Chapter 267 Get rid of the shackles
"Mr. Shao, I have a problem..."
"Mr. Shao, may I ask..."
"Mr. Shao..."
The media people's applause fell, and everyone didn't know whether to stand or sit. The scene suddenly became a mess. When the question sounded, everyone present was like a bullet loading.
Swish.
When Shao Yingxiong raised his hands to suppress the voices of the audience, he glanced at the media person who had a deep hatred with him. He did not have the arrogance of Zhang Fei, nor did he look down on the empty face. Instead, he put down one hand and pointed the index finger of the other hand at the screen: "Everyone, I know you have many questions, and I also have many questions to ask you, but before that, can I say a few words first, and then we solve the problem between us in a question-and-answer way?"
The media people sat down. Anyway, Shao Yingxiong agreed not to run away. Why do you have to care about such a little time?
"I actually have too many words to say but don't know who to say to me. Since I came to Hollywood, we have been fighting. Do you know that I think you have more time than my old friends. Of course, I never thought about you. I wonder if you will attack me with any language, will you want to explode my **, and will you suppress my box office through various channels and the advantages of public opinion..."
"But what is the final result of our fight? It is the ending of this movie. Even if I have been crushing the media, I can't show how powerful I am in front of the movie audience. This makes this bet meaningless in front of me. On the contrary, what can you do if you win this bet? Yes, Hollywood can indeed make more news and hype, and then? What after this enthusiasm? Will you ask, will your bosses add even a dollar salary for you after squatting MGM and Yingxiong Shao?"
"I don't want to continue to fight like this. Both of us lose and lose, either."
Shao Yingxiong said straightforwardly: "I want to make peace with you."
When a sound of extreme peace came, the media in the room widened their eyes and looked at Shao Yingxiong in front of the screen. They couldn't believe what they saw in front of them.
Everyone saw the connotation and meaning of this movie. When it was released, Andrew Lincoln alone killed Manu Bennett, the camera contrast between the long and close-ups of the scenes that frequently flashed on the screen, would cause a scream. It was the killing of a man who turned into a demon because of fatherly love. There was more than one such shocking film. How could such a movie not cause huge debate in North America? It can even be said that "Either Become a God or Die" can now be concluded that it will surpass the box office of "Super Body".
But at this time, Shao Yingxiong actually asked for peace...
Harry Slon rose and walked out. He felt that at this time, Shao Yingxiong was no longer the one who needed someone to dissuade him. He could take on the responsibility of a man by himself and shoulder the entire MGM with his shoulders.
"I'm done."
When Shao Yingxiong looked at the media, he said, "It's your turn."
"Mr. Shao, why did you choose to say these words now?" the media asked in confusion.
"Because my friend Mr. Cheng Long told me a story when he was working with me. He said that he was very abide by the rules when he was an apprentice, and if he didn't follow the rules, he would be beaten. I am a person who is born unruly. After he grows up, he doesn't understand that someone attacked me because I didn't follow the rules. Now, I understand." Shao Yingxiong curled his lips and said, "The rules here are established by you. The result of my confrontation with you is to be enemies with the entire Hollywood media. If you lose your help and publicity, even if the movie is so good, it will move forward in criticism. Why bother?"
"Now, I promise you that if you need me to cooperate in the production of traditional media selling points such as magazines, media, etc., you can call Harry Sloan directly. As long as it is not too difficult, I am willing to cooperate. Of course, don't be too frequent. Even if I make me a big fan of Hollywood, it doesn't matter, anyway, my home is in China."
The media people were stupid. They prepared countless questions and suddenly they couldn't use them all!
Think about it, when a person who has no hatred for killing your father or taking his wife, but has a constant verbal argument and frequent confrontation. When he meets, he suddenly appears in front of you and says sincerely, 'It's me wrong. Let's make peace'. Who can swing his mouth over and scold him hard at this time: "What a coward. You have the ability to fight to the end." This is impossible. If you have the feelings of meeting, you can take at most two verbal precautions and scold him: "Don't pretend to be -b? Don't pretend like this in the future, as if there is no one else except you."
It must be this routine!
Even if he had suffered a loss, as long as the loss was compensated, it could still be over. Shao Yingxiong had already made up for it by cooperating with their rumors. Moreover, when the media reported today, he would definitely put his pen on his side when he came back, which meant that they had taken advantage of it.
So, is Shao Yingxiong really soft?
Let’s not talk about whether it’s soft or not. Anyway, it’s definitely impossible for the movie “Either become a god or die” to be released in China, and there is no chance for DVD. In other words, the only place where Shao Yingxiong can grab the beach and land in is really the North American market and Europe. At this time, you must really face the media people. Every penny you earn is your own loss. Who will lose at that time? Even if you win the media, what about the revenge? Will it be getting bigger and bigger?
