PS: PS: Thanks to the book friend Yi Ge (two copies), the monthly pass of Youhu in the Snowy Land. Thanks to the book friend Qingqing Xiaolang, Xiao Yuer 62, Swordsman, Beauty is a Disaster. Please give me a monthly pass and recommendation. ticket!

Although the accommodation that Fang Mingyuan arranged for them was far less luxurious than a five-star hotel, Patriarch Welf was very satisfied because it was full of oriental style and allowed him to truly feel the foreign culture.

In the next few days, the Welf family, accompanied either by Fang Mingyuan, or by other members of the Fang family, officials from Fengyuan or Tongyi, visited the Fang family's properties and scenery in the two places. District. Li Xintong, Zhao Ya, and Angelina have become good friends these days. In their free time, Zhao Ya and Li Xintong will take Angelina out to play, go shopping, and talk to An Jielina. Jelina learned French and taught her Chinese at the same time.

However, Milot Friedrich Welf, who is the director of the Kingfisher Film Group, is not so free. He followed the patriarch to Tongyi because there was another important matter that needed to be discussed with Fang Mingyuan. Communicate face to face.

"Master Fang, the filming work of "Terminator 3" has been basically completed and it is expected to be released in the summer at the earliest. President Gore would like to discuss with Master Fang whether this time is appropriate?" Milot asked.

The United States is now basically free of the epidemic. Although people still have some lingering fears, the entertainment industry has gradually recovered. According to the Emerald Bird Film Group, it is the summer season for American movies, which is the period from June to September. Time, the epidemic has no obvious impact on the box office of "Terminator 3".

However, the Kingfisher Film Group Company must also consider the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, because in recent years, the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group's works have basically been released in the film markets of Hong Kong, Macau, and the Mainland at the same time as those in North America. The movie market is synchronized. Hong Kong and mainland China are still on the World Health Organization's list of epidemic areas, and cinemas are still deserted. Released at this time, it will undoubtedly have a big impact on the box office of "Terminator 3" Negative impact. With China's rapid economic development in recent years, its film market has become the fastest growing market in the world.

Moreover, Japan, which is also on the list of epidemic areas, is also an extremely important source of movie box office.

Therefore, Milot came here to ask Fang Mingyuan face to face whether to postpone the release of the movie. This time, the two places will no longer release the movie simultaneously. China can wait until the epidemic is over and the World Health Organization announces that the epidemic area has been lifted. Then choose a suitable time to show it.

"Has the filming finished?" Fang Mingyuan was startled. He originally planned to go to the crew in person. Unfortunately, since the outbreak of the epidemic, he did not have the time and energy. Secondly, if he went to the United States, he would have to travel Facing strict quarantine, the "confinement" location may be more luxurious than ordinary people. Of course, this is intolerable to Fang Mingyuan, who wishes he had forty-eight hours a day.

"Yes. The filming is over!" Milot said with certainty, "It was completed just a week ago. At that time, many American media's entertainment pages were headline reports." Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly, and he remembered that Zhao Ya seemed to be Told him about this.

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a long time, and then said: "Milo, what is the current situation of Gray Davis, the current governor of California?"

"Ah?" Milot's eyes widened in surprise. Hollywood is a part of California. Naturally, he wouldn't know anything about Governor Gray Davis, but Fang Mingyuan's thinking was too outrageous. Obviously

When discussing the release of "Terminator 3", why does it involve California Governor Gray Davis again?

However, he was surprised. Milot collected his thoughts as quickly as possible and replied: "Governor Davis, his life is not easy. His support rate has dropped recently, and it is currently only about 31%.

People are concerned about his slow response to the energy shortage problem in California two years ago and his failure to take responsibility for the matter in time, which ultimately led to the California governor's continuous power outages. This caused people's production

He is extremely dissatisfied with the many inconveniences in his life. Some people have called for his removal."

Fang Mingyuan nodded slightly. In his previous life, Schwarzenegger was successfully elected as the governor of California. It was precisely because California voters dismissed the former governor Gray Davis that Schwarzenegger was able to successfully run for the governorship of California!

