There's nothing wrong with saying that, but having Leonardo DiCaprio spit out forty million dollars is no different from a bloodletting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Leonardo DiCaprio was extremely heartbroken, and felt as if something was tearing his heart, as if a heart would be torn in half in the next moment, and the rational half told him that what the manager said was very correct, this is the best way to deal with it, but the greedy half pulled him and said to him that even if he didn't return the money, it was no big deal, what could those people do with him?

Another point, do you really have to go to the bank for a loan to get the money back?

The $25 million proceeds from "The Great Gatsby" are good to say, most of them are still lying in his account, and most of the more than $10 million from the charitable foundation has been squandered by him.

Most of his daily expenditures are basically bought by a few charitable foundations, that is to say, let those charitable donors buy it, and then go through the management expenses of charitable foundations.

Why is he so zealous about charity? It is one thing to be able to improve one's reputation and style, and another thing is to maintain a luxurious and luxurious life without spending too much money on oneself.

If he spends the money and let him spit it out, it's no wonder if he doesn't feel distressed.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, he knew that Jho Low had generously withdrawn millions of dollars for Leonardo DiCaprio and others to gamble in the casino, and 1MDB had donated millions of dollars to Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation, giving sky-high champagne, art and other valuable gifts.

There may be no legal problem, but in terms of public opinion, it is impossible for the two sides to dissociate themselves from each other.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a smart guy who spits out such a huge amount of money, although he will be distressed and unable to sleep, but in the end he will definitely make a wise choice.

The surroundings were silent, without any sound disturbing, Leonardo DiCaprio stood here, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Okay......"

He said this with great difficulty, as if he would lose his breath at any moment, "Just do as you say." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, took out his mobile phone and started making calls, and the team behind Leonardo DiCaprio immediately launched.

In the afternoon of the same day, Leonardo DiCaprio released information through social platforms that he would cooperate with the FBI and the Department of Justice in the investigation of the suspected money laundering of the investors of "The Great Gatsby", 1MDB Fund and Red Rock Pictures, and would donate $25 million in remuneration to relevant agencies of the United Nations for the protection of children, and also said that if it is determined that his charitable foundation has indeed received gifts and donations from 1MDB, he will return them in full.

The next day, an official response from an administrator of the Leonardo DiCaprio Charitable Foundation said: "In early January, Mr. DiCaprio first learned about the matter through the news of the government's investigation into the producer of The Great Gatsby, and he immediately contacted the FBI and the Department of Justice through his agent to confirm whether he and the foundation received gifts and charitable donations from relevant individuals." If gifts and donations are received, he will return them as soon as possible, and we will fully support the work of the FBI and the Department of Justice. ”

Although there are also related lawyers who point out that Leonardo DiCaprio may face legal problems if he knew in advance that the film investment in "The Great Gatsby" was of unknown origin, or should have known that the investment involved money laundering, but only if evidence of Leonardo DiCaprio's prior knowledge is found.

"Leonardo is not stupid......"

In his office on the Venice warehouse set, Murphy said to James Franco, "How could he be involved in these things?" He's not an idiot like Mike Tyson. ”

"He's a smart guy." James Franco, of course, doesn't underestimate people at the level of Leonardo DiCaprio, "There's a very smart team behind it. ”

Murphy nodded slightly, "Spit out 40 million dollars, presumably Leonardo DiCaprio will be quieter and more restrained this awards season." ”

In fact, the negative news about "Dark City" and James Franco has decreased significantly recently, and Leonardo DiCaprio's publicity and PR team must be busy putting out fires everywhere, where is there still so much time and energy to hack people.

It's also a purpose for Murphy and Bill Rothes to fight back.

"40 million dollars."

Robert Downey Jr., who had not spoken on the other side, spoke, "Leonardo DiCaprio must be depressed and want to vomit blood." ”

He looked at Murphy and asked, "This is really something Gadot came up with." ”

"yes." Murphy admits directly, "It's like a fake." ”

Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but shake his head, "She's learned badly with you." ”

Murphy smiled and took the initiative to change the subject, "How's your preparation?" Filming will start next week. ”

"Absolutely." Robert Downey Jr. said in a stinky way, "Murphy, you'll see, I'm the best actor among us!" ”

James Franco gave him a straight middle finger, "I'm sure you're going to turn Robbie Robinson into Tony Stark." ”

The three of them laughed at the same time.

