The United States may be the strangest country in the world, on the surface it is a country, but in reality it is a corporation. The state system of corporatization and the mode of action of business thinking are the essence of the United States! Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Citigroup, General Motors, and Mobil, which are American mega-corporations, are shareholders of this huge American company, and the supremacy of shareholders' interests is the principle of the United States. Culture, commerce, weapons, oil, gold, religion, and even morality, the United States sells it all.

That's right, that's the essence of America! The president is the CEO, Congress is the board of directors, the Supreme Court is the board of supervisors, and the United States is a corporate empire that is manipulated by major shareholders (big chaebols) and operates as a public company.

Frank Pearson sat in Sun Ziming's living room, listening to this guy talk endlessly, and his heart was so tired that he let this guy laugh as soon as he entered the door. The subtext of these words is: Hollywood is also like a company, their eight giants are both CEOs and boards of directors, major associations and unions are at most supervisory boards, and film schools eat under them.

Finally, even Tino couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted: "Okay, okay, if you want to write a book, I'll help you contact the publishing house." However, I want to remind you that the American people have votes and guns in their hands, and you have to put a table out of your book! When the rioted the year before last, didn't you Asians defend Koreatown? ”

Sun Ziming took the teacup and glared at the snickering Kayo Sato, this kid still has little acting experience. If it were Douglas, he would have been like a schoolboy, sitting with his back straight and pulling out his notebook to take notes.

"Tino, you can get down to business if you want to. Here, I would like to state that whether or not to participate or receive the award is a freedom granted to me by the U.S. Constitution. ”

Tino doesn't eat this set, dealing with different people, there are different methods, this is his strength.

"Okay, be fair! There is racism in film school, but where is there none? "Shawshank" should have won the best picture, but the members just didn't choose it, what about Carl Molden and Pearson? Ming, the academy is not controlled by Walter and them, but only managed by them. Now that the film school has implemented reforms to make the process more fair, they have done their best. ”

Sun Ziming was stunned, which side of this guy's ass is sitting?

"Ming, you're a big man now, you can't be like a, catch someone with a little trick, and bite it to death."

Sun Ziming's face began to be gloomy, as if he could wring out water, and threw the teacup on the coffee table, "The two of you are casual, I have something to lose." ”

Frank Pearson has never met such a big person, and he will turn his face when he says it, and he doesn't even have any room to maneuver. Tino pressed his hand, signaling him to be at ease, and followed Sun Ziming upstairs with a purple sand teacup in his hand.

went upstairs and entered the study, Tino took a cigarette and lit a fire by himself, and sat comfortably on the sofa, and then said, "Ming, your mentality is not good now." You are not a street gangster, nor have you just arrived in Hollywood, you now have a media group in your hands, and you also control Universal Company, so you can say that you are the strongest person in Hollywood! ”

Sun Ziming didn't speak, motioning for him to continue.

"You're right, the United States is indeed like a company, and the interests of shareholders come first. But don't forget that the people have guns, votes, and unions. You now have the initiative and can claim the loot you deserve, but not too much and make them bounce back as soon as it's over. Ming, Hollywood is not an ordinary industry, it cannot have a King, this has become the consensus of everyone, since Washington's refusal to be King, it has become everyone's consensus. ”

Sun Ziming is inexplicable, when did he say that he wanted to become the king of Hollywood?

"But you're just about to put on the crown! Ming, you can make Light and Shadow the best film company in the world, or you can swallow Universal, but you must not ally with Paramount and Warner. ”

After pondering for a while, Sun Ziming said uncertainly: "Because of movies, can American values be exported to the outside world?" ”

You see, the media in the United States is in the hands of conglomerates, and no one has been able to be the king of the media industry for so many years. The cultural media industry can compete freely, but it is absolutely not allowed to form a monopoly. Because only in this way can we guarantee freedom of speech, which is our founding principle! ”

After a pause, Tino continued, "Ming, we are in a group, I won't harm you. If you see it, take it, the United States is not Hong Kong, and it is really a falling out with the college, which is not good for everyone. ”

What a mess, it's just that everyone has to control the right to speak, and the political struggle must be under control. However, Sun Ziming also denied it: "I didn't say I was going to fall out? I'm just going to be an award presenter, isn't that okay? ”

Tino couldn't cry or laugh, if the academy is not authoritative, is there still any point in existing?

"Ok, make an offer, your demands are outrageous, if the academy can promise you, they can close their doors."

Sun Tzu looked at Tino strangely, his own movie, but he helped him make a lot of money, why did he always turn his elbows out? Tino also knew that it had to be explained clearly, otherwise the two sides would misunderstand.

"Ming, remember Alexander, always at odds with Shantino? Frank was a friend who persuaded us to invest in ET and helped me get in touch with Global, when I was just a small person and owed him a big favor. There are friends on both sides, and it's uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. Now that you're stronger than him, I've got to be on his side, or what will you think of me? ”

Don't talk about interests and feelings, Sun Ziming was held by Tino with words, and he can get mixed up, relying on vision and righteousness, so that everyone can help him. Interests are important, but without feelings, what is the meaning of human life? Life can't be all about trading, there has to be something heartwarming.

Silently smoking two cigarettes, Sun Ziming finally relented, "Tino, I'll give you this favor, let's end the matter." ”

……

Coming out of Beverly, Tino and Frank drove to the Bank of America downtown, took the Golden Man of Best Screenplay, and then returned to their grandson's house with reporters. Then the first assistant in Hollywood appeared, and Douglas in a suit stood in the doorway, making a statement about his boss.

"Gentlemen, the film school has been reformed and has become an academic institution that can represent Hollywood. Here, on behalf of Mr. Ming Sun and Grandson, I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Carl Malden. He was a man of extraordinary courage and a truly great man, thank you. ”

On the third day, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Technology announced the list of award guests, the best picture award guests were Sun Ziming and Zhou Yunfa, not the usual winners of the previous edition.

'Equality, freedom, and fairness are our pursuits', Frank Pearson gave a speech standing on the steps of the academy, which won a lot of applause.

Immediately, the little golden figurines deposited in the zài bank were taken away by the owners, leaving only the golden figurine of "Best Picture", which was sent back to the film school by Clint Eastwood, the director of "Unforgiven", and was designed as a small sculpture at the door of the office building before the announcement of the list of award guests, as a memorial to the Oscars' declaration of war against racial discrimination!
