Chapter 218: Dangerous Events

The security personnel at the venue quickly protected Daniel and the others behind them, while the other group dragged away the shooters who were killed.

Daniel glanced at the other party's face, a typical oriental face, and ordinary Americans may not be able to tell whether this is a ZG person or a Japanese person, but Daniel certainly doesn't have this problem, he can tell at a glance that this is the appearance of a Japanese person......

"Japanese?"

Miller looked around vigilantly with a gun, he was so negligent that he couldn't even shoot at the first time, but a security guard decisively killed the attacker after the other party opened fire.

"Daniel, I suggest getting out of here right away."

Daniel frowned and thought for a moment.

"Wait a minute."

A few minutes later, an official from the organizing committee, who belongs to Oxfam America and is one of the organizers of the conference, hurried out of the venue.

The other party was obviously shocked, and was relieved to see that there were no casualties on Daniel's side. The Japanese or Japanese citizen didn't shoot accurately enough, so he aimed at Daniel and shot at him, but it was so bad that he didn't even touch Daniel's car.

The officer spoke with the person in charge of security and learned about the situation.

After the security personnel dragged him down, they would certainly search his documents to determine whether it was an accident or an organized terrorist attack.

"The attacker was a Japanese man named Chadley. Harris, they found some militant war propaganda material in his carry-on bag. Preliminary estimates, it should be a pro-war fanatic, you know, Daniel, your prestige is very high in the anti-war crowd right now, which calls for more people to join the anti-war ranks, especially young people. This has upset some of the activists, and I suggest you increase your security level. ”

Daniel nodded, remembering the face that had been shot in the head. It's still a little uncomfortable, but the other party is Japanese, so it can obviously alleviate this discomfort to the greatest extent.

"Daniel?"

"Huh?" Daniel saw the other party's inquiring eyes and understood that he was asking if he would attend the meeting. "Well, of course, let's go inside, it's just an accident, we don't need to choke on food."

"Danielβ€”"

Miller tried to block his decision.

"It's fine. You hand over to the police, and I'll accept their request for transcripts later. ”

Daniel, Kusa, and the officials of the organizing committee walked into the meeting hall together.

The venue included a number of experts, professors, and social figures, and the biggest figure was the senator of New York State. Clinton, former first lady, is now a strong woman in politics.

"I'm so glad to see you're okay."

Hillary's hard face showed a contrived expression of concern, which was indeed hard to bear.

Daniel looked at the attendees who were about to gather around. Had to resort to a microphone.

"I'm fine, it was just a small accident, don't let me affect the whole process of the meeting, that would make me feel uneasy."

Stripped of the dangerous incident at the door, Daniel was still well at the meeting.

After expressing a consistent attitude toward the Iraq war, he called on both sides to act more rationally on both sides of the war and those who oppose it, and also hoped that everyone would be wary of the extremist ideas of some Americans, which may add to the soil for terrorist activities.

By the end of the event, more journalists had gathered outside the venue.

Just the sudden event. Apparently it has spread throughout the United States, and even around the world, because Daniel has seen the faces of many countries.

"The police chief has just announced the preliminary findings." Miller whispered in Daniel's ear, "The attacker was a taxi driver. He had a bad record at the police station, and he was arrested for supporting the war in Iraq and attacking anti-war activists during a march. ”

"Hello Daniel, I would like to ask you what you think of this attack, and about the other party's Japanese identity. Do you feel anything special? ”

The questioner was apparently a reporter from a Japanese media, and Daniel squinted at the Sankei Shimbun.

"I regret that I have personally experienced an extreme event, and I think this kind of behavior is unforgivable and incomprehensible. Everyone has the right to express their views peacefully, but it is clearly not advisable to promote opinions through attacks. As you all know, my new movie "The Pianist" is coming out, so I have learned that in World War II, militarism brought serious harm to ZG, other Asian countries, including the United States, and I think that both Japanese people and Americans should understand the evil level of war. We all need to be fully aware of the mistakes of the past in order to avoid the wars of today. ”

"Daniel, we note that your Science for All Foundation, earlier this year, provided advanced medical equipment to a ZG laboratory for the study of the SARS virus. Do you understand this action? ”

Of course, this is a job led by Daniel.

