Chapter 1038 posted anonymously
Early morning, cloudy.
Although it is summer now, New York is still a typical New York. The morning when the sun cannot be seen is depressing. The bodies hurriedly walking in the city are like zombies, only the body is moving.
Nicholas Flynn was also one of them. He yawned hugely. It took him a moment to remember that this was a public place. He was worried about damaging his image. But when he looked around, no one cared, so he felt relieved. .
I ordered a cup of espresso in the coffee shop and added some extra rum——
Don't ask why he started taking alcohol early in the morning. Ask him why he wrote a special report on the 2003 summer box office chart analysis for the "New York Times" for three consecutive nights. He now has Red Bull flowing in his veins.
Standing at the counter, waiting for his espresso, in just a few seconds, Nicholas began to fall into a trance, and his consciousness flew into space.
Inadvertently, Nicholas caught an image in the corner of his sight.
That's... wait, that's... Spider-Man? But why?
Although he was busy, Anson's news was overwhelming, and Nicholas would not miss it. What surprised him was not that Spider-Man appeared on the news page, but the picture——
The current focus is on Anson. When reporting, photos of Anson are often used instead of Spider-Man wearing a mask with no face visible.
But the news article in front of me used a photo of Spider-Man, and it was also a photo of Spider-Man flying in the air, which seemed abnormal.
Is this news from the crew of "Spider-Man 2"?
Subconsciously, Nicholas took a second look without thinking too much, but the moment he saw the photo, he was dragged into shock bit by bit.
Seeing the customer switching pages on the laptop screen, Nicholas couldn't care anymore and stepped forward.
"Sorry to bother you. I accidentally glanced at your computer screen just now. I'm really sorry, but that was..."
It was a young man who looked like a college student. He waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "Oh , the new uniform of 'Spider-Man 2', do you like Spider-Man too?"
Nicholas:... "How did you reveal the new uniform of Spider-Man? Wasn't it kept strictly confidential before?"
The young man was not surprised, "All the paparazzi were watching. This was simply a war between the crew and the media. As you can imagine, the paparazzi won in the end."
Everything was just like Harry- As Pesci expected, people take it for granted that this is a collective behavior of paparazzi. "Paparazzi" has become a collective pronoun and no longer focuses on an independent individual.
However, Nicholas was different. His keen journalistic intuition caught the anomaly:
The timing. The timing is wrong.
At this critical moment, a paparazzi actually broke the news about Spider-Man’s uniform? This isn't right.
“Who broke the news?” Nicholas looked at the computer screen.
The young people have confused expressions of "Does this matter?" When they read the gossip, who will pay attention to the names of the reporters and photographers? Who cares about the paparazzi’s name?
But the young man still blurted out, "TMZ."
Nicholas, "TMZ is just a platform. The focus is who took the photo and how it was taken."
Browse carefully, The more Nicholas watched, the more frightened he became -
It was not only detailed, but also front-facing, it was wonderful, and it was even considered an official behind-the-scenes still.
But Nicholas does not think this is an official still. The reason is very simple. The number of photos is too small and there is only one angle. At a glance, you can tell that it is a candid work; but people have to sigh at the excellence of the work.
Marvin Daniel.
Nicholas glanced at the signature and searched carefully in his mind -
There was no answer.
This is a completely unfamiliar name, at least Nicholas has never seen it before; but having said that, there are countless talented people hidden among the paparazzi, and Nicholas cannot possibly know them all. It is not surprising that strange names occasionally appear. . However, Nicholas is 100% sure that this photo will ignite the topic and even burst out with unimaginable energy.
For Nicholas, working at the "New York Times", this kind of gossip news was not within his scope of authority, and he usually only glanced at it occasionally; but this time, Nicholas vaguely felt that something was fishy, and a storm was brewing.
But why?
Nicholas frowned, the timing of everything was too coincidental, one thing happened after another, could it be...
A flash of inspiration.
Nicholas caught an inspiration. Are these photos related to Anson's injury? But what does it matter?
"Nick. Nick! Your espresso is ready."
There was a call from behind, Nicholas's brain was spinning at high speed, the whole world was spinning, and the rustling noise in the coffee shop was stirring in the air. , and finally evolved into a waterfall flowing down, and there was a roar in my mind.
Turning around, Nicholas quickly returned to the counter, picked up the small cup of espresso, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The hot liquid almost burned his throat, but Nicholas didn't care. , sprinted out of the coffee shop, and disappeared in the rolling torrent in an instant.
The coffee shop was only surprised for a moment, and then looked away, looking calm and calm again.
Everything, just as Nicholas expected:
Sweeping the whole network.
Mighty and vigorous.
This is not the era of social networks, and it is difficult to intuitively feel the impact of traffic; however, if you can hear/see news in every corner of major media, major portals, TVs, and radio stations , the streets and lanes are all covered with news, and the effect is the same.
“It’s coming, it’s finally here, the new uniform of ‘Spider-Man 2’ has been revealed.”
“The biggest hit of the year! Peter Parker’s new uniform makes his debut.”
“The new Spider-Man uniform is tighter, more compliant and more handsome.”
“From Dior to Spider-Man uniform, Anson Wood handles it perfectly.”
“Things couldn’t be more perfect - Anson- Wood's new look is coming to 'Spider-Man 2'"
So, what's overwhelming?
Leaving home, the newsstands on the roadside, the TV walls in department stores, the radio waves in taxis, and the chatter in breakfast shops on the street are all the new uniforms of "Spider-Man 2", even The newspapers in the hands of passengers coming and going in the subway station are no exception, surrounded by all directions.
Literally, everywhere, with no breathing room at all.
Originally, the new uniforms of "Spider-Man 2" were a hot topic, but now after Anson's accidental injury, the crew being forced to shut down, and an anonymous person sneaking into the hospital, the popularity has reached a new level.
It is the best portrayal that even gossip insulators like The New Yorker join the discussion without exception.
But now, it has gone one step further. Peter Parker's new jersey has been exposed, and everything has exploded from top to bottom. Things have suddenly gotten out of control.
Pervasively, penetrating into everyone's life.
It is even suspected that all of this was arranged by Sony Columbia in advance. Otherwise, how could things achieve such an effect?
Now, conspiracy theories are even more untenable.
There are many famous people, and the huge success of "Spider-Man" has put Sony Columbia on the forefront. Every little thing has become an excuse for people to be suspicious and encircled. Countless dark thoughts have crazily emerged and become more and more intense. .
In this regard, Hollywood is just watching the show.
