It's the New Year, everyone has a good New Year, and I wish you all good luck and wealth in the new year!

It is currently a key part of the Oscar voting, hearing Bill Rosies's words, Murphy can't help but pay attention to it, immediately put down the topic he just discussed with Carla Firth, and came to the back of the desk together, Bill Rothes opened the webpage to enter the oil turtle, and clicked on a video in a rather conspicuous position on the homepage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The name of the video is 'Revealing the Truth About Famous Hollywood Director Murphy Stanton and the Drug Cartel'.

Murphy just looked at the name, and knew that it was something that was quite unfavorable to him, perhaps attracted by his name, and the video had more than 200,000 views on the turtle.

After a few seconds of waiting, the video began to play, and the background appeared to be downtown Los Angeles, and Murphy recognized it as the old-fashioned bar that Ross frequented.

In the video, a reporter from a local TV station appears, and the camera glances at her, then shifts to the bar sign in the back, and the reporter's voiceover sounds at the same time.

"Viewers who have watched the film "Diego Rose" will be familiar with this place, this bar is where the male protagonist in the film often goes to drink, why did Murphy Stanton choose this bar to shoot? According to the exact information obtained by this station, Murphy Stanton, as a big Hollywood director, often secretly meets with drug lord Diego Ross in this bar to talk about some very confidential things......"

This reporter is obviously deliberately leading people to think in a crooked direction.

"I just don't know if what they're talking about is related to drugs? It is also possible to discuss the source of funding for the film......"

Rumors about this have never stopped, and at this time, someone deliberately mentioned it in front of this bar, and its intentions can be imagined.

"We found Montero Rodriguez, who used to work at this bar, and who had witnessed Murphy Stanton secretly talking to drug lord Diego Rose countless times."

The camera pulled back from the bar and turned to the reporter, and just across from the reporter, there was a middle-aged Latino man in his thirties.

The reporter brought the microphone to him and asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, can you tell us about the meeting between Murphy Stanton and Diego Rose that you saw?" ”

"Diego Rose is a celebrity in our area, and Murphy Stanton is a famous director in Hollywood."

The man named Montero Rodriguez was clearly prepared, "The first time the two of them appeared in the bar, I recognized them, these two people were very familiar, they were both talking alone at the bar counter when they met, only the boss could approach, we waiters didn't let us pass, and there were people guarding the side, as if Murphy Stanton and Diego Rose couldn't see the light of day." ”

"Do they see each other often?" The reporter asked again.

"Sometimes once or twice a month." "Sometimes we see each other once every two or three months, sometimes Robert Downey Jr. comes and they are very confidential, and I never hear them talk about anything," Montero Rodriguez said. ”

The reporter put the microphone back, "Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez." ”

The camera pans to the reporter alone, who stands in front of the bar and says, "According to reliable sources, Morphy Stanton's film was financed by Diego Rose's drug cartel, and part of the funding for the film is unknown." ”

The reporter confidently analyzed, "Murphy Stanton has been famous for shooting commercial films since he entered Hollywood, and this time he suddenly turned to the field of literary films, and he successfully got investment, precisely because of the support of drug cartels......"

Seeing this, Murphy shook his head and said to Bill Rothes, who was holding the mouse, "Turn it off." ”

Bill Rothes turned off the video, and Carla Firth immediately asked, "Is the video already on TV?" ”

"This morning's morning news aired." Bill Rothes put it as succinctly as possible, "This local TV station is mainly focused on New York and Los Angeles. ”

Murphy couldn't help but shake his head, "What a clever method." ”

New York and Los Angeles are two of the largest concentrations of members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

"It's not just the TV ......," said Bill Rosses, opening his briefcase and pulling out a stack of columns of various sizes cut out of the newspaper, "and similar reports appeared in several newspapers in New York and Los Angeles today." ”

Taking the newspaper clippings from Bill Rossith's hand, Murphy quickly flipped through them, and they were full of bad news for him.

"Murphy Stanton's intimate affair with drug lord Diego Rose......"

"A director who rose to prominence under the patronage of a drug lord - Murphy Stanton!"

"Would you believe that Murphy Stanton's entire Diego Rose film didn't receive money from drug cartels?"

"Don't underestimate the IQ of the public and the Oscar judges! Expose Murphy Stanton's true colors! ”

You don't need to look at the content, just look at the headlines, and you know what is written in these reports and how sinister the intentions are.

