Chapter 45: farce
First, the Los Angeles Metropolis Daily, as Eric expected, once again exposed Julia’s photo of leaving Eric’s house, and specifically mentioned Eric’s carnival party at home, but “The Devil’s Home The members of the crew participated in a series of things, but they focused on describing the beautiful young women.
Then some newspapers followed suit, and did not know where to find some plausible materials to criticize Eric's personal conduct. Eric gradually abandoned his girlfriend and became an adult girl after becoming an inspirational youth. Relationship, hangover party, extravagant playboy.
"...maybe Eric Williams is indeed a talented young man, but after getting too much money, the young man is clearly starting to fall at an incomprehensible rate..."
"...just abandoned the girlfriend of the Weiwei period, and after spending the spring with Drew Barrymore, Eric Williams immediately changed to a new woman. According to the survey, the big mouth beauty in the photo is The heroine in "The Modern Cinderella" released..."
"...It's hard to imagine, Eric Williams will actually start with Drew, who is only 13 years old. I personally think that there must be some hidden secrets. In any case, the behavior of Eric Williams. I touched California law. I saw the second Roman Polanski, who was also a talented director, but committed the same unforgivable crime, in order to prevent Erik Williams from being like Roman Polanski. I am absconding to evade the responsibility of the law, I think the Los Angeles police should take timely measures against Eric Williams..."
Even some unobtrusive entertainment gossip newspapers, after finding no more explosives, began to make unfounded outcrops, and the good public image that Eric originally built was faltering.
Fox found that the storm had slightly expanded and immediately responded. The "returning to the seventeen-year-old" produced by the other party is still in the fierce release, and has just bought out the overseas distribution rights of "Little Ghosts". If the image of Eric as the actor and director is damaged, it will suffer direct economic losses. Obviously they are.
As for Colombia, in addition to continuing to perform the contract in accordance with the gambling agreement, it is almost completely a cold-eyed gesture. Some employees of the Colombian propaganda department also mentioned to the supervisor that they did public relations for Eric, but the proposal was not approved. Bronte Cohen was last smashed by Eric, and the top of the propaganda department even wondered if there would be any Bronte Cohen introductory behind these storms, so they were not willing to venture into Eric.
News Corp. originally started as a paper media. It has played a lot of tricks to discredit public figures and increase sales. The corresponding ones have been easily dealt with when they are smeared.
Soon, in the consultation between Fox and Eric himself, the counterattack quickly launched. While reversing the image of Eric through various media, Fox picked up a few recent films that were not very clean. The actors and directors followed the hype. For a time, the North American newspapers appeared to be a bit of a smog, and the attention focused on Eric was quickly dispersed.
The people gradually sniffed out an unusual meaning from these flying gossip. Although the media is good at manipulating the people, if they really blindly use the people as fools, they can only be foolish.
Soon, a lesser-known "Hollywood News" published a special review article on the front page, completely revealing the undercurrent buried under the storm.
"Christmas Christmas farce: all the troubles at the box office"
"On the occasion of the annual film Christmas Christmas, the film companies that have tried their best to promote their works in the past year have used a series of despicable smudges to suppress the competitors. The beginning of everything comes from a name. The magical rise of the young man named Eric Williams."
"After the new week's box office, the total of two movie box-offices related to Eric Williams has exceeded 100 million US dollars, especially the low-cost comedy "Little Ghosts", after the second week of box office rises, third Zhou still only has a 20% weak box office drop, and got a box office of 23.15 million US dollars. The total box office in the three weeks is close to 80 million US dollars, directly into the sixth place in the annual box office rankings. The miracle is unstoppable."
"As we all know, the total number of box office and movie attendance in the Christmas season is limited, and the major movie companies will gradually withdraw from a series of annual strong blockbusters. Therefore, in order to compete for the box office share, Eric Williams himself has recently suffered A variety of criticism scandals seem logical."
"No matter what Eric Williams himself is, he doesn't talk about what a series of movie stars who have been attacked by public opinion in the past have done anything in anger. We are just here to appeal to major film companies to stay calm. Going back to the normal competitive track. By suppressing opponents by abnormal means, you will end up eating only the consequences."
The "Hollywood Information" this essay is like a signal. While the major newspapers have reprinted it, the big man who wants to destroy Eric’s dust has to converge. Because they found that Eric is no longer alone, News Corp’s quick and fierce counterattack clearly shows that Eric Williams has formed a stable interest alliance with Fox.
Although some tabloids who are unwilling to give up the topic are entangled, most of the more influential newspapers have tacitly stopped attacking competitors.
This storm seems to have passed.
A few days later, Eric, who was chased by the paparazzi, was moved into the Beverly Peak Mansion and closed the door. Eric would no longer have to look up through the window as in the North Hollywood apartment. I saw a long paparazzi parked outside.
Jeffrey Hansen looked at the high walls outside the mansion, and some enviously pressed the doorbell. After a few minutes, Eric opened the door and greeted Jeffrey Hansen.
Stopping the car in front of the villa, Jeffrey Hansen asked: "Eric, what have you been doing at home recently, have you not gone out for a few days?"
When it comes to this matter, Eric is super depressed. After the completion of the procedures of the Firefly Film Company, there are not many things that he needs to personally come forward. In addition, he will be chased by the paparazzi. Eric is basically a house in these days. at home. Compared to the happy life of the past occupants, this era without a network without a smartphone really makes Eric's passerby boring.
"Writing novels, writing scripts, watching TV... It’s very boring. It’s such a situation that I don’t even dare to go out. I just bought a bottle of drink at a convenience store last time. The next day I’m on the tabloid. The supermarket cashier’s sister extended the report of the claws.”
Jeffrey couldn’t help but laugh and laugh.
Eric took Jeffrey Hansen into the study on the second floor of the villa. Just after he entered the door, Jeffrey saw an oversized wooden tablet hanging on one wall of the study. The densely cut newspapers and the graffiti-filled manuscript paper were nailed to the writing board.
"What are these used for?" Jeffrey curiously walked in and looked and asked.
“It’s useless,” Eric stepped forward and pulled off a clipping. He smiled and said: “I’m bored at home, so I’m trying to analyze who’s behind me in the information of these gossip newspapers. Then settle after the fall."
Jeffrey snarled: "You should be Holmes, if you can see that the old fritters will be white."
Eric shrugged and said that he was actually lucky, because Fox, a temporary interest alliance, was pulled back on the edge of the storm. Compared with Michael Jackson, who has touched too many people's interests in the past, but who has been tossed by one person, Eric does not dare to ask for anything.
Aside from these thoughts, Eric asked: "Right, Jeffrey, how are things going?"
Jeffrey listened to this sentence, and some complained of a large stack of documents from the briefcase: "You boss is really leisurely, everything is thrown to me to do. The company's office building I have been renovated It takes about half a month. Also, this is the information of some brokerage companies that you asked me to find, Eric, did you really decide to acquire a brokerage company?"
Eric took the information and said: "Of course, you have seen the things of Stewart Longkel. CAA is now holding the other hand in his hands and waiting to knock me. I can’t always train stars. Let's go."
“However, the federal monopoly law stipulates that a film company cannot have a brokerage company at the same time.”
Eric looked through the information in his hand and replied: "I certainly know that I have no intention of merging the two companies together. In my vision, the film company is completely independent of the brokerage company. There is no legal law. problem."
"Forget it, you can do it yourself, right, did you write a new movie script?"
Eric found a stack of manuscripts on the desk full of newspapers and handed it to Jeffrey: "Write it, do you look at it first?"
