Chapter 759： The requirements of the Pentagon
As the most famous city in Illinois, Chicago can surpass the capital Springfield in almost every aspect. It is not only the famous heavy industry center in North America, but also the famous media capital of the United States except New York and Burbank. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable)
A TV station directly affiliated to cbs is located in Chicago, and the most famous program of this TV station is "Albert and Rope and Movies".
At this time, the person in charge of the TV station and the producer of the show are negotiating with Roger Albert's agent.
"Optimus Prime, Megatron..."
Their assistants sent gift boxes mailed from all over the United States to Roger Albert’s agent, "Bumblebee, Ironhide, ambulance, Starscream..."
The producer looked at the pile of Transformers toys, his eyes almost staring out, "There are jacks, flying over mountains, shock waves and other Transformers that did not appear in the film. I can open a Transformers toy exhibition hall here. Up."
"Lloyd..." He looked at Roger Albert's agent and said very seriously, "Do you know what the most mailed items in the United States are after these toys?"
I caught a bumblebee casually, with a striking note pasted on the yellow toy, and the producer said aloud, "For the great Roger Albert, please do it before he ridicules a movie next time. The name and origin of the character!"
"This is only a part." He said loudly, "We have received more than 300,000 protest letters like this, and more than this are protest calls and emails!"
"Hey, Cork," the agent said. "Calm down, we haven't received large-scale protest letters in the past."
"If there is only a letter of protest, we would have a big deal to issue a statement." The producer pointed to the door of the TV station and said, "Since "Transformers" was released in North America. At least 5,000 people outside are holding movie posters in protest every day. , Do you know what they protested?"
"Those rich ladies from the Upper East Side of New York and their supporters. (Baidu search updates are the fastest and most stable
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he gave the answer himself. "They asked your customers to ask Roger Albert to fulfill his betting contract. They asked him to withdraw from the critics."
"Roger never promised that gambling agreement." The agent said quickly.
"Now the mainstream media are hyping this topic." The producer's eyes flashed, "The cbs side has been under tremendous pressure, and the main station even asked us to cut down the program "Ebert and Rope and the Movie"."
"You can't do this." The agent frowned. "We have a contract!"
"We are also trying our best." The person in charge of the TV station who has not spoken suddenly said, "However, the main station limits the funding of this program, and the contract between us must be revised."
"It's impossible." The agent slowly tasted something and flatly refused. "Before this contract is fulfilled. Mr. Roger Albert will not change any of the letters above."
"No change? Then only cut it off."
The person in charge of the TV station frowned, "The cbs also does not lack programs that the audience cannot guarantee even 500,000."
"Wake up, Lloyd."
The producer of the TV station loudly reminded, “This is not the last century. Roger Albert’s influence has declined severely since 2003. Now the program’s ratings are less than a quarter of 2003. By the time, how many people in the United States are really affected by his film reviews? One hundred thousand? I am afraid that this number is also an overestimate."
"And without cbs, what is left for Roger Albert?" the head of the TV station said in a mocking tone, "Yahoo and Google couldn't search for his online column, and the Chicago Tribune rejected him The proposal to return. More than 50 media in the United States have cancelled their reprinting agreements with you, and all major Hollywood studios and hairdressing brands have cancelled their cooperation with you. These are not secrets. If you don’t have cbs, it won’t take a few years. , How many people will remember the name Roger Albert?"
"Or..." The sarcasm on his face became more and more obvious. In the past, cbs was led away by the other party. Now the situation has been completely reversed. If it wasn't for the film critic who had some hype value, he would have directly treated this show. Cut it off, "Do you think ABC TV will invite Roger Albert as the guest speaker at the Oscars as it did five years ago? Don’t forget. The current owner of ABC TV is Ryan Jenkins!"
"Lloyd, go back and tell Roger Albert." The producer reminded again. "This is not the age of film critics, let him wake up from the glory of the past. If this self-centered attack method continues, the ratings of "Albert and Rope and the Movie" will continue to be fast. Decline."
He threw an agreement to the agent, "This is a new agreement draft, you can take it back."
