I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 336: Holy Mother Scarlett (6000, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!)
New Port, Pak Hoi Street, Yau Ma Tei, 4:30 in the morning.

"Hey, Scarlett, you have to understand that Paramount and DreamWorks spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this movie, and they gave you 10 million, not to let you mess up the movie!"

Michael Costigan, wearing a blue denim shirt and a pair of black-framed glasses, gritted his teeth patiently yet impatiently and stared into Scarlett Johansson's eyes.

He was the on-set executive producer for Ghost in the Shell , coordinating on-set filming and budget management on behalf of DreamWorks and Paramount.

Scarlett Johansson frowned and said, "Michael, my part is only short of the reshoots in Newport these days. I didn't slow down the crew's efficiency. I think I'm dedicated enough. I don't understand what you are talking about."

This time she came to Newport to shoot some exterior scenes for Ghost in the Shell. After shooting this part of the exterior scenes, the film is basically finished, with only post-production left.

A good thing is that since this film is in cyberpunk style, most of the exterior scenes are night scenes, so most of the shots in New Port were shot in the middle of the night, so there is little need to adjust to the time difference.

In between the filming, I was able to attend two weeks of promotional activities for P9 in Xingang and Pengcheng.

She is the global spokesperson for Zhou Wei P9. She has never made a special trip to participate in Zhou Wei P9's promotional activities in Da Zhou before. This time she is in Xingang, and it would be unreasonable for her not to participate.

Michael Costigan punched the steel shutter door of the shop next door, making a loud bang.

"Don't be stupid, Scarlett! We both know I'm talking about your interview with Jimmy Kimmel on The Chick-fil-A Show a week ago!"

"Why did you suddenly say those anti-fur remarks at the Chicken Show? Do you know how much trouble this will cause? Damn it, are you crazy?"

Scarlett Johansson blinked and thought to herself, as expected.

Last week, she, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. were on Jimmy Kimmel Live, promoting MET 3, which was postponed from early May to June due to the MET heist.

The Chick-fil-A show is ABC's flagship late-night talk show, and ABC is Disney's most important asset, so of course it has to promote its own movies.

In the interview, Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that Black Widow has an unknown percentage of Rakshasa bloodline, and then turned the topic to her Jude bloodline.

Unexpectedly, Black Widow denied her Jude bloodline on the show.

Black Widow said to Jimmy Kimmel at the time: "Actually, Jimmy, this is very strange. You know, I am half Viking, a quarter of Borian, and one-eighth of Rakshas. The Jude bloodline you mentioned comes from my grandmother."

"But my grandmother never even considered herself a Judean. She didn't even know what day Hanukkah was, and she had never been to a Jude temple."

"My grandmother said that her mother wasn't a Jude either. Her father might be, or might not be, I'm not sure. She considers herself a Bolian."

"All I know is that her father may have some Jude bloodline. And her mother is an orthodox Rakshasa."

"According to the Judean principle of matrilineal inheritance, my grandmother cannot be considered a Judean. She has indeed never admitted that she is a Judean, and she does not have Judean beliefs and living customs."

"Growing up, no one ever said to me, 'Hey, Scarlett, you're a Jude,' and I never heard my family speak Yiddish or Hippo."

"So it would be absurd and dishonest for me to think that I had any racial and cultural affiliation with Jude and Judean culture."

"I consider myself more of a Maiman of Viking descent than a Judean."

"I have great sympathy for the sufferings that the Jude people have endured in the past. My grandmother once heard that one of her distant uncles might have been a victim of a concentration camp. I was also very sad when she mentioned this."

"I am willing to stand with them, oppose discrimination and violence, and condemn the persecution of Judeans by Naz, but I am not a Judean, and I do not want to use my Jude identity to gain recognition and sympathy."

Jimmy Kimmel was stunned when he heard Scarlett Johansson say this and said "wow" several times.

Chris Evans was even more uncomfortable. He winked at Scarlett several times, but still failed to stop her. He could only laugh helplessly.

Next to him is Robert Downey Jr., who is also trying to claim to be a Judean (his father has Judean blood, but his mother does not), and his face is as gloomy as a villain.

You know, in Hollywood, even if they are not orthodox Judeans inherited from the matrilineal line, they will claim to be Judeans.

There are even some people whose three generations back have been of other faiths, but after entering Hollywood, they suddenly declare that they have found their Jude faith again and identify themselves as Judeans.

