First, 《Los Angeles Metropolis News》, as expected by Eric, once again exposed the photos of Julia leaving the house of Eric, and specifically mentioned the carnival party held by Eric at home, but it brought the events of the members of the crew of "Home Alone" in one stroke. The language band ambiguously focused on describing those beautiful young women.
Next, some newspaper followed suit and did not know where to find some plausible news, so as to criticize the personal conduct of Eric. Eric gradually gradually abandoned his girlfriend and became a minor girl after turning from an inspirational youth to fame. Relationships, lingering party playboy, the extravagant life.
"... Maybe Eric Williams is indeed a somewhat talented young man, but after obtaining too much wealth too easily, this young man obviously began to degenerate at an unintelligible speed ..."
"... I just abandoned my girlfriend at the end of the period, and spent time with Drew · Barrymore *, Eric Williams immediately changed a new woman. According to the survey, the big-mouthed beauty in the photo is in the release of 《Mystic Pizza》 Heroine ... "
"... It ’s hard to imagine that Eric Williams will start with Drew, who is only 13 years old. Personally, I think there must be hidden secrets. In any case, the behavior of Eric Williams has touched the California law. I seem to have seen it. The second Roman Polanski, also the talented Director, committed the same unforgivable crime. In order to prevent Eric Williams from escaping like Roman Polanski to escape legal responsibility, I think the Los Angeles police should promptly respond to Eric Williams Take measures ... "
Even some bottomless entertainment gossip newspaper, after finding no more breaking news, began to fabricate baselessly out of thin air. For a time, the good public image originally created by Eric was crumbling.
After Fox found that the storm had slightly expanded, it immediately responded. The "17 Again" produced by the other party is still on fire, and they have just bought out the overseas distribution rights of "Home Alone". If the Eric image of the actor and Director is allowed to be damaged, it is obviously them who have suffered direct economic losses.
As for Columbia, 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 negative publicity department of Columbia also mentioned the matter of doing public relations for Eric to the boss, but none of the proposals were approved. The last time Blunt · Cohen was disgraced by Eric, the senior officials of the Propaganda Department even doubted whether there would be Blunt · Cohen's advice behind these storms, so they were not willing to take risks for Eric.
News Corp started out as a paper-based media. It has played a lot of tricks to increase sales by discrediting public figures, and the corresponding party was easy to deal with when it was discredited.
Soon, under the negotiation of Fox and Eric himself, the counterattack quickly launched. While reversing the image of Eric through various media, Fox picked a few familiar movies from the recent releases, and the background is not very clean Actor Following the hype with Director, for a while North America newspaper appeared to be a bit of a haunting dance, and the focus on Eric was quickly dispersed.
People are gradually smelling an unusual meaning from these flying gossip. Although the media is good at manipulating people's hearts, if it is really blind to the people as a fool to play, in the end, it is only you who can be stupid.
Soon, a less well-known "Hollywood Reporter" published a special review article on the front page headline, completely uncovering the undercurrent buried under this storm.
"Christmas farce: all Box Office blame"
"When the annual Christmas film comes, the Film Studio used to do everything to promote its own work in this year, but this year it is using a series of despicable smearing methods to suppress its competitors. Everything starts from one. The magical rise of a young boy named Eric Williams. "
"After the release of Box Office in the new week, the sum of the two movies related to Eric Williams, Box Office, has broken through 100 million USD, especially the low-cost comedy" Home Alone ". After Box Office bucked the trend in the second week, only 20% in the third week Weak Box Office decline, get 23,150,000 USD Box Office, three-week total Box Office is close to 80 million USD, directly squeezed into the sixth position of the annual Box Office rankings, the miracle trend is already unstoppable. "
"As we all know, the total amount of Box Office and the number of movie viewers for the Christmas period are limited, and the major Film Studio will gradually withdraw from a series of annual blockbuster blockbusters. Therefore, in order to compete for Box Office share, recently Eric Williams himself has suffered from various The reproach scandal seems logical. "
"No matter what the behavior of Eric Williams is, I will not talk about what a series of film and television stars have recently been attacked by public opinion. What we have done is we are here to appeal to the major Film Studio should remain calm and return to normal Competitive track comes up. Suppressing opponents through abnormal means will eventually lead to self-eating. "
The new article of "Hollywood Reporter" seems to be a signal. While the famous newspapers have been reprinted one after another, the gangsters who manipulate this public opinion storm and want to bring Eric down to dust have to converge because They found that Eric is no longer alone, and the quick and fierce counterattack of News Corp clearly shows that Eric Williams has formed a stable interest alliance with Fox.
