Chapter 757 757 The Last Offensive
A "bang" sound came from the door, and Tracy turned his head and looked at the door. His slow brain reacted. It should be that newspapers and magazines were delivered every day, but... Isn't it only midnight now?
Tracy frowned and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and found that it was already sunny outside, and Los Angeles ushered in a new day. Tracy's eyes could not help but close because of the dazzling sunshine. The warm temperature spread on her cheeks, as if a light elf was dancing on her skin. At this time, Tracy realized that after she returned home last night, she sat on the sofa in a daze. In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn, and her outfit was still exactly the same as yesterday, with bright red evening dresses, exquisite makeup, dazzling accessories... All of this was still so gorgeous, but at this moment it made people feel worthless.
Tracy walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, poured it into his stomach in one breath, then walked towards the door, opened the door, picked up a stack of newspapers and magazines outside, and took it back to the sofa.
Tracy hesitated for a moment and took the lead in opening the "Los Angeles Times". After all, this is the most important newspaper on the entire West Coast and the most influential newspaper in the film industry. This newspaper's influence on ordinary people far exceeds the two professional publications in the industry, "Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety Show", and no one can ignore it.
The front page headline of the Los Angeles Times is "Schindler's List" that wins Oscars. The photos used are the biggest winner Steven Spielberg. The huge success of the two works "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park" has brought Steven's reputation to an unprecedented new height.
This is not surprising, Tracy had expected such a result.
Then I opened the entertainment version. The headlines of the entertainment version are still related to the Oscars. However, this time, the Los Angeles Times selected four historical acting award winners as headline photos. Tom Hanks and Holly Hunter were both nominated for the first time, while Hugo Lancaster and Anna Paquin won the championship immediately for the first time. Most importantly, the final victory of these four actors can be regarded as creating history, the advantage of average age, the advantage of absolute strength, and the advantage of public opinion... This undoubtedly made this year's acting award unanimously praised.
Tracy looked at Hugo holding the little golden man's smile, and her hands tightened a little, and her inner hatred was like an ice cone, and she went deep into her heart again. However, there was no loophole in Tracy's expression, because she had long been used to such pain, and she was not surprised by such a scene. The entry point of the "Los Angeles Times" report was still expected.
Tracy then glanced down, and there was indeed no news of "farewell to the Heaven of Love". This is the reality. No one cares about the tears of the losers. Not long ago, Hugo did not win the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Globe Awards, which attracted heated discussions from the media. But in fact, even if the media expressed regret for the losers, the winners were always the winners.
Just as Tracy was about to put down the newspaper and then read the "New York Times", his eyes touched a section in the lower right corner, and then his hands stopped immediately. Tracy's eyes carefully looked at the news published in the small section, and his hands still couldn't stop trembling slightly.
This report tells the story of "insider story of ticket swiping". The news mentioned that a producer who started with "j" is the behind-the-scenes messenger of the ticket swiping. After the producer failed, he did not hesitate to use all the resources in his hands to retaliate.
The producer once produced an Oscar-nominated film. The film made a legend at the beginning. Although it failed to win the award, it created history and made the director of the work prove his strength. At the same time, the producer also produced a top action series of movies, which has been released in two movies, and the third one is currently in the process of production.
In fact, the original ticket-brusher was the Los Angeles Times. They followed the gossip magazine "US Weekly" to expose the news. It was precisely because of the authority of the Los Angeles Times that this news caused an uproar.
This time is no exception.
Although about five days ago, the "National Inquiry" had already revealed the true identity of the mastermind behind the ticket-brushing door, and did not mention the real name. It was just referring to the very referential keywords such as "I have made Oscar-nominated films, made high-box-office action movies, and have been sluggish in the past two years, and have had scandals with a male actor." Unfortunately, the nonsense of the "National Inquiry" is too powerful and not many people are willing to believe it, especially without evidence.
