Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 228: Cinema is an art of deceit, and the film industry

Chapter 228 Film is an art of deception, and the film industry amplifies deception

In the early morning of September 5, 1997, a photo appeared on the headlines of major newspapers, which shocked the people of America. Roland Allen, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was standing at the window with a smile on his face. , in his arms, holding a swaddling baby.

The little baby is about one year old, staring at the green plants outside the window with big watery eyes, while Roland, who is holding the baby, stretches out his right hand and pulls the branches and green leaves that have reached the window, as if wanting to To amuse children with it.

Behind the two of them, there is a well-displayed hospital scene, with a person lying on the hospital bed.

But because Roland's figure blocked it, he could only see the raised back half, that is, the legs covered by the quilt.

Besides, doctors and nurses in uniform stood by the bed, their heads bowed, as if they were giving instructions to the patients.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem with this photo. The close-up, characters, and long-range views are full of layers, and the young father’s joy of reaping the baby is vividly displayed. Coupled with the problem of shooting angle, it can give the audience who appreciate the photo a more vivid and vivid picture. A sense of satisfaction from peeping into other people's private life, that kind of voyeurism spontaneously, may make this photo win an award!

But the problem is that the photos are fine, but the problem is the subject of the photos!

The person in the photo is Roland Allen!

Since 1990, Roland Allen has appeared in front of the public like a divine soldier. Since then, this guy who seems to have been kissed by God has been lucky. With the increase in salary, the family is still harmonious. You must know that it is not uncommon for families to split up because of the sudden increase in wealth, which is not uncommon here in America.

Roland Allen was not affected by it. This alone has already made the public envious. In addition, his stable and good growth process is also the reason why parents from all walks of life are willing to let their children regard him as a role model.

In 1992, at the age of twelve, he rejected the pursuit of the daughter of a star real estate agent in New York.

This point, in the eyes of the public, is undoubtedly correct.

No one wants their children to be out of work at that time, because they are too young.

In 1993, when he was thirteen years old, the image of his brave brother swept the world.

This point, in the eyes of the public, is undoubtedly excellent.

In a family of at least three or four children, the older child protecting the younger and the family getting along is obviously what parents want most, not only because of the health of the relationship, but also because of the relationship between family members Harmony can make it easier for adults to lead the family.

In 1994, when he was fourteen years old, his hardworking and studious figure made him directly become the child of someone else's family in the eyes of his parents.

At the age when he was about to enter high school, the American backbone who watched Roland grow up bit by bit, after learning that Roland would spend more than a year to ask Tom Hanks for advice in order to perform, this sub-media The tenacity and self-consciousness conveyed made Roland the best material for them to teach their children.

If it stops here and belongs to Roland's fan base, those children may feel disgusted.

Because no one expects the guy they like to be their role model.

Or in other words, Roland has been too obedient along the way.

Why do child stars fall suddenly?

In fact, it is because of the child star who can become popular, and the fan base can eat everything!

When you were ten years old, adults and children loved you.

But from the age of fifteen, the watershed appeared.

Under the age of fourteen, no matter which family it is, the adults generally take the lead when communicating.

What adults like, they will recommend what they like to children.

And children at this stage are also the easiest to accept recommendations from adults.

But from the age of fifteen, when children entering puberty grow rapidly...

Children who want to control their own lives will become very rebellious. What adults like, they may hate. Adults regard Roland as a child of someone else's family. Hatred, because they felt that Roland was already a role model, not the self they had hoped to see!

The two sides have drifted apart.

However, in 1995, at the age of fifteen, Spider-Man was born!

Represents the superheroes who are troubled by adolescent children, making the possibility of love and hate disappear without a trace!

When the children helplessly listened to their parents' preaching and how excellent Roland is, they also discovered that the perfect Roland in the parents' mouth also had a lot of troubles, and Roger Ebert's article " Peter Parker is Roland Allen's film critic, and it is extremely exciting for children who can already accept information from the outside world on their own.

It turns out that Roland is still the Roland we are familiar with!

He wants to fly free, just like us!

After that, in 1996, the officially announced love movie at the age of 16 made those children who were restless because of their strong hormones extremely excited-not because of the huge investment of 200 million yuan, but because they understood that Roland has always been with They are together!

