Chapter 884: Hacking
readx;?“ North Korea is the enemy" is still a form of "political correctness" in American society, even in the traditionally left-wing film industry, and the protests of the North Korean authorities will be the motivation for some American filmmakers to be happy to put the setting in theaters - not to mention the cheapest means of publicity and promotion for a commercial entertainment film. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The ideology and propaganda method of "everything is bad in a hostile country" is not unique to the United States, and on the other side of the Pacific, the premise of a certain drama hit is the ethnic hatred between the two countries, and there is no shortage of "American characters" in North Korean films, and these characters are inevitably villains.
According to Duke and Warner Bros. plans, what should be followed is a self-directed and self-staged "hacker farce" to further expand the public opinion influence of "The Interview".
However, things will always turn out unexpectedly.
The sun sank to the bottom of the sea, and the sea breeze wafting in was less hot and humid, and more refreshingly cool, relieving the boredom of the Malibu seashore, and the occasional seagull flying above the yacht would make a few cheerful chirps, but when the deck lights were turned on and illuminated in all directions, the birds hurriedly flew away.
The nearly 400-foot Duke yacht slowly sailed away from the dock, slightly away from the shoreline, and several paparazzi speedboats passed by the periphery, but they did not dare to get too close, so they could only use the camera with a telephoto lens in their hands, aimed at the side of the yacht and pressed the shutter constantly, and then left in disappointment.
"Damn the laser anti-camera device!"
This is the grievance of the paparazzi, but there is nothing that can be done, the owner of that yacht is rich enough to install any state-of-the-art equipment; The owners of the yacht also have power, and they dare not get too close to the ......
The director's kind image seems to be still yesterday, but the events that have happened in the past years are constantly reminding the paparazzi how serious and terrible the consequences will be if they provoke the owner of the yacht.
That's right, North America is a land of freedom. They have the right to interview and photograph freely, but these paparazzi know that freedom will always have a double standard if they insist on it. It is likely that there will be an unbearable price.
The yacht is brightly lit, and many figures can be faintly seen walking through the binoculars, it is the celebration party of "The Dark Knight Rises", countless stars and celebrities have come, and the paparazzi are reluctant to leave. They can only wander around from a long distance.
On the spacious top deck, more than a dozen waiters shuttle through the crowd with various drinks, and from time to time add a few fresh and exquisite dishes to the middle table.
No matter what these people look like in private, on this ship, on this party, they bring out the best of themselves.
"Duke ......"
On the top deck of the yacht. Annie? Hathaway took the initiative to find Duke and raised her glass to him, "It's a pity that my character died in the second part, it's a pity, working with you is the most joyful thing." ”
"I believe we still have a chance to work together." Duke said politely.
This sentence is just polite, even if there is a suitable Annie? Hathaway's role, Duke does not plan to use the actress from New York again anytime soon.
The reason is simple, Anne today? Hathaway has managed to surpass Gwyneth? Paltrow became the most hated actress in the United States. Not even one of them.
Anne before? Hathaway is very popular, in the eyes of North American audiences, she sings good songs and makes cute movies. She is more open than other actors, and she reacts quickly on the show, which is simply an energy bomb.
But in recent years, it has gradually evolved into a brutal truth - Annie? Hathaway has become an actress that most Americans hate very much, and it is possible that there is no one.
Let most of the audience in the United States look down on and even hate Annie? Hathaway's emotions resonated first with the fraud scandal of "Batman: Time to War" with the Italian, and last year's New York Times article: "Do We Really Hate Annie?" Hathaway? 》。 It resonated with many people, and like all star-making and star-destroying movements, many media outlets joined in the criticism of Annie? Hathaway's ranks.
Many media outlets have also comprehensively analyzed the national public's hatred of Annie? Hathaway's main reason is to think that she is fake. But the important thing is that media outlets like the New York Times come out and analyze why people hate a Hollywood actress, and this becomes a bit of a problem.
Not only the New York Times, but also influential media outlets such as The New Republic, The New Yorker, and The Hollywood Reporter have people who make a mockery of people hating Annie? Hathaway's matter should be a serious topic.
As the New York Times put it, many mainstream media outlets put Anne? Hathaway was named the most hated celebrity of 2012, and there was a hashtag on the instant sharing called #>
Especially in 2013, her active status of black fans has reached its peak, and nearly 20,000 comments every minute on instant sharing are scolding her, and even every sentence in her past acceptance speech has been criticized.
