Chapter 267 266. Intensifying

In the MGM building, reporters from Lionheart, YouTube and Yahoo gathered here, preparing for the next interview.

As for the paparazzi from major TV stations and newspapers, they were all turned away.

However, although this approach can prevent them from obtaining effective information and posing problems for Eric, it cannot stop them from disgusting themselves.

Because these TV stations chose to broadcast live, the cameras were facing the MGM gate.

The theme is that MGM closed its doors to visitors and refused interviews, and it seemed that it was guilty. Eric Cooper must have something to hide.

If you have no problem, why don't you dare to accept our interview? If you don't accept it, then there is a problem.

If we ignore MGM's hostile stance towards them, the logic does make sense, since the vast majority of people in the world are just a mob anyway.

These people are incapable of independent thinking. They believe whatever the media says and are perfect candidates for being used as guns.

Compared with the later self-media era, this situation is also very serious, but compared with the people of this period, there is no doubt that the people of this era are more ignorant.

After the vigorous hype by the six major TV stations and TV stations, the flames of public opinion have been ignited.

Many people went to MGM's official website to leave abusive messages and demanded that Eric apologize and give an explanation.

Some people even threatened to stop subscribing to Lionheart.com next month and to boycott "Transformers" and "The Hunger Games" to oppose the bitch Gal Gadot.

Many people also called on the local prosecutor's office in Los Angeles to take action and investigate whether Eric sexually assaulted minors.

"Let me go! You're hurting me, asshole!"

"No way, I will never let you go. You are my love and will always be my love."

In the lounge, Eric hugged Gadot forcefully and pressed her on the sofa.

Although she apologized on the phone, even the most obedient Gadot immediately started cursing at Eric.

He could only apologize again and again, expressing his regret and love, and then tricked the other party into coming to this interview.

Of course, a few words of apology obviously could not eliminate Gadot's dissatisfaction and hatred. Even though she saved face for Eric in front of outsiders, she couldn't help punching and kicking him when the two faced each other.

In accordance with Eric's request, Gadot has been working out since she came to Hollywood. Although she is not a muscular woman, her strength should not be underestimated.

Eric was in the wrong, so he wanted to be beaten up by her to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he almost vomited his gallbladder after being hit by a few punches.

As expected, although sex consumes a lot of physical energy, it obviously cannot replace fitness.

Fortunately, Gadot was still thinking about him, and seeing that he looked upset, she didn't continue to attack him, and then he was pushed down on the sofa.

Eric kept kissing her, trying to pry her mouth open but failed. Suddenly, he felt a salty taste stimulating his taste buds.

Looking up, I saw two lines of tears sliding down Gadot's face from her eyes.

Eric felt a pain in his heart, and he hurriedly helped her up: "I'm sorry, baby, please don't cry! If you cry, it will only make me feel worse!"

Gadot remained silent, but tears kept falling down.

Eric didn't know what to do, so he just kept apologizing and holding her tightly in his arms.

After a while, Gadot spoke faintly: "I plan to go home. You disappoint me, Eric. We are done!"

"No, don't say that, dear. How can we end? I want to walk with you forever. I want to be with you for a hundred years."

"Hehe! You'd better go with those women, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, the Olsen sisters, you have a really big taste. The twins simply make me sick. After the interview and clarification, I will go back to Israel and pretend that we have never known each other."

"Wait a minute, Gadot, you can't do this. Have you forgotten your dream? You want to be a world-class superstar. As long as you finish filming The Hunger Games, this dream will come true. You are about to succeed. How can you give up?"

Gadot shook her head with red eyes: "Eric, that is your dream, not mine. It doesn't matter if I don't act in movies. It's not in my life plan."

"I thank you for letting me dream of being a star for two years, but let's stop here. I can't think of you making out with another woman while filming. I'm not that magnanimous."

"I am not in the mood to make The Hunger Games anymore. Although I don't have enough money to pay the penalty, I still have 1% of MGM's shares."

"If you use this 1% of the shares to pay off your debts, I think it will be worth more than 100 million, enough for you to shoot it all over again."

Seeing that Gadot had even thought of a way out and seemed determined to leave, Eric got even more headache.

"My dear, you can't do this. You can't just abandon me like this. I want to tell you something else."

