The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1037: Torment of Purgatory
"Who is besieging Anson Wood?"

“The distortion and depravity of the Hollywood entertainment industry.”

“Who is ‘making’ news by any means necessary?”

In the blue light in front of the computer screen, Harry Pesci's face can be vaguely seen:
Sometimes he is anxious, sometimes he is ferocious, sometimes he is excited, sometimes he is depressed, sometimes he laughs, sometimes he is furious.

Like schizophrenia, with constant ups and downs and no control over oneself.

A huge crowd of people, all major media and online forums were paying attention to the "Anson Wood Ward Break-in Incident". As the investigation was fully unfolding, the discussion was also rising to a new hot spot peak.

One by one, they stood on the commanding heights of justice and morality like moral guardians and conducted trials from a high position, but Harry just found it ridiculous.

Because Harry knew that if the real inside information was revealed, these same media would immediately change their faces and start follow-up reports. Morals and conscience do not exist in the face of interests. Now, their righteous and stern faces are just the trend of the times.

absurd.

Perhaps, the always aloof and arrogant "New Yorkers" are a rare exception.

"Entertainment to death! Who is crossing the line, disregarding life, and pursuing explosive points——

It’s you. It’s me. It’s him. It’s everyone. It’s the whole society.”

As a gathering place for intellectuals, The New Yorker still showed its conscience. It did not simply condemn someone, but included itself in the story, showing the distortion of the entire era. Everyone was excited by gossip, jumped for joy because of peeping, and was excited by breaking news. The culture of entertainment to death is infiltrating into the bones and blood of society.

Perhaps in the end, everyone will become the perpetrator and victim of entertainment-to-death. When the avalanche comes, no snowflake will be innocent.

The special report of "The New Yorker" was four pages long and took the Anson Wood incident as the starting point, deeply analyzed the ills of the entire society, and expressed deep concern for the future development of society.

This has sparked widespread discussion in various forums.

One after another, netizens offered suggestions enthusiastically in the hope of catching the real culprit, and the entire news focus reached an unprecedented height.

If photos of Spider-Man's uniform on the set were released now, the traffic would be unimaginable.

Only a fool would miss such an opportunity.

However, if he made it public, it would not only mean that he would be able to give Anson a handle to fight back, but also that he might be exposed to the public. The potential backlash and encirclement that would follow would be the real problem.

Harry is not stupid, he can see all these things.

As a result, he sat in front of the computer screen, holding a gold mine, staring blankly.

Damn it. Damn it, damn it, damn it!
Annoyance, anger, panic, all kinds of emotions continued to churn in the stomach, turning over and over again, unable to stop, as if it were on a raging fire.

He hadn't slept for more than forty hours. Even though he was extremely sleepy, he still couldn't fall asleep. The thoughts in his mind seemed like they could explode at any time.

Then, Harry saw a post -

"Is there no surveillance at Mount Sinai Hospital? I know there shouldn't be any inside the hospital, but what about the hospital entrance, or at the traffic light? There must be surveillance around the hospital. Based on the time and location, can we retrieve the surveillance video and find a potential suspect?"

First floor: Genius!

Second floor: Yes, yes, the original poster’s idea is correct, we should look for surveillance video.

Third floor: Doesn’t the NYPD know? Maybe they are filtering surveillance footage right now as we’re discussing this?
Various discussions were in full swing, and often went off topic, but this one post made Harry feel a chill down his spine, and goosebumps all over his body were screaming like crazy.

Oops!

The NYPD is one thing, and the Polaroid photo in Anson's hand is another.

How could he have forgotten that Polaroid photo!

That is 100% evidence, solid evidence! Once it is made public, it will be the execution day!
In other words, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed. What to do?
Harry grabbed his head with both hands and gently banged his forehead against the computer desk, trying to calm himself down, but it was obviously not an easy task.

Hurry! Hurry!
Wait, an idea suddenly occurred to Harry, and the impact stopped.

Harry has a bold idea:

Why not just release photos of Spider-Man's uniform?

Of course, anonymously, it was posted on the TMZ website.

Firstly, it can disperse the focus and divert attention. After all, the general public's attention span is only three seconds. As long as there is new information, it can be easily diverted.

Just like a goldfish with a seven-second memory, by then no one will remember to investigate the death-by-entertainment incident involving the hospital invasion.

Secondly, to divert suspicion, when people continue to speculate about the suspects of the hospital invasion, the appearance of Spider-Man's uniform can confuse people and make them realize:
Perhaps, the two incidents came from two different people, and all the paparazzi were chasing Anson.

To be more precise, "paparazzi" is a group. This is a collective behavior. There may be more than one or two potential suspects, but hundreds or thousands. Instead of blaming a paparazzi, it is better to blame the entire group; instead of pursuing a paparazzi, it is better to pursue the entire social culture.

Like a feature in The New Yorker.

Thirdly, and most importantly, this is his hard work.

The latest uniform from "Spider-Man 2".

Isn’t this gimmick enough? Has the moment he spent so much effort to capture been hidden away in a dark drawer?

Not reconciled.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. Regret, anger, anxiety, entanglement and other emotions swarmed up and gnawed at his soul.

This may be the masterpiece he is most proud of in his career, and it also made Anson suffer a setback, but he is the only one who can appreciate it?

What a pity.

He longed for people to know his work, he longed for his photos to generate a lot of traffic, and when everyone was longing for Spider-Man's new uniform, he not only gave an answer, but also an answer sheet with 120 points - and he didn't miss any additional questions. How could he be buried like this?

Suffering. Pain. Torment.

If hell really existed in the world, Harry believed that he was in hell now.

Harry closed the browser involuntarily, and his works were scattered all over the computer desktop.

In the on-set photos of "Spider-Man 2", Anson soared into the air and performed a difficult leap, perfectly showing Spider-Man's posture. Although the wire can be seen, it does not destroy the imagination at all. Instead, it is amazing. Those perfect figures in the movie are not computer-generated but real shots.

Not only the uniforms, but the whole atmosphere and aura are perfect.

This is his work, a work of art, but no one can appreciate it?

"Release. Release. Release!"

Angels and demons were pulling at each other in his mind, the devil's whispers were resonating on his eardrums, adrenaline was slowly igniting, and somehow his right hand reached for the mouse.

Moths fly into the flame.

Harry now finally understood what that feeling was. Even though he knew the consequences and even though reason was holding the reins, he still couldn't control the impulse.

Snapped.

With just one click of the mouse, the TMZ website was updated.
