Kapitel 11: The war has begun!
"What?!"
Anton was furious: "You said Eddie was taken away by the Life Foundation?"
Phil could feel Anton's anger through the screen.
But with the experience just now, he understood the meaning of courage and said seriously: "Before Eddie was taken away, he left video materials in the homeless home."
"Video materials?"
Anton frowned and said bluntly: "Tell me what's going on."
Then, after listening to Phil's explanation, he quickly calmed down.
"Send the video materials back."
Anton instructed: "As for you, Phil, you stay in San Francisco for the time being, keep an eye on the Life Foundation, and continue to report to me if there is any situation."
"Understood."
Phil nodded.
A few minutes later, Anton received the video sent back by Phil and browsed it as quickly as possible.
His face was very ugly.
The most real picture gave him the most intuitive impact.
He could even imagine what Eddie looked like among this group of homeless people.
"Homeless House... Carlton Drake, I thought I had thought highly of you, but I didn't expect you to be more unscrupulous than I thought!"
"Eddie, great job! Next, it's up to me!"
Anton said silently in his heart.
Then he immediately booked a flight back to New York in the early morning.
Before he left, he found the assistant in the crew and called a dozen assistant directors and actors, including other staff.
He held a general meeting.
At the meeting, Anton made it clear that he had something to do and would leave the crew.
Since the filming has entered the final stage, these people can complete the remaining work independently even without him.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, more than half a month has passed since the day when Eddie first lost contact.
In this half month, the progress of the film has jumped forward a lot.
Now the remaining shooting plan is basically a supplement of scraps.
Even the plot related to the male protagonist Batman Bruce Wayne, only a very small part is left to be filmed.
Anton has the confidence to be a hands-off boss.
When he left the crew, the assistant directors saw him off respectfully and all showed bright smiles.
In contrast, they made a solemn promise to Anton that they would complete all the filming within 20 days.
At the same time, the content of the special effects of the movie was still progressing steadily.
With the design drafts made by Anton to assist the special effects artist, Anton no longer needed to pay too much attention to the special effects content. He just had to wait for the film to be completed and then add it in.
In summary, he flew to New York immediately after giving the order.
The next morning, Jim learned that Anton had returned to New York and became a hands-off boss.
He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
But he still had no way to deal with Anton, the investor and director.
The only thing he could do was to help Anton keep an eye on the crew to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
...
Arrived in New York in the early morning.
Betty waited outside the airport for a long time.
She saw Anton from a distance, his delicate face was as cold as ice, and he didn't look good to his boss.
No one would be happy to be woken up at the airport to pick someone up in the early morning.
Not to mention, this person is your boss.
"Betty, I'm your boss after all, can you give me a smile?"
Sitting in the passenger seat of the BMW, Anton tilted his head to look at Betty and couldn't help saying, "Don't forget, who paid you for your salary that exceeds 90% of your peers."
Betty snorted, "Strictly speaking, the newspaper belongs to Jonah Jameson, not Anton Jameson."
"We are all Jamesons, so the newspaper is mine, isn't that natural?"
A moment later, seeing that the car was about to arrive at the office building of the Daily Bugle, Anton smiled and said, "There should be a lot of people who feel the same way as you do now."
"What do you mean?"
Betty looked puzzled.
After parking the car, she followed Anton into the newspaper office and suddenly understood what Anton said.
The office area of the Daily Bugle was bright at this time.
The lights were shining, just like daylight.
All employees were sitting at their workstations, even the interns.
Most of them looked impatient and very irritable.
"Anton, what are you doing?"
Betty had an inexplicable premonition in her heart, as if something big was going to happen.
She had never experienced such a scene before.
Not only Betty, but other employees of the Daily Bugle were very confused.
Of course, seeing that all the employees were called back to their workplaces by Anton in the early hours of the morning, they suddenly felt the same as Betty.
I'm afraid something big is going to happen.
"I called you all here today because I want to announce something."
Anton said calmly, without any emotion.
"The front page of tomorrow's newspaper will be invalid."
Then, he spoke without question.
As he said that, he turned on the public projector and projected the video materials he brought with him onto the wall.
Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
Someone cursed: "Shit! Anton, do you know what you are talking about?"
Realizing that the video Anton was projecting at this time would be the new front page of the Daily Bugle tomorrow, there was no time to vent their resentment. Including him, everyone stared at the flashing picture without blinking.
"As you can see, this will be the front page tomorrow!"
After Anton finished speaking, he looked around with sharp eyes.
No one dared to look at him.
After a moment, these people's faces were uncertain and their brows were furrowed.
Someone opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Where is this?"
Betty asked after a long while.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something and said, "This is Eddie's field work!"
"Eddie, did Eddie take this photo?"
"That's right. Editor-in-chief Eddie has just arrived and he is out on a field trip. Who else could it be? Could it be those interns who know nothing?"
Everyone gave a surprisingly consistent response.
Eddie went out on a field trip just a few days after he came to the Bugle Daily. He hasn't been back for almost a month, and no one knows about it.
If the newspaper hadn't issued a notice, everyone would have thought that Eddie had offended the boss and ran away, or that he had offended the young boss Anton and was directly fired because of his work.
Of course, what they said was even more incomprehensible was that Eddie was the editor-in-chief of the Bugle Daily.
Generally speaking, the editor-in-chief sits in the office drinking tea and doing command work. How could he go deep into the front line?
But thinking of Eddie's original identity, everyone suddenly realized it.
When it comes to field work and business capabilities, perhaps no one here can compare to Eddie.
After working as a reporter for so many years, he was directly promoted to editor-in-chief by the always picky Jonah Jameson. You can imagine how good Eddie is.
If he hadn't offended Carlton Drake in San Francisco, with Eddie's ability, he would have had a foothold no matter where he was and would have lived well.
"The video is very clear, and I don't need to explain too much."
Anton said, "This is a scandal of the Life Foundation, the one in San Francisco, the one that has a grudge against Eddie. They even signed an invalid human experiment volunteer agreement in private and murdered the homeless on the street. Eddie lost his job and was banned by the industry because he wanted to expose Drake."
"However, Eddie sneaked into the homeless home to shoot this video, and has now been taken away by the Life Foundation. In order to ensure his safety, we must release these materials as soon as possible to ignite public opinion, so that they can't take care of themselves and dare not murder volunteers again."
"So, listen to me and give up tomorrow's front page."
He said slowly, word by word: "From this moment on, our Daily Bugle and the Life Foundation... have gone to war!"
