Chapter 737

In every award season of the American film circle, there are always people who attack each other. Most of the Oscar candidates, just like the US presidential election, try their best to publicize themselves, but also try their best to suppress their opponents. This is not only now, it has existed for a long time.

Harvey Weinstein can be described as a master in this field, but also created a series of Oscar tragedies.

Although Oscars never talk about moral standards and rely on film works, the influence of some negative news is real. For example, Harvey Weinstein attacked Roman Polanski at the beginning. Although Roman Polanski won the title of best director as he wished, pianist lost the best film little golden man when he was favored by the outside world, and the reason is that the film is so popular Among them, Harvey Weinstein instigated the media to bring up the case of strong young children again.

The same case is Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.

These negative effects are real and should not be ignored.

Since the beginning of the award season, many people have taken advantage of the opportunity of Catholic attacks on Murphy and "dark city" to say that topics such as instigating crime in this film are obviously to suppress the momentum of "dark city".

Especially now that December 31 is getting closer and closer, the Academy of film arts and Sciences is about to open the vote for the nomination of the 86th Academy Awards, and there are more and more news that is not good for "dark city".

Murphy can see clearly that many of them are from Leonardo DiCaprio, because among these negative news, the most people attack the role of magician and his actor James Franco. Although Fox and Stanton studios in the 20th century and James Franco have never officially announced that they are competing for the best actor, the declaration has been submitted long ago It's easy to be known by people outside.

What's more, the CAA will not support Matthew McConaughey too much to help James Franco fight for the best actor. As long as you have the heart, it's not hard to hear.

Obviously, Leonardo DiCaprio sees James Franco as his number one rival for the best actor Oscar.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Murphy have conflicts, but there is no conflict with James Franco, and even a little friendship, but the best actor of the Oscar is in the front, these friendship is nothing at all.

Last month, when Murphy, Gail gado and bill rosis discussed how to deal with Leonardo DiCaprio, James Franco was also present, and he never objected.

Competition is the most normal situation in this circle.

However, compared with Leonardo DiCaprio's aggressiveness, Murphy and James Franco have been silent. This silence is not a sign of weakness, but a wait!

On the one hand, waiting for the detailed survey results of professionals employed by CAA; on the other hand, waiting for the most appropriate opportunity.

The upcoming vote for the 86th Academy Awards nomination is undoubtedly a very good time.

Just after Christmas, several media and fox entertainment channels of 20th century fox, as well as many websites and social platforms on the Internet, burst out a news at the same time.

"Leonardo DiCaprio is suspected to be involved in the largest money laundering case in the history of the world!"

This kind of title is not thrilling!

The following content will also shock viewers.

"According to reliable information, the scale of funds misappropriated by the famous foundation 1mdb from 2009 to 2013 was as high as US $3.5 billion. These funds were illegally transferred through bank accounts in the United States, Singapore, Switzerland, Luxembourg and other places, and then flowed into the pockets of some senior officials in Malaysia 1mdb has become their money laundering tool. "

"Part of the money went to various charities under Leonardo DiCaprio."

"This part of the money involves several corruption cases in Malaysia's political situation, among which the core figure is Liu zuote, a close friend of many senior Malaysian officials who are often active in Hollywood. Liu zuote is the core figure of 1mdb foundation!"

"Liu zotte has a lot of friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio. According to people around him, Liu zotte has been a regular" drinking friend "of Leonardo since at least 2010."

"It is with the investment of Liu zot that Reza Aziz, the son of a senior official who has a decisive influence in the political situation of Malaysia, and Joey McFarlane jointly set up the red rock film company!"

"It's well known that this company is the investor of the Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio. At the end of the film, the subtitle also says" special thanks: Liu zot. "

"There are exact documents that show that the vast majority of the investment in the Great Gatsby comes from the 1mdb foundation. After the funds are converted into legal film income, they are transferred to the accounts of some people in Malaysia and many charitable foundations of Leonardo DiCaprio through special accounts and channels."

