One Hundred and Eighty Seven-Me Too

This interesting news made Wayne and others in Toronto, Canada feel a sigh of relief.

The North American public knows very well what kind of virtues a Hollywood star has. I'm afraid everyone is not surprised that there is no lower limit, but this incident has indeed touched the sensitive nerves of many people.

As Bruce Rosenblum said, this is just the beginning! Now that Warner Bros. has taken action, it will never be a painless exposure.

Wayne wasted no time in shooting the remaining scenes in Hope, hoping to finish the few remaining live shots before it got completely cold. After all, the weather in Canada in January made it impossible to work outside.

But this did not affect their understanding of the progress of this matter. On the first day, they were just newspapers with whom they had good relations, such as the "Los Angeles Times", "Los Angeles Daily Entertainment News", and "Entertainment Weekly". Things couldn't stop the car in two days!

First, Morgan Freeman's assistant was interviewed through the media. She boldly told the camera about her experience.

"I was a life assistant on the set of this year's movie "The Shawshank Redemption" starring Freeman. Freeman often touched me inappropriately and made comments about my body and clothes every day. He kept trying to lift my skirt and asked me Underwear or not. Our castmate Alan Arkin once told Freeman to stop, and Freeman was shocked and didn't know what to do."

And when there is one, there will be a second and a third. Another woman took the initiative to find the reporter and also claimed that she had been sexually harassed by Morgan Freeman.

"I was working on the set of Unforgiven and my co-workers and I were sexually harassed by him multiple times. He did like to comment on our bodies and we knew if he was coming over, he couldn't wear anything that highlighted our breasts. and buttocks! Don’t wear anything form-fitting either!”

This is just the beginning. In the CNN news report owned by Warner Bros., a commentary and investigation program was specially customized for this elegant African-American "gentleman".

The news first detailed his inappropriate behavior, including staring at women's breasts, massaging an intern's shoulders, asking a woman how she felt about sexual harassment, asking women to spin circles for him, etc.

Including the two women who were interviewed previously, there was one exchange this time. Eight of them said they had been harassed, and the other eight said they had witnessed Freeman's misconduct.

This is just a variety of information from the past few days. When the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption", Castle Rock Pictures and CAA agencies started emergency public relations, a follow-up report by the "Los Angeles Times" ignited public opinion.

"A few days ago, our reporters reported on the ethics incident of Hollywood movie star Morgan Freeman. Recently, our reporters finally contacted the person involved, the granddaughter of this African-American star, Adina! She personally admitted that she had an affair with her grandfather. relationship, and explained that he was tempted by the huge amount of pocket money..."

However, this time this report was not placed in the entertainment section, but in the social news section.

Subsequently, many TV stations followed up and released videos and audio recordings of Adina being interviewed by reporters in news programs. This news instantly ignited public opinion and caused an uproar.

"Facing accusations of sexual harassment from multiple women, veteran Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman issued an apology statement through the media yesterday. "If anyone feels uncomfortable or disrespected, I apologize to them, that was not my intention! Regarding my granddaughter Edina, it was purely due to our family conflicts that the rebellious child said nonsense. She and I did not have an unethical relationship at all”!... "Los Angeles Times"

"This old man is finished!"

Li Guohao took a deep breath and put down the newspaper in his hand. In just half a month, the crew in Canada saw with their own eyes how a Hollywood star became disreputable in a short period of time.

A "gentleman" with a very good reputation before turned into a pervert despised by everyone in just half a month.

Looking up at the few people who were listening to him reading the newspaper, Li Guohao saw that the director acted as if nothing had happened. He was holding a cigarette and talking softly with Bruce Rosenblum about the film. He didn't take the news he just read to heart at all.

This situation has been going on for half a month. Public opinion in North America is believed to have changed dramatically, but this young director has devoted himself to filming. It seems that all this has nothing to do with the crew, as if Morgan Freeman and "The Shawshank Redemption" were denounced by the whole people, it was a complete accident...

This is the power of the media group, this is the power that big capital wants to gain over a person!

"Is this Hollywood?" Li Guohao accidentally expressed his innermost thoughts.

"Lee, this is Hollywood!" Zack Snyder beside him said seriously: ""The Return of the Clown" is not a crew of one of those small companies. You wouldn't really think that others are targeting Wayne Greenberg, Warner Bros. and Will Time Warner be watching? He will soon invest in this group!

