Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Do the Right Thing" is a movie that Spike Lee shot before. Seeing that they didn't believe it, Spike took a copy of the movie and played it in Ronald's house.

"Hmm..."

Ronald stopped talking.

This movie is simply a prophecy of the riots in Los Angeles. It's just that the story is set in northern Brooklyn, New York.

A black man has a Latina girlfriend who makes money by delivering takeout in a pizza shop run by Italians. Because the previous generation of Italians moved out of the Italian community after getting rich, the jobs here are occupied by those who came later, blacks and Latinos.

However, most of the detectives of the NYPD are white people, mainly Irish, and they discriminate against Italians, blacks and Latinos equally.

While Italians are discriminated against by whites, they also discriminate against blacks. Latinos are discriminated against by all of the above, but they also discriminate against Koreans who came later.

Because the pizza shop's wall of honor is full of Italian celebrities, the black man hopes that the owner can replace some blacks. For this reason, a black man and the owner's son had a conflict. Their conflict spread to the streets, and was discovered by an Irish detective, who "controlled" the black man on the spot.

This is because they subconsciously believed that the black man was the culprit, and black people have always been very resistant to the NYPD, and many police attacks have occurred. So the white detective took a heavy hand and "controlled" the suspect by strangling his neck. Because of excessive force, the black man unfortunately died.

This incident caused public outrage in the black community, and they went to the pizza shop to seek justice for the black man (but they did not dare to find the detective who caused the incident). Because the blacks could not believe that the Italian owner was innocent (black people might not want to believe it), they set fire to the pizza shop and looted all the property in the shop during the chaos.

Isn't this what is happening in Los Angeles now? The racial conflict between blacks and whites that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be resolved in just 20 years since the civil rights movement, and the oppression of blacks by whites is also visible to everyone with a discerning eye.

When the blacks could no longer bear it and started to revolt, the whites did not have enough power to maintain order. At this time, the latecomers like Koreans would be thrown out as scapegoats, which not only satisfied the blacks' need to vent, but also ensured that the whites' wealthy areas would not be affected by the limited police force.

"The Great President George made a televised speech on the situation in Los Angeles..."

Ronald was still thinking about what Spike Lee had said to him. For a moment, he had no answer. Unknowingly, he stayed in the chair until noon, and the voice of old George came from the TV.

"I will not tolerate anarchy. I have spoken to the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles. The top priority is to restore order. I have authorized the soldiers of the National Guard to enter Los Angeles..."

"Ronnie..." Diane saw Ronald staring blankly without saying a word, and was a little sad. She made him a cup of instant coffee.

"Thank you..." Ronald could no longer taste the quality of coffee. Hollywood is the weaver of American dreams. How many of the stories that happened on the glamorous screen are real, and how many evil and dark things are buried?

"Lack of law enforcement has forced the civilians of Goryeo City to organize their own armed security teams, mainly composed of shop owners, to defend their businesses from mob attacks.

Those people standing on the roof of the supermarket, holding guns and tying cloth strips on their heads, these "Goreans on the roof" had military experience before they immigrated.

Oh my God, there is still a firefight here..."

The news showed footage of Koreans and blacks exchanging fire on the street, with the sounds of M1 carbines, mini-submachine guns, shotguns and pistols coming one after another, and a group of armed robbers on the opposite side. After the exchange of fire, there was a lot of rubbish left on the ground, several blacks lying on the ground motionless, and a Korean youth fell to the ground and died in the telephone booth next to him...

"Are you okay?" Ronald called Niceta and Richard.

"The situation is quite bad. Several gun stores were attacked last night. About two thousand guns and an unknown number of bullets were lost... We are all trapped in CAA and dare not go out..."

Richard's side was also in a panic, and many agents also ran away with the stars they served.

"Don't worry, the child is with me, there are many toys for him to play with here..."

At night, the situation was still a mess. The two thousand National Guard soldiers dispatched by President George Sr. lent their weapons to law enforcement agencies because they believed the Los Angeles mayor's assurance that there would be no large-scale riots at the beginning.

So these soldiers didn't even have guns, and had to go to the nearby military base to get new equipment before they could move in.

The large-scale riots of black people have not stopped, and the Korean city is still on the verge of a war. Celebrities and wealthy people are still fleeing in large numbers, but now they have to go around a big detour on the sea before they can fly back to the mainland, and the approval procedures are very slow.

Seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, black celebrities and civil rights leaders are getting a little impatient. Robbing two Korean-owned grocery stores is a small matter, and law enforcement officers turned a blind eye to it. Now the city's big riots, if they break through the cordon formed by the law enforcement team, it will be a big problem. At that time, the revenge of white people will be fierce and ruthless, and these older black people still have memories left over from the apartheid period.

"I ask everyone to stop rioting, stay at home, don't go to the streets. Mothers, sisters, dissuade your sons, brothers, husbands, let them stay at home. The Cosby family, who have been with you for many years, will broadcast the last episode , everyone must stay at home and watch more of my TV series..."

Bill Cosby is a famous black comedy star, singer, and actor. He has a TV series named after himself, The Cosby Family.

This TV series aired its first season in 1985 and won the ratings championship that year. It was the sitcom that once again gained the most attention in years. The biggest difference between this series and other series is that Cliff Huxtable, played by Cosby, comes from a black upper-middle-class family.

His wife is a lawyer, and his children are not as well educated as the stereotyped black children. Huxtable is also not like a traditional black father, but he is reasoning with his children, not like a black man, but like a white man.

This kind of drama, coupled with Bill Cosby's funny skills, is not only loved by black people, but also many white viewers. It could be said that "family ties" and "growing pains" are added together and then replaced with a black version.

Coincidentally, tonight is the final episode of the long-running hit series, and Bill Cosby is using it to show that the black community is not all in favor of violence.

Los Angeles passed through another day of chaos. On the third day, the commander-in-chief could no longer tolerate the incompetence of the Los Angeles mayor and PD chief. He personally held a conference call with the two idiots, and then forced the mayor to follow the procedures and apply for federal assistance.

Then he asked the justices to dig out the 1807 antique law "Rebellion Act" from the old papers... and issued an executive order. When the governor was unable to suppress it, the general would federalize the National Guard and the army, and then At the invitation of the governor, he entered the country to quell the rebellion.

According to the law, the military and National Guard cannot take action domestically to protect the rights of citizens. However, this ancient law was promulgated in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China when there was a pro-British rebellion. It was difficult for the commander-in-chief to find a basis for himself from an ancient law that was nearly two hundred years old.

“I condemn the random terror and lawlessness that is happening right now in Los Angeles. I have discussed it with Mayor Bradley and Governor Wilson, and have been invited by them to offer federal assistance.

We urgently need to restore order. Thug brutality will not be tolerated and I will use any force necessary to do so. "

The commander-in-chief gave another televised speech the next night, clearly annoyed by Los Angeles' incompetence and taking matters into his own hands, which had brought America to embarrassment.

"My grandchildren and I are talking about this, and the actions of the kind and upright LAPD, as well as civil rights leaders, show that we are united in restoring order.

As for the Rodney King case, the direct cause of this horror, I have directed the Department of Justice to reopen the investigation, a grand jury operation is underway, and justice will be served.

Tonight, I ask every American citizen to begin praying. Pray that the terror will end soon, that racial discrimination against black people, discrimination against Jews, and discrimination against any race will be eliminated, and that our descendants will live in a better world... God bless America! "

"Why do we need to include Jews? Shouldn't we oppose discrimination against Koreans?" Ronald felt that the Jews were so powerful in the media that even the commander-in-chief had to express their attitude. At the same time, he also felt that the commander-in-chief was already very angry. His rivals, Arkansas Governor Bill and former California Governor Brown, have both spoken out, saying that the slowdown at the federal level is the main reason for the expansion of the crisis.

Not only did the mayor step aside and accept the case directly, but he also ignored America's practice of never judging a case twice and directly asked the federal Department of Justice to reopen the investigation of the LAPD detectives who beat Rodney King.

Once the grand jury goes to trial, it is equivalent to reopening a case from the federal judicial system on a civil rights level and forcefully sending these white police detectives to prison.

"The Americas Post Office has announced that it is unsafe for postal carriers in the Los Angeles area to deliver mail. The public is asked to go to major post offices to pick up their mail."

All public services throughout Los Angeles have been suspended, and even the most basic telephone calls and emails have encountered difficulties. No phone repairman or postman dares to go out at this time.

The client who was the biggest cause of the riots, Rodney King, was also called out on TV. He held an impromptu press conference in front of his law firm. He was so frightened that he burst into tears and could only say one sentence:

"Everyone, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?"

…

Apparently, whites and blacks can live in harmony. Especially after the 2,000 soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division from Fort Ord and the 1,500 soldiers of the 1st Marine Division from Camp Pendleton entered Los Angeles in full force.

