Chapter 633 Unfounded charges
Another project related to Gilbert Jr. is "I Am Legend", and Will Smith was originally invited to star, but something went wrong.

Brad Pitt also declined the film, so Nicolas Cage, who was a member of the Italian gang, stepped forward and took on the leading male role.

But this is actually a good thing for Nicolas Cage. Although Nicolas Cage still maintains his status as a first-line star, he has shown signs of being the king of bad movies and has made many bad movies in recent years.

At the moment he only has one movie on hand, "National Treasure 2", and there are no other films worth paying attention to.

Therefore, it is a good thing for Nicolas Cage to take on the role of "I Am Legend" this time. If the film sells well, his position will be further consolidated.

The film had been shooting for more than half a month, and before the crew moved to New York, Gilbert Jr. met with Nicolas Cage.

Nicolas Cage always looks like that: "I heard you were in trouble?"

Gilbert Jr. smiled and said, "I don't think it's a problem. Instead, I think it's an opportunity. Maybe our Italian gang can rule Hollywood and recreate the glory of the last century."

In the last century, the Italian gang played a very important role in Hollywood, from behind the scenes to the front stage, from directors to actors. However, after the retirement of the Italian gang represented by Francis Coppola, the Italian gang gradually declined.

Although Gilbert Jr. is also a representative of the Italian gang, he has never led the development of the Italian gang in Hollywood.

The situation is different now, and Gilbert Jr. also needs to unite the strength of the Italian gang to help him fight against others.

Not only that, Gilbert Jr. is also a Squidman, and it is unknown how many people in the Squid Gang support him. During his few days in Los Angeles, Gilbert Jr. rarely publicly participated in several Free Squid fundraising galas.

His high-profile donation of 1500 million US dollars at the party shocked the audience.

Although the free squids are not as powerful as the other faction, they still have many figures from the political and business circles.

Afterwards, Gilbert Jr. talked with several organizers, and they all expressed indignation at the unwarranted targeting of Gilbert Jr. and said they were willing to help.

Of course, help needs to be rewarded, so Gilbert Jr. promised to provide the organization with no less than 10 million US dollars per year, which can be increased depending on the situation.

This money is mainly used for lobbying groups. Where are the squids most powerful? In addition to the power of the media, it is the lobbying groups.

It’s just that the lobbying group of the other group is much stronger than this one, so Gilbert Jr. has to support this side and go to Washington to start lobbying.

Not to mention asking the masters in Washington to help you, but at least don't fight with others in Hollywood and Wall Street for your life and death, otherwise these masters will suddenly stab you in the back.

The Red Group has been in power for the past two years, and the situation has been relatively good for little Gilbert.

When the news of Gilbert Jr.'s donation spread, it seemed to send a strong signal that Gilbert Jr. would not sit idly by.

This seemed to anger the other party, and after Gilbert Jr. returned to Toronto, Jada Smith, accompanied by her bestie, pretended to be aggrieved and accepted an interview with Cable News Network.

In the interview, Jada Smith said that during the filming of "The Matrix" series, she was sexually assaulted by Gilbert Jr. in a trailer when she was changing clothes.

As soon as the news was broadcast, it shocked the whole United States. Almost all media and newspapers reported on it, and the Internet was immediately overwhelmed.

For a time, criticism of Little Gilbert was all the rage, and countless netizens claiming to be Gilbert's fans expressed their disappointment with Little Gilbert and hoped that he would be severely punished.

Gilbert Jr.'s real fans were disappointed at first, and then they became skeptical. After all, Jada Smith was so ugly, how could Gilbert Jr. fall for her?
This is indeed the case. The fruit companies that control social media were the first to guide public opinion online. They had already made preparations.

So even though there are black fans and internet trolls leading the trend, netizens who frequently surf the Internet will still be attracted by the louder voices of Gilbert's internet troll fans, and will start to doubt Jada Smith's statements.

However, even with the development of the Internet today, there are still people who do not go online, and they are quite a lot.

These people were still influenced by traditional media, and their impression of Gilbert Jr. took a sharp turn for the worse.

As we all know, Hollywood is filthy behind the scenes, and often both sides of a movie promotion will seize on the other's scandals to smear the audience.

