Chapter 135: Scandal
As soon as he stepped out of the airport, the reporters and fans behind him were still tailing, Link waved at the smiling ones, and then got into the car.
The moment the car door closed, Link's expression suddenly froze.
He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Carl's number.
"Carl, how did you do with the things you just explained?"
Carl's laughter came from the phone: "Don't worry, little boss, it's all filmed, especially the picture of those girls shouting 'win' at the end, it's all a lot." ”
"Well, that's good."
Link hung up the phone, rubbing his face and sighing. He had been laughing for more than half an hour just now, and he felt a dull pain in his facial muscles.
Eminem, who was sitting next to him, cursed angrily: "Next time you dare to use me again, I will kill you without hesitation." ”
Link rolled his eyes, "Okay, unless you don't want to see Gaga anymore." ”
Eminem's face was full of anger and he was silent.
"Shot."
Link laughed: "When I'm done with these few days, I'll take you to see Gaga and talk about it." With that, Link stopped paying attention to him, leaned back in his chair and began to close his eyes and recuperate. He knew he had a lot of work ahead of him.
As the car drove up to CAA TV, Link opened his eyes and jumped off. Hurriedly pulled Carl and rushed to the office.
Fat Jack and Rust blinked, looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Because he was ignored, he just watched the little boss in a hurry. They also hurried in.
As soon as I walked into the office, I saw the little boss holding a camera, as if he was going to import something into the computer.
After a while, Link smiled with satisfaction. Fat Jack and Rust couldn't help but walk behind them, just in time to see that he was about to upload a video to the ShowMe video site.
Link frowned and thought for a while, then tapped on the keyboard a few times and wrote a title: "The god of rap surprised New York International Airport, brought the crew of "Eight Mile" to interact with the fans on the spot, and recorded the whole process of big exposure!" ”
After writing the title, Link clicked the upload button. Leaning back in his chair and laughing.
Fat Jack swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but say, "My little boss, when is it?" You've got time to play Wilbo. ”
While logging into a newly registered account, Link posted a message and added the video he had just uploaded. After all this, he turned back and said, "Is there anything I need to be busy with right now?" ”
"Holy." Fat Jack covered his face and shouted, "What do you say? The garbage movie "Eight Miles" is over. Of course, it's time to start laying out the publicity plan. ”
Link had already clicked on the videos he had just uploaded. I found that more than a hundred people had watched it, and said with a smile: "Propaganda? Am I not promoting? ”
"Little boss, are you kidding?" Even Rust couldn't help but shake his head: "What kind of propaganda is this?" The investment in the promotion of a film should account for at least 30% or more of the total budget, or even more. ”
Luthter is a layman, but he also understands such basic things. He had even begun to wonder if Link was really just testing the waters with a million dollars, as the newspaper said.
The point is. Even if it's to test the waters, you have to try it hard, right? Like he doesn't care about now. If "Eight Mile" is released by then, and few people enter the cinema, it will simply become a joke in the entire media and film industry.
This kind of huge impact cannot be borne by the company at all, and this time it has set up a very negative gap in the hearts of the audience, and it will also have a very bad impact on the future films of CAA Media Group.
This little boss is simply insane.
Thinking of this, Rust's brow was already furrowed deeper and deeper.
But Link had already stood up and stretched with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave the rest to you." ”
As he spoke, Link had already turned around and walked out of the office, leaving only the fat man Jack and Rust in a daze.
"Forget it." Fat Jack also shook his head: "Anyway, it's only a million dollars, and we still lose it." Just think it's the little boss who wipes his ass, it's all his own money anyway. ”
"Wipe your ass?" Luth's cheeks jumped: "And how big does his ass have to be?" ”
Link, who has unknowingly been crowned with the title of 'big ass', has returned home at this time, and is enjoying Mira and Jessica's full body massage, not to mention how comfortable.
As for Eminem and Dy-Gaga's affairs, there is no need to rush it now anyway, he still has time to deal with it.
Although Link didn't care very much, the others didn't.
Link's speech at the airport has already made headlines in the media. This time, there was no need for netizens to petition, and the media reporters were completely shocked.
