The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1048 The whole network is paralyzed
“Breaking news: Anson Wood’s injury is still unknown, and Sony Columbia has begun looking for a successor.”

Clang.

Blair Miller dropped the spoon in his hand into the dishes, the milk splashed out, the cereal rustled, and he looked up suddenly, staring at the TV screen.

The "Today Show", NBC's morning news show that has been the nation's most watched show for 20 years, is now on. Not only is the host engaging in a discussion, but prominent fonts can also be seen at the bottom of the TV screen, clearly listing the headlines.

The impact penetrated the TV screen and hit me in the face.

Blair began to suspect that this was a dream. Otherwise, how could such absurd and ridiculous news appear on the "Today Show"?

However, the hosts on TV continued to chatter away, discussing the matter with serious faces. Their shock and astonishment were no less than Blair's.

Blair found that her hands were shaking badly. She took a deep breath, managed to control herself, picked up the remote control, and started to change the channel.

ABC TV's morning news program "Good Morning America", which has always ranked second in ratings, was also reporting the same news.

“Headline: Sony Columbia is looking for Anson Wood’s replacement.”

Suddenly, Blair's heart contracted violently, his mind was in a mess, and even with deep breaths he couldn't control his panic and fear.

Blair turned around and rushed to his room and turned on his computer again.

She had never realized that the computer would boot up so slowly. After waiting for what seemed like a century, Blair finally turned it on and began to surf the Internet skillfully.

"Sony Columbia is ready to give up on Anson Wood!"

"It's all a conspiracy. Sony Columbia directed and acted in a drama. The only victim is Anson Wood."

"The power struggle is spreading to a series of projects, with Spider-Man 2 being the first to be affected!"

"Anson Wood is still recovering and preparing for his return to the series, but Sony Columbia can't wait to move on to the next chapter."

"Perhaps, when Spider-Man 2 comes out, Peter Parker will no longer be the person we are familiar with."

"Anson Wood was replaced tragically, and it came without warning and with great force."

"Sony Columbia is not happy with Anson's injury delaying the filming progress and is preparing to restart the film from scratch."

"No one is irreplaceable, including Anson Wood - welcome to Hollywood."

Big news! Big news! Big news again!

Overwhelming.

The entire network was completely paralyzed, and all media outlets joined in reporting, with no one being exempted.

If the previous news that "Us Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" revealed that Harry Pesci was the culprit pushed the incident to a new height and was one of the major events in 2003; then now the popularity of the news has skyrocketed fivefold and tenfold, and it is undoubtedly the number one entertainment news focus this year, and the huge heat wave has spread across the board.

It is very informative and full of relevant news in every corner.

In major forums, all kinds of discussions are booming.

Some people were shocked and refused to believe it was true. Many suspected it was a hoax, saying, "April Fools' Day has passed" and "There are too many Onion news reports."

Some people were confused and completely unable to understand Sony Columbia's thought process. They were wondering "What did Anson do wrong?" and "He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to make such a choice."

Some people were angry and couldn't believe that Sony Columbia had abandoned Anson, and Anson is still in the hospital with no news.

Some people investigated, "That's why Sony Columbia released Jason Owen to take the blame," and "Things that were previously incomprehensible are now all explained." Some people even let their imaginations run wild and explore the extreme darkness.

"Is it possible that this was all a conspiracy by Sony and Columbia, and that they put the paparazzi in just to hype up the news? After the accident, they just went with the flow and prepared to replace Anson. The root cause was the struggle among the top executives at Sony and Columbia. They didn't care about the success or failure of the movie, their goal was just to control power."

All kinds of things, a comprehensive blowout.

The only thing that is certain is that Sony Columbia has become the target of public criticism.

Of course, there is no shortage of minions among netizens who defend these big companies.

"Anson is injured, and Sony Columbia needs to think about the overall situation."

"It's not like we're really replacing Anson. We're just auditioning a few replacements. There's no need to make a fuss."

"Anson's injury caused the crew to shut down. How much loss is there? Sony Columbia certainly can't sacrifice the interests of the crew for one person."

However, these views were unpopular and were attacked harshly.

Indeed, Sony Columbia needs to think about itself, but from a commercial perspective, Anson was only injured and will be able to return to the crew soon. Anson was the primary contributor to the success of "Spider-Man".

Moreover, when Anson had an accident on the set, Sony Columbia had been lukewarm and did not protect the interests of the actor at all, which was bad enough, and they were even preparing to replace the injured actor in a straightforward manner.

What's the point?
What's worse is that things are not that simple. What happened to Jason Owen? Is Sony Columbia really just simply guaranteeing the filming of the crew?
All clues suggest that Sony Columbia is dirty and ugly, and is ready to sacrifice Anson, who has done nothing wrong and is even an important contributor. That sinister face does not deserve any understanding at all.

with full force!

Now, Sony Columbia is really like a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating it——

It caused public outrage!
Some even said that compared to Sony Columbia, even Harry Pesci wasn't that abominable.

The reason is that Harry was indeed entertaining himself to death and caused the accident; but Harry's original intention was not to cause Anson to be injured, it was definitely an accident.

However, Sony Columbia is not like that. Putting aside the question of whether it was a conspiracy or not, they planned the subsequent events even though they knew that Anson was innocently injured and was actively recovering. Their intentions are despicable.

Have you forgotten?

As Eve said when she first spoke on Anson's behalf, he is actively recovering and trying to return to the crew as soon as possible to avoid delays in filming as much as possible.

And this is what Anson gets?
I was angry, completely angry, and the anger spread uncontrollably.

The most ironic and absurd thing in the whole incident was that Harry Pesci, who had been chased and blocked by people before, appeared on the stage under pressure.

On the TMZ website, Harry said that he owed Anson a sincere apology. He admitted that he was indeed driven crazy by the photos of Spider-Man's new uniform and did whatever it took, which eventually led to the accident. He still did not repent and went to the hospital to take secret photos.

"I deserved the treatment I received, and I don't expect Anson to forgive me."

"but……"

Harry then changed the subject and aimed his gun at Sony Columbia.

Harry said that Sony Columbia had failed in its security duties at both the New Jersey filming site and Mount Sinai Hospital, otherwise Anson's brother would not have taken over all subsequent security work; and Sony Columbia never really cared about Anson's safety from beginning to end, and was caught up in a power struggle. It first tried to divert attention with Jason Owen, and then tried to confuse the public and put all the blame on scapegoats.

"Shameless! No bottom line!"
