Eighty-six Accidental Exposure
Just when Su Zhen wanted to continue to add fire while it was hot, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Kate was startled, and hurriedly pushed Su Zhen away, just when Su Zhen was annoyed, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Wang hurriedly walked in, "Young master, there are a lot of reporters outside, you see?" ”
"Journalists? What's going on? Su Zhen frowned, he could say that he had never dealt with reporters, and his identity was not disclosed, how could any reporter find the manor.
"Young master, look at these" Saying that, Uncle Wang handed over a few newspapers that had just been delivered, Su Zhen looked at it, and there was a huge title on the first page of the first one, 'Twilight Dark Night Author Big Exposed', and below was a photo, which was the photo of Su Zhen when he entered the Lionsgate company's cocktail party last night, and then look at the other copy, 'Literary genius? Playboy? Attached is a photo of Su Zhen helping a drunk Kate to leave.
The next few articles are also gossip about Su Zhen as the author of Twilight and Night and the relationship between Su Zhen and Kate, and the big newspapers are better, but they only report on Su Zhen's identity and some of Su Zhen's deeds in the United States in the past two years, not to mention the novel, his identity as the owner of the ranch in Illinois has also been completely exposed.
The small newspaper is even more excessive, what's Sue and Kate, the unspoken rules or child molestation? "The model of the calf eating the old grass", "The genius author's mother-love plot is serious" and so on, Su Zhen is full of black lines, these reporters really dare to write anything, so they are not afraid to sue them?
Su Zhenyou flipped through the newspaper, thinking about how to deal with it, even if he was a reborn, but he really had no experience with this kind of scene, and after thinking about it for a long time, Su Zhen took out his mobile phone and called Lionsgate's Burns.
"Hi, good morning, whoever." Burns, on the other side, said in a daze, as if he hadn't gotten up yet.
"Hey, Michael, it's me, Sue," Su Zhen said.
"Hey, Sue, is there anything going on so early?" The other party finally sobered up.
Su Zhen looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost nine o'clock, "I see you didn't see today's newspaper." ”
"Newspapers? What's wrong? The other party said.
"My identity has been exposed, you can see if you look at today's newspaper, maybe there will be morning news," Su Zhen said helplessly.
"What? Oh my God, how can this be, damn it's only three days before the premiere, how can it be at this critical time" Burns said a little angrily, which almost disrupted all his plans, and I hope it doesn't affect the box office of the night, knowing that the performance of this movie will directly affect his position on the board.
"Okay, it's already happened, it's useless to get angry, let's think of a way to guide the influence in the direction of the better." Su Zhen said.
"Sue, do you have any ideas?" Burns asked, in accord.
"My idea is to hold a press conference and make it public in advance," Mr. Su said.
"What? Oh no, those reporters are going to eat you," Burns exclaimed, knowing the madness of those reporters.
"It's okay, trust me," Su Zhen said with a smile.
"That's good, I'll have someone prepare it right away," Burns said helplessly, and this is indeed the best way to do it at the moment.
Su Zhen hung up the phone and found that Kate was looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Su Zhen felt a little inexplicable.
Kate held up the newspaper in her hand, "Sue, you don't really have a mother-love plot, right?" When she saw the contents of the newspaper, and then thought of what Su Zhen said before, she couldn't help but not doubt it.
Su Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and roared in his heart, love your sister, Lao Tzu's actual age is older than you? Lao Tzu has no shortage of maternal love, I love your sister's mother!!! But this time he obviously couldn't say it, so Su Zhen didn't know how to explain it, so he had to say, "Don't believe the nonsense in the newspaper, I am definitely very orthodox in your admiration for men and women, and it has nothing to do with anything else."
But seeing Kate's still skeptical expression, Su Zhen was quite helpless, so he had to change the topic and said, "I'm going to have a press conference in a while, and there are reporters all around the house, so don't leave yet, just tell Uncle Wang if you need anything."
A little after a while, Burns called, and he had already arranged the press conference to be held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly, and the major media had already been notified.
