Chapter 644

Happy new year, everyone. I wish you all good luck and a lot of money in the New Year!

is now a key part of Oscar's voting. When he heard Bill Luo Si's words, Murphy could not ignore it. He immediately dropped the topic he had just discussed with Cara FES, and came to the back of his desk. Bill Luo Si Si opened the web page and went to woodlouse, and opened a video on the front page.

The name of the video is "revealing the truth between the famous Hollywood director Murphy Stanton and the drug trafficking gang.".

Murphy just saw his name, and knew that it was rather bad for himself. Maybe it was attracted by his name. The video hits about two hundred thousand times on the oil woodlouse.

After a few seconds, the video starts to play. The background seems to be downtown Los Angeles. Murphy takes a look and recognizes that this is the old-fashioned bar that Ross often goes to.

A reporter from a local TV station appeared in the video. The camera first glanced at her, then turned to the bar sign in the back, and the reporter's voice over sounded at the same time.

"Audiences who have seen the film" Diego Ross "will not be unfamiliar here. This bar is the place where the hero often goes to drink. Why did Murphy Stanton choose this bar to shoot? According to the exact information obtained by our station, Murphy Stanton, as a Hollywood director, often meets with the drug lord Diego Ross in this bar to talk about some very confidential things.... "

This reporter is obviously deliberately leading people to think in the wrong direction.

"Just don't know if what they're talking about is drug-related? It may also be to discuss the source of funding for film production. "

The rumor about this aspect has never been broken. At this time, someone specially mentioned it in front of this bar, whose intention can be imagined.

"We found Montero Rodriguez, who used to work in this bar, who has witnessed Murphy Stanton's secret conversation with drug lord Diego Ross countless times."

The camera pulled back from the bar and turned to the reporter. Just opposite the reporter, there was a middle-aged latino man in his thirties.

The reporter put the receiver in front of him and asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, can you tell me about the meeting you saw between Murphy Stanton and Diego Ross?"

"Diego Ross is a celebrity in our area, and Murphy Stanton is a famous Hollywood director."

The man named Montero Rodriguez was obviously well prepared. "The first time they appeared in the bar, I recognized them. They were very familiar with each other. When they met, they were talking alone at the bar counter. Only the boss could get close to them. We waiters were not allowed to pass by, and some people were guarding there, like Murphy Stanton and Diego- What rose said can't be seen in the light. "

"Do they meet frequently?" The reporter asked again.

"Sometimes once or twice a month." Montero Rodriguez said as he gesticulated, "sometimes I see you every two or three months, sometimes Robert Downey Jr. will come too. They are very confidential. I have never heard what they are talking about."

The reporter took the microphone back. "Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez."

The camera turned to the reporter alone. The reporter stood in front of the bar and said, "according to reliable sources, when Murphy Stanton started, the source of funding for the film was Diego Roth's drug cartel. Some of the funding for the film" Diego Roth "is unknown."

The reporter confidently analyzed, "since entering Hollywood, Murphy Stanton has been famous for shooting commercial films. This time, he suddenly turned to the field of art films and successfully got the investment. It's precisely because he got the support of drug trafficking gangs..."

Seeing this, Murphy shook his head and said to bill rosis with the mouse, "turn it off."

Bill rosis turned off the video, and Carla Firth immediately asked, "is the video on TV?"

"This morning's morning news." Bill rosis said as succinctly as he could, "this local TV station is mainly in New York and Los Angeles."

Murphy could not help shaking his head, "what a clever way."

New York and Los Angeles are the two largest gathering places for members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

"It's not just the TV station..." Bill rosis opened his briefcase, took out a pile of columns of different sizes cut from newspapers, and said, "today, there are similar reports in many newspapers in New York and Los Angeles."

After taking bill rosis's newspaper clippings, Murphy quickly flipped through them, which were all bad news for him.

"The intimate past of Murphy Stanton and the drug lord Diego Ross..."

"Murphy Stanton, a rising director sponsored by drug lords!"

"If Murphy Stanton didn't receive money from the drug cartels for the whole film" Diego Ross ", do you believe it?"

"Don't underestimate the IQ of the public and the Academy Awards judges! Expose Murphy StantonYou don't have to look at the content, just the title, but also know what these reports are about and how sinister their intentions are.

