Hollywood Domination Chapter 114: Fire

"I'm surfing the Internet now." Jon turned on the computer while talking on the phone with Lynn, "Is it really that exaggerated? I turned on the computer after turning down an appointment—"

In 2005, mobile phones were not so smart, and data charges were relatively expensive. If you want to browse the web without any obstacles, you really have to find a computer. After Jon received Lynn's call, he felt that the situation was quite exaggerated, and he was also worried that there might be signs of fan riots in the discussion forum she managed, so he simply postponed the appointment, went home to watch the news, and planned a fan forum with the management team. Official caliber: let’s not talk about the truth of the matter, even if Jennifer is really in two boats, die-hard fans like Jon will certainly not abandon her, they are all loyal fans since the musical theater period , What I like is Jennifer's acting skills and demeanor, not her background and the relationship with Josh. For them, as long as Jennifer doesn't do extreme incidents such as insulting fans, touting Nazis, and making racially discriminatory remarks, the rest of the things are understandable, even if they really step on two boats, so what? Artists, such things are not uncommon in Hollywood.

Of course, this is also the idea of ​​hardcore fans. The general fans may be disappointed with Jennifer because of this, and the public will lose points because of this. It's just media hype and misinformation, although Jennifer is not the most orthodox American sweetheart - her role is not as typical as Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon, except for " Except for "The Notebook", it can be said that the characters all have a kind of wildness, but her image in the folks has always been very positive and sunny. Jon doesn't want to see Jennifer being involved in moral criticism, which is very important to her. The next step is bound to be hindered. The reason why she is eager to find out whether Jennifer is having an affair is because she hopes to do her best to guide the comments on the fan forum-at such a moment, even if it is only the official fan organization, as long as there is a little Authoritative, fans will believe their words, maybe they will change their original attitude towards this matter, and will not be so rashly disappointed with Jennifer.

After logging in to MSN, Skype and ICQ, Jon skillfully opened several fan gossip websites and read the news first. A sleepover at home seemed a no-brainer, and he hadn't changed, which was indeed misleading. But then again, if it was really an affair, would Jennifer do such a stupid thing?

With such doubts, she went to look at Hilton's blog again. Looking at the photo of the two of them looking at each other and smiling, Jon was also a little depressed: Well, although she also likes Josh Bran very much Strange, but it cannot be denied that this CAA agent named Cesare Vijari is indeed very attractive. He should be a model instead of working as an agent to bring Jennifer such meaningless Trouble——If Vijay was a middle-aged man, these few photos might not cause any trouble at all. It’s too normal for managers and artists to chat, even if they spend the night in Jennifer’s mansion, there is nothing to say. There are always many situations in the relationship between friends. It is not a big deal to stay overnight for a day or two in case of an emergency, and others will not think too much at all. The problem is that Vijay and Jennifer are so right, especially this photo of the two talking on the terrace, it seems so affectionate and compatible, even more than many streets of Jennifer and Josh Take, although this pair has always been known for their emotional stability and sweetness.

Well, if Jennifer really has two boats with one foot...then these two are also young talents after all, and both of them are the lucky ones in Hollywood, Jon thought a little bit bitterly. I won’t admit it to others, but for her, what’s more terrifying than being in two boats is that Jennifer falls in love with some unattractive objects, such as Britney, and actually associates with paparazzi, which is even worse than smoking/drugs , conflicts with paparazzi and other news disappointed passers-by like Jon even more. She didn't know why she had such thoughts, but indeed, this kind of thoughts came from her heart, and it was difficult for Jon to control herself. ——Even if Josh and Jennifer broke up, and Jennifer was scolded by the public, but after the storm passed, she could still be with a suitable partner—she didn’t know what to say , Anyway, the style is still there. If you are really with those who don't match, it will feel a bit out of style, making it difficult to worship her anymore.

