Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

When Jed reads on the midnight news that Will Smith and the rest of the "Independence Day" crew have been sent to the police station for a fight, he's all Spartan.It's not because Jed was angry when he heard the news on the news. After all, the level of media development in the United States is not comparable to that of countries like South Korea.

If any scandal breaks out in South Korea, under normal circumstances, the newspaper or TV station will communicate with the brokerage company in advance to see if there is any way to ease the pain.American news organizations never care about this, what they want is the timeliness of the news!

If you think about it, there are more than [-] TV stations and nearly [-] radio stations in the small city of Los Angeles. This does not include the TV stations and radio stations in neighboring cities that can cover Los Angeles, not to mention the national TV stations or radio stations. up.From this, you know how fierce the media competition in Los Angeles is, so no piece of news will be let go by the media.

Here, the crew members of "Independence Day" were detained by the police because of a fight. Over there, you can see dozens of SNG live broadcast vehicles directly blocking the road outside the police station, and countless guns and short cannons in the flashing lights are aimed at the gate of the police station.The reporter who came late saw this posture, okay, just dispatch the helicopter and circle the sky above the police station.If you know it, you will say, "Oh, I guess another star got drunk/drugged/messy with men and women and was arrested"; if you don't know, you think you are in the Middle East, and you are watching Israeli soldiers besieging Arafat's official residence. .

Fortunately, the brokerage company and the actor's union are not just decorations. Here, Will Smith has just been arrested, and the managers behind various artists have come forward to redeem them.Although fighting is not a good thing, but fortunately these people are not drinking and drugging to make trouble, so they can leave temporarily after paying the bail.As for what will happen in the end, it depends on the friendship between each lawyer and the district attorney.Otherwise, if such a case is sent to the district court, judging from the judges' dissatisfaction with the artist, at least three months of criminal detention will not be able to escape.

After hearing what the agents and lawyers said, these hot-headed people began to get scared.It's not that the three-month detention is terrible. Going to prison is a common occurrence for artists. You see, the cute loli Lindsay Lohan used the prison as a holiday resort.It's just that Lindsay is rich and has a good family background. Even if he is sent to prison from time to time, it is usually at the level of a detention center, and he has never been in a prison with the lowest security level.But the problem is that this group of people has no money and no family background. If they really want to be sentenced to three months by the judge, they have to pick up soap carefully.

The various brokers and lawyers have reached a settlement internally. It is not good for anyone to bring this matter to court, but the question is who will come forward and talk to the district attorney?Obviously, the face of these few people is not something the district attorney will consider.After thinking for a long time, someone finally hung up the phone to Jed's office.According to Jed's temper, it's better to send all these brainless people to prison to pick up soap. After the chrysanthemums turn into sunflowers, they will know how stupid they were back then.

But it happens that Will Smith is involved here. You must know that although Will has made a lot of bad movies, the "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" really moved Jed to tears.After thinking for a long time, Jed sighed and asked his secretary to call back the group of agents.

"Mr. Sherman expects Mr. Smith to come to his office at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to explain the whole matter."

Hearing this sentence, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Jed still didn't make up his mind to send everyone to prison to sing "Chrysanthemum Remnant".Of course, as for what kind of punishment the producer will give everyone in the end, it still depends on Smith's explanation.Although the others were jealous that Smith was favored by Mr. Sherman, everyone knew that this was not the time for internal conflicts, so they all cheered for Will, which made Will a little embarrassed.

However, Will's manager thought too much, and he deliberately pulled Will aside and said, "Be more sincere when you go to see Mr. Sherman tomorrow. You must know that Mr. Sherman has given Mr. Tom Hanks two consecutive visits." If he is willing to support you, the person who will give you the Oscar winner this year, then your next movie will definitely be the absolute protagonist."

How does Will Smith not know what his agent is saying? After all, Will is also an actor who has debuted for many years. Although he has been dawdling in some unknown comedies before, how can he not know who is the real master of Hollywood?How can a producer who can be praised by both Murdoch and Redstone, and who is also a director who maintains a relationship with Spielberg as a teacher and friend, be an ordinary person?If he can really be regarded as one of his own by this gentleman, then the time has come for him to rise to the top.

The next day, Will Smith put on his best suit and appeared in the lobby of the Ai Lie Dongfeng Building.Fortunately, Jed's secretary had already greeted the front desk, so someone led Smith to the special visitor elevator.As soon as Smith arrived on the top floor, Jed's secretary greeted Smith at the elevator entrance.

"Mr. Smith, Mr. Sherman is still dealing with some matters, so you need to wait for a while."

