Hollywood Domination Chapter 241: Anchor

If it is a general tabloid news, for Jennifer, the best way to deal with it is to ignore it. After all, since she and Chris announced their breakup, what is the inside story of their breakup and who is to whom Wrong, there are already dozens of versions. Even the authoritative media in the United States can't stand the temptation of the two stars breaking up. Either explicitly or secretly, they speculate on the real reason for the separation of the two with a fig leaf. It's really no big deal for ordinary tabloids to make up stories. Without real evidence, such rumors will not have much impact.

However, this report of the "Daily Mirror" is quite extraordinary, because it is not just a report of rumors, on the contrary, every point of view in this report is well-founded-this It is also the reason why Jenny's team can be sure that she has been tapped before communicating with her. After all, the content of her call with Meryl last night should only be known by the two of them. But only one day old.

She was wiretapped, there is no doubt about it, but the identity of the wiretapper is still hard to say, because the "Daily Mirror" seems to have reacted quickly enough to start reporting the incident a day before other media. It's just a matter - just like Reese Witherspoon spent money on marketing at that time, almost overnight, the recording of her call last night has spread all over the Internet. Moreover, the publisher was malicious enough. He blurred many of Jenny's words and covered them with background noise, and almost every sentence that remained was explosive.

'Actually, I feel a little sorry for Chris...'

'And I feel like I'm out of control, if you know what I mean...'

'Of course it won't be soon, maybe it will start with hallucinations...'

'Indeed, his appearance is enough to confuse many people. ’

The sound quality is very clear, there is nothing to refute, it is indeed Jenny's voice, and in these few words and some causes and consequences, Jenny's tone is enough to make people associate too much. Judging from the recordings left behind, the "Daily Mirror" still has a conscience, because they didn't say that she was taking excessive drugs, but only suspected her mental state in a very restrained way-this is also Let Jenny be sure that they definitely got a very clear recording of the call, so they followed the route of mental disorder, and didn't make up topics like taking drugs.

There is no Meryl's speech content in the recording, so this should not be a wiretapping method of copying the SIM card, but a recording obtained by installing a bug. Jenny has the security team re-check the entire house and her belongings, and the end result is laughably simple.

——"Mobile phone." She said to Cesare on the other side of the computer, "They directly placed two mobile phones in the house."

Yes, the method of this unknown eavesdropping gang can be said to be quite ingenious. They placed sockets with chargers under the table in the study and in the sockets next to the sofa in the bedroom, which are concealed and open. The mobile phone, then dialed the number and kept the call. Jenny's bodyguard team completely ignored it as a blind spot when inspecting the house. After all, Jenny and her small team have a lot of mobile phones, and it is very normal to put them there to charge when the owner is out.

In this way, as long as the recording device is connected, almost all of Jenny's conversations in the study and bedroom are being monitored, and the equipment for detecting bugs cannot be detected at all. And with the charger body, the mobile phone can maintain the call for a long time until they get a satisfactory revelation. Of course, the eavesdroppers were lucky. After all, they were still very likely to be discovered, and Jenny might not say anything explosive for many days.

"Did you call the police?" Cesare asked, he was still in his pajamas - after all, it was already early morning in the United States, and he should have been woken up after falling asleep. Fortunately, Cesare was the kind of person who even ironed his pajamas, so the scene wasn't too funny. In another small frame, Judy is much more scruffy, still pulling her hair and yawning frequently. "Is this computer clean?"

"This is Woody's computer, and the room is clean." Jenny replied that Woody is the head of the bodyguard team. This matter has been admitted, so far, there is still room for denial in this recording."

After all, this is not a picture, and it's not like Reese's time. Even the mailbox was hacked into. It's just a few vague words. Jenny never used a person's name, nor did she ever call her by her full name. So the credibility of the recording is not so dead, calling the police is tantamount to self-reporting, destroying the follow-up public relations layout, reducing the team's choices, of course she would not do such a stupid thing. ——Jenny suddenly couldn't help laughing, she said with some self-deprecation, "Oh my god, listen to our conversation, are we still actors? Are you sure this isn't a conversation between the FBI and an informant?"

