Chapter 67: Image Destroyed
"Crazy..."
With a crisp sound, a chair fell on the glass coffee table, which immediately turned into countless pieces. Even so, the owner of the room was still furious. Sean Connery lifted another chair and smashed the TV screen that was reporting about him into pieces.
"Fuc@k! Bastard!" He kept cursing.
On the other hand, his wife Miserina Roquebruni had long been hiding in the kitchen of the mansion to prevent domestic violence from falling on her head again. The man outside looked like a gentleman, but in fact there was no difference from the rude porter at the dock. Since the media began to hype Christopher Lee's experience, his irritable temper has further aggravated. Every time he drinks or takes drugs, he will use her as a punching bag for beating and scolding...
Perhaps God finally opened his sleeping eyes, and the photos he beat and scolded her and took drugs were circulated in the hands of the media. Since yesterday, media across the United States have been reporting on the most elegant old gentlemen's most uncivilized behavior.
"My image! My image was completely ruined by those bastards!"
In the living room, Sean Connery's roar rang again. He pulled the newspaper on the newspaper shelf and browsed it casually...
"Shaan Connery is addicted to alcohol and frequently commits domestic violence to his wife!"
"Tell you that the real Sean Connery, big, coca, alkali is a necessity in his life..."
"Shaan Connery beats his wife after taking drugs!"
If it were just a text report, Connery would not have made such a big fuss. Not only did the newspapers publish pictures, but there was even a recording of him assaulting his wife on TV.
"Dad, please calm down!"
His son rushed down from the upper floor to persuade him.
“Did you do this?”
Sean Connery, in a rage, stared at his son with a burning gaze. He knew that his son had prejudice against him and was closer to his wife. He had threatened several times that if he did not stop domestic violence, he would announce all this to the news media.
Now that his privacy has been learned by the media, his son is definitely the biggest target of doubt.
"Do you want me to die sooner and inherit the property!"
Seeing his son's indifferent expression looking at him, Sean Connery could no longer bear it. He picked up an ashtray on the ground and threw it over. The ashtray hit his son heavily, as if it had broken the last trace of connection.
"The famous Mr. Sean Connery! The most famous gentleman in the world!" That was a voice of resentment, "Is this your true face? How does it feel to be exposed? Although I don't know who did this, I still want to cheer for him!"
After saying that, he walked to the kitchen on the other side, helped his mother with a purple face and walked out, heading straight to the door of the mansion, and turned around and said, "See you at Monday's press conference!"
"Get out! Get out of here!" Sean Connery threw out another chair and slammed heavily on the door, making a loud bang.
The huge mansion was empty and the living room was covered with garbage fragments. Sean Connery felt that the whole world had betrayed him. Last week, he held him in the media in the cloud. Because of a recording of domestic violence and a few photos of drug abuse, he wanted to knead him into pieces and then step into the ground.
After a long time, Sean Connery calmed down a little. Looking at the mess all over the ground, his anger rose again. He took a few deep breaths and felt a little better. After walking to the phone and dialed Martin Bob, one of his agents.
"Martin, why didn't CAA get the news in advance?" He was so loud that he was like a lion.
According to media practice, if there is any scandal among big-name stars, even if they decide to publish it, they will notify the other party's agency in advance. However, there was no news about this incident beforehand. Then, the media led by NBC TV and Warner's tabloids all shook out.
"Don't you understand, Sean?" Martin Bob's voice was a little cold. "There was a powerful hand behind him, and some things that could not be done that could not be done, especially for members of the six major companies. If they did it, they would pay the price!"
"You broke the bottom line first!" Martin Bob was in a bad mood, and he said directly, "Shawn, don't show up for the time being..."
"I didn't do it! I swear! I didn't do it!" Sean Connery yelled loudly, "I'm going to call a press conference!"
"Shaun!" Martin Bob emphasized his tone, "If you show up, those reporters will tear you up, your gentlemanly image has been ruined, and you personally ruined the gentlemanly image that CAA has created for you for many years! This image is your greatest value! What else do you have to lose it? The key to you now is to be calm, and to control the people around you, and not let them speak to the media..."
After hanging up the phone, Martin Bob sat in the chair helplessly. Sean Connery was one of his best customers, and it would be hard to say in the future.
Although Sean Connery doubts his son and wife, no matter what the truth is, Martin Bob knows that the shadow of Warner Bros. Connery is an irritable impulsive person, and this has not changed with age. Since it first touched the red line of Hollywood studio giants, it is normal to pay the price.
