After being abducted by McKellen, Daniel's life in New Zealand has become much more regular, well, in fact, it can't be said to be regular, all-night filming is commonplace, and moving around is like drinking water and eating, but there is really only one thing left, filming, and other activities are within the living area.

By the beginning of October, Legolas' role was almost over, and everyone was already talking about where to celebrate him.

But before the matter could be decided, a phone call from Los Angeles ruined his plans.

So much so that after the end of filming, Daniel had to leave New Zealand in a hurry and fly back to Los Angeles.

"Is it a big problem?"

When Daniel returned to Los Angeles, he received another call from Heath Ledger, who had already been contacted by his agent and Cusa.

That's right, at the Laurel Bar in Vienna, a photo of two people in the same frame was taken.

This was completely unexpected.

Cusa puts the photo on the glass coffee table, and the scene of Heath and Daniel talking happily does have a bit of inexplicable intimacy, but there is a preset perception of people, if you take this photo and look at passers-by, nine out of ten will not associate homosexuality, and the remaining one may be gay himself.

"It's not a big deal to explain the problem itself," Kusa rubbed his chin, he went out today without shaving, his stubble was a little blue, "this bar is not exactly a gay bar, you can say that you just go to sit and have no idea about anything else at the bar." But in that case, there's one point that is more difficult to justify, Ian McKellen, this is a veteran gay, and luckily, no one thinks you're together. ”

"Of course, there's another way, you pay the million-dollar bill, but Heath has to be willing to pay it. What a clever blackmailer, he will even ask for money on both sides. ”

It wasn't a media paparazzi who took these photos, but he sent them to Heath Ledger and Daniel Sandler respectively, and went with him, with Daniel's side paying $1 million and Heath $300,000.

During the phone call with Daniel, Heath half-laughs at himself and half-jokingly says that he is worth less than one-third of Daniel's, which is too bullying, so he won't give the money anyway.

Daniel glanced at Kusa, "Am I crazy?" I'm going to give 1 million for these fake photos, and who knows if he's done with the negatives or not. ”

"Melissa and Fred can't find the source?"

The person who took the photo found Melissa's email address on the Internet, packed the photo and sent it, of course, also sent the washed out photos, it seems that the photographer is more worried that the two stars will not receive the photos, and the message is sent from Wellington, that one may still be in New Zealand, of course, he may have left.

Daniel immediately asked Fred's team to find the culprit based on the email address that sent the photo to Melissa.

"This is a very careful person, the email address is newly registered, the IP is from an Internet café, if you want to continue to check, of course you can ask the police for assistance, but isn't this equivalent to making these photos public?"

Squinting and thinking about it, Daniel turned his head sideways and asked Kusa, "What does His's agent say?" ”

"Call the police, he thinks he should sue the police directly, and then we will issue a joint statement, and it is best to seek another look to see if we can find an opportunity to cooperate in the near future, which can explain why you are meeting in New Zealand." When Kusa said the end, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

I have to say that this is a good idea, but Heath's plan to borrow Dongfeng is also obvious, but the cooperation is just to say, there are not too many films suitable for them, and Daniel is about to join the group to shoot "Spy", and there are many scripts in contact with later, and the schedule is busy, so it is not so easy to adjust.

"That's a good idea." Daniel let out a sigh of relief, a little annoyed, to be honest, he had made a relationship with Jessica Alba so quickly, and he also wanted to avoid being affected by some rumors.

In fact, it is very normal for Hollywood stars, especially heartthrobs, to be rumored to be gay or bisexual, Kevin Spacey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jodie Foster, Whitney Houston, etc., a long list of them have been labeled as gay by the media, some of which are true, but others are purely unjustified.

So when it comes to coping with the possible consequences, there really isn't a need for Daniel to be particularly worried.

After all, they really aren't a couple.

Tell the truth about the reason, as for the outside world, believe it or not, in fact, it doesn't matter what they say, unless they really admit it, otherwise they will always think so, believe that they are not, and will always believe them.

"Well, that's pretty bad."

This is what Daniel and Heath Ledger said on the phone after the decision, and they sent an email to Guò - a bit like a lawyer's letter, which basically means that if the photo appears in the form of a same-sex relationship, then Daniel and Heath will sue him for extortion, and of course, the letter will also indicate that they have no fear of being discredited.

"How could anyone in Wellington know us?" Heath also sighed a little, it was not the first time he had been to this kind of place, and he had never been recognized before, thinking of this, he suddenly understood, "Hey, you must have provoked it, I forgot that you are popular in Wellington, even more powerful than Mel Gibson." You dare to go to a gay bar in Wellington, you're amazing. ”

This was simply a traumatic wound in Daniel's heart, and his mind really fell on the hotel for a moment, and when he was brought into the bar by McLean, he couldn't directly refuse Ian's plan, and on the other hand, he was curious about this kind of place - and as a result, he completely forgot the severity of the consequences.

Although after the joint discussion of the teams of both sides, it felt that it didn't matter, but when I thought about it, as long as the simple audience saw Daniel and the gay bar, they would associate it, Daniel felt bitter for a while.

"It's really not worrying."

Daniel flipped through the newspapers, I don't know if it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a large picture of himself and Hiss, as for the legal process they said, even no one can be found, what is the use of the legal process.

Because of this incident, Daniel's scene ended three days early, and Peter let him come back to deal with these things, so he and "Spy" finalized the situation of entering the group, and they were not in such a hurry.

This time, after joining the group, he had to undergo a month and a half of training.

Playing a superagent with great skills and intelligence, Jason Byrne - the protagonist of the movie spent 30 million dollars, then Daniel's training budget must be at least 100,000 dollars.

……

"Andy, don't tell me that he threw the picture out so quickly."

Andy came in with a pile of newspapers, and Daniel's head hurt a little, and he wanted to get the media mobbing him.

However, Andy did not respond to him, and his face looked a little solemn.

"Andy?"

"Daniel, see for yourself."

"Okay, let's take a look at my old rivals first, oh no, they just praised my cousin in 'Gladiator', where is Entertainment Weekly?" Daniel took a sip of his coffee and flipped out Entertainment Weekly with Andy's help.

"Daniel Sandler and—"

(ps: I saw a sentence today: "I dug this pit, and with you squatting with me, I had the determination to fill it with a shovel and a shovel.") The first image that came to my mind was the scene of more than 1,000 of us squatting in a pit together - it's just, there is no one to save me)