It’s because the Jude people have now completely taken over Hollywood!
The identity of a Judean is so popular! You can get far more opportunities than others!
Not to mention others, just talk about Scarlett herself. After her daughter was born, she talked a lot about her Jude bloodline in a talk show.

He also said, "Recognizing who you are often means accepting the part that you have ignored."

Although you have never publicly admitted that you identify with the Jude people, who doesn't know that it is because you feel guilty about your Jude ancestry that is not related to you at all?
If you weren't guilty, you would have publicly declared yourself a Judean!
It is a common tactic of these celebrities in the entertainment industry to first release the fact that they have Judean ancestry to test the reaction of the crowd. If the Judean community does not object, they will then publicly declare their Judean identity.

How come there is a reverse operation?
Besides, how did you get so many resources? Don’t you have any idea?

Whether it's Woody Allen or Arad of Marvel Studios, didn't they promote you because you claimed that you had Jude's bloodline?
Even the role of Black Widow that made you famous, wasn't it you who squeezed out Emily Blunt by claiming that she had Jude's bloodline?
Don’t you recognize the big iron spoon when you are full?

Besides, what good would it do you to deny Jude's bloodline?

Jimmy Kimmel, known as "the biggest bad guy on television," immediately realized Scarlett's implicit intention to break away from "them."

Although he didn't know why, he didn't mind using this incident to make his show more discussed.

Therefore, the interview with Jimmy Kimmel that afternoon was not edited for a minute and was directly put into the 11: p.m. show.

As a result, the next day, the topic "Scarjo denies being a Judean" was on the trending list of social media such as Twitter and FB.

Clips of her interview were flying everywhere.

Although her words did not mean any hostility towards the people of Jude, she was still severely criticized by the people of Jude and other viewers, who said that she was blatantly anti-Jude.

As the incident fermented, many senior executives of Marvel Studios and Disney began to pay attention to this matter. The senior executives of Jude didn't say anything, but many of the lackeys below reacted strongly.

Some of the more radical ones even suggested changing the role of "Natasha Romanoff" in the future Avengers 3 and 4.

Among the Avengers actors, Chris Evans was very considerate. He explained that Scarlett was just overreacting to the criticism of her for wanting to profit from Jude's identity, and hoped that the public would not over-interpret it.

Other actors, directors and screenwriters of Avengers expressed their dissatisfaction with Scarlett's remarks to varying degrees.

But most of what they said was ambiguous, for example: the specific situation is not clear, and Scarlett has not been contacted directly, but these remarks are indeed hurtful, blah blah blah, I believe Scarlett's mistake was unintentional, and she should stand up and take responsibility blah blah.

Only Robert Downey Jr. turned his face black during the interview and said bluntly that he did not want to work with Scarlett Johansson in the future.

Even her agency, CAA, and her agent and CAA president Brian Lauder, could not stop Jude’s people from criticizing and being sarcastic about Scarlett.

Moreover, Brian Lord himself has Qi because he is also a Jude.

He couldn't understand why Scarlett said that.

If he had not invested too many resources in this woman before and did not want to throw away this cash cow, he would have terminated the contract with this woman immediately!
Scarlett Johansson is currently filming the live-action Ghost in the Shell movie, which is also a Jude-themed film from Paramount and DreamWorks.

"Scarlett, I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't want to know."

"All I know is that due to the negative public opinion, Paramount and DreamWorks are now suspending their support and promotion of Ghost in the Shell. Katzenberg just swore for three minutes on the phone!"

"Now, you need to issue a statement immediately and retract your previous remarks! Say that this is because you were too immersed in the filming of Ghost in the Shell and developed a false sense of identity!"

"Damn it! Is there shit in your head? How can you say such a thing?"

It’s true that Michael Costigan is quite quick-witted. One of the core plots of Ghost in the Shell is “identity recognition”.

Using this as an excuse can, on the one hand, defuse the crisis as much as possible, and on the other hand, promote the movie.

Scarlett Johansson was so immersed in the filming of Ghost in the Shell that she misplaced her own identity!

What a great topic for hype!
Scarlett frowned in disgust when she heard what Michael Costigan said.

You just got shit in your head!
What do you people know?
I am now a person who has slept with God.

From now on, when you idiots call me, you may have to add the word "saint" in front of it.

"I just stated some facts that are clear to everyone, Michael. I don't think I did anything wrong, and I won't take back what I said a week ago."

"I have to get ready for my next scene. Please move aside, Michael."

