Hollywood Domination Chapter 463: Truth and Lies (Part 2)
"Oh my God, I know I should be happy that j.j is finally no longer surrounded by rumors, but now all I can care about is how j.j is doing now. From the news to the present, basically I don't eat much Need to eat! Seriously, I've lost 10 lbs - my parents almost suspected I was anorexic, but all I could really think about was j.j, and when I saw the news that morning, I was totally devastated I locked myself in my room and cried all morning—"
"Yes, I am the same. From that day to now, I haven't had a good night's sleep. Really, I wake up in the middle of the night and I have to turn on the computer to see if there is any new news about j.j. I wish I could turn on the news I saw the news of her waking up on the website, but every time I waited, I was disappointed. J.J, I am willing to share all the good luck in this life with you, as long as you can wake up healthy."
"I tattooed j.j's name on my chest, hoping to convey my heartbeat to it. This is a photo, and it's still a little red and swollen, but the tattoo artist said it will be fine soon."
“Ten facts that j.j moved us, number one: This girl was born in a broken family, grew up in a slum, but insisted on wearing the ring of innocence until she met the first important thing in her life The man, Josh Blanche, who ended up being her fiancé. Number two, her biggest dream was to go to college, and another great woman, Oprah, helped make it happen and became her A good friend and mentor, j.j donated money to set up several foundations to help girls who have the same dream! Third, her love and persistence in acting..."
"I am a church member of St. Ann's Church in New York. Will any church members go with me to pray for j.j? I hope God can kiss her again and let her create miracles. She is such a good, such a good girl—— "
"Do you still remember how sweet and happy her smile was at that time, how gentle Josh looked at her eyes, she and Josh are the couple I envy the most, God, the media stop talking about it now That **** is really lucky for them, otherwise I would be really **** and do something crazy, now the only thing we can do is pray for j.j, she will wake up, she will."
"Has anyone seen Zad Rupp? Seriously, has anyone seen him? They say he's a huge fan, and maybe we did meet him at some rally event, and I'm most My regret is that I didn't kill him then! That worm! That demon! I've never hated someone so much in my life!"
"The scariest thing about Zade is that he wants to destroy j.j's reputation, and use his vicious lies and rumors to distort our understanding of j.j, but he will not succeed! Evil is destined to destroy itself, His ending was very fitting, I heard that they used several plastic bags to carry him away - I have a friend who works in a coffee shop opposite the police station, he heard the conversation of the police, it is said that Cesare was Shot him so much that the upper half of his body was basically nothing but pieces - well done!"
"Let Zade howl in hell, j.j will definitely survive, she will get better and better!"
Drag the mouse expressionlessly, looking at the posts on the forum—although there are several posts that are obviously suspected of water postings, Jon has no intention of deleting them: Ever since Jenny was injured and admitted to the hospital, she fell into a coma. As the news spread, the number of posts on the forum suddenly rose to a higher level. Many Jennifer fans who usually don't come to the forum, or viewers who have a good impression, now feel that they need a platform to express their feelings, comfort each other, and Therefore, the online traffic of the number of registered forum members has increased several levels within a few days. Under such circumstances, the previous forum regulations inevitably failed to keep up with the changes, and the managers also concentrated their energy on deleting those malicious attacks. On the questioning posts, for these low-quality posts that only briefly express feelings, they just turn a blind eye and close one eye.
I missed every moment of falling in love with j.j in the past, and told how restless I was during this period, and even suffered from various disorders—crying from the class because of the news of j.j’s accident There were more than ten students who ran home), and there were those who scolded Zade as a coward and liar, these are basically the three major genres of expressive messages, in addition to those who broadcast news, and those who passed gossip, the forum almost every day There are hundreds of new posts, the page refreshes at a dizzying pace, and the admin group rings all the time, but Jon shows no sign of participating, and she barely manages the group The group spoke again, and the netizens did not question it—most of these close netizens knew that she was the unlucky female hostage in the news, and considering what she had experienced, she wanted to stay away from the Internet for a while. In reason.