"What is it?" Gadot asked weakly.

"My mother wants to see you."

Hearing this, Gadot was a little surprised.

"Why did you want to see me? Did you tell her?"

"Well, she was very happy after learning about our love and invited you to dinner at home. My father also knew about it and they are willing to accept you as a member of the Cooper family."

Gadot was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly: "When?"

Seeing her attitude soften, Eric was relieved: "You must come on Friday. I promised them that I would convince you to come to my house. Don't embarrass me."

"Humph! Let's talk about it later. I need to think about it."

Huh. Eric let out a long sigh. Dealing with women's affairs was much more tiring than fighting against the Big Six.

You can use any means to fight those old bastards, but for your own woman, all you have to do is apologize or comfort her, and the result depends entirely on her mood.

It’s tiring, so tiring. No wonder people say chasing a wife is like a funeral procession.

"Mom, everything depends on you! Fight for your son's honor!" Eric roared in his heart.

After wiping away their tears and touching up their makeup to make sure that no one could tell they had been crying, the two of them attended the interview together, or to be more precise, as a group of people.

Set up the camera and aim the lens.

Lionheart.com still adopts the live broadcast mode, while the other two adopt the edited and recorded broadcast mode.

The advantage of this is obvious: others cannot discredit you through malicious editing.

The staff signaled that it was time to begin, and the Yahoo reporter started asking questions.

Yahoo plays the leading role in this battle, so that no one can say that Eric is deliberately whitewashing himself. Yahoo is not my soldier, so it always has some credibility.

"Mr. Cooper, do you know what Barlefali said? Many people hope that MGM can give an explanation."

Eric turned on the microphone: "I know, today I am specifically here to clarify this matter."

"Clarify? Are you saying that everything Barrafaeli said was false?"

"Yes, it is completely fabricated and not credible at all. Bar Refaeli was instructed by someone to deliberately frame me and Gadot and MGM. This is a conspiracy."

"In her lies, Gadot and I became the most heinous slave owners. We are as hateful as Satan."

"But the fact is that she was able to come to Hollywood and become famous today because of the opportunities given by MGM."

"It sounds like there are many unknown stories hidden behind this." The reporter's eyes lit up.

"I want the public to know everything, Gadot, you tell the story." Eric looked to the side.

Gadot nodded, and then recounted in detail how she and Bar Refaeli came to the United States from Israel and what happened in between.

Her tone and expression contained anger and confusion: "I still don't understand why Refaeli framed me. We have known each other for a long time and have lived under the same roof for two years. I have always regarded her as my closest relative, but she has disappointed me so much!"

"I don't know if Refaeli has been threatened or has other difficulties, but I hope she can come forward and tell the truth. I am willing to help her. We are all willing to help her."

"In other words, you have never exploited or oppressed Barlefali at all?" the reporter continued to ask.

Eric took over the conversation: "I also want to ask many people who doubt it, if Barrafaeli's life is really as miserable as she said, how do you explain all that she has suffered?"

"First it was The Walking Dead, then House of Cards. They were all big-budget shows that were bound to be popular, and her characters were also very likable, so they both played a significant role."

"I would like to ask, looking at the entire Hollywood, how many people can enjoy the treatment that Bar Rafaeli has? Shelly, you are the most qualified to speak on this question."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The camera turns to the representative of the Actors Guild. Her task this time is to handle the case impartially and impartially and only tell the facts she has.

"If we look at the number of actors registered with the Screen Actors Guild, Bar LeFai has undoubtedly surpassed 99% of actors in terms of luck and treatment by being able to play an important role in a hit drama right after her debut."

"That's right. She was able to take on commercial performances and attend the Emmy Awards because I was supporting her, not exploiting her."

"But Bar Refaeli betrayed my trust. She acted on her own will and thought that she could do whatever she wanted with her fame, and she didn't follow the rules on the set."

"And I still gave her more than a week to reflect, but she didn't cherish the opportunity, so MGM was forced to fire her."

"These are not just my own nonsense, everything is proven."

After that, Frank Darabont showed the clock-in records and related photos on the set during this period, and the Screen Actors Guild also confirmed this.

Actor representatives including Rick, Daryl, and Daniel Wu also expressed their opinions.