Scarlett adjusted the side bangs of the black wig on her head, raised her eyebrows, reached out to push away Michael Costigan's arm blocking her, and walked towards the set.

"Come back!" Michael Costigan was furious. Although Scarlett is now an international superstar, as a live producer commissioned by both Paramount and DreamWorks, he is undoubtedly the most powerful person on the set.

Seeing that Scarlett completely ignored him, Michael Costigan became furious and reached out to grab Scarlett's shoulder.

Scarlett is not tall, only 1.58 meters tall. Not to mention in the West, even in the East, she is not considered tall.

Michael Costigan stretched out his hand and grabbed Scarlett's shoulder. Scarlett, who had just finished combat training, subconsciously lowered her shoulders and pushed her elbow back, directly hitting Michael's diaphragm.

When you get elbowed in this area, the first thing that happens is pain, because there are a lot of nerve endings concentrated here; the second thing is that your breathing will be restricted. The diaphragm is an important muscle that controls breathing, and when it is hit by gravity, it will cause sudden spasm, restricting the expansion of the lungs and causing temporary suffocation.

Michael Costigan opened his mouth and before he could even utter the word "ah" he bent over involuntarily.

Scarlett took advantage of the situation and grabbed Michael Costigan's arm, pulled him forward, and threw him over her shoulder. Michael Costigan was 1.85 meters tall and weighed over 150 kilograms.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap."

Newport is a city that never sleeps. This scene was shot on location. Although it was already early in the morning, there were many Newport people watching the excitement outside the cordon set up on the set. Scarlett Johansson, the heroine, was naturally the focus of attention.

Although the crowd couldn't hear what the two were saying, it seemed that they were not on the same page. The man wanted to grab Scarlett's shoulders, but unexpectedly, the man who seemed to have the final say on the set was thrown out by Scarlett with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Holy shit! I didn't expect that Black Widow has real kung fu skills!

It's not a wire hang, it's a real fall!

The man looked big enough to fit her, yet she threw him out so easily!

And she looks so sexy in real life! She looks like she is glowing! She doesn't look like a 30-something at all.

The onlookers applauded enthusiastically, many of them were filming with their mobile phones, and some had already started editing the videos and preparing to post them on social media.

Scarlett looked at her hands in confusion.

When did I become so strong?
Wait, it seems like doing strength training and combat training is really easy these days, and I have a lot more energy.

Then think about the series of changes that have taken place in yourself, like a rejuvenation.

I see! This is the power of God!

I said, sleeping with the gods, no, serving the gods, how can there be no benefits! ?

Scarlett's eyes lit up.

Seeing Michael Costigan lying on the water-soaked ground, holding his chest and gasping for breath, Scarlett hesitated, not knowing whether she should reach out and pull Michael Costigan up.

Nothing will happen, right?
However, you actually dared to attack Saint Scarlett, you deserve what happened!
Eh? Why haven't the staff come yet? What are they arguing about over there?

Scarlett frowned and shouted, and the staff on the set then noticed the situation on their side. Two photography assistants hurried over and helped Michael Costigan up while continuing to discuss.

"This holographic image cannot possibly exist. It must be a special effect!"

"Millions of people are watching it right now, and there are live broadcasts on CNN and Facebook. How can it be a special effect? ​​It should be some kind of holographic technology that is still in the laboratory stage. Hey, Scarlett, what's going on?"

Well, it seems that you are worse than those new Hong Kong people who are just watching the excitement, and you don’t see what’s happening here at all, right?
"Michael and I just had a small misunderstanding and accidentally injured him. What are you talking about? Aren't the lighting and props for the next scene ready yet? Didn't the director say that we can start shooting in ten minutes?"

Scarlett looked at the sky. It would be dawn in a few dozen minutes. If she didn't take the photo now, this shot might have to be left until tomorrow.

"Maybe I won't shoot again today? We are all paying attention to the strange events in the sky above the UN. I don't know who this ASF is. It's amazing. They actually made such a big noise in the sky above the UN. The National Guard was dispatched. I asked my friends in New York, and they could see it in Brooklyn."

"But those revelations are really shocking. 71 children and more than victims. Look at Twitter, the ASF released the complete guest list of Alcatraz, there are more than people."

A photography assistant shook his head in amazement.

ASF? Over the UN? What the hell?

She had just been studying the script and memorizing her lines, and she was wearing a tight rubber jacket. She didn't even have her cell phone in her hand and had no idea of ​​this shocking change.

