Chapter 767: The Real Presidential Envoy

The presidential envoy of the White House is here again.

Obviously, the specifications this time are much higher than the last time.

Last time, President George W. Bush sent a nephew named Zackery over and leveled ...... It's really not good, and I was coaxed by Tang En.

This time it's different.

Here come two envoys!

In addition to Zachary, who I saw last time, there was also a staff member named Rick Greenson, who was in his fifties, red-faced and thick-necked, and had typical Texan characteristics.

Unlike Zackery, Rick Greenson is a real envoy, a mid-level adviser to President George W. Bush's staff and the official title of "deputy assistant to the president," which is equivalent to a deputy minister.

Originally, he was planning a campaign strategy for President George W. Bush on the entire West Coast, moving among key government officials in various states, leaving and right, and holding important positions.

However, after hearing what Zachary said, he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately put down his work and went to the door to visit Don in person!

There is no doubt that this conversation will not be like the last time, for Ted Turner's bit of bullshit.

"Mr. Consultant, I don't know if you have any advice for coming here this time?"

Tang En warmly invited the two envoys into the meeting room and asked knowingly.

Rick Greenson is obviously much more sophisticated than Zachary, and his identity represents the White House and the president.

"Recently, Woody Allen's incident has caused a lot of uproar, which has had a negative impact on the country's public opinion environment. I'm curious about it, the one that happened back then...... Did the hell happen?"

Using Woody Allen's story as an introduction, it's really a good starting point.

Tang En smiled and said categorically: "Of course not!"

Rick Greenson glanced at him, "But I've heard...... They had in their hands a videotape taken when the girl was being abused. ”

"Tape?" Donn snorted, "To be honest, I haven't seen that tape, but I've seen it with a lot of professionals and given feedback." The tape was composited with complex post-processing and dozens of edits. Mr. Advisor, you are sure to know my profession, the falsification of the videotapes...... You can't fool the professionals. ”

Rick Greenson's eyes narrowed, "So...... New York Times report is not reliable?"

Don almost burst out laughing.

Is it necessary to be so cautious?

It's not too tiring to knock on the side.

But he also knows that Rick Greenson is a White House staff member with official titles, and he represents the president in everything he says and does.

In an election year, you have to be careful, careful, and careful!

It can't be like Zachary who just opened his mouth and came in.

Tang En can figure this out, so he will naturally cooperate, and said with a smile: "The distorted report of the New York Times is not once or twice. Recently, the New York Times had an awkward fall out with Disney. ”

Rick Greenson's eyes lit up slightly, but he pretended to be surprised, "And this?"

Don sighed and said, "Yes, Disney and New Universal hate the fake news of the New York Times. We're working together to put pressure on us, but there's something more powerful behind the New York Times that seems to be pushing the news, and there's nothing we can do. ”

What forces?

Democrats!

The spearhead is directed at Fahrenheit 911!

That's the key to Rick Greenson's coming over today!

Rick Greenson's face sank, and he said with a righteous face: "No organization or force can interfere with press freedom, let alone fake news!"

"Mr. Advisor, you're so right!" Don immediately seconded, and then changed his words, "But...... The media can't use the power of public opinion to interfere in the internal affairs of other companies, right?"

Rick Greenson feigned shock: "And this?"

Don was a little irritated by this way of talking, and simply said bluntly: "Fahrenheit 911 is a movie by Miramax, and Miramax is a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney. Whether this film is released or not is Disney's power, and other institutions and forces have no right to interfere!"

Rick Greenson frowned and glanced at Zachary beside him.

From his briefcase, he took out a small machine the size of a mobile phone and placed it between Donn and Rick Greenson.

Tang En's face suddenly changed, and he was a little annoyed.

It's a small signal jammer!

Who is this guarding against?

Depend on!

It was you who came and begged me, not me!

Rick Greenson hurriedly reassured and said gently, "Donn, you have to understand the difficulties of our work. Especially with the general election just around the corner, we have to be foolproof. ”

The corners of Tang En's mouth curled, he snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "Does this have anything to do with me?"

Rick Greenson smiled mysteriously, "There's always something to do with you." ”

"Oh?"

"The Woody Allen incident is too big. However, the official has not made a statement. Back then, Woody Allen's sexual assault case was investigated, but the results were inconclusive, and there was a lack of tangible evidence, and Mia Farrow's accusations were not established. ”

Donn nodded.

Woody Allen's incident, after the joint promotion of New Universal and Disney, Farrow's mother and daughter have stepped down to the moral high ground. More and more people began to support Woody Allen, a great Hollywood director.

