Chapter 519 Trap
Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!
After sorting out a haute couture suit and wearing limited edition leather shoes, Spike Lee stepped onto the stage like an old-school noble from England.
Matthew opened his mouth slightly and instantly performed the most unexpected expression he needed at this moment.
"How could it be..."
"This is Spike Lee."
"Why is he here?"
There was also a sound of surprise in the audience seat.
Everyone in the house in Ximu District was stunned. They said nothing that they expected, Spike Lee actually appeared on Matthew's talk show.
Brian couldn't help scratching his head and muttered, "What is Oprah doing?"
Daenerys became interested, "Matthew is going to face Spike Lee directly!"
"Why didn't I go to the scene!" Thompson hugged his dark face, "I'm in the live broadcast room, I must have fucked Spike-Lee directly!"
Spike Lee's appearance was unexpected. Oprah did not stop the comments in the audience. He wanted this effect. Without any shocking news, why did Oprah's talk show always maintain an absolute leading position?
She looked at Matthew and then at Spike Lee, and the two formed a sharp contrast.
Matthew Horner was dressed in a very ordinary casual outfit, no different from the young people in the audience, as if he was a very ordinary member of the general public.
Spike Lee is completely different. Dark suits and leather shoes don’t look cheap. Whether it is diamond-clad earrings and golden watches, or frames that occasionally reflect light above your eyes, they all tell everyone that I am very expensive and I am a rich and powerful person.
After getting on stage, Spike Lee had no interest in interacting with the audience, and walked directly towards Oprah and Matthew.
Matthew was surprised at first, and the expression on his face gradually returned to normal. He glanced at Oprah, and Oprah just smiled at him, but said nothing.
She doesn't know how to explain, nor does she need to explain.
Because this is an Oprah talk show, this is her show.
Oprah's face remained unchanged, her eyes took back from Spike Lee, and looked at Matthew again. Just in terms of clothing, Matthew was obviously smarter than Spike Lee.
Perhaps this big director is too far away from the frontline audience.
Oprah suddenly thought of Spike Lee's directorial style and work. It seems that he never knew what front-line audiences needed.
Compared to him, the more popular Matthew Horner is even more likable from his image and past character alone.
If Spike Lee cannot confirm the suspicion of Matthew Horner's racism, he will probably be in trouble today.
Oprah had seen some pictures provided by Helen Herman before, and knew that Matthew was not unprepared.
But Matthew would not be so stupid that he showed his trump card to Oprah in advance. Although Oprah recognized his unscrupulous heart, who can trust in business matters?
Watching Spike-Li approaching step by step, Matthew gently touched his pocket, which contained two mobile hard drives and two U disks. This was his killer weapon today.
Helen Hermann had previously communicated with Oprah. For the sake of the program effect, Oprah also agreed to let the program producers play the video materials he provided on the spot.
Matthew knew very well what Oprah wanted. No matter who wins today, Oprah was actually the winner, and it was the most unfavorable for the show.
"Sit down, Director Lee." Oprah signaled the sofa opposite Matthew, waited for Spike Lee to sit down, and said, "Two, don't I introduce you again, right?"
Matthew nodded slightly to Spike Lee, "Hello, Director Lee."
Spike Li glanced at him with a slant, but there was no response.
Matthew smiled, not caring about it, and seemed particularly polite and generous.
Gilberto Silva had a bad first impression of Spike Lee. He felt that the people on the opposite stage were arrogant. Although they were both black people, he subconsciously thought that they were not like the same people when they saw the other person's clothes.
"Opra really has a hand."
In the mansion, Will Smith looked at the TV screen and said, "It actually created such a program."
Jada Smith was a little excited, "Look, Will. You are too cautious. Now you see how Spike ruined Matthew Horner's reputation."
Behind the stage, Helen Herman found the producer assistant who gave her news and whispered a few words while no one around him.
"Don't worry," said the production assistant. "I promise to keep an eye on it, and there will be no accidents."
Helen Hermann nodded slightly, and had done everything he could. Now it depends on Matthew's performance on the stage.
On the stage, before Oprah could speak, Spike Lee said directly, "Do you think your quibbling can deceive everyone? Well? Can it?"
He spoke very fast and did not give Matthew a chance to argue. "Do you dare to swear to God that you don't discriminate against black people?"
