Li Xiaole was speechless when he heard this, Lei Ting would believe this ...... However, she is indeed a mysterious person sometimes, and it is normal to believe in this kind of mysterious doctrine, and it is estimated that their "evil finger" organization is engaged in this kind of thing, shaking her head and sighing:
"I don't understand, I just made a TV series, weishenme will these people believe that this will really happen? Could it be that they all have problems in their brains and can't distinguish the difference between fiction and real life" This kind of apocalyptic crisis action will appear on a large scale in various parts of the century after the release of "2012" in the future.
Whenever some disaster movies and television works become popular all over the world, those religious groups of Shijie apocalyptic academics will use this opportunity to hype up.
Of course, it turned out that these apocalyptic speculations were wrong, and the 2012 record of the Mayan civilization was not the end, but the beginning of another point in time, but considering that these Brazilians spent all their savings for this ridiculous prophecy, and even borrowed money to buy a bunch of useless cans and water, Li Xiaole also felt a little uncomfortable.
"Damn, I'll shoot Chinese superheroes in the future to save America...... I wonder if they're going to believe it too......"
"Don't worry about it, you're not that important, 'The Walking Dead' isn't the first post-apocalyptic zombie movie, even if they don't have this series, they can use clips like 'Dawn of the Living Dead' to preach......," Lei Ting comforted him in that cold tone.
"You're so nice...... Sister Tingting, I felt a lot more comfortable in an instant. Li Xiaole said gratefully, and then opened his hands affectionately: "Since 2012 is the end of the world anyway, then we might as well go crazy~~~~~ we can't leave regrets......
Lei Ting was unmoved, just showed a cold smile and said: "Don't worry, I'm already ready, when the end of 2012 is coming, I will use those photos to trick Scarlett here, and then lock her in the cellar, let me enjoy it for three months, and then I'll leave a week for you~ What do you think?" ”
"You're too cruel...... Li Xiaole blinked, pretending to be dissatisfied: "At least give me a month~!! ”
News reports on television screens continued, and the town's mayor, William Kramer, said authorities were considering whether to charge the residents because of the injuries to the minors in the incident and the damage to the town's sewer pipes while digging the cellars.
"Apparently they were influenced by a certain zombie series." Sociologist Fran Bryson looked at the camera and didn't name names, but everyone knew which "zombie series" it was, and he said:
"The movie's true description of the apocalyptic scene made many people mistakenly believe that it was true, making people feel panicked and scared, so there is the current apocalyptic crisis event. This is a very negative-oriented social culture. ”
The incident has shocked the entire Brazilian state of Rio, where reporters interviewed passers-by on the streets of this small town on the lower Amazon River, and a white woman said:
"It's ridiculous! I don't understand that they weishenme would believe these statements" said a middle-aged man with curly hair: "Unbelievable, I feel that those who use religion to mislead the public are demons and they deserve to be punished by law." ”…… And the reporter interviewed some Catholic priests and nuns, who spoke less obsessively than the experts.
"It's all because of that TV series, The Walking Dead." Tyred Hayne, a black pastor wearing black-rimmed glasses, spoke into a reporter's microphone:
"Because many of the scenes in that series are very similar to ours here, the residents of our town are obsessed with this series, and I think the scenes about the end of the show are too real, and the performances that look like real zombies, so that the religion of a lot of doomsday statements has found a concrete reality, which makes the doomsday theory even more convincing."
He explains:
"Over the years, the town's economy has not been very good, many residents are getting more and more indebted, many of them have recently lost their jobs, in a difficult life, people will choose to find liliang in religion, and there is one aspect of doomsdayism, that is, people are dissatisfied with real life, hoping that the end will come and get a chance to start over, for them, the future full of zombies may be more attractive than the reality in front of them, and they now need more care from the government."
