Brian Barlow only felt that he was about to be out of breath, as the current chief reporter of the "San Francisco Chronicle", he has seen countless winds and waves, but even Michael Jackson was involved in the "**** turmoil" for the second time in 2003, he rushed outside the Dream Manor for the first time, and did not encounter such a turbulent crowd. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Brian felt like a sausage being processed in a vacuum compressor, the air around him was gradually withdrawn little by little, his body was squeezed so that he couldn't move at all, even the oxygen in his lungs was squeezed out, he could only pant like a dead fish out of the ocean, his mouth wide open, but even so it was still to no avail.

More than 500 reporters were surrounded at the entrance of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and the crowds stretched down the stairs all the way down, filling all the space in a mighty way, and everyone was trying their best to get closer to the gate, and even some people stood directly on the railings on both sides of the doorway, grabbing the highest point to control the overall situation; The photographers of the TV station carried the camera left and right, trying to fight their way out of the surging tide of newspaper reporters, and the grand occasion of the four major TV stations collectively attending the scene was really rare, but the newspaper reporters did not mean to be polite at all, but also joined hands to squeeze out the competitors of the TV station; Entertainment reporters accounted for most of the scene, but rarely, political reporters and social reporters also arrived at the scene, and the most laughable thing was that sports reporters also came to join in the fun.

Brian looked back sharply, and then saw the crowd that stretched to the side of the road, the open space in front of the courthouse was already flooded, outside the group of reporters, the crowd of bystanders was gathering more and more, and began to affect the road traffic, and the traffic police who maintained order could already be seen at the intersection.

Brian knew that he should be glad that he was in the front, although not at the front, there was still a crowd of two arms long from the door, but at least he could hear the voice from standing here. But at this time, Brian didn't have time to rejoice, because he was about to breathe, the suffocation made him can't scream, he can't wave his hand, and what's even more exaggerated is that his feet are slightly off the ground, he tries to stand on tiptoe, stretching to the extreme, and he can barely touch a little bit of the floor, which is really ...... Between two fires.

But Brian also understands how much "good night, good luck" has sparked a lot of buzz in the past two weeks, how much attention Lancelot has attracted over the past month, and how out of control the scene is today. The truth is that when "good night, good luck" collides with Reims, the wave it sets off is completely rare in a decade.

Raising his gaze, Brian could only barely see Lance's head, and the rest of his body had been obscured by the crowd in front of him, but he could capture the solemnity and heaviness on that handsome face, even if he didn't speak, he could still make people feel the oppressive feeling that rushed to his face.

"'Good night, good luck' is ......" Lance spoke, omitting the polite part, skipping the greeting link, and directly entering the topic, he didn't even let the reporters on the scene be a little quieter, but after he spoke, after a slight pause, the reporters on the scene began to spontaneously make a "shhh" sound from the back, like the wind blowing wheat waves, and in a blink of an eye, the scene was quiet, and suddenly the noise of the engine of the car on the road became extremely clear. "'Good Night, Good Luck' is a script that I co-wrote with George Clooney."

Lance's opening line sets the tone, and instead of condemning George or emphasizing the word "plagiarism," Lance defines the script "Good Night, Good Luck" as a co-author. This really surprised the reporters, because judging by the news that came out yesterday, the situation should have been far more serious, but why did Lance ...... Didn't grab George's pigtails and chase after them? You know, in the United States, infringement is absolutely unforgivable.

"Around 2000, to be exact, George and I talked about the origins of journalism and found that we were both very interested in journalism. I was inspired to try to recreate the Edward R. Morrow years, and the idea was supported by George, who then wrote the first draft, which was then discussed with George, and the script was gradually supplemented and revised in the process. It's a pity that this script has not been able to find the right investors, and has been kept in our drawers, and has not been able to be put on the big screen, which has always been our regret. ”

Lance's narration is plain and sincere, without righteous indignant accusations, without the turbulence of ups and downs, and more about ...... The grief-stricken forbearance reminds people of an important thing: Lance and George are best friends! Now, apparently it was George who betrayed their friendship, and Lance's grief and depression were breathless.

