Chapter 809

According to the "New York Times" article, Twain was behind the scenes, and it was just the beginning!

Just two days later, The New Yorker published an article of equal force.

The content of the article once again pointed directly at Harvey Weinstein's lair - Miramax.

"A total of 12 former or current Miramax executives and associates said in interviews that they witnessed or were aware of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault."

“These employees said that many of the professional meetings arranged for actresses and female models were actually a preparation for sexual assault. These employees also said that Harvey Weinstein’s actions in Miramax can be said to be It's widely known."

"A female employee who did not want to be named said that as soon as she joined the company, two colleagues warned her that she was exactly the type that Harvey liked. She was indeed harassed by Harvey afterwards."

"Other employees also said that the so-called professional meeting is Harvey's routine. He will call actresses or models to the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, there are some female employees and executives present, and then they will leave one after another, creating A chance for Harvey to be alone with them."

"He can offer a lot of bargaining chips, such as jobs, roles, money, contacts, and most of the victims have also chosen to reach a settlement agreement with them. Harvey Weinstein, who has never learned a real lesson, may never have thought One day will fall so badly..."

Behind this article tailored for Harvey Weinstein's conscience, Tang En once again felt the fierceness of Michael Eisner!

With Harvey Weinstein's accident, Disney's market value has increased by 2.5 billion US dollars.

Under such circumstances, what Michael Eisner did was not to try his best to disassociate the relationship between Harvey Weinstein and Disney, but to intensify the publicity to make things worse!

Start hard enough!

To be ruthless to oneself is to be really ruthless!

Harvey Weinstein's team also launched a public relations crisis, denying all rumors and claiming to sue the New York Times for defamation.

If it was the news on the gossip tabloids, Harvey Weinstein might have been shocked by using his own abilities and a strong team of lawyers.

Events will soon subside.

But this is The New York Times! And The New Yorker!

Behind the new Universal and Disney fueled the flames.

Scaring a few words, it doesn't work at all!

Both Disney and Miramax have made official public statements that they have fired Harvey Weinstein from all positions.

Moreover, the wall fell and everyone pushed.

In just a few days, many Hollywood stars met reporters by "chance" and expressed their views on the matter.

Gwyneth Paltrow: "Yes, it's true, I've had that experience! When I was 22 years old, I became the heroine of "Emma", and before the filming started, he invited her Went to his Beverly mansion for a 'work meeting' and then slapped me on it. Then I ran away. I thought he was going to fire me."

Ben Affleck: "I am deeply saddened and outraged that the man I have worked with has used his power to intimidate, sexually assault and manipulate women over the past dozen years. I read the news in the newspapers, It makes me sick. We must support those who are fighting, condemn and reach out when incidents like this happen, and ensure more women are empowered."

Angelina Jolie: "I had a terrible experience working with him when I was young, so I decided not to work with him again and I warn everyone else who does. This kind of behavior towards women in any field, It will not be tolerated by any country."

Matt Damon: "There are no excuses for sexual harassment and assault - no matter who you are or what position you are in. I applaud the courage and strength of these women who are speaking out."

Meryl Streep: "Harvey Weinstein's disgraceful behavior shocks those of us who support his work. One thing is clear. Not everyone knows about it .Harvey is very supportive of my work. In our working relationship, he is very irritating, but he is very polite to me, and to some other people who work with him. I didn't know him before. these faults of..."

...

The first wave of people who came forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein... were friends in the industry who had worked closely with him in the past few years!

There is no way, whether it is the brokerage company or the film company, for the greater good, they must let him stand up and draw a clear line to avoid being implicated.

This matter is very big.

It will definitely not stop in a short time.

The seriousness of the matter is much more serious than those cases led by the New Universal Women's Rights Association.

And it is precisely this first wave of people who stand up to clarify the relationship, which can deal a fatal blow to Harvey Weinstein's body and mind!

Working in Hollywood all my life, all my life was in vain!

Even the stars and movie queens whom he personally promoted were denouncing his actions loudly.

It is conceivable that this film industry boss who once crowned the king and saint in the independent film circle is finished...

...