However, the final terminator is missing.

If the official, prosecutor's office or the court can publish the results of the investigation and clarify that Woody Allen is not guilty, then this dispute will be over!

New Global Feminist Society, once again defending justice!

The conspiracy of those behind Farrow's mother and daughter will also fall apart.

This was a good quid pro quo for Donn.

Of course, that's not enough.

Rick Greenson leaned down, next to the signal jammer, and his voice was extremely low, "Fahrenheit 911, it must not be released, it will be very bad for Mr. President!"

Tang En shook his head again and again and sneered: "It's late!"

"Late?"

"Unfortunately, I just got the news from Disney yesterday that Harvey Weinstein bought the global distribution rights of Fahrenheit 911 in his own name. ”

Rick Greenson's face changed.

Zachary, who was beside him, also changed his face and said hurriedly: "Mr. Walker, can you stop it?"

Tang En shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult." If it's just Harvey Weinstein, with the strength of New Universal and Disney, he can naturally suppress it. But you've seen that he can even collude with the New York Times and dare to openly tear up his face with Disney, what does he rely on?"

Rick Greenson and Zachary's faces were very ugly.

In the past US presidential election, there was no shortage of cases in which the two parties smeared and slandered each other.

However, the influence of the film is too great.

Once this film is released that is not conducive to the Republican Party, I am afraid that this will really affect the re-election of President Bush Jr.!

And that's not all, Donn continued: "As far as I know, Harvey Weinstein is determined to make things bigger, and Fahrenheit 911 has been sent to the Cannes Film Festival and is on the screening list......"

"Isn't that a documentary?" said Zachary, with an incredulous expression.

Donn sneered, "What about documentaries? I'm not afraid to tell you that in the world of independent film, even I can't compare to Harvey Weinstein." Especially the major film festivals around the world, which are his home turf!"

Of course, this is not true.

Donn's status and influence could have long since surpassed the film industry.

And Harvey Weinstein is just a god in the independent film industry, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.

But, negotiating.

Only by creating the greatest panic for the other party can we strive for greater benefits.

Rick Greenson stared at Donn deeply, "You have a solution, right?"

Don sighed, "It's too late, the release of Fahrenheit 911 is inevitable. My hand can't reach Europe. ”

Rick Greenson naturally didn't believe it.

To say that Donn can't influence the outcome of the Oscar selection is normal. To say that he can't influence a declining European film festival...... That's.

Since the industrialization of Hollywood films, the era of European cinema and Hollywood going hand in hand is gone.

Not to mention Europe, filmmakers all over the world have knelt down for Hollywood.

Don said that even if "Fahrenheit 911" has been confirmed to be screened, the Cannes Organizing Committee will give him face and forcibly complete the file.

"I heard...... You don't have a good relationship with Harvey Weinstein?"

"I can't be friends with everybody. ”

Rick Greenson frowned, "You didn't think about doing anything to him?"

Don's face was indifferent, and his heart was cold.

Hum!

Of course I thought about it!

Not only do you have to do it, but you have to kill it directly!

Kick him out completely!

However, there is no rush to make a statement at the moment.

Rick Greenson continued: "The forces behind him, we deal with, including the New York Times. There is a lot less gray factor, and I believe that Harvey Weinstein and the New York Times will not be the opponent of New Universal and Disney. ”

Don smiled, "Mr. Advisor, you're not bullying me for being young, are you?"

Rick Greenson said, "This is my guarantee!"

"It doesn't make sense to me. Don shook his head disappruptively.

Rick Greenson lowered his voice to a very low level and whispered in his ear, "Woody Allen's matter, you shouldn't have found out who was behind it, right?"

"Huh?"

Don's eyes lit up.

"This kind of thing, even if you find a private detective, you can't find out. That stupid woman, I'm afraid she just has an eye for money. This requires a more elite investigation team and greater investigation authority. Rick Greenson said quietly.

Tang En smiled slightly, "Mr. Advisor, your methods are really powerful. Forget it, Harvey Weinstein...... I'll settle it for you! However, there is really nothing I can do about Fahrenheit 911. ”

"Really?"

"At least overseas distribution, I can't control it. ”

Rick Greenson groaned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, make sure the North American side is banned first! At least, wait until the presidential election." ”

"As long as the Democratic Party doesn't reach out, it's a trivial matter. ”

"Don't worry, we'll talk over there!"

Rick Greenson waved his hand and set the tone.
