Chapter 292 National Enquirer
(Today's second update, please give me monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!)
It is very difficult to hate someone to this extent. Robin hung up the phone very satisfied. He turned off the Amazon comments full of bad reviews, and then waited for his agent Jason to send an email.
Since Lin Han is half a working person, they can easily find out some of Lin Han’s life stories by entrusting private detectives. For writers, private life leaks are not interesting, not to mention that Lin Han’s private life is good and has stable relationships.
The most direct way to attack a writer is to start with his works, which is their tool for eating.
For those tabloid reporters, there is nothing more wonderful in the world than having money to report on, so with the help of Jason, Robin spent his money to pull Lin Han down from the altar and ruin his reputation.
You can make money again when you lose money, so you must let out this anger.
The more professional book reviews outside praise Lin Han and praise "The Three-Body Problem", the more angry Robin is. In his opinion, these are all things Lin Han snatched away from their white writers and must drive Lin Han out of the North American market!
The National Inquiry, this magazine that specializes in reporting on celebrity privacy is the most popular and most widely circulated insider magazine in the country. It has stood in the United States for decades without falling. Although it has been warned by celebrities from all walks of life and sued, it still remains unchanged. Each issue sells 5 million copies.
The sensational title of the private lives of famous movie stars greatly stimulates readers' curiosity. He once made a private video of MJ in the Dream Manor, and also published photos of Whitney Houston, the queen of the music scene lying in the coffin, and used everything.
Whether it is real or false, as long as the celebrities they target, there is almost no one who can easily pass the test. Under the banner of freedom of the press, they actually forge the source of stories to avoid sanctions of slandering the law.
Lin Han, the most popular foreign writer nowadays?
The National Inquirer was worried that he could not find any sensational news. He was originally planning to fabricate the news of Tom Cruise's new love, but now it seems that there is a better approach.
But these gossip reporters are all unconventional. Even if the plan is accepted by the editor-in-chief, they still find ways to get more from the suckers who provide clues and money.
Reporter Justin Harris called the other party: "Hi, Jason, this is Justin. I'm sorry to inform you that the news about Lin Han is not that attractive. You know, he is just a foreign writer and everyone's attention is not high."
"Are you serious? He is the most popular science fiction writer at the moment. If you report this scoop, there will definitely be science fiction readers to buy it! Believe me, this is definitely correct."
"I believe you are useless. Our editorial department did not adopt it. You know, I need more..."
Jason cursed in his heart, and then replied, "You are such a vampire. How much more do you need? Is 50,000 dollars enough?"
Justin Harris was very happy, "I'm afraid not. I have many people here to manage. You know, this is a newspaper with a huge circulation, and the review is very strict."
"100,000 US dollars is my limit. If you refuse to post it, then I will go to other newspapers, and they should be more interested."
"The deal is guaranteed to allow you to see the reports tomorrow."
"It's better."
After Justin hung up the phone, he laughed excitedly. He could get $150,000 without doing anything. Please come with such a fool every day, and the extra money is making too good.
In a blink of an eye, Jason called Robin again and added the reporter's offer to $200,000, which was very skillful.
Sure enough, Robin, who was furious, almost roared. This was a bottomless pit. He had spent nearly $250,000, and now he still had 200,000. "Jason, do they really say that?"
"Of course, you have to know that the National Inquiry News dares to fabricate the news that Aoguanhai has cheated. No matter how popular Lin Han's novels are, they are just strangers to ordinary Americans and do not have the conditions to report. It is necessary to manage these things. If not, let's go to other newspapers. Anyway, there are many tabloids to choose from." Jason said this on purpose, and he knew Robin's temper very well.
"No, the National Inquiry Newspaper has the greatest influence. 200,000 is 200,000. I'll transfer the money to you immediately. Be more alert when doing things, don't let me be found out." Robin gritted his teeth. Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of dollars? You can earn it back by signing a few more books.
Jason just passed a message in the middle and made a net profit of 100,000 US dollars. He wished Robin had been quarrel with Lin Han all the time. Such money would be much more comfortable to make, and he didn't have to file taxes.
In fact, except for Robin, the mad dog, everyone was almost happy. The reporters and the agent made money, and the newspapers also got news.
