Chapter 1180 The Catastrophe Is Imminent
When the tired Tom Cruise heard the agent's words, he immediately threw all the tiredness out of the sky.
A turn over (shēn) got up, and Tom Cruise roared furiously: "How can they be so shameless! Holding a press conference without notifying me at this time is to get rid of me and take me back! "
The agent also blurted out angrily: "It must be like this! These bastards!"
"F*ck!"
At this moment, Tom Cruise is out of anger, completely forgetting that he originally wanted to leave Warner and (love ài) Dehua aside, and hold a press conference to cleanse himself. He suddenly panicked.
At this time, the agent hurriedly said: "Tom, Tom! Hold on, you must hold on! The most important thing for us now is to find a solution, there is not much time left for us!"
Tom Cruise said irritably: "What solution is there now? Even if we hold a press conference now, it's too late!"
The agent blurted out: "Call Mayer! Before the press conference starts, hurry up and negotiate with him! In any case, it is very excessive for him to throw us away now, if he can (Yǔn) Maybe if you also attend this press conference and speak with them together, then we will not pursue their treachery!"
Tom Cruise nodded and said, "That's all I can do, I'll call Mayer now!"
The agent also instructed: "Hurry up and prepare now, I'll drive over to pick you up, let's go to Warner's press conference venue first, if you can't tell Meyer on the phone, then we'll go directly to the venue, when the time comes ((Forcing bī)bī) He has to accept our conditions!"
"OK!" Tom Cruise reacted immediately, such a big thing, how can communication only be guaranteed on the phone, you still have to prepare both hands!
At this moment, Mayer is in the lounge next to the Warners press conference room double-checking the content of the speech to be delivered at the press conference.
As the leader of Warner Bros., Mayer has seen countless big scenes, and he has experienced such a press conference many times. Except for the first time he was a little nervous, he was able to do it with ease every time after that. But today, He felt much more nervous than before the first press conference.
Mayer knew in his heart that when the media reporters arrived and he left the room, he was not the CEO of Warner, but one of the targets of the entire Internet.
In other words, you are a sinner to the American people.
Today, what I have to do is to clean up or reduce my guilt. This matter is very important to me. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
Several other Warner Bros. executives are not as nervous as Mayer at the moment. After all, this time, Mayer is responsible for the blame. They are only accompanied by a little bit of joint responsibility and pressure. And the burden is much lighter than that of Mayer.
Meyer's nervous legs kept shaking back and forth, he put down the manuscript from time to time, kneaded the sun with both hands, and his nervousness was beyond words.
At this moment, Mayer's cell phone rang.
It was Horita Jiro who called.
Mayer looked at the constantly vibrating mobile phone, and felt extremely irritable. When Horita called at this time, he must have known that he was going to hold a press conference (love qíng), so he made this phone call, nothing good.
Thinking of this, Mayer was ready to ignore the phone call, letting it ring there for a long time, and Mayer didn't pick up the phone.
After the phone rang for a long time, it finally calmed down, and the nerves that had been tense in Mayer's mind loosened a little. Unexpectedly, the phone rang again just a few seconds later.
Or Horita Jiro.
Mayer was already a little disgusted, this Horita,
It's really (yin yīn) that the soul is not scattered, the most important thing is that he has this kind of magic power, which can bring a strong sense of oppression to himself, even if he can't see him, he can't hear him, just his phone call is enough. Make yourself restless.
The more this happened, the stronger the resistance in Meyer's heart. When the phone rang five or six times, he couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button, and said immediately. : "Mr. Horita, I tell you very formally, don't call me again!"
Horita Jiro's angry voice came: "Mayer! You bastard! How dare you hold a press conference without permission? Who gave you the courage?! What do you want to do? What do you want to say at the press conference?!"
Mayer didn't expect Horita to yell at himself as soon as he came up, and he suddenly got angry and said angrily: "Horita, you have to figure out, I'm not your employee, nor your lackey! I'm Warner. Brother's CEO, I have the right to do what I want to do, and it has nothing to do with you! Do you think you are great when you have money? This is America, not Japan!"
"Bag Ya Lu!" Horita Jiro shouted hysterically: "Mayer, you don't want to know what's going to happen to anger me! I'll give you one last offer, cancel the press conference, and we both clear, otherwise , the consequences are yours to weigh!"
