Six Hundred and Seventy-Six - Lost Inventions of the 1990s.
The calm sea surface with hidden whirlpools is what Wayne has always been worried about, because he doesn't know when and where those hidden turbulences will surge out.
When the enemy who had been hiding in the darkness came out of the darkness to take action, he felt relieved. All that's left is to try and find a way to deliver a fatal blow.
"Boss, Bruce called."
The moment the TV show ended, before Wayne could say anything more, the phone in the living room rang. Nina picked up the phone immediately, whispered a few words, and tilted her head to look at her boss.
"give it to me."
Waving to the assistant lady, Wayne took the phone and put it to his ear. "I'm Wayne, Bruce. It seems you've also watched "Good Morning America". What do you think?"
"Shit, you're still joking at this time." Bruce Rosenblum's hoarse voice came from the microphone. Undoubtedly, the good breakfast time on the rest day was interrupted by a TV program. “Listen, it’s best not to say anything to the media now, it’s best not to ask them anything, and I’ll handle public opinion.
As for that little guy, don’t worry, Warner Bros. has its own team of lawyers and let him sue. This time, I will never let him stay in jail for more than a month! "
"There are lawsuits, Bruce."
Wayne smiled, shook his head, and said something pointedly. Since that guy dared to stand up at this point in time, there must be someone else standing behind him. Warner Bros. does have its own team of lawyers. Don’t other companies not?
He can imagine that this lawsuit will last for a long time. If the other party goes too far and imposes travel restrictions on himself, I am afraid that next week's trip to the East will be delayed.
"Everything still depends on the theater market..."
"That's right!"
As Bruce Rosenblum lamented, in fact the lawsuit is not the main thing, nor is the hype about him. The most important battlefield is still in the theater market. No matter which film it is, if it wins in the next few weeks and the competition in the theater market is over, who will care about the life or death of that little guy?
"It seems that someone has forgotten what kind of character I am, f**k, this matter is not that easy to solve. Wayne, you were right not to lead a team to promote this time. I didn't expect that Sony Columbia would take action. Combination punches.”
"It doesn't matter. Compared to the current situation, I don't want to wait passively." The sound of the phone was so loud that the two women sitting next to them could even hear their conversation. Wayne looked at the phone that had been closed. TV, continued thoughtfully: "It's okay for him to be on TV, but can't I? Bruce, help me arrange a program, as soon as possible."
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I'll make arrangements as soon as possible. However, don't have high expectations. This kind of thing cannot be clarified at all. Ordinary people only want to believe the so-called victims, the victims in their eyes. , I hope these bad things will not affect the perfect box office start of "The Flash" too much!"
"There is no way, there will definitely be an impact. Let's do this for now. Let's take a look at the situation and then decide how to deal with it."
Before hanging up the phone, several people in the living room heard Bruce Rosenblum's angry beeping. "F**k, I won't make it easy for you, f**k..."
"Honey."
The moment the phone was hung up, Naomi Watts reached out and held his arm with worried eyes. "Listen to me, in a situation like this, the most useful way is to remain silent and let Bruce handle public opinion. This is the most common way for people in the industry. We need time. If you stand up now, it is like adding fuel to the fire. Oil, most ordinary people won’t believe the explanation.”
It's absolutely true that when Hollywood's top celebrities face a scandal, whether it's true or false, the first choice is always to remain silent and wait for time to play its role.
This method is very useful and has been proven countless times. The more you stand up and give stupid explanations at this time, the more the public will think that you have an ulterior conspiracy. Only waiting for things to cool down and finding ways to reverse public opinion is the smart choice.
But Wayne couldn't wait. Not to mention flying to the East next week, and the opening weekend of "The Flash" was just around the corner. He couldn't let public opinion have an unbridled influence on the film. This is probably the purpose of some people. Whether it is the negative comments about "The Flash" in the media or this morning's TV show, this is probably the purpose.
"Nami, no matter how many people believe it, I have to stand up."
Shaking his head slightly, Wayne explained: "Doing nothing is the only way to truly fulfill those people's wishes. The first thing we have to consider is the box office of "The Flash" in the past two days. Other things will wait until the weekend is over. Naturally, there is plenty of time to do it slowly.”
The newspapers stacked on the coffee table can be seen everywhere with the negative reviews of "The Flash" by film critics. To say they are vitriolic would be an understatement. Many of the so-called film reviews are more like personal attacks on Wayne.
The opponent's actions are very useful. On the one hand, he takes advantage of the so-called professionalism of the film critics and starts with the movie itself. On the other hand, he uses the beaten little reporter to entangle his main energy. There is no doubt that by the time all these troubles are solved, time will have passed. It's been a few weeks.
