Made in Hollywood

Several Jewish people gathered in a small circle. As members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, their topic is naturally inseparable from tonight's Golden Globe Awards and the upcoming Oscars.

"Saving Private Ryan is really good, and Duke Rosenberg has clearly improved, but I don't think he's the best director."

This old man with white hair and a slightly bulging forehead is called Arthur Miller, and he said to several companions around him, "He is too young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. At this time, giving him an Oscar may become a hindrance. ... I think Mel Gibson is still a good fit."

"Mr. Miller, I don't see it that way."

Although the other party will serve as the new rotating chairman of the academy after the Oscars, and may become his father-in-law this year, Daniel Day-Lewis does not agree with his statement, "Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan" The commercial flavor is too strong, the artistic expression is not strong, I think Tim Robbins and his "Death Ramble" are more suitable."

"Have you forgotten?" Frank Pearson suddenly reminded, "Duke Rosenberg is naturally one of us."

Several people were silent at the same time.

Arthur Miller, a Hollywood veteran and Marilyn Monroe's ex-husband, nodded approvingly, "Frank, you're right. If he's ten years older, even Roger Eber Ter and David Demby call me ten times a day, and I'll..."

Daniel Day-Lewis suddenly pulled him, Arthur Miller stopped what he didn't say, because Tina Brown of "Vanity Fair" and David Firth of "Los Angeles Times" came over, and they had something to say. It's okay to talk privately, but it's not appropriate to talk to people who work in the media.

"Mr. Miller, Mr. Pierson..."

As the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair. Tina Brown's communicative skills are slick, trying to get some information about Oscar from these trainee members, especially the core members like Arthur Miller and Frank Pierce, but these two are also old foxes , which can easily reveal the news.

The atmosphere here can not help but a little stagnant. Also seems quieter.

Tina Brown wouldn't give up easily if she couldn't dig out the big news. She tried again, "Mr. Miller, I heard..."

"Duke Rosenberg, you damn Jewish pig!"

A sudden roar interrupted her words, and Tina Brown turned her head immediately. Out of professional habit, I took out the pen and notepad from the handbag hanging on my wrist.

Beside him, David Firth, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times entertainment section, is doing almost the same thing. He immediately took out a pen and a small notebook from the inner pocket of his suit.

Damn kosher pigs?

As a Jewish person, especially Arthur Miller and Frank Pierce, who were born before World War II and experienced dark years, are very sensitive to this almost roaring remark. I looked there for the first time.

Daniel Day Lewis and several other Jews also looked over.

Just as they turned their heads. The angry voice sounded again, "Do you think you can cover up the guilt of the Jews by filming "Saving Private Ryan"? Jewish pigs should be responsible for all the wars in the world..."

In an instant, all the sounds in the vicinity disappeared. Countless pairs of eyes looked towards this side, but the drunken and angry voice did not stop, "Everyone with Jewish blood is a bunch of junk! You can't control Hollywood!"

Many people in the banquet hall were stunned and did not understand what happened.

Tina Brown's hands are shaking, it's not anger, it's excitement, Mel Gibson openly insulting Duke Rosenberg... no, insulting all Jews and Jewish people, this is Vanity Fair's annual Can't wait for the big news!

David Firth wrote down Mel Gibson's words intact. Tomorrow...tomorrow...the United States will be a sensation, right? Even if they don't make a splash, they'll make a splash!

Those dim yellow eyes burst into sharp gazes. Arthur Miller has rarely had such an angry moment in recent years. He was just trying to push Mel Gibson to win the Oscar. Now this guy is actually in the To insult all Jewish people in public is no less than slapping him in the face and asking these old friends to think of him?

Frank Pearson looked at Mel Gibson coldly. If he was 30 years younger... no, even if he was 20 years younger, he would definitely throw away this so-called gentleman's grade and go up and beat the savage. .

Everyone is looking over here, looking at Mel Gibson and the other protagonist of the event... Duke.

The savage opposite is like a drunken gorilla, with a mouth full of swear words like Jewish pigs. The voice is so loud and attractive that even Sophie Marceau can't take off her clothes here. .

It totally exceeded Duke's best expectations and made it easy for him to get there.

