Chapter 267 262 False Accusations, Anti-Rebellion Manifesto!
Chapter 263 262. Framed and rebuked!
It is common for female celebrities to get together with big bosses of entertainment companies, whether in Hollywood or around the world.
The audience knows, and the most they can joke about is sugar daddy, which may have some impact on the female stars, but after a while, no one will mention it again after the cold treatment is over.
If the female star is strong enough, even the sugar daddy comments will disappear, and everyone will just praise the golden boy, the talented girl and the beautiful girl.
And for the big guys, the impact is even more minimal, especially those who are behind the scenes. The audience usually doesn't see you, so they will naturally forget about it.
Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything random, such as a third party interfering in other people's marriages, or getting together with a notorious female star.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, it will not only affect the personal image, but also have a certain impact on the company. Many viewers will hate the whole family. A very obvious example is the British royal family.
One of the reasons why Charles has never been recognized and why he has been criticized is Princess Diana.
In the office, Eric looked at the pile of entertainment magazines on the table with an ugly face. Almost all of them had him and Gadot on the cover.
Some are two people hugging each other, some are kissing, and some are two people hugging each other and lying on the sofa watching TV. They behave very intimately, and you can tell they are lovers or lovers at a glance.
There are many angles and poses in these photos, but without exception, they all have one thing in common, that is, they were taken indoors, in Gadot’s rental house.
The photo has been exposed, but you can't deny it at will like before. Eric has to admit it even if he doesn't want to, otherwise how can you explain it?
Looking at the livid boss, Carol no longer dared to speak as usual, and spoke cautiously: "Boss, these magazines seem to have appeared overnight, filling the entire shelf, without giving us any time for public relations. and opportunities.”
"And judging by the circumstances, you must have been secretly photographed. This is very abnormal. Not only are magazines selling like hotcakes now, but scandals about you and Gadot have also appeared online."
"Does it need to be remedied? At least let the Internet public opinion ferment slower."
Eric leaned back, thought about it and rejected it. Spending money to make peace depends on whether there is hope of peace, and this time it is obviously not the case.
"It's useless, it's too late to say anything now, and I know who is doing it."
As he spoke, he took out a business card: "Contact Dan Jones, she is an outstanding private detective, and ask her to investigate my surroundings. I don't want a stalker around me."
"Understood, boss!"
After Carol went out, Eric slowly came to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bustling crowds of people and cars below, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
There is no doubt that the Big Six must be behind it. They will use all means to disgust Eric and make him feel uncomfortable.
This kind of tidbits may not have a substantial impact on business, box office, or stock prices, but as long as you are uncomfortable, I will be comfortable. It can at least distract Eric a lot, which is also useful.
And the person who can take these indoor photos is most likely not a paparazzi or a detective. Every time he goes on a date with Gadot, he is very careful to ensure that no one is following him, unless someone knows special powers such as invisibility, wall penetration, and perspective.
Excluding the paparazzi and detectives, there are only two suspects left.
Gadot has always been obedient. Eric has always made the decision between the two of them, and she has long been accustomed to following arrangements.
And she didn't have the scheming and courage. Eric was 100% sure that it wasn't her.
Then there is only one suspect left - Bar Refaeli.
This bitch even deliberately disappeared, and everything was right.
"Fuck you! It's a shame I'm worried about whether you've been kidnapped!"
After the scolding, Eric had a headache. He could already imagine the reactions of the other women after seeing the photo.
He must be furious, and the call will probably come soon. How to deal with it will be a big trouble, a big trouble.
Besides, I haven't adjusted their relationship well yet, so at least another year and a half would be enough.
bell.
I was getting angry when my cell phone started ringing.
With his heart beating unsatisfactorily, Eric walked to the desk. Even though he was reluctant, he looked over and saw two big words on it, which turned out to be dad.
"Well, in addition to women, there is also the family to pass."
After complaining to himself, he could only answer the phone.
