Chapter 739

There's nothing wrong with that, but making Leonardo DiCaprio spit out $40 million is like bloodletting.

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Leonardo DiCaprio felt very sad. He felt as if something was tearing his heart, as if a heart would be torn in two at the next moment. The rational half told him that what the manager said was very correct, which was the best way to deal with it. The greedy half pulled him and told him that even if he didn't return the money, it was no big deal No, what can those people do with him?

What's more, do you really want to go to the bank for a loan to refund the money?

It's a good thing to say that most of the 25 million dollars of the Great Gatsby are still in his account, and most of the more than 10 million dollars of the charity foundation are wasted by him.

His own money is basically invested and turned into fixed assets. Most of his daily expenses are paid by several charitable foundations, that is to say, let those charitable donors pay, and then go through the management expenses of charitable foundations.

Why is he so enthusiastic about charity? To improve one's reputation and style is on the one hand, to maintain a luxurious life without spending too much money is on the other hand.

Let him spit out the money he spent. It's no wonder he doesn't feel sorry.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more. He knew that Liu tezuo had generously withdrawn millions of dollars for Leonardo DiCaprio and others to gamble in the casino. 1mdb had donated millions of dollars for Leonardo DiCaprio's foundation and given expensive gifts such as expensive champagne and art.

Perhaps there is no legal problem, but in terms of public opinion, it is impossible for both sides to get rid of the relationship.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a smart man, spit out such a huge amount of money, although will be distressed to sleep, but in the end will definitely make a wise choice.

There was no noise around. Leonardo DiCaprio stood here, closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Well..."

He said it very hard, as if he would die at any time, "just do as you say."

The middle-aged man nodded, took out his cell phone and began to make a call. The team behind Leonardo DiCaprio immediately started.

In the afternoon of that day, Leonardo DiCaprio released information through the social platform, and will cooperate with the investigation of the Federal Bureau of investigation and the Ministry of justice on the suspected money laundering of 1mdb fund, the investor of the Great Gatsby, and Hongyan film. He will donate $25 million of film remuneration to the relevant agencies of the United Nations to protect children. He also said that if he is sure that his charitable foundation does accept it Gifts and donations to 1mdb will be returned in full.

The next day, a manager of the Leonardo DiCaprio charity foundation also formally responded, saying: "in early January, Mr. DiCaprio first learned about this through a government investigation into the news of the producer of the Great Gatsby. He immediately contacted the FBI and the Department of justice through his agent to confirm whether he and the foundation accepted it Gifts and charitable donations from related parties. If you receive gifts and donations, he will return them as soon as possible, and we will fully support the work of the FBI and the Department of justice. "

Although some relevant lawyers pointed out that if Leonardo DiCaprio knew in advance that the investment in the Great Gatsby was of unknown origin, or should have known that the investment involved money laundering, he might face judicial problems, but the premise was to find out the evidence of Leonardo DiCaprio's prior knowledge.

"Leonardo is not stupid..."

Murphy said to James Franco in the office of the Venice warehouse studio, "how could he be personally involved in these things? He's not a fool like Mike Tyson

"He's a smart man." James - Franco certainly will not underestimate Leonardo - DiCaprio this level of people, "there is also a very smart team behind."

Murphy nodded, "spit out 40 million dollars, I think Leonardo DiCaprio will be quiet in this award season."

In fact, the negative news about "dark city" and James Franco has been significantly reduced recently. The publicity and public relations team of Leonardo DiCaprio must be busy putting out the fire everywhere. Where is there so much time and energy to blackmail others.

That's one of the goals of Murphy and bill Rossi's counterattack.

"Forty million dollars."

"Leonardo DiCaprio must be depressed and want to vomit blood," said Robert Downey, who had not spoken

He looked at Murphy and asked, "it's really gado's idea."

"Yes." Murphy directly admitted that "such as fake package exchange."

Robert Downey, Jr. shook his head. "She's learning from you."

Murphy smiles and changes the topic. "How are you doing? It's going to start next week. "

"Absolutely no problem." Robert Downey said, "Murphy, you'll see that I'm the best actor among us!"

