It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 910: A modern version of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian? LeTV’s unusual move…

On the morning of the 19th, 9 days after the release of "Ben-Hur".

The film's daily box office has dropped to $37.

But what no one expected was that the male lead Johnny Depp would be arrested by LAPD for domestic violence!

At this time, outside the Los Angeles Police Department.

Accompanied by his lawyer and agent, Depp walked out of the police station with a gloomy face.

The moment he set foot in the outside world, he seemed to be surrounded by the eyes of the whole world. Hundreds of entertainment reporters and paparazzi flocked to him like a tide, and sharp questions whizzed in like sharp arrows.

"Depp, how many times have you beaten your wife?" The voice of an entertainment reporter was sharp and piercing, as if to penetrate Depp's psychological defenses.

Depp did not answer, but just frowned, his eyes revealing endless fatigue and helplessness.

"Excuse me, is it because of your excessive drinking and drug use that the domestic violence incident occurred?" another entertainment reporter followed up with questions and accusations in his words.

Depp took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but the anger in his heart was already rising!
"Amber has now publicly accused you of marital sexual assault. What do you think of her accusation?" Another question came like a bombshell, catching Depp off guard.

"Depp? As we all know, you are a Hollywood movie star with a notorious record. So, do you often abuse your female partners? Including your ex-wives, did they break up because of domestic violence?" an entertainment reporter shouted, with obvious provocation in his words.

Depp finally couldn't stand it anymore and loudly retorted: "I didn't commit domestic violence! Absolutely not domestic violence! I, Johnny Depp, can swear to God that I have never hit any woman in my life!"

His voice was firm and powerful, as if it could break through the heavy siege and let everyone hear his heart.

However, the entertainment reporters at the scene did not restrain themselves. Instead, they asked questions even more unscrupulously.

They don't seem to care about Depp's explanation, they just want to dig up more explosive information to satisfy the public's curiosity and earn traffic.

Seeing this, Depp became even angrier.

He walked forward, pushing the crowd away, trying to escape from this suffocating place.

But those entertainment reporters followed him closely and kept asking questions.

"I assure you all, the only person I've ever abused in my life is myself!" Depp said loudly again, with deep helplessness and despair in his voice.

He tried to move these reporters with his sincerity and make them believe that he did not commit domestic violence.

However, all this was in vain, because the entertainment reporters present said that most people on the Internet have already determined that Depp is the perpetrator of domestic violence.

His public image has long been damaged by all the negative news in the past, including drug abuse, alcoholism, being a big shot, insulting others in public, and not respecting women...

These labels are like heavy shackles that are difficult for him to get rid of!

And now, what Amber Heard has done has exposed all of his shortcomings and triggered a strong chemical reaction.

In the current situation, no one is willing to believe Depp, after all, he is a well-known "bad guy".

Isn't it normal for bad people to do bad things?
Faced with the siege of reporters and paparazzi at the scene, Depp was filled with a strong sense of powerlessness.

After realizing that it was useless to argue, he had no choice but to get into the car in silence and temporarily drive away from this place of trouble.

He could still bear it in front of the reporters, but the moment he got in the car and saw his assistant, he exploded.

He yelled angrily, "I want to see Amber! I want to see that bitch! I clearly didn't abuse her! Why did she frame me?"

The assistant and the agent rushed forward and temporarily subdued him.

The private lawyer said solemnly, "Depp, you must calm down now and deal with the next problem, because Amber has been found to have multiple injuries on her body, all of which contain your DNA information, especially on her lower body and back... The tests have confirmed that there were lacerations, which were obviously caused by your violence."

A night in the police station made Depp sober up a lot.

He quickly argued: "I did this only after asking for her consent, and she obviously enjoyed it very much."

The lawyer looked at him with a pitiful expression: "But now she has brought you to court, this is the fact."

The agent added: "She must have planned this for a long time and did it on purpose when you were not sober."

After hearing this, even if Depp was confused, he probably guessed some of the inside story.

"She...she wants to mess up my life and career? She wants to ruin me completely?" His tone was filled with disbelief.

Amber is obviously the woman he loves the most, but why would the woman he loves so much want to mess with him?
The driver who was in charge of driving was a Chinese. As he listened to the conversation between Depp and others behind him, a sentence popped up in his mind unconsciously:

"Isn't this a honey trap? Can a Hollywood star also be subject to a honey trap?"

After a moment of silence, Depp suddenly said, "I need to sit down and have a good talk with Amber. There must be some misunderstanding between us. We shouldn't have come to this point!"

"It's too late." The agent shook his head slowly, took out his phone, opened Twitter, and handed it to Depp: "When we went to bail you out, Amber had already held a press conference and accused you of multiple crimes!"

Depp lowered his eyes and looked at the screen, his anger bubbling out!