He is not the perfect role model in the mouth of his parents, he is also human!

He also has emotions, he also has love and hatred!

Because of this, after seeing【Oh my God! This turned out to be true! The photo that caused a sensation around the world! Roland Allen and his illegitimate daughter! 】After such news headlines, although the children who liked Roland were shocked and speechless, their excitement filled their chests. After seeing the photos published in the newspaper, they shouted out the words "cool" in capital letters !

"How—"

"Wha—t—"

"Is this true?"

"Absolutely! This must be Roland Allen!"

"Oh! I can't breathe - where the **** is this picture from?"

"Hospital! Hospital! All the displays in the photo are exactly the same as the hospital! He disappeared for more than a year, did he go to be a father? Who is the mother of the child? Oh! Shit! If I remember correctly, before The media seems to have reported that his girlfriend is... Kate? Did they have a baby? No! They were still filming last year!"

"Not Kate? Who could it be? Reese? But Reese has a new movie released in the past two years!"

Facing such heavy news, the children who have been the main contributors to Roland's box office are extremely excited!

While they were still dating the girl, Roland had already gotten the child out?

Grab the grass! This is hidden deep enough!

No wonder after "Jurassic Park", he, like a salted fish, turned out to have a girlfriend?

Of course, while these children are shocked and excited, making complaints offline is far from being one of the feedback channels for Roland fans. The community has been overwhelmed by the crazy influx of visitors! Normally, the hottest forums usually have hundreds of replies a day, but now, Yahoo News has more than 300 replies in two hours.

Even though the content of the theme post is very simple, just conveying newspaper news, the users who reply are extremely active. Young users even expressed their surprise and eagerness to know the gossip.

‘Who is the woman who gave birth to Roland? '

'OMG! I am also 80 years old! I also want to give Roland a baby! '

‘My God! God! God! This is definitely the most explosive news I have heard this year! It was even more explosive than the news that MJ was sued again! Sure enough, he is exactly what Roger Ebert said, that is, Peter Parker! Peter has had many girlfriends too! But I really want to know! What does the woman who gave birth to him look like! is it beautiful? '

If it is said that young people are receptive, and they think Roland's daring behavior is really cool, then the middle-aged people over the age of 30, or those adults who hoped that their children could learn from Roland , with a beeping look on his face.

Although in this country, many parents will acquiesce and care for their children to have exploratory interactions with the opposite **** after their children reach high school, or some parents even encourage and support their children to have healthy sexual intercourse, but… What the **** is it to make your belly bigger? This is not what they want to see at all!

So, when those young people curiously asked who the girl who gave birth to Roland was, no matter whether it was online or offline, the adults were showing their anger and confusion.

"Oh! Is Roland Allen such a person?"

"Oh my god! I used to think he was a very good kid..."

"Is this photo a still from the set? If it's not—I can't accept that at all—"

"This child is at least one year old, right? Roland will come of age on January 1 next year, that is to say, last year, the child was born before the filming of "Titanic"? If so, the year before last, "Spiderman" filmed After that, a girl was pregnant with his child? How old was he then? Fifteen? Just announced the filming of "Spiderman"?"

A large number of middle-aged people, incompetent to accept.

Speaking of which, America is a strange place, open and conservative at the same time.

That's right, their open expression is that the vast majority of people think that after entering high school, their children can formally communicate with the opposite sex, even if they have sex, it doesn't matter. After that, before getting married, how do you want to play, just play.

Not only that, they also advocate freedom of love.

And their conservativeness is reflected in the fact that America does not promote abortion.

Well, to describe the environment here as not promoting abortion is really glorifying them.

When many people hear this, they feel that there are some problems. Advocating freedom of love, freedom of relationship and not advocating abortion have nothing to do with each other at all! But the problem is...

They are opposite paradoxes.

Free love and free relationship will greatly increase the chances of killing people. If abortion is not advocated, the woman will give birth to the child in most cases, followed by a series of discrimination.

This kind of discrimination is more obvious in conservative areas, and the most intuitive manifestation is…

Many girls will lose the opportunity to go to school because of this.

Many boys either ran away or were dismissed by the school.

