Hollywood Drawing

John and Wayne, who looked puzzled, followed Jimmy back to the small conference room and watched him turn on the TV and switch to NBC.

"Here is the NBC News report. Ms. Halle Berry was just interviewed and said that the young director Wayne Greenberg sexually harassed and severely racially discriminated against her!

Wayne Greenberg's last film "Happy Death Day" has just been released worldwide. This small production with an investment of US$1 million has just harvested US$120 million in box office from more than 60 countries around the world!

And is this billionaire director who just graduated really a perverted and racist person? Below is the real-time footage of our reporter interviewing Halle Berry! "

"Ms. Berry, you said you were sexually harassed and racially profiled by Director Greenberg?"

Halle-Berry said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, it's in the director's office at Warner Studios."

"Excuse me, can you tell me why you went to his office?" NBC's reporter seemed to be cooperating with her to find a motive for her behavior.

Halle-Berry showed embarrassment at the right time. "Because Director Greenberg asked me to audition, he said that my audition on the first day was not very good and he hoped to perform again."

"Ms. Berry, what did he do to you, and why do you call him racist?"

"He asked me to take off all my clothes and kneel on his..." At this point, she deliberately closed her mouth and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The female reporter saw her choked up and encouraged her with some indignation. "It's okay, Harry, tell me everything that happened to you. The matter is over. The public has the right to know. Movie fans need to recognize this scumbag."

Halle-Berry wiped her tears and mustered up the courage to continue speaking to the camera: "He told me that as long as I obeyed and served him, he could give me roles. You know, I want to win roles through my own efforts, Don't want this.

Seeing that I didn't agree to this deal, Director Greenberg wanted to rip off my clothes. I dodged him and prepared to escape. "

"Then, Harry, be brave and tell her everything." The reporter continued to encourage her appropriately.

"Then she called me a nigger! Son of a bitch! He also threatened me that if I walked out of this office today, he would join forces with the agency to ban me and I would never make a movie!"

With a "pop" sound, Jimmy turned off the TV and looked at Wayne, whose face was ashen.

"This bixxh!" It wasn't until Jimmy turned off the TV that Wayne realized what was happening. He realized immediately that something was wrong and full of conspiracy.

"Director Greenberg!" John looked at him seriously. "Did you do those things? This is very important. I need to know what you did in order to communicate the public relations method to the company."

"I didn't, I'm not that obsessed." Don't say he didn't do it, even if it was true, he couldn't admit it at this time.

"She did come to my office that day, but contrary to what she said, it was impossible for me to do those mindless things."

In this country, you can smoke leaf cigarettes, have a messy private life, be promiscuous, and even yell at the president and members of Congress. The only thing you can't do is racial discrimination.

Especially in the fame and fortune circle of Hollywood, if you are identified as a racist, it is equivalent to giving up your career completely, because the public will never pay for the work of a racist.

Because Jimmy ran in from the studio door, his face was always red after strenuous exercise. After turning off the TV, he asked uncertainly:

"You really didn't do anything to her? You know, this is a big problem, definitely a big problem that will affect your career, you have to be honest with me!"

"I didn't do anything, let me think alone." Wayne lit the cigarette habitually and took a deep breath. "John, please announce to the crew that this is the end of today's work and we will continue filming tomorrow."

John and Jimmy looked at each other and walked out of the conference room together, leaving him alone to think.

"John, told the crew to refuse reporters interviews. There must be reporters outside the Warner Studio now." Jimmy reminded the production manager that these reporters are like sharks that smell blood, especially those who Tabloids.

"I will say it, but the effect is not guaranteed." John shook his arm helplessly, and there were dozens of people in the entire crew. No one can guarantee whether anyone is talking nonsense.

Moreover, there are several African-Americans in the main cast. They are glass-hearted people who are always very united at times like this. It is right for Wayne not to show his face first.

Now it seems that whether this film can continue to be filmed is a big problem.

At this time, almost the entire crew had received the news, and several African-American actors were sitting together and discussing quietly. After John announced a temporary holiday, everyone walked out quietly in a strange atmosphere.

When leaving the studio, everyone found that reporters had blocked the door, and NBC even drove a news broadcast truck here.

Among all the people, the most conspicuous one was Will Smith. As soon as he went out, he was surrounded by a large group of reporters before he even reached the parking lot. Even though Warner's security guards tried to stop him, he was still unable to move forward.

