Chapter 630 Singing on All Sides
"A Another Victory of Playboy" - Although we don't know what the specific entanglement is, we can say for sure that between Playboy and James Cameron, 20th Century Fox chose the former. Of course, if it were me, I would have made that choice.
This victory may not really be a big deal for Playboy, but his influence on the whole film industry has been shown. He can't be competed by anyone or any film company - The Chicago Sun
- James Cameron finally shouted unwillingly, and the crew's complaints and dissatisfaction. Although KINGCHAN has always been out of the matter, it is obvious that he is the X factor that determines everything - The New York Times
The day after James Cameron was kicked out, there were generally similar comments in the media, and the common point is also obvious, that is, everyone thinks that it is the playboy who finally let James Cameron finally get out of the game. No matter whether he does anything or not, the 20th Century Fox is definitely because of him who did that. Decision, that is to say, he is at least an indirect killer.
In the face of such a situation, Playboy stood up again. He held a press conference at the headquarters of Jinchen Film Group in Hollywood, Los Angeles, to explain this incident.
The playboy's face was cold when he appeared, which was news for the entertainment reporters. This guy often smiled like a signboard. Moreover, he didn't talk nonsense. After sitting down, waved his hand, and signaling to be quiet, he began to read his super simple statement:
"First of all, thank you for the love of 20th Century Fox. Secondly, I decided not to continue to talk about the contract of Titanic with 20th Century Fox. As for the director, it has nothing to do with me!"
The entertainment reporters are still waiting for the playboy to continue, but after the playboy finished this, he began to stare at the entertainment reporters. Then, when they were about to ask questions, they were the first to say coldly, "If there is a problem, hurry up, or I will leave!"
"KING, why did you suddenly make such a decision?" The guy named Emond in the Hollywood Chronicle can take the lead every time.
The playboy was still expressionless and said faintly, "You should know better than me. Maybe now the whole United States is accusing me of forcing James Cameron out of me. Although I don't care about that at all, I don't want to fall on my head like that. I don't have to be so small. I'm sorry for wronging myself."
"However, James Cameron secretly accused you in the end and said he wanted to see your good show. Don't you want to respond to him?" This guy in USA Today obviously wants to sow discord when the playboy is angry and make some big news.
In a sense, he succeeded, and the playboy said coldly, "Do you think it's necessary for me to have the same experience as him? Do you need some clowns to make any judgment on my achievements?"
"But will your decision be too hasty? After all, the media is not the real accusation, but to express their views on this matter. Your decision will even make 20th Century Fox and Titanic really fall into the predicament of the Jedi?" Los Angeles Times
Playboy said coldly, "Speaking of sloppyness, you should ask the people of 20th Century Fox that they fired a certain director."
If James Cameron's fired was not too sensational, after Playboy issued a simple statement, the whole United States knew that the matter was really going on. At this time, although everyone was still a little confused about the truth of the matter, at least, even now even if he thinks that Playboy is 20 The reason why Century Fox let James Cameron get out of here, but that was also the unilateral decision made by 20th Century Fox. This is because Playboy's previous good conduct gave the impression that he had always been a real gentleman, and Playboy did not seem to have any reason to get involved in it. He didn't Worried about filming, two don't worry about money, and three don't worry about fame. He has almost everything everyone dreams of.
At this time, more people stood up to defend Playboy. Interestingly, James Cameron also said in another interview: "He never accused Playboy. He was just disappointed with what 20th Century Fox did. Such a decision was very stupid."
The playboy easily turned the wind around, and at the same time, he also took the opportunity to make things smoother and lean to his advantage!
In the 20th century, Fox didn't know what Playboy thought. They were really anxious. Now James Cameron has driven them away. If Playboy really refused all the possibilities of cooperation, then Titanic would really hit the iceberg and sink.
William Campbell came to the door as soon as possible. He was already inclined to join the Jinchen Film Group. However, good professional ethics made him still work hard for the Titanic.
