Chapter 563 The dust has settled
The black tea poured from the white porcelain teapot was steaming. Martin poured a full cup for Leonardo and only half a cup for Nicholson.
The latter brought milk and sugar cubes and added them to the tea cup. While stirring, he said: "The legs are too weak and vulnerable. I haven't even taken action yet, but just relying on Martin, my little brother, I beat them to pieces."
Leonardo looked at Nicholson and said, "Sure enough, our Face Gang has a tradition of being shameless."
Martin said: "It's you who are shameless, it has nothing to do with me."
Before the two **** could speak, he changed the topic to Harvey: "Have you enjoyed eating melon recently?"
"It's very interesting." Leonardo said specifically: "Look, what I told you was right, right? No matter if you have been dating for a few months or for one night, there is nothing wrong with being nice to a woman, right?"
Martin gave him a thumbs up: "Leonardo who never rolls over."
Leonardo's tail was raised: “I focus on single-mindedness and true feelings.”
"You two, don't be disgusted." Nicholson drank the black tea and felt that there was not enough sugar, so he added another piece and said, "It's fun to eat melon and watch the excitement, but the participation is too weak."
Martin was already prepared: "There is one thing, Jack, only you can do it. Leo and I don't have this ability."
Nicholson laughed: "What's the matter?"
Martin said: "Let the foot gang completely collapse in Hollywood!"
Leonardo asked: "Is it difficult for Xavi to turn over?"
"It is difficult to turn over, but it is not impossible." Martin will not take it lightly: "So, we press him one after another and completely crush him!"
He flicked the white porcelain tea cup: "Public opinion and industry associations will have an impact on the judiciary."
Nicholson speculated: "You mean, let the Hollywood authorities take a stance on the Harvey incident?"
Martin said with a smile: "Jack, you are one of the old white men."
Nicholson found out that this matter really belonged to him. He had been waiting to cause trouble. Now he could finally show off his skills. He drank the black tea in the cup and said, "I'm going to find Mr. and Mrs. Warren Beatty and Xi Jinping now." Talk to Denis Ganis.”
Leonardo asked: “What can I do?”
Martin said: "As the second son of the Face Gang, you just need to publicly draw a clear line with Harvey."
Leonardo nodded: "The three of us advance and retreat together, nothing to say."
After sending these two **** away, Martin called Thomas again and asked, "What did Ali say?"
Thomas replied: "The WMA will issue a statement today."
Martin said: "Once you have the first one, the rest will follow."
On the afternoon of that day, WMA held a press conference. Ali announced on behalf of the agency that WMA would not cooperate with any production crews involving Harvey Weinstein in the future.
The next day, agencies such as CAA and UTA followed suit and issued similar statements.
On the same day, Leonardo's spokesperson issued a statement on his behalf that Leonardo will not cooperate with any projects involving Harvey Weinstein.
Jolie and Aniston soon followed.
Hollywood has once again distanced itself from Harvey.
“Old fellows, we are all half-faced people who are about to see God. What is the most important thing left in this world?”
At Warren Beatty's private party, Nicholson faced a group of old white men who were similar to him and said: "Reputation! We have cherished feathers so much for more than ten years, why should we have anything to do with a **** offender?"
Beatty's wife, Annette Bening, said: "Harvey harassed me, and if I hadn't been smart, maybe he would have succeeded."
“Hey, honey,” Warren Beatty asked, “why I never heard that from you.”
Annette Bening said: "At that time, I was just one of your many running friends, and you were just one of my many running friends. We were not married yet."
Warren Beatty shrugged and said: “To be associated with able-bodied criminals is a very low standard for us.”
This love saint claims to have had relationships with more than 1,000 women, but he admits that he has never forced himself on any of them.
Nicholson said: "We old guys have all come from the most absurd times. Even so, have we done something as shameless as Harvey?"
Among the old white men here, even if someone has actually done it, they will not admit it.
Everyone was righteous: "I am ashamed to associate with strong criminals."
“These things were done in a very poor manner.”
“He has seriously lowered the tone of the Oscars and the Academy.”
Soon, most people's eyes fell on Sidney Gannis.
The current president of the academy knows that Harvey has caused public outrage. Many of the people here have daughters in their teens or 20s. They can accept their daughters messing with others for the role, but they cannot accept being raped!
Now, no one thinks that Harvey does not have such courage.
Léa Seydoux, the French actress and granddaughter of the chairman of EMI Pictures, Jon Voight's daughter Julie, and Gwyneth, the daughter of the Paltrows and Spielberg's goddaughter, are all victims.
Sidney Gannis said: "I will convene the Academy Council."
In the quiet room, Harvey seemed to have two bags hanging under his eyes, which were dark and thick. The lawyer talked about the latest situation: "Your wife Georgina filed a divorce lawsuit with the court, and temporarily applied to freeze multiple of your bank accounts and fixed assets on the grounds that the marital property is unclear..."