Although some tabloid newspapers who are unwilling to give up the topic are entangled, most of the more influential newspapers have tacitly stopped attacking competitors.
It seems that this storm has passed.
A few days later, Eric, who was chased and blocked by paparazzi, was finally moved into the Beverly Hills mansion and closed the door tightly. Eric no longer needs to see through the window as it is in the North Hollywood apartment. Long slipped outside paparazzi car.
Jeffrey · Hansson looked at the high wall outside the mansion and greeted the doorbell with some envy. After a few minutes, Eric opened the door and welcomed Jeffrey · Hansson.
Stop car in front of the villa, Jeffrey · Hansson asked: "Eric, what have you been doing at home recently, have you not been out for several days?"
When mentioning this matter, Eric is super depressed. After the formalities of Firefly Film Studio are completed, there are not many things that require him to come out in person. In addition, going out will be chased and blocked by paparazzi. Eric has basically stayed at home these days. Compared to the happy lives of previous life otakus, this era of no Internet and no smartphone really made Eric a traverser boring and crazy.
"Write novels, write script, watch TV ... Anyway, it ’s boring. I do n’t even dare to go out in this situation. Last time I just passed a convenience store and bought a bottle of beverage. The next day there was on tabloid newspaper. I reported the devil's claw to the cashier girl in that supermarket. "
Jeffrey laughed when he couldn't help but gloating.
Eric led Jeffrey · Hansson into the study on the second floor of the villa. Just when he entered the door, Jeffrey saw an oversized wooden writing board hanging on one wall of the study. The dense newspaper clippings and graffiti-filled manuscript paper were nailed to the writing board by a pin.
"What are these for?" Jeffrey walked in curiously and asked.
"It's useless," Eric stepped forward and pulled off a piece of newspaper clippings. He smiled and said, "I'm bored at home, so I tried to analyze from these gossip newspaper information who is tossing me behind me, and I will develop in the future , Calculate the accounts after the autumn. "
Jeffrey ridiculed: "You think you are Sherlock Holmes, if you can tell from these, the old fritters will be in vain."
Eric shrugged. In fact, he was quite lucky, because Fox, a temporary alliance of interests, was pulled back on the brink of the storm. Compared with the Michael · Jackson that previous life touched the interests of too many people but was tossed alone, Eric did not dare to ask for anything more.
Apart from these thoughts, Eric asked: "Oh, Jeffrey, how are things going?"
Jeffrey listened to this sentence, and with some complaints, pulled out a large stack of documents from the briefcase: "You Boss is really leisurely, and everything is thrown to me. I am already in the office building of the company. It took about half a month to renovate. Also, this is some Brokerage Firm information you asked me to find, Eric, did you really decide to buy an Agents Corporation? "
Eric received the information and said: "Of course, you have also seen the Stewart · Rankel thing. Caa is now holding the other person tightly in his hand and waiting for me to strike a stroke. I cannot always train others. Stars. "
"However, the Federal Monopoly Law stipulates that Film Studio cannot have Agents Corporation at the same time."
Eric read through the materials in his hand and replied: "Of course I know that I did not plan to merge the two companies together. In my assumption, Film Studio and Agents Corporation are completely independent, and there is no legal problem. "
"consider as finished, you can do it yourself, by the way, have you written the new movie script?"
Eric found a stack of manuscripts on the desk full of newspaper and handed them to Jeffrey: "Write it, would you read it first?"
