Chapter 463 You can’t check everything, right? The rift widened
“It can be seen from the video that these two people seem to have really seen each other’s works.”
“Especially Chen, he is almost going to "Harry Potter" "I have memorized it, it's incredible."
"It's wonderful that two great writers can understand and appreciate each other despite their different genders, nationalities, races, and ethnicities."
“……”
Some comments are embarrassing, but most of the comments seem to be posted by normal netizens.
Anyway, Chen Linfeng couldn't tell which ones were trolls and which ones were the comments of netizens.
With the strong push from the forces behind it, the news spread very quickly.
The previous incident of fans praising each other has just reached the starting stage.
They put out the fire quickly enough. Fans still hope to see their favorite writers respected.
Now this new news is more in line with their wishes, so the upcoming storm has gradually dissipated.
Most of the book fans who had just learned about it thought it was a misunderstanding.
As for the other one, discriminatory remarks about Chinese and even Asians.
You have to use another way of playing.
This kind of public opinion has no tendency to expand outward so far.
After all, it is not 16 years later.
Even on the Internet, the platform itself will have algorithms to prevent the spread of relevant public opinions.
So what you have to do is not to take the initiative or engage in confrontation.
Once it becomes a controversial topic, it becomes like mud on your crotch, not just shit.
After waiting for a few more days, nothing more happened.
Chen Linfeng knew that the communication process initiated by Disney should have worked.
Later, during the phone call with Pete.
Chen Linfeng also knew some of the news behind the scenes.
“So it was the other party that initially created some public opinion and then tried to launch some offensives.
As a result, our response was too late, and then they increased their efforts? ”
"Yes, that's the official statement."
"What about the unofficial statement?"
Pete lowered his voice a little, "It seems that some people are unhappy with Jerry and feel that he is doing both. A big project, too much to eat.”
“What?”
“But the news may not be accurate,”
Pete added, "It's also possible that it's really because you hate outsiders. You know, Chen, this kind of thing is hard to avoid. There are always people with old ideas."
This "outsider" ", actually refers to the yellow race.
It seems that what I guessed at the beginning was not wrong.
Inside large companies, the personnel are too complex and cannot work together.
Chen Linfeng pondered for a moment, "What did the person in charge of related matters say? Sister Mei asked specifically at the beginning. The other party said that they had tried their best to prevent it, but they failed."
"This is the one who just mentioned that there is something wrong with his brain."
Peter complained, "The company checked with him, and he felt that there was no need to pay special attention to some comments, and then searched through the background data to find some racial discrimination. The remarks were made by him.”
Chen Lin. Feng Yi choked, "How did this person get into this position when he is so stupid?"
"There is no way, many stupid people can't see it."
Chen Linfeng said curiously, " Then how did the news about Jerry come about?"
"There are friends of mine at Warner and 20th Century Fox."
Pitt was mid-sentence and did not continue.
But Chen Linfeng already understood.
In the circle of rich second-generation friends, it is normal for company secrets to be ignored in order to show off.
Peter also talked about the follow-up time. This matter can only be limited to the director responsible for public opinion.
Disney expressed its sincere apology and promised that similar problems would not occur again in the future.
In fact, Chen Linfeng heard the deeper news from Leonardo.
Someone has compiled a lot of dirty information about Bruckheimer and is preparing to break the news. They have already passed it on to some media. It is said that it is quite serious.
This matter was suppressed by Disney in time.
But the news was still known by a small number of people.
It can only be said that after reaching a certain level, Hollywood really has no secrets.
As for who collected the dirty information, we only know that it must be someone within Disney, but no one continues to delve deeper.
You can't check everything, what if you really find something?
Sir Humphrey’s quotations never go out of style.
The whole thing didn't last long, and the impact was not that big.
Emily Ken's side has only some tabloid reports and has not yet risen to the big media.
The domestic media did not even receive the news.
Chen Linfeng is still a little confused and cannot see the truth clearly.
Now it seems that he was hacked, more like he was affected.
But I can’t say for sure.
After all, how could someone be so stupid as to want to attack Bruckheimer, only to use him as a target first?
Isn’t this all exposed?
However, this incident still made him wary.
In beautiful countries, public opinion platforms such as social media cannot be used. This was obvious when investing in Facebook.
You can only make some money, but you cannot hold it for a long time.
For this matter, the relevant departments of Emily Ken even talked to him. But when something happened, especially when he encountered someone from the top six levels of Hollywood, he felt very uncomfortable when he had no means of countermeasures.