"Son, I got the news. You seem to have gotten yourself into trouble." Dad chuckled teasingly on the phone.
Eric rolled his eyes, the old man was still laughing.
"Okay dad, what do you want to say? I'm annoyed right now. If you want to laugh at me, then hang up!"
"Don't hang up the phone in a hurry. It's just exposing your relationship. What's there to worry about?"
"You are a young man and Gal Gadot is a beautiful girl. You two seem to be a perfect match, unless you don't want others to know about your relationship."
"And why don't you want others to know? I think it's probably because you have other girlfriends."
"Bye-bye boring detective games!"
"Wait! Wait Eric, I'm not joking with you, you want to solve the problem, don't you? Then it's best to listen to other people's opinions."
Eric immediately stopped pressing the keys: "Dear dad, please help your son."
"Haha. Then tell me first, how many women are you dating at the same time?"
Eric calculated in his mind, Gadot, Nicole, Theron, Ashley, and Mary must be counted.
Liu Xiaoli, Elena, and Zhou Wenqiong can only be counted as buddies. Liu Yifei and Elizabeth are still young and have not yet started, and they cannot be counted as reserve talents.
"Count it five."
"Five!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded on the phone, which was obviously my mother's.
"No, I was tricked!" Eric cursed secretly and immediately hung up the phone.
What the hell is going on? I am upset. Not only does my father not help me, but I also help my mother to trick me. I am really speechless.
With my mother's temperament, she warned her for a long time about the scandal with Nicole last year, but this time she didn't even faint from anger when she found out he had five girlfriends.
"No, no, no, calm down, calm down, there will definitely be a way. I am a billionaire. At worst, I will spend money on it. Who doesn't love money?"
Then Eric pinched himself.
What the hell kind of idea is this? It’s easy for most women to throw money at them, but the problem is that they don’t seem to be short of money.
Even the poorest Gadot, with her current fame, it is not easy to make money.
The richest people, Ashley and Mary, are worth more than $500 million based on the current value of Double Star Entertainment, and they will continue to grow.
There is a tenfold difference between one dollar and ten dollars, but there is no difference between one hundred million and one billion, because they cannot be spent all.
And it would be too insulting to throw money at it, it would simply insult the feelings.
Eric has feelings for the five of them, and the five of them also have feelings for Eric. Money is not everything at this time.
bell.
The phone call came and it was indeed my mother.
"Mom, I'm busy dealing with the company's affairs. Can I explain everything after I get home?" Eric blocked his mother's mouth first.
"Uh okay, then I'll wait for you!"
Just after hanging up the phone, there was another knock on the door outside within two minutes.
"Who?" Eric shouted angrily.
Click!
Judy opened the door and walked in. Her face looked very bad, her eyes were bloodshot, her clothes were a little dirty, and she had an unpleasant smell. It looked like she hadn't rested for several days.
"Judy, what's going on? You don't look good." Eric looked at her worriedly.
Glancing at the magazines on the table, Judy's voice was a little hoarse: "I just flew back from Israel. I already know the matter."
"Don't worry Eric, I'm not here to plead for mercy, and I'm not a fool. Barrefali is a traitor!"
"Not only did she betray MGM, she betrayed me! I searched for her for five days and made countless phone calls, but to no avail."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her here in the first place. It's all my fault!"
well!
Sighing, Eric stood up and walked over to hold Judy in his arms, patting her back gently.
During the four years of college, Judy was the most diligent in changing girlfriends, but since she found Barrefali, she became dedicated because she really thought she had found love.
But it's obvious that the so-called love is just Judy's wishful thinking. Whoever is tempted will be hurt. It seems that she was seriously hurt this time.
"Forget it, don't say it. Love can make people blind. I don't mean to blame you."
"Look at how you look now. You are no longer as high-spirited as you usually are. Go back, take a good bath and sleep first, and then talk about other things after you wake up."
But the more generous Eric was, the more uncomfortable Judy felt.
