In a conference room at LVMH's headquarters in Paris, France, board members are gathering to discuss how to resolve the turmoil caused by Sharon Stone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A balding middle-aged man suggested: "Let Dior China announce that it will immediately revoke and stop any image advertising, marketing and commercial activities related to Sharon Stone, give an explanation to the Chinese people, and continue the contract with Sharon Stone overseas." Wait until the contract ends, depending on the situation. ”

Delfina frowned and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, yesterday Fly's president Zhang Ran called me to protest, and he has already said that he will boycott any works related to Sharon Stone in the future." He has a good relationship with the fashion industry, this matter is impossible to hide from him, it is impossible to cover up the past, we have no choice but to terminate the contract with Sharon Stone!"

"We are LVMH, how can we bow our heads because of a Chinese man?" said a director dissatisfied, "and I don't think the boycott of netizens will have an impact on Dior's sales in China, after all, Dior is positioned as a high-end person, and it is only the general public who posts on the Internet claiming to boycott it." ”

Delfina said coldly: "Mr. Pierre, have you ever seen the TV report of the earthquake in China? The cohesion shown by the Chinese in the face of the disaster is shocking, not weaker than the Jews at all, do you think what the consequences would be if Sharon Stone said this? We need the Chinese market, with the outbreak of the economic crisis, the scale of luxury consumption in the United States, Dongying, and Europe are declining, although China is not immune to the impact of the global economic crisis, but its impact is much lower than that of other countries, it is still growing at a high speed, the Chinese market is very important to us, we do not need to risk for Sharon Stone!"

Bernard Arnault looked at Delfina and nodded slightly, her daughter not only inherited her business acumen, but also inherited her calmness and decisiveness, and LVHM Group will rely on her to carry forward in the future: "Is there a legal problem with the termination of the contract with Sharon Stone?"

Delfina laughed: "Sharon Stone loves to get into trouble, so we have a breach clause in the endorsement contract, and we have the right to terminate the contract as long as her words and actions cause harm to Dior's brand." Now that Sharon Stone's words and actions have had a negative impact on the company and brand image, it is completely legal for us to terminate the contract!"

Bernard made a direct decision: "In this case, then terminate the contract with Sharon Stone as soon as possible, this is the fault she caused, and it should not be borne by Dior." Delphina, you'll take care of this matter!"

After the plane stopped at Los Angeles International Airport, Sharon Stone walked out of the VIP passage with a helper, her face was ugly, didn't she just say a few words about Chinese, why did everyone seem to have made some big mistake?

At this moment, Sharon Stone's agent Karen Silas greeted him: "Ms. Sharon Stone, there is very unfortunate news for you, I have received a notice from Dior that due to the great negative impact of your remarks on Dior's image, Dior will terminate your endorsement contract. ”

"What!" Sharon Stone couldn't believe her ears, Dior's endorsement contract can bring her 5 million income a year, and more importantly, a luxury like Dior allows her to gain enough exposure and maintain her high-end image, as soon as Dior's endorsement is removed, her career will fall to the bottom, she screamed, "Why? I have a contract with Dior, how can they do this? They are in breach of contract!"

Karen talked helplessly, and when the matter was fermenting, she told Sharon Stone and quickly apologized. But Sharon Stone refused, she even said, you know me very well, I will not apologize, I will definitely not apologize to a group of Qing Guokees! At that time, Karen knew that things would become like this, the current China is not the China of twenty years ago, and now even the big Hollywood companies have to please the Chinese!

Seeing that Karen was silent, Sharon Stone roared, "Damn, are you dumb?"

Karen sighed and said: "Dior is not in breach of contract, according to the contract, if your words and deeds cause damage to Dior's image, then they have the right to terminate the contract." In the last two days, China has set off a wave of boycotts of Dior, and Dior's performance has been affected, so they have not defaulted. She said helplessly: "This matter is too big! Half of the fashion circle will boycott you, Anna Wintour, Karin Lofeld, Galliano, etc. have all come forward, and they all think that your remarks are anti-human, and from now on, I am afraid that you will be insulated from the fashion circle!"

Sharon Stone was stunned, she just said a few words about the Chinese, and did not offend these people, why did she target me? She was both aggrieved and puzzled, and asked: "Why is this? Many celebrities have scolded China and satirized the Chinese, they are all fine, why are they targeting me?"

Karen was very helpless in her heart, Sharon Stone really didn't have any brains, sure enough, just like Bai Yunfei said, her mind was full of sand, and she still didn't know what she was wrong with, so she sighed and said: "The current China is not the China of 20 years ago, in the case of the outbreak of the financial crisis, the growth of the performance of luxury groups can only count on China! Those words of yours are really stupid!"

Sharon Stone screamed: "Enough, you are my agent, you should be on my side! What if you offend those Qing Guokees, I am a Hollywood star, I don't believe their hands can reach into Hollywood!"

