Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 174 Internet public relations, the first show

They were talking about the key points in the hotel room, but at this moment Sarah received a call, and her expression became very strange. The people who were talking also shut up and looked over curiously.There was disbelief in Sarah's eyes, but a smile flashed quickly, as if she heard some joke, she couldn't help laughing, but she wanted to laugh but held back, her shoulders trembled slightly, which really made the other people baffled, until she Biting his lips and suppressing a smile, he turned to the phone and asked back, "Have you tracked down the email address? There are no other correspondence in the email? This is a cautious guy."

When Sarah said these words, she glanced vaguely at Harvey Weinstein who was sitting diagonally opposite.She ended the call with a few sentences, and faced the few curious babies sitting in front of her, she cleared her throat and said seriously: "The person who bought the video has already taken action. He cut off the first half of the video, and only the first half of the video is left." Next, the part where Leon and Michael hit someone."

"Can you trace the address of the other party? Maybe you can trace the network IP, give me this information, and I will be responsible for the next thing." Harvey Weinstein did not ask Sarah to trace the identity information of the other party , As the general manager of PR Awards, he is obliged to handle these difficult events for his clients, so Sarah just hesitated a little, and reported a string of IP addresses to Harvey Weinstein graciously.

This is just a small episode, everyone is glad that "Appearance" is Sarah's company, otherwise... Hey, this is not sure, maybe the other party has sent the video to many websites!

If he can't control it, he can only ask Harvey Weinstein to use his contacts to greet the media and websites he is familiar with. Naturally, Leonardo will pay for this public relations fee.As a bully, Leonardo was not only subjected to "inhuman abuse" physically, but also his wallet was swept away by the vampire-like media.After Harvey finished making a round of phone calls, it was already late at night, and everyone continued to discuss the premiere of "A Game of Cat and Mouse" the next day...

One night passed, and the next morning, all the newspapers and periodicals appeared on the stage.Just like the "Leonardo restaurant beating incident" on the Internet was blown up, the next day's newspapers also published it on the headlines, but compared to the extreme terms on the Internet, the attitude of the paper media is more objective, and some even The action quickly got interviews with other diners in the restaurant.However, objectivity is only part of it. The style of some media still seems to be wrong. When Sarah saw the latest newspapers, her expression became a little tangled, and her eyes flashed with deep thought.With Harvey Weinstein's contacts and methods, it is not impossible to deal with this media, but why the "Hollywood Reporter" that Dawn mentioned before is still hyping up the topic of "Leonardo beat up a disabled veteran", words There is a sense of condemnation between them, and the content has repeatedly mentioned the 911 incident and the injury process of the disabled veteran. By describing the bleak life of the disabled veteran after his discharge, he has gained a lot of sympathy points for the disabled veteran.

Rick was very anxious when he saw the media reports, and asked Harvey Weinstein to discuss it, but the fat man said inscrutably, "No rush, wait a little longer."

Not urgent?Sarah thought for a while, and immediately called Nancy. She had to be prepared for everything. Perhaps Harvey Weinstein wanted to be the oriole behind the praying mantis, the cicada, and the oriole, but she wanted to... Hold it in your hand and be ready to hit the oriole at any time.

The sales of "Hollywood Report" are very large, so many readers are naturally influenced by the newspaper, and they subjectively and automatically stand on the side of disabled veterans. Leonardo DiCaprio is a well-known star, so when the two conflict, people will instinctively care more about the weak, not to mention the fact that the media is helping to mislead the direction.

"Now what do these celebrities do besides acting? The most disgusting thing is this kind of person who has nothing but a face, but lives in a world of luxury and money every day. Do you think that being a star can do whatever you want?" This person has seen The newspapers and their friends criticized the "rich" star. In his opinion, Leonardo was the most hateful playboy, living a rich life that did not match his own value, but no matter how he heard it, his tone Seems a bit sour.