You can't beat them, so you can only find a way to join.
Chen Linfeng thought that the cooperation with several other major Hollywood companies must be accelerated.
It just so happened that he had a cooperation application from Warner on hand, related to the novel.
It seems it's time to meet up.
Chen Linfeng called Sister Mei and asked her to contact her.
"Okay, how about the time is arranged during the period when you are participating in the promotion of "Infinite World"?"
"Okay, we can find a way to reveal some news to the outside world."
Sister Mei was startled, then thought about it and finally understood.
"Let Disney know in advance to raise Warner's conditions?"
"That's the intention,"
Chen Linfeng nodded and said, "Not only that, this recent matter is ultimately Disney's fault.
I feel uneasy because of this, and I want to give myself a sense of security.
This way the other party should be more understanding, so that everyone will not be really unhappy. .”
Sister Mei was filled with admiration, "You think more."
Indeed, in interactions between people, it is very important to have a valid reason for doing things.
Sometimes just a little difference can lead to completely different results.
Disney has been Chen Linfeng’s partner in novels before, at least in Europe and the United States.
Now, because of some minor unpleasantness, he has turned to cooperate with other companies.
Disney can't just go to war because of this.
Sure enough, within two days, Pete called.
"Chen, how did I hear that you are going to write a new novel and then cooperate with Warner Bros. on related promotion matters?"
"It has not been confirmed yet, and it has not been discussed. It is just a It’s just an intention.”
“But we have been working well together before, so why do we suddenly need to change partners?”
Chen Linfeng did not explain, but said in a deep voice, "Peter, you should know the reason."
Pete said helplessly, "Chen, I know you are very unhappy because of what happened before, but I want to You promise, there won’t be a next time.”
“Peter, I want to believe you, but what happened before made me very uneasy.
You also know how I am treated in China. This is the first time in my life that you have encountered something like this. You should understand me. ”
Chen Linfeng downplayed and erased what happened to Yuanyuan.
Anyway, it's been so long and it's normal for him to not be able to remember.
Furthermore, even if I keep remembering it and triggering my PTSD, wouldn’t it be more serious?
Peter does treat his friends with sincerity.
Facing the other party's doubts, he was really speechless.
Chen Linfeng comforted, "Peter, you shouldn't be caught in this. After all, you have stopped being responsible for novel-related business, haven't you?"
"But the introduction of your novels has always been blamed on me."
Chen Linfeng sighed, "Pete, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. You should still be doing it now." You haven’t said anything to the public, right?”
“Huh? Not yet. I’ll call you as soon as I hear the news. Let me ask you."
Peter was a little confused, "What did you mean by that sentence?"
"It's all because of you that I can continue to publish novels with Disney. I want to cooperate with another company because of someone else’s mistake, right?”
"Well, that's it."
"Then you shouldn't take the blame for other people's mistakes."
Chen Linfeng said, "If you take the responsibility to talk to me, I will If you don't change your mind, then It turns out that you are not doing your job well.
Maybe others will ask you to force me, which will damage the relationship between us.
In turn, you should tell the company this. .”
"Without you, I might have completely stopped cooperating with movies after 5 films.
It was you who turned the tide. For your sake, I only worked in a less important field like novels. I want to work with another company.”
"Ah? Is that so?"
"Yes, that's right, that's it."
Chen Linfeng affirmed, "Anyway, I will definitely say this when facing others. .”
Peter gradually thought about it, "You have really made up your mind."
Chen Linfeng was silent for a moment, "Yes, this incident made me sure that it is still too unstable to have only one collaborator."< br>
Peter could understand his concerns, so he didn’t say anything more.
We are all friends, that’s really good.
It can’t really be because of the company’s affairs that it affects their personal relationship.
Personal interests and company interests still need to be separated.
"Okay, I will explain it to the people in your company."
Pete finally chose to help. Originally, Chen's status as a big director is more important.
Novel is indeed not as important as before.
Especially after "Infinite World", "Sherlock" cooperated with the British Broadcasting Corporation and was adapted into a TV series.
Maybe the next novel will be suitable for adaptation into a TV series.
I haven’t written it down yet. There is really no need to worry about this.
"However, Chen, after the novel is translated, you must let me read it as soon as possible. I have always been your loyal fan."
Chen Linfeng smiled, "Haha, I will never forget you. ”
