American Gossip King

Chapter 118 Hollywood Nightmare (Part 2)

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Dandy Constell was caught cheating in a hotel by his wife!"

"Consell fled outside wearing a bed sheet, but the sheet came off in the hall."

"Mrs. Consell hit him in the groin with a baseball bat, and Consell will probably never regain his manly charm."

Two days after the Madonna incident, a new Hollywood scandal has broken out.

Although Dandy Constell isn't a Hollywood star, the news of him being home-run by his wife while running naked in the street was quite dramatic and quickly made headlines.

Two days later, another major news story broke.

This is yet another Hollywood star's scandalous affair.

In less than a week, three major Hollywood revelations have set the entire American public on edge.

There have been too many violent and bloody news stories in recent days, and now there is finally a sex scandal, which has relieved the public's violent and fearful mood, swelled their gossip, and even made Ian Karl's praise rise even higher.

"Ian Carl never disappoints."

"He's either walking through a hail of bullets or teetering on the edge of a cliff with beautiful women!"

"I envy Ian Carl so much; his life is always so colorful."

"All the journalists in America combined aren't as good as him!"

"Ian Carl, I love you. I want to sleep with my ex-boyfriend. If you're willing to film me, I can call my husband right now!"

"Come take my picture, Ian, I can offer you my entire body without any covering!"

Of course, there were also those who opposed it.

"What rubbish about butterflies? This is clearly a flower butterfly! We don't want sex scandals, we want violent and bloody events!"

"Ian Carl, your strengths are gunfights, explosions, and death. Don't forget your roots!"

"I also hate reading those lousy Hollywood news stories because they're always censored! Fuck, good news is never censored!"

"I want to see Madonna's *, I want the original version."

"Offering a hefty reward for the original video!"

The series of bombshell revelations have brought not only financial benefits, but also panic in Hollywood!

………………

Trump Tower, the chairman's office at the headquarters of Carl Media Group.

Ian was sitting in his office, smiling as he made a phone call.

"Harvey, it's me. I know you were involved in the production of The Lord of the Rings. I remember telling you that I would handle your publicity and distribution, right? I know it's a New Line Cinema production, but your brother Bob Weinstein is the producer! His inside story? I can get it anytime. In Hollywood, nobody can control their own belt, nobody... Very well, it's settled then. Remember, I want a share of the profits. Don't worry, I won't ask for a high price. I make money with my excellent eye for talent."

"Mr. Richard, this is Ian Carl... Planet of the Apes is a great movie, I have high hopes for it... I haven't seen it, but I have a feeling... I hope to contribute to its promotion... No money needed... Just a small share, I've never been greedy."

"Michael Barnason? This is Ian Carr… Yes, I'm very interested in the marketing for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone… I think we can talk. You wouldn't want your affair with Miss Bennett to get out, would you? Don't worry, Carr Media's influence will be beyond your imagination. I'm absolutely willing to take a gamble on this, and all my partners and I are happy to. How about a tiered agreement? But I require involvement in all subsequent marketing for Harry Potter… This would definitely be a win-win deal!"

One phone call after another came in, and Ian easily accomplished his set goal.

He secured some of the publicity business for many upcoming Hollywood films.

At that moment, Secretary Sunny walked over.

She stopped gracefully in front of Ian, her expression a mixture of frustration and disappointment at her failed attempt to seduce him: "Warner Bros. called to welcome your offer to promote Ocean's Eleven and Harry Potter."

Ian nodded: "Let the GG department handle the negotiations. I've arranged the general direction for them, so don't make me do everything myself."

Sunny continued, looking at the documents in her hand, "20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, and New Line Cinema have all sent messages expressing their willingness to collaborate with you on the distribution and promotion of their films. However, Disney, Paramount, Sony, and DreamWorks have declined."

Ian raised an eyebrow: "Disney has deep pockets and its own media outlets, so it's not surprising they rejected me. Paramount is controlled by Viacom, and they compete with me for CBS, so it's not surprising they didn't cooperate. Sony refused because I wanted the Spider-Man rights, which is understandable. But why DreamWorks?"

Sunny replied, "They say your company doesn't employ any Jewish executives, and they've publicly stated they won't cooperate with you, even calling on others to boycott you and not accept you..."

She paused for a moment, and seeing that Ian didn't seem angry, she said, "We won't accept blackmail from extortionists!"

I don't only exclude Jews, but also Indians and some fanatical religious believers, and now I'm even excluding Koreans.

