Hollywood Road

Early the next morning, the tabloid newspapers, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, were all condemning Murphy. The major newspapers were more restrained and cautious. They did not report indiscriminately before there was specific news, but the tabloids are different. They like to stimulate readers Nerve news, this incident is undoubtedly one of them.

"racist……"

"Shameful discriminator..."

"Lack of the most basic respect for women, serious gender discrimination..."

Similar titles, as if they don't need money, the tabloids threw them on Murphy's head one after another, which is more sharp than the attacks of Natalie Portman fans on the Internet.

It seems that these tabloids will not be satisfied without pulling Murphy into the abyss.

Sitting in Bill Rossis’s car, Murphy put down the tabloid in his hand, and his mood was very stable. He did not expect that Gal Gadot would have such key evidence in his hands, but he did not rush to announce it. After watching it last night, he called Kara Feith and a head of the propaganda department of Twentieth Century Fox to Santa Monica, preparing to fight back while creating the first wave of propaganda for the film in preparation wave.

Of course, the promotion will not reveal the specific name and content of the film, and will only focus on Murphy Stanton's new film.

And after I went back last night, 20th Century Fox also actively mobilized some resources. Today, some newspapers and the Internet appeared similar to "Natalie Portman wants to participate in Murphy Stanton's new film frustrated." News like that.

Murphy was really angry with Natalie Portman, she was pushing him to Mel Gibson.

He really didn't expect that Natalie Portman would do this. If it hadn't been for Gal Gadot who had prepared her early and wanted to take something and disgusted her face to face, it would be really troublesome this time.

Maybe she didn't play the cards according to Hollywood's routine, really hurt her self-esteem?

Murphy shook her head and smiled, but she also wanted to admire Natalie Portman's cleverness. Although her words were inductive, she didn't directly say that he was racist. The rest were hype that the media automatically followed up.

Such women shouldn't be mixed in Hollywood, they should go to Washington to participate in the more shameless campaign game.

"Some Jewish militant groups have already issued statements," said Bill Rossis, who drove, "I want you to apologize immediately."

Murphy snorted coldly, without speaking.

The car had just stopped at the gate of the warehouse studio, and a bunch of paparazzi reporters immediately surrounded him. Fortunately, there were already security guards from the crew waiting here to help Murphy cut off a fairly safe passage.

"Director Stanton, are you a racist?"

The reporter couldn't squeeze him, but could ask loudly, "Don't you respond to Miss Natalie Portman's remarks?"

"You discriminate against Jews, what do you think of your girlfriend?"

Hearing this question, Murphy really wanted to ask these guys if there was a problem with their heads. If he really discriminated against Jews, would he look for Gal Gadot as his girlfriend?

But some people only want to see what they want to see.

Just as Murphy walked into the gate of the warehouse studio, a reporter wearing glasses squeezed nearby and asked loudly, "Don't you think you should apologize?"

Murphy suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the reporter, and said sharply, "Why should I apologize? Who do I apologize to? Who did I hurt? You are ready to convict me on one side?"

When the surrounding reporters saw him respond, they rushed up frantically, but Murphy stopped speaking and went straight into the door.

The remarks on the media and the Internet have also affected the crew to some extent. Murphy did not give any explanation to anyone, and still proceeded with his own preparatory work step by step.

These people who have been following Murphy for a long time all know him better, and the impact on them is very small. The normal work of the crew has not been affected much.

The most obvious impact is the negotiation about the candidate for the heroine. After Charlize Theron participated in an audition, Murphy determined in principle that she will play Amy. The negotiations between the two sides have also progressed relatively smoothly, and the salary of the South African diamond is basically determined. It consists of a basic remuneration of US$5 million plus a 5% North American ticket dividend.

Originally, they were planning to sign the contract these days, but Murphy and Bill Rossis came to the set and received a call from Charlize Theron’s agent. The other party had something to do with Charlize Theron’s advertising endorsement. As an excuse, the signing was temporarily postponed.

This is a very normal situation. Charlize Theron is not Murphy's friend. When this kind of racial scandal suddenly broke out and the specific situation was unclear, he would definitely not want to take this muddy water casually.

Murphy himself would do the same.

