"A rising Chinese director was expelled from a university for racial discrimination!"

Seeing this news from Yahoo was like watching "Spirit-Ghost Record" again, and everyone was shocked. According to the news, Wang Yang, a rising Chinese director who recently set off a "ghost movie boom" in the United States and created a box office miracle, was a freshman at the USC School of Film and Television more than four months ago, but was expelled from the school because of racial discrimination. The reporter spoke to USC's official spokesman, James Grant, who confirmed the news.

This news, like the explosion of a depth charge, immediately stirred up the calm sea into waves.

On online forums, fans expressed their doubts, and black fans indignantly stated that if this was true, they would not go to the cinema to watch any more films about Wang Yang and Lionsgate.

The news also appeared on the NBC Evening News Report, and although it was only briefly mentioned, for a while, families across the United States who were watching the show knew about it.

"Jessica, is that true?" On the fabric couch, Mark Alba, who saw the news, suddenly frowned, his majestic face sank, looked at Jessica next to him, and asked, "That kid is a racist? He discriminates against black people?!"

Sitting in the middle of the couch, Jessica stared blankly at the TV screen, oh my God! Damn it! Just as Jan was enjoying his success, did this unjust case come out again to wreak havoc? She thought to herself, frowning, and for a moment she fell into a trance.

"Jessica, Jessica!" Mark Alba shouted a few times, but Jessica didn't react, his face couldn't help but become more and more heavy, could it be that Jessica was also kept in the dark? Cathy, who was sitting on the far left, shook her daughter, Jessica woke up, she looked left and right, and asked, "Oh! What are you talking about?" Mark Alba asked again in a serious tone: "Jessica, is that true? Jan is a racist? Didn't you know before?"

Jessica leaned back on the couch weakly, shook her head, and said, "No, Dad, I knew it before." But ......"

"What!?" Mark Alba was stunned, Jessica knew it before?!He reacted and couldn't help but scold: "You know, you're still with him!?Jessica, what the hell are you doing!?"

His anger has also been accumulating for several days, recently Jessica often goes out with that Young, watches movies, and comes home in the middle of the night; he is a Catholic, so he is naturally angry about this, but he thinks that it is normal for his daughter to grow up and start dating, so he doesn't care about it, just says to be careful on the road.

But now, his daughter is dating a man of bad morals? He had always hoped that his children would grow up healthy and happy and have a career in the future, and in order to give the Jessica siblings the best environment and education, he retired and changed careers to business, and he worked hard to bring his family into the upper class, no matter how hard and tiring the work was.

And Jessica has also been very sensible since she was a child, which makes him very worry-free, but at the end of the day, his daughter is actually with a person who calls "Mexicans dirty cleaners"?

"No, it's not, Dad, listen to me......" Jessica shouted helplessly, her mood was in a mess, she had been worried about Young's affairs to death, and now Dad came to add to the chaos. She couldn't help but cover her forehead, closed her eyes, and looked speechless.

"Mark, calm down. Cathy persuaded her husband, looked at her troubled daughter, and asked softly, "Jessica, tell Mom, what's going on?"

Jessica exhaled a long breath and shook her head, "Jan is not racist, he was wronged." Then she made the whole thing clear. She looked at Mark Alba and said angrily, "Dad, Mom, Jan helped me a lot when I was a child. And at my birthday party that day, you saw Young, you know who he is. She said amusedly, "Does he look like a man who says ','? he's not that idiot!"

Cathy exclaimed sympathetically, "Oh, Lord! that kid is so pathetic, he doesn't deserve this." Jessica gave her mother a grateful look and nodded, "Well, but Jan survived, and he's a huge success now." However, this thing came out again......"

Mark Alba didn't choose to believe Wang Yang as easily as his wife, he was silent and thought for a while, and said: "Yes, Yang is a very mature person, but mature people are often more able to hide themselves and be more flattering. A person who can make tens of millions in a few months is not so simple. He looked at Jessica and said in his father's tone, "Anyway, until this matter is clarified, Jessica, you don't want to be with Young." ”

Jessica rolled her eyes helplessly, she knew that her stubborn father would not easily trust Wang Yang, and Joshua learned half of it from him. She looked at Cathy, then at Mark, and said seriously, "I'm sure Young, I'm not going to break up with him because of this damn thing." It was not easy for her to reunite with Young, and she got to know each other again, and now the relationship is getting better and better.

