913 is at stake
Dorothy Wright walked out of the elevator in a hurry, signaling her two assistants, one to stay at the elevator door, and the other at the emergency staircase, if the paparazzi followed, they could be the first to find out, and then strode all the way forward, the thick carpet almost completely absorbing the sound of her footsteps, and the silence in the air was filled with a heaviness and depression that hindered her breathing in the humming noise of the air conditioner, as if running underwater, even if she used all her strength, the distance she ran out was very small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Las Vegas hotels are always like this, every detail, every corner is filled with the comfort and soothing of drunken dreams, but unconsciously swallowing the soul little by little.
Stopping at the door of the room, Dorothy didn't have time to adjust her breathing, she rushed all the way from the airport, she didn't even have time to drink saliva, her mobile phone was still ringing in the elevator just now, she had to temporarily adjust to mute, the "Fury Road" controversy has deteriorated far beyond imagination, and now everything must be temporarily suppressed, otherwise Dorothy doesn't know what will happen next.
Unable to care about the lady, Dorothy slapped the door hard, looked left and right again vigilantly, and made sure that the paparazzi did not follow, and then the door of the room opened, and Percy's cold face appeared in front of her, Dorothy only had time to raise her hand to say hello, and pushed the door open and walked straight in, bringing a light breeze. Percy opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't say anything, and gently closed the door of her room.
As soon as she walked into the living room, Dorothy couldn't help but be stunned, her sight was full of people, and the number of guests was far beyond imagination, but after a glance, Dorothy didn't see Lance - no one could miss his presence, Dorothy frowned, and found Cole Grad at once, "Where is Lance?" ”
Cole's expression was a little strange, "...... take a bath," but after saying that, he looked at the other people in the living room, and couldn't help but feel that such a statement was ambiguous, and added an explanation, "He just came back from a round of golf with a friend." ”
"What?" Dorothy's eyes widened, she didn't realize it, her voice couldn't help but raise an octave, and she reacted after she spoke, but this was not the time to take care of her personal image, she adjusted her breathing and lowered her voice, "What time did Lance arrive in Las Vegas?" Nine? Ten o'clock? What time is the program recorded? Five o'clock in the afternoon? He still has time to play golf? Dorothy thought it was all incredible.
"Fury Road" is now under the impact of the storm, even if they try their best, they may not be able to find an effective solution, all of them can't wait to rush to Las Vegas, just to negotiate a proper response in the middle of Lance's busy propaganda gap, not only Lance, Charlize, Michael, Emma, Giselle and others are no exception, all are closely related to this incident, their agents and publicists are sitting in the living room at this time, But Lance still has the leisure to play golf? Even hung everyone in the living room and went to take a shower?
This is really beyond Dorothy's understanding.
"Hey, Dorothy." Behind him came Lance's brisk voice, Dorothy turned around suddenly, and then saw Lance who was dressed neatly, he was buttoning the cufflinks of his shirt, and his open collar had a hint of laziness, but Dorothy had already been immune to Lance, and directly skipped the slender fingertips that fiddled with the buttons, suppressing her anger, "Tell me, you went to play golf today, is it a meeting with important people?" ”
As we all know, golf is an important social occasion, and many business transactions, network development, and black-box operations are done on that vast golf course. If Lance had found time to play golf for the sake of the "Fury Road", that would make sense.
"No, it's just a get-together with an old friend from outside the circle." When Lance was a student at USC, his major had nothing to do with film, and a small number of old classmates who still kept in touch were scattered across all walks of life.
Dorothy's eyes suddenly bulged out, "Lance! That gaffe was really rare, and I remember that this was the first time Dorothy had lost control of her temper in front of Lance, and this time, Dorothy did not suppress her voice, and fell down like a plantain in the rain an octave high, "Do you know how bad the situation is now?" Do you know how terrible negative news can be right now? Now all the teams are busy, everyone is waiting for instructions from Chaos Pictures, and if we don't care, we may capsize, but you still have time to play golf! Is your brain pitted with a golf ball? Or are you going to drag all of us into the water with you! I know you're a jerk, no, you're a mad psychopath, but if you want to go crazy, get out of the way to Alaska! ”
The living room was silent, completely silent, and after venting all her anger heartily, Dorothy realized that she had crossed the line.
