Chapter 688: Weak Neil
Saying that, Neil looked at Gu Xiaofan and said, "Director Gu, I'm really sorry, we originally planned to do a series of publicity with you with Time Magazine, but suddenly there was such an accident, I really can't help it...... I can't afford to give you any other support......"
Just as Gu Xiaofan lowered his head and thought about this change, Neil continued: "Let me introduce you to a few people, this is Isaiah Kanan, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity", Henry Simms, the editor of "Premiere", Tony Roten, the deputy editor-in-chief of "Entertainment Weekly...... Thomas Robinson, the film editor of "American Cinematographer", ......."
Then he sighed and said: "Originally, I found friends from 21 media to meet with you today, but after something happened last night, most of them quit...... Abel said to me, you can still enter Warner, we can still work together, but the script of "The Dark Knight" must be transferred to director Nolan......"
Neil's meaning is already obvious, and now the situation is no longer as planned, and we no longer have the ability to pass our ability in these 20 days to make "The Undertaker" a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film......
On the other hand, Neil invited Martin, apparently announcing that they had won the adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire", and still persuaded Gu Xiaofan to join their camp and use "Game of Thrones" to stabilize their own camp on the verge of collapse. [Full text reading]
and gave Gu Xiaofan the adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire", let him enter Warner, and let Gu Xiaofan hand over the script of "The Dark Knight" at the price......
The two sides took a step back...... It's not a bad ending.
Joseph and Jason couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes were full of despair, and now their lobbying efforts for more than a month were in vain, and "The Undertaker" seemed to have no hope of being shortlisted for the Oscar at all.
Gu Xiaofan was also surprised by such a change in his heart, but he was in danger and began to think of a way in his heart.
Was Old Jett's sudden death a crisis? No...... This is an opportunity, a great opportunity!
Gu Xiaofan's heart was beating violently, he knew that now Old Jet's forces were now leaderless, if he could stand up in time, then he could help Neil, who was already panicked, stabilize his position, so as to take over the connections and forces left by Old Jet.
The question now is, how can he make "The Undertaker" win the Oscar without the support of the mainstream media, proving that he can still beat Abel without Old Jett?
In fact, Gu Xiaofan already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't fully conceive it, and when he was still planning, Chen Keer, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"I'm sorry, Director Gu, is it okay for me to speak on behalf of Black Feather Studio?" As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xiaofan, wanting to get his authorization.
Gu Xiaofan nodded, and his heart was immediately happy, he knew it...... Miss Chen must have been ready for a long time.
I saw Chen Keer at this time, looked at Neil, and said very strongly: "Mr. Neil, we don't care about what problems you have internally, but we will never give up the filming rights of "The Dark Knight". ”
Neil had been flustered just now, and only then did he see such a beautiful and elegant Asian girl sitting next to Gu Xiaofan, only to see that her expression was holy, giving people a sense of inviolability, and the voice that could be opened was charming and charming, which made people feel numb all over the body, and couldn't help but look at the obsession in her eyes.
However, listening to the strength in Chen Keer's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Gu Xiaofan with some surprise, seeing Gu Xiaofan's indifferent look, he knew that this Asian woman was his spokesperson, and Joseph next to him immediately introduced him:
"This is Manager Chen Keer, the executive manager of Black Feather Studio."
Neil couldn't help but look full of grief and said in a deep voice:
"Manager Chen, is it? I'm afraid you haven't figured out the current situation yet, it's not that I don't want to make "The Dark Knight", I want Director Gu to make this movie as much as you do, but now we don't have the ability to fight against Abel, if I don't bow to Uncle Abel, then I'm afraid he won't even let go of him...... At that time, you couldn't even make a "Song of Ice and Fire......"
Although Neil became the top script hunter in Warner under the cultivation of his father, he did not inherit his father's strategy in running a business, and coupled with his weak personality, he was originally afraid of his "Uncle Abel...... So as soon as he died in old Jet, he was so frightened that he went to Abel to negotiate terms and surrender, for fear that he would not be able to get anything in the future......
"Mr. Neil!" Chen Ke'er suddenly snorted coldly, interrupting Neil's words, startling everyone, not understanding why this girl with a holy and soft temperament suddenly became so fierce.
"Mr. Jett has worked hard for decades, are you going to give it away? Are you worthy of Mr. Jett's cultivation of you? If Mr. Jett were still alive now, what do you think he would think of you now? Chen Keer said coldly.
Neil blushed and lowered his head blankly, his personality was already weak, he couldn't take big ideas, his father died before the six gods and no master, and he was so frightened that he quickly surrendered to his uncle, wanting to protect his little interests.
was asked by Chen Keer like this, and remembered his father's expectations of him, and after so many years of hard work, he couldn't help but cry with sadness, his eyes were red, and he said, "I'm sorry Jeter...... But what can I do? ”“
Seeing Neil crying on the spot, the people present who had followed Old Jett for many years couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, alas...... This Neil is an artist, sensual and weak, and is really not suitable to be a leader......
This old Jett is good at everything, but he can't have children, just like his son, the other Warner family is even more talented, old and young, even this Neil is not as good...... If Abel had such a capable son, where would he have ended up in today's situation?
Gu Xiaofan secretly observed everyone's expressions, and secretly thought to himself, no wonder as soon as Old Jett died, several major shareholders turned their heads to Abel's side, and he, the heir, was too unscrupulous......
At this time, Chen Ke'er's tone suddenly became passionate again: "Mr. Neil, didn't you expect it? Although Mr. Jett's death is sad, it is actually an opportunity. ”
"What chance?" Neil wiped away a handful of tears and looked up sadly.
"Your chance to prove yourself." Chen Ke'er looked at his eyes, gently held his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Neil, like you, I also have a successful entrepreneur father, and I also work in my own family business, but for so many years, my father has been in charge of the TV station, even if I have achieved anything in the station, everyone thinks that I am because of my father's help, and no one recognizes my ......ability."
