Chapter 520: Won (3rd Update)
Seeing Matthew silent, the eyes of the audience fell on him, and this seemingly powerless situation was easily reminiscent of the fact that everything Spike Lee said was true.
Spike Lee's accusations continue, and Matthew remains silent, seemingly unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
"No, it won't. β
"Matthew, is this all tacit?"
Gilberto Silva sat in the front row, but could hear a lot of talk coming from behind.
He ...... Is it really racist?"
"It's a shame. β
"Liar!"
"In vain we support him!"
These voices all reached Gilberto Silva's ears, as if to remind him to do something, and his eyes also fell on Matthew, a little angry, and a little confused, whether it was his attitude or external image, it was clear that this person was with them!
Is it really a liar?
Thinking of the liar, Gilberto Silva's hand fell into the bag again and touched an egg.
In Los Angeles, Vin Diesel had just turned on the TV because of a temporary matter, and just heard Spike Lee's gushing remarks, Matthew Horner, that bastard, seemed to be dumbfounded by Spike Lee, and saw that the charge of racial discrimination was about to be confirmed.
He was in a good mood and went to the bar to pour himself a glass of wine, taking a sip while intending to admire Matthew Horner's embarrassment.
Although Matthew Horner is still calm and silent, he believes that it won't be long before the guy jumps to his feet.
Years of old feud can be avenged, especially since he himself is also personally involved in it, Vin Diesel feels really happy, and he directly kills a glass of whiskey.
Inside a mansion, Jada Smith said to Will Smith, "I said a long time ago that Matthew Horner is no match for Spike. β
Seeing Matthew Horner, who was silent on the TV screen, Will Smith nodded and said with admiration, "When it comes to making trouble with our skin color, there is no one in Hollywood who can compare to Spike Lee." β
Whether Spike-Lee's-stirring stick or heresy, all of his remarks are not tolerated in the context of Hollywood's environment and skin color.
To question that is racial discrimination.
Will Smith glanced at the TV screen again and said to Jada Smith, "Looks like I can just stand up." β
If you want to make the most profit, of course, you have to stand up and speak out, and tomorrow he will be able to do it.
It's a pity that Spike Lee is the biggest limelight.
Inside the houses in the Ximu District, the atmosphere was almost stagnant, everyone pursed their lips and did not speak, and the people they supported were completely passive at the moment.
"Brian, why hasn't Matthew fought back yet. Thomson asked.
"I guess I'm waiting for the best opportunity. Brian knew that Matthew's assistant had gathered a lot of things from here, "Gaining the upper hand now is not called winning." β
Inside the live broadcast hall, Spike Lee looks at Matthew with an almost imperceptible smile on his lips, as if the enemy is about to finish and victory is at hand.
Seventy or eighty percent of what he said was true, and the rest of the lies were completely based on truth, making it difficult to refute, and he was not afraid of Matthew Horner's refutation, and he was waiting for Matthew Horner to speak.
No matter what Matthew Horner says, he has a hundred ways to refute it when skin color is overwhelmingly dominant.
This one, he won!
The smile on Spike Lee's lips grew thicker and thicker, and he was about to take shape, and the victor's smile that he had carefully prepared seemed to be ready to appear at any moment in the next moment.
"Matthew Horner, you lack respect for black people. Spike-Lee kept talking, "No more excuses, you're an extremist!"
With that said, he finally stopped, ready to take a breath before launching an attack that would kill Matthew Horner completely!
Matthew didn't defend himself, and decided not to defend himself for the time being, with the current situation, whatever he said, Spike Lee could refute it, and those-stirring stick-like remarks made even him feel a headache.
So, he pulled out a USB flash drive and a portable hard drive from his pocket.
"Ms. Winfrey. Matthew said to Oprah, "I have some information here." β
He first raised his hand and gestured to the USB flash drive and mobile hard disk in his hand, and then pointed to the huge screen behind the studio, "Can you play it?"
Ever since Spike Lee came to power, Oprah has been invisible because she knows very well how sensitive the issues these two are arguing about, and even though she's black, she doesn't want to interject easily.
"Yes. Oprah knew there was something in Matthew's hands.
She made a gesture, and immediately a staff member came up to the stage and took the USB flash drive and mobile hard disk from Matthew's hand, Matthew also whispered a few words in the staff's ear, and the staff quickly took the USB flash drive and mobile hard disk back to the background.
"What is he going to do?" Spike Lee wondered.