In the last four days, things have changed too fast, and too turbulent, Dorothy has been doing her best to prevent things from getting worse, but obviously the black hand behind it is far more powerful than her, and the situation is getting worse every day, there is no way to stop the extreme remarks, and it is already Saturday in the blink of an eye, and the decline in the box office of "Fury Road" when it ushered in an avalanche in the second week seems to have been set in stone, this is the most difficult and powerless event that Dorothy has encountered since becoming a publicist, It has even become a career crisis for her. More than seventy-two hours without sleep pushed Dorothy's spirit to the extreme.
So, she crossed the line.
As a professional publicist, she actually scolded her clients in public, which is absolutely not tolerated. This is not only a damage to the image of the person concerned, but also an injury to the dignity of the person, and it is one thing to do anything behind closed doors, and quite another thing to be in public. The number one rule of a PR person is to never get into a conflict with a client in public. What's more, she faces Lance, the Lance who disgraces both Warner Bros. and Disney.
Her actions today, from any point of view, are absolutely undeserved, and there is no reason to forgive.
Gathering her courage, Dorothy looked up at Lance, but was surprised to find that Lance was completely lifeless, and even had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and her calm appearance made her a little embarrassed, and at the same time, a wave of anger rose up, and she just wanted to punch Lance hard - this man did know exactly how to provoke others. Then, Dorothy saw Lance gently tuck her chin, "You can tell from your reaction that the situation is really bad right now. ”
A ridicule swept away Dorothy's embarrassment, and the stone in her heart was slightly lowered, her hands crossed her waist, and her waist straightened, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!" Otherwise, it's not over! You have to know how serious this PR crisis really is! One mistake can completely ruin your career! It's even worse than Mel Gibson. ”
It stands to reason that Dorothy is just Lance's personal PR for the crisis facing the "Fury Road", and she doesn't need to worry about it at all. But the situation is very tricky, and if you can't turn the situation around, and let the negative news run rampant, you are likely to offend the conservative men, but also the conservative women, and even the feminists, and that's when things really go wrong.
Mel had only offended the Jews, and Lance was now in danger of offending everyone.
Lance turned his head to look at the hall, the important relevant personnel of the crew were there, the main person in charge of Chaos Pictures was also there, and even Theo, Ian and Gawain all appeared, and all of them were there. Lance's identity is very special, he is not only the producer and director of the film, but also one of the bosses of Chaos Pictures, so how to deal with this crisis, the entire crew must reach a consensus and work together to overcome the difficulties, which is what happened in front of us.
After buttoning them one by one, Lance walked down the hall and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there is a solution to everything, the question is whether we can find it." After coming out of the bathroom, Lance maintained a calm and calm attitude from beginning to end, and the confident composure seemed to infect everyone, even Dorothy's mood calmed down, and the panic in the hall was gradually dissipating.
Percy, who was standing next to him, could clearly feel this change in detail, and he couldn't help but wonder: Did Lance deliberately go to play golf today? And then deliberately left everyone here to take a shower?
Lance sat down next to Ian, without any extra politeness, "What we have to do now is to make the controversy a little more violent." The current situation is far from what I expected. The first sentence went straight to the point, and everyone was stunned, and now the headlines of the entertainment pages of all newspapers and magazines are related news, and the words of "Fury Road" are simply overwhelming, but Lance said that he would continue to add fuel to the fire? And, this has not lived up to his expectations? Now that this chaos has left them overwhelmed and overwhelmed, Lance still wants to continue to add to the chaos? This...... It doesn't seem right to understand it.
Lance did not pause, and continued, "Compared to last year's controversy over the 'Passion of the Christ,' we are now nothing more than a drizzle, and we are not on the list at all. What we need is a downpour of rain that truly turns controversy into a war of bayonets. ”
Everyone fell silent, as if their thoughts couldn't keep up with Lance's rhythm, even professional PR needed a little time to digest, and then Lance's voice was heard continuingly, "We're going to get the feminists to join in." There was a coldness in that calm voice, which made people shudder. (To be continued.) )
