Gently pulled up the curtains, the reporters on the street outside the window were bustling, just now Mark said that there were 200 reporters present today, but now there are at least 500 people on the street, such a grand occasion is one of the best even in the summer premiere, but now it appears in the driveway of his house.

George Clooney found it ironic.

Just half a month ago, the screening of "Good Night, Good Luck" caused a sensation throughout North America, and riding the east wind of "eavesdropping", it was unstoppable and unstoppable, and it was rare to see such a powerful attention, and it seemed that the whole world was already at your fingertips. But now, those attention has become a reminder, how hot the previous discussion was, how fierce the influence of "plagiarism" was.

In just 48 hours, "Plagiarism" has gone out of the North American continent and spread in Asia and Europe, with more than 700 media outlets around the world publishing more than 2,700 news articles and tracking reports, of which more than two-thirds are from North America.

Imagine, as the pioneer of condemning the "eavesdropping door", "Good night, good luck" carried the expectations and instructions of countless audiences, but now this work itself is involved in a plagiarism storm, and it seems that it is difficult to protect itself, not to mention the role of suppressing "eavesdropping" as a medium, which undoubtedly makes the audience angry, ashamed, hateful, and complaining, and the negative emotions increase in a two- or three-fold attitude, and then vent towards "Good night, good luck".

The most incredible thing is that the popularity of online discussions has reached a new high, with more than 40 million search hots in 48 hours, almost making Google's servers start to be congested, and the frequency of discussions in major communities has crossed the million threshold, and the discussion areas of several major portals are even more lively.

From standing at the top of the country to pointing the country, to falling to the bottom of the valley and being disgraced, everything happened between lightning and flint. How high-spirited "good night, good luck" was, and how heartbroken George Clooney was at this time. Now it seems that the past half a month has been more like cooking oil and flowers, all of which are paving the way for the current disintegration and fragmentation.

Ridiculous, pathetic, lamentable.

George looked out the window at the crowd, he didn't watch the news, he didn't watch the Internet, but just the scene in front of him made him feel a deep sense of despair. But George knew better that this was just the beginning, and that by the time the press conference was over, the whole world would be over, and everyone was waiting to see his jokes.

George's fists couldn't help but clench quietly, and the muscles in his body were tensed to the extreme, so that he began to tremble slightly, and what was even more shameful was that in the past two days, Lance had not contacted him from beginning to end, did not call to show off his might, nor shouted in any form, as if he had ...... As if he were an insignificant and shameless man, that kind of understatement was far more ruthless than a real fist, and he could feel that contempt and contempt in the depths of his soul.

It's not over, it's not over. Since Lance wanted to play the game, he was with him to the end. This is Hollywood, and the turnaround is only a matter of moments, and so is Lance, and so is he. It's just that this time he won't take it lightly again, and he won't show mercy to his subordinates, he wants to watch Lance fall into disgrace and shatter his bones, he wants to watch Lance fall into hell and burn in flames, and he wants to watch what Lance cherishes dissipate little by little.

In order to make a comeback, he must be calm and must first get through the crisis in front of him.

The fist slowly unhooked, but twitched a little from too much force, and George calmly put his right hand into his pants pocket, hiding his panic, and then walked to the door with his head held high. Mark gripped the doorknob and asked, "Are you ready?" George, you know, we can't make mistakes, we can't make any mistakes! ”

George just looked at Mark calmly, then nodded slightly. There is no need for any justification, and actual actions are the best evidence.

Mark looked directly into George's eyes, looked carefully, and then pressed down with his right hand, and the door lock opened, and then, Mark opened the door panel, and the flashing lights like a waterfall were vented down, and George strode out, and his whole figure was directly engulfed by the silver halo.

Before the newspaper was released, Percy had already taken the lead in getting the internal advance edition at twelve o'clock at midnight, "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal" and "San Francisco Chronicle", which was enough to represent the views of the mainstream media in the United States.

