Hollywood's Deception
📅 Date: November 22, 1994
📍 Los Angeles, USA – Hollywood Executive Boardroom
A group of powerful men sat around a polished mahogany table. Their expressions were a mix of frustration and determination.
📢 "Our plan to destabilize NexTech is failing," one executive growled.

📢 "We can't afford to let an outsider dominate entertainment and gaming. We own this industry."
📌 Hollywood's Next Move:
✔ Launch an all-out smear campaign against Jin Park.
✔ Pressure US regulators to impose sanctions on NexTech.
✔ Bribe key South Korean politicians to slow NexTech's domestic growth.
📢 "We hit him from all sides. This time, he won't recover."

Jin leaned back in his chair, reviewing the latest reports. His assistant entered the room, placing a thick folder on his desk.

Jin smiled. Orion Pictures, a struggling but well-known Hollywood studio, was now under his control.
📢 **"Excellent. Prepare the press release. We're entering the film and television industry—but on our own terms."
📌 Jin's Strategy to Crush Hollywood's Monopoly:
✔ Use Orion Pictures to break into Hollywood from within.
✔ Expose hidden corruption and financial scandals in the industry.
✔ Launch NexMedia, a new entertainment division focused on movies, TV, and anime.
📢 "They think they control media," Jin mused. "Let's see how they like competition."

📢 "Jin Park's marketing campaign is too aggressive," another added. "They've secured exclusive game deals that are siphoning off our developers."

✔ Offer developers double the payment to make PlayStation-exclusive titles.
✔ Leak false reports about NexTech's financial instability to investors.
✔ Use their ties with Hollywood to block NexMedia's expansion into Western entertainment.