Although there are no major newspapers like the Los Angeles Times, they are all newspapers with some circulation in New York and Los Angeles, and Murphy is well aware that some people must be influenced by this kind of public opinion.

"What about the Internet?" Murphy looked at Bill Rothes and asked, "What about other websites besides the Turtle?" ”

Bill Rothes replied, "Yes, but less." ”

Murphy nodded, although he didn't know who was behind the scenes, but he obviously knew the academy very well, and most of the members of the academy were older, and even if some people used the Internet, they wouldn't be particularly few.

And the time period of the launch was also very good, Stanton Studios and Twentieth Century Fox have been busy preparing for the press conference of "Dark City" for the past few days, and they have not paid much attention to the Oscars for the time being, they just chose this opportunity and launched a public opinion war.

Murphy will not underestimate such a public opinion war, some seemingly inconspicuous aspects are likely to affect the selection of the judges, and the original Ang Lee and Spielberg have planted their heels in this.

Kara Firth couldn't help but sneer and said, "The people who operate are really good at picking time!" ”

You don't have to look at this kind of thing, and you know that someone behind the scenes has carefully planned it.

Murphy asked Bill Rosith, "Bill, how big of an impact will it be?" ”

"It's hard to say." Bill Rothes also can't guarantee that "it could change the choices of some of the neutral judges." ”

"We need a crisis PR, and the sooner the better!" he said with certainty. ”

Crisis PR is easy to say, but difficult to do, and the first thing is to be targeted.

Murphy put the newspaper clipping in his hand on Carla Fez's desk, thought for a moment with his hands on his chest, and said, "Do you think this time there is a sense of familiarity?" ”

Bill Rothes frowned in thought.

Carla Firth asked directly, "What familiar feeling?" ”

"The Oscars of the past." Murphy reminded that "Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" was criticized by British veterans for not being realistic; At the critical moment when Roman Polanski hit the Oscars in "The Pianist", the tabloids and some local TV stations once again hyped up the rape of young children that year, and both films lost Best Picture! ”

He thought for a moment and said, "And "A Beautiful Mind" suddenly broke out that John Nash is a transvestite and during the awards season, and when Woody Allen rushes to the Olympics, someone will always jump out to talk about him and his current wife Song Yi, Martin Scorsese was pointed at his nose by the media and scolded for rushing the Olympics for the sake of the Olympics......"

There were so many examples like this that Murphy named seven or eight in one go.

Hearing Murphy's words, Bill Rossis nodded, "It's pretty much the same way we encountered this time." ”

Carla Firth captures the point of Murphy's words, "Are you saying that these events were carried out by the same force behind us this time?" ”

"Yes, it's very likely." Murphy spread his hands and said, "Think about it, those films are unlucky, who benefits in the end?" We were disappointed at the Oscars this time, and who is the one most likely to benefit? ”

"Weinstein Pictures!"

Bill Rothes and Carla Firth thought together.

Murphy nodded, "I think it's likely Harvey Weinstein's handiwork, and they're probably going to do it for the sake of the Oscars." ”

"Well...... Bill Rothes thought for a moment and said, "it's very likely." ”

Although Carla Firth didn't say anything, she also agreed with Murphy's speculation that the Weinstein brothers' film company has always formulated the most fundamental operation strategy around the Oscars, and in order to impact the Oscars, even the six major companies dare to hack, let alone a director like Murphy.

"I will contact the media for some clarification." Bill Rothes immediately thought of a countermeasure, "Pull Catholicism out again, that attacker ......"

He looked at Kara Firth and didn't say anything further.

Carla Firth pretended not to hear and said to Murphy, "That's not enough, 'The Artist' is our biggest rival, and even a small percentage of neutral votes go to 'The Artist', it will be very bad for us to win the prize!" We have to fight back! ”

Passive defense was never an option for Murphy, and he nodded, "We do need to fight back. ”

As he spoke, Murphy took a few steps back and forth, had a plan in his heart, and said, "How many people and companies have the Weinstein brothers hacked in the past in order to impact the Oscars?" From the mid-nineties to the present, I'm afraid there have been too many times, right? ”

"Great idea!" Carla Firth immediately understood what Murphy meant, "Many people in the circle are tired of the Weinstein brothers' behavior at the Oscars, especially his victims, and they are very dissatisfied with the Weinstein brothers!" ”

"In the past, no one had ever contacted the power of these people." Murphy looked at Bill Rothes, "Time is limited, we need to act as soon as possible!" ”
