Chapter 1050: Swimming against the current
“Leave, this is the easiest way, but it is also the stupidest way.”
“Facing a giant like Sony Columbia, turning around and leaving seems like Chic, but Sony Columbia won’t shed a tear for us at all.”
Simple and direct, true but cruel.
In anger and pain, Blair grasped the truth of reality and tried to find a solution to the dilemma——
How should they fight back?
Karen became even more angry. After the anger, there was a sense of bitterness and helplessness. This was also the reason why she didn't like growing up.
There are too many unsolvable problems in real life. Standing in front of each problem, they were gradually smoothed by frustrations and difficulties, and finally evolved into ordinary members among all living beings. Like a zombie, he spends his life numb and stiff.
Karen, "But, are we just going to do nothing, swallow it, and continue to contribute to Sony Columbia's box office?"
Blair, "Yes, we should continue to contribute to the box office, But we are not cowardly.”
Karen was skeptical.
Blair took a deep breath, "Karen, we should let Sony Columbia hear our voices and feel our power."
"Indeed, Sony Columbia is a giant, we just Ants are insignificant and have no say, but if the number of ants is large enough, they will see us."
"We need to make Sony Columbia aware of how many people are standing behind Anson; and let them know. They realize that we continue to support Spider-Man not because of Sony Columbia, but because of Anson."
"And then, yes, we will buy movie tickets and go into theaters to support 'Spider-Man 2,' to be precise. Support Anson.”
"Imagine that if the movie continues to do well at the box office, everyone will know that we are doing it because of Anson, and Anson is the only reason; then, when the third part of the series is being negotiated, it is time for us to fight back, and we will let Sony The giant Columbia pays the price."
"If there is no Anson, we will boycott the third part of the series. We will make it clear to Sony Columbia."
"At that time, if If Sony Columbia doesn't want to tear down a series whose first two games have been an unparalleled success, they have to compromise with Anson. That's when Anson takes a serious bite from Sony Columbia. Not only do we want them to bleed, we also It's going to hurt them. "
"Who knows, maybe we can let Sony Columbia work for Anson and most of the box office revenue will go into Anson's pocket."
Wild, Bold and incredible.
It's still 2003, and Paramount Pictures has worked for Tom Cruise in the "Mission: Impossible" series, and all the major profits from the movie's box office have gone into Tom Cruise's pockets, so the film company actually gave in. The matter of actors is simply a fantasy before our eyes.
For the general public, if Anson has the courage and courage to leave the "Spider-Man" series, this is strong enough, equivalent to a slap in the face of Sony Columbia——
No Sony Columbia was ready to replace Anson, but Anson didn't bother to continue working for Sony Columbia.
Such a small resistance has reached the limit of people’s imagination, and Karen represents the majority.
And Blair's idea is simply... shocking.
Karen was completely stunned, "Is this possible?"
Word after word, syllable after syllable, Karen still doubted her ears.
Blair suddenly revealed his true colors, "I have no confidence either. I'm just thinking."
Karen breathed a sigh of relief.
Blair, "This is just my personal thought, a little bit of fantasy."
"But, Karen, we need to let Anson know that he is not fighting against giants alone. At the same time, we also need to let Sony Columbia know that Anson is not a little person who just comes and goes." "At that time, regardless of Anson, No matter what decision he makes, whether to leave or stay, we are his strongest support."
Karen swallowed and nodded heavily, "Okay, I understand. So, what do we need to do?"
Blair, "We need to gather our friends, the more the better, Karen, remember, the more the better, everyone, everyone we know. Moreover, it is best for young people, between the ages of eighteen and forty-nine, who are also the consumers that film companies care about."
Karen rolled her eyes, "It sounds like I know a five-year-old. Like ten-year-old friends, please, my dad is not even fifty yet, okay?”
……
Monday, early morning, sunny.
It’s a new week and New York is still busy.
Although the entertainment industry news has exploded in the past few days, New York can still digest it easily. After all, this is a city that embraces all rivers.
Aside from entertainment news, the city is still moving at high speed, with figures coming and going in a hurry, and there is no time to stop.
Manhattan, Midtown, 550 Madison Avenue, this is the headquarters of Sony Columbia. It is as busy as ever, without panic or anxiety. The scene is not much different from a week ago, even though the storm of the entertainment industry in the entire North American continent is now destroying this building. Surrounded.
But... a big company is a big company, and it is used to seeing wind and waves. Even if there are roaring mountains, tsunamis, strong winds and heavy rains, the company headquarters will still maintain normal operations.
In the crowd of people rushing to work, a young man wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with long hair tied into a ponytail, appeared with a backpack. He looked no different from the hundreds of thousands of tourists in New York. Maybe he was on a graduation trip. The students were really ordinary and did not attract any attention.
The young man with the ponytail stood at the door of Sony Columbia's headquarters. He didn't wait for too long when two young people walked over quickly from the direction of the subway station.
"Gloria!"
With a call, Gloria Preston turned around and smiled immediately when she saw the person coming.
"Blair! Karen!"
Although Gloria lives in Los Angeles and Blair and Karen live in New York, separated by the entire North American continent; but since the premiere of "Spider-Man" Since their unexpected acquaintance, they have been in constant contact online and have long since become good friends.
Blair looked around, "Where's Elaine?"
Just as Gloria was about to speak, there was a call from behind, "Hey, guys."
"Sorry, I just saw the newsstand, and there was actually the June issue of 'Fashion' there. There was Anson's Cannes fashion feature in it. I had never bought it. I thought I might miss it forever, but I didn't expect it! Haha! ! "
The figure waved a copy of "Fashion" in his hand, with a full smile on his face.
Karen looked up and down, "As expected of Elaine, the forever princess dress."
Elaine Cole was wearing a simple outfit of T-shirt and jeans at this moment. But she wears a tutu (Tutu skirt) outside, and the fluffy lace blooms like flowers, making her look unique and continuing the princess style as always.
Gloria has long been used to it. After all, they met at the premiere of "The Princess Diaries".
Elaine showed a shy smile without any excuse, but her eyes were bright.
Gloria looked around and her eyes finally fell on Blair, "So, shall we start here? Is this the place you applied for in advance?"