However, this is only among acquaintances. For acquaintances, they can always get an answer, so patience will be more abundant, but for those strangers, they want to know what happened at that time What, of course the only way is to ask Jon directly, and they won't be so sympathetic to her mood - these days, Jon's forum messages, tweets and other messages have already exploded. The fans who posted on the forum that they missed j.j and fought with Zade, secretly asked about the mysterious half-hour truth, but they were not ambiguous at all. No matter what words were used to modify it, for Jon, the core issue was actually There is only one: We want to know what happened in that half hour, and we happen to know a person involved. Such resources cannot be wasted.
"Jon, remember me, I was aod2011 in imdb before, this incident really made me very depressed, my friends said that the rumor letter said it was true, it made me very Angry..."
"Jon, can I ask you a question, of course, you don't have to answer, but if you can, I'd be very happy-about that half hour, I heard Zad raped. It’s not that scary after leaving her, right? Can you tell me what happened at that time? I will never tell anyone!”
"Hello, I am..."
"About that half hour..."
In the densely packed letters, the words that Jon can recognize are becoming more and more limited-the strange thing is that many people ask for the truth on the grounds of 'being pressured by those around them', as if this can reduce the number of inquiries Private guilt, and of course, the repeated bombardment and even foul-mouthed replies because Jon didn't reply, also took a lot of share.
The phone vibrated slightly, she stopped the mechanical browsing, closed the browser, opened the phone to take a look, picked up the bag and walked out of the office door, several colleagues passed her by, and Jon could only I forced myself to nod and say hello to them, but I couldn't smile like I used to.
"Hey." Judy Ackerman said, she was waiting for her by a Christmas tree at the entrance of the office building. Half lit listlessly. It's like Judy—she's still wearing her designer suit, of course, but with dark glasses and a slightly listless tone.
Jon didn't speak, and walked directly to the parking lot, with Ackerman trotting behind her.
"There are no paparazzi to harass you anymore?" She didn't seem to mind Jon's indifference, but said familiarly. "It should be the same with Charles Harry. We greeted the media-they won't bother you anymore."
After Jenny was injured, Jon became the paparazzi's favorite object, which made her become a celebrity addict. Of course, the number of paparazzi tracking her can't be the same as Jenny, but there are For a period of time, as soon as she showed up, the media at the door would try to talk to her and dig out the truth for those 30 minutes—after the rumor letter was exposed, the matter reached its peak, but since the day the media turned around, the number of reporters It decreased suddenly, and even disappeared completely the next day, which made Jon somewhat guess the human factors behind it, so Judy's statement didn't surprise her.
"You want to interview me," she said, "Why?"
"Because we've been on the phone several times before." Judy said with a smile, her attitude was still so professional, neither arrogant nor impatient, showing strong confidence, as if she owned the whole conversation. "But the conversation has never progressed - Jon, we need you, j.j needs you, show up, talk about your thoughts, do an interview, or make a sound in the forum - whatever, but don't Keep silent."
This is not unexpected to Jon. In the past few days, Judy Ackerman has called several times. Behind her cautious words, her intentions are actually obvious—Joe Shh Blanche, Chris Hanks, and Claudia Hansen, the chairman of the Oscars, and even the producer of Fox News—she wants Jon to join them and fill in the last piece of the gap, she She is a witness, this is her most unique identity.
And Jon has already expressed his refusal attitude very clearly.
"Why me?" She sighed a little irritably, "I mean, Charles and Harry might be more suitable—"
"But none of them are the administrators of Jennifer's largest fan forum, and none of them are ifer." Ackerman said, she glanced at Jon, leading her astray-there leads to a quiet Lawns, almost deserted at this time of day, "maybe they'd be better suited, but we just want you."
Her condescending tone made Jon irritated for a moment, and for a moment, almost overloaded with emotions that had accumulated all this time, made her feel dizzy-seriously, all of this, those Internet posts , the characters that can drown her, as well as the ubiquitous media reports to clarify and press questions, repeated nightmares, the reappearance of the scene of being locked in the house, and the lingering Judy Ackerman, all made her have a She felt like she was about to break down, but she still managed to control herself, and instead of screaming at Judy, she just said as coldly as possible, "I don't know—what are you going to ask me to think, and what I said to the police Repeat the words? No rape, no bad words, most of the conversation, and we didn't hear anything?"
