Harvey Weinstein can be said to be a master in this area, and he has also created a series of Oscar tragedies.

Although Oscar never speaks on a moral level, relying on film works, the impact of some negative news is real. For example, when Harvey Weinstein attacked Roman Polanski, although Roman Polanski got his wish and was crowned the best However, "The Pianist" lost the best picture award when it was unanimously favored by the outside world. Among them, Harvey Weinstein instigated the media to bring up the credit for the case of strong young children.

The same case is Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain".

These negative effects are real and cannot be ignored.

Since the beginning of the awards season, many people have taken advantage of the Catholic Church to attack Murphy and "Dark City", saying that the film instigates people to commit crimes and other topics, obviously to suppress the momentum of "Dark City".

Especially now that December 31 is getting closer and closer, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is about to start voting for the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards, and there are more and more news that are not conducive to "Dark City".

Murphy can see clearly that many of them come from Leonardo DiCaprio, because among these negative news, the most attacks on the role of the magician and his actor James Franco, although twenty Century Fox, Stanton Studios, and James Franco have never officially announced the competition for best actor, but the declaration has been submitted long ago, and it is easy for outsiders to know.

Moreover, CAA will not support Matthew McConaughey too much, and fully assist James Franco to win the best actor, as long as he is interested, it is not difficult to find out. [Fights Break the Sphere]

Apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio sees James Franco as his number one contender for the Best Actor Oscar this year.

Leonardo DiCaprio has conflicts with Murphy, but he has no conflict with James Franco, and even has a little friendship, but the best actor Oscar is ahead, and these friendships are nothing at all .

James Franco was there when Murphy, Gal Gadot and Bill Rossis discussed how to deal with Leonardo DiCaprio last month, and he never objected.

Competition is the most normal situation in this circle.

However, compared to Leonardo DiCaprio's aggressiveness, Murphy and James Franco have been silent. This silence is not showing weakness, but waiting!

On the one hand, waiting for the detailed investigation results of professionals hired by CAA; on the other hand, waiting for the most suitable opportunity.

The voting for nominations for the eighty-sixth Academy Awards is approaching, and it is undoubtedly a very good time.

Just after Christmas, several media outlets under 20th Century Fox and the Fox Entertainment Channel, as well as many Internet sites and social platforms, broke a news at the same time.

"It was exposed that Leonardo DiCaprio was suspected of being involved in the largest money laundering case in the history of the world!"

Such a title is not without horror!

The following content will also shock the viewers.

"According to reliable sources, the well-known foundation 1mdb was misappropriated from 2009 to 2013. The scale of funds was as high as 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. These funds were illegally transferred through bank accounts in the United States, Singapore, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other places, and then flowed into some high-ranking officials in Malaysia. pockets... 1mdb has become a tool for their money laundering. [Indestructible Dragon Emperor]”

"Some of the money went to Leonardo DiCaprio's various charitable foundations."

"This part of the money is related to many corruption cases in the Malaysian political situation,

The core figure is Low Chott, a close friend of many high-ranking Malaysian officials who is often active in Hollywood. Low Chott is the core figure of the 1mdb foundation! "

"Liu Zuote has a close friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio. According to people close to Leonardo DiCaprio, Liu Zuote has been Leonardo's partner since at least 2010. Fixed 'drinking buddy'."

"It is thanks to the investment of Low Zuote that Raza Aziz, the son of a high-ranking official who has a decisive influence in Malaysia's political situation, and Joey McFarlane jointly established Red Rock Films!"

"As we all know, this company is the investor of "The Great Gatsby" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. At the end of the movie, the subtitles also read 'Special Thanks: Liu Zuote' typeface."

"There are definite documents that show that most of the funds invested in "The Great Gatsby" came from the 1mdb foundation. After the funds were converted into legitimate film income, they were transferred to Malaysia through special accounts and channels. Some of the people and the accounts of Leonardo DiCaprio's numerous charitable foundations."

"It was revealed that Liu Zuote's illegally embezzled funds were not only used to invest in Leonardo DiCaprio's films, but also contributed a lot to his foundation. In this year's Leonardo DiCaprio At O's birthday party, Low and Joey McFarlane bought more than $3 million in champagne as a fundraiser for Leonardo DiCaprio's charitable fund, the source of which is unknown. "

"Leonardo DiCaprio, who became popular with "Titanic" in 1997, established the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund in 1998. Since 2008, the foundation has contributed to 48 A total of 112 projects in 3 countries donated $59 million."

"Leonardo DiCaprio's fund was set up as a donor-advised fund (daf), which is not a non-profit fund per se. The fund is attached to the California Community Fund, which is a non-profit fund. According to According to local regulations in the United States, the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund does not need to publish its income and expenditure details, and it is difficult for people to understand its financial status.

"While the operation of the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund is opaque, Leonardo DiCaprio is too close to the main suspect in the 1mdb money laundering case, and the numerous economic exchanges between the two parties also make people Doubt, is this Hollywood superstar involved in a very serious international money laundering case?"

“Questions were raised early on about the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation: who pays the six employees of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation? who pays for the events and other What is the total management fee of the fund? How much of the funds raised is spent on fund operators and how much is actually used for charity?”

"These opaque options may all facilitate international money laundering!"

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Leonardo DiCaprio slowly put down the newspaper in his hand. Just after Christmas, he saw the news on the Internet, and then hurriedly asked for an internal investigation, and Call Liu Zuote himself and question the source of those funds.

To some extent, he really does not know the source of funding for 1mdb, or more precisely, he does not want to know at all.

Leonardo DiCaprio never asked, and Liu Zuote never mentioned that all matters were basically handled by the employees of the foundation, and he himself never participated.

In this way, even if something happens, it will be easier to pick yourself out.

But what Leonardo DiCaprio didn't expect was that it was only circulated on the Internet at the beginning. On the second day, not only Fox News participated in the report, but even appeared in the just-published "Hollywood Reporter" Got related news...

In this way, Leonardo DiCaprio never guessed that someone must be behind this matter.

He turned his head and looked to the south through the huge glass window. A few miles away was the Wave Manor!

"You..." He looked over there and murmured, "You really hold a grudge! It's just such a trivial matter, and you still want to hold on to me!"

Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't help but shook his head, he just pushed behind the original author of "The Wolf of Wall Street", who knew that Murphy Stanton not only turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, but also chased after him Hold on to him, and even now destroy his grand plan for the Olympic Games.

Although it is very clear that even if these things are done, it will not bring much legal trouble to him, but Leonardo DiCaprio understands better that there are so many reports in the media, and there is something to be said. Based on the evidence, especially if "The Great Gatsby" is involved, he will certainly be affected in his bid for Best Actor Oscar.

Having been in this industry for nearly thirty years, Leonardo DiCaprio is also a person who is used to seeing strong winds and waves. He has encountered all kinds of situations. Although this time the matter was a bit tricky, he did not panic, but Constantly making phone calls, discussing countermeasures with the team behind and people from the 1mdb foundation.

Panic and rage won't help. It's so simple. How could Leonardo DiCaprio not be the kid he used to be?

Besides, even if there is such news, he may not lose! Just like he launched a force to attack James Franco, he didn't think he would win by doing so.

Calls were made one after another, and calls came in one after another. Leonardo DiCaprio kept listening to suggestions and discussing countermeasures with others. He is not only a Hollywood superstar, but also a film industry The boss of the company, even a director of the level of Martin Scorsese can play well, of course he will not give up easily.

It's still early before the Oscars, and everything is still unknown!

But after the New Year, when the Academy announced the nomination list for the 86th Oscar, negative news about his money laundering almost appeared overwhelmingly in the media.