It contains a lot of factors, of course, there is the hope of contributing to the virus crisis, and there is also a sense of responsibility as a ZG person in the previous life, but from a practical point of view, this is a good opportunity for Daniel to infiltrate the influence of ZG, in fact, the "Science and Technology Benefiting All Beings" Foundation does not only donate medical equipment to Academician Zhong Nanshan's laboratory, but also takes the lead in organizing some international experts and ZG's domestic exchange activities, in a criticism of ZG's ineffective response, this pragmatic attitude and help, The head of the foundation, Ms. Jin Li, was also met and thanked by some senior officials of ZG.

Daniel, however, decided to keep a low profile.

In the United States, attitude towards China is always the most complicated matter, and this trend will become more serious over time, so Daniel will not get involved in this discussion.

Therefore, in answering this question, he appears to be a bit of an understatement.

"Yes, I've been following the Foundation's operations, and I think it's been very successful, in all its work."

Regardless, it is interesting to compare the above two questions.

Some media outlets willing to discuss the issue were apparently able to come to the conclusion that Daniel was more pro-China than Japan.

In the United States, this has not attracted much attention, and there is more interest in the attack on Daniel and his anti-war arguments. All kinds of media and people, whether they are Democrats or Republicans, whether they are for the war or against the war, whether they are Daniel's opponents or his friends.

All did not hesitate to stand up and accuse the attackers.

This is the absolutely correct move.

But in Asia, especially ZG and Japan, there has been quite a lot of discussion about Daniel's intentions.

From "Gladiator" to "The Lord of the Rings", Daniel is already the most well-known and popular Hollywood star in ZG China, and there are quite a lot of invitations to visit BJ, the most recent such as the invitation of the SH International Film Festival, they hope that Polanski's "The Pianist" can be exhibited, and hint that they will give him the best actor.

Daniel declined the invitation, but he was looking for a better opportunity to visit ZG - for himself, the ZG market may not be of much use in the short term, and it will not make him more famous. But for DD Pictures, as well as Daniel's investment department, a fast-growing film market requires energy no matter what.

But he still has time, at least before "Avatar" made the ZG market come out, that is, before 2010, ZG was only a secondary market of less than $50 million in Hollywood, and it couldn't even be compared with Japan. And although they are quite closed, the ZG film market is obviously more difficult to operate than Japan -- after all, Japan is the little brother of the United States, and Hollywood, the representative of American soft power with great influence, still has a huge ability to operate in japan.

This wave of ZG media reports has popularized one thing to the public, that is, a Daniel foundation has helped ZG fight against **. The current ZG media is not as strong as the United States will be in the future, so most people are full of pride in the information they receive.

Such a well-known world-class star loves ZG more between China and Japan, which produces a little vanity.

In Japan, on the other hand, Daniel's reputation has been somewhat damaged.

Koizumi had just visited the building that housed war criminals, and militaristic sentiment in Japan was rampant.

However, it is undeniable that the attackers were always of Japanese descent.

Influence is always further strengthened in this kind of positive or negative, positive or negative events.

Being able to earn a piece of space at this time is enough to show how concerned Daniel is.

But the accident also caused some trouble for Daniel's itinerary, and he has always been strict about the proportion of exposure to public affairs - he is first and foremost a Hollywood practitioner, and all other identities should not get in the way of this for the time being. So after getting extra attention about the attack, he had to cancel meetings with some people and visit a retirement home for veterans.

Fortunately, anyone who encounters such a life-threatening thing will have some reaction, and Daniel's performance has been quite brave.

……

"I've become an assassinated big man so quickly."

When Daniel browsed the news, he was still interested in joking with Deshar.

The media referred to him and John. Lennon, the soul of the Beatles, likewise, a well-known pacifist, is on a par.

"They are all talented, concerned about peace and have significant influence in different fields. The difference, perhaps only one thing, is that Lennon was killed by his own fans, while Daniel was threatened by the war maniac, and luckily, he escaped. (To be continued.) )
