Since the video was released and the wind of public opinion began to reverse, the local media in North America still had a little bit of reserve at the beginning, while the British media on the other side of the Atlantic, even several British newspapers controlled by News Corporation, all changed without restraint. From his standpoint, he overwhelmingly supported Eric. As for the reason, of course it is Eric’s British identity, at least, the British media thinks so, just like as long as an actress from the UK becomes famous in Hollywood, no matter whether the actress has joined the American nationality or not, she will be called by the British. As for the English rose.
Eric, as a Hollywood director who grew up to eight years old in London, England, still retains British nationality and has created a series of box office miracles, before the storm, of course, became the pride of the British population without any accident. It can be seen that the box office results of several films directed by Rick are very good in the UK.
Therefore, after the turmoil just started, although the British media also followed suit and launched a series of criticisms against Eric, most of the media used the tone of hating iron and steel when they saw their children's disappointment.
Now, I originally thought that my 'child' had fallen, but the facts have proved that it was actually framed by others, and the British media's emotions can be imagined.
On the day the video was released, the famous British "Guardian" published an article on the front page, summarizing the various attacks Eric had suffered during this period as "the most serious public opinion at the end of the twentieth century." persecution'.
"Eric Williams has left a series of classics for the world film industry in just one year, which is very rare in the entire world film history. His "Home Alone" series has set a new record for the world. Children brought laughter. His "Pretty Woman" and "Sleepless in Seattle" brought young men and women a longing for love. His "Dark War" let us experience a soul-stirring confrontation between good and evil, His "Small Island Cry" made us realize that horror movies can still make people shudder without plasma and violence...
And it was precisely such a talented young man who suffered a series of heart-wrenching cases of the most serious persecution of public opinion in the 20th century because of his miraculous rise. If we explore carefully, we will find that there have been a series of scandals about Eric Williams in the media for more than a month. Basically, they are baseless and random fabrications based on a few pretentious photos, and the lawsuits that Eric Williams is currently receiving are completely manipulated by people with intentions behind the scenes. It is hard to imagine that in a country like the United States, which always clamors that freedom is above all else, its news and public opinion will be manipulated to such an unrestrained level. This has to be said to be a kind of irony. "
After the "Guardian" commentary article was published, the argument that Eric was suffering the "worst persecution of public opinion in the twentieth century" was quickly recognized by the media in many countries outside the United States, and quickly spread back to North America.
And most of the American media, which originally just followed the trend, quickly accepted this view. While starting to clean himself, he defended Eric.
but. After this turmoil reversed, the reaction was the most violent. But it is not the media, but ordinary people. Countless historical facts throughout the ages have proved a truth, that is, although the common people are the group that is most easily fooled, they are also the group that cannot be fooled the most. The remarks made by Arnold Carpenter in the video are undoubtedly a huge provocation to the American people who have always pursued freedom and transparency.
So, in just three days, under the organization of Eric's fans scattered all over North America, support for Eric appeared in more than ten major cities in the United States, including New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The demonstrators who requested the federal government to investigate the persecution of public opinion, although the number of people in each city is not large, even in Los Angeles, the headquarters of Hollywood, there are less than 2,000 movie fans participating in the demonstration, but the scope involves In almost every important city in the United States, even the most stupid people know that if the federal government ignores it, the matter will grow and expand until it becomes uncontrollable.
When the federal government was still urgently discussing countermeasures, Eric issued a statement after the turmoil occurred and almost completely lost his voice for more than a month, saying that he would publish himself on February 14, Valentine's Day. The first single, to make their own response to this storm. At the same time, all proceeds from the subsequent release of the single will be donated to the Legal Aid Foundation in North America to help vulnerable groups.
Responding to the injustice I encountered with a song, this kind of thing has never happened before. While feeling the novelty, Eric's fans, whether or not they are fans of Eric, have great expectations for this matter. The major record companies in North America, who were keenly aware of the business opportunities, contacted Eric at the first time, and requested the release of this record single on the most favorable terms.
The federal government, which seemed to be aware of something, officially held a press conference on February 13, announcing that it would set up a special investigation team to conduct a thorough investigation of the series of attacks Eric Williams suffered during this period.
On February 14th, during the carnival festival for couples across the United States, on this night, in many cities in North America, there seemed to be a lot less couples going out to go shopping, clubbing and watching movies. Many people found the radio that had been thrown in the storage room. After some debugging, I found the channel I wanted. Of course, there are also many people who do not have tape recorders. Therefore, on this day, due to the popularity of TV sets, the sales of tape recorders, which had been dismal, experienced a sales climax. According to the incomplete statistics of the media, the sales of recorders in the United States on this day exceeded 2.6 million units, far exceeding the record of millions of TV sets sold during the annual Super Bowl.
In a villa in Beverly Hills, Michael Eisner finally returned home after a busy day. Ever since Eric exposed the video, Michael Eisner has been keenly aware that for more than a month, He joined forces with several other film giants to take a series of actions against Eric, but all of them will return in vain. Moreover, as the initiator and main executor of this incident, Michael Eisner had to personally clean up the series of previous actions after demonstrators supporting Eric appeared in major cities across the United States. evidence, and in order to give the federal government an explanation, several newspapers were deliberately arranged as scapegoats.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room and resting for a while, Michael Eisner looked at his watch, then softly instructed the servants, found a radio, and entered the study in silence.
At the same time, countless people throughout North America did the same thing almost before eight o'clock in the evening.
At eight o'clock sharp, a music show program on Federal Public Radio officially began.
"Hi, everyone, I'm your good friend Matthew Lazard, and as a radio presenter, I can assure you that today will be one of the listeners of my career as everyone turns their attention to the television screen. The most day. You may not know that since I went to work, I have listened to a song more than 20 times in more than two hours. Hear the most uplifting tune. Whoa whoa my boss is smearing my neck through the glass, well, I'm saying one last thing to keep from getting fired, this is CPR's "Music Paradise" " program, I am the host Matthew Lazard, next, let us listen to the new song "new-divide" brought to us by the famous director Eric Williams."
The host's voice fell, and after a brief silence, the sound of drums seemed to sound from far and near, followed by a series of rapid piano sounds, drum sounds and guitar sounds, the pitch became higher and higher, with an inexplicable shocking power , the prelude lasted for more than half a minute, before the singing sounded, countless people in front of the radio felt a resonance and tremor from the depths of their souls.
Michael Eisner, who seemed to have not experienced this feeling for a long time, was sitting on the executive chair in his study room. His fingers on the desk unconsciously followed the tune on the radio, and subconsciously tapped the table a few times. He froze quickly. Although there was no one else in the study room, Michael Eisner still had a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.
But the music on the radio didn't change at all because of Michael Eisner's reaction, and Eric's voice soon came out of the radio.
*I remember the day with dark clouds, thunder and lightning.
*I remember every moment at that time, before forgetting
*When bad luck strikes
*Can't escape the entanglement of fate
*Your voice flashes, say I deserve it
*Then give me a reason to prove it's my fault
*…
Michael Eisner changed his posture on the executive chair, pretended not to care, forced a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Is this an accusation? It's really childish."
Even though he said so, Michael Eisner could no longer show a mocking look on his face. As the CEO of a film company, he can realize that the spread of this rock song will give Ai who is already in an advantageous position. Rick brings more help. Therefore, Michael Eisner couldn't help but began to sort out whether he still hadn't cleaned up everything, and whether there were any clues in the hands of others. He was a qualified businessman, and after he couldn't do anything, Michael Eisner took it for granted that, Should continue to cooperate with Eric, after all, interests come first. (To be continued..)
