Chapter 288: suddenly

Seek starting point subscription, monthly ticket, collection, recommendation ticket

Almost at the same time, the crew of "Blade Warrior" who had just walked out of a TV station was suddenly stopped by a group of people. The other party looked very serious. It seemed that they should be members of the law enforcement department.

The producer of the film, Stan Lee, frowned, suddenly had a bad feeling, stepped forward, and asked, "May I ask what you want!"

One of the leaders, a middle-aged man, took out a certificate with the English abbreviation of IRS written on it, walked around Stan-Lee, looked at Wesley-Snipes faintly, "Mr. Wesley, we have enough There is no evidence to suspect that you are suspected of filing a false tax refund application, please go back with us to assist in the investigation.”

The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service of the United States, which is part of the Treasury Department.

It's a very scary department, much scarier even than the FBI.

Once there are false declarations, fraud, etc., the IRS will pursue it indefinitely, and it is very likely that the tax filings from more than ten years ago will be dug up and re-examined.

Stan Lee's complexion changed, and he suddenly turned around to look at Wesley Snipes, who was pale. His heart sank, and a bad premonition reappeared.

There was a look of panic in Wesley-Snipes' eyes, and his voice became hoarse. "I need to be notified. My lawyer."

"Without a lawyer present, I have the right to refuse to answer any questions."

Before he could finish speaking, several staff members from the IRS stepped forward and took Wesley-Snipes away.

The rest of the crew looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only watch Wesley-Snipes being led out of the TV station gate by the IRS.

The executive producer, Peter Frankfort, said in a low voice, "There's something wrong with this matter. The IRS actually came to a TV station to arrest people. Don't you think it's too coincidental!"

Stan-Lee also noticed something was wrong, "Stop talking, and notify Orion Films immediately."

"I'm afraid we're in trouble this time."

The IRS rarely takes people away for no reason. Unless there is sufficient evidence, Wesley-Snipes is likely to face multiple charges and even be sentenced to prison.

For the upcoming Blade, there will certainly be some negativity.

At the same time, Ryan glanced at Qixi Lords in the car, turned to Stephen Norrington, and said, "Is this the friend you were talking about?"

He was somewhat entangled, the Qixi-Laurz in front of him was indeed charming, she could be described as a stunner, and she was also a stunner with great skills.

But her technique is so good that it can no longer be described as experienced, and there is inevitably a trace of resistance in her heart.

Stephen Norrington smiled awkwardly, and was about to speak when a person hurried out from the entrance of the office building of Orion Films.

John-Denise could be heard yelling in the distance, "Something went wrong!"

"Wesley-Snipes was taken away by the IRS in front of the TV station on suspicion of filing a false tax return."

"What did you say!" Before Ryan could react, Stephen Norrington's face changed drastically, "How is that possible!"

Being suspected of tax evasion in the United States is not a trivial matter. Many rich people, gang bosses and some people who are helpless even the FBI have fallen into the hands of the IRS, and there is almost no room for relaxation.

"Wesley-Snipes!"

"This **** bastard, I'm going to kill him." His expression was terrified.

"Stephen, that's enough." Ryan snorted, "Go back first, I'll take care of this matter."

After finishing speaking, Ryan turned back to look at Qixi-Lords, hesitated for a moment, took out a personal business card and handed it to her, "Miss Qixi, we can have dinner together when we have time."

Qixi Lords took the business card gracefully, with a hint of joy on her pretty face, "I will, Mr. Gosling."

Ryan nodded to her, turned and walked towards the door of the office building.

Now he has no intention of having any in-depth communication with her, so he can only talk about it later.

The first time he returned to the office, Ryan immediately took out his phone and asked someone to find out the inside story of this matter.

No matter whether this incident was premeditated or an unexpected incident, it is impossible to suppress it, and it will definitely be reported by the media.

The most important thing right now is to know exactly what happened and how serious it is. The IRS will not bring people back for no reason to assist in the investigation, especially when it comes to a Hollywood actor.

Not long after, Nancy Utley came in from the outside with a solemn expression, "I asked someone to inquire about it. I'm afraid this matter will be very troublesome."

"Wesley-Snipes can't help but be suspected of false tax returns, and the IRS has important evidence."

"One was a 1996 tax return of more than $4 million, and the other was a 1997 tax return of more than $7.3 million."

