Chapter 858: A Little Thing
In the conference room, if you say that you hate Donn the most...... In addition to Lei Shidong and Ted Turner, it is also Howard Stringer, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures.
If it weren't for Donn's intervention, he might have garnered strong support from the Sony Group's board of directors to become Sony's next helmsman.
It's good now, Sony's entertainment business in the United States is doing very badly.
With the core electronics manufacturing industry declining and the entertainment industry not improving, there have even been proposals within Sony to divest the entertainment business.
Since the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, Sony has invested more than $12 billion in the entertainment industry, and as a result, the financial statements have been disappointing time and time again.
Ten years ago, Panasonic withdrew from the American entertainment industry.
Ten years later, Sony seems to be following in the footsteps of Panasonic.
Once this resolution goes into effect, Howard Stringer will lose his job.
Of course, there were enemies like Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Douglas in the room, but they were too low-level to speak at the conference.
So at the end of the meeting, it was only Howard Stringer who stepped up.
He brought up the old story again, and said with a smile: "If the Korean thing is done, you will be a hero in Hollywood, but ...... Then again, you have to give an explanation for Harvey Weinstein's affairs, and you can't just sit back and watch the world's media focus on the stain on Hollywood, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room was a little stiff.
Even Jack Valenty, who has always been a good old man, looked at him with a cold face and displeasure.
No matter how heavy it is!
Once South Korea's affairs are done, it will be related to the development pattern of Hollywood in the next few decades, which is a great thing for the present and the future!
What is Harvey Weinstein?
Big fart!
Lei Shidong, who was disheartened, suddenly became alive in his heart, he really didn't expect that someone would send a pillow when he was sleepy.
He originally gave up, and the general trend is unshakable!
Don's layout in South Korea has too much influence, not only for Hollywood, but also for the entire United States.
Unexpectedly, someone was willing to be the first bird!
Very good!
Here's your chance.
Lei Shidong found the right time and immediately said: "Well, this sentence is very reasonable, Stringer is really firm on the issue of principle, which is admirable." One is one, and two is two. Donn's layout in South Korea is indeed excellent, but that doesn't change his reckless and sloppy handling of Harvey Weinstein's case. The glamorous image of Hollywood is the result of the joint efforts of several generations of filmmakers over the past few decades, and the external impression of this group cannot be affected because of a certain person. ”
As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but want to laugh.
The brilliance of Hollywood only lies in handsome guys and beauties.
The entertainment industry all over the world is much the same.
Bright on the outside, dirty on the inside.
It's just that it was just everyone's speculation before, Harvey Weinstein's business...... It's just a solid proof.
In the media reports in the United States, there are many tips for entering the film and television industry, one of which is: no matter whether you are a man or a woman, and what your sexual orientation is, you must always be ready to provide *** to anyone who can open the way for your career.
Of course, some industry rules still have to be followed, otherwise there is a suspicion of defamation.
The author does not use the word "***", but uses a more euphemistic substitution, such as "to make it feel happy and fun in private". Unless you are a righteous gentleman who has been asleep for a hundred years, you must be able to understand the meaning.
Compared to Broadway, Hollywood is pretty good.
That's what New York's circle calls a mess.
For men, don't talk about "sister and brother love", even if the dramas of "mother and son love" are endless, it is impossible for the little fresh meat to be on top without dedication. For women, many captivity, slavery, and super-large-scale dramas are not strange.
Faced with questions about the Harvey Weinstein affair again, Don was much more at ease.
He didn't even rush to answer, but gave Howard Stringer a deep look, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
This person......
Woody Allen's matter, he hasn't fought back yet, this time it's going to do things again!
It doesn't matter, let's calculate this account slowly!
"Harvey Weinstein's ......" Donn deliberately pulled a long tone, paused, and shook his head, "It's just a trivial matter, I thought that such a high-level meeting would discuss some major matters about the future strategic landscape of Hollywood, but I didn't expect you to sympathize with Harvey Weinstein more." ”
Lei Shidong's face darkened, "It's not sympathy, it's questioning! You shouldn't use such drastic means." Now that the media around the world are attacking Hollywood, what are you going to do about it?"
"It's a trifle!"
Tang En waved his hand, looking unconcerned.
Ted Turner snorted coldly, "It's easy to say!"
Tang En said lightly: "Of course, with Mr. Turner's current influence in the industry, it is still very difficult to solve this trouble, after all, you have been fired by Time Warner, and you have no real power." I'm different, I'm the chairman of New Globe!"
