If he wants to seize the film and television adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" from Warner, Chen Feng obviously doesn't have enough chips at the moment. Fortunately, he had the foresight to hack into Bill Hawke's computer and
Cell phone, I believe he should have what he needs there.
As early as when it was determined that Bill Hawke was collaborating with Warner and Paramount to frame him, he hacked into his private mailbox online. However, in addition to some work plans and personal daily photos in the old guy's private mailbox, Bill Hawke
, there is nothing else.
At the same time, Chen Feng also hacked into his personal mobile phone. If the old guy like Bill Hawke was using an old mobile phone, Chen Feng really couldn't hack into it, but he was following the trend and used the iPhone, which is now selling astonishingly.
For Chen Feng, who is proficient in computer skills, it is not too difficult to hack in. After all, the iPhone originally ran based on the iOS system, which is the same as the operating principle of a computer. However, in terms of protection, this generation launched the so-called mobile phone smart phone.
Needless to say, the system was perfect. Chen Feng hacked into his phone without much effort and implanted a call recording software in his phone. As long as his phone was on a call, it would record, and then record these calls.
The recording is automatically sent to an anonymous mailbox left by Chen Feng.
Chen Feng logged into this anonymous mailbox through multiple proxies. There were already 86 unread letters in it. Except for a few spam emails, they were all emails with time numbers as titles. Each email contained a recording file.
As an attachment, I sent it together.
Chen Feng used the email receiving client to receive all these emails, and opened the recording files one by one. There was no useful discovery for him at the beginning, but what is interesting is that this old guy has an old heart. Not only does he have a wife at home,
He also has an old lover outside. In addition, he also has affairs with several women, which can be heard from his phone recordings.
This is very Hollywood. Although Chen Feng was a little surprised by this, he didn't make a fuss. You must know that this old guy is still a big director no matter what. Even if the market has not been good in the past few years, there are still a lot of women who want to become famous.
Fuck him. Faced with sugar-coated bombs and all kinds of beautiful temptations, as long as it is a normal man, it will be really difficult to resist after a long time.
Chen Feng asked himself, if he were in a position like Bill Hawke's, it would be difficult to resist him over time. Therefore, the best way is not to give other women the opportunity to have contact with you, and not to participate in social activities frequently.
If you can be a homebody with peace of mind, it is basically impossible for cheating to happen. Even if it does happen, it is mental, but if you have a cheating heart but not the courage, it can be considered excusable.
After listening to nearly fifty recording files, Chen Feng finally found what he wanted, which was the recording of the call between Bill Hawke and Martin Erich at noon today.
After listening to their recording, Chen Feng finally understood why Martin took the initiative to call him to seek reconciliation. It turned out that he was worried about Chen Feng's current domestic influence and Datang's restrictions on the import of Warner's film and television dramas. To be honest, Chen Feng had previously
I really never thought of using this method to retaliate against them.
After all, he was the mastermind behind Warner's sex scandal and Paramount's tax evasion scandal. He had already severely retaliated against them. Therefore, there was no further revenge.
But Warner and Paramount don't know that the person who tricked them this time is Chen Feng. Although they have been investigating secretly, it is impossible for a world-class hacker like Chen Feng to leave anything online.
The clues came. It was basically impossible for them to find the final murderer.
Now that Chen Feng has obtained this call recording, it is basically confirmed that Bill Hawke and Warner President Martin Erich set up a conspiracy to trap Chen Feng. If it is released, it will be a fatal blow to the two of them.
Everyone's reputation will be ruined, and Martin Erich, the president of Warner Entertainment, will definitely resign sadly.
This recording file is a very important bargaining chip for Chen Feng. Chen Feng believes that with this trump card, the film and television adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" will almost be obtained.
Chen Feng suppressed his excitement and continued to listen to the remaining recording files. As a result, he discovered something else in the remaining penultimate ones. It was still a call between Bill Hawke and Martin Erich.
