Chapter 503: The Wolf of Wall Street in Reality
Just after arriving at Twentieth Century Fox, Carla Firth and Bill Rothes came looking for them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You said there was good news on the phone when you came." Murphy first fetched Gal Gadot a glass of water, then sat down next to her and asked, "What's the good news?" ”
"Of course, it's good news that can stimulate the box office of the movie, the realistic version of "The Wolf of Wall Street." Carla Firth shook her head at Bill Rothes, "Bill, you still say it." ”
Bill Rothes did not shirk either, and said directly, "The New York Post just got a scoop today that an investment bank executive on Wall Street with an annual salary of nearly 10 million dollars forced his wife to play a game of ventilation with the other party in order to win over customers. ”
"There really are such people." Gal Gadot was a little stunned.
Murphy didn't speak, but frowned in thought.
"It's not just those who do." Carla Firth shook her head, "They also have two children, and they look like a very happy couple. ”
Gal Gadot could only sigh, "Reality is more exaggerated than the movie." ”
"The news hasn't been published yet, has it?" Murphy asked suddenly.
"Nope." Carla Fess pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "One of the deputy editors-in-chief of the New York Post had some friendship with me, and when she got the news, she thought it might help me with the film project I was responsible for, and immediately called me. ”
Murphy nodded and asked, "Is the source reliable?" ”
Carla Firth shrugged her shoulders and the expression on her face became wonderful, "The person who broke the news to them is none other than the investment bank executive's wife. ”
This is really more realistic than the movie, and Murphy can only think so.
"The real-life version of the wolf of Wall Street is really a good topic for hype." He certainly understands what Carla Firth and Bill Rothes mean, "to attract more people to our films." ”
At this point, Murphy stood up and took a few steps and asked, "Can we gather some information on this and have the New York Post and Fox media outlets take the lead in doing one or several issues dedicated to Wall Street?" ”
"I think so." Bill Rothes agrees.
Carla Firth also nodded, "It should be possible, it's not too difficult, but it's better not to involve the real big guys, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
"Hmm." Murphy agreed with Carla Firth's statement that this was to build hype for the film, not to create a fuse for war, "Find more people like the executives of the small investment banks you said." ”
"How many more?" Kara Firth raised an eyebrow, "Murphy, you're so greedy. ”
"Don't you think so?" Murphy laughed, "Greed is an original sin and a virtue. ”
Carla Firth tilted her head slightly, "Didn't you criticize greed in the film?" ”
Murphy spread his hands and said innocently, "That's just the critic's own opinion, when did I say that I was going to criticize greed?" ”
Wall Street investors are indeed insatiable people, but greed is an eternal virtue that is ingrained in the hearts of all people in the United States and around the world.
On the topic of greed, it is impossible to blame a specific historical period, a stage of civilization, or even some people at some point in the past, which is the most basic characteristic of existence, and in this era the world is changing drastically, and human beings seem to be omnipotent, but unfortunately human beings themselves have not evolved much.
This kind of thing has to rely on the power of Twentieth Century Fox, and it is not something that Carla Firth can decide alone, and it will take a little time to brew.
Fast forward on Monday, and the box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" fell 70 percent on the first working day compared to Sunday, earning $6.2 million in a single day.
However, these are within the psychological expectations of Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, after all, the previous 'investigationgate' greatly mobilized the emotions of the entire North American audience, which drove the first weekend box office of the film.
The subject matter of the film is here, and this is not a typical commercial genre with an extremely wide audience.
Murphy is well aware that in order for the film to maintain a stable trend, there must be a new topic of stimulation, and the Wall Street scandal is undoubtedly a very suitable genre.
Carla Firth soon had the support of Twentieth Century Fox, and no commercial company would refuse the lure of visible profits.
Moreover, they don't want to provoke the big guys, they just target the executives of small investment banks.
The New York Post fired the first shot of this hype.
"Wall Street executives perform a realistic version of the wolf of Wall Street, in order to pull customers to force their wives to play *** games with each other******** strictly speaking, the New York Post is not a mainstream newspaper, but lace scandals like this can only stay on less important pages, but this time the "New York Post" directly put it on the front page headline, accompanied by a photo provided by the whistleblower himself.
