Chapter 503: The Real Wolf of Wall Street

As soon as they came to 20th Century Fox, Kara Firth and Bill Rossis found them.

"You said there was good news on the phone when you came here." Murphy first got Gal Gadot a glass of water, then sat next to her, and asked, "What good news?"

"Of course it's good news that can stimulate the movie's box office, the reality version of "The Wolf of Wall Street." Kara Firth shook her head towards Bill Rossis, "Bill, you should say it."

Bill Rosses didn't shirk, and said directly, "The New York Post just got an exclusive news today. An investment bank executive with an annual salary of nearly tens of millions of dollars on Wall Street forced his wife to play with him in order to win over clients. Breathing game."

"There really are such people." Gal Gadot was a little surprised.

Murphy didn't speak, but frowned and thought.

"There are not only people like this." Kara Feith shook his head, "They also have two children, and they seem to be a very happy couple."

Gal Gadot could only sigh, "Reality is more exaggerated than movies."

"The news hasn't been published yet?" Murphy asked suddenly.

"No." Kara Fiss said, pulling a chair and sitting down, "I have some friendship with a deputy editor of the New York Post, and when she got the news, she thought it might have something to do with my film project. Help, call me immediately."

Murphy nodded and asked, "Is the source reliable?"

Kara Firth shrugged, and the expression on his face became very exciting, "The person who broke the news to them is the wife of the investment bank executive."

This is really an exaggeration of the reality than the movie, Murphy can only think so.

"The real-life Wolf of Wall Street is indeed a good topic for hype." Of course he understood what Kara Firth and Bill Rossis meant, "it can attract more people to watch our movie."

Speaking of this, Murphy stood up and took a few steps, and asked, "Can we collect some information on this, and the "New York Post" and Fox's media will take the lead to make one or several issues dedicated to Wall Street. report?"

"I think so," Bill Rossis agreed.

Kara Feith also nodded, "It should be possible, this is not difficult, but it's best not to involve those real big shots, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Yeah." Murphy agreed with Kara Feith's statement that this was to create hype for the film, not to create a fuse for the war. "Find more people like the executives of the small investment bank you mentioned."

"Find a few more?" Kara Firth raised her eyebrows, "Murphy, you are so greedy."

"Don't you think so?" Murphy laughed, "Greed is a sin, but a virtue."

Kara Firth tilted her head slightly, "Didn't you criticize greed in the movie?"

Murphy spread his hands and said innocently, "That's just the opinion of film critics. When did I say I was going to criticize greed?"

Investors on Wall Street are indeed greedy guys, but greed, as an eternal virtue, is rooted in the hearts of everyone in the United States and the world.

On the topic of greed, it is impossible to blame a specific historical period, civilization stage, or even certain people at a certain time in the past. This is the most basic feature of survival. In this era of drastic changes in the world, human beings seem to be omnipotent. Unfortunately It's that humans themselves haven't evolved much.

This kind of thing requires the help of 20th Century Fox, and Kara Feith cannot make a decision alone, and it will take a little time to brew.

Monday passed quickly, and the box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" on its first working day fell 70% compared to Sunday, earning $6.2 million in a single day. It's not a cliff-like plunge, but compared to Murphy's previous films, the drop is still relatively large.

However, these are within the psychological expectations of Murphy and 20th Century Fox. After all, the previous "investigation gate" has greatly mobilized the emotions of the entire North American audience.

As a result, the film's first weekend box office was boosted. When this enthusiasm is vented, the number of viewers will definitely drop sharply, and the direct reaction at the box office will be a relatively large drop.

The subject matter of the film is here, and this is not a typical commercial type with an extremely wide audience.

Murphy is very clear that in order to maintain a stable trend in the film, it must be stimulated by new topics, and the Wall Street scandal is undoubtedly a very suitable type.

Kara Firth soon got the support of Twentieth Century Fox, and no commercial company would refuse the temptation of seeing profits.

What's more, they won't provoke those big names, but only the executives of small investment banks.

The "New York Post" fired the first shot of the publicity hype.

"Wall Street executives play the real version of The Wolf of Wall Street, and force their wives to play a sex game with each other in order to attract clients. Strictly speaking, the "New York Post" is not a mainstream newspaper, but A lace scandal like this can only stay on a less important page, but this time the "New York Post" put it directly on the front page headline, and accompanied it with a photo provided by the whistleblower himself.

