it’s boring. Now I don’t even dare to go out the door. Last time I just stopped by a convenience store to buy a bottle of drinks. The next day, the tabloids reported me to that The report that the cashier girl in the supermarket stretched out her claws.”
Jeffrey couldn’t help laughing happily when he heard it.
Eric led Jeffrey Hansen into the study on the second floor of the villa. Just as he entered, Jeffrey saw an oversized wooden writing board hanging on one wall of the study.
Dense newspaper clippings and manuscripts were stapled to the clipboard.
“What are these for?” Geoffrey asked curiously.
“It’s useless,” Eric stepped forward, tore off a newspaper clipping, and said with a smile, “I was bored at home, so I tried to analyze from the information in these gossip newspapers who was tossing me behind my back.”
Jeff Li joked: “You think you are Sherlock Holmes, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com If you can see this, those old fritters will be in vain.”
Eric shrugged, saying that he is indeed a comparison. Fortunately, because of the temporary interest alliance of Fox, it was pulled back from the brink of this turmoil.
Compared with Michael Jackson, who touched the interests of too many people in his previous life, but was tossed to death alone, Eric did not dare to ask for anything more.
Putting aside these thoughts, Eric asked, “By the way, Jeffrey, how are things going?”
After hearing this, Jeffrey took out the document from his briefcase with some resentment and said: ” You are a really laid-back boss, and you leave everything to me to do. I have already renovated the company’s office building, and it will take about half a month. Also, here are some information about some brokerage companies you asked me to find, Ai Rick, have you really decided to acquire the previous brokerage company?”
Eric took the information and said, “Of course, you have also seen about Stuart Runkel, CAA is now holding the other party tightly in his hands and waiting. Hit me, I can’t always cultivate stars for others.”
“However, the federal monopoly law stipulates that a film company cannot have an agent company at the same time.”
Eric flipped through the information in his hand and replied, “Of course I know this, and I didn’t plan to merge the two companies. In my vision, the film company and the brokerage company are completely independent, and there is no legal Question.”
“Forget it, you can figure it out for yourself, by the way, have you written the new movie script you said?”
Eric found a stack of manuscripts on the desk full of newspapers and handed it to Jeffrey: ” It’s written, can you read it first?”
