Chapter 1172

Edward bravely flew all the way, from another point of view, perfectly interpreting the old Chinese saying: closer to the countryside, more timid.

Have to be timid!

He was afraid that he would screw up the movie and his career because of this major mistake.

To be fair, Edward thought that one percent of the leakage of the script came from the insiders. Whether it could be found out or not, it was due to his poor management.

140 million dollars of investment to their own hands, playing to leak out all the investment plans, who dares to invest money to make their own films in the future?

If Warner kills himself in a rage, I'm afraid that no one in Hollywood will pull himself

When the plane landed in Los Angeles, Edward really wanted to cry in his desk and chair. He was anxious, painful, frightened and worried All kinds of negative emotions are lingering in Edward's mind, which makes him feel like he is being pressed on his chest by a huge stone, and even breathing is difficult.

After getting off the plane, he took a taxi to the company in a hurry. In the taxi, he saw today's newspaper. In addition to the huge headline of "the last samurai" script leakage, the whole front page left a huge picture. This picture was synthesized by the media itself, with Tom Cruise, Watanabe and other actors, looking fierce.

This discovery made Edward even more broken, for fear that Mayer would fight with himself.

When he arrived at the company, Edward received the comforting eyes of all his colleagues. A PR manager familiar with him told him: "Edward, the boss will hold a press conference tomorrow, you must cheer up!"

Edward is going crazy.

Press conference, do you want to let yourself out so soon?

He walked all the way to the door of Mayer's office.

When the Secretary saw him, he smiled and said, "Edward, you are back at last!"

Edward can't help being annoyed. Damn it, I've done a lot of work. Are you laughing? Gloating, isn't it?

The upset Edward asked him angrily, "is the boss there? I want to see him. "

The Secretary said with a smile, "Mr. Meyer is not here, but when he leaves in the morning, let me tell you that you don't have to worry. Take a good rest first, and he will interview you in the evening."

Edward stupefied, subconsciously asked: "what do you say? Mr Meyer told me not to worry? "

"Yes." The secretary explained: "Mr. Meyer was very happy when he left. It seems that this matter didn't cause him too much trouble, so he deliberately asked me to let me tell you those words."

The confused Edward didn't dare to relax his vigilance immediately. He just went back to his home in Los Angeles and waited for Mayer's call.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Mayer called. After asking about Edward's arrival in Los Angeles, he immediately invited him to his home to talk about tomorrow's conference.

Edward hurried to meet Mayer, who was as nervous as a three-year-old.

Unexpectedly, Mayer warmly invited him to sit down on the sofa in the reception hall, offered himself a cigar, and said with a smile, "Edward, you are blessed with misfortune this time! Now the leakage of the script has become a hot spot, even YY has reported, and the exposure of the film has reached its peak at once. The Japanese management is very satisfied with this! "

Edward asked incredulously, "Mr. Meyer, why are Japanese managers satisfied with this?"

Meyer laughs: "what they care about is the exposure and influence. The box office is not so important. Now the movie hasn't been finished, and the fame is already so big. Of course, they are very satisfied."

With that, Mayer patted Edward on the shoulder and said with a smile, "you must be very nervous when you come back?"

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, as if the stone in his heart had been removed in an instant, and tears of excitement were coming out, but he still said with lingering fear: "Mr. Meyer, only God knows how hard it is for me to come back!"! God bless me, otherwise, I don't know how to deal with you and the management... "

Meyer laughs and comforts: "your luck is so good. If this event continues to develop like this, this movie will probably become the hottest topic of the year. Once the movie is released in the future, it will cause a huge sensation!"

Edward nodded again and again, promising, "don't worry, Mr. Meyer, I will try my best to make this movie!"

Meyer nodded and smiled, "I believe in your strength!"

With that, Meyer added, "let's have a good look at tomorrow's press conference. If you do a good job, you can go back and continue shooting."

……

The press conference held by Warner attracted almost the mainstream media in the United States.

Yesterday's push of YY made the script leak a super hot spot that the whole North America is paying attention to. Naturally, these media will not miss the opportunity to track and report on this super hot spot.

In fact, as long as we pay a little attention to the news industry, we will find that the industry is very similar to the people's money making. The poorer the people are, the slower the speed of making money is. There is no chance, even if there is one, it is difficult to grasp it. The richer the people are, the faster the speed of making money is. Some opportunities will even come to you, so the poorer the people are, the more they will be The poorer, the richer, the richer.Journalism as like as two peas turn a deaf ear to news, but all media are deaf to it, but some news is just a little bit more and more prosperous, and countless people spontaneously come in to add firewood.

The story of the last samurai script is like the latter, because Tom Cruise is a big star, so it can be very popular in a very short time, and countless media have come in to help.

At the press conference, Meyer and Edward faced numerous media's long guns and short guns. They were so excited that they could not laugh. However, they were still struggling with the excitement of their hearts. Their faces were full of anger and admitted the authenticity of the leaked content in front of the media, while strongly denouncing the shameless behavior of the leaker.

As CEO, Mayer said angrily in front of the media: "the last samurai script was leaked, which is the most disgusting dirty incident in Hollywood in recent years. Although we don't know who leaked the absolutely confidential script, we can be sure that the other side did this to interfere with the filming of the film. He must want to let We are in a mess, we want to change the script temporarily or stop shooting indefinitely. "

At this point, Mayer said impassioned, "but I would like to make a solemn commitment to all the media and audiences at this conference today: Although the script of" the last samurai "has been leaked, please believe that Warner will abandon all interference, continue to support Edward and the whole crew's work, and make sure that the film is in line with the plan Shoot complete! "

After saying this, Mayerton reached out his right index finger to the sky and said, "at the same time, I want to tell the shameless leaker: do you think you can make Warner yield? you must be dreaming! I tell you! Warner will never change the script temporarily, never stop shooting, never bow to you! At the same time, Warner will definitely trace the leak to the end, dig you out and make you pay for it! "

Mayer's performance at the conference, in the eyes of the Americans, is really "have balls". To put it in a popular way, that attitude has won him a lot of favors.