At this moment, at the press conference, Amber Heard was standing under the spotlight, her eyes were red and swollen, and the scars on her face and the red marks on her neck were clearly visible. Those were the traces left by domestic violence and also the proof of her courage to stand up.

With the silent support of her agent, Amber opened an exquisite box, inside which lay a bowling pin quietly.

This pin is an item she has "treasured" for a long time, but to her, it is not just an item, but also a witness to that dark period.

"In a private bowling alley, Johnny Depp was high and suddenly targeted me..." When Amber's voice began to tremble, but her eyes were extremely firm.

She carefully picked up the pin and gestured to the suffocating moment, as if it was replaying in front of her: "He pressed me on the sofa and caused me a huge tear injury..."

At this point, she couldn't hold back any longer and started crying with her hands covering her mouth.

Although she did not say the following words explicitly, everyone can clearly guess them through rich associations and imagination.

For a moment, the anger of the reporters present was instantly aroused, flashes of light went off one after another, and all the lenses were aimed at the bowling pin that symbolized violence.

Soon, Amber calmed down and continued, "Johnny Depp hurt me again and again, but I was very cowardly at the time and could only endure it silently because he was too strong and I couldn't escape his clutches at all."

Her words were full of fear and helplessness, but at the same time there was an attitude of giving it all.

Facing the media at the scene, she continued to reveal the harm Depp had done to her, accompanied by various photos and video evidence.

"I have made a lot of efforts to help Depp quit drugs. I once loved him deeply and wanted him to be a good person. However, Depp's distrust and violent behavior during his drug addiction caused me great mental damage..."

As she spoke, the people present began to talk; they expressed anger and condemnation of Depp's behavior, and sympathy and support for Amber's experience.

"This bastard should be sentenced to life imprisonment!"

"I never thought that a weirdo's life would also be a weirdo!"

"Poor Amber, she had to endure so many years of violence, it's just too tragic."

For a moment, as the press conference progressed, Depp's public image completely collapsed!
At the end of the press conference, Amber Heard made a solemn statement: "I want to divorce Depp. I can't stand it anymore. I want to bravely say no to his domestic violence!"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more heated.

Some female reporters even cheered loudly, celebrating the sisters' successful escape from suffering.

At this point, the press conference facing the entire United States officially ended.

Looking at the cut-off live broadcast, Depp sat in his seat in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The Chinese driver in the front row muttered to himself: "The honey trap has been successful!"

At this time, behind the scenes of the press conference, Amber Heard took out the pre-edited manuscript from her pocket as soon as she returned and confirmed whether what she had just said was complete and correct.

After a moment, she nodded with satisfaction.

I had already said what I wanted to say in the manuscript, and the next step was to file for divorce and get compensation. At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Amber took out her phone and answered it with a smile: "Ms. Megan Ellison, are you satisfied with the press conference just now?"

“Very good, I am very satisfied.”

Amber put forward her request at the right time: "I am now worried about who to find to file a divorce lawsuit for me..."

Megan Ellison liked this sense of participation very much and immediately said, "Annapurna Pictures' legal team will help you."

"Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome."

The two had just finished their call, and before Amber could put away her phone, a new call came in.

After glancing at the caller ID, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face: "My sweetheart, are you here to care about me?"

On the phone, Musk was indignant, but also had a strange emotion: "Why didn't you tell me that he actually took a bowling pin..."

"This is a dark history that I was not prepared to tell."

"So this is true?"

Amber knew Musk's special hobby, so she smiled and said, "See you at the old place tonight. I'll let you know whether it's true or not."

"Okay." Musk quickly responded, "I'll bring lubricant and bowling pins."

Adulterer + adulteress + behind-the-scenes mastermind + social opinion bias...

When all the inside stories at the press conference were exposed, Depp immediately became synonymous with "domestic violence" and was despised by countless people!

Chen Fei has been following this big news, and he even took time out to watch the press conference.

While he was shocked and questioning about the bowling pins, he was more looking forward to the subsequent quarrel between Depp and Amber.

If nothing unexpected happens, the upcoming divorce lawsuit will definitely be very interesting.

Compared with this incident, the movement in the domestic entertainment industry is nothing but a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning at all.

The studio of "Big Bowl of Wide Noodles" issued a notice yesterday, slamming the remarks of many online media and black fans as false and untrue, and said that if they continue to be spread, legal responsibility will be pursued.

With the help of the capital behind it, the incident turned around very quickly, and in just a few hours, the Big Bowl Wide Noodles camp became the victim.

Chen Fei originally thought that it was the group of people in the capital circle who were helping Da Wan Kuan Noodles deal with this trouble. After all, that princess was very close to Da Wan Kuan Noodles, and this was also a well-known fact.