"It has been revealed that the funds illegally appropriated by liuzot are not only used to invest in Leonardo DiCaprio's films, but also contribute a lot to his foundation. At this year's birthday party of Leonardo DiCaprio, liuzot and Joey McFarlane bought more than 3 million US dollars of champagne as fundraising for the Leonardo DiCaprio Charity Fund, instead of The source of the funds is unknown. ""The Leonardo DiCaprio foundation was established in 1998 with the popularity of Titanic in 1997. Since 2008, the foundation has donated US $59 million to 112 projects in 48 countries."

"Leonardo DiCaprio's fund is set up in the form of a donor led Fund (DAF) and is not a non-profit fund in itself. The fund is attached to the California community fund, which is a non-profit fund. According to local regulations in the United States, the Leonardo DiCaprio fund does not need to disclose its income and expenditure details, and it is difficult for people to understand its financial status.

"While the operation of Leonardo DiCaprio fund is not transparent, Leonardo DiCaprio and the main suspect in the money laundering case of 1mdb are very close, and the numerous economic exchanges between the two sides also make people doubt whether this Hollywood superstar has participated in a very serious international money laundering case?"

"The Leonardo DiCaprio fund has long been questioned: who will pay the six employees of the fund? Who will pay for the fund's activities and other operating expenses? What is the total management cost of the fund? How much of the money raised is spent on fund operators, and how much is really spent on charity? "

"These opaque options may facilitate international money laundering!"

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Leonardo DiCaprio slowly put down his newspaper. As soon as Christmas was over, he saw the news on the Internet. Then he quickly asked someone to check it, and called Liu Zote himself to question the source of the funds.

To a certain extent, he really does not know the source of 1mdb's funds. To be more precise, he does not want to know at all.

Leonardo DiCaprio has never asked, and Liu zotte has never mentioned, everything is basically handled by the foundation staff, and he has never participated in it.

In this way, even if something happens, it's easier to pick yourself up.

But what Leonardo DiCaprio didn't expect was that at the beginning, it was just spread on the Internet. The next day, not only Fox News Station participated in the report, but also the newly published Hollywood Reporter appeared relevant news

In this way, Leonardo DiCaprio can't guess that there must be someone behind it.

He turned his head and looked south through the huge glass window. A few miles away, it was wave Manor!

"You..." He looked over there and murmured, "what a grudge! If it's such a small matter, you still have to hold on to me! "

Leonardo DiCaprio can't help shaking his head. He just pushed a little behind the original author of Wall Street wolf. Who knows that Murphy Stanton not only turned his face and didn't recognize people, but also chased and grabbed him, and now he still wants to destroy his plan for Austria.

Although it is clear that even if these things are done, they will not bring much legal trouble to themselves, but Leonardo DiCaprio knows better that there are so many reports in the media, and they are well founded. Especially if the Great Gatsby is involved, his impact on the best actor of the Oscar will certainly be affected.

After nearly 30 years in this circle, Leonardo DiCaprio is also a person who is used to big waves. He has encountered all kinds of situations. Although it is a bit difficult this time, he didn't panic. Instead, he kept dialing the phone and negotiating with the team behind him and the people of 1mdb foundation.

Panic and fury will not help. This is a very simple truth. Leonardo DiCaprio is not the boy of that year. How can he not understand this?

Besides, even if there is such news, he may not lose! Just as he launched a powerful attack on James Franco, he didn't think he would win.

One by one the phone calls go out, and one by one the phone calls come in. Leonardo DiCaprio keeps listening to suggestions and discussing countermeasures with others. He is not only a superstar in Hollywood, but also the boss of a film company. Even a director of Martin Scorsese's level can play well. Of course, he won't easily admit defeat.

It's still too early for the Oscars ceremony, everything is still unknown!

But after the new year, when the Academy announced the nominations for the 86th Academy Awards, negative news about his money laundering almost appeared in the media.
