Chapter 1180: When the Great Tribulation Comes, Fly Separately

As soon as Tom Cruise, who was tired, heard the agent's words, he immediately threw all his tiredness out of the clouds.

One rolled over and got up, and Tom Cruise roared angrily: "How can they be so shameless!

The agent also blurted out angrily: "This must be the case!

“F*ck!”

At this moment, Tom Cruise was out of anger, completely forgetting that he originally wanted to leave Warner and Edward and hold a press conference alone to clear his name, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Warner now, which made him panic all of a sudden.

At this time, the agent hurriedly said: "Tom, Tom! Steady, must be steady! The most important thing for us now is to think of a solution, and there is not much time left for us!"

Tom Cruise was a little irritable and said, "What solution can there be now? Even if we have a press conference now, it's too late!"

The agent blurted out: "Call Meyer! Before the press conference starts, hurry up and negotiate with him! In any case, it is very excessive for him to throw us away now, if he can allow you to also participate in this press conference and speak with them, then we will not pursue their treacherous approach!"

Tom Cruise nodded and said, "That's all there is to it, I'll call Meyer now!"

The agent instructed again: "You hurry up and prepare now, I'll drive over to pick you up, let's go to Warner's press conference venue first, if you can't tell Meyer on the phone, then we will go directly to the venue, and then force him to accept our conditions!"

"OK!" Tom Cruise immediately reacted, how can such a big thing be guaranteed by only communicating on the phone, you still have to prepare for both!

At this moment, Meyer was in the lounge next to the Warner press conference hall, double-checking the content of the speech to be delivered at the press conference.

As the leader of Warner Bros., Meyer has seen countless big scenes, and he has experienced such a press conference I don't know how many times, except for the first time I was a little nervous, and every time after that, I was able to do it with ease, but today, he felt much more nervous than before the first press conference.

Meyer knew in his heart that the moment he waited for the media reporters to arrive and he walked out of this room, he was not the CEO of Warner, but one of the targets of the entire Internet.

In other words, he is a sinner of the American people.

And today, what you have to do is to clear your name, or reduce your guilt, this matter is very important to yourself, a little careless, you may lose everything.

Several other Warner Bros. executives are not as nervous as Meyer at the moment, after all, Meyer himself is responsible for this matter, they are only accompanied by a little joint responsibility, and the pressure and burden on their bodies are much lighter than Meyer.

Meyer's nervous legs kept shaking back and forth, and from time to time he put down the manuscript, his hands kneading his temples, and his nervousness was palpable.

That's when Meyer's phone rang.

The caller turned out to be Jiro Horita.

Meyer looked at the mobile phone that kept vibrating, and he was extremely irritable, Horita called at this time, and he must have known that he was going to develop a conference, so he made this call, and there was nothing good about it.

Thinking of this, Meyer was ready to ignore the phone, and let it ring there for a long time, and Meyer didn't pick up the phone.

The phone rang for a long time and finally quieted down, and the nerves that had been tense in Meyer's mind were slightly relaxed, but only a few seconds later, the phone rang again.

Or Jiro Horita.

Meyer was already a little disgusted in his heart, this Horitian, it was really ghostly, the most important thing was that he had this kind of magic, which could bring him a strong sense of oppression, even if he couldn't see him, he couldn't hear him talking, just his phone call, it was enough to make him restless.

The more this was the case, the stronger the resistance in Meyer's heart became, and when the phone rang five or six times, he was already a little unbearable, grabbed the phone, pressed the connect button and immediately said: "Mr. Horita, I tell you very formally, don't call me again!"

Jiro Horita's angry voice came: "Meyer, you bastard! You dare to hold a press conference without permission? Who gave you the guts?! What do you want to do? What do you want to say at the press conference?!"

Meyer didn't expect Horita to yell at him as soon as he came up, and he suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Horita, you have to make it clear, I'm not your employee, nor is I your lackey! I'm the CEO of Warner Bros., and I have the right to do what I want to do, and I have nothing to do with you! Do you think you're great if you're rich? This is the United States, not Japan!"

"Yaga Ya Road!" Horita Jiro roared hysterically: "Meyer, you don't want to know what the fate of angering me is! I'll give you one last offer, cancel the press conference, and we'll both clear up, otherwise, you will weigh the consequences yourself!"