It was not until 1973 that the Supreme Court of America made a ruling on the Roe v. Wade case, supported Roe’s complaint, and directly overturned the anti-abortion laws of the forty-six states, making abortion legal in the entire territory of America. change.

From then on, young people who are not threatened by fertility will feel that pregnancy and childbirth are a responsible thing.

Adolescent girls get pregnant by boys, and then give birth to children with the support of boys.

It's a very rebellious, very cool thing.

And adults who have experienced dark times feel that this kind of coolness is not worth mentioning.

Because they watched so many people fall into the bottom of life.

Because they know how prematurely becoming a father and mother will affect the lives of those people.

If before, in the eyes of adults, Roland Allen was a role model for his children to learn from, then now, he can roll as far as he can—

Good-natured parent, say something like: "Listen, honey, you might think Roland Allen's behavior is cool, but... trust me, he's doing it wrong, you're free to socialize, you're free to happen Relationship, but healthy, healthy understand?"

Parents with a bad temper will forbid it: "Tear me off the Roland Allen poster on your wall! He is not suitable for you! I agree with you to fall in love! I encourage you to have a relationship! But we don't want you to put I ruined myself!"

If before, in the eyes of children, Roland Allen was first a peer of his own age, then a child next door in the eyes of his parents, and then gradually evolved into the perfect embodiment of boredom, then now, he is a peer The prettiest cub ever!

He did one of the coolest things among his peers!

In the face of parental preaching, it doesn't matter whether you have always liked Roland or once, but because Roland's performance is too perfect, he gradually becomes indifferent. It is only because of the IP of Spider-Man that he went to the theater to support him. Or those who have never been interested in Roland, now, all because of the preaching of their parents, their stance is extremely firm——

"I don't!"

"I just like Roland!"

"Because they won't be as hypocritical as you!"

"I will not live hypocritically just to please you!"

"You keep telling us to learn from Roland, but when we learn from Roland, you tell us No! What did he do wrong? Didn't he just walk through every step as you said?"

"Even if something happens, you have the courage to take responsibility. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Why are child stars most prone to thunderstorms during transition?

Isn't it because they don't know which level of fans to please?

If you continue to please adults, then they will gradually distance themselves from their peers. To please children of the same age, you have to do something that will make adults feel uncomfortable. In the process of choosing, all the guys who started as child stars died violently up.

Because there are pains in the transformation, but the capital will not accept it!

If you can’t make money, get out!

If the content of the announcement only stays here, then in the words of the industry, Fox will screen the audience before the release of "Titanic". Since the whole movie is about love, they want Roland's biggest and best The part of the fan base that hopes to get love is attracted to the theater. To put it bluntly, it is that young people yearn for love and are easier to deceive.

Before the movie is released, let fans see the coolest thing Roland has done, and then take the opportunity to promote the content of the movie, in order to achieve the psychological hint of 'my idol is so handsome, I must support a wave'.

But again, doing so is risky.

Before the movie was released, the producer took the initiative to screen fans, which is actually an extremely stupid behavior.

So, when Amerika was covered by 【Oh my God! This turned out to be true! The photo that caused a sensation around the world! Roland Allen and his illegitimate daughter! ] Shocked by this news, everyone stood in line, and even the major media took the opportunity to share a piece of the action. When commenting on the impact of this news on the public, hey...Fox TV jumped out on the third day of the news fermentation.

"According to our forensic investigation, this photo is real, but the description is false..."

"After multiple comparisons, we found the location where the photo was taken, which is the county hospital in North Hollywood. After our communication, the staff here confirmed that Roland had been here, and the time was half a year ago."

"Their video is covered every six months. When we went there, there was still nearly a week before their video was covered. After we looked through the video, we found that Roland Allen had indeed held a child, but that The child is not his, but the child of the officer injured in the North Hollywood robbery on February 28, 1997."

"According to the hospital's information, we found the police officer. It happened that after discovering that his daughter had somehow made headlines in the newspaper, the police officer was also trying to find a way to ask the media for help, so we invited them Arriving at the studio..."

As soon as this program came out, the two groups who were still fighting and arguing, seemed to be choked by fate, and revealed a picture of 'So it's fake? I'm so **** suffocating' expression...

