"The Chinese director star was expelled from college for racial discrimination!"

Seeing this news from Yahoo, it was like watching "Agility - Ghost Records" again, everyone was shocked. The news said that Wang Yang, a rising Chinese director who recently set off a "ghost craze" across the United States and created a box office miracle, was a freshman at the Film and Television School of the University of Southern California more than four months ago, but was expelled from the school for racial discrimination. The reporter interviewed James Grant, the official spokesman of the University of Southern California, and he confirmed the news.

This news was like a deep water bomb exploded, and it immediately stirred the calm sea and tumbling.

On the online forum, movie fans expressed their doubts, while black movie fans indignantly stated that if this matter was true, they would not go to the cinema to watch any movies about Wang Yang and Lions Gate Company.

This news was also reported on the evening news on NBC Channel. Although it was mentioned briefly, for a while, families across the United States who were watching this show knew about it.

"Jessica, is that true?" Mark Alba, who saw this news on the fabric sofa, frowned immediately. His majestic face sank. He looked at Jessica next to him and asked, "Is that kid a racist? He discriminates against black people?!"

Jessica, sitting in the middle of the sofa, looked at the TV screen with a dull look on her face. Oh my God! What she was worried about recently came out. Damn it! Just as Yang was enjoying success, was this unjust case coming out to destroy it? She frowned and thought, and she was immersed in a moment.

"Jessica, Jessica!" Mark Alba shouted a few times, but Jessica stayed silent. His face couldn't help but get heavier. Could it be that Jessica was also kept in the dark? Cathy, who was sitting on the far left, shook his daughter. Jessica woke up. She glanced left and right and asked, "Oh! What are you saying?" Mark Alba asked again in a serious tone: "Jessica, is that true? Young is a racist? Didn't you know before?"

Jessica leaned on the sofa weakly, shook her head and said, "No, Dad, I knew it before. But..."

"What!" Mark Alba was stunned. Jessica had known before. He reacted and couldn't help but scolded: "You know, you're still with him! Jessica, what are you doing!?"

His anger has accumulated for many days. Recently, Jessica often went out to play with Na Yang, watch movies, and went home in the middle of the night. He is a Catholic and naturally feels angry about this, but he thinks that his daughter has grown up and it is normal to start dating, so he doesn't care much about it, just saying that he is careful on the road.

But now, his daughter is actually dating a person with poor moral character? He can't help but feel dissatisfied. He has always hoped that his children can grow up healthily and happily and have a career in the future. In order to give Jessica the best environment and education for his brothers, he retired and changed his career to do business. He worked hard to bring his family into the upper class, and it doesn't matter how hard or tiring his work is.

Jessica has been very sensible since she was a child, which makes him worry-free, but in the end, his daughter is actually with a man who calls "Mexicans are dirty cleaners"? How can he not be angry?

"No, no! Dad, listen to me..." Jessica shouted helplessly, feeling in a mess. She was worried about Yang's affairs, and now her father is causing trouble again. She couldn't help but cover her forehead, closed her eyes, and couldn't speak.

"Mark, calm down." Cathy advised her husband, looked at her troubled daughter, and asked softly: "Jessica, tell mom, what's going on?"

Jessica exhaled a long sigh and shook her head, "Yang has no racism, he was wronged." Then, she explained the whole thing clearly. She looked at Mark Alba and said unhappily: "Dad, mom, Yang helped me a lot when she was a child. And you had met Yang at my birthday party that day, and you know who he is." She said amusedly: "Is he like a person who said 'nigger, nigger'? He is not that idiotic!"

Cathy sighed sympathetically, "Oh, Lord! That child is so pitiful, he shouldn't bear it." Jessica looked at her mother gratefully, nodded, "Well, but Young has survived, and he has achieved great success now. But this incident has come out again..."

Mark Alba chose to believe Wang Yang as easily as his wife. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, Yang is a very mature person, but mature people often hide themselves and speak more sweetly. A person who can earn tens of millions in a few months is not that simple." He looked at Jessica and said in his father's tone: "Anyway, before you figure this out, Jessica, don't be with Yang."

