Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Chapter 323: Private Video Leaked (3)

"What? You kept such an important video directly on your computer?"

"I didn’t expect that hackers would attack our company’s network. It was really an oversight."

Scooter said self-reproachfully, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Ryan, don’t worry, I forgot to tell you something. The video is fake. Only the first 3 minutes and 35 seconds are real. The rest, the 29-minute segment, is fabricated, a spliced video."

"What?!!"

Kunas exclaimed in shock.

"It’s true. The day before yesterday, I sent the video to Ivanka. After watching it, she said it was fake. I looked it over carefully, there really are editing traces. The lighting and environment have some discrepancies; it’s obviously a spliced video."

"Damn it, I was fooled. That bastard scammed me out of a million pounds."

Kunas cursed angrily.

Scooter was also helpless because the video was fake. During the negotiations, Ivanka decried it as business fraud, calling the behavior despicable, and forcefully demanded an additional 3% of his shares. His loss was even greater than that of Kunas.

This fake video release will inevitably affect Link and Taylor’s relationship. It might even lead to Link and Ivanka becoming an item. Since the video involves a suspected forgery, it won’t bring too many negative implications for Link.

From this perspective, he’s the real victim of this ’pornographic video incident.’

Love is blind.

Scooter shook his head and hurriedly consoled Kunas, telling him to track down the transfer based on the account and contact information. Maybe he could recover the million pounds. Otherwise, a failure to do so would mean an even greater loss of both money and pride.

After dealing with Kunas, Scooter hadn’t even had the chance to catch his breath when the phone rang again. The caller ID displayed ’Ivanka***’.

He was the president of SB Entertainment and occasionally moonlighted as a talent scout.

After encountering someone with potential, he would mark the contact’s information with a ’*’ to indicate that the contact needed close attention. Three ’*’s meant the person should be handled with extreme caution, a risky individual.

Ivanka was the only contact with three stars.

The video had just been leaked when Ivanka called. She must have thought he was the one who released it.

Scooter sighed resignedly and said as the call connected, "Miss Ivanka, I swear to God, I wasn’t the one who released that video."

"Who else have you given this video to?"

"No one. After Ryan sent the video to me, I only showed it to you, but..."@@novelbin@@

Scooter then explained about the hacker attack on the company’s network, which crippled the system. He suspected that the hacker had stolen and released the video to the web.

"Who knew you had that video and that you stored it on your office computer?"

Ivanka spoke in a calm voice.

"Jay-Z, Usher, Kanye, a few of them knew. A few days ago, I was planning to release the video and had notified them. There should be many people who knew I had the video, but they probably didn’t know where I stored it."

Scooter thought seriously before responding.

"What’s done is done. Let’s not rush to assign blame. The urgent matter is how to handle this situation. I’ve heard you’re a golden promoter, adept at marketing and publicity. I’m planning to entrust you with managing this crisis. What do you say?"

"You want me to handle it?"

Scooter said in surprise.

"Yes, Link Music has certain advantages in music production, but there are some shortcomings in promotion and marketing, which is exactly what you’re good at. If you can manage this crisis well, both Link and I will consider giving you part of his management contract."

"Okay, I’m willing to accept this assignment."

Scott was momentarily taken aback but quickly said without hesitation.

"I’ll wait for your good news."

Ivanka said a brief goodbye and hung up the phone.

Scott held the phone, silent for a few seconds before he suddenly clenched his fist and swung it forcefully.

Before answering the call, he had assumed Ivanka was going to give him trouble, but it turned out to be a fantastic opportunity instead.

Yes!

What Ivanka had said was, if he could handle this situation well, she would let him take charge of part of Link’s agent contract, which meant inviting him to join Link’s management team as an agent responsible for certain aspects of Link’s career.

Despite being a multimillionaire and president of SB Entertainment, in reality, the work he did was all within the scope of an agent’s responsibilities, responsible for marketing and promoting several signed artists under his wing, Kanye West, Ludacris, Usher, and newcomer Justin Bieber.

Helping them sell albums, securing them advertisements, and other activities.

Through this, he would draw agent commissions from the artists’ earnings.

For established artists like Kanye and Usher, the commission he could take wasn’t much, under 10%.

For Justin Bieber, whom he had helped rise to fame, the commission was higher, a split of seventy-thirty, with the company taking seventy percent and the artist thirty.

Even though he could make a lot of money from Justin, compared to Link, Justin was just a minor beast.

Since knowing of Link, Scott always thought of him as the most unique existence in the entertainment circle: Olympic champion, super world boxing king, swimming star, popular movie star, creative genius, pop music icon, billionaire, world’s most handsome man.

Any of these accolades alone would be a lifelong unreachable goal for many.

With such credentials, as long as he didn’t commit murder or arson, there was a great chance he could become a figure like the King of Music, MJ, or even more influential than MJ.

Working with such a person, becoming one of his agents, he could definitely make more money in the future than he ever could through SB Entertainment, like MJ’s agents Frank Dileo and Raymond Bain, who became billionaires through their work.

This was also the reason why he couldn’t help but laugh out loud after receiving Ivanka’s commission.

Moreover, the scandalous tape incident Link was embroiled in was not hard to resolve.

Since it was a fake video, the negative impact would gradually fade after a public clarification, and using this scandalous tape to get more people aware of Link could also boost his popularity and renown.

As for the fact that he was flirting with other women despite having a girlfriend, it wasn’t a big deal.

Such matters were too common in the entertainment industry; he simply made a mistake any man could make, just like President Clinton.

Men would understand him, be envious of him, thinking that stars are just like ordinary people unable to control their lower half.

Women might verbally criticize him, but deep down they’d wish to be Emma Watson, held in his arms.

Overall, the impact wouldn’t be too significant.

Which also meant his job wouldn’t be too difficult.

However, to do well in this job and to satisfy Link and Ivanka, Scott decided to work overtime today, planning to rush out a "Link Scandalous Tape Incident Crisis PR Response Plan" overnight.

It was just past five in the afternoon, and the assistant Alex was about to leave when he noticed the lights in Scott’s office were still on. He was about to knock on the door to remind him to leave when he heard a series of ’hehehe’ laughter coming from the room.

Alex felt a chill down his spine.

In the past few days, Scott had been yelling in the office like a madman, and now he was hiding in the office, laughing continuously, resembling a mouse that had stolen butter, which seemed very abnormal.

As he was about to turn and leave, he heard Scott call out, "Alex, is that you? Come in, I have a very important task for you."

Alex could only muster his courage and tighten his buttocks as he walked into the office.