Some people were even more indignant, as if they were the messengers of justice, and wanted to stand up for justice for the disabled veterans, and even called for fund-raising protests, and hired the best lawyers for the disabled veterans, as if Leonardo was a heinous evil force: " This disabled veteran was injured while fighting against terrorists. In order to protect our social stability, he shed blood and sweat in a foreign country. Now he is being bullied by a young actor. It is so sad! The government must severely punish him. We must guarantee the basic rights and interests of veterans!"

However, several newspapers have successfully misled a large number of readers, and Leonardo's public image has been affected as Sarah feared.Of course, there are also many fans of Leonardo who immediately spoke out for the idol: "It's nonsense, I met Leonardo on the street twice, and he was very cooperative when I wanted to sign autographs and take photos. , with a smile on his face the whole time, how could such a gentle man do such a thing as beating a disabled veteran?"

Leonardo's public image has been good in the past two years, except that he often went to bars and nightclubs when he and Sarah just broke up, and his life was too chic. After that, he focused on work, and the movies he made were also well-received, "Gangs of New York" He was applauded and well-received, and his acting skills have improved for all to see, so when many movie fans saw these reports, their first reaction was to question, and they were more willing to believe that there was a misunderstanding.

"Look at the picture of that woman, she's over 30 years old, right? How could such an old woman attract Leonardo? He even let Leonardo fight for her? Even if you want to make up a story, you need to find someone like Sarah You are so beautiful!" This is a big truth, everyone's aesthetics are on the level of the general public, so unless you have glaucoma, cataracts or are simply blind, you can see that in the "three men and one woman" published in the newspaper The first daughter, whose appearance can only be regarded as above-average, is far from Leonardo's girlfriend who has had an intersection.

"I guess there must be Leonardo's competitors intentionally smearing him. During the awards season, it's normal to smear opponents. Hollywood has always been so smoky. Didn't someone say that Sarah slept all the judges of the Golden Globe Awards?" Can you believe this kind of nonsensical news, when we are all fools?"

"Don't say that Leonardo and Sarah are suspected to be back together, just talk about those supermodels, which one is not an angel with a devil's face, and one of them can instantly kill the aunt in the newspaper. Let me say, and that Women are about as close as Michael Ovitz is!"

Looking at the content of these chats, Leonardo, who was wearing a face in front of the computer with a blue and purple palette, felt very relieved - I have to admit, this man has the truth!

Leonardo has not dived to watch his fans for a long time. He has been focusing on being a producer for a long time, forgetting to eat and sleep for "The Aviator", worrying about "The Aviator's Woman". I was moved by the fans' unwavering love for me.He even couldn't help but wonder, among these people who firmly supported him, would there be Sarah who was also lurking in the group?He knows a little about Sarah's control over the "Owl Messenger" chat software. In the virtual online world, it is too easy for her to push the flames and do something!Although there will be discordant voices of condemnation among the movie fans, Leonardo pays more attention to the two trumpets who don't speak much but turn the wind back on key points, whether it is him or not. He pretended to be sentimental, anyway, he just thought that the person typing on the keyboard behind that was Sarah.

Soon, powerful netizens even picked up more photos of the woman's life, and she really had an intimate relationship with Michael!The two had a meal together, and the moment she got into Michael's car, all of which denied the rumors of "three men and one woman". How could Leonardo fight for such a woman?Unless he's blind!

Something is wrong?The acquaintances exchanged views, but suddenly found that the content of the reports they saw was actually different!When I went to the newsstand to buy many newspapers and periodicals, I realized how magnificent the editor's pen is, and how many different styles can be written for the same thing? !

"The report of the "Los Angeles Times" is very fair. According to the information provided by witnesses, the man who is said to be a veteran rushed in and beat Leonardo without saying a word. Only fight back in self-defense." Most people are more willing to believe Leon's self-defense statement.