"Didn't the previous gossip magazines hint that J.J and Josh were engaged?" The multi-person conversation that popped up in the MSN group brought Jon back to his senses, and she hurried back to the forum she managed to read. Post, what Jon is most worried about now is that fans of Josh Branch will make trouble after receiving the news. Although the relationship between J.J and Josh is very stable, the relationship between the two fans is not good, because Josh has a group of girls Fans have always felt that J.J is not good enough for Josh, and although most of J.J’s fans are affirmative and blessed for this relationship, there are also some male fans who think that Josh is not comparable to J.J at all, and he is completely superior J.J., whose career is booming now. It is conceivable that after the news is released, a large number of unhappy Josh fans will rush in and insult J.J.

Browsing through the page hastily, Jon was taken aback for a moment. Compared with what she expected, the reality is much better. There are not many abusive posts and scolding posts in the forum, only a few posts were obviously sent by Josh fans to protest. post, but judging from the content of the last reply, the atmosphere is actually quite peaceful. On the contrary, there are several posts titled "Vijari and J.J's relationship" and "Cesare Vijari-Who is he?", which have been marked with the Hot logo of hot posts.

"Strange..." Jon muttered, and looked in the ONTD and news comments. There were a lot of extreme Josh fans scolding, but most of the replies were gossip. Mentality, compared to the suspicion that J.J is on two boats, most people pay more attention to Cesare Vigeri. ——Although it was just a few sneak shots, not a fashion photo, his outstanding appearance and temperament have already attracted a large number of gossip girls (it cannot be denied that there are slightly more women than men who read gossip online) Praise and nympho.

"He should come out and act, He'sSoooooooooHoooooooooot."

"I understand J.J too well. If I were her, I would abandon Josh Blanche without hesitation. Compared with this man, Josh is just a brat, as widowed as chewing gum. Tasteless."

"Anyone know where to find more info on him? His profile? I'm dying to know everything about him, I'm totally obsessed with him."

Cesare Vijari, Cesare Vijari... In this news, at least judging from the feedback on the Internet, he has completely overshadowed J.J's limelight, let alone this Then gossip. Many replyers think that these photos are commonplace, "Who knows if there will be someone else in the place where the camera can't find it? Maybe Josh is in the room, but he didn't come out. Now that "Prada" is popular, The media is going crazy in order to get news about J.J. This should be a self-directed and self-acted news production."

For Hollywood stars, it is common for unscrupulous tabloids to make their news. On the tabloids, news about Britney’s suicide is reported every day. If it is true every time, fans will have no peace . The reason why the news this time is important is also because of the photos, which seem to have evidence. However, seeing the feedback under the news, Jon began to feel that he was a little allergic. In the eyes of the public, the news seemed boring, and it was not as interesting as a handsome agent. It seems that this time there is no need to defend J.J in the comment area.

Relaxed and returned to his own forum, Jon clicked on the post he was curious about just now - she is also a girl, and Jon must be very interested in the handsome manager in this photo.

This is an unfamiliar ID. Jon noticed that it has been registered for a long time, but the number of speeches is very small, and it is not a familiar face in the forum. 'Cesare Vijari-Who is he' and 'Cesare Vijari and J.J's relationship' are both posted by him or her, in 'Cesare Vijari- In Who the **** is he' post, the poster introduces himself.

'I'm a fan of him. I've noticed this handsome manager since Jennifer Bell's time. He was only 20 years old at the time, and he hadn't even officially graduated from college...'

This Vijri fan revealed some information she collected: Cesare Vijeri is the best agent in CAA, he is also the agent for Christopher Hanks, Leonardo Dica Prio, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Bell, Jennifer Jefferson, and friends of Johnny Depp and others, and have contacts and friendship with many big names in the industry, He is even good friends with Josh Blanche himself and his agent, and he should be the one who brokered the cooperation between Josh and Jenny. Jennifer Jefferson should be the new star he discovered by himself, that's why she signed up for this forum.

According to the caliber in this post, Cesare is a workaholic, and his views on scripts are very unique. The poster believes that Cesare stayed at Jennifer's residence overnight, and it should be to help her choose scripts, because Jennifer It's time for Fu to make a film for the prize. —and Jon thinks the idea is very reasonable!

