"Your Royal Highness, thank you very much for your help. I hope William will be happy because he broke the world record." Ronald had secretly asked Princess Diana to contact the publisher of Guinness World Records, the Guinness Company.

It just so happened that Guinness wanted to strengthen its relationship with the royal family, and things went smoothly.

In addition to the world record that Ronald asked them to update, they also gave Diana's eldest son William a record - "the most popular royal baby in the world".

"Ha, William is very happy. When I went to Wetherby to see him, he felt very proud. Besides, you can just call me Diana, or Dai. It really feels strange to be called Your Highness by friends."

Diana was very happy. Every time she went to Wetherby School to see her sons, she always had to compete with their father for the children's love. Prince Charles would take his sons to ride horses, while Diana had to use other methods.

Maintain a close relationship with your son.

There is nothing that her husband cannot give her. She can only do things for her children that normal parents would do to win their love. For example, she was the first princess to participate in the parents' sports meeting of her son's school. Last year she won a

The mother came first in the race and came in second this year. The children are all proud of having such a mother.

But there were too few such things, so Ronald contacted the Guinness World Records Company and gave his eldest son his own exclusive world record, which helped her win a high score in the war. But the younger son Harry wanted to

Feeling jealous...think of a way to make it up to him next year.

"Well, I'll ask you to wear it..."

Princess Diana was very happy chatting on the phone. She likes to communicate with these successful people who work hard on their own, and doesn't like those who rely only on their ancestors... She also asked Ronald about the release time of Ronald's new movie, what new works he has, etc.

Ronald put down the phone after promising to go to London premieres of "Steel Magnolias" and "When Harry Met Sally" and inviting the princess's family to attend.

"It's done, let them send the materials to Fleet Street in London." Ronald signaled the media consultant to launch an attack on Ovitz.

Soon, many serious newspapers in London, as well as more gossip tabloids, obtained news materials about Michael Ovitz, the founder of a Hollywood agency called CAA.

The reason why it was transferred through London was that Ovitz's power in the American entertainment and media circles was too great for such a report to be published.

CAA's revenue last year exceeded 60 million. With several blockbuster movies this year, it will be even more. In addition, plus the high consulting fees that Sony must pay to him, Ovitz's wealth is expected to grow by more than 100 million.

100 million.

Ordinarily, this amount of money is not top-notch compared to the rich in Hollywood, but CAA can also control various film and television dramas and related advertising companies, and the marketing budget invested in the media. It has a great influence on the media.

Considerable.

This makes the tabloids in America, who want to write some gossip about Ovitz and sensationalize it, have to consider whether they can still receive advertisements.

Serious major newspapers, on the other hand, are subject to the principle of fact. Before publishing such a report about someone who has great influence in the media, they must verify the facts with him or other insiders, which is almost impossible to do.

When Ronald's materials were anonymously released to the domestic media, no one they contacted was willing to be interviewed.

After a round of testing, Ronald was surprised to find that none of the media in America had published any exclusive interviews or in-depth reports about him.

Executives at major studios declined to comment. And independent producers, such as Ray Stark, Ronald's collaborator in "Steel Magnolias," were even more frank with those who wanted to interview him.

The New York media said that they had to get approval from CAA before they could be interviewed about Ovitz.

I don’t know if it’s because Ovitz himself is good at using negative news about celebrities to blackmail them to achieve his own goals, so he himself controls the publication of his own gossip in the newspapers very strictly.

However, just like the so-called "power" obtained by using the power to blackmail customers or bullying the top executives of major studios with large investment projects, Ovitz's control of the news media is to a large extent.

Borrowing other people's money and power.

There is not only one place in the world where you can have a free press.

…

"There is some news that interests you in London today, Mr. Rupert." In the office of Rupert, the big boss of Twentieth Century Fox, his secretary held up two copies of London controlled by his News Corporation.

The newspaper's special report was delivered to him.

One is from The Times, and the relevant feature is "The most powerful people in Hollywood..." The report used a question and answer to challenge the audience, asking them to guess who is the most feared person in Hollywood on the other side of the ocean.

After denying the answers of producers, studios, directors, stars, etc., they gave their own answer, which was the boss of CAA Agency, Michael Ovitz.

"Ovitz's power is realized through his control of Hollywood's scarcest resource - stars. He exploits studios through packaging fees and obtaining high salaries for his stars.

Late last year, his company dominated the Academy Awards, with Rain Man beating out most of its competitors and bringing glory to CAA's clients."

"Ahem, this is a bit exaggerated..." Rupert cleared his throat, a little unhappy. This report elevated the boss of a brokerage company to a high position that he should not have.

"The four CAA package-service films released before the end of last year, 'Rain Man,' 'Twins,' 'Pornographic' and 'Mississippi Burning,' have grossed a combined box office of nearly $380 million, and because of Ovie

Thanks to special contracts with these studios, they take most of the profits.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The package contract allows them to take away 5% of the studio’s total pre-tax income from box office, video tapes, and TV broadcasts. This is like a

A share of taxes paid to CAA, no matter how your costs change, CAA takes 5% first before everyone else.”