There are a bunch of so-called supermarket gossip tabloids in the United States. This batch of newspapers and magazines sold mainly in supermarkets have a small layout and are easy to write and can be thrown away after reading it, but the price is not cheap.
These gossip tabloids often publish some messy junk news and rumors. The National Inquiry News is the leader among them. From presidential politicians to entertainment stars, there is no news that they dare not arrange.
...
The next morning, Robin drove from home in high spirits. He rarely visited the supermarket and forced himself to go to the supermarket and bought the National Inquiry Newspaper on the first trip. He wanted to see how the results he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han was exposed to be a ghostwriter, and the sales volume was rumored to be faked!"
This is just a title on the homepage of the newspaper. The cover picture is a photo of a pair of golden boys and jade girls breaking up in Hollywood. It would be great to have a title in the newspaper.
Robin was quite satisfied with the person who took his money, and he didn't even bother to go home. He found a seat in the garden next to the supermarket and began to read it seriously.
"Lin Han, the best-selling science fiction writer in China overseas, graduated from the China Drama Academy. He took the so-called art student route in the college entrance examination and did not have outstanding talents in science, physics, chemistry, and biology.
However, his science fiction novels are mainly hard science fiction. There are many scientific elements in novels such as "I, Robot", "Martian Rescue", "Jurassic Park", "Three-Body Problem", and there are many kinds of scientific elements, which are suspected of being ghostwriters.
The most important thing is that according to insiders, Lin Han was suspected of fraud in sales and had purchased novels himself many times just to win the sales championship!
Some of the evidence of Lin Han’s sales fraud obtained by our reporter has repurchased his books many times at a lower price than the market price. Each book contains, and all-round sales fraud!
Consumers will never know how such a bestseller was run, we were all cheated!”
This report is also particularly thoughtful with the covers and sales data of Lin Han’s previous novels, and a watermark of liar (liar) was posted on Lin Han’s photos.
Robin was very excited to fold this page. It seemed that the money was worth spending, so it depends on how the other media reacted next.
A single tree cannot make a forest. A newspaper alone is not enough to cause a sensation. Robin is very sinisterly waiting for all the media to attack Lin Han!
However, an hour passed, there was almost no discussion on this news on Twitter and Facebook, and there was no movement from the mainstream media, as if it turned a blind eye to it, and nothing happened at all.
Two hours later, only a few readers commented on this news. Everyone knows what the virtue of the National Inquiry Newspaper is, and almost no one believes it.
What's more, this kind of newspaper readers who spread rumors and make trouble are middle-aged women who love gossip and blind people, which has almost no intersection with Lin Han's readers.
"impossible!"
Robin didn't understand why, the mainstream media, the boring morals, why no one cared about such a big scandal!
I spent so much money in, but the water didn't splash a little.
...
"Dear, a staff member just said that there was a report from the foreign media that you wrote and sold for fake sales. Recently, there have been a lot of bad reviews on Amazon. I guess someone has taken action."
Chen Jiaxuan's studio specializes in people being responsible for public opinion. They quickly reported the situation and waited for a solution.
Lin Han frowned and asked in confusion: "Why are foreign media so idle that they have nothing to do to report these? Are there any reports you believe in to send me a copy of them?"
It's not the turn of foreign media to question this. Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan were confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.
Although domestic marketing accounts have followed Lin Han's novels, they are not slow to report these plausible negative news, even much faster than those media.
"Shocking! Foreign media exposed that Lin Han's sales were fake, and there is evidence that Lin Han beats the rankings!"
"The scandal was exposed, Lin Han was suspected of fraud in sales, and foreign media revealed the truth"
"I was shocked at that time. Is the science fiction master actually artificial?"
"Lin Han who you don't know deceives the public's lies!"
"Foreign media questioned Lin Han's pen and rankings, and abroad is already in full swing."
"The famous North American newspaper, National Inquiry, recently revealed the inside story of Lin Han's rankings, and each book is on the list by human operation."
Many news broke out all of a sudden, and it seemed that seeing these scandals was the thing that keyboard warriors on the Internet were most happy. Before the situation was clear, many people began to take the blame.
Chapter completed!
