Chapter 239 Quickly Solving the Case of Injustice
After finishing his crisis public relations in New York, Jade still attended the premiere of John Woo's "Bourne Shadow 2".While many journalists on the red carpet were still pressing questions about Gemini Home Entertainment or Mercury Productions, Jed had shut up about them.
Since the media has given me face and given me a chance to clarify when I am in the most difficult situation, I must of course ensure that the reports in their hands are exclusive.Sometimes the relationship with the media comes out in this way. News figures give the news media some small conveniences, so the news media doesn't mind pulling the news figures at critical moments.Especially since this is the premiere of "The Bourne Shadow 2", the protagonists should be John Woo and other protagonists.
After exchanging pleasantries with the reporters, the stars were naturally pulled aside by several major media outlets for exclusive interviews, film critics and audiences entered the venue one after another, while Jed and John Woo hid in the lounge to chat.Today's John Woo is not the later generations of John Woo who can't get along in Hollywood. As the most successful commercial director model in Hollywood by Chinese directors and even Asian directors, John Woo can make people's body temperature rise with a cough in the Asian film circle.
As the birthplace of director John Woo, the Hong Kong Film Association and the Hong Kong Society of Film Critics have given away all the honors they can give, and even John Woo has received an honorary doctorate from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Grand Bauhinia Medal awarded by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government .Some film organizations in mainland China and Taiwan also throw all kinds of medals and certificates of honor on Wu Yusen without money.A consortium that sponsored the Golden Horse Awards even said that if Director Wu Yusen could come over and be named as an honorary judge, then his sponsorship would be doubled directly.Of course, various film companies are begging director Wu Yusen to be a producer under the name of director Wu Yusen's home movies with countless money.But Woo Yusen has passed that stage, and now he cares more about his own reputation, so he declined the offer to be the producer.
Producer is actually a very special existence in the film and television industry. It stands to reason that in areas with a well-established film industry, producers and directors can already support a crew, and producer is completely redundant.However, both Hollywood and Hong Kong have the position of producer. Generally speaking, in the United States, most of the cases of producer are because the director is not qualified enough and has to ask his teacher to come out to control the scene; while in Hong Kong, it is because the producer is too unprofessional and has no choice. Having a producer to supervise the director spends money is a bridge of communication between the producer and the director.
"Mr. Sherman, in fact, I'm just helping you with a message. Hong Kong is planning to organize a forum for the exchange of filmmakers from the East and the West. It's going to be an annual summit dialogue in the industry. I hope you can save face and attend." Wu Yusen knew that there was actually a big official background behind this exchange forum.
As Taiwanese movies become more and more petty, Hong Kong movies are getting more and more declining, and mainland movies are temporarily unable to support the scene, so the influence of Chinese-language movies in the Asian movie circle is getting smaller and smaller.Japanese movies are entertaining themselves, Indian movies have gone out of India while entertaining themselves, and Korean movies are devoting all their efforts to build the No. Rising stars such as Thailand and Singapore compete for the Asian market one after another, making China have to consider its own status.
The Greater China region has a bigger box office than the U.S. market in the world, and no one hopes that in the future it will be dominated by English-language or Korean-language movies.Fortunately, Hong Kong still has a say in the Asian film industry, so a forum for the exchange of Eastern and Western filmmakers was created.When everyone was listing names, Jed Sherman's name actually appeared very high.After all, Jed has been very successful both as a film practitioner and as a film manager.Although some people say that most of Jed's successes are commercial films, when someone came up with Jed's "Shawshank's Redemption" and "Schindler's List", everyone shut up.
For this invitation, Jed had no particular emotion.Although he knew that it would be difficult for him to change, at least he still had a chance to win more quotas for his company. "No problem, as long as there is no conflict between my schedule and the forum, I will definitely attend." Jed agreed.
The release of "The Bourne 2" was very successful. Compared with the slightly dull first part, John Woo has been able to better grasp the rhythm of commercial films in the second part, so "The Bourne 2" has no A dull shot.The refreshing plot satisfied ordinary audiences very much, and the major philosophical proposition of the film's theme of "who am I" scratched the itch of film critics, so it was no surprise that it directly topped the weekend box office this weekend, and He held the throne for three consecutive weeks.
But Jed's mind is not on "Bourne Shadow 2", his goal is to solve Michael Jackson's child abuse case as soon as possible.In fact, the federal government does not want to focus on this case that must be lost. Judging from the information disclosed by the federal prosecutor, they will abandon the appeal as long as the court rules that they lose the case.