Looking at the two silly photography assistants, Scarlett shook her head and went to ask the executive director and chief director on the scene. After confirming that it might not be possible to shoot today, she returned to her nanny car and asked the makeup artist to remove her makeup and latex clothes.

Then she took a shower in the bathroom of the RV and dried her hair. Then Scarlett wrapped herself in a bath towel and started browsing on her phone.

She has not verified any social media, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a private account on Twitter or Facebook.

As soon as she opened FB, she saw the live streaming provided by FB.

Oh my god, there really are eight light curtains above the UN.

The four large light curtains spanned four blocks! They were almost at her doorstep! How big were they?

On the live broadcast screen, a man wearing a V for Vendetta mask was speaking slowly on the screen.

"I said I don't need NYPD and UN to enforce justice..."

Huh? This sound...

Although the voice was changed with an electronic voice changer, Scarlett still felt that it sounded somewhat familiar.

Is it...

Scarlett suppressed her doubts and began to review the cause and effect of the incident from the beginning.

After reading the previous synopsis, Scarlett had made a judgment in her heart.

It's him! It must be him!
Scarlett's heart was pounding.

Is he going to impose sanctions on the Jude people?

I didn’t expect Ali Emmanuel to be this kind of person!
"They" are indeed a bunch of crazy people.

Fortunately, I had cut ties with "them" a week ago.

No, no, no, as God, he must have known that I had made the cut before he started to punish "them".

After giving birth to my daughter, Brian recommended erythroids to me. Fortunately, I hesitated at that time and did not dare to take this thing of unknown origin.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he have been sanctioned now?

I have also been sanctioned? Pah! That is clearly God’s favor.

If...if I could give God a child...

Wouldn't that mean I would become the Virgin Mary?

It is difficult for people who grew up in an atheist or pantheistic culture to understand what kind of feelings and beliefs people who grew up in the Western environment with a strong monotheistic atmosphere have towards the so-called God.

Scarlett watched the live broadcast until dawn. When the crew finished work and returned to the hotel, Scarlett was still constantly checking her phone.

"Their" power in Mai Country is finished.

Except for some arrogant Judeans who are still confused and clamoring to take the most severe revenge on ASF and completely kill ASF economically, legally and through public opinion.

Almost all Mai people and foreigners who have known about this have reached this understanding.

The human psychology is very strange. In just two or three hours, whether online or in real life, those who originally did not dare to criticize "them" had their fear of "them" largely disappeared.

And when someone fiercely criticized "them" and was not affected by public opinion, but instead gained a lot of recognition, even the non-Jude people in the crew began to criticize "them" unscrupulously in front of "them".

Even the area of ​​criticism is no longer limited to the Alcatraz Island revealed by the ASF, but has begun to involve "their" hegemony in Hollywood and the media.

You know, these things are things that everyone has known for the past decade or so, but no one in the industry dares to touch on.

But now, these real insiders are talking about how "they" control Hollywood to achieve their own evil purposes.

It was as if these people had all gained enlightenment in these two or three hours.

For the next two days, the crew was basically paralyzed because the entire Hollywood was basically paralyzed.

Almost half of Paramount's senior executives were taken away by Sean, and several Disney executives were also summoned. The entire crew was in a panic and had no mind to film.

And now, everyone thinks that Scarlett, who cut ties with “them” a week ago, is simply the goddess of luck!
Not to mention that no one has been scolding Scarlett these days, this woman has been praised as the only conscience of Hollywood, the only superstar who dares to fight against "their" forces.

It is so lucky, it is just like escaping the A-share peak of 6,120 points during the week!

Knock, knock, knock. Someone was knocking on the window outside the RV that the film crew provided for Scarlett.

Scarlett drew aside the curtain and took a peek, Michael Costigan.

"Hey, Scarlett, sorry." Michael Costigan looked embarrassed and coughed twice.

"Steven, Avi and I discussed it and decided to continue filming in Newport. The next scene is..."

Scarlett raised her eyebrows and was about to roll up the car window in disdain when she saw a tall young man outside the cordon hugging a big, plump woman wearing a mask and sunglasses walking past the perimeter of the set.

As he passed by, the man winked at him.

Scarlett was stunned.

It's him?

No, not by appearance.

They are obviously not the same person, how could I have made a mistake?

No, he is God. Can’t God have whatever appearance he wants?
Scarlett quickly took out her cell phone and sent a text message.

is it you?
A few seconds later, the text message came back.

Yes.