"KING, can't you abandon us at this time?" Playboy received William Campbell especially at home because of his affection for him. However, William Campbell didn't care about this courtesy at all and began to lobby as soon as he saw Playboy.
"William, I think you should be very clear about my previous situation. Everyone is accusing me. I have taken the blame. Do I have to continue?" The playboy found that he could be very shameless and insidious when he was going to be shameless now. "What reason do I have to continue?"
If you continue, there are also flaws in playing big cards to squeeze people away. If you don't succeed, you will become a laughing stock. Playboys don't lack success at all, let alone money.
William Campbell smiled bitterly, "You can ignore those people's statements at all, and we will try our best to calm this matter down, and we will never let you take the blame."
"Is it?" The playboy smiled softly, mocked, and said rudely, "Your last bullshit statement said that you sincerely invited me to be a director. Do you know what it feels like to hear in the ears of those who don't know lovers? That is, I have already made a deal with you. I think you know this. Then what have I become? The lamb of sin?"
"KING!" William Campbell is yet to say. The playboy has waved his hand, "William, you don't have to say any more. You know my temper!"
William Campbell scratched his head in distress and smiled bitterly, "Then you killed me. At that time, I said on the board of directors that I should be able to convince you. Although it was a collective decision in the end, my words played an important role."
"Who told you to be so hasty?" When the playboy said this, he looked like a scoundrel who didn't do anything else. William Campbell naturally couldn't blame him and scratched his head again. "Do you think it's necessary to put it off? In the case of choosing one of the two, since you can take over, you can provide security, we have no illusions that you will make that thing more Well, if it were anyone, I would kill the mess quickly!"
Playboy is speechless. To be honest, if he hadn't deliberately dug a pit, Fox in the 20th century would never have faced the current situation, because Playboy would definitely take over the Titanic at the request of affectionately. He would not really care about the media's statement. At that time, as long as Titanic If they succeed, those guys will naturally immediately turn the wind and sing praises for him - the statement that they care too much about the media is not the style of a successful big shot. The style of the big shot is to guide the media, not to mention playing with them on applause, but also to let them react as he wants with his actions.
Step by step wrong, step by step. From the beginning, 20th Century Fox unconsciously slipped into the pit dug by the playboy. Of course, they came to the door first, otherwise the playboy would not play such a big game.
William Campbell returned. Fox in the 20th century really panicked. By the way, the old guys were still a little cheeky, and some said that they wanted James Cameron to come back. However, not to mention that their attitude was not resolute, because they were still running at both ends, hoping to talk about the playboy in the end. James Cameron was also a He has a temper. If he is so cruel at the beginning, he will run back with a fart. That's not his character!
As for the others, Hollywood's famous director will never accept such a mess, because this is a thing made by James Cameron. No one knows what it is like. What's more serious is that it is that it has cost 150 million US dollars, and it hasn't started shooting yet. My God, everyone takes it. What a hot potato!
If you don't follow James Cameron's, if you want to do it all over again, how much will it cost? If the playboy doesn't play, it's even more hopeless. Besides, if it's changed, it won't be James Cameron's. 20th Century Fox won't waste the previous 150 million dollars. 20th Century Fox is not a playboy, but Playboy can throw the money out without blinking an eye.
As for the little director, Fox in the 20th century is not worried. Besides, the problem is that the playboy doesn't play. Otherwise, get a little director and let the playboy "guide" next to him. At that time, a miracle may happen.
But at this time, the playboy had left Los Angeles for 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, who had been negotiating the issuance rights of the United States because of the appearance of Playboy, immediately stopped all possibilities of cooperation.
Therefore, 20th Century Fox is really a little confused. Although it is not as difficult as when the original joint film company encountered "Gate of Heaven", a big Waterloo has come to the eye, all of "Titanic" Work has to be temporarily stagnant, and everyone in the company is thinking about how to solve this crisis.