Even if an appeal is expected, it is just a show, but the federal prosecutor sent a message to Jed through a friend, "The federal judiciary is tired of this case, but there are too many factors other than the law interfering in this case. Under the pressure of public opinion, the federal judiciary may resort to some unseemly methods. If Mr. Sherman has other means, please use them as soon as possible without delay."
Of course, Jed understands the pressure of the federal prosecutors. If they only proceeded from the law and evidence, they should have announced the acquittal of Michael long ago.But the problem is that not only people on Jed's side are doing public relations in the whole case, but there are also people on the other side doing public relations.
Jed contacted John and said, "The father and son are our breakthrough. I don't believe they are as pure and flawless as the father and the son. Help me tell the truth, as long as the evidence of the father and son's deception can be found early, the video Proofs, audio recordings or texts are all fine, and I will offer millions of dollars directly. The more evidence like this, the better, and I don’t mind having more evidence to prove it.”
The reason why Jed didn't use this disgraceful method was that he hoped to give Michael a perfect verdict of innocence, but the other party had already made the federal judiciary a little overwhelmed, and if he dragged it on, he might kill Michael.And according to Michael's manager's report, Michael's recent mental pressure is very high.Fortunately, in this time and space, Jed is working hard in public relations, so most of Michael's friends have not abandoned him, and they will meet with him from time to time to comfort him.Even as Michael's best friend, Elizabeth Taylor, a Hollywood lady, moved directly into Neverland.Accompanied by this best friend, Michael has been immersed in Hollywood black and white films recently.But no one can guarantee how long such a good situation can last, so Jed decided to seek help from some dark forces with John.
Under the heavy reward, Jed quickly collected some evidence.He gave this evidence to a Russian mafia gangster and asked him to find someone to send it to the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Weekly, Los Angeles Daily News and other newspapers by tomorrow, as well as to television and radio stations. of reporters.But it was a local news station in Los Angeles, KCRW, that reported it first.In the news broadcast at [-] pm, the news anchor of KCRW was still very unbelievable, "KCRW received an anonymous post earlier, which involved evidence in a current hot case. After our discussions with the police and lawyers After communication, we decided to analyze the evidence in the following programs."
After KCRW aired the evidence, the local stations of the five major television networks in Los Angeles interrupted their regular programming and began broadcasting special programs.For a while, professional guests such as retired sheriffs, lawyers, and former prosecutors in Los Angeles were in short supply. After all, the evidence was so amazing.All the evidence points to a mysterious organization that has continuously created negative news for Michael and other celebrities or stars of color in the past ten years, including Michael's first child abuse case, which is inseparable from this organization.Although these stories sound too far-fetched, the evidence without exception proves that this organization and what they do are real.There are not only written proofs, but also audio and video materials.Of course, the police took away most of the information in the name of handling the case, but the media are not fools, so they naturally have backups.The police can now ask the media to be self-disciplined in order to cooperate with the investigation, but once the police do nothing, the media will have nothing to worry about breaking the news.After all, the lawyers' answers are very professional. These materials were sent to the media by anonymous persons, and the ownership belongs to the media.The media is not obliged to keep secrets for state organs, let alone the source of these things is not the police.
Since KCRW began reporting, those PR firms supporting the so-called plaintiffs have withdrawn their advertisements.Everyone knows that they have completely lost the case.Although Michael expressed his reluctance to countersued and slandered his child, both Michael's agent and Jed believed that the father must not be let go.Now the father not only has to face the federal prosecutor's "obstruction of justice" and "fraud" investigations, but also faces Michael's reputation claim of up to tens of millions of dollars.Although Jed knew that the father couldn't afford to pay the amount, Jed wanted to use this case to set a standard for Michael's reputation, so that no one would come to insult Michael in the future.If you want to be insulted in the future, first check if you have tens of millions of dollars in your pocket.After more than two months of trial, the federal court finally acquitted Michael.
"I'm very happy!" In the corridor blocked by reporters, Michael's voice was a little choked, "I know that many people think that I am a strange person, but I am really a clean person. I am very happy, everyone knows I am innocent."
Jed didn't let the reporter interview too much, and quickly asked the bodyguard to pick up Michael.Although Michael got rid of the trouble in the child abuse case, the American news circle has not been blackmailing him for a year or two. From his skin color to his living habits, Michael seems to have the four characters "news focus" written all over his body.In particular, the reporter mocked Michael's habit of only drinking a certain kind of beverage. In Jed's view, it was nothing to worry about. Didn't Madonna only drink one kind of mineral water?Many celebrities he knew also only drank a few kinds of drinks, and even this kind of thing could become Michael's crime. From this, we can know how boring the American press is!
