Chapter 904: Prey vs. Hunter
"You're hawk-eyed, can you comfort people too?" Gu Xiaofan looked at him and said angrily: "I think they can't look at CW, and they have been trying to change jobs for a while but have not succeeded, so these geniuses are depressed, right?" Why don't you scold not only Fox, but also CBS? ”
Hasson laughed: "Anyway, after today, CW's hearts are stable." 【】”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaofan finally smiled, during the time he joined Warner, the entire group was panicked, and he also doubted whether he could control this huge media empire.
But after his first success tonight, he couldn't help but feel a huge sense of happiness in his chest, and that huge sense of satisfaction was far stronger than when he only held the Black Feather Studio.
Gu Xiaofan looked out the window at the night sky, the bubbles of champagne flying in the air, facing the moonlight and the colorful stars, enjoying this incomparably beautiful moment.
If someone sees the smile on Gu Xiaofan's face at this time, they can see the confident and clean look in his eyes.
"House of Cards" was able to create such a huge momentum and achieve such a brilliant success, all of which he planned single-handedly, from adapting the original script to the later "Didi Taxi" incident, he was luring opponents in every link.
When he saw the news of the "Snowden incident" in his mind one year ago, he had this plan, and he had been holding this handle of the US government in his hands, but at that time, he was not able to use this intelligence, until now, he has Warner, owned, "Time Magazine" and other world-class media platforms, this key information can play a role.
This morning, the federal government and Fox TV set traps on top of each other, and when they watched him as a "fool" and appeared on the Fox Sunday News scene single-handedly, those people thought they had taken the bait......
However, they didn't expect that he, Gu Xiaofan, was the real hunter this time, and the huge trap of the "Prism Project" had already been laid out in the dark, waiting for the prey to step on it proudly......
Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Xiaofan's mouth couldn't help but rise an arc, do those people think that they are still inexperienced as a group operator? Oh, yes...... How do they know that the information advantage they have in their minds can only really exert great power after they have a media empire like Warner?
1 a.m. late at night...... In the White House, the president's aides have received news that an ad hoc meeting will be held, and the content of this ad hoc meeting is very simple, CW's new drama "House of Cards" announced the government's top-secret "Prism Project", and this show has received more than 15 million viewers, which has caused an uproar across the United States.
No...... Not only the whole United States, but also the whole world will trigger a chain reaction, the president's staff are heavy-faced, feeling that things are completely beyond expectations, and the director of the National Security Agency, the deputy director, is also anxious like ants on a hot pot.
After discussion, they have realized that the "Prism Project" has been announced, and no matter how much they explain it, it is invalid, and the only way is for Gu Xiaofan, who announced this information, to come forward and explain that this information is wrong, and it is they who have misreported it.
They fixed their countermeasures, first of all, they negotiated with Black Feather Warner, hoping that they would not release more information about the "Prism Project", and at the same time, they privately began to investigate all the information of Black Feather Warner to see who actually told this information.
As long as Gu Xiaofan can be dragged out, as long as they find the informant, they may be able to prevent the expansion of the situation in time.
And Duke, the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, personally called Gu Xiaofan and put forward the following conditions:
"If you hand over that whistleblower and promise not to leak the Prism plan again, then I can communicate with the Department of Justice and not sue Black Feather Warner for business issues, and allow Didi Dache to be legalized......"
Is this condition what Gu Xiaofan wants? Yes, of course...... But if it was so simple to promise the federal government, these cunning guys would think that they were easy to bully, and Gu Xiaofan decided to teach them a lesson, so that they would never dare to mess with themselves in the future.
So Gu Xiaofan exerted his acting skills, and pretended to be satisfied: "Okay, Director Duke, I agree to this condition, but my only request is that you can't monitor the data of our Black Feather Warner, don't investigate the person who provided my clues, as a media worker, I have the obligation to protect my informant." ”
"Okay, I promise you." Duke didn't hesitate and responded.
After a period of deceitful bargaining, the two agreed that early tomorrow morning, the National Security Bureau would first hold a press conference at 8:30 a.m. to deny the "Prism Project," and then an hour later, Gu Xiaofan would hold a press conference to announce that the "Prism Project" was just a fabricated plot in "House of Cards" without any factual basis, and that the events of the past few days were just a propaganda campaign.
The intention of this arrangement is that the National Security Bureau first denies it, and then Gu Xiaofan agrees with it, so as to show the authenticity of this matter, otherwise if Gu Xiaofan first recruits a press conference, then it will make people feel that the National Security Bureau is playing some coercive means behind the scenes, which will cause public speculation.
So early the next morning, the White House held an impromptu press conference, otherwise there was a "prism plan", Secretary of State Hillac Clinton, smiled very confidently at the camera:
"The level of hype in Hollywood is getting higher and higher, last year's "2012" made the whole people nervous about the end of the world, and asked NASA to come forward to refute the rumors, and this time we want to clarify, I think one day, reporters can broadcast global news in Los Angeles every day~"
The female secretary of state repeatedly denied the incident in a very humorous way.
But just when the White House was ready to wait for Gu Xiaofan to announce that the "Prism Project" was just a publicity stunt on N, something unexpected happened to them.
It is true that a special program about the "Prism Project" was broadcast an hour later, but it does not mean that this thing does not exist, on the contrary, in the special program N, the host explains in the camera:
Following yesterday's "House of Cards" released a draft of the "Prism Project" bill, last night audiences across the United States were querying the relevant news, but the result was that there was no bill, no relevant data, the Department of Justice and the federal court could not find the relevant files, and this morning the Secretary of State also denied the existence of this mysterious plan, so is this plan really groundless? ”
As he spoke, the host pointed to the screen behind him: "This morning, we got a new information report, please look at the screen, this is a series of slides we just received......"
N then published 13 slides of the "Prism Project", showing a short description of the network that is the backbone of the program's global use, the kind of information obtained by the Internet companies and the NSA involved, and the start date of each provider's Prism program......
