Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 596

Chapter 596 Xiao Lizi's dirty information

"What are you going to do? Lionsgate has acclaimed and successful movies like "American Sniper," "The Revenant," and "The Martian," as well as "Foxcatcher," "Inherited," "Into the Wild" and "The Big Short." How can we compare this type of high-quality literary and artistic films?

It can't be compared at all, I think it's better not to waste money. "

Bob asked with a frown.

Harvey couldn't help but tremble when he heard Bob's words. He was very unhappy with Bob's words, but he had to admit that what Bob said was right.

At least half of the top ten movies in North America this year are from Lionsgate Pictures. "American Sniper" and "The Revenant", which are considered the best movies of the year, are all from Lionsgate.

Among the films co-produced by Weinstein Pictures and Warner Bros., none can compare to these two, and there is also a certain gap between them and Lionsgate's second-tier art films.

According to this situation, no matter how much money is spent on public relations, it is impossible to defeat Lions Gate, and even threats cannot do it.

Harvey is angry and has a sense of powerlessness brought about by despair.

As the former king of Hollywood, Oscar-winning actor and actress, now he is not only far behind Link in the movie box office, but also completely defeated by Link in the public relations of the Academy Awards, which he is best at.

How did things come to be like this?

Harvey took a greedy breath and told Bob with a dark face that even if he couldn't compete with Lionsgate for the Oscars, he wouldn't watch Lionsgate take away all the Oscars.

Bob frowned and asked what he wanted to do.

Harvey said nothing with a sullen face.

Just not long after, a lot of negative news about Lionsgate movies came out in the media.

Some media criticized the adaptation of "American Sniper" for being inaccurate. Snipers like to shoot in the back and are not worthy of praise.

Criticized the crew of "The Revenant" for destroying the local ecological environment during filming.

Criticized "The Big Short" for its shallow conception and failure to delve deeply into the causes of the subprime mortgage crisis.

There are also some negative news aimed at the main actors of several movies, including Link, Leonardo, Cathy Witherspoon, Joaquin Phoenix, etc.

The most eye-catching among them are several pieces of black material related to Leonardo, claiming that Leonardo only dated young women and played with women's feelings, that Leonardo was a fake environmentalist, and that Leonardo had A certain female politician had an affair, went on a date in XX Island, got $6 million a day, etc.

Especially the black material about Leonardo's affair with a female politician was the most topical. Many people speculated that the female politician was Mrs. Larich, the candidate of the Donkey Party.

“It's so funny, I don't know if it's true.”

In the penthouse of LINK Building, Link was holding the New York Post and eating a big melon with great interest.

“Whether it's true or not, people have ulterior motives for being exposed at this time. Maybe someone doesn't want him to win the Oscar for Best Actor.”

Ivaca came out from behind the counter with two cups of hot coffee and handed one cup to his hand.

"I'm afraid that's the case. I don't know if the person who spread the rumor is just making it up, or if he has inside information. If the rumor is true, this news will be very beneficial to my father-in-law, and he should be very happy to see it."

“It's like this.”

Ivaca tugged her golden hair around her ears and smiled slightly. Now Mrs. Larich is the top seed contestant of the Donkey Party. If the news is confirmed, her father can use this news to attack his opponents when he competes for the top position.

“Should we intervene?”

“Let's take a look first. The situation is unclear now, so it's not appropriate to intervene rashly.”

Link thought for a moment and said.

This news is good for the old father-in-law and bad for Leonardo. The old father-in-law may use this news to attack his opponents.

Leonardo will probably be very anxious at this time, trying to figure out how to clarify these negative news.

The old father-in-law and Leonardo are both from their own side, and it will not be good no matter who is harmed by this.

So now it's better to wait and see what happens and see if there is any other content in the future.

— ˆ ˆ After the news came to light, Leonardo initially remained silent and was not prepared to explain in order to prevent it from attracting too much attention. However, the news involved popular male stars and popular female politicians in politics, as well as their tidbits, which was very In line with the taste of melon-eating people.

After being exposed, the popularity of the news remained high. Only two or three media reported it on the first day, then more than a dozen on the second day, and it hit the hot search list on the third day.

At this time, Leonardo's agency and agent quickly stood up to refute the rumors and proposed to use legal means to safeguard Leonardo's reputation and let those who spread the rumors get the punishment they deserve.

Since the media did not reveal any new information, the news became quiet again after being circulated for several days.

Although the news did not make a big fuss, it had some negative impact on Leonardo's reputation, especially in December, which is an important part of the Oscars public relations for major film companies and agencies.

Leonardo called Link, very angry, shouting that he was not done with Harvey.

“Harvey? Do you think he's causing trouble?”

Link was a little surprised. Since Lionsgate Pictures became the top seven in Hollywood, he only regarded the six major film studios as competitors. He almost never paid attention to Harvey and Weinstein Pictures, and did not think that they could compete with Lionsgate Pictures. What hinders its development?

Now Leonardo insists that Harvey is causing trouble, and reminds Link of this person again.

It's just that he has some doubts about it.

Harvey is the spokesperson and financial envoy of the Donkey Party in Hollywood, and has a good relationship with Mrs. Larich. What is the other party's purpose in breaking this news at this time, is it just to prevent Lionsgate's movies from winning Oscars?

“Yes, it's Harvey, I have plenty of evidence.”

Leonardo said.

“Well, what are you going to do, if you want to sue Harvey, Lionsgate can provide some help.”

Link said.

"Thank you! But don't use it for the time being. The law is useless against people like Harvey. I also have some black material about Harvey in my hand. Let's see who can outwit whom."

Leonardo said angrily.

Link raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that many people in the circle knew what Harvey was doing. However, in the past, Harvey was so powerful that no one dared to stand up and accuse him.

Now Harvey and Weinstein Pictures are completely suppressed by Lionsgate Pictures in Hollywood, and their influence is getting smaller and smaller.

Perhaps we can take action to remove Harvey, the cancer that has taken root in Hollywood.

On the one hand, it can eliminate opponents and purify the entertainment industry environment. On the other hand, it can also reduce the influence of the Donkey Party in Los Angeles and help the old father-in-law ascend to power.

And Leonardo's incident is an opportunity.

He asked Leonardo how he was going to deal with Xavi?

Leonardo said that he knew about Harvey's unspoken rule about the actress and just needed to investigate, which would definitely make Harvey disgraced.

Link shook his head, thinking that Leonardo had some conclusive evidence, but it turned out that it still needed to be investigated.

Considering that Leonardo was unreliable in other aspects besides being good at acting, he gave up the intention of handing over the material to Leonardo. It would be better to hand it over to Ronan Farrow.

Ronan Farrow is a young man with a background, ambition, and a special desire to get ahead. He is more suitable to deal with Harvey than Leonardo.

Leonardo asked again about Oscar public relations. Now is a special period, but this kind of news breaks out, and the impact is very bad.

Leonardo has become even more anxious because of this. He hopes that the public relations department of Lionsgate Pictures can think of ways to increase his probability of winning an Oscar and not give up helping him with public relations because of this matter.

Link told him not to worry, this matter would not affect the Oscars, and asked him to concentrate on promoting the movie, leaving the Oscars to the public relations team.
