Chapter 215 Don't forget to do publicity on honeymoon
At this time, Jed finally understood the price that a celebrity needs to pay. Before, he always felt that it was a bit too pretentious for a celebrity to embrace him. He didn't know it was necessary until he became a celebrity.Bodyguards and personal assistants are necessary. In addition, Jed and John are in the limelight of the media at this time, and there are important lawsuits on their hands, so it is necessary to arrange publicity personnel and lawyers to follow.Don't underestimate these public relations personnel, they help Jed and John filter a lot of media every day, what is the media's attitude towards Jed and John?If you encounter negative news, do you want to respond?How to respond?How strong is the response?Jed's public relations team is responsible for these things. At this time, the person in charge of Jed and John's public relations team is Claudia, a Hispanic beauty who graduated from the School of Public Communication at the University of California, Berkeley. Member of the presidential campaign.
"Mr. Sherman, we will arrange an interview with "Beautiful Home" magazine on your 'Bi Hai Bai Yu' villa." Claudia said holding a document, "These are some of the questions their reporters will ask. Cooperate with Mr. Colombo."
"Home Better?" Jed paused. "That magazine that housewives would love, about how to furnish your home? Ms. Claudia, I think I should take Time or Newsweek Or at least it should be a professional publication such as "Vanity Fair" or "TV Guide"? Even "Fortune" is more reliable."
"Mr. Sherman, the information I gave you introduced "Good Homes." Claudia said coldly, ""Good Homes" is the fourth best-selling magazine in the United States, and it is also the magazine of choice for housewives. This The magazine mainly introduces home furnishing, cooking, gardening, healthy living, etc., and has a great influence in traditional American families. Mr. Sherman, this is a publication that can influence American conservative families, comparable to "Fortune" , "Time" and other elite magazines have a lot of influence."
Jed himself works in the media, and he quickly understood Claudia's propaganda methods.Because of the suppression of conservative forces, the lawsuit of Jed and John has not been supported by the American people.The United States pursues an elite education policy, so most Americans believe in the words of opinion leaders and media experts.You must know that the American people are not as harsh as they imagined on homosexuality. The attitude of many people is "I will not offend others if they don't offend me."
A TV station once went to Texas, which is known as the most traditional and conservative state in the United States, to conduct a survey and asked the hotel receptionist to deliberately bully a same-sex couple. As a result, countless Texas men stood up for the gay couple, thinking that it is okay for you not to like or accept gays Yes, but you shouldn't disrespect them professionally in public.Moreover, according to the survey and comparison of TV stations, there are many more people in Texas who are willing to stand up for the injustice encountered by gays than those in traditional "free states" such as New York State.Therefore, in fact, the American people are kind, but their public opinion has been manipulated by some opinion leaders.
Since political publications are unwilling to give Jed a voice, some other magazines are still okay, especially magazines like "Good Homeland". The main subscribers of "A Better Home" are American housewives, and they are actually a group of people who can easily influence public opinion.According to Claudia's request, "Home Better" must introduce who owns the house like interviewing other celebrity families, and must also arrange for Jed and John to appear on the scene, and at least one published photo is a photo of John and Jed .Claudia also wants to show the real ecology of ordinary gay families to the American people. Not all gays are bear children who have not passed the second period of middle school, not all gays are non-mainstream goths killing Matt...and all Like all love, homosexuality is just one of them, neither special nor special.
"I can cooperate with their interview needs, including some details of this house." Jed nodded in agreement with Claudia's strategy.
"A Beautiful Home" is interested in Jade Villa because this house is known as the most environmentally friendly villa in the world. All electricity and water resources are recycled, and this house is full of tropical style, which is suitable for most land in temperate and subtropical It is still very attractive to the American public.In particular, Jed specially bred some very special plants for this villa. In this era when genetic technology was not yet popular, the special plants bred by Jed surprised many gardeners.Jed is also more than happy to promote his genes and genetic technology through "Good Homes", after all, he is also involved in this industry to make money.
"But I have a question, Claudia, you are too demanding of them. What if they don't want to offend conservative forces and give up this interview?"
"Without Better Homes, we have alternate magazines of Family Life and Home Design," Claudia said nonchalantly.
In Claudia's view, the design style and concept of Jade's villa are leading in any country, and at the same time mysterious.If Jade and the others hadn't asked for "A Beautiful Homeland" now, otherwise Claudia's conditions would have been even harsher.At that time, what Claudia wanted was not just a special report, but at least a cover story!And you can't report those genetic plants full of scientific and technological concepts for free, you have to pay for the report!
