  Chapter 243 Send it directly, spiral up to heaven!

"what are you thinking about?"

   After realizing that Roland was in a daze, Kate pinched him with her toes.

"ah?"

   Roland shuddered from the pain, and when he came back to his senses, he shook his body and came out with the sound of splashing water.

  At this moment, the two of them are soaking in the bathtub, each side, honest with each other.

"Why did you stop in the middle?" Seeing Roland's expression as if he had encountered a ghost, Kate asked concerned, "Didn't you just say that it is best not to fight wars? Then... you mean, 'Black Hawk Event' must not be filmed?"

   "Can't shoot anymore? Poor, almost..."

  Roland was almost scared to death by his own brain hole, and his mouth trembled a little when he spoke.

  He was panting, and tried his best to show that this place is stuffy and I want to be quiet.

But before he climbed out of the bathtub, found a place to calm down, and tried hard to figure out why he had such an amazing idea, Kate, who noticed the abnormality, had slid over, looked at the pale face, and was concerned. asked, "What's wrong with you?"

'What's wrong with me? '

  ‘Of course I was frightened by the idea of ​​eating human blood steamed buns! '

   Came back to his senses, Roland complained to himself, but in the end, he still gave the other party a fake smile.

"it's okay no problem…"

   "It's okay? Do you think I'm Liqi?"

  Kate is not a child, and Roland's dodging eyes will deceive an actor, let alone an ordinary person, and it will be overturned.

   Picked up a dry towel on the side and wiped Roland's face. At the same time, Kate, who was kneeling on his waist, didn't stop talking, "Have you got an idea? Can you tell me..."

   "No really, it's just that my mind suddenly went blank..."

The slightly curious inquiry coupled with a little coquettish voice gradually calmed down the emotionally fluctuating Roland. He smiled and continued to deny, but faced with his cover-up, Kate did not give up and glanced at him, " Really?"

   "Yes." Roland lied for the third time.

   "Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Having said that, Kate has already wiped off the sweat from Roland's face. At the same time of closing her voice, she placed her hands on Roland's shoulders. Her long brown chestnut hair hangs down her shoulders. The reason, like broken pendulums, sticks around.

  When she held her hands and straightened her waist, everything that grew out of the water was presented in front of Roland.

   Coupled with the friendly face, the trusting smile hanging on it, the persistent eyes and the attitude that I won’t get up today if you don’t tell me, Roland nestled in the bathtub...

   Throw in the towel.

Ben's hands on the bathtub were taken back by him, and he took advantage of the situation, and said with emotion: "I just suddenly felt that it is best not to fight a war. It is just a beautiful vision, because almost every grand commander has will start a war.”

"If I want to take over the project of 'Black Hawk Incident', what I should be most concerned about is not whether the war will happen, but how to present the incident of 'Black Hawk Down' more objectively, because this kind of movie No matter which angle you shoot, it will cause dissatisfaction on the other side. Telling stories from the angle of the hawks will inevitably offend the doves. Telling stories from the perspective of the doves will definitely make the hawks feel that I am criticizing They, so... that's the hard part of the whole project."

  Roland still didn't tell the truth, but he also told the truth.

  Don’t talk about the distance, let’s talk about the near. Since the 1980s, America’s foreign actions have been continuous.

  In the 1983 Fury Operation, the Grenada armed forces were disarmed in four days.

  The self-defense operation in 1986, when France and Spain refused to open their airspace, refueled in the air and bloodbathed Libya.

  Operation Just Cause in 1989, occupied Panama.

  Operation Desert Shield, Operation Desert Storm and Sea Interdiction from 1990 to 1991 constituted the Gulf War.

In this case, if Roland said to Kate that there is no war, or that war is very difficult to happen, that would be a real lie, because even the radio host knows that as long as America is pulled from the earth Throw it in the trash can...

  The world will be peaceful.

  As for the views of doves and hawks, that is indeed what Roland said to fool Kate.

But before Roland could praise him for his wit, Kate, who had been smiling and waiting for the 'answer', touched his cheek, and continued in a chasing tone: "It turns out that this kind of question makes you have a problem." Troubled?"

   "But how do I feel, if Steven finds out, he might take off his shoes and whip you?"

"Famous French director François Truffaut once said 'some films claim to be anti-war films, but I don't think I've ever seen a real anti-war film, all war films end in pro-war', and you His teacher Steven Spielberg also said that 'all war movies, good or bad, are anti-war movies'."

  “War movies, whether they are anti-war or pro-war, are determined by public opinion.”

  "If capital thinks it is anti-war, it is anti-war. If capital thinks it is pro-war, it is pro-war."

  "If before the release of "Titanic", I might believe what you just said, but now...you are playing public opinion manipulation yourself! Do you think I will believe your words?"

   Okay...

  Women are smarter, men are more uncomfortable.

   As a guy who can find Roland acting for the first time, Kate is not stupid.

  She has always known that Roland has many things to hide from herself, but she doesn't care about these details.

