Chapter 54, it is difficult to ride a tiger

Just when the Korean people were falling asleep, an article was published in the American magazine "Time", which is known as the most authoritative magazine on the other side of the ocean.

"They Almost Ruined Him" was published in the latest issue of the weekly magazine, and the cover character is the most talked about in South Korea at the moment - Jung Zhi!

In everyone's cognition, Zheng Zhi can be on the cover of the sports version of "Time" and the cover of the music version. Even an art edition cover.

But when the Koreans saw the section where he appeared, they were a little confused. He appeared in the movie version!

What's wrong with the world? I've never heard of anything great about what he's done with movies, have you? Could it be that Time magazine made a fuss?

And why do you feel panicked when you look at this topic, as if you are going to be unlucky!

When they actually clicked in and saw the content, they learned that this man who was named the most tossed by South Korea had written a movie script called "Birdman"! He served as a film music producer and editor. Art Producer.

This qiē doesn't seem to be much! After all, there are too many bad movies these years, as long as you are famous enough, it is no problem to hang a few titles.

But this movie was nominated for the Golden Lion Award before it was officially released, and it was also selected as the opening film, no matter how you look at it, it's not the rhythm of a bad movie!

Is there really anyone willing to let him be named for such achievements?

But that's not the point, the point is that the title "They Almost Ruined Him" is deeply malicious!

In the article, James first talked about Zheng Zhi's film talent, focusing on the talent of script and art!

You know, in today's Hollywood, it's also hard to find good scripts.

James highly admired Zheng Zhi's script skills, praising it as: thinking what others have not thought of, the magic lies in the ingenuity of subversion.

In the second half of the article, the style suddenly changed.

Zheng Zhi said that he was recently banned by South Korean public opinion! The reason is that South Korean public opinion believes that he should be held responsible for a car accident and should be punished for murder!

And as far as this newspaper knows, this accident was just a planned pursuit of the method! There was a hint of absurdity, but the incident itself did not cause any bad consequences!

But the South Korean people are not relenting about it! They found Zheng Zhi guilty and demanded that the government punish an American citizen!

This American citizen has not received even a single won of income in this country, but has selflessly donated 10 billion won to the country's basketball industry! In this way, the whole of South Korea firmly demanded that one be convicted without a trial and only based on popular speculation!

And according to our understanding, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened in South Korea! South Korea, a nominal democracy, used public opinion violence to force many artists and many career failures to commit suicide!

The following is a series of celebrity artists, entrepreneurs who are overwhelmed by the pressure of public opinion, choose to commit suicide or are forced to give up their careers.

For a while, all those who read this article were afraid in their hearts.

Among the reasons for suicide, James gives a poignant and immersive description of the kind of public opinion pressure that collapses, the kind of national hysteria, unrelenting, and unsubstantiated public opinion violence.

At the end of the article, James wrote: "This is a desert of the rule of law! Here, the chaebol controls the trend of public opinion, inciting the heat of public opinion, and the people rejoice in the supreme power they criticize to their heart's content. He has no guilt, stands on the moral high ground, and blames anyone who dares to make a mistake at will, no matter how trivial the mistake is, as long as the people are not satisfied, the violence of public opinion will always press on you, until you collapse, until you satisfy them! ”

"Is such a country really a democratic and civilized country? It reminds me of some bad memories. In the end, we must be glad that Zheng can choose to leave there, if he was born there, his career, his family, everything is there, then maybe what we hear today will be his obituary! ”

As soon as the article was released, relying on Zheng Zhi to win the NBA championship, "Happy" was a hit, and "Birdman" was strongly promoted, and it was immediately noticed by countless people. Countless people have set their sights on Korea!

The world is concerned about the issue of public opinion violence involved in the Zheng Zhi case, and countless evil acts of public opinion violence have quickly cast a shadow on this originally glamorous country.

The South Korean government has always been passive in the face of the Zheng Zhi case! It stands to reason that this case should be promptly investigated and properly resolved.

However, after the case, the party Quan Ningyi left the country in a hurry, and then disappeared. There is no prosecutor, victim, how can this case be filed?