"The difference between a celebrity and a politician is not as big as many people think." Cesare said calmly, as if this matter was just a side dish to him. Of course, Chris is also his customers, so it might not really be a big deal to him. "Wait a minute, I'll add Jim to the conversation, Jim, what's the feedback from netizens now, Judy, tell me what's going on in the paper media."

Jim was obviously still awake, and it seemed to be his working hours, so he jumped into the dialog box full of energy, "Good evening, j.j—needless to say, ontd and k,r are all blown up, The huffington post is even talking about it, and right now I'm motivating some guys to question the authenticity of the recording. But I need a next course of action, do we start with *rights, or continue to question the authenticity line Way? Oh, by the way, netizens are currently not showing any emotions or anger, and there is no obvious tendency to stand in line. The biggest impact of this incident is that Salvi Tuzzi's search index is rising rapidly. I have already seen about him on K. I posted an introduction to it, and at least hundreds of people liked it, so I guess this will be a good publicity for the movie.”

"It's no wonder, it's not a commercial film," Jenny retorted angrily, and then said irritably, "but this is not the time to talk about it—God, Mary, you'd better contact Sarah quickly. Well, I'm afraid the reporter has arrived at his door now."

There was a deep sense of guilt in her heart, just like her current neighbors and the owner of the house: now, her house is surrounded by reporters, which is undoubtedly for the neighbors. It was a huge interruption, and while it wasn't her intention, and hardly her fault, she still couldn't help feeling a lot of responsibility for it. This feeling of helplessness and irritability even surpassed her anger at being violated. After all, this is not the first time. This kind of thing has happened so many times that she is no longer angry, but can only feel helpless. After all, no matter how you fight back, it is actually the opponent's victory. The best way to deal with it is to swallow your anger. It is a hateful fact that this incident has never happened, but she is powerless to change it. The attention economy here is so simple and crude. While enjoying its benefits, she must also bear the disadvantages it brings.

"Very well, it seems that the netizens themselves have no preset position," Cesare's shoulders relaxed a little, "just treat it as another Hollywood lace news——"

"——This is also the most natural trend. After all, you didn't say anything controversial. If people let go of their prejudice and harsh requirements for stars, they will admit that these words don't make any sense." Dee took a big sip of coffee, and her voice was much clearer, "It can be interpreted in any way, you are sorry Chris, maybe it is because you are kind-hearted and good at introspection, you think your mental state is not good, so what? There are Isn't it true that half the population fears they're going crazy and you're calling Salvi handsome? If I were to say we're talking about sexual rights being violated, that would give us the moral high ground to get there in the first place Piggy horse, this also coincides with the girlpower we have been doing, you and Chris have broken up for almost two months, can't women express appreciation to others after a breakup? I can't see why not."

"The premise of this strategy is that this is just a simple hacker incident," Cesare said immediately after Judy, "or in other words, the so-called 'hackers' behind this incident just want to make news, I don’t want to affect your public image. If it’s just that, then there’s nothing difficult about this matter—Jim, are there any traces of another group of people’s activities on the Internet now?”

"No, of course, some people in those fanatics are disappointed with her, but I don't see any shadow of manipulation behind it." Jim said, and he asked sensitively, "Are you wondering what this thing is?" , the result of the Oscar PR battle? But I haven’t heard that someone hired an online marketing team for this time’s Olympic PR. If you want to say that, no one will have trouble with j.j for the Best Actress Award. This is a waste of firepower. Ultimately The best movies are all young, besides, I have never heard that such a small scandal can affect the film's award."

After several years of development, Internet marketing has become a very mature industry. The film marketing department of Dameng is no longer the only one, and some industry rules have been gradually summarized. As in the past, the marketing of commercial films is the behavior with the fastest results and the highest feedback. The effect of marketing art films can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to directly affect the Oscars. Therefore, there is network marketing now, but it is still based on commercial films. Mainly, the biological chain of Chongao public relations still maintains the previous structure.

"Indeed, if it was planned by the marketing team, this matter should be exposed from the United States, and we will not have time to grasp the direction of local public opinion." Cesare said, "This may be the local tabloid for the news. Another unscrupulous approach, you are just giving them a tool to sell sales."

