Birdwin was almost scared out of his wits. At most, he had only participated in the shooting of a few second-rate films before. If he really offends a promising director like Zhang Dongcheng, and even takes it to court, then it is conceivable that he will definitely find it difficult to move forward in the film industry in the future!

"Oh! No! Director Smith, listen to my explanation!" Baldwin completely lost his mind, and said in a daze: "I...I can clarify in front of the media, I think it will definitely be good for the crew, right? ? Director Smith, please give me another chance!"

Last time, this Bodwin immediately stood up to provoke Yuan's class, Zhang Dongcheng was a little upset when he saw him, and this time he did something that was close to slandering the crew. What did Zhang Dongcheng say? It is impossible to keep him on the set.

This guy is an untimely bomb. If he says something that cannot be said in front of the media again, Zhang Dongcheng can't afford the consequences. Fortunately, this guy doesn't know the entire script of the movie. Otherwise, who knows if this guy will leak the plot of the movie completely after being fired?

Before it was too late, Zhang Dongcheng shook his head without hesitation, and said firmly: "I am very sorry, Mr. Birdwin, I cannot accept your request!"

Under Baldwin's despairing eyes, Adaman paid him about three thousand dollars in liquidated damages and sent the Baldwin away.

After Baldwin left, Adaman said to Zhang Dongcheng unwillingly: "Smith, what should we do now? Are we going to let this media continue to smear us?"

Zhang Dongcheng shook his head with a smile, tapped his finger on several other newspapers and said: "Adaman. His smearing can only be his own death! Just read these reports!"

Recently, he has been busy with the crew affairs, and Adaman seldom finds time to read newspapers like Zhang Dongcheng.

Hearing this, he leaned his head over, put his hands on the desk, and looked at it in detail. After a while, Adaman laughed and said excitedly: "Great! Smith, I think this Los Angeles Media Consulting will definitely become a laughing stock!"

Nodding in agreement, Zhang Dongcheng said: "That's right, this media reported it like this. It will indeed become a laughing stock. But Adaman, I think it is necessary for us to hold another press conference to clarify the nonsense about Baldwin The impact on the crew. By the way, step on this Los Angeles Media Consulting, what do you think?"

"Wow! This is a great idea!" Adaman clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I'll arrange it now!"

As soon as the words fell, Adaman left the office in a hurry and walked outside.

That afternoon. In the conference room of Dongcheng Pictures, the second press conference after the launch of The Matrix was held again.

"I invite everyone to come today, mainly to clarify the slander of the crew by Baldwin." Zhang Dongcheng stood on the rostrum, holding a microphone, and said: "Because of Mr. Baldwin's malicious slander, Los Angeles Media Consulting released a series of Falsified news has had a very bad impact on our Matrix crew. We have fired Mr. Baldwin this morning! In addition, we hope that the Los Angeles media will immediately clarify a series of bad reports on The Matrix! Otherwise, we will It is not ruled out to use legal means to restore reputation!"

The reporter from Swinton, who was standing in the audience, thought he would get another revelation this time, but Zhang Dongcheng caught him by surprise. When he heard that the other party was going to use legal means, Swinton immediately became anxious. You must know that today's Los Angeles media report was written by him.

Once Zhang Dongcheng really took the matter to court, the company would at most issue an apology statement or something, but he might face unemployment or even the danger of being imprisoned.

"Mr. Smith!" Swinton stood up anxiously, without even raising his hand, "The report of our Los Angeles Media Consulting on The Matrix is ​​completely true and correct, and today's report is from Bird, a member of your Matrix crew. There is no exaggeration or malicious slander in what Mr. Wen said personally. All this has nothing to do with the Los Angeles Media Consulting!"

"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng understood Swinton's identity after seeing the ID card hanging around his neck. Now that he heard what he said, Zhang Dongcheng almost laughed out of anger.

"Mr. reporter, according to what you said, a murderer can argue against the judge in court. It has nothing to do with me. It's all the fault of the gun manufacturing company, because I didn't modify the gun at all. This gun is completely kept as it was when it left the factory, I just held it and pulled the trigger, so I am innocent! Mr. Reporter, how do you think the judge will pronounce the sentence?"

Zhang Dongcheng's rhetorical question immediately aroused the laughter of many reporters below the rostrum. Even some reporters who knew each other started whispering among each other.

