Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

Christie glanced at Xiao Yunhai appreciatively, and thought, "No wonder he was able to grow into the top [-] millionaires in the world in just three years. Just this kind of charisma on his body alone makes him extraordinary. own."

Xiao Yunhai said: "You can discuss it with the other two partners. If they agree, we will sign the contract this afternoon, and the one billion US dollars will be credited immediately."

Adhan nodded and said, "I'll talk to them right away. As long as we don't deprive us of management rights, they should have no problem."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's good. Ms. Christie, you will be responsible for this matter."

Christie said: "No problem. However, as agreed in advance, our investment company only lends [-] million, and the remaining [-] million is what you want to lend them, and has nothing to do with us."

Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly, and said, "Shall we start dividing the accounts now? All right, I will pay the [-] million myself."

After sending Christie and the others away, Raul walked in and said, "Boss, I got the recording. It is indeed a call between George Mikan, chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, and someone else. The other party used [-] million US dollars to deprive you of There are four awards for Best Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor and Best Director. However, there is only his voice in it, and there is no name in the middle, so we can't guess who is on the phone?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded, put the recording on the computer and listened to it again, and it turned out that it was all deals between Mikan and the other party.

Xiao Yunhai asked with some puzzlement: "How did they do it?"

Raul said: "Boss, you may not be aware of the film selection process. Let's put it this way, although the Oscar awards are selected by more than 200 experts, they can play tricks when counting the votes. Because statistics Once that's done, the ballots are put in a shredder and nobody knows who voted for them. Just prepare some ballots ahead of time, replace yours, and you'll be fine."

Xiao Yunhai suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that Mikan said that he will clear many checkpoints. It seems that the ticket counters are also very important. Hehe, a prize of 5000 million U.S. dollars, they are really ruthless. All right, as long as there is his recording Okay, as for the person on the other end of the phone, I don't care about it. I can't think of anyone except Paramount. Raul, go and sneak this recording on the Internet. Don't let people find out that we did it, so as not to cause trouble Right or wrong, do you understand?"

Raul said, "I understand, boss."

In less than half an hour, Raul had someone upload the recording, and in just 10 minutes, the number of hits exceeded [-].

"We agreed. One award is 5000 million, and Xiao won four awards in total, including Best Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Actor and Best Director, which add up to [-] million US dollars."

"Do you want to admit it? Hehe, I, George Mikan, have been the chairman of the Oscars for so many years, so I'm not easy to mess with."

"Very good. You just need to bring the check for [-] million US dollars. As for how we divide it, that's our business."

In the recording, George Mikan's voice was very clear. Anyone who heard the recording had a look of indignation. This was simply a naked crime.

At noon that day, an unprecedented earthquake occurred across the United States. Oscar, regarded as a symbol of movies by movie fans all over the world, lost its former glory. The golden trophy was covered by a layer of black dirt, and the whole Hollywood was shocked. Speechless.

"How could this be? Two hundred million dollars, four awards, my God, this is not true."

"Is the Oscar reduced to this point now? Xiao's four trophies were just taken away with [-] million US dollars."

"Xiao is right, Oscar is too unfair."

"Damn George Mikan, let us misunderstand Xiao."

"It's no wonder that during the interview, George Mikan didn't dare to make a guarantee. It turns out that the biggest problem lies with himself."

"George Mikan should be shot. Terrible, the Oscars are such a dirty place, I can't believe my ears."

Not only the fans made such voices, but even the members of the Oscar jury were in disbelief.

The famous French filmmaker Berry Cabercourt said in an interview: "I really can't believe that the church in my mind will be like this. When selecting the best director, I did choose Xiao. Although Xiao did not Winning the trophy made me feel slightly regretful, but he attacked Oscar in front of the media, which is unacceptable to me, and I am still disappointed in him for this reason. Unexpectedly, what he said was actually true. George Mikan deserves to be damned because he has tarnished the movies and the Oscars. From today onwards, the Oscars will never be perfect in people's hearts again."

The actor David Hartnett wrote on his homepage: "I listened to that extremely ugly recording at noon today, so I didn't even eat. What is an Oscar? It is not just a trophy, it is The dream of every filmmaker in the world. Now that Oscar is dead, the dream is gone."