"It's very difficult for us to defend him."

After listening, Ryan could only sigh, "Try to minimize the impact of this matter."

"Also called Wesley-Snipes who insisted that he was framed."

If it were the FBI, there would be a slight leeway, but the IRS!

At least Orion Pictures couldn't.

It's almost impossible to change anything unless that evidence can be proven false.

"I see." Nancy Utley nodded silently and turned to leave the office.

In this regard, Ryan has no good solution. He can only say that he is another idiot who cannot do legal tax avoidance. Be smart!

If you have to make a false tax refund application, you are looking for death.

The only thing he didn't expect was that it would happen so quickly.

It was not until 2006 in the previous life that Wesley-Snipes was taken away by the IRS on multiple charges, including false tax refund applications, and was sentenced to three years in prison.

In the evening, the matter about Wesley-Snipes was aroused by the media, and many newspapers and TV stations ridiculed it.

"'Blade' star Wesley Snipes has been taken in public by the IRS and is about to face multiple charges."

"God, I can't believe it. An actor suspected of false tax refunds has become the lead actor of "Blade Warrior", an embodiment of justice!"

"Wesley Snipes, a shameless tax dodger, get out of Hollywood!"

News like this can be described as overwhelming. All kinds of vitriolic language are almost used on Wesley-Snipes. Some media even directly boycotted the release of "Blade Warrior".

Any idiot can see that, from the time Wesley Snipes was taken away by the IRS, everything was directed at Orion Pictures and "Blade Runner".

"Blade Warrior" is a superhero movie. Blade is an incarnation of justice that protects the living space of mankind, but his actor is a shameless tax evader, which is simply the biggest satire in Hollywood history.

Let a criminal guard humanity?

What a joke!

Unless it is a substitution, this incident will inevitably bring about a chain reaction.

With "Blade" still a few days away, it's impossible to delete the Wesley-Snipes scene and find someone else to shoot it, even without time for cutouts.

The theater company has already proposed that it hopes that Orion Films will change the release time and wait until the incident subsides.

In this way, Orion Pictures will lose a lot of publicity expenses, plus transportation, copying, storage and other expenses, at least tens of millions of dollars.

Looking at the newspaper on the table, Ryan thought for a while, then reached out to pick up the phone and dialed a number, "Arnold, there is something terrible that I need to trouble you for."

Briefly said about Wesley-Snipes.

"IRS!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger thought about it for a while, "This matter is very troublesome, and few people can influence the IRS."

Arnold - Schwarzenegger is not only a few years ago the Hollywood action superstar, he publicly stated his intention to leave Hollywood last month, ready to run for office.

To put it bluntly, it is to prepare for the election for the governor of California, and Arnold Schwarzenegger's status in the Republican Party is not low.

"It doesn't need to affect the IRS decision."

Ryan organized his words, "Temporarily suppress this matter for a while, and just release Wesley Snipes on bail first."

"In return, Orion Films and I can support you in the election for public office."

Once the viewing period of "Blade Runner" is over, he doesn't bother to care whether Wesley-Snipes is dead or alive.

The big deal is to temporarily freeze the shooting plan of this series of films until Wesley Snipes is released from prison.

In the United States, except for a few incidents such as racial discrimination, abuse, and rape, the impact on the career of actors is far less than imagined.

Robert Downey Jr. is the best example.

"I can try it." Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to agree. With the support of Ryan and Orion Films, at least he can get a lot of campaign funds in the future.

Furthermore, with the influence of Orion Films, he will be able to win the support of many Hollywood stars in the future, which will be very helpful for his campaign.

However, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com At noon the next day, Arnold Schwarzenegger called and expressed regret that there was nothing he could do. The IRS had formally decided to prosecute Wesley Snipes and refused to apply for bail.

However, he introduced another Republican, George Walker Bush, who was just elected governor of Texas, a member of the Bush family who has great influence and connections in the political world.

Ryan met with his agent that afternoon, and the other party readily agreed to keep the matter under wraps for a while so that Wesley Snipes would be eligible for bail.

The only requirement is that the next film of Orion Films needs to be shot in Texas.

In this regard, Ryan agreed, and even implicitly stated that he could provide campaign funds.

For a long time in the future, this man will have big golden legs, which is worthy of investment from him and Orion Films.