The photo shows the whistleblower's family of four. She is holding her youngest daughter, and her accused husband is carrying the eldest daughter. It looks like a very happy family of four.

This happy family portrait is in stark contrast to what was reported.

"An investment bank executive with an annual salary of 7 million US dollars, tall and handsome, with a perfect family, looks glamorous, and now his wife has exposed him as a 'Wolf of Wall Street'! In order to attract important clients, this Wall Street executive not only forced his wife Having sex with the other party also took cocaine and other drugs."

"Sage Kelly, 42, head of healthcare at Jefferies Investment Bank, is currently fighting divorce proceedings. His wife, Christina, alleges that her husband forced her to marry a family, according to court documents obtained by the media. Drug company boss Mark Beale and his girlfriend play pooches and take meth."

"Mark Beer is an important client of Jefferies Investment Bank, which is related to Sage Kelly's career."

"A few days ago, Christina told this reporter what happened: six of us got drunk in the bar of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Boston that night. In addition to me and Sage, Mark Bill and His girlfriend was present, as was Ke Qi, the senior vice president of Hengke Bank, and Bill's eldest son. Except for Bill's eldest son, all five of us took cocaine, and then Ke Qi opened a luxury room, and Bill's girlfriend did a striptease in the room."

"Christina recalled that Mark Beer had been harassing her at the time, and she tried to ask her husband for help, but Kelly told her to let her go, and eventually the four of them played sex and sex games together."

"I know Kelly's purpose, he is for his own work, because Bill is a potential important client of his. If he can't handle Bill, he may lose his job. So, I became a victim - Chrissy Tina said angrily."

"According to Christina, this is not the only time she couldn't stand this ridiculous life and decided to sue the court for divorce. What's even more shocking is that in the complaint, Christina also listed There are a bunch of names of high-level Wall Street executives who used to take drugs and have sex with her and her husband, and Ben Loreiro, the boss of Kelly's investment bank, is among them..."

As soon as this report came out, it immediately aroused widespread attention. In this era of weakening traditional newspapers, the "New York Post" was rarely out of stock.

The emergence of this situation is closely related to the widespread attention caused by "The Wolf of Wall Street".

In turn, this report aroused more people's interest in the secrets of Wall Street, so they went to the theater to watch "The Wolf of Wall Street".

The most direct result is that the single-day box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" on Tuesday soared by 20% compared to Monday, earning 7.7 million US dollars that day.

But this is not over yet, and attention will continue for a while, and the resulting publicity and hype on Wall Street will not stop.

An accusation against Wall Street executives was subsequently widely shared on Facebook.

A waitress named Laura Ramadi accused a hedge fund manager Brian Lederman of groping his ass while eating. Brian Lederman's Facebook response not only did not deny it , also claims that he has groped thousands of girls' asses because doing so can give him pleasure, so that he can devote more passion to his work.

Immediately afterwards, a well-known blogger posted an anonymous Goldman Sachs employee's advice to interns on his blog, which once again attracted everyone's attention.

There are multiple pieces of advice in the blog post, filled with sexist and egotistical entries: sleep with an intern and brag about it to your co-workers to gain respect; never make a racist joke, just repeat what other interns have said Just make a racist joke and tell whoever you heard it from...

These were also reproduced by traditional paper media, and many unknown aspects of Wall Street gradually appeared in front of the public through media reports, which not only made people want to spy on more secrets of Wall Street, but also further stimulated the subprime mortgage crisis Post-public discontent with Wall Street.

Although these gossips can only provide a one-sided peep into Wall Street, gossip and negative news abound on Wall Street. A place with money is inseparable from right and wrong, not to mention Wall Street, the global financial center, is driven by money. Drama, farce, and the weakness of human nature are all staged here.

More people flocked to the theaters, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" became the most direct beneficiary, and the deceptions of the Wall Street economic people shown in the film have been further spread as time goes by. People who suffered heavy losses in the mortgage crisis and even went bankrupt began to attribute their miserable situation to the deception of Wall Street.

Some inexplicable emotions began to breed among them, and then spread like a virus. (to be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please read here. )