Co-authoring today's Dagua, which can make them excited for three days, is the media spreading rumors?

With the appearance of the person involved, the ratings of Fox TV also soared wildly. When the public watched the Fox reporter find the hospital in the photo, the ward where Roland was in, and saw the police officer involved holding When his daughter did the same thing, those adults who had strongly urged their children to tear up the Roland poster were relieved...

The Hollywood police also came forward to prove that the doll that hit the headlines of the major media was indeed born to the injured police officer, and they also produced various records of the hospital at that time to prove it...

A burst of relaxation, clinging to the hearts of adults.

"Damn! I didn't expect these media to do such things as spreading rumors in order to compete for sales!"

"Let me tell you, how did Roland Allen's behavior suddenly become so outrageous?"

"It's okay, it's just a rumor, Roland Allen didn't **** up a girl's belly, he's still the same him..."

Of course, there are also emotional ones.

"Shit! What are these media doing after eating? They are making fake news all day long to catch people's attention?"

"It's disgusting! This group of rumor-mongering media will go to hell!"

"Why did they pour dirty water on Roland? Why?"

While the adults frantically refuted the rumors that Roland had a baby, in the past three days, those young people who regarded Roland Allen as a representative of cool and the prettiest cub among their peers were stunned. .

"What? Is it fake?"

"Oh... That means, Roland doesn't have a daughter?"

"Omg...this is so disappointing..."

However, just as they were regretting, a question was also being circulated crazily through online and offline media—

"Wait? The news is fake?"

"Why did the media suddenly send false news? Could it be in Hei Luolan?"

"OMG! Is this intentional? Someone is in Black Roland? His new movie is coming soon!"

"That's right! Roland Allen's new movie is a romance movie! And before the romance movie was released, the scandal of an illegitimate child suddenly broke out. This must be to hurt his career! Two hundred million investment! If the results are not good , he's afraid he won't be able to get up again!"

"I think so too! These guys are targeting Roland! If the situation in the photo is true, it would have been exposed by the media long ago. There is no need to wait until now, when the movie is about to be released!"

"It's disgusting! Who is the media that broke the news? Our Roland is so nice! Why would someone hack him?"

"Hacking him? Is this hacking him? This is obviously trying to kill him! There are two months before the movie will be released. As the leading role of a romance movie, news of an illegitimate child broke out at this time. Isn't this just trying to kill him?" Do you want to kick him out of the circle at once? I’m so excited before! I’m so sorry after learning the fake news! I didn’t expect those people to make us think so on purpose! As long as we are disappointed with Roland, his movie will definitely fail. Will hit the street!"

When this kind of public opinion was formed, the media who had received money from News Corp. followed suit one after another, and found out the cause of the incident. It turned out that the gossip tabloid that released the news was originally planning to commit a robbery in North Hollywood. Later, during Roland's visit to the police, he interviewed Roland's small media, and after being rejected by Roland, they wanted to take revenge.

As for why he chose the illegitimate child to hit Roland?

In addition to the real photo of Roland holding the child, Michael Jackson's two lawsuits are also the source of their inspiration. They feel that the private life of a pickpocketing star will not only damage the career of the star, but if they are lucky, they can also Receive a hush money from the celebrity, or in other words, trick the celebrity into paying a large sum of money to publish a clarification letter.

Regardless of whether the celebrity career is damaged, or the final reconciliation, the matter is left alone, which is profitable for them.

After such news spread, the gossip tabloids that used bad behavior to destroy Roland immediately became a thorn in the eyes of the people, a thorn in the flesh, and they were discussing 'Who is the woman who gave birth to Roland', 'Roland's kind The guy is too easy to lead bad children' remarks, disappeared without a trace, replaced by "Who wants to harm Roland?" '

Not only that, but after learning that the gossip tabloids planned to emulate MJ’s behavior in media consumption, MJ’s fans also ended up saying, “On the surface, this matter is a revenge by the gossip tabloids. They took revenge on Roland. The behavior of not accepting my own interview, but in fact, Roland is not the first victim, and far from the last victim."

"Let's take MJ mentioned this time as an example. Chandler and his son have been staring at MJ, sucking blood from him. Before taking 20 million was not enough, now they want to ask for another 60 million."

