Chapter 503 The Real Wolf of Wall Street
As soon as we arrived at Twentieth Century Fox, Cara Fais and Bill Rossis came here.
"You said good news on the phone when you came here." Murphy first picked up a glass of water for Gal Gadot, then sat next to her and asked, "What good news?"
"Of course it's good news that can stimulate the box office of the movie, the real version of "Wolf of Wall Street"." Cara Fais waved his head at Bill Rossis, "Bill, you'd better tell me."
Bill Rossis didn't shirke his responsibility and said directly, "The New York Post just got a scoop today. An investment bank executive on Wall Street who earns nearly 10 million US dollars a year forced his wife to play breathing games with the other party in order to win over customers."
"There are really people like this." Gal Gadot was a little surprised.
Murphy did not speak, but frowned and thought.
"It's not just someone like this." Kara Fis shook his head. "They have two children and they look like a very happy couple."
Gal Gadot could only sigh, "Reality is more exaggerated than movies."
"The news has not been published yet, right?" Murphy asked suddenly.
"No." Kara Fesla sat down in a chair and said, "A deputy editor-in-chief of the New York Post had some friendship with me. After she got the news, she thought it might be helpful to the film project I was responsible for, so she called me immediately."
Murphy nodded and asked, "Is the source reliable?"
Kara Fis shrugged, and the expression on his face became very exciting. "The person who broke the news to them was the wife of the investment bank executive."
This is really a reality that is more exaggerated than movies, and Murphy can only think so.
"The real-life version of Wall Street Wolf is indeed a good topic for hype." He certainly understood what Carla Fais and Bill Roses mean, "it could attract more people to watch our movies."
Speaking of this, Murphy stood up and walked a few steps, asking, "Can we collect information on this, led by the New York Post and Fox media to conduct one or several special reports on Wall Street?"
"I think it's OK." Bill Roses agreed.
Kara Fis nodded, "It should be OK, this is not difficult, but it is best not to involve those real big names, otherwise there will be trouble."
"Well." Murphy agreed with Carla Fies' statement, which is to create momentum for the film's hype, rather than create a fuse for the war. "Find more people like the executives of small investment banks you mentioned."
"Look for a few more?" Carafes raised his eyebrows, "Murphy, you're so greedy."
"Don't you think so?" Murphy laughed, "Greed is an original sin, and even more a virtue."
Carla Fes turned his head slightly, "Didn't you criticize greed in the video?"
Murphy spread his hands and said innocently, "That's just the film critic's own opinion. When did I say I'm going to criticize greed?"
Investors on Wall Street are indeed greedy guys, but greed, as an eternal virtue, is rooted in the hearts of everyone in the United States and even the world.
On the topic of greed, it is impossible to blame the specific historical period, civilization stage, or even some people at some time in the past. This is the most basic feature of survival. The world changes drastically in this era. Human beings seem to be omnipotent. Unfortunately, human beings themselves do not evolve much.
This kind of thing needs to be leveraged by the power of 20th Century Fox, not something that Carla Fest alone can make decisions, and it will take some time to brew.
Monday passed quickly, and the first working day of "Wolf of Wall Street" fell 70% compared to Sunday, earning $6.2 million in a single day. Although this is not a cliff-jumping plunge in the fall from holiday to weekdays, the decline is still relatively large compared to Murphy's past videos.
However, these are within the psychological expectations of Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox. After all, the previous "Investigation Gate" greatly mobilized the emotions of audiences in the entire North American, thus driving the film's first weekend box office. When this enthusiasm is vented, the number of viewers will definitely drop sharply, and the direct reaction to the box office is a relatively large drop.
The theme of the video is here, and this is not a typical business type with an extremely wide audience.
Murphy knew very well that if the film was to maintain a steady trend, there must be a stimulation of new topics, and the Wall Street scandal was undoubtedly a very suitable type.
Cara Fais quickly received support from Twentieth Century Fox, and no commercial company would reject the temptation of profits that could be seen.
Besides, they will not provoke those big names, and their target is only executives from small investment banks.
The New York Post fired the first shot in this publicity hype.
