Chapter 72: Scandal

"Gwyneth? The culprit of Paltrow's breakup appeared: As early as two weeks ago, Gwyneth, who won the Oscar for Best Actress at the beginning of the year? Paltrow vs. Ben? When Affleck broke up, although they declared a peaceful breakup, the news of someone intervening in it never stopped. Now it turns out that this is not a lie.

At around 9:40 p.m. last night, Gwyneth was seen dining at an Italian restaurant on Jefferson Avenue with a mysterious young man.

Afterwards, the young man drove Gwyneth back to her Beverly Hills home in an open-top Lincoln Land, where he kissed her for several minutes. According to reliable sources, the man's name is Sean? Don, a young actor from San Francisco, worked at Anthony Frank at the beginning of the year. Minghella plays the male lead role in the new film "The Genius Ripley", and it was then that he met Gwyneth, who also played the female lead. It is reported that the two have long been sparkling during filming, and they are very close when they go out on location in Italy, although Sean can't have a deep relationship because Gwyneth has a boyfriend, but he still goes in and out with her from time to time.

They may not have been in touch again after returning, but Sean apparently didn't give up, and Gwyneth seemed to feel his enthusiasm, and finally chose to break up with Affleck and date Sean. ”

After reading this report, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the New York Post, Robert ? Field immediately laughed, clearly satisfied.

"Xiexie, Mr. Field, although the exact numbers are not yet available, the sales of the newspaper today are indeed very good." One of the two editors-in-charge sitting across from the desk said with some credit.

"Very well," he said, placing the newspaper on his desk and speaking to the two editors in charge in front of him, "you guys are doing a very good job, we need this kind of coverage, although the report is relatively bland, but it works quite well with the pictures, especially the biggest picture, which I like very much." ”

He poked at the photo on the page, in which the heads of a man and a woman overlapped, one of the men stretched out, the other blocked, and looked like he was kissing a woman. Combined with the following slightly smaller photos, there are some blurry photos of dining, relatively clear photos of men going out putting on clothes for women, and photos of getting into the car together.

Readers hardly need to look at the specifics, just the pictures and the headline can weave Gwyneth's story in their heads, not to mention the fact that the story is sinister. Although the text is a little bland, not as exaggerated as the New York Post used to be — since they were bought by News Corp., they have added a lot of violence, sexuality, and topics to win over gossip viewers — but the message is always that Gwyneth and Affleck broke up because Sean was in the middle, and the two had slept with each other as early as when they were on location in Italy.

Oh, poor Affleck. Readers will think so, and then look forward to the follow-up report even more excitedly.

"Xiexie, Mr. Field, it's our pleasure that you like it." The two editors in charge were also smiling.

"By the way, how did you find the specific information about this young actor?" "Maybe we can do a special feature on Gwyneth's feelings." ”

"I've already made it happen, and I'll be bringing it soon." One of the editors in charge said, and then an assistant knocked on the door and walked in: "Mr. Field, what do you want at this time?" Don's material. ”

"Good, very good." Field immediately took it and flipped through it, and after a few pages, he was surprised and then ecstatic.

"Oh my God, what a haode material we've found!" He shouted excitedly, and then handed them to the editors, "Sean? Don, 23 years old, only started as an actor in September last year, and has only played a small supporting role in "Friends", and the response is good. Aniston had a kiss scene. After I don't know what happened, it was Anthony? Minghella took a fancy to the role of male lead in his new film "The Genius Ripley". ”

The three of them flipped through it, then raised their heads and exchanged glances.

"An unknown little actor catches up with a new actress."

"Anthony? Minghella uses such a nobody as the leading actor in the movie, there must be something that is even worth digging into. ”

"We can write that he first tried to date an American sweetheart, and then hooked up with an Oscar."

Three words of different content but with the same goal came out of the mouths of the three people, and then, there was a daxiao sound in the office, and Field waved his hand: "Well done, gentlemen, shall it be done?" ”

Then, he thought of something and looked at the information in his hand again: "This Sean lives in ...... now"

"44th Street in the Westwood district has sent a reporter over, and he won't let him slip away." One of the editors in charge said-

It's a pity that although many reporters found Sean's address as soon as they got the news, they couldn't stop him, it's simple, he's used to running in the morning.

