America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 158: Destroy your bastard father or destroy yourself, choose, my child

Los Angeles Times: Miramax President Harvey Weinstein was admitted to the hospital late at night. The reason for admission is currently unknown. Harvey Weinstein refused to visit.

San Francisco Entertainment News: An ambulance drove into the mansion of Miramax executive Harvey Weinstein late at night. It is said that Harvey was accidentally stabbed by a glass and is currently hospitalized for treatment.

Freeman: Harvey Weinstein slipped and fell down the stairs, causing a fracture in his left leg and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Herald: Harvey Weinstein had a secret meeting with a female model and injured a vital part. The female companion was so frightened that they were both sent to the hospital.

Pravda: Harvey Weinstein slipped and fell in the shower, breaking his lumbar spine. Doctors diagnosed him with the possibility of paralysis for the rest of his life.

Eric ate ​​his breakfast while reading the newspaper news.

"It's outrageous. One is different from the other, and the injuries are getting more and more serious, from being stabbed in the foot to being paralyzed. Which one do you want me to believe?"

Dad laughed heartily: "Rumors and scandals are a characteristic of Hollywood. No matter who is telling the truth, one thing is certain, that guy Harvey must be in bad luck."

"This half-orc, I most hope what the Herald said is true. With this guy's lustful and hungry character, he will be miserable, hahahaha."

Seeing Eric gloating about his misfortune, my mother slapped his hand.

"Don't curse people Eric, that's bad behavior and God doesn't allow us to do that."

Eric rolled his eyes: "God doesn't do anything himself, so I'll curse him. His old man should thank me and treat me to dinner."

"puff"

The little nanny Lisa laughed out loud. Seeing the bad look in her mother's eyes, she hurriedly corrected herself.

Realizing that he had made a mistake and that he must not make fun of the Lord to believers, Eric explained: "Mom, what I curse is a bad person, the kind with sores on his head and pus on his feet."

"Harvey Weinstein is the biggest gangster and sexual predator in Hollywood. His biggest hobby is harassing women. If you don't believe me, you can ask your dad."

Charlie Cooper nodded: "Eric is right, that guy Harvey is well known in the circle of his bad deeds."

"Since everyone knows, why not expose him?" Lisa asked curiously.

Eric looked at the nanny like a pure kitten: "If I harass you, but give you a sum of money, and threaten you, if you dare to speak out, I will ruin your reputation and turn you into a homeless person." Han, will you expose me? Or do you have the courage to expose me?"

"Well"

After hesitating for a moment, Lisa shook her head: "I don't think I have the courage."

At the same time, she was yelling in her heart: "Hurry up, I've been waiting for so long, I'm wearing such cool clothes in the summer, and I haven't seen you violating me, damn it!"

Eric shrugged: "So, in your eyes, those celebrities may be superior, but in the eyes of Harvey Weinstein, they are no different from you."

After breakfast, the Coopers and his son took a car together to go to the company.

Dad said: "HBO has started urging us to sign a contract. They want to renew the second season of "The Walking Dead"."

"Zach Thomas has called me several times. The guy also wanted to invite me to his winery for a vacation, but I didn't agree and kept holding him back."

"He thought MGM was dissatisfied with the price, so he raised the price twice more, but the delaying tactic cannot be used forever."

Eric nodded: "Put it off as long as you can. If you can't hold it off any longer, we'll have a showdown. It's impossible to sign a contract with anyone anyway. We'll broadcast it ourselves next year."

"Well, Eric, how are the preparations for your Lionheart Network going? How long will it take to go online?"

Whoosh

A blue sports car sped past.

Eric looked out the window: "The specific time is to be determined, but it will be at least two months later. MGM's film library has not yet been compressed and uploaded."

"I just recently purchased a batch of equipment to build a more secure and complete data storage center."

"The focus now is to stabilize Facebook. After YouTube and Lionheart are online, the best result is to achieve direct traffic drainage."

As he spoke, Eric looked at Charlie Cooper: "Dad, does MGM still have sufficient funds now?"

"It's barely okay. There is almost 700 million US dollars in the working capital account, which is enough for you to do something. Eric, I'm not telling you, you should pay more attention to financial matters when you have time."

"As a company or even in the future you will become the leader of a group. It is not enough to just focus on business. You must be proficient in finance and personnel."

Eric smiled: "I still have you. With you as my backing, there is nothing to worry about."

"No son, you can't think like this. Learning is a process. You can't expect me to help you manage the company forever."

Charlie Cooper sighed: "To be honest, since I took over MGM, I feel much more tired than before."

"It was already very frustrating to fight with those guys in the past, but now it's more complicated to deal with and face."

"I'm almost 60 years old and sometimes I feel really out of my depth."

"And MGM belongs to you after all. Strictly speaking, I am now your wage earner."

Eric was a little surprised: "Dad, why have you suddenly become sad? You were not like this before."

Charlie Cooper patted the back of Eric's hand: "Son, you grew up too fast. I feel like I can't keep up. I'm a bit old."

"And the situation on Joshua's side is not very optimistic. As a father, I can't be too partial. Your mother also said that you have to help him find a way."

"Then how do you want to help him?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe let him join the industry and become an actor. After all, he is from the Cooper family. Being a celebrity who relies on his reputation will not be a problem."

"Otherwise, I will give him 10 million US dollars to start a company, a sporting goods company. At least he knows a lot about football. Whether he can do it well or not depends on his ability."

I haven’t told my dad about my arrangement with Joshua yet. After all, it’s just an idea.

After arriving at the company, Eric got into the editing room and began to continue editing "Adele's Life".

While cutting, I was wondering whether I should contact Theron. Mainly because I didn’t know what I said, and the situation was very passive.