  In life, who doesn't have any secrets?

   Sometimes she doesn't ask, because she doesn't want to ask, but now she wants to ask, because she is really curious, how Roland has made so much money and gained so many relationships through public opinion over the years.

Of course, although she hopes to see that her desire for knowledge is satisfied, if Roland really doesn't answer, she won't cry, make trouble, and go up to Youya, sharpen the soft knife two or three times, and if there is no result, she will give Roland to him. let go.

  However, before Roland made it to the third round, he had already pointed out the key issue.

"Okay~ Actually, what I think is, if the propaganda stage of a war movie repeatedly jumps between the hawks and the doves, is this a bit too arrogant? Will the hawks and the doves join forces? Killed?"

   "Huh?" When this question came out, Kate was stunned.

   "Isn't the propaganda tone of a war movie set from the very beginning?"

   “It’s like Green Beret, which was a film made by the American military in response to the anti-war sentiment in the country.”

   "As for "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Platoon", the initial goal was to attack the pro-war sentiment."

  Kate felt that Roland was a little whimsical, because in the subject matter of war movies, there has never been a thing to please all parties.

  Because filmmakers can embed any positional information they want to convey in the film, but how to let the audience understand the trend, it has to decide the direction from the beginning.

   What's more, if you want to jump repeatedly, there is no such thing as a hawk before a dove.

If the hawk comes before the dove, it means that there was a war first, and the war movie was released, and then the war ended during the release period, and the domestic anti-war sentiment was strong, and then followed the trend of anti-war, but this situation is impossible, because the jump is too much It's abrupt, and since the war has already started, it is impossible to make any pro-war movies. Only anti-war propaganda can make money.

  In this way, there is only one possibility of dove first and then hawk.

   But this...

   "During the release of a war movie, there happened to be a war?"

   "But even if there is a war, I don't think it's a good idea to change the announcement."

  “If you start from the perspective of the doves, then after the war breaks out, it is best to admit that you are unlucky and lose money, because if you switch to the hawks, it will definitely give people the impression of eating blood money.”

"You know, Steven won't get paid for "Schindler's List", because it's really hard to make money for such a subject matter that can be connected with reality; During propaganda, the behavior of manipulating public opinion is too obvious, and it may not matter in the past, but it is a big trouble when it comes to things like war."

   "Because the war was launched, it won in the end, that's okay, but if it is in a stalemate or fails directly, then the hand that manipulated public opinion to make money in the first place will definitely be settled by Qiu Hou."

   "Because at that time, everyone needs a blame, and the guy who dares to stir up public opinion is the best blame."

   "At this time, don't try to find a scapegoat, because the people are not fools, only companies have such power."

   "Well, it seems that you have the same idea as me."

  Looking at the guy who was frowning slightly and thinking seriously, Roland leaned forward with a smile, and kissed him on the cheek.

  Although repeated horizontal jumps can eat human blood steamed buns, the price of reckoning after autumn is too great.

  The business is so big that it is a loss-making business.

   Don't say that if you win "Black Hawk Down" and "September 11 attacks" is released, you can gain the favor of the commander and military personnel, but if something happens, the group of guys who get the vital benefits will not be blamed.

   The only unlucky ones are those who eat human blood steamed buns on the surface.

   It seems that everything Roland thought was very good, and could even replicate the success of "The Shawshank Redemption", but in fact, everything is just a castle in the air, not realistic, the risk is too great, and there is no way to do it.

But just when Roland was about to put away his unrealistic thoughts and say goodbye to the "Black Hawk Down" project, after hearing his affirmative admission, Kate gave him a strange look with her beautiful eyes, "Why don't you Will you suddenly think of such a strange question?"

  But in the next second, when she followed Roland's train of thought, her mind was wide open.

   "However, your idea is quite interesting..."

"If a film company that does not control the media makes a war movie, and then promotes it according to the dove's anti-war thinking, and then encounters a war that is unanimous among the people during the movie's release, then as long as some media deliberately follow that If you publish a few hawkish pro-war propaganda for a war movie that is being released, wouldn’t this film company be able to declare its death?”

   "Because every time after a war, the people will definitely have anti-war sentiments, and at this time, the guy who needs to bear some responsibility for the war, can't he blame the film company?"

   "When the time comes, accuse the film company of deliberately inciting public opinion in order to make money, and once the state machine is activated, it will be trivial to deal with a film company that does not control the media?"

"At that time, no one will care about the truth of the matter, because the commander who launched the war, even if he has the merits after the victory, is not willing to be accused by others, and those military-industrial complexes also want to see that someone has committed crimes against him. Take the blame, so no one will care whether the film company was wronged or not."

   "Because it's dead, it's in everyone's interest."

   "However, if this method is used for a film company that does not control media public opinion, isn't it a bit too wasteful?"

   Grab the grass!

   Hold the grass!

   Hold the grass!

