The presidential envoy of the White House, here again.
Obviously, the specifications this time are much higher than the last time.
Last time, President George W. Bush sent a nephew named Zachary over here. His level... was really not very good, and he was coaxed around by Dunn.
This time is different.
Two envoys are here!
In addition to Zachley, who I saw last time, there is also a staff member named Rick Greenson, who is in his fifties, with a red face and a thick neck, and has the characteristics of a typical Texan.
Unlike Zackley, Rick Greenson is a real special envoy. He is a mid-level adviser to President Bush's staff, and he also has the official title of "deputy assistant to the president", which is equivalent to a deputy ministerial-level official.
He was originally planning a campaign strategy for the entire West Coast for President George W. Bush, wandering among the government officials in various states, taking both sides and holding important positions.
However, after hearing what Zachary said, he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately put down his work and came to visit Dunn in person!
There is no doubt that this time the conversation will not be the same as the last time, because of the **** of Ted Turner.
"Mr. Consultant, I don't know if you come here this time, what advice do you have?"
Tang En warmly invited the two envoys into the parlour and asked them knowingly.
Rick Greenson is obviously much more experienced than Zachley. His identity represents the White House and the president.
"The recent Woody Allen incident has caused a lot of uproar, which has had a negative impact on the country's public opinion environment. I'm very curious about this matter. Did that incident... happened in the past?"
With Woody Allen as an introduction, it's a good starting point.
Tang En smiled and said categorically, "Of course not!"
Rick Greenson glanced at him, "But I heard...they have a videotape in their hands that was taken when the girl was abused."
"The videotape?" Dunn snorted, "To be honest, I haven't seen the videotape, but many professionals have seen it and provided feedback. The videotape has undergone complex post-processing and many It has been edited and synthesized dozens of times. Mr. Consultant, you must be aware of my professionalism. The falsification of videotapes... can't deceive professionals. "
Rick Greenson's eyes narrowed, "So...the New York Times report is unreliable?"
Dunn almost laughed.
Is it necessary to be so cautious?
It's not too tiring to be sidelined.
But he also knew that Rick Greenson was a White House aide with an official title, representing the president in every word and deed.
In an election year, be careful, be careful, be careful!
It's impossible to come like Zachley opens his mouth.
Dunn can figure this out, and naturally he will cooperate, and said with a smile: "The New York Times' distorted reports are not once or twice. Recently, the "New York Times" also had a trouble with Disney."
Rick Greenson's eyes brightened, but he pretended to be surprised, "What else?"
Dunn sighed and said: "Yeah, Disney and New Universal hate the fake news of The New York Times. We are working together to pressure, but behind the New York Times, there seems to be a stronger The forces of China are pushing the news, and there is nothing we can do about it.”
What power?
Democrats!
The spear is directed at "Fahrenheit 911"!
That's the key to Rick Greenson's arrival today!
Rick Greenson's face sank, and he said righteously: "No organization or force can interfere with press freedom, let alone fake news!"
"Mr. Consultant, you are so right!" Tang En immediately agreed, and then the conversation changed, "But... the media can't use the power of public opinion to interfere in the internal affairs of other companies, right?"
Rick Greenson pretended to be shocked: "And this?"
Dunn was a little irritable about this way of talking, and said bluntly: "'Fahrenheit 911' is a Miramax movie, and Miramax is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. Whether this movie is released or not is Disney's power. , other institutions, forces, have no right to interfere!"
Rick Greenson frowned and glanced at Zachary next to him.
He took out a small machine the size of a mobile phone from his briefcase and placed it between Dunn and Rick Greenson.
Tang En's face changed suddenly, a little annoyed.
This is a small signal jammer!
Who is this guarding against?
Depend on!
You came to beg me, not I begged you!
Rick Greenson quickly reassured and said gently: "Dawn, you have to understand the difficulty of our work. Especially when the general election is approaching, we must be foolproof."
The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, he snorted coldly, and said indifferently, "Is this related to me?"
Rick Greenson smiled mysteriously, "There's always something to do with you."
"Oh?"
"Woody Allen's incident is too much trouble. But the official has not made a statement. Back then, Woody Allen's sexual assault case was investigated, and the result was nothing. There is no real evidence, Mia Law. Luo's allegations are not substantiated."
Dunn nodded.
In the case of Woody Allen, through the joint promotion of New Universal and Disney, the Farrow mother and daughter have stepped down from the moral commanding heights. More and more people began to support Woody Allen, the big Hollywood director.