Obviously, Martin Bob doesn't believe Sean Connery's defense, after all, the old man did too many trash when he was young.
Since the scandal broke yesterday, CAA has not had public relations efforts. Some media have also withdrawn the news about Connery. However, most media are still hyping it up. Things are very obvious. Not only Warner Bros. is borrowing Sean Connery to warn some people, I'm afraid that even Time Warner has used some resources.
CAA is very powerful and is Hollywood's largest entertainment agency, but its annual revenue is only more than 100 million US dollars. What should I do to compete with a super media group like Time Warner? In front of Warner Group, his many public relations actions this day are like a joke.
Oh, there are 20th Century Fox and Walt Disney, which are closely cooperating with them. Not only do these people have no plans to help, but their media are also hyping up the news about Sean Connery, these bastards who forget to be honest with each other...
Thinking of this, Martin Bob stopped. Isn’t CAA also a member of the ranks of bastards who have forgotten their interests?
The knock on the door suddenly rang out, and the door was pushed open. The person who dared to enter Martin Bob's office directly must be a CAA's A-level customer. The person who came opened the chair behind the desk and sat on it with his legs raised.
"Are you making things difficult for Connery?" asked Tom Cruise.
"Don't talk about him, Tom." Martin Bob temporarily threw Sean Connery behind his head, saying, "How is the late stage of "Night Visit Vampire"?"
"It can be completed in three days at most." Cruise is full of confidence. "Only the opening and endings are left to add. Twentieth Century Fox will hold a trial in five days."
"I will urge Twentieth Century Fox to invest in publicity and distribution."
Hearing Martin Bob's plain words, Tom Cruise frowned slightly dissatisfied, "Martin, since both CAA and Twentieth Century Fox decided that the film will be officially released on May 7, what about our opponents?"
He never forgot that the young director named Duke Rosenberg had rejected him in person.
"Tom, you have to understand that our competitor is Warner Bros.!" Martin Bob emphasized, "We can do whatever we can within the scope of the competition rules, and what goes against the bottom line..."
"I get it." Tom Cruise shrugged, "I'm not a fool like Sean Connery."
Martin Bob naturally knew the character of Tom Cruise. He said nothing except a few words of advice. Since Warner Bros. chose to promote the Sean Connery scandal at this time, it was both a revenge and a warning to competitors. Methods outside the rules would inevitably lead to their counterattack. Even Twentieth Century Fox and the News Group behind it would not easily start vicious competition with Warner Bros. and Time Warner.
"Don't we think of some solutions on publicity?" Tom Cruise thought for a while and asked again.
"Don't move for the time being." Martin Bob picked up the phone next to him and said while dialing the number. "When the preview of "Battle of the Deadly Island" comes out, we will develop targeted strategies."
He called Twentieth Century Fox and chatted with CEO Townsend Rossman to urge the other party to invest more resources in "Night Visit to Vampire".
On the other side of Century City, Townsend Rossman put down the phone and looked at his deputy sitting opposite his desk.
"The preview of "Night Visit to Vampire" is held as soon as possible. Also, inviting theaters, film critics and media reporters according to the standards of Class A films!"
"Yes!" the deputy wrote his words in his notepad and looked up and asked, "What about the Sean Connery incident? CAA's Michael Orwitz called Fox three times to help them, at least not participate in the hype coverage. Are we going to stop?"
"Why stop?" Townsend Rossman stared at his deputy. "We have a cooperation with CAA, but that's limited to "Night Visit Vampire". What does Sean Connery's life and death have to do with us? That's the interests of CAA, not the interests of 20th Century Fox!"
"Our new project "The Rising Sun"," the deputy reminded carefully, "Connelly is the first hero."
"Switch him, do you think his current image is still suitable for the male lead?" Townsend Rossman did not hesitate at all. Seeing that his deputy wanted to speak, his voice gradually changed. "Twentieth Century Fox will cooperate with CAA, but that is limited to some projects. We are not puppets under the CAA packaging system, and we will not hand over most of the projects in our hands to those vampires to operate!"
"Notify Fox TV..." he continued, "Now Sean Connery's ugly news is a hot topic of public attention. You can drive the broadcast car directly to his mansion... Well, isn't he a divorced ex-wife due to domestic violence? You can invite her to the talk show on Fox TV. Don't care about anything else, I just need to maximize Fox's interests!"
"besides!"
Just as the deputy wanted to leave, Townsend Rossman said, "That Christopher Lee is good. "The Rising Sun" can send him an invitation to audition."
