Chapter 630: Embattled (Second Update)

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

"Another Playboy Triumph" - Although we don't know what the specific entanglement is, we can say with certainty that between Playboy and James Cameron, 20th Century Fox chose the former, and of course, if it were me, I would have chosen the former. k update

This victory may not really be a big deal for Playboy, but his influence on the entire film industry is now on full display, and he is no match for anyone or any studio - Chicago Sun News

- James Cameron's last reluctant cry, the grievances and dissatisfaction of the crew, although Kingchan has always stayed out of the matter, but it is clear that he is the X-factor that decides everything - The New York Times

The day after James Cameron was kicked out, the media was generally full of similar comments, and the common point was obvious, that is, everyone thought that it was the playboy who finally made James Cameron finally get out, no matter what he did or not, but 20th Century Fox definitely made that decision because of him, that is, he was at least an indirect killer.

Faced with this situation, Playboy once again stepped forward and held a press conference at the headquarters of the Golden Morning Film Group in Hollywood, Los Angeles, to explain what happened.

The playboy's face was cold when he appeared, which was news to the entertainers, this guy often wore a signature smile that fascinated people, and he didn't talk nonsense, as soon as he sat down, waved his hand, signaled to be quiet, and then began to read his super simple statement:

"First of all, I would like to thank 20th Century Fox for his love to me, and secondly, I decided not to continue to negotiate with 20th Century Fox to play in "Titanic", as for the director, it has nothing to do with me!"

The entertainment reporters were still waiting for the playboy to continue, but after the playboy said this, he began to stare at the entertainment reporters, and then, when one of them was about to ask a question, he preemptively said coldly: "If there is a problem, hurry up, or I'll leave!" ”

"King, why did you suddenly make such a decision?" The Hollywood Chronicle's guy named Aemond was always able to get a head start.

The playboy was still expressionless, and said lightly, "You should know better than me, probably the whole country is accusing me of forcing James Cameron out and secretly now, although I don't care about that, but I don't want that kind of name to fall on my head, I don't need to wronged myself for such a little foot." ”

"However, James Cameron secretly accused you at the end, and said that he wanted to see your good show, don't you want to respond to him?" This guy from USA Today clearly wants to sow discord and make some big news when the playboy is angry.

In a sense, he succeeded, and the playboy snorted, "Do you think it's necessary for me to be like him, and do I need some kind of clown to judge my achievements?" ”

"But will your decision be too hasty, after all, the media is not really accusating, but just expressing their opinions on this matter, and your decision will even make 20th Century Fox and "Titanic" really fall into a Jedi predicament?" Los Angeles Times

Playboy said coldly: "Speaking of sloppiness, you should ask the people at 20th Century Fox that they fired a certain director." ”

James Cameron's fired squid is not too sensational, after Playboy issued a simple statement, the whole United States knew about it, at this time, although everyone is still a little confused about the truth of the matter, but at least, even if it is now thought that Playboy is the reason why Playboy asked James Cameron to get out of the 20th Century Fox, but that is also a unilateral decision made by 20th Century Fox, this is because of the impression left by Playboy's previous good conduct, He has always been a true gentleman, and the playboy really doesn't seem to have any reason to get involved, he doesn't worry about filming, money, fame, he has almost everything that everyone dreams of. …,

At this time, more people also came forward to defend Playboy, and interestingly, James Cameron also said in another interview: "He never meant to blame Playboy, he was just disappointed in what Fox did in the 20th century, and that decision was very stupid." ”

Playboy easily reversed the wind, and at the same time, he took advantage of the situation to tilt things more smoothly in his favor!

20th Century Fox doesn't know what Playboy thinks, they are really in a hurry, and now James Cameron has driven them away, if Playboy really refuses all possibilities of cooperation, then "Titanic" will really hit the iceberg and sink.

William Campbell came to the door as soon as possible, and he was already inclined to join Jinchen Film Group, but his good professional ethics made him still work hard for "Titanic".