Looking at the so-called private photo collection of the poster, which is the figure of Cesare Vijri she found from paparazzi photos over the years, Jon was even more relieved. Cesare often goes on vacation with his red stars, participates in activities abroad, and has lunch together... Although he is not the main character in these photos, and sometimes deliberately avoids showing himself in front of the camera, it is not difficult to identify himself in comparison : He's going on vacation with Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend, so what's a sleepover at J.J's mansion? In that photo, isn't there an assistant sitting in the car? How could you be so bold if you wanted to have an affair?

Another post is a collection of paparazzi photos with the theme of J.J and his relationship. After seeing it, Jon is completely relieved—it turns out that J.J and Cesare Vijari’s girlfriend are also good friends, and the paparazzi has many J.J Jon himself has seen many of the street photos of eating with the two of them, but she just passed by the couple as passers-by. So what's wrong with this? As most people say, it is nothing more than another paparazzi hype.

After marking and highlighting these two posts, Jon wrote an announcement, clarifying the facts, telling everyone not to trust the media, and went back to the public forum to check, and found that ONTD had also reposted it This post—maybe considering the heightened curiosity about Cesare Vijri in the reply, the following is already full of admiration and **** for Cesare Vijri. At this time, she has completely let go of her heart ...

Wait until that night, PageSix posted new street photos and a video: Josh Branch was not affected by the scandal, and went out to eat with his girlfriend as usual. Josh also personally clarified the oolong to the paparazzi this morning.

"Guys, this was a total misunderstanding, you know I'm on vacation lately - I've been at J.J's almost the last few days, except that night I had dinner with Chesa, he came for work Here, in that room, nothing like what you are guessing happened."

However, when the paparazzi smartly asked, "So are you planning to live together? Hey, J.J., are you still wearing your virginity ring?", both Jennifer and Josh just shook their heads and smiled. After speaking, Jennifer held Josh's hand and whispered a few words to him, and the two of them got into the car, and the video ended here.

"The chaos is over." After seeing this video, Jon let out a sigh of relief. The two posts introducing Cesare did not completely suppress the voice of discussion, but after this video was posted, the disturbance immediately subsided, and no one posted any posts that hated J.J.

As for Jennifer's own fan forum, it is even more peaceful, but some posts are vaguely regrettable: Doesn't this mean that J.J and Cesare are really just friends? This makes people very reluctant, after all, from their point of view, Jennifer is more suitable for this handsome manager than Josh...

This gossip news has existed for less than two days, and it has lost its attention. Although a large number of groups have also been aroused interest in Cesare Vijri, but this is 2005 In 2010, the power of the Internet was not so big and crazy, and this wave of interest did not attract much attention. Only a few small communities quietly opened on LiveJournal-the theme of the community was taken from the street photos and videos of celebrities. Follow Cesare Vijri's appearance.

Only two days of news, more like a harmless farce, in addition to the website is generally reproduced, and now also occupy the media trend of paper, TV media - that is, those who love to watch "Oprah Show" Crowds, and the only medium the parents cared about—neither reported it. After all, although TV news is broadcast every day, TV stations can’t rely on a few street photos to come up with a piece of speculative news. They are still much more serious than the Internet. Only news that is proven to be true will get their attention and coverage. As for the paper media, the news published that morning was silenced in the evening, so what else is there to publish? Is it necessary to post 'paparazzi stir up news and be misunderstood'? If J.J really cheated, then no one can press them to report, but now everything is just a misunderstanding, so Judy Ackerman has always had a good relationship with the major media, and they also There is no need to ruin the relationship between them just because of this matter. What's more, Judy promised that there will be news about J.J in the near future, and she will also give some exclusive street photos for them to publish. This is already very good for them of compensation.

A scandal that was unintentionally aroused quietly ended within a few days. It is estimated that it will be forgotten by the fickle media and the public within a week. And how many people have put in so much energy and saliva behind this, and how much economic value has been created by this scandal, it is beyond the knowledge of outsiders.

"Very well, the person who can notify you to suspend posting." In her large living room, Jenny finally finished browsing ONTD, she closed her laptop, said to Jim on the opposite side of the sofa with satisfaction, and added One sentence, "In the future, you will use another computer to do this, and use an agent to contact the next one—you know computer knowledge, and don't let hackers chase you."