He quickly made a decision, "Don't give them the power to continue to dominate public opinion and hype, call the police and play the card of *right. Judy, you know what you should do."

"Of course," Judy yawned, "don't worry, The New York Times, People, and The Hollywood Reporter know what to write. Maybe I can whip up patriotism at this point, Come together for another 'Lexington Shootout'."

She waved her hand and disconnected the link. Jim didn't wait for Cesare to speak, and rushed to say, "I see, the network damage control is handed over to me. The official statement will appear in twelve hours. Interesting comments, man, you should be as amazed by this site as I am, Zuckerberg is a genius!"

"Remember to pay attention to the movement of the core fan group." Cesare reminded.

Jim made a reassuring gesture and left the conversation too. Cesare moved on his seat, looked at Jenny for a while, and said carefully, "There is one thing I must let you know, although we have the right to this card, I'm afraid it's just a fig leaf, and the public won't Therefore, if you look at your own curiosity and voyeurism, you will think that there is really something hidden about the breakup between you and Chris, and you may even suspect that the separation between you is because of Salvi. Of course, for most people, this is nothing Big deal, but in the early days of your fame, some of your main fan base - those small town moms with more traditional values ​​who were attracted to your 'American dream', might be disappointed in you because of it...it's for you It’s still uncertain what impact it will have on the box office, after all, “Michael Clayton” has been released for some time, and I will draw attention to this data in the box office tracking of “Iron Man” in a few months.”

In order not to increase the psychological pressure on the stars, some managers will choose to conceal bad news, but the tacit understanding between Cesare and Jenny has allowed them to find a comfortable cooperation rhythm. Jenny is not afraid of bad news, but just hates being called Keep it in the dark. She nodded, "ok, no problem."

"Also, I am going to let Christopher remain silent in this incident." Cesare said carefully, "It will benefit you all."

Jenny was silent for a while, "Okay."

None of them spoke first, and Jenny hesitated to speak several times. Cesare saw it, but didn't ask further. After a while, he cleared his throat, "So, it may be a bit offensive to ask this question." *, but since you told Meryl that you have a fear of getting lost in the play—"

"Pfft." Jenny burst out laughing, she covered her mouth, but couldn't stop the absurd laughter, she shook her head while laughing, "God! This is - I don't know Why do I find it funny, but this is simply—"

She smiled for a while before shaking her head, "No, I'm fine, that's... a momentary emotional slump, I'm much more comfortable after talking with Meryl—that's your expression just now , oh, your expression—"

Cesare raised one eyebrow to look at her, and Jeanne laughed even harder at his expression. To be honest, she didn't know why it happened, but hearing Cesare express it with that familiar, lack of emotion Even in an offensive tone, talking about the pros and cons of this matter in a formulaic way, as if what happened just now did not strongly violate her body, did not frighten her, as if it was all business and had nothing to do with personal feelings Relationship—it was this kind of ruthlessness that made her feel very kind, and brought her back to reality: Marilyn didn't have such an annoying agent around her, did she? This constant, stable, and professional existence like a central air conditioner represented everything he represented: eternal business, eternal daily affairs, eternal details and eternal games—pulled her back to reality. What anchor does she need? Glancing at Cesare's emails and listening to his phone messages, the myriad of things that Dameng is facing will remind her to the greatest extent: Don't waste time on sad spring and autumn, you still have many important things do it.

"Honestly, I'm fine." Jenny wiped the tears from her laughter, "This wiretapping incident helped me return to reality. In Marilyn's world, there is no such professional team. A non-stop meeting, isn't it? I don't have the time to crash when there are so many decisions to make."

"Indeed." Cesare flipped through the paper in front of him, "Now is not a good time for a mental breakdown."

He still maintained a serious expression, "If you must have a nervous breakdown, I can arrange eight days for you in four months. Before that, I'm afraid that Mr. Mental Breakdown can only make an appointment."

Jenny laughed, "Seriously, Cesare, seriously."

The corners of Cesare's lips parted, and he gave her a gentle look before cutting off the call.

