America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 557 Shocking
It was almost noon when the takeaway Thomas ordered was delivered to Martin's office. After the delivery man left, Martin refreshed the TMZ page again and saw the news he had been waiting for.

Louise said, “Yes.”

Everyone put down what they were doing and turned their eyes to the projection screen.

The headline on TMZ's front page is extremely eye-catching.

"Sexual Predator Harvey Weinstein: The Horrifying Rise of God in the Movie Industry!"

In order to create a shocking effect, Jody directly pushed Harvey to the position of God in the film industry.

The higher you praise it, the more shocking it is.

Martin clicked on the video, but to him the content was far less attractive than the title, because he knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

The video began to play, and the first thing that appeared was the video and audio secretly recorded by San Diego resident Anna Frank, in which Harvey Weinstein's figure and voice were clearly identifiable.

This was followed by video interviews with three consecutive victims, during which they also presented photos taken and signed contracts when they worked with Harvey.

These people described in detail how they were forced by Harvey, and all of the things happened in Harvey's long-term room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Louise saw this for the first time and couldn't help but say, "With Harvey's power, it would be easy for him to get a woman, but he chose the most uncivilized way."

Martin continued: "People always have special quirks, such as Leo's loyalty."

Louise laughed, "And you."

There were so many people, she joked and got back to the point: "There are so many victims, and there will be more than one or two who secretly recorded the video and audio. If public opinion really rises, they may come forward."

Martin said: "Jody has blown the whistle, it's time to support her and not let her fight alone."

Bruce picked up the conference phone, called Emily and Jessica at the same time, and said, "You guys get started."

At the same time, the other side responded: "Do it immediately."

Bruce took out an old Nokia phone and dialed Ivan's number: "Next."

"Understood." Ivan replied in the briefest possible way.

At the same time, Louise walked to the window, dialed the number on her cell phone, and called Kelly Gray, who was accompanying Senator Erica in Washington.

The person on the other end was prepared and just said "I understand" and hung up the phone.

Martin called Daniel, a Warner Bros. executive, and said, "Hey, man, there's news about your arch-enemy on the Internet."

"Arm enemy?" Daniel was confused at first, but then he realized, "You mean that damn Harvey!"

He was the distribution producer of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and, like Barry Meyer and Alan Horn, was criticized over and over again by Harvey Weinstein.

Martin said: "Look at the top story on the TMZ front page and you'll find a surprise."

Daniel was in his office. He immediately opened his computer browser and logged into TMZ. The news headline at the top of the homepage was eye-catching enough.

“I’ll enjoy it,” he said.

Martin hung up the phone.

Daniel watched the video carefully and shook his head as he watched it. There have always been rumors about Harvey in the circle, and some people have even called the police, but due to reasons such as evidence and money, nothing happened in the end.

Unexpectedly, this guy became more and more aggressive. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even bolder.

Come to think of it, after doing something shameful and solving it easily, this person will definitely not stop there. Instead, he will continue to do it crazily because there is no punishment.

Over and over again, until it's out of control.

Daniel left the office and went upstairs to find Barry Meyer.

When Barry Meyer read the news, he thought for a moment: "Someone is going to deal with that bastard Harvey!"

Daniel didn't say much, just responded: "Obviously."

"I also want Harvey to be finished. He still holds on to the copyright of The Hobbit and the subsequent copyright share of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which makes people disgusted." Barry Meyer did not act rashly: "Wait and see the situation. Either we do not move, or we must make sure that bastard can never stand up again."

Daniel agreed: "Peter Jackson proposed a new trilogy. His appetite is too big. We can't make concessions."

Barry Meyer nodded: "This may be an opportunity to resolve the copyright issue once and for all."

In a slightly old office in New York, several people wearing Bluetooth headsets are busy working in front of their computers.

At a nearby computer, Emily shouted out orders: "Upload all the websites according to the determined division of labor, now, immediately!"

When those people heard her voice, they quickly got busy, skillfully entering the backend of some popular forums or movie websites, unsealing the sealed information they had prepared in advance, and releasing it.

One of them even posted the video of Harvey forcing himself, which was secretly filmed by Anna Frank, on YouTube.

Emily also has some subordinates who are responsible for increasing the popularity of the video.

They had used these too many times in movie promotion and marketing and were familiar with YouTube's rules. It didn't take long for the video to be listed on the social hot news list and appear in a prominent position on the YouTube homepage.

