Chapter 163 Red Table Talk Show
The day after the Oscars, the hottest newsmakers in the United States are naturally the Oscar winners.
Last year, when Hawke first came to Los Angeles, he made a lot of money from the video of Gandalf angrily smashing a McDonald's.
But this year is different. Outside of the Oscars, Will Smith is at the forefront of public opinion.
In the morning, many entertainment media were still reporting on the text message incident last night.
Text messaging is also a hot topic on Internet forums.
Most people think someone is pranking Will Smith. After all, similar text message scams are common in North America.
Entertainment reporters who came to interview Will Smith could not find him. They called the agency, but there was no response from CAA.
In the afternoon, text news appeared on many forums, and Will Smith and his wife both cheated.
These news items include video screenshots and are marked as reposted from Twitter.
Subsequently, many portals, including Yahoo Entertainment, also reposted relevant news from Twitter.
The entire day, the editorial department led by Caroline was busy posting on various forums.
Because they are equipped with pictures, these posts almost always become popular that day.
Countless melon-eaters came to the Twitter website to watch the cheating video of Will Smith and his wife.
Many of them registered Twitter accounts.
Will Smith is a commercial star, and his influence is far beyond that of Josh Hartnett and Alison Firth.
Across the United States, regardless of men or women, various LSPs are taking notice.
“Have you seen Will Smith’s video?” When friends and acquaintances meet and say hello, Will Smith must be mentioned: “His wife’s is even crazier.”
Fortunately, Hawke was early on in this regard. We were prepared, and with the efforts of our technical staff, the website withstood this wave of horrific traffic.
Those netizens who registered on Twitter conveniently posted the video to their own Twitter in order to facilitate viewing later.
On Twitter, LSPs followed each other and left messages.
“It’s a pity that the key places are coded.”
“Without coding, it will become a sacred grain film and cannot appear on the regular website.”
“It turns out that The couple is doing their own thing.”
At night, the two news items of Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s “cheating scandal” and the exclusive disclosure of “cheating scandal” on Twitter were on the Google hot search list.
Oscar winners are vulnerable to the super gossip of superstars.
Two pieces of cheating scandal news ranked first and second on the hot search list respectively.
On the second day after the video was released, Caroline came over to report to Hawke: "Including yesterday's day and night, the number of our registered users jumped from less than 30,000 to 2.27 million."
Hoke He warned: "Don't stop there, keep posting to follow up."
"Yes, boss." Caroline responded, not forgetting to remind: "Boss, this plan you came up with can It’s crazy.”
Hawke stated a fact: "Even without this new plan, if we proceed according to the original plan, Will Smith will still be crazy."
Caroline quickly left the office and went to watch it in person Looking at the newly recruited editors.
Hoke came to the third floor. People from the technical department were setting up the live broadcast venue. A red round table was placed in the center of the live broadcast hall.
According to the plan, after public opinion is fully fermented, Will Smith and Jada Smith will hold a red table talk show here to analyze their open marriage to the United States.
Hoke called the two heads of the technical department, Harland and Kasim, and said: "Starting from today, we will conduct a live broadcast drill every day, and solve any problems immediately if they are found."
Harland responded: "Kasim and I will have a round-table conversation later."
Hoke stayed here and watched the live preview of Haaland and Kasim. During the period, he encountered When encountering many situations, the technical department quickly found solutions.
…………
Century City, CAA headquarters.
A large number of reporters gathered at the door. They had just received news that Will Smith and Jada Smith would respond positively to the cheating scandal video.
In the hall, Jada looked at the reporters outside the door eager to try.
Will's dark face had not smiled in the past few days. He put his hands into his pants pockets and didn't want to say more.
James Locke could only say: "Time is too tight, and the opponent still holds our vital points in their hands. We can only make the best choice for you for the time being."
" I don't blame you." Will knew very well that if James hadn't decisively used money to throw money at people, the video of him and Duane would have been exposed by those bastards.
The consequences would be more serious.
James looked at the time and said: "Go ahead, let's finish these things first, save your career, and we can settle the rest slowly."
Will was quite angry, waved to Jada, and went out together.
Nearly a hundred media reporters gathered in front of the door.
Los Angeles Channel 9 also drove a television broadcast truck nearby.
Maja loudly maintained order so that Will Smith and his wife could speak.
Will spoke loudly into countless microphones: "There are indeed some problems in my marriage with Jada, but our relationship has not broken down and we have never planned to separate. We will actively face the problems that arise in our marriage."
< br>Jada said: "Since we got married, Will and I have given each other trust and freedom. Marriage cannot be a prison for us, but for the outside world, the media and public opinion, our marriage has appeared Will and I will answer the question."
Will took over: "Where did the matter come from and where did we solve it? Jada and I have been talking to Twitter in the past two days. To communicate, we decided to live broadcast the most important conversation between Jada and I since we got married on the Internet platform Twitter.”
There was an uproar at the scene, and reporters from various TV stations shouted wildly.
"Will, Los Angeles Channel 9 is a more suitable platform than the Internet!"
"ABC welcomes you anytime!"
