American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 194: Personally Finishing the Slash (Additional Update for the Sheep Catcher)

[I didn’t expect that the leader of the luxury goods industry would actually suppress a niche brand. ]

[Today, Rihanna and Lady Gaga have drawn a line between themselves and Stray. What Ryan said is definitely not groundless]

[Has LV fallen to this point? ]

[I am a passerby, but this time I stand with this star! ]

[Where did you come from, the person who posted Ryan's EP last month was a stranger? Ryan has not produced any evidence yet, so it is still unclear whether this is true or false. ]

[I don’t stand with anyone. I can’t afford this dress anyway.]

Within an hour of Ryan's statement being released, the essay went viral on the Internet.

When a rising star collides with a top luxury brand, this kind of beef is much more interesting than trash talking between rappers.

Ten minutes later, responses from individual LV employees began to appear on Twitter.

[It’s a clever marketing method, but he probably forgot that doing so would have a bad impact on LV’s reputation and he would be sued.] This person’s Twitter account is certified as an employee of LV headquarters.

[A certain LV marketing manager: Using this kind of boring measurement to mislead the public. As far as I know, LV has never used this method against any competitor. On the contrary, other competitors have done this to LV. ]

Many people below are wondering who this "competitor" is.

This person did not say it explicitly, but he mentioned implicitly that a certain competitor issued a notice to the upstream fabric supply chain, forcing the other party to choose between himself and LV.

Someone soon found out that it was Gucci who did it.

These responses were within Ryan's expectations. Overall, there were still quite a few people on his side.

For Ryan, this was just the beginning. He wrote two more short essays, mentioning some names in the first one and others in the second one.

Ryan plans to release the latter article after LV responds. Lydia's name is on the latter essay.

Then Ryan's phone started to ring non-stop. Some media, such as Entertainment Weekly, mainstream TV stations, newspapers, and fashion magazines, contacted Paula, and some contacted Ryan directly, expressing their desire to interview Ryan. They said that they could use the influence of the media to help Ryan spread his influence, but also expressed their attitude that they would not subjectively favor Ryan, which was a kind of exchange of interests. However, Ryan refused all of them. At this time, the Internet was much more useful than these magazines and traditional paper media.

As for LV, there was no response tonight.

After the concert, Ryan went to pick up Taylor from get off work.

Taylor just found out about this. The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he became worried: "If you file a complaint like this, you might be banned by LVMH."

"The enemy will not show you any mercy just because you surrender early." Ryan shook his head.

Taylor nodded but said nothing.

As a result, when I got back to the hotel, the first thing I did was to take out some of my LV-related leather goods and a large checkerboard suitcase.

She threw all the leather goods into the suitcase, took a few photos, and then sat back in front of her computer.

Soon, a photo appeared on all of Taylor's social media accounts, with a caption.

[I was packing my luggage during the tour and threw some trash into the trash can. 】

There are only LV bags in the picture, the meaning is self-explanatory.

Taylor was the first to come off the field and line up.

·
The next day, Ryan posted his second essay on the Internet. This time it was not a unilateral accusation, but mentioned multiple names, including the Hilton sisters, saying that LV called these people and asked them to choose one of the two.

Within an hour, Paris Hilton posted a response on the Internet: [This is a private matter and it is not convenient to answer. ]

Neither denied the entire report, but neither did they acknowledge the accuracy of Ryan's essay.

She even called Ryan directly, her words a little flustered: "Don't hurt me, I really can't help you with this!"

Paris would not do anything that might have even the slightest adverse effect on himself.

Not only Paris, all the names mentioned on the list remained silent on the matter, and no one came forward to corroborate the authenticity of Ryan's essay.

In the afternoon local time, LV's legal department account released a statement saying that it had sued Ryan in both the United States and France.

Public opinion began to reverse at this time.

Many people think that Ryan is a bit paranoid.

At this time, Ryan had already arrived in Portland, Oregon with Taylor, and Taylor made a lot of phone calls along the way.

"I've contacted a lawyer for you. Uncle Jesse has already contacted several lawyers who specialize in goodwill lawsuits for you." Taylor put down his phone and said to Ryan.

Ryan laughed and said he didn't need it at all.

"Do you have a backup plan?" Taylor immediately sensed something, but Ryan's expression was as if nothing had happened.

Ryan nodded: "You'll know tomorrow."

He and Taylor first went to the local Rose Garden Arena in Portland. At this time, the stage had been completely set up, but no one was debugging the equipment at all.

After the initial experience, Ryan didn't dare to slack off and immediately called the tour manager.

