Hollywood Drawing

Fifty Four - Fried Fish

Parking the car at the manor, Wayne walked into the living room under Nina's worried eyes. When he first entered, dozens of reporters from large and small media were also surrounding the door of the house.

The first thing he did when he got home was to call Hela and ask her to contact the security company as soon as possible and hire a few security personnel. His home was too big, and no one could guarantee what those extreme personnel would do.

Naomi also came down from upstairs, sat with Nina, and looked at him worriedly.

"Nami." He was a little surprised to see the blond beauty sitting opposite. "You should go back to your own apartment now instead of coming here. I think your agent should have told you how powerful this is."

Naomi shook her head and said in a relaxed tone: "I fired her, now you need someone on your side."

Wayne smiled, genuinely smiled, this was the first good news he had heard today.

"What should we do now? The African-American actors on the crew were not in the right condition when I came back." Naomi's tone was full of worry. She felt that the film might die. "If things are not handled well, I'm afraid those African Americans will..."

"Don't be afraid, we can let the contract speak for itself." He is not worried about this. There are still many smart people in Hollywood. They know that before the matter is finalized, they must not let their minds wander.

"Are we just going to let that son of a bitch keep talking nonsense?" Naomi was very angry. She just came back and turned on the TV to watch the news. "She has no evidence at all, so why do all the media believe her and speak from her standpoint?"

"This kind of thing doesn't require evidence, Nami. As long as I can't prove that I didn't do it, the public will naturally side with her." Wayne has seen through this matter long ago. No matter who is behind it, It can be said that it hit him directly on the seven inches.

All he could do now was to steady himself, not panic, and wait for the heat to pass.

Early the next morning, various gossip tabloids, fearing for chaos in the world, reported the incident with sensational headlines. Except for the media related to Universal Pictures, major media and newspapers are relatively conservative. They only reported what happened. They did not tend to report randomly before they had specific information.

There is a reason for this because of Warner Bros. After all, this giant still has a relatively large reputation.

But those tabloids are different. What they like most is bloody news that can stimulate the public. This is obviously the case.

"Shameful racist..."

"He seriously lacks respect for women and is a perverted erotic maniac..."

"Wayne Greenberg, shameless discriminator..."

"Perverted..."

Various similar titles were thrown at Wayne's head as if they were free, as if these tabloids would never give up until they dragged him into the abyss.

Sitting in the car driven by Nina, he threw the newspaper in his hand behind. His mood was very stable and he had already guessed the result.

Having already said hello in advance, Nina drove directly into the studio and parked in front of the studio. After getting off the car, John was already waiting for him, and things were obviously still fermenting.

As they walked inside, John said: "Many organizations of people of color have protested, and groups such as the Women's Federation and women's equality organizations have published appeals in newspapers to unite women and hope to use legal means. .

Things are very troublesome and we are too passive now. Warner tried its best to suppress the reports of those major media, but it could not do anything about the TV networks and newspapers owned by Comcast. "

"That's enough, John." Wayne was not as angry and panicked as he imagined, and a calm expression remained on his face. "Let's focus on filming first. The popularity won't always be so high."

The good news is that the cast and crew came to work early in the morning, and the main African-American actors did not excuse themselves from taking leave because of this incident.

The bad thing is that things didn't go smoothly from the beginning of the filming. Various work mistakes would occur in even the simplest scenes. Wayne patiently waited for the crew to adjust. In his heart, nothing was as important as making a good film.

During the whole morning, everyone was distracted and only took three shots. There was nothing anyone could do about such a sudden accident.

When everyone was resting at noon, Jimmy brought two more newspapers, threw them on the table, and said helplessly: "Mel Gibson was interviewed by a reporter. He said that you are just a little kid who has not been educated well. You must have said those words, and I ask you to apologize to the public as soon as possible."

After speaking, he picked up the water and took a big sip, then pointed to another newspaper and said: "Now, this is what Morgan Freeman and Spike Lee said in an interview. They said they would unite all African-American groups and treat you Charge."

Now it's good, all kinds of monsters and monsters have popped up. Anyone who doesn't like him will come out and step on him. As expected, the rule of life in this circle is to trample on the high and add insult to injury.

"Hey, it would be great if we had evidence. That bitch dared to talk nonsense because she knew there was no one else in the office." Jimmy sighed. What happened in the past two days made him exhausted mentally and physically.