However, there is still a lack of a definitive terminator.
If the official, procuratorate or court can publish the results of the investigation that year and clarify that Woody Allen is innocent, then this dispute will be over!
The New Global Feminist Association, once again defends justice!
The conspiracy of those behind Farrow's mother and daughter will also fall apart.
This is a good quid pro quo for Dunn.
Of course, this is not enough.
Rick Greenson leaned down, next to the signal jammer, his voice extremely low, ""Fahrenheit 911" must not be released, it will be very bad for Mr. President!"
Tang En shook his head again and again and sneered: "It's too late!"
"late?"
"Unfortunately, I just got news from Disney yesterday that Harvey Weinstein bought the global distribution rights of "Fahrenheit 911" in his own name."
Rick Greenson's face changed suddenly.
Zachley, who was beside him, also changed his face and said anxiously, "Mr. Walker, can you stop it?"
Dunn shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. If it's just Harvey Weinstein, with the strength of New Universal and Disney, he can naturally suppress it. But as you have seen, he can even collude with the "New York Times" and dare to What does he rely on for publicly tearing his face with Disney?"
The faces of Rick Greenson and Zachley are very ugly.
In the past U.S. elections, there was no shortage of smearing and slandering of each other between the two parties.
However, the influence of the film is too great.
Once this unfavorable film is released, it may really affect President Bush's re-election!
This is not over, Dunn continued: "As far as I know, Harvey Weinstein has determined to make things bigger. "Fahrenheit 911" has been sent to the Cannes Film Festival and is on the screening list..."
"Isn't that a documentary?" Zachley looked incredulous.
Dunn sneered: "What about documentaries? I'm not afraid to tell you that in the independent film industry, even I can't compare to Harvey Weinstein. Especially the major film festivals around the world, which are his home grounds! "
Of course this is not realistic enough.
Dunn's status and influence have long surpassed the film industry.
And Harvey Weinstein is just the **** of the independent film industry, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
But let's negotiate.
Only by creating the greatest panic for the other party can we obtain greater benefits.
Rick Greenson stared deeply at Dunn, "You have a solution, right?"
Dunn sighed, "It's too late, the release of "Fahrenheit 911" is inevitable. My hand can't reach Europe."
Rick Greenson naturally didn't believe it.
It is normal to say that Dunn cannot influence the selection results of the Oscars. To say he can't influence a European film festival that's already in decline...that's bullshit.
Since the beginning of the industrialization of Hollywood movies, the era of European movies and Hollywood running side by side is gone forever.
Not to mention Europe, filmmakers all over the world are kneeling to Hollywood.
Tang En said that even if "Fahrenheit 911" has been confirmed to be screened, the Cannes Organizing Committee will give him face and forcibly file it.
"I heard...you're not in a good relationship with Harvey Weinstein?"
"I can't be friends with everyone Rick Greenson frowned, "You never thought about hitting him? "
Tang En's face was calm and his heart was cold.
hum!
Of course I did!
Not only do you have to do it, but you also have to do it directly!
Kick him out completely!
However, there is no rush to make a statement right now.
Rick Greenson continued: "We will deal with the forces behind him, including the push behind the New York Times. There are less gray factors, I believe Harvey Weinstein and The New York Times will not be New Universal and Disney's rival."
Tang En smiled, "Mr. Consultant, aren't you bullying my youth?"
Rick Greenson said sternly: "This is my guarantee!"
"It doesn't make sense to me." Dunn shook his head disapprovingly.
Rick Greenson lowered his voice to a very low level and whispered in his ear, "You haven't found out the driver behind Woody Allen, have you?"
"Um?"
Dunn's eyes lit up.
"This kind of thing, even if you find a private detective, you won't be able to find out. That stupid woman, I'm afraid it's just money. This requires a more elite investigation team and greater investigation authority." Rick Greenson remained calm. said.
Dunn smiled slightly, "Mr. Consultant, your means are really powerful. Forget it, Harvey Weinstein... I'll settle it for you! However, I really can't do anything about "Fahrenheit 911"."
"Really can not?"
"At least overseas distribution, I can't control it."
Rick Greenson pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay, let's make sure that North America is banned! At least, we'll talk about it after the presidential election."
"As long as the Democrats don't reach out, it's a trivial matter."
"Don't worry, let's talk over there!"
Rick Greenson raised his tune with a big wave of his hand.