Jessica rolled her eyes helplessly, and she knew that her stubborn father would not easily believe Wang Yang, and Joshua learned half of it from him. She looked at Cathy, then looked at Mark, and said seriously: "I believe in Yang, I will not break up with him because of this damn thing." She finally met Yang again and met each other again. Now her relationship is getting better and better. Break up with each other? What a joke!

Looking at her stubborn father whose eyes were getting bigger and bigger, she simply finished speaking in one breath: "And, Yang and I are not in a romantic relationship; and, it is my freedom to be with whom I am."

Mark Alba laughed a few times in anger and said, "Freedom? Yes, you have your freedom." He snorted coldly again and said righteously: "But you are not yet an adult. In terms of law, I have the right to guard my daughter; in terms of family affection, I cannot let my daughter stay with some bastards. I can still control you."

"Mark, say something." Cathy reconciled the conflict between the father and daughter and said softly to his daughter: "Jessica, don't argue with your father, you know, we all love you."

"I know, of course I know." Jessica sighed a few times, thinking that his father was also for his own good, and she didn't want to argue. She apologized to Mark: "My fault, Dad, I shouldn't have spoken that heavily. But I really believe that Yang is a good person." She stood up from the sofa: "I've gone up." After that, she walked over the stairs.

Watching her walk up the second floor with "dongdongdongdong", Mark Alba and Cathy looked at each other, with a little helpless face. Mark Alba spread his hands with a self-deprecating look and said, "It seems that someone has grown up and is going to throw me, the old guy, into the trash can." Cathy smiled and patted his hand, comforting him, "Mark, Jessica is a worry-free child. She has her own judgment, so you don't have to worry so much."

"Beep—beep—the phone number you called is on the phone..." In the room, Jessica put down her cell phone with her eyebrows. She walked around in annoyance. She looked at the discussion on this matter on the Internet in front of the computer. Looking at the scolding and curses for Wang Yang, she felt very uncomfortable and couldn't bear it anymore. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Wang Yang's number, but it was still on the phone...

Wang Yang's cell phone has been busy all night. After receiving calls from Zachary, several high school classmates and others, he welcomed his parents' calls. He was walking in the hall with the ringing cell phone, looking in a panic. He gritted his teeth, pressed the answer button, and said calmly: "Hi, this is Wang Yang, he cannot answer your phone for the time being. Please leave your message if you have any questions."

"Xiao Yang, such a big thing happened! When are you going to tell me?!" Dad Wang's voice was very angry. He sighed: "You disappointed Dad and Mom. We got this news from TV! My son made a movie? My son was fired from college? What are these things! I know you are here, tell us quickly, what's wrong? Your mother and I are both anxious." At this time, Mom Wang's voice also came over and said anxiously: "Xiao Yang, are you doing well now? Are you really worried about your mother to death."

"Dad, mom... I'm living a good life, don't worry about me." Wang Yang heard their tone so anxious, and immediately had no intention of joking. He comforted them with a few words, and then explained the causes and consequences of the matter in detail, saying: "Then, I will use the money returned from the school, the living expenses you gave me, the return fee, and the money I earned from part-time jobs to make a DVD movie. Then the movie was lucky enough to be attracted by the Lionsgate Company...and then, the fact that I was fired by the Southern Canadian University was exposed today."

He talked about these things very easily, without mentioning any difficulties or setbacks. All the things have passed, so why bother to make his parents feel distressed? They just need to share their current joy.

After a while of silence on the other side of the phone, Wang's mother praised lovingly: "Xiao Yang, you are very strong, and both mom and dad are very proud of you." She blamed her again: "But it is wrong for you to hide these things from us. What are the difficulties? Let's discuss and solve them together."

Wang Yang didn't say anything. He knew his parents' love for him, but he felt that he was already an adult and should be independent. He could not rely on his parents in everything. Besides, some difficulties needed to be passed by himself, and that was his business, and he would solve them. He smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of being tied back to San Francisco by you. I don't want to inherit the restaurant."

