When Edward from Variety Weekly arrived at the press conference, he was surprised to find that it was not just reporters who came to the scene, or rather, not just serious media reporters.

The room seems to be split in two, with serious media outlets such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post on the left, and gossip newspapers and magazines such as People and USA Weekly on the right.

This is a rare scene, and although both sides are North American media, it is rare for them to appear on a single occasion. It doesn't matter if it's each other's media style type, or, well, serious media don't usually show up with gossip paparazzi, okay.

Moreover, the attitude of independent and serious media such as "The New York Times" and "Variety" towards the paparazzi is as much contemptuous as the arrogance of the film industry towards the television industry.

Therefore, the two groups of media present clearly occupied the left and right wings of the room, maintaining a strange balance between each other.

Shortly after the photographer who arrived with Edward had set up the camera in the back wing of the room, Sid and his party suddenly walked out from behind another door in the front wing of the room.

Seeing Sid appear, everyone stood up excitedly, and a group of photographers also "clicked" the shutter, and the flash crackled and rang one after another.

I saw Sid wearing a dark blue slim suit with a narrow blue, black and white polka dot tie, looking heroic, not inferior to those male models on the catwalk.

But his face was unusually cold and expressionless, followed by Sean, the distribution manager of Fire Lion Pictures, and Henry, the manager of the production department, and their faces were also very serious.

Amid the commotion of the reporters present and the "click" of the camera, Sid and his party sat on the stage that had been prepared long ago.

Sid then nodded to the host, who then opened his mouth and introduced to the reporters present: "Hello everyone, welcome to our press conference at Fire Lion Pictures. ”

Of course, no one was interested in the host's boring crown greetings.

Immediately, the host also said what they were really interested in today, "Today's press conference, Mr. Leon will announce his attitude on the 'Juno incident', and then everyone will have 15 minutes to ask questions. ”

After the host finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Sid, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, and the reporters and paparazzi in the room also looked at Sid.

Sid took out a piece of paper from his suit with an expressionless face, looked at the audience, and then he spoke: "Recently, we at Fire Lion Pictures are very sorry for the incident that happened in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where middle school girls were collectively pregnant. ”

"This is definitely not my intention to create Juno, nor is it the result of the hard work of the crew. ”

"Juno is about tolerance and love, independence and growth, and for both boys and girls, there is something for them. I hope that everyone will not only love Juno, but also treat her wisely and tolerantly, whether it is Juno in the movie or Juno in real life. ”

Although Sid's speech was not unexpected, it made the reporters present, especially those on the serious media side, secretly applaud. Because in this brief speech, Sid neither lectured nor did he make a so-called "reflection" or "apology" to the girls who were pregnant early.

On the contrary, Sid found a new way to call on people to be more tolerant and wise about those underage girls who are pregnant early.

Isn't this a subtle expression, and the movie "Juno" also needs more tolerance than brainless harshness?

Edward of "Variety" Weekly, while listening to Sid's speech, couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart. Sid debuted at the age of 16 and has become one of Hollywood's fastest-rising media forces in just a few years, which seems to be neither luck nor simple effort.

This Hollywood prodigy does have an IQ and EQ that match his amazing performance.

While Edward was still thinking about it, Sid's speech was over. As Sid's words fell, there was a rare moment of silence.

Then, after the host said that they could ask questions, the reporters on the scene immediately raised their arms, and Sid looked around and gently pointed to one of the fat uncles wearing glasses, "Time." ”

The fat uncle immediately stood up, he took the microphone from the staff next to him, helped his glasses, and then asked, "Mr. Leon, what do you think of those middle school girls who claim to want to get pregnant en masse because they watched your "Juno?"

Sid closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and said solemnly, "I forgive you!"

"Huh?" Everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, they couldn't understand Sid's words.

But Sid continued, unmoved: "Someday in the future, perhaps you will regret your actions today. But, I tell you, I forgive you. So, I hope you will accept yourselves too. ”

"Early pregnancy is never easy, it will have a profound impact on your future, but let me tell you one thing, no matter what your final decision is, don't regret it. ”

"Because in the future, you can all be beautiful, independent, and strong women. Sid's words were loud and serious, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

After listening to Sid's words, the reporter from the New York Times couldn't help but applaud first, and then the reporters on the scene applauded one after another.

This completely unexpected, but very striking speech, brought tears to the eyes of most people. Although the early pregnancy incident in Gloucester City has not only shaken the whole of North America, but also caused a considerable discussion in the media and society.

However, in all kinds of neutral and objective discussions, there is no care for these early pregnant girls, and any rules and systems are meaningless if they lack care for people. This is a principle that Sid and his life have never forgotten.

In the following questions and answers, Sid almost completely controlled the field, so that the progress of the entire press conference was under his control. This makes the press conference very rare, and there is no dog blood and horse catching.

Although most of the opportunities to ask questions were given to the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Variety Weekly on the serious media side.

But the gossip media finally seized an opportunity to ask questions.