"OK." Jim wiped the sweat off his cheek, still staring at the screen and gesticulating, he said smartly. "I will register some backup IDs on all major fan sites, so that you don't need to contribute IDs in the future."

"Good idea, same as I thought." Jenny nodded approvingly, "All these batches of IDs will be invalidated this time, and I hope that all the clues can't be traced back to me when the navy is dispatched next time. , you know what I mean, Jim?"

"Of course," Jim responded with a confident raised eyebrow. He is a so-so broker, and he can be said to have a serious lack of confidence, but he is a good Internet broker material. When Jenny explained to him what she wanted to do, Jim understood her intentions within a few minutes, and told her that he had a programming certificate, tried to be a hacker in college, and switched to brokerage because Jim was well educated, and he was really badly gifted at that.

It doesn't matter if you are badly talented, common sense is enough. Strictly speaking, what Jenny is going to do now is not illegal, and it is not even a lie. Even if she is exposed, there is nothing shameful. better. So she handed this matter over to Jim with confidence, and she was also very satisfied with his performance: Jim is worthy of being an agent for many years, and he has accurately grasped the key to this matter-in this matter, the most critical The point is not to defend her that she has done nothing wrong. This kind of justification will only arouse the public's resentment and refutation. The comments are all in a nonchalant attitude, and there is no wave of gossip and heated discussions among the whole people, even fans of J.J and Josh. These two waves of the most easily instigated forces have not caused waves.

For the media, what they need is to attract attention. If there is a heated discussion on the Internet and the paper media follow up, this matter will become a big problem. After that, every time Jenny and Cesare appear together will be a very good eye-catching topic . It also includes Josh's follow-up reaction and so on... As long as the public's interest in her private life is fixed, no matter how Jenny reacts, the media will definitely win. After all, even if Jenny and Josh want to refute, they have to go through the media, so They are tantamount to dealers, and they are sure to win and never lose.

And if this is the case, then Jenny will be a complete loser. If she does not refute and just waits for the storm to pass, then this image of cheating and suspicion will be fixed, and it will be herself who will lose, and the public favor that will be lost. It won’t be so easy to come back—if she refutes, the attention will continue to burn, and the image of this cheating cloud will still be fixed, because the public doesn’t care about justice, they only remember this headline that shines in front of them all the time : Suspicion of derailment. So she is the one who loses, and in such an environment, if she and Cesare want to continue their cooperation, every time they appear together in public, it will arouse speculation and discussion, and it doesn't matter how much the damage to the style is. Calculated, she wants to be a movie star, not a celebrity who sells her private life. If the public's impression of her tends to be the latter, this loss may even directly affect her box office appeal. Although it doesn't mean that if you beat her to death, you won't be an A-lister in the future, but it is annoying enough to have such troubles. If nothing else, it is very annoying to say that you are constantly harassed by paparazzi.

But now, the media thinks that the public is not very concerned about the suspicion of cheating, even the most excitable netizens are not interested, but are more concerned about how handsome Cesare Vigeri is. This news has no hype value, so after they give up, it will not form a cycle of media hype-audience hot discussion-media continues to hype, and the audience will naturally give up paying attention to this news, which means that the fire is just beginning to germinate , It is not very prosperous, and it will be wiped out when it can be controlled. Although it seems simple, people who know how to do it must know how many future troubles it has avoided.

"The mentality of the herd," Jenny is also relaxed now, she smiled and said to Cesare who was standing by the bar, "This is what you taught me, as long as there are enough comments of 'it's nothing', even if the emotions are Excited commenters are going to think about it too, right? And then they'll see that it's really nothing."

Cesare nodded silently, and still looked at Jenny with the attitude of 'I can't understand you'. When Jenny deployed the whole thing, he kept silent and did not give the slightest opinion. It was rare for Cesare.

When I was busy before, of course I wished that Cesare would shut up and not give layman guidance—er, at least half an expert. Now he can be regarded as half an expert, and of course he knows better than Cesare. However, now that she is free, Jenny hopes that Cesare can help her fill in the gaps and check for any flaws in her thinking. Seeing that Cesare didn't answer, she walked up to him, "What do you think I can do?" Is it not good? Cesare, I am determined to go my own way, but you don't argue with me, which makes me very uncomfortable."

