Edward flew all the way in fear, perfectly interpreting an old Chinese saying from another angle: the hometown is more timid.

I have to be scared!

He was really afraid that because of this major mistake, he would mess up the movie and his career.

In all fairness, Edward felt that 10 million percent of the leaks in the script came from insiders, and whether or not they could find out in the end, it was caused by his own mismanagement.

The investment of 140 million US dollars was given to himself, and all the investment plans were leaked out while playing, who would dare to invest money to make a movie in the future?

If Warner blocks himself in anger, I'm afraid that no one in the whole of Hollywood will pull him......

When the plane landed in Los Angeles, Edward really wanted to lie down in the table and chair and cry, anxious, painful, frightened, and apprehensive...... All kinds of negative emotions lingered in Edward's heart, making his whole body feel like he was being pressed against his chest by a boulder, and it was even difficult to breathe.

After getting off the plane, he hurriedly took a taxi to the company, and in the taxi, he saw today's newspaper, and the entire front page except for the huge headline that read "The Last Samurai Script Leaked", there was only a huge photo, this photo was synthesized by the media itself, with Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe and other actors, looking imposing.

This discovery made Edward even more devastated, fearing that Meyer would fight with him.

When he arrived at the company, Edward received reassuring glances from all his colleagues, and a PR manager who knew him well told him: "Edward, the boss is going to hold a press conference tomorrow, you must cheer up!"

Edward was going crazy.

Press conference, is it so soon that you are going to let yourself come out and take the blame?

Terrified, he walked all the way to Meyer's office door.

When the secretary outside saw him, he smiled and said, "Edward, you're finally back!"

Edward couldn't help but be annoyed, damn, Lao Tzu stabbed the big basket, why are you laughing?

Distraught, Edward asked him angrily, "Is the boss there?" ”

The secretary smiled: "Mr. Meyer is not here, but let me tell you when he leaves in the morning, so that you don't have to worry, take a good rest first, and he will interview you in the evening." ”

Edward was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say? Mr. Meyer told me not to worry?"

"Yes. The secretary explained: "Mr. Meyer was very happy when he left, and it seems that this matter did not bother him too much, so he deliberately instructed me to tell you those words." ”

Confused, Edward did not dare to let his guard down immediately, but returned to his home in Los Angeles with trepidation, waiting for Meyer's call.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Meyer called and immediately invited Edward to his home to talk about tomorrow's press conference, after asking if he had arrived in Los Angeles.

Edward hurried over, nervous as a three-year-old the moment he saw Meyer.

Unexpectedly, Meyer warmly invited him to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and took the initiative to hand himself a cigar, and said with a smile: "Edward, you are a blessing in disguise this time! Now the leak of the script has become a hot spot among the hot spots, and even YY has reported it, and the exposure of the film has reached its peak all of a sudden, and the Japanese investors are very satisfied with it!"

Edward asked incredulously, "Mr. Meyer, why are the Japanese investors satisfied with this?"

Meyer laughed: "What they care about is exposure and influence, the box office is not so important, and now that the movie is not finished, the fame is already so big, of course they are very satisfied." ”

As he spoke, Meyer patted Edward on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You must be worried about coming back, right?"

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, the boulder in his heart seemed to be removed in an instant, and tears of excitement were about to flow out, but he still said with palpitations: "Mr. Meyer, only God knows how tormented it is for me to come back! God forbid, otherwise, I don't know how to face you and the management ......"

Meyer laughed and said with relief: "Your luck is really good, if things continue to develop like this this time, I am afraid that this movie will become the hottest topic of the year, and when the movie is released in the future, it will inevitably cause a huge sensation!"

Edward nodded again and again, and promised: "Mr. Meyer, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to make this movie well!"

Meyer nodded and smiled, "I believe in your strength!"

After speaking, Meyer said: "Let's take a good look at tomorrow's press conference, do a good job of the press conference, and then you can set off to rush back to continue filming." ”

……

Warner's press conference attracted almost all of the mainstream media in the United States.

