Chapter 94 The Sorrow of a Chess Piece

“Beautiful job!”

Two goblets clinked together.

After clinking glasses with Litt, Orwitz drank all the wine in the cup in one breath. After putting down the cup, he invited Litt to taste the dish that he had just served, saying that it was a new dish invented by the French chef he invited, with a unique taste.

Orwitz is in a good mood these two days. Since the Los Angeles Times exposed the true identities of the group of protesters blocking the door of the Amg building, the trend of media and public opinion during this period has immediately turned toward the Amg side.

Although some people questioned the authenticity of the Los Angeles Times report, most media are not fools. It is doubtful that so many protesters emerged all at once. Moreover, after the incident was published, these media also sent reporters to mingle the protesters' team for various investigations. Although these people were already wary of it, some flaws were still discovered by these reporters.

After receiving the police from Amg, the police announced that they would intervene in the investigation. Soon after, the group of protesters quickly dispersed, and the matter eventually turned into an absurd farce.

"Johnny guessed from the beginning that you wouldn't just wait for death, and even judged that you would do something irrational because of this, but he certainly didn't expect that you could settle this matter in this way. If I were the mastermind behind this matter, I would have regretted it now. If I had known it, I would have found some more professional 'actor'."

Compared to Orwitz's relaxed face, Lite's mood was a little heavy at the moment.

"I don't know if they don't regret it, but I'm sure they won't stop there, and this matter won't end like that."

"You really must be the one who planned this matter behind the scenes?" Although all the signs indicate that there is suspicion of caa manipulation behind this matter, Orwitz still has some difficulty accepting emotionally.

Li Te knew this, so he didn't say anything to death.

"This incident may not be instructed by the senior officials of Caa, otherwise the protesters would not be so unprofessional, but it is certain that this incident is definitely not related to some people in Caa."

Orwitz sighed softly, "I hope the police can find some evidence."

Li Te shrugged and said nothing. In fact, he had no fantasy about it. The person who planned this matter behind the scenes would definitely not leave any direct evidence to the police. Even if some clues were found, it would not be of much help to the lawsuit.

Orwitz was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think they will do next?"

"It must be targeting our weaknesses, just like this time."

Orwitz thought about Lite's words seriously, and then suddenly thought of something.

"Do you think they will make a fuss about the Titanic? After all, the betting agreement signed by James Cameron and Fox is from your advice, and there are definitely more than the people who know about it."

The release date of "Titanic" is approaching, and the outside world is not optimistic about the movie and the voices of the movie are rising and falling. In this case, Amg suggests that James Cameron and Fox sign a bet agreement once it is exposed, and the movie will fail in the box office in the future, Amg will become the target of ridicule by everyone.

Litt and Orwitz have the same idea, but unlike Orwitz's worries, Litt now hopes that the other party can make some trouble in this matter.

At the same time, in the office of the Caa President, the same topic also appeared between Lovett and Gerald.

"You have to think about it. The last time I found someone to protest at the door of the Amg building, although the company has a default attitude towards your approach, you have messed up that matter. If you want to do something against Amg this time, many people will probably disagree!"

Gerald disagreed with this statement, and even felt that this was some hint from Lovett.

"Mr. President, others may not understand me, but you should know that I do this for the sake of caa. If I continue to let amg develop like this, it will definitely grow into our most terrible enemy."

Lovett glanced at Gerald and sneered, "This doesn't require your reminder. I just want to know, what are you going to do this time?"

"There is something you may not know yet. Just over three months ago, Litt had a secret contact with James Cameron. After that, James Cameron signed a betting agreement on Titanic with Fox. I can be sure there must be some connection between the two."

Lovett was a little dissatisfied with Gerald's intentional approach of keeping him in hiding, but he still asked patiently: "What does this mean?"

"From the various performances of Litt since the founding of Amg, what he likes most is to play according to common sense, especially after the movie "I'm crazy for Mary" was successful, his tendency became more and more obvious, including the box office estimate of "Titanic", and the acceptance of MGM commission this time to shoot a new 007 movie on the premise of replacing the actor of Bond. The more people are not optimistic about things, the more he wants to try, because this can prove his uniqueness. But he overlooked a very important issue. He cannot be lucky so much. I think this is his biggest flaw."

"But it may also be his biggest advantage!"

Lovett's addition surprised Gerald, because he heard another meaning from these words.

Facing Gerald's slightly suspicious gaze, Lovett did not intend to continue hiding it.

"I know there is a serious conflict between you and Li Te, and this conflict has been formed before Li Te left Caa. It can continue until now, which means that the conflict between you two has no possibility of being resolved at all. This may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing."

The expression on Gerald's face became increasingly confused.

"Mr. Lovett, what do you mean?"

"Don't understand yet?" Lovett shrugged helplessly, "I'll tell you this. Can you realize Lite's threat to the future development of Caa. Do you think that no one else in the company can see it? In fact, the company has paid enough attention to Lite long before and did not take any action. First of all, as you said, we are not sure whether the success that happened to him was due to luck or whether he really had some judgment that ordinary people could not achieve."

Gerald interrupted Lovett without hesitation.

"He is definitely lucky. If he is really a skill, why don't he show it when he is caa?"

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but you also need to know that there are some things in this world that some people cannot judge based on common sense. You can be 100% sure that Lite is not that kind of person?"

Lovett's rebellious question made Gerald stunned for a moment, and then he said without hesitation: "The company should suppress Lite without hesitation and eliminate all the possibility of his growth!"

"Ca is indeed the most powerful brokerage company in Hollywood now, but don't forget that we cannot represent the entire Hollywood. Whether our partners or our opponents, we will not want to see Hollywood monopolized by Caa. In this case, it is easy for us to suppress an ordinary brokerage company, but if we want to suppress a company like Amg, do you think Orwitz and Lit will be left alone? Compared to setting a terrible enemy for ourselves, many people within the company are actually more inclined to another option."

When Lovet said this, Gerald's face turned pale all of a sudden, because he had guessed what Lovet wanted to say.

Caa can grow to its current scale not because it defeated many powerful enemies along the way, but because it turned many powerful enemies into its own partners along the way. Looking at the development history of Caa, whether in the Orwitz era or the current post-Owitz era, the strongest thing is not a means to deal with people, but a means to win over people.

"There are two kinds of attitudes towards Li Te in the company. One is to ask for a suppression of him like you, and the other is to find a way to win him over. The reason why the two sides have not reached a consensus yet is because Li Te has not shown a completely convincing ability, and it is because of his relationship with Orwitz. It will be very difficult to win over and a high price to pay. But once Li Te's ability is confirmed, I believe that most people will choose to win over him. By then, your situation in Caa will be very embarrassing. Even if Li Te joins Caa, you must leave."

After saying this, Lovett leaned on the chair and looked at Gerald with a distraught expression:
