The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 1040 Emergency Brake

Things are getting out of control, and behind all the conspiracy theories one can clearly feel that Sony Columbia has a lot of targets on its back.

If we are not careful, the next step will be a bottomless abyss. It is even possible that the audience will collectively boycott "Spider-Man 2" or even Sony Columbia.

Even if the conspiracy theory had not evolved to such a bad extent, Sony Columbia's poor management of the set led to paparazzi invasion, affecting filming and causing accidents. Not only did they not repent and have no empathy, but they were also ready to abandon Anson and look for a replacement while Anson was recovering from injury, which was not a good look.

You can imagine the wave of criticism with your eyes closed.

By then, Michael would probably be condemned by the board of directors.

It is true that the board is unhappy with Amy, and it is also true that the board is interested in replacing the CEO.

However, we should never forget that the board of directors is ultimately protecting the interests of the company and itself. If Michael damages the reputation of Sony Columbia, it will only take a few minutes for the board of directors to abandon Michael and choose another good choice. In any case, there is no essential difference between Michael and Amy.

A small change completely overturned the whole situation.

It has always been the ants that have become scapegoats for these large companies. When will it be the turn of these large companies to become the scapegoats for the ants?

However, this is indeed the situation now.

So Michael had to slam on the brakes to avoid getting stuck in the mud.

Even Michael himself couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Anson accident was arranged by them internally?
But Michael knew the answer was no.

If it wasn't them, then who would it be, could it be Amy?
But does Amy have the determination to sacrifice Anson and maintain her advantage in Sony Columbia?

If Amy had such courage, Michael would never have had the chance to take the position. Amy would never have put herself in such a situation.

So, who?
Michael was a little frustrated and irritated because he couldn't see the overall situation and lacked enough information. It was not a pleasant feeling to be trapped on the chessboard.

All along, Michael has been working hard and calculating, hoping that he can break free from the fate of being controlled and manipulated, and transform himself into a superior who controls the fate of others; but this time, Michael thought he had seized the opportunity, but before he could make any real move, he fell into a passive position again.

Michael vaguely believed that there was a big hand behind the scenes controlling the overall situation.

One thing leads to another, one step at a time.

Michael's intuition sounded the alarm and he realized the crisis was coming after calculating strategies, people's hearts, accidents and public opinion, and making a comprehensive plan without leaving any room for error.

The situation is now in chaos and the storm is completely out of control; but Michael has a bad feeling that worse things are yet to come.

The problem is, Michael can't calculate it.

Michael doesn't like this feeling of uneasiness and even hates it. So, who is controlling it behind the scenes?
Amy?

Ian?

Sam?

Or is it the old fox in the board of directors?
Originally, everything had been arranged. By cutting off the source of the problem, Anson was kicked out directly. Michael took the initiative in the "Spider-Man 2" crew and let the crew itself and the company see the future direction clearly. Smart people naturally know what to choose.

But now, the situation they had anticipated was completely disrupted by a series of unexpected events.

Unable to guess and unable to find clues, Michael had to be cautious.

Whatever the situation, at least for now we should wait and see.

First, Michael's instincts were correct.

Secondly, since it was a comprehensive layout, it meant that Michael's step had been taken into account, and the layout was even completed before Michael.

Although Michael had a keen sense of smell and was alert in time, and controlled the situation in advance, he was still a step too slow.

At almost the same time, another conference room was also in a state of tension. The only difference was that there was no chaos, the anxiety and tension were firmly under control, suppressed under the surface, and still remained calm.

After all, that’s what it means to be a PR person in the first place.

"Eve, we are all ready. When do we start?"

The assistant was still a little impatient, and a hint of nervousness leaked out from his slightly trembling voice. The look he gave Eve was also filled with urgency and nervousness.

Eve also looked a little nervous, which was unusual for her. Her opponent was Sony Columbia, and if she wasn't careful she might fall into an abyss from which there was no escape.

Eve didn't say anything. She looked down at her slightly trembling fingers and actually smiled. She really hadn't experienced such a moment for a long time. Tension and excitement were intertwined. She could feel the flapping of butterflies in her lower abdomen, so that her fingers and toes were a little cold.

She likes it a little bit.

then.

Eve sat down on the desk, took out lipstick from her small Chanel handbag, and applied it carefully in front of the small mirror of the powder puff. The bright and flamboyant red color bloomed on her fair cheeks.

After applying it, Eve took out a small bottle of perfume and sprinkled some on her wrists and behind her ears, as if she was preparing to attend a dinner party.

"Eve!" The assistant mustered up the courage to call out again.

Eve's bright lips curled up slightly, "Wait a moment."

“Do you know what the key to public relations is?”

"Everyone thinks it's about the words, but no, it's not. To be precise, it should be the timing. The same words said earlier and later are two different things; the content of the response a day ago and a day later is also different."

"Seizing the opportunity means taking the initiative."

"So-called strength and weakness are only relative, especially in the era of the Internet information ocean, which is changing rapidly. This is completely different from the era of traditional paper media, and the role of timing is becoming more and more important."

"So, if you want to be a good public relations person, you must understand this, learn to seize the opportunity and make time your friend."

"As for now, we need to wait a little longer and have some patience."

Whether it is nervousness or anxiety, they are essentially a manifestation of lack of self-confidence because they come from doubt and hesitation, but Eve believes in herself.

Of course, she also believed in Anson.

Until, "Eve, updated!" Another assistant who kept refreshing the computer page looked up at Eve in disbelief.

Everything is expected.

Eve's flaming red lips curled up slightly. "We've been spreading rumors for so long, it's time. So, which media?"

"…'The New York Times.'"

The flaming red lips paused slightly, and the arc that gently rose became more brilliant, "Oh, this is a little surprise."

“Exclusive: The truth behind the ‘Spider-Man 2’ set accident —

Was it an accident or a man-made disaster? "

Eve sat in front of the computer screen and refreshed the homepage of the official website of The New York Times. The newly updated content rushed into her field of vision.

As can be seen from the title, the name of the protagonist Anson does not appear at all, and the focus is entirely on the accident itself; it does not use explosive keywords to attract attention like the title party, but gets to the point with sharp words, grasping the key points concisely and sharply, worthy of being the number one media in North America.