"We don't know whether their accusations exist or not. We only know one thing. Without the help of these media, the Chandler father and son would never have succeeded in blackmailing so smoothly."

"Yes, we have always regarded Chandler's behavior as blackmail. Their purpose is for money. If they really want to get justice and really feel that their children have been wronged, then he will After the compensation, will he bring up the incident again and again? Will he tell the media without hesitation, has my son been violated?"

"Similarly, I believe that the media also know that something is wrong, but for the sake of ratings, they can do anything."

"It was MJ before, it's Roland now, and there will definitely be more people in the future."

"I admit that we like to watch the privacy of stars, but we hate maliciously fabricated slander."

Things have come to this point, when the "truth came out", Roland, who had disappeared for a week, finally appeared.

He expressed his indignation in the face of the gossip tabloids in front of the media, and also emphasized that he has united with the Los Angeles police to resolutely use legal weapons to defend his rights. Such behavior has made the public applaud.

While the public was cheering for Roland's steadfast defense of rights, news stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS seemed to have discovered a new world, constantly revealing to the outside world that Roland was secretly photographed by "paparazzi" in the past year and a half to the itinerary.

On September 26th, ABC was the first to release the 'candid' photos of Roland and Kate traveling together in Mexico in early 1996.

Such news immediately attracted the attention of the public.

On October 3rd, News Corp released a 'sneak shot' video of Roland dressing Kate at the 1996 Berlin Film Festival.

The sweet and greasy performance made the fans who knew they were in a relationship very happy.

On October 10th, at the beginning of 1996, the scene of the two laughing together in Greece was dug up by NBC "accidentally".

Holding the drawing board and focusing on drawing Kate, the female fans had nosebleeds all over the place.

On October 17th, seeing that the news had almost been exposed, Fox TV reluctantly disclosed some tidbits of the filming of "Titanic", and accused the peers of being too unethical in their exposure.

But at this time, no one was cheering for Fox anymore, and no one cared about the gossip tabloids’ fake celebrity privacy. Everyone was attracted by the scene of the two holding hands!

However, if it's just these, then forget it.

On October 24th, CNN, which has always been focusing on current affairs news, finally took the lead. They released a 'candid' photo taken at night. Although it was a little blurry, Roland's fans could still see that the main background of the photo was It was the house where Roland had lived for almost eighteen years. The Christmas tree at the door indicated that it was Christmas at that time, and the two people walking hand in hand...

Isn't it Roland and Kate?

Grab the grass! Did Kate go to Roland's house last Christmas?

The thrill of the special code of the thief!

Just when the public was shocked and speechless by the real hammer photos thrown by these media, on October 31, CBS, a subsidiary of Paramount's parent company Viacom, also revealed the last group of photos.

Roland Allen went to Kate's house during the filming of "Saving Private Ryan"…

The two lay on the lawn of the manor, looking up at the sky...

When groups of 'paparazzi standard' photos appeared, Roland's female fans all wanted to GC...

"Oh my god! It's so sweet! It's so sweet! It's so sweet!!"

"Wow! They're really in a relationship! They're really in a relationship!"

"Roland is so handsome! Kate is so beautiful! They really match each other so well!"

"Did we get together at the beginning of last year? Sure enough, the guess on IMDb was right! And judging from the time, they didn't fall in love because of the drama, but they dated first and then filmed? This, this, this... the action of putting on clothes I've watched it a hundred times! I'm so envious of Kate! How nice it would be if I were Kate..."

"Oh! Roland is so handsome wearing a tuxedo and giving Kate a gentleman's salute! Kate also has a sweet smile!"

"Didn't you see the point? The point is that they have already gone to each other's house! Wow! The picture of two people lying on the lawn is so beautiful! Eh? Is it the last one? Are there no other photos?"

"Can anyone tell me when Titanic will be released? Let me die in the theater!"

"Does anyone know the name of the tabloid that broke the news that Roland had an illegitimate child? I swear to God, if Roland's movie hits the market, I will definitely burn down their building!"

And those older fans who portrayed Roland as a role model for their children, or parents over the age of 30, also breathed a sigh of relief... "It's okay, okay, Roland is not just playing around."

