America 1982

Chapter 225 Philosophers

BT TV Network Program Production Center, yes, since many programs became popular, BT has a separate program production center on Sunset Boulevard. The speaker here is a top producer who has worked at San Fernando Live Color Company for many years. Now the Vice President of BT Television Network, Rick Luther.

When Page and Martin helped Tommy push open the door to the conference hall, Rick was already leading his team of producers sitting in the conference room.

Seeing Tommy walking in from the outside, the previous whispers of conversation suddenly disappeared, leaving only silence, and all eyes turned to Tommy Hawke.

Tommy smiled and nodded slightly to everyone, but did not rush to say hello. Instead, he walked to the wall of the conference hall where more than a dozen TVs were stacked. He picked up the remote control and fiddled with it for a while until all the screens were on. They all started to broadcast a new homemade reality show that was launched on BT TV network less than two months ago.

"Fake Daughter".

Tommy sat back and looked at everyone: "Rick asked me to chat with you and said that some of you are not in a good mood recently? Do you want to hear my personal advice? When I am in a bad mood, I turn on the TV Come on, watch this show, and your mood will feel better immediately.”

No one responded to Tommy. Tommy asked Rick quietly next to him with some confusion: "Are you sure you called me here to talk about emotions, not a salary increase? Why do they all look like they are waiting for me?" Say you get a salary increase, and then use the money to buy some hemp to cheer you up?”

"It has nothing to do with the salary increase." Rick's mood was a little strange: "You haven't paid much attention to the BT TV network recently?"

"I have been quite busy recently. I went to New York to work for a week not long ago. After I came back, I made an appointment with the president of the brokerage company to discuss business. Even when you called me, I was still discussing business with Koreans." Tommy said calmly. Ke introduced his previous itinerary and said that he had good reasons for not paying enough attention to the BT TV network:

"Of course, no matter how busy I am, I still watch "Fake Girl". It's great. Those bullshit producers from other TV networks are like fucking kids compared to you top talents coming out of San Fernando." Michael Jackson, you can ravage them all you want and you don't have to pay."

(PS: The author does not intend to slander this black artist who is very popular in China and has a huge fan base, but that was how Americans humiliated and ridiculed him at that time. Countless talk shows used his designs with children to make countless vulgar and obscene remarks. Jokes.)

A white male in Rick's production team stood up, took out the "Fake Girl" video tapes playing on more than a dozen TVs, and replaced them with new ones. The screen randomly changed to VOX News Channel. After doing all this, The white man stood next to the TV sets and looked at Tommy silently.

Tommy looked at the TV. On the screen, the white host of VOX was broadcasting the news with a worried expression. The date should be old news:

“On the second day after the show aired, small-scale boycott demonstrations broke out in 37 cities in the United States, calling on viewers to boycott the BT reality show. In addition, according to the latest news obtained by VOX, the FCC has targeted this reality show. The number of calls to report and complain about the reality show in a single day has exceeded 1,000, breaking a record in the American television industry."

"Okay, I admit that I don't watch BT TV programs very much. I basically haven't watched them since the night they aired. But I carefully read the income statement every week. From the advertising income, I know what you are doing. It's very, very good." After watching the social news for up to two minutes, Tommy said: "And you are recorded in history, you broke the record! This is something worthy of congratulations~"

Tommy's words made everyone in the room raise their heads and glare at Tommy. His boss set up a TV network, but he never watched the programs he made with money?

"You never watch BT TV network's homemade programs?" Rick also raised his head in surprise and asked Tommy.

Tommy asked frankly, "Sure, do I look black?"

Rick shook his head and lowered his head in despair. He now regretted his decision to ask his boss to help him appease these capable subordinates.

Although Tommy has never watched "Fake Girl", he knows that it is a very positive American reality show.

After all, if you want him to come up with money, you have to show him the most basic plan, and Earl also told him about the ratings of the show. This reality show is now one of BT's signature programs.

The popular reality show "Fake Money" has made BT TV network's advertising costs hit new highs. Advertisers are more interested in queuing up at BT TV network headquarters to sign contracts than they are in queuing up to buy crack.

The most important thing is that the two reality shows it designed, "Fake Daughter" and "Big Brother", defeated the FOX TV network in the front-line battlefield of prime-time ratings.

The Fake Daughter is a very, very positive female reality show on the BT network that calls on Americans to care about sensitive issues such as race, culture, social hierarchy, and female influence. At least Earl Rush was at the TV Industry Practitioners Conference in Washington. And that’s what he said in the interview.

It is indeed very positive. The entire reality show has two heroines, one black and one white, two young and beautiful girls. The black one is a gang daughter from the bottom of the street, and the white one is a wealthy daughter from the upper class.

