Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 463: We can’t investigate everything, right? The rift widens

"From the video, it seems like these two people have really seen each other's work."

"Especially Chen, he almost memorized Harry Potter, it's incredible."

"It is a wonderful thing that two great writers, despite their different genders, nationalities, races and ethnicities, can understand and appreciate each other."

"..."

Some of the comments are awkward, but most of them seem to be posted by normal netizens.

Anyway, Chen Linfeng couldn't tell which ones were water armies and which ones were comments from netizens.

Driven by the strong force behind it, the news spread very quickly.

The previous fan fight was just at the beginning stage.

They put out the fire quickly enough, and fans always want to see that their favorite great writers can also be respected.

Now this new news is more in line with their wishes, so the storm that was about to arise has gradually dissipated.

Most of the book fans who just learned about it thought that the previous news was a misunderstanding.

As for the other one, it was discriminatory remarks against Chinese and even Asian people.

You have to adopt another approach.

This type of public opinion has not shown any signs of expanding abroad so far.

After all, it's not 16 years later.

Even on the Internet, the platform itself has algorithms to prevent the spread of related public opinion.

Therefore, what we need to do is not to take the initiative to confront.

Once it becomes a controversial topic, it becomes like yellow mud stuck on your crotch, which is probably shit at least.

After waiting for a few more days, no further developments occurred.

Chen Linfeng knew that the communication program initiated by Disney must have worked.

Later, during the call with Pete.

Chen Linfeng also knew some of the information behind the scenes.

“So initially, the other party did some conventional propaganda and then tried to launch some offensives.

As a result, our response was too slow, and then they stepped up their efforts?"

"Yes, that's the official statement."

"What about unofficial ones?"

Pete lowered his voice, "It seems that someone is unhappy with Jerry. They think that he is taking on two big projects at the same time and it's too much."

"What?"

"But the news may not be accurate,"

Peter added, "It's also possible that he really hates outsiders. You know, Chen, this kind of thing is hard to avoid. There are always some people with old-fashioned ideas."

This "outsider" actually refers to the yellow race.

It seems that my original speculation was not wrong.

The personnel structure in a large company is too complicated and it is impossible for them to be united.

Chen Linfeng pondered for a moment. "What did the person in charge of the relevant matters say? Sister Mei asked about it specifically at the beginning. The other party said that they tried their best to prevent it, but failed."

"This is the brain problem I just mentioned."

Pete complained, "When the company found out about him, he thought there was no need to pay special attention to some of the comments. Then, through the background data search, it was found that some of the racially discriminatory comments were made by him."

Chen Linfeng choked, "How did this guy get this position if he's so stupid?"

"No way, many stupid people can't see it normally."

Chen Linfeng asked curiously, "Then how did the news about Jerry that you mentioned come out?"

"I have friends at Warner and 20th Century Fox."

Pete stopped talking halfway.

But Chen Linfeng already understood.

It is normal for the rich second generation to ignore company secrets in order to show off in their circle of friends.

Pete talked about the follow-up of time again, and this matter can only end with the director in charge of public opinion.

Disney expressed its sincere apologies and promised that similar problems would never occur again.

In fact, Chen Linfeng heard more in-depth information from Leonardo.

Someone has compiled a large amount of negative information about Bruckheimer and is preparing to expose it. It has already been leaked to some media outlets and is said to be quite serious.

This matter was suppressed by Disney in time.

But the news was still known to a small number of people.

All I can say is that at a certain level, there are really no secrets in Hollywood.

As for who collected the negative information, all we know is that it must have been someone inside Disney, but no one has continued to investigate further.

We can't check everything, what if we really find out something?

Sir Humphrey's quotes never go out of date.

The whole incident did not last long and the impact it caused was not that great.

As for Emily Ken, there are only some tabloid reports, and it has not yet spread to the major media.

The domestic media didn't even receive the news.

Chen Linfeng is still a little confused and can't see the truth clearly.

Now it seems that he was hacked, but it seems more like he was affected.

But I can’t say for sure.

After all, how could anyone be so stupid as to want to attack Bruckheimer and end up using him as a target first?

Isn't this all exposed?

However, this incident still made him alert.

In the United States, it is impossible to get involved in public opinion platforms such as social media, which was very obvious in Facebook's initial investment.

You can only make a little money, but you can't hold it for a long time.

