The headquarters of the "National Inquirer" has been blocked for seven days, but the demonstrators have not extinguished their anger at all. They still appear at the gate of the headquarters on time every day, launching sit-ins and demonstrations, blocking the scene. The tight iron barrel array made the entire newspaper complain.

Although the demonstrators did not make any actual moves, the substantial gaze was as chilling as cold violence.

At the beginning, the "National Inquiry" insisted on the dignity of the uncrowned king, and was always unwilling to compromise and raised its proud head high. What's more, just three days later, the crew of "Beautiful Mind" restarted the filming, and the "Los Angeles Times" also issued the crew's official statement, clarifying all previous rumors, saying that the crew has no problems at present and is fully committed to filming. This made the "National Inquiry" even more arrogant: Since Hugo is fine, what are these demonstrators still pursuing? The crew itself did not condemn it, and the bystanders would stay wherever they cooled.

However, the "National Inquiry" did not expect that since the "resistance action" three years ago, the authority of the uncrowned king has been seriously damaged, and people have accumulated a high level of complaints about the news media, and everyone knows how to strongly express their protest demands. Therefore, it is not so easy for the "National Inquiry" to get away with it as before.

The seven consecutive days of protests quickly made the "National Inquiry" miserable. What is even more terrifying than the sit-in demonstration is that the "rejection of the "National Inquiry" campaign was launched across the United States, which quickly dropped from the average level of three million to one.8 million. The decline was very fierce, making the entire newspaper bleak. Even the newspapers that had previously fanned the flames, such as the "New York Post" and "USA Today", were implicated, and sales had declined differently.

The "National Inquiry News" is a supermarket tabloid. They are distributed for free in supermarkets. Most housewives will pass the time when they enter the supermarket. It is precisely because of the huge basic consumer group that the advertising volume of this gossip tabloid remains high, and in many cases its sales are even better than many big newspapers sold across the United States. The "National Inquiry News" does not survive on sales, but on advertising, but the measurement standard of advertising sponsorship is the level of sales.

Due to seven consecutive days of protests, the National Inquiry News faces not only the problem of sales decline, but also the terrifying thing is that the reputation has plummeted.

Originally, as a supermarket gossip tabloid, the "National Inquirer" had no so-called reputation, so even though he lost his head-on confrontation with Hugo in the previous few times, he was even one of the main behind the unjust case of Michael Jackson's village, he still survived tenaciously because people knew that this newspaper was catching up on the wind and shadows, and most of the time they were read as interesting talks to pass the time after dinner.

However, now, the "National Inquirer" is facing allegations such as "fabricating and slandering, slandering, malicious distortion, personal attacks, and disease discrimination". This has deviated from the scope of "gossip and interesting talk" and has risen to the issue of personal rights. Such sensitive topics are something that no organization dares to touch easily.

In an instant, the entertainment effect of the "National Inquiry News" was no longer there. On the contrary, it was also illusioned of infringing on personal rights and interests, making its image that did not exist directly develop towards negative values.

The subsequent butterfly effect was that a large number of advertising sponsors decided to withdraw their sponsorships, which could almost be said to be a way to cut off the "national inquiry newspaper" by cutting off the way for "national inquiry newspapers". This is the fatal blow that made the entire newspaper really miserable.

Seven days after the news "Hugo stays in the magpies' nest?" was published, the National Inquiry News finally couldn't resist the pressure and published clarification news, "The 'Beautiful Mind' was suspended for three days and rebooted", and the "Beautiful Mind" crew was reported from an objective and realistic perspective in the news reports. Most of the content quoted the crew's official statements so that readers could know the truth.

Originally, everyone thought that the protest would come to an end, but it didn't.

On the eighth day, the sit-ins and demonstration team appeared in front of the office building of the National Inquiry News, and the situation became even worse. Not only New York, but also many offices including Seattle, Los Angeles, Houston, and Chicago also gathered a large number of sit-ins and demonstration teams.