She said with cold eyes: "I don't care if she leaves, but she should never do this. She is harming my friends."
"Eric, I promise you that I will find Refaeli and make her pay!"
Seeing Judy's gloomy look, Eric was a little worried: "Don't mess around. Even if you find someone, don't be impulsive."
"Especially you can't use violence. Although you are the most capable of fighting among the five of us, we all have laws above our heads. Don't harm yourself."
Judy sneered: "What are you talking about, do I look like a fool? Besides, what's the use of beating her up? Maybe I'll have to pay her some money."
"Haha. It's best if you think this way, go home and have a good rest, and then come see me when you feel refreshed."
"Um."
When she reached the door, Judy suddenly turned around and said, "Eric, Bar Refaeli is no longer my girlfriend. You can do whatever you want."
Eric smiled: "I'm just waiting for your words."
Soon, MGM released a statement.
"Bar Refaeli's unexplained absence from filming for a long time and her failure to ask for leave from the crew resulted in a serious delay in the filming schedule of The Walking Dead."
"His behavior violated the spirit of the contract and constituted a unilateral breach of contract."
"So after careful consideration, MGM has decided to terminate all working relationships with Barle Farley in accordance with the provisions of the contract and to seek compensation for the losses caused by his breach of contract."
"MGM will not have any future work exchanges with such dishonest actors, and we hope that the Screen Actors Guild will deal with it from a fair standpoint."
After this statement was issued, it quickly triggered widespread discussion and was associated with the scandal between Eric and Gadot.
"What's going on? Has Barre Farley been canceled by MGM? What about Maggie? I love Maggie."
"Bar Reifali is such an actress, her character is too bad!"
"Really? Bar Reifali is so beautiful, she would never do this. This is just a unilateral statement from MGM, which may not be credible."
"I seem to understand. Bar Reifali and Gal Gadot are roommates, and those indoor photos of Eric Cooper and Gal Gadot were exposed by Bar Reifali."
"It has been verified that it was Bar Reifali who exposed the scandal, which angered Eric Cooper. Everything is an excuse because she offended someone she shouldn't have offended!"
"I don't care about gossip. I just want to know what will happen to "House of Cards"? What will happen to "The Walking Dead"? How will Bar Reifali's role be handled?"
Netizens are eating melons online. On one hand, there is a wonderful confrontation on the big screen, and on the other hand, there are gossips flying all over the sky in the real world. It's really interesting.
The reason why Eric issued a statement, in addition to discrediting Bar Reifali, is to force her to show up.
I don't know where this bitch is hiding, and I don't know if she has anything else in her hands. We must force her out quickly.
It turns out that this method is effective. Not long after MGM's statement was issued, a video was circulated.
Or to be more precise, it is a rebellious manifesto.
In the picture, Barle Fali has a face full of grief and indignation, and looks like she has suffered a great injustice.
She said in a heavy tone: "I have been treated unfairly, including in life and work."
"Gal Gadot is an arrogant person. When we came to Hollywood together to pursue our dreams, we were just newcomers at that time, and our relationship was very good."
"But since she and Eric Cooper got together and became the heroine of "Transformers", everything has changed."
"By the way, I remember that they were together a long time ago, and Gal Gadot was not yet an adult at that time."
"Since then, she is no longer like a friend, but more like a slave owner, and I am the one who is oppressed. I serve her like a servant."
"If I don't obey orders, she will let men If I exercise my privilege, I will be fired immediately and lose the role and reputation that I have worked so hard to get. "
"This is a painful experience. I really can't stand it anymore. I really can't stand those privileged people."
"We are all human beings, why do I have to suffer unfair treatment!"
"Yes, I did leave the crew of "The Walking Dead" without asking for leave, but that's because I can't stand it anymore."
"I'm about to collapse. The laughter of the two of them is like a nightmare that haunts me all the time and keeps me awake. Everything is too painful."
"Even if I am fired, even if I will be sued, I will stand up and speak out."
"Because I must defend my dignity!"