Seeing that there was only one-fifth of the original income figures, the agent had the urge to smash the agreement on the opponent’s face, but he still forcibly resisted it. Roger Albert was his biggest benefactor. Now that he has lost private public relations income from Hollywood, online columns are in trouble, and traditional media are indifferent. If even cbs shows are cut off, how much is Roger Albert's worth?
Holding the agreement, the agent left the TV station directly under cbs by car, but when the car passed the door of the cbs TV station, he couldn't help looking out the car window again.
Thousands of Transformers fans are gathering in front of the TV station, holding up posters of Optimus Prime and Roger Albert in their hands, chanting various slogans of sarcasm and protest.
Who is the one being ridiculed? He doesn't need to listen carefully to know that it must be his gold master.
He even saw several posters held high by young girls. It was not Megatron who was beaten up by Optimus Prime, but Roger Albert.
The agent slowly closed his eyes. The industry of professional film critics has been squeezed from one of the central points of the film industry to the most marginal position. The person in charge has been constantly mocking the hot market in recent years. The film has attracted more and more protests, and its influence has rapidly declined...
Especially this time, he disregarded his advice and published that comment on "Transformers", which directly led to an even more embarrassing situation today.
With a light sigh, the agent understood that the world has changed a long time ago, and the Hollywood film industry has also changed.
In fact, he knows very well that since Ryan Jenkins led Hollywood film companies to cancel some public relations sponsorships for film critics, Roger Albert has made comments on the other party’s commercial productions, but he has not attracted the other party too much. A fierce counterattack.
As a result, even he had to admit that professional film critics were marginalized, and those criticized remarks did not affect too many audiences at all.
Secondly, with Ryan Jenkins' current status and status, as long as the criticism is maintained on the content of the movie, I must not bother to pay attention to such small characters as Roger Albert.
But this time is different. Roger Albert directly called on the audience not to watch "Transformers". This has touched the interests of Ryan Jenkins and even the entire interest group he represents.
It's actually expected that such an evil result will be brought, isn't it?
Slowly opening his eyes, the agent named Lloyd looked at the draft agreement in his hand and suddenly moved his mind.
It is time for me to leave the circle of film critics. Roger Albert has become a public enemy of Hasbro and Walt Disney.
With his own qualifications, he can join any brokerage company in Hollywood.
Yes, just do it, let these film critics who are getting less and less attention go to hell!
On the way back, this agent named Lloyd made the decision to abandon his current customer.
Perhaps this was the result of Ryan’s push behind the scenes, but he didn’t know, even if he knew it, he wouldn’t take it to heart. He spent most of his free time in April with Michael Bay, the Pentagon, and Joss. In terms of Weiden and Marvel, they continue to discuss the two scripts of "Transformers 2" and "Avengers" through meetings and emails.
For the latter, Jos Weiden and the screenwriter of Surprise have a general idea for a long time, and now they are more about measuring the roles of several superheroes.
"Transformers 2" is a lot more troublesome. The Pentagon has put forward a lot of suggestions. They are a little dissatisfied that the first Chinese and American troops did not kill any Decepticons alone. They want the crew to add more in the second. Regarding the shots of the US military, especially the final battle, I hope that the US military can resist the crazy attack of the Decepticons by sea, land and air joint operations Even, their proposal is still in the theoretical and laboratory stage. The railgun, killing an important member of the Decepticons, in order to demonstrate the advanced and powerful weapons of the US military in the future.
As the largest sponsor of the film, the Pentagon’s proposal must be considered. Ryan and Michael Bay also came up with some compromises after discussions.
For example, after Starscream fled back to Cybertron, with the support of King Kong, a new batch of Decepticon members was cultivated. However, these Decepticons lack sufficient energy support and are bound to be much weaker, and they are single. The styling can not only save the cost of cgi production of the crew, but also be handed over to the US military to torture...
As for those Decepticon members who have names in toys, comics, and cartoons, let's continue to hand them over to Optimus Prime.
There is also the issue of the railgun. Ryan and Michael Bay are also communicating with the screenwriters, trying to find a way that the producer and the Pentagon can reach a consensus.
In short, the film will inevitably show the bravery and powerfulness of the US military, but there must never be a plot where a small group of US troops can kill the Decepticons. (To be continued) R466