From oneself to others, if Wayne is the designer of this situation, it will definitely not be so easy for his opponent to get out of trouble. There may be other troubles waiting later. Therefore, passive waiting will definitely not work. Warner Bros. can suppress some public opinions through its own influence, so it must also take action on its own side.
Naomi Watts would rather "The Flash" not make money and lose everything than be labeled as a violent maniac or a pervert by public opinion. She shouted with some atmosphere: "Do it slowly? Damn it, How to do it? Like Bruce Rosenblum, say harsh words on the phone?"
"Huh? Harsh words?!"
Hearing the angry words of the Australian actress, Wayne and Nina looked at each other and grinned together. "My dear assistant, tell Nami who Bruce Rosenblum is."
Compared with Naomi Watts, who has always been from the perspective of an actress and star, Nina obviously has to see more and understand more. The assistant lady rolled her eyes, but moved her position, sat next to the Australian actress, and said in a low voice:
"Nami, Bruce Rosenblum is harmless to humans and animals. He is only harmless when facing the boss and others. He is the most old-fashioned in the industry and will never say harsh words easily. The reason why you If you think he is easy to talk to, it is because of the relationship between the boss and you. In fact, many people in the circle are secretly calling him a poisonous snake, a cobra that likes to bite and never let go..."
In fact, there is no simple person who can be the director of one of the six Hollywood rights departments. The same is true for Bruce Rosenblum. On the surface, he is a film marketing master, public relations master, and outstanding A manager, but behind his work ability, he is a bad wolf who stands firmly by the side of capital.
"There has always been a rumor in the circle, but no one has confirmed it until now."
When a woman talks about gossip, she seems to be able to forget all her troubles. Nina shrugged and continued in a low voice: "When we just entered the 1990s, a Dutchman named Jan Sloot came to the United States proudly with his invention. Hollywood.
His invention seems to be called a digital encoding system. The specific name is not important, but this invention is very powerful because it can compress a 10G movie into 8kb without affecting the film. the quality of! Nami, do you know what this means? This will subvert most of Hollywood's data transmission methods! "
"Oh God!" Naomi Watts couldn't help covering her mouth and screamed. "Why have I never heard of this amazing invention?"
"Of course, this kind of thing will not only subvert Hollywood's data transmission method, but also subvert all current profit models. Not only will film be eliminated, but emerging DVDs, video tapes, and everything else will be thrown into the trash in a short time. In the pile!
Legend has it that this Dutch inventor demonstrated this to Philips. He only used a 64kb chip and was able to play 16 movies at the same time! "
"Then what?" Naomi Watts asked with wide eyes.
The corner of Nina's mouth twitched, she glanced at Wayne who was meditating, spread his hands and said: "No. Then, Bruce Rosenblum interviewed the Dutch inventor and expressed that he was very interested in this technology. , it is said that after watching it, he told Jane Slote, 'You are about to become the richest man on earth, go back and wait for the investment signing'.
The ending was that when Jane Slote returned and was about to start a big fight, he suddenly suffered a heart attack two days before signing the contract and died mysteriously in his garden! Disappearing into this world together was his compression technology that could make him the richest man in the world! "
This may be just a story, or it may have really happened in Hollywood. No one is willing to investigate the truth of the matter, but there is one person who cannot be bypassed, Bruce Rosenblum.
Hollywood is known as the place where dreams are made, but behind the lights and feasting of dreams, there are always all kinds of cannon fodder laying the groundwork. Many things that happen here can be called dreams, and some things may not happen in the movie, because even if the screenwriter has such a big imagination, no one will believe it.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
On the other side, the reaction of changing brothers was also very fast. Faced with the bad reviews of "The Flash" by those film critics, they immediately responded through their media. Bruce Rosenblum's methods were very rough and various soft articles He compared "The Flash" to George Lucas' "Star Wars".
When "Star Wars" was released back then, it was simply trampled into the ground by film critics. However, those film critics were collectively slapped in the face by big mouths. It can be said that this group of people least wants to mention the past.
Faced with Vitali Sejduc's accusations against Wayne, the head of Warner Bros.'s public relations department told the media that he would pursue the other party's rumors. He also announced that Wayne will face the public in person in the near future and stand up to clarify the matter.
However, "The Flash", which was surrounded by various public opinions early in the morning, was still inevitably impacted. On Saturday, which was supposed to be a box office hit, many movie fans in the cinema hesitated when faced with weekend entertainment choices. .....
