Chapter 291 The third party?
This charity party, due to successive invitations from Madonna, Xia Shang, Julia Roberts and others, as well as its appeal, attracted many celebrities, including famous actors, directors, and There is a lack of well-known singers and ladies from all walks of life.
Of course, even this banquet, which can be considered a grand ceremony, cannot avoid the presence of reporters.
It has to be said that every celebrity gathering is an occasion for competition, but it is just an ordinary charity donation event. At this party, the people who came to the scene were only cash donations. It has exceeded 10 million US dollars.
And this number does not include those donated items that can be converted into funds!
With such a result, not only Angelina Jolie and several other founders of the Dawn Foundation were very surprised, but even Xia Shang could not help but sigh that there are so many rich people in Hollywood.
However, this can be regarded as making Xia Shang understand why, as a well-known public figure, he still has not enough money to spend. After one year, luxury houses, image, social donations to gain fame, etc., every time Not all projects cost a huge amount of money.
Let¡¯s talk about the most basic aspects. In terms of the selection of clothes, many gifts basically disappear in the closet after being worn once. The appearance of various jewelry, the design of the issue, the shape of the body and the skin. Maintenance, maintenance, etc., just for food, clothing, housing and transportation, the annual consumption is estimated to be hundreds of thousands or even millions!
As a famous actor, he works tirelessly to take over several scenes a year. Is it just for his own acting dream?
As an artist, behind the scenery, there may be a lot of helplessness!
¡°The longer Xia Shang works as a director, the deeper his understanding of actors, singers, and other public figures becomes. At the same time, he also feels that in this era, nothing is easy.
All right! Talking about these things now is indeed a bit off topic. Regarding this charity party, the news media still pays relatively high attention to it.
In Hollywood, many actors and directors have established various charities and foundations. Charity parties and charity events like this are held more than once a year. This time, it still made a lot of news The media all expressed their opinions.
Among them, the New York Times published its own commentator's article under the title "Fame, Fortune and Charity." The article pointed out: "This is a group of wealthy people, but their desire for fame exceeds their desire for profit. Maybe they see that being famous equals profit. Maybe not many of them are really keen on charity, and their approach is just for show, but we must admit that they have indeed promoted charity. career development."
To be honest, the analysis of the "New York Times" is definitely relatively accurate. After its commentator's article was published in the current newspaper, many professional scholars and people could not help but nod.
However, the report of the New York Times has undoubtedly offended a large number of actors, directors, singers and other members of the public. Although the newspaper has affirmed the actions of these people and their views are correct, these things cannot be revealed. It will be better than breaking.
I have donated a lot of money, but it is indeed said that it is just a show, how do you let the donors make a difference? . . After seeing the report in the New York Times, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows!
At the same time, famous newspapers and magazines such as "The Washington Post" and "Vanity Fair" also commented on this charity party, making comments such as "the charity industry of a group of celebrities" and "the appeal of Hollywood people is amazing". .
It was a report by the "Hollywood Reporter" that aroused everyone's concern. The article pointed out: "Hollywood's golden boys and girls are having troubles in public. Both men and women are playing the divorce card, and the talented director plays the third role in it."
This report not only explained in detail the conflicts between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the golden couple in Hollywood, but also put the spotlight on Xia Shang. The article pointed out that the two The main reason why people get divorced is because of the existence of a third party, a talented director.
Since ancient times, actors have been ruthless and bitches have no sense of justice. In this entertainment industry, when two star actors get married, it is difficult to say that they have deep feelings for each other. In many cases, the marriage between the two is nothing more than borrowing each other's reputation. Just increase exposure.
For this kind of relationship between husband and wife, which is almost exploitative, once the interest in each other is lost?It's time to say goodbye.
But regardless of whether there is a real relationship between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the two have been the golden couple in the eyes of the media for several years, although they often have conflicts. , but it¡¯s not serious, and it¡¯s not even to the point of divorce!
Of course, these words are just the official words of the media!
Anyway, this time, it seemed that Tom Cruise was completely angry. In his own words, he explained that he would never allow his woman to go to bed with another man. In fact, this is the case every time. No man would allow it.
The two people were having such a quarrel and were photographed by the media present. After it was reported and hyped, the entire media suddenly went crazy.