James Franco gave him a middle finger directly. "I'm sure you'll turn Robbie Robinson into Tony Stark."Three people laughed at the same time.

Although Robert Downey Jr. won the best actor Oscar for "Diego Ross", the best-known actor is not the Oscar winner, but the iron man Tony Stark.

In some ways, it's a kind of sadness for Oscar.

After a chat, James Franco and Robert Downey leave Murphy's office. Murphy goes on with her work. After about half an hour, she receives a call from Carla Firth.

"Good news for you." Carla Firth said on the phone, "Venice Film Festival, the same" focus "to participate in the festival's main competition unit!"

"Good!" Murphy immediately laughed. "Well done!"

In the 20th century, fox must have made a lot of efforts.

Carla Firth downplayed, "in fact, we didn't do anything. The main thing is that the strength and influence of Catholicism are not as good as before. If we put it ten years ago, this film would not even enter Italy."

Murphy thought about it. It's true. Even in Italy, the capital of the Vatican, the decline of religious power is an indisputable fact.

"One more thing, by the way." Carla Firth suddenly changed the topic, "the six major Hollywood companies have joined with some second tier film companies to propose to the film management departments across the Pacific to introduce relevant film classification regulations."

"I can't help that."

Hang up the phone, Murphy can't help shaking his head, scissors where will listen to external suggestions?

Up to now, "city of darkness" has not been shown in the cinema there. Murphy and 20th Century Fox have long given up public relations. It is a pity that they lack box office support from one of the world's largest film markets.

Even so, Murphy has never changed his mind to let the scissors change. Even this alliance of Hollywood film companies is bound to be rejected without hesitation.

It is clear that the film grading system is beneficial. This is a truth known all over the world. It has been proved in countless markets, even in some backward countries and regions, but the scissors will definitely not pass.

The scissors don't want a classification system or a demarcation line, because no matter who it is, it doesn't want to be considered to allow pornography and violence. Its restrictions on film and television content reflect all kinds of anxieties of the opposite ruling class. Film and television content should not "endanger" unity, security and honor. It should not "distort" history, have explicit * * or gambling scenes, and advocate "religious supremacy." Or "detailed description, fortune telling, divination.".

Even after 1949, those who want to become elite, demons and ghosts have to be safe and steady. If they want carp to jump over the dragon's gate, there is no door.

In theory, all of these scissors are forbidden.

To some extent, the film classification system may lead to the gradual legalization of pornographic and violent films, which is a fact that can not be ignored, and it is also one of the most worrying situations of the ruling class on the other side of the ocean.

Of course, some reasons are not critical, but they are just one of them.

For example, this does not meet the requirement of "one size fits all" for big scissors. Grading is equivalent to having standards, which will not go too far. Under the grading system, some films that don't want to go on the show always have to struggle to find suitable reasons and excuses. Now, the situation is that if so and so want to go on the show, they can't go on the show, and the excuses are just inappropriate.

In any case, film classification is a false proposition on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and there is no need to fight for it. For example, Quentin Tarantino's films are too difficult to appear in that market. Even if they are introduced, they may be urgently informed by the big scissors to be released when they are being screened.

"City of darkness" is not shown there, and "focus" is difficult to be shown. Anyway, Murphy's Stanton studio will not do public relations, and it can't even go on. Anyway, there are few such wonderful flowers as scissors in the world film market.

Anyway, Murphy doesn't want to deal with scissors any more. Let 20th Century Fox deal with the fluctuating standards.

With the recruitment of many actors in place, "focus" is about to start shooting, Murphy is still busy, and the work at hand is more important. He left the office until 6 p.m. and went to the studio to find Gail gado, who had just finished his work. Then he joined the bodyguard and got on the car parked at the gate of the studio.

"Go home." He said to the driver.

The driver lowered the partition, started the car, left the gate of the studio and drove towards Beverly Hills. The car behind the bodyguard also followed.

Probably tired from work, Gail gado leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes without saying a word. Murphy held one of her hands and closed her eyes.

The partition board suddenly came down, and the voice of the bodyguard sitting on the copilot sounded, "Sir, there's a car following us in the back."