"Of course, that's not bad." Judy Ackerman showed a polite smile, and she seemed to be quite satisfied with the progress of the matter, "But we hope you can do more—if you can He told the media that Zad Rupp was telling Jennifer his fantasies during the entire kidnapping process. In his imagination, he had been in love with Jennifer, and he didn't mention anything in the rumor letter— —If you can say that, I'm sure me and j.j will be very grateful to you."
"Yes!" Jon almost blurted out, "But this is a lie! ’, but she quickly held back—the irony of this sentence was too obvious, and on the premise that she had already lied to the police, she found another reason, “But that’s not what I told the police— "
"The police will not be a problem." Ackerman said calmly, with the confidence and strength of his words, as if this was the truth.
Jon trembled slightly because of the hint hidden in the words. She pursed her lips and glanced at Ackerman——this woman's makeup was meticulous, and she looked very close to a socialite on the Upper East Side of New York image, but it is a bit more flamboyant than New York - a bit more Hollywood temperament, yes, she looks really Hollywood, flashy, hypocritical and complacent, thinking that she is the center of the world, always a dignified Jiang Gui acted as if he had everything under control, and this really aroused her anger.
"Is this what Cesare meant?" she asked, "He sent you to find me?"
She stared closely at Ackerman, and he couldn't help showing a little unnaturalness in her stare.
"Yes." She said, Jon exhaled, and Ackerman revised his statement again, "Well, no-but you have to believe that there is a very powerful big man behind me, so the police It won't be a problem over there—"
"Okay." Jon said, she felt a little relaxed for some reason—if Cesare had arranged all this, the whole thing would seem to have gotten worse. "So what is he up to lately, how is j.j's condition?"
Ackerman is visibly impatient, but polite nonetheless. "He is organizing a consultation, fighting for the right to sign, and deciding whether to have a craniotomy, because j.j's situation is more complicated - she has a lot of brain congestion, and she usually minds surgery to remove it, but the location is too sensitive, and the risk of surgery is somewhat High, we hope to arrange the best doctor for this operation - but on the other hand, her condition is improving day by day, the amount of congestion is gradually decreasing, it seems that she is absorbing blood clots on her own, so still waiting Further notice."
This news made Jon feel ups and downs, his heart constricted at first, and finally he relaxed, "Phew - it's okay, I hope she can recover as soon as possible!"
"Yes." Ackerman echoed, but in Jon's view, her expression was a bit insincere, and she couldn't wait to bring the topic back to her 'voice', "We are all fighting for j.j do what you can, and that's what I'm asking of you, Jon - we really need you to tell the public to stop guessing."
She looked at Jon earnestly, "Let this all stop completely, let Zad Rupp fail completely-this is what you can do for j.j, really, Jon, j.j needs you--"
"You need me." Jon interrupted her and said quietly, "J.J is still lying on the hospital bed and can't comment on the whole thing, and I don't think Cesare will need me now ..."
She thought for a while, "I think it's you and the so-called big force behind you who need me—but I'm sorry, my answer is still no."
Ackerman sighed annoyed, she looked at Jon as if looking at an ignorant child, "Jon, I don't want to insult you with money, I know you did all this because Your feelings for j.j—"
"Yes, I have deep feelings for Jennifer Jefferson - I have been her forum moderator for 10 years." Jon said, "I assume you have also been her PR for 10 years Is it?"
Ackerman seems to be very proud of such years of cooperation, her lips raised in a well-designed arc, not too big, maybe because of Botox, "Yes, since she debuted, I have been Her PR, her first Golden Globe Award, her first Oscar, and her first Venice Best Actress—all were witnessed by me.”
"Oh, that's a good relationship, that makes everything have a source," Jon said, and every word of Ackerman's words could make her angry, and she felt a slight dizziness again. The post appeared in her mind again, 'I haven't slept well since I got the news', 'After I got the news, I ran out of the classroom crying'-"I spent 10 years of time and effort for She gave, that kind of hard work and emotion, even you can't imagine-yes, of course I have feelings for her."