“Bitch!” Harvey's heart was filled with panic. What could be more painful than being betrayed by the person closest to you? He looked at the lawyer: "I can still afford the lawyer's fees!"
Lawyers are very professional and ethical: "Harvey, I'm always on your side."
Harvey's old refrain: “Then get me out of here.”
Several people come to the police station to report crimes every day, and there are new cases and evidence every day. Moreover, the California Donkey Party has been exerting pressure. It is too difficult to get a normal bail.
The lawyer said: "There is only one way now, Harvey, pretend to be sick."
With a sad expression on his face, Harvey said: "I have never done those things at all. They all came to me on their own initiative. I asked them to come to the hotel room, and they came over on their own initiative. Isn't the meaning very clear?"
The lawyer pressed his hands down: "Harvey, calm down."
Bob and Georgina's betrayal made him unable to bear it any longer, and Harvey finally broke out: "I forced them? What a joke! It's just a small matter of putting it in and taking it out again!"
The lawyer didn't know what to say.
Harvey continued: "And they put it in on their own initiative. I took it out every time, and then they put it in again. I always took it out!"
The lawyer stopped talking and allowed Harvey to vent as much as he wanted. Maybe it would be better to vent out the grievances he had been feeling for so long.
It took ten minutes for the lawyer to come out.
Harvey's face was flushed and he was very emotional. When he was being pressed out by two PDs, he suddenly became short of breath. He covered his head with one hand and his heart with the other hand, and slowly fell to the ground.
He is too heavy and does not dare to fall down too quickly for fear of pretending to be sick and becoming really sick.
While Harvey was being taken to the hospital for examination, the Film Academy Board of Governors convened a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Sidney Ganis announced on behalf of the Academy: “The Academy Board of Trustees has voted to immediately revoke Harvey Weinstein's Academy membership!”
This is the first time in the nearly 100-year history of the establishment of the Film Academy!
The Los Angeles Prosecutor's Office later announced that it would establish a special office to handle the Harvey Weinstein case.
Not only in Los Angeles, at least 20 victims also called the police in New York.
So far, the Harvey Weinstein case has exposed more than 80 victims.
The United States was shocked and the whole world paid attention.
The Mitu organization brought by Jolie and Aniston made a special trip to Washington, joined Erica and others, and organized a massive related demonstration.
At the White House's regular press conference, Guan Hai also answered reporters' questions specifically on this matter, saying that the dignity of the law must be upheld and women's rights and interests must be protected!
On the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles, people have gathered every day recently, holding up posters and banners demanding severe punishment for Harvey Weinstein.
Georgina Chapman announced that she would file a lawsuit in court to divorce Harvey Weinstein.
Before the media and the Internet could make comments that were like adding insult to injury, TMZ released a video of Harvey Weinstein beating Georgina.
Not only invasion, but also domestic violence!
All the pressure fell on Harvey.
Georgina's lawyers also beat the dog in the water and helped her take the opportunity to make more property claims.
At the end of November, the traditional Hollywood awards season has kicked off, but there are very few people paying attention to the various awards, and all eyes are focused on this event.
Harvey was temporarily released on bail, but his travel was restricted and he was not allowed to leave Los Angeles.
The day I came out of the hospital, media reporters and various social activists gathered, and there was constant abuse.
Harvey's face was hanging down. When he came out of the hospital to the car, he held his hands to push the chair with his hands.
He got in the car, looked at the driver in surprise, and asked the lawyer: "Where is my original driver?"
The lawyer could only tell him the truth: "I accepted a large sum of money from World News, and it is said that I will expose the secret information I have worked with you for more than ten years."
Harvey clenched his fists and then unclenched them, realizing that his right-hand man was not here either: "Don't tell me, Lombardo also broke the news to the media."
"No." The lawyer was exhausted: "Several girls produced evidence of Lombardo's coercion. Lombardo reached a plea agreement with the LAPD and became a witness to correct you."
Harvey's heartbeat was frighteningly fast. He quickly took out a medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed it.
Before, I was surrounded by good people.
Now, all the good guys have become bad guys!
Harvey waited until his heartbeat calmed down and said, "Scott, we are old friends who have been working together for ten years. Tell me the truth about how serious my condition is now."
The lawyer was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "It's very serious. All we see when we look up are enemies. Those who supported you the most in the past are now the ones who want you to die the most. Some people asked me to send a message. , don't say nonsense, you can come out and take care of yourself in peace in the future.”
Harvey knew what he meant: "Come out? How many years might I stay?"
The lawyer said: "An optimistic estimate is ten years."
Harvey didn't know who planned all this, trapped himself in a cage, and took the opportunity to launch the most violent offensive and make the forces that supported him turn their backs.
But there are some things that he dare not say more because he might commit suicide.
