Chapter 134: Attitude
No miracles happened, and on September 11, Daniel waited for a message in bed with his eyes open.
It's been a time like this.
But when he saw that the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock, he knew that the crazy criminals had already boarded the plane, and perhaps by this time they had already begun to take control of the cockpit.
Then the minute hand begins to move step by step towards death, explosion, and madness.
When it was half past eight, Daniel walked out of the room.
Andy is preparing breakfast for him with the chef, and according to the plan, he is going to discuss the later stages of "The Greek Wedding" with David today.
"Good morning, Danny." Andy put the plate on the long table, the fuchsia napkin was not wrinkled, she turned to see Daniel, "Oh, your face is not good, haven't you rested?" ”
Daniel sat down, "I think I've been talking too much about the war lately, and last night I kept dreaming about explosions and deaths, and I died of a headache, which is not a good sign." ”
Mrs. Channing was a skilled cook, and she was usually the sole manager of Daniel's home meals, and she had been working for less than a week, and had been introduced by Jones – the mother of her colleague, a Chinese woman who had no time to spare.
"Mr. Sandler, you don't look very good, drink a glass of warm milk and go to sleep for a while."
"Thank you, give me a drink." Daniel smiled at her, "Celebrate world peace." ”
By the time Daniel finished his breakfast, the whole of America and even the world had changed, and he didn't ask Andy to turn on the TV until he finished eating, and Andy turned it on to watch the morning news.
“…… Oh my God. ”
The TV broadcasts the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center with smoke and fire.
Mrs. Channing's apron fell to the ground, but she didn't notice it until she realized something and turned to look at Daniel.
"God has given you parables, Mr. Sandler."
Daniel's eyes were straight on the TV, and even though he knew about it, he was shocked and saddened when he saw the tragic situation at the scene.
This is indeed a big disaster.
……
The center of the whole of America has shifted to New York, and the whole world is talking about it, at least in the news, whether it's politicians, activists like Fein Collins, or even Hollywood stars like Sean Penn, all of whom are voicing on the matter, and of course, the vast majority of people are silent.
Ten days after the incident, Vogue released its October issue, which allowed Daniel, who had been silent, to de facto join the discussion.
Whether it's a Fox News reporter, or Finn Collins of the Alliance for Equal Rights, hawkish politicians, and sensationalist celebrities, Daniel has been mentioned at one time, but there is no way that before and after the incident, he was the person most associated with the war and the attack, and the media was still reporting on his new identity, and the two buildings were reduced to dead rubble under the gaze of people watching live television all over the United States.
After the Vogue report was released, the buzz took to a new level, and Philip Hoffman witnessed the whole story not far away, so people kept interviewing him to try to get the latest impressions. The same can be said of Daniel, whose Vogue blockbuster was arguably the last work set in New York's World Trade Center, and in his reporting, he even directly referred to the previous attack on the World Trade Center.
The president and his team have vowed to counter violence with violence, and the United Nations is studying proposals to wage war against extremists in the Middle East.
American society has been completely torn apart by two attitudes.
Those who support war and those who oppose it.
Daniel was thrust into the limelight under his own manipulation, and what a risky move that involved almost every class – civilians, military, arms dealers, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the White House, and Hollywood.
"In any case, Daniel Sandler, a 22-year-old young man who is well known and noticed by the whole of America, and whose attitude towards the war has become the focus of a certain wrestling that he has not determined by himself, and now is the time for him to be embarrassed." The Fox News host said on a news program, "This time, he's not just in Hollywood, he's in movies." ”
Daniel remained silent, and an increasing wave of accusations and ridicule ensued, with the anti-war faction believing him cowering and wanting to repent, and the main war faction believing him to be just a joke and using him to attack the anti-war activists.
What was Daniel doing at this time.
MGM, Lionsgate Entertainment, and DD Pictures finally completed preparations for "Hotel Rwanda", Charles's adaptation of the script satisfied all three parties, director Edward agreed to play the role, and the most difficult one was Denzel Washington, who insisted on declining MGM's invitation. But after the incident, he was moved by the positive attitude about the war that the script proclaimed, and finally accepted the offer a few days earlier.
The speed with which the project progressed was surprising, of course, had something to do with the fact that MGM had been working on the script for several years, and that original screenwriter George Terry was involved this time.
On the eve of Daniel's flight to New Zealand to do some final voice work for The Fellowship of the Ring, he released an open letter to the media through PR Trick.
The open letter reads, "A tribute to the heroes who lost their lives in disasters and the innocents who lost their lives."
At the very beginning of the letter, Daniel made his position clear: against war.
He then re-emphasized his point in the Vogue interview: war is not the best option, and it should not be done hastily, and he used the lives of Americans and Afghan civilians to persuade those who support the war, "We already feel the grief and pain from the death of our compatriots, why put our soldiers in danger." Moreover, where American warplanes and aircraft carriers are about to go, there are still a large number of innocent civilians who may be in danger of war."
At the end of the letter, he said, "I do not intend to express too much at this moment, which I consider as an affront to the victims, but out of respect for the living and life, I hope that those who can decide a qiē will be more cautious." ”
Signed "Daniel Sandler Against War".
Although this open letter was criticized by many as a slippery remark of "two offenses", it did help Daniel break free from the whirlpool of blame.
In his speech, Finn Collins praised Daniel as "a man of compassion and a man of intellect."
……
Towards October, Daniel left his work in New Zealand and did not return to Los Angeles, but fulfilled his role as a Burberry spokesperson and participated in several Burberry charity activities in Africa.
Then he flew to South Africa and started the filming of "Hotel Rwanda", and he didn't play many scenes as a photographer.
So after Davy took a break from "Greek Wedding" and flew to Africa to take over DD Pictures' oversight of budget use and production, he returned to the United States after a more than one-month absence.