"Mr. Smith, did Wayne Greenberg use a racial slur against you?"

"Will, let's talk about Director Greenberg's racial discrimination..."

"Will you speak out in support of Halle Berry? After all, you are the same color..."

Countless voices poured into Will Smith's ears, but he kept his agent's instructions in mind and remained silent. He will definitely not express any opinions now.

He walked towards the parking lot in silence under the protection of security guards.

In the studio, Nina took the phone and walked into the small conference room, waking up Wayne who was thinking. "Your mother's phone number, boss."

He took the phone and put it to his ear, listening to his mother's caring instructions.

"Mom, don't worry, I will solve this matter. Yes, I didn't say those words, and I didn't ask her to do those things. Okay, I will solve it as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne sighed. Even his mother who was far away on the farm in the suburbs called, which showed how big the matter was. The outside world must have all the news about him now.

Jimmy also opened the door and came back at this time, sitting down next to him. "I just asked the company, Halle Berry fired her agent a day ago and switched to William Morris, that bitch."

"Don't worry, Jimmy, there is a lot of weirdness in this matter. Even if she wanted to expose my racial discrimination, why did it take two days to give an interview? There is something wrong here, and which media was the first to spread the news on a large scale?"

Jimmy and Nina said the answer together: "NBC!"

Wayne has never lost his calm. Panic cannot solve any problem. What he has to do now is to consider the causes and consequences clearly and find ways to restore public opinion.

"I just turned on the TV and watched it again. Only the media and TV stations owned by Comcast are reporting this matter on a large scale. What does this mean?"

"This is a premeditated smear campaign, Cons, Carter, Cons... Universal Pictures?" Jimmy reacted immediately.

He didn't run away. According to his own reasoning, it was also the work of Universal Pictures. Only this Hollywood giant can mobilize so many media, and it is the media of the parent company. This is to use public opinion to kill him.

"Jimmy, I'm not suitable for the road now. You go and communicate with Warner and see what they think. Nina, let's go home first. I want to think about the solution."

After speaking, Wayne put out the cigarette in his hand and stood up to go out.

"Wait, Wayne." Jimmy stopped him and asked cautiously: "What about the filming problem of the crew? Will it continue tomorrow?"

"Continue, as long as the end of the world hasn't come yet, the filming cannot stop and the progress must not be delayed."

When Wayne's electric car arrived at the door, all the reporters from large and small media gathered in a huddle and blocked him. Countless microphones and recorders were placed in front of him.

At this time, he moved forward without saying a word. He knew that the more he said, the more he would be wrong. In this kind of thing, the vulnerable group always takes the moral high ground.

Under the protection of seven or eight security guards, just when they were about to squeeze in front of the car, a reporter asked a question loudly.

"Director Greenberg, shouldn't you apologize to Halle Berry? Shouldn't you apologize to the public? People of color across North America are waiting for your apology! Is it your fault for discriminating against people of color? Has your family influenced your education since childhood?"

He was already about to get in the car, but upon hearing this, Wayne immediately gave up and moved forward, turning back to look at the reporter with cold eyes. That's right, this is the female reporter who interviewed Halle Berry.

Seeing him stop, the reporter immediately put the microphone in front of his mouth. She hoped that the young man would be provoked and say something thoughtless.

"Are you so sure what Halle Berry said is true? So sure that I racially discriminated against her? What evidence do you have that you just say, apologize? I'm sorry, it's impossible to apologize, I didn't do anything."

After saying that, he immediately got into the car and drove forward slowly under the protection of security guards. Just when all the reporters thought he was about to leave, he unexpectedly stopped the car.

Wayne lowered the car window and asked the female reporter, "What's your name?"

"My name is Jeffrey Cass. Do you want to threaten me? Director Greenberg." When Wayne asked her name, she almost burst into joy. After all, the young man couldn't hold his breath.

"Ah, you can understand it this way, Ms. Cass, I will mail you a lawyer's letter. You must be responsible for your own remarks."

After saying that, without waiting for her to respond, he raised the glass and slowly accelerated away.

He never wanted to care about these little characters. After such a big thing happened, he didn't have the time to care about them. But what she said about the Wayne family completely stung his nerves.

It can be said that he has a perfect family in this life. He loves his father and mother very much and will never allow anyone to slander them.