This time it was Martin Erich who took the initiative to make the call to Bill Hawke.
"I talked to that Oriental guy on the phone." Martin Erich spoke first.
"What did he say? Is he willing to reconcile with us?"
"It's not confirmed yet. However, I believe he will agree. If he really offends us, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Hollywood."
"This is best. If we really fall out with him, we will both lose in the end and it will be no good to anyone."
"I made a big sacrifice this time. I allowed him to participate in the production of a big project that Warner is about to launch. I am very sure that this big project will make a profit without losing any money."
"Oh, there is nothing we can do about this."
"Yes. We have suffered heavy losses this time. If we hadn't just caught up, I really don't want to give in to this Oriental guy. I suspect that the reason why he saw through our layout was leaked from your side. You
Think about it carefully, did you notice anything strange when you came into contact with him?"
Bill Hawke was silent for a while, probably thinking about the process of contacting Chen Feng, and then said: "Listening to what you said, I remembered that when I first went to his company to meet him,
He was quite enthusiastic towards me at first, but then he became rude to me for some reason. I was so angry that I just walked away, but I thought about our big plan and tolerated it. Now that I think about it,
He may have noticed something wrong with this project. Later, he probably asked professionals in the film industry to analyze the project in detail and determined that the project was a big trap. For example, Marcia, who is currently making movies for his company, heard that she
My daughter now lives in this Dongfang man’s house, and the relationship between the two parties is very close now.”
"Marcia? This guy is really lucky, he actually called her. Marcia is very popular in Hollywood, and she has a high status. Everyone gives her a face. With her support, this Oriental guy has a good reputation in Hollywood.
The position here is much more stable.”
"Yes. Marcia has a very high status in Hollywood and a lot of influence. Now the media is reporting everywhere about her filming a movie for Beauty Beauty Company. This is three years after she retired from the film industry.
Fans are very concerned about his comeback." Bill Hawke's tone revealed a strong sense of envy and jealousy. Although he can be considered a great director, he has not won any awards, and the box office of his movies has not been as good.
It's very explosive, especially since it has been on the decline in recent years, which makes the gap between him and truly famous directors like Marcia getting wider and wider.
"If he shows this project to Marcia, maybe Marcia will actually see the trap inside." Martin Erich couldn't help but sigh. He was a little depressed about Chen Feng's good luck. In his opinion,
, it was Marcia’s help that allowed Chen Feng to escape the disaster, otherwise Chen Feng would definitely be tricked this time.
"Yes, there is nothing we can do if he finds out now. It's really not that there is a flaw on my side. If there is, it's because there was a flaw when I designed this project."
"Okay. The main reason I'm calling you is to tell you that when I contacted Chen Feng this time, I didn't admit that we set up a trap to harm him in the "Star Wars Legends" project, so you also
Can’t admit it. Do you understand?”
"Of course, how can you admit such a thing? Don't worry, I won't admit it even to death." Bill Hawk promised.
The two of them hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Obtaining this recording can further confirm that they tried to set up a trap to trap Chen Feng in the "Star Wars Legends" project. In comparison, this recording is more weighty than the previous recording.
Chen Feng was even more happy. Chen Feng didn't bother to listen to the remaining recording files.
This is undoubtedly a good day. Not only did 120 million US dollars come into the account, but also such exciting and key evidence was obtained. The adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire" are within easy reach.
During a routine phone call with Miranda, Chen Feng was in a very good mood. Even Miranda on the other end of the phone felt it and asked: "You look very happy today. Is there anything to be happy about?"
Chen Feng said with a smile: "I shorted the stocks of Warner and Paramount a few days ago."
"Ah? What? So you made a profit? How much did you make?" Miranda was surprised at first, and then became a little excited. No one dislikes money, and Miranda is certainly no exception. Although she doesn't know much about stocks,
But in capitalist countries like Europe and the United States, we still have some basic common sense about stocks.
