Chapter 1172 Don't You Feel Ashamed?

[92zw] Edward flew all the way nervously, perfectly interpreting an old saying in Huaxia from another angle: close to nostalgia is more timid.

Have to be timid!

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

In all fairness, Edward felt that 10 million percent of the leaked script this time came from insiders, and whether or not he could find out in the end, it was caused by his own poor management.

The investment of 140 million US dollars is in his own hands, and all the investment plans are leaked out while playing. Who would dare to invest money to make movies in the future?

In case Warner blocks him in a rage, I am afraid that no one in Hollywood will pull him...

When the plane landed in Los Angeles, Edward really wanted to lie down in the table and chair and cry, anxious, painful, frightened, apprehensive... All kinds of negative emotions lingered in Edward's heart, making him feel like being surrounded by a boulder He squeezed his chest, making it hard to even breathe.

After getting off the plane, he hurriedly took a taxi to the company. In the taxi, he saw today's newspaper. Except for the huge headline that read "The Last Samurai Script Leaked", there was a huge photo on the front page. This photo is synthesized by the media itself, with Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe and other actors, and it looks menacing.

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

When he arrived at the company, Edward received consoling glances from all his colleagues, and a public relations manager who knew him told him: "Edward, the boss will hold a press conference tomorrow, you must cheer up!"

Edward was going crazy.

Press conference, are you going to let yourself take the blame so soon?

He was extremely anxious and walked all the way to the door of Mayer's office.

The secretary outside saw him and said with a smile, "Edward, you're finally back!"

Edward couldn't help but get annoyed. Damn, I stabbed the big basket, why are you laughing? Schadenfreude is it?

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

The secretary smiled and said, "Mr. Mayer is not here, but let me tell you when he leaves in the morning, so you don't have to worry, take a good rest first, and he will interview you in the evening."

Edward was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What did you say? Mr. Mayer told me not to worry?"

"Yes." The secretary explained: "Mr. Mayer was very happy when he left. It seems that this matter did not cause him much trouble, so he deliberately asked me to tell you those words."

Edward, who was confused, didn't dare to relax his vigilance immediately, but returned to his home in Los Angeles anxiously, waiting for Mayer's call.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Meyer's phone called, and after asking Edward with concern whether he had arrived in Los Angeles, he immediately invited him to his home to interview about tomorrow's press conference.

Edward hurried over, and the moment he saw Mayer, he was nervous like a three-year-old.

Unexpectedly, Mayer warmly invited him to sit down on the sofa in the living room, handed himself a cigar, and said with a smile, "Edward, you've got a blessing in disguise this time! Now the script has leaked. It has become a hot spot among the hot spots, and even YY has reported it, and the exposure of the film has reached its peak all of a sudden, and the Japanese management is very satisfied with it!”

Edward asked incredulously: "Mr. Mayer, why are the Japanese management satisfied with this?"

Mayer laughed: "What they care about is exposure and influence, but the box office is not so important. Now that the film has not been finished, the fame is already so big, of course they are very satisfied."

Saying that, Mayer patted Edward on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You must be worried all the way back, right?"

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, the boulder in his heart seemed to be moved away in an instant, and tears of excitement were about to flow out, but he still said with lingering fear: "Mr. Mayer, only God knows how hard it is for me to come back! God bless me,

Otherwise, I don't even know how to face you and the employer..."

Mayer laughed and said with relief: "Your luck is really good. If things continue to develop like this this time, this movie will probably become the hottest topic of the year. When the movie is released in the future, it will definitely cause a huge sensation! "

Edward nodded again and again and promised: "Mr. Mayer, please rest assured, I will do my best to make this movie well!"

Mayer nodded and smiled: "I believe in your strength!"

After finishing speaking, Mayer said again: "Let's take a good look at the press conference tomorrow. After the press conference is done well, you can set off and rush back to continue shooting."

...

