Chapter 465: The Finale: Saving the Sky (Part II)
Daniel ended up opting for a rather unintelligent approach.
He made a public statement on his F2F and MB accounts.
In the statement, he said that his team in China and some friends believe that there is a serious risk of earthquakes in and around Sichuan Province, and he finally said.
"In 2001 and 2005, I felt this way, this time even more strongly than on those two occasions, and for me personally, I have a deep hope that the leaders and the people on the ground will be as vigilant as possible and ready to be ready for survival......
Daniel even posted the same on the Chinese version of MB.
But soon, his collaborator in China, NEW, informed him that they were under pressure to remove the statement, citing the reason that it would cause unnecessary panic. Daniel, who has always been a good talker when it comes to cooperation, verbally rejected the NEW wave request and responded directly to the regulator with threatening language. If his statement is deleted, he will speak out about the forced deletion outside of China.
This may have serious international implications.
In recent years, China has been working hard to improve its national image in the international arena and get rid of the stereotypes of ignorance, poverty, backwardness, and misery that the past has left to the world, especially the developed world. It can be said that in this regard, China has paid a lot of money, manpower and time. But if Daniel does what he says, it could render a large part of China's actions useless.
With Daniel's international influence today, his decision is really crucial.
NEW had to relay his message to regulators, and Daniel's statement was kept alive for the time being.
Although the number of users of weibo is currently only nearly 80 million, it basically includes the most active Internet group and has a huge influence on the real world. His efforts to get the message out to the Chinese people have been a success.
Especially in Sichuan Province, thanks to a lot of work of the "Science and Technology Convergence for All Beings" Foundation. Daniel's influence on the place was also the greatest.
It's hard to say how many people will heed his advice, but it's undeniable that there are people, especially families with young people, who at least have a solid foundation in their hearts and a superficial understanding of how to deal with disasters when they occur.
How much of a difference these effects will have in the end, Daniel doesn't know, and Daniel can't guarantee anything. But that's the highest level he's been able to do, he's not the one who makes decisions about the country, he doesn't have the authority to order drills or anything else.
That's not realistic.
In fact, Daniel does not believe that China's policymakers have failed in their duties - in the face of precursors. To be honest, China is so big, many places are talking about various precursors every year, especially many abnormal manifestations of animals. But often for some other reason. It is certainly unrealistic to decide to go out of their way just because of the views of some, even some people who are not mainstream.
This is one of the reasons for Daniel's despair.
In the face of such a disaster. There's nothing you can do about it, even if you know it's going to turn out. It's the same in China and in the United States, when Hurricane Katrina came. Isn't there a warning on F2F? But disasters are still disasters.
"Chinese officials."
Sally covered her phone and lip-synced at Daniel.
"Hello, Director Zhao?"
After the visitor reported his home, he went straight to the point.
"Mr. Sandler. Your behavior has caused significant disruption to the normal production and life of the relevant regions and affected social stability, which is not allowed in China. And. Sichuan Province has indicated that it has received the relevant report and will respond accordingly to the report, and I especially thank you for your feelings for the Chinese people, but we have the experience and power to deal with the problem, and your similar remarks on the public network are not in line with our handling rules - we sincerely hope that you will delete Weibo and clarify this matter. ”
"Clarification?"
"Yes, you have a lot of influence in China, and you should do a good job of dealing with the aftermath of the uneasiness caused before."
"So, what if it really happens?"
“…… Truth be told, there's no guarantee that it won't happen. However, you need to know that we can't refuse cars on the road because of traffic accidents, we can't require everyone to do a toxicity test before eating food because of food poisoning, and similarly, we can't say that ground movement may occur, which will have a negative impact on the normal production and life order of local people. This is not the way to deal with the problem, as I have already said, Sichuan Province, including the higher-level institutions in the capital now, have taken note of your report, and they will take this matter seriously, after all, it is related to the safety of our people's lives and property, and no official can take it lightly. ”
"Director Zhao, some of the examples you said are very reasonable, but this time is different. And I've been in contact with some people in Sichuan Province before, and they don't take this matter seriously, and they don't even plan to make any effort, which makes me worry about what they will do if it all happens. They don't have any experience, they don't have any professional skills, and they can't deal with problems in a timely manner. ”
Daniel's "stubbornness" obviously made Director Zhao on the other side a little impatient, but he had to suppress his temperament.
His coming into contact with Daniel was a very unusual thing in itself. If it weren't for Daniel's important international influence, it would not have been possible for him to do this, even if it was NEW's own boss or some senior official who expressed his opinion, the methods they used would have dealt with it directly, and even held him accountable.
"Mr. Sandler, China is not the United States, and you can't do something like this that is out of your control just because you don't get a satisfactory answer to your question. You know what? If Sichuan Province judges that it should be handled in this way, then we should all trust their professionalism. ”
Daniel touched his forehead, he was really, really irritable, not because of this Director Zhao's attitude, but because he felt more and more powerless, he couldn't even convince a Director Zhao, how could he exert influence on more people?
Closed his eyes. Daniel was silent for a moment.
"Director Zhao, okay, let's not discuss this issue anymore. Have you thought about it, my statement has had an international impact, and if something happens, and you still do nothing, even though I've been reminded, you know what the negative impact would be? Moreover, it is impossible for me to clarify on this matter. You should understand that even if I am proven wrong, I will not be able to clarify it at this time, because the matter itself is not even a disaster, but a matter of how you deal with it. ”
Director Zhao paused for a long time this time.