"Twain, I want to explain this matter to Russell. Harvey has helped him many times, and he has owed him a lot of favors." Mel Gibson was called to the office by Tang En. Little brother Russell Crowe intercedes.

Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't need to say much, I understand everything. Although Harvey Weinstein's character is a bit poor, his contribution to the world's movies still played an indelible role."

This is not a lie.

In the past decade or so, almost every director of foreign literary films who had fantasies about Hollywood had the opportunity to enter Hollywood with the help of Harvey Weinstein.

"Hero" is the most typical example. This oriental martial arts film with a global box office of 177 million US dollars opened a door for mainland directors to enter Hollywood.

"In the early years, Nicole also received a lot of help from him."

"Nicole? Oh..."

Tang En smiled disapprovingly, "Okay, I came here today to talk about work, these are not important, it's a trivial matter!"

Mel Gibson curled his lips, the Harvey Weinstein matter was aroused, and the traffic heat was higher than that of the US election!

Is this still a trivial matter?

Really can pretend!

"Okay, what's the matter?"

"What are you doing lately?"

"I'm going to make a movie, didn't I tell you? "Apocalypse", a fantasy action movie about the legend of Mayan civilization."

"Oh, that's right." Tang En slapped his forehead, and then remembered, "Didn't you just have an idea for that project? Don't worry, I have a project here, take a look."

Mel Gibson raised his eyes, "An actor again?"

"Yes, actor!" Tang En said immediately.

Mel Gibson was somewhat uninterested, "My greatest interest now is to make a movie as a director. The path of an actor...has reached its peak."

Tang En said: "How can you? Even if there are rising stars like Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Will Smith, you are still the most attractive action star, and you are still in the 20 million dollar club." Member! Besides, this project is different, so don't rush to refuse."

With that said, Tang En handed over a two-page manuscript.

This is a handwritten script outline.

The name is "The Hunt".

"You wrote it yourself?" Mel Gibson's eyes lit up.

It was a surprise that Tang En wrote the script himself, and it did give him a little more motivation to act.

Tang En smiled and said, "Not only that, you can continue watching!"

Mel Gibson glanced at ten lines, read quickly, and then was taken aback, "Art... art film?"

Tang Enyu said earnestly: "Mel, you also said that your acting career...has reached its peak. Now that you have entered the era of special effects, the style of action superstars in the 1990s...is no longer popular. If you If you want to maintain a peak acting career, like Tom Hanks, you have to transform, you can no longer leave people with a tough guy posture."

Mel Gibson was moved, "This movie... is specially prepared for me?"

Tang En said: "Not exactly, this movie...is the end of the Woody Allen incident, and it also involves my other Hollywood resource layout. In short, it is very important."

At the beginning of the movie "The Hunt", Twain wanted to give the ultimate characterization of the Woody Allen incident. Through a movie, tell the whole world that children's falsehoods are sometimes unbelievable, which will bring great troubles to adults.

Now, the movie takes on new meaning.

He wants to wash away the injustice of child molestation for Michael Jackson through this movie!

Of course, there is a more important point, through this movie, to help Comcast uncover the black hand behind Sony, thus driving the Japanese out of Columbia Pictures.

Mel Gibson quickly read the outline of the script with a complicated expression, obviously moved by the story.

There are two main characters in "The Hunt", one is a middle-aged divorced male teacher, and the other is a young girl in love.

Mel Gibson is going to play a tragic divorced man.

"Who is the director?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. What's your opinion? This project is very urgent. It's best to start it now and release it in August or September next year."

"So hasty?"

"The outline of the story has been finalized. I also let the screenwriting department take charge of writing the specific script, and it will be finished this month. If the speed is fast, it can be started before September."

Mel Gibson saw Tang En's resolute attitude, did not say anything more, pondered for a while, and said: "The salary is not an issue, but I want to become a producer."

Tang En said with a smile: "The investment of the film will not exceed 30 million US dollars, and it is impossible for you to want a high salary. The position of a producer... definitely no problem, as I said, this is an Oscar for your conscience film! Even if you can't get Best Actor, you still have to get a nomination back."

Mel Gibson nodded heavily, "The candidate for the director...I recommend David Fincher!"