Although she knows that he needs to rest, and there is only so much he can do in this matter, even she understands that in the words and eye contact between the two just now, Cesare has affirmed that her emotion is still Hanging up when it's okay, he did his part - he even told a joke! But the blacked-out screen still made Jenny feel a sense of loss. It was a reminder to her: After all, most of her team were on the other side of the ocean, and they couldn't help her directly. Here, she could only protect herself. And she wasn't even allowed to express her frustration and anger about it because it would make her look vulnerable, because it would please someone who wanted to hurt her, and most importantly, because it was 'unprofessional'.

"How about Salvi?" She stood by the window, hid behind the curtain and watched the movement outside the yard. The number of people who saw it cannot be estimated at all. "God, I feel so sorry for him, Mary, do you think we should find a new house?"

"That would be a very wise choice," Woody knocked on the door and walked in. "After all, this is an old house. It is difficult to do everything without destroying the decoration. We still don't know what paparazzi is. How did you slip in to put your phone in——"Daily Mirror" seems to be very suspicious, do you want us to investigate this?"

"We decided to call the police." Jenny said, she sighed, "It seems that today's schedule must be changed, who will call the studio?"

#

Jenny did arrive on the set in the afternoon—the outside of the studio gate has already become a party for the paparazzi. Although they haven't taken pictures of her yet, they all seem very excited. It seems that Sal They would have been quite satisfied with Vi's photo, which made Jenny even more guilty: Salvi had become the prey of the paparazzi without knowing it this morning, and he was almost forced out of the car on the way to the studio. traffic accident. It wasn't until he arrived at the workplace that he realized that he had become the leading actor in the scandal, and all this was because she said he was good-looking. To make matters worse, after everything, he had to wait for hours for her to start work, she had been in the house before being questioned by the police and cooperating with the investigation.

"I'm ashamed to see you," she said as soon as she saw Salvi, "I'm just a disaster—God, I'm so sorry, I hope this doesn't make you feel too uncomfortable— "

Famous for being "gossip with the leading actress" is the worst way for a director to enter the industry, which will make many people look at Salvi's work with colored glasses. If he has a famous feature film before, this is Everything may be different, but now Jenny can imagine where it will all go: now everyone will think that "Monroe" is her custom-made work for her little lover, and she chose Salvi not because His talent, but because of his face. And Salvi was already under pressure because his first work was a heavyweight cast, and what's more, the behind-the-scenes talk was on the news. Simply 'ashamed'.

"Compared with this, I care more about your mental state." Salvi said frankly that Jenny felt that he seemed to be a little unhappy (of course this is inevitable), but what made people feel relieved was that, Salvi doesn't seem to be affected by the media, he still maintains his gentlemanly demeanor, "As for other factors, it's no wonder you, Jennifer, on the contrary, I'm ashamed of what some of my compatriots have done, Please believe that most of the residents in London are friendly and sensible—"

He suddenly spread his hands, and smiled sheepishly and shyly, "Of course, if I put it that way, I can't explain who these newspapers are sold to."

Under his calm expression, Jenny's embarrassment has indeed eased a lot, and she even laughed, "Well, although my remarks are not so appropriate--"

"—but very flattering." Salvi said calmly, "But, let's get down to business, I am more concerned about your participation in the play..."

I have to say that Salvi's behavior is quite comfortable, and it can even be described as "like a spring breeze". It is effortless for Jenny to communicate with him, and some things don't even need to be said clearly: how to fight the media? The best way is to focus on the movie. Salvi is undoubtedly not a character who will be hypocritical enough to shout passionate slogans, but his indifferent attitude and natural focus of attention are clear enough for her.

Jenny breathed a sigh of relief. Up until now, she felt that she had truly calmed down for the first time, and all the impetuousness seemed to have been cleared out of her body.

Can't help but smile sincerely at Salvi, she talked about yesterday's state, "When I face the mirror, I really enter the role, and that feeling is a bit out of control, which is not common for me. The moment I walk out of the dressing room, I can clearly feel that I am not myself, but I don't want to eliminate this state, I just want to better control it..."

"Yes, it will be the key to the success or failure of the film." Salvi's eyes softened a lot, and they seemed to have reached a wordless tacit understanding. He didn't mention the paparazzi again, but brought some familiar Excited to talk about the movie. "After the official launch tomorrow, maybe you can practice a few key scenes with Simon in advance, will this help you grasp this state..."
