Chapter 1423: Public opinion hedge
"Today, Lewinsky's New York Herald interview was very well arranged. I just read Facebook's hot news list and squeezed Forbes' news one. It seems that you are increasingly able to understand the way of hedging social news from entertainment news."
"The problem is, boss, the White House called me and asked about this."
"I'll take the time to explain to Bill, it's over and we're just use of waste, he won't mind too much."
Daenerys Cinema, Los Angeles.
Simon's office.
The two sides of the conversation were Pat Kingsley, the head of the public relations team of Simon and Weijia. The discussion content was still the various public opinion operations after the release of the new annual US 400 Rich List on Monday.
Under Simon's personal guidance, Jinsli's leadership team fully demonstrated a certain public opinion hedging technique in Simon's memory.
Public opinion hedging, or it can be said to be a pacifier for public opinion, or the inspiration Simon got from his memories. Simply put, it is to use entertainment news to interfere with social news, distract the public's attention, and reduce the influence of the incident.
Many examples in my memory have proved that this method is very effective. Whenever there is any bad social news, one or two celebrities always break out of scandals, just like a sad game that grabs headlines. The news that really should be closely watched is often downplayed and covered up without realizing it.
The disadvantage is that it is more expensive for celebrities.
Fortunately, for capital, it is not a problem to create a lot of stars.
In North America, which has been replaced with a new space of time, the materials used to hedge are actually much richer. In addition to entertainment news, it can also be political news or political scandals. In the United States, politicians can also be the most inexpensive consumable. If they are scrapped, they will be a lot at once.
Since his boss said it was fine, Pat Kingsley was relieved and continued: "Next, Blockbuster passed the antitrust review and the boss's family moved into Westeros Building. I will try my best to suppress the attention of public opinion, and also prepare some materials. The first one is about Leon. "The New York Gangster" is released this week. As the male lead, he has accumulated popularity in "Titanic". Leon's recent new relationship can be run well on the weekend, which is also a promotion for "The New York Gangster".
"Not bad, what else?"
"At the end of the month, the boss's family moved in. Correspondingly, I think the first launch of the International Space Station will attract more public attention, because this is the beginning of the global space exploration of common space in the era of peace."
Simon added: "You can also promote the 3G plan by the way."
"OK."
The two continued to discuss for more than ten minutes and saw Jinsli off. It was already seven o'clock in the afternoon.
Simon left the office and came home from get off work. After getting off the bus downstairs, he asked another thing about the A girl beside him: "How is Joseph and Newt talking?"
Newt Gingrich resigned for the tragic defeat in the Republican midterm election this year, which was actually forced.
It is easy to think of how could a 55-year-old politician who is in his prime at the age of 55 to give up his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives?
To this end, on the day of his resignation last Sunday, Newt Gingridge prepared a very radical farewell speech in advance, intending to scold the entire Republican Party, which was almost equivalent to publicly declaring a break with the Republican Party.
The turning point of the matter was that Joseph Schrapp, the head of political affairs in the Westeros system, took the initiative to contact the other party, and learned of the speech, and stopped it in advance.
Speaking of which, Newt Gingrich's background is somewhat similar to Clinton. Although he is not the lowest-level red neck like Clinton, he also has an average family background. As a political activist, Gingrich started to work in politics at the age of 25. It has been 30 years since he has not had the background of a political aristocratic family like the Bush and Gores, but he has also accumulated a very generous political asset.
Without the intervention of the Westeros system, Gingrich's radical speech was issued not only to break with the Republican Party, but also to actively give up his political assets accumulated for decades, and from then on basically losing his place in the American political arena.
This is also Gingrich's helplessness.
After all, it was because of the lack of political aristocratic background and the support of strong capital, so he was forced to resign from the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Even if he didn't vent his anger, it would be difficult for Gingrich to do anything else in the future.
The contact of the Westeros system allowed Gingrich to see hope again and his attitude naturally reversed.
As for Simon's side, of course, it is still a bet on both sides. It is impossible for Westeros system to develop to its current scale, and it is impossible for them to simply support either side. Moreover, unlike the Bush family, who is complex and has relatively shallow foundations and sufficient qualifications, Newt Gingrich is also a very high-quality target to win over.
Newt Gingrich also understood what it means to get support from the Westeros system, and sparked when the two sides first contacted each other. Gingrich showed his role quite neatly and used his connections to help Daenerys solve the potential changes in the Blockbuster merger case.
