872 The truth is revealed

Bradley-Adams stared intently at the computer screen, his thoughts welling up, his hands pounding on the keyboard, writing down his thoughts.

"Hype Gate", from the origin to the rise to the boiling, the fermentation of the event is becoming more and more intense.

At first, Bradley was more to protect Lan Li's reputation, find the truth of the matter, and try to restore the original appearance of the matter, but gradually, the justice and responsibility of being a journalist are awakening, which not only involves Lan Li-Hall, but also the decadent phenomenon that pervades the whole society, and he hopes to use his pen to truly fulfill the duty of a journalist: public opinion supervision and guidance of society.

Perhaps, for Entertainment Weekly, for Harvey Weinstein, this is just another hype, just another academy PR run for awards season, but for Bradley, he still retains the ethics and ideals of a journalist, and he doesn't want to lose them.

"Bradley. There was a colleague's shout in his ear, but Bradley didn't look back, his hands were still tapping on the keyboard quickly, and the other party called twice more, and finally simply walked over, "Your internal phone has a clue that it can provide direct evidence of the Lanli-Hall incident." ”

Bradley remained unmoved, preoccupied. For the New York Times, similar news threads appear every day, and the news focus has been at its peak lately, with an average of at least twenty calls a day.

"Bradley, it's Cross. Heather Cross's parents. Again, Bradley snapped to his feet, muttering, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Number two. The other party said reflexively, and after saying it, he began to protest, "Hey, you ignored me yourself." I've given you such an important clue, how are you going to repay me?"

Bradley waved his hand as if the puppy was away, "I'll treat you to dinner next time." Then he didn't bother to explain, and connected to Line 2, "This is Bradley Adams, please." ”

"Mr. Adams, this is Derek Cross. ”

"Hey, Mr. Cross. This was not the first communication between Bradley and Derek, Bradley had interviewed Derek and Elle before the concert.

After the recent news broke, Bradley also knew that interviewing the Crosses and clarifying all the negative news as the parties was the most direct and straightforward way.

But Andy Rogers called to emphasize that Lan Li did not want to disturb the Crosses, nor did he want to disturb Mount Sinai Hospital. Therefore, the development of the whole incident has only deviated from the track, but it has unexpectedly burst out with a different brilliance.

Derek hesitated for a moment, "I'm sorry, I'm just calling now, Elle and I only saw the news today, so we just understood the situation." Right now...... How's Lan Li?"

"Lan Li is good. Bradley replied, "You know, Ranley is an admirable young man, he's very nice. Even as a journalist, looking back at the ins and outs of the matter, Bradley had to express his admiration.

“…… That's good. Derek's voice choked up slightly for a moment, at this moment, his mood was really complicated, and it was difficult to say a word, but for Lan Li, he knew that he owed him a "sorry", "Well, I discussed it with Ellie, I think we need to clarify the facts to the media, we can't let Lan Li bear such an infamy, it's not right." Heather...... Heather wouldn't agree either. ”

"Are you sure?" Bradley hesitated, "After the incident, I actually thought about contacting you, but ...... Lan Li doesn't want to disturb you. You know, I'm also very sorry for Heather's departure, Lan Li doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Heather, and once you come forward, those reporters will be pestering you. ”

Standing next to the phone, Ellie clearly heard Bradley's words, covered her mouth, and the cry still leaked out.

There was also a hint of nasality in Derek's words, and his vision blurred, "Jesus Christ." Derek clenched his fists in chagrin, his chest swelling with indescribable remorse and anger.

"No...... I mean, I don't mind. We all know the truth of the matter. What's more, Heather doesn't want to see such a situation, her dreams, her world, only Lan Li can truly understand. Lan Li ......" Derek's words also choked up, "Well, Lan Li has been sticking to his agreement, and Heather won't want to break it." ”

Bradley nodded, "I respect your decision. So, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Derek took a deep breath, "Elle and I want to have a press conference, but we don't know how to contact the media, can you please help?"

"Of course, of course there is no problem!" Bradley agreed neatly, "You tell me the time and place, and I can take care of the rest." ”

After hanging up, Bradley sat down at his desk, a little dazed.

