Chapter 1171: The Illusion of a Blessing in Disguise!
From northern New Zealand to Los Angeles, it's a 20-hour journey at the earliest.
And Li Mu has been standing still at this time, and now he is only leaking the full plot of "The Last Samurai", and the next step is to escalate the situation is the real top priority, but Li Mu is not in a hurry at all.
To kill the enemy, you have to use a blunt knife to enjoy it!
From 8 p.m. in Los Angeles time until 9 a.m. the next morning, the only hot topic on the entire American Internet was the major news that the plot of the movie "The Last Samurai" was leaked.
At nine o'clock, YY listed this news as the front page headline in the news pop-up window in North America, YY is the largest and strongest information delivery platform on the Internet today, and YY's push officially pushed the influence of this leak to the peak.
YY's pop-up window was not instructed by Li Mu, after all, the YY English portal has already been launched, and its positioning itself is to be the largest, best, and fastest news portal, so putting such news on the front page is what they will inevitably do under their professionalism, not just YY, basically all the morning newspapers and headlines today are related to this incident.
At this moment, Edward was still on a flight from New Zealand to Los Angeles.
And Warner's CEO Meyer has not slept all night, if other films have such a problem, Meyer will definitely not be so nervous, but this time is different, this movie is not just a commercial film for Warner, there is a powerful Japanese chaebol behind it, if this movie is well made, the box office is high, and the influence is great, then Warner will inevitably have countless benefits in the future, but if this film is smashed, even if Warner will not suffer deliberate retaliation, at least it will lose a great opportunity to take off.
So in this context, Meyer can't help but be nervous.
I haven't even known how many cups of coffee I've drunk until now, and Meyer's nervousness has not been relieved in any way.
Just before he called Edward last night, the Japanese management had already scolded himself fiercely, and asked him to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that he could do everything possible to minimize the impact of this matter, and then the other party hung up the phone rudely and never called again.
Just as Meyer picked up another cup of coffee, his secretary hurriedly ran into the office and said in a panic: "Mr. Meyer, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Meyer was stunned, and the coffee almost spilled on his white shirt.
The secretary breathlessly said: "YY! YY has been pushed out! Our script leak has made headlines!"
"Smack......
Meyer's coffee fell out of his hand and slammed on the table, the hot coffee bursting out and making him look at him.
The burning pain made him can't help but scream, the secretary hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out a tissue to help him wipe it, Meyer's body was burned everywhere and the pain was unbearable, but he didn't care about the top management at all, just scolded angrily: "Damn YY!
The secretary wiped it and said, "Mr. Meyer, the Los Angeles Morning News has been on the front page at six o'clock, and YY's efficiency is not fast, because they always pop up the news at nine o'clock every morning......"
"But that's YY!" Meyer scolded angrily: "If it was the Los Angeles Morning News, I wouldn't bother to take care of it, but YY covers users all over the world!
The secretary saw Meyer's hatred and gritted his teeth, and suddenly didn't dare to answer again.
Meyer sent her away, took off her dirty shirt directly, the whole person was about to die of sorrow, damn Edward hasn't arrived yet, the matter is so big, how can I explain to the Japanese management?!, how can I satisfy the Japanese management?
Just when he didn't know what to do, the phone on his desk rang.
When the phone was connected, the secretary's voice came: "Mr. Meyer, Mr. Horita's phone is ...... on Line 2"
"Mr. Horita......" Meyer's scalp exploded, and he was a little panicked in an instant.
But after a few moments, Meyer still forced a word, "OK, take it in." ”
Switched to Line 2 to connect the phone, and without waiting for the other party to make a mistake first, Meyer hurriedly said in a low voice: "Mr. Horita, don't worry, I have already asked the director to rush back, I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly this time, and give you a satisfactory explanation!"
After saying this, Meyer waited for the other party's angry roar, this Horita scolded people, his voice was sharp and piercing, it was like a hell dog, which made people want to die, and now that the situation was escalating, Meyer expected that the other party must be even more annoyed at this moment.
But what Meyer never dreamed of was that this time the other party was not angry at all, but hummed and laughed a few times, and said in English with a very strong Japanese accent: "Meyer, my friend, don't worry so much, I am not ready to pursue this matter anymore, you can rest assured!"
Meyer was dumbfounded.