But what he never expected was that Chen Long actually got involved!

At a press conference last night, Chen Long officially announced that Yaolai Pictures had signed Da Wan Kuan Noodles.

As soon as this news came out, the entire domestic entertainment industry was completely enlightened!

No wonder Da Wan Kuan Noodles was able to escape unscathed and unaffected despite having all the evidence. It turned out that it had the support of Capital Circle and Yao Lai Pictures behind it!
From an objective point of view, the private lives of Big Brother and Big Bowl of Wide Noodles seem to be not much different. No wonder he could say at the signing conference, "Ignore the negative news, even if some of it is true, but everyone has the right to control their own body."

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly felt that his decision to leave the mainland in June was absolutely the right one!

Otherwise, he would definitely be invited by Chen Long to attend the signing conference, and he would not be able to control whether he would turn around and leave at the scene.

By coming to Hollywood, you can avoid a lot of troubles, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to eat melons. This is a wise choice!
The only thing that made him speechless was that those guys in the capital area were so shameless.

In order to support Big Bowl of Wide Noodles, Feng Xiaogang fired at nearly a hundred media outlets on Weibo, accusing them of making trouble without reason and burying truly pure "good actors".

After the signing conference, Guan Hu posted several photos with Da Wan Kuan Mian on Weibo and published a long article to support him:

"We are reunited again, looking back at the long talk we had at the end of last year, a blank piece of paper is still the same... A young man is already standing in the wind, leaning against the railing in the flying clouds, this is all wealth... Look up and look far away, the earliest you must still be as pure as before..."

After reading the long article, Fade Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Director Guan! You are really good at licking!"

……

At home, with the arrival of night, this year's Shanghai International Film Festival officially kicked off.

On the red carpet, Wu Yifan followed closely behind Chen Long, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke and others, waving to the fans on both sides.

He was just "vindicated" yesterday and is now very popular. Every move he makes can trigger cheers and screams from fans.

Looking at this scene, the people in front were filled with joy.

"Fan Fan is so popular. With his support, the movie Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2 will definitely be a big hit during the Spring Festival next year!"

"Haha, that's right, Brother Chen Long has a really good eye. Signing Fanfan is like getting a treasure pot!"

"Director Xu is also lucky. He will soon become a director with a box office of 10 billion!"

"I'll have to do some research to see if I can get Fanfan to show up in Youth."

As they were talking, several people had already walked into the venue.

Outside, the media's attention was focused on the guest lineup that followed.

And when people saw Jiang Wen and Emperor Entertainment Group's boss Yang walking onto the red carpet together, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively!
At this moment, let alone the media, even many capital and film and television company bosses, actors and artists in the circle were all bewildered when watching this scene.

As we all know, since Emperor Entertainment Group helped Jiang Wen when filming "The Sun Also Rises" and "Let the Bullets Fly", and then Jiang Wen chose not to involve Emperor Entertainment Group in the investment when filming "One Step Away", the relationship between the two parties began to become subtle.

Almost 80 percent of people thought that the two were going to break up.

But no one would have expected that the two of them would appear together on the red carpet today, talking and laughing, as if they were at a "great reconciliation of the century"!
Many people are wondering what is going on.
Later, similar things continued to happen...

Zhang Yimou led the crew of "The Great Wall" onto the red carpet, and was accompanied by China Film Chairman La Peikang, the largest investor.

However, what puzzled many media was that Zhang Zhao, president of LeTV Pictures, who had arrived at the Shanghai International Film Festival early, was nowhere to be seen.

There were inevitably waves of discussions among the crowd:

"Why haven't I seen anyone from LeTV all day today?"

"I don't know! There has been no movement from LeTV since early morning, and the hotel seems to be deserted."

"It's really strange. They didn't even come to participate in such a good publicity opportunity?"

The discussions were quite loud and after they came together, they inevitably reached the ears of everyone on the red carpet.

Jing Tian pretended not to hear anything, because Lu Zheng had already told her to just focus on the movie and not to worry too much.

As for Liu Dehua and other actors, they are all confused at this moment, and each one is more confused than the other.

However, La Peikang's smile was a little stiff, because someone from the bureau had specifically told him last night to quickly complete the separation with LeTV and not to get too involved with it.

Zhang Yimou was not an insider, but he could clearly sense that something must have gone wrong at LeTV.

Although he had no evidence, his sixth sense was still very strong.

When Zhang Zhao chose to leave without saying goodbye last night, he inexplicably had the same feeling as when he was "backstabbed" by New Picture and Zhang Weiping.

However, since everything at LeEco headquarters was normal, he had no idea what had happened in the company that caused all the executives of LeEco Pictures to abandon all matters related to the Shanghai International Film Festival and rush back to the capital overnight.
