Chapter 157

Because of different positions and information, everyone may have different understanding of the same thing.

Take, for example, the sci-fi and funny work "abnormal creatures" which is being serialized on the website.

Wang Jian saw ABC, one of the three major wireless TV networks, hoping to save his declining ratings through this work.

If you think about it further, he just thinks that the other party wants to make a masterpiece and get the same advertising revenue as CBS.

But for many executives in charge of ABC, this is a desperate move after careful screening and careful thinking.

Because, ABC was a bigger media giant, Disney from Hollywood to target.

Bill Clinton has just signed the telecommunication act.

In the field of wireless TV media, it has officially entered the era of big fish eating small fish.

As the "great white shark" of the media, Disney naturally disdains to devour only some small TV networks.

As a result, the ratings of TV series began to collapse, and ABC, which greatly reduced investors' confidence, naturally entered their field of vision.

Although Disney's offer can be described as astonishing.

But that's only for ABC's shareholders.

What executives see is the strength of Disney emperor Michael Eisner.

In every company acquired by Disney, he would not hesitate to replace the former executives.

In order to enhance the confidence of investors and save their career, ABC executives began to frantically look for the best works in line with the current trend.

As a result...

Disney and its allies have the right to adapt these works.

At this time, a young man put forward the book of unusual creatures.

After reading, they were surprised to find that this is the kind of science fiction and comedy they want.

As for the high production cost of the grand scene, they don't care.

Because if you succeed, you will recover the cost.

If it fails, Disney will be left with the mess.

At a time when the executives were reported by James and the young best-selling writer was still hesitating.

These red eyed bigwigs began to use their own contacts to put pressure on each other through the media.

So early the next morning, in flushing, New York.

Sitting in his office, Wang Jian was surprised to find that he was on the front page of the entertainment page.

He took some newspapers and flipped back and forth.

"No mistake! "The news of unusual creatures" actually suppressed Madonna's affair

This situation...

is not quite right!

Wang Jian thought about it and contacted Tom on the inside line.

"Did you read today's newspaper?"

"Well, take a look first. Then contact friends from publishing houses and newspapers to find out what's inside

When he hung up, Wang Jian picked up some newspapers and began to read them carefully.

In authoritative newspapers such as the New York Times and the wall street post, journalists use a lot of neutral words.

They use a variety of literary terms, seemingly objective evaluation of the "abnormal creatures" and the classic science fiction "guide to the galaxy".

In some tabloids, the reports are full of praise.

There are even reporters who claim that the book is the best tribute to the guide to the galaxy!

Of course, there are also some newspapers that implicitly accuse abnormal of plagiarizing galaxy.

Among them, the most excessive one is the Los Angeles post, which only reported black and white people during the Los Angeles riots, and did not mention the yellow people's sufferings.

"Come on, we've seen the guide to the Galaxy! With the help of the Internet, Fu Manchu wanted to plagiarize classics and become Jules Verne

"Fu Manchu?" Wang Jian took the hand of the newspaper and burst up a little blue.

This should be the most serious racial discrimination he has ever suffered.

Wang Jian faxed the Los Angeles post directly to Matthew, and wrote at the bottom of the fax: "sue them!"

Soon, Matthew's call came back, "Wang, what's your final appeal?"

"The Los Angeles post is closed!" Wang Jian's eyes were a little red.

Matthew pondered over the phone for a moment. "It's hard. The Los Angeles post has been sued many times for discrimination."

"The most we can do is make them apologize publicly, plus some compensation." Matthew is a bit hard to say, "in terms of the atmosphere in Los Angeles, a lot of people will think we make a fuss."

"After the other party's compensation, maybe the reporter concerned will get a large donation."

When Wang Jian thought about the "nerd, squinting" image of Chinese Americans in Hollywood, he was also impatient.This is known as the most inclusive city of angels?

"In any case, send a lawyer's letter to the other party first!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianqiang forced himself to calm down.

It is obviously abnormal to report on a large scale the records of abnormal organisms.

So what are the stakeholders behind this?

Goldman Sachs is actively preparing for the listing of its website.

They are happy to see the website on the newspaper, but those news, can never appear a little bit negative.

Others such as apple, Nokia, HBO and so on have no motivation to focus on "abnormal".

So...

Uncle Sam is good at the routine of "stick and carrot", and the directivity is very obvious.

To tell you the truth, after a night's thinking, Wang Jian had planned to license the production of the TV series "abnormal creatures" to ABC.

Because as Lehmann said: "in the capital market, the overvalued value of enterprises is the biggest good news."

"It's much easier to make money in the capital market than anywhere else."

But now, we have to talk about it.

Wang Jian thought for a moment, and then dialed ABC James.

"Is this ABC's attitude towards partners?"

At the same time, in the editorial department of the Los Angeles post.

The editor in chief patted a young asian on the shoulder, "David, your contribution is very good. Keep working hard!"

"Thank you, chief editor."

When the young Asian left the editor's office humming a song.

A colleague asked quietly, "Wu, the editor in chief only asked us to attack the book of unusual creatures. How can you still write" Fu Manchu "

"Aren't you afraid that best seller will sue you directly?"

"Call me David." Asian Americans corrected: "I know Chinese Americans. It's definitely safer to attack them than to attack African Americans."

"Most Chinese Americans are self-contained and don't bother to ask for trouble."

"Besides," he shrugged, "it's discrimination for other ethnic groups to write" Fu Manchu. "

"I'm Chinese. How can I call it discrimination when I write" Fu Manchu "? Have you ever seen a black man accused of discrimination for calling someone "Niger"

"Even if I'm on TV, I'll call that best-selling writer Fu Manchu!"