"Xiao Yang, I don't give you any more than you want to inherit. This restaurant is mine. I'm given to you. What am I going to do?" Dad Wang laughed. Wang Yang couldn't help but smile, and then heard his father sighing suddenly: "Do you think we don't know what you want to do? If you want to make a movie, that is your ideal. Your mother and I know, will we hinder you? How much does it cost to make a movie? Even if Dad sells the restaurant, he will let you shoot the movie; but you don't, you hide it from us. I know that although you speak easily, you must have suffered a lot. Why don't you tell us? You are our son!"

Wang Yang's eyes became slightly moist and his heart was warm. It turned out that he had been misunderstanding his parents. There was no war or annoyance, but only warm family affection. He couldn't help but say, "Dad, mom, thank you!" Dad Wang and Mom Wang both laughed and said, "What else does the family say thank you." Wang Yang smiled and wiped his nose, deliberately said, "You really don't have to worry. I'm fine now, and I can get a lot of money right away, becoming a millionaire or something, I'll buy you whatever you want."

"Well, we are doing well, you don't need to buy anything." Dad Wang said angrily, and said indignantly: "But, I can't watch my son be wronged and endure these infamous names that shouldn't be!" Mother Wang also said: "Yes, Xiao Yang, what are you planning to do now?"

"It's no big deal, just clarify it." Wang Yang continued to say lightly on purpose, saying: "Just interview my former teachers and classmates, everyone will know who I am." Of course, this requires others to believe it.

But Dad Wang knew that things were far from that simple, so he asked heavily: "Xiao Yang, let's just sue?"

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "No, there is no need for this for the time being." Although it is very promising to hire a good lawyer and then win the lawsuit with the financial resources he is about to have. However, doing so still cannot clear away the controversy, and it may have a counterproductive effect. What he hopes most now is that the private detectives hired by the Lionsgate Company can investigate what new evidence.

After chatting with his parents for a long time, Wang Yang finally eliminated their worries for half before he finished the call. He just hung up, but before he finished pouring a glass of water, someone called his phone again.

Wang Yang looked at the caller ID on the screen, then answered the phone and said with a smile: "Hi, Rachel? If you call me because of news, then I say 'I'm fine, don't worry about me' and then hang up; if not, then we continue to chat, which will make me avoid many of the previous calls." Rachel smiled crisply and said: "No, I call me to say 'Good evening' to you."

"Ok! Do you know? I just finished the call with my parents. Wow, I really didn't expect that I thought it would be a mess, but I was wrong. They love me so much..." Wang Yang sighed and walked back to the sofa with a cup of water. Rachel said softly in a tone: "Every parent loves their children, Yang." Wang Yang took a sip of water and smiled and said: "I know, I just thought they didn't understand my pursuit. But in fact, they understood very well. They kept silently encouraging and supporting me. When I was a child, my mother knew that I liked watching movies, so she took me to the cinema every day..."

"Beep—beep—The phone number you called is on the phone..." Jessica smashed her phone onto the mattress with a little anger. She had been calling for more than an hour in a row, and she called every once in a while, but she still couldn't get through Wang Yang's phone. She frowned and walked around the room. She suddenly walked to the bed and took the phone, picked up a bunch of keys on the table, and walked downstairs.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong, seeing Jessica walking downstairs quickly, Cathy, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned to look at her, and saw that she was holding the key in her hand, she asked, "Jessica, are you going out?" Jessica nodded and walked to the door: "Yes, mom, I'll go to Young's place and I'll be back soon." At this time, Danny, the Labrador Retriever, wrapped around her feet, and she smiled and said, "Danny, go away, I don't have time to play with you now."

Mark Alba on the sofa said with a calm face and dissatisfied: "When is it? It's past nine o'clock!" He frowned, as if he was asking himself, "What's wrong? My daughter is going out again, and my son hasn't come home yet."