They feel that their idol has been wronged: "Why did The Hollywood Reporter deliberately smear Leon? Could it be that he took money from the veteran?"

And keen people smelled the conspiracy: "It's not smearing, because it didn't report false news, but it said less when reporting, and the pen and ink selectively focused on the introduction of veterans. , this is blatantly misleading readers, what is the intention?"

The power of the masses is immeasurable, especially when the person being hacked is the hottest actor in Hollywood with tens of thousands of fans. Although Leonardo's official team has no voice, the fans have already found it on their own. There is something strange about it.Sarah, who watches fans’ feedback at any time and occasionally adds a word or two to fuel the flames, has to admire Harvey Weinstein’s exquisite heart at this time. The current effect is better than directly handling all the media and overwhelming It is much more beneficial to endorse Leonardo.But she's also aware of the prying eyes of Harvey Weinstein—

What is the meaning of that fat man who obviously got the most critical evidence but hid the video in his hand to make everyone anxious?If it weren't for the consideration of Harvey Weinstein's public relations power in the circle, Sarah wanted to tear herself apart with this fat man when she received a call from Nancy. She could just stand by and spend time with Harvey, and let the public opinion Slowly ferment, let Leonardo's supporters slowly come to their senses, and when the situation gets too serious, she believes that Harvey will still show the complete video to fight for Leonardo, But that would do too much damage to Leonardo's public image, and Sarah didn't want to see this kind of image consumption, so she relented.

If she and Nancy hadn't been pushing behind the scenes, the trend on the Internet would never have changed so quickly, let alone the behavior of "human flesh" such as posting photos. This is the first time she has used the power of the Internet to protect herself... No, it's for Leonardo... to drive online opinion, and is this a link that Harvey Weinstein wants to spy on or verify?The power of the print media will become weaker and weaker. Regardless of the speed or scope of information dissemination, the Internet age has already begun. Has Harvey Weinstein, as a Hollywood PR master, realized this?While preparing for Leonardo's public relations award, he also took the opportunity to test Sarah, seeking the future path of online public relations?

The power of social platforms was indeed revealed at this time. Fans turned into detectives one by one, and the social network was complicated. They even found a netizen who was a member of the fitness club where the veteran was, claiming that the veteran was an alcoholic with an extremely violent personality, so he taught He received several complaints within two months. The boss wanted to fire him, so he went to the boss's office with a bottle of wine and threatened that he had eaten bullets to fight terrorists, as if the whole world should thank him and support him. of.

Another netizen turned out to be the woman's colleague. It is said that the woman broke up with the veteran before the 911 incident. The veteran even went to their company to block people. He looked like a lunatic, so it didn't exist at all. Three men compete for one woman, Leonardo despises this aunt, while the veteran has been dumped long ago and has obvious mental problems.

The development of the incident was beyond people's expectations, and there were fewer and fewer criticisms against Leonardo, although some conspiracy theorists believed that these netizens were recruited by Leonardo, his "ex-girlfriend and suspected "Current Girlfriend" is the boss of a social network, and it's really easy to find one or two extras to lie, so to restore the truth, seeing is believing.

Then, it happened so coincidentally that a suspected surveillance video came out on the Internet. It was rather blurry, because the face of the veteran could not be seen because of the angle, but he could clearly recognize the highly recognizable Leonardo. Leon Na Duo swooped down on the man with his back to the camera, and then punched the man fiercely, as if he wanted to beat the man to death. The video was very fast, just a few tens of seconds, But people were in an uproar.

For a moment, fans who supported Leonardo were silent, and those who thought Leonardo was guilty sneered—do you really think you are filming "Gangs of New York"?Look at the strength of that punch. It seems that when he was promoting "Gangs of New York" before, Leonardo's words were not fake. He did learn a lot of skills from his fighting coach. Unfortunately, his fist didn't hit the terror. Molecule in the face, but hit the veteran's body!