From the first meeting at the premiere of "Pacific War" to today, Lan Li's image has gradually become full and three-dimensional, perhaps, the weight of the "Don Quixote" album is far beyond imagination, even the three gramophone trophies are not enough.

As never before, Bradley began to wonder and look forward to what kind of artist Lan Li would become and what place he would occupy in the long history.

Taking a deep breath and retracting his wandering thoughts, Bradley began to get busy.

A week, seven days have passed since the shocking feature report of "Entertainment Weekly".

In the Bible, God created the world in seven days, and in real life, seven days have also experienced earth-shaking changes, and the "hypegate" has gradually evolved into a typical social case, becoming a condensation of the entire era, but the controversy has not stopped, but has caused more and more discussions and controversies.

Until today.

Two husband and wife, Derek Cross and Ellie Cross, Heather Cross's parents, officially held a press conference to tell the truth in front of more than 130 journalists. It's not just a "one-man concert", but also a look back at the past three years.

From Heather's illness, to Heather's dream, to Heather's cheer up, Lan Li has always played an important role, and finally came to the disturbances of the past half a month, as well as ...... "one-man concert".

"This is a concert for one person, a concert for Heather, and a concert for every dreamer. This was the last wish of Heather's life. As she spoke, Elle could not stop crying, and Derek tried to take over his wife's words, but Elle refused, it was her obligation, and at the same time she could at least make amends.

Regaining her strength, Elle said strongly, "A week before her condition deteriorated, Heather was preparing to participate in the audition for 'American Idol', for which she had been preparing for almost half a year. At the concert, Heather wanted Heather to sing the song, but Heather said that it was their promise, and he wanted Heather to sing it herself, but unfortunately, Heather did not make it to the day when he made good on his promise. Later, at the Grammys, Lan Li sang the song, fulfilling their promise. ”

The truth has finally revealed its original appearance. The song "The Beast" is a gift from Lan Li to Heather, and it is also a dream that Lan Li realized in place of Heather, and the three Grammy acceptance speeches are never a show or deliberate, but a real heartfelt shout and announcement.

With that, Ellie was completely devastated, and Derek picked up the conversation, explaining everything that had happened in the past week, as well as Lan Li's efforts to protect them.

As the Crosses broke their silence, the hindsight of Mount Sinai Hospital finally learned what had happened.

The nurses of the hospital took the initiative to stand up for the interview, and all the bits and pieces of the past three years were presented under the media, and every Christmas, the gifts given to the hospital by Lanli, as well as the gifts made by the children in the hospital for Lanli, are the best proof.

Furthermore, the parents of Anne Silriman and Alex Ricky also came forward to tell their stories and the efforts that Lan Li has put in for them.

Not only that, but after the overwhelming swearing and condemnation on the Internet gradually dissipated like a low tide, those voices of support gradually emerged and slowly gained the upper hand, from the audience who had personally experienced the "one-man concert" and from the listeners who had personally participated in the "Pioneer Village Night".

The puzzle of truth, piece by piece, gradually pieced together completely, the appearance of each piece is so real and so moving.

Just when the whole world was accusing that man of lying and cheating, when the whole world was using that man to hype up the news, and when the whole world was easily falling into the trap of that man, he did not feel sorry for himself, did not pity himself, and did not suffer and hate, but silently guarded his inner persistence and belief, and fought back strongly, and always insisted on himself and was unmoved.

Like "Don Quixote".

How lively, sensational, and noisy the previous news wave was, and how grand, how turbulent, and how heavy the shocking reverberations are now. The lies of "Entertainment Weekly" have exposed the whole picture, confirmed the rhetoric of "America Weekly", confirmed the condemnation of the "New York Times" and the "New Yorker", and even more confirmed the cruelty and embarrassment of real society.

Overnight, "Entertainment Weekly" became a street rat, and all the netizens, all the media, vented their anger at "Entertainment Weekly" and Cornell McGregor. People tend to forget, they selectively forget what they have done, and then righteously and condescendingly point the sword of judgment at the culprit to hide their panic and embarrassment.

The frenzy of public opinion has erupted tenfold or even hundredfold of energy.
