At midnight, as the noise at Carter's house gradually subsided, Emerson Carter turned back to his mother and said, "I'll go to bed and check the news." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" habitually opened Javier Ulliel's personal blog to update the latest news, and then found that Javier had updated a blog five minutes ago, and the content of the blog was only a link.

Curious, Emerson clicked on it and found that it was actually a post in the entertainment version of the Yahoo community, "The real first draft of 'Good Night, Good Luck', the truth about plagiarizing the door", the poster is ...... Dylan Wilde, it's a familiar name, like a paparazzi or a journalist.

Slowly pulling down the mouse, Emerson saw a scan of a handwritten manuscript, with mottled tea stains on the yellowed white paper, and the handwriting next to it was a little messy and crowded, and it could be seen that there were many annotations next to the original manuscript.

"Emerson!" There was a heavy slapping sound behind him, and Lily Carter's brisk voice sounded in Emerson's ears like thunder, but Lily quickly noticed that Emerson didn't seem to be frightened, but just quickly turned his head, "The first draft of the script for 'Good Night, Good Luck', do you think this is Lance's handwriting?" ”

Lily immediately put away her mischievous thoughts, looked over, and looked carefully, "Look, here." Lily pointed to the top right, "L-Strello, 06/12/1998", the ink was already a little blurred, but faintly visible, "This is Lance's signature!" Lance's last signature on my shirt, that's it. Lily looked excited, "So, is this really the first draft of the script?" Hasn't George Clooney already apologized? Admit he's just a plagiarist? So why upload it again? ”

In their opinion, the so-called excuses are too clumsy for them to believe.

Emerson shook his head, "I don't know. Emerson took a quick look at it, neither of them had seen the movie "Good Night, Good Luck", so they didn't know what the connection between the first draft and the movie was, and the post continued to scroll down to see a full eight pages of handwritten manuscripts, and at the bottom of the post, Dylan Wilde explained further:

"Viewers who have watched 'Good Night, Good Luck' will see that this handwritten manuscript fits more than 60 percent of the film's content, and this manuscript is from Lancelot-Strello's first draft. Perhaps, now we can understand why Lance looked so ugly after watching the New York screening of 'Good Night, Good Luck'. ”

"Liar!" Emerson blurted out and scolded directly, and raised the mouse fiercely and swung it towards the wall, trying to vent his anger, but Lily grabbed Emerson's arm, took the mouse in her hand, and continued to browse, but Emerson couldn't help it at all, "That shameless liar!" There is still a face to quibble there? Nauseating! Not only plagiarizing someone else's creation, but also openly saying that everything is wrong? What a shame! ”

Lily pushed Emerson away directly, and continued to browse the post, netizens were impassioned, copyright awareness has been deeply rooted in the blood of Americans, for plagiarism and deception, no one can accept it, not to mention, "good night, good luck" In the past half a month, it is definitely the most lively topic on the Internet, it can be said that netizens have almost single-handedly hyped the topic of this work to the peak, but now they find themselves as accomplices, stupidly shouting and cheering for a plagiarized work, which is simply a shame. As a result, netizens exploded, just like Emerson.

Lily skipped through the embarrassing words and found useful information, "I watched 'Good Night, Good Luck' in Chicago last Thursday, and the shock of the movie has not dissipated for a long time, but now the shock has turned into shame because of this post." More than 60 percent of the eight handwritten manuscripts posted in the post are identical to the actual film, which means that most of the film's content comes from Strello's creation. Clooney admitted Strello's creative qualifications and admitted the negligence of his assistant, but in the face of the ironclad facts, Clooney could no longer quibble, he not only plagiarized Strello's works, but also deprived Strello of his authorship, and deceived the masses, which is despicable! ”

After a gap of two dozen angry posts, another said, "At least more than half of the film is the same as the manuscript, and the lines have not changed." If this manuscript had really been by Lancelot Strello, it would have been a moment of shame for George Clooney. ”

Just below, another post said, "No wonder the script for 'Good Night, Good Luck' is so good, it turned out to be by Lancelot." I wondered if George's playwriting skills were not very good, and now I finally got an explanation. ”

Lily's right hand drooped a little weakly, and then suddenly her brain was controlled by anger, and she slammed the mouse against the wall, "That shameless bastard! ”

Emerson was startled and looked back at Lily, but was only stunned, and then came back to his senses, "We have to make a big deal out of it!" That Inglourious Bastard must not be allowed to escape! Emerson clenched his fists, "We're calling all the fans right now and letting everyone see the true colors of George Clooney!" The assistant's mistake? Hell blunder! ”

Dylan's post, spread by Javier's blog, like a virus, spread rapidly in the dark night of reaching out to the five fingers, when the dawn came, the click rate of the post had reached 3 million, and the reply floor exceeded 40,000, and it immediately became the hottest post within 24 hours.