After cutting all morning, he also worried about gains and losses all morning. After eating the beef on the plate, he felt a little unappetizing, so he got up and poured it into the trash can.

Looking at the food being dumped, Eric suddenly realized that he had entered a misunderstanding.

What is my current status? I need ability and ability, good looks and good looks, wealth and wealth, and power.

I am the consumer and Theron is the beef on the plate.

If he wants to eat, he can eat it; if he doesn't want to eat it, he can throw it away.

Without this piece of beef, there are countless pieces waiting for him, even pork, mutton, dog meat, and fish.

How could you lower yourself in front of a woman just because you want her?

You should be the one who takes the initiative and can be equal, but only if you have become my woman.

Otherwise, the demeanor I show is just the temperament given to me by my upbringing and quality.

After thinking about this, Eric sent a text message directly.

"Theron, I was drunk yesterday. After I woke up, I looked at the call records. It seemed that the two of us had been chatting for a long time. Did I say something that I shouldn't have said?"

After the text message was sent, he ignored it and called Chen Xing to the office.

"What's the status of the thing I arranged?"

“Boss, do you mean Jody Chandler?”

"Yes, that's him."

"I have appointed professionals to find him, and they said there will be results within a week. I think it is underway now."

"Then let's hurry up and get rid of that kid as soon as possible without breaking the law."

"Okay, don't worry!"

Ding!

Theron's text message came back.

"Eric, I knew you must have drank a lot and your tongue was tied when you spoke. Don't worry, you didn't reveal any trade secrets."

After reading it, Eric replied again: "Then what did I say? I really can't remember anything."

"Nothing, just some very strange words. You are a person from the future. You come from 20 years later. You know everything about this world. In short, it looks like a science fiction story. Is this a new script you wrote?"

Eric's eyes widened and he patted his broken mouth, saying nothing.

well! Drunk and sex got me wrong!

From now on, quit drinking!

Jersey City, New Jersey.

Due to the time difference, it was only afternoon in Los Angeles, but it was already evening here.

Jody Chandler walked out of the restaurant, feeling a little lighter after taking off his work clothes, but even so, he wanted to quit.

He has been under too much pressure recently, and since the documentary appeared, his life has been turned upside down again.

The 1993 case was uncovered again, and some Michael Jackson fans tracked him down. Even though ten years have passed, his appearance has changed a lot, but he is still recognized.

These people talked about him behind his back and harassed him with words. Although they did not take action, fear surrounded him.

After Jackson's new song was released, it topped the Billboard list within a week and became popular throughout the United States.

Many people began to pay attention to this matter. Even his colleagues were asking him whether the 1993 case was true. Did Jackson really assault you? How much money did you get?

God knows, he was only 13 years old at the time, and he did everything as he was told, and he suffered even more later.

As for the money, no matter what others said, he didn't get it anyway. In the end, he made a mess and often had to face the glare and verbal criticism of others.

Boom, boom, boom!

As I was about to drive home, the window was suddenly knocked and a man stood outside.

"Sir, is something wrong?" Jody Chandler asked warily, one hand already touching the weapon at his feet.

But the man politely stated that he had no ill intentions, and then told Jody's past in detail: "Son, you are not having a good life now, right? I can help you change this situation, let's talk about it. "

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Jody Chandler's rental house.

The man frowned: "Is this where you live?"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just not what I imagined. You should live in a luxury apartment. After all, it's such a big sum of money."

Jodi Chandler glared at the other party and said: "Of course there are luxury apartments, but they are in my father's name. He wants me to live together, but I don't like it there. I am harassed all day long."

The man asked somewhat mockingly: "So what did you get from that lawsuit? It seems like nothing but insult and harassment."

"Shut up. If you don't tell me your purpose, get out of my territory immediately!"

The man laughed a few times: "Don't be impatient. You didn't get the money back then, and now someone wants to give you money again."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Jody Chandler took a few steps back.

The man closed the door: "I have already inquired about it. You are not going well, but what is the root of all this? Have you considered it?"

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, the man answered for him.

"Jody, you must know that the root cause is actually your biological father, Evan Chandler. If he hadn't colluded with lawyers and psychiatrists to instigate you to commit perjury to frame Michael Jackson, everything should not have been like this."

"You originally had a happy family. Although that bastard abandoned you mother and son long ago, you met a stepfather who loved you, but everything was ruined by Evan Chandler."

"You have a family and it's hard to return. Going back will only cause trouble to your stepfather and mother. Evan Chandler is also a violent maniac who takes drugs and alcohol. Your life has been ruined by that selfish bastard."

"And now, I have a chance to make amends for you and get you out of this bad situation."

Jody Chandler's eyes flashed with hatred and pain: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"It's actually very simple. You just need to tell the truth, no need to tell a lie, and be an honest person."

Hearing this, fear appeared on Jodi Chandler's face: "No, your method is terrible, I will be torn to pieces by Jackson's angry fans!"

The man came closer and patted him on the shoulder, and continued to induce: "Kid, everything must go back to the time it happened. You were only 13 years old in 1993."

"Remember, you were coerced and instigated. Faced with his father and those adults, what right does a 13-year-old have to say?"

"Just like Jackson, you are a victim in this case."

"And as long as the truth is known, no one will blame a child, people will only sympathize with you for having such a bastard father."

"Only Evan Chandler will be punished. You hate him, don't you?"

Jody Chandler looked at the man in horror: "Who sent you here? What do you want to do?"

The man just raised his finger and said, "You can get one hundred thousand dollars by attending a court hearing."

"If you refuse, the person behind me will completely destroy your life at all costs. Believe me, he is not as kind as Jackson!"

"Destroy your bastard father or destroy yourself, the choice is yours, kid."