These teams were wearing the same white T-shirts, all of which were the same surrounding clothes for the "Storm and Rain" world tour. They hid neatly and quietly in the square in front of the office building. They were orderly and orderly, with great momentum but had no impact on social life. They were obviously carefully planned and arranged.

What's even more exaggerated is that during the peak hours of get off work, there are still many office workers joining the demonstration team, making the entire lineup more grand.

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

Fox TV once again showed the style of the No. 1 news TV station in the United States, and immediately interviewed the demonstrators on the scene to give answers to everyone.

"Our anger has not subsided! We still don't feel the sincerity of the media! When the media fabricated, fabricated, and exaggerated facts for its own interests, not only deceived the public and played the so-called "right to know" in their hands; it also hurts the parties involved. This is an insult to public opinion supervision and freedom of the press, and it also turns the rights of the people into a powerful tool to hurt others. But they think that a "clearing report" can calm our anger? No, this is absolutely impossible! Apologize, we need to make a formal official apology! We need to see the sincerity he shows, we need to see the sincerity expressed by the media! The crown of the uncrowned king is worn by the masses for you, but in the same way, the masses also have the right to pick this crown!"

Joshua Cranston, standing in front of the media, was passionate and passionate, and said neither humble nor arrogantly, strongly and resoundingly, even making the reporters who came to interview speechless for a moment and could not make a direct response at all.

After the "resistance action" three years ago, the news awakening of ordinary people is unstoppable. With the gradual popularity of computer use, the Internet is being improved step by step, and the era of the uncrowned kings is gone forever. It is not until today that the news media have deeply realized this.

Fox TV reported this time at 8 p.m. Primetime News, which further escalated the entire incident.

Faced with such provocation, the "National Inquiry" was still unwilling to compromise. In the media circle, many old pedantic media people stood on the side of the "National Inquiry" and did not maintain the supermarket tabloids, but maintained the dignity of the uncrowned king. They have continued their pride and pride for more than a century and are absolutely not allowed to be defiled by these ordinary people. These support makes the "National Inquiry" more confident, but instead cheer up and are unwilling to compromise.

However, the new generation of media people have vaguely realized that the new era of media has inevitably arrived. The "Electronic Love Letter" starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks last year has proved this. Just like the historical development of the film industry, the historical pace of news cannot be stopped.

The demonstration team became stronger and stronger in the next three days, not only ordinary people, but also people from all walks of life began to join the ranks of support. The first ones were still voices from the film industry. With Hugo's current appeal and good popularity in Hollywood, there are definitely many people who are willing to take advantage of him.

The first person to stand out was Sean Penn. The actor who had always had a bad relationship with the media gave Hugo support without hesitation. Then, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep expressed support. Later, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas also took the initiative to accept media interviews and stood behind Hugo. The most surprising thing is that even James Cameron criticized the media, but considering his bad relationship with the media, it is not surprising.

The incident is escalating little by little, accompanied by Mark Canton's first example, "I think the 'National Inquiry' should apologize." Things have completely lost control. Although Mark did not express any other views, it is just for the "National Inquiry". As the CEO of a large company, their every move must be cautious. It is impossible for them to point the finger at the media ten years later, but it is impossible in 1999. Therefore, Mark's view is already very commendable, which also means that Hollywood's top presence has also joined in occupying, causing the balance of victory to begin to tilt.

The pride of the "Uncrown King" is given by the masses, and the presence of the "Uncrown King" is closely related to Wall Street. When the masses stand opposite to them and when Wall Street also begins to put pressure on them, the "New York Times" is the first to turn against each other, followed by the "Washington Post" and the "Los Angeles Times", then the "Wall Street Journal" and the "San Francisco Chronicle".

The scale of sit-in demonstrations is getting bigger and bigger. By the time the fourteenth day of the demonstration, more than 50 million had entered the demonstration team in New York. On the fifteenth day, the front page headline of the "National Inquirer" expressed compromise in red fonts, saying, "Sorry, I am officially expressing my apology for the previous inappropriate remarks, apologizing to Hugo Lancaster himself and the crew of the "Beautiful Heart" and apologizing to the readers and the masses", which put an end to this huge media war.
