Chapter 517: One Head and Two Big
"I remember I told you, Sean, I told you that Paul is talented but not very good-tempered, and although he is decent, he often talks about '****'. So, don't take the initiative to anger him, and do what you promise him, "Harvey? Weinstein grabbed his hair and stared at Sean in annoyance, "How did you reveal this?" ”
"I don't know, Harvey," Sean spread his hands, his face not looking good at all, "My people are investigating, and the only people who know about it are Galen, Sandy, Fred and Emma, and even Neil doesn't know about it, I don't know how it got out." ”
"But the truth is that someone found out about it, and then it was reprinted by various media outlets in a matter of days," Weinstein waved his arm, "There is no way that someone has infiltrated my office and stolen information from my computer, right?" ”
After saying that, he sighed again: "Anderson, that guy...... Before there was a clear result, statements began to be made. ”
Hearing this, Sean's face became even more unsightly, this matter was just reported by the entertainment version of Yahoo at first, so Frederick didn't see it, and he didn't inform him. Then, this news spread quickly, and even the paper media reprinted it, although it was only reprinted, but it also meant that the news had spread out, so Anderson quickly issued a statement: This news is not true.
"Do I have sex with Sean? Mr. Don was contacted, but I didn't think he was suitable for the role," Anderson said, and it was quickly reported by reporters.
This is bad news, indicating that the angry Anderson is really considering a substitution, but the problem is that since that day, Sean has not been able to contact him, even if he called Weinstein in the first place to ask him to maneuver through it, but Weinstein said after contacting him that Anderson did not listen to any explanation at all, and even did not answer his phone call after the worst time.
So, on the fourth day after this incident began, Sean took another leave of absence to return to Los Angeles, Brad? Although Pete is a little dissatisfied, Sean has been performing well during this time. And because of the previous twists and turns, even after hearing the shocking news brought by Anderson, he still insisted on completing his own shooting with quality, so Pete let him go.
However, even if he returned, it seemed that he could not change the situation, and Anderson not only refused to contact him, but even planned to part ways with Weinstein, so he had just complained.
Who will reveal it? Sean was also confused, as he told Weinstein, there were very few people who knew about it, not even Neil, and they were all very tight-mouthed people. Even though Emma has been lukewarm to him for months, Sean can be sure that she won't say anything casually, and she still has this kind of professionalism, not to mention ...... In Emma's eyes, that's not much to talk about, is it?
Suddenly, Sean was shocked, he thought of a possibility, but ...... Will this really be the case?
At this time, Weinstein looked at him again and spoke: "Sean, shouldn't you have inadvertently said something about it when you were dating a girl, and then she told the media again?" ”
"It should ...... It won't be like this......" Sean took a deep breath, a little afraid to meet Weinstein's skeptical gaze.
However, the so-called disaster is not alone, Sanders, who has been talking on the phone outside the living room, walked in at this time: "My people have found a source from a Yahoo Entertainment reporter, and they said it was from Natalie? Portman heard there. ”
The living room, which was still quiet, suddenly fell silent, and Sean looked at Sanders in shock, his eyes full of impossibility. Galen, who was tapping on the computer, and Frederick, who was looking at his phone from time to time in the corner, also stopped what they were doing, and both showed surprised looks, when did Sean and that Harvard talented girl get together?
Only Weinstein frowned directly, looked at Sanders, then at Sean, then shook his head, and walked straight out without saying anything.
Sean didn't stop him, and after shaking his hands together, he asked, "What's the specific situation?" ”
"There was a tabloid claim that you and Natalie were dating, and you asked us to clarify, and then hid in Texas. The reporter couldn't find you, so he kept pestering her, so she said that you were working on a new movie with Paul, and it was impossible to date her. Sanders said, his gaze changing slightly.
"I know," Sean was silent for a few seconds before nodding, "and now you can discuss how to make Paul change his mind on this basis, at least to be able to see him once, I ...... There are some things that need to be taken care of. ”
With that, he hurried out of the house, and Galen wanted to ask two more questions, but was stopped by Sanders with his eyes.
"Answer the phone...... Answer the phone! Coming out and going upstairs, Sean couldn't wait to make a phone call as soon as he entered the study, and said to himself through gritted teeth.
"Sean? Why call me at this time? Didn't you say you weren't allowed to contact me until Thanksgiving? Natalie's voice quickly came from there.