Before Taylor went to London, he fired his original tour manager. After being introduced through a fan forum, he found a middle-aged man named Robert Allen, who previously worked in a local theater in Nashville.

He looked a bit plain, with gray hair that was naturally curly and glasses. He came over with a walkie-talkie in his left hand and a hamburger in his right hand. "It's like this, Mr. Rivers, all the debugging work has been completed, and it was completed yesterday." Robert Allen said.

"It was completed yesterday?" Ryan was a little skeptical.

"That's right. Group B is carrying out the stage debugging and installation. A group of convoys from Group B left for Las Vegas last night. The stage construction should have started by now. Group A is currently carrying out the final debugging in Los Angeles. I will also go there later for the final acceptance." Robert Allen took a bite of the hamburger and said vaguely.

"Didn't you eat?" Ryan asked.

He shook his head: "I'm just plain hungry."

Judging from their body shape, they are people who love high-calorie foods.

Ryan felt relieved to hear that he had arranged everything so well.

Ryan also received a call from Anna Wintour that evening.

"Ryan, I contacted the head of LV's public relations department, who said that as long as you delete the relevant updates and claim that you didn't get the facts right, the other party will withdraw the lawsuit," Anna Wintour said on the phone.

It's not that she's lobbying for LV, she's taking the initiative to find a way out for Ryan.

Ryan smiled and said no.

The next day, Ryan and Taylor rushed to Los Angeles again. In the RV, Ryan posted the third status.

The content is similar to the second article, but a few new names are mentioned, including Lydia and Karlie Kloss.

Soon, Lydia stood up and corroborated Ryan's words as agreed before.

[What Ryan said was true. LV did call me. As for the content of the call, Ryan has already told me.]

Finally, a call record is attached.

The number displayed above was immediately discovered to be LV's internal number.

[The reason why I clarified this matter is very simple. Others obviously won't come forward due to their own interests, but someone needs to stand up. Objectivity and fairness are the motto of Hearst Media Group, and also the principle I must abide by as a member of the Hearst family.] She took the initiative to mention her identity, obviously also to gain a good reputation.

Ryan vaguely realized that this woman was no simple person, and her behavior of showing up in public now seemed to be more than just a rich girl's "dream of becoming a star."

Not only Lydia, but Karlie Kloss also directly released the evidence. What she released was a text message, and the sender was Faith. Faith mentioned LV's request in the text message. It is estimated that LV called Faith.

This somewhat surprised Ryan. You know, Carly is now Dior's most important opening model, and Dior and LV belong to the same parent company. Doing this is equivalent to stabbing the employer in the back. Losing her job is the most basic thing, and in the worst case, her entire career may be ruined.

Lydia relies on the background of the Hearst family and doesn't worry about the follow-up impact. She is a young model with nothing. Who would dare to hire her after doing this?

Not long after, Carly sent a text message to Ryan: [Shit, Lydia has come forward. I thought no one would speak up for you! Is it too late for me to withdraw now?]

It turned out that she was afraid that no one would stand up and speak for Ryan.

[It's useless. Someone has already taken a screenshot.]

[Hey, you made me lose my job again (smile)]

Dior headquarters.

Delphine was free and was observing the online argument between Ryan Rivers and LV. She had also been paying attention to this matter privately in the past few days.

On the one hand, I felt how swiftly Antoine acted, but on the other hand, I was somewhat worried for Ryan.

[Now that two people have come forward, I guess the LV public relations department is already in a state of panic.]

[The LV staff I visited before swore that this was not the case. Don’t trust what insiders say from now on. ]

[That's how it is. This time I ran into a tough guy. I don't know how many times I've done something similar before.]

What happened? Delphine was surprised to find that the discussion on this matter had reversed again in just two days.

After seeing the evidence sent by Lydia and Karlie Kloss one after another, Delphine finally understood the whole picture.

She noticed the time when the two women released their statements, which was no more than half an hour apart.

Let’s look at Ryan’s three statements, which were sent in three batches, and he deliberately left the evidence for the end.

After a little thought, Delphine realized that the so-called "accusation" was just a test, and Ryan had planned everything from the beginning.

Delphine began to search for Ryan's previous news, including the hype about his relationship with Taylor, his proposal after releasing a new song together, and the initial spread of Harlem Shake on the Internet. All signs indicate that...

This star is a master at manipulating public opinion!

It was Antoine's bad luck to meet him. Delphine sneered, her father would definitely scold Antoine if he knew about this.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Delphine made up her mind and decided to finish off her brother herself.

"Please help me contact this man named Ryan Rivers. I need to talk to him about something." Delphine called the secretary over.