But now it was Jed and John who asked for help, so Claudia agreed to report on the feature, and then reimbursed the travel expenses of the writers and photographers."Beautiful Homeland" is naturally very happy about Claudia's conditions, and the two reporters who were selected to report are even more delighted.Just imagine what it would be like to experience a Dubai resort before anyone else!
Although the Dubai resort has not officially opened yet, under the hype of Starwood, almost all the rich and middle class in the United States know this brand new resort.It's a pity that only two magazines, "Global Travel" and "Walker", which have a good relationship with Starwood, have obtained permission to report. Therefore, the sales growth rate of these two magazines has made "Homeland" which ranks fourth in the United States coveted.
Although the reporter of "Beautiful Homeland" asked not to shoot the real scene of the resort, it is always okay to occasionally take pictures of the scenery near the blue sea and white jade, right?Moreover, the American company responsible for the design and construction of Bihaibaiyu has revealed several times that this is a mansion full of technological concepts and environmental protection concepts. Although the construction cost is high, this villa is extremely friendly to the environment.So to be able to report on such a villa, both reporters felt that there must be their own opportunities for promotion and salary increase at the end of the year.
A few weeks later, Hollywood also ushered in the Oscars.Just before the Oscars, the latest issue of Better Homes comes out.To everyone's surprise, "Home Sweet Home" actually chose a photo of Jed and John as the cover.The two were sitting on the white sand beach, not far away was the blue sea and blue sky, and behind them was their villa with blue sea and white jade.Surrounding them are all kinds of tropical flowers, and on the picnic blanket in front of them are all kinds of tropical fruits. The Hawaiian shirts of the same style are very cool, and they are also envied by the American people who are still in the cold spring. endlessly.
Although "Beautiful Homeland" does not use words like spouse to refer to Jed and John, words like couple and partner have already stimulated some people's nerves.As a result, some bricks and beasts denounced "A Beautiful Homeland" in their columns, but more housewives said that they were not offended by this issue of the magazine.Mrs Thomson, who lives in Clostian, Corpus, said: "I just think Mr Sherman's house has all kinds of tropical things to look forward to, and I'm glad they don't care about the environment even though they're expensive. Poses a hazard. As for their relationship, to be honest, I don’t care. I bless the two of them to be together, as for their gender, is that a problem? God bless everyone who truly loves each other!”
Since there is the first Mrs. Thomson, there will be a second and third Mrs. Jackson, because the report of "Good Home" has made many housewives of traditional families accept the love between Jed and John.Many housewives feel that it is not easy for two people to be together, not to mention whether these two people have harmed other people, why does the law have to separate them?After some bored housewives posted such questions on their own blogs, it was the first time that the American media really examined the significance of their blogs.
A blog is not just a tool for entertainment, but also a platform for expressing opinions.As housewives voiced their views through blogs that usually share recipes and gardening experiences, America's opinion leaders panicked, realizing that they might no longer be able to lead public opinion.But this effect is what Jed needs, and Jed is opening up a real web2.0 website-social networking sites and fragmented sites.
Jed has secretly tested Facebook at Harvard University and Stanford University. This version of Facebook not only inherits all the advantages of American Facebook, but also combines the popular Korean Cyworld and the popular Chinese Qzone.It's just that the current network technology can't present it so gorgeously, so the interface can only be reserved temporarily.
Judging from the current test results, American college students are obviously very satisfied with the α version of FACEBOOK, so the company is making every effort to develop the β version. The alpha version is only tested at Stanford University and Harvard University respectively, and the future beta version will involve all universities in the United States and open up data interaction, and the final gamma version will be open to ordinary Americans.
In addition to the social networking site FACEBOOK, the text fragmentation site Twitter has also become popular among some white-collar workers in the United States, but it has not yet been opened for testing.The important thing is that Jed still has two big killers, YouTube and Pi, in his hands and did not throw them out. Only the engineers in the laboratory have seen the prototype so far.
The day after the Oscars ceremony ended, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to face a super embarrassing problem. For the first time, the ratings of the live broadcast of the Oscars ceremony were defeated by the same time program.The program that defeated the Oscars was "American Idol" produced by Jed, whom Oscar has been suppressing, which made the Oscar organizing committee feel embarrassed.
After learning the news that "American Idol" had defeated the Oscars, the Fox Network specially distributed a red envelope to the production team of "American Idol".And Jed, who was on vacation in Dubai, also updated an article on his blog after learning the news. The above sentence made Oscar feel very uncomfortable.
"We finally know who's walking down Hollywood Boulevard in the King's New Clothes."