By the time they wanted to announce the government's position, the public had already formed a terrible wave of public opinion, and many politicians had also taken a fancy to this possibility. Suddenly, the voices within the government were no longer unanimous.

And by the time the incident alarmed the leadership, Zheng Zhi had already left the country at this time, and Zheng Zhi, as a US citizen, had no reason or guts to detain him without filing a case for investigation!

and then to the later development, without even giving the South Korean side any time for public relations, things have been pushed to an extremely passive situation!

The South Korean government, which has always liked to borrow public opinion, has truly learned the horror of public opinion.

Zheng Zhi's many fans in the United States and around the world joined forces to protest, and countless democratic institutions and human rights organizations spoke out!

On the third day of the development of events, the US ambassador to South Korea sent a note to South Korea! Question why the South Korean government did not file a case against the media that Zheng Zhi sued for false reports, and some people spread rumors to damage Zheng Zhi's reputation!

The South Korean government's own image has been damaged, and many South Korean athletes in Europe and the United States have been asked about their positions, and they have been affected by their ambiguous attitudes.

South Korea's Blue House, a woman looked at the people in front of her with a somewhat solemn face: "Everyone, what do you think of Zheng Zhi's case!" ”

There was silence!

The incident itself can be said to be insignificant, but it has developed to the point where it has completely exceeded everyone's expectations!

It's just that when asked by the lady sitting at the top, there must be a response: "The most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the impact of the incident!" A middle-aged man said.

"How do you eliminate the impact? Now those media organizations in the West are staring at us. Another asked rhetorically.

In fact, the really tricky thing is that public opinion in South Korea has indeed been on the verge of spiraling out of control. In many cases, the government does not dare to confront, which makes it difficult for the South Korean government to respond confidently to Western questions.

What can you say when everything you have done has been completely exposed?

At the end of the meeting, the lady sitting at the top clapped the board and said, "Find this Zheng Zhi and ask him what he wants!" We can meet some of his demands from a non-principled standpoint, and let him cooperate with us to resolve the matter of the note from the US Embassy as much as possible! ”

The eyes of everyone below were staggered, and they were a little unsure in their hearts. As for Zheng Zhi, they have all learned a little about him these days.

Needless to say, he has a successful business in his own right, but he doesn't have a business in South Korea. The only cooperation with Samsung is also for the US market.

And if you boycott the brands he endorses, look at what he endorses!

Nike sub-brand, Mercedes SUV, Samsung sports series phones, the rest is gone!

The Nike sub-brand sells well in Europe and the United States, and the most important thing is that he is invincible in the Chinese market because of his father's Chinese identity. The Korean market is naturally good for them, and if they don't have it, it's not a big problem, at least it's not a bargaining chip that can force the other side to make concessions.

Mercedes-Benz's sales in South Korea are really small, if you want a big factory like Mercedes-Benz to make concessions, unless the South Korean government has enough good reasons, if under the current circumstances, Mercedes-Benz cancels the cooperation with Zheng Zhi because of the pressure of the South Korean government, not to mention the expensive liquidated damages, but the protests of the European and American people are enough for Mercedes-Benz to drink a pot.

As for Samsung, Samsung's work and his cooperation are still in the design stage, and it is not an endorsement, but a design and development of product series, such an investment, is it really willing to terminate? Who will bear the loss?

And the company run by his family can't resist at all, the other party is a complete technology monopoly in the industry, and the main market is not in South Korea.

Negotiate with him, it is impossible for the South Korean government to give government bribes, and the other party basically does not have preferential business policies in South Korea.

At this time, South Korea has completely fallen into a state of passivity.

More importantly, the focus of public opinion in the West is the government's concern about the loss of control of public opinion. How can such a thing as public opinion violence be resolved at the political level? If it could have been resolved, the South Korean government would not have dragged it out until today! Due to the national conditions, it is difficult to save the gods.

Zheng Zhi's blow really hit the key point of the South Korean government.

In this context of public opinion, Zheng Zhi demanded that the media be held accountable for false reports and that the people be compensated for spreading rumors.

This can't be PR! It's hard to ride a tiger!
