Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

Chapter 398 Hurry up to the west to invite Buddha Luolai!

Japan, Tokyo, Konan, Minato-ku, Sony Headquarters.

When Bush used a national televised speech to announce to the people of the Beacon Country that America officially declared war on the Taliban organization in Afghanistan to avenge those compatriots who lost their lives in the September 11 incident, Sony executives also gathered together , Exploring the road to the future shrouded in fog together.

"What's going on with the movie 'Black Hawk Down'?"

Norio Ohga, who controlled the rhythm in the conference room two years ago, has retired. Now, Nobuyuki Idei, who takes over the baton, controls the overall situation.

As a veteran employee who joined Sony in 1960 and has worked for Sony for more than 40 years, he is already furious at this moment.

Because a month ago, Howard Stringer, chairman and CEO of Sony (USA), reported to him that the destructive power of "Black Hawk Down" was not as great as they had expected.

'Snapped! '

A document was thrown to the center of the table by Nobuyuki Idei.

While the muffled voice burst out, his eyes were fixed on the subordinate who had just flown from the United States.

"On September 10, when you submitted the interim report to me, you made it clear that "Black Hawk Down" is a purely military procurement propaganda film. People from the Ministry told members of the U.S. Congress that the style of modern warfare has been upgraded, and the armaments in the army need to be updated, so that the military enterprises they represent can obtain a large number of orders and sell more products.

At the time, I believed your words.

But now!

"Black Hawk Down" has changed from an arms procurement film to a pre-war mobilization film!

The significance of its existence is no longer to allow military enterprises to obtain a large number of orders, but to guide the public opinion of the entire America!

Do you know how big the gap is between the two!

Did you know that the impact of their changes is completely two orders of magnitude! "

When the roaring sound resounded through the sky, Nobuyuki Idei's eyes were already red, and the veins on his neck burst out with the rising of the voice, and his heavy breathing sounded like a blower, making his chest heave unceasingly.

Sony is no fool.

On the contrary, they are very smart who can use various product changes to control the market under the blockade of the United States.

They knew how ridiculous it would be for a Japanese-funded company to film the shameful history of the United States in the United States, so when they found that they could not avoid it, they tried to solve the whole thing in a cold manner.

Do not participate in the creation from beginning to end, and minimize your own sense of existence.

Do not add the logo of Columbia Pictures or Sony Pictures at the beginning and end of the film, hoping to make the audience who watch the film mistakenly think that this film is a pure documentary.

Even if they encountered the yin and yang of North American film critics during the announcement, they chose to turn a blind eye and listen to it, because only in this way can they fade out of the sight of the North American people as much as possible.

And when everything went according to the expected situation, the film was criticized by the media before it was released, and the number of viewers after the release fell like a blood crash every day, they were actually quite happy in their hearts.

Because as long as no one is paying attention, that means they can get away with it.

At that time, they were still rejoicing that since this was an arms procurement film, as long as the members of Congress felt that the war was extremely tragic after watching it, then the task they were forced to accept at the beginning would be completed.

And now?

The development of things is outrageous!

Seeing that the movie will be released in a week, but before it is released, the nature of the movie has changed?

From an armament procurement film to a pre-war mobilization film?

After doing this, the nature of the matter has changed!

If "Black Hawk Down" is just a military procurement film, then for Sony, they just made a historical documentary that Americans don't like, but when "Black Hawk Down" becomes a pre-war mobilization film, it stands From the perspective of the United States, this is an attempt by foreign capital to interfere in its own internal affairs, which is a violation of the US national security law!

Of course, if it was just such a sudden accident, it would not make Nobuyuki Idei so groggy. What really made him furious was that Howard Stringer, chairman and CEO of Sony (USA), was able to avoid such an accident. It happened, but he didn't try to remedy it!

"Do you know? When the 9/11 incident happened, you could apply for the next file to the North American Theater Alliance?

do you know? If you withdraw the movie, then everything now has nothing to do with us!

do you know? Even if the American people suddenly realize that the Black Hawk incident in 1993 is the root cause for the enemy to forget their fear, but as long as we withdraw "Black Hawk Down", the flames of declaring war will not be able to burn on us? "

When Nobuyuki Idei knocked on the table and loudly accused Howard Stringer of his inaction, the atmosphere in the conference room tended to become infinitely condensed into substance. Almost all Sony executives stared at He can't wait to tear up this guy who missed the perfect opportunity to make up for it, and eat him alive!

Because they don't want to face America's violent institutions!

Because Sony founder Akio Morita reminded them all—

“Americans believe that all countries in the world should do things the American way!”