"Wall Street executives interpreted the real version of the Wolf of Wall Street, and forced their wives to play with each other in a *** game. Strictly speaking, the New York Post is not a mainstream newspaper, but such gossip can only stay on a less important page. However, this time, the New York Post directly placed it on the front page headlines and also accompanied it with a photo provided by the whistleblower.
The photo shows the four of the whistleblower. She was holding her little daughter, and the husband she accused of carrying her eldest daughter, and she looked very happy.
This happy family photo is in sharp contrast to the content of the report.
"An investment bank executive with an annual salary of $7 million is tall and handsome, with a perfect family, and looks glamorous. Now his wife is exposed as a 'Wolf of Wall Street'! In order to win over important customers, this Wall Street executive not only forces his wife and each other to suck drugs such as Keka."
"Sachy Kelly, 42, is head of the health care business of Jefferies Investment Bank, is currently in a divorce lawsuit. According to court documents obtained by media, his wife Christina accused her of having forced her to play and suck her with Mark Bill, a pharmaceutical company owner, and her girlfriend."
"Mark Bill is an important client of Jefferies Investment Bank and is related to Sachy Kelly's career."
"Sometimes, Christina told our reporter the specific story: that night, the six of us were drunk in the bar at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston. In addition to Sach and I, Mark Bill and his girlfriend, there were also Ketch, senior vice president of Hengke Bank, and Bill's eldest son. In addition to Bill's eldest son, all five of us sucked Kek. In. Then Ketch opened a luxurious room, and Bill's girlfriend danced a striptease in the room."
"Christina recalled that Mark Bill had been harassing her at the time, and she tried to ask her husband for help, but Kelly asked her to let go, and the four of them finally played the ** and ** games together."
"I know very well that Kelly's purpose is for his own work, because Bill is a potential important client of his. If he can't handle Bill, he might have to lose his job. So I became a victim, Christina said angrily."
"According to Christina, this is not the only time. She couldn't stand this ridiculous life and decided to sue the divorce in the court. What's more shocking is that in the indictment, Christina also listed a bunch of Wall Street senior names who had used drugs with her and her husband, and Ben Lorero, the owner of Kelly's investment bank, was among them..."
As soon as this report was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention. In this era of weak traditional newspapers, the New York Post had a rare out-of-stock outage.
This situation is closely related to the widespread attention caused by "Wolf of Wall Street".
In turn, this report aroused more people's interest in the secrets of Wall Street, and thus went to the theater to watch "Wolf of Wall Street".
The most direct result was that the single-day box office of "Wolf Street" on Tuesday soared by 20% compared to Monday, earning $7.7 million that day.
But this is not over yet, the attention will continue for a while, and the promotional hype about Wall Street that has triggered will not stop.
Subsequently, accusations against Wall Street executives on Facebook were widely reprinted.
A waitress named Laura Ramadi accused a hedge fund manager Brian Lederman of often touching his butt when eating. The response made on Facebook not only did not deny it, but also claimed that he had sneaked the butts of thousands of girls because doing so would give him pleasure and give him more passion to work.
Immediately afterwards, a famous blogger posted an anonymous Goldman Sachs employee’s promotion advice on interns on his blog, which once again attracted everyone’s attention.
There are many advice mentioned in the blog post, and there are many items full of gender discrimination and conceit: go to bed with interns and show off the matter to your colleagues to gain respect; never make racial jokes, you just need to repeat the racial jokes made by other interns and tell who you have heard from...
These were also reprinted by traditional paper media. Many unknown sides of Wall Street gradually appeared in front of the public through media reports, which not only made people want to see more secrets of Wall Street, but also further stimulated the public's increasingly dissatisfied with Wall Street after the subprime mortgage crisis.
Although these gossip news can only one-sidedly spy on Wall Street, there are many gossip and negative news on Wall Street. Where there is money, right and wrong cannot be separated from right and wrong. What's more, Wall Street, the global financial center, has the desires, farces, and human weaknesses arising from money.
More people flocked to the theater, and "Wolf of Wall Street" became the most direct beneficiary. The deception methods of Wall Street economy people shown in the film have been further spread over time. Many people who suffered heavy losses or even went bankrupt due to the subprime mortgage crisis began to attribute their miserable situation to Wall Street's deception.
