The tall, gray-haired former governor also saw them and came over to greet them warmly.
"do you remember me?"
Ronald was surprised that even if a big star like Tom Cruise was a behind-the-scenes figure in the film industry, how could the governor call his name so naturally and enthusiastically?
"E on, you saved my image during the last election... How could I forget you, Ronald..." Mr. Governor smiled broadly, and a well-dressed black man behind him was in his ear.
Whisper..."Lee, Ronald Lee, Director, Oscar Best Picture, Silence of the Lambs, Producer."
"Director Li, your Silence of the Lambs is really great. The key part, God, scared me..."
"And you, Tom, your Top Gun is so great. Oh, was it directed by Ronald? You know that although my wife and I like to watch movies, like most movie fans, we can't remember the director's
name……"
"Ha, that's very common, as long as you like my movies..."
Ronald couldn't help but feel that this man was really charming. He was not afraid of exposing his ugliness, and his natural conversation made people feel close to him.
"I'm going to the area where the riots occurred to communicate with the people. Will you come with me?" The governor was very slippery and took the opportunity to invite two big stars to go with him to Koryo City to express condolences to the people.
His primary opponent within the party, the most popular is former California Governor Brown, and his opponent in the general election is of course the sitting leader in the White House. Their advantage is really too great. Los Angeles is Brown’s home field, and the leader can adjust
All kinds of resources came to rescue him, but he really had no chance of winning...
But the more times like this, the more you have to make your voice heard in the media. As a candidate who has not yet obtained the qualifications, you have done what the leader should do in advance. This matter will be forgotten no matter what.
The black community and the Korean community have gained favor...
"Oh, sorry, I just came back with my wife and children. The children are very sleepy. I have to settle them first..."
"Of course, my wife is happy and my life is happy. We all have to rely on our wives to take good care of us..." The governor certainly understood that Ronald did not want to waste time on an unpopular candidate, and ended the conversation with a southern saying.
.
"Jesus Christ, this man is an actor..." Cruise smelled the scent of his peers from the governor.
"He reminds me of the old Ronald before me..." Paula Wagner answered. The governor was very attentive when listening to people, and never made anyone feel left out. This kind of charm can be said in the circle of women
is very popular.
"And it's a younger version..." Ronald also felt the energy that this person brought to people in just a few minutes. Maybe in this Los Angeles riot incident, the most powerful thing can be learned from the media.
It was he who benefited from it.
"Should I donate some money to him?" Ronald thought to himself.
…
On that day, scenes of the governor's interactions with blacks, Koreans, Latinos and other lower-class people in the area where the riots were most severe in Los Angeles were featured on a local TV program on Channel 5.
"We need jobs, real jobs."
"We need a safe community. There are too many drug dealers here, and children don't have a safe environment..."
"Actions speak louder than words. We don't want more promises, we need more actions to end racial hatred against Asians..."
"I promise you that if I become president, one of my top priorities will be to bring you change. I started in politics in Arkansas and I have been a change maker every time. You start with me.
This can be seen in the slander against me by my campaign opponents..."
"Hahaha, we like you and your wife... You were so handsome on CBS's 60 Minutes... I believe in you, we all believe in you..." The black aunt grabbed the governor's sleeve and shouted cheerfully.
laugh.
Several leading immigrants from Koryo City were showing the governor around the destroyed office and commercial buildings, pointing to the bullet holes and scorch marks on the walls. This video did not have the original audio, but
Judging from the expressions of the Koreans, the governor's words satisfied them very much.
…
Ronald sincerely admired that there are very few politicians who can have such direct and real communication with voters and clearly explain what they want to do. Moreover, the governor's charm is also very strong. After losing this time, he also
You may not be able to become a senator...you still have to find someone to quietly donate money to him.
The governor's campaign is really financially strapped, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Los Angeles just to be on camera for free when the East Coast primary was about to be held.
The reason here is that everyone thinks that the governor will be the candidate of the Donkey Party this term, because no one wants to challenge a general who ended the Cold War, won the war in Iraq, and whose world reputation reached the highest point after World War II.
.
Therefore, although the governor won most of the southern states in the previous Super Tuesday primaries, the donations he received were still very tight, so that many places had no money to hold primary elections. No one wanted to fund a candidate who was bound to lose.
candidate.