Mayer was not attracted by Horita Jiro's conditions at all. He now knows very well what he wants to do.
He wants to get rid of this black hole of public opinion completely, so as not to be swallowed up by this black hole, so he doesn't want to get rid of Horita, he wants to get rid of the people in the United States and even the whole world who are against extreme Bushido. !
So, Mayer said coldly: "Horota, it is impossible to cancel the press conference. From now on, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. As for the compensation terms stipulated in the contract, Warner will definitely abide by it, and will honor it as soon as possible. , I and you are in a contractual relationship, and everything should be done according to the contract!"
Horita Jiro did not expect that Mayer would dare to ignore him so much, and immediately shouted: "Mayer! If you insist on holding a press conference, I will definitely make you regret it..."
Before he finished speaking, Mayer hung up the phone.
"Bagaya Road!" Horita Jiro angrily smashed the phone, his expression was extremely ferocious, his face seemed to be dyed, red and purple.
The assistant next to (body shēn) hurriedly stepped forward and comforted: "Your Excellency, you don't need to be too angry, it's nothing more than a little Meyer, we can make this guy evaporate from the world at any time!"
Horita Jiro gritted his teeth and said: "Mayer is now being watched all over the world, if he just announced at the press conference that he would stop filming "The Last Samurai", then the situation is not too fast, but if he wants to Get rid of yourself and shake me and Sumitomo's shell company out, that will have a huge impact on us!"
Horita knows very well that Sumitomo's market has always been global. If it is revealed that he secretly invests in a film praising the spirit of extreme Bushido, the negative impact on a global scale will be too great. shēn) is in an important position, and he must not make such a basket for the consortium, otherwise, his position in the entire consortium will be greatly affected.
And Horita's heart is a little clearer, if Mayer just announced that he would stop filming this time, then after this incident (love qíng), he really has 10,000 ways to make him disappear from this world directly.
But on the other hand, if Mayer leaked himself, or if the consortium was involved, then he would really have no way to take him, because at that time, even if Mayer died in a real accident, the whole world would definitely Blame his death on his own head, how dare he provoke him?
Here, Mayer hung up Horita's phone, finally feeling a lot more at ease.
In fact, he has long wanted to scold this little guy who is less than 1.6 meters tall. This person (body shēn) does not see (Japanese rì) his so-called modesty and politeness. He is full of all the time. The arrogant, arrogant and bossy attitude makes people disgusted.
In the past, I didn't dare to disobey him, or even talk to him loudly, but this time, after finally letting go of him, Mayer realized that this feeling was so fucking cool, and the anger came out, and sure enough, the whole person felt comfortable. Quite a lot!
Recalling the scene just now, the phone rang again, and this time, it was Tom Cruise who called.
Mayer didn't know that Tom Cruise had returned to China, but he also guessed that Tom Cruise called him at this time, and he must have known that he was going to hold a press conference.
So, Mayer decided not to answer his calls.
Not only is he not ready to answer his call, but at this moment, Meyer doesn't want to receive any more calls from anyone.
He just wants to finish this press conference well and get rid of all the burdens that can be thrown off. As for other people, just go to him, he is not God, how can he control so many people.
So, Mayer turned off his phone without hesitation, and he would never turn it on again before the press conference was over.
When disaster strikes, neither he nor Warner can take care of others.
For Mayer, he just wants to solve the current troubles as soon as possible. At this time, his only appeal is to minimize the influence on Warner. In order to achieve this goal, no one's interests cannot be sacrificed.
Whether it is Tom Cruise or (love ài) Dewar Zwick, these two just happen to be the pitiful worms that Mayer can step on and climb up in the quagmire. Only by sacrificing them can we maximize the benefits. Mayer himself, as well as Warner from it (body shēn).
Thinking of this, Mayer thought of that damn Horita Jiro again.
Although it was cool to be mad at this fool just now, Mayer also knew in his heart that if he offended Tom Cruise and (爱ài) Dewar Zwick, he could not deal with them in the future. Tanjiro is too dangerous.
Horita Jiro's ability, wealth, status, and influence are unmatched by ordinary super rich people. Behind him is an overly powerful super consortium. If a Fortune 500 company is an aircraft carrier formation, behind him The consortium is simply the entire US Navy.
Mayer didn't (forbidden) to think, if he offended him, would he bring any danger to himself?