Yesterday's YY push made this script leak incident a super hot spot that the whole of North America is paying attention to, and these media will naturally not miss the opportunity to track and report on this super hot spot.

In fact, as long as you pay a little attention to the news industry, you will find that this industry is very similar to the people making money, the poorer the person, the slower the speed of making money, there is no opportunity, even if there is, it is difficult to grasp it; and the richer you are, the faster you can make money, and some opportunities will even come to your door, so it leads to the poorer people are, the poorer they are, and the richer they are, the richer they are, the richer they are.

The news industry is exactly the same, some news is even too tired to stir up, and all the media turn a deaf ear to it; but some news is just a little bit and the more it burns, and countless people spontaneously take the initiative to come in and add fuel to the fire.

The news of the leak of the script of "The Last Samurai" is like the latter, because of the presence of Tom Cruise, a big star, it can quickly become popular in a very short period of time, and countless media have come in to assist.

At the press conference, Meyer and Edward couldn't laugh out loud in the face of countless media guns, but the two still held back the excitement in their hearts, and their faces were full of anger to admit the authenticity of the leaked content in front of the media, and at the same time strongly condemned the shameless behavior of the leaker.

As the CEO, Meyer seemed to be furious in front of the media and said: "The leak of the script of "The Last Samurai" is the most disgusting and dirty incident that has happened in Hollywood in recent years, although we don't know who leaked the absolutely confidential script, but it is certain that the other party did this to interfere with the filming of this movie, he must want us to mess up, must want us to temporarily modify the script or stop filming indefinitely." ”

Speaking of this, Meyer said impassionedly: "However, I want to solemnly promise to all the media and the audience at this press conference today: Although the script of the movie "The Last Samurai" has been leaked, please believe that Warner will abandon all distractions, continue to support the work of Edward and the entire crew, and will definitely complete the filming of this movie as planned!"

After saying this, Meyer paused, stretched out his right index finger and gestured to the sky, and shouted: "At the same time, I want to tell that shameless leaker: Do you think you can make Warner submit? Dream! I tell you! Warner will never change the script temporarily, will never stop filming, and will never bow to a scum like you! At the same time, Warner will definitely investigate this leak case to the end, will definitely dig you out, and make you pay!"

Meyer's performance at the press conference, in the eyes of Americans, is really "have-balls", in layman's terms, it is to bring seeds, and this attitude has also won him a lot of favor.

Subsequently, it was time for director Edward's performance.

In front of the media reporters, Edward first condemned the leaker's behavior, and after an angry condemnation, he said excitedly: "No matter how others put cold arrows in the back, I will never give up this great film, on behalf of the crew of "The Last Samurai", I solemnly promise to the audience all over the world that our entire crew will put aside this unexpected interference, and make this great movie well wholeheartedly, and give all audiences a satisfactory answer!"

Speaking of this, Edward paused and said extremely hard: "At the end of this year, "The Last Samurai" will be with you!"

The press conference was held very successfully, and Meyer instructed Warner's public relations to privately give all the reporters present a very sincere "carriage fee", in exchange for the direction of media coverage to be close to their core needs, so after the press conference, almost all the media reporters present immediately began to write, and every reporter couldn't help but sigh that Warner's crisis public relations is really powerful, and this leak was thought to have a great impact on Warner, but Warner became the biggest beneficiary.

Just when the media reporters were busy writing, Li Mu learned about the entire press conference through the YY English portal, and after confirming the authenticity of Warner and Edward's admission of the leaked script, his real counterattack began to be officially staged!

The scripts that had been written began to run, and a large amount of content that had been edited in advance by Li Mu began to be published one after another on some websites with huge traffic in the United States.

In Tom Cruise's fan gathering place, someone posted a post titled "Look, this is the extreme bushido spirit that Tom Cruise highly admires", the title of this post has a very big attraction to Tom Cruise's fans, many people know that Tom Cruise is obsessed with Japanese culture, and this post seems to be to give everyone a good science about the Japanese bushido spirit?