The reason why he initially persuaded Schwarzenegger to give up the last California gubernatorial election was precisely because he knew that this was Schwarzenegger's real opportunity to become the governor of California!

"Miluo, there was an energy shortage in California two years ago. Can you tell me in detail?" Although Fang Mingyuan also collected some information about the governor of California, the information on paper was ultimately shallow, so it was better to do it by hand.

Milot, a person who lives in California all year round, can explain it more realistically.

Although Milot said that he felt strange that Fang Mingyuan suddenly talked about this, there is nothing worth hiding about this kind of thing. As long as he is an adult American and cares a little about the news, and his memory is not so

If it's bad, that period of time will always leave some impression. And if you live in California, you will never forget it.

Milot sorted out his thoughts, coughed twice, and then said: "That was when President Clinton was in office. In view of the shortage of natural gas, the soaring oil prices, and the unprecedented demand for electricity, Americans were prepared to face the recent two

The most serious energy shortage crisis in fifteen years..."

At that time, it was not just California that was threatened by the energy crisis, but almost the entire United States.

If a severe winter comes, a large proportion of Americans rely on natural gas and oil for heating. At that time, there were rumors that the price of natural gas would increase, ranging from 25 to 40 percent. At that time,

In the international crude oil market, the price of crude oil has exceeded 40 US dollars, which can be said to be operating at a high level. Such high prices make it impossible for many people to afford it. This has also caused insufficient power supply in the United States.

The power shortage in California has caused local power companies to limit power to some consumers, including hundreds of office buildings, company stores and even universities. In addition, due to the large use of natural gas by power companies, natural gas prices have increased.

The sharp increase will undoubtedly cause a significant increase in consumers' electricity bills.

In order to cope with this situation, residents across the United States have come up with various ways. Residents of some states are hoarding firewood in large quantities, residents of other states are purchasing large quantities of heating oil, and residents of California are buying

Small fuel generators... In order to solve this problem, the then US President Clinton also specifically approved the use of US crude oil reserves to suppress oil prices and ensure the supply of crude oil on the market.

California Governor Gray Davis was accused by voters of being indecisive and improper in dealing with this problem, which resulted in successive major blackouts in California.

"So what does Gray Davis have to say about this accusation?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Milot shook his head: "Of course Gray Davis will not admit that this is his mistake. A while ago, he once publicly excused himself in a public place, saying that the reason why energy appeared in California's power system was

The crisis collapsed because greedy private power companies continued to increase exploitation. And he just followed the energy regulation regulations signed by the previous California governor, Republican Pete Wilson. Now it seems that Governor Wilson passed

The regulation itself is flawed."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. It is normal not to admit this kind of thing. If Gray Davis admits it happily, then there are only two ways. One is to resign voluntarily. Such a big stain is enough to make politics in the United States.

When a character steps down, another way is to win the favor of voters and forgive him. Of course, this possibility can be said to be very small.

"Milo, do California voters have a bad impression of Gray Davis?" Fang Mingyuan said.

“Last September, a total of 18 million people in California signed a petition calling for California to hold a recall election. Although the final number of valid signatures was 13 million, I think this is enough.

That explains the problem." Milot said, "And the total population of California is currently only over 37 million people."

"So doesn't it mean that Gray Davis is likely to be dismissed?" Fang Mingyuan said.

Milot shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Since the founding of the United States, the only time since the founding of the United States was in 1921, when North Dakota Governor Lynn Frazier was recalled by voters. It has been eighty-two years. Although

The United States is a democratic country, and the governor is elected by the voters of the state, but it is not easy to impeach and remove him."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. It was the first gubernatorial recall election in the United States in 82 years. Gray Davis became the first governor to be recalled in the history of California and the second governor to be recalled through election in the history of the United States.

From now on, the name will remain in the history!

"Milo, I hope that in the North American film market, "Terminator 3" will be released in July and August. This time, China will not release it simultaneously with the North American film market." Fang Mingyuan clapped his hands and said, "Arnold, recently

What are you busy with?"

"Arnold?" Milot thought for a moment in surprise and said with some uncertainty, "He... he seems to be running for governor of California?"
