The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1475 Earthshaking
TMZ, "The band parted ways on August 31st, with 'Midsummer Midnight' becoming their swan song."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

A piece of news in just one sentence created an unimaginable response throughout the North American continent.

Although August 31st has only been around for less than two years, the band has definitely left a deep mark in its own way.

"The Tonight Show", "Midnight in Midsummer", European street tour, the "Don't Be Serious" stage at the Grammy Awards, etc., every step is a surprise.

The most magical and amazing thing is that August 31st did not embark on a formal concert tour, and the only official public stage they performed on was the Grammy Awards; however, they are recognized as the most shocking and impactful band in contemporary live performances and should not be missed.

Millions of fans are eagerly waiting for the band's concert tour.

However, everything came to an abrupt halt.

boom! Boom boom boom!
The waves were raging, the earth was shaking, and the entire music world was in chaos.

Some people are questioning the authenticity of the TMZ news; some people are denying it and refusing to believe the band's disbandment on August 31st; some people are gossiping about whether Anson abandoned the band members or the band members could no longer bear it and turned away.

In addition, some people are angry. On August 31, the band betrayed its beliefs. At the Grammy Awards earlier this year, the band members kept saying that they believed in their dreams and held on to hope and ran to the end. But in a blink of an eye, they announced their disbandment.

They believed they had been betrayed.

All kinds of things, the bustling discussions and debates simply cannot be stopped.

Of course, there are also voices of regret, sadness and blessings mixed in, and at this moment one can feel the influence of the band August 31st.

"Who betrayed August 31st?"

"The success and failure of the band are due to Anson. The band ended in Anson's hands on August 31st."

"Do I need to guess? Anson must have gotten rid of those burdens because he thought they were getting in the way."

"Please, use your brain to think. Without Anson, there would be no August 31st Band. Now those who are blaming Anson are all brainless, right? Oh, sorry, you have no brains, then use your knees to think."

"It was expected a long time ago. Anson Wood is not on the same level as the others. I can't even name the other band members. Disbanding is inevitable."

"Like the Beatles, does anyone remember the names of the other two members? Anson Wood is the John Lennon of the Beatles."

"My world collapsed, God, my faith and my dreams were all over, and I didn't believe in any band anymore."

“Sure enough, the band ended up disbanding.”

"Oh. The Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are both gone, and August 31st is about the same."

The whole network exploded.

It is not just social networks that know that the influence of netizens’ comments is limited; but news media, hot posts on forums, radio stations, etc. are flooded with these headlines, and the hustle and bustle of heated discussions are rising steadily, filling our field of vision.

Sensation, earthquake, volcanic eruption.

People are witnessing the dissolution of an iconic symbol again and again, which seems to be becoming a curse of the times, and the ugliness and filthiness of the world of fame and fortune seem to have a new interpretation.

TMZ, "Instead of 'disbanding because of musical ideas', the band August 31st said goodbye amicably and each embarked on their own path to pursue their musical dreams. Although no longer releasing albums, the band August 31st still exists."

Everyone: ??? What do you mean?
People can understand that TMZ is implying that those bands that claim to have disbanded because of musical ideas are really just the dirty and filthy things in the Vanity Fair, which is obviously not the case with August 31st. But...what on earth is TMZ talking about?
Why don't they read the news headlines themselves? What a grammatically incorrect, self-contradictory mess. Could the journalists please wake up?

TMZ, "On August 31, the band will sign with Warner Music and start anew."

TMZ, "The new band formed by Miles, Lily and Connor has signed a contract and is currently preparing for an album. This will be a legacy and innovation for the August 31st band. They are ready to explore their own colors based on Anson."

TMZ, "The new lead singer of a new band is still shrouded in mystery, but it won't be easy for anyone to take Anson's place."

TMZ, "Warner Music is focusing on renewing Anson's contract and trying to convince Anson to release an album as a solo artist. Warner Music has handed over a record contract of historic level and is waiting for Anson to give his approval."

TMZ, "Universal Music and Sony Music are eyeing Anson Wood's future and trying to pull the pieces out of his coveted position. His whereabouts are changing the landscape of the record industry."

Messages, one after another.

The entire network was surging. Although social networks had not yet appeared, TMZ played such a role, continuously updating news one by one, and updating the dynamics of this incident at all times in a live broadcast format.

The storm spread like a tsunami.

Not only ordinary people were watching the news, the stock market also fluctuated because of the news. The share prices of Warner Records, Universal Music, and Sony Records were like a roller coaster, rising and falling in real time, so that investors became nervous and uneasy, and experienced the thrill of a real roller coaster.

This is the influence of Anson and the band August 31st. It was just a contract, but it attracted the attention of the entire industry.

TMZ once again became famous due to this incident and stood at the center of the storm, standing out when no one else could get the inside information.

Laymen marveled at TMZ's omnipresence, but true insiders smelled something unusual. Without inside information, TMZ could not have been so accurate and timely, or even broadcast the latest developments live by swiping the screen.

Things are obviously not that simple.

There is also something unusual behind the rise of TMZ.

So, who is behind TMZ and controlling this puppet?

TMZ, "Warner Music hands over historic blockbuster contract."

TMZ, "Warner Records has reached an agreement with Anson and is about to sign him."

Historical level?

What does this mean?
Anson, although he is outstanding and excellent, his album "Midsummer Midnight" brought him both fame and fortune and wrote a series of legends; but he is still young after all.

Most intuitively, Anson has already stood at the top of the pyramid in Hollywood, but the film company is still hesitant about the 20 million club.

Rumor has it that Anson rejected the 20 million club and didn't care about the salary figure, otherwise there would be many projects willing to sign a 20 million dollar check and cooperate with Anson; but no one believed it.

This is even more true in the music world. No matter how much praise Anson receives, he has only released one album, which is far from enough.

So, what is this historic contract? Where did this historic contract come from?
What's more, the lesson of Viking Records is still fresh in our minds. Warner Records is not crazy. How could they be so crazy as to give Anson a big contract?

You can tell at first glance that this is the so-called "clickbait headline" that uses whatever means to attract attention and create buzz. TMZ is indeed a paparazzi that will do anything to create hype.