At this moment, the sound of unlocking came from the door. Danny ran over quickly and saw Joshua, who had been playing with his classmates for a night, opened the door and walked in. He looked at the hall, turned the key in his hand, and laughed, "Hey, everyone!" He looked at Jessica again and said excitedly, "Jessica, I just said to Ronnie and the others, 'Guys, I know the director of "Ghost Records". They were all silly, haha, it's cool! By the way, they want to meet Yang, I have to ask whether Yang agrees, but his phone can't be connected, I don't know what's going on." He looked at Jessica who was walking over and asked, "Do you know?"

"You'll know if you go online by yourself." Jessica hurriedly put on her shoes, opened the door and walked out.

Joshua scratched his head in confusion: "What's wrong?" At this time, Mark Alba asked him loudly: "Joshua, where have you been there one night?" Joshua was stunned, not understanding what his father was angry about, and said: "Classmate..."

Of course, Wang Yang could not receive a call from Jessica or Joshua. After chatting with Rachel, he received several calls from friends. Then Jon Philtimel called again. He said he had contacted a media with a good relationship with the Lions Gate and made a telephone interview to clarify the facts first. Jon has almost become Wang Yang's agent now. So Wang Yang accepted an interview with the Los Angeles News Daily on his mobile phone, explained the truth of the matter and answered some reporters' questions.

After the interview, Wang Yang leaned on the tattered sofa for a while, rubbed his temples, and dealing with these things was really more tiring than standing on the street to send leaflets at noon. However, before, compared with the racial discrimination case, he was more worried about how to comfort his parents. But now, with the support and understanding of his family, he has more trouble in his heart, and most of the troubles in his heart have disappeared, and the rest seems to be small problems.

Just as he was half lying on the sofa and was about to fall asleep in a daze, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who is that late? Wang Yang rubbed his eyes and stood up, came to the door and looked out from the cat's eyes. He was stunned. It turned out to be Jessica. She was wearing pretty white clothes, brown hair draped down her shoulders, and big eyes looked at the cat's eyes. Her brown eyes were filled with slight anxiety.

Jessica... Wang Yang's heart was shocked and he was very moved. He knew that Jessica must have seen the news, and then worried about him, so he ran over. Wang Yang opened the door, looked at her and smiled, "Hi, Jessica."

"Hi..." Jessica saw him standing there, and a heart hanging quietly dropped quietly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. She tied her hair and looked at Wang Yang with her eyes, explaining: "I can't call you. It always says 'It's on the phone, it's on the phone, and then I come over."

Wang Yang patted his head and smiled, "Oh, it was really continuous just now. I didn't expect that I had so many friends." He and Jessica both smiled. He looked at Jessica standing pretty outside the door, not coming in and not leaving, so he asked with a smile, "Come in?"

"Yeah." Jessica nodded and walked in.

The next day, the Los Angeles News Daily published Wang Yang's interview, and Yahoo reprinted it on the Internet. Some people believe Wang Yang's "being wronged" saying, but most people don't believe it. They are all the common idea. USC is a prestigious university, so how could it be wronged you? So on the online forum, the attitude of movie fans towards Wang Yang has not changed much, even worse, because many people think that Wang Yang is unwilling to admit his mistakes, and others want to give you the opportunity to regret.

Jon Filtimel was naturally unwilling to let the incident end like this. Lionsgate immediately contacted the media in San Francisco. The San Francisco Chronicle interviewed several teachers from Wang Yang's high school "Lincoln High School", as well as several high school classmates who are now studying in San Francisco. They were all saying good things about Wang Yang.

Wang Yang's physical education teacher said: "He plays basketball very well, is a very smart point guard. He is physically good and knows how to play with his IQ. If he is willing to join the school basketball team, he even has the opportunity to be in North Carolina and Duke. I always think so. Racial discrimination? No, he is very outgoing. You know, he is the kind of student who likes to participate in activities and likes to help others. His relationship with his classmates is very good."

And now in college John Jones, who is a black man, said: "Man, I tell you, Young is a very good person, he can't be racist, I promise with my skin color."