During the recording, they will exchange identities. The pretty white girl will go to a street gang to enjoy the starry attention of the black gang members, and the black girl will be sent to the swimming pool mansion to let her enjoy the support of gentlemen and ladies.

Then both black viewers and white viewers saw what they wanted to see.

Black people like to see white people make fools of themselves, so this show lets them see that if white people have the same bad living environment as they do, their fate will be worse than that of black people who have excellent endurance.

Then there is the socialite who is worth billions. When she gets to the streets, she will follow a gang to buy bulk goods because she has no choice. The gang leader who is protecting her in name will have her father arrested by the police and her cash confiscated by the police. After that, she goes to ask her family what to do. The family just handed her a gun. If she didn't take revenge, she would be kicked out of the gang. If she didn't have the courage to take revenge and kill people, and wanted to fill her stomach, she could only accept the previous suggestion of the nigger's subordinates and let them exchange pitiful shots. Because he had studied in college and knew Russian, he was used as a gang translator and established a line to cooperate with the Russian gang.

White people prefer to watch black people make fools of themselves, so the show lets them see that even if they have a good life, black people are trash. For example, when a black girl with an American Express black card is introduced to other high-end people of the same class by her nominal white father. , her first reaction was to get some crack and sell it at a high price to these guys who tipped the waiters with ten-yuan notes. In order to continue to maintain this kind of life after the show, she wanted to catch a rich guy, so she took the initiative On the show, he struck up a conversation with a promising young white man, and the two had sex. As a result, the unlucky white guy was diagnosed by a private doctor the next day. Because of his sex with the black girl, he contracted four infections. This disease almost caused the whole club to rot.

The entire show does not have any revealing points or side scenes from beginning to end, but it allows you to imagine all the obscene scenes you have not seen.

For example, if you see a white girl sitting in a fast food restaurant eating cheap steak, and then think of the nigger's previous offer to her, you will know what kind of deal she just completed, and you will know whether she used her mouth, the front or the back. Just replaced this steak.

For another example, when the personal doctor said that the unlucky handsome white guy had four diseases, including erosion on the tip of his tongue, he knew what kind of bold gestures he and the black girl used.

There are no pornographic scenes, no scenes or lines that are inappropriate for children, so it can be aired openly during prime time, and the whole family can sit in front of the sofa and watch it together.

A very positive and family-friendly reality show.

It is said that in the third episode of this reality show, when white boys were infected with four diseases, the number of appointments at private clinics increased sharply, and many white people who had slept with black girls went to have their bodies checked.

There are also more shootings among teenagers than usual because many whites and blacks are angered by the ridicule of those around them and choose to rent a few issues of the "Almighty Gun Master" video tape and simply upgrade the weapons at home to go to salvation on behalf of God. Guys who really deserve to have their tongues rotten.

Both blacks and whites like to watch it, and after watching it, they call the police and ask the FCC to force the BT TV network to delete the scenes of women with the same skin color as themselves, and change the double heroine into a single heroine.

"This show and all the employees involved in its production have been blacklisted by the Emmy Awards because of this obscene show. As long as they continue to produce this show, they will blacklist us forever, Boss." Just switched the screen to The white man in the news said to Tommy: "All TV program critics are criticizing us. Countless viewers wrote letters scolding us for producing such a vulgar and obscene program. We even received feedback from the FCC. Congress may consider allowing television The Program Review Board will hold a separate meeting to discuss whether to ban it on the grounds that it is too obscene and not suitable for prime time broadcast."

Tommy took out the chewing gum from the pocket of Rick's suit jacket, poured two pieces into his mouth, and then looked at the man who was at least fifteen years older than him: "Whether it is banned or not is not your fucking decision. Question, boy, you just used the word obscene three times to describe this show. You are fucking insulting me, insulting BT, and insulting all black people in America. I am going to arrange a special fucking appearance for you. Say what you just said again in front of the camera.”

"I didn't insult black people, boss, I just..."

"Of course you fucking do!" Tommy banged his hands on the table and stared sharply at the other person who was upset because he insulted black people.

Others were also a little nervous because of Tommy's words, except for a few real black people.

"But insulting me, insulting BT, insulting black people, these are not important. Do you know what makes me angry the most?" Tommy slowly stood up from his seat, walked to the other party, and helped him carefully. He straightened his tie, looked at the tie clip inlaid with diamonds, and spoke softly:

"You're insulting the people you work with to create such a great show, insulting yourself, it makes me angry, what makes you think you're obscene? TV show reviews that have a mouth that's stinkier than a rat in the sewer." Home? Or those black people who only like to watch white people make fools of themselves, and white people who only like to watch black people make fools of themselves. They even sit in the Capitol building and say to the camera that they are speaking out for the American people. In fact, they only ask their secretaries to call them high-end girls in the office. A member of Congress who makes taxpayers foot the bill? In front of those people, what the hell do you have to call yourself obscene? Do you deserve it?"