When Nina heard his complaint, she suddenly let out a sigh, ran out in high heels without even saying hello, got in her car and left the studio.

"What happened to her?" Jimmy was startled and asked Wayne in confusion.

"I don't know, maybe there's something urgent." He didn't care about Nina at the moment. He wanted to focus all his energy on the shooting to prevent himself from having random thoughts.

Just as the lunch break passed and Wayne was about to start working in the afternoon, Nina walked into the office, holding her bag in her arms with a mysterious expression.

Under Jimmy's and others' puzzled looks, she took out a DV from her bag and placed it in front of Wayne.

"The DV you gave me, I took it back that night and found it was out of battery. I haven't watched it since. I didn't remember until just now that when I left your office, I took a selfie of the two of us. The battery must have run out. It's DV that's been working.

I just went back to check and it was still out of battery, but after I replaced the battery and turned it on, the picture inside was absolutely surprising. "

After hearing her explanation, Wayne quickly opened the DV. Yes, there was only this long video in it.

Jimmy also came closer, and the three of them had their heads fixed on the small screen above. The first thing that appeared was Nina's sexy selfie. Not long after, Halle Berry walked into the office.

The scenes that happened later were not as clear as those captured by a film camera, but it was still clear enough for people to see what happened, and even what they said was recorded very clearly.

Seeing this, Wayne immediately put aside all his worries. Regardless of Jimmy who was staring at the screen, he stood up and gave his assistant a hug and whispered in her ear.

"Thank you, Nina, thank you."

"Well! Boss, you're welcome. How about this? I don't have to worry about losing my job this time, right?"

Yes, what Nina is most worried about is losing her job. She needs this high-paying job now to help her family. Otherwise, she would not leave an internship at a big Wall Street company and become a small assistant.

"Of course, you saved us all!" Looking at this ordinary-looking face, even the freckles next to her nose seemed so playful and vivid to him now. "As long as you are willing, you don't need to worry about this problem in the future."

After saying that, he turned his head, looked at his agent and said, "Go ahead and call John over secretly. Let's discuss how to use this thing."

With this practical and effective evidence, he can now say that it is beneficial to the invincible position, so he starts to have more ideas. Wayne has never been a nice guy who is easy to talk to. He has to find a way to teach those who make trouble a lesson.

A profound lesson.

"Wayne, what are you going to do?" After watching the video, John relaxed and leaned back in his chair. He was also very stressed. "I want to make a copy of this and take it back to Warner. Whether it's through our own media, newspapers, or television networks, this farce can be ended immediately."

Wayne held the cigarette between his fingers and tapped the table lightly. "No, John, you can make a copy and take it back, but don't rush to release it. In two days, I want to know who is planning all this behind the scenes, and I can't be beaten passively."

"When they can't help but jump out?"

"Yes, there will be people who can't help it. I'm a director, not a public figure standing in front of the stage. If they don't jump out and stab me while it's hot, they won't be able to hit me that easily."

Jimmy was a little worried, with a scared expression on his face. "Don't play with fire. The most important thing is to get out as soon as possible. All your energy should be focused on shooting."

"Don't worry Jimmy, with this thing, we are on the opposite side of failure, and there is absolutely no way we will be overturned by them again." John knew the power of this short ten-minute video, which could definitely destroy many people.

"In this way, I will stay in the studio and continue filming. John, you can go back to Warner with a video and use your company's channels to release the news. Say that I have the key evidence. I will be interviewed in two days and release this evidence. Let's see. Let’s see if we can blow up some big fish.”

Wayne's idea is very simple. He wants to find out who is messing with him. Halle Berry, who is still a small actor, will never make the topic so big at once.

He may not be able to do anything about it now, but as time goes by, there will always be a chance to give the other party a chance.

It can be clearly seen that the people behind the scenes want to beat him to death with a stick. If racial discrimination is really applied to his head, the best result will be that he can only make niche films in Hollywood, and it will be impossible to direct commercial films. Opportunity.

"No problem, I'll go back now." John obviously wanted to take advantage of this farce to cause trouble, and he already had a rough outline in his mind. "I will go back and discuss with the publicity department to release the news that we have evidence as soon as possible and try to blow up the fish as soon as possible."
