The headquarters of the "National Inquirer" has been blocked for seven days, but the demonstrators did not extinguish their anger. They still appeared at the headquarters gate on time every day, staging sit-in demonstrations, and blocked the scene. The strict iron barrel array made the whole newspaper miserable.

Although the demonstrators did not take any actual actions, their substantive gazes were as cold and violent, and it was chilling.

In the beginning, the "National Inquirer" still insisted on the dignity of the uncrowned king, and was always unwilling to compromise, and raised his arrogant head high. What's more, just three days later, the "Beautiful Mind" crew resumed filming, and the "Los Angeles Times" also issued an official statement from the crew, clarifying all previous rumors, saying that the crew currently has no problems and is fully engaged in filming. This makes the "National Inquirer" even more arrogant: Now that the Hugo is all right, what are these demonstrators still pursuing? The crew itself did not condemn it, and the onlookers stayed wherever it was cool.

However, the "National Inquirer" did not expect that since the "resistance" three years ago, the authority of the Uncrowned King has been severely damaged. People's complaints against the news media have accumulated to a high level, and everyone knows how to express themselves strongly. It’s not so easy for the “National Inquirer” to get through as before.

The seven consecutive days of protests quickly made the "National Inquirer" miserable up and down. Compared with the sit-in demonstrations, what is even more terrifying is that the movement of "rejecting the "National Inquirer"" has been launched all over the United States. This caused the sales of newspapers to quickly drop from the average level of 3 million to 1.8 million. The decline was very tragic, making the entire newspaper gloomy, even the "New York Post", "USA Today" and other previously incited fans. Newspapers have been implicated, and sales have fallen in different ways.

The "National Inquiry" is a supermarket tabloid. They are distributed free of charge in the supermarket. Most housewives enter the supermarket with a copy to pass the time. It is precisely because of the huge basic consumer group that the advertising volume of this gossip tabloid remains high. In many cases, its sales are even better than many major newspapers sold in the United States. "National Inquiry" does not survive on sales, but on advertising, but the standard for advertising sponsorship is the level of sales.

As a result of the seven consecutive days of protests, the "National Inquirer" faced not only the decline in sales, but the more frightening decline in word-of-mouth.

Originally used as a supermarket gossip tabloid, the "National Inquirer" had no so-called reputation, so even if it was defeated in the previous head-to-head confrontations with Hugo, it was even regarded as the main behind-the-scenes case of Michael Jackson. One of them, but it still survived tenaciously-because people knew that this newspaper was trying to catch the wind, and most of the time it was read as a fun talk to pass the time after a meal.

But now, the "National Inquirer" is facing accusations such as "fabricated slander, slander, malicious distortion, personal assault, and disease discrimination". This has gone beyond the scope of "gossip talk" and has risen to the issue of personal rights. So sensitive. The topic of feeling is something that no organization dare to touch easily.

In an instant, the entertainment effect of the "National Inquirer" was no longer there. On the contrary, it was also burdened with infringement of personal rights, making its non-existent image directly develop into a negative value.

The butterfly effect that followed was that a large number of advertising sponsors decided to withdraw their sponsorship. This can almost be said to be a way of drawing money from the bottom of the pan that cut off the "National Enquirer". This was the fatal blow that made the entire newspaper truly miserable.

Seven days after the "Hugo staying in the magpie's nest?" this news was published, the "National Inquirer" finally couldn't resist the pressure and published the clarification news, "'Beautiful Mind' was shut down for three days and restarted", in the news report Reported on the "Beautiful Mind" crew from an objective and true perspective. Most of the content quoted the crew's official statement so that readers can know the truth.

At first, everyone thought that this protest was about to come to an end. But it didn't.

The sit-in demonstration team still appeared in front of the office building of the National Inquirer on the eighth day, and the situation became more serious, not only in New York, but in many offices including Seattle, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago. A large number of sit-in demonstration teams have also gathered.

These teams are dressed in the same white T-shirts, all of which are the same peripheral costumes of the "Blurry Rain" world tour. They hide neatly and quietly in the square in front of the office building. They are in order and orderly, but they have no impact on society. Any impact on life is obviously carefully planned and arranged.