"Shao, what do you want us to say? After you said this, I have no idea what I should say. I feel that everything I say is meaningless. You make me feel that our previous fight with MGM and you was like our little family."
Shao Yingxiong looked at the reporter who said this, and he was still calm: "No, I don't mean what you mean. Our fight is very similar to a new monkey coming from the monkey group. The new monkey is me. If this monkey stands at the end of the team with peace of mind, they will be fine. As long as this monkey wants to climb up, there will be a fight, right? No monkey will give up the position close to the Monkey King, so we will fight because I don't follow the rules on your land."
Media people can hear that the Monkey King in Shao Yingxiong's mouth is the audience, definitely not any company, which makes all media people feel much more comfortable. After all, they are all aimed at the audience.
"It's different now. You know who I am. I know who you are, and we can continue to get along well."
The way Shao Yingxiong used was a very traditional way, which belongs to the kind of person who could be bullied the first time and the second time, but there was absolutely no third time. Once the third time appeared, Shao Yingxiong would fight them and he had to win. Therefore, the script was robbed, and he endured it; Colombia forced to buy the adaptation rights of "Source Code". He also endured it; however, when the media people bullied it, he refused, because in the eyes of Shao Yingxiong, both Colombia and media people were Hollywood.
"Shao Yingxiong, is it because your movie cannot be released in your country, and there will be a huge gap in the box office, so that we can help you promote it?"
After a gentle look back, Shao Yingxiong saw a familiar face. He was the one who picked up at the press conference for the first time; he was the one who intercepted the media for the second time and did not attend the press conference; now, he is still him!!
"I can give you a chance to interview separately later. This question. I can explain it to you alone." Shao Yingxiong's little eyes were too gentle. No one would have thought that the owner of this look was Shao Dagou.
When he turned around and looked at all the media again, he asked, "Do you agree?"
"If you say you will never interfere with our press freedom, and you will not ask us to write good reviews for you when you make bad movies in the future, but let us treat you as an ordinary Hollywood artist... If you are willing to actively cooperate with media interviews, we agree." An old reporter stood up, and it was obvious that he was the one who was respected in this circle.
Shao Yingxiong said, "Okay. Now we can talk about the movie."
Media people asked many questions next, such as the plot setting and camera use in the movie, why is there a way for all actors to be manipulated in the whole drama? The lack of a refreshing performance method that makes the overall look stronger, etc.
Shao Yingxiong answered these questions one by one. Until the media people finished their visit and discussed the time to make an interview at MGM, a brown-haired media person approached Shao Yingxiong: "Mr. Shao, you promised me just now that I would give me an interview opportunity."
"Yes, wait for a minute."
Shao Yingxiong thanked every media person who came to participate at the door. The moment when all the media people left, only himself and the senior executives of MGM were left, the media person felt a little chill in the back of his neck.
"Everyone, today we won't talk about the internal preview issue. I want to say a few things. First, when MGM was attacked by the media, it seemed that you had nothing to do with yourself. Second, three days ago, someone gave me a document, which was related to the inside story of the media's attack on us. Why is only one of you who can see the clues of this matter and are willing to take time to investigate? Why is there only one person? Third, after the movie is released, the company may carry out a cleaning. I think people who are not suitable for sitting in their current position will be kicked out of the company."
"Morris, give me the information you found."
After hearing Shao Yingxiong's words, a senior executive handed over an envelope. Shao Yingxiong shook his hand and directly smashed the envelope on the left side of the reporter: "Idiots raised by bitch!"
"Do you think what you are doing is perfect? Do you think it's a rule for a reporter to collect money from one company to step on another company? Here are the meeting records of you and senior staff of Columbia, my office documents also have the extra money in your bank account and your plan to go to Las Vegas after this press conference!"
"Are you stupid? You really think you won't be retaliated for the sake of a match against MGM with a market value of less than 50,000 US dollars!"
"These things will appear on the desks of the relevant departments tomorrow morning, and you're done!"
Shao Yingxiong, who had roared wildly, his face was shrill, like an evil ghost who had just crawled out of hell. He stared at his eyes, frowned, and roared like a giant cannon firing.
After shouting these few words, Shao Yingxiong looked at the reporter who was stupid on the spot and asked: "Go back and tell your master that the media will not target me now. I have asked all the shackles in Hollywood. Next, I will target him!"
"Mr. Journalist, do you have anything to interview me now? I have a lot of time."