Which pot is not opened, Ted Turner almost lost his breath.
Lei Shidong said in a deep voice: "Okay, then tell me, how to solve this matter?"
Tang En said contentedly: "Of course, it is to break the bigger news to divert the attention of the media around the world." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Never!"
Jack Valenty almost jumped again.
Many people didn't care about the rules of speaking, and rushed to express their positions, and Spielberg said: "Donn, you handled the Weinstein incident very correctly! The long pain is better than the short pain, and it is better to take it as soon as possible than to let him continue to poison Hollywood! I have always supported you!"
George Lucas also hurriedly said: "Harvey Weinstein's matter, in the final analysis, is caused by the unhealthy trends in Hollywood, which needs to be borne by all of us." Don, this matter has nothing to do with you, but you must not ferment again. ”
Milos Foreman said: "Hollywood's affairs must be handled by Hollywood people after all." Some people ...... Although they bought Hollywood's studios, they were outright laymen, and they had no right to interfere. ”
Francis Coppola frowned and said, "Donne, your contribution to Hollywood is obvious to everyone. Harvey Weinstein's ...... No one can say anything, he deserves it. However, it is enough to stop and not expand it further. ”
Don's temper is better known to everyone.
It's hard and smelly!
Don said that he wanted to break the bigger news, and as soon as this came out, everyone was shocked.
Not to mention these Hollywood directors, even Lei Shidong and Ted Turner were slightly stunned.
Done, what is this for?
Is this a great achievement in the layout of South Korea, so you dare to flip the table and threaten?
Shameless, right?
If you really flip the table...... Don will still be Donn, Lei Shidong and Ted Turner and the like, and they will completely become Hollywood's historical sinners!
This trick is too ruthless!
Lei Shidong's face was pale, Ted Turner's old face was gray, and Howard Stringer was also frightened and inexplicable, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.
Done's words immediately brought a craze for the meeting, and everyone rushed to express their support for Donne's handling of Harvey Weinstein, and some even criticized Lei Shidong and Ted Turner by name for being stubborn, movie laymen, and antiques.
There's so much dirt going on in Hollywood.
Especially some veteran filmmakers, which one is clean under the ass?
If it really angers Don and makes him flip the table and uncover everyone's old bottoms, then everyone is in danger and finished together!
Don saw everyone's reaction, and he was a little amused in his heart.
Grace and Grace ...... It seems that "Wei" is a little more powerful.
At the beginning, he proposed a Korean strategy, mainly to show grace to everyone.
The effect is good, and it has indeed been appreciated and praised by everyone.
However, then Don said that he wanted to expose bigger news, which really drove the climax of the conference, especially some veteran filmmakers who are in their old age. They have retired and are no longer making movies, and they are not afraid of offending big guys like Lei Shidong and Ted Turner.
I'm afraid of being exposed!
In Hollywood back then, the red sofa audition was a standard process and a necessary link.
Don has more than enough hole cards.
It's not even all on the horizon.
has completely dismantled the purpose of this MPAA conference, so that all filmmakers are dead set on his side.
With the combination of grace and power, Don En has already played perfectly.
"Okay, don't be nervous, I think you may have misunderstood, I don't mean Hollywood. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost off, and after most of the people present firmly expressed their support for themselves, Don pressed down his hand.
"The Harvey Weinstein affair had a lot of social impact and caused a certain amount of discrediting to Hollywood's external image, which I know well. However, as I said, this kind of cancer must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise after a long time, there will be even greater changes!
"Rather than waiting for him to be exposed and catch us all off guard, it's better to take Harvey Weinstein as soon as possible. Although he has a certain impact on Hollywood's image, he was taken down by Hollywood after all, which is a self-examination of Hollywood. In contrast, the Jimmy Savile incident in Britain is the real tragedy. ”
Don's words were immediately seconded by everyone.
Hollywood's self-examination revealed Harvey Weinstein, which is not too cheap after all. But the BBC is different, it was the Americans who exposed Jimmy Saville, and then created a very passive situation for the BBC.
In this sense, Donn's handling of the Harvey Weinstein incident did not take a sudden blow to Hollywood, and everyone was able to take public relations measures in an orderly manner.
Much better than the BBC situation.
"It's not Hollywood...... Donn, what do you mean?"
Jack Valenty looked suspicious.
What else could be a big deal to divert the media's attention away from Hollywood?
It can't be a political scandal in the White House, right?
Immediately, Jack Valenty shook his head.
Don wouldn't be so stupid.