Mel Gibson's mouth was still snorting, and the face three feet away looked extremely hideous and abominable. A large hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed Duke's collar, and took the lead.

At this moment, Duke would hesitate, clenching his right hand into a fist, the right arm that could easily throw a 70-yard pass suddenly slammed out and hit Mel Gibson on the right face, with a The drunken swear words stopped abruptly, and Gibson was driven back a few steps by his back-swinging head.

Before he could come back to his senses, a middle-aged man appeared next to him and put his foot on Gibson's lap.

This sudden change made Duke stunned for a while, but he didn't feel surprised when he saw who jumped out. It was Daniel Day Lewis, a British street gangster who was known for his weird temperament. The Jewish actor, just as he is recognized for his acting skills, is recognized for his elusive temperament.

In other words, he can be regarded as an artist among ruffians and gangsters.

This commotion naturally alarmed many people. Immediately after Daniel Day-Lewis stepped out, someone ran between Duke and Mel Gibson, completely isolating them.

Standing on the periphery, Tom Cruise has been acting as a bystander. Now he feels very comfortable. Suddenly, Duke Rosenberg is also a good partner. That punch really made him feel good, the most important thing. At one point, he knew that Mel Gibson's career would completely usher in a turning point from high to low.

Racial discrimination is a forbidden area that public figures cannot touch. Tom Cruise is very clear about this. If the other person is insulting a black person, he will use some excuses such as drunkenness to apologize earnestly. If you stay silent for a year or two, there will always be a chance to turn over. , but he insulted Jews, and all Jews, and in front of Hollywood veterans like Arthur Miller and Frank Pearson!

And well-known media people like Tina Brown and David Firth, would they let such news go? How influential are Vanity Fair and the Los Angeles Times? How many of the executives and shareholders behind them are Jewish? Will they spare Mel Gibson such a blatant insult to the Jewish community?

You are done!

Tom Cruise gave a mocking look over there, and began to think about how to get down on his own side.

Shaking his aching right hand, he looked at Mel Gibson indifferently through the crowd. The other party kept shaking his head under the isolation of the security and the waiters at the venue, as if he wanted to wake up.

Looking back, Duke stopped looking at Mel Gibson. This savage wanted to use despicable means to turn him into a strong criminal and a miserable person like Roman Polanski. Of course, he had to make a heavyweight response. Just don't know if Mel Gibson can handle the stress of this storm.

Jews have always been sensitive. It is no exaggeration to say that Jewish groups have persecution paranoia. Especially in the Hollywood circle, any anti-Semitic tendency will attract violent counterattacks from Jewish clubs.

What was the cause of the incident? Arthur Miller has no interest in probing. There are things you can think about and say in private, but when you say it in public, you have to pay a price.

"Frank..." He said to the side, "You are responsible for contacting our friends in the media, and this matter cannot be suppressed."

"Daniel..."

Daniel Day-Lewis, who had walked back, looked at him, and Arthur Miller continued, "If you need a witness, can you help?"

"It's my duty."

The Oscar winner nodded without thinking. He understood that he had the status he has now, and the support of certain forces played a big role.

And there are so many people present, how can this kind of thing be suppressed.

Duke is also aware of this, so he deliberately chose the celebration party after the Golden Globe Awards to try whether the drunk Mel Gibson is really as arrogant and open-mouthed as he used to be. It's been ten years, but Mel Gibson's ideas about Jews are deeply ingrained.

Even the worst results can get rid of Mel Gibson's best director.

At some point, Duke found Sophia Coppola walking beside him and whispered in his ear, "I just saw Arthur Miller, his face is ugly."

"Monroe's ex-husband and the next president of the college?"

Seeing Sophia nodding, Duke's mouth turned up slightly. If it wasn't in public, he would have laughed a few times. The other party has been deeply rooted in Hollywood for decades and has an extremely wide influence.

Putting away his unremarkable smile, Duke leaned into Sophia's ear and said, "You inform Nancy and Panney Kelly, and Warner and Fox about this, I remember Disney still owes me a favor. , Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz are also Jewish, and they should do something too."

The night was long and a storm had just begun. (To be continued ~^~)