However, scandals of this magnitude are nothing, and the public has long been accustomed to them. But if there is something like Michael Jackson being collectively targeted, the effect will be ten or even a hundred times greater.

Because all the media are attacking you, even your fans who believe in you dare not speak at this time, and may even doubt whether you really did it.

However, what is better for Gilbert Jr. than Michael Jackson is that he is the Squidward, and now is the Internet age.

The other party cannot gain any advantage on the Internet, and Gilbert Jr.'s reputation is in good condition. As for the media level, the donation to the Free Squids will come into play.

More than a dozen free squid media outlets immediately came out to express their doubts about this matter. Although major newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post began to hype and criticize Gilbert Jr., another newspaper controlled by Gilbert Jr., the Los Angeles Times, also stood up to speak for Gilbert Jr.

There is another story about the Los Angeles Times. Originally, the editors were prepared to maintain a tacit understanding with the New York Times, but suddenly the editor-in-chief received a call and learned that Gilbert Jr. was the largest shareholder of the Los Angeles Times.

The editor-in-chief then changed his position in time and asked the editors to support Gilbert Jr. A few editors were unwilling to do so and were fired on the spot.

Don’t you know who pays your salary? Is your position more important than your salary?

The editor-in-chief announced another good news. Little Gilbert decided to give bonuses to the editors, depending on who performed best.

The editors cheered and then started to join the battle.

However, the first to voice support was the Los Angeles Business Journal, which doubted Jada Smith in its newspaper, and believed that Gilbert Jr. was not possible from an aesthetic point of view.

However, this reason was quickly refuted by other media, who suggested that perhaps little Gilbert had eaten too many delicacies from land and sea and wanted to eat some wild vegetables.

My goodness, the dignified Mrs. Smith was treated as a wild vegetable. I wonder how she feels.

However, this reason was not as powerful as discrimination. Jada Smith's lawyer soon sent a letter to warn the Los Angeles Business Journal of suspected discrimination and that they would reserve the right to pursue legal action.

Gege is not alone anymore, because other people also use the lawyer's letter trick.

And although discrimination exists, it is indeed a taboo that the public and the media cannot mention. Originally, it was about Jada Smith not being pretty, but now it has become discrimination against her skin color.

This trick of diverting the focus of conflict is very effective and has become a common tactic used by the black community in Hollywood.

Will Smith then stood up and said that he had hired a lawyer to file a lawsuit in New York and send Gilbert Jr. to jail.

Mel Gibson also came out to overturn the verdict of the incident, saying that he did not do it, and that it was Gilbert Jr. who framed him and said that it was Gilbert Jr. who did it.

The situation seemed to be very unfavorable to little Gilbert. If it continued to develop in this way, he might have to go to court.

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, it is a huge blow to his reputation.

It seemed that little Gilbert had no ability to resist. Although he had many supporters, they were of no use in the face of the powerful stick of discrimination and false accusations.

At this time, Charlize Theron suddenly accepted exclusive interviews with the Los Angeles Times and ABC TV.

Originally, Robert Iger didn't want to get involved in this mess, but Gilbert Jr. suddenly contacted him and told him about Marvel Studios and Lucasfilm.

Robert Iger was very excited, so he asked ABC TV to participate in this public opinion war, of course, claiming to the outside world that they were neutral.

And Charlize Theron cursed Jada Smith as a shameless woman during an interview.

The focus of the conflict was successfully shifted from whether Gilbert Jr. committed an offense to whether Gilbert Jr. was interested in Jada Smith.

Indeed, when the public saw the powerful and stunning Charlize Theron step forward, their doubts grew.

The most important thing is that the women around little Gilbert are more beautiful than each other, and you can see little Gilbert's aesthetic interests from these women.

How could such a person fall in love with the short and ugly Jada Smith?
To put it bluntly, Will Smith probably went to bed with Jada Smith with the lights and eyes closed.

Things are getting very interesting here. Originally, charges were to be filed, but now everyone is doubting what Jada Smith said unless substantial evidence is produced.

Unlike what she expected, this made Jada Smith a little panicked.

More importantly, this is not the end.

If things go wrong, not only will you not be able to enter the club, you will most likely be silenced, in a physical sense.

At the same time, the Smiths also realized that it was not just luck and status that enabled young Gilbert to become a big Hollywood director in his twenties.

He is not an easy person to deal with.
