The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1041 Man-Made Accident
boom! Boom boom boom!
The whole of North America was shocked again, and all media, big and small, were included.

As of 2003, online media has gradually begun to emerge, but traditional paper media as well as television and radio stations are still as prosperous as ever. The focus of news is still on newspapers, and their position is unshakable.

In North America, the New York Times has always been at the top of the pyramid of top authoritative media. Its authority and influence are unquestionable. Perhaps the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times have their own advantages in different fields and among different groups; but on a comprehensive level, no one can surpass the New York Times.

Not only the general public, but also people in the industry are paying attention to The New York Times.

There is a little joke going around among journalism students:

Whenever an important event occurs, the first reaction of journalists in the central region of North America is not to look for news sources or collect information, but to read the New York Times. Only after learning about the views and positions of the New York Times will they begin to think about their own positions.

Joking aside, this is true to a large extent.

Different camps, different positions and different groups, before making their own voices heard, they will all look at the views of the New York Times. They may agree, they may disagree, they may worship it or they may sneer at it, but they will definitely read it. This shows the status of the New York Times in North America from the side.

This is why the front page headlines of The New York Times are so important, as are the pages on its website. Only truly blockbuster headlines can earn this honor.

And today!
The homepage of the New York Times website proudly gave its spot to Spider-Man 2.

Although it was just a website and not a newspaper, it still swept across North America in a mighty way.

Big news! Absolutely big news!
Originally, keywords such as "Spider-Man 2", Anson Wood, and on-set accidents have already been the absolute focus, and the popularity has surpassed the summer season; now, the "New York Times"'s attention and in-depth analysis and research have pushed the news hotspot to an unprecedented height.

——“It’s not just an accident, but a man-made accident.”

In the article, Nicholas came to his conclusion after conducting a comprehensive investigation.

Nicholas naturally cannot talk nonsense when reporting in authoritative professional media. Everything must have a source of information and be verified.

Nicholas went deep into the crew to investigate, carefully reviewing the whole accident, piecing together the original situation from the witnesses; then he elaborated on the various situations that emerged after the accident, and then settled on the latest series of Spider-Man uniform photos released by TMZ -

According to the testimony on the set, there was only one possibility for that scene and that angle, and that was that it was shot on the day Anson had the accident, because that was the first and only time the crew attempted to shoot this scene.

Analyzing from a professional perspective, the lighting, angle, composition, etc. further prove that this was the shutter that Anson pressed before he accidentally fell.

Everything coincided with the flashes recalled by the crew on the set.

Finally, Nicholas came to a bold and direct conclusion.

"Man-made accident".

The culprit behind all this is a paparazzi, the same paparazzi who provided the photos to TMZ; further, this paparazzi may also be the one who sneaked into the hospital ward and boldly prepared to take photos of Anson.

The truth is often cruel and shocking.

Even though everyone knows that this is an age of entertainment to death, even though everyone knows that this is an age where paparazzi will do anything to get news, even though everyone knows that this is an age of moral decline.

But some things still shock people and break their bottom line.

Previously, the news reported that someone broke into Anson's ward and disturbed his recuperation. Lucas offered a reward of $100,000 for this. Although public opinion overwhelmingly supported Anson, there were still many rational people who made sarcastic remarks.

What are the comments like "He is not paralyzed, so why can't he be filmed?", "Is he really a vegetable and is so furious?", "If you become a public figure, you must be aware of the full exposure of your privacy", "It is really speechless to see him whining and complaining about being hurt"...

And so on and so forth.

But now, those voices have quieted down.

It turned out that all of this was caused by the paparazzi's secret photography that led to Anson's misfortune; it turned out that it was because of the paparazzi that Anson's injuries are still unknown; it turned out that the paparazzi were the culprit, but they did not repent and even invaded the hospital again, ready to continue to exploit Anson.

This has gone beyond the bottom line. Even public figures should not be treated this badly.

What's worse is that Anson has not made any public appearance so far. Although Anson's spokesperson, Sony Columbia and the crew all stated that Anson is recuperating, the situation does not look optimistic.

Nightmare, slowly waking up——

In 1997, Princess Diana died in a car accident in Paris.

Behind the scenes, conspiracy theories were flying; but at least the story the public knew was that the paparazzi were chasing her all the way, and Princess Diana got into a car accident in order to get rid of them.

At that time, paparazzi were met with overwhelming accusations, and the social evil of "entertainment to death" became the focus of discussion in major newspapers and media.

And now, the same story happened again -

All just to get an exclusive photo of Spider-Man in uniform.

Ridiculous, absurd, ridiculous.

That year, Princess Diana had a car accident in the summer; six years later, it is summer again, and Anson has become a new victim of the paparazzi.

Who knows, maybe Anson is now struggling on the verge of death, so Anson never showed up, so Lucas was furious, and so the entire "Spider-Man 2" crew refused to be interviewed.

Fear is just a seed, but it falls into different individuals, takes root and sprouts with thoughts as soil, and finally evolves into different stories.

Spread across the board.

Crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy.

As things have developed to this point, public opinion has gotten out of control.

The assistant's face was filled with shock, his brain froze, he couldn't believe his eyes, and he turned to look at Eve like a robot. So was this the moment Eve had been waiting for?

"Did you know this was going to happen?" The assistant couldn't help but swallow.

Eve said calmly, "Of course. Otherwise, why would I leave so many bread crumbs? Were they all carried away by the ants? The only thing I'm not sure about is which media outlet discovered it first."

"It seems that the Los Angeles Times is still not a good choice."

Eve sighed.

The world outside has turned upside down, but Eve still has the mind to make jokes.

Assistant: "So, is it time?"

Eve shook her head. "Wait at least another twenty-four hours. This is just a signal."

The two assistants exchanged glances, looking confused.

Eve felt a little regretful. If it was Anson or Edgar, they would have understood without any explanation at this time; but if she thought about it carefully, it was no exception -

It is because of this that they are just assistants, while Edgar is Edgar and Anson can be Anson.

Eve thought, when did Anson's opinion of her become so high?

This is a good question.
