Chapter 57 The Weinstein Incident

This is the first time she has faced some "hidden rules" in this industry in a certain sense, nothing special, just happened in an ordinary corner of the hall.

Although Claire had already cut him to pieces in her heart, she still had no superfluous expression on the surface.

Sometimes, she believes, your panic and shame are a favorite seasoning for harassers, especially "sex addicts" like him.She didn't want Weinstein to be happy at all.For the words, she is happy to see what happens.

"Exactly as Brad planned, creating a scenario of discord."

She was going to walk away immediately, not giving this man any good looks.

He didn't get the desired reaction, and Weinstein's expression immediately became irritable. The eyes of the people around him cast their eyes on this corner. Many people have been observing this place, and there is nothing he can do here.

Tonight is Weinstein's night, the refreshment of victory has fully satisfied his appetite, and he doesn't want to make extra troubles.

He turned away.

At this moment, a woman came over and interposed between the two of them.

"The tea at the second table is good, let's have a drink together."

Claire nodded and followed her. She knew her, the big star who is now in the limelight, Angelina Jolie.

Although she didn't know what her purpose was, but she brought her out of the embarrassing atmosphere, and she was very grateful to her.

Holding the juice handed over by Angelina, Claire took a sip and felt that her stomach, which hadn't eaten for a day, was much better.

Angelina shook her head at her: "Weinstein is not a good bird." She meant to remind Claire.

She nodded, and couldn't agree more with that.

"But why are you telling me this?"

There was a hint of sadness in Angelina's eyes, which quickly disappeared, but Clare, who was good at feeling emotions, caught it and felt even more strange.

She shook her head, and soon straightened her slender and graceful neck, returning to that cold and stubborn person again.

Claire: "But you helped me, I have to thank you, big star."

Angelina Ha showed a slight smile: "What's the matter, but when it comes to stars, the biggest star on the stage should be you, not only others, but I also want to ask for a role from you."

Blinking her eyes, she finally realized that Otti's self was not the same as the previous little troublemaker.

Although she knew that she was not the kind of famous director who was sought after by hundreds of people, but if a first-line celebrity like Angelina lowered her stance, it could be regarded as giving Claire enough face.

Putting aside the encounter with Angelina, things that require Claire's more attention are yet to come.

She was on the field, but she didn't realize that there was already quite a wave outside the field.

#Oscar shady# The upsurge of discussion is gradually fermenting.

In the interview after the dinner, Claire's phone call pushed Weinstein to the forefront.

"Shadow? No, I don't understand, and I don't know what happened. I believe in the fairness and openness of the union, and I will not be influenced by what is said on the Internet. As for Weinstein, he is naturally a very good producer. ’” But when reporters pressed her for her opinion of Weinstein, she was depressed and reluctant to say more.

Everyone is distressed, they have been bullied by Weinstein like this, and they can still hold back their anger. In comparison, the domineering Weinstein is even more dissatisfied.

After all, this is Oscar, the goal that Claire and his group have been chasing all their lives, and passers-by who didn’t know anything about it at the beginning, and were popularized by their friends, were all resentful towards Weinstein.

But is Weinstein afraid?If he was afraid, he would not have done such a thing in the first place.

Even, he was a little complacent in the face of Claire's depression and the opposition of the masses.He can even do this kind of thing, and his reputation as a gold medal publicist and Oscar's ruler has risen to a higher level.

She has completed the task that Brad and the others gave her, and Claire can't help with other things.But she can't be idle, she has to think about how she will go in the future.For the first time, Claire had the idea of ​​starting her own company.

Many directors will establish their own production companies after becoming famous, so as not to restrict others, just like Spielberg, Cameron and others.She didn't appear to be like Cameron before, and when the producer didn't let him cut the film, it almost always gave her a lot of room to play.But after the secret plan of Phillips and Brad this time, in order to prepare for a rainy day, she can't do nothing, lest this kind of situation really happen.

Phillips hadn't assaulted her this time, because she was happy to see Weinstein suffer.

But she could understand Phillips' money-making personality.

He doesn't have a high degree of education, nor does he have a good network of contacts. His current status is all he has achieved step by step.Perhaps he understood the feeling of being short of money, and collecting money brought him a higher sense of security than other things.This kind of him did not bring any actual harm to Claire, and even enriched her small coffers.But Claire understands that this is not a very good thing.

She quickly got rid of the frustration of losing the award, bowed her head and meditated: "I should think about what to do."

The matter of Oscar was forgotten by Weinstein, and he quickly enjoyed the celebration banquet, but what no one in Weinstein's team expected was that things soon took a turn, which made everyone unexpected. And with the gradual appearance of relevant parties, the fire-like heat even shocked the United States.

The source of the twist comes from an article in the New York Times.However, the combination of thousands of words and sentences made every New York Times subscriber's jaw drop.

The author Rowland contacted the victim repeatedly, but the article was rejected by NBC, who did not want to offend Weinstein, and it finally appeared in the New York Times due to the help of Brad and others.

This is a long article including dialogues with thirteen female victims. The full text has only a few key words, sex, sexual assault and Harvey Weinstein. These are some famous models and actors, and even some of them Few people can be called familiar.Because many of them are models and actors, although they are not very famous.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Such an explosive entertainment gossip, which even involves the big celebrity Weinstein.Everyone is happy to discuss these.

More and more people found out about this and expressed disbelief, but they couldn’t help but not believe it. When these people exposed the records of conversations, call records, emails, and even legal documents with Weinstein, They already know the truth and falsehood of these things.

By the time Weinstein knew about it, there was nothing to stop the newspaper from being sold.

Before they could finish digesting this matter, among them, the manuscript submitted to the New York Times by Salma Hayek, who starred in the previously popular movie Frida, even mentioned Harvey Weinstein's harassment of her for several years , written in detail on it.She is the first "significant" star to stand out.

There are still many stakeholders who are waiting and watching, some are thinking about it for themselves, and some are because the company and the agent do not allow them to speak out.

In the article, she used the most peaceful language to describe the most unbearable reality, but the effect was even more touching.

She stood up at this moment, very unintelligent, for people to make fun of, but she has no regrets.She no longer wants to escape, and if she can stab Weinstein severely, she is willing to be the sharpest knife.
