Chapter 347 Public Welfare Short Film

In the Rockefeller Manor, located at the southernmost tip of the island, Ariana sat at the table and ate a delicious dinner, while looking at Charles across the table, and after a long time, she suddenly said, "Brother, are you going to Los Angeles tomorrow morning?"

"Yes. Charles put his knife and fork down, looked at Ariana and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tomorrow, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar" will have their premieres at the Huaxia Grand Theater, and he, the boss, naturally wants to support it.

"My sister and I are going to Los Angeles tomorrow, too! Why don't we go together?" Ariana suggested with a wink, mainly because she wanted to rub Charles's plane.

"What are you doing in Los Angeles?" Charles, confused, looked at Ariana and then at Peggy.

"JK invited us to the premiere of Forrest Gump. After Peggy swallowed the food in her mouth, she replied to Charles flatly.

Charles's face darkened.

"JK is my rival, you actually ran to his place for the premiere!Are you my sister and sister?Are we family?" Charles looked at Peggy and Ariana angrily, and at the same time scolded John for being despicable and shameless, and actually turned his attention on his sister and sister.

"Dear Charles, of course we are a family, but JK sent me an invitation two months ago, I have a good relationship with him, I can't refuse, and besides, you didn't invite me to your premiere in advance. "What does Peggy mean by this that you didn't invite me to your premiere, and you didn't allow me to attend someone else's premiere?

This made Charles a little crazy, Peggy usually works a lot, and his temperament is relatively light, and more importantly, Charles is not at ease at all about such a trivial thing as the movie premiere, and naturally he will not think of inviting Peggy to participate. But now Peggy went to John's premiere to embarrass him.

"I went to John's premiere because I was a shareholder in both New Line Pictures and Crown Studios, so I went to my company's premiere. Ariana gave a perfect explanation, and at the same time looked at Charles and smiled: "But brother, if you are willing to give me 30% of Miramax's shares, I will definitely go to your premiere next year." ”

"Think beautifully. Charles glared angrily at Ariana, who was taking advantage of the fire.

"Charles, that's what's wrong with you. The old Rockefeller, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke: "You have to be willing to share, how can you have friends if you don't share?" JK is willing to share with Ariana, so he will get Ariane's support, otherwise how can he win Royce Rawls and New Line Films?"

"Grandpa is going to add a Lamborghini now. Ariana smiled and corrected on the side. In every company John buys, she, as a partner, basically owns 30% of the shares.

"Well, yes, there's also a Lamborghini. Old Rockefeller nodded.

"So Charles, you have to know that achieving others is also achieving yourself, even if it is a family, you have to be willing to share. ”

"I know Grandpa. Charles was very depressed, his sister and sister ran to support John and were not said, but he was the victim but he was taught a lesson, which is really unfair.

In the United States, the entertainment industry is not only very thin in terms of production, but also has a set of unspoken rules in terms of airtime.

For example, movies are mainly concentrated in the summer vacation and Christmas, while TV is mainly focused on the Spring Festival and autumn when there are no blockbusters.

After the time came to June, it gradually entered the annual summer vacation, and NBC TV station rushed to broadcast the last episode of "Friends" on the tail, ending the annual spring file.

"Friends" is NBC's best TV series in years, and since its debut, it has not only repeatedly refreshed ratings, but is also an Emmy Award regular.

On the evening of June 19th, when the last episode of "Friends" ended, the audience sitting in front of the TV had not had time to change the channel when they were attracted by a sudden quote on the TV: Every life deserves to be respected.

After the words disappeared, a group of people living in war, disease, and poverty appeared on TV.

These people are displaced, have no families to return to, are unclothed, are not only suffering from illness, but also do not even have a full meal.

Many people suffer from a chronic lack of food, resulting in malnutrition, skinny skin, and even many children's thighs are not as thick as the arms of their normal peers.

What's even more shocking is that in the camera, a little black African girl who looks like she will fall at any moment, is walking on the road with a few vultures hovering above her head.

The vultures followed her all the way, waiting for her to fall for food.

Such a tragic picture, anyone who still has a little temperature in their hearts will not be calm after watching it.

Especially in the United States, where children are very important, people here cannot accept that a little girl is starved to death and finally eaten by vultures.

And as the footage plays, subtitles scroll below the TV, announcing the number of people who die each year in Africa from war, disease, poverty, and natural disasters.

These numbers not only give the audience an intuitive understanding of Africa, but also become symbols that penetrate into every mind.

At the end of the film, Michael Jackson and Audrey Hepburn appear in the picture, calling on the audience in front of the TV to go into the theater to watch "Forrest Gump" and give a love for these vulnerable groups in Africa.

A movie ticket, an original soundtrack, or a movie videotape can bring them a full meal, a bottle of clean water, or a medicine.

Although a movie ticket, a soundtrack and a videotape can do a small thing, thousands of movie tickets, videotapes and soundtracks combined, it is a huge force that can bring hope to millions of people living in dire straits.

"Dad, can we go to the theater to support this movie, these children are so pitiful. ”

"MD, Lao Tzu, a big man is crying, I can't stand it, I'm going to the theater, why don't I just buy movie tickets, I'll buy ten. ”

"It's so miserable, there is still such a place in this world, there are still such people, no, I have to support "Forrest Gump". ”

"Hey, Lily, check out NBC's public service short: "Every Life Deserves to Be Respected." I think it is necessary for our student council to hold a charity fundraiser at the school, and at the same time call on everyone to go to the theater to support Forrest Gump and help these poor people in Africa. ”

With the broadcast of public welfare short films on major TV stations, more and more people have been affected, and many people have decided to go out to the theater to support "Forrest Gump" after watching the short film.

Although "Forrest Gump" will only be released on June 20, it will actually start at midnight in the early morning of June 19, and the premiere of the movie will also be held on the evening of June 19.