"George later told me that he had found the right investor, but only if the script needed to be changed because our version was too idealistic. At the time, I was busy working on 'Killing with a Knife', and I naturally raised my hands and feet in favor of such a proposal, and I was looking forward to the film being brought to the big screen more than anyone else. However, George said that after the script was revised, the content was far from the original version, so my name was naturally removed from the list of screenwriters. I have no objection to this. In fact, George continued to ask for my opinion during the filming process, we had many discussions, and I couldn't wait for the release of the film. But ......"

The concise words brushed over the events of the past six years, but the emotional weight between the lines weighed heavily on everyone's chest. But when Lance's words paused again, the pain was suppressed to the extreme, and there was no leakage, but it brought a powerful impact, and everyone could deeply feel the damage caused by George's betrayal of Lance.

Especially recalling the past period, George has repeatedly expressed his friendship with Lance in public and private, and Lance's name has always been involved in the internal screening preparation process of "Good Night, Good Luck". At that time, people were kept in the dark, just lamenting the friendship between George and Lance; Now, little by little, the truth is revealed, calm and solemn, but cruel and bloody.

"However, after I watched the film, I realized that the script was very much different from the version we had created, or more accurately, the script was closer to the version I had originally created, and many of the branches that we added were removed. However, my name is not on the list of screenwriters. ”

In fact, Lance is just stating the facts, there is no subjective evaluation, no angry crying, no desperate accusations, not even emphasizing the key points and creating suspense in a subdued tone, just describing the facts in a flat and straightforward manner, but the cold facts have a powerful power, which calms down the noise at the scene, and everyone looks at Lance in front of them.

Brian didn't like Lance, to be precise, he hated Lance, even hated Lance. But today, he has to admit that Lance expressed the most correct point of view in the most correct way. Even if George was able to put forward another version of the statement at this time, it was difficult to win people's sympathy in the face of Lance's calm and objective narrative, because Lance's approach of retreating as advance had already stood on the moral high ground, he was not impassioned, nor angry, but just stated the facts, and then handed it over to the public to judge, "mourning is better than death" The silence will become the most powerful weapon to make the public stand behind Lance.

Of course, Brian will certainly not take Lance's side of the story, and not only that, but he will also try his best to side with George's side to defend himself, and it would be great if it could be proved that Lance was "lying" and that it was all just hype. However, Brian has a ridiculous premonition:

This time, George had nowhere to run.

Those deep blue eyes shone with a determined light, silently concealing all the turmoil and intricacies of the heart, "So, I am here to file a formal appeal, hoping that the law will make the right judgment." With that, Lance nodded slightly, and then stepped to the side, ready to leave the scene, as if there was no additional comment to make.

Brian thought it was funny, as smart as George, as wise as George, how could he make such a glaring mistake? Could it be that the relationship between George and Lance has really reached such an extent that it is like water and fire? What's even more interesting is that Brian finds that his emotions are on Lance's side, agreeing with Lance's statement and assuming that George is the guilty side...... The matter has not yet been judged, and it seems that the results have already been in.

The reporters were stunned, and then they began to move, scrambling to start screaming, "Why did George hide your name", "What happened between you and George", "Did you have a disagreement in the creative process", "Did you sell your creative rights to George", "Is there any communication misunderstanding between you and George", "What happened to make George take risks"......

In fact, there is one biggest loophole in Lance's statement, that is, why did George do this? George knew Lance's current status, and he knew that Lance would watch movies, how could he be so stupid as to throw himself into the net? Naturally, reporters will not let go of this loophole easily, and an overwhelming number of questions have poured in.

But Lance had no intention of answering.

Today, Lance didn't show all the hole cards, and he deliberately left the loophole, and he didn't plan to fill it, because he didn't plan to turn it over because he didn't plan to turn it over the old yellow calendar about Diora Pictures. However, Lance knew that George would not let go of this loophole easily, and the bait was already left, so how would George choose? (To be continued.) )