Under the arrangement of this secretary, Will appeared in the waiting hall outside Sherman's office.Smith looked at the waiting room. Although it was not big, it was richly decorated.Smith couldn't help sighing that it was even more luxurious than his own residence, but before Smith finished sighing, the secretary brought a glass of champagne and a glass of sparkling mineral water.Although there were no brands of champagne and mineral water for Smith to refer to, Will didn't think they were cheap.In the waiting room, there are "Hollywood Report", "Vanity Fair", "TV Guide" and other entertainment newspapers on the bookshelves, which helped Will find a way to pass the time.

However, Smith didn't have a long time to relax, and was soon invited into the office by Jed's secretary.Jed's office is slightly smaller than the original one, because the secret war room is quite large after renovation, and can accommodate at least seven or eight people for meetings.The reason why such a secret meeting room is specially designed is to avoid the ubiquitous commercial espionage.

"Sit down, please." Jed was signing a document, and casually asked Smith to sit down across from him.There are always two chairs across from Jed's desk, and since Shannette and John often appear together, it's a constant.

"I want to know what happened that day." Jed didn't look up at Smith. "Remember, what I want to hear is the truth. You don't need to hide anything. In the end, what you need to hide should be decided by me, and Not you."

Smith was shocked. The story he originally planned to tell Jed was a collusion.But now, although Jed didn't look up at himself, he still understood the threat in that plain tone.Since it happened in someone else's studio, it's not easy for them to investigate clearly, so why bother to hide something?Thinking of this, Smith narrated the events at that time in full detail, and when he said that "the blacks just drove to make comedy films", he was quite excited.However, he was a little sad when he was about to be treated after being sent to the police station.

"This is America, 'racial discrimination' is still a big trend." Jed said lightly, "Did you think that President Lincoln solved everything after that? No! Dr. Martin Luther King did not solve all this...America is a race Discriminatory society, although many people would not say so verbally. But African-American actors should play funny roles, Latino actors should play slut male prostitutes, or Asian-American actors should play some lewd roles... This is Is it racist? It is! But what can you do? Fist may solve the problem for a while, and later? Will, why don't you win an Oscar as a black actor? You don't think you will become an Oscar Is that the best way to fight back against these racists?"

Will Smith is not a stupid person, on the contrary he is a very smart person, and importantly, he loves the profession of film actor.At present, there is only one black actor in Oscar history, and that is Sidney Poitier, who won the best actor Oscar for "Wild Lily" in 1963.

There is no lack of drama among black actors. You must know that Morgan Freeman is a powerful actor on the same level as Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.Do you know what a play bone is?In the words of film critics, he is the kind of actor who can save a mediocre script.Didn't Freeman, Pacino and De Niro have bad scripts?How can it be!But their abilities are so strong that they can interpret Aunt Qiong Yao's script on a par with Shakespeare.Therefore, film critics will forgive them and turn their guns on the director and screenwriter, thinking that they are ruining the limited performance life of the actors.

But Freeman has never been recognized by any awards, until 2004 he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with "Million Dollar Baby".At that time, some commentators pointed out that Oscar owed Freeman this.Why did Al Pacino win the best actor as early as 1994, and finally became a god with "The Godfather 2"?Why did Robert De Niro have already won two Oscars, and in his twilight years, he was able to win the British Academy Award again with "Silver Line Behind the Dark Clouds"?

To put it bluntly, the movie industry doesn't like black actors.It's just that after Obama was born, Oscar suddenly had two more black movie stars.Although Smith didn't know the later development, the reality that there was only one black actor still stimulated him.

"Sir, I'm sorry for my recklessness," Smith apologized. "I did a very stupid thing."

"It's good to know." Jed nodded, "If you do something wrong, you must accept punishment, and I will deduct part of your salary. I will donate this money to some children's education funds for you, otherwise the National Parent-Teacher Association will be punished." I won't let you go."

"I understand." Of course, Smith knows the power of the National Parent-Teacher Association. Being listed by them as an unpopular movie or actor basically means losing the market for children under the age of 13 or even the youth market.

Jed's donation of money to the Children's Educational Fund on Smith's behalf would somehow win the favor of the National Parent-Teacher Association.What's more, Smith is also a first-time offender, so it is estimated that they will turn a blind eye.For Smith, the most important benefit is that since Jed is willing to come forward to settle these matters for him, it shows that Jed regards Smith as his own, and this is what Smith values.

In the afternoon, Smith saw that Jed held a press conference on behalf of the producer. First of all, he criticized the irrational behavior of the crew members and apologized to the public at the same time.The second is the punishment of Smith and others and donations...
