American fame and fortune

Chapter 360: A Good Journalist Produces News

Santa Monica, the Sunshine Hotel near the beach.

Ivan came out of the bathroom, entered the beach area of ​​the hotel, and saw Heath Ledger playing volleyball with someone from a distance, looking for a place to sit down, and waiting patiently.

Jody came over with his assistant, sat next to him, picked up the newspaper in front of him, and whispered, "It's been two days, and I haven't found a chance yet."

Ivan has just started this industry, and with the influence of Martin and Bruce, his bottom line is much higher than these authentic reporters: "He may hide in the room or use it in other places, we can't drag him out in public and force things into in his mouth."

The assistant whispered: "I found out that Heath Ledger comes to the beach every day to breathe."

Ivan was very patient: "Calm down, wait a little longer."

The assistant is relatively young, not calm enough, and came up with a bad idea: "How about we take a few pictures of him smoking, and then look at the pictures..."

"Shut up." Jody reprimanded in a low voice: "You are working for TMZ, not American Rumors! TMZ reporters must uphold professional ethics, and the news they report must stand the test, and they must not fabricate facts."

The assistant stopped talking. TMZ has not been established for a long time, but it has established a brand precisely because of the authenticity of the revelations.

Jody flipped through the newspaper: "It's not an option to wait so long."

Ivan asked, "What can you do?"

"Be proactive and give him a push." ​​Jody thought for a while and said, "When did he need those medicines urgently?"

Ivan was born at the bottom and has extensive knowledge in this area. He said: "In addition to seizures, when the mood fluctuates extremely, it often happens."

Jody asked again: "Who do you think Heath Ledger dislikes the most recently?"

Ivan took the initiative to cut: "I'm sure Martin Davis is a bastard. It is said that Heath Ledger, Martin Davis and Aniston did not receive any work after the incident in New York. The two originally scheduled The crew also abandoned him."

Jody muttered: "Michelle Williams broke off her engagement to Heath Ledger, who wasn't happy to let her go."

Looking at the people on the beach, she gradually got an idea, told her assistant to leave, walked to a distance, and said, "Let the people below print a few tabloids, and bring a few more people over tomorrow."

The assistant understands and does it immediately.

The next morning, Heath Ledger studied the script as in the past few days, and went to the hotel beach on time to breathe.

Just like the previous few days, he pulled on his sandals and walked on the sidewalk, halfway to the car Bell left for him, opened the trunk to get a bottle of mineral water.

Beside, there are two young people gossiping.

"Hollywood is such a mess. I heard that Julie and Aniston have an affair with Martin Davis." The man with the mustache said, "I really envy him!"

Another man with a crew cut said: "These are old news, you didn't read today's tabloids, Michelle Williams had a tryst with Martin Davis yesterday, and they went into the hotel together for a long time."

All these words fell into the ears of Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger was like being hit by a stick in the chest, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

There was a newsstand on the beach, and he walked over unconsciously. As soon as he arrived in front of the newsstand, he saw a tabloid placed in a conspicuous place.

On the front page was a picture of Michelle Williams entering the hotel with Martin Davis.

The photo is obviously from a candid shot, the resolution is not very high, and it looks somewhat awkward, but Heath Ledger is too familiar with his ex-fiancee, and he will never admit it wrong.

He took out the money, bought a newspaper from the female boss, and read it carefully.

The tabloids vividly described Michelle Williams entering the hotel hand in hand with Martin, only to emerge alone more than three hours later.

Heath Ledger knows the environment and atmosphere in the circle all too well. If male and female stars entered the same hotel hand in hand, no ghost would believe it if nothing happened.

It's been less than half a month since the two of them broke off their engagement!

Michelle Williams is looking for someone else, even if it is Bell, he can accept it, but he is looking for Martin Davis!

"She wants to take revenge on me?" Heath Ledger seemed to be hit on the head with a stick, he was dizzy, his head was almost turned into mud, and his eyes were black.

His lips were murmured, there were countless words stuffed in his mouth, and he didn't know how to vent it.

betray? escape? face? Heath Ledger didn't know what to make of this.

Dazed for a while, he rolled up the newspaper and threw it into the trash can next to him. He walked a few steps forward and sat down on the steps at the edge of the beach.

Just sitting there in a daze, like a stone carving.

Jody, who had just sold the newspaper, was even a little worried. This person didn't seem to have strong psychological endurance. If he committed suicide, he would be in trouble.

Shall I tell him the truth?

Jody hesitated for only two seconds, then shook his head secretly, what news is important about human life.

After sitting for a few minutes, Heath Ledger finally stood up. His low mood caused him to feel very uncomfortable all over his body. Once this feeling appeared, it was like a hundred thousand worms crawling in his heart, pushing him toward the nearby park. car to go.