Regarding the Blockbuster merger case, after reaching a settlement with studios and competitors last month, Washington originally planned to release it after the midterm elections. However, due to the disastrous defeat in the midterm elections, the Republican Party plans to change its competitive strategy that has not been doing business in the past few years and intends to do something practical.
As the Westeros family think tank team predicted, the Westeros system is the most obvious target.
The Blockbuster merger case is the first to be affected.
The Republican Party originally planned to speak out to prevent the merger and acquisition, and also planned to launch a congressional investigation, and also further attacked the Clinton administration in recent years that it has been too willing to merge large enterprises and create monopoly.
As a letter of fame, Gingrich personally came forward and used his accumulated connections to cooperate with the Westeros system team to operate, making the Republican top leaders give up the plan to use Blockbuster's approach.
Since Gingrich has proved his value, Simon is not stingy and asked his team to tailor a plan to open a consulting company for the other party. He will temporarily go to business for the next time, and it is easy to earn millions of dollars a year. At the same time, there will be no shortage of opportunities to make a comeback in the future.
Newt Gingrich is obviously not satisfied with completely following the arrangements of the Westeros system and has been negotiating details with Joseph Schrapp recently.
When A girl heard Simon ask, she took out a customized iPad tablet to operate and handed it over: "This is the email that Joseph just sent in the afternoon. Gingrich still hopes that we can support him in 10 years to run for president."
Simon took the tablet and quickly browsed Joseph's email content, shook his head and said, "I have a bit of a big appetite. I have never succeeded in a few sprints. Newt wants to be president unless Bill's luck, and it is definitely impossible within ten years."
Girl A leaned slightly towards her boss, nodded, and echoed: "I think Joseph's proposal is good, Secretary of State, mainly responsible for foreign affairs, and our future development will become increasingly international, and many times it requires the cooperation of federal foreign policy."
Simon shook his head slightly: "The good idea, the problem is that it's not easy."
Girl A also understands why her boss said that.
First of all, is whether Gingrich himself is competent.
The Westeros system pushes Gingrich up. If it doesn't do well, it will be removed from office in one or two years. Not only will it not look good, but it will also waste resources here.
Then there are external reasons.
If the White House master is a Democratic Party, he will definitely not nominate a Republican Secretary of State. If he is a Republican Party, unless the other party is an unexpectedly winning the throne like Clinton, his foundation is equally shallow and he can only appoint others, otherwise he will often have his own team.
After being with her boss for so many years, even if Simon didn't say it clearly, Girl A probably understood that the next president, her boss favored the Bush family.
The Bush family's forces are mixed, which means that once they get to power, the cabinet's scammers may not be able to make up for their own people, let alone an outsider like Gingrich, or an important position like Secretary of State.
Thinking of this, A said: "Ginrich was very respected by Reagan in the 1980s and participated in many diplomatic affairs. In addition, Ginrich served as the House Minority Whip during the Bush era and also led the negotiations on control of the Panama Canal. Next, let's cultivate it in a targeted manner. Ginrich's diplomatic ability will not be problematic."
After saying that, girl A glanced at her boss.
Simon nodded slightly, understanding the female assistant's subtext, and the rest was whether she was willing to force her to push her.
After thinking for a while, when the car entered Dumei Point Manor, Simon made up his mind and said, "Just Secretary of State, such arrangements also need to be changed. Let Joe tell Gingrich that we will give him a director position in the oil company, and then, for MCSS, let Celia give the other party another consultant title. In addition to increasing understanding of the energy and military fields, we will arrange more international exchange opportunities for Gingrich in the next two years."
As the girl A listened to her boss' instructions, she lowered her head and quickly recorded the incident on the pocket memorandum.
After talking about the matter, the car stopped in the square in front of the Shell Villa.
Simon had dinner with his family and set off again to the city at nine o'clock.
Today is November 12th.
Thursday.
Thanksgiving schedule will officially begin tomorrow.
Just yesterday, the last of the first cooperation projects MGM was responsible for, "The New York Gangster", held its premiere at the Hollywood Chinese Theater. In order to stagger the time, Daenerys's "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth" was selected today, and it was the Chinese Theater.
The premiere red carpet ceremony begins at 5 p.m., with screenings from 6 to 8 p.m., followed by an after-party at Sunset Tower Hotel.
Simon did not participate in the premiere, but chose the after-event party. In addition to meeting with the project leader and learning about the premiere feedback, it was mainly another important thing. The idea that he had when he watched the sample "Life and Death Transformation" with Lin Su in China was discussed this time. This time he made an appointment with Zhou Xingxing from Hong Kong to discuss the film project.
Chapter completed!
