Chapter 1181

Journalists from all major media almost packed the whole conference hall.

No way, there are too many people!

Nowadays, the topic of "the last samurai" has become the most popular news in the world. At least a few hundred million people are paying close attention to it through the Internet and other media channels. Every media regards it as the most important news, and there is no one.

When Tom Cruise arrived at the scene, the press conference was about to start. However, what he didn't expect was that Mayer specially arranged several security guards to guard the entrance outside the press conference and deliberately told them not to let anyone except Warner employees and media reporters enter the venue, which naturally included Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick 。

Tom Cruise, who was blocked at the entrance by the security guards, almost walked away. He protested with the security guards many times, but it was useless. Nearly 20 security guards guarded one entrance, and Tom Cruise could not enter at all.

Later, Edward Zwick came in a hurry and asked Tom Cruise about his situation as soon as he saw that Tom Cruise was blocked out.

Tom Cruise said angrily, "these guys won't let me in. Now Mayer the bastard has decided to betray us!"

Although Edward Zwick had long guessed that Warner would hold a press conference without saying hello, he certainly wanted to run away from himself and Tom Cruise, but when this happened suddenly, he also hated and was in a hurry. He even wanted to get a gun to kill all the security guards at the door, and then rushed in to clarify to all the media that he was the victim. Warner was the victim Take the Japanese money and be willing to work for them!

However, no matter how anxious or hateful it is, they can't get in and have no time to hold a press conference in front of Warner. The only thing they can do is to wait! Wait to hear how Meyer will excuse himself. If he really betrays himself and Tom Cruise, they will wait here. Wait for the media reporters to come out and clarify the truth to them immediately!

At this time, the conference is about to start.

The whole conference hall was so noisy that no one could hear Tom Cruise's angry shouting outside.

A few minutes later, Meyer and a group of Warner's high-rise people came out of the lounge in line. They walked onto the stage very neatly. Before taking their seats, everyone stood in a straight line and bowed to the reporters under the stage.

Everyone bows at an angle of 90 degrees, which indicates their attitude before they speak.

They came to apologize.

Sure enough, when everyone bowed for half a minute, everyone sat down in their seats in silence. Mayer sat in the middle of the room, picked up the microphone and said, "thank you all for coming to this press conference. I'm Mayer, CEO of Warner Bros..."

Mayer first introduced himself, then introduced other Warner executives around him.

After the introduction in turn, Mayer went straight to the main point and said with a guilty face: "because Warner made a movie with a very inappropriate theme, which caused a strong protest from the vast number of netizens. I hope to apologize to the people all over the world through the media here. It's our negligence that makes your psychology suffer from some unexpected harm."

At this point, Mayer immediately stood up, and other executives followed, bowing deeply again.

After bowing, Mayer sat down and continued: "as for the movie" the last warrior ", Warner really has a great responsibility in the topic selection. It's our negligence in management and script research that leads us to be fooled by this carefully packaged script. We foolishly cast this movie. In the early stage of shooting, because of our negligence, we are foolishly finished I don't know that the film actually contains a motive to exonerate the executioner. This responsibility should be borne by me personally. All the negligence is caused by my poor management. "

Mayer's words are self reflection, but in fact, he is throwing the pot around. He used only one Warner topic to be responsible, so he separated the creation of the last samurai script from Warner completely. The real meaning is: Although we chose the wrong theme, the theme and script were not written by us, but were written by others to pit us, and we It's also because of the research and prevention that we have learned.

As for who wrote the theme and the script, it must be the writers who have come to memorize it.

But the screenwriter is also very poor. As an investor, horoda has the idea of shooting such a story, but he doesn't know the screenwriter, the lens language, and the commercial packaging. So he can only tell the story he wants, and the professional screenwriter will create it. Frankly speaking, the screenwriter may just be a pen writer.

Mayer knows this truth, but he can't care about the life and death of the screenwriter now. All he needs to care about is himself.

Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick outside listened to Mayer's words, and they were furious!

They are very clear about Mayer's motivation for doing so. Mayer has left the biggest package to the screenwriter of this movie. Everyone has a spirit of tracing the origin of all the evil things. Everyone hopes to know where the evil was born, where it was born, or the creator is generally the most despised by the people.For example, although Hitler didn't kill the innocent Jews in the concentration camp, he was responsible for the evil of genocide. Therefore, the most notorious person in Nazi Germany was him, and the most responsible person for all blood debts was him.

Now, Mayer has thrown out the big pot of "the source of evil". Warner only received the project and was blinded by it before he decided to shoot it. The creator of the project is the screenwriter of the film.

The screenwriter is Edward's good friend, and he still hasn't come back from New Zealand. Edward is very clear that he is too innocent. Although the script was written by him, the story is not created by him. These were put forward by Kojiro Noda. He has a professional planning team under his hand, and has prepared for the film for a long time. All the story backgrounds and plots in the film Trend and character are all based on his ideas.

At the meeting, after saying this, Mayer felt no guilt, and continued: "the truth about history, Warner's key personnel, including me, lacked the necessary in-depth understanding, which led to the occurrence of this mistake. If I, as well as my management, studied the history of World War II more deeply, I don't think we would take such a song at all The movie of devil spirit. "

After a pause, Mayer said: "because of the lack of understanding of history, we have made such an unforgivable mistake. On behalf of all Warner employees, I once again say sorry to the audience all over the world! It's our fault! It's our responsibility! "

Except CNN and several big TV stations have the ability to do live broadcasting, other media do not have such a fast information transmission channel, so many multimedia reporters' laptops and mobile phone buttons crackle and crackle, they are sending Meyer's words back to their companies in the fastest way, and then quickly to the world.

At this time, Mayer added: "due to our mistakes, which have caused so much trouble to the people all over the world, Warner brothers decided after careful discussion and study to permanently stop the shooting plan of" the last samurai ". All the economic losses caused by this will be borne by Warner, including but not limited to the remuneration and cooperation of actors and directors, crew members Loss of partners, compensation for breach of contract, etc. It's Warner's consistent attitude that we should immediately and spare no effort to correct our mistakes! "

Meyer's words soon won the favor of the present media reporters. Everyone can feel the sincerity of Meyer's words, admit the mistakes without hesitation and without any hesitation and ambiguity. This attitude is indeed praiseworthy.

However, Mayer's all-out loss is on Warner's own head. In fact, it's a steady pit for Tom Cruise, Edward Zwick and all the cast members.

Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick are going crazy outside the hall. Warner will bear all the losses, including but not limited to the remuneration of directors, actors and crew members? It's all at the expense of others!

In the beginning, Warner apologized at the conference, which made Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick a bit stubborn. Now, Mayer says something like this. What he wants to highlight is that Warner doesn't care about money and is willing to pay for his mistakes, while actors like Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick still want to get paid ...

In a word, it has raised Warner several grades, while at the same time, it has severely lowered the performance staff including Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick

Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick hate to fight Mayer, but Mayer has no time to estimate them.

Seeing all the media reporters' praise and recognition for themselves, Meyer knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved. In order to continue to consolidate the results, his apology continued.

"On behalf of all Warner employees, I hereby solemnly promise to the people of the world that from now on, we will carefully examine every film in the future and never make the same mistake again. At the same time, I hope that the film and television industry colleagues around the world can take a warning and never make the same mistake as Warner again," said Meyer

Speaking of this, Mayerton bowed again and said: "here, I would like to solemnly apologize and repent to the Chinese people and the American people! Because I have been deeply aware of the great cost that Chinese and American people paid in the just war with Japan for the sake of world peace in the second world war! It is because of your great sacrifice and dedication that we have changed today's peace situation for the whole world. You are so great, but we have hurt you because of our negligence. I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! "