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

Yesterday's YY push made this script leak a super hot spot that the entire 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 you pay a little attention to the news industry, you will find that this industry is very similar to the people making money. The poorer the people, the slower the speed of making money. There are no opportunities, and even if there are, it is difficult to seize; The more money you have, the faster you can make money, and some opportunities will even come to you, so the poorer people are, the poorer they are, and the richer they are, the richer they are.

The news industry is exactly the same, some news is too exhausted to stir up the heat, and all the media turn a deaf ear to it; but some news is just a little bit and the more it burns, and countless people spontaneously come in to add fuel to the fire.

The news leaked by the script of "The Last Samurai" is like the latter, because Tom Cruise is a big star, so it can quickly become popular in a very short period of time, and countless media have come in to assist.

At the press conference, Mayer and Edward were so excited that they couldn't wait to laugh out loud in the face of countless media's long guns and short guns, but the two of them still held back their excitement, and their faces were full of anger and admitted the leaked content in front of the media. The authenticity of the leaker, while strongly condemning the shameless behavior of the leaker.

As CEO, Mayer said in front of the media, seemingly furious: "The leak of the script of The Last Samurai is the most disgusting and dirty thing that has happened in Hollywood in recent years, although we still don't know who leaked it. The script is absolutely confidential, but what is certain is that the other party did this to interfere with the filming of the film, he must have messed us up, he must have wanted us to temporarily modify the script or stop shooting indefinitely."

Speaking of this, Mayer said impassively: "However, I solemnly promise to all the media and audiences at this press conference today: Although the script of the movie "The Last Samurai" has been leaked, please believe it. , Warners will definitely abandon all interference, continue to support Edward and the work of the entire crew, and will definitely complete the film as planned!"

After saying this, Mayer paused, stretched out his right index finger and gestured upwards, and shouted: "At the same time, I want to tell the shameless leaker: Do you think you can make Warner submit? Dream! I tell you! Warner We will never modify the script temporarily, never stop filming, and never bow to a scum like you! At the same time, Warners will definitely investigate this leak to the end, dig you out, and make you pay the price!"

Meyer's performance at the press conference, in the eyes of Americans, is really "have-balls". In layman's terms, it is to bring seeds. This attitude has also won him a lot of goodwill.

Then, it was the performance time of director Edward.

In front of the media reporters, Edward first condemned the leaker's behavior, and after an angry condemnation, 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 crew of The Last Samurai solemnly promises to the audiences all over the world that our entire crew will definitely put aside this unexpected interference, make this great film wholeheartedly, and give all audiences a satisfactory answer!"

Speaking of this, Edward paused, and said very stubbornly: "At the end of this year, "The Last Samurai" will see you all!"

The press conference was very successful, and Mayer instructed Warner's public relations to privately give all the reporters present a sincere "travel fee" in exchange for the direction of the media coverage to be close to his own core needs, so After the press conference, almost all the media reporters present began to write articles immediately. Every reporter couldn’t help but sigh that Warner’s crisis public relations are really powerful. , Unexpectedly, Warner has become the biggest beneficiary.

While the media reporters were busy writing, Li Mu learned about the whole press conference through the YY English portal. After confirming that Warner and Edward admitted the authenticity of the leaked script, his real counterattack was officially staged!

The script that had been written began to run, and a large amount of content that was edited by Li Mu in advance began to be published on some websites with huge traffic in the United States.

In the gathering place of Tom Cruise's fans, someone posted a post titled "Look, this is the extreme Bushido spirit that Tom Cruise strongly advocates", the title of this post is to Tom Cruise The fans of St. John's are very attractive. Many people know that Tom Cruise is obsessed with Japanese culture, and this post seems to be to give everyone a good understanding of the Japanese Bushido spirit?

And when these fans clicked in with the mentality of learning, the first black and white photo made countless fans stunned!

