This most famous attraction in New York ushered in an unquiet night.
The area around the Statue of Liberty, which symbolizes freedom and beauty, was already crowded with police and reporters who came after hearing the news.
In the sky, several helicopters were hovering over the Statue of Liberty, including fire helicopters and news helicopters from major television networks, illuminating the entire Statue of Liberty.
The firefighters, police, and reporters on the plane all stared intently at the young white man on the torch at the top of the statue of the goddess.
Facing so many helicopters, police, and direct lights, the white man was not afraid at all. Instead, he kept yelling at the camera on the news helicopter.
"Come and take a picture of me!"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
"God will send you to hell, you filthy devils!"
...
Under the statue of the goddess, the pot-bellied chief inspector of the Special Operations Bureau of the New York Police Department had a gloomy expression on his face.
"The emergency operation team goes up the stairs. The air crew will report the situation above at any time. Get him down alive within an hour!"
The leader of the emergency service team, who was also pregnant but younger and much stronger, suggested, "Sir, do you want to wait for the negotiator to come over?"
The pot-bellied director glared at him and spat wildly, "F**K, you find a negotiator to negotiate with a mentally ill person? It's better to find someone in a mental hospital than a normal person!"
"Also, get rid of those damn reporters!"
...
The special service team began to climb up the stairs inside the statue of the goddess, preparing to go up and catch the bastard who disturbed their sleep.
At this time, even though it was already 11 pm in New York time, due to media reports, many people were paying attention to such a major social event in front of the TV.
Liberty Island is an island at the mouth of the Hudson River. There is such a big movement at this time. Manhattan is in the northeast, Staten Island is in the southwest, Brooklyn is in the east, and Bayonne is in the west. Countless people are on the tall buildings on all sides.
Looking at the illuminated Statue of Liberty.
Li Qian, who was far away on the West Coast, was also watching the live broadcast of ABC TV station in his hotel suite.
Tong Liya and the others also came back from shopping. At this time, it was 11pm in New York and only 8pm in Los Angeles.
"Isn't something going to happen?" Tong Liya looked at the TV and saw the young white man on the top of the Statue of Liberty's torch who kept shouting at the sky, feeling a little worried.
We already know what's going on. The reporter from Fox TV has already explained the situation.
After a group of good gay friends watched "The Truman Show", one of them suddenly became a little abnormal. He always suspected that this world was false and wanted to find the entrance to the real world.
I went to many places, including going to sea, but found nothing.
His gay friend made a joke, saying that the door to the real world might be on top of the Statue of Liberty.
The man really believed it. After all, the Statue of Liberty symbolized freedom, so he didn't know how he sneaked to the island at night and how he climbed up secretly.
After going up, I didn't find the so-called door, so I called my friend and scolded him, saying that he was a liar like everyone else and that he was all fake.
The gay friend was confused and didn't expect the joke to actually come true, so he first broke the news to the TV station and then called the police.
Then, it became like this on TV.
Li Qian was speechless. He thought he had encountered some excitement, but he didn't expect that it was related to him.
"Is this person really crazy, or is it performance art?" Deng Chao was a little doubtful.
Li Qian shook his head, "Anyway, a normal person can't do this. If he's not a lunatic, he would have to go to jail for a few years."
Zhang Wei secretly smacked his tongue, "I thought it was outrageous that people on the Internet in China suspected that they were being monitored every day. I didn't expect that Mi Lijian would go crazy. He must be too fragile."
"But "The Matrix" was similar. The world was controlled by artificial intelligence. Why didn't anyone go crazy at that time?" Tong Liya wondered.
""The Matrix" is a science fiction film, "The Truman Show" is closer to reality. Everyone will encounter some weird things, a wife who is a little hypocritical and does not love him, a good friend who is also hypocritical, many people will have the same
place."
"Compared to "The Matrix," "The Truman Show" is at least possible at this stage. If it is not illegal, I suspect that other TV stations will want to create a program like this after watching the movie."
