Chapter 453: Ronald’s secret to winning the Olympics
"Do the Right Thing" was a movie previously shot by Spike Lee. Seeing that they didn't believe it, Spike took a copy of the movie and played it at Ronald's house.
"Um……"
Ronald stopped talking.
This movie is simply a prediction of the riots that took place in Los Angeles. It just changed the location of the story to northern Brooklyn, New York.
A black man has a Latino girlfriend who makes money by delivering food at a pizza shop owned by Italians. Because the previous generation of Italians moved out of the Italian ghetto after becoming rich, the jobs here were occupied by the blacks and Latinos who came later.
However, the majority of NYPD detectives are white people of Irish descent, and they discriminate equally against Italians, blacks and Latinos.
While Italians were discriminated against by white people, they also discriminated against black people. Latinos were discriminated against by all of the above, but they also discriminated against the Koreans who came later.
Because the pizzeria's wall of honor was full of Italian celebrities, the black people hoped that the owner could replace it with some black people. For this reason, a black man had a conflict with the owner's son. Their conflict spread to the streets, and they were arrested by the Irish police.
The detective discovered that he "controlled" the black man on the spot.
This is because they subconsciously believed that black people were the perpetrators, and black people have always been very resistant to the NYPD and had many attacks on the police. So the white police detective took a heavy hand and used chokeholds to "control"
Suspect. Because of excessive force, the black man died unfortunately.
This incident aroused outrage in the black community. They went to the pizza shop to seek justice for the black people (but they did not dare to go to the police detective who caused the accident). Because the black people could not believe that the Italian shop owner was innocent (the black people may not
Believe it or not), he set fire to the pizza shop and took advantage of the chaos to loot all the belongings in the shop.
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 twenty years since the civil rights movement, and the oppression of blacks by whites can also be seen by anyone with a clear eye.
When black people cannot bear it anymore and start resisting, and white people don’t have enough power to maintain order, latecomers like Koreans will be thrown out as scapegoats. This not only satisfies the black people’s need to vent, but the limited police force can also ensure
Rich white areas will not be affected.
"Commander George made a televised speech on the events in Los Angeles..."
Ronald was still thinking about what Spike Lee said to him, and he had no answer for a while. 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 with the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles. The top priority is to restore order. I have authorized National Guard soldiers to station in Los Angeles..."
"Ronnie..." Diane felt a little sad when she saw Ronald sitting there in a daze without saying a word, so she made him a cup of instant coffee.
"Thank you..." Ronald could no longer taste the quality of the coffee. Hollywood is the weaver of American dreams. How many of the stories that happen on the glossy screen are real, and how many are sinful and dark?
Is something buried?
"Weak law enforcement has forced Koryo City civilians to organize their own armed security forces, composed mainly of shopkeepers, to defend their businesses from mob attacks.
Those standing on the roof of the supermarket were armed with guns and had their heads tied with cloth strips. These "Korean people on the roof" had served in the military before immigrating.
Oh my gosh, there's still a firefight going on here..."
The news showed shots of Koreans and blacks exchanging fire on the street. The sounds of M1 carbines, mini submachine guns, shotguns and pistols were heard one after another. Opposite was a group of armed robbers. After the exchange of fire, there was a lot of rags on the ground, and several blacks.
Lying on the ground motionless, there was a Korean young man lying dead on the ground in the phone booth next to him...
"Are you okay?" Ronald called Niceta and Richard.
"The situation is quite bad. Several gun shops were shot last night, and about two thousand guns and an unknown number of bullets were lost... We are all trapped in CAA and dare not go out..."
People on Richard's side were also panicked, and many agents also ran away with the stars they served.
"Don't worry, the child is with me and there are many toys for him to play with..."
At night, the situation was still a mess. The 2,000 National Guard soldiers mobilized by General George Sr. initially believed in the mayor of Los Angeles's assurance that large-scale riots would not occur, so they lent them their weapons.
law enforcement agencies.
So these soldiers didn't even have guns, and had to go to a nearby military base to get new equipment before they could move in.
The large-scale black riots have not stopped, Koryo City is still tense, and celebrities and wealthy people are still fleeing in large numbers, but now they have to make a long detour over 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 a little bit uneasy now. Robbery of a grocery store owned by two Koreans is a trivial matter, and the law enforcement officers turned a blind eye and passed it by. Now the whole city's
If a major riot breaks through the cordon formed by law enforcement teams, there will be a big problem. At that time, the white people will retaliate fiercely and ruthlessly. These older black people still have memories of 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 chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! 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 many years. This
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 not like the traditional black father, but he reasons with his children and does not
Looks like a black man, but looks like a white man.
This kind of drama, coupled with Bill Cosby's comedy skills, is not only loved by black people, but also many white viewers. It can 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 went 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 apply according to the procedures.
Federal assistance.
Then he asked the justices to dig out the 1807 antique law "Rebellion Law" 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 went to the country to quell the rebellion.
According to the law, the army and the National Guard must protect the rights of citizens and cannot take action domestically. However, this ancient law was promulgated in the early days of the founding of the country when there was a pro-British rebellion. The commander-in-chief could learn from it nearly two hundred years ago.
It is still very difficult to find a basis for yourself in the old antique law.
"I condemn the random terror and lawlessness that is happening in Los Angeles right now. 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, mob 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, apparently annoyed by Los Angeles' incompetence, and took matters into his own hands, which had brought shame to America.
"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 terror, 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 start 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 his attitude. At the same time, he also felt that the commander-in-chief was already very angry. He
Rival Arkansas Governor Bill and former California Governor Brown have both spoken out, saying that slowness at the federal level is the main reason for the expansion of the crisis.
This time, not only did the mayor put the mayor aside and accept it 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 America Post Office announces 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 mail."
All public services in Los Angeles have been suspended, and even the most basic telephone calls and mails have encountered difficulties. There are no telephone repairmen or postmen who dare 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 live in harmony?"
…
Obviously, whites and blacks can live in harmony. Especially the two thousand soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division from Fort Ord and the 1,500 soldiers of the 1st Marine Division from Camp Pendleton, all in full uniform.
After the armed forces entered Los Angeles.
This is the first time since the riots in Washington DC after the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968 that military soldiers have participated in urban security...
The army's style was more vigorous and resolute. After joining thousands of National Guardsmen, 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-wielding thugs rushed into stores or office buildings, and finally an army of "zero-dollar shopping" went 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 against them.
In addition, in Compton, a city with a large number of black people, a black man kidnapped his wife and children. The LAPD asked the Marines to provide cover. Unexpectedly, the Marines’ definition of “cover” was completely different from that of the LAPD. After a few shots were fired,
After hundreds of bullets were fired, the black man was so frightened that he lost his mind and was dragged out of the smashed house by the LAPD. His wife and children miraculously survived the shooting.
Another day passed, and the situation obviously improved. Richard called twice a day to report safety. He also said that except for going to the post office to pick up letters and being protected by soldiers in the queue, many places had returned to calm. It was just food in the supermarket.
Everything was sold out, and they could only survive on packaged food and coffee.
Jesse Jackson, the leader of the black civil rights movement and one of the primary candidates of the Donkey Party in the last presidential election, also entered Koryo City and met with the Korean leaders there to urge African Americans and Korean Americans
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 wants 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 for advice 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 will be responsible for all the resources, and you can use your magic. How about? The profit can be divided 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, I 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 plot of The Silence of the Lambs' rivals 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 one 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 crazy, so he explained his idea of sending the videotape. Anyway, this method cannot be kept secret, and 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 the video tape 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...
