Use the media to fight the media.
It is not uncommon for such a thing to happen. Serious news led by the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times", professional magazines led by "The New Yorker" and "Time Magazine", they have always been very interested in the entertainment media led by News Corporation and "Entertainment Weekly". There are criticisms. On the one hand, it is because the entertainment-to-death culture in the Internet age has gradually started to lose control; on the other hand, after the national entertainment, the authenticity and accuracy of news plummeted.
Strictly speaking, what the media is attacking is not the peer media, but the trend of the entire industry gradually declining, out of control, and sluggish.
Lydia chose to take the bottom line, even skipping the fact that "Entertainment Weekly" accused it, and skipping Harvey Weinstein's behind-the-scenes push, but instead aimed at the ugly phenomenon of the entire industry, In essence, completely reverse the situation. The courage and courage are truly impressive.
However, as simple as it sounds, it is far from easy to operate.
Everyone sat in a circle, discussed in detail and meticulously in an all-round way, and began to assign tasks.
Now that the decision has been made to eradicate the grass, it is imperative that the problem be solved neatly and thoroughly: those discussions about Renly's background, those accusations about Renly's malicious hype, those jealousy about Renly's rapid rise... all, all, They still have a lot of work to do in order to avoid future troubles and restore their reputation and image.
When Renly came back, it was just a quarter past ten o'clock, mainly because of Annie's work and rest time, and the two little ones were tired, so they went back to the city and had dinner together before the fireworks display was over. , and then take them back to the hotel. So, it's not too late to come back.
It was after midnight that the meeting came to a close.
However, Lydia and Andy still did not leave. There is still a lot of work to be done by the two of them. The former is a publicist, formulating the entire plan and contacting the media, which is her responsibility; the latter is an agent. This event requires the use of the power of the entire creative artist agency, and his work is also Definitely not easy.
Renly returned to the room.
I took a shower and washed away my tiredness; but tonight, I didn’t rush to dry my hair and prepare to sleep, but came to the balcony and looked at the dark night of Los Angeles, the dark purple sky lightly stirred up a halo , rosy, vast and bright, revealing a completely different temperament and charm from the East Coast.
There was an unlit cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and the smell of tobacco wafted under his nose; tonight, there was an urge to light it.
Deep down, after all, there is still no calmness and equanimity on the surface.
Renly really doesn't care about the condemnation and accusations of Entertainment Weekly and other media; to be more precise, during the Berlin Film Festival, he foresaw the trajectory of things, even if it wasn't a "one-man concert". There will still be other opportunities, other excuses, other events, and sooner or later this wave will come.
The only difference is when and to what extent.
As a former journalism major and an upper-class graduate from Cambridge University, Renly firmly believes that if he joins the journalism industry and becomes a reporter, he will also be able to make his own way. He knows the purpose of the reporters, he knows the means of the reporters, and he knows the ways of the reporters.
Renly had never been afraid of the media. Last year's Seattle event and this year's concert event, essentially, there is no difference. Journalists just crave buzz and gimmicks.
What really upsets people is the people, the fans and the fans.
Standing outside the besieged city, Renly once told himself that other people's opinions are, after all, other people's opinions. Tom Hanks is no exception. If he cares about the opinions and opinions of others all the time, and even changes himself for a little thought of others, in the end, he will lose himself.
But standing inside the siege, Renly realized that the truth is very simple, but the real implementation is very difficult. After all, he was an ordinary human being, not a robot, and he couldn't be indifferent when he heard the curses and provocations, the insults and taunts. Maybe he wasn't as strong as he thought.
He thought he could care less. But, he can't.
Someone spat at him this afternoon while at Disneyland.
He didn't spit on him, just fell to the side, but the man shouted with a fierce look and contempt, "Liar! You make me sick." Then, like a performance, he raised his hands high, Shouting again and again, "Disgusting!"
It was a child of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a youthful look on his face. So vicious, so vulgar, so ugly, when it happens to a child, and still at Disneyland, the shock is often multiplied.