Although Robert Downey Jr. won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Diego Rose", the most widely known is not the Oscar winner, but Iron Man Tony Stark.

In some ways, this is also a kind of sadness for the Oscars.

After chatting for a while, James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. left Murphy's office, and Murphy continued his work, and after about half an hour, received a call from Carla Firth.

"Good news for you." Carla Firth said on the phone, "The Venice Film Festival also "Focus" is participating in the main competition unit of the film festival! ”

"Good!" Murphy immediately laughed, "Well done!" ”

Twentieth Century Fox must have put a lot of effort into this.

Carla Firth downplayed, "Actually, we didn't do anything, the main thing is that the strength and influence of Catholicism are not as good as before, if it was ten years ago, this film would not even be in Italy." ”

Murphy thought about it, this is indeed the case, even in Italy, the stronghold of the Vatican, the decline of religious power is an indisputable fact.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Carla Firth suddenly changed the subject, "The six major Hollywood companies have joined forces with some second-tier film companies to jointly propose that film management departments on the other side of the Pacific introduce relevant film classification regulations. ”

"I can't help that."

Hanging up the phone, Murphy couldn't help but shake his head, where would Big Scissors follow outside advice?

Until now, "Dark City" has not been released in theaters there, and Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox have long given up public relations, and the lack of box office support from one of the world's largest film markets has to be said to be a pity.

Even so, Murphy has never moved the idea of making Big Scissors change, even if it is this alliance of Hollywood studios, it will inevitably be rejected without hesitation.

The film classification system is obviously beneficial, this is a truth that the whole world understands, and it has been proven in countless markets, even if some countries and regions are very backward, but the big scissors will definitely not pass.

Big Scissors doesn't want a hierarchy or a dividing line, because it doesn't want to be considered pornographic and violent, its restrictions on film and television content reflect the anxieties of the ruling class opposite, film and television content must not "endanger" unity, security and honor, and it should not "distort" history, have explicit ** or gambling scenes, advocate "religious supremacy" or "meticulous depictions of fortune-telling, and ask God for divination".

Even, after 1949, those who wanted to become spirits, demons and ghosts had to stay in peace, and if they wanted the carp to jump over the dragon gate, there was no door.

Theoretically, these are all forbidden with large scissors.

To some extent, the film classification system may lead to the gradual legalization of pornographic and violent films, a fact that cannot be ignored, and it is one of the most feared situations of the ruling class on the other side of the ocean.

Of course, there are some reasons that are not critical, but they can barely be counted as one of them.

For example, this does not meet the requirements of big scissors one-size-fits-all, classification is equivalent to having standards, and it will not be too outrageous if there are standards, some movies that don't want to be on it, under the classification system, always have to struggle to find suitable reasons and excuses, and the current situation is that so-and-so wants to make which movie is not on it, and the excuse is inappropriate.

In any case, film classification is simply a false proposition on the other side of the Pacific, and there is no need to fight for it, like Quentin Tarantino's film, it is too difficult to appear in that market, even if it is introduced, it may be urgently notified by big scissors to be released when it is being screened.

"Dark City" was not released over there, and it is difficult for "Focus" to be released, Murphy's Stanton Studio will not do public relations anyway, and it will be forgotten if it can't be listed, anyway, the world film market is like this, and there are few such strange existences as big scissors.

In any case, Murphy doesn't want to deal with big scissors anymore, and the up-and-down standard is better for Twentieth Century Fox to deal with.

With many actors recruited in place and "Spotlight" about to start filming, Murphy was still busy with the work at hand, which was even more important, and he was busy until 6 p.m., before leaving the office, going to the set to find Gal Gadot, who had also just finished working, and then meeting the bodyguards and getting into the car parked at the door of the set.

"Go home." He said to the driver.

The driver lowered the partition, started the car and left the door of the set, heading for Beverly Hills, followed by the car in which the bodyguard was riding.

Probably tired from work, Gal Gadot didn't say a word, leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, Murphy held one of her hands and closed his eyes as well.

The partition was lowered suddenly, and the voice of the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat sounded, "Sir, there is a car following us behind." ”