A look of joy flashed across Judy Ackerman's face, and Jon's soothing tone seemed to give her a wrong understanding.
"Ten years is more than a third of my life. In this life, j.j has always occupied a very important position. She is my sister, my mentor, my idol, and my pillar And my entertainment, all this emotion makes me have no regrets about time and money, I treasure all her variety shows, her movies, her paparazzi photos, her news videos, in my room have A special 'j.j cabinet'." Jon said, she suddenly felt like crying, "As long as I can say a word to her, it's my holiday, I used to love her so much-and you want to know What happened in that half hour?"
Ackerman seemed a little panicked, she didn't seem to expect Jon's reaction to be so intense, but Jon didn't give her a chance to speak.
"Oh, you've heard what happened in that half hour, haven't you, a confessional videotape, Zade let us witness the fall of an idol - those lies, all I treasure Group photo, Jenny and Josh, all the 'I can be as lucky as Jennifer and meet a co-star who saved my life and fall in love with him' in high school - I left it at the Oscars The tears I shed, all my feelings—"
Jon said viciously, "It's all the result of calculations, and it's all the product of public opinion marketing. I'm a fool. You got involved in this so-called star-making industry to squeeze out my time and my energy." My feelings are all raw materials for you to extract money and power, right? The bright red lipstick on your lips comes from lies, your designer bags, Ms. Ackerman, and famous cars, which one does not come from our contribution? You kill Killed ten years of my life by deceit - you and your team conspired with Jeanne Jefferson Cesare Vijay Josh Blanche to kill a third of me .”
Voices from all over the country, and even from all over the world, linger in her head, telling of tension, fear, anger, concern and blessings, which gradually push Jon's emotions up and down until she breaks through the fog of all ptsd reactions, Suddenly, everything was very clear, and she couldn't help laughing, "And do you know what is the most hateful thing about you? At least Cesare and Jeanne will feel ashamed, and they are ready to pay for it, and you , you murderer is still busy finding an accomplice to come on stage, singing such a despicable opera, and even turning around to find the biggest victim, hoping that she will cover your crime and dig her own grave A murderer is looking to a dead body to testify against you, to cover up your crimes - you know what, not everything works like this, you act for granted and then things go your way, ethics get bent, The world will go on and on, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang Everything—"
She stared at Ackerman hard, leaned forward, held back tears, and allowed herself to say softly, "You know what, after all of this, I really started to understand Zade, I started Understand his rage and extremes - in one way he's a psycho, but in another he sees it all and I really understand his rage and powerlessness. Ms. Ackerman, you're crazy and shameless Nasty cold-blooded clique, maybe you're powerful and smug about it, and see what's going on as a great show, but you're all criminals in my eyes, and it's disgusting, This freak show - Josh Chris Hawk, who's next, what's next? Aside from the stars, y'all going to keep blaspheming the law? And you **** are definitely the best of the bunch , Ackerman, I've seen it since day one - you're a cold-blooded freak, and all this spending around j.j is making you giddy, enjoying your life's best moments -"
"Enough!" Ackerman yelled, the smile on her lips finally breaking, her eyes staring sternly and her nostrils parted slightly, finally embracing her commercially cheerful mask. Showing a hideous shadow—she no longer concealed her impatience and superiority, but looked at Jon shrewdly and coldly from above, "How dare you talk to me like that—you spoiled stupid dude Children -"
Unlike Jon, once the embankment burst, Ackerman suddenly took another breath after a burst of reprimand, as if to suppress all the anger, she suppressed the trembling Put a smile on your face again, "Jon, I understand your anger, but I'm just doing my job, and Jenny is the same-one day you have to know that not all lies are malicious, sometimes they It's just... due to helplessness, things that exist have their own reasons, and whether it's true or not, the happiness you get from j.j is also true—"
Jon looked at her mockingly, and she really wanted to laugh now, "Oh, yes, 'It's a nice cut, anyway,' isn't it?"
