"Are you crazy? Did you hear what you said yourself? You've lost your mind now! Are you really going to go to court? Do you know how serious this can be on your reputation? Look at Michael Jackson, even if he won the **** case, those negative impressions can never be erased! What we should do now is to end this as soon as possible and not go any further. Pen%Fun%www.biquge.info You don't want to be like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and get entangled in negative news! George, tell me, is what Lance said true? Did he write this script after all? ”

Mark Johnson only felt that his whole body was about to explode, looking at George Clooney sitting on the sofa, he wanted to step forward and grab his neck and vent his anger well, but he couldn't, he had to calm down.

Not only because George is now facing the biggest crisis in his career, once this stigma is contaminated, he will have to bear it for a lifetime, especially since George is now seeking a breakthrough in directing, if he is not careful, George's acting career may be silent; Also because he knew they were dealing with Lance, the man who could never be underestimated, when Ben Affleck entered the "Sin City" crew, he underestimated Lance, which led to his dereliction of duty, and now the company has transferred Ben and Matt Damon to another agent.

"If the lawsuit is won, there will be no problem." George didn't answer Mark's question head-on, but insisted on his own opinion.

Mark only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't breathe, he put his hands on his waist and took two big breaths before calming down again, "So, Lance is lying?" ”

George could feel Mark's hot, determined gaze as he stared at him unflinchingly. George calmly stepped forward and repeated again, "Everything else doesn't matter, as long as the lawsuit can be won, we can completely turn the situation around, right?" ”

"Grass!" Mark said calmly, hitting the wall in response, which made George choke on his words, and then felt Mark's gaze lock motionlessly on him, George exhaled softly, avoiding Mark's gaze, "What he said is true." ”

"Grass! Grass! Grass! Mark was furious, turned around and kicked his desk hard, slurs after sentence, eager to turn into the Hulk and tear down the entire office.

After all the emotions were vented, Mark rearranged his tie, finally regained his composure, and turned to look at George again, "I don't care what kind of grudge you have between you and Lance, and I don't care how stupid you are to not see how ignorant your actions are. George opened his mouth to speak, but Mark raised his voice slightly, and forced George down, the powerful momentum made George really a little embarrassed, "I need you now, immediately go to the copyright office to re-register, and add the name of 'Lancelot-damn Strello' to the list of screenwriters!" Immediately! ”

"Doesn't that mean I'm admitting the facts?" George's usual grace and calmness also began to lose control at this time, and he couldn't help but sit up straight and shouted to Mark, "Tell you, I will never admit it!" Not until death! George gritted his teeth and looked at Mark, "Lance has no evidence in his hands, he doesn't have any evidence to prove!" ”

"Hell God, did Lance reject your courtship in the first place? Why can't you come to your senses now? Mark roared angrily, and the green tendons on his neck began to bulge, using every muscle in his body to express his excitement at the moment, "What if Lance doesn't have any evidence in his hands?" Will he go to court? You're not stupid, Lance isn't crazy, he's not completely sure, he's going to go straight to court? If that's the case, isn't Hollywood going to mess up? ”

Every once in a while, someone in Hollywood will be involved in the issue of plagiarism and infringement. But now it is not the thirties and forties of the last century, and now the copyright system is very perfect, although the situation of ghostwriting by gunmen still exists, but it is far less rampant than it was at the beginning.

"He has no proof!" George still didn't give up, and yelled at his neck.

He didn't want to admit it, he refused to admit it, the object could be anyone, it couldn't be Lance, the Lance who was abandoned by him at the beginning. All the while, George has shown enough wisdom and calmness in front of Ryan, Tucker, and Jason and others, as if he doesn't care about Lance at all, but he is as arrogant as George has never really accepted the fact that Lance has risen again. George made a calm judgment and chose Ryan and gave up Lance, which was a decision that condensed wisdom and strategy, and once he admitted Lance's success, it meant admitting his failure, and more importantly, admitting that he was far from being as good as he imagined.

