Chapter 114: Vigilance
Rose was furious, and Laura had just left to give her cousin the good news.
With no place to vent his anger, he smashed his office to the ground.
The first to be unlucky was the latest big-screen TV, which was smashed by the bottle thrown by Rose, and black smoke was emitting from it.
"Shit!
"I really don't know what he's putting in his head,?"
"Damn it!"
"I came up with such a brainless bad idea, and it was buckled on my head!"
"I'm going to kill you!"
"I really misjudged him! I need to find someone as soon as possible to replace this brainless idiot!"
In the stock, Aris is still a filmmaker, don't look at his usual arrogance, but deep in his heart, he also has a deep love for movies.
It's just that after ascending to a high position, he forgot his original intention, and changed from a little filmmaker to a person who plays with movies.
Being able to think of such a good idea, and wittily giving credit to the boss, Chris is still a little proud at this time.
But he didn't know that it was his own initiative that ruined Rose's carefully arranged plan......
Originally, Ross wanted to use the fake contract that was improvised at the press conference to save his bad image among the people.
At the same time, through Chris's mouth, he made his own voice.
Tell everyone who pays attention to this matter that it is not that these giants are wantonly doing things, but that ordinary viewers are being used by people with intentions.
As for who this caring person is, the answer is already obvious, and the spearhead is Tang Feng, who has been treated unfairly.
However, Rose didn't want to be too high-profile, so he didn't slap Tang Feng to death with a stick, but pretended to reconcile with him.
This can not help but give a good impression of humility, and it can also use the event to promote his respect for independent filmmakers, showing their generosity and high quality for film.
further wooed the audience and filmmakers, and at the same time took this opportunity to respond to Tang Feng's previous challenges, giving him the illusion that he had already responded.
What's even more ruthless is his next arrangement, he did not arrange "Home Alone" and "Kindergarten Special Police", which are all children's themes, to fight in the ring with "Little Sunshine Beauty" in the Christmas file.
Instead, he decided to use these two movies to attack "Little Sunshine Beauty" one after the other, coupled with the simultaneous release of "Edward Scissorhands", which can already make Tang Feng defeated.
At that time, no matter how talented Tang Feng is and how good the movie is, if there is not enough screen to support it, how big a wave can it make?
The other way around, they have a natural media advantage in addition to their monopoly advantage.
It is completely possible to take advantage of Tang Feng's most embarrassing time to come to a perfect storm of public opinion and completely defeat the fledgling boy who doesn't know the height of the sky!
Although he had received warnings from some people, it was not an extraordinary measure, and he could even take the opportunity to burn the fire on that person!
is such a seamless and perfect strategy, but it was completely disrupted by Aris's inspiration, how can he not go crazy.
It's too late to change your tune now, and the reporter who asked the question happened to be someone from the New York Times, and they would never compromise with themselves.
It's so easy to catch a good opportunity, how can you not make a lot of publicity, and then sit back and watch the excitement?
After thinking about it, Ross had to be forced to change his original plan, so that his media temporarily stopped touting Tang Feng and instead focused on the upcoming "Home Alone".
At the same time, he called an old friend of his and asked him to help cause some trouble for Tang Feng, so that he could not finish the filming of the film in the rest of the time.
Of course, the punishment of Aris is also inevitable, and Rose can't wait to beat him up!
The next day, most of the mainstream media covered the launch.
Praise Warner's generosity, and at the same time tout Aris for his arguments, really let the market decide everything.
Many people believe that such a flexible mechanism can ensure fairness and reasonableness to the greatest extent.
Without being manipulated, it can indeed make an excellent movie get the box office it deserves.
If it can really be implemented, it will definitely be the greatest innovation in the history of film development!
As the then CEO of Warner Pictures, Aris was also highly praised by everyone.
Of course, reporters also praised Ross, saying that the arrival of him and the Times Group has brought a breath of fresh air to the filthy Hollywood.
It's just that no one knows that the heroes they say have contributed to the development of the film have been beaten to the hospital by their own bosses.