The smile on Ackerman's face disappeared, and she said bluntly, "No matter what, at least I would not do such a thing to an actor I have liked for ten years, when she is still lying on the hospital bed—"
"You know, it's interesting that you've been talking about Jenny Jenny, implying to me how much she doesn't want to be exposed," Jon interrupted, "trying to kidnap me with emotion and basic empathy ——ok, so now I offer a quid pro quo, I go to the interview, say what you want, and at the same time you leave the team, no longer take money from j.j or Cesare, and the big guy behind you, you are right Public speaking of what you've been doing behind the scenes over the years - about actors you can remain anonymous, focus on yourself. Completely bury j.j's one with your confession letter - can you do that Ms. Ackerman ?”
Another trick failed, Ackerman's nose was dripping with sweat, that exquisite professional mask was already crumbling, and Jon lost the mood to continue bickering with her.
"Go away," she said calmly, "stop bothering me or I'll post a video and say it all - don't tell me the police are going to get me in trouble, I've asked, it's not true twice The confession has nothing to do with it, after all, the reason for my lying is also easy to understand, after all, 'No matter what, the wound from this knife is really beautiful'."
She made a double quotation mark, "Before you pulled it out, didn't you not realize its existence?"
Ackerman was watching her closely, savoring her every turn and pause, judging her intentions, Jon could sense it, and she was quick to judge.
"Okay, I can go," she said, adopting another negotiating exchange attitude, "Neither my team nor I will bother you or Harry Charles again-but you also have to give me One promise, Jon, one minimum promise, don't record that video, if you can't say anything, I understand, I can understand, it's not you, it's us, and I would like to apologize to you, Then just keep quiet and don't ruin everything - okay?"
"You don't need to apologize," said Jon. She felt her mind was extremely clear. The confusion these days had completely faded under Ackerman's stimulation. She suddenly saw herself clearly. Once, she knew exactly what she wanted to do. "I know you won't mean it—and I won't make you that promise."
Ackerman's shoulders flinched, and she stared at Jon as if she couldn't believe everything she said. And Jon shrugged and stood up from the grass.
"I know you want to take the memory card, you asked Charles and Harry," she said, "you didn't ask me, but I can also tell you that the memory card was destroyed, none of us No backup for it - it was an impulsive decision, including a few confessions afterward, and I guess it was just out of despicable inertia, I still want to defend Jennifer Jefferson, don't I? I don't want her to be Zade is ruined. But it's you, Ms. Ackerman, it's what you and your team, your so-called friends, have been doing these past few days that made it all clear to me -- in a sense, Zade is really right, you guys do need some punishment."
She shook her head and looked at Judy with some sympathy, "You are not the real creators, Ms. Ackerman, you don't have the power to manipulate the public, lie to everyone and get away with it - I'm thinking carefully Tell the truth, and the only thing stopping me is my feelings for Jennifer, although ironically, I know she really doesn't care if it all comes out."
Judy Ackerman opened his mouth to speak, but Jon pointed out a finger, "eh-eh, every word of yours will deepen my determination, so I suggest that for your own good, you'd better Better keep quiet, Ms. Ackerman, and don't ruin everything—okay?"
She took a few steps back and saw Ackerman shut his mouth tightly with a 'snap', then turned around and walked towards the parking lot, speeding up her pace, her heart was peaceful. Jon thought, "When I get home I'll turn on the computer and record what I'm trying to say--I've been thinking about it in my dreams, and end all the drama--Jennifer doesn't give a **** anyway, I know She really didn't care anymore, in that room, she was even vaguely looking forward to this, to end all of this, to let her face all the consequences, to repay everything, and finally—to live calmly in front of everyone, There is no longer any concealment."
She corrected herself again: not Jennifer, but Jennifer, everything about Jennifer is a lie, and everything about Jennifer—
"Well." Jon murmured to himself while driving, "It's not useless... In fact, she is really cool."
She parked the car in the garage, walked into the study, turned on the computer, and started the camera. She paused for a while, trying to organize a speech-to tell everyone everything, including her opinion of Jenny's rebuttal, don't blame her for all this, Judy Ackerman and Cesare both need to take responsibility for this, and this may even be an unspoken rule in the industry, but anyway, this shameful Deception can no longer continue——
Almost out of inertia, Jon opened her browser, and the tab page she browsed last time popped out and refreshed automatically, and all those characters came back to her eyes, swarming out of the screen Submerge her, her short messages, new posts on the forum, and comments on Twitter——
"Jon, do you know how Jennifer's injury is? God, I want to cry just thinking about it these days."
