Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 506: shoot yourself in the foot

Half of February has passed, but no one expected, including Lehmann, to understand why there would be a very exciting news at this node.

Yes, Cameron and Lehman were having a good time together - this was the front page headline given by the New York Daily.

In just one click, it was reprinted by major media and became the object of discussion among countless people who eat melons.

In fact, in February, there were Oscar shortlisted works, and there was also a hot momentum for the screening of "The Mist", but it was impossible to be robbed of the popularity of their own works by their own family members.

It's no wonder that for the entertainment audiences in the United States, the reason for the overwhelming attention to this topic is that these two people are very low-key - whether it is Cameron or Lehmann, as directors, the work has accumulated a large fan base. Yes, but apart from the release of the work, the two did not participate in too much media exposure, and almost no personal life was disclosed by the newspapers.

To put it simply, the audience has a strong voyeuristic desire for them both.

It happened that the two of them met privately, and they didn't know what to talk about, which made it even more difficult for people to solve it.

This is more valuable than separate news, so it will cause a lot of repercussions.

What's more, there are photos of two people in the same frame as testimonials, those with noses and eyes are quite caught by "adultery".

On the Internet, when there was a roar, the editorial team of the "New York Daily" who bought the first-hand consultation was twitching with laughter - this level of revelation has a great effect on promoting the sales of the newspaper. While making money, How can you be unhappy with both fame and fortune, and even add fuel to the flames.

"Look, Cameron smiled, showing that the two of them were very happy talking."

"It won't be Lehman and Cameron teaming up to make a movie, that's too much to look forward to - two of my favorite directors."

"How could they possibly cooperate. The director is like a tiger in the mountains of Megatron, who always walks alone."

"Could it be an investment or something? As we all know, Lehman's Firefly Films is doing well."

"It's all random guessing, can't it be two friends having dinner together?"

The people who eat melons are good at eating melons, but they have to force Joseph, the president of Firefly Pictures, to come forward to clarify. After all, the popularity of "The Mist" has been suppressed, and it's quite like shooting yourself in the foot.

Plus, Cameron didn't want to expose that he was preparing new projects and experimenting with technology, so Firefly Pictures needed to disclose what they talked about to ease the audience's curiosity.

For this reason, Cameron even quickly drew up a contract and transferred his shares in the digital domain to Lehmann—the power of gossip was too great, even Cameron was unwilling to be contaminated.

Even if there are only a few joking photos, it can be fully associated.

In the Internet age, all feedback is so fast, which also makes the authenticity of the news weakened without limit - everyone has become a free media person, speaking freely on the Internet, even if it is just "seeing pictures and talking", but These talents can interpret the infinite version of the story of One Thousand and One Nights.

If it is not contained, maybe this meeting will become some strange news at some point.

This can't help but make people want to swear swearing - public figures have taken a big step forward on the road of being sacrificed in all aspects of their personal lives.

In the future, not only do you need to beware of paparazzi that can be seen everywhere, but also passers-by?

After all, this passerby might take out his mobile phone and edit a message to go online.

After that, all kinds of things were realized one by one.

There are countless celebrities who have been victimized by this. In the past, they only needed public relations newspapers to block some unnecessary black materials, but now they have all torn their masks.

There is even a good saying, "Those who were once glamorous stars have perfect images that make people want to praise, just because they have not been baptized in the Internet age, otherwise, who is more ugly than who is not necessarily."

……

"So, they're only talking about the digital realm, that special effects company?"

"Yes, Cameron doesn't want to collaborate on new projects, he is still experimenting with documentaries..."

Rupert Murdoch glanced at his wife and explained casually, "It seems that Firefly Pictures' stake in the digital field has become a foregone conclusion."

"Oh, Firefly Pictures? It's the movie company you said you really want to acquire." Wendi Deng asked with concern.

"It's not that I want to buy it, it's that Shirley Lansing wants to buy it, but I can't find an opportunity to intervene. In fact, I'm more optimistic about the acquisition of DreamWorks. But now that I think about it, Firefly is not so worthless." Doc sighed.

Last year's annual financial report of Paramount was at the bottom again, which is really not very good.

In response, he even thought of replacing a helmsman for Paramount.

But looking at Shirley Lansing's credit for maintaining the overall situation in the past few years, a little setback was tolerated.

If Paramount's performance hasn't improved after the merger of DreamWorks, this is the last chance to make up for it.

To be honest, when Shirley Lansing mentioned Firefly Pictures in the past two years, he didn't care at all, and he didn't expect to grow so fast - otherwise, he would try to acquire Firefly instead of winning DreamWorks. .

As for Murdoch, 20th Century Fox has always focused on the TV field, but he does not want Paramount's high-quality assets to become a drag on the group.

After all, for his News Corporation, the best monetization channel and the most suitable linkage with entertainment resources are in the television field, and he has more than a dozen TV stations under his banner.

It is clear at a glance which is heavy and which is light.

Judging from the current results, his strategy is correct. Fox TV network successfully broke through the blockade of the three old TV networks because of his resource tilt.

Correspondingly, Paramount, which did not receive much care from its parent company, quickly weakened ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and was in an embarrassing situation where it had to introduce external reinforcements.

At this level, for Wendi Deng, it is not her concern.

Her strong husband's marriage to her was not strong, and she herself had ambitions - Murdoch knew, but he didn't care. He never believed in true love. After all, a 36-year-old and a nearly 74-year-old couldn't possibly be true love.

A leader of the Murdoch Group with a personal asset of over 10 billion, a net worth of over 40 billion, and a media empire of over 100 billion does not need love.

And hearing her husband's optimism about Firefly Pictures, Wendi Deng was thoughtful...

After Wendi Deng left, Murdoch suddenly made another phone call and confided a little opinion to his subordinate Shirley Lansing.

Concentration of resources must still be on cable TV, broadband and consulting services, but for Paramount, since Firefly Pictures has its own North American distribution network, it has entered a new circle, so that it may be necessary to promote the relationship between the two parties. The film and television cooperation between the two - even at the expense of Shirley Lansing's majesty, but also to repair the relationship.

Compared with money, status, resources, etc., face is not worth mentioning.

Even though, Paramount was the former partner who helped Lehman establish himself in Hollywood, and then the collaboration broke down...
