The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1042: Target of Anger

Eve is in a good mood now.

The situation that everyone had been waiting for finally came. There was no need for Eve to personally contact familiar media reporters to make her voice heard. Everything seemed very natural, with no trace of conspiracy or planning at all.

Moreover, it came from the New York Times, and it had its own aura of effect enhancement. This was the best platform that I could not even dream of.

I had thought that if US Weekly could catch the clue and publish the report immediately, that would be the ceiling, but I had not expected the New York Times to launch such an indiscriminate and comprehensive attack.

The effect of the revelations far exceeded Eve's expectations.

Now, everything is ready and the east wind has arrived. When to pull the trigger next is completely in Eve's hands.

This also means that Eve is 90% sure that they can control the situation. The only reason it is not 100% is because of the habitual caution of public relations people.

Therefore, even though the two assistants' reactions were a little slow, it did not ruin Eve's good mood.

"The signal has just come out. The time is far from coming."

"Firstly, all the focus is here, and other news cannot be as popular as this, so the effect cannot be maximized."

"Secondly, the general public is in shock and shock just like you. They don't have time to digest the news properly. No matter how shocking the news is, their reaction will be slow, and we won't be able to achieve the effect we expect."

"Third, and most importantly, we need everyone to be angry, whether it's sympathy, anger, or other emotions, to lay the foundation for our subsequent performance. Just like Dementors, they feed on fear. We are also Dementors now."

"Patience, remain patient. Anyway, we shouldn't be the ones who are trembling with fear and restlessness right now."

Assistant No. 1: ...

Assistant No. 2: ...

In the end, he still asked, "Who?"

This time, Eve didn't answer. She jumped off the table, took out a cigarette from her handbag, lit it up, and put it in her mouth, "Some big shots."

Huh, Eve exhaled a puff of smoke.

……

Michael Lynton was also smoking.

He exhaled a long puff of smoke gently, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually became blurred in the swirling mist, but still could not hide the seriousness and heaviness in them.

Everything went as expected.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread in a mighty manner, and public opinion was unanimous in favor of Anson, standing firmly behind Anson.

And, began to seek justice for Anson, holding people accountable one after another—

People need an object of condemnation, but a general and vague term like "paparazzi" is clearly not enough to carry their anger.

As a result, innocent people were affected.

NYPD, why has the investigation not made any progress and the real culprit has not been caught? It is hard to imagine how miserable the lives of ordinary people are when such a high-profile case is still dragging on.

"Spider-Man 2" crew, why were the paparazzi able to sneak into the crew to take pictures and cause a disaster but get away with it? Has the crew not yet investigated the matter clearly?

How does Mount Sinai Hospital protect the rights of VIP patients? If VIP patients are also facing life-threatening situations, what about ordinary patients?

Not only that, innocent people like Sam Raimi and Kirsten Dunst were also indiscriminately involved, and netizens went crazy.

Sony Columbia is no exception.

But at present, public opinion mainly blames Sony Columbia for its inaction.

"Sony Columbia, have you forgotten that when the uniform was stolen, you offered a $25,000 reward, showing your iron-fisted attitude; and now, not only is your Spider-Man injured, but the new uniform has also been exposed, and you are just swallowing your anger? Is this normal?"

Everyone is united in defending Anson.

Imagine if the general public knew that Sony Columbia was auditioning Anson's replacement at such a critical juncture, they would not care whether Sony Columbia was well prepared or faced any economic losses. Fortunately, Michael was alert and called a halt to the audition immediately.

Escaped.

Logically, Michael should be thankful and breathe a sigh of relief; however, Michael couldn't calm down and his temples were throbbing wildly.

disturbed.

A vague sense of uneasiness is building up.

Again and again, it pulled the nerves, making my entire scalp numb. The ups and downs of anxiety and helplessness made my heart feel erratic.

Michael vaguely felt that this was still not the peak of the storm.

But, is this possible?
Now the public opinion has reached a new and unprecedented height, with people even linking Anson to Princess Diana.

Six years ago, people were unable to protect the much-admired and respected Princess Diana, and in the end they only presented a bouquet of flowers at the gate of Buckingham Palace.

Six years later, they refuse to repeat the same mistake.

"Protect Anson."

One after another, some people shouted slogans, which have not received much support at present. After all, Anson is not Princess Diana, Anson is just... Spider-Man; but the wave of public opinion can still be felt.

It is no exaggeration to say that the general public’s condemnation and rejection of “entertainment to death” has reached a historical high, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it hatred.

So, how could things continue to escalate?
Michael understood these principles and analyses, but he still felt uneasy.

My temples are throbbing wildly and my nerves are so stretched to the limit that they seem like they might break at any moment.

But Michael remained calm and focused because he knew it was the only way out of the predicament.

No, you can't sit still.

Michael still couldn't sort out his thoughts. He was not sure what would happen next, and the source of his uneasiness was still unknown.

However, Michael is not the type to sit back and wait for death. Although he doesn't know what waves are brewing behind the storm, it doesn't mean that he can't fight back.

The best defense is offense.

Moreover, Michael did not give up, he was still ready to replace Anson.

It's not about Anson, it has nothing to do with Anson, it's purely because of Amy. At this point, no matter who Spider-Man is, as long as he is chosen by Amy, he is Michael's enemy and he must be replaced.

This is the fastest way for Michael to take over "Spider-Man 2" and gain a foothold at Sony Columbia.

Michael's brain started to work at high speed.

This matter requires long-term planning and cannot be rushed; but we cannot just sit and wait for death now. It is better to do it sooner rather than later, and faster rather than slower.

So, the first step is -

Michael took a deep puff of cigarette and then exhaled slowly, a calm smile appearing on his gentle and elegant face.

The uneasiness gradually subsided because he began to control the situation again. He no longer had to sit back and watch or passively take the beating.

This is a good thing. As long as he starts to make a move, his opponent must respond, and more variables will appear in the game as you and your opponent move back and forth.

Now, since the general public needs someone to blame, a vicious criminal, a super villain who entertains himself to death, then... he will give everyone one.

It's that simple.

After all, the general public is always stupid and can be easily manipulated, deceived and exploited. Since the person behind the scenes can incite people's emotions, he can also divert people's anger.
