Chapter 122
"What?" Fals was taken aback, and asked worriedly: "But if you do this! Don't you want to have a complete quarrel with Universal Pictures?"
"Don't worry!" Gavin shook his head and said, "Look at how many news media are promoting our news now, Universal Pictures will not retaliate! It is impossible for him to fight against so many news media at the same time! Because Such a price is too great, even if it is so powerful that Universal Pictures cannot afford it!"
If you think about it carefully, what Gavin said is indeed true. Now the topic of mummies has become the hottest topic in the United States, as long as there is a slight headline, it will get sales. The whole of the United States seems to be out of date if you don't promote mummies.
The media flocked to the site are too numerous to count. There are many sayings in it, and there are not a few people who guess that this incident is a prank.
The spearheads are aimed at anyone, and there are many methods against the previous enemies in the mall.
In this chaotic environment, even if you say that all of this was done by the US government with ill intentions, malicious intentions, and inexplicable reasons, there will be no trouble.
It's just that this guy named Fars is too timid.
This Gavin is naturally none other than Ander's elder brother. The reason why he helps his younger brother is of course not entirely based on the relationship between brothers.
As he himself said, Hollywood, a city with a glamorous appearance, hides a desperate darkness! Without enough interest, no one will help other people.
Gavin is no exception. The reason why he targeted Zhang Dongcheng was not only to help Ander, but more importantly, he could take advantage of this opportunity to help the Los Angeles Media Advisory to achieve a leap forward development, and in turn serve as a springboard. Seek a brighter future.
And this newspaper was just acquired by Gavin with a lot of money. Naturally, Gavin had to work harder to increase the value of his assets.
Fals is the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, and sometimes Gavin also listens to his opinions. But this time, Gavin made up his mind and went all the way to the end.
Hacking Zhang Dongcheng, helping his brother vent his anger, and bringing sales to the newly acquired newspaper, killing two birds with one stone, perfect.
Fals seemed to be really convinced by Gavin, nodded fiercely, and said: "Okay, I understand. I will continue to strengthen the promotion!"
Gavin smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Mr. Fars, don't worry, you won't be disappointed. I still have a top-secret news in my hand. As long as it is publicized, the mummy that is about to be filmed will be killed in an instant." Knock down the abyss!"
"Oh?" Fars showed interest, looked at his boss, and said with admiration: "Really? I don't know what kind of news it is!"
"Hahaha, with this blockbuster weapon in hand, the sales of our newspaper will definitely increase tenfold tomorrow! Now, let me listen to it for you!" Gavin laughed, his eyes full of satisfaction, his face Fars, the general manager of the newspaper, didn't have to hide anything. He just took out a small tape recorder and pressed the play button.
Fals pricked up his ears, watching the rotation of the cassette, a voice sounded.
"Big... Hi everyone, my name is Tom!"
Another voice came. "My name is Jerry."
"The two of us are security guards at the Getty Center, and we happened to be on duty the night before the mummy spoke!"
The owners of these two voices are the two security guards who placed the playback equipment under the mummy's head. Then the two of them told a story intermittently.
The two claimed that they were entrusted by an oriental director to place a sound playback device under the mummy's head. Take it the next day. During this period, Zhang Dongcheng's name was not mentioned at all.
This is Gavin's brilliance, he doesn't need to tell everything, he just needs to give a reason, and let the public imagine what he means. Then in the end these people will be 100% convinced that everything was done by Zhang Dongcheng.
After listening to Tom and Jerry's revelations, Fals' eyes were red. Finding the ultimate root cause of the matter that the people of the United States cares about the most will make the Los Angeles News stand out in the cruel competition!
"Haha, boss, it's hard not to imagine that the sales of the Los Angeles Media Newspaper will increase by ten times!" Eagerly, Fals was convinced by Gavin.
The next day, an interview report of Tom and Jerry appeared in the newspaper issued by Los Angeles Media Information.
Although Zhang Dongcheng's name was not directly mentioned, the two key pieces of information, the director from Dongfang and the mummy, already make people understand everything.
Karl, who learned all this, suddenly couldn't care about anything else, and immediately got into a fight with this small company that was previously unknown.
Unfortunately, no real evidence can be produced. Facing the aggressiveness of the Los Angeles Media Advisory, the reputation of Universal Pictures has been deteriorating. During the period, there were even small-scale demonstrations by Americans who hated being fooled.