After Tommy helped the other person tidy up, he turned around and walked behind the others, brushing each person's shoulders with his hand, gently and forcefully, just like his words:

"You are producing a great, impeccable show. Believe me, if it violated US laws, it would have been banned long ago. Instead of those experts and congressmen who can only use their mouths incompetently, it can be broadcast in prime time The fact that it is broadcast during a time slot means that it is not obscene and is a standard family program. Admittedly, it has some stylistic illusions that make people feel uncomfortable, but so what? That is what we must do in order to spread virtue. , Obscenity also has its meaning."

"What's the meaning of existence? Just like a short movie?" A woman whose shoulders were held down by Tommy spoke with her back to Tommy.

Tommy put his hands gently on the other person's shoulders: "No, ma'am, with all due respect, you must rarely watch short movies, right?"

"Of course, I have a husband and a regular life." The woman did not deny it: "So I don't need to watch that kind of little movie."

"But you need to watch "The Impostor" because it is completely different from small movies. No one understands small movies better than me. It is so holy that I cannot feel blasphemy. I would rather face Nancy Reagan and help her husband. No matter how many posters are posted to canvass votes, they will not do anything rude to the two heroines. Those who question the obscenity of the show do so because they are obscene in their hearts, not the program itself. What's more, obscenity is also a kind of obscenity that needs to be treated by us. Borrowed skills." Tommy looked at everyone:

"If you tell any American about the policies that impacted them during President Kennedy's tenure, they'll probably just throw up their hands at you blankly and treat you like a boring idiot, but you tell them, hey, man, Did you hear that President Kennedy and his brother had sex with Marilyn Monroe in the White House last night? The other party would immediately show a shocked expression, and then treat it as major news affecting the United States and spread it to everyone around him. This is the power of obscenity, we just use obscenity as a technique to convey various virtues to the American people."

The employee whose tie was being adjusted by Tommy said: "Boss, why don't we simply arrange a woman with her legs folded in front of the BT TV network camera. As long as she reads the various virtue messages you want to convey at the top of the screen, the woman will Open your legs and show them the dirty scenes they want to see?"

"Is it obscene to open your legs?" Tommy quickly walked back to the other party with a displeased look on his face:

"So, you were the one who said the word obscene to your mother when she opened her legs and pulled you out? Are you sure?"

"That's different..."

"Of course it's the same thing!" Tommy glared at the other person: "This show is just like your mother! Understand! It is a very holy and great thing for a woman to spread her legs, for the purpose of pregnancy and rebirth, just like the Bible It is recorded in that Moses parted the Red Sea to bring hope and new life to the Hebrews! If some people think it is obscene, it is because those are the heretical words spoken by the Egyptians who are about to be swallowed by the sea! It is the quality of a woman opening her thighs to give birth to a new baby. The cry of a bad tadpole! Answer me, are you the one with the worst quality among the countless tadpoles your father gave to your mother in this life?"

"No, sir." The white man lowered his head and whispered.

Tommy stared at the other person fiercely for a few seconds before turning around and said, "It's best not."

"Does anyone remember the name Vermont?" Tommy asked, smiling and spreading his arms back to the conference table.

Everyone shook their heads.

Tommy was satisfied and continued to ask: "Very good, have you heard of the name Quincy Berdych?"

Everyone nodded wildly.

"I guess by now you have heard the name Vermont. Yes, the spread of news is always tied to obscenity. The poor Secretary of State had no choice but to help his wife arrange for a cowherd to come because his club was withered. To add to the fun, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that the lumberjack who had fucked him, the Secretary of State, countless times, was actually a damn bisexual. He thought he and the lumberjack were in love, but he didn't expect that any one of them would just have to pay... For money, his strong gay man can provide high-quality door-to-door services." Tommy spit out his gum, took out a cigarette and lit it:

"The entire United States now knows the interesting story about Secretary of State Mr. Demont being played by a cowherd who broke his cue. He could only lie on the bed with his wife and was fucked by a cowherd. Don't you think this dirty news is of any benefit? No, it's news. In the second week after it was made public, the number of tourists flying to Vermont increased by 32%, most of whom were couples. The income of cowherds at local entertainment companies increased by 27% compared with before. Many guests required that cowherds must wear lumberjack uniforms. Clothes are coming to your door. Does anyone else think that the Secretary of State who was forced to resign is obscene? In today's economic downturn in the United States, this news has helped many Vermont lumberjacks find new jobs! He is fucking great and deserves respect. A person! He sacrificed himself and made a huge contribution to Vermont’s economic recovery! If I were a person from Vermont, I couldn’t help but want to help him erect a statue! Remember him forever!”

