Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw
Chapter 37
"A riot of tens of thousands of people is going on in Los Angeles, New York, at this moment, and in order to stop the riot from continuing, I, Bush, are now calling in the military to quell this insurrection."
"Contact the military immediately, mobilize 15,000 troops, and go to Los Angeles!"
Bush said firmly.
...
Beverly Hills.
Kevin was wandering with Julie in the villa, when a phone call suddenly came.
It was Dean of New Line Films.
"Kevin, the Los Angeles riots affected the schedule, and the theater manager told us that since the riots began, the cinema business in other places has also been greatly affected."
"The box office that escaped from Desperate Town is very likely not very good."
"It's going to be released tomorrow..."
Dean called, exactly as Shay had instructed, to ask Kevin if there was any other way to save it.
The three investors who escaped from Desperate Town have used a lot of propaganda power and other resources.
The money invested is actually only the most insignificant part of this.
Kevin just smiled and said
, "Don't worry, Dean."
"This is not a bad thing, the next thing to do is to increase the publicity."
"Black people, at this point in time, have received unprecedented attention."
"If you use it well, they can contribute all the box office for us, you can help me contact Mr. Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros."
With that, Kevin hung up the phone and waited quietly.
Moments later, Kevin answered his cell phone again, and it was none other than Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinoff.
"Hey, Kevin?"
"Tell me what you think."
On the other end of the phone, Jeff Robinoff's tone was completely gentle, and he was not nervous at all because of the Los Angeles riots.
"The riot is already impossible to stop, and those black people are already crazy at this time."
"I estimate that the White House may have sent troops at this time."
"Director Kevin, you are really well-informed."
"That's right, just today, the White House has issued an order, mobilized 15,000 troops, and even used high-power weapons close to medium-sized."
Jeff Robinoff's tone revealed something that Kevin would have struggled to know so quickly.
He had thought that Kevin would be surprised, but he did not expect Kevin to be much calmer than he thought.
"In that case, the movie will be released normally, right?"
"At the same time, focusing on propaganda, this is a film that fights discrimination, equal rights."
Kevin just understated.
"I'm sure those black people would love to see a movie like this that shows how they are discriminated against by white people."
Jeff Robinoff and Kevin both know that money is everything in their eyes.
What is not equal does not matter at all, what matters is how much benefit they can get with the help of the name of equality.
Really engaged in the idea of equal rights, Kevin did not.
But in the name of equal rights, he still has the idea of making a windfall.
Jeff Robinoff thinks the same way.
Aside from the metaphorical equality and anti-discrimination of escaping from Desperate Town, this is also a masterpiece in itself, a masterpiece of commercial thrillers.
With this situation...
"Kevin, do you have the heart to work towards the Oscars?"
"Those old men at the Oscars will definitely not give you the best director, but the best picture, or the best screenplay award, can still be fought for."
"Let's wait for the box office..."
Kevin simply left ambiguous words.
The two then hung up the phone.
....
A day later, there was a very exaggerated scene in Los Angeles.
Fifteen thousand heavily armed soldiers suppressed all the rebellion, and all those who dared to hang out at this time were regarded as rioters.
If you do not resist to arrest on the spot, if you resist, you will directly use firearms to deter.
In the end, the army was still a little concerned, and at the beginning they used training bullets, which could hurt people, but did not cause too serious damage.
This did not turn the suppression of the riot into a massacre.
..
"Kevin!"
"It's safe today."
Angelina Jolie's mouth revealed that in the United States law that made Kevin step up
, once the woman gives birth to the man's child, the man has to pay a large amount of parenting expenses according to his income.
Kevin doesn't want to take on that responsibility at this time.
Angelina Jolie is also not willing to happen at this time, and she also wants to go further on the road of stardom.
Early pregnancy is obviously not a good option.
Therefore, the two sides are still very careful about non-security days.
Of course, Safety Day is Kevin's favorite time.
"Crunch!"
Sharma Hayak, who has the key to Kevin's villa, suddenly pushed the door to the two's room and bumped into all this.
Against the background of the army dispatching to suppress the riots, the crew that was filming nearby decisively stopped filming.
And Sharma Hayyak also decisively drove directly towards Kevin's villa.
"Eh!"
The arrival of Sharma Hayyak made Kevin very happy, and directly shivered on Julie's body.
Julie pushed Kevin away and lay down weakly to the side.
Seeing Julie lying on the side godlessly, Kevin decisively hooked his hand at Sharma Hayak.
Sharma Hyak, who watched such a big drama, couldn't help herself, threw off her clothes, revealed her graceful figure, and took the initiative to come to Kevin's side.
Compared with Julie, Sharma Hayak brings Kevin a different charm of a mature woman.
.....
The next day, Kevin turned on the TV directly.
After a day of suppression, the Los Angeles riots basically subsided.
CNN reporters, shuttling the streets to bring the latest news to everyone, is not just CNN itself.
It is also a request from the White House and state governments.
The purpose is to let people know that the Los Angeles riots are over, so as to quickly restore normal order in Los Angeles.
Kevin, who saw that everything was over, was also not idle.
Through discussions with New Line Films, and Warner Bros., the decision to launch all Warner Theaters in Los Angeles to watch Escape from Desperate Town for three days was launched.
Warner Bros. owns three large movie theaters in Los Angeles, of which the big screens arranged for escape from Desperate Town account for about a quarter of the share.
Three days means hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in losses.
However, in order to escape the word-of-mouth fermentation of Desperate Town and attract more blacks into theaters as quickly as possible, Warner still agreed to this publicity request.