In this way, if the United States wants to liquidate, it must definitely check it out!

However, when the Sony executives in the meeting room were about to bully him after Nobuyuki Idei finished speaking, and repeatedly condemned Howard Stringer in an attempt to make him admit his mistakes directly, Nobuyuki Idei spit on his face Howard Stringer laughed, looking around helplessly, taking those angry faces into his eyes.

"So... you guys think this is my problem?"

"Then why not? You are fully responsible for this matter!"

"But the problem is that this matter has nothing to do with me, because even if I let the North American Theater Alliance withdraw the file, the flames of the final declaration of war will still spread to us."

"Baga! Do you still want to shirk responsibility until now?"

"I didn't shirk my responsibility!"

"Fuckyou! Aren't you quibbling right now?"

"I have no sophistry!"

"Admitting one's mistakes is the embodiment of no sophistry!"

When the disturbing sounds resounded all around, and a group of Sony executives tried to press Howard Stringer's head to blame him, he, who had been besieged by everyone, finally became angry. He got off the table and shouted loudly: "Enough! You guys who can't see the situation clearly!

Do you think it's my responsibility for "Black Hawk Down" to become a pre-war mobilization film?

I tell you! The current situation, whether you want to see it or not, must exist!

Since you can’t figure it out clearly, let me tell you a little bit!

If the situation develops according to the routine, how many voices should there be in the United States after the September 11 attacks?

Two kinds!

The first type is the voice of revenge from the Elephant Party! 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

As the ruling party, they must direct the public's attention to external enemies!

Only in this way can people think less about the reasons for the attacks!

Cover up their national security lapses!

After all, attacking and discovering the attacker in advance are two different concepts!

The second voice is the voice of accusation from the donkey party!

They should use the media they control to speak out, saying that the attack is related to the paralysis of the Little Bush government, so as to cover up the failure of the Zizton government in Somalia!

Because this can not only publicize the inability of the small bush government to escape to the public, but also strengthen its image in the hearts of supporters!

But now?

Across America, there is only one voice!

Don't you think it's outrageous?

It’s okay to say that NBC, FOX, and CNN, which belong to the Elephant Party camp, waved their flags and shouted for the Elephant Party’s declaration of war, but when the media forces ABC and CBS belonging to the Donkey Party camp are also promoting war, is this situation correct? !

ah (↘↗)? ! ! "

When Howard Stringer yelled out the actual situation at the moment, there was no sound in Sony's conference room.

Everyone stared at him with red eyes, because Howard Stringer said the truth that they couldn't accept.

And just when the corners of Sony's top executives were trembling, trying to find other reasons to refute Howard Stringer's point of view, they returned to China with Howard Stringer, as the president and CEO of Sony Entertainment (USA) Kazuo Hirai also spoke, but compared with his boss, his tone was much gentler.

There is also a lot of helplessness.

"Actually, on the way here, I have already studied the problems with Howard.

After our discussion, we also found the key person involved—

Roland Allen.

If this war is just a matter of the Xiang Party, then the Donkey Party will definitely get in the way, but with the involvement of Roland Allen, the situation has changed from the normal development, because the Donkey Party will And shut up, and the media forces belonging to the donkey party will also shut up because of his existence.

Sound outrageous?

But that's how it is.

And the first thing I want to say is ABC.

ABC is a subsidiary of Disney, and Disney…

Can you not listen to Roland Allen now?

First of all, it is an unfinished transaction in 1998.

When Roland Allen bought the Oscar trophy, he reached a cooperation agreement with Disney on the "Lord of the Rings" project, and this movie will be released at the end of this year. Their relationship was already in the honeymoon period;

Secondly, this year's outsourcing contract.

When California Adventure got off to a bad start, Roland Allen took the initiative to take over the live-action film business of Disney Pictures to help them with their performance. When this happens, who is the real boss?

If these two points still can’t make Roland Allen the father of Disney, then when Disney’s animated film income is completely dependent on Pixar animation, and the actual controllers of Pixar animation Steve Jobs and Roland Allen are in Apple. On the one hand, the situation of wearing a pair of trousers is in front of us?

Not only that, but there is also Berkshire Hathaway in Disney's list of major shareholders, and Roland Allen is not only the major shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, but also owns the personal brand 'RandK' It only absorbed the capital of Berkshire Hathaway. In this case, is there a problem with the ABC station?