Rick couldn't help but start to recall whether there was any style problem when this show was originally planned. It seems that there was not. He really wanted to help Americans design a family-friendly reality show that the whole family can watch on the sofa. Absolutely It was those TV show critics who maliciously framed me.

Tommy continued: "People who are dirty at heart find everything obscene. I have a friend named Dennis. He is like that. Let's put it this way. He once forgot to bring a poster of "Penthouse" with him and directly said He made a comment about the exposed breasts of Jesus on the cross in the church. Does anyone think that the naked breasts of Jesus are obscene? Of course not, Dennis is the one who is obscene."

"If we want to change our country, we must use a more accessible way, that is, let people learn to think about why a white girl from a prestigious school went to the streets of black people and ended up working part-time while watching easy-to-understand programs. He sells his body to make a living and doesn’t even have the money to buy Torjan. Why is it that when a black man from the bottom suddenly becomes rich and enters the upper class, the first thing he thinks of is to buy a bunch of shiny jewelry and then sell it to billionaires. Crack?”

"What problems have arisen in this country? How long will it take to achieve racial equality? When will the issue of employment discrimination against women in the United States be taken seriously? This is the real depth of our reality show. Every issue is worthy of people's consideration. Well worth it, who asked these deep questions, it wasn’t fucking Socrates, it was you.”

"Don't think of yourselves as disseminators of obscene culture. You are a greater philosopher than Socrates. Socrates can only talk, but what about you? You have wisdom, depth, greatness, holiness, kindness and all the virtues. I would rather bear the stigma, but never forget to try to change America."

"You are true philosophers, doers, and social activists."

"I'm proud of you."

"BT is proud of you."

"The United States is proud of you, and your names will always be remembered in the history of television development and praised by those who come after you."

Several young attendees clapped excitedly, and then others hesitantly began to applaud. Tommy was escorted out of the conference hall by Rick amid the applause.

In the corridor where others could not hear, Tommy said to Rick: "The young people who took the lead in applauding will have their salaries increased by 15%, and then let Mark's headhunting company give those three people who have experience in social beatings who refuse to applaud. The old guy sent out a few invitations to trick them into resigning and leaving BT, and also told the remaining people not to worry about the issues with the Emmy Awards and Congress, they will be arranged to be shortlisted."

"Okay, Boss." Rick said with conviction.

Who the hell could take a sleazy show and elevate it to the level of Jesus and Moses? Who can elevate the producers of this obscene show to a level that even philosophers like Socrates can only look up to?

His own boss, Tommy Hawke.

Before, Rick was curious about how Tommy could become a billionaire at such a young age. Now he knew that not only could he become a millionaire, but if the boss wanted to, he could even become the leader of a cult with the most followers.

When Rick turned around and walked towards the conference hall, Tommy straightened his tie, strode forward, and said to Martin and Page who were following him:

"Martin, go talk to Earl and let his lower-level black organization Rainbow solve those false accusations. By the way, you can also tell Big Jack and the others to bring the folks from Compton to teach the newspapers in California a lesson. In short , in a word, whoever dares to insult this dirty show that helps me make money is insulting all the dirty black people in America. Ask Sophia to help you arrange the funds. Tell her, I allow you to take an extra five thousand yuan to help yourself. Change into a custom-made suit by Bi Jian.”

"I'm ready to blow up the newspaper now. I, a dirty black man, have been insulted!" Martin heard that his boss had rewarded him with a custom-made suit worth 5,000 yuan before he did anything. He immediately pumped his fist excitedly and said, "Keep it up!" It would be nice to have more insults to black people. I also have my eye on a pair of Italian handmade leather shoes worth 1,500 yuan."

Tommy ignored Martin's excitement and said to Page:

"Page, call Sean, who is in charge of BT's public relations, and ask him to think about it and see if it is possible to convey a message to the American audience, that is, the experts who insulted and slandered "Fake Money" have all been paid by the Fox Television Network. Money, and remember to remind him that this was Earl's decision, that I knew nothing about any of it, and other than talking about philosophy with everyone, I mainly talked about business with Koreans in Newport Beach."

Second update~

After being stuck for a few days, I figured out the plot direction, redesigned the story ending of this volume and the final ending of the book, and summarized the mistakes and shortcomings in the writing. Then I went to sleep, and then got up again. Code words, try to finish this volume as soon as possible, open a new volume, and try to regain the relaxed style of the first volume~
