Chapter 1423: Public Opinion Hedging

"Today Lewinsky's interview with the "New York Herald" was arranged very well. I just checked the hot news list on facebook, and the news from "Forbes" was squeezed out again. It seems that you are getting more and more capable. I understand the method of hedging social news from entertainment news."

"The thing is, boss, that's why the White House called me and confronted me about it."

"I'll take the time to explain to Bill that it's over and we're just reusing waste, and he won't mind too much."

Los Angeles, Daenerys Studios.

Inside Simon's office.

The two parties in the conversation were Pat Kingsley, head of the public relations team of Simon and Weijia. The content of the discussion was still various public opinion manipulations after the release of the new annual US 400 Rich List on Monday.

Under Simon's personal guidance, Kingsley led the team to fully utilize a certain public opinion hedging technique in Simon's memory.

Public opinion hedging, or it can also be said that it is a public opinion pacifier, or Simon's inspiration from his memories. To put it simply, it is to use entertainment news to interfere with social news, distract the public's attention, and dilute the influence of events.

Many cases in my memory have proved that this method is very effective. Whenever there is any bad social news, there will always be one or two celebrities who have a scandal, like a sad game of grabbing the headlines, but the news that should be closely watched , are often unknowingly diluted and covered up.

The disadvantage is that it costs more stars.

Fortunately, as far as capital is concerned, there are a lot of stars, and this is not a problem.

Switching to the North American side of the new time and space, the materials used for hedging are actually much more abundant. In addition to entertainment news, it can also be political news, or political scandals. In the United States, politicians can also be the most indispensable consumable. Abandoned and remade is the same, a lot at a time.

Since her boss said it was okay, Pat Kingsley felt relieved and continued, "Next, Blockbuster will pass the anti-monopoly review, and the boss's family will move into the Westeros Building. I will try my best to suppress public opinion." At the same time, I also prepared some materials. The first one is about Leon. "Gangs of New York" will be released this week. It's also a promotion for "Gangs of New York"."

"Not bad, what else?"

"At the end of the month, the boss's family will be relocating. Correspondingly, I think the first launch of the International Space Station will attract more public attention, because it is the beginning of global space exploration in an era of peace."

Simon added: "In addition, you can also promote the 3G plan by the way."

"OK."

The two continued to discuss for more than ten minutes before seeing off Jinsili. It was past seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Simon left the office and came home from get off work. After getting into the car downstairs, he asked the girl next to him another matter: "How did Joseph and Newt talk?"

Newt Gingrich's resignation to take the blame for this year's disastrous defeat in the Republican midterm elections was actually forced.

It is easy to imagine, how could a 55-year-old veteran politician in his prime of life voluntarily give up the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives?

For this reason, on the day when he announced his resignation last Sunday, Newt Gingrich prepared a very radical farewell speech in advance, intending to scold the entire Republican Party, almost tantamount to publicly declaring a break with the Republican Party.

The turning point of the matter was that Joseph Schlapp, the head of political affairs of the Westeros system, contacted the other party actively, learned of the speech, and stopped it in advance.

Speaking of which, Newt Gingrich's background is somewhat similar to Clinton's. Although he is not the lowest-level red-necked like Clinton, his family background is also average. As a political activist, Gingrich started his career in politics at the age of 25. In the past 30 years, although he does not have the background of a political family like the Bush family and the Gore family, he has also accumulated a very rich political asset.

Without the intervention of the Westeros system, Gingrich's radical speech would not only break with the Republican Party, but also voluntarily give up the political assets he had accumulated for decades. a seat.

This is also Gingrich's helplessness.

After all, due to the lack of political background and the support of strong capital, he was forced to resign as the speaker of the House of Representatives. Even if he didn't vent his anger, it would be difficult for Gingrich to do anything in the future.

The contact with the Westeros system made Gingrich see hope again, and his attitude naturally reversed.

As for Simon's side, of course, it is still a consideration of betting on both sides. The Westeros system has developed to the current scale, and it is impossible to simply support one side. Moreover, Newt Gingrich, who is different from the complex roots of the Bush family and has a relatively shallow foundation and sufficient qualifications, happens to be a very high-quality wooing target.

Newt Gingrich also understood what it meant to be supported by the Westeros system, and sparks sparked from the first contact between the two sides. Gingrich showed his role quite neatly, using his connections to help Daenerys get rid of a potential twist in the Blockbuster merger.