Later, it was Edward's acting time.

In front of the media reporters, Edward denounced the behavior of the leaker. After an angry reprimand, he said excitedly: "no matter how others put cold arrows behind their backs, I will never give up this great film. On behalf of the" Last Samurai "crew, I solemnly promise to the audience all over the world that our entire crew will abandon this accident Interference, make this great movie wholeheartedly, and give all audiences a satisfactory answer! "

Speaking of this, edwardton said with great firmness: "at the end of this year, the last warrior is with you!"

The press conference was held successfully. Mayer instructed Warner's public relations department to give all reporters present a sincere "fare" in private, in exchange for the direction of media coverage close to their core needs. So after the conference, almost all media reporters present immediately began to write articles. Every reporter couldn't help sighing , Warner's crisis public relations is really fierce. This leak was supposed to have a great impact on Warner, but warner has become the biggest beneficiary.

Just as the media reporters were busy writing, Li Mu learned about the whole press conference through YY English Portal. After confirming that Warner and Edward admitted to divulging the authenticity of the script, his real counterattack began to officially play!

The script that has been written has begun to run, and a large number of content that has been edited by Li Mu in advance has started to be published on some websites with huge traffic in the United States.

In Tom Cruise's fan gathering place, someone published a post called "look, this is the extreme bushido spirit that Tom Cruise highly praised". The title of this post has a great attraction for Tom Cruise's fans. Many people know that Tom Cruise is obsessed with Japanese culture, and this post seems to be to give a big Do you know the bushido spirit of Japan?

And when these fans click in with the attitude of learning, the first black-and-white photo will make countless fans gape!

This is a real historical picture. In the picture, the body of an American officer is in front of his eyes. The most important thing is that his internal organs are hollowed out and his leg muscles are cut only by his white bones

The first sentence below the picture is: in September 1944, the American bomber pilot was captured by the Japanese army on the islands of the father island. In addition to George Busch, who later became president, narrowly escaped, the other eight pilots were beheaded by the Japanese army who believed in the extreme bushido spirit, and their bodies were cooked by the Japanese Army

Then there was a black-and-white picture of a U.S. warship on fire and capsizing, and a black-and-white picture of a U.S. Navy soldier jumping into the sea with fire all over his body.

In 1944, in order to resist the attack of the U.S. Navy, the Japanese army at the end of the crossbow encouraged the pilots to fly their planes to collide with the U.S. warships with the extreme bushido spirit. This is the Shenfeng special attack team that Japanese advocates of the extreme bushido spirit are still proud of!

Then, there was a picture of countless American prisoners of war being driven away by Japanese armed with samurai swords and rifles. The American prisoners in the picture were all bony, very similar to the Jewish refugees in Nazi concentration camps;In 1942, the American and Philippine garrison on the Bataan peninsula of the Philippines fought fiercely with the Japanese army for four months. Finally, due to the lack of materials and support, nearly 80000 soldiers surrendered to Japan. These 80000 people were forcibly escorted to the POW camp 160 kilometers away. On the way of 160 kilometers, the Japanese army, which believed in the spirit of extreme Bushido, killed and assassinated the POWs, 160 kilometers away Five thousand prisoners of war died!

Next, there is a picture reported by Japan's Tokyo Japan news during World War II, on which there are two Japanese officers holding samurai swords. In addition, there is a black-and-white picture of the Japanese army wielding samurai swords and cutting off the head of an ordinary people.

the following text describes: in 1937, two Japanese invaders who believed in the spirit of extreme Samurai advanced in China They called it a "hundred people beheading". The meaning of the so-called "hundred people beheading" was that who killed 100 innocent Chinese people with samurai sword first and who was the winner of the "competition". The first picture was the official report of the demonic competition by Tokyo Japan news at that time!

Later, there are many old photos of the war period, including the photos of the Japanese army beheading the American prisoners of war, the photos of the Japanese army beheading the common people, holding their heads in their hands, the photos of the Japanese army assassinating the prisoners of war, the photos of the Japanese army burying the common people and the prisoners alive

After a lot of bloody photos, the author of the post asked: "after reading these photos, please tell me, what's the difference between extreme bushido spirit and dehumanizing Nazism? What are the intentions of those who extol the spirit of extreme Bushido? I don't understand why, when the Nazis have been despised by the people all over the world, there are people who have lost their conscience who would sing praises for another kind of so-called spirit comparable to the Nazis? "

Later, the author pointed the spear at Tom Cruise, the first actor of the Last Samurai: "Tom Cruise, you have been publicly saying that you like Japanese culture and bushido spirit in various occasions, and even now you have received a film about samurai. You even said to the media that for this film You've been preparing for the movie for two years. If it wasn't for the script of the movie to leak, we didn't even know that it was a brainwashing movie that fully beautified the extreme bushido spirit!

I want to ask you, as an American, don't you really know nothing about the history of decades ago?

Don't you know how many innocent Americans and other innocent people have been slaughtered by this "spirit"?!

Don't you know how much death and suffering this "spirit" has brought to people all over the world?!

And you, in order to make money, have the audacity to wear the armor that highlights Bushido, take up the long sword of Bushido, wash the ground and platform for this extreme bushido spirit! Even extremely devoted to participate in this kind of film that spare no effort to beautify the extreme bushido spirit, it is really disappointing!

I want to ask you, when you see these pictures, when you understand these deeds, when you see those helpless and frightened eyes, won't the heart in your chest feel ashamed? "