Yesterday, he almost scolded himself half-dead on the phone, but today he will not pursue it? Could it be that he took the wrong medicine?
Meyer couldn't help but cautiously ask, "Mr. Horita, are you really not going to pursue it?"
"No more pursuits. Horita laughed: " Meyer, now things are starting to develop in a better direction, the Chinese people have helped us a lot, since even YY has put this matter on the front page, it means that our film is now known to the whole world in North America, which is a good thing, although it will lose a certain proportion of the box office, but it has saved us a lot of publicity funds, so many people know about this movie, even if the box office conversion ratio is reduced, there is such a large base here, I believe that the box office will be higher than we expected in the future, and you know, my purpose is not the box office at all, but influenceNow we're halfway there! What a big surprise!"
Meyer didn't expect Horita to attach so much importance to influence, but in this way, as long as Horita is satisfied, it will be great, and he can breathe a sigh of relief.
So, Meyer asked Horita, "Mr. Horita, so why don't we continue shooting?"
"Of course, keep shooting! Tell everyone to shoot well and don't have any psychological burden!"
Meyer asked, "So how are we going to respond to this incident?"
Horita smiled, "That's the most important purpose of my call. ”
Saying that, Horita said: "After Edward arrives in Los Angeles, you will immediately organize a press conference, at the press conference, you will generously admit that the plot revealed on the Internet is true, and then tell reporters that you will not be affected by this incident, and you will definitely make this movie the best, and then I will let the major media behind the scenes, and when the press conference is over, our film is likely to be famous all over the world!"
Meyer almost burst into tears of excitement.
I didn't expect Horita to stop holding himself accountable and at fault in this matter because of YY's headlines, which made him instantly have a feeling of rebirth, and the boulder in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and hung up Horita's phone, he immediately got up and prepared to go home to rest, he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, and now he just wants to sleep well.
Out of the door, Meyer said to the secretary with an excited face: "Susan, two things, one is to communicate with the public relations department immediately, prepare to hold a press conference, the press conference is scheduled for ten o'clock tomorrow morning, let the public relations department invite all the media that can be invited, and in addition, if Edward arrives, tell him not to worry too much, let him rest first, wait for my call, I will meet him in the evening." ”
The secretary didn't know why Meyer was so happy all of a sudden, but he nodded very seriously and said, "Okay, Mr. Meyer, I'll arrange it." ”
……
In the past ten hours, Li Mu has been immersed in one thing.
He's working on a script that he's going to have fully developed in 24 hours.
At that time, he will pass hundreds of written graphic remarks into this script to prepare, and then let the script be ready to automatically hang up to the proxy server in the United States in a traceless way, and then as long as he clicks to run, the script will automatically send these prepared contents to the designated website one after another.
At the same time, Li Mu is also very curious about what kind of crisis public relations Warner will make.
In his opinion, there are only two ways:
The first is to jump out and deny the authenticity of the script, and then temporarily change the script of "The Last Samurai", but this possibility is basically remote.
Because this movie has been filming for more than two months, and this kind of movie with few special effects and grand scenes has spent a lot of time, energy, and money to make various preparations before the start of filming, with a budget of 140 million US dollars, I can't make sure that it has already gone out 80 or 90 million or even hundreds of millions, and now I will change the script, everything will have to start from scratch, how to play?
The second is to admit the authenticity of the script, but not make any changes to the script, and continue filming, which is the most likely in Li Mu's opinion.
Admitting the authenticity of the script, although it will lose part of the box office, it can avoid the trouble of changing the script and reshooting, and Li Mu has left them a lot of room to operate, and now the influence of the incident is constantly improving, as long as they seize this opportunity to win the favor of the audience, even if the script is leaked, there is a chance to be a blessing in disguise, after all, this matter has become an extremely hot topic, this is really a good opportunity for publicity and promotion.
In Li Mu's planning, the best outcome is that Warner stands up and admits that the leaked plot is real, because as long as they admit that the plot is true, the series of nuclear weapons attacks behind them can be targeted.
Otherwise, if they don't admit that the script is true, and they want to attack them with ideologies, national nationalist arguments, it will be really difficult to stand.
However, Li Mu firmly believes that Warner will definitely fall into the trap he laid, he has personally planned so many big situations, and he has never made a mistake!