What's even more terrifying is that not only the Yahoo community, this post has been promoted on major portals, but also blogs have sprung up, everyone has begun to reprint the news, and the entire Internet discussion has skyrocketed, even crazier than the day of the "plagiarism" outbreak.

"Mistakes? Or is it deliberate? Plagiarism Door Latest Progress, Unveiled! ”

"George Clooney's mistake ruined his reputation! Is the plagiarism door intentional? ”

"The first draft of Lancelot-Strello was leaked, and the incident went in a different direction again."

"Plagiarism convictions? The latest evidence has appeared, and the balance of the verdict has been reversed again! ”

"The decisive evidence is out, and the plagiarism door has changed again."

"Was the first draft of 'Good Night, Good Luck' a mistake or an intentional attempt?"

"Tearing the skin, Strello and Cloney's friendship is in an emergency!"

"Clooney's reputation hangs by a thread, can the plagiarism door be reversed?"

"Confusing, plagiarism, the latest evidence has reappeared, George Clooney vs Lancelot Strello, second round."

"Who is the main writer of the script for 'Good Night, Good Luck'?"

"From praise to disrepute, where is 'good night, good luck'?"

"Talented, or shameless plagiarism, George Clooney stands at the fork in the road in his career."

……

In just one night, not only the Internet, but also the major news media exploded collectively, and almost everyone focused on the "plagiarism door". In particular, George has publicly clarified the facts, but overnight, things have turned upside down, and it seems that all the evidence is moving in George's favor. At George's press conference, he emphasized that Lance's creative percentage was only 30 percent, so he was at the bottom of the three screenwriters, which led to the assistant omitting Lance's name when applying for copyright. But now it seems that this is not the case.

If George had bravely admitted his mistake, maybe things would have settled down soon, but George pushed the mistake to the assistant and defended it, not to mention that this defense was weak, even if the excuse could fight the crowd, it was difficult to resist in the face of ironclad facts at this time.

The attitude of the major media outlets is almost unanimous, whether it is East Coast or West Coast, no matter how well-connected George is, there is no other option in the face of copyright issues. Even those media outlets who are willing to speak for George refuse to jump to conclusions at best, saying that "the matter needs to be further discussed", but they are unwilling to defend George; Not to mention the "New York Times", "Washington Post", "Wall Street Journal" and other media outlets, which almost launched an on-the-ground attack on George, with overwhelming condemnation and curses pouring down, almost making people have nowhere to escape.

Even if George could have come up with a better argument at this point, even if Lance had said that the matter had been written off, the cross of plagiarism and quibbling had weighed heavily on George's shoulders, leaving him with little respite to resist. What's more, Lance is not so easy to "write off". Therefore, at this moment, George is really caught in the whirlpool of isolation and helplessness, and it seems inevitable that he will be ruined.

George sat in the first-class seat of the plane, twisted his head out the window, tried to ignore the malicious gaze in the cabin, stared blankly at the thick clouds outside the window, and his whole brain had completely fallen into a state of crash, although he was now in a suit and leather shoes, he felt like a lost dog, fleeing from the paparazzi in a hurry, fleeing from the airport passengers in a panic, and almost entering the cabin in a hiding posture, even so, the omnipresent sight of the flight attendants and fellow passengers was still like a net, So that he has nowhere to run.

Confused, George felt confused for the first time, as if he couldn't see any light ahead, the whole world was black and oppressive, and if he struggled, he couldn't get rid of it. George finally understood that all this was a trap, and Lance had carefully planned and waited for the day when he had fallen into the trap, and Lance would never give up easily.

He lost, really lost, not because he wasn't smart enough, but because he wasn't sinister and cunning enough for Lance, who actually spent nearly four years deceiving him and laying down this dead end, so forbearing, so cruel, so cold-blooded, he was really slightly inferior.

It's just that George forgot who started this game first. (To be continued.) )