Although there are no big newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, they are all newspapers with a certain circulation in New York and Los Angeles. Murphy is very clear that some people are bound to be affected by this kind of public opinion.

"What about the Internet?" Murphy looked at Bill - Rose, and asked, "besides woodlouse, what about other websites?"

Bill rosis replied, "yes, but less."

Murphy nodded. Although he didn't know who was behind the news, he obviously knew the college very well. Most of the members of the college were older. Even if some people used the Internet, they wouldn't be too many.

Stanton studio and 20th century fox are busy preparing for the press conference of "dark city" these days. They don't pay much attention to the Oscar for the moment. They just chose this opportunity to launch a public opinion war.

Murphy will not underestimate this kind of public opinion battle. Some seemingly insignificant aspects are likely to affect the selection of judges. Ang Lee and Spielberg both fell on it.

Carla Firth could not help sneering and said, "the people who work really pick the time!"

You don't have to look at this kind of thing. You know it's carefully planned by someone behind the scenes.

Murphy asked Bill rosis, "bill, how big is the impact?"

"It's hard to say." Bill - rossis also unable to guarantee that "it is possible to change the choice of some neutral judges."

He said with certainty, "we need a crisis PR, and the sooner the better!"

Crisis public relations is easy to say, but difficult to do. First of all, it should be targeted.

Murphy put the newspaper clippings on Carla Firth's desk, put his hands on his chest for a moment, and said, "do you feel familiar this time?"

Bill rosis frowned and thought.

Carla Firth asked directly, "what's the familiar feeling?"

"The Oscars of the past." Murphy warned, "Spielberg's" Saving Private Ryan "was criticized by British veterans as not in line with reality; Roman Polanski at the critical moment of pianist's impact on the Oscar, tabloids and some local TV stations once again publicized the child rape case of that year, both of which lost the best picture!"

He thought for a moment and then said, "and" beautiful mind "suddenly revealed that John Nash was a transvestite and fag in the award season. When Woody Allen attacked Austria, some people would jump out and talk about him and his current wife Songyi. Martin Scorsese was pointed to the nose by the media and scolded for attacking Austria for the sake of attacking Austria..."

There are so many examples like this, Murphy said seven or eight at a time.

At Murphy's words, Bill rosis nodded. "It's almost the same way we met this time."

Carla Firth captured the main point of Murphy's words, "do you mean these events were launched by the same forces behind us this time?"

"Yes, very likely." Murphy spread out his hand and said, "think about it. Those films are bad luck. Who's the one that benefits? Who is the most likely person to benefit from our failure in the Oscar this time? "

"Weinstein pictures!"

Bill rosis and Carla Firth thought of the same thing.

Murphy nodded. "I think it's probably Harvey Weinstein's work. They might do the same for the Oscars."

"Well..." Bill rosis thought for a moment, and said, "it's very possible."

Although Carla Firth didn't say anything, she also agreed with Murphy's conjecture. The Weinstein brothers' film company has been working out the most fundamental operation strategy around the Oscar. In order to impact the Oscar, even the six major companies dare to black out, let alone Murphy.

"I'll contact the media for some explanation." Bill - rossis immediately thought of countermeasures, "once again pull out the Catholic Church, the attacker..."

He looked at Carla Firth and said nothing more.

Kara Firth pretended not to hear him and said to Murphy, "it's not enough. The artist is our biggest opponent. Even if a small number of neutral votes go to the artist, it will be very bad for us to rush for the prize! We have to fight back! "

Passive defense has never been Murphy's choice, he nodded, "we really need to fight back."

As he spoke, Murphy walked back and forth a few steps, worried, and said, "how many people and companies have the Weinstein brothers hacked in the past in order to attack the Oscars? I'm afraid there have been too many times since the mid-1990s? "

"Good idea!" Carla Firth immediately understood Murphy's meaning, "a lot of people in the circle are tired of the Weinstein brothers' style in the Oscar, especially his victims, are very dissatisfied with the Weinstein brothers!"

"No one has ever contacted the power of these people in the past." Murphy looked at Bill rosis. "Time is limited. We need to move as soon as possible."