In the past two days, Paramount and Warner have been involved in trouble, and their stocks have plummeted. As a member of Hollywood, of course Miranda is aware of this.
"Not much, just over 100 million, um, US dollars." Chen Feng said with some pretentiousness.
Miranda immediately let out an excited scream, and then she suddenly realized that she quickly reached out and covered her mouth.
"You're amazing! I love you so much!" Miranda said, suppressing her excitement.
Being praised so much by the woman he loved, Chen Feng couldn't help but grin.
"Did you know something in advance? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?" After calming down a little, Miranda asked curiously.
Chen Feng didn't want to hide too much from her, so he just said: "Yes. I knew some news in advance, and then shorted their stocks. Although it was a bit risky, the result was not bad."
"I want a gift." Miranda stopped asking and asked for the gift directly.
"What gift?" After earning such a large amount of money, Chen Feng certainly did not hesitate to buy gifts for his girlfriend.
"I couldn't think of it at the moment. You have to read it yourself and satisfy me."
"Let's do this. I'll give you a million dollars, and you can buy whatever you like."
"You are so insincere. Am I the kind of woman who likes money?"
"Two million dollars."
"Okay. I feel your sincerity, hahaha."
…
The next day, Chen Feng waited until after lunch before he had enough time to call Martin Erich.
"Mr. Erich, I want the film and television adaptation rights of "A Song of Ice and Fire". It should be in the hands of Warner Bros. now, right?"
As soon as the call was connected, Chen Feng went straight to the point and stated his purpose.
When Martin Erich heard Chen Feng's words, he couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Chen, did I hear wrongly? You want the rights to adapt "A Song of Ice and Fire"?"
"Yes, you heard it right. I want this, please give me a price."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, I think you made a mistake. "A Song of Ice and Fire" is already our project at Warner Bros. How can we hand it over to others?"
"I am determined to win this, so I ask you to be accommodating. As long as you give this project to me, all the previous grievances between you and me will be wiped out. I am very sincere and willing to give you the original price for the adaptation rights.
I will give you an additional US$3 million in compensation, and you will definitely make a profit without losing anything."
"Haha. It is impossible for us to transfer this project."
"Okay, please open your external mailbox now, I will send you something, and then you can reply to me."
Chen Feng didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly sent the first paragraph of the bombshell phone recording to his email, and then hung up the phone.
It took longer than expected, and within five minutes, Martin Erich took the initiative to call him.
"How did you get this call recording? Do you know that this is espionage? I can sue you." Martin Erich suppressed his anger and asked Chen Feng.
"It was sent to me by an anonymous and well-meaning netizen, otherwise I would have almost believed your own words and thought that there was really a misunderstanding between us. I didn't expect that it was true that you set up a trap to harm me. I can only say,
You guys are so mean-spirited. And your call obviously involved personal insults and racial discrimination. What would you do if I made this recording public?"
What will happen? If nothing else, Martin Erich, the president of Warner Entertainment, must immediately resign. Because this recording not only involves his moral and character issues, but also legal issues, that is, with Chen Feng
It's the same as what I just said, one is personal insult and racial discrimination.
The United States has always paid special attention to the issues of human rights and racial discrimination in law. As long as one of these two items is involved, it will attract a lot of attention, especially the issue of racial discrimination, which is an issue in the United States.
Red line, whoever touches it will die.
In this call recording, Martin Erich has both problems. He called Chen Feng an obviously discriminatory term like "Oriental Man", which not only involves racial discrimination, but also involves personal insult.
Martin Erich was so angry that his breathing became rapid. After a while, he adjusted his breathing and tried his best to suppress his urge to smash his cell phone.
"For 20 million US dollars, I will transfer the "Song of Ice and Fire" project to you. If it is less than this price, there is nothing I can do."
"Okay, let's take this price."
Chen Feng agreed simply. This made Martin Erich feel a pain in his heart.