What is even more exaggerated is that during the rush hour, many office workers also joined the demonstration team, making the entire lineup more magnificent.

Faced with this situation, the editors of the "National Inquiry" were almost furious, and almost fainted with high blood pressure when they were so angry, "They...what else do they want!"

Fox TV once again demonstrated the demeanor of the nation's No. 1 news TV station. It interviewed the demonstrators at the scene as soon as possible and provided answers for everyone.

"Our anger has not subsided! We still do not feel the sincerity of the media! When the media make up, fabricate, and exaggerate facts for its own benefit, it not only deceives the public, but also plays with the so-called'right to know'. It hurts the parties involved. This is an insult to the supervision of public opinion and the freedom of the press. It also turns the rights of the people into a weapon to hurt others, but they think that a clarification of the report can calm us. Angry? No, this is absolutely impossible! Apologize, we need him to make a formal official apology! We need to see the sincerity shown by him, we need to see the sincerity shown by the media! The crown of the uncrowned king is by the masses I put it on for you, but in the same way, the masses have the right to take off this crown!"

Standing in front of the media, Joshua Cranston was impassioned, and he was not humble, powerful, and loud. Even the reporters who came to interview him were speechless for a while and couldn't make a direct response.

After the "resistance action" three years ago, the news awakening of ordinary people has been unstoppable, and with the gradual popularization of computer use, the Internet is improving step by step, and the era of uncrowned kings is gone forever. Until today, the news media are deeply aware of this.

Fox TV reported on the prime time news at eight o'clock in the evening, which further escalated the whole incident.

Faced with such a provocation, the "National Inquirer" is still unwilling to compromise with its neck. In the media circles, many veteran media people stand on the side of the "National Inquirer"-they are not defending this supermarket tabloid, but the dignity as the uncrowned king. They have continued their pride and pride for more than a century. These ordinary people are not allowed to tarnish. This support made the "National Inquirer" more confident, but on the contrary, it cheered up and was unwilling to compromise.

However, the new generation of media people has vaguely noticed: a new era of media has inevitably arrived. Last year, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks starred in "Electronic Love Letters," which proved so popular. Just like the historical development of the film industry, the historical pace of news cannot be stopped.

In the next three days, the demonstrators grew stronger and stronger. Not only ordinary people, but also people from all walks of life began to join the ranks of solidarity. The first thing that happened was still the voice from the movie circle. With Hugo's current appeal and popularity in Hollywood, there are definitely not a few people who are willing to put a knife on him.

Sean Penn was the first to stand up. The actor who had always had a bad relationship with the media gave Hugo support without hesitation, followed by Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Meryl- The three top actors of Streep also expressed their support; after that, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas also took the initiative to accept media interviews, standing behind Hugo, the most impressive Surprisingly, even James Cameron lashed out at the media-but considering his poor relationship with the media, this is not surprising.

The incident is escalating bit by bit. With Mark Canton being the first to set an example, "I think the National Inquirer should apologize The matter has completely lost control. Although Mark did not publish. Any other point of view is only aimed at the "National Inquirer". As the CEO of a large company, they must be cautious in their every move. They cannot directly target the media-it may be possible after ten years, but in It is impossible now in 1999. Therefore, such a view of Mark has been very valuable, which also means that Hollywood's top presence has also joined the occupation, making the balance of victory begin to tilt.

The pride of the "Uncrowned King" is bestowed by the masses, and the sense of existence of the "Uncrowned King" is inextricably linked to Wall Street. When the masses stand against them, when Wall Street also begins to pressure them, the New York Times One fell back, followed by the "Washington Post" and the "Los Angeles Times", then the "Wall Street Journal" and the "San Francisco Chronicle."

The scale of the sit-in demonstrations is getting bigger and bigger. On the fourteenth day of the demonstrations, more than 50 million people in New York had already joined the demonstrators. On the fifteenth day, the headline of the "National Inquirer" used red fonts to express compromise, with the sentence "I'm sorry, I once again formally express my apologies for this improper remarks, to Hugo Lancaster himself and the "Beautiful Mind" The crew apologized to the readers and the masses," this put an end to this mighty media war.

The uncrowned king, the proud head carrying the crown, slowly lowered.