"You did a good job." Cesare shook his head, his tone was very calm, "In fact, in this field, I found that you are more proficient than me, you are my teacher, I learned a lot today .”

He seldom praised Jenny. Jenny didn't like this much before, but now she's used to it, and she's not used to getting Cesare's praise, "Stop complimenting me, Cesare——"

"He's not a compliment," exclaimed Jim, still typing, "You totally opened up my world today, J.J. I never knew you were—I didn't know. Marketing? Marketing. ?Guiding public opinion?—Have such a deep understanding.”

"That's exactly what I think." Cesare took a sip of the brandy, and looked at Jenny with the same deep eyes and strange expression. "I never knew that you were a genius in online marketing. After the rise of the Internet, of course many people realized its great power. It brought the stars and the public closer than ever before, and it also allowed PRs to control the power of the media. Ambition has become a joke. But even so, almost everyone I know is just passively enduring its effects, and thinking about harnessing the power of the internet through blogging is way ahead of its time...Jeff Sen, what you do today may not be difficult, but in Hollywood, you should be ahead of everyone... before you, no one has ever tried to manipulate Internet public opinion, and you not only thought of it, but also did it Very successful."

Chen Zhen couldn't help feeling ashamed for a while, but she also had the pleasure of "using the advantages of the time traveler to beat the contemporary people". In fact, many things are indeed very simple, but no one thought of it at the time. When I woke up, no one would have thought that it would become the home of the navy. When Sina Weibo first started, no one would have thought that jokes can be exchanged for money. In the Internet age, by manipulating Internet public opinion, it will in turn influence Physical media, just like turning the loom down, are all inventions, including of course paying people to post in early 2005. Like the A-lister secrets that Cesare taught her, the secrets here are basically worthless. Who doesn't know that being a star requires style? But if you don't say it, others may not really be able to imagine it.

"However, what I'm more curious about is why you know this," Cesare continued to stare at her, "—with all due respect, in my heart, you are of course hardworking and clever, but I'm afraid you don't have the skills to do so." Such groundbreaking vision.”

Jenny also has to admit that Cesare's vision is precise, because she really has no foresight, and she just picked the fruits of the wisdom of later generations. She said cheekily, "Just take it as my genius instinct..."

"Does intuition have such a mature thinking?" Cesare asked back, "You even take care of the details very thoughtfully, and you have thought about many orders, as if you have a lot of experience..."

Seeing Jenny's face, he smiled and didn't continue the topic, "I'm an agent, and it's my job to look at people, but you seem to be able to surprise me all the time—so, next time, you want to Are you using your cyber army for revenge?"

"That's what I mean." Jenny admitted frankly, "You know me, Chesa, Nobody*ingwithJ.J, of course, if you think this matter will hinder my progress to the top—"

"This matter is not consuming your energy, but your money." Although they were talking about Jennifer Bell, Cesare didn't reveal much of their close relationship, but only said indifferently. "I don't have any opinion - when you become an A-lister, this is also a compulsory course for you, whether it's fighting other A-listers, stepping on newcomers you think are threatening, or going to higher levels Launching an impact is commonplace for A-listers. There are many people who have the ability to enter the A-list, but there are only a few vacancies. Those on the list want to keep their positions, while those outside the list want them to leave as soon as possible. What I said to you years ago is no longer applicable, of course, you still have to divide your energy."

"I won't steal the show." Not only was Jenny radiant, she said excitedly, "I'm not going to hang on to this matter all the time, in fact, I don't want to have anything to do with myself , I just pay for it—"

Judging from Cesare's nod, he understands what she means and is willing to cooperate - paying someone to say good things about him and paying someone to step on Bell are definitely two different things, Jenny's Paying money is definitely not as simple as giving money to Jim directly, and Jim giving the money to the other party. The money will go through layers of turnover, covered by several companies, and finally come to the other party's account. And it seems that Cesare is willing to do it for her.

A turmoil can inspire her to start what may be the first navy in Hollywood. Although this navy is only used to get revenge on Bell, Jenny is still very excited, and her mood is of course much better. , but there is still a little regret: "It's a pity that the cyber army is useful to Bell, but it can't deal with Yinuo."