The photo shows the whistleblower's family of four, she is holding her youngest daughter, and her accused husband is carrying her eldest daughter, which looks like a very happy family of four.
This happy family photo is in stark contrast to the content of the report.
"An investment bank executive with an annual salary of $7 million, tall and handsome, with a perfect family, seems glamorous, and now his wife is exposed as a 'wolf of Wall Street'! In order to win over important customers, this Wall Street executive not only forced his wife to work with each other. Card. due to other drugs. ”
Thatch-Kelly, 42, head of healthcare at Jefferies Investment Bank, is currently in divorce proceedings. According to court documents in the possession of the media, his wife, Christina, alleged that her husband had forced her to play *** and smoke ****** with a pharmaceutical company owner Mark Beale and his girlfriend. ”
"Mark Beale is a key client of Jefferies Investment Bank and is a key part of Thatch Kelly's career."
A few days ago, Christina told our reporter what happened: six of us got drunk in the bar of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston that night. In addition to Thatch and me, Mark Beale and his girlfriend were present, as well as Coch, the senior vice president of Hengke Bank, and Bill's eldest son. With the exception of Bill's eldest son, all five of us sucked Ke. Card. Because, then Couch opened a lavish room, and Bill's girlfriend danced a striptease in the room. ”
Christina recalls that Mark Beale had been harassing her at the time, and she tried to call her husband for help, but Kelly told her to let go instead, and the four ended up playing a game of **and** together.
"I knew exactly what Kelly was for, and he was doing his job because Bill was a potential important client for him. If he can't get Bill, he'll probably lose his job. And so I became a victim, Christina said angrily. ”
"According to Christina, this is not the only time, she couldn't stand this absurd life and decided to sue the court for divorce, and what is even more shocking is that in the indictment, Christina also lists a bunch of Wall Street top executives who have used drugs with her and her husband and ***, and Ben Lorero, the owner of Kelly's investment bank, is among them......"
As soon as this report came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention, and in this era of the decline of the traditional newspaper industry, the New York Post was unexpectedly out of stock.
This situation is closely related to the widespread attention caused by "The Wolf of Wall Street".
In turn, the report piqued more interest in Wall Street's secrets, leading them to go to theaters to watch "The Wolf of Wall Street."
As a direct result, "The Wolf of Wall Street" jumped 20 percent on Tuesday compared to Monday, earning $7.7 million on the day.
But that's not the end of it, the attention will continue for some time, and the hype about Wall Street will not stop.
Subsequently, a Facebook accusation against Wall Street executives was widely reprinted.
A waitress named Laura Lamady accused a hedge fund manager, Brian Lederman, of constantly groping her butt during meals, and Brian Lederman's Facebook response not only did not deny it, but also claimed that she had stolen the butts of thousands of girls because doing so would give him pleasure and more passion for his work.
Immediately afterward, a well-known blogger posted on his blog an anonymous Goldman Sachs employee giving advice to interns for promotion.
The blog post mentions a number of pieces of advice, some of which are full of sexist and egotistical entries: sleep with an intern and then brag about it to your colleagues to gain respect; Never make racist jokes, you just need to repeat the racist jokes that other interns have made and tell who you heard it from......
These were also reprinted by the traditional print media, and many unknown sides of Wall Street gradually appeared in front of the public through media reports, which not only made people want to peek into more of Wall Street's secrets, but also further stimulated the growing public dissatisfaction with Wall Street after the subprime mortgage crisis.
Although these lace news can only be a one-sided peek at one or two of Wall Street, but Wall Street gossip and negative news really abound, and where there is money, right and wrong are inseparable, not to mention Wall Street, the global financial center, where the desires, farces, and weaknesses of human nature due to money are concentrated here.
More people poured into the theaters, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" became the most direct beneficiary, and the deception of Wall Street economists shown in the film has been further spread over time, and many people who have suffered heavy losses and even gone bankrupt because of the subprime mortgage crisis have begun to attribute their miserable situation to Wall Street deception.
Some inexplicable emotions began to grow among them, and then spread like a virus. (To be continued.) )
