"Someone is investigating Miss Watson." Roberts paused, then continued, "You know, I have some unclear connections with the underground forces in Los Angeles, although I have quit now. Someone hired a private detective, Then investigate Emma's past. But her image as a feminist is well managed, so far those private investigators haven't found anything."
"Isn't this great?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Not at all," Roberts shook his head, "especially for people who want to find out."
Hearing what Roberts said, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, he vaguely understood something.
Hiring a private detective to investigate a person has clearly crossed the bottom line of Hollywood's "fair competition". This is different from hiring paparazzi and reporters to follow and smear. Even the eight major distributors never mentioned hiring private investigators to investigate competitors' film actors when the competition was at its most intense.
Since the other party has easily crossed the bottom line, naturally they don't care about the means.
If you don't have enough black history, just create some.
Emma Watson is the endorsement star signed by Future Life, and has already printed every bottle of nutrition mixture. She is also one of the actors in the film "The Iron Curtain of Time and Space" co-operated by Virtual Image Animation and Warner Bros. Although from the standpoint of the chairman of the group, he does not need to take action in such a small matter, but it is related to his own interests after all, since he has already heard it, then he can forget about it.
"Who could it be?" Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know." Roberts shook his head, "I've paid attention to it, but the other party seems to have a lot of background. I'm no longer the arms dealer back then, and the gangsters in Los Angeles have no reason to sell my face and protect the benefactor. Privacy is the rule of their profession."
"Could it be a competitor of Warner Brothers?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"It's unlikely." Roberts shook his head.
Even Warner Bros. rivals, picking Emma Watson as the subject of hype is a stupid choice. Not to mention that the supporting role of the deputy captain in the movie is not high, and he can barely be regarded as a second-tier movie star in North America. He also dragged Future Life, another subsidiary of Future Group, into the water. The person who thought of this idea was amused.
As long as you do a little research about the movies in the same period, and who is the distributor that competes with "The Iron Curtain of Time and Space", the mastermind behind the scenes can't hide himself.
No need for evidence in Hollywood,
You just need to know who your enemy is. And there are many ways to solve the problem.
Jiang Chen asked, "Who would that be?"
"Maybe she offended someone? Maybe she attracted someone's attention? In short, someone wanted to tarnish her reputation. It's that simple." Roberts spread his hands and said that it had nothing to do with him.
After Jiang Chen pondered for a while, he just kept this matter in his heart. After he couldn't think of a way to do it, he didn't think about it any more.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen returned his mind to the second matter of visiting Roberts today.
"Let's not talk about this, do you have any plans to vote together?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Roberts immediately glanced at him vigilantly.
"Man, you know, I've quit. If you want arms, I can introduce someone to you... But you don't need my introduction, the California consortium led by the Giannini family is the largest arms in Los Angeles Boss, you just want to buy a few F-18 Hornets, he can give you an idea-"
"Get out, I'm not talking about arms." Jiang Chen interrupted Roberts, coughed, and continued, "I plan to register a film company in Los Angeles, and I still need a CEO."
Hearing that it wasn't arms, Roberts had an interested look on his face, but he didn't immediately agree, but asked him a question he was more concerned about: "Are you planning to start your own film company? Isn't your virtual image animation working with Warner Bros. ?"
"They hold the shareholding too tightly, and their finances are opaque." Jiang Chen shook his head, "Although our cooperation with Warner Bros. Modeling the virtual shooting environment is the main business of virtual animation, but I don't plan to build it into an 'Industrial Light and Magic' for major filmmakers, and have a place in Hollywood."
"Are you planning to get involved in the distribution?" Roberts looked at Jiang Chen strangely, put the empty wine glass on the table beside him, and poured himself another glass, "This is impossible, the distribution rights of the film are basically controlled by the eight major film companies. Give monopoly, don’t think that just making a movie can be put on the big screen, the distribution of the movie is not much easier than the shooting itself. Otherwise, there are so many producers in Hollywood, why do they tolerate the eight major film companies lying on their own Blood-sucking? Because the things they filmed by themselves can't win the theaters at all!"
In this era when channels are king, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. It is impossible for the major theaters to scramble over to beg them to bring the film to them for release because the Future Group is very influential in the high-tech field.
Roberts brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip. After a pause, he continued: "As for the accounting issue...it's not news that Hollywood cheated foreign investors of their money. They even dared to deceive Wall Street capitalists. Not to mention investors from overseas. If you invest 100 million US dollars and the North American box office can reach 200 million, and they make a loss-making financial report and throw it on your table, they are already very worthy of you."
Having said that, Roberts emphasized again.
"Even if you are collaborators."
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's why I found you. Even the White House dares to deceive and deceive people, so there is no reason to deceive Bada Films."
"Hey, man, who do you take me for?" Roberts said dissatisfied
"Old fox, or something else." Jiang Chen chuckled.
Roberts slapped his middle finger fiercely, and put the wine glass back on the table.
This time he didn't refill himself.
He had developed a habit over the years of drinking whatever he wanted at parties, but he had to stay sober, preferably abstaining, when talking about business.
"Come with me, I think we can plan this matter." After leaving this sentence, Roberts turned and walked towards the living room.
"Isn't the distribution of films monopolized by the eight major film companies?" Jiang Chen whistled mockingly.
"Indeed, that's why I said, we have to plan carefully. For example, how to cut off a piece of flesh from those vampires." Roberts said excitedly.
"So, are you ready to take over the position of CEO?"
Roberts turned around and smiled.
"Why not? Working with you always brings me good luck." (To be continued.)