On NBC's Saturday Night Live, the comedy hosts also dressed up as potential gubernatorial candidates and each stated why they were not suitable to run for office.
The governor of Tennessee’s reason was that it was inconvenient for him to leave his son who was in a car accident. The senator of Delaware’s reason was that the people in his hometown needed his services more. The one who played Governor Cuomo of New York was even more funny, starting from a
Got a little note from the Godfather lookalike... don't run.
The election seemed to be lost, and former California Governor Jerry Brown challenged the governor of Arkansas by opening a donation call. Donations for the governor of Arkansas were really tight, and they had no choice but to go all out and go into debt.
To survive to the end, as long as you get nominated by the Donkey Party Congress, you can get help from the Donkey Party machine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Ronald entrusted his cousin Donna to donate to the governor's camp in New York, which really means giving help in times of need...
"I didn't expect to have such friends in Manhattan to help us..." The governor's wife was very touched when she received the check. She didn't believe that a young woman like Donna could spend so much money. She was not an elder in the family.
I wanted her to come to practice, but my boyfriend wanted to help but it was inconvenient. So Madam was trying to insinuate the person behind Donna.
"It's my cousin. He met your husband at the Los Angeles Airport. He admired your husband's performance in the Asian community and the black community. He believed that he was an outlier among current politicians and could truly bring changes to the country.
,Plus, here’s my check.”
Donna hinted at Ronald's identity and asked her to ask her husband. Then she took out a check donated on her behalf. Although the money was much less than Ronald's, it was her own money.
"I support you. Your performance on 60 Minutes is very good. I appreciate what you do for your husband. You are also great and very photogenic. We need more women like you to come out to join politics in the future..."
"This? I want to thank you on behalf of my husband..." The governor's wife did not expect that someone would directly acknowledge her, so she said this thank you very seriously.
…
"My first priority after coming back to Washington DC this time is to pass a bipartisan proposal to provide immediate help here and help the people who are most in need here..."
In comparison, the Commander-in-Chief's visit to Los Angeles seemed very official. If someone else had read the lines, I believe no one would understand what he was talking about.
He only had a few casual conversations with bureaucrats on the street, then walked up and down a building, and immediately ended his "flash visit" to Los Angeles. He didn't even see the South Korean delegation that came specially to deal with the aftermath.
"You want to see me, why?"
Ronald unexpectedly received news that a delegation from South Korea was going to visit him.
"They said that your boy Longwei was the biggest contributor to the spread of Japanese culture in America, and they also wanted to spread Korean culture, so..." Richard explained with a smile. East Asian countries are very concerned about Japan's massive acquisitions in America.
Envy, the current symbol of Japanese culture, besides swords, samurai, and Akira Kurosawa, is karate made popular by Ronald.
Several officials from the Goryeo mission came to Ronald's home to pay homage. They yelled at the Chinese garden, saying that it was the style of a palace in Seoul, etc. When they saw Ronald waiting in the living room,
He bowed again immediately...
"Mr. Ronaldo would rather..."
They expressed their intention to sponsor Ronald's Daydream Pictures to shoot several movies with the theme of Korean Taekwondo to fully promote this sport.
Because in the Olympic Games held in Korea four years ago, taekwondo could only be used as a performance event, and they were eager to turn it into an official event. Its popularity internationally, especially in America, is an important factor in the assessment of the Olympic Committee.
index.
There is nothing that can gain more support from popular culture than a Taekwondo version of "Yongwei Boy". Japanese people are not too obsessed with karate and must enter the Olympics, but Taekwondo is the national quintessence of Goryeo, and whether it enters or not matters.
National pride is something that those Japanese people cannot understand.
"Huh? This is interesting. Our Daydream has already produced a movie called Black Belt, starring Eric Roberts. You should have seen it too, right?"
Ronald was happy when he heard it. Someone is investing in the sequel movie you were about to make. Isn’t it like sleeping with someone handing you a pillow?
"We have seen it, and this is also an issue we want to communicate with Mr. Ronaldo Ning this time. In the Korean karate movie, the Koreans will win in the end..."