Wayne means so much to Warner Bros., and so does his cast. Of course, Hollywood is full of competition at all times. You can use normal or abnormal means to compete, but you must be prepared for your opponents to use these means too!

It's a pity that the old man has struggled for twenty years. Maybe the crew at Castle Rock didn't expect that Warner Bros. would directly strike hard! "

Zack Snyder's words made Li Guohao understand more about the cruelty of this circle. Just like Warner Brothers, they will never target anyone, but when they want to target someone, they can easily dig out your background no matter what their identity is.

To be honest, in the Hollywood industry, are there any insiders with a clean foundation? Li Guohao himself didn't believe it.

"What, do you think this is the end?" Bruce Rosenblum sneered. "Then you underestimate Warner Brothers too much. Just wait. When "The Shawshank Redemption" is released, that's when the old black man will be unlucky. Are they the only ones who will find non-profit organizations?

Now if the crew thought that just issuing an apology statement would get it over with, they would be really naive! At that time, there will be women's rights organizations that will take the old "gentleman" to court, and there will be conclusive evidence! "

This time, not only Li Guohao, but everyone around him, except Wayne, felt a chill down their backs.

Everyone understands one thing, Warner Bros. is planning to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!

In particular, Li Guohao felt very deeply. Of course there is competition in this circle. If you want to avoid that kind of fierce competition, you can only work hard to improve your own value and status, and become as successful as Wayne Greenberg.

At that time, even if someone wants to target you, you won’t have to worry about it. The interest group behind you will beat them to death with a stick!

Several people around him suddenly had a deeper understanding of this cold gaming circle.

"Why are you so stunned!" The director's cry woke up Li Guohao, and Wayne appeared on the chair with a loudspeaker. "Don't you want to end this damn work early? Get moving. If you don't want to continue to freeze in this shitty weather, get moving!"

The crew seemed to suddenly come to life. There were not many scenes left, and they were all scattered shots. Everyone knew that the work would be over by tomorrow at the latest and return to Los Angeles, which is sunny all year round.

Wayne heard everything verbatim about the discussion between his assistant director and the leading actor. In his heart, he even felt that this old black man had gotten a bargain. Now that he faced the final result, he would just have to pay more and more. These were all issues that could be settled out of court with money.

Even if he becomes a pauper and faces the problem of spending a few years in jail at most, if he meets a role that happens to suit him, he might be able to make a comeback. This kind of thing happens a lot in Hollywood.

If this kind of problem were placed twenty years later, it would be a lot of fun. It would be impossible for people to get away so easily. The Me Too movement, which the entire Hollywood seems to be cheating on, can really kill people.

"Zach, you take charge of the shooting and speed up the progress of these scattered shots. It's best to get all the problems solved today. We will fly back to the warm Los Angeles tomorrow with this shit like weather!"

Wayne put on gloves and a pencil and prepared to continue designing the concept drawings of "Batman", but the cold weather made the gloved fingers inoperable.

Zack Snyder is already very familiar with this situation, as are the crew and actors. Since the main scenes were filmed almost a week ago, Wayne has stopped using the camera and has been practicing his assistant director skills.

Wayne opened another notebook of his. This notebook was all about preparations for "Batman." Even his assistant Nina couldn't touch it.

He turned straight to the middle, where a neat row of names was recorded. Bruce Wayne: (Vacant, alternative conditions: those who can join the group for training six months in advance.)

Alfred: (First choice: Michael Caine. Alternatives: several)

Katie Holmes: (Naomi Watts. Alternatives: None)

Henri Duca: (First choice:)

Wayne thought about it, and temporarily filled in Liam Neeson, a man who cannot be messed with. This man can save the world, save the earth, and save the air. Presumably Uncle Neeson, who has not yet started to save his career, is worth a lot. ? If appropriate, sign him to a few more movie contracts!

Lucius Fox: (…)

When he saw this name, he couldn't help but think of the old black man who had just been in bad luck. This "gentleman" was definitely not Wayne's choice.

Maybe you can consider getting the "Ma'er Fa 'K' Xia" in advance to give it a try? Well, write it down and ask someone to investigate this SHIELD director later.

"Boss!" Zack Schneider saw that he kept his head down while working, and he shouted when he couldn't help it.

"What?"

"The shooting is over, everyone is waiting for you to announce it, and then we can close the shot!"