Although some people say that 4 to 5 p.m. is the best time to exercise, Sean is still used to getting up every morning and running a trail in the sun to wake himself up from sleep completely.

Since becoming an official actor, Sean has begun to consciously collect some gossip magazines, although many of the information on them are exaggerated, but basically there is still a basis, especially well-known magazines such as "People" and "Vanity Fair". If you are good at analysis, you can gather a lot of useful information from it, even some information that Frederick has never heard of.

It's not that he doesn't trust his agent, but if he wants to make a correct judgment, it is necessary to listen to news from different channels.

So, he saw the headline of the New York Post, because the newspaper was selling well today, and the newsstand owner put it in a prominent position. Then, fortunately, although Sean and the boss knew each other, they had not yet reached the point of reporting each other's names, so they bought the newspaper and took it back and quickly flipped through it, Sean immediately changed his clothes and pulled Galen, who had only done half of breakfast, and left the apartment in a hurry.

He didn't quite understand what such a story would bring, but his instincts told him that the most important thing now was not to show up in front of reporters. Sure enough, almost as soon as the front foot left, the back foot reporter chased to the apartment, but unfortunately they were a step too late and could only pull the landlord to ask for some news they already knew.

"I didn't, Fred, I didn't sleep with Gwyneth! How many times do you want me to say it! Sitting in the car, Sean grabbed his phone and yelled in annoyance, "Those damn bastards Weishenme won't put out pictures of me driving away!" ”

"Okay, okay, I got it." The agent's depressed voice came from the other end, and he couldn't help but ask again: "Didn't you pay attention to the surrounding situation when you sent her back?" ”

"Hell, am I going to go through the grass and see if there's a reporter in there?" Sean shook his fist violently, "Well, I should have pushed through the grass and given them a few punches." Damn, it was just a pretty ordinary goodbye kiss, and those bastards were handled like that! ”

"Wait, don't do anything stupid!" Frederick hurriedly exclaimed, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you say you're outside now?" ”

"Of course, the reporters will definitely wait outside the apartment, and I will have to stay in a hotel tonight." Sean reined in his tone and said complainingly.

"Then stay in a hotel, you're not pestered by reporters, you don't give any interviews, right?" Frederick sighed, and only after getting an affirmative answer did he say: "Very good, this is the right thing to do, I will go and contact Gwyneth's agent now, and then discuss how to solve this matter together, don't contact reporters until then, OK?" ”

"Then you'd better hurry." Sean replied.

It's really a disaster, if I went in last night, it's better to say, I didn't go in...... Sean suddenly knocked on his head, when was he still thinking about this. Then he sighed again, although he had heard of the power of these tabloid reporters from his agent and some friends he had made, but now he really tasted it, and just one shooting angle can make people misunderstand, let alone read between the lines......

Damn journalists. Sean grumbled, and it seemed that he could only wait for news from Frederick, and also knew Naomi......

He picked up his mobile phone and smiled bitterly, he wanted to call but didn't dare, this kind of thing happened, it is difficult for a woman to figure it out. Call? Since you said it was okay, why did you call so quickly? Is your heart weak? Don't call, since you say it's okay, but you don't even make a phone call to explain, is your heart empty?

In short, no matter what you do, it is a sign of weakness in her eyes. In the worse case, if you call, she hasn't read the report, and when you're hung up, she picks up the newspaper, and you're dead.

Wait a little longer, maybe Frederick and Gwyneth's agent will soon calm down the turmoil. Sean comforted himself like this, but apparently he underestimated how quickly the scandal spread.

Here, if a scandal is not exposed, it is fine, but if it is exposed, then it will quickly sweep across Hollywood like a virus.

So, when he came to the set of "The Grim Reaper", people gathered around to discuss something.

"Hey, Sean, I heard you were in Gwyneth last night? Paltrow spent the night at home, right? ”

"I really don't see it, boy, it's amazing."

"You're actually in Anthony? Playing the lead actor in the new film directed by Minghella? Weishenme doesn't tell us? ”

Listening to these nonsense, Sean couldn't help but start to have a headache, although he seized the gap and repeatedly said that he and Gwyneth had never done anything, and just invited her to dinner last night, but unfortunately no one believed it, and some people even thought he was hypocritical.

As a result, the distracted Sean could not brew emotions, and the filming was naturally delayed.
