Chapter 940: Spielberg is in trouble

Mo Tianxiang came over very respectfully and said, "Mr. Ye, on behalf of the Directors Guild, I would like to express my most sincere greetings about what happened on the set of Minority Report."

No matter what it was, Mo Tianxiang's expression was one of great respect, and his greetings were sincere and not false at all. Ye Ming nodded and said, "Thank you, what do you want from me?"

Ye Ming's performance at this moment was also remarkable. No matter how it was, Ye Ming showed the angry expression of a victim and did not have a good attitude towards Mo Tianxiang.

This is also the attitude that a victim should have. Anyone who has just arrived in Hollywood and is sent directly to the hospital will not be in a good mood.

But Mo Tianxiang still said very politely: "This is how it goes. My Sassy Girl has been shortlisted for the Korean Golden Bell Award. I am entrusted by the Directors Association to officially invite you to participate in this edition of the Blue Dragon Award."

Such an invitation is impeccable, and there is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. If you are invited, you will have a greater chance of winning. For example, if you invite Ye Ming to the Blue Dragon Award, it means that Ye Ming wins the Blue Dragon Award. The opportunity is great.

Even the Oscars like to give awards to obedient stars.

Chaplin is one of the greatest film actors in history and a film master, but he adopted an uncooperative attitude. It was not until his later years that he received a consolation Oscar. If this is not a trick at all, then Almost impossible. There is also Morgan Freeman, whose acting skills are also superb, but he has never won the title of Best Actor. This has to be said to be the tragedy of racial discrimination. If Morgan Freeman were a white man, he would have been awarded the title of Best Actor with such high acting skills.

For example, Leonardo is an example. The young man who became emperor is inseparable from the fact that he is white. Anyway, the award ceremony is just that. You may not win the award if you are obedient, but you will definitely not win if you are disobedient. prize.

Of course, for a small award like the Blue Dragon Award, if a superstar of Ye Ming's level is invited to attend, then there must be a result in such a thing, that is, the Blue Dragon Award will definitely give Ye Ming an important The awards are either for best director or best actor. Anyway, if you dare to invite Ye Ming, you must compromise.

Ye Ming was also very aware of this. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Go back and tell them that I will make time to go there."

No more, there were only so many conversations between Mo Tianxiang and Ye Ming, and then Mo Tianxiang sent a fruit basket to Ye Ming to express his condolences. It seemed that Ye Ming was still a little impatient and waved his hand to ask him to leave quickly.

These things were heard very clearly by the nurse on the side, and this nurse was bribed by Jeffrey to spy on the information.

To say that agents are everywhere, betrayal is also everywhere. In such a situation, no matter how it is, betraying Ye Ming will not cause any psychological pressure on the Shanghai stock market, and it will get a lot of benefits. Not a small extra reward. After Jeffrey got the news, he went directly to Spielberg and reported the matter in detail.

Spielberg pondered for a moment and said with confusion about this matter: "Is it just such a simple conversation? Maybe I am overly concerned. Although Koreans and Chinese people are polite on the surface, But no matter what it is, Koreans and Chinese people now prefer to stab each other in the back. Let’s check if there is any award in Korea and whether Ye Ming is really invited to participate.”

As a director, Spielberg is very clear about the Blue Dragon Award, and as a major Hollywood director, he has a dismissive attitude towards the Blue Dragon Award. In his opinion, only the Golden Dragon Award The Ball Awards and the Oscars are the real film awards. The other awards are garbage and have no qualifications to be remembered by him.

Jeffrey's attitude towards doing things is still very serious. In less than half an hour, he went out for a walk and called several friends in Korea. It was very clear that he wanted to find out such a thing. .

Jeffrey came back and reported: "Director, according to the people from the Korean Directors Association, that is indeed the case. The people from the Korean Directors Association did invite Ye Ming to attend the Blue Dragon Award ceremony.

Because Koreans believe that in order to increase their reputation for the Golden Dragon Award, they must invite big stars. It is difficult for them to invite our Hollywood stars, but hiring stars like Ye Ming who have only half-stepped into Hollywood is their best choice.

And I heard that the Directors Association offered Ye Ming very generous conditions for this purpose. "

Although the conditions have not been found out, it is enough to find out these. Moreover, on such a good issue, Spielberg is not very concerned about this issue. He is just concerned about Ye Ming. There was no movement on the side.

After all, the first victim this time was Ye Ming, so he had to comfort Ye Ming. Of course, Tom Cruise must also be comforted.

At this time, Spielberg thought for a while and said: "Well, you go and make arrangements to improve the treatment of Ye Ming and Tom Cruise, and unify the tone with them. Such a question, answer the reporter's question Questions must be asked in a unified manner.

Please pay attention to some people and ask them to go abroad quickly. I don't want reporters to find them. "

As an experienced actor, in such a situation, Spielberg is very aware of the importance of unifying his voice in front of reporters. Otherwise, it will be a huge blow to his crew.

This time, Spielberg said what several directors agreed upon was that this was food poisoning, an accidental food poisoning. At least until the police did not announce the truth, this would be considered a case of food poisoning.

As for those who said they were going abroad, they were naturally Jack and Brad. If they weren't worried that Jeffrey was also talking nonsense, Spielberg would have fired him directly.