And when these fans clicked in with the mentality of learning, the first black and white photo made countless fans stunned!

This is a real historical picture, in which the body of an American officer is impressive, and most importantly, his internal organs have been hollowed out, and his leg muscles have been cut to the bones......

The first sentence under the picture is: In September 1944, the American bomber pilots were captured by the Japanese on the Chichijima Islands, except for George Bushi, who later became president, who escaped by chance, the other eight pilots were beheaded by the Japanese soldiers who believed in the extreme spirit of bushido, and their bodies were cooked by the Japanese army......

This was followed by a black-and-white photograph of a U.S. warship capsizing on fire, and a black-and-white photograph of a U.S. Navy soldier jumping from a ship into the sea covered in flames.

The following text describes: In 1944, in order to resist the attack of the U.S. Navy, the Japanese army at the end of the crossbow used the extreme bushido spirit to inspire pilots to fly planes and ram into U.S. warships.

Later, there is a photograph of countless American POWs being driven by Japanese armed with katanas and rifles, and the American POWs in the photos are all scrawny and resemble Jewish refugees in Nazi concentration camps;

The accompanying text description is: In 1942, the American and Philippine defenders on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines fought fiercely with the Japanese army for four months, and finally surrendered to Japan because of the lack of materials and support, and nearly 80,000 soldiers surrendered to Japan, and these 80,000 people were forcibly escorted to the prisoner of war camp 160 kilometers away, and on the 160 kilometers of the road, the Japanese army who believed in the extreme spirit of bushido stabbed and shot the prisoners of war to death, and 15,000 prisoners of war died on the 160-kilometer journey!

Then there is a photo reported by the Japanese "Tokyo Daily News" during World War II, showing two Japanese officers armed with katanas, in addition to a black-and-white photo of Japanese soldiers wielding a katana and cutting off the head of an ordinary citizen;

The following text description is: In 1937, two Japanese invading Japanese soldiers who believed in the extreme spirit of bushido conducted a "competition" in China without humanity, they called it "100 people beheaded", the so-called "100 people beheaded" meaning, who first killed 100 innocent Chinese people with a katana, who was the winner of this "competition", and the first photo was the official report of the Japanese "Tokyo Daily News" on this demon competition at that time!

Subsequently, there were many old photos from the war period, including photos of Japanese soldiers beheading American prisoners of war, photos of Japanese soldiers cutting off the heads of ordinary people and showing off their military might, photos of Japanese soldiers stabbing prisoners of war with bayonets, and photos of Japanese soldiers burying civilians and prisoners of war alive......

After a large number of bloody photographs, the author of the post asked: "After seeing these pictures, please tell me, what is the difference between the extreme spirit of bushido and the dehumanizing Nazism? What are the intentions of those who sing the praises of the extreme spirit of bushido? I don't understand why there are people with a conscience who have spurned the Nazis when they have been spurned by people all over the world to sing the praises of another so-called spirit that is comparable to the Nazis?"

Subsequently, the author was extremely sharp and pointed the finger directly at Tom Cruise, the first actor of "The Last Samurai":

"Tom Cruise, you have been openly saying on various occasions that you like Japanese culture and the spirit of bushido, and even now you have taken over a movie about samurai, and you even keep saying to the media that you have been preparing for this movie for two whole years, if it weren't for the leak of the script of this movie, we wouldn't even know that this is a brainwashing film that strives to glorify the extreme spirit of bushido!

I want to ask you, as an American, do you really know nothing about the history of decades ago?

Don't you know how many innocent Americans and how many innocent other people have been brutally slaughtered by this kind of 'spiritual' slaughter?!

Don't you know how much death and suffering this 'spirit' has brought to people all over the world?!

And you, in order to make money, brazenly put on the armor that highlights the bushido, pick up the long knife of the bushido, wash the floor and stand for this extreme bushido spirit!

I want to ask you, when you see these pictures, when you learn about these deeds, when you see those helpless and frightened eyes, don't you feel ashamed of the heart in your chest?"
