The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1044 A two-pronged approach
"US Weekly." "Entertainment Weekly."

The two best-selling gossip and entertainment magazines in North America are not only industry leaders, but also competitors, constantly trying to outdo each other.

Unlike supermarket tabloids that like to make up stories, these two magazines are gossip and gossip, and they always like to use shocking headlines and explosive news to attract the public's attention, but at least they have the bottom line of journalists -

That is the truth.

In other words, they still insist on conducting investigations and research, and try their best to avoid talking nonsense without evidence.

It’s not that they have much persistence in 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, without any truth, gossip news is no different from melodramatic novels.

Otherwise, why should supermarket tabloids never find their way into the mainstream?
Otherwise, why does The Sun consistently top the sales charts in the British Isles, while the Sunday edition of The News of the World, which focuses on gossip news, has gradually seen its sales decline?

Of course, all of this is off topic.

The real point is that Us Weekly and Entertainment Weekly have been digging deep and have been trying to dig up exclusives, blockbuster stories.

For both media outlets, the fact that the New York Times discovered that the paparazzi was behind Anson's accident was undoubtedly a disgrace, like a slap in the face.

Their areas of expertise are challenged.

The New York Times should continue to work in the field of serious news, and get less involved in the world of entertainment news. If the New York Times also starts to take entertainment news seriously, then what will happen to these professional entertainment news media? Will they starve to death?
Angry and annoyed, humiliated and depressed, both media outlets took action.

On the other hand, "US Weekly" followed the clues and dug deeper into the character of Jason Owen.

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 knew nothing about it.

More importantly, on the day of the accident on the set, Jason himself was in Pittsburgh, far away from New Jersey, so he couldn't be "Marvin Daniel".

If that were all, it would be exciting, but it would still lack a heavy weight.

"US Weekly" conducted an in-depth investigation and found that Jason had suddenly paid off his car loan in the past 24 hours. It was a huge amount of money -

Fifty thousand dollars is a lot for a temporary worker.

Due to the authority of the case, "US Weekly" could not continue the investigation, otherwise they would violate the law, so they handed the evidence to the NYPD, and the police continued to investigate in depth; but from the evidence collected so far, Jason had close contact with Sony Columbia.

boom! Boom boom boom!
Sony Columbia?

Wait, what's going on? Why is Sony Columbia here? Why is Sony Columbia closely connected to a temporary worker on the crew?
The wind direction made a 720-degree turn so fast that the reaction speed could not keep up, and one by one, they were all deeply impacted.

Could it be that Sony Columbia bribed Jason Irving to admit that he took the photos secretly? But why? What benefits did Sony Columbia get?
If everything was directed and performed by Sony Columbia, they could have just let the real photographer come out, why look for a replacement?
Question marks came one after another and could not be stopped. All kinds of conspiracy theories erupted and Sony Columbia was caught in the storm.

On the other hand, "Entertainment Weekly" collected information and relied on the power of professionals to take off the mask of "Marvin Daniel".

After the advent of the Internet, thanks to the existence of anonymity, people hide their real faces behind network data, and cybercrime is becoming an emerging topic.

At the same time, hackers are becoming one of the focuses of everyone's attention during the turn of the century. The point is that people think they can hide perfectly in the Internet, take off their masks, reveal the ugly and twisted dark side of their souls, and do not need to be responsible, which makes cyber violence and cyber crime more and more serious; but this is not the case.

Any action will leave traces on the Internet, unless you are a hacker who is good at erasing your own traces and becomes a ghost on the Internet; otherwise, those trivial traces are like bread crumbs. They can always expose your whereabouts and cannot escape the eyes of professionals.

Entertainment Weekly started with the photos published by TMZ and hired a professional hacker. In less than three minutes, the face behind the network data emerged.

Harry Pacey.

The thing is that simple.

One of the founders of TMZ and a well-known paparazzi, Harry Pace is the real operator behind the photos of Spider-Man's new uniform.

No wonder TMZ refused to disclose Marvin Daniel's identity; no wonder TMZ did not give any affirmative or negative response when Jason Owen came out.

Now, everything has its reasons.

And this is just the beginning.

According to feedback from the "Spider-Man 2" crew, the flash when Harry Pesci was taking the uniform photo 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 Pacey was confirmed to be fleeing Mount Sinai Hospital at the time of the invasion of Anson's ward.

The real brilliance of "Entertainment Weekly" lies in the fact that they did not come to a direct conclusion, nor did they directly denounce Harry Pesci in righteous words; instead, they pretended to be objective and fair in a court trial, listed the evidence one by one, and then handed the judgment to the jury.

But in fact, the evidence itself is biased and has long hidden its point of view. It is possible to predict in advance what conclusion the jury will reach.

However, this attitude showed the truth and fairness of the news, which was more convincing, and all the power gathered towards Harry.

Shock! Impact!
"US Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" are the sales leaders of entertainment magazines in North America, and their influence is unquestionable. This time, they unexpectedly joined forces in their long-distance competition, each approaching the issue from different angles but reaching the same conclusion, and finally revealing different sides of the dark truth and piecing together the tip of the iceberg.

Influence, one plus one is greater than two, it fully detonated the energy and caused a tsunami. The severity and madness of this incident even exceeded people's imagination. Thousands of clues all pointed to the darkness behind the Hollywood world of fame and fortune. An invisible haze and filth tightly shrouded their heads.

There is nowhere to escape.

Although everyone knows that paparazzi have no bottom line, this level is still shocking; although everyone knows that entertainment is death, actually witnessing a paparazzi possibly threatening Anson's life twice still refreshes one's three views.

And they were just a little bit away from becoming accomplices!

Things took a turn for the worse.

From online to offline, from traditional media to online forums, even Hollywood insiders have voiced their opinions, and no corner is immune.

Fully detonated.