Although Wang Yang's high school teachers and classmates were talking to him, their words were not enough to completely convince the public. Of course, many people have begun to believe that Wang Yang is innocent, but many people still think that Wang Yang has bribed the media and witnesses.

Oprah's attitude on the talk show was very ambiguous. They did not call or say that they would cancel the invitation. It seemed that this happened. Or, this incident would make their show more topical and ratings. Of course, Wang Yang could also show his heart to the audience and perhaps get a lot of support.

Another person involved, Terence Ben, also began to be interviewed. He complained to the media: "That day, Wang Yang was like he was crazy and kept beating me. I should have sued him for hurting people, but I didn't. I forgave him, but he is still lying now." Terence Ben's shameless face successfully deceived some people. They all went to the official website of "Ghost Records" to leave a message, asking Wang Yang to apologize publicly, otherwise he would boycott the Lionsgate movies, etc.

Just when Wang Yang and the Lion Gate Company were helpless, things suddenly took a major turn, which made everyone who cared about Wang Yang overjoyed!

Four days have passed since the media exposed the "trial incident". Wang Yang and others' itinerary to go to Chicago on Sunday was also cancelled. It was not that Oprah's talk show canceled their invitation, but because on Sunday, the Los Angeles Times suddenly published a news that "The Chinese director's new star did not lie!" and its official website also released a video.

It turned out that there was a man named "Ian". He suddenly contacted the Los Angeles Times and said that he had a video recording the "exit incident" that time. He was not a student at USC, he was just a tourist. That day he went to USC to visit and filmed the campus scenery with a DVD. Unexpectedly, he encountered the dispute between Wang Yang and Terence-Ben, so he took it.

He said: "When this happened, I watched from a distance. I thought it was just an ordinary campus fight. I took it with interest on the DVD. Then I saw a teacher pulling them away, so I went to other places in the University of Southern California to shoot, and then went home. I didn't know that Wang Yang would be fired. I only learned about this news on TV these days. I vaguely remember that I seemed to have taken this video, so I searched for it and it was really found by me."

"As far as I saw, the Chinese director wanted to leave, and he didn't say anything; but Terence Ben kept provoking him and said something very unpleasant. Man, it's not Wang Yang who is racist."

The video on the official website of the Los Angeles Times was a bit blurry, but it was still clear. I saw that Terence Ben stopped Wang Yang in a distance. Wang Yang ignored him and walked away, but he ran to the front and stopped Wang Yang again, and began to push and swear racially. Because the shooting distance was very far, the sound was very small. Then, Wang Yang suddenly knocked him down and began to punch Terence.

As soon as this video was released, the truth was revealed, and the movie fans naturally stopped causing trouble. Many of the people who had scolded Wang Yang before expressed their apology and instead scolded Terence Ben and Southern California.

The media also changed their positions and began to question the review process of the USC University, commenting that they had a very irresponsible act of expelling a student so hastyly. Now, it was USC University's turn to apologize publicly. Official spokesman James Grant told the media seriously that this was a serious mistake they made. They would fire Terence Ben and cancel the expulsion of Wang Yang, and welcome him to go back to USC University to study.

In the news report on the TV screen, Wang Yang, who was innocent, was in a very good mood. He said to the reporter's microphone: "I had a very happy day at USC, but then that unpleasant thing happened. I don't want to mention it anymore, and I don't want to hold anyone legally responsible. Terence Ben got the punishment he deserved, and I also got innocent, enough. This is just a stupid farce, it's time to end." When talking about whether he would go back to USC to continue his studies, he joked: "Maybe, but not now, I need to go to Chicago to record "Oprah Talk Show."

"Haha!" Jessica looked at the TV and smiled at Mark Alba with a proud look on her face, "Dad, you've seen what I said, Young is a good person!"

Mark Alba was helpless and couldn't speak anything.

Less than a week before and after the storm, although black movie fans said they would not watch Wang Yang's movies during this period, the box office of "The Ghost Record" was not greatly affected. In the fourth week, it received a box office of 31.2415 million, continuing to occupy the throne of the weekly box office champion.
Chapter completed!
