"I auditioned for Pirates of the Caribbean: Coffin of the Soul, and I was originally scheduled to play the witch Tia Maddow, and just as I was about to sign with the crew, the actor Matthew Horner showed up. ”

In the video, it is a black woman who speaks, and Matthew is standing in front of a computer screen, vaguely feeling familiar.

Helen Herman and David Ellison stood next to him, and the two didn't say anything and continued to watch the video.

The black woman said in the video, "Matthew Horner asked the crew to kick me out, and then replaced it with white actor Eva Green, and everyone saw the final result, I, a black actor, lost the role of a witch, and Eva Green became the actor who played the witch......"

The video was not long, it was only a few minutes, and it was over quickly.

"Do you know her?" asked David Ellison.

After this meeting, Matthew gradually thought about it and said, "I should know." ”

Helen Herman answered, "Her name is Naomi Harris, and someone recommended her to the Pirates of the Caribbean crew at the time, and the crew did want her to play Tia Mado, but I asked Matthew to help recommend Eva Green. ”

Matthew nodded, "Yes, later I teamed up with Keira Knightley to recommend Eva Green to the crew, and the crew gave us two faces, so they replaced Naomi Harris with Eva Green." ”

David Ellison wondered, "She's telling the truth?"

Matthew shrugged, "Eighty percent is true. ”

"There should be someone behind this woman. Helen Herman frowned at this time and said, "None of the words she said directly accused of racial discrimination, but the first thing that comes to mind after you watch it is that Matthew is suspected of racial discrimination." ”

David Ellison took a step back and forth and asked, "Could such accusations at this time have anything to do with Spike Lee?" ”

Matthew was calm, "It's hard not to connect people. ”

"Eighty percent related. Helen Herman had just finished speaking when Matthew received a text message from Bella Anderson.

The content of the text message is still related to the video, Matthew opens the video on the computer, and the person in the video is Paula Barton.

This is also a direct reference to Matthew's video, in which Paula Barton vividly describes how Matthew interfered with the casting of "I Am Legend" and made her lose her upcoming supporting actress.

"I don't know why it's like this, and it's not clear why Matthew Horner helped Alexandra Daddario steal the supporting actress that was originally mine, is it just because I'm black and Alexandra Daddario is white?"

The accusations of the two men, combined with Spike Lee's remarks, caused an uproar on the Internet, and despite the work done by Matthew and Helen Herman that night, the next day the wave appeared in many traditional media outlets, such as newspapers and television stations, and the impact was not small.

Subsequently, someone came forward to break the news, and several people familiar with the so-called "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew and the "I Am Legend" crew broke the news that Matthew does not like black actors, which is a well-known thing in these two crews, saying that Matthew not only let the crew fire two black actresses, but also excluded other black staff members in the crew......

Although Warner Bros. and Disney Studios, as well as the crew of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", the crew of "I Am Legend" and the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have successively released rumors, saying that the choice of actors is the decision of the crew, and it has little to do with Matthew.

Francis Lawrence went on to interview reporters and accused Matthew of squeezing him out of the "I Am Legend" crew because of his insistence on using black actors.

An unknown black actor jumped out and shouted that when filming "The Scorpion King", he was abused by Matthew on the set......

A black screenwriter told the media that Matthew forced the script to be revised, demanding that the roles of black characters be reduced and the roles of white characters increased......

It only took a little more than a day, just looking at the accusations and the news in the media, Matthew could have been thrown into prison by a California court for "racial discrimination".

Matthew, of course, will not sit idly by in this regard, and Helen Herman also acted as a spokesperson and publicly issued a statement to refute the rumors, but the effect was not very good.

In the past few years, his career has been smooth sailing, and when he was taking a good road, the media seemed to be singing praises, and Matthew's current reputation and status have something to do with most of the media's intentional or unintentional star-making.

Star-making is undoubtedly one of the most happy things for the entertainment media to do, because it can attract readers and attract attention, and destroying stars after star-making is also one of the things they are most willing to do.

When a star is raised to a certain height, and then he is ruined with a large amount of negative news, the news value that can be generated can be imagined.

The most typical is Tom Cruise.