Lance was sitting cross-legged on the couch with five or six stacks of storyboards in front of him, and he was looking down at them, intently reading. Hearing the sound of the door opening and not looking up, Percy hesitated for a moment and stopped across the coffee table, "Lance, is this what we planned?" ”

Lance still didn't look up, but the pencil in his hand paused slightly, Percy knew that Lance's attention had come over, and he continued, "George held a press conference, and he said that it was all just a misunderstanding, and that the script was indeed written by you and him, but in the final version, only about 30% of the part belonged to your first draft, so I put your name behind him and Grant-Heslov. As a result, when registering the copyright, the assistant omitted the document that belonged to you, so it was not declared. Hell God, he spews feces all over his mouth, and the reporters actually believe it? This is a ridiculous lie! Is there a mistake in the declaration? He might as well say that he/did/sex/found the wrong hole! ”

Percy couldn't bear it anymore, and vented his anger irritably, only to see the corners of Lance's mouth chuckling, which made Percy even more speechless, "You're still laughing?" Jesus Christ, don't you perceive His schemes? Put all the blame on the assistant and then you can get away with it? ”

"He apologized, didn't he?" Lance looked up and said with a smile.

Percy looked at Lance's azure eyes, and was actually stunned, because there was a pleasant smile flashing in his eyes, as if he was not affected at all, "Yes, but ...... But is it okay to apologize? Percy felt like her lungs were going to explode, "Didn't you hear me say?" George actually blamed all the blame on the assistant! ”

"When the rest of the crew sees you like this, they probably have to fall through their glasses." Lance's answer was not in the horse's mouth, which made Percy purse the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and watched the curvature of Lance's mouth rise slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, at the end of the article, Grant was mentioned...... I'm not sure, the last three works have been with George? ”

Percy paused, looked down at the top copy of the Los Angeles Times, and looked shocked, "Yes, the past four consecutive works are ...... It was also mentioned...... Back then, 'Batman and Robin' was also Grant's matchmaking, which allowed George to enter Warner Bros. vision. ”

"Oh, I don't know." Lance raised an eyebrow, he really didn't know anything about such inside information, "But I know that George and Grant are good friends in a pair of pants." ”

Grant was born as an actor and entered Hollywood in the eighties, but his strength is average, his appearance is average, and he has never achieved much. But Lance knew that Grant and George were very good friends, and after entering the 21st century, all the works that Grant participated in filming, producing, and screenwriting were related to George.

"But...... This, so what? Percy was puzzled and said, "I don't see the media condemning him, it seems that everyone has accepted his apology, which is ridiculous!" ”

"George has put my name on the list of writers and registered the rights. In other words, the purpose of my appeal has been achieved, and George apologized, and George, who is well-connected all over the world, took the initiative to bow his head. So, what are you looking forward to? "Truth be told, George didn't get into that hole, and Lance was a little disappointed.

The reason why Lance didn't directly take out his first draft was to lure/trick George into standing up and shouting "wronged", as long as George quibbled, Lance immediately presented evidence, which really made George speechless, and George was the real disgrace at that time. But apparently, George wasn't that stupid, and the team behind him wasn't that stupid, with instant stops and damage reduced to manageable. This crisis PR is really outstanding.

But Lance wasn't expecting to take down George in one go, because he knew exactly how deeply rooted George's connections were in Hollywood. So Lance put on an attitude of speaking with facts at the beginning, not only to win public sympathy, but also to refuse to be aggressive and show his professional posture, so that people in the circle know that Lance has suffered a loss, even if George can get rid of it, but the balance in everyone's heart will be tilted.

Since George's connections are deeply rooted, Lance is uprooting little by little!

"Believe me, the next step is for George to take the initiative to come over and apologize to me, and give me the copyright fee to do a full set of plays." Lance knew that now that the crisis PR had begun, George's team would not leave a handle on the matter, and would even force him to take the initiative to smooth out the negative impact, "However, things are not just what George says. Those media are hinting at the relationship between George and Grant, in fact, they are implying that George did it on purpose, using Grant to take my place, and deliberately registered the copyright of the two of them. Although on the surface, George took the initiative to back down, admit his mistake and take the matter, the news media will not rest on his laurels. ”

There are smart people in the circle, they don't chase after them, they just don't have enough benefits.

"So, let's just leave it at that?" Percy still felt unwilling and angry.

Lance smiled lightly, "Of course not. He waited so long for this day, naturally he would not let George get rid of it easily, he not only wanted George to be ruined, but also to make George isolated! Since the media did not continue to dig, then he gave the media a little benefit sweetness and made them not relent. (To be continued.) )
