696 Leaking wind
Percy saw Lance wink at him, and then left the room after Lance, the heated discussion fading away as the door closed again, Percy exhaled softly without realizing it, and the silence and coldness around him took on a completely different scene. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I need you to tell George Clooney what's going on here." Lance didn't talk any nonsense and went straight to the point.
Percy didn't come back to his senses, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he was stunned and took a small step back, "Who do you think I am?" I certainly can't do that. Percy glared at Lance with some anger, clearly dissatisfied with Lance's "accusations".
The corners of Lance's mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, "I mean, I need you to do this on purpose, but it has to look like it's being revealed inadvertently. Percy's expression froze at the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to react. Lance nodded again in confirmation, "I need the news to leak out." ”
Chaos Pictures' preparation for "Mad Max 4", not only can not be kept secret, but also needs to be prepared openly and vigorously, Lance needs everyone to know Chaos Pictures' big moves, Chaos Pictures' previous cover-up is to create a sense of mystery, and then at the right time, all the shocking effects will be gathered together to explode.
It's not just the public effect, in order to detonate the box office, we will officially start to enter the publicity period now, and grasp every opportunity for the camp step by step to carry out effective publicity; is also because of the circle effect, proving that they have the ability to get rid of the control of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, and truly stand on their own!
Lance clearly knows that there are no secrets in Hollywood, even those so-called secret films, but they can't hide from those in the circle. What's more, now that Chaos Pictures is under the surveillance of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, every move is eye-catching, how can it be hidden? So, since you can't hide it, it's better to make good use of this opportunity.
In the next period of time, "Good Night, Good Luck" and "Hard Fruit Candy" will be released one after another, if nothing else, the countdown to the face-to-face confrontation between Lance and George Clooney has begun, which also means that the news will be very focused, and it will not cost anything to promote "Mad Max 4" at this time. However, you have to get the hang of it, otherwise it will be self-defeating.
Lance plans to leak the news to his "best friend". If George had shut up and kept it a secret, it wouldn't have been a loss for Chaos Pictures, as Lance would then leak the news to the paparazzi. But if George can't bear it and lets out the news, whether it is with other friends in the discussion circle or directly to Warner Bros., this will inevitably change the situation in the circle.
Under the oppression of Warner Bros., Chaos Pictures not only did not retreat, but also put on such a-for-tat battle, and even did not fall behind at all, which is why Lance chose "Mad Max 4" in the first place. From now on, Chaos Pictures will slowly shine! At that time, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures are not expected to look too good.
Whether it's Warner Bros. or Sony Pictures, they don't want this news to spread quickly, first, because they need to readjust their policies to deal with the changes, and secondly, because they have to save face.
However, Lance would not give them a chance, and he would immediately reveal the news of the intensive preparations for "Mad Max 4" through the paparazzi, and carry out preliminary publicity.
Lance just wanted to make a misleading illusion, as if all the sources were George Clooney, including the paparazzi, creating the illusion that George wanted Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures to lose face. If Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures really took their anger out on George, it would be great; Even if it doesn't, when Lance and George tear up their faces next, George's connections in the circle will be limited to a certain extent, which is even better.
Therefore, the real target of the leaked news has always been Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, or more accurately, stepping on the shoulders of opponents to launch the premiere promotion for "Mad Max 4"; As for using George to achieve this goal, it is just a matter of doing it.
Percy finally reacted at this point, "But, why not choose the paparazzi?" ”
"That's the next step." Jiang Taigong fishes, the willing takes the bait, George is the first step, and the paparazzi is the second step. With Lance's understanding of George, this old friend who is extremely familiar with political methods, will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, "By the way, when you reveal the news, it is better to ...... It's better to worry a little bit, because our project budget is $200 million. ”
Percy thought she understood, but when she heard Lance's words, she couldn't help but open her mouth again, looking stunned. But Lance had no intention of explaining, and turned and opened the door again, leaving Percy alone, and the door was mercilessly shut.