"You are such an aggressive girl, Jefferson." Cesare was amused by her words, "It seems that Eno didn't offend you?"

Jenny smiled and said nothing: Judging from the disagreement in the script - Nora's informant - Ino's poaching, the line between Bell and Ino is obvious. This time, if the mastermind behind this incident was not Bell, then Eno. Of course, it is also possible that the two cooperated tacitly. Otherwise, how could PageSix publish this news so quickly without even communicating with Judy beforehand? Bell's PR doesn't have such great ability and courage—he also has to take Cesare's mood into consideration. It would be different if it was Eno who made the move. After all, if this matter got serious, Bell might not get any direct benefits, but Eno would immediately get Jennifer Jay, who was inconvenient to continue working with Cesare. Ferson.

Of course, Eno didn't have too much malice towards her, and this turmoil didn't count as killing her. It could only be said that it was using the media to induce public opinion and cause her some trouble. There was no slanderous rumor. The reason why Jenny said this was to tell Cesare that she remained loyal (Royal) in this matter and stood on the same side with him.

"It's true that you can't use these methods to deal with Yinuo." Cesare didn't mean to continue to pretend to be stupid, he said, "but there is no need to expand the war now. After I transfer Jim to you as the manager, Yi Nuo Nuo should understand what I mean, if I'm not wrong, he won't make another shot in the short term."

Jenny raised her eyebrows, "You mean—"

"A person's energy is always limited." Cesare said lightly, "I also have to make a choice--Actually, Yinuo is really good at seeing people. If it wasn't for the episode of the big dream, I would have There is no plan for him to retire as CEO.”

This is tantamount to saying that after the big box office of "Prada", he will take advantage of Jenny's rising momentum to seek a higher position, and it is difficult to say that he will even seek the throne of CEO. Jenny was speechless for a few seconds, savoring Cesare's performance before and after the release of "Prada", she was also a little emotional - maybe in Internet marketing, Cesare is her teacher, but in the workplace and shopping malls, she I feel that I still have a lot to learn from Cesare.

She calmed down, picked up the wine glass and touched Cesare, "I believe that the dream will not let you down."

"With me joining, Big Dream will certainly not disappoint you." Cesare said with a smile, he casually drank the contents of the glass, took the bottle, lowered his light golden eyelashes, and added wine for Jenny.

Jenny couldn't help laughing, imitating Cesare's tone, and said confidently, "Don't worry, my 'genius instinct'——"

She made a double quote, "I won't let you down."

The two men's eyes met, they looked at each other for a moment, and then they smiled tacitly. Intuition, even including the 20 million statement at the time of capital injection and share split, was to test Jenny’s sincerity, to see if she would inflate herself after the success of "Prada", thinking that she could get rid of him and go it alone. If Jenny's answer at that time did not satisfy him, it is very likely that he would continue his career plan instead and challenge for the position of president of Yinuo CAA. For him, the reason why he broke his original career plan and stepped into his big dream was definitely not because of Jenny's tens of millions of small favors, but her "genius intuition" that can turn iron into gold. Whether the cooperation between the two can be pleasant and long-lasting, in addition to Cesare's ability, depends on how effective Jenny's intuition is. If Jenny has no 'intuition' and just enjoys the dividends of Cesare's investment, then Cesare It must be a matter of time for Lei to get rid of her and go it alone.

Looks like I still need to find more scripts...

Jenny drank the cold and mellow wine, thinking about the itinerary for a period of time in the future, while Cesare continued to say after drinking, "I have to say, your performance this time is really excellent, so I have to adjust Regarding your evaluation, this time Disney’s request actually has some inside information, I didn’t intend to tell you before..."

The author has something to say: Note: I really don't know if there is an internet troll in the European and American entertainment circles, as defined by our country, who collect money to post to guide online public opinion. Anyway, at least it wasn’t in 2005. At that time, the online social circle was still relatively small. In our country, the entertainment gossip was only published for one year. I remember that the posts at that time were still very pure...

If you have knowledge in this area, please remind me.

There are so many words today...
