~： Four hundred and seventy-one - choice

According to the original plan, the crew worked smoothly on the first floor of the **** bank building for half a day, but when darkness fell on the Big Apple, countless media, newspapers and other institutions across North America were caught in a dilemma.

It was late at night, and when the clock rang "dang, dang, dang" at three in the morning, the hotel where Wayne and the others were staying had already fallen into a deep sleep.

The crew consists of a huge and complex crew. As long as the filming starts, it is like a sophisticated and complicated machine. As long as there are not too many unexpected situations, no one is willing and no one can stop the work. If a day is lost, It means a loss of millions of dollars in money, and at the same time, it will disrupt the work rhythm of hundreds of people.

At this time, a bustling block not too far from the hotel, Manhattan Times Square, known as the "crossroads of the world", several buildings are still brightly lit, which can be regarded as the news media center of the Big Apple, including ABC Many news media around the world, including the company, have studios and press centers in Times Square.

Therefore, many foreign media, when explaining live news in North America, always like to cut the camera to the studio in Times Square. Usually people feel that the prosperous scenery as the background can weaken certain political factors.

Just like the name of this square, the most important current affairs media here, the first thing people think of is the famous "New York Times". This newspaper, known for its "credibility" and "authority", has a global distribution and is a representative of high-level print media and serious publications in North America.

But there are always two sides to things. This newspaper, like all print media, also has an entertainment section. At this moment, in the editor-in-chief's office of the entertainment section, two people are standing by the window, silently watching the bright lights outside the window.

[Recommendation, Mimi reading and chasing books is really easy to use, download it here and you can try it. 】

"Can't wait any longer!"

Editor-in-chief Joseph Ballmer is a middle-aged white man who has been working in the office for a long time, which has inevitably made his body fat. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Jim Burgess who was standing beside him. After three o'clock in the morning, we will delay the printing of the factory at night, and no one can afford this responsibility."

He feels a little nervous now that he would believe the advice of a small reporter, and he has stayed with the other party until now.

Jim Beegis was also very nervous at this time. As the editor-in-chief said, if he really wanted to delay the printing of newspapers in the factory, no one could take the responsibility. Nor does he joke about his career.

But when he thought of his own judgment, he couldn't help but said, "Mr. Ballmer, based on my experience in front-line work, I have come to the conclusion that it is very likely that there will be no authoritative media reports about Wayne Greenberg tomorrow. If the news only appeared on the "New York Failure" family..."

This is the main reason why they have waited for news. Of course, Joseph Ballmer knows that the New York Times does not need to get exclusive entertainment headlines. Their natural status in the media industry is destined to take such risks. .

For such a worldwide authoritative media, the principle of reporting news has always been to seek stability and truth. They don't need it, nor do they bother to rely on entertainment headlines to gain sales.

The current situation is very strange. Similar things have never happened in the entire North American news history. This is really not a big thing, but if you wake up tomorrow morning, the public finds this article about Wayne Greenberg and the little boy. News, which only appears in the authoritative media of "The New York Times", not only will not gain any benefits, but also may become the target of public criticism and the target of public criticism.

You must know that the most powerful player in moral kidnapping has never been a certain piece of land in the East, and the one who played the most expensive moral kidnapping has always been the Western media counterparts.

Today's "New York Times" entertainment section has temporarily fixed two different content. Of course, for reasons such as stability, they can directly choose to ignore the incident that happened in New York at noon, but what if other authoritative media reported it?

I am afraid that at that time, the high-level executives will only feel that the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section, and even all the media workers in the entire entertainment section, have lost their news sensitivity, and they can ignore the major events that happen under their noses. Therefore, the taste of riding a tiger has been tortured Joseph Ballmer in the middle of the night.

"Ding, bell, bell~, ding, bell, bell~"

Just as Joseph Ballmer frowned and wanted to make a decision quickly, the phone on the desk rang very suddenly.

"Damn, it should be the call to urge the finalization..." He glanced at the bright lights outside the window again, shook his head and turned towards the desk. At this time, Jim Burgess bowed his head helplessly. He turned around and followed his boss back to his desk.