When Roland Allen intervenes in the film and television business and park business of the front desk, and the shareholder relationship behind it is not as close as Roland Allen, isn't the partisan position just empty words? ABC will not help the donkey party to raise the flag and will not go bankrupt immediately, but if ABC backstabs Roland Allen at this time, then Michael Eisner must step down! "

When Kazuo Hirai said this, the atmosphere in the meeting room was already numb.

The anger attached to Sony's top management before is gone, replaced by the helplessness of falling to the bottom.

And when Kazuo Hirai's eyes swept over them slowly, the words that made them feel even colder, like an ice knife, continued to pierce their hearts, "After talking about ABC, the next one is CBS.

The reason why CBS does not speak out at this time is actually very simple.

Because they were acquired by Viacom last year, they are still in the stage of strategic integration. When the business is not cleared up and the future acquisition is uncertain, there is no need for them to stand in line.

If this reason is not as tenable as Disney’s rhetoric, then the identities of Viacom’s boss Summer Redstone and Roland Allen’s teacher Steven Spielberg can actually explain everything question.

As a Jew, the reason they fall to the donkey party is purely because the tendency of the donkey party can bring them more living space, and chaos can allow them to find more opportunities!

In the past few decades, when their Jewish goal has not wavered, will Summer-Redstone stand as a donkey at this time? He wished that Roland Allen, who had been standing with Steven Spielberg, could make things bigger!

So, it is actually a reasonable choice for them to endorse "Black Hawk Down". "

If it is said that Kazuo Hirai’s previous analysis of Disney made Sony executives feel the cold, then now, when everyone has listened to his analysis of Viacom, the fear that arises spontaneously makes their hands and feet cold.

Because all the media in the United States are now on the side of Roland Allen!

One person influences a country's media?

This **** is outrageous!

"So, do you think that even if we withdraw "Black Hawk Down", they will still create a suitable environment for the small bushes by diverting their attention?"

"But isn't the media monopoly in this practical sense handed over to the donkey party?"

"Even though Roland Allen doesn't own any shares in a media company."

Sony executives spoke.

However, as soon as these words came out, Kazuo Hirai and Howard Stringer turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and laughed.

It's just that their smiles are uglier than crying.

"The donkey party will not catch him, at least not for now."

Howard Stringer shook his head and said: "If you think it is exaggerated enough to handle ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, and NBC at the same time, then I would say that what is even more exaggerated is the active silence of the donkey party."

Before the words fell, Kazuo Hirai went on to say: "Before, during the Zipperton administration, the largest black parade in history broke out in the United States, and at that time, Roland Allen used "The Shawshank Redemption" to cover up that incident.

The racial conflicts that should have been stimulated were interpreted by them as the negligence of law enforcement officers with "The Shawshank Redemption", and after the guy who arrested Simpson was arrested, civil unrest disappeared from the states.

Similarly, when the zipper door exploded, the public's attention was also distracted by "Titanic".

The key to the Zipper Gate is Zipperton’s perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power, not his pornographic news.

But after "Titanic" swept the global box office and Roland Allen proposed to Kate Winslet at the Oscars, Zipper Doors became pure **** news.

The public will only think that he and Rowland Allenby are representatives of disloyalty, but this trend of public opinion allows him to get away easily, because pornographic news is not illegal, but obstruction of justice, perjury, and abuse of power are illegal.

With Roland Allen assisting two games in a row, there is absolutely no need for the current donkey party to jump out to find the elephant party's unhappiness in the face of such a general situation, and when Roland Allen may be involved, they are even more It's not going to hurt the guy who holds his own. That's why people feel that 9/11 left America with only one voice.

But this kind of thinking is actually wrong, because the real situation is...

With eight industries spanning military industry, finance, and media, Roland Allen makes America have only one voice!

Don’t forget, Carl Icahn, Ronald Perelman, and Roland Allen are also in the same group, and they are backed by the American Teachers’ Retirement Fund, which is in charge of all teacher pensions in the United States. And the largest public retirement fund in the United States by assets, the California Public Servants Retirement Fund that provides pensions and health benefits to nearly two million California civil servants! "

"Hiss..."

When Kazuo Hirai's voice fell, the temperature in Sony's conference room dropped sharply!

For a long time, Sony has regarded Roland Allen, the leg-hugging king in the capital circle, as an object that cannot be provoked, but until now, they have really cleared up Roland Allen's circle of friends!

The former commander-in-chief and the donkey party were held by him?

Finding that the commander-in-chief and the elephant party are about to be held by him?

If these two points can already make him walk sideways in the United States, then he should represent the various media groups in Hollywood, the world's largest software service provider and the world's largest aircraft manufacturer in Seattle, and the technology companies in Silicon Valley. The company, when it represents the leading fund company on Wall Street, when the Oracle of Omaha, representing the investment community, is dropping down one after another...