Although more people are still skeptical, it's enough to make Universal's boss Carl feel overwhelmed. He couldn't think of his brilliant idea, but was completely guessed, and even found the person involved!
He didn't know, it was Gavin who made this mistake.
Jang Dongcheng has not received news of what happened in the United States. He still lives a full life of filming British scenes and searching for JK Rowling.
Early in the morning, the crew was being greeted to shoot several scenes in the UK. The main storyline of the Mummy movie takes place in the desert, and there are not many shots in the UK, so the shooting time is very short, and now most of it has been completed.
While Zhang Dongcheng was busy, Adaman walked over quickly.
"Hey! Dude!" Adaman walked up to Zhang Dongcheng helplessly, and said, "I have to tell you with regret that I haven't found any news about the woman you asked me to find!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Dongcheng nodded in disappointment, and then asked a little unwillingly: "Is it true that there is no news at all?"
"Yes!" Adaman was also very helpless, he had indeed tried his best. But the news Zhang Dongcheng gave was too general. Even Adaman wondered where he had heard of this woman's name.
"Forget it!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head helplessly, he had to admit that sometimes fate must have something, and there is no time to force it. Since there is no way to find it.
After shooting the limited shots, the later shots are not suitable for shooting now because of time constraints.
After Zhang Dongcheng greeted everyone to finish work, he asked Adaman, Ender, Brandon and other crew members to go to the bar for entertainment and relaxation, while he walked casually on the street, looking at the long-lost British scenery.
This is an ordinary coffee shop. A thirsty Zhang Dongcheng walked in, ordered a cup of coffee, and kept thinking about the future plan in his mind. The mummy was going on, but Zhang Dongcheng's vision was farther away .
The desire for dreams and success is so powerful that Zhang Dongcheng doesn't want to stop for a moment, he just tries his best, just wants to spread his wings and fly high.
The joint-stock film is an epoch-making super powerful idea, and it is also an idea that only people like Zhang Dongcheng can have. Everything I think about is for movies, to shoot movies that I feel interested in.
Such desire has sunk into the blood, together with the beating heart, inseparable, burning him, so that he can't stop flying forever.
Looking back from the scenery outside the window, I accidentally saw an English woman who looked about 30 years old, sitting at the table, writing something on a piece of paper, a little girl of a few years old Beside him, he obediently looked at a book of fairy tales, giggling from time to time.
Although the woman didn't look very old, she had many crow's feet around her eyes, and her hands were thin and veined when she was writing, very rough. An ordinary gray sweater gave her a kind of The unique bookish atmosphere of British women.
Different from Rachel's elegant and noble book atmosphere in the movie, this woman's thin shoulders, thin hands, and hidden eyes looking up at her daughter's smile are slightly absent-minded and helpless.
Only when she lowers her head and the pen is flying, can her eyes be satisfied and joyful, happy and fulfilling.
A man came in suddenly, sat down in front of the woman aggressively, slapped the table, and cursed: "Rowling, what time is it today? Where's your rent? You already owe me Almost three months' rent!"
Rowling? Hearing this, Zhang Dongcheng's body seemed to be electrified, and a trembling feeling hit his heart, and he sat up straight suddenly.
"Mr. Kenny, I'm sorry, I'll have money soon, soon, soon!" Rowling was startled by the sound of slapping the table, and looked up at the vicious landlord Kenny, stammering. Baba said.
Rowling's daughter was also frightened at this time. She threw down the fairy tale book, hugged Rowling's arm, and looked palely at Kenny who kept banging the table and shouting.
"Soon? Haha, I've heard the word "soon" many times, and I've lost my patience! You have to give me money today!" Kenny squinted, cursing very rudely, without any British at all. Gentlemanly.
"The publisher has agreed to pay me 1,500 pounds for the manuscript, and I will pay the rent as soon as I get it, but now, I really can't give you that much money now, please keep your voice down, you scared Jessica " Rowling explained helplessly, and her daughter Jessica got into her arms, just hugged her mother, and huddled in horror.
"I can't control that much, I just want to see the money now!" Kenny yelled angrily, and even waved his arms angrily, accidentally knocking over the coffee cup while foaming, and the coffee immediately flowed out on the table , drenched Rowling's manuscript.
