America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 845 - 831 Legal Arson_2

Martin twirled the pen in his hand, "Go on."

Bruce detailed, "Ivan personally followed Charlotte Kirk for two days. Just at noon today, he discovered that Charlotte was meeting someone secretly at the Burbank Hotel. He waited for a while and, when Charlotte Kirk left the hotel, noticed Kevin Tsujihara, the CEO and chairman of Warner Bros., coming out from another door."

Martin set down his pen and asked, "Was it really Kevin Tsujihara?"

"Ivan couldn't be entirely sure," Bruce said while looking at the email. "Ivan and his assistant captured a video of Kevin Tsujihara and Charlotte Kirk leaving the hotel separately, not more than three minutes apart. Additionally, Ivan found out that the suite Charlotte Kirk entered was a long-term business suite of Warner Bros."

Hearing this, Martin concluded, "One coincidence might just be a coincidence, but two linked together, that's no coincidence. The person behind Charlotte is most likely Kevin Tsujihara."

He suddenly recalled some inexplicable actions and tones of Charles Roven and continued, "With Kevin Tsujihara's position, asking Charles Roven to arrange a minor role for Charlotte in the crew, Charles would find it hard to refuse."

Bruce agreed, "It's a small matter, seeing Charlotte, Charles would guess the reason."

He handed his phone to Martin, which had photos sent by Ivan.

Martin briefly flipped through them and said, "Is this incident of secret photography directly related to Kevin Tsujihara?"

After thinking for a moment, Bruce speculated in the style of Jody, "Being in Hollywood, if I said that Charlotte and Kevin Tsujihara had no romantic involvement, would you believe it?"

Martin shook his head, "Are you talking about a plot from a fantasy movie?"

Bruce shrugged, "The previous president of Warner Bros., Jon Berg, who you brought down, is Kevin Tsujihara's brother-in-law. It's said they have a very good sibling relationship. This short man from the island country might be quietly gathering evidence against you."

He further added, "That day, if you hadn't found the spy equipment and held back from messing with Charlotte, it would be much trouble for you in the future with the increasingly magical societal conditions."

Martin sighed, "Why doesn't the Warner Bros. Team focus their energy on their business?"

Bruce responded, "How can they be called the 'Team' if they don't stir things up from time to time?"

Martin handed the phone back to Old Cloth and leaned back on the couch, recalling previous events related to the Warner Bros. Team.

What he remembered most was how the Warner Bros. Team disastrously handled powerful opportunities, creating myriad issues by bypassing producers and directly interfering with the shooting and production of the crew, often not just one executive, but several interfering directly, leaving the directors often full of complaints.

Luckily, Warner Bros. is a large corporation and could withstand the turmoil. Otherwise, a smaller company would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Are there similar manipulative tactics in other Hollywood companies?

Martin could affirmatively answer that other companies had just as many manipulative tactics, such as Disney after Robert Iger resigned and began freewheeling.

The issue was that Warner Bros. miserably failed in this realm, spending over a decade and billions of dollars, still far from its goals.

The losers were naturally etched on the pillar of shame, enduring endless spitting and whipping.

This was also the main reason Martin had a profound impression of the Warner Bros. Team.

Undoubtedly, Kevin Tsujihara was the leader of the Warner Bros. Team.

Martin vaguely remembered that around 2020, Kevin Tsujihara was still the CEO of Warner Bros.

Then it was over.

Thinking carefully, the reason announced in the media was an affair scandal; Kevin Tsujihara had an affair with an actress.

Yes, that was how the media reported it at the time, leading Kevin Tsujihara to resign.

But to topple a Hollywood mogul over a woman's issue, everyone knew that was nonsense.

Not to mention Kevin Tsujihara having an affair with one actress, even if it were a dozen or twenty, would not be considered an issue.

Martin felt that the root cause still lay in the performance.

The Warner Bros. Team's antics nearly ruined Warner Bros.

Martin mused whether the woman who forced Kevin Tsujihara to resign might be this Charlotte Kirk.

If so, that would be interesting.

Martin remembered more details, forgetting exactly where he had seen it, possibly in an interview with that woman.

Martin didn't remember much else, but one sentence was quite memorable because it involved the "Wonder Woman" movie.

The woman claimed that Kevin Tsujihara promised to secure her the role of Wonder Woman until Zack Snyder announced that Gal Gadot would play Diana, and only then did she realize she had been deceived.

That was roughly the gist.

Seeing Martin deep in thought, Bruce did not disturb him and patiently waited.

After a while, Martin opened his eyes, looked at Bruce, and said, "Old Cloth, keep a close eye on this Charlotte, especially her dealings with Kevin Tsujihara. We need to ensure we have weapons to counterattack when Kevin Tsujihara moves against us, considering he is still the CEO of one of the big six companies in Hollywood."

Bruce nodded in agreement.

Martin paused briefly, then added, "Also, have someone check if Charlotte Kirk ever auditioned for the 'Wonder Woman' crew or was involved with any of the roles."

"I think I've heard something about that," Bruce said as he took out his phone, "I'll make a call and have someone ask around from the side."