Looking at her stubborn father, whose eyes were getting wider and wider, she simply finished her words in one breath: "Moreover, I am not in a relationship with Jan; ”

Mark Alba laughed angrily and said, "Freedom? yes, you have your freedom." He snorted coldly again, and said righteously: "But you are not yet an adult, and legally I have the right to custody my daughter, and in terms of family affection, I can't let my daughter stay with some bastards." I can still control you. ”

"Mark, there's something to say. Cathy reconciled the conflict between father and daughter, and said softly to her daughter: "Jessica, don't quarrel with your father, you know, we all love you." ”

"I know, of course I do. Jessica sighed a few times, thinking that her father was also for her own good, and she didn't want to argue, she apologized to Mark: "My fault, Dad, I shouldn't have been so heavy." But I really believe in Jan, he's a good guy. She got up from the couch and said, "I'm going up." With that, she walked up the stairs.

Watching her "thump" up to the second floor, Mark Alba and Cathy glanced at each other, both with a little helplessness on their faces. Mark Alba spread his hands self-deprecatingly and said, "Looks like someone has grown up and is going to throw me in the trash." Cathy smiled and patted his hand and comforted: "Mark, Jessica is a worry-free child, she has her own judgment, you don't have to worry so much." ”

"Toot-toot-the phone you dialed is on the phone......" In the room, Jessica put down her phone with a frown, she walked around in an irritable mood, looked at the discussion on the Internet in front of the computer, and looked at the scolding and curses to Wang Yang, she felt very uncomfortable, she couldn't stand it anymore, she picked up her mobile phone again and dialed Wang Yang's number, and it was still on the call......

Wang Yang's mobile phone has been busy all night, and he received a call from his parents after receiving calls from Zachary, a few high school classmates, and others. He walked in the hall with his mobile phone, anxious, he gritted his teeth, pressed the connect button, and said in a calm tone: "Hi, this is Wang Yang, he can't answer your call for the time being, please leave your message if you have something." ”

"Xiao Yang, such a big thing has happened! When are you going to tell me?!" Wang's father's voice was very angry, he sighed: "You have disappointed my father and mother so much, we got this news, it turned out to be from TV! My son made a movie? My son was expelled from college? What are these things! I know you're here, tell us quickly, what's the matter, your mother and I are dying." At this time, Wang's mother's voice also came, and she said anxiously: "Xiao Yang, are you doing well now? ”

"Mom, Dad...... I'm doing well, don't worry about me. Wang Yang heard their tone so anxious, and suddenly he didn't have the heart to laugh, smiled and comforted them a few words, and then explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail, and said: "Then, I took the money returned by the school, the living expenses you gave me, the return expenses, and the money I earned from my part-time job to make a DV movie, and then the movie was lucky to be favored by Lionsgate...... Then, my expulsion from USC came to light today. ”

He talked about these things very easily, he didn't mention any difficulties and frustrations at all, those things have passed, why bother to say it to make his parents feel distressed, they just need to share the joy now.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and Wang's mother praised lovingly: "Xiao Yang, you are very strong, and your mother and father are very proud of you." She said reproachfully: "But it's wrong for you to hide these things from us, if there are any difficulties, the family will discuss and solve them." ”

Wang Yang didn't speak, he knew his parents' love for him, but he felt that he was an adult, he should be independent, and he couldn't rely on his parents for everything; besides, some difficulties need to be solved by himself, that is his business, and he will solve them. He smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you will kidnap me back to San Francisco, I don't want to inherit the restaurant." ”

"Xiao Yang, if you want to inherit it, I won't give it, this restaurant is mine, give it to you, what am I going to do?" Dad Wang laughed, Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh, and then heard Dad suddenly sigh and say: "Do you think we don't know what you want to do? You want to make a movie, that's your ideal, I and your mother both know, will we hinder you?" If you want to make a movie, how much money does it cost, and Dad will let you make a movie even if he sells the restaurant, but you don't, you hide it from us, and I know that although you say it lightly, you must have suffered a lot. Why don't you tell us? You're our son!"