"Perhaps that person has some mental problems. Normal people would not believe it. He is already ill. Once he was stimulated by the movie, he thought it was true."
Several people were discussing here non-stop. Considering their normal thinking, it is really difficult to understand this kind of thing.
"If that person falls and dies, then we won't be responsible," Deng Chao said suddenly.
"It has nothing to do with movies, right? Didn't "The Ring" scare a lot of people to death?"
"Is that true? Isn't it a hype?"
"I saw the news as if it was true. It scared three people to death and scared hundreds of mentally ill people."
"No way, I watched it alone at night, I just couldn't sleep."
.....
It's Sadako again... Li Qian shook his head, "I don't know much about the laws on Mi Lijian's side, but I still believe in the ability of the New York police. It's best if nothing happens."
Although from a movie point of view, if the man actually fell and died, it might be more sensational and beneficial to the movie.
But at least from a normal person's point of view, Li Qian didn't want to see any accidents.
But it doesn’t matter what Li Qian said, it’s up to the police.
More than ten minutes passed and there was no movement.
The statue of the goddess is over a hundred meters high. You can take the elevator from the base to reach the top of the base, where the feet of the goddess are, and then you have to climb the spiral steps inside.
Li Qian checked and found that there were a total of 377 spiral steps from the pedestal to the 25 iron windows on the crown of the goddess statue.
However, the goddess crown and the torch are not on the same road. It turns from the neck, and I haven't found out how many steps there are, because tourists can only go to the crown, not the torch at the top.
After a few hundred steps and more than ten minutes, it was time to arrive. We were probably discussing the plan inside. We couldn't see the TV, we could only see the bottom or the footage captured by the news helicopter in the sky.
The white young man continued to curse at the camera on the news helicopter and waved his hands, looking very excited.
After more than ten minutes, the police inside the Statue of Goddess began to take action. The man climbed onto the edge of the torch, shouting something fearlessly.
He was too excited and spoke too fast, and seemed to have a bit of dialect. Whether there were subtitles or not, Li Qian couldn't quite hear it.
But those are probably the meanings, you can guess them.
The stalemate lasted for almost half an hour. Finally, when the camera on the news helicopter attracted his attention, another fire helicopter sneaked around behind. A firefighter tied a safety rope and jumped out from behind, killing him.
He fell to the ground, and the police below also rushed up and subdued him.
The live TV scene cut to the ground, where reporters were still interviewing the police. About half an hour later, the man was taken down.
However, even though he was handcuffed and held down by two people, he struggled to break free and cursed her.
"You devils, God will punish you."
"You are committing a crime. I want to leave this false world. Let me out!"
Especially when I saw the reporter's camera, I became even more excited.
"You guys watching the show in front of the TV are all accomplices of the devil and you all deserve to go to hell!"
"Come! Look!"
"I'm right here! Look at me!"
...
Li Qian slapped his forehead hard, he was really ill.
However, it’s better not to die.
I also called Thomas from Warner, which was actually a good thing.
Climbing to the top of the Statue of Liberty at night without permission is no less than someone climbing to the top of the Tiananmen flagpole.
Social sensation is inevitable. The last one just climbed on the pedestal, that is, the feet of the goddess statue to protest something, and was arrested and sentenced.
We could see how serious it was from the actions of the police and reporters. There were a lot of policemen underground and four or five helicopters in the sky. The TV station gave up its original program and broadcast the whole thing live for more than an hour.
It's also at night. Although it's only 9 o'clock on the west coast, it's already 12 o'clock on the east coast. Not everyone knows that.
By early the next morning, the morning news on the five major TV networks were all reporting that a man became mentally ill after watching "The Truman Show" and climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty to find an exit from this false world.
.
Immediately, the whole Milijian became a sensation, and almost all media and TV stations were reporting on it.