As soon as Su Zhen's car left the gate of the manor, he was immediately surrounded by a large number of reporters, shouting something at Su Zhen in the car, but the sound insulation effect of the car was good, he only saw that the mouths of those reporters were moving, so he waved to the reporters happily.
The Hilton Hotel is not far from Su Zhen's residence, and it will arrive soon, but Su Zhen is not so comfortable in the car this time, and he is surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he gets out of the car.
"Mr. Su, are you really only twelve years old?"
"Mr. Sue, are you dating Kate Beckinsale?"
"Mr. Su, are you going to officially enter the entertainment industry this time?"
"Mr. Su, some people say that your novel is suspected of plagiarism, what do you think about this?"
"Mr. Su,......" and other inquiries were endless, and Su Zhen felt that his brain was about to explode.
But fortunately, Lionsgate was prepared, and when they saw Su Zhen coming, they immediately rushed out of the hotel with a group of bodyguards to block the reporters who wanted to rush to Su Zhen's side.
Su Zhen shook his head and walked straight into the hotel.
When I got to the backstage of the venue, I saw Burns there on the phone.
"Check, let me continue to check, which bastard leaked the news" Burns couldn't help but be angry, if he waited until the movie premiere to announce Su Zhen's identity, the publicity effect of the movie would obviously be better.
"Hey, Sue, you're here" Burns saw Su Zhen arrive and hung up the phone in his hand. "The venue is ready, when will it start?"
Su Zhen nodded, "Let's start directly, start early, end early, I don't want to spend all my energy on reporters."
When Su Zhen and Burns walked into the hall of the venue, the flash immediately dazzled Su Zhen's eyes.
Without waiting for Su Zhen and the others to sit down, some reporters couldn't wait to get up and ask all kinds of questions, Su Zhen couldn't help frowning, and Burns next to him immediately knocked on the microphone, and the noise immediately quieted the reporters.
"Please raise your hand and ask questions, Su will answer them one by one, if you don't follow the order of the venue, we will ask the staff to ask you to leave." Burns said, and after seeing that the reporters were quiet, he made a gesture of invitation to Su Zhen.
"Ahem" Su Zhen cleared his throat and said, "I believe everyone has a lot of questions, but I want to make one thing clear, according to federal law, I am not yet twelve years old this year, and I belong to a child, please consider the scale before you ask questions, otherwise it will not be good if you are accused of child abuse, and at the same time inform some relevant media who have reported on me before, I will maintain the right to prosecute for some inappropriate remarks." “
Su Zhen directly stopped all the reporters when he opened his mouth, they thought that Su Zhen was fourteen or fifteen years old, but they didn't expect that he was really only twelve years old. This is a problem for these journalists, because the Law on the Protection of Minors and the Law on the Protection of Children are completely two different concepts, and child abuse is a felony in the law, and this abuse is not just physical harm, it is defined as any damage to the health and well-being of children through non-accidental physical or mental harm, which constitutes the crime of child abuse.
Physical abuse is easy to say, but the definition of mental abuse is much bigger, and the problems they wanted before have basically touched this boundary, and if they are accused, it will be terrible
If the other party is an adult, no matter how the reporter asks and writes so, it doesn't matter much, at most the defendant is defamed, and at most he will lose money and publicly apologize.
Children are different, once they become defendants, it is a proper criminal case and not a civil case, and imprisonment is ironclad.
This was a big embarrassment for the reporters, and suddenly the whole venue was quiet, and the reporters were secretly thinking about the right topic in their hearts, and the attractive revelations seemed to have come to naught.
And Burns next to him is also happy in his heart, Su Zhen's mature performance in the past has completely made him ignore Su Zhen's age, this time Su Zhen said it, only to think of such a thing, but also let him relax, at least in the United States, no one dares to take a child to talk about things publicly, that is an extremely serious crime, that is to say, in the future, reports about Su Zhen, basically only positive things will appear, which is obviously a good thing for him.
There was silence for a while, and finally a reporter raised his hand.