Wang Yang's eyes moistened slightly, and his heart was warm, it turned out that he had always misunderstood his parents, there was no war, no irritability, only warm family affection. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, Mom, thank you!" Wang's father and Wang's mother both laughed and said, "What else does the family say thank you." Wang Yang wiped his nose with a smile, and deliberately put on a show: "You really don't have to worry, I'm fine now, and I'll be able to get a lot of money right away, become a multimillionaire or something, whatever you want to buy, I'll buy it for you." ”

"Come on, we're doing well, we don't need you to buy anything. Father Wang said angrily, and said indignantly: "However, I can't watch my son being wronged and endure these undeserved infamy!" Wang's mother also said: "Yes, Xiao Yang, what are you going to do now?"

"No big deal, just clarify. Wang Yang continued to deliberately say in a relaxed way, "As long as you interview my former teachers and classmates, everyone will know who I am." "Of course, this needs to be believed.

Father Wang knew that things were far from so simple, and he asked heavily, "Xiao Yang, let's just go to court, right?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "No, there is no need for this for the time being. "Although, with the financial resources he is about to have, it is very promising to hire a good lawyer and win the case. But doing so will not clear up those controversies, and may be counterproductive. Now what he hopes most is that Lionsgate's private investigators can uncover any new evidence.

After chatting with his parents for a long time, Wang Yang finally dispelled most of their worries before ending the call. He had just hung up, but before he could finish pouring a glass of water, someone called his phone again.

Wang Yang looked at the caller ID on the screen, then connected the phone, and said with a smile: "Hey, Rachel? If you call because of the news, then I say, 'I'm fine, don't worry about me', and hang up; if not, then let's continue to talk, which will allow me to avoid a lot of the previous kind of calls." Rachel smiled crisply, "No, I'm just calling you to say 'good evening'." ”

"OK! You know what? I just ended the call with my parents, wow, I didn't think it would be a mess, but I was wrong, they love me so much......" Wang Yang sighed, took the water glass and walked back to the sofa and sat down. Rachel said softly, "Every parent loves their child, Jan." Wang Yang took a sip of water and said with a smile: "I know, I just thought they didn't understand my pursuit." However, in fact, they understand very well, and they have been silently encouraging me and supporting me. When I was a child, my mom knew I liked to watch movies, so she took me to the cinema every day......"

"Beep-toot-the phone you dialed is on the call...... Jessica smashed her phone on the mattress a little angrily, she has been calling for more than an hour, every other moment, every other moment, but still can't get through to Wang Yang's mobile phone. She walked around the room with a frown, and she suddenly walked to the bed, grabbed her phone, picked up a bunch of keys on the table, and headed downstairs.

Knock knock, seeing Jessica's footsteps quickly walking downstairs, Cathy, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned her head to look at her, saw that she was holding the key in her hand, and asked, "Jessica, are you going out?" Jessica nodded and walked to the door: "Yes, Mom, I'll go to Young's place, and I'll be back soon." At this time, Danny the Labrador was wrapped around her feet, and she smiled and said, "Danny, go away, I don't have time to play with you right now." ”

Mark Alba on the sofa said with a calm face, dissatisfied: "What time is it? It's past nine!" He frowned, as if asking himself, "What's the matter?" My daughter is going out again, and my son hasn't come home yet. ”

At this moment, there was a sound of unlocking the door, Danny quickly ran over, and saw Joshua, who had been playing with his classmates all night, open the door and walk in, he looked at this side of the hall, turned the key in his hand, and smiled: "Hey, everyone!" He looked at Jessica again and said excitedly: "Jessica, I just said to Ronnie and them, 'Guys, I know the director of 'Ghost Record'." They're all scared, haha, that's cool! By the way, they want to meet Yang, and I have to ask Yang if he agrees, but his phone can't get through, I don't know what's going on. He looked at Jessica as she walked over and asked, "You know what?"