Annie and Alex, who were standing beside Renly, were terrified. Alex rushed up with his fists, shouting, "What did you say! What did you just say! I won't allow you to say that!"
Annie held Renly's right hand tightly, at a loss, her body was shaking slightly.
Renly caught Alex just in time and pulled him back. Alex stood there, his face full of grievances, "Why did he say that to you? Why?" As he spoke, tears fell, but he clenched his fists and twisted his cheeks stubbornly. She bit her lower lip, unwilling to show her fragility.

At that moment, Renly was so embarrassed. He could raise his fist and give the child a hard lesson; but he couldn't stop Yoyo from talking, and he couldn't stop the sight and eyes from hurting the two children.
Did he really do something wrong? Shouldn't he hold a concert willfully? Shouldn't he just hold on to a promise regardless? Shouldn't he hold on to his dreams arrogantly? If, if Heather is really because of him...
Ren Li closed his eyes tightly, severing all his wild thoughts, he couldn't let such thoughts go on, it was too heavy, almost breathless.
He once thought that the dream of "Don Quixote" had come true, not only because of the success of the concert and the Grammys, but also because of George Slender, Herbert Jones, Heather Chloe, that one Every face really understands the essence of the album.
He once thought that the road of chasing his dreams, he was finally no longer alone. Those figures who raised their hands high and cheered, those faces filled with tears and happiness, they became their partners.
He once thought that his perseverance, his ideals, and his own soul had truly found a confidant. Those figures that fill Lincoln Center, those that fill Madison Square Garden, they really understand "the cancer-fighting me", they really understand "Don Quixote".
You have worked hard for so long, persisted for so long, and struggled for so long. At a certain moment today, he began to deny himself, deny everything. It turned out that everything was just his wishful thinking:
Wishful thinking, dreams are real; wishful thinking, Don Quixote is real; wishful thinking, try hard and run, and eventually you will reach the end; wishful thinking, on this thorny road , he is not alone.
After all, he is still alone. All of them, in an instant, under the keyboards of those people, vanished into ashes. It seems that everything is not as heavy as a sentence; and it is a sentence from "Entertainment Weekly". So easy, so ridiculous, so ridiculous.
"You should understand that needless persistence is stupid, not only a waste of your time and energy, but also a hindrance to everyone around you. You are not stupid, you should at least know how to give up. You are not a genius, and never have been. There are not so many geniuses, and there are not so many miracles in the world, you are just a fool with a daydream, the chance of success is equal to zero! Dream? This is the most useless word in the world, it is used by the losers Just an excuse to comfort myself."
George Hall's words were like a nightmare. Just when Renly thought they had vanished and were insignificant, they reappeared, mocking his embarrassment aloofly and arrogantly.
My mouth is full of bitterness, I can't spit it out, but I can't swallow it.
Powerlessness, a deep sense of powerlessness. After rebirth, Renly felt powerless for the first time.
The death faded and he was reborn. From the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to be running wildly, running towards his dream with all his might, with one mind, no distractions, and all his might, truly enjoying life recklessly, and truly interpreting the essence of life. color.
But today, he was suddenly at a loss, as if all the running was blind and empty, opened his eyes, the sky was filled with gray and black, a heavy feeling of powerlessness wrapped around his ankles like water plants, the more he struggled, the tighter he became; The harder it is, the more painful it is.
He took a deep breath, the dry tobacco breath mixed with the coldness and coolness of the late night and entered his chest. He looked down at the cigarette at his fingertips. playing with cigarettes.
To ignite, not to ignite? ignite? Still not burning
The turbulent thoughts still can't make a decision. Immediately, Renly realized his indecision. This is not him, this is not like him, immersed in self-pity, unable to extricate himself, denying himself, questioning himself, and giving up on himself.
After the transformation of the two lives, he thought that Chu Jiashu had been left in the memory of the previous life forever, but now he has committed an old problem again. Now, he is not Chu Jiashu, but Renly, Renly-Hall.
Even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he is alone, even if he is walking alone, he will keep his head high and strut down until the end of his life.