Daniel is right, things have already had a predetermined impact, if...... Even if Master Zhao was very disdainful of this assumption in his heart. However, the possibility exists. It's something they have to face.
"You've got a big problem for us."
"I don't think so," Daniel seized on the fleeting opportunity. "Director Zhao, you should tell your colleagues that it is urgent to strengthen the ability and skills of Chinese people to respond to natural disasters. It's a good opportunity. You know what? You can start there. ”
Director Zhao was not able to complete the task when he came, but went back with Daniel's "mission".
As the time approached, Daniel had become more and more desperate, and time was completely out of sight of what they were doing.
Things will still happen as planned.
Number 10. Daniel flew back to Los Angeles, and all the staff of "Science for All Beings" withdrew from the relevant area, and they prepared a lot of emergency equipment for the giant panda base. Hopefully it will make a difference.
……
"That's really good news."
"But the look on your face doesn't quite tell," David squeezed his eyes, "and you're still worried about things in the East?" Don't do that, you've done everything you can, and much more. It's true. But honestly, do you really feel anything? ”
Daniel didn't want to talk to David about this, and he picked up the agreement that David had just brought over.
This is an agreement of intent for DD Pictures to acquire Marvel, and after a long tug-of-war, the two sides finally agreed on all issues, which should be arguably the greatest achievement of Daniel's team in recent times. It is also crucial for Daniel's subsequent arrangement.
But at this moment, he really can't afford to have any energy.
Strange to others, even at the time of Hurricane Katrina, Daniel showed no signs of this - the only reason might be that the disaster that would happen in the east would be more powerful than expected. But in fact, even Daniel's own team didn't care much about his god-like prediction skills.
"Well, their price - wait a minute."
Daniel's phone suddenly vibrated on the table, it was a call from China.
"Daniel," Ye Zhiqiu's voice was quite excited.
"What happened?"
"Sichuan Province and several surrounding provinces have released the key points of earthquake prevention to everyone today in the form of TV and mobile phone text messages."
"What you said is true?"
Daniel simply did not expect that in the last moments, such a thing would happen. He had no way of knowing what they had taken into account before they decided to do so, and of course he didn't know that the statements made at the top were the driving force behind all this.
"Maintaining stability and avoiding panic is not contradictory to fulfilling the obligation to train disaster prevention skills, and you need to do a good job of explaining and persuading."
Then there was everything Ye Zhiqiu saw.
Hanging up the phone, Daniel let out a long breath, although he didn't know how effective it was, but now, he really did everything he could.
……
It's all as promised!
However, according to Daniel's understanding, the number of casualties and missing persons has decreased to a certain extent, which shows that the previous day's work played an incredible role.
A lot of people are in a cold sweat.
Including those who escaped, but also those who once advocated doing nothing, including Director Zhao.
As Daniel says, if they don't make an effort at the last minute, it's time for them to worry about what the angry crowd will do. And not now, there are voices of praise everywhere. It is generally believed that their actions have reduced a lot of losses, and this is their credit, and in any case, it is indeed their credit.
Daniel looked at his statement underneath, 100,000, 200,000, 1 million, and the number of comments was almost explosive. Never before, not even 911, has generated such a horrific impact. Almost with his own specious premonition, he saved countless people.
That's all too intuitive.
The media inside and outside China, the media in the United States, in the context of sadness, inevitably mentioned Daniel.
Truth be told, Daniel never thought of using this to expand his influence, but it was the case, and countless people cheered for his efforts.
"You're really a god now."
Kusa. Damon rarely sits with Daniel, both of whom are too busy.
What Kusa said was definitely not emotional, in the world of faith, Daniel is what he does, and it is really difficult not to think of God. In the formal, serious media, there is also an endless stream of statements linking him to God.
"God is God, that's an incredible thing, isn't it?"
Cusa heard that Daniel was talking about predicting disasters, and Daniel himself knew that he was talking about possession rebirth, traveling through time and space, which itself is beyond common sense, if the time dimension shuttle is used to explain the return to the past, then what about possession rebirth? The mere fact that the soul replaces another person cannot be explained by natural science.
"Unbelievable, really, Daniel, I had no idea that the person I fought for back then would be one, one, God! Haha, that sounds a bit funny, but if you're willing to raise your arms, you might be able to form your own sect. ”
Daniel wasn't going to continue talking to Cussa about this unnutritious topic.
He has prepared some supplies and donations for the people in the east, which need to be sent over, and there may be sequelae from all levels, each of which will require Daniel to have a headache. But no matter what, this incident has truly plated Daniel's legend with a layer of divinity - the so-called legend is to be different from ordinary people. There are many legendary actors and singers in Hollywood, but in the end, they are all still in the scope of people.
But Daniel got an opportunity.
An opportunity to break away from the mortal and become a legend in the true sense of the word.
But when he went out, in the face of long guns and short cannons, this little float quickly returned to the ground, no matter what, as long as he is alive and he is still in Hollywood, then the paparazzi, the media, fans, peers, etc., these people still deal with him like that, everyone works hard to earn dollars, and will not take the initiative to give him money because he has become a "god".
Yes, on the other hand, any legend, no matter how detached from ordinary people, but he is still a person after all!
Although it can be seen in words, memoirs, and inventory, Daniel will be placed high in the highest place, as a symbol of Hollywood, as a symbol of the times, as a symbol of the industry of actors and stars. But what life is like, or how it is, the sun rises and the moon sets, every day. (To be continued.) )