"It is understood that the patient who climbed up the Statue of Liberty has been diagnosed with mental problems. Before this, he had watched a Chinese movie "The Truman Show" and doubted the authenticity of the world. He wanted to climb up to the Statue of Liberty.
Find the door to the real world at the top!”
"The magical power from the East, a movie that makes people doubt that the world is false!"
"Is our world real? "The Truman Show" is a movie that makes people crazy. This is witchcraft from the East!"
"Mental patients also have the right to pursue freedom. On behalf of the Mental Illness Association, I ask the police department to release the person arrested from the Statue of Liberty yesterday!"
...
After watching the movie, he became mentally ill and climbed up the Statue of Liberty to find the door to the real world. It immediately became a major social event that attracted national attention.
"The Truman Show" has also entered the vision of all Milijian people in all aspects.
Cinemas began to show the film on a large scale. Countless people were very curious after reading the news, bought tickets and went to the cinema.
On the second day alone, the box office of "The Truman Show" soared to 9 million, which was higher than the box office in the past month.
It broke 10 million on the second day, and still broke 10 million on the third day.
In just three days, the box office reached 40 million US dollars, which is almost the same as the previous total.
Forty million US dollars in three days, which has caught up with the first weekend box office of some A-level major productions. In this off-season for movies, coupled with the previous incident of the Statue of Liberty, the movie has become a hot topic at the moment.
"This is the scariest movie I have ever seen. For a show, almost the whole world is taking away a person's world for granted, including his parents, wife, and friends. There is no moral bottom line, no law, no human rights, just
To take away a life because many people are paying attention, this world is too terrible!"
"I came to watch this movie because I saw the news about the Statue of Liberty. I thought it was the hype of the movie before, but after watching the movie, I can completely understand his feelings, because I once doubted the world.
If there is a door to the real world, it must be at the Statue of Liberty.”
"Oh my god, this is so scary. What is the truth of this world? I am hiding in the storage room and dare not go out. I have heard my mother calling me for more than an hour. I don't know what she is doing.
Is it my mother!"
"Foolish people, this world has always been full of deception. What you see is what others want you to see. Everything is news, newspapers, but news newspapers can also lie!"
"Yes, many things are false. Landing on the moon was the biggest lie of the last century. It was just a scene performed in a studio to paralyze polar bears!"
"9 Yaoyao is also fake. In the previous month, someone just rented the World Trade Center Building for 99 years at a price of 3.2 billion U.S. dollars. At the same time, he insured the World Trade Center Tower for 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. One of the compensation clauses
It's "broad terrorism".
Five days before September 9, someone purchased 3,150 put options on American Airlines stock, which was four times the share price of American Airlines at the time.
Four days before September 1, someone bought 27,294 put options on Boeing stock, which was 5 times the stock price that day.
The day before September 1st, someone bought 4,516 put options on American Airlines, which was 11 times the share price that day.
On September 10, many senior government officials canceled their flight plans for the next day. The mayor of San Francisco received a phone call on September 10, telling him not to fly the next day. The caller was Minister of State Milijian."
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes that before hitting the Pentagon, the hijacked plane made a difficult turn and dive in the air, flew at an ultra-low altitude for a long distance, and hit five telephone poles in a row.
It did not leave any traces on the ground, but it was impossible for terrorists with simple training to complete this difficult flying maneuver. This was a conspiracy carefully planned by the military."
"I can tell you very clearly that the collapse process of the World Trade Center Twin Towers was definitely a precise directional blasting, otherwise the building would not have collapsed at such a speed!"
"We have been kept in the dark. Some people even say that the world we live in is a ball. It is so funny. The earth is obviously flat, how can it be a ball!"
"There are too many falsehoods in this world. We are all controlled by the government and capitalists. We live in this false world. I will go find the door to the real world!"
...
"??????"
Li Qian sat in front of the computer, touching his chin, looking thoughtful.
It was not difficult for him to get online in Mi Lijian, and he understood these words clearly.
But now, he is a little unsure, are they joking or are they serious?
