After leaving Walt Disney and returning to the hands of the Weinstein brothers, Miramax embarked on art films and strategies for operating around awards, which are far from Disney's business policy, and the cooperation between the two parties has gradually decreased. Although Ryan did not pay much attention to the company, he personally owns nearly 20% of Miramax's shares.

Although he was not a member of the board of directors, such a major incident happened, Harvey Weinstein naturally thought of notifying him.

Perhaps the Jewish fat man had the intention of asking Ryan to help settle it.

However, this kind of thing was exposed on the Internet without media notification. The most important thing is that the video appears, which is really troublesome.

After explaining a few words to Natalie, Ryan walked to the flight deck at the rear of the yacht, took a helicopter and returned to Los Angeles, and made several calls in a row. Nicole, who received his call, was not surprised. In addition to being a major shareholder of Miramax, she was also a member of the board of directors and had just received the news.

Things are not complicated. The bed and videos of Richard Nanulla, the famous African-American professional manager, Miramax's current chairman, were posted on a gossip website and spread rapidly. If an ordinary woman appeared, it would be nothing, but the heroine in it was Jessica Alba. The video was filmed just when Miramax cast a casting for "City of Sin".

Many things in Hollywood are actually not secrets. There are many rumored in North America, but private discussions and evidence exposure are completely different concepts.

If handled improperly, this matter is likely to affect Miramax, causing huge losses of hundreds of millions of dollars to Ryan and Nicole.

"Harvey, this may not be an isolated scandal."

In the reception room of the club in Malibu, Ryan asked Harvey Weinstein directly opposite him, "What do you think with Bob?"

"That..." The fat man frowned tightly, "Ryan, is there any hope..."

"You should know better than me, Harvey."

After standing up and walking a few steps, Ryan turned his head, "The Internet is an open-ended media. When I came here, I saw gossip websites. Now it is no longer our power can suppress it."

In fact, without saying that Harvey Weinstein also understands this, but no matter who he is, he always has a little hope, even if he knows that the possibility is not high.

"Only Richard Nanulla is allowed to leave."

Hearing Harvey Weinstein's unwilling words, Ryan walked back to his seat, "Richard Nanula is indeed a rare talent, but this is the best choice now."

Things are far from that simple. Ryan believes that such transactions with small stars are definitely not an isolated case in Miramax. And then again, such things are not uncommon within Disney. The whole industry is so popular. What we need to consider now is how to shut up those two people and take the responsibility on their shoulders.

Harvey Weinstein has been together in Hollywood for decades, so he naturally understood the truth. After saying a few simple words to Ryan, he hurriedly left and called on staff to start crisis public relations.

This incident was directly reflected in the stock market. The New York Stock Exchange just opened the next day, and Miramax's stock fell, and it fell by nearly 10% in just half a day. According to the financial media, Ryan and Nicole combined with a total of more than 50 million US dollars of property evaporated.

Celebrity scandals have always been the focus of public attention, involving both the chairman of Hollywood's second-tier companies and third-rate little stars of the "sexual disease gate", paparazzi and gossip media across the United States are jumping up and down.

The firepower was concentrated on Richard Nanulla. First, the little star must be a weak person, and second, his experience was much more brilliant than Jessica Alba.

As early as the early 1990s, 31-year-old Richard Nanula became Disney's chief financial officer and the youngest CFO in Fortune America's Fortune America's Fortune America's Fortune America's Fortune America's Fortune America's First Black CEO.

He was selected into the new lineup of Fortune Black Power and is one of the most promising executives in the American business world.

In the video uploaded to a gossip website, Richard Nanulla pretends to be a S-love star named "Mr.Rich" and records the process of having sex with Jessica Alba.

Fortunately, this guy didn't mention the problem of the movie and the characters in the video, otherwise Miramax would have faced greater trouble.

It's just that the video recording time displayed on the video is too close to the casting time of "City of Sin" explained in the text label below, and it's hard not to remind people of some well-known things.

Once a person is unlucky, more unlucky things will often occur.

On the next day, his ex-wife Tracy Nanula was interviewed by the media, claiming that Richard Nanula had been sexually addicted for many years. As early as 1999, she received sexual addiction treatment in San Rafael, California. When she discovered that his husband had spent a full $10,000 on a girl, she insisted on sending him to treatment.