"King, can't you abandon us at this time?" The playboy received William Campbell at home because of his good impression, but William Campbell didn't care about this courtesy at all, and began to lobby as soon as he saw the playboy.

"William, I think you should be very clear about my previous situation, everyone is accusing me, I have already carried the black cauldron, do I want to continue?" Playboy can be very shameless and insidious when he finds out that he is going to be shameless now, "What reason do I have to continue?" ”

Go on, if you succeed, there are also flaws in playing big names to squeeze people out, if you don't succeed, it will become a laughing stock, and the playboy has no shortage of success at all, let alone money.

William Campbell smiled bitterly, "You can completely ignore what those people say, we will also try our best to calm this matter, and we will definitely not let you carry any black pots." ”

"Really?" The playboy chuckled, a little mockingly, and burst into a foul language, "What kind of bullshit statement did you guys at the end that sincerely invited me to be the director, do you know what it feels like to hear it in the ears of those who don't know, that is, I have already had a deal with you, I think you know this, then what have I become, scapegoat?" ”

“king！” William Campbell was still waiting to say more, and the playboy had already waved his hand, "William, you don't need to say more, you know my temper!" ”

William Campbell scratched his head in annoyance and smiled bitterly, "Then you can kill me, I said on the board of directors at the time that I should be able to convince you, although it was a collective decision in the end, but my words played an important role." ”

"Who told you to be so sloppy?" When the playboy said this, he looked like a scoundrel who didn't do anything else, William Campbell naturally couldn't accuse him, and scratched his head again, "Do you think it's necessary to drag it out any longer, in the case of choosing one of the two, since you can take over, and you can provide security, we don't have any illusions that you will make that thing better, and if it were anyone, it would be quick to cut through the mess!" ”

The playboy was speechless, to be honest, if he hadn't deliberately dug a hole, 20th Century Fox would never have faced the current situation, because the playboy would definitely take over the "Titanic" at the request of the face, and he wouldn't really care about what the media said, and when the time comes, as long as "Titanic" is a big success, those guys will naturally immediately turn the wind and sing praises for him - too much about the media's statement is not the style of a successful big name, the style of the big man is to guide the media, Not to mention toying them with applause, but also to make them react the way he wants to follow his actions.

One wrong step, one wrong step, from the very beginning, 20th Century Fox unknowingly slipped into the pit dug by Playboy, of course, they also came to the door first, otherwise, Playboy would not have played such a big game. ..., William Campbell returned home, 20th Century Fox really panicked, in other words, the old guys are still a little cheeky, and some say that they want James Cameron back, but, don't say that their attitude is not resolute, because they are still running at both ends, hoping to finally say that the playboy, James Cameron is also a temperant, he put so ruthless words at the beginning, this fart ran back, that's not his character!

What about other people, Hollywood's famous and famous directors will never accept such a mess, because this is a thing made by James Cameron, no one understands what it is, and the problem is even more serious, it has already cost 150 million US dollars, and it hasn't started filming yet.

If you don't follow James Cameron's example, if you want to tear it down and start over, how much will it cost, and if the playboy doesn't play anymore, then it's even more useless. Besides, if it is changed, it will not be James Cameron's, 20th Century Fox will not waste the previous 150 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox is not a playboy, and a playboy can throw this money out without blinking an eye.

What about the little director, 20th Century Fox is not at ease, besides, the problem is still in the fact that the playboy does not act, otherwise, get a little director, and then let the playboy "guide" on the side, and then there may be a miracle.

But at this time, the playboy had already left Los Angeles and went to New York, looking like he wanted to avoid this place of right and wrong, and he didn't even answer the phone. At the same time, Paramount, which had been negotiating the distribution rights in the United States because of the appearance of Playboy, immediately stopped all possible cooperation.

As a result, 20th Century Fox is really a bit of an embattled situation, although it is not enough to talk about the difficulties encountered by the original joint film company "Heaven's Gate", but a big Waterloo has come to an eye, all the work of "Titanic" has to be temporarily stopped, and the people in the company are thinking about how to solve this crisis.