YouTube is now the largest video website in North America, with a huge number of users and the largest number of people online at the same time. As soon as the video was listed, it was clicked by countless people and its popularity soared. In a temporary office in London.

Jessica urged her talents who were proficient in French, German, Spanish, Italian and other foreign languages: "Hurry up, upload all the relevant videos to the most popular forums, video and news websites in European countries, and proceed as planned!"

The six or seven people present took out their file bags, unsealed them, connected the storage disks to their computers,

Just like Emily, although she knew that she was doing something very important, she didn't know who it was targeting.

It was only then that I saw the name Harvey Weinstein.

The compensation offered by the studio was high enough, and they signed a confidentiality agreement. These people had doubts in their minds, but they did not ask any further questions. According to Jessica's deployment during the meeting, they posted the relevant video materials and press releases on the websites they were responsible for.

The next step was the familiar process of increasing popularity, which was not difficult at all for Emily's group.

In a short period of time, the video and news of Harvey's invasion topped the hot news charts in both Europe and the United States.

Meanwhile, in an older neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles.

In the shabby rental house, Ivan hung up the phone with Bruce and opened the email page, where the email was already prepared to be sent.

He checked it again and chose to send it to all.

The email contained some important videos and pictures that were specially edited by Jody, which was different from the news reported by TMZ.

All of them clearly prove that Harvey was involved in crimes such as coercion.

After sending out the first batch, Ivan moved quickly to send out the second batch, and then the third batch.

It didn't take long before he sent five emails.

The recipients were all email addresses from hundreds of European and American media outlets that Ivan had carefully collected.

Freelance paparazzi like Ivan have phone numbers and news delivery mailboxes for contacting many media outlets.

Unlike email accounts for ordinary people, the owners of these accounts will check them frequently and even set up special reminder functions in order to get the most valuable news in a timely manner from a large number of paparazzi.

Ivan sent hundreds of group emails, turned off his laptop, disassembled it into different parts, carefully cleaned the room he rented under a false identity, and walked out the door with his only bag on his back.

The community was large and old, with many scavengers, who smashed the parts and threw them into different trash bins.

Ivan put on the hood of his sportswear, went to the neighboring community, got into a junked car, and left.

Halfway through the journey, he also abandoned the car.

Hillary Clinton's office in Washington, DC.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in to remind her, “Ms.

Xilali, who was resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and asked, "Is it time?"

"Yes." The assistant said softly, "You should change your clothes and go to Senator Erica's private party."

Hillary changed into some more casual clothes, asked her assistant to call a car, and left the office with her assistant and special guards, heading to a club on the east side of Washington.

Recently, Senator Erica from Georgia has been very active within the Democratic Party, and the plan she proposed to protect the rights of women in the workplace has attracted much attention.

Hillary Clinton is also very interested in this. Female support is her base, and the position in the Oval Office is also her future goal.

Erica and Hillary had a chat about women's rights. There were some differences between the two sides, but the general direction was consistent.

Soon, Xilali came to the club and met Erica.

The two had a very lively discussion about their respective views and advocacy of women's rights, as well as the women's rights movement that is currently booming.

Erica specifically mentioned the #MeToo movement.

"I have looked at the information about Meitu and it seems that they have three opinion leaders, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Meryl Streep. Because of their relationship with Hollywood, they are very popular," said Xilali.

Some time ago, when Erica came to Los Angeles, Martin introduced Jolie and Aniston to Erica, and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Erica said: "Hollywood's publicity is very powerful. If used well, it will be a great help to our business."

Xilali also has influence in Hollywood. When she competed with Guanhai for the candidate last year, she also attracted many Hollywood stars to help her. She said: "This propaganda position is indeed very important."

Erica added: "The women's movement in Hollywood is booming and has become increasingly vocal in recent years. The MeToo movement in particular has become a force that cannot be ignored. I'll introduce Jolie and Aniston to you if I have the chance."

Xilali smiled and said, "I know them, but I'm not very familiar with them."

Erica found an opportunity and introduced Kelly Gray.

The topic and advocacy of women's rights has long become mainstream. The three of them discussed it behind closed doors, probably because they are all women, and this aspect is particularly speculative.

Hillary is also trying to win over Erica to prepare for the future.