"The talented director intervened in the relationship between Hollywood's golden couple and his wife, and his domineering spirit was undoubtedly evident. He was a blond beauty with a strong government." "Xia Shang is young and handsome, better than the mature old man Tom Cruise, and Nicole Kidman likes it." "Eating young grass" "The craziest third party, the talented director has countless beautiful actresses around him, and he also has a wife." "The Hollywood director smiled proudly, and the old man Tom Cruise felt sad." ""
¡°After these scandal reports were reproduced by many media and front-page headlines, in just two days, it became known to everyone that the genius director Xia Shang had intervened in other people¡¯s couples and became the third party.
¡°For a time, countless couples across the United States couldn¡¯t help but feel in danger, and many mature women and ladies extended an olive branch to this talented director.
In the first major scandal in 1998, no one expected that it would be like this. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the golden couple, were about to go their separate ways. The talented Hollywood director , the prince in the hearts of countless girls and ladies, transformed into a despicable third party in one night.
For a moment, everyone went crazy. The American Women's League asked the young director to make a guarantee not to destroy other people's marriages at will. Countless husbands scolded the young director for being reckless, despicable, and seducing other people's wives. The same Countless young girls, mature women, and ladies criticized the news media, saying that they were unprofessional and slandered the image of their idols.
This moment was completely shocking. No one thought that things would reach this level. Even Xia Shang, who was sitting and watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, could not help but feel a burst of anger at this moment.
What these reporters said is so poisonous that it makes people feel sick!
"These damn reporters are so abominable. This is simply hooliganism and slander." Jessica Alba said angrily in a luxurious villa in Beverly Hills. Regarding Xia Shang's matter, she asked herself I still understand that usually some scandals are just that, false and true, true and false, and people have no way to refute or clarify.
But now, this is definitely considered slander. The "third party", "lover" and "destroying other people's families" are all labeled as such. Not to mention the person involved, even she, a bystander, can't stand it.
"Today's reporters are becoming less and less professional. They must apologize for this matter." Sophie Marceau also frowned. She has naturally experienced the nonsense of these entertainment reporters. It is precisely because of this that she is extremely disgusted with reporters.
"However, this matter is also his fault. It's not good to provoke anyone, but he chose to provoke him." Before Xia Shang could speak, Angelina Jolie couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Regarding her man's virtue, she Naturally, this 'original wife' knew everything about her. If there was no resentment, it would be impossible. But then again, if you get used to it, it would become natural.
"What a pity, I didn't provoke her." Hearing this, Xia Shang couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice. In fact, he really had no relationship with this person. , and then he was discovered by reporters and made a big fuss about it, but he didn't say much.
After all, he was really not good at what he had done. He was so shameless that he just pretended that something was true.
But the question now is, he really has no relationship with this person. Do they understand each other?
the answer is negative!
Did the two of them have any actual contact? Have you ever had a relationship? Have you had any in-depth communication?
The answer is no!
Precisely because of this, a shit basin was suddenly placed on his head, which made him angry even if he didn't want to.
"Since you have nothing to do with the other party, please clarify this matter to the media!" She frowned, and Angelina Jolie couldn't help but stretch her body, half-transparentUnder the bright gauze skirt, the looming breasts and charming figure were immediately revealed.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Xia Shang nodded, looking at the tall and straight figure of the other party with fiery eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a ball of fire rising in his lower abdomen.
His behavior was naturally noticed by several women. Looking at their man's 'poor stupidity', several women also rolled their eyes at him.
As the center of the storm, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Xia Shang are naturally the objects of much media attention, and the golden couple of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman , were fighting fiercely at the moment, and naturally ignored the reporters.
And in this way, as a third party in the eyes of the media, Xia Shang's attitude and actions are worthy of attention.
When Xia Shang appeared in the eyes of the media, the reporters who smelled the fishy smell appeared next to Xia Shang like a strong wind. The flash-like cameras on the stage were aimed at Xia Shang, and the sound of the button keys also made a crackling sound. ring.
"Mr. Director, regarding the recent media comments, you are the third party between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. It is precisely because of your joining that the relationship between the two has cracks. This Is this thing true?"
At this moment, a reporter's shot suddenly ignited the atmosphere at the scene. It can be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves, like a sudden storm.