Subsequently, the two local newspapers, "Daily.news" and "Orange.county.register", also conducted related reports.
California is the state with the largest number of daily newspapers in the United States, with a total of 94 daily newspapers, and there are even more heroes around Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times is only the most influential and has the largest circulation, but they only account for one-third of the market and cannot form a monopoly at all. The remaining two-thirds of the market is occupied by countless daily newspapers.
Among these numerous daily newspapers, the "Orange County Chronicle" benefited from the powerful effect of the rich area of Orange County. In 1993, in 1994, the circulation of up to 300,000 copies was definitely the top newspaper in California's influence; the same is true for the "Daily News", which also set up its headquarters in Woodland, Los Angeles, and the circulation of up to 200,000 copies.
Therefore, the reports of the "Daily News" and the "Orange County Chronicle" can also be regarded as confirming the news of the "National Inquiry". This is also the reason why most reporters were shocked when Tracy appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars, but there was no reason for the attack.
The local daily newspapers in California have more influences locally, and their influence on the country is still very limited. The "Daily News" and "Orange County Chronicle" explicitly imply that the truth about ticket swiping gradually surfaced, but did not form a wide influence.
But now it’s different. The Los Angeles Times almost said Tracy’s name directly, which is equivalent to cutting off all Tracy’s retreat. The choice of this time point is vicious enough!
At this time, Tracy finally understood why daily newspapers such as "Daily News" seemed to have investigated their identity, but the major newspapers and magazines still did not reveal any news. Even magazines like "U.S. Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" that make a living by gossip were not moved. It turned out that it was not her escape, but they were all waiting for this opportunity: the time when the Oscars were decided.
Tracy knew that if "Say goodbye to Love Heaven" won, then this revelation would have caused Tracy to suffer a huge blow, and she would definitely not be able to live a good life. Even if the work wins, her reputation will still be damaged; and if "Say goodbye to Love Heaven" fails, then this is the best time to add to the injustice, and what awaits her is the ending of ruin.
In previous reports, the Los Angeles Times actually gave many hints, which made people constantly speculate. This time the hints they gave were even clearer. The Oscar nomination almost pointed to "purple", especially after Steven proved himself at the Oscar, the association became simpler; the series of movies was almost called "Die Hard"; plus the obvious "j" was actually referring to "jacobs". With more and more clues, Tracy's identity was about to emerge.
At the end of the report, the Los Angeles Times also stated that the ticket swipe has officially intervened in the investigation process, and the instructor behind the scenes will be punished accordingly; at the same time, both projects in the producer's hands have been officially suspended, and the third action movie series being produced has also been removed from his post. I just hope that this phenomenon of unspoken rules can be absolutely banned, and Hollywood is also a pure land.
Tracy suddenly sighed. Although she didn't know whether it was Hugo or Joseph's work, no matter who it was, they had grown up and were no longer the sloppy green who could easily control it. This idea made Tracy feel a little ridiculous.
Perhaps, in the past two months, her dormant, her small movements, her plans, including her appearance at the Oscar for the final try, all seemed so ridiculous in Hugo's eyes, but she didn't know it at all.
Tracy bit her lower lip tightly. She didn't regret it, but she was not willing to give up. Could it be that she really surrendered like this? Tracy couldn't help but clenched her hands into fists, tearing the newspaper in her hand into countless pieces.
Looking back at the Oscars last night, everyone avoided her like a snake and scorpion. Even if she was willing to socialize with her, she had layers of alienation and even a hint of pity. Although Tracy knew that this was the reality of Hollywood, she would have this kind of face when she was in high or low, and when she was in a glorious place, she still felt that all this was too terrible, just like a bottomless abyss, pulling her down and there was no way to get rid of it.
But she was still unwilling to accept it.
Thinking of this, Tracy pushed all the magazines in front of him, found out his address book, took the landline to the coffee table in the hall, and carefully searched for the person he could still contact.