For the Blockbuster merger, Washington had planned to let it go after the midterm elections after a settlement with various studios and rivals was reached last month. However, because of the disastrous defeat in the mid-term elections, the Republican Party plans to change the competition strategy that has not been doing business in the past few years, and intends to do something practical.

As predicted by the Westeros family think tank team, the Westeros system is an obvious target.

Blockbuster merger case bear the brunt.

The Republican Party had intended to speak out to block the acquisition, and also planned to launch a congressional investigation, while using it as a pretext to further attack the Clinton administration's recent

In 2009, large enterprises were allowed to merge too much, creating monopoly.

As a nomination certificate, Gingrich personally came forward and used his accumulated contacts to cooperate with the team of the Westeros system. After some operations, the top Republicans gave up the plan to use Blockbuster as a method.

Now that Gingrich has proved his worth, Simon is not stingy, and asks his team to personally tailor a plan for him to open a consulting company. After that, he will temporarily start a business and earn millions of dollars every year. At the same time, he will also There is no shortage of opportunities for a comeback.

Newt Gingrich is obviously not content to completely obey the arrangements of the Westeros system, and has been negotiating details with Joseph Schlapp recently.

Girl A heard Simon's question, took out a custom-made ipad to operate it, and handed it over: "This is the email Joseph sent just this afternoon. Gingrich still hopes that we can support him to run for president within 10 years."

Simon took the tablet and quickly browsed Joseph's email content, while shaking his head directly: "The appetite is a bit big. With a family background like Gore, he failed to sprint a few times. Newt wants to be president, unless he has Bill's luck, and , Within ten years... definitely impossible."

Girl A leaned slightly towards her boss, nodded, and echoed: "I think Joseph's proposal is good, the Secretary of State is mainly responsible for foreign affairs, and our future development will become more and more international, and federal foreign policy is often needed cooperation."

Simon shook his head slightly: "It's a good idea, the problem is, it's not easy."

Girl a also understands why her boss said that.

The first is whether Gingrich himself is competent.

The Westeros system pushes Gingrich up. If he doesn't do well, he will be dismissed in a year or two. Not only is he not good-looking, but he is also a waste of resources here.

Then there are external reasons.

The next few White House owners, if they are Democrats, will definitely not nominate a Republican Secretary of State. If it is the Republican Party, unless the other party is like Clinton who accidentally obtained a big position, the foundation is also shallow, and he can only appoint others, otherwise, he often has his own team.

Having been with her boss for so many years, even if Simon didn't say it clearly, Girl A probably understood that her boss would favor the Bush family for the next president.

The power of the Bush family is intertwined, which means that once they are in power, those in the cabinet who cheat on themselves may not be enough, let alone an outsider like Gingrich, who is still an important position like Secretary of State.

Thinking about this, girl A said: "Gingrich was highly valued by Reagan in the 1980s and participated in many foreign affairs. In addition, during the Bush era, Gingrich served as the minority whip of the House of Representatives and also dominated the control of the Panama Canal." Negotiation, then we will train in a targeted manner, Gingrich's diplomatic ability will not be a problem."

After girl a finished speaking, she glanced at her boss.

Simon nodded slightly, understanding the subtext of the female assistant, and the rest is whether he is willing to force it or not.

After deliberating for a while, seeing the car entering Cape Dumei Manor, Simon made up his mind and said, "As far as the Secretary of State is concerned, these arrangements also need to be changed. Ask Joe to tell Gingrich that we will give him a directorship in an oil company. That is, on the mcss side, ask Celia to give the other party a consultant title. In addition to increasing understanding in the energy and military fields, in the next two years, arrange more international exchange opportunities for Gingrich."

Girl A listened to her boss's order, while lowering her head and quickly wrote down the incident in her pocket memo.

After talking about things, the car also stopped at the square in front of Shell Villa.

Simon had dinner with his family, and set off for the city again at nine o'clock.

Today is November 12th.

Thursday.

The Thanksgiving schedule officially opens tomorrow.

Just yesterday, "Gangs of New York", the last of the batch of cooperative projects that MGM was in charge of, had its premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. In order to stagger the time, the premiere of Daenerys' "Clash of Heaven and Earth" is today at the Chinese Theater.

The premiere red carpet ceremony begins at 5 p.m., with screenings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., followed by an after-party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Simon did not participate in the premiere, but chose the after-party after the party. Apart from meeting with the project leader and getting feedback on the premiere, it was mainly another business. It happened when he watched the sample of "The Spy" with Lin Su in China. This time, I asked Zhou Xingxing from Hong Kong to talk about the film project.

Simon's work schedule is so full that he can only arrange it for leisure time in the evening.