"Yes." Matthew said seriously, "If possible, we will go to church together after the show."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the audience, "If you are interested, you can go and testify."
Spike Lee didn't seem to have expected that Matthew would not hesitate at all.
"You have not expressed the respect you deserve to be for black and black characters." Spike Lee Fu has been in trouble for more than a decade and has a philosophy that he thinks is truth. He stared at Matthew and asked, "Have you ever played with black actors since entering Hollywood? Have you worked with black directors and producers? Do you have black friends?"
He raised his voice and directly answered for Matthew, "No!"
Matthew spread his hands and said innocently, "What can these mean?"
Spike Lee raised his hand and pointed at him, "It means you are a white supremacist, it means you have many despicable and dirty thoughts in your heart, it means you are suspected of racism!"
Matthew turned to look at Oprah. Since Spike Lee asked, Oprah had automatically become invisible. Oprah's face looked normal, and it seemed that there was no problem with what Spike Lee said.
Does this mean that many black people think? This kind of weird theory also has a market...
Suddenly, Matthew thought of Spike Lee accusing Eastwood and "The Flag of the Fathers", and no one refuted it except Eastwood himself; he thought of the black actor who once Star Wars 7, who said for granted that the main character was discriminatory...
Then, he understood that many problems he thought were not problems, but in the eyes of black people and even many white people who supported black people, they were very problematic.
He thought of what Amanda had said to him recently, such words as race and diveity. Now he often becomes a trump card for people with ulterior motives. As long as they don’t get their purpose, they will take out this trump card and make a fuss to death.
Faced with this increasingly common situation, some people can only bow their heads, some are disgusted, some dare not speak out, but few people jump out to refute directly.
Matthew looked at Spike Lee again. If Hollywood is the center of the skin-making movement, then Spike Lee is definitely the core element in the center.
Spike Lee is still accusing him of racial discrimination and can drown Matthew at any time.
Helen Hermann looked at the situation on the stage and was a little worried. No one here knew better than her. No matter which standard Matthew measured it, he was not a good person and would never just endure it without fighting back. However, all the fallacies of Spike Lee were based on his skin color. If he fought back, he might really become a racist if he couldn't control it well.
Just like in the past, Spike Lee knew that what he said was too much and this theory was weird, but in Hollywood and even American society, many people and most mainstream media bought it. He has been making trouble for more than ten years with his skin color and has long summarized a set of effective experiences.
Moreover, he was waiting for Matthew Horner to refute that these theories were all fallacies, but if they refute, they could easily fall into the language trap.
Matthew was very relaxed on the surface, but in fact he also noticed that Spike-Lee's words could not be refuted casually, especially for those who did not cooperate with black people and had no black friends. His rebuttal could easily give people the real impression that Spike-Lee's words...
This Spike Lee looked very arrogant, and seemed to dare to rely on his skin tone, but in fact he was waiting to trick him.
In today's social situation, if you don't like black people and don't deal with black people, you may be suspected of racial discrimination.
Other circles may be better, but the situation in Hollywood is becoming more and more obvious.
Matthew knew that he could not confront the entire environment, after all, he still had to hang out in Hollywood.
"Director Lee!" Matthew interrupted Spike Lee and said, "I have worked with Kelly Hu in "The Scorpion King". I am still a friend. She is a Chinese. When filming "Dawn of the Living Dead", the heroine I worked with was Jessica Alba. We fell in love with the drama and had a brief relationship. Jessie is Latino..."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and anyone who knew Matthew knew that he was talking about the facts.
"That's it." Brian shouted in front of the TV, "Spike Lee is slander!"
"right!"
"right!"
Thompson reminded, "Matthew has also dated Adriana Lima, he is a Brazilian."
Spike Lee glanced at the audience, cursed a group of idiots in his heart, and then said, "Please note that the discrimination I am talking about is black people, not others!"
He withdrew his gaze, stared at Matthew, and said something that had been prepared long ago, "You join forces with Keira Knightley to put pressure on the Pirates of the Caribbean and replace Naomi Harris with Eva Green? You support the white actor Alexandra Dadario to squeeze out Paula Patton and get the supporting actress in "I Am Legend", right? Francis Lawrence, who supports black actor, lost the director position of "I Am Legend" for this. Didn't I make it up?"
After hearing these questions, Matthew was silent.