Not only him, but everyone inside and outside the TV was puzzled.
Spike-Lee glanced at Matthew, "Did I have a handle on him?"
Oprah couldn't remain silent at this time, and took advantage of the backstage check and preparation for the broadcast to ask Matthew, "What is this?"
Matthew still looked calm and natural, and said calmly, "A little video material." He suddenly raised his voice, "No matter what you say, it's all unfounded!"
Hearing the latter sentence, the corners of Spike-Lee's mouth trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth to refute.
But Matthew's voice was loud and he spoke very quickly, "After reading this, I think everyone will have a more intuitive impression of me and judge Director Li's words." I won't say more, so as not to be suspected of deliberately misleading everyone. β
Oprah's face was impassive, but he looked up to Matthew a little more in his heart, compared to Spike Lee, who only knew that he was turning over and over and buttoning people's heads with crooked reasoning, Matthew Horner was more self-contained, more calm and calm, and more magnanimous.
In terms of external image and temperament alone, Matthew Horner's few short sentences overwhelmed Spike Lee, and faintly induced the audience to doubt Spike Lee's words that no evidence could prove except for what he said.
This man is not simple!
Oprah, with years of experience and a keen sense of smell, senses that Spike Lee might be ...... today
The wireless headphones hidden under her hair sounded the director's prompt, and Oprah said directly, "Let's look at the big screen first." β
Everyone, including Matthew and Spike Lee, turned their eyes to the big screen on the backdrop wall.
The big screen then lights up, and the photos play automatically like a slideshow.
On the red carpet side of the premiere, Matthew signs an autograph for a black girl, the next one is a hug, and the next one is Matthew at an event, holding a black guy by the shoulders and making a V-shaped gesture together......
"you discrimination!"
Inside the house in Westwood, seeing a photo of himself and Matthew, Thomson said loudly, "F@#@ζ―ζ΄Ύε -Lee, are you too blind in your eyes!"
Backstage, the director commanded, "Switch to Camera No. 3." β
A close-up of Spike Lee's face appears on the television set.
There was no expression on his swarthy face, as if he was stunned.
Without even thinking about it, Thomson raised a middle finger at Spike-Lee on the TV screen, and then the entire house raised his middle finger in unison.
Inside the live broadcast hall, Gilberto Silva's hand withdrew from his bag again, a person who is willing to do so much contact with black people and can still hug intimately, will discriminate?
He looked at Spike Lee, the bastard!
Spike Lee has spent a lot of effort on his saliva, but none of these images are real, and listening to what a third party says in his ears is more impactful than what he sees with his own eyes.
The audience under the stage only thought that Spike Lee was too hateful......
The pictures are flipped one after another, the speed is not slow, but it is enough for people to see clearly, the picture is over, and there are some short videos, and the video is also a scene of Matthew's cordial interaction with black fans, no matter how you look at it, Matthew is not half separated from those black people.
At the end of the video, it was a hospital ward, Matthew hugged a black child with a bare head, picked the child up, and said something intimately, although it was not very real, but it was obviously encouraging the black child.
The ward and bald head immediately reminiscent of leukemia.
At the end of the video, Matthew is holding a black child, and Oprah immediately asks, "Is this a leukemia child?"
"Yes. Matthew nodded and then pointed to the date shown on the video, "This is a leukemia patient I saw at California Medical College in June, when he was not yet six years old. β
He didn't say much, and in this situation, pictures are worth 10,000 times more than words.
And if you talk too much, it will inevitably give people a suspicion of deliberateness.
Spike Lee was silent, he hadn't seen much news about it, and he wondered why Matthew Horner didn't publicize it.
It's okay to take a photo with fans, celebrities need fans, and this is easy to refute, but in the end, this video ......
How did he know that Matthew didn't want to publicize, but he was holding back his big moves, and these things were all accumulated for the next fundraiser, so it was a pitfall...... No, to raise more money.
Oprah asked at this time, "Director Li, do you still think Matthew is suspected of racial discrimination?"
Anyway, she's also black, and this is under a step for Spike Lee, who has already gotten more hints from the director, and Spike Lee will take it when he sees it, and there is still room for buffering in the back.
But Spike Lee has been in a lot of trouble for the past ten years, and without even thinking about it, he said, "What does this mean?" he questioned, "These Hollywood stars are very good at acting, and this is all a show......
"Ms. Winfrey!" Matthew said suddenly, interrupting Spike Lee, "please let the director continue playing." β