The situation took a turn for the worse. The voices condemning Leonardo had already weakened, but this time it was louder than before. Seeing is believing. When the real surveillance video appeared in front of them, even Leonardo fans could not open their eyes. tell nonsense.

With extremely complicated moods, they originally met to attend the premiere of "A Game of Cat and Mouse" together, but now they felt unbearably uncomfortable, as if they swallowed a fly with their meal, and it is really true that they beat others so viciously. Is it a handsome and friendly idol they like?Holding the cheering card that had already been made, they didn't know what mood to hold it up, let alone the excitement and anticipation of the past.

Movie fans always have an extraordinary love for their counterparts, because what they love is the perfect image they imagined in their hearts, and when the reality is in front of them, the perfect image collapses, and the psychology of being betrayed in the hearts of movie fans will be like a tide unstoppable.There are even fans who are ready to question Leonardo face to face at the film premiere.

It happened so suddenly that the pre-booked premiere of "A Game of Cat and Mouse" couldn't be cancelled. The new work of Leonardo and the great director Steven Spielberg, who had previously been highly acclaimed for their acting skills, was naturally well-received. It attracted a lot of attention and became the first choice of many moviegoers on the second day of Christmas, but now, the hot star did not show his face at the premiere at all.Obviously it is a movie with two male protagonists, but the only one standing next to Steven Spielberg is Tom Hanks. In the violent incident, the male protagonist disappeared. Is it because of a guilty conscience?Shame on people?He really is such a bad person, right? !

Leonardo's absence not only disappointed the media, but also disappointed the fans who still firmly supported him. They even thought about shouting out the words "believe in you", but the object they believed in hid , this is undoubtedly a slap in the face of die-hard movie fans.

Lucy even started to cry. She undoubtedly firmly believed in her idol, and even made a placard saying "I Believe in You, I Still Love You" with her own hands, but now, she is holding that sign like an abandoned toddler. The cub couldn't find its owner, it was more like a girl who was cheated and betrayed by her lover. She wiped her tears and didn't go to the movies because she didn't have the mood to watch movies at all.

"Don't cry, let's go, let's go home, let's not chase such idols!" The companions were also in mixed feelings, and they all felt that Leonardo's absence was due to guilt.

"I still can't believe it, you don't know how beautiful Leon is, he not only has a pretty face, he is so gentle, I even hugged him, he has always been so gentle and patient, look With his smiling face, I can forget all the troubles in the world..." Lucy sobbed and walked under the streetlight holding a support card. It was already late at night and the movie had started for more than half an hour. I don't know how long I walked with my company, but I arrived at the back door of the theater...

Why are there sudden flashing lights and human voices commotion at the back door?Lucy was attracted by the flashlight. She had just mentioned the idol's smiling face, and the idol appeared not far away... The face illuminated by the flashlight was particularly conspicuous in the dark, and her face was severely injured, even swollen and deformed like a palette!

The paparazzi, who seemed to be trying their luck to squat here, was so excited that he knocked off Leonardo's cap that was pressed down very low. He quickly covered his face but was still a little too slow. Accompanied by her, she got into a black nanny car, and at the last moment when the door closed, the paparazzi's flash light "clicked" and shone on a side face of the woman in the car, Sarah's eyes widened in surprise.

Hollywood is a theatrical paradise, and the people who live here have engraved acting into their bones.As an actor, especially a well-known actor, even if he didn’t intend to, he was destined to turn himself into a commodity when he stepped into this line of business. Even if he sneezes every moment, he might just be acting , now that the crisis is emerging, they got the twists and turns of the script arranged by Harvey Weinstein, and naturally it is the moment to show off their acting skills...

For example, a side profile of an Oscar queen can have a lot of drama. When this snapped photo appeared on the Internet, everyone seemed to have heard Sarah's inner voice at that moment—who is this pig-headed man with a swollen face in front of him?Leonardo?Please don't tease me!
