Chapter 1183: What is True Success?

In the eyes of Edward Zwick, Meyer's only flaw is in Jiro Horita!

Didn't Meyer say that the film was led by Warner? He's lying!

The investor behind this movie is actually Jiro Horita!

Meyer and Horita Jiro's insider trading is also very clear to him, Horita Jiro gave all the money, but only used a few shell companies to account for 50%, and the remaining 50% of the share was all given to Warner!

In return, Meyer wants to help Jiro Horita make this movie out and make it a masterpiece, and on the other hand, he has to hide the truth for Jiro Horita!

Jiro Horita is not bad at all, and giving Warner 50% of the interest as a commission is nothing to him, all he wants is to achieve his goal.

Meyer deliberately concealed this information, and in Edward Zwick's view, he was trying to portray Warner's projection of the film as an accident and an unintentional mistake.

If the truth of the matter is known to the people, Meyer's lies will be self-defeating!

He took so many benefits of the Japanese to make this movie, and it was clear that he knew what the intention of the Japanese to invest in this movie was, he was simply a lackey who did things for money, and all this had been planned for a long time, and it was not an unintentional mistake at all!

Edward Zwick was now carried away by the rage, and he only thought about one thing: he must tear Meyer's hypocritical face! He must let the world know what kind of thing he is! Otherwise, when this press conference is over, all the pots will have to be carried by himself!

So, Edward Zwick pulled Tom Cruise aside and said his own solution: "Tom! We are waiting here, waiting for all the media to come out, and we will immediately tell the story that Warner took Japanese money to make this movie in front of all media reporters, only in this way can we break Meyer's lies, otherwise, you and I will be discredited in the future!"

Tom Cruise was a little moved at this moment!

Edward Zwick is right, if these are revealed, then all Meyer's lies will be shattered, and all the efforts he made today will be in vain, and more importantly, when his lies are exposed, the people will definitely be even more angry with him, and at that time, the media and the people will definitely aim all their firepower at him, and the situation between himself and Edward Zwick will be greatly alleviated.

Almost at the moment when he was about to promise him, Tom Cruise suddenly thought that if he shook out Jiro Horita, wouldn't it offend Jiro Horita to death?

As the core backbone of Vanity Fair, celebrities are much more sensitive to smell and nerves than directors in this regard, so you will always see a bunch of stars around Boss Ma and make a lot of money with him, but it is rare to see directors by his side, which is the huge difference brought about by different roles.

Tom Cruise didn't want to offend Jiro Horita.

However, Tom Cruise didn't want to be put on the side of Meyer just like that.

So, a thought came to Tom Cruise's mind.

It would be great if Edward Zwick himself broke the news about Jiro Horita, and if he exposed Jiro Horita and exposed Meyer's lies, the pressure on himself would be suddenly reduced a lot, and as long as he didn't expose Jiro Horita, he would naturally not offend him.

However, Tom Cruise was also wondering if Edward Zwick would agree if he were asked to break the news himself? If he didn't, wouldn't it be all in vain?

After thinking about it, Tom Cruise felt that he should have the technical content to deal with this matter.

How to deal with it in order to achieve his goal? must find a way to make Edward's anger stronger and make him lose his mind even more.

After a while, Tom Cruise had a plan, and said to Edward Zwick with a tired face: "Forget Edward, there is no need to be like Meyer, whatever he says, I am tired and don't want to continue to entangle." ”

Speaking of this, Tom Cruise sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm leaving, you'd better think about it, don't waste it here." ”

Edward Zwick had already regarded Tom Cruise as his only ally, but he didn't expect him to drop the chain at a critical moment, and suddenly became anxious, and blurted out: "Tom! How can you be so submissive?! You must know that this is our last chance to turn around! If we don't seize it, then we are really finished!"

Tom Cruise laughed at himself: "It's over, it's over, I'm tired, I want to rest, it's a big deal not to mix in this circle in the future, my current wealth is enough for me to live a carefree life for a lifetime." ”

After speaking, Tom Cruise waved his hand at him and said, "Whatever you want to go, I'll go." ”

Seeing Tom Cruise turn around and leave, Edward hurriedly shouted, "Tom, don't leave Tom!"

Tom Cruise didn't look back, beckoned his agent and assistant, and left the scene without hesitation, leaving Edward Zwick alone.