"Seeing Roland and Kate look serious, I feel relieved."

"They are so low-key, they should really love each other, right? If it weren't for this slander incident, maybe they wouldn't take the initiative to make it public? Oh... really cute couple, just like a kitten and puppy, full of hope for the future ..."

"Seeing them love each other so much reminds me of the past..."

"By the way, when will "Titanic" be released? Just think of it as supporting them..."

As for those male fans who are the same age as Roland...

Sorry, they are not among the subjects that must be controlled in this announcement.

In other words, from the moment the announcement arrangement was made, Roland's male fans had already been excluded.

...

"Roland, your current image is a bit too perfect."

Earlier, in Fox's office, in the "Titanic" publicity group, the publicity team looked at Roland and said helplessly: "We all know that child stars who can become popular are all killers. Fans of different ages, but the problem is, as child stars grow up, they face a problem, you can call it transformation, or you can say it’s a trade-off of the fan base.”

"You became popular with "Home Alone". At your age, children of your age were brought into theaters by their parents. Do you still remember "Terminator 2"? An R-rated movie , even if kids your age like you, they have to find a way to get their parents to take them into the theater."

"At that time, you had to be perfect because parents don't want to see a bad kid become the object of their children's love, but as they get older, the children who couldn't get into the theater on their own have become With a certain amount of spending power, at this time, their sense of autonomy will also awaken. When they are bored with their parents who often talk about themselves, you have to make a choice. Whether to catch the young group or Grab the old man."

"And you didn't make any choice in this matter."

"Spider-Man, let you temporarily ignore this potential problem."

"However, it's different now, "Titanic" doesn't have the aura of Spider-Man."

"Then we have to make a choice, and our plan is to fight one and kill one as much as possible."

"Putting one means attracting fans of the same age group as you. Those younger groups believe in love more, so this is our basic box office, and we can't lose it no matter what."

"Hit one, refers to those adults who want to impose their ideas on the fan base of your age group. These guys prefer your perfect image. If we want to hold their box office, we have to use some tricks .”

"The first thing to do is to use public opinion to destroy your image and make those young people think you are cool and worthy of their admiration."

“And in this process, adult fans will feel that you are different from before, and they will gradually give up on you.”

"Immediately, when the young people were excited and the adults were regretful, they used facts to turn the previous public opinion into rumors. In this way, the young people would be disappointed, and the adults would be surprised."

"If you just do this, it will have a great impact on your image, because you have offended the two fan groups, but we can take the blame."

"Put the responsibility for the whole incident directly on the media. Not only that, but we can also win over Uranus superstars who have suffered the same treatment as you, and let their fans, those who can empathize with you, speak for you."

"The person we choose is MJ who is troubled by public opinion."

"But don't worry, MJ is just a springboard in this matter, because the public opinion that ruined your image belongs to us. We can let him publicly admit that he is smearing you, but Chandler and his son will not admit it. So...you will only benefit, and you don’t have to worry, MJ will suddenly reverse the case, and that kind of influence will disrupt the rhythm of our announcement.”

"After that, when you are smeared and whitewashed again, those young people who thought you were too perfect and not cool before, we can guide them with the public opinion that someone dares to attack you, and those who still think you A perfect adult will become your basic disk again because of your sudden encounter, and at this time, we will unite various media to release your photos from the past year and a half."

"Let the sweet and greasy love attract the attention of the public."

"Before, those young people who thought you might drift away from themselves, or those female fans who already liked your appearance, would crazily defend you, because no matter whether they participated in the previous slander or later The whitewashing, they will feel guilty in their hearts, and at this time, coupled with loyal love, it will be lore for them."

"Because of the fantasy of guilt, they can burst out with great purchasing power."

"Those adults who feel that your perfect image has not been damaged will also enter the theater because they encourage their children to learn from your healthy and stable way of communication and avoid 419 behavior..."

"When these two basic players will choose to buy tickets to enter, your male fan base will be easier to solve."

"This is a love movie! Your female fans have already entered the cinema, but will your male fans not?"

"Even if they don't like romance movies, even if they don't think you're cool, even if they just like Spider-Man, it doesn't matter, because they can also imagine that after watching a romance movie, they can cheat their girlfriends... "

"So, we need your cooperation."

