Chapter 1044 A two-pronged approach
"Us Weekly". "Entertainment Weekly".
The two highest-selling gossip entertainment magazines in North America are not only leaders in the industry, but also competitors. They have always been at odds with each other.
Different from supermarket tabloids that like to make things up out of thin air, these two magazines are gossip and gossip, and they always like to use shocking headlines and explosive bombshells to attract public attention, but At least they still have the bottom line of journalists -
That is truth.
In other words, they still insist on conducting investigations and research, and try to avoid making nonsense without evidence.
It’s not that they insist on the lofty ideals of journalism, but they know that when the pursuit of gossip news becomes more and more outrageous, that is, when gossip news loses its appeal to the general public, there is no To be honest, there is no difference between gossip news and bloody novels.
Otherwise, why would it never be possible for supermarket tabloids to gain traction?
Otherwise, why does "The Sun" always rank first in sales in the British Isles, but the Sunday edition of "News of the World", which focuses on gossip news, gradually loses sales?
Of course, these are all digressions.
The real point is, Us Weekly and Entertainment Weekly have been digging deep and have been trying to dig up exclusive, blockbuster stories.
For both media outlets, the discovery by the New York Times that the paparazzi was the real culprit behind the Anson accident was undoubtedly a shame, like a slap in the face——
Their professional fields are challenged.
The "New York Times" should continue to work in the field of serious news and mix less with the world of entertainment news. If the "New York Times" also starts to take entertainment news seriously, what will they do as professional entertainment news media? , drink the northwest wind?
Angry and annoyed, humiliated and depressed, both media outlets worked hard.
On the other hand, "U.S. Weekly" followed suit and dug deeper into the character of Jason Irving.
According to the investigation, Jason Owen was indeed a temporary worker in the props team of the "Spider-Man 2" crew, and he did work in a New Jersey studio; but Jason had no interest in photography and even knew nothing about it.
More importantly, on the day of the accident on the set, Jason himself was in Pittsburgh, which is far away from New Jersey. He could not be "Marvin Daniel."
If it were just that, it would be great, but it still lacks a big one.
"US Weekly" conducted an in-depth investigation and found that Jason suddenly paid off his car loan in the past 24 hours, which was a huge sum of money——
Fifty thousand dollars. For temporary workers, this is no small matter.
Due to the authority, "U.S. Weekly" cannot continue the investigation, otherwise they will violate the law, so they submitted the evidence to the NYPD, who will continue to investigate in depth; but based on the evidence collected so far, Look, Jason had close contact with Sony Columbia.
Boom! Boom boom boom!
Sony Columbia?
Wait, what's going on, why is Sony Columbia here? Why did Sony Columbia have close contact with a temporary worker on the set?
The wind turned sharply at 720 degrees so fast that the reaction speed could not keep up, and one or two of them were deeply impacted.
Did Sony Columbia bribe Jason Irving to admit that he secretly took photos? But why, and what are the benefits of Sony Columbia?
If everything was directed and acted by Sony Columbia, they could have let the real photographer come out, so why are they looking for a replacement?
Question marks came one after another, and they could not stop at all. All kinds of conspiracy theories exploded, and Sony Columbia was suddenly involved in the storm.
On one side, "Entertainment Weekly" collected information and relied on the power of professionals to take off the mask of "Marvin Daniel".
After the emergence of the Internet, thanks to the existence of anonymity, people hide their true faces behind online data, and cybercrime is becoming an emerging topic.
At the same time, hackers are also becoming one of the focuses of attention during the handover of the century. The point is that people think that they can hide perfectly on the Internet, take off their masks, reveal the ugly and twisted dark side of their souls, and do not need to be responsible. This makes cyber violence and cyber crimes become more and more serious; but the fact is not otherwise.
Any action will leave traces on the network. Unless you are a hacker who is good at erasing your traces and making yourself a ghost in the network; otherwise, those trivial traces are like bread. General crumbs. You can always expose your whereabouts and hide them from the eyes of professionals.
"Entertainment Weekly" started with the photos published by TMZ and hired a professional hacker. It only took less than three minutes to reveal the face behind the network data.
Harry Pacey.
Things are so simple.
One of the founders of TMZ and a well-known presence among paparazzi, Harry Pesci is the real operator behind the photos of Spider-Man's new uniform.
No wonder TMZ refused to disclose the identity of Marvin Daniel; no wonder TMZ did not give any positive or negative response when Jason Irving came out.
Now, everything has a reason.
And, this is just the beginning.
According to feedback from the crew of "Spider-Man 2", the flash when Harry Pesci was taking photos of his uniform was the direct cause of the accident.
At the same time, according to the traffic light surveillance video at the exit of Mount Sinai Hospital, Harry Pesci was confirmed to be escaping from Mount Sinai Hospital at the time of the invasion of Anson's ward.
The real brilliance of "Entertainment Weekly" is that they did not directly draw a conclusion, let alone directly and righteously denounce Harry Pesci; instead, they pretended to be objective and fair like a court trial. Posture, lay out the evidence piece by piece, and then leave the judgment to the jury.
But in fact, the evidence itself is tendentious, and the opinions have been hidden in it for a long time. The final conclusion of the jury can be predicted in advance.
However, such a gesture showed the truth and fairness of the news, making it more convincing, and all the power was gathered towards Harry.
Shocking! Impact!
The two magazines "American Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" are the sales leaders of entertainment magazines in North America. Their influence is unquestionable. This time, they unexpectedly joined forces in the competition. They approached each other from different angles but ended up with the same goal. In the end, Uncover different sides of a dark truth and piece together the tip of the iceberg.
Influence, one plus one is greater than two, detonating energy in an all-round way and triggering a tsunami. The evil and madness of this incident even exceeded people's imagination. Thousands of clues all point to the darkness behind Hollywood Vanity Fair , an invisible haze and filth shrouded the top of the head.
Nowhere to escape.
Although everyone knows that paparazzi has no bottom line, the extent of this is still shocking; although everyone knows that entertainment can lead to death, it is still refreshing to see a paparazzi threaten Anson's life twice.
And they almost became accomplices!
Things took a turn for the worse.
From online to offline, from traditional media to online forums, even Hollywood industry insiders have made their voices heard, and no corner is exception -
Full detonation.
