Chapter 353: The sequelae of "Cut Throat Island".

Previous Chapter

Los Angeles, at the end of Sunset Boulevard, is a stretch of buildings.

Although it has an elegant environment and many maids, it has a simple name, just a "club".

However, those who are familiar with Los Angeles know that the barrier to entry to this club is very high.

Ordinary billionaires, Hollywood superstars, are not qualified to enter at all.

The real target here is some of the top politicians and America's megamedia moguls.

At this time, two of these tycoons, Viacom's Lei Shidong and Disney's Eisner, were walking out the door with serious expressions.

They tightened their trench coats in unison, looked at each other again, and nodded, as if they had made some decision.

After that, the two opened the car door separately and left without saying a word.

"Heh, for the sake of "Cut Throat Island", break the unspoken rules?" Eisner sat in the car, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself disdainfully.

He had thought that Bronfman Sr., the president of the World Jewish Association, had come to Los Angeles to persuade his son to unite the Jewish forces in Hollywood.

Unexpectedly, the old man came from Canada, and only vaguely reminded himself and Lei Shidong: Everyone is Jewish, don't break the unspoken rules.

In the face of this accusation, the two media tycoons were a little confused, "The Bronfman family is so close to Columbia, which is controlled by the book?"

Then, Bronfman, a rude junior, jumped out and said something about film critics and "Cut Throat Island".

And the two media tycoons are even more puzzled, because they really haven't done anything!

"You have always been the only one who frames others, when is it the turn of others to frame yourself?"

But the old Bronfman's prestige among the Jews is too high, including the war in Israel and the global hunt for the remnants of the Third Reich, there is the shadow of this old man behind him.

Therefore, the two media tycoons could only suppress the displeasure in their hearts and explain to each other seriously.

Unexpectedly, Bronfman Jr. took out his mobile phone and talked to several film critics.

They actually admitted that it was Viacom and Disney who contacted the public relations fee.

To be honest, Eisner and Lei Shidong really experienced what it was like for the Los Angeles Police Department to be in the midst of a riot.

"Mother-fucker!", His Majesty the Emperor of Disney, is so angry that he almost bursts into a foul mouth!

But after calming down, he began to analyze it carefully.

If "Cut Throat" fails, or if Universal, Viacom, and Disney have conflicts, who will benefit in the end.

After contacting several "own people", the two media tycoons also ruled out the possibility that several other media groups were responsible.

So...

Lei Shidong suggested a possibility that the best-selling author had gotten some news and therefore carried out this operation.

Is its purpose just to make Universal more determined to make the film adaptation?

Considering the close relationship between young Asians and film critics, Eisner agrees with this speculation.

Old Bronfman faced the two of them, and just took out a few pages of documents with a calm face, "This is all the funds that the young man can mobilize, and the data is absolutely accurate." ”

This is not a speculation like Time magazine, but it was collected by Mr. Madoff, the chairman of the NASDAQ, and the Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers through internal channels. ”

According to the data, he has not had a large-scale fund mobilization recently. ”

"And the funds needed to buy all the film critics in the United States should be at least tens of millions. ”

"You're all Hollywood insiders, so you should be pretty clear about how much the production cost of movie promotion is, right?"

Lei Shidong and Eisner picked up the documents and looked at them carefully, and found that this was indeed the case.

But...

Who else has a motive to do this?

You know, this amount of money is not a small amount for anyone.

It's not like someone has so much money that they don't have a place to spend it, right?

"Since it's not Viacom or Disney," Bronfman Jr. looked at the two tycoons, "then, when Universal comes to deal with those film critics, can they not interfere." ”

Eisner and Lei Shidong shook their heads firmly, "We still need these people for our future movie promotion." ”

"Although this matter has nothing to do with us, the critics think it is Disney and Viacom. ”

"If you don't pay attention to it, then the movies of the two families in the future will only get negative reviews. ”

Looking at the gloomy expressions of the Bronfman father and son, Lei Shidong and Eisner understood that this matter had collapsed.

"Humph!" Eisner shoved the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with water, "bribing film critics?"

Now that the talks have collapsed, let's teach the wine tycoons a lesson.

He understood that with the prestige of the elder Bronfman, in the end, there would still be heavyweights on both sides to mediate.

As for the terms on which a settlement can be reached, it depends on the muscles of both sides.

"Contact the legal team that negotiated with DreamWorks and change the mind. Eisner thought for a moment and instructed his assistant, "The project of "Saving Private Ryan" is no longer a pretense and can be put on the agenda. ”

The movie that is most likely to win the high box office after Universal is the IP of "Jurassic Park".

"Spielberg should care more about his dream factory than making money for the world, right?" said Eisner in a low voice.

......

Similar to the two media tycoons, Wang gradually is also confused now.

It's just that Lei Shidong and Eisner are wondering who is willing to spend so much money to frame Disney and Viacom.

Wang gradually pondered why the Jewish consortium had come to investigate his own financial flows.

Jew...

Could it be Lei Shidong?

"King," Gisele Bundchen raised his head, ruffling his blonde hair, "what is on your mind?"

Wang gradually smiled lightly and pulled the kneeling Brazilian girl up.

"I'm a little tired today, pour me a glass of milk, let's rest early. ”

"Oh. Giselle obediently opened the bedroom door and walked out a little disappointed.

She looked at her outfit suspiciously, "Strappy high heels, black stockings, Wang should like it very much..."

And Wang gradually has no energy to think about it now, and his own words made Miss Supermodel begin to doubt her charm.

He's now frantically turning his brain around to figure out what kind of financial holes he has.

"Twitter is a listed company and spends all the money of investors, so it is very formal. ”

In order to avoid trouble, he can be called law-abiding, and there is certainly no problem.

The only possible flaw is that the website will have operating expenses and a large number of accounts of charitable funds to achieve the purpose of tax avoidance.

But...

That's what big companies in the United States do!

"It's just the media industry, why do you have to use political means?" Wang gradually sighed helplessly and began to think about how to deal with it.

In fact, with the nature of Internet companies, it is even more necessary to find a way to publicize Vice President Gore.

But there is little contact between the two sides, and the Democrats certainly prefer the media moguls...

He sighed and took out his phone, "Lyman, can you help me contact the Governor of Texas, Mr. Bush Jr.?"
