Chapter 654: Troublesome Man
This is the second time that Leila has visited the police station here, and the last time she was "invited" because of the biker party and the coffee shop, which also made her know the chief here, and asked him to connect with him during the filming of "Iron Man", and made a deal with his big brother in the military, lending the latest armaments, weapons and equipment.
So this time, she asked the lawyer to bail and went directly into the director's office.
Seeing Leila's arrival, the director was not surprised at all. Bringing all her heavyweight actors, how could this big boss behind the scenes not appear? If he really didn't appear, it meant that Downey was not important enough to be worth paying attention to.
But how is that possible? A $100 million or $200 million movie has just been given to Downey as the lead role, and I wonder how much effort their company has put into him.
"What the hell is going on, is there any help?" said Leila as she entered the director's office.
The director pressed his hand and motioned for her to sit down: "Now I understand that Donnie got into a fight with someone and sent him to the hospital." ”
"Just fighting?" didn't hear what she was expecting, which made Lyra's tense nerves relax a lot. God knows how scared she was that he would go back and suck the forbidden stuff. If it's just a fight, you can also fight a news offensive to wash white, and the situation shouldn't be too bad.
The director glared at her: "Isn't it enough to fight? Do you know who he hit?"
"Very powerful person?"
"It's a troublesome person, to be exact. The director shook his head and said a name.
Not to mention, this person Leila really listens to talk, and has even seen him at several drinking parties. It's just that there is no intersection between the two families, so there is not much involvement.
"How did you get involved with this person?" she muttered.
That person can indeed be described as "troublesome", his family is in the retail business, and he owns several large supermarkets in the country. There are other industries that can also be squeezed into the top 100 in the United States.
This guy's family has money, but because he is an explosive household, he can't keep up with the ability to make money in terms of upbringing. Not all nouveau riche will be so vulgar, it is really this family that is more bizarre, which will attract the disgust of many people.
When Leila used to attend drinking parties with her family, she often heard people complaining about their speech and behavior and the way they were dressed behind their backs. also discussed the "incompetence" of this son, as well as some things that can't be put on the table.
The upper class has the lifestyle of the upper class, you can be amorous but not lewd, and if it is really lewd, it is better to have the ability to clean up. The strange thing about this family is that they are not only amorous but also obscene, not only are they obscene but they can't control the situation, and those tabloids can make a lot of money just by reporting what happened in their family.
At that time, she didn't take this person to heart, mainly because she felt that she was a director, and she would not have anything to do with such a person, who would have thought that she was really going to bump into it now?
Fortunately, they had indeed met before, and they had said hello, so even if it didn't matter, they should be able to say a couple of words. Whether a fight is big or small, it depends on what the person concerned does. If reconciliation can be made, it is natural that big things can be turned into small things.
The director saw what she was thinking: "If you think that reconciliation will solve the problem, I advise you not to waste your efforts." He had already put down his words before, and no matter who came forward, he would definitely let Donnie go to jail. ”
Leila frowned, "Is the fight serious?"
The director smiled and shook his head: "At first glance, you will know that you will not understand those who are very young. It is more uncomfortable for them to hurt their face than to hurt their bodies. By tomorrow morning at the latest, the fact that he was beaten to the hospital by Donnie will be known to countless people, do you think he will ever forgive him?"
Leila understood what he meant, that is, the guy who was beaten up by Donnie was a bastard, and the person who beat him up was going to jail at any cost, and it was impossible to make a big deal as she thought.
But even if she knows this, she still has to give it a try, after all, the publicity of the movie has already been played, and if Downey is accused, it will have a major impact on her and the movie. When the time comes, don't say you will make a lot of money, and you will have to thank God for taking care of you if you don't lose money.
Imagine who wants to see a person with a case on his back play a superhero? Especially those comic book fans, who will definitely be on the front lines of protest, thinking that Leila has chosen a poor candidate and humiliated their superhero.
So even if it was a little bit better, Leila wanted to nip the case in the bud. Even if you can't seal the paparazzi's mouth, it's best to put on a layer of a friend's quarrel like the last time I fought with Roy.
When the director saw that she had made up her mind, he stopped persuading her, and he would come back when he hit the wall anyway.
When I came out of the director's office, I saw Roy outside. That's when Leila remembered that he was here waiting for news.
"Any news new?" she walked up to him.
"No, I still can't see Donnie, and the police don't want to reveal the news when they say they're working on the case. Roy scratched his head angrily: "It stands to reason that Donnie shouldn't fight with someone for no reason, you want to find a way to meet him, I think there may be some misunderstanding in it." ”
Leila sighed and suppressed the irritability floating in her heart: "Whether he is for no reason, or for a reason, it is not right to beat someone anyway." He should be clear that he is a public figure and the protagonist of an upcoming movie. No matter what others do to him, he should put up with it, right?"
Roy really didn't know how to refute her words.
Not to mention anything else, they are actors, and there will be big-budget movies waiting to capture the summer file in the near future, even if they encounter big things, they have to find a way to suppress them. If everyone does things before the release like this, is anyone willing to ask them to make a movie?
It's just that he understands that he understands, and he also knows that what Donnie is not doing is right, that it is a friend in the end, and that it also involves Leila's company, so he can't help but make things clear. No matter who you are on, the ultimate way is to figure things out first and then find a way to solve them.
"I still think it's better to get things figured out first, and I'm sure Donnie, since he's promised not to do it again, he'll be able to do it. You should have also seen how serious and hard he worked when making movies, didn't he?"
Leila frowned and nodded, admitting that he had been moved by him. When filming "Iron Man", she saw Downey's performance in her eyes, and she also knew how hard he worked for the movie. There are many places that need a stand-in, he would rather fall and be scarred than go into battle in person for the final effect, the worst one was to fall into the wall from mid-air, causing a broken arm bone, and the nosebleed did not stop for a long time, or sent to the hospital for treatment before it was treated.