Meyer was not in the least attracted by Horita's conditions, and he now knew very well what he was going to do.

He wants to completely get rid of this black hole of public opinion, so as not to be swallowed by this black hole, so he doesn't want to be clear with Horita, he wants to be clear with the people in the whole United States and even the world who are resistant to extreme bushido!

So, Meyer said coldly: "Horita, it is impossible to cancel the press conference, from now on, I don't want to have anything to do with you, as for the compensation clause stipulated in the contract, Warner will definitely abide by it, and it will be fulfilled as soon as possible, I have a contractual relationship with you, everything will be done according to the contract!"

Horita Jiro didn't expect Meyer to dare to ignore himself like this, and suddenly shouted: "Meyer! If you insist on holding a press conference, I will definitely ......make you regret it."

Before he could finish speaking, Meyer had already hung up the phone.

"Yaga Ya Road!" Horita Jiro angrily smashed his phone, his expression was extremely hideous, and his face seemed to be dyed, red and purple.

The assistant beside him hurriedly stepped forward and said with relief: "Your Excellency, you don't have to be too angry, it's just a little Meyer, we can let this guy evaporate from the world at any time!"

Jiro Horita gritted his teeth and said: "Meyer is now being watched by the whole world, if he just announced the suspension of filming "The Last Samurai" at the press conference this time, then the situation is not too fast, but if he shakes me and Sumitomo's shell company out in order to clear himself, it will have too much impact on us!"

Horita knows very well that Sumitomo's market has always been global, and if it is really revealed that he secretly invested in making a movie that celebrates the extreme spirit of bushido, the negative impact on the global scale will be too great, even if he is in an important position in the consortium, he must not poke such a basket for the consortium, otherwise, his position in the entire consortium will be greatly affected.

And Horita knows better in his heart that if Meyer just announced that he would stop making movies this time, then after this incident, he really had ten thousand ways for him to disappear directly from this world.

But on the other hand, if Meyer leaked himself, or if the consortium was involved, then he really had no way to deal with him, because at that time, even if Meyer died in a real accident, the whole world would definitely blame his death on his own head, how dare he provoke him?

Here, Meyer hung up Horita's phone, and his heart finally felt much more relaxed.

In fact, he has long wanted to scold this little man who is less than 1.6 meters tall, this person can't see the so-called humility and politeness of the Japanese, he is always full of arrogance, no one in his eyes, and commanding posture, which makes people disgusted.

I didn't dare to disobey him before, and I didn't even dare to talk to him loudly, but after finally letting go of scolding him this time, Meyer found that this feeling was really cool, and a bad breath came out, and sure enough, the whole person felt a lot more comfortable!

Just as he was reminiscing about the scene just now, the phone rang again, and this time, it was Tom Cruise who called.

Meyer didn't know that Tom Cruise had returned home, but he also guessed that Tom Cruise must have known that he was going to hold a press conference when he called him at this time.

So, Meyer decided not to answer his calls.

Not only was he not ready to answer his call, but Meyer didn't want to receive any more calls from anyone at this moment.

He just wants to finish this press conference well, get rid of all the burdens that can be thrown off, as for the others, just it, he is not God, how can he manage so many people.

So, Meyer did not hesitate to turn off his mobile phone, and he would never turn it on again before the press conference ended.

When the catastrophe came, neither he nor Warner could take care of anything else.

For Meyer, he just wants to solve the current problem as soon as possible, and at this time, his only appeal is to minimize his influence on Warner, and no one's interests can be sacrificed in order to achieve this goal.

Tom Cruise or Edward Zwick, these two people happen to be poor worms that Meyer can step on and climb up in the mire, and only by sacrificing them can Meyer and Warner get out of it to the greatest extent.

Thinking of this, Meyer thought of that damn Horita Jiro again.

Although it was very cool to scare this stupid X just now, Meyer also knew in his heart that if he offended Tom Cruise and Edward Zwick, he could not deal with them in the future, but Jiro Horita was too dangerous.

Jiro Horita's ability, wealth, status, and influence are incomparable to ordinary super-rich people, and he has an excessively powerful super consortium behind him, if a Fortune 500 company is an aircraft carrier formation, the consortium behind him is simply the entire US Navy.

Meyer couldn't help but wonder if he would be in any danger if he provoked him.