But his friends are supporting him, even if they don't know the real situation.

"I don't think Murphy would say such things and do these things." James Franco faced the reporter's microphone, his position was very clear, "Someone lied about this matter."

In an interview, Jonah Hill said directly, “As the heroine, we are considering big-name actors like Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron, Natalie- Portman has never been within the scope of our consideration. It was she who wanted to post it on our crew, but after being rejected by us, she said some inexplicable things. She is the most vicious woman I have ever seen."

"I just want to say that some people look glamorous." Robert Downey Jr. gave an interview in Europe. "The inside is even more stinky than rotten meat."

Seth Rogen also appeared in front of the reporter, "Some people lie without blinking their eyes. Hollywood knows that there is a woman who graduated from Harvard is famously different."

Even reporters and paparazzi blocked Gal Gadot at the gate of UCLA.

"She never regarded me as a friend, nor do I have such a friend." Gal Gadot used Murphy's words directly, "The real **** likes to pretend to be innocent, pure, and shy, only women In order to see who the real **** is."

After seeing that scene from the set office, she no longer concealed her disgust for Natalie Portman.

Both the media and the public like such topics, especially tabloids and major gossip websites. They like to use such things to attract attention. They are divided into two factions tacitly.

From the standpoint of Natalie Portman, one faction accused Murphy of being a racist, because Natalie Portman’s Jewish identity rejected her as the heroine of the new film.

The other faction is on Murphy’s side, thinking that Natalie Portman is really lying...

They don't really have a stand with Murphy or Natalie Portman, but they can best attract public attention.

In addition, along with disputes, Murphy Stanton’s new film frequently appeared in the media. The new film seems to be very confidential, with only a code name of "G".

This has also attracted the attention of a lot of movie fans. What kind of role and what kind of crew can actually provoke Natalie Portman and Murphy Stanton naked to tear apart.

The uproar of the incident must have attracted the attention of those Jewish leaders in Hollywood. Several senior Jewish leaders in CAA also called Murphy and asked what was going on, but Bill Roses sent a copy. After copying, I chose to ignore and silence.

This attitude was quickly passed on by CAA. Murphy is now able to create a large amount of profit for CAA every year. Since they have not said those words, they certainly will not see their most promising young directors turn back.

At the same time, as Murphy's most steadfast ally, Carla Fiss was also active in Twentieth Century Fox, actively preparing to counterattack.

With evidence to support it, Twentieth Century Fox will not let a person's remarks ruin a large investment of his own.

The media has been hyping and arguing for three days. The topic of the new film is very hot. Murphy can't let this topic go on without compulsion. The harassment of many reporters and paparazzi gathered at the door of the studio every day is good to say, but from noon on the third day , Some sporadic protest crowds also began to appear, and the banners and signs attracted more people to participate.

If it continues, it will inevitably affect the preparation work of the crew seriously.

In the afternoon of the third day, Bill Rossis and Grace sent invitations to major North American media in the name of CAA, inviting them to participate in Murphy's upcoming press conference, saying that Murphy would be against "racial discrimination" incidents. Responded.

The press conference not only invited print media, but also network media and TV stations. In the fight for Kara-Fis and 20th Century Fox from the perspective of propaganda, Fox TV also announced that it will broadcast the press conference live through entertainment channels. .

There are also Murphy's blog and the official blog codenamed "G", which will also be broadcast live simultaneously.

"They want to hold a press conference?"

In the suite at the Hilton Hotel, Natalie Portman looked angry, "They still want to argue this? Martin..."

She looked at the manager Martin Miller who had just entered the door, "Can these things be explained clearly? Didn't you contact the Jewish organizations in the circle? What do they say?"

Martin Miller's face was very serious, "They have chosen to be silent."

"Why?" Natalie Portman's voice was very sharp.

"Some of them saw something at CAA, so they decided to remain silent." Martin Miller looked at Natalie Portman, "Nat, tell me the truth, did Murphy Stanton say Those words? Or have relevant intentions been expressed?"

He knew that his client was not so difficult to deal with.

Natalie Portman opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Martin Miller added, "Murphy Stanton clearly has evidence. You'd better apologize to him and reach a settlement."