"Fox Channel 11 is willing to come up with prime time!"
Will and Jada did not speak any more and turned back to the CAA building.
As the news played, Twitter was at the forefront again.
The popularity of the cheating scandal has not yet dissipated, and the news that Will and Jada will live broadcast the couple's conversation through the Twitter platform has added fuel to the fire.
Twitter’s popularity and traffic skyrocketed again.
The next day, Hawke had a conference call with Maha and James.
Subsequently, Maha personally updated the official Twitter accounts of Will and Jada as agreed, and a teaser poster appeared on it.
"Marriage is Not a Prison"
Under the title of the poster is a photo of Will Smith and Jada Smith looking at each other affectionately.
Next, it’s live broadcast time.
The couple has cheated on each other and their relationship has not yet broken down. They need to talk to solve the problem. The most important thing is that one of the parties is the top Hollywood superstar Will Smith.
The topic is full.
The heat explodes.
A large number of netizens have registered Twitter accounts to follow Will and Jada.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hawke let Twitter officially launch a computer installation version.
The number of downloads exceeded 2 million that day.
At this time, Megan Taylor came to visit.
In the office, Hawke received his old friends.
Meghan looked at his office slightly and said: “Last time you said you wanted to engage in online media, I thought you would be depressed for a while, but I didn’t expect that you would reach this level in just two months. ”
Hawke said: "I'm lucky, I happened to receive Will Smith's video."
"Do you need to say this to me?" Megan shook her head: "You have always been unconventional. "
Hoke still said the same thing: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Qimou, all my investment will be wasted.”
Meghan came over and had other things: “How about we link up for the live broadcast on Friday?”
Hoke directly. Said: "Sorry, I signed an exclusive agreement with Will."
Meghan didn't force herself and said another thing: "You haven't come to see me for a long time. My sewer is blocked and I need a man to help."
"Wait until I have been busy these days." Huo Ke told the truth: "These few days are very critical. Every day I I can only sleep for a few hours.”
Meghan left just as quickly: “I won’t disturb you.”
Hoke has been busy this week. , Twitter became trending news along with Will Smith.
Even outside Twitter’s office building, reporters began to gather.
After seven rehearsals, the technical department solved all the problems in the live broadcast.
Hoke also held his last meeting. In addition to the live video broadcast, it will also be supplemented by a live text broadcast.
At this time, all kinds of comments are flying all over Twitter.
All kinds of pictures and gossip are flying around Will Smith and Jada Smith.
Twitter’s real-time sharing function came into play at this time, and many messages spread incredibly quickly.
Netizens were very enthusiastic about digging up secret histories. They dug out all the female celebrities who had affairs with Will Smith in the past. They not only listed the pictures one by one, but also wrote down the dates of dating and breakup. Jada Smith is no exception, and Tupac, who was shot, is the focus.
Entertainment reporters don’t even need to collect information specifically, they can just repost it on Twitter.
What’s even more exaggerated is that all the heroines who have worked with Will Smith have also been pulled out by netizens and posted on Twitter.
To a certain extent, they were not shot innocently.
Jada Smith was followed by a long list of black rappers’ names.
This time around Will Smith and his wife's affair, fueled by Twitter, the trend of a national entertainment carnival has emerged ten years later.
Everyone collects together, breaks the news together, shares it together, and eats it together.
The exhilarating feeling of actually participating in it cannot be compared to reading newspapers, watching TV and eating melons.
This is also the advantage of social media.
Will Smith and his wife, along with Mahar and James, took to Twitter on Friday afternoon.
Hoke and Caroline communicated with them for the last time.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith’s red table talks attracted enough attention. In fact, by now, it no longer matters what they talked about.
Hoke still takes it seriously, starting and finishing.
Will Smith is also very serious here, and the couple completely treats the red table talk show as personal promotion.
The two even brought their son and daughter over!
This is very Smiths.
At nearly 7:30 in the evening, Hawke stood in the temporary studio.
On his left sat Caroline, who was in charge of copy editing, and on his right was Harland from the technical department.
The latter reported: "The number of people pouring into the website exceeds 7 million, and it is still growing rapidly."
Kasim said: "The server has entered a high load state."
Hoke said: "Continue to monitor the real-time situation."
Caroline on the other side said: "Will and Jada ’s red table talk show also rushed to Google and Yahoo Hu’s news trended first!”
Her deputy Sasha said: “Many forums have opened live broadcast channels linked to Twitter.”
It was almost eight o’clock. K asked Haaland: "Now the data."
Harland checked the backstage, his mouth wide open as if he wanted to eat people: "Boss, the real-time number of people exceeded 10 million!"
Hoke gave the order: "Let's start."
Live broadcast Outside the hall, James and Maha sat in front of a computer, staring closely at the monitor screen.
Across North America, tens of millions of people are waiting for the live broadcast to start.
Frank, a sloppy old man, robbed Edward’s office and also sat in front of the computer to watch the live broadcast.
On the Twitter live window, the trailer of "Jedi Men 2" that was playing suddenly stopped.