Now, he needs a closed environment.

Jody picked up the walkie-talkie under the newspaper and said, "He's heading for Target 1, everyone get ready."

For the day, Jody brought four photojournalists, all using TMZ's best camera gear.

Heath Ledger got in the car, closed the door, reached into the gap on the side of the seat, and fumbled for a plastic bag.

Not too far away from the car, several people took camouflaged cameras and took pictures of Heath Ledger's every move from the position of the front windshield and the two windows.

Jody quickly handled the finishing work, put away several privately printed fake newspapers, put them in the bag, went to the trash can next to him, dug out the newspapers thrown away by Heath Ledger and put them away, and then waved to the beach far away. waved.

A middle-aged Latino man ran over and said, "It's over so soon?"

Jody took out some dollars and held them up in front of him.

Just as the Latino was about to take it, Jody flashed over and said, "This is the tail gold, you haven't seen me."

"Of course, I don't even know who you are or what you do right now." The Latino boss just wants money.

Jody left the beach, went to a nearby parking lot, got into a commercial vehicle, waited for more than ten minutes, and several subordinates all returned to the vehicle.

"Head, it's done, big news!" The assistant was very excited holding the camera hidden in the bag.

Another said: "I have a better angle!"

One woman was very helpless: "The car windows are covered with dark film, which is not as clear as the front windshield."

Jody took the video camera of the first two people, checked the video, and after watching it for a long time, he smiled, and got the news about Heath Ledger!

She patted the driver's seat: "Go, go back to the company!"

The commercial vehicle started immediately and left the hotel.

"Boss, you are still smart!" The assistant is very good at flattering: "It's easy to get a big piece of news."

Jody looked around and took the opportunity to tell his subordinates: "We are TMZ, we don't report fake news! The team I lead is TMZ's gold medal team. You must always keep professional ethics in mind and never touch fake news."

She changed her voice: "In today's case, you have to remember that when you can't find news, you must use your subjective initiative. Sometimes news doesn't happen naturally, and it can be produced from our hands."

It was a real case just now, and all the subordinates admired Jody. It is not for nothing that a woman from a paparazzi background can take the position of editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief has real talents!

The group returned to the TMZ headquarters and got busy immediately. Jody first disposed of the tabloids that he had printed privately, completely destroying the corpse.

After her subordinates processed the news and adjusted the clarity, she personally directed the upload.

Jody stood with his hands on his hips, standing behind a technician, commanding: "Choose three videos for this news. The first, I brought back the other day, the one with Heath Ledger going berserk. The second, After the Brooklyn studio incident, Heath Ledger held a press conference, apologized to the whole society, and announced that he would completely quit the video."

She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "The last one, the video shot today, was shot from the front windshield with the B camera."

This video not only captured the whole process of Heath Ledger, but also all kinds of ugliness during the attack.

The assistant said at the right time: "The first three videos are placed in the same news, the contrast is particularly strong, and it allows people to see his true face more clearly."

Jody nodded slightly and said, "Add the text news and publish it."

News about Heath Ledger was quickly uploaded to the website.

Jody made a phone call to the editorial department: "Brokeback Mountain's male lead, the Australian movie star Heath Ledger's fierce news, hurry up and release it, and push it to the front page."

Soon, the news appeared on the TMZ website.

In the past week, TMZ did not make any surprises. Heath Ledger's video news was hung in a very prominent position on the homepage of the webpage after a few minutes.

Nowadays, many people in the industry in Hollywood, or people who eat melons in North America, often stare at TMZ, and go in to have a look if they have nothing to do. After all, TMZ will get big and sweet melons from time to time.

It tastes absolutely delicious.

News about it spread quickly.

…………

At the same time, Bruce finished his interview with Ivan, and after dismissing him, he drove back to the Four Seasons Hotel and went upstairs to find Martin.

He swiped the door with his key card, and as soon as he entered, he found Martin turning his head and grinning suddenly.

The smile was creepy, full of cruelty and weirdness, like a pervert.

Bruce muttered to himself, this guy is a pervert.

Martin sat on the sofa in a weird posture that did not conform to the previous style, and said, "Old Bu, don't be so serious, just smile."

Bruce raised the corners of his mouth with his hands and raised it above his ears: "Do you have a good smile?"

Martin laughed: "It's so handsome." He asked, "Is there any good news?"

Bruce said: "Jody took the TMZ people and took the desired video, which has been posted on the TMZ website."

Martin stood up, walking in a weird way like Scott, and his voice was evil: "Let me think about it, how should it explode next? Well...I thought of it, it's time for the guarantee company to appear."

He came to the floor-to-ceiling windows and stretched out his hands: "Before the audition starts, I want to pinch the biggest threat!"