"Ahem... Bah..." Rupert spat. He immediately called his secretary and called the group's CFO to confirm that Ovitz's arrogant share-sharing terms were true. Many times, 20th Century Fox needs CAA

Help can only cover these costs.

For several movies co-produced with other independent producers, such as Ronald, Spielberg, Joel Silver, etc., Fox will enjoy much better conditions in terms of the proportion and order of sharing.

More fair.

The risks for publishers are high, and they should also enjoy better conditions. Instead of taking away 5% of the most risk-free piece of cheese like Ovitz did.

"Hmph..." Rupert muttered with dissatisfaction. This report had to be published by The Times. He picked up another copy of the Sun. Under the girl on page three, a huge headline appeared.

The majestic photo of the girl is held just below.

"New Guinness World Records, the person who owns the most copyrights for his own photos in the world..."

"Hey, interesting." Rupert coughed twice more, and he guessed the thoughts of the person who provided the news material, "Interesting young man."

…

Ronald was in the apartment, waiting for the news to come out in London. His big words had come out, but Ovitz was not someone he could manipulate casually, otherwise he would not be what he is now.

Jewish friends from all walks of life called him again. Ovitz now changed his tone, saying that he used a large number of non-Jewish actors in the movie "Dirty Dancing", which reflects the important life of Jews, which is a kind of criticism of Jews.

Traditional blasphemy.

Moreover, the heroine baby falls in love with an Irish low-class gigolo. This kind of male-female pairing makes young people cheer, but makes the elderly feel dissatisfied.

Gradually, there began to be more ill intentions towards Ronald, including some actors who were not chosen for roles by him and began to join the team of spreading rumors.

The most enthusiastic person here is Sarah Jessica Parker, who lost to Jennifer Gray and did not win the role of Baby. She said that her failure was because her nose was too "Jewish", and

Lost to Gray whose Jewish nose was not that obvious.

This sounds much more credible than Ronald's rejection. Gradually, some project partners in the circle also vaguely expressed their intention to suspend cooperation with Ronald.

Although it is not obviously anti-Semitic, such discrimination against the typical appearance of Jews makes the Jews in the circle feel worse. Everyone wants to get better roles.

Many Jewish actors refuse to admit it, and they know in their hearts that the appearance of their ethnic group is indeed not good-looking. If a director like Ronald becomes powerful, the opportunities will shrink sharply. It would be better if a Jew like Ovitz takes power.

Take more care of the Jews.

"Wardey, I'm making a commercial film, not a Jewish documentary. What I want is handsome men and beautiful women. Do you understand handsome men and beautiful women? They are not willing to use Jewish beauties like Claudia Wells.

.”

Ronald was furious after listening to Richard's report. He made movies to seek money and awards, not to please the Jews. A woman with an ugly face like Sarah Jessica Parker, if it weren't for her

He is an orthodox Jew and cannot even pass as an extra.

I don’t know who came up with this trick. Such half-truths and half-false rumors are much more effective than sensational rumors.

No one believes that Ronald is anti-Semitic. But to say that Ronald doesn’t like using Jewish actors is not wrong at first glance. Compared with the film projects packaged by CAA, the number of Jewish actors in his films is

The ratio of actors is much lower.

However, that ratio should be the ratio that the entertainment industry should have! Compared with the proportion of Jews in the total population of America, the number of Jews in the entertainment industry is really abnormal, even if you add the Jews

Racial talent is also impossible.

But the Jews didn't think so. They only saw that their opportunities were greatly reduced under Ronald's rule.

"If you were more good-looking, you wouldn't be like this..." To put it bluntly, movies are also a commodity. What's the big difference between them and chewing gum or Coca-Cola? Ronald felt that he was really wronged because the audience loves to see beautiful women.

But your ethnic group just doesn’t have it.

For so many years, the most beautiful and most accepted female star by the audience is actually Barbra Streisand... And Claudia Wells, who is most suitable for the big screen in Back to the Future, has been deprived of her Jewish identity by you

...and ended up working for me as the distribution manager.

"Hello..." Richard answered the call. After listening to a few sentences, he turned to Ronald seriously, "It's Rupert from Fox and News Corporation..."

"Hello, Mr. Rupert, this is Ronald." Ronald signaled everyone to be quiet, took a deep breath, and picked up the receiver.

"Ronald, did you do this?" Rupert said straight to the point on the other end of the phone.

"What are you referring to?"

"Hey, it's you indeed. The materials you prepared are very good. I just discovered that in the past two years, he has eaten up too much profits from the film and television departments. I will support your strategy, so you can go ahead with it.

When you publish Ovitz's Guinness World Records in the newspaper, the serious media in New York will also be interested..." Rupert smiled and reassured Ronald, asking him to help him expose Ovitz, the biggest black hand in Hollywood.

.

"Can you ensure follow-up coverage by serious media?" Ronald was overjoyed. With Rupert's help, it was an added layer of insurance.

"You have my promise, kid." Rupert said and hung up the phone.