But if a person like this does not use it well, it will bring him considerable trouble.

Therefore, even Spielberg has to deal with it carefully.

After all, Jeffrey knew too many of his secrets. Therefore, he could not touch Jeffrey for the time being, and he had to do his best to appease Jeffrey to prevent him from betraying him.

If it is about Jeffrey's rebellion, then in such a situation, the whole thing will be revealed directly to those who really want to know.

If this happens, it will have disastrous consequences for the entire crew. This is something Spielberg doesn't want to see. Therefore, Spielberg is still very clear about how to deal with Jeffrey. The only way to win over is to win over.

At least Jeffrey was going to be around until Minority Report was released.

Therefore, Spielberg knows this matter very well. To be a top director in Hollywood, talent alone is not enough.

Spielberg was on strict guard, but the reporter used all the connections at his disposal to investigate the matter directly.

I have to say that the paparazzi in the United States are also very powerful. They can almost reconstruct this matter from some clues.

If the American police could have the speed of paparazzi, then this matter would be easier to solve.

And it means that in such a matter, no matter what it is, at this time it is the result of a battle between the crew and the reporter. One wants to desperately cover up the truth of the matter, and the other desperately wants to uncover the truth of the matter.

At this time, Old Brown of [USA Today] looked at today's newspaper helplessly and said, "Has the New York Post not published it yet?"

This is a very strange thing. According to the publishing time of the New York Post, it will be published before two o'clock in the afternoon. This is the basic rule, but this time, the New York Post seems to be late, until There was no sign of today's New York Post at 2:30, which made Old Brown very suspicious.

What exactly do these New York Post guys want to do? This kind of situation will only happen when big things happen, sudden news that can shock people's attention. Tony said with certainty. : "This is absolutely true. I have asked about this matter. The New York Post has just come out of major printing plants and is preparing for delivery. This process takes at least half an hour. In other words, the New York Post is faster than the standard The time was half an hour late. This has happened before, but there are reasons for this, such as the sudden death of Princess Diana."

After all, such sudden big news is rare. Old Brown thought for a while and said: "The news this time is not a sensational news. It is just that it has something to do with Spielberg, which aroused everyone's attention." Pay attention. But this time I feel that I went there for Spielberg’s new movie. It seems that the New York Post has some inside information that we cannot account for. And this inside information should be sensational. Go check it out. This There should be some details inside that we don’t know about, so we must find out.”

There was no need to check this matter, because the New York Post had already started publishing. Soon, the newspaper was delivered to Old Brown. When he saw the news on the front page of the New York Post, Old Brown sighed. Said: "I know that according to Qi Dan's cautious approach, if he does not have a certain degree of certainty, then he will not postpone the publication time of the newspaper casually. Sure enough, there is a problem, and there is a big problem. The problem is, this stubborn guy, Spielberg, is in trouble.

And it is a big trouble. If this matter is not handled well, the result will be that he will be very passive. "

The headline in the newspaper was very shocking, [Minority Report crew suspected of racial discrimination] This was a slap in the face headline, although many reporters also speculated on the possibility of this. Moreover, some reporters even vaguely mentioned in the news that Chinese star Ye Ming might have been plotted.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, many reporters do not have conclusive evidence at this time. Even if they mention it, it is to express their doubts and a speculation, which cannot be considered as evidence. If there is no evidence that reporters wrote things randomly, then Spielberg can definitely sue them.

Therefore, even if a reporter mentioned this matter, he would always use the third person, or refer to a staff member of the crew, or one of the extras, to express his own point of view.

And in the news, such news accounts for a very small proportion, while Spielberg and Tom Cruise still occupy the vast majority of the page.

At a time like this, the New York Post even went so far as to risk the world's disapproval and directly use this news as a headline. At this time, even an adventurous person like Old Brown felt that , Qi Dan is a little crazy. No wonder his New York Post was delayed by an hour because he was waiting for news like this.

If, if this news is true, it is indeed explosive news. Therefore, Old Brown read the news like this without hesitation.

And the more I read, the more I feel the insidiousness of Zidan. According to Old Brown’s understanding of Zidan’s opponent, it seems that this guy is not that insidious. But looking at this news, no matter what angle you look at the problem from, That's all full of insidious flavor.

Someone is definitely trying to plot against the Minority Report crew. To be precise, it was to plot against Spielberg.

In such a situation, it would be difficult to design such a sophisticated trap without success.

The news was very simple. They directly pulled out Jeffrey from the Minority Report crew, and the other two people who were pulled out were the hotel chefs Jack and Brad. They were the third brother involved. These three people planned to use Croton powder, a laxative produced in China, was used to treat Ye Ming, a Chinese star. It is unknown why, or it was a technical error. Not only Ye Ming was infected, but also Spielberg and many other crew members. All the big names were unlucky.

Moreover, the New York Post swore that it had video as evidence, because some of the chefs liked to steal things, and there was more than one surveillance camera in the kitchen. As a result, the transactions of Jeffrey, Jack Bullard and others were all videotaped. Therefore, no refutation is allowed at all, this is the fact. Now it’s time to see how Spielberg responds to this matter. (To be continued)
