Chapter Ninety-Nine: Losing the Pawn and Protecting the Car
After reading the document in his hand, Walter looked at Roy with a bad face, not knowing what the other party's intentions were.
The content in the document is actually very simple, it is about Walter's boss, David, the director of Disney's live-action film production department, revealing the inside story of the hype and publicity after the release of "American Painting" to the tabloid media.
Judging from the content of those tabloid reporters' words, this news should be the result of multiple verifications by Disney personnel. If it is confirmed and handed over to the board of directors, David's position will definitely not be guaranteed, after all, no company will tolerate its employees eating inside and out, and maybe David will have to pay legal responsibility for this and compensate Disney for its losses.
"Why, don't you have any opinion on this?" said Roy, seeing that Walter was just looking at himself, but did not say a superfluous word, and quipped.
"What can you think?" Vought shrugged and continued, "Just pretend you don't know." β
"Oh?" Roy said, surprised, "what do you want to do?"
"Wrong! Uncle Roy! It's not what I want to do, it's what I want to do?" After a pause, Walter continued: "If you really just want to deal with David, directly convene a board meeting and publish this document, even if Uncle Miller wants to protect him, there is no way to do it, and the shareholders of the board of directors will obviously not allow such a person to leak the company's secrets." And now, you didn't do it, obviously with a deeper consideration, as for what, only you know in your own heart. β
"Interesting answer!" Roy complimented and continued, "If you follow your idea, what should you do next?"
"Wait!"
"Wait?"
"Yes, I once read books from my maternal grandfather in the Far East, and I know a word called 'lose the pawn to protect the car', which roughly means to keep the main and abandon the secondary, just like on the battlefield, when encountering a losing battle, the losing side will give up the small soldier and choose to keep the commander of the war, the pawn is just the small soldier who takes the lead in front, and the chariot is the person who commands the behind. β
After a pause, Walter continued: "Now, this is the situation, if Uncle Roy confesses David now, then he can only be discarded as a small soldier, and the master behind him will be saved, this is obviously not a good choice, the real choice is to continue to wait, and when the matter is exposed, you can dig out the people behind him and find out the 'car' behind him, then there will definitely be a greater harvest." β
"Interesting! Interesting!" Roy clapped his hands, obviously Walter's words made him very agreeable, and at the same time he secretly praised in his heart, I really didn't expect that Walter, who would only squander his inheritance in his eyes, would have such a thinking. It seems that after people open their minds, they will indeed make a big difference in putting their minds to their careers.
After some small talk, Walter promised Roy that he wouldn't tell anyone else about tonight's conversation, and after greeting Leslie and a few other cousins, he prepared to drive away from Roy's villa on Beverly Hill.
The roar of the car sounded, looking at Roy's villa, Walter's heart flooded with something called ambition, to do it to Miller, you must be quick and accurate, otherwise, you who are on the same starting line with him, will be very difficult, my Uncle Roy! Of course, I also really hope that you can quickly get rid of Miller's group, so that after I enter the Disney board, you will be like history, and it will be good to be a non-caring director? After all, I also want to have my own villa in Beverly Hills, when I take control of Disneyβ¦β¦
In the study, hearing the sound of the car's engine fading away, Roy took the document in his hand, pondered Walter's words, and finally smiled and put the document in the drawer.
It seems that it's really time to get to know you again, and if you can really create another movie with a box office of over 100 million, I don't mind supporting you and building a new Disney according to your plan......
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at Los Angeles International Airport, the temperature outside is 59.23 degrees Fahrenheit, the plane is taxiing, for your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the luggage compartment just yet. When the plane is completely stopped, please untie the safety again, pack your belongings and prepare to get off the plane......"
With the announcement on the plane, Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting by the window, couldn't help yawning, looking at the sunny airport outside through the glass window, the unfamiliar foreign environment made her a little scared but yearning.
"Masayuki, hurry up and get ready. β
Zou Wenhuai's slightly courteous voice reminded Zhao Yazhi that she finally obeyed her boss and came to Los Angeles.
In fact, it stands to reason that she doesn't need to come to Los Angeles at all, however, I don't know what the boss who signed her is thinking and asks herself to come over, the reason is that Mr. Bruce Lee, the director of "Enter the Dragon", was absent from the meeting in Los Angeles due to illness, and let himself, the "heroine" of the movie, replace the other party.
For Zhao Yazhi, this reason is completely deceitful, yes, who doesn't know that the reason why Bruce Lee used illness to refuse to come to Los Angeles with Zou Wenhuai was because he didn't want to see the film's producer, Walter. With the current stalemate between Bruce Lee and Walter, even if Zou Wenhuai doesn't bring himself and goes alone, the other party will not have any disgust, and now he has to pull himself, the so-called movie "heroine", to Los Angeles to participate in movie samples and Disney movie-watching activities, which is completely nothing to do.
Because, she, the heroine, has few roles in the movie, "Enter the Dragon" is a movie based on men's martial arts scenes, and Zhao Yazhi is in the movie, that is, she plays an undercover agent who is planted by the government in the villain Mr. Fu, all the shots are only a handful, and it is okay whether she goes to Los Angeles or not, however, now Zou Wenhuai wants her to come to Los Angeles with her, which has to make Zhao Yazhi a little confused.
Of course, thinking of the man in Los Angeles, although she resisted Zou Wenhuai's compulsory order in her heart, she had some urgent urge to meet that man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has docked at the bridge, please disembark through the rear gate. Thank you!"
The voice on the radio sounded again, and Zhao Yazhi, who retracted his gaze, unbuckled the safety belt, took off his carry-on luggage, and followed Zou Wenhuai and other accompanying personnel, including the two Disney partners, to get off the plane together in the crowd.