So it's the responsibility of the town government? The screen switched to the town office again, and a government clerk in charge of employment said helplessly:
"Now the economic crisis is spreading all over the world, not only in our town, but also in the whole of South America, where the unemployment rate has risen, and there is no job, no money, no money, no life." And the mayor of the town, Andolf Rule, appeared very angry, and he almost scolded the camera:
"That American TV has a lot of responsibility! They knew that public media works would affect people, but they put such a story about the end of the world on television, and when it was first reported by the media, I was worried, I knew it would lead to such a situation! ”
"It seems that I have to pay the responsibility of leadership......" Li Xiaole shook his head self-deprecatingly, leaning weakly on the sofa. Lei Ting looked at him speechlessly, and said with a look of disgust: "You don't have that much influence, everyone knows that 2012 is the end, and "The Walking Dead" does not indicate that it is the time in the future, you are just used by those religious groups." ”
"Government officials always seem to have their reasons, let's hear what the parties really think! What did the townsman think, who was one of the initiators of the 'Doomsday Prevention Action', but he quit at the juncture of Zuihou? ”
As the narrator's voice spoke, the scene shifted to a middle-aged man with a mosaic on his face, and he said:
"We went to the Prophet Lewis Pereira Santos that day, and then we saw the series in the evening, and the Prophet told us that this was the scene after 2012, and he believed that the director had received the same revelation from God as he did, so he asked everyone to start preventing the 2012 zombie virus, and he told us 'We're going to build the cellar into Noah's Ark.'"
"Then you weishenme later quit?" The journalist asked. The man shrugged his shoulders and thought for a while before he said: "I believe in the prophet very much, but I can't help it, my son is going to play football in the football school in São Paulo state, and I need money to teach him, so I have to work, and I don't have the spare time and energy to dig the cellar, you know, even if there is a real doomsday, I want my child to participate in the 2012 Shijie Cup, so I can't participate in this operation......"
Lei Ting looked at the TV screen and frowned: "This idiot fan, he actually thinks that the Shijie Cup is more important than surviving......"
Li Xiaole gently raised his eyebrows and curled his mouth, his mood was much more relaxed, fortunately, Brazil has football, or I really don't know how these people are going to live.
After the news was broadcast, the picture returned to CNN's live news room, and the host frowned and commented: "Recently, because of the global craze brought about by a popular zombie series, many religious groups based on doomsday theory have also begun to become more and more active, and regardless of whether 2012 is really the end of the world, for the future panic." Giving up the current life, is this really a haode choice?
In the global economic crisis, many people need religious guidance, and I hope that religious people will give more positive liliang to the people, instead of promoting despair. Next news......"
Is this serious? It doesn't seem to be serious, just a few Brazilian residents have collapsed their houses, and no one is in danger of life, and the social problems caused by this religion appear several times a month in the Americas.
But this time it was tied to "The Walking Dead", and as soon as the news came out, it immediately sparked a discussion in the media across the United States.
This is not just the tragedy of a dozen families, it is the result of the outbreak of a series of social problems, popular distrust of the government, economic crisis, religious doctrinal orientation...... And so on.
The media, critics, educators, Christian pastors, and movie fans all stirred up, with serious media discussing the social issues posed by The Walking Dead, and in the media across the Americas, "Is 2012 really the end of 2012?" ”
The Washington Post quickly surveyed 1,029 residents of various countries across the United States by phone, and found that compared with the past, the number of people who believe that "2012 is the end of Shijie" has increased by 3-5%, and this seemingly absurd Mayan prophecy has a high reputation in the Americas, where it was born, but it was rarely put on the stage to talk about in the past, if it were not for the popularity of "The Walking Dead" in various countries in the Americas, and the apocalyptic scene it described was too real, everyone would not think of anything 2012, After all, 2012 is still six years away.
As for the decision of Warner, Paramount, Fox and other big movie companies to launch post-apocalyptic zombie-themed movies, many critics have expressed doubts:
"Now that this 2012 doomsday prophecy is in the headlines, it's debatable whether we need to add another fire to it."
Many of the commentators blamed the apocalyptic craze directly on The Walking Dead, which led to a line of text before the series was aired on all South American television stations: "Disclaimer, this story is fiction and the story timeline has nothing to do with 2012." ”
Even Robert Kirkman, the original author of the comics, issued an official statement in "Image", claiming that the zombie virus is purely a work of art, and there is absolutely no reference to the Mayan prophecy of 2012.
But the more this is the case, the more interest it arouses everyone, and in the past few days when there has been a doomsday panic, the ratings of "The Walking Dead" have been rising all the way around, and it has become a propaganda effect......