"Then why are you still making Hollywood movies? Why do you want to enter the Olympics?" Ronald was quite puzzled by the obsession of this group of people. This was a movie released in America and shot in English. In the end, of course, America
The boy has to win the game.
You want to turn Taekwondo into an official Olympic sport, and you want Koreans to monopolize all the gold medals. Isn’t this fanciful?
"Butak Hamnida..." The two officials bowed...
The actions of these Koreans are actually very similar to those of Japanese people when they say please, except that they are more "upright". Maybe it is because of the Korean language, and their tone is more rude.
"Then there's nothing I can do. When you make a movie in Hollywood, you have to abide by Hollywood's business rules. You can find someone else..."
The two officials left Ronald's house dissatisfied. They didn't know what they were saying in Korean when they left, and their tone seemed to be dissatisfied with Ronald. Because no one could speak Korean, Ronald didn't know.
The language itself sounds like a quarrel, or is it really a quarrel?
"This group of people is really interesting. They want to ask for compensation from the government, hahahaha..."
At night, Ronald heard even more interesting things.
The South Korean delegation came to Los Angeles not only to express condolences to their compatriots, but also to represent them to ask for compensation from the federal and state governments for the riots. They believed that California and the federal government had not fulfilled their obligations to protect Korean immigrants, so
As a country of origin, it is necessary to come here to stand up for them.
Therefore, the delegation officially visited the consulate in Los Angeles and also went to the embassy in DC to find someone. They must hand over their grievances and let the commander-in-chief in the White House know about their grievances.
This move seems inexplicable. These people have already settled in America, or have been naturalized, and are no longer South Korean citizens. Is it your turn to worry about this matter?
Besides, America is a commercial society, everyone buys insurance, and the insurance company will compensate...
As for the letter to the Commander-in-Chief, I’m afraid you don’t know what America is...
The brains of these people are as full of muscles as their languages. I don’t know who came up with the solution. It’s really dumbfounding.
In fact, this matter is quite sensitive. During World War II, the Japanese in Hawaii and other places were not sure which country they belonged to, and there were groups loyal to Japan. In the end, all the Japanese were sent to concentration camps...
However, when these people came, they were ostensibly connected through Korean churches in Los Angeles. Many Korean religious churches have close relations with evangelical churches in the South, which have many supporters of the Elephant Party. Through their mediation,
Next, this matter becomes a big deal and a trivial matter.
The bureaucrat who proposed this stupid idea was reprimanded by his superiors and transferred back.
…
"They don't want to film the third part of Black Belt Elite? Why?"
Ronald, who was at home, was discussing business with Michelle Cannold from Daydream. Daydream's colleagues were on vacation during the riots and were able to cope fairly well.
However, during the riots, "City Heroes", which was shot on location in Los Angeles, was forced to move to a studio for filming. Although law and order has been restored now, the crew is still out of business because all the people are not available, so the budget is wasted every day.
There is no progress at all.
The baseball movie in which Diane starred also went to the professional baseball team in New York to shoot again. The start of filming for the entire crew had to be postponed for several weeks, which was another huge expense.
The two crews are still resuming work after all, but Daydream is facing difficulties in filming a series of low-budget exploitation films.
Many low-budget action films and horror films that were scheduled to be shot have encountered the withdrawal of the main creators. Eric Roberts starred in two of the "black belt elites" that the Goryeo bureaucracy was worried about, and both were financially successful.
.
Originally, Eric Roberts was blacklisted from major projects due to various reasons. Now only companies like Daydream invite him. His refusal to star in this third film is especially puzzling.
"He said it was due to physical reasons. This is also stipulated in the contract. We can't sue him... I'm afraid there are some other reasons." Attorney Gray Eyes Mickey was also invited by Ronald for consultation.
"Of course there is a problem, I'm not a fool..." Ronald thought for a while, but had no clue, so he had to ask Richard to help find out the cause.
Seeing that a profitable film series suffered a setback, Ronald was also very upset, "What, can we still talk to the Koreans? If they want to win, let them win. Anyway, they use Asians who are developing in Hollywood.
The actors also speak English."
"The following are the premieres of two movies, Sisters Are Crazy, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Celebrities are invited to attend, and you have to make a few phone calls..."
"Ha, let me do it, only I can handle this..." Ronald was very confident in his connections in Hollywood.