"This is Joseph Ballmer." The entertainment editor-in-chief of The New York Times answered the phone, but then fell silent, and his face gradually changed dramatically over time, from frowning to hanging up smile.

It took quite a while to answer the call, and Joseph Ballmer didn't say anything other than a few "um, um" promises.

Jim Burgess on the side had already seen that something was wrong, and looked at his boss anxiously. Before the other party's call could be answered, there was a sudden knock on the door of the editor-in-chief's office. In the silent early morning, a few "bang bang bang" sounds were particularly harsh, which immediately attracted the attention of the two people in the room.

"Please come in."

Joseph Ballmer covered the microphone with one hand, shouted to the door, put the phone to his ear again, and listened carefully to the news coming from the other end of the phone.

"Boss, the factory has already called twice to urge, we..."

The assistant editor-in-chief looked anxious and couldn't wait to speak when he entered the door. However, seeing the downward gesture of the editor-in-chief, he wisely closed his mouth and followed Jim Burgess, waiting patiently for the call to end.

After about a minute or so, Joseph Ballmer finally put down the phone contentedly, with a hint of shock in his eyes, looked at the two people opposite the office, pondered for a moment, and said, "There is something wrong. As a result, the factory is notified that the printing can be started..."

The same situation happened not only in New York, but in Burbank, another North American media capital, as far away as Los Angeles. The authoritative print media, mainly the Los Angeles Times, received relevant information almost at the same time, and then quickly made a decision.

The reason for their concerns is very simple. Their authority and fairness are like a ruler. While gaining the trust of many readers around the world, they also lose their willful qualifications, even if they are in the entertainment section. in this way.

Besides, in the hearts of many media people, this incident has already exceeded the scope of the entertainment circle. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that he is a current affairs news with a full social nature.

Compared with the authoritative media that looks ahead and rides a tiger, the pure entertainment media does not have so many concerns. The gossip tabloids from the first-tier to the third- and fourth-tier tabloids have determined the news for the next day early, and they are very positioning themselves. Clear and understand that it is impossible for him to sell gossip news to the world anyway.

Just before dawn broke, in the bedroom of a villa on the outskirts of Chicago, another media capital in North America, Roger Albert had lost a lot of weight compared to a few months ago, and was lying on a furnished hospital bed. The haggard body and face, under the retro round glasses, set off a few buck teeth particularly conspicuous.

"Roger, the Chicago Sun-Times rejected your proposal outright, and several local Chicago newspapers also responded with rejections."

The bedroom door was pushed open, and the agent, Lloyd, looked tired, and directly gave the result of no success. Looking at the Pulitzer Prize winner lying on the hospital bed, seemingly weak but actually fearless, he shook his head and continued: "It's even more impossible over there in New York, where Time Warner's territory is, last time things you should have..."

Then he paused in Roger Albert's wide eyes, he slowed down. "Roger, there's no point in actually doing this. Listen, my opinion is, don't get carried away by anger."

After the agent Lloyd finished speaking, he sat on the chair beside the hospital bed, lowered his head and began to wait silently. Of course, he knew that his client's thinking had been distorted. In the heart of the Pulitzer Prize winner, he always felt that the reason why he was diagnosed with cancer was because of the director named Wayne Greenberg.

It was because of Warner Bros.'s warning that finally the proud film critic fainted out of anger. If he hadn't fainted out of anger, he wouldn't have been diagnosed with cancer. This logic, even children. I know it's wrong, but my client obviously thinks so.

In fact, in Royce's heart, there are some words that he has never dared to say. Do you want to tell his clients that the young man may not know about the warnings Warner Bros. and Time Warner warned them? No, that's really cruel.

"Forget it, I just wanted to make him unhappy, so forget it."

It wasn't until a few minutes passed that Roger Albert, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, and the low voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "What happened to the big fish at Warner Bros? Royce, money is just a bunch of numbers to me now, isn't it a million dollars? Promise him."

"Roger, are you sure you want to do this?"

Royce raised his head sharply and confirmed it to the other party again.

"Go ahead, get the things first, and I will notify you in advance of the specific activation time."

The agent took a deep look, and the client, who had closed his eyes and rested, stood up and opened the door, and his figure gradually disappeared in front of this luxurious villa.
