The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1043: Full of Nonsense
Harry Pacey is living a life worse than death.

I couldn't sleep or eat well, I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles, I was in a state of anxiety all day long, it was just like being in hell, like a frightened bird, I couldn't calm down at all -

TMZ succeeded.

Since the reveal of Spider-Man 2's new uniform, the number of website visitors has continued to soar, reaching a new high since the website was built, and even exceeded the server's online capacity, causing it to crash. After a full year of operation and preparation, the website finally succeeded in breaking out of the circle and refreshing its presence in front of the general public. The name TMZ appeared on major newspaper pages for the first time.

The thing they had been thinking about for a long time finally had a breakthrough.

A photo of a new uniform will definitely bring more than just traffic to TMZ. The economic benefits in terms of advertising, sponsorship and brand image are beyond imagination.

Everything came rushing in.

Sure enough, uploading photos was the right choice.

However, Harry was not as happy as he had imagined. He had no way of being happy.

Because he was always worried that the fabricated identity of "Marvin Daniel" would be exposed.

Now, the overwhelming abuse and curses are all centered around Marvin Daniel. This vest is simply the representative of the unforgivable villain. Even being condemned by thousands of people is not enough to show the hatred coming from all sides.

Harry was as quiet as a chicken the whole time, fearing that he would be exposed accidentally.

There is a huge secret hidden in his heart, and this secret is almost swallowing him up.

At some moments, Harry even felt that TMZ's popularity was too exaggerated, which increased the threat of exposing his identity. Now everyone is asking who Marvin Daniel is, including the paparazzi circle.

"Marvin Daniel", remained silent.

For others, it can be understood that the suspect saw that things were going badly so he hid his whereabouts and temporarily dived, and it was normal for there to be no movement.

But for their fellow paparazzi, they have already smelled something unusual. This news event has a significant impact and can be called a medal of honor. Any paparazzi can't wait to enjoy this unique glory, even if it may require facing some pressure.

Those crackdowns and condemnations are precisely recognition of the paparazzi's work.

If Marvin Daniel is afraid of Lucas Wood's revenge and keeps a low profile for the time being, it is understandable; but there are still rumors in the paparazzi circle. Marvin Daniel's friends or colleagues, or even himself, cannot remain indifferent to the $100,000 reward.

That’s the problem. There is currently no news in the paparazzi circle.

Not normal, absolutely not normal.

All kinds of public opinion flocked to TMZ, strongly demanding that TMZ release detailed information about Marvin Daniel; but TMZ said they would not ask about the personal identity of the source of the news, and their goal was to focus on verifying the authenticity of the news.

TMZ rejected the demands of the general public and stated its position in a dignified manner.

But Harry knew that those discussions were raising all kinds of suspicions. TMZ's statement could only fool the public, but not the real professionals. His vest might not be hidden for long. That kind of fear was strangling his throat -

Life is better than death.

Harry even thought that it would be better to just give him a quick death and put an end to it all, and maybe he could feel relieved.

But fear held him back, so that he continued to suffer in the darkness, hoping that the secret would not be exposed.

Every minute and every second is a torture.

Then, the twist came - "I am Marvin Daniel, that's just a pseudonym, my real name is Jason Owner, and I took that photo."

A man has come forward and claimed to be the man behind Spider-Man's new uniform; and his story is detailed and very convincing.

This "Jason Owen" said that he was a temporary worker in the props team of the crew, responsible for building the set and transporting various props. He just heard that the media was offering a high price for photos of Spider-Man's new uniform, and he couldn't resist the temptation and tried to take photos himself. He never expected to cause an accident.

After the accident, he tossed and turned, tortured by his conscience. After much hesitation, he finally decided to stand up and tell the truth and accept public criticism.

The context is exceptionally clear and very convincing.

And, things took a slightly different turn.

Originally it was "paparazzi's unscrupulous pursuit of news has become another tragedy of entertainment to death", but now it is "temporary workers in the crew, driven by profit, were obsessed with creating an accident. Although it is a tragedy, it is infuriating and sad, but the bad nature of the incident does not seem to be so exaggerated."

The accident once again became "an accident".

Harry:? ? ?
Who is that Jason Irving?

Forget about the others. Harry knew that Jason Owen was talking nonsense and not telling the truth. But the point was that now that there was a scapegoat to divert attention, should he just shut up and make his fortune in silence?
So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The good thing was that the scapegoat appeared and inexplicably removed Harry's suspicion, and he could finally get a good night's sleep.

The bad thing is, was the scapegoat used for fame? Or was there another dark hand behind this, and if so, why? Moreover, Anson knew the truth, but would he reveal it?
For a moment, Harry was confused as well, and things were becoming more and more confusing.

The whole world was spinning, and Harry had no idea what storm he was caught in, but he just felt that he had less and less control over things.

Just when Harry was hesitating, "Jason Owen" didn't last long, and his vest was exposed -

The story seems perfect, but it is actually full of loopholes.

Set? Props?
Let’s put aside the fact that when the crew started filming on the day, everything was already prepared, there was no need to transport props and no temporary workers coming in and out; the logic behind simply asking where a temporary worker in the crew got the funds to buy professional photography equipment doesn’t make sense.

Because professionals can see that the published photo of Spider-Man's uniform is very professional in terms of angle, composition, lighting, picture quality, etc. It is difficult for amateurs to complete the shooting without equipment and experience.

According to Jason, he just took the photos casually and planned to sell them to pay back the money, but the final work was obviously not the case.

Of course, someone might say, maybe Jason is just an amateur photography enthusiast with a dream? Maybe Jason is a photography genius?

So, things have gone off the rails surrounding Jason's excavation.

Originally, it was thought that someone would come forward and admit that he was the real culprit behind the scenes, and the general public would find an object to condemn and vent their anger, and the matter would end there; but now Jason's words and story have been questioned. Not only do conspiracy theorists firmly believe that there is a truth behind this, but the general public has also gradually realized that things are not that simple, and can vaguely smell the restlessness of the coming storm.

The noisy sounds continued.

A mess——

No one had expected all this. Not Michael, not Harry, not Anson and Eve. One unexpected thing after another was disrupting the entire plan.

Then, without long waiting, the powerful paparazzi unearthed the truth.

Harry Pesci, this name appeared in the public eye for the first time.
