Seeing that all the cameras were aimed at him, Tom sighed and walked forward slowly.
Adaman and the other brothers stared straight at the two guys, and the fire in their eyes seemed to burn them a hundred times before it could be extinguished.
"Gentlemen, well, well, I'll leave this place to two security friends for the time being, and let them tell you what the truth is!" Zhang Dongcheng turned around coolly and stood aside, his face always maintaining the expression of Taishanbeng. The same smile as before.
Seeing his smile, Gavin, who was watching TV, couldn't help but feel a chuckle in his heart. This looks perfect, and it seems that something went wrong with the plan to make Smith get out of the United States in disgrace.
What would be the problem?
For a moment, needles could be heard in the entire venue, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tom's face. Some people were excited and wanted to get the latest news, but Adaman and the others were sweating, and their hearts were raised in their throats. inside.
The reporter from the Los Angeles Media Inquirer smiled, as if everything was under control, and looked at Zhang Dongcheng with a deep sense of ridicule.
Now, Tom is going to tell the "truth", and see if you can still burst into a lotus flower with your tongue.
"Thank you, Mr. Smith. First of all, I want to apologize to him, because the words of the two of us have caused trouble to him and his film, and I am extremely sorry." Tom walked up to the front desk, but said that the reporter of the Consultant was stunned, completely unaware At a loss.
"We didn't have any tape recorders in the mummy exhibit at all, we said that because we were paid tens of thousands of dollars to say that..."
Tom was only halfway through when he was interrupted by excited reporters.
"Oh God, what did I hear?"
"May I ask who told you to say that?"
"Damn it, someone wanted to kill Mr. Smith?"
"Who asked you to do this?"
This time, everything turned around, and everything was completely different from the beginning. What Tom said in front of all the media made Gavin stand up in front of the TV, sweating profusely!
"Yes, I guess someone is dissatisfied with Mr. Smith, that's why we deliberately said that it was Smith Zhang's malicious publicity for the film. But we have always had a conscience, so we only said it was the director of the East, and refused to say it was Smith. Mr. Zhang. Now that the incident is so big, I must tell the truth. Even if I have to go to jail, I have to tell the truth. Mr. Smith is innocent. Nothing to do, sir!" Tom said firmly.
All the reporters were dumbfounded. The whole venue was as quiet as a morgue, and a needle could be heard.
And Zhang Dongcheng's lips turned up slightly, and the big trick he had been brewing all along was the security guard Tom's retraction in court!
And Mr. Carl has become one of the overlords in Hollywood, how could he not understand what Zhang Dongcheng meant? The price he offered was something that security guard Tom couldn't refuse even if he went to jail because of it.
The huge investment of 80 million U.S. dollars always makes the capitalists in Hollywood crazy about it, and dares to deceive God for it!
As for Zhang Dongcheng, he really did not participate in it. Everything was caused by Carl himself. Tom, the security guard who sees money, has no psychological burden at all.
"Who gave you money to slander Mr. Smith?" someone shouted.
"It's Gavin from the Los Angeles Media News, who gave me the money and asked me to say that!" Tom and Jerry said in unison.
Although they really did this, no one found out. When Gavin found them, for a moment they really thought they had revealed their secrets, and they were scared to death.
But Gavin's words quickly relieved them of their burden. It turned out that Gavin didn't know that he had done such a thing, and he paid money to blame Smith, whom he didn't even know.
The most important point is that the money given by Gavin cannot be compared with the money given by Carl. The price offered by Carl, a big capitalist, for an 80 million dollar movie is enough to make the two of them sell their souls.
A shopping mall is like a battlefield. This time, Gavin lost everything!
After the entire venue was quiet, it was as noisy as if they were on a battlefield. Countless people stretched their arms desperately, trying to make every word of Zhang Dongcheng clear.
"When I was in elementary school, my Chinese teacher told me, Smith, you must be an upright person in the future, a person with a clear conscience, and a person who is beneficial to society. I will always keep the teacher's words in mind.
When I was in college, I went to the UK to study and majored in directing, because I like movies, and I like the sense of accomplishment of telling the stories in my heart and shooting them into pictures. "
"After I walked out of the university campus, I have encountered countless twists and turns!" Zhang Dongcheng said here, looking at Adaman beside him. "In 1995, that is, last year, at the Cannes Film Festival, my buddy Adaman and I met a racist. He called us yellow monkeys and niggers, and even deported us!"