This is the first time that military soldiers have participated in urban security since the riots in Washington DC in 1968 after the assassination of Martin Luther King...

The army's style was more vigorous and resolute. After joining with thousands of National Guards, more than 10,000 soldiers established an isolation zone in Koryo City and the city center where the riots were most severe, and then launched an armed attack on the thugs who were still looting without any brains.

Those black people have developed a tactic in the past two days. They first hit the isolation belt with cars, then gun-toting thugs rushed into stores or office buildings, and finally an army of "zero dollar shoppers" came in and looted all the property.

But the young men of the Marine Corps, equipped with light armor, happily practiced anti-impact operations and killed several thugs who drove into them.

In addition, in Compton, a city with many black people, a black man kidnapped his wife and children. The LAPD asked the Marine Corps boys to cover him. Unexpectedly, the Marine Corps' definition of "cover" is completely different from that of the LAPD. After firing hundreds of bullets, the black man was frightened into insanity and was dragged out of the smashed house by the LAPD, along with his wife and children. Miraculously survived the shooting.

Another day passed and the situation improved significantly. Richard's twice-daily safety calls also said that except for going to the post office to pick up letters and being protected by soldiers while queuing up, calm has returned to many places. But the food in supermarkets has been sold out, and they can only survive on packaged food and coffee.

Jesse Jackson, the leader of the black civil rights movement and one of the Donkey Party primary candidates in the last presidential election, also entered Koryo City and met with Korean leaders there to urge African Americans and Korean Americans to Community ends hostility.

The situation is getting better day by day, and the mayor of Los Angeles also announced on TV that a week after the unfortunate tragedy, the curfew will be lifted, the military will withdraw, and the National Guard will stay to help restore order.

Ronald is also preparing to return to Los Angeles. His two movie shooting plans have been interrupted and he has suffered heavy losses. He has to go back to clean up the mess.

Tom Cruise also returned to New York with Kidman, taking Ronald's special plane back.

"I said, what magical magic do you have? Can you tell me too? If it's not convenient, we can cooperate and you can use it on me?"

On the plane, Cruise deliberately sat next to Ronald and asked him in a low voice.

"What magic?" Ronald was inexplicable. Wasn't his old friend a believer in Scientology and hallucinating?

"I understand, it's not convenient for you to say. But I really want to get an Oscar. If that doesn't work, I can also be nominated... I'll be responsible for all the resources, and you can use your magic. How about? The profits can be split in half..."

"Paula..." Ronald turned around and called Paula Wagner who was chatting with her children. Is her number one client mentally abnormal?

"Now there are rumors in Hollywood that you have the secret to win the Olympics. You have won the best movie for two consecutive years, and this time the five major awards. Actors all say that they can win awards as long as they work with you." Paula Wagner Looking at Ronald, he was actually a little envious.

"What secret do I have? It's just the quality of the movie itself, coupled with the changing tastes of the judges who happened to catch up with the social trend..." Ronald briefly talked about the criticism of Indians encountered in Dances with Wolves The reflective thoughts, and the rival plot of Silence of the Lambs are too exaggerated.

Both Cruise and Paula were dubious, and Paula said: "Isn't there any other secret?"

"It's not a secret, it's magic, magic..." Cruise corrected, fearing that Ronald would be unhappy.

"When it comes to secrets and magic, there is also a point. A certain prophet once said that if the mountain does not obey your call, then you have to go to the other side of the mountain..."

Ronald felt that both of them were a little confused, so he explained his idea of ​​sending the video tape. It’s impossible to keep this method secret anyway, everyone will do it next year.

"That's it? Isn't that what it is?" Cruise punched his palm and made a loud sound. If I had used this trick back then, would it have been "Rain Man" and "The Color of Money" that made Das Dinh Hoffman, along with Paul Newman, the two best actors, might also win a statuette for Best Supporting Actor.

"The key is the quality of the film and a little bit of luck..." Ronald emphasized. If you also send a videotape next year, don't blame me if you don't get nominated.

After a long flight, the Gulfstream plane finally landed at Los Angeles Airport. This is an important protection target, and soldiers wearing National Guard uniforms are still standing guard here.

Ronald and others saluted them, and the soldiers were very excited to see Tom Cruise and saluted in response.

"Hey, what's he doing here?" Ronald discovered that there was a tall, handsome man on the other side of the airport. He was his old acquaintance, Mr. Bill, the governor of Arkansas...