When Matthew, who had a smooth journey, saw that he encountered a huge headwind and seemed to be about to turn into a water dog, many media outlets did not mind changing their position, joining the camp of headwinds, and ran over and stepped on their feet hard.

The opponent was obviously prepared, and their side was somewhat caught off guard.

"Mr. Horner, is it true that there are so many people in the Hollywood industry who are accusing you of racism against black actors and black staff?"

At the door of the angel agency, Matthew had just gotten out of the car and was surrounded by dozens of reporters.

He and Helen Herman were prepared, not only increased the number of bodyguards around them, but the angel agency also had a doorman who specialized in dealing with reporters' paparazzi.

More than a dozen bodyguards and doormen formed a circle and firmly protected Matthew.

The reporters and paparazzi couldn't get close to Matthew, but it didn't stop them from asking questions.

"Matthew, what do you think of the recent media reports about your alleged racism?"

"As a public figure, Matthew Horner, aren't you ashamed to discriminate against black people?"

Hearing this from the jumbled voices, Matthew turned his head to look at a black reporter.

"Are you going to quit Hollywood?"

"Matthew Horner, the reports are all true......

All kinds of questions were thrown from the mouths of the reporters and paparazzi, some of them were even very ugly, even if the whole incident was still in the stage of suspicion, the so-called discrimination was only said from the mouths of some people, but there was no evidence, and these guys couldn't wait to nail Matthew to the pillar of shame.

Matthew didn't answer any questions, and there is no need to answer them now, he had Helen Herman issue a public statement refuting those who attacked him, but it was better than nothing.

In fact, he can see the mentality of media practitioners, and he has been in contact with Yelena Boyar, and in this case, he is not a racist, and he is of little value to the entertainment media, if he is really racist, it will become a hot news in the United States.

You can imagine which side most entertainment media will choose.

Those who are hiding behind the scenes are probably well aware of this mentality of the media.

Escorted by bodyguards, Matthew entered the angel agency, and in just two days, it was normal for him to be besieged by reporters like this.

"Spike Lee should be behind this. ”

In Helen Herman's office, the characters on Matthew's team are almost over, and Helen Herman said, "It should have been him who organized the tandem and then started it, similar events Spike Lee has done before, but this one is the largest." ”

Matthew nodded and said, "I underestimated Spike Lee. ”

Yelena Boyard then answered, "As far as I know, the situation in the media is not very optimistic, and many entertainment media are ready to treat you as a second Tom Cruise, and the racial problem is far more serious than Tom Cruise's faith problem. ”

"But Matthew wasn't racist. Amanda answered.

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew, and only she could vaguely guess some of Matthew's thoughts among all the people present, but she also knew that Matthew never showed them, and those thoughts were just at the level of ideas.

"I have ......never discriminated against anyone, at any time and on any occasion," Matthew is very confident in this. ”

He has always known priorities, and he has never said anything nonsense.

If I had to say that I had discriminated against anyone in words or deeds, it was only Keira Knightley's breasts.

Helen Herman asked lawyer Wilson, "What about the legal aspect?"

Lawyer Wilson answered, "I'll send them a lawyer's letter, but the effect is ...... you know."

Bella Anderson chimed in, "Are we going to do nothing more than that statement?"

"Yes, of course. Amanda said suddenly, "We ......"

Then, noticing Helen Herman's eyes, she closed her mouth.

Helen Herman said, "We had an appointment with Oprah, we were supposed to be on her talk show, I just contacted her in the morning, Matthew, you have to be prepared to be troubled." ”

She saw Matthew nodding and said, "I will continue to communicate with her and settle the contract as soon as possible."

At the same time, there are people who want to join in the fight against the water dogs.

"Will, this is indeed an opportunity. ”

Inside a mansion in Santa Monica, CAA's big-name agent Kevin Howayne persuaded his number one client, Will Smith, "But as far as I understand, Matthew Horner and Helen Herman are not simple characters, and they have done nothing but a public statement so far, which is a bit abnormal." ”

He said solemnly, "We have to be cautious. ”

Will Smith nodded slightly, "I know. So I'm going to get Jada to step in so I can take the opportunity to step on Matthew Horner hard and leave plenty of room to step back. Moreover, the awards season is coming, and one of my goals for this year's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is the Oscars. ”
