Chapter 289 is full of suspicions

Arnold Schwarzenegger's governor during this period should be so proud that there have even been incendiary statements that Schwarzenegger will seek higher political goals and run for president of the United States after the end of his governorship. If successful, Schwarzenegger will become the second president in U.S. history to become a movie star after Reagan.

Putting aside the suspicion of deliberate media hype, Schwarzenegger now does have the strength to run for the presidency of the United States, he has accumulated enough political credentials in the position of governor of California, and the special status of a movie star gives him an extra layer of advantages over others in terms of voter popularity. And most importantly, his wife, Maria Shriver, came from the prestigious Kennedy family. Schriver is the niece of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, her father Sargent Shriver is the president of Special Olympics, and her parents are the only couple in the United States to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As a model couple in Hollywood, Schwarzenegger and his wife have never had scandals, which is also the key to his ability to easily step into politics from the right and wrong circle of Hollywood.

Now that he has sat on the governor's throne, Schwarzenegger naturally does not want to have too much to do with the Hollywood entertainment industry. But after all, Schwarzenegger's movie star imprint is too deep, and there are some things that he still can't completely stay out of, such as the recent Hollywood media rumored that the Terminator series launched a sequel movie, which once attracted Schwarzenegger's attention.

Warner Company is not short of money in their hands, but they chose to cooperate with MGM to shoot this movie, Xiang Zhuang Wujian intends to Pei Gong's idea in the eyes of discerning people The intention is very clear, which is nothing more than to "tie" Lin Mingyang and this new Terminator series of movies. What puzzled Schwarzenegger was that in the end, the two sides actually pushed a little-known rookie director to the forefront.

Both the media and fans who follow the film want to know: Who is this Barus? Schwarzenegger also had some curiosity about this newcomer who was favored by the two film companies at first, but as the media investigation deepened, the various experiences of Barrus and his people appeared in the public eye one by one, and then everyone suddenly realized that this Barrus was just the product of Lin Mingyang's "madness" again.

After Barrus's "old bottom" was completely exposed by the media, Schwarzenegger also lost interest in continuing to pay attention to him, and even his attention to "Terminator 4" began to cool down. Originally, this matter would soon be left behind by the busy governor, but the director of Barrus didn't know which nerve was on the wrong line, so he actually ran to his official office and generously invited himself to return to "Terminator 4" to make a cameo.

If a big director like James Cameron and Spielberg came to visit in person, Schwarzenegger would naturally politely invite someone into his office, and then have to go to great lengths to find a plausible reason to decline the other party. can be replaced by a "little person" like Barrus, Schwarzenegger is not interested in meeting him, and Barrus made him eat a closed door when he first came to Schwarzenegger.

originally thought that Barrus would retreat from the difficulty, but who knew that this guy was very resilient, and during this time, he came to the door every once in a while, although he was stopped by his assistant, but Schwarzenegger was still a little unhappy by this uninteresting guy.

In the final analysis, in Schwarzenegger's eyes, Barus is a poker card played out in Lin Mingyang's hand, which is clearly used to test his own bottom line, and Schwarzenegger naturally will not have a good face for this guy.

Today, Barrus "tirelessly" came to the door again, Schwarzenegger was holding back a fire at first, and he was even ready to let his assistant notify the security guard to drive Barrus away directly, but this time Barrus actually "well-behaved" did not make a request to meet Schwarzenegger, but brought a strange envelope.

After Assistant Will handed the envelope to Schwarzenegger, he did not leave immediately as usual, but stood aside with a curious face, staring at the envelope he had just handed over. Being able to work as an assistant by Schwarzenegger's side, Will can also be regarded as one of Schwarzenegger's henchmen, and people like him always have a little more vision than ordinary people.

Taking the envelope from Barrus's hand, Will could already instinctively sense from the other party's expression that the contents of this envelope were unusual. In the past, Barrus came to the governor's office with a sincere and fearful attitude, but this time, Barrus's face was not as respectful as before, and his expression was a little more anxious, as if this envelope would be hot, he hurriedly stuffed things into his hands, and then his face was a look of wanting to leave immediately.

Before knocking on the door and entering the governor's office, Will had secretly weighed the envelope, which, judging from his experience, might contain a stack of photographs. The purpose of Barrus's visit to Schwarzenegger should be very clear, and at this time he took out these photos, and what exactly they meant was very interesting, and the assistant even had a faint smell of something very abnormal.

Will could think of it, Schwarzenegger, who was sitting at the desk and was silent, of course, could also think of it, he hesitated, and was about to tear open the envelope, when he suddenly found his assistant's eyes staring directly at the envelope, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Schwarzenegger decisively stopped what he was doing, opened the drawer and threw the envelope directly into it, and smiled at his assistant as if nothing had happened: "Will, what did Mr. Barrus say when he handed you the envelope?" ”

"He said that this is something that Mr. Lin asked him to pass on to you, as if he didn't know what was inside." As a competent assistant, Will immediately realized that he had made a very stupid mistake, and he should not have tried to snoop into his boss's secrets. Schwarzenegger didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he must have become dissatisfied with him.

Schwarzenegger frowned, "Mr. Ballus didn't mention anything else... For example, what about a cameo in a movie? ”

Will shook his head decisively, and from Schwarzenegger's contemplative expression, he suddenly realized that it was better for him to touch this matter less. The matter has already involved the game at the level of Lin Mingyang and Schwarzenegger, and he will definitely be twisted to pieces if he is a small person casually mixed up. Thinking of this, his back was already in a cold sweat.

After a long silence, Schwarzenegger finally waved him out, much to Will's relief.