Edward Zwick was even more angry at this time! Finally found a way to break the situation, and waited for Tom Cruise to cooperate with him, but he didn't expect him to escape and become a deserter! Abandoned by his comrades at the critical moment, Edward Zwick was naturally extremely unhappy in his heart.

"Damn, bastard!" Edward Zwick scolded angrily as he looked in the direction Tom Cruise had left, and then said to himself, "You want to be a dog with a tail between it, I don't want to!"

Thinking of this, Edward Zwick has decided that even if you Tom Cruise give up, Lao Tzu will fight Meyer to the end!

……

Twenty minutes later, the press conference ended.

Meyer and other Warner executives left the venue and went straight back to the previous lounge, while the media reporters began to pack up their equipment and leave the venue in an orderly manner.

What they didn't expect was that outside the main entrance of the venue, Edward Zwick had been waiting for a long time.

When a large number of media reporters began to pour out, Edward Zwick appeared in time and immediately attracted the attention of countless media reporters.

At this time, Meyer has already expressed his attitude, and he is very sincere, so the next hot news that everyone wants to catch the most is about Edward Zwick and Tom Cruise.

Enraged, Edward Zwick beckoned all the media reporters to him, and then said indignantly: "Guys, don't be deceived by that liar Meyer!

As soon as he came up, he directly tore Meyer, and Edward Zwick's rhythm was swayed by angry emotions, and it was already fast to an extreme.

The media's favorite thing is celebrity tearing, and Edward Zwick came up to blame Meyer, making all the media reporters realize that a big news story was about to be born, so everyone asked why.

Edward Zwick's second sentence was shattering.

"The Last Samurai is not as simple as Meyer said, it is a script that Warner unintentionally chosen, the investment of $140 million in this film is all from the Japanese consortium, and Warner has not contributed a penny at all! Not only that, Meyer and Warner and the Japanese consortium also have an agreement, they help the Japanese consortium make the film well, and the Japanese consortium will give 50% of the share to Warner!"

This sentence completely detonated all media reporters!

This in itself is a movie that promotes the spirit of Japanese bushido, and if it is really invested by a Japanese consortium behind it, then this news is too explosive!

Edward Zwick was full of thoughts at this time to expose Meyer's lies, and under the questioning of the media, he shook out Jiro Horita almost without thinking, and after saying Jiro Horita, he was afraid that the media reporters would not believe him, and continued to break the news: " In fact, just before the script was leaked, Jiro Horita wanted to add another $60 million to the budget, if it weren't for the leak of the script, now this movie may have been raised to a super high budget of $200 million, and his purpose is very simple, that is, to promote the spirit of Japanese bushido through this movie!"

……

Edward Zwick's revelations were like detonating a nuclear bomb, which not only made the incident more attention, but also shook out all the shady scenes behind the scenes.

All of Meyer's efforts were ruined.

Jiro Horita, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, almost smashed his office completely!

was preparing to assassinate Meyer, and the assistant who blamed the Huaxia people was urgently called back, the situation that Horita Jiro was most afraid of happened, and now he suddenly became a live target for hundreds of millions of people, if Meier was killed again at this time, no one would believe that it was the Huaxia people who did it, and he must be the primary suspect.

Meyer also hated Edward Zwick like crazy, and he wanted to rush out and kill him immediately, all his efforts were in vain because of him, and not only that, because he lied in front of the people of the whole world, he was completely finished!

However, Meyer would not have imagined that because Edward Zwick blew up Jiro Horita, his own life was temporarily saved.

For a while, Jiro Horita became the object of all the media's reports, and countless materials about him began to be excavated little by little.

Although Li Mu guessed that there must be Japanese capital behind this movie, he didn't expect the other party to be such a powerful force, don't look at himself now, he seems to be worth more than 10 billion US dollars, but compared with Jiro Horita and the strength behind him, he is still far behind, and he is not on the same order of magnitude as them.

This gave Li Mu the feeling that it was like going to poke a hornet's nest, but he accidentally stabbed the wolves, and any beast in the wolf pack was not something he could contend with head-on.

But fortunately, he handled this matter very cleanly, and the wolves did not perceive themselves as a potential enemy.

Knowing that he had stabbed the wolves, Li Mu was not afraid, on the contrary, it gave him a greater encouragement, so that Li Mu clearly realized that his current success is actually far from being a real success, because his current self is not an opponent at all in front of the real wolves, and only when he can confront the wolves head-on and defeat the wolves completely, can it be regarded as real success!