Although the executive's problems can be said to be irrelevant to the company, the widely circulated private scandal is astonishingly lethal. Miramax not only became the focus of the public, but also faces investigation by the Actors Association...

In addition, several Hollywood stars, including Brad Pitt, have interrupted the cooperation matters in negotiations with Miramax, and several directors have also withdrawn from the movie Miramax is preparing.

All of this led to further turmoil in Miramax's stock, and in less than three days, the market value evaporated by fifteen percent.

Under the increasingly intense sexual scandal, sacrificing Richard Nanula to quell the storm was an inevitable choice. Miramax quickly announced that the other party had resigned for "personal reasons".

As the protagonist and carefully dressed victim in the video, a spokesperson for Jessica Alba said that this was just a mistake made when she was young and ignorant, and now she regrets it very much...

In short, it was to push all this to her simplicity and ignorance in crisis public relations, and in other things, she chose to remain silent extremely smart. Obviously, Miramax paid a certain price to block her mouth.

According to common sense, this is the best crisis public relations countermeasure, and her team is doing well. Compared with Richard Nanula, she will inevitably receive some sympathy from the public and the media, and there is no possibility of turning around in the future, but if nonsense comes out, the nature of the matter will completely change.

To put it in an exaggeration, that is going to be right against the entire Hollywood production company, who will use her in the future?

But things had a negative effect. Her very pure and ignorant statement was sarcastic by the media. After all, even a fool would not believe the protagonist of the "sexual disease" and the poison-absorbing queen Lin Sai? Lohan's close friend would be a simple and ignorant person.

Jessica Alba's remarks accidentally helped Miramax to separate him.

Of course, Ryan would not pay too much attention to such a small star. Miramax's compensation is not worth mentioning to him. What he cares about is just an individual incident against Richard Nanulla, or is it an ulterior motive of the blow?

Does the other party have other goals?

“From the day when gossip was exposed.”

Kissing his daughter's little nose, Ryan said to Nicole, who was sitting on the other side, looking through the script, "I told Harvey that this is definitely not an isolated incident."

"Dad...Dad." Sandy's little hands grabbed him, and he would scratch it from time to time. Then the princess smiled and said a few words he knew, "Dad...Dad, Mommy."

"Don't say these things in front of your children."

With a glaring glance, Nicole clapped Sandy for fear. The little guy struggled to get out of Ryan's arms, holding the couch and walking towards his mother. Although the speed was very slow, he finally got into Nicole's arms.

"Mommy."

Compared to dad, she said this word much more fluently.

"Dear." Nicole kissed Sandy's little face, "Can you ask Aunt Elsa to take you to the garden?"

The little guy had no right to object at all. He was carried into the children's car by Elsa and pushed it to the garden through the back door.

"Ryan, you should pay attention in the future."

Sitting down again, Nicole put away the script and said seriously, "Although Sunny is still young, our words and behavior will affect her. Please don't mention these too dark things in front of your children in the future?"

"I wish Sunny had a carefree childhood," she said again.

"Sorry, I may have ignored these." Ryan understood that this was his fault and quickly promised, "I will definitely pay attention in the future."

“According to the analysis of Miramax’s technical department.”

Now that his daughter is gone, Nicole has a discussion with Ryan without any scruples. "It was someone who used hacking technology to steal the private content from Richard's computer and then posted it on the Internet."

"My people have checked it." Ryan frowned. "They did not blackmail Richard, nor did they call for gossip websites, they were completely free to publish..."

"What are their purposes?"

Hearing Nicole's words, Ryan shook his head and said, "The hackers' ideas are not something we can understand. Maybe these people just think they are fun."

Even though he said that, Ryan didn't believe this. Who knows what was hidden behind the doors of Hollywood in his previous life?

"Nicole." Ryan suddenly thought of something, "Remember, don't take selfies randomly in the future, and don't store too private things on your mobile phone and computer."

"I'm not that ignorant."

He stood up and tidied up his clothes, Nicole walked back, "I'm going to find Sunny, aren't you going to be with me?"

"certainly."

Ryan walked over and held her hand.

The matter gradually subsided, but Ryan did not give up on the investigation. Miramax's stock fell, causing him and Nicole to lose 80 million dollars in the stock market, and things did not end so easily.