But this time the glory belongs only to our tragic hero Aris, and to Ross and the Times Group, who brought real hope to Hollywood.
Almost invariably, all the media ignored Tang Feng, a young man they have always praised.
Except for some eye-catching small media, there is really no mainstream media that questions him or anything.
It's very simple, if they all turn around and bombard Tang Feng now, it will be tantamount to them slapping themselves in the face, so they can only treat him coldly.
......
Because Harvey was in New York, Tang Feng received the news that afternoon, and everyone was very worried, afraid that Tang Feng would become the target of public criticism again.
Tang Feng doesn't care much about this, he is already a little accustomed to the media who like to follow the trend.
Except for the strange arrangement of Warner, he didn't think much about it, and the filming of the movie was at a critical time, and he didn't have the heart to be distracted by these things.
No matter what they say, he has a clear conscience anyway, even if he is suspected of taking advantage of public opinion, but it is just that he is forced to be helpless.
If he hadn't been treated unfairly, he would rather honestly write two scripts at home than show up to sing against Warner.
Tang Feng's state at this time is very interesting, just like an old monk who has settled down, no matter how disturbing he is outside, I just make my movie!
With the completion of the shooting of the indoor part, he took everyone to start a new attempt.
Although the road movie is simple, it is not so easy to shoot, and in order to apply for permission to shoot, Hunter used almost all his strength.
I chose several road sections, but I couldn't get approval, and finally had to choose Azusa, which is far away from East Los Angeles, on the set.
There is an abandoned ring highway here, but fortunately, the abandonment time is not too long, and after sending someone to clean it up, it can barely meet the requirements of shooting.
On the day of Warner's press conference, Tang Feng rushed to Azusa with a large team of people.
It is a few dozen kilometers away from East Los Angeles, and it is a small town with a completely different style from East Los Angeles, although it is not very prosperous, but it is more quaint and quiet.
As soon as they arrived, everyone was busy.
William and Cooper went to contact room and board, rent workers and the required vehicles.
Tang Feng took Brian and Michael to choose a shooting location, and Wilton instructed everyone to set up the set.
Anne, accompanied by Hunter, took the approval document and went to report to the relevant local authorities.
Although it is also part of the Greater Los Angeles jurisdiction, there were very few film crews here to make movies in the past.
The locals were very enthusiastic about their arrival, and the city hall approved the filming permission as soon as possible and sent someone to assist them.
Therefore, it took less than a day to complete all the preparations that night.
Seeing that it would be filmed tomorrow, Tang Feng couldn't sleep for a long time, and went through the scenes to be filmed tomorrow in his mind, and he thought of Warner's arrangement again.
Thinking carefully about what happened during this time, Tang Feng seemed to have a hint of conspiracy from it.
"According to the news from Harvey, Warner has already responded, but it is "Edward Scissorhands" that is brought out to fight in the ring, not "Home Alone" as I always thought. ”
"Do you want to play the set of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang', and unexpectedly hit me off guard?"
"So, when will they schedule the release of Home Alone?"
According to Brian, Imagine Entertainment has been working with Universal since the beginning of the year to make a children's movie. ”
"Two days ago, the copyright was suddenly bought out by Universal at a high price, and the price they offered was very high, so Howard immediately agreed. ”
"In this way, the intention of the major studios is already obvious, that is, to unite against me!"
"If they want to deal with me, they will definitely not just use these tricks, with the backing of the Times Group, they are likely to use the media to do something. ”
"During this time, I have to be careful, I have to be vigilant, in addition to finishing the film on time, I also have to keep an eye on the movement of the media. ”
"Thanks to the fact that they didn't have a unified command and designed such a big trap, but they left me a glimmer of life, otherwise I'm afraid it would be useless for me to try harder. ”
"Hehe, it's really interesting, it's clear that it's going to be encircled and suppressed, and it's also a moth that floats and adjusts. ”
"Alas, in front of those giants, I really can't resist. ”
"Whether they do it or not, I'm going to make my film well, and I think it's the same for everything......"