"She calls the golden man a weapon of self-doubt, which is disgusting", "I hate her to death, I want to throw pizza at the TV".
The nation's public accusation against her is that "even eating and drinking is like acting, she has to practice in front of the mirror dozens of times before going on an entertainment show, and the jokes she tells casually are all drafted." ”
The public's dislike for her is that "she forgot to thank someone at the Golden Globes, and rushed up to make up an acceptance speech before the producer when the film she participated in won the Best Picture category." ”
With Annie? In stark contrast, Hathaway is another actress Jennifer? Lawrence, in the eyes of the public, she is more natural, cute, and real, and she doesn't care if she says the wrong thing.
Although Jennifer? Lawrence is also acting, a person falls on important occasions one after another, if it is a coincidence, there must be a problem with several occurrences, but the media needs new stars to attract audiences, Hollywood also needs to create new idols to show the glamorous side of this circle, and the public also needs a different star to satisfy their fantasies, so Jennifer? Lawrence's presence at the right time and place, combined with his own and the brains of the team behind him, has made him the fastest rising newcomer at the moment.
Even in the instant sharing of the above survey "Why do so many people hate Annie? Hathaway? The first sentence of the second-ranked answer was: Because she is not Jennifer? Lawrence.
Entertained Anne? Hathaway said a few words, and Duke greeted the people who came over, and thought about a lot of questions intermittently, until Tina? Fei hurriedly walked over with his mobile phone, and he focused on it.
"Jamie? Mr. Johnson's call, he'll call again in three minutes. ”
Duke nodded, Tina? Faye took the initiative to stop a few people who came over, and when the phone vibrate, Duke walked to the secluded place at the bow of the boat.
"What? Hacking? Didn't we do it? ”
With Tina? After a few words of explanation, Duke walked to the flight deck at the end of the yacht, and returned to Los Angeles directly by helicopter, and made several phone calls in a row, and the Warner Bros. board of directors was basically notified, Doug? Walter also convened high-level preparations for an emergency meeting.
It's not complicated, according to the plan made by Warner Bros., after enough verbal battles with the North Korean side, a new propaganda and marketing strategy will be launched, playing the trick of regulating self-theft, and then planting blame on the North Koreans to increase the hype.
It's just that before the plan was launched, a hacker group hacked into Warner Bros.'s server, but Warner Bros. had already prepared for itself, and the hacked server didn't have much value, the only thing really related to the movie was the latest poster and trailer of "Interview", if the hacker group released it, it would only be more beneficial to the promotion of the film.
The hackers who invaded did not achieve their goal, so naturally they would not give up and left a message on the Warner Bros. server.
The self-proclaimed "Guardians of Peace" hacker group has issued a formal warning to Warner Bros. that they will take further action if they do not stop promoting and showing the film.
"My advice ......"
In the Warner Bros. conference room, Duke said without hesitation, "Report the case to the Los Angeles Police Department, the FBI, and the CIA, and hold a press conference on this to make this hacking incident public." ”
Jamie? Johnson nodded in agreement, "I agree." ”
It is simply impossible to abandon the film, and taking advantage of the hacking incident is the most advantageous option.
Some of Warner Bros.' top brassips, though a little skeptical, supported such an approach.
Subsequently, there were hackers anonymously to Duke and Doug? Walter's public mailbox sent a warning email saying that Warner Bros. would be "greatly damaged" and that Warner Bros. would be "bombarded in its entirety" if Warner Bros. did not follow the request to revoke the corresponding plan for The Interview.
After being rejected by Warner Bros., the hackers did launch an attack on Warner Bros., but in front of Warner Bros., the FBI and the CIA, which had been prepared, did not cause any substantial damage, but instead made the hacking incident the focus of national attention when Warner Bros. announced it.
In particular, at the second press conference held by Warner Bros., after the CIA representatives in attendance directly declared that North Korea was the first suspect, the whole world was in an uproar, and this incident attracted even more attention than the "Dark Knight Rises" shooting, and spread around the world as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the film "Interview" has also resounded all over the world, and many people are looking forward to seeing what kind of movie this is. (To be continued.) )