The person who really dealt the fatal blow was Barrafaeli's agent. She was so upset about this matter these days and hated this bitch so much in her heart.

In her story, Barrafaeli becomes a scheming woman with bad temper, strong jealousy and ambitious.

As people talked about their experiences, the attitudes of many viewers who watched the live broadcast changed.

"I've said it before, Barry Farley's words may not be credible. At least MGM can produce evidence, while she can only talk nonsense."

"Eric Cooper said this was an elaborate trap. Once he got into trouble, TV stations and newspapers wanted to broadcast it on a loop around the clock. It's obvious who was behind it."

"I almost got tricked by that bitch. I cursed her for a long time. I should apologize to Eric Cooper and Gal Gadot."

"Haha. Eric Cooper is a powerful person with a lot of resources. He wants to hold a whitewashing meeting. Who among these people would not cooperate?"

"It's totally unreliable. Why did they only let reporters from Yahoo, YouTube and Lionheart in? MGM is clearly guilty. This was all discussed in advance. Don't be fooled!"

"I'd rather trust Barrefaeli's character. She's closer to us, isn't she?"

"What's the bullshit reason to be closer? She can make hundreds of thousands of dollars for a play, can you?"

At the scene, the reporter looked through the interview catalog and raised another very concerned question.

"Mr. Cooper, your relationship with Gal Gadot is also a focus of everyone's concern. When you started dating, was she an adult?"

Eric reached out and held Gadot's hand: "No, she was 17 at the time, but I can guarantee that we never broke through the last level until she was 18."

Gadot said solemnly: "This is a private matter between us. I don't want everyone to pay too much attention to this aspect."

"In the time I've been with Eric, he's always been a gentleman and never done anything out of line."

"I appreciate everyone's concern, but that's it."

Seeing that the reporter had no more questions, Eric finally said: "The truth will never be buried or covered up, and those hiding behind the scenes will eventually be found out."

"If Barrefaeli dares to admit that what he said is true, then come out and confront him on the spot, otherwise you don't deserve any sympathy!"

Eric didn't know how many hearts this interview could win back, all he could do was try his best.

After the show, he wanted to take Gadot to see the new house, but the girl was obviously still angry and rejected his invitation.

The next day, as Yahoo and YouTube released the interview videos, the discussion about this matter reached a new height.

But it did work after all. There were obviously more voices supporting MGM, and many people called on Barry Falley to stop hiding, because true gold is not afraid of fire.

Some people also think that it is outrageous to keep harping on the relationship between Eric and Gadot.

They are both willing to fight and be beaten, and they have such a good relationship, why do you want to meddle in their affairs?

However, many people also believe that a thorough investigation is necessary, otherwise it would be tantamount to condoning underage sexual crimes.

Major television stations and newspapers have continued to put pressure on the Los Angeles judicial system over this matter, but have not yet received a response.

Some gossip tabloids and magazines also republished the so-called interview.

In these interviews, Eric and Gadot are just as Bar Lefaeli said, heinous villains and bullies on the set.

But without exception, the interviewees either cannot be disclosed, or are people in the circle but their names cannot be revealed, and more are extras who have participated in MGM projects.

Anyone with a little independent thinking ability knows that the credibility of this kind of interview is very low.

But the number is too large. When many people around you are conveying the same message, a false message can become true through exaggeration.

YouTube interviewed many Hollywood stars that Eric was familiar with, and everyone gave very positive comments.

On Facebook, Deadpool, Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman, Peter Jackson and others also expressed their support for Eric's character.

The two sides seemed to be stuck in a tug-of-war, but without the support of the mainstream media, MGM was still at a disadvantage.

The box office of "Million Dollar Baby" was also seriously affected, and even its imdb score dropped below 8 points.

Eric has been too lazy to go out these days. He has been comforting his darlings while planning a counterattack.

Fast forward to Thursday, and under tremendous public pressure, the Los Angeles judicial system finally gave in and said it would investigate whether Eric had sexually assaulted minors.

"Mr. Eric Cooper, I'm Leonard, the local prosecutor. I'm now investigating you. Please cooperate!"

A uniformed man with glasses walked into Eric's office accompanied by two policemen.
