53 Ellen Shaw
When Harvey received the notice from his assistant, Jack Cheng and "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were presenting the Best Short Film Award.
If Harvey hadn't known about Bai Quinn's entire marketing plan, he would have thought that what happened tonight was a deliberate stunt by Bai Quinn.
Entertainment reporters must know! Let them write a big book and warm up "Bonnie and Frank"!
No, no, no, don’t release all the news first, give a little bit first, and then reverse it, the popularity will be even greater!
Just do it!
Harvey was not worried at all about whether his leading actor would be able to get out of the police station. If the situation described by the assistant was not deliberately concealed, Quinn would be a respected Good Samaritan.
)
If the witness runs away, it will be a problem. Then just pay the lawyer to fish him out and the media to clear his name.
After briefly sorting out the situation, Harvey quickly arranged for his assistant to cooperate with Christopher to "find people."
Now Harvey is more confident that "Bonnie and Frank" will be a hit at the box office.
Good things come one after another. On the awards stage, Martin Landau opened the envelope and read out the name of the best supporting actress: "Mira Soranno! "Not a Strong Aphrodisiac"!"
The audience burst into applause, and many people around focused their attention on Harvey, instead of Mira Sorvino, who was celebrating with her new boyfriend Quentin Tarantino.
Mira and Quentin kiss and break up immediately.
Her performance was still substandard and needed training, Harvey thought to himself.
Mila's acceptance speech highlighted Harvey.
Well, you still remembered to thank me for not getting carried away. Harvey felt quite accomplished.
Mira thanked her father, Paul Sorvino, who cried in public, and the atmosphere at the Oscars reached its climax.
Everyone knows that Mira was able to defeat the favorite British rose Kate Winslet, and Xavi played a major role.
Harvey kept his big boss smile and fully enjoyed the moment... This feeling of having power is so wonderful!
…
Oscar night is over. In the news reports the next day, in addition to the two topics of "Braveheart" winning the award and slapping Britain in the face, and "Sense and Sensibility" being publicly executed in 80 votes, what did Mira Quentin announce?
Love affairs, Pattis Hilton's sexy dress and other tidbits have to be put aside. The third big news is that a white actor dared to attack demonstrators demanding equal rights in Hollywood, causing three black youths to be seriously injured and hospitalized.
This news was simply shocking. That afternoon, Jonathan Jackson, the son of Jesse Jackson's lawyer, gave an interview to CNN in front of the North Hollywood Police Station and strongly denounced this vile racist behavior.
"This is pure discrimination! It is the behavior of the Ku Klux Klan! It is a trampling on our rainbow cause! It is a disregard for black civil rights!
First Class! We will boycott this film! Paramount! We urge you to stop releasing movies starring racists! Richard Gere! Look who you are working with! Edward Norton
!We will definitely drive this scum like you out of Hollywood!"
At this time, the door of the police station opened, and someone shouted: "Come out!"
The reporters quickly left Jonathan Jackson, who was still in a state of excitement, and rushed to the door of the police station.
At the entrance of the North Hollywood Police Station, two LAPD officers opened the way. The first person to walk out was a middle-aged man with short hair. He was dressed in formal clothes, with shiny hair and a round face. He looked like a pampered social elite.
The short-haired middle-aged man coughed, straightened his tie first, took the small microphone from the tall and reserved attendant behind him, stood on the steps, looked around, and said slowly: "Dear media friends, hello everyone! I
I am the attorney for Mr. Quinn White and Mr. Edward Norton! My name is Alan Shaw. With the authorization of my client, I can answer questions for media friends... But! But... As long as it involves specific
Regarding the case, in order to avoid public opinion interfering with the judicial system and for the sake of judicial fairness, I will not answer... Be quiet, be quiet, I can't answer you all talking together, why don't you ask this lady to speak first..."
Ellen Shaw gestured to the young reporter with chestnut hair who was nearest him to ask questions. The female reporter immediately asked: "Excuse me, will Mr. Edward Norton be detained?"
Alan Shaw gave a friendly smile to the female reporter, picked up the microphone, and said: "My two clients, Mr. Edward Norton and Mr. Quinn Bai, have both left the Los Angeles County Police Department. There will be no new ones."
Until evidence emerges, the prosecutors will temporarily withhold prosecution. At the same time, we will abide by our promise and will not leave Los Angeles within 48 hours and cooperate with the police and prosecutors’ investigations at any time.”
"Favoritism!"
"Unfair law enforcement!"
"Just because they're white?"
Outside the group of reporters, many protesters holding rainbow flags and slogans gathered. After hearing what Alan Shaw said, they loudly expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Allen! Mr. Allen!" a male reporter shouted loudly.
Seeing Alan Xiao looking at him, he quickly asked: "Did your client beat Wally, Harland and Martin III?"
"This question involves the circumstances of the case, so I can't answer it," Allen replied.
"Then how did they get admitted to the hospital? Mr. Martin is still in the intensive care unit and is not completely out of danger. Could it be said that they fell by themselves?" The reporter was reluctant.
Allen, standing at the top of the steps, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked down at the reporter, and asked: "Which newspaper do you belong to?"
The reporter proudly replied: "I'm from CNN! What we need is the facts! Did he hit someone?"
Alan Shaw smiled, bent down and said to the CNN reporter: "Okay, let me describe the facts to you: On Oscar night, the three rookie actors who received invitations to the Oscar celebration party had no criminal record.
, No Bad Deeds, the starring film will be released next month, and it is a promising time for them. They wore dresses rented for thousands of dollars and hurried to the Los Angeles Music Hall.
Three street gangsters, all with a record of theft and robbery. By the way, your Martin III was sentenced to 18 months in prison for assault, and he was also said to be carrying a five-inch long dagger.
The two groups happened to meet at the corner of the park, and there was a woman in the trio of actors.
That's the truth, sir, and anyone with a clear head can guess what happened next."
The crowd made various comments. Many people did not know the background of the three injured people, let alone that they were carrying weapons.
When the CNN reporter saw this, he became anxious and shouted: "They went to participate in a demonstration, and your white actors beat the demonstrators!"
Alan Shaw patted the microphone and suppressed the crowd's discussion with the howling sound he inspired: "You are trying to say that those three young men had just participated in a demonstration demanding fair treatment of ethnic minorities in Hollywood, so that's why they
Showed up at the park and had a conflict with my client over philosophical reasons.
That’s what you want to say, right?
I wonder why three young men who lived on the streets, had no experience in the film industry, and were even deeply involved in drugs and violence, suddenly cared about how many black actors were nominated for Oscars.
Why doesn't he care about his job?
By the way, you want facts. In fact, my client, Mr. Quinn Bai, is also a minority. Like Keanu Reeves, he is also of Eastern descent. You mean that he is opposing the demonstrations that favor him.
Activity?"
"But Edward Norton..."
"From the beginning to the end, neither Mr. Edward Norton nor Miss Sarah Michelle Gellar made any physical attack on the injured person, and it was Miss Gellar who called the police!"