The New York Times has quickly made the headlines: "Link is crazy, completely crazy!" "Eight Miles" was filmed in ten days, which is simply a speed like a 'god'. However, this god is expected to be the Grim Reaper at the box office. ”
And the "Los Angeles Times" also made headlines in a joking tone: "It's born, and the box office champion of this year's Christmas schedule is born!" Look, on the golden throne, it is written that "Eight Miles" has successfully reached the top with one trillion Zimbabwean coins! Let's cheer with the warmest applause and screams. By the way, a loaf of bread is worth 35 billion Zimbabwean dollars. ”
While the headline has attracted the attention of readers, many people have begun to call the CAA Media Group's help desk to ask questions about "Eight Mile".
Many people shouted into the phone: "This is an insult to Eminem, we will never allow this kind of garbage movie to be released, please let it die in the warehouse." ”
When many Eminem's fans also began to scream, other newspapers and media reports became more ferocious.
The needs of readers are the needs of newspapers.
Therefore, gorgeous reports have appeared in front of people's eyes.
A large number of serious newspapers, this time it is really unsightly, there is no way, who made Link already shout that "Eight Mile" will be the box office champion?
The Washington Post openly criticized: "Mr. Link, we all know you're rich, you're the latest billionaire. A million dollars may really not be much to you. But you have to know how important the status of cinema is in this country. You're not burning money, you're polluting the audience's eyes. ”
For the crazy ridicule and criticism of the major print media giants, Link is naturally in a state of 'ignoring things outside the window', but people in the film industry have already stood up.
"Link's behavior is a desecration of the art of cinema! Shoot a movie in 10 days? Unless the length of the film is only ten minutes. Perhaps we should put it another way: "Eight Mile" is not a movie, but an extended version of an advertisement. ”
Preaching similar to this kind of righteous rhetoric has been widely recognized by many people.
And the major TV stations also began to broadcast Link's speech at the airport, and when everyone saw Link appear on the TV, almost everyone laughed.
"......' 'Eight Mile' will be the box office champion of the Christmas schedule, and I'm not kidding......"
When I saw this, some people even laughed out loud.
"It's so funny, if this guy goes to be a comedian, they will be very successful together. Hahaha......"
Just as the newspapers began to criticize Link in its entirety, gossip magazines also took the stage.
On the cover of the latest "American Entertainment Weekly", there is a photo of "Link smiling, accepting kisses from teenage fans". There is also a small photo of 'Link sticking out his middle finger' in the corner, which has suddenly become the latest topic of gossip lovers.
Similarly, when a well-known gossip tabloid typed out: "Link has a new love, and the heroine of "Eight Mile" openly 'Rachel. McAdams' courtship. He said she was beautiful and his favorite. ”
In this report, there is also a photo of 'Linkla holding Rachel's little hand and smiling happily'.
The people who bought this gossip newspaper all smiled in surprise and shouted: "Look, I knew that this kid couldn't grow up with Mira." Look, I'm hooking up with Rachel again right away. However, Rachel is really pretty, and it's a shame to be able to get enough of Link. ”
When the gossip tabloid was a big hit, countless paparazzi began to camp at the hotel where Rachel was staying. Everyone shouted in their hearts with the best hopes: "Come on, hold hands, kiss better, go to the hotel together, anything." ”
And this tabloid has also successfully attracted the attention of netizens, and many people have begun to shout: "Together, together." ”
This gossip storm of 'together' suddenly labeled Link as a 'playboy', and I am afraid that jumping into the Mississippi River will not be able to wash it away.
When Rachel hung up the phone from the first reporter she didn't know, her expression became a little sad.
And Amy, who was on the side, was also looking at her with strange eyes, and the corners of her mouth still had a hint of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
When Rachel saw his expression, she suddenly became angry, and said angrily, "It's not what you think at all, you bastard is smiling obscenely." ”
Amy couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. While laughing, he said, "Okay Rachel, I saw you two together when I was on the set, what else do you have to say?" ”
"No, it's not like that at all, we're just talking about the script. Then...... It was Link who was instructing me on how to perform. ”
Despite Rachel's best explanations, Amy never believed her 'nonsense'. (To be continued......)
