Chapter 2579 We Are Both Wanderers in This World
Tom Hanks doesn't have anyone to worry about right now. He really needs someone to worry about at this time.
Starting early in the morning, the driveway in front of his house was full of reporters with guns and cannons. Outside the courtyard wall, there were several broadcast trucks parked, and more than one host stood at the door to broadcast live. "As of now, We haven’t met Spielberg in person yet…”
"His company and spokesperson have not made any response to relevant issues..."
Since becoming famous, Spielberg has never enjoyed such treatment, because usually only emergencies can enjoy such treatment.
As for those emergencies that receive such attention, except for positive events such as becoming a hero in some emergencies, others are most likely to be negative events.
Such as murder cases, real extramarital affairs, hidden rules for actors and actresses...
Therefore, on this morning, Spielberg, who also enjoys a great reputation in the world film circle, looked out the window of his home at the positive and expectant media outside, and his mood was extremely bad.
There were many newspapers scattered on the ground nearby. All of them, without exception, contained that eye-catching statement, as well as similar reports that criticized him for using the Olympics to hype up, and ended with reports that directly questioned his character.
Coupled with criticism of Mia Farrow, these three things can be said to be standard features of many newspapers today.
Although Spielberg also has a loud voice that most Jews have, he is not an irritable person. After becoming famous, he has left a very artistic, elegant and kind image in front of the public, but now this The newspapers that were torn all over the floor were all written by him.
For a person like him who has achieved success in business, and now hopes to give himself the title of a master of both virtue and art, and has achieved staged achievements, the most unacceptable thing for him is to be criticized by others. Question your own character.
But even if it was torn into pieces, he could still see the reports that hurt his heart.
Feng Yiping!
This name has been lingering in his mind since last night.
He knew that if it weren't for Feng Yiping, there wouldn't be such a sudden disturbance.
At least, before last night, no one knew how much support he received from relevant Chinese departments and people when filming "Empire of the Sun", and no one knew that the consultant he resigned was a position he did not actually hold. .
Spielberg, who is not only a well-known director but also a well-known screenwriter, naturally has ways to defend himself, but he knows very well that no matter what reason he uses, it is impossible to perfectly whitewash the two men mentioned in the report. The incident exposed character issues.
As a director and gold medal screenwriter, he knows one truth too well: facts speak louder than words!
However, the few important points that Feng Yiping firmly grasped during the interview have left him with no basis for eloquence.
The statement made by those stars was also something that made his temples jump. Some of the people on the list have been in contact with him recently, hoping to play a role in his next work.
In fact, since yesterday morning, after roughly knowing what Feng Yiping was going to do, he and his public relations company called many celebrities on the list. After making some promises, they have received positive feedback from many of them. , but unexpectedly, they turned around and signed the statement without hesitation.
How shameless!
Just when he couldn't help gritting his teeth, the phone in the corner rang. After the maid who was putting away newspapers answered the call, she cautiously said to him, "Sir, Mr. Hanks's phone number."
Hanks, Spielberg felt a little warm in his heart. Fortunately, he still had such an old friend.
With the support of heavyweight Hollywood figures like them, Hollywood will eventually remain the same Hollywood where we feel at home. These things before us, like scabies, will soon pass.
"Tom, thank you," he said, relieved that Tom Hanks was the first to call to comfort him.
"Man, you gotta hang in there," Tom Hanks said.
Spielberg smiled proudly, "Haha, these are nothing,"
Tom Hanks was a little silent. I didn’t mean that, and what I’m going to tell you next may not be nothing.
But time was running out, so he had no choice but to speak quickly, "There's something I have to tell you now,"
Spielberg heard some ominous premonitions in Hanks' tone.
"Despite my dissent, my old friend Steven, my company and my agent asked me to come forward and issue a statement expressing our support for the statement in the newspaper,"
Spielberg shook.
"They are actually in a dilemma because they have received the exact information, including Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington, who are all contacting the media to discuss related issues,"
Spielberg held onto the wall.
"Steven, are you listening?"
"Tom, I'm here." Spielberg tried to speak as fast as possible, but in the end, he was extremely slow.
"My old friend, no matter what, I want you to know that we are always with you,"
"I think you must already know what happened in Paris. Under such circumstances, we have to compromise, and I have to respect the company's opinions,"
"Tom, I understand, yes, I understand very much, thank you for notifying me in advance," Spielberg's voice suddenly became louder, which scared the maid who was concentrating on collecting the torn newspapers.
"Then Steven, let's go to the game together in two days,"
"Okay, Tom," Spielberg said with a smile.
Seeing Spielberg standing there motionless after hanging up the phone, the maid called out carefully again, "Sir,"
"Hmm?" Spielberg turned around slowly.
"Are you okay?" The maid asked without thinking, because Spielberg's face was pale at this time.
But Spielberg's somewhat ferocious eyes made her lower her head immediately...
…………
In front of another mansion in Hollywood, although the scene was smaller than that in front of Spielberg's door, it was also unusually lively.
This was once what the owner of the mansion, Mia Farrow, once expected, but at this time, she had no courage to face it.
This family, which she usually talked about as the Little United Nations, was as silent as dead water at this time.
None of the children who were still at home spoke at this time.
You know, on ordinary days, they are very lively, especially since there are more than a dozen of them, speaking 6 languages because of their different birthplaces - this is also the main reason why Mia Farrow claims that her family is a small United Nations.
In the past two years, Mia Farrow has been very active in promoting her theories everywhere, but today she is also very quiet.
She only pays attention when the phone rings suddenly.
Last night, she called Ronan Farrow, her most satisfied child and one of her few biological children. Since then, this son who made her proud has not answered her calls.
She also received a lot of calls. Some newspapers and TV stations that she hoped to be interviewed in the past have called her and invited her to go on the show. Before yesterday, this was a good opportunity that she had been begging for, but now, she didn't dare to agree rashly, so she didn't even dare to answer the phone and pushed it all to the maid.
But there was one call that she had been waiting for, from last night to now.
Unfortunately, she never waited for it, and now she estimated that she might never wait for that call again.
That was the call from UNICEF.
That was related to the title she valued most.
After thinking for a long time, she sent a message to her agent, asking them to contact them and test the waters.
Just five minutes later, the waters came back, which was exactly the result she didn't want. "They are all busy," the agent told her, "No one wants to communicate with us."
Mia Farrow's heart sank immediately after hearing this. It seemed that the situation was moving irreversibly in a direction she didn't want.
She looked at the media outside and was very unwilling.
Half an hour later, the reporters were surprised to see that the door of Mia Farrow's house was actually opened, and the flash lights immediately flashed densely.
Mia Farrow walked quickly to the reporters, and just as she got in front of a bunch of microphones, before she spoke, a reporter shouted a question, "Why are you wearing this today?"
This is actually a question that many reporters present wanted to ask.
In the bright and sunny April, Mia Farrow's clothes today are as heavy and tight as if she is on vacation in the Arctic.
What can Mia Farrow say, do you know that despair is colder than winter?