Percy opened her mouth to say something, only to find that her brain was a mess and she didn't know what to say, and most importantly...... How should he do it? Take the initiative to call George to complain, it's too fake! Complaining to George's assistant, this also seems too purposeful! Waiting for George to contact Lance, I don't know how long it will take! Also, what should be the tone of his voice, what does it mean to be a little worried? He's not an actor, how does he know that acting is so fun!
The head was a mess, and he couldn't figure out a train of thought at all, and then the phone suddenly rang, and when he took it out, Percy was directly stunned, it was actually George Clooney! But why did George call now? Percy couldn't help but look up at the room in front of him that had closed the door, did Lance and George have any agreement?
Percy felt a little irritated because he hadn't figured out what to do at all, but he had to pick up the phone anyway, "George." Percy's voice was very short, and even though he tried to hide it, the restlessness, panic, and anxiety inevitably manifested itself, and the chaotic brain could not sort out a single thought.
"I just called Lance and he hasn't answered, is he busy right now?" George's magnetic voice is like a spring breeze, and when you close your eyes, you can imagine the warm and lazy California sun.
"Uh, what are you looking for him?" Percy wasn't sure if he should say it now, or if he should find another time, and he had to deal with the past first in the chaos.
"Nothing, just a 'good night, good luck' internal screening, I wanted to ask him if he had a phone number from Alexander Payne. I forgot to ask last night. George said in a relaxed tone, "Since he's busy, I'll contact him later." ”
"I'll ask Lance to call you back in the evening." Percy politely said that the opportunity was slipping.
"Is Lance very busy? Don't even have time for lunch? George didn't end the conversation, but half-jokingly made small talk, but after a slight pause, George said hesitantly, "Last night Lance said that Gawain is now in a recovery period......
"Oh, no, no. Gawain is fine, he's fine. Percy waved his hand again and again, "It's a matter of work, Lance has been anxious recently because of the 200 million project." Everyone around me is under a lot of pressure right now. Percy keenly seized the fleeting opportunity and blurted out the words, but when he finished speaking, Percy was stunned...... Was he a little too impulsive?
"What? What project? George really had a keen sense of smell, and the fleeting words were immediately captured.
How should he respond now so that George doesn't get suspicious? Percy's thoughts circled, but his words did not pause, "Lance's new work project, as you know, he has been strict with his work, and he has been under more pressure recently, but he is only the one who gives orders, so it is only us who suffers." Percy quietly shifted the subject to Lance, but did not deny the existence of the object, but only diluted the focus as much as possible, as if he had just accidentally slipped his mouth, "Didn't you feel it when you contacted him recently?" ”
"He rarely talks about work." That being said, George was reminded of last night's call and Lance's absence from the "Good Night, Good Luck" internal screening.
Originally, he had been suspecting that Lance was still estranged, so he did everything possible to create the illusion that "Lance is always a part of this movie", and even made a show in front of the media many times, which was not only hoping to appease Lance, but also making second-hand preparations. But now it seems that Lance has something else to do.
No wonder Percy's mood is so irritable today, and the details in his tone can't be concealed at all.
George thought of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures for a while, and "good night, good luck" for a while, and then thought of the project that Lance was preparing...... All the thoughts rushed to my head.
"The last time I heard from a reporter that you were filming the scene of 'Good Night, Good Luck', you also said the same, and everyone was complaining. Maybe Lance told you, but you agreed. Percy's complaint didn't have much effect, George's mind had been diverted at this time, he just exchanged a few words with Percy, trying to dig out something, but Percy was tight-lipped and didn't reveal half a point, and finally the phone hung up in the middle of the two people's hearts.
Percy looked at his phone, still a little apprehensive, and he wasn't sure if he had completed his mission. But...... There is no turning back. Damn Lance!
On the other hand, George was holding his mobile phone, but he was stunned in place, his eyes were distracted, and he was lost in thought. (To be continued.) )