Sony Columbia sent a special person to understand the situation. After obtaining the relevant information, they directly sent the trailer.
Celebrity cheating, or husband and wife cheating, is not a big deal in Hollywood.
The live broadcast screen changed to Will and Jada sitting opposite each other across a red round table.
Jada spoke first: "Hi, Will."
Will nodded in response.
Jada went straight to the topic: "What happened in the past few days, fans and the media are eager to surround us."
Will looked very socially responsible: "We It’s taking up too many public resources.”
Jada looked serious: “We. We swore that we would love each other forever. Why did we become like this? Since when did we suddenly change?" Will said: "Since the birth of my daughter, do you still remember? Postpartum depression, after Weiruo was weaned, we separated. ”
"Yes, we were separated at that time." Emphasis on separation, because in the media and the law, living apart and interacting with other people is not considered cheating, which can reduce the criticism of the two to a certain extent.
Jada added: "I was very distressed at that time. No one could help me share my burden. Only Nate Doug cared about me and came to take care of me every day. He and I came together naturally. "
Will's voice was low: "I found out, and I was very sad. I thought we would end completely, so I started dating other people until you came back. Come."
Jada nodded: "You tell me, no matter what I do, you will support me."
"Because I wake up every morning and find you crying while sleeping. ." Will said: "I have cried for 45 consecutive days at most. It was the worst thing our marriage has ever experienced. I thought I was a failure."
Jada added: "During that time, we called each other life partners."
She burst into tears: "We didn't even claim we were married anymore."
Will Smith I also burst into tears on the spot. Even though I am not famous for my acting skills, I still cried until my nose was red.
The two people did not quarrel, get angry, fight on the spot, or even accuse each other.
For the content of today’s Red Table Talk Show, Hawke provided the ideas, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith filled in the specific content.
These are enough to ensure a lot of attractions.
The bizarre Mr. and Mrs. Smith recalled their past and even switched positions to consider and talk from each other's perspective.
Then the two decided to reflect on their own and resume their marriage.
Jada said: "I thought the two of us would never be reconciled again. After going through so many things, I discovered that you and my son and daughter are the most important to me."
Will was very generous: "You don't believe in traditional marriage, so we have to give each other trust and freedom. For me, freedom and trust are the highest definition of love."
Jada responded: "As long as we have a clear conscience, we can do whatever we want to do."
The couple smiled at each other, fist bumped, and said a line at the same time: "We overcome difficulties together and face challenges together. In the face of death, marriage remains unchanged throughout life!”
The live broadcast freezes and the red table talk show ends.
As the camera turned off, Mr. and Mrs. Smith stood up and left the red round table without any communication.
In Edward's small office, Frank turned off the computer and shook his head slightly: "The new Hollywood model couple of this era, such a unique way of getting along."
James and Maha greet Will and Jada.
The latter reminded: "There are reporters outside. When you go out later, you must hold hands."
He thought for a while and then said: "Each of you holds a child, holding hands Hold hands."
Will grabbed his wife's hand and said, "That's it now."
"Just wait for me for a moment." James went to find Hawke, but was stopped in the temporary director's room. Outside.
A security guard said: "Please wait a moment, the president and several directors are handling some finishing work."
James nodded slightly.
In the director's room, Hawke told Caroline: "Put the video on the homepage, pick out the highlights, make it into a short video, and forward it freely."
He said while recalling: “When Will and Jada were live broadcast, there were many actions and lines that were very It’s so exciting that people can make it into emoticons on the site, and we’ll pay the copyright fees and give them to users for free.”
Kasim had heard Hawke talk about emoticons in detail before, and responded: “These are technically. It’s not difficult and easy to implement.”
Hawke then said to Caroline's assistant Sasha: "You take charge of guiding online entertainment and let the popularity last for a while."
Sasha responded: "I'll go right away."
Hoke finally asked Haaland: "Has the number of viewers been counted during peak hours? "
Harland replied: "The peak number was 12.35 million users."
"Good job, guys!" Hawke praised, he knows how to mobilize employees. Motivation: "Keep it up, the bonus won't be a problem."
Everyone was very motivated.
Hoke came out of the studio, saw James, and shook hands with him: "It's a wonderful talk show."
James forced a smile and said: "Don't forget you "The promise."
Hoke waved to the other side of the corridor, and Edward ran over with a storage disk and handed it directly to James.
"There is the original video inside." Hawke said directly: "I will fulfill the agreement."
James said: "That's it."
He took the storage disk, joined Will Smith and his team, and left Twitter.
James went downstairs, got in the car, and called directly: "I suggest that all clients affiliated with CAA prohibit cooperation with Twitter."
The person over there replied: "Tom K. Ruth and Steve Nutt have already opened their personal Twitter accounts, and we cannot restrain them.”
With their status, as long as they are not happy in CAA, they can be fired from CAA.
Moreover, Tom Cruise returned empty-handed from this Oscar, had a falling out with his agent Kingsley, and was already preparing to be fired from CAA.
James looked quite ugly. Facing big-name celebrity clients, the brokerage company was too passive. A brokerage contract could only be signed for a maximum of three years.