Knowing that his "mission" was completed, Barrus didn't want to stay and wait for Schwarzenegger to reply, and left in a hurry. His reaction was seen by Will, and his previous judgment was more and more confirmed.

At this time, Schwarzenegger, who was sitting in the office, had no intention of working, he took the envelope out of the locked drawer, held it in his hand and hesitated for a long time. He really couldn't figure out what Lin Mingyang sent to him and what the purpose was, and in the end, he chose to open the envelope without having a clue.

When the first photo was pulled out of it, Schwarzenegger's heart suddenly cooled. After a long pause, he didn't go through the rest of the photos, knowing that all the photos were taken with the same content.

Schwarzenegger solemnly put the photo into the secret secret cabinet of the office, but after thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy, this thing is a time bomb left by his side, and it must be dealt with immediately, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

After making up his mind, Schwarzenegger sat back in his office chair and covered his head with his hands, his heart already in a mess. He couldn't figure it out, he thought he was doing this very secretly, and he didn't even know about his wife, how did Lin Mingyang know?

What worries Schwarzenegger even more is what is Lin Mingyang's intention in taking these things to himself? If you want to take the opportunity to extort, Schwarzenegger's net worth is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the other party.

If he wants to use his special position as a governor to seek some kind of shady interests for him, Schwarzenegger can't find any intersection between Lin Mingyang's industrial interests and his own scope of power, and his own governor may not be a great position in the eyes of people at Lin Mingyang's level. Even if it is magnified, if Lin Mingyang wants to be a careerist in remote control politics behind the scenes, it is too obvious to choose himself as a proxy target.

The entertainment media field is not as "politically sensitive" as energy and high technology, and he has to deal with the government at every turn, Lin Mingyang has always shown an indifferent attitude towards politics, and even many of his films have the ideological intention of satirizing American politics, saying that he wants to secretly interfere in American politics It is simply a joke.

Schwarzenegger ignores the existence of Barrus's intermediary at the beginning, and when he finally realizes this, he finally finds a clue.

Lin Mingyang wants to use this to coerce himself into participating in the performance of "Terminator 4"?

As soon as this seemingly absurd thought came out of his head, Schwarzenegger's whole body fell into deep thought, which is the most likely explanation at the moment, but it is also full of doubts.

Schwarzenegger couldn't even imagine what the consequences of the photos that Schwarzenegger had been holding firmly in the envelope under his hand would have if they appeared in the media. What Lin Mingyang has in his hands is almost a "fatal" existence for the current Schwarzenegger, just let himself make a cameo appearance in a movie, can he use such a "mobilizer" to threaten himself?

If it is just to achieve that goal, such a threat is inevitably a bit of a fuss, not to mention that the role of Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 4" is not essential, Lin Mingyang does not need to use this way to force himself to "comply", after some careful consideration, Schwarzenegger finally came to the conclusion that Lin Mingyang's purpose of handing over these photos to himself did not contain any malice, and even a disguised reminder of himself.

Things were not as bad as he imagined at the beginning, which made Schwarzenegger breathe a long sigh of relief, only Lin Mingyang did not intentionally target himself, and the next deal was much easier.

――――

"Aren't you worried that our governor will get angry after receiving that envelope and then do anything to deal with you?" In one of the most luxurious suites of the Playboy Club in Las Vegas, Hugh Hefner was still wearing his scarlet dressing gown, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and looked at Lin Mingyang sitting opposite him with a smile.

"If he's really stupid enough to be the kind of person you say, do you think he might take the governor's seat?" Lin Mingyang snorted nonchalantly, "Learning to compromise is a necessary quality for politicians. ”

"So what do you think Schwarzenegger will do next?" Hugh Hefner stared at Lin Mingyang with interest, the founder of Playboy now relies on hearing aids to be able to talk to Lin Mingyang normally, but he is still interested in this kind of thing related to celebrity scandals.

"Tell your people, don't try to track this down again" Lin Mingyang's tone suddenly became cold, and the chill made Hugh Hefner feel a little frightened.

"I've never asked anyone to do that, but there's always someone who likes to sell me these interesting things... As a politician, Schwarzenegger's weakness is too obvious, and a slightly smarter opponent will make a fuss about it, and if we don't talk about it, sooner or later someone will expose it. ”

"At least until the end of his term, I don't want to see any claims about this in the media" Lin Mingyang's tone had an unquestionable flavor, which made Hugh Hefner a little difficult to refute, but he was more puzzled in his heart.

"You've been trying to shelter Schwarzenegger in this matter, and I wonder why?"

Lin Mingyang pouted, "He used to be my idol, although his image in my heart is no longer perfect, but I hope that in the hearts of those fans who like him as much as I do, his good image can be maintained forever... Everyone will make mistakes sometimes, but not everyone will have a chance to turn back."

Hugh Hefner snorted dissatisfiedly, "I think it's normal for a man to like multiple women at the same time, so marriage seems to me to be an extremely hypocritical relationship. Don't you think that people should live in the world by indulging in pleasures and wearing a mask of hypocrisy? ”

"But there are people who willingly accept this pain"

"And then like Schwarzenegger, sleep with your own housekeeper?" Hugh Hefner sarcastically said: "If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, I can't believe that Schwarzenegger would have had an affair with such a woman and gave birth to an illegitimate child." Anyway, his wife can be regarded as a beauty, but the appearance of his housekeeper will give me nightmares when I look at it twice... I have to say that Schwarzenegger's taste is really flattering."

Lin Mingyang did not refute Hugh Hefner's statement, but finally left a sentence: "Schwarzenegger continues to be his governor, you continue to enjoy your own life, everyone has their own way, anyway, this matter ends here"