It's not that Indians are incompetent; Indian elites are quite capable. However, Indians have a problem: they're like cockroaches. When one person achieves enlightenment, it's not just their chickens and dogs that ascend to heaven, but even the cockroaches in their household that go down with them.

We cannot tolerate the bad habit of letting one elite person drag down a whole bunch of rubbish.

The Jewish issue isn't about the Middle East; Ian can't be considering that right now. It's about interests.

Jews in the United States have the most control over finance and media!

If Ian wants to expand in the media industry and continue to acquire other companies, he will inevitably run into the Jewish community... It can be said that Ian's biggest competitor in the future is the Jewish community.

Ian dislikes them both in terms of interests and values, so of course they can't be used.

The rest need no explanation.

What puzzled Ian was how Spielberg could be so sure of this.

I have never publicly said that I dislike Jews!

Ian frowned. "The Carl Group is still in its early stages, and we don't have many people yet. Maybe we just haven't found the right Jewish elites yet?"

Ida replied, "There's a guy named Bernadette who's been talking about this everywhere. He's a journalist, and he got some information from inside us that confirms you gave the order not to employ any Jews."

Fuck! It's that Times bastard who got fired himself!

Ian slammed his fist on the table in anger.

For a fleeting moment, Ian wanted to arrange for Kripps to immediately drown Bernadette.

However, his inner moral compass told him that things hadn't come to that.

Try not to use gangster tactics in business competition, that was Gaskell's advice to him... Ian usually listened to it, unless the news was really big!

The latest novel is first published here!

Bernadette is annoying, but not bad enough to warrant his death; Kreps can just break his legs.

Alas, I was too kind.

Ian sighed.

However, DreamWorks actually turned against them because of this...

As expected, my intimidation of Hollywood wasn't enough!

The biggest problem with the media is that journalists always have an element of luck when they get big scoops. Even if Ian McDormand broke several bombshell stories about Madonna, it doesn't mean he'll be able to break similar scoops in the future. Besides, I'll just be more careful next time.

Every corrupt official thinks they can escape the law!

Just like in Hollywood, some people are afraid because of this, while others still have a sense of wishful thinking.

As for Spielberg, although he is a great director, Ian, being a former Chinese, doesn't have much affection for him—he even boycotted the Beijing Olympics back then.

So Ian’s attitude toward these Jews was: I like your attitude.

After thinking for a moment, Ian opened the drawer and took out a thick stack of documents.

After flipping through the documents, Ian took out two files and handed them to Sunny: "Send these two out too."

Sunny took the documents and glanced at them, her expression changing slightly: "Francis O'Connor criticizes Adam as a tyrant? Haley Joel Osmond went overtime during filming?"

Francis O'Connor is the lead actress in DreamWorks' upcoming film "Artificial Intelligence," while Adam Smith is the owner of AMC Theatres.

Her attack on Adam as a tyrant at a private party will definitely affect AMC's scheduling of AI films.

Haley Joel Osment is a well-known child star in the United States, and the child protection laws in the United States are very strict (don't be envious, the more likely there are problems, the stricter the laws are. The United States is the country with the strictest child protection, but it is also one of the countries with the most child molestation problems. The less there is, the more it is emphasized). Filming overtime on set will definitely attract the intervention of child protection organizations, or even boycotts!

With these two news items released, DreamWorks' unreleased "Artificial Intelligence" is in big trouble!

She stared at her boss in horror.

Ian Carr, you are Hollywood's nightmare!

Ian glared at Sunny and said in a deep voice, "And another thing! Not employing Jews is a racial bias within the Carl Group's HR department, not Ian Carl's intention. You'd better make them understand that!"

A good HR professional is one who takes the blame for the boss. If you can't do that, what's the point of having you?

Sunny nodded: "You will always be a good friend of the Jews, boss."

Ian grinned: "Of course!"

After hanging up the phone, Ian looked out into the room.

He habitually activated his X-ray vision, looked outside, then his expression turned serious, and he called out, "Fuck!"

He rushed out of the office, went to a small office next door, and pushed open the door.

An editor, his hand on his crotch, stared at Ian in astonishment: "Boss!"

How did he get in?

Ian gave him a cold look, then turned and shouted, "Ron, fire Park Eun-joon immediately! That bastard never does anything right. He was masturbating during work hours! I've had enough of him! Also, try not to hire any more Koreans in the company. What are these guys good for? They're a bunch of disgusting trash!"

Editor-in-Chief Lloyd came over, glanced at it, and chuckled, "Does this need to be made into news?"

"No!" Ian shook his head. "Trash news, it's worthless!"