"I..." Swinton panicked and became at a loss, not knowing how to answer Zhang Dongcheng's question.

The audience is boiling..

After the press conference, Zhang Dongcheng returned to the crew and continued to be busy shooting the film.

The next day, all news media in Los Angeles that involved entertainment, without exception, took out what Zhang Dongcheng said at yesterday's press conference.

"Smith denounced the unscrupulous media! He declared that if he does not apologize, he will take legal measures!"

"Is it a gun or a person who kills? Smith's metaphor vividly depicts a certain media group that is independent for sales!"

"It is reported that the media that was reprimanded by Smith seems to have a personal conflict with Smith. When Smith was filming the mummy, he was constantly criticized by the other party! Even if the mummy is popular, the box office and word of mouth are both good. At the same time, this media has not changed in the slightest, and it continues to blackmail Smith. This kind of media that wantonly fools the public for personal grievances really lacks the conscience that a media organization should have!"

For a while, countless media pointed their fingers at the small company Los Angeles Media Information.

What the media likes most is verbal battles, because there will be topicality when there is controversy, and topicality will make people want to know what happened, so sales will come out.

And these media tacitly put themselves on the moral high ground. They promoted themselves as if they represented a news organization with social conscience, and beat Los Angeles media information as a dog in the water.

Such an approach has really attracted the attention of many people. Everyone wants to know how big a crime this media called Los Angeles Media News has committed, and it even outlawed all of its peers.

For a while, except for the loss of Los Angeles media information. Zhang Dongcheng and the major media have all gained a lot.

Los Angeles media information held an emergency board meeting the next day.

At the meeting, when many shareholders threatened to withdraw their shares, even Gavin had to withdraw from the power center of the board of directors. Even if he held a lot of shares, he still could not manage the company anymore.

After a little revenge on this newspaper company that often caused trouble for him, Zhang Dongcheng was no longer in the mood to pay attention to him, because he encountered new troubles.

"Hey! Keanu! If only I had mixed feelings! The shock of knowing that everything I've been through for so many years is a lie, the shock of not being able to accept the truth! The cowardice of wanting to run away from it all! Helplessness! Fear! I need you to show me all these emotions in an instant! Do you understand?!" After Zhang Dongcheng called cut again, he began to talk to Keanu Reeves in distress!

Keanu Reeves is indeed an excellent actor, but without the precipitation of 1997, his acting skills cannot reach the level that Zhang Dongcheng wants in some aspects.

Without the intervention of Zhang Dongcheng, Keanu Reeves would have made a qualitative leap in his acting skills in the high-spirited movie he auditioned not long ago. It's a pity that Keanu without this experience made Zhang Dongcheng a little dizzy.

Especially in some of Neo's best scenes, his interpretation is really superficial. Let Zhang Dongcheng call CUT seven or eight times in a row.

Keanu heard this, and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm very sorry, Director Smith, can you let me think about it again! I think I need time to find that feeling!"

"OK!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, everyone, take a break for a while! Let Keanu find out how he feels!"

The scenery in front of me is very different from the original movie. Zhang Dongcheng, who has watched countless movies after 1998, looks back at The Matrix and feels that the setting of the spaceship is simply too simple. It didn't have that futuristic sci-fi feel at all.

At this moment, the cabin that Zhang Dongcheng re-created is full of the atmosphere of the real future. The computer is a row of ultra-thin high-definition monitors hanging on the wall.

Of course, these monitors are not real computers, but TVs with very clear pictures. As long as the required pictures are played properly when shooting, a jaw-dropping future fantasy picture can be created. .

Those pipes and wires were also deleted by Zhang Dongcheng. After all, wireless transmission equipment will be the mainstream in the future, although in the world of The Matrix, the matrix controls everything. But the interior of the spaceship, at least it can't be made similar to a modern factory, right?

Cables are everywhere, if there is a worker holding welding equipment squatting on the ground, this cabin is completely an electric welding site!

In the set designed by Zhang Dongcheng, many things have been replaced with things that will appear in a few years. I believe that in the few years after The Matrix is ​​released, countless people will feel that Zhang Dongcheng is simply a great prophet. The imagination about the future in the movies he shoots will appear in front of everyone one by one.