"Just look online and find out. Jessica hurriedly put on her shoes, opened the door and walked out.

Joshua scratched his head in confusion: "What the hell is going on?" At this time, Mark Alba asked him loudly, "Joshua, where have you been all night!?" Joshua was stunned, not understanding what his father was angry about, and said, "Fellow student......"

Of course, Wang Yang couldn't get a call from Jessica or Joshua, and after talking to Rachel, he received several more calls from his friends, and then Jon Philtimmel called again, and he said that he had contacted a media outlet that had a good relationship with Lionsgate, and that he would do a phone interview first to clarify the facts. Jon is now almost Wang Yang's agent. So, Wang Yang accepted an interview with the Los Angeles News Daily on his mobile phone, clarified the truth of the matter, and answered some reporters' questions.

After the interview, Wang Yang leaned on the tattered sofa for a while, rubbed his temples, and dealt with these things, which was really more tiring than standing on the street at noon and handing out leaflets. However, before, compared with the racial discrimination case, he was more worried about how to appease his parents, but now, with the support and understanding of his family, most of the troubles in his heart have gone, and the rest seem to be minor problems.

Just as he was half-lying on the couch, dazed and about to fall asleep, suddenly the doorbell rang.

Who is it so late? Wang Yang rubbed his eyes and stood up, came to the door and looked out from the cat's eye, and was suddenly stunned, it turned out to be Jessica. I saw her dressed in pretty white clothes, her brown hair draped down, her big eyes looking at the cat's eyes, and her brown eyes were full of slight anxiety.

Jessica...... Wang Yang's heart jumped and he felt very moved, he knew that Jessica must have seen the news, and then worried about him, so he ran over. Wang Yang opened the door, looked at her and smiled, "Hi, Jessica." ”

"Hey ......" Jessica saw him standing there, her hanging heart quietly relaxed, and a sweet smile on her face. She pulled her hair, looked at Wang Yang with both eyes, and explained: "I can't get through to your mobile phone, it always says, 'Talking, talking', and then I came over." ”

Wang Yang patted his head and said with a smile: "Oh, it was really continuous just now, I didn't expect that I would have so many friends." He and Jessica both smiled, and he looked at Jessica standing outside the door playfully, not coming in or leaving, so he smiled and asked, "Come in?"

"Hmm. Jessica nodded and walked inside.

The next day, the "Los Angeles News Daily" published Wang Yang's interview, and then Yahoo reprinted it on the Internet, for Wang Yang's "wronged" said, some people believe it, but most people don't believe it, they are the common idea, USC is a famous school, how can you be wronged casually? So on the Internet forum, the fans' attitude towards Wang Yang has not changed, or even worse, because many people think that Wang Yang is dead and does not admit his mistakes, and others can't give you a chance to repent.

Jon Fittimmel was naturally unwilling to let the incident end like this, and Lionsgate immediately contacted the San Francisco media, and the San Francisco Chronicle interviewed several teachers from Wang Yang's high school, "Lincoln Middle School", and several high school classmates who are now studying in San Francisco, and they are all saying good things about Wang Yang.

Wang Yang's physical education teacher said: "He plays basketball very well, he is a very smart point guard, he is very physical, and he knows how to play with IQ. If he wants to join the varsity basketball team, he even has a chance to play in North Carolina and Duke now, as I've always thought. No, he's an outgoing personality, you know, he's the kind of student who likes to participate in activities, he likes to help people, and he has a good relationship with his classmates. ”

And John Jones, who is now in college, is a black man, and he said, "Man, I'm telling you, Jan is a very good guy, he can't be racist, I promise by the color of my skin." ”

Although Wang Yang's high school teachers and classmates are speaking for him, their rhetoric is not enough to completely convince the public, of course, many people have begun to believe that Wang Yang is innocent, but there are still many people who feel that Lionsgate and Wang Yang have bribed the media and witnesses.

