Chapter 1059 The situation is over
In the morning, Sony Columbia responded quickly and issued a statement as soon as possible to stop the loss before the situation worsened. Whether it was the speed of response or the content of the statement, it fully demonstrated Michael’s crisis management capabilities——< br>
Praise abound.
In the evening, the situation took a turn for the worse. Michael Lynton's positive response and tough attitude exposed their ugliness and filth, with a ferocious appearance. That statement became the stimulus for countless people to erupt in negative emotions——
The curse was everywhere.
The same thing triggered completely different reactions in the morning and evening:
Welcome to the 21st century, a new era of information ocean, and also a chaotic era of rapid changes in information. Caught off guard.
If there is no official statement, I am afraid that the situation may be out of control in the morning.
But equally, if there is no official statement, the evening will not stimulate the sensitive nerves and moral bottom line of countless ordinary people, triggering a wave of condemnation.
For a while, it is difficult to say whether Michael Linton's crisis management was good or bad.
However, the only thing that is certain is that Sony Colombia is under siege.
In the rush hour congestion in Manhattan, bustling crowds continue to flock towards 550 Madison Avenue.
An endless stream!
It’s endless!
Gradually, gradually, the Sony Columbia Building was surrounded again.
In the morning, more than a thousand people gathered. The scene was truly spectacular and became the subject of heated discussions in major media and forums.
And now?
Three thousand people, at least, and counting.
The congestion during rush hour is usually annoying and frustrating, but today the traffic on Madison Avenue seemed particularly pleasant——
One or two people were watching the excitement. .
Literally, the ground is filled with water, and the sea of people is absolutely a rare sight; coupled with more and more people from all directions continuing to join, the pain and boredom of the long Monday finally found an outlet to burst out, and the innocent Sony Colombia became A punching bag, the citizens of New York are approaching here like a tide.
In the air, radio waves are intertwined.
“...Traffic in midtown Manhattan was completely paralyzed due to the collective protests that took place around the Sony Columbia office building...”
“Obviously, Sony Columbia did not expect this scene at all, Things have completely gone off the rails now..."
"According to reports, New York is not the only one. Sony Columbia's only West Coast headquarters is also surrounded by movie fans and audiences, with more than 1,500 people gathered at the scene. Use red objects as a signal to protest..."
Rustling, rustling, the sound on the radio weaves a magnificent picture.
Originally, all eyes were focused on New York, so that Los Angeles was completely forgotten; but now, due to the earth-shaking changes in the situation in New York, more and more focus has been cast on it, and Los Angeles has also appeared in the field of vision. Position shows the whole story to the general public——
It turns out that both New York and Los Angeles have felt the anger of Anson fans.
"...Now, Fox TV station sent a helicopter to the scene to start reporting..."
The sound of gossip came from the radio station, and the taxi driver stuck his head out of the driver's seat window , looking towards the sky through the obstruction of high-rise buildings.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
Helicopters appeared, hovering over 550 Madison Avenue.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can feel the magnificence of the scene more clearly and comprehensively. The dense crowd spread out in all directions with the Sony Columbia Building as the center, far more than 3,000 people.
Five thousand people? Eight thousand people?
Everyone, all with the name of red objects, all kinds of strange and colorful red objects are waving in the air, forming a billowing heat wave, like a blazing flame, engulfing the building in front of you, even if it is a reinforced concrete building He couldn't withstand the torture for too long.
Moreover, vehicles were lined up on the road as neatly as matchboxes, unintentionally blocking the roads around Sony Colombia.
Sony Columbia was then isolated.
Magnificent!
When Ian Bryce walked, sweating profusely, across four blocks to the Sony Columbia building, his knees weakened when he saw the sea of people in front of him.
Ian worked hard, trying to pass through the crowd and squeeze into the nearby office building.
But it's really hard.
In the end, Ian chose to give up - it had nothing to do with him anyway.
This is a game confrontation between Sony Columbia's board of directors and senior management. After all, his opinions and views cannot compete with higher-level interests; even if he goes to attend the meeting, he will end up either as cannon fodder or Scapegoat, if you think about it seriously, there is really no need for him to squeeze in.
Then, Ian saw Laura Zeskin in the crowd who was sweating profusely and looking equally embarrassed.
Laura looked at Ian, "I'm stuck."
Ian laughed happily, "I can see that."
Laura rolled her eyes helplessly, and then After looking at Ian's face full of contentment, she finally gave up her struggle and stood there obediently.
“I think we might be late for the meeting.” Ian said.
Laura shrugged lightly, "They should not be prepared to wait."
The entire Sony Columbia headquarters building has been completely surrounded, and the surrounding streets are completely blocked. So how do the board members get there?
The answer is, helicopter.
There is an apron on the top floor of the headquarters building.
One after another, board members arrived, but Michael Linton was still looking forward to Laura's appearance.
Although Laura is only a producer, Michael needs support from the crew and, if necessary, the ability to push out and serve as a scapegoat and victim.
Unfortunately, Laura did not show up.
Michael remained calm and elegant on the surface, completely unaffected; however, a row of small blisters emerging from the corners of his mouth still revealed the true clarity -
The dilemma.
To be precise, there is no way out. Sony Columbia has really dug itself into a dead end and now seems to have no other options.
"Sir..." The assistant appeared again.
Michael took a deep breath and said, "Tell the board of directors that I will be there in three minutes."
"No, not the board of directors..."
Michael looked over in confusion, only to find that the assistant wanted to He hesitated, "What time of day is it now? Is there anything that could be worse? If you have anything to say, just say it."
The assistant bared his teeth and showed an awkward smile, "The actors have spoken."< br>
Michael's reaction was slightly slower: Actors, what actors?
The assistant explained, "Tom Hanks."
Michael's heart sank.
If Tom Hanks opens his mouth, it means that a floodgate has been opened, and then other actors will inevitably support Anson.
Didn’t you hear what the assistant just said? "Actors," that's the plural.
Michael managed to remain calm, "What did Tom say."
Assistant, "He supports Anson 100% in any decision he makes."
What does this sentence mean?
If Anson is ready to voluntarily abandon the "Spider-Man" crew, Tom supports it; if Anson chooses to stay and stick to it, Tom also supports it.
Unconditionally, one hundred percent.
This is a kind of trust, but it also means that Tom is willing to play the role of support for Anson, not only to support Anson, but also to provide support for Heath Ledger actors who are brave enough to speak out.
Michael realized:
The situation was over.