"Hmm...... I have something I want to ask you......" Sean had already thought about it, and as soon as he connected the phone, he asked her what was going on, he had repeatedly told her not to say anything, and it was only half a month before that the media knew about it, and he took the initiative to tell the other party.
But as soon as her voice sounded, her surging emotions involuntarily pressed down: "Will you and Paul me?" Thomas? What did Anderson tell the media? ”
"And Paul? Thomas? The Anderson thing? "You mean...... script for "Blood is Coming?" ”
"Yes." Sean replied with only one word.
Natalie was silent for a few seconds before she added, "I don't ...... I'm not sure, at the time...... The situation is a bit chaotic - has something happened? ”
"That's right, Anderson called me a few days ago and asked me why the media would know about it...... Well...... I was internally designated as the male protagonist of "Blood is Coming", and he threatened me...... You're going to get the hell out of me. Sean pondered the words and said, "There's news that you told the reporter, so I want to know what's going on." ”
“…… I'm sorry, Sean. After several minutes of silence, Natalie sighed softly.
Sean was in a trance for a moment, a little incredulous, but fortunately Natalie then continued: "That's the case, because of your irresponsible behavior......"
There was a slight resentment in her tone when she said this, but she quickly put it aside and calmed it down: "A lot of reporters came to pester, and kept pestering, and although I denied it countless times, they still said that I was dating you......"
It would have been. Sean was tempted to say that, but Natalie repeatedly insisted that she didn't want to be caught dating a playboy, and that he could only try to respect her request. Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, Sean could still guess that she was at the critical point of changing the image she had established before, and "Stealing Hearts" was basically fermented, but she couldn't take too big a step, and she had to maintain her current gradually changing appearance, so she was so careful.
"I was a little annoyed by them when I went out that day, and in order to get out as soon as possible, I said: You have been with Paul all this time? Thomas? Anderson was discussing a new movie and couldn't possibly date me. Natalie continued, "I just said that, I didn't expect them to really investigate, and I didn't expect such serious consequences...... I'm sorry. ”
Her voice lowered, and she seemed to feel guilty for causing him to be in this situation, so Sean didn't say anything more, and said after a while: "Okay, I know what to do, I'll take care of it, see you later." ”
Hanging up the phone, Sean smiled bitterly and sighed, he really didn't know what to say about the current predicament, was it providence?
In fact, Natalie's explanation does not absolve her of responsibility, in any case, Sean has repeatedly emphasized not to reveal the relevant information of "Blood is Coming", but she must be wrong not to take his warning to heart in order to get out of it for herself and to divert the attention of reporters.
But if you really want to think about it, the source is still on Sean, he was really negligent that day, patronizing and coaxing Natalie to the car, but he didn't expect to be photographed when he was having dinner before.
Even if he chose a more secluded restaurant, there were inevitably some surprises, and the person who took the shit luck to take the picture was not even an official reporter. Although the photo is blurry, it is still possible to tell who is who, and the blurry image only adds credibility.
In this way, it has naturally attracted the attention of many media. Don's playboy scandal has attracted attention every time, and he has a relationship with the famous Harvard talent "Queen Amidala" Natalie? Portman is connected, and the third installment of "Star Wars Prequel", which was released last year, is still unfinished, so the media is unlikely to let it go.
As mentioned before, Natalie also repeatedly asked that each other's affairs should not be known to outsiders, especially the media, so the two of them quickly issued a statement, saying that they only met by chance and then dined together.
It just so happened that at that time, Natalie had already auditioned for "Rachel's Wedding", and preparations for the movie had already begun, so spreading through the grapevine could also divert a lot of attention. In addition, fortunately, they were blowing the wind at the beach, and the passion in the car was not photographed for a moment, so there was no need to worry too much about it for a while.
However, Rao is like this, there are still tabloid reporters who give full play to their imagination, claiming that seeing Sean and Natalie hugging and kissing in the car, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, Sean would probably be scared into a cold sweat. So, while "Death of a Sharpshooter" still has a lot of locations, he hid in Texas, which led to Natalie being besieged, and finally became the current dilemma.
So, if the whole process was like this, it was useless to blame Natalie, so he didn't say anything more on the phone, just ...... Now I can only swallow this bitter fruit by myself.
Well, swallowing the bitter fruit is a trivial matter, and how to redeem it is a major matter. Thinking of this, Sean grabbed his hair, one head and two big for a while.