Oprah's talk show was ambiguous, they didn't call, they didn't say they canceled the invitation, as if it wasn't happening, or maybe it would make their show more topical and more viewership. Of course, Wang Yang can also show his heart to the audience, and he may be able to get a lot of support.

And the other client, Terence Ben, also began to be interviewed, and he complained to the media: "That day, Wang Yang was like crazy and kept beating me. I should have accused him of hurting, but I didn't, I forgave him, but now he continues to lie. Terrance Ben's shameless face succeeded in deceiving some people, and they all ran to the official website of "Ghost Record" to leave a message, demanding that Wang Yang publicly apologize, otherwise they would boycott Lionsgate's films and so on.

Just when Wang Yang and Lionsgate were helpless, things suddenly took a major turn, which made everyone who cared about Wang Yang overjoyed!

It has been four days since the media exposed the "expulsion incident", and Wang Yang and others were scheduled to go to Chicago on Sunday have also been canceled, not because the Oprah talk show canceled their invitation, but because on Sunday, the "Los Angeles Times" suddenly published a news "Chinese American director Rising Star is not lying!", and its official website also released a video.

It turned out that there was a man named "Ian" who suddenly contacted the Los Angeles Times and said that he had a video recording of what happened at the time of the "expulsion incident." He wasn't a USC student, he was just a tourist, and that day he went to USC to play and filmed the campus scenery on DVD, but he didn't expect to encounter the dispute between Wang Yang and Terrance Ben, so he filmed it.

"When this happened, I was watching from a distance, and I thought it was just an ordinary school fight, and I filmed it on DVD with great interest," he said. Then I saw a teacher pull them away, so I went to USC to shoot somewhere else, and then I went home. I didn't know that Wang Yang would be expelled, I only learned the news on TV in the past few days, and I vaguely remember that I seemed to have filmed this video, so I rummaged through it, and I really found it. ”

"As far as I can see, the Chinese director wants to leave, and he doesn't speak, but Terrence Benn keeps provoking him and saying something nasty. Man, it's not Wang Yang who is racist. ”

The video on the official website of the Los Angeles Times is a little blurry, but it is still clear, I saw that far away, Terrence Ben stopped Wang Yang, Wang Yang ignored him and walked away, but he ran to the front to stop Wang Yang again, and began to push, saying racist foul language, due to the long distance of the shooting, the sound was very small, and then, Wang Yang suddenly knocked him down with a few hands and began to punch and kick Terrance.

As soon as this video came out, the truth of the matter was revealed, and fans naturally stopped making trouble, and many people who had scolded Wang Yang before also apologized and turned to scold Terrence Ben and USC.

And the media has reversed course and begun to question USC's censorship process, criticizing their sumptuous dismissal of a student as grossly irresponsible. Now, it was USC's turn to apologize publicly, and official spokesman James Grant told the media seriously that this was a serious mistake they had made, and that they would fire Terence Ben and cancel the expulsion of Wang Yang and welcome him back to USC.

In the news report on the TV screen, Wang Yang, who had been cleared, was in a very good mood, and he said to the reporter's microphone: "I had a very happy time at USC, but then that unpleasant thing happened. I don't want to mention it anymore, and I don't want to hold anyone legally responsible, Terrance Ben got the punishment he deserved, and I got my innocence, enough of that. It's just a stupid farce, it's time to end it. When asked whether he would return to USC to continue his education, he laughed, "Maybe, but not now, I need to go to Chicago to record Oprah Talk Show right now." ”

"Haha!" Jessica looked at the TV and smirked at Mark Alba, "Dad, see what I said, Jan is a good person!"

Mark Alba helplessly didn't speak, and couldn't say anything.

Less than a week before and after this turmoil, although black fans said they would not watch Wang Yang's movies during the period, the box office of "Ghost Shadow" was not affected much, and it received a box office of 31.2415 million in the fourth week, continuing to occupy the throne of the weekly box office champion.

And Wang Yang, Jon Fittimmel and Zachary Levi, also left for Chicago to prepare to record "Oprah Talk Show" on Wednesday this week.