For this matter, the relevant departments of Emily Ken even talked to him. But when he encountered problems, especially when he encountered the top six in Hollywood, he felt very uncomfortable because he had no countermeasures.

Since we can’t defeat them by fighting, we can only find a way to join them.

Chen Linfeng thought that he should speed up the cooperation with several other major Hollywood companies.

It just so happened that he had a cooperation application from Warner regarding novels.

Looks like it's time to meet.

Chen Linfeng called Sister Mei and asked her to make the contact.

"Okay, let's arrange the time to coincide with your participation in the promotion of Infinite World. How about that?"

"Yes, we can find a way to leak some information to the outside world."

Sister Mei was startled, then she thought about it and began to understand.

"Let Disney know in advance and raise Warner's terms?"

"There is an intention in this regard,"

Chen Linfeng nodded and said, "Not only that, this recent incident is ultimately Disney's problem.

I felt uneasy about this, and I wanted to give myself a little more sense of security, which I think is right.

This way, the other party should be more understanding and avoid any unpleasantness. "

Sister Mei was full of admiration, "You think too much."

Indeed, it is very important for people to have a legitimate reason for doing things when interacting with each other.

Sometimes just a small difference can lead to completely different results.

Disney has always been Chen Linfeng's partner in novels, at least in Europe and the United States.

Now, because of some minor unpleasantness, he has turned to cooperate with other companies.

Disney can't just make a big fuss about this.

Sure enough, within two days, Pete called.

"Chen, I heard that you were going to write a new novel and then cooperate with Warner on related promotion matters?"

"It has not been confirmed yet. We haven't even discussed it yet. It's just an intention."

"But we were working well together before, why do we suddenly want to change partners?"

Chen Linfeng did not explain, but said in a deep voice, "Peter, you should know the reason."

Peter said helplessly, "Chen, I know you are very unhappy about what happened before, but I promise you, there will never be a next time."

“Pete, I want to believe you, but what happened before makes me very uneasy.

You also know how I was treated in China. This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in my life. You should understand me. "

Chen Linfeng casually brushed off the incident with Yuanyuan.

It's been so long anyway, it's normal that he can't remember it.

Besides, even if I keep remembering it and it triggers my PTSD, wouldn’t that be more serious?

Pete really is sincere when it comes to treating his friends.

Faced with the other party's doubts, he was really speechless.

Chen Linfeng comforted him, "Peter, you shouldn't be caught in the middle. After all, you are no longer in charge of novel-related business, right?"

"But the introduction of your novel has always been blamed on me."

Chen Linfeng sighed, "Peter, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this. You shouldn't have said anything to the public yet, right?"

"Huh? Not yet. As soon as I heard the news, I called you to ask."

Peter was a little confused, "What did you mean by that just now?"

"It's all your credit that I can continue to cooperate with Disney to publish novels. Now I have to change to another company because of someone else's mistakes. Is that right?"

"Well, that's right."

"Then you shouldn't take the blame for other people's mistakes."

Chen Linfeng said, "If you come to talk to me, and I don't change my mind, then it means you are not doing your job well.

Maybe others will ask you to force me and thus destroy the relationship between us.

In turn, you should say this to the company.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have stopped collaborating on movies after five.

It was you who saved the day, and for your sake, I only want to change my cooperation with a company in such an unimportant field as novels."

"Ah? Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right, that's it."

Chen Linfeng affirmed, "Anyway, I would definitely say this to others."

Pete gradually figured it out, "You have really made up your mind."

Chen Linfeng was silent for a moment, "Yes, this incident has confirmed to me that it is still too unsafe to have only one partner."

Pete could understand his concerns, so he didn't say anything more.

We are all friends, there is really no difference.

It can't be that company matters have affected their personal relationship.

Personal interests and company interests must be separated.

"Okay, I'll help explain it to the people in your company."

Pitt finally chose to help, as Chen is now a more important director.

Novels are indeed not as important as they used to be.

Especially after "The World Is Infinite", "Sherlock Holmes" was adapted into a TV series in cooperation with BBC.

Maybe the next novel will be suitable for adaptation into a TV series.

It hasn’t been written down yet, so there’s really no need to worry about this.

"But, Chen, once the novel is translated, please let me read it first. I have always been a loyal fan of yours."

Chen Linfeng smiled, "Haha, I can't forget you."