Although after World War II, the United States has promulgated laws prohibiting racial discrimination. But to this day, racial discrimination still exists in this country. Zhang Dongcheng's words began to make some black and yellow people who suffered from discrimination sympathize with them!
This is also Zhang Dongcheng's plan, try to use language to shorten the distance with these reporters. Now it seems that the effect is very good. With the big trick, many people nodded frequently and looked at themselves with friendly attitudes.
"During the production of my second film, 'Two Smoking Barrels', Harris reporter of the Daily Mail, for some unknown purpose, deliberately targeted the gangster typed in the film, and took it out of context to promote what I want Challenge the status of "The Godfather"!" Zhang Dongcheng talked eloquently. There was anger and unyielding fighting spirit in his expression.
At this moment, all the reporters felt that he was a fearless fighter. Bravely facing all kinds of storms.
"At that time, I became the most unpopular person in the whole of Britain. Every day, no matter what kind of newspaper, I could see cynicism against me." Zhang Dongcheng seemed to have returned to that time again, with grievance and anger on his face , Unwilling expression. His voice also gradually suppressed. It seemed that a more violent outbreak was brewing.
"In the early days of the film's release, I only got two canvases!" Zhang Dongcheng stretched out **** and waved them in front of everyone. "But even under such circumstances, I still fought a beautiful turnaround. Because I relied on my strength!"
In the last sentence, Zhang Dongcheng clenched his fist in front of his chest with all his strength. Because of too much force, his forearm shook slightly.
"I don't know why that person named Gavin is targeting me!" Zhang Dongcheng's voice dropped, and then suddenly raised. Because the volume was too high, there was even a pulling pain in his throat. "But I still want to tell some people with ulterior motives that conspiracy cannot defeat me. My film and I will succeed. In this world, justice must prevail!"
Some more excitable reporters applauded one after another, applauding Zhang Dongcheng's righteous words. For a while, there was thunderous applause.
"Although I am Chinese, although I have set foot in this beautiful land for less than a year, I believe that this country smiles, stretches out its hands, and gives an encouraging hug to everyone. Trust is the foundation of exchanges between the two sides , is the most beautiful language between people. A trusting look can dissolve the ice of conflict, and a trusting tone is enough to make people unforgettable and never forget." Zhang Dongcheng said emotionally, the color in his eyes But it made everyone who looked at him feel ashamed.
"Unfortunately, as a newcomer who has just started my first movie in Hollywood, the media have given me too little trust, and they are even willing to believe a lie fabricated by an unscrupulous media! America, it is too much for me Disappointed." Zhang Dongcheng's eyes were filled with deep disappointment, which made every media reporter feel a little guilty.
"However, what Brother Tom and Jerry said at this moment made me regain my confidence in the United States. I believe that there are still good people in this world! I solemnly promise not to pursue legal responsibility against Tom and Jerry. This matter , just a small episode, I want to put all my energy into the movie, let "The Mummy" come this Halloween!"
Zhang Dongcheng took a deep breath and bowed deeply to all the reporters. At the same time, he lamented in his heart that the original pure and simple Zhang Dongcheng was gone forever.
If you want to get out of the mud in Hollywood, you have to be darker, more domineering and unreasonable than those guys!
Immediately, there was thunderous applause, and all the reporters wrote down the cause and effect of this incident in their notebooks. Overnight, the media comments in the entire United States were turned upside down!
"Shameless someone else! Los Angeles Media Advisory fabricates news and creates fake news, it is simply a scum of the industry!"
"To be fair to Mr. Smith, the Getty Center mummy incident has nothing to do with him, it's just a coincidence!"
"There are reports that Gavin acquired the Los Angeles News, intending to create a hot spot and then sell it, which is why this unbelievable mummy incident happened!"
"Forget about the **** liars, Halloween, let's go see the mummies!"
The parade crowd has dispersed, who else would be so stupid as to stay on the street?
Halloween is coming, let's go to the movies!
------
After the media meeting was over, a catastrophe disappeared, and everyone's confidence in Zhang Dongcheng went up to a new level, not to mention Adaman and Patricia's almost blind obedience towards him.
Jingle Bell…
A pleasant phone call came, and Zhang Dongcheng's cell phone rang.
Even without taking out his mobile phone, Zhang Dongcheng can still guess who made the call. If he is right, it must be Karl.
While thinking, Zhang Dongcheng took out his mobile phone and connected the call.