Hearing the reporter's words, Xia Shang's face also turned cold: "I don't know who is so boring and involves me and the couple together, but I can tell you clearly that these are Everything that is false is slander Did the golden boy and girl that everyone talks about have conflicts only today? Is it possible that tens of millions of couples in the United States, when every family has conflicts, accuse me of being the third party? Or, if this is really the case, then wouldn¡¯t I be the big Satan in everyone¡¯s minds!¡±
"I can't bear such a heavy accusation" Xia Shang looked around with a touch of sarcasm on his face.
"Ha ha!"
Xia Shang's words suddenly caused a burst of laughter from the reporters around him. However, although his words were very interesting, they did not mean that these reporters would let him go.
"What evidence do you have to prove that you are not a third party who intervened?" At this moment, a reporter who was afraid of chaos in the world couldn't help but ask.
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that I am the third party?" Xia Shang laughed angrily: "In China, we are very particular about catching thieves and stolen goods, and catching women and cheating couples. Have you ever seen Nicole and me?" Ms. Kidman, have you ever been intimate?"
"Not to mention those photos of going to bed, kissing, and hugging, even if you take photos of me holding hands with each other, or even private photos, I can admit these things In fact, Nicole Kidd and I Ms. Man, we only met twice, once at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony and once at the charity party the day before yesterday. We didn¡¯t spend more than five minutes together and spoke no more than 20 sentences. Even if it is described as love at first sight, I¡¯m afraid it would be inappropriate for us too!¡±
"Returning to a third party and ruining other people's families I really don't know, can you still think of some ugly words to describe it? Of course, I know that in the United States and in our Hollywood, there is never a shortage of those who are imaginative and unrestrained. People with imagination, but at this moment, I have to admit that they have successfully directed a lie drama, because he has successfully aroused the attention of you, the fans, and me"
In fact, there are still many media reporters who do not believe the stories that some media initially told about the third party and the love-stealing incident.
As the author said, the eyes of the public are sharp. There has never been any evidence that there is any close relationship between the talented director Xia Shang and the blonde beauty Nicole Kidman. The beginning of the turmoil was also It started with an angry word from Tom Cruise himself.
The reason why the current situation has arisen is undoubtedly because of the reporters¡¯ efforts, massive hype, and unbridled imagination, which ultimately led to the current situation.
The very next day, these questions and answers between Xia Shang and reporters were basically reproduced in the original text by major media. Of course, it was obviously impossible for him to explain all the turmoil with just his words. It's going to go away, but at least he has changed his attitude.
In the following period, the quarrel between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the former golden couple, became more and more serious. Today you are mocking him and that girl. The actor went on a date, and tomorrow he teased the other actor about which actor he should go to bed with.
It was also until this momentAt this time, the eyes of reporters and the public turned away from Xia Shang.
In the end, after nearly half a month of quarreling with each other, the couple finally signed their names on the divorce agreement more than a year earlier than in history, thus making the couple maintain their relationship. The model couple who had been together for eight years began to divide their lives.
At this point, the wheel of history turned a corner again because of the arrival of Xia and Shang.
Except for paying attention to the couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman for a while, Xia Shang forgot about marriage and divorce in the entertainment and film circles. There are really too many, so many are dazzling, and in the end, naturally they become uninteresting.
During this period of time, some big things have happened at Baofeng Film Company. The first is the screening of "Titanic", starting from January 16th, the fifth, sixth and seventh weeks. , in three weeks, the film achieved results of US$42.63 million, US$32.83 million, and US$32.13 million respectively, making this film's bid to top the North American box office rankings increase to seven weeks.
As a result, many media began to speculate and discuss whether "Titanic" will stay in the number one position and how long it can stay, which has become a topic of concern to many media.
The second thing is the promotion of "Dirty Dancing," a musical film rated PG-13. The final release date of the film is set before the Academy Awards ceremony. In one week, however, the effectiveness of this publicity campaign was reduced because "Titanic" was too strong and was affected by the divorce of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Not very ideal.
The third thing is about the preparations for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". After a period of hard work, the first person to gather the manpower will be Xia Shang. "Pirates of the Caribbean", which he directed personally, will start filming at the end of February, while "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is still looking for actors.
In addition, there is another thing in Hollywood that no one can ignore, that is, the 55th American Golden Globe Awards. Just a few days after the award ceremony, the nominations for the 70th Academy Awards were announced. The list is finally out. . .