"You don't know me, I do, and I want to say, I'm a single mom living in Detroit with my daughter—we've had a hard time, but after I learned about Jennifer's story three years ago, I life has a new meaning and I want my daughter to be like Jennifer in the future. And this is really shocking to me, but I believe she will get through it. You guys were at a party once Here, you are the forum administrator again, god, you are really amazing, so if you can get in touch with her, please pass on my support, she made a difference in my life."
"We should organize a Twitter vigil."
"Jennifer...Chris...Zade...defeated..."
"I'm Amanda, this is the first time I'm speaking, what I want to say is that I'm a middle-aged mother in a small town in the south, and I see that many netizens on the forum have the same experience as me. My church canceled my proposed vigil after a rumor letter saying Jennifer's reputation should be questioned and she was not a good girl. I understand everyone's pain and we all want to support Jennifer and speak up for her, Me too, for this reason me and my best friend don't talk to each other right now and it's really hard in a small town, especially since she's your neighbor, but I hope everyone sticks around, Jennifer will prove it all , and we all know and will agree that she is the best girl in the world."
"Every time I fall into a low ebb, I will use j.j to encourage myself. This girl faces much greater difficulties than me, but she never gives up on difficulties and prefaces. J.j is honest, friendly and low-key. Courage is the light in my life, I think that's what liking an idol brings you the best, she's been with me through every low point of mine, this time it's time for us to be with her, stop Argue, wait quietly, give us our support at any time, the most important thing is to believe! Keep faith, keep hope, Jennifer will definitely wake up and recover, I firmly believe in this."
"We all love Jennifer..."
"Jennifer is like an angel..."
Almost instinctively, she browsed these latest messages, as if reviewing a certain part of the life of the person who left the message, and Jon certainly resonated with them, how could she not understand? In every trough of hers, didn't she look up at the poster of Jennifer, look at this beautiful girl who is only three years older than her, and imagine her hard work and struggle - watching her video, admiring her Smiling, staring at the screen and laughing foolishly, feeling a little bit happier than the previous moment - to her, Jennifer is indeed the best girl in the world, and - and -
She closed the page with trembling hands, returned to the recording interface, stared at herself in the camera, and suddenly realized clearly what this video would bring—just like she had clearly realized what she wanted to do just now Like anything, Jon was only now aware of exactly what her fellow countrymen, friends, and kindred were expecting, and the consequences of her own actions.
Jennie deserves to pay, Ackerman and her gang deserve to be spurned and punished, and she just—she just—
Every time I hit a low point - my life has new meaning - ten years, more than a third of my life - I haven't slept since that night Good sleep——
"Ohgod." Jon whispered, she suddenly realized what she was thinking, and was almost stunned by herself-she looked around, hoping to find some revelation, "ohmygod, god—god..."
She suddenly burst into tears, threw herself into the palm of her hand, and buried her head in front of the computer screen, hoping that God would give her some enlightenment, she couldn't help scolding herself, as if she was confessing to the silent God , "You are so hypocritical, Jon, so weak—Jesus, you are so kitsch..."
The sound of loud and loud crying echoed in the spacious bedroom—it didn't know how long it took before Jon's shoulders gradually stopped twitching. Simple cleaning job, turned the camera back on.
"I'm Joanna Tatefer." She said, couldn't help sniffling again, almost numbly, "I'm the administrator of the Jennifer forum, and I'm also the one in the incident you know I recorded this video to explain what happened in the house that day. I know that there are many people who care about this. I made up my mind to keep silent, but I found that in all After all the turmoil that happened, it became somewhat impossible. As a member of Jennifer's fans, as a long-time friend, I have the responsibility to answer the fans' questions, not to the media and the public, but to the brothers and sisters of the forum, to the Friends who also like Jennifer..."
She paused for a moment - it was so hard to speak out at this moment - Jon closed his eyes, she didn't know where she got the strength to continue, but she did it after all, "That day At night..."
