Chapter 080 (1/2)
All of you here are smart people. What Mike medova can think of is naturally expected. Considering the impending public opinion storm, the atmosphere can't help being silent.
A moment later, Simon spoke again and said, ”you guys, there's no need to put too much pressure on me. What we have to do now is to try our best to solve the problem. As for the result, leave it to God. Well, pat, you have more experience in this field. You can say it first
As Simon spoke, the others relaxed a little.
Pat Kingsley rearranged her thinking and said, ”Simon, it's not suitable to respond to the New York Times article right away, but we must also participate immediately to avoid the one-sided public opinion situation.”
Simon thought a little, then nodded and said, ”that's it. Let's mix up the water first.”
The other three followed Simon's description of ”muddle up the water” with a clear expression. They could not help but feel that the metaphor was more appropriate.
The situation is clear.
Voices of doubt have emerged. Simon immediately responded, providing evidence to prove that ”Lola Run” was actually made by him. Under the control of intentional people, the result is bound to usher in more doubts. But if we don't respond, the one-sided query will only bring the situation to a collapse, and we can't explain it clearly at that time.
Well, the best way is for us to stand behind the scenes and respond to those queries indirectly through the media, turning the original pure query into a controversy, or even a big media discussion about whether ”Lola Run” was shot by Simon westrow or not. ”.
When the controversy lasts for a period of time and the topic cools down, Simon will personally provide a series of solid enough evidence, and the storm will pass smoothly.
Now that the strategy is finalized, the next thing will be much easier. After continuing the discussion for nearly an hour, the public came up with a preliminary plan to deal with it.
The rest is execution.
If it was before the release of ”Lola Run,” Simon might not be able to fight back in the media.
But at this time, due to the box office explosion of ”Lola Run” and the imminent release of ”Butterfly Effect”, wma, Orion film, and 20th century fox, backed by News Corporation, will bet enough public relations resources on him.
Moreover, even without the help of these aspects, pat Kingsley, the public relations manager Simon just hired, has no lack of media contacts.
This woman has been engaged in media PR since the 1960s. After the Reagan assassination, it was with the help of Pat Kingsley that Judy foster survived the difficult period of media bombardment and gradually resumed her acting career.
Now, with the joint efforts of several forces, even just as people were discussing the detailed response plan, several press releases trying to ”join in the fun” have been stopped.
So busy until noon, after lunch, people did not leave.
North American evening papers are usually published at 2 p.m., and information has been sent back from the east coast. Pat Kingsley and others are still busy analyzing and responding. Simon took time to take Amy Pascal to the railing on the cliff in the backyard.
Leaning on the railings, facing the afternoon breeze, I enjoy looking at the blue sea under the warm spring sun. A moment later, Amy Pascal opened her eyes, looked at the relaxed young man beside her, and said, ”Simon, several newspapers over there in New York have responded. It's obviously the same as we expected. Aren't you worried at all?”
The world has never been self-cleaning. Just as Michael Jackson could not get rid of his suspicion of pedophilia until he died, because he couldn't get rid of it.
Simon nodded and said, ”I'm really worried. However, what should be done should continue. So, Amy, what are you thinking about? ”
Amy recalled her contact with Simon in recent days. Instead of looking at the distant sea view, she leaned slightly to look at the young man beside her and said, ”seriously, Simon, I haven't thought about it yet. My intuition tells me that I should promise, because you are a guy who can create miracles. But my reason dissuades me. It's crazy to make such a decision. I need to give up the position I've been fighting for seven years and start all over again. ”
Simon smell speech, the same side body, seriously looked at Amy for a moment, suddenly stretched out a hand to her: ”come on.”
Amy didn't know why, but she couldn't help extending her right hand to meet her. Then she was held by a warm and powerful hand.
”Look, you've made a decision, haven't you?” Simon smiles, takes Amy's hand and makes a little effort. Then he releases it in Amy's surprised eyes and says, ”it's just a little psychological test. Since you have made a catering response, it shows that your heart has actually agreed.”
Amy looked at her slightly raised arm in bewilderment, and then looked at Simon again. Her eyes gradually brightened, and her face showed a smile. She said, ”Simon, do you really have such a psychological test?”Simon, who was watched by Amy for only one second, shrugged and said, ”well, I made it up.”