Karen smiled bitterly: "There is also bad news for you, the crew of the movie "Five Dollars a Day" and "Blood Street" have proposed to terminate the contract, and I am afraid it will be difficult for the crew to ask you to act in the future!"

Sharon Stone was stunned and asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"

Karen looked at Sharon Stone with pity and said in a slightly mocking tone, "You're mistaken, their hands have indeed reached out to Hollywood." Just last night, Netflix issued a statement that all the works you starred in have been taken offline, and they will not release any films and television works related to you in the future. On top of that, Lionsgate announced a boycott of you, and Fox also announced a boycott of you!"

Sharon Stone has long been out of fashion in the United States, and now mainly acts in B-grade films and small-budget literary films, which basically have little hope at the box office, and their income mainly depends on DVDs and TV on demand. For example, after Nicolas Cage became the king of bad movies, the box office of the movies starring him was pitiful, and even some movies had zero box office, but he was able to shoot them one after another, relying on income such as DVDs and TV on demand.

After Netflix acquired Blockbuster, it has more than 10 million users, thousands of stores, and occupies 50% of the entire DVD market in North America.

In this case, the best solution is to give up Sharon Stone and play the actor instead.

Sharance informed what the DVD market means to herself, if there is no DVD market, then for the film industry, she is worthless garbage, and her film career can be said to be over, she said unwillingly: "But, why?"

Karen sighed and said, "Netflix's boss Zhang Ran's hometown is in the earthquake-stricken area, he was born and raised there, and you said such remarks, you should be able to imagine how angry he will be." Lionsgate and News Corp. have a lot of cooperation with Zhang Ran, and News Corp.'s boss lady Deng Wendi is also Chinese, so it's too normal for them to boycott you. Remember the girl who threw you with wine last night? That was Zhang Ran's girlfriend, if you apologized at the time, maybe the matter could be reversed, but you repeated that terrible remark, and now even if you apologize, it's too late, they can't forgive you!"

At this moment, Sharon Stone was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person fell into a state of complete stupor.

In this moment, she finally realized how wrong she was.

After a while, Sharon Stone came to his senses: "So what do I do now?"

Karen shook her head: "You really should think about what to do next, but this has nothing to do with me, I came to resign from you today, our contract ends here, and I don't want to waste time on someone whose career as an actor is completely broken." Don't you like to talk about retribution? Maybe this is your retribution! Goodbye!" She said without looking at Sharon Stone, and drifted away.

Sharon Stone felt like she had fallen into an ice cave, chills, the fashion industry was over, the film and television industry was finished, she was completely finished! After a while, she went crazy to her assistant: "Get out! Get out!"

Just when the news of Sharon Stone Airport spilled appeared in the American media, Dior issued a statement on his official website: "In view of the social adverse reaction caused by Sharon Stone's inappropriate remarks recently, Dior has now decided to immediately withdraw and stop any image advertising, marketing and commercial activities related to Sharon Stone." We express our condolences to those who lost their lives in the earthquake and express our deep sympathy and condolences to the people in the affected areas. We reaffirm our long-term commitment to the Chinese market and our full support for the reconstruction of the affected areas!"

Two days later, a desperate Sharon Stone sent a letter of apology, in which she said: "There have been many reports of my remarks at Cannes lately, and I just want to put an end to all misunderstandings. Yes, I said the wrong thing, I didn't make a more regrettable mistake, it was unintentional, I apologize, these words are in no way meant to hurt anyone. ”

In addition, she also went to Zhang Ran's Fly account to apologize: "I am deeply sorry and sad for the harm my remarks have caused to you, I really didn't want to hurt anyone, this is an unintentional mistake, please forgive me!"

Before Sharon Stone issued an apology letter, many netizens said: "This time, we refuse to apologize, we will not forgive." Zhang Ran also thinks the same, they are all adults, and they must be responsible for their words and deeds, he ignored Sharon Stone, and the boycott of Sharon Stone will be carried out to the end.

At this point, Zhang Ran felt that he should learn from the Jews.

Mel Gibson and Galliano were drunk and said anti-Semitic things, especially Galliano, who got drunk and had a quarrel with a Jewish man and woman, and scolded each other, however, the whole of the Jews united and used their own power to ban Mel Gibson for eight years and Galliano for four years. It is precisely because the Jews are united and ruthless enough that no one dares to insult them easily.

The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, The Hollywood Reporter and other media outlets have reported on the incident, and almost all of them believe that Sharon Stone's remarks are ill-conceived. Australia's Sun Herald also put a large line under a picture of Sharon Stone with her head down: "Stone is wrong."

In Zhang Ran's view, the New York Times comment said it best: "After the Sharon Stone incident came out, more ordinary Chinese people were expressing their anger through the Internet, which is the kind of anger that can make the world feel the most powerful, showing the rise of Chinese people's power in a global perspective!"