"Maintain your perfect image, make off-court romances authentic and believable, let those female fans who yearn for a beautiful love feel that you are talking about the love they expect, and let those adult fans think that you are devout believers in love, yes Guys who can go on to be a role model for the young guys, and everything else... just leave it to us."

"ABC is Disney's, CNN is Warner's, CBS is Viacom's, FOX is ours."

"Everyone is an insider, except Warner, who has cooperated with you."

"As for NBC, it may have been troublesome before, but now, you only need to authorize NBC and Microsoft's MSNNBC service to publish your latest news. I know, Yahoo is your industry, but..."

"Movies are your roots, right?"

"I know Bill Gates met you, so as long as you agree to NBC publishing your news on the network service first, they and we are on the same front."

"We usually help you cover up the news, but when it comes to your relationship announcement, we will selectively release photos."

"We can cover it up for you, but when making money, everyone has to have a share, right?"

"Everyone occupies a week of exposure time, which not only maximizes the ratings, but also allows the public to fully digest the news."

"Besides, you don't have to worry about other issues. When all the media groups can make huge profits from you, it is a choice that everyone will agree to cooperate with you in the hype. After all, no one will make trouble with money... "

"Especially like you, who can fill everyone up..."

"As for the fans' feelings..."

"You don't have to worry about these things."

"Film is an art of deception, and the film industry amplifies the effect of deception."

"You are selling the fantasy they want to see. Deception in this sense is good for everyone."

"Their spirit is satisfied, and our profit is satisfied."

...

Most of the time, the success of a movie has a certain relationship with the movie itself, but it has nothing to do with it.

The quality of the movie only affects the word-of-mouth of the movie, not even the box office trend.

At least in the non-mobile Internet era, this is the case.

Due to the natural inequality between the public and the capital, the public will always be in the position of being fooled by the capital.

Just like Neil Postman wrote in the book "Entertaining to Death", when the rule of TV replaces the rule of printing, the bombardment of convenient information can make rationality, order and logic gradually become out of context, Superficial, fragmented.

When the information explosion occurs, people will have the illusion of obtaining a large amount of information, but the fact is that they have lost even the ability to distinguish what is valid information.

Don’t think that the information age makes people knowledgeable, because while you think you are knowledgeable, capital is depriving you of your ability to think with countless waste information, and at this time, education becomes a kind of entertainment.

Once it reaches the point of entertaining to death, it is not the audience but the capital that determines whether a movie is good or bad.

If film critics say it is good, it is good. If traditional media and media say it is good, it is good. Once you think it is bad, there will be countless people who will refute your point of view. Because you don’t fit in, it’s not good.

As for the refutation in many cases?

It's not your aesthetics that play a decisive role, but the capital that wants to block it, and it succeeds.

Of course, movies that are inherently bad and released just to make money are excluded here.

Because of those movies, there is no need to use so much effort to maintain public opinion.

Because of this, after the rebellious psychology of the fans caused by the damage to the image, in the face of the bombardment of the information explosion, people only care about the sweet love between Roland and Kate outside the scene. The **** beauty makes them yearn for it, and then …

is looking forward to the arrival of pure love movies.

In the era of entertainment to the death, it is not a maverick at all that determines the survival of a star artist.

Maverick style may make people love you, but without capital, you are nothing.

When capital loves you, you own the world.

Steven Spielberg did, James Cameron did, and Roland Allen…

He wishes he could love himself.

After Fox took great pains to attract public opinion to Roland and make the public yearn for the love between Roland and Kate, preparations for the premiere on December 14 are also in full swing.

Different from before, because Roland can take all the film critics and media, so there are not many places left for them.

Nearly half of the tickets were distributed selectively by them as fan benefits.

As long as the public makes an appointment in the "Titanic" discussion group on IMDb, they will have a chance to be drawn and become the lucky ones.

Of course, like the Weibo lottery, the rate of women winning will be higher.

The purpose is also obvious.

It is to make these guys cry at the scene, and then convey their true reflections through the media.

In the words of Fox, that is—

"With an investment of 200 million yuan, starring Roland Allen, we have to break all the records, right?"

Note: I can’t write the remarks, so I will open a separate chapter later.