The dust raised is enough to drown Sony!

Although capital has no friends, the problem is that Roland Allen knows how to share profits!

If people couldn’t understand why Roland Allen half-sold and half-sold the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" to those media stations before, then everyone understands now!

Donkey party is more important than money!

If people didn’t understand why Roland Allen would rather lose money than sell Yahoo to Microsoft before, and he also wanted to bring the greedy Wolf King with him, now they understand better!

Microsoft, Boeing, and General Motors are not good?

American Teachers' Retirement Fund, California Public Employees Retirement Fund, isn't he popular?

Bill Gates, isn’t his father who can reach out to the Supreme Court of the United States not fragrant?

If it was said that Sony couldn’t understand why Howard Stringer said that the flames of war that “Black Hawk Down” became a pre-war mobilization movie will eventually burn on Sony, then everyone understands now!

What is the separation of powers that restrict each other?

That's just your hand, it's not long enough!

Although the capital is all in a group, there is really no capital that can keep a group as shamelessly as Roland Allen!

"Why…"

Nobuyuki Idei, who finally calmed down, let out a sigh.

Following Kazuo Hirai's analysis, the anger in his heart has been extinguished.

"So, as Japanese capital, we are just guys who were unintentionally affected by Roland Allen who wanted to win over the elephant party?"

The words of prayer make this company, which is over fifty years old, look very old.

And just when Nobuyuki Idei hoped that God would bless Sony, Howard Stringer, who was angered by him earlier, punctured his fantasy, sneered, and said: "From the current situation, it is indeed like this, or It is said that if the United States can directly flatten Afghanistan like the previous Gulf War, then "Black Hawk Down" will only become a mobilization myth.

but-

If the war in Afghanistan fails, or if the United States is dragged into the quagmire of war by Taliban militants, then in the case of a protracted war, anti-war sentiment will inevitably erupt in the United States, and by that time...

The guy who made "Black Hawk Down" is out of luck.

The irrationality in the current public opinion will become the guidance of public opinion created by the producers of "Black Hawk Down" in order to grab profits, and when this kind of sign appears, the scapegoat for instigating the war, can we Sony escape? ?

Kill Sony, get tens of billions, and the money will be returned to the treasury. The war is going on for three years! "

"Shua!"

When Sony executives heard Howard Stringer's inhumane words, everyone's faces turned pale instantly!

They can understand the meaning of Howard Stringer, and they also know that throwing pot is a traditional art skill in the United States!

If it is said that before they only felt that the guidance of public opinion that violated the US national security law would only peel off their skin at most, because they did not do these things at all, but now...

Roland Allen thought they did it, then they really did it!

The profitable elephant party will not speak for them!

The media group that wears a pair of pants with Roland Allen will not speak for them!

Owing favors to Roland Allen, the donkey party who was caught by him will not speak for them!

As for the Federal Supreme Court, which can affect the judgment?

hehe…

Nobuyuki Idei suddenly woke up with a chill down his spine!

He who was still sitting on the chair jumped up in an instant!

Because he remembered Sony's behavior of setting Roland Allen before!

And when those scenes appeared in front of his eyes, the roar that pierced the sky made his face even more hideous——

"Quick! Go to America! Go to California!! Go to Los Angeles!! Go to Roland Allen!!!"

Note: ① The position of the five major US broadcasting and television networks is a very complicated issue. Their positions are changing all the time depending on the capital they control. To give the simplest example, when NBC is in the hands of GM, it is The sounding machine of the Iron Elephant Party, but when GM sold NBC to Comcast, or it was controlled by the Jews, it directly leaned towards the Donkey Party. The same is true for CNN, when it was controlled by Ted Turner, who made his fortune by relying on the Elephant Party, he was a **** Elephant Party (CNN's famous work is to report the assassination of Reagan, and that is the news sold to them by the Elephant Party, Not only that, during the Gulf War, only CNN could broadcast front-line news. The reason given at the time was that their technology was the most advanced, but in fact, the signals of the other three were directly cut off by the US military. This is Ted Turner’s support for Bush Sr. The greatest benefits obtained after taking office, so the merger of AOL and Time Warner was blocked by the Clinton administration for a year just for approval, but with Bush Jr. coming to power, the merger was directly released by them), but when Time Warner was After the acquisition of Telephone and Telegraph, they naturally used CNN to support the donkey party after they expanded wildly during the donkey party's administration. ②The words of Akio Morita written in the article were indeed said by him himself. People have already seen through the old beauty's coat.