He wanted to carry Kate out of the bathroom, but Roland's eyes widened slowly after finishing the bath, and an unbelievable look shot out from his pupils, and a coldness appeared from the tailbone, along the spine, straight up, and hit Tianling .

  The practice of repeated horizontal jumps can prompt the state machine to kill a film company that does not control media public opinion?

   This, this, this...

   Isn’t this a tailor-made package for Sony!

  Roland, I want to kill Sony.

Ah, no, speaking of art, Roland wanted to tear down Sony in order to help Steven Spielberg, who had given him the greatest support for many years, realize his wish. In this case, he just made a rough plan.

   First of all, holding one of Steve Jobs' thighs and watching him smash Sony Music Entertainment.

  Secondly, holding Bill Gates' thigh, trying to beat Sony Computer Entertainment by monopolizing the game.

  In the end, it was holding Steven Spielberg's thigh, withdrawing the copyright, and watching Sony Pictures Entertainment die slowly.

  However, this plan actually has a big problem.

  That didn't kill Sony.

but!

   Now it's different!

   As long as you find a way to get Sony to invest in the filming of "Black Hawk Down", and find a way to make it released in September 2001, before the "September 11 attacks", it will deal a fatal blow to Sony!

  Before the movie was released, I thought with my ass, I knew that anti-war propaganda should be carried out!

   After the movie was released, they could contact the media and frantically send a pro-war public relations draft to "Black Hawk Down".

  What' forbearance is the tragedy repeating itself! ’, what ‘to retreat is to face death! ’, what ‘The lesson of blood tells us that only by defeating the enemy can we gain peace! ’…Anyway, pro-war rhetoric is doomed!

  As long as the people's war sentiments are incited, then Sony can choose a geomantic treasure and just lie down!

   As for the possibility that the incitement is unsuccessful?

  This kind of problem cannot occur.

  Just imagine, a week ago, the whole of America was showing the **** and shameful movie "Black Hawk Down", and people were reflecting on whether the policy of the Grand Commander was wrong.

   Then a week later, ‘September11attacks’ came out…

   There is no need to instigate the war emotion, it has already risen, okay?

   And in this case, Sony has already taken the blame!

   Then, Roland only needs to move a stool, and shake his legs while eating melon seeds...

  Because after the war, when people's anti-war sentiments arose, a bunch of people would take the initiative to liquidate Sony without him doing it!

  The first to bear the brunt will be Microsoft! As a guy who thinks about monopoly in everything he does, Bill Gates will definitely use this opportunity to label Sony as a big hat for foreign capital to incite public opinion!

   Followed by Warner and Universal! Sony is dead, and Sony Music Entertainment will be free!

   No matter who swallows this piece of fat, there is still a chance to compete!

  Finally, there is the general who likes "Black Hawk Down" very much and the military personnel behind him!

  Even if the war is won, he will give Sony a ride!

  Because he absolutely didn't want to see the fact that his father lost his re-election because of the victory in the war happened to him!

   Now, Sony is responsible for the war, and the victory of the war is due to his leadership, while the economic impact is instigated by Sony!

  When all these guys want Sony to die, then Sony must die!

At this time, Roland, who has always been harmless to humans and animals, felt that he had a chance to go to Carl Icahn and ask them to help and support him. eat it...

  It's like when the DuPont consortium was developing, it invited competitors to take the earth plane directly.

   Roland felt that if he used "Black Hawk Down" well.

   Then a mushroom egg can be buried under Sony's ass.

  Send it directly, spiral up to heaven!

   "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

   "What are you thinking again?"

   Just when Roland was brainstorming and wanted to complete the plan of "Three Swords Dismembering Sony".

  Looking at him in a daze again, Kate directly raised her hand and waved it in front of Roland.

   "Ah...I was wondering how you could have such an amazing idea..."

  This time, because he was happy, Roland didn't show the frightened look he had before, and it was all nonsense.

   After seeing that Roland's emotional smile indeed matched her amazing thoughts, Kate didn't go into it any further. Instead, she rolled her eyes at Roland and said, "Didn't you just joke with me first?"

   "Yes, yes, yes, I was joking first, I was joking first."

   Roland poked his head like a pile driver, kissed Kate on the forehead, and walked out of the bathroom with Kate in his arms.

   And his actions also surprised Kate, "Hey! Don't you even take the bath towel? The bed will be dirty!"

   "It's okay, just open a new room if it gets dirty..."

   "It's very troublesome to open a room!"

   "I don't mind the trouble..."

   "But I don't want to mess around in the middle of the night!"

   "Trust me, I will take care of all this, you don't have to worry about it..."

   "Roland, what happened to you today? I think you are so strange!"

   "Me? Nothing wrong with me? I just think it's a bit too much for me not to say I love you to you all the time?"

   "You! Ugh..."

"…I love you…"

   Note: ① François Truffaut’s statement that “there are no real anti-war films in the world” comes from an interview with the Chicago Tribune in 1973. ②Spielberg's statement that "all war movies, good or bad, are anti-war movies" comes from an interview with "Saving Private Ryan".