The great British director Ivan said: "This is not a scandal. The word scandal is far from describing this recording. It is really difficult for me to comment on this, because it makes me feel extremely sad and hopeless in my heart. I just want to say one thing now, George Duncan, you should go to hell, that is the Infernal Affairs that Xiao said."

Countless filmmakers were so angry that they wished they could bite George Duncan to death.

Chapter 993 Kerry's Request

The most unlucky ones were the stars of Paramount. Xiao Yunhai had just been reprimanded in the morning, but before the afternoon, his face was swollen from the recording.

Because of this recording, George Duncan became a street mouse that everyone in the United States shouted and beat.

In a private villa, George Mikan was sitting blankly on the sofa, his eyes were lifeless, his face was pale, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

"How could this be? Why is this?" George Mikan kept muttering like a fool.

From the aloof chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee to the rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beat, the strong gap left him ashamed and exhausted.

He knew that he was finished, completely finished, and no one could save him.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang, but George Mike didn't notice it, and he didn't know how many times he called it before he recovered, didn't even look at it, and picked it up .

"Hey, who are you looking for?" George Mikan asked weakly.

A gloomy voice came from the phone, saying: "Mr. Mikan, I am the assistant of Mr. Paramount Hanks."

"Paramount? Hanks?" George Mikan's eyes lit up, as if grabbing a straw, he asked hurriedly, "Where is Mr. Hanks? I want to talk to him."

The assistant said: "Sorry, Mr. Hanks is not in the office, he is on a business trip."

George Mikan said angrily: "Fart. Does Hanks want to stay out of the matter? It's a beautiful idea. You'd better let him answer the phone right away, otherwise, I'll go outside and tell those reporters right now that the one who bribed me is Pai Ramon."

The assistant on the other end of the phone seemed to pause for a while before saying, "Our Mr. Hanks will soon..."

"Let him answer the phone, I know he's right next to you." George Mikan said with great certainty.

"Mr. Mikan, I really don't want to tell you this sad news myself."

Hanks' voice came from the phone.

"I knew it must be you. Hanks, I was killed by you, and now I need to run away to a place where no one knows me. Therefore, I want you to give me a billion dollars to ensure that I can spend the rest of my life Live well."

Hanks said in a playful tone, "You really know how to joke, Mr. Mikan"

George Mikan said angrily: "I'm not in the mood to joke with you. If you can't meet my request, then we'll be finished together."

Hanks said with a smile: "Mr. Mikan, you have to be clear about one thing, that is, I have never bribed you. The person who bribed you is called Kaxiu, isn't he? By the way, the reason why I asked my assistant to give you I'm calling to tell you that your family is fine, especially your grandson and granddaughter, the two children are so cute."

Hearing Hanks' words, George Mikan seemed to be hit on the head by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his face turned livid instantly, and said, "Hanks, you bastard, you actually threatened me with my family."

Hanks said in surprise: "Mr. Mikan, you misunderstood. This is what Mr. Kaxiu asked me to bring to you, but I didn't say it."

George Mikan took a deep breath and said with a look of despair, "I shouldn't have cooperated with you, you are all devils."

Hanks said with a smile: "Mr. Mikan, don't say that, we are all prominent figures in society, how can we be called devils. Kaxiu asked me to inform you that he doesn't want to go to jail. Well, my The message mission is over, we have a chance to meet again. Ah, no, it should be forever."

After finishing speaking, Hanks hung up the phone.

George Mikan was dumbstruck when he heard the sound of the disconnection on the other side. The mobile phone slowly fell from his hand and fell to the ground. The whole person seemed to have no bones, and suddenly spread out on the sofa.

At three o'clock in the afternoon that day, major entertainment media reported one after another that George Mikan, chairman of the Oscar Organizing Committee, committed suicide in the villa.

"Suicide in fear of guilt?" Xiao Yunhai sneered when he saw the video on the Internet: "I'm afraid only the person involved will know whether it was homicide or suicide."

Lauer said: "If the police department is really impartial in enforcing the law, it is not difficult to find out who bribed Mikan. Unfortunately, the United States is a world of money. As long as there is money, even the president can be elected, let alone wiped out. There's a case."

Xiao Yunhai sighed, and said: "George Mikan ruined his fame in one lifetime for the sake of [-] million US dollars, and Oscar followed him in humiliation. Why bother?"