This is a real historical picture. In the picture, the corpse of a beautiful police officer is impressive, and the most important thing is that his internal organs were hollowed out, and only the bones of the leg muscles were cut...

The first sentence below the picture is: In September 1944, the US bomber pilot was captured by the Japanese on the Chichijima Islands. Except for George Buchi, who later became the president, the other eight pilots were brutally tortured by the extreme Bushido spirit. The Japanese army was beheaded, and the body was cooked by the Japanese army...

Immediately after that, there is a black-and-white photo of a U.S. Navy ship capsized on fire, and a black-and-white photo of a U.S. Navy soldier jumping from the ship into the sea covered in fire.

There is a text description below: In 1944, in order to resist the attack of the U.S. Navy, the Japanese army at the end of the force used the extreme Bushido spirit to encourage pilots to fly their planes to ram American ships. Special Attack Team!

Then, there is another photo of countless American prisoners of war being driven by Japanese armed with katana swords and rifles. The American prisoners of war in the photo are all skinny and very similar to Jewish refugees in Nazi concentration camps;

The accompanying text description is: In 1942, the American and Filipino defenders on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines fought fiercely with the Japanese army for four months. In the end, due to lack of supplies and support, nearly 80,000 soldiers surrendered to Japan. These 80,000 soldiers were forcibly escorted to Japan. 160 kilometers away from the prisoner of war camp, on this 160-kilometer road, the Japanese army who believed in the spirit of extreme bushido stabbed and shot the prisoners of war frantically. On the 160-kilometer journey, 15,000 prisoners of war died!

Then there is a photo reported by Japan's "Tokyo Nikki Shimbun" during World War II. There are two Japanese officers holding katana swords. In addition, there is also a picture of Japanese soldiers wielding katana swords and cutting down an ordinary citizen. black and white photograph of the head;

The following text description is: In 1937, two Japanese invaders who believed in the spirit of extreme Bushido conducted an inhumane "competition" in China, which they called "Hundred People Kill", the so-called "Hundred People Kill" It means that whoever kills 100 innocent people in China with a samurai sword first is the winner of this "competition", and the first photo was taken by Japan's "Tokyo Daily News" against this demonic competition. Official report!

Later, there were many old photos from the war period, including photos of the Japanese army beheading American prisoners of war, photos of the Japanese army cutting off the heads of ordinary people and holding them in their hands to show off their power, photos of the Japanese army stabbing prisoners of war with bayonets, and photos of the Japanese army beating civilians and prisoners of war. Buried pictures...

After a large number of bloody photos, the author of the post asked: "Having seen these photos, please tell me, what is the difference between the extreme Bushido spirit and the dehumanizing Nazism? What are the motives of those who praise the extreme Bushido spirit? I I don't understand, when the Nazis have been spurned by people all over the world, why are there people who have lost their consciences and praised another so-called spirit that is comparable to the Nazis?"

Subsequently, the author pointed the spearhead directly at Tom Cruise, the first actor of "The Last Samurai":

"Tom Cruise, you have always publicly stated that you like Japanese culture and the spirit of Bushido on various occasions, and even now you have made a movie about samurai, and you even kept saying to the media that for this You have been preparing the movie for two whole years. If the script of the movie hadn't been leaked, we wouldn't even know that this was a brainwashing movie that tried its best to beautify the extreme Bushido spirit!

I want to ask you, as an American, do you really know nothing about the history of decades ago?

Don't you know how many innocent Americans and how many innocent people from other countries have suffered this kind of "spiritual" slaughter? !

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, brazenly don the armor that highlights Bushido, pick up the long sword of Bushido, wash the ground and stand for this extreme Bushido spirit! It is really disappointing to even be extremely devoted to such a film that spares no effort to beautify the spirit of extreme Bushido!

I want to ask you, when you see these pictures, when you learn about these deeds, when you see those helpless and frightened eyes, is the heart in your chest not ashamed ? "【Just Love Chinese】