George refused to admit it.

"What do you think Lance should do without evidence? He should call you, argue with you, and hope you will come forward and tell the truth! He should come to Los Angeles in person, confront you head-on, look you in the eye, and expose your lies! He should seek out reporters, seek out the paparazzi, or even seek Warner Bros. to expose your misdeeds! But in reality, how did he do it? Mark didn't give George any respite at all, and fiercely suppressed George's pride and self-confidence, sentence after sentence, step by step, until Mark was forced into a corner, "He went straight to the court!" No one knew what he intended until the court summons came out! So, you come and tell me, he has no evidence! ”

"No, it won't......" George shook his head subconsciously, he didn't even react, just stubbornly denied it. Then, George jerked his head up, "What if he doesn't have any evidence and just tricks me into turning himself in?" What if I admit my mistake and then he mocks me again? ”

Mark laughed angrily at this time, but shook his head slightly, and sighed, "George, you're not twenty years old!" George's cheeks were cold and hot at a light word, so he was not embarrassed.

They have to take risks, and if they stay the course and pin all their hopes on a lawsuit, then the matter is very simple, or Lance has the proof, and then George's career is ruined, and there may not even be a chance to turn around - because he knows what he is wrong; Either Lance has no evidence, and then George Salty Fish turned over and really stepped on Lance again, especially Lance's "slander" behavior, coupled with the blockade of Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures, George can use his connections to make Lance completely fall into the abyss.

However, this kind of extreme behavior, which is either survival or death, has never been the choice of truly intelligent people. If it is too strong, it is easy to break, and if it is too rigid, it is easy to break. Smart people will choose a safe way to end the matter with minimal loss, and control the potential harm and benefits within the effective range, and everything is under control.

"You go to the copyright office right now, put that damn name in it, and put all the blame on me, on the producers, and show that we made a mistake in registering the copyright and didn't fill in Lance's name as a way to quell the negative rhetoric." Mark was bitterly reassured.

In fact, those who are really smart will not believe this way, and it is nonsense to put it on display, as George said, it is tantamount to admitting his plagiarism. But on the other hand, this way can fool the ignorant people, calm the chaos as soon as possible, minimize the damage, and as soon as time passes, things will disappear, and people will soon forget about it, only remembering that George Clooney is a handsome and charismatic actor.

This is the right PR method, not to leave no scars, but to minimize the scars and then slowly heal them, rather than to bandage and put a plaster cast after drawing a big hole.

"But......" George only felt that he was about to gasp, "but no one in the circle will believe it, they all know that once I do this, it means that I have admitted to plagiarizing the facts, and I have spent countless efforts to cover up the facts, and the image and connections I have worked so hard to build are ruined!" ”

Discredited, if he really re-wrote Lance's name into the list, it would not only be a humiliation for him, but the Lance he tried his best to suppress would eventually fight back; What's more, his fame and reputation will completely collapse, how can he straighten his back in front of those producers, how can he talk and laugh in front of those screenwriters. This will be a fatal blow to his position in the industry.

"I don't know if Lance has grassed your chrysanthemum/flower, you hate him so much. But, George, listen to me, you should know that fame in the circle is important, but the support of the audience is even more important. As long as you can get through it and regain the support of the audience, even if the big studios hate you, they will come to you for filming. Mark said earnestly, "If you look at Lance, almost half of Hollywood hates him, but no one really rejects him, why?" Because he's able to make money, because he's a genius! ”

George raised his head, the blankness in his eyes was struggling, but Mark felt that hatred of iron could not become steel, and George, who was usually the wisest and wisest, was actually like Ben, stupid and stubborn, arrogant and arrogant. He let out a long breath, "George, Warner Bros. has spoken out, and if the matter is not resolved within three days, they will have to act." ”

Seeing that the wind makes the rudder, the stone falls into the well, and the retribution is unpleasant. (To be continued.) )
