Chapter 780: We Must Fight Back

The white supremacist extremist hate culture with its "voice of hate" has a large following in the United States, and the white supremacy movement not only exists, but also spreads in ways beyond imagination, and these white supremacist adherents are increasingly using the virtual space to connect with each other and spread hatred, while in the more complex reality, they do not openly reveal their extremist identity.

Under pressure from Disney, the FBI raided several notorious white extremist groups, but found no relevant clues, as if the matter was not linked to white extremist groups.

On the other hand, Miramax did not publicly respond to the hackers' requests, and the promotion and marketing of various films are still ongoing, especially "I Grew Up in Iran", which will be released in October, and has occupied a prominent position in mainstream media reports under the promotion of many interest groups across the United States, and has even been listed as a must-see movie in October by many traditional media and online media.

The United States has important interests in the Middle East, and Iran is a thorn in the thorn in the Middle East.

Miramax has made it clear that he will not compromise lightly.

Ryan and the FBI, including Ryan, were waiting for an update on the situation, and the other party didn't keep them waiting long.

The same gossip website, the same 'broiler' from the back garden of South America, hackers exposed the detailed script of "The Torture Room" released on Halloween. Rodriguez and Quentin? The film co-produced by Tastino Zuò, which has not yet been released, has leaked the entire plot.

Although the website quickly deleted the content related to the script under Ryan's strong intervention, the speed of the spread of information on the Internet is amazing, and this electronic script has fallen into the eyes of many fans, and the future box office of "Torture Room" will inevitably be affected.

And that's just part of the story, and the hackers also released emails exchanged between two Miramax executives, filled with questions about black movie star Chris? Tucker's taunt - like a dirty, cheap boiler from Africa......

Go without saying. This kind of racist remarks will certainly arouse dissatisfaction and protests from many people.

In fact, remarks against black celebrities are very normal in Hollywood, where racism is strict, and executives of major companies often joke about them in private, but it doesn't matter what they say in private, if someone grabs the evidence and pokes it out, it is quite a troublesome thing.

Miramax had no choice but to issue an apology.

In Ryan's words, Miramax is now passive everywhere, and the stock price is plummeting. There are even investors who want to withdraw their investments, and even the Weinstein brothers are wavering, believing that this is the time to consider making appropriate concessions and compromises, otherwise Miramax may become the biggest joke in the United States.

"It's a joke to back down."

In Harvey? In Weinstein's clubhouse, Ryan sternly told the brothers, "A lot of times, we choose to compromise, but in this matter, we have to stick with it." We ......"

He pointed at himself and then at the Weinstein brothers, "We're not soft eggs who will back down when threatened. ”

"Harvey." Ryan looked at the big fat man solemnly, "How are the things I asked you to count?" ”

"There are no more over-the-top statements or pictures." Harvey? Weinstein swore by it. "No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than Richard's sex. Scandals and racism are even worse. ”

"Okay, let's keep it up."

"However, many investors are considering divestment......

Bob? Weinstein's businessman nature flares up, and Ryan directly reaches out to interrupt him. "Nicole and I are expected to lose at least $200 million in this incident, and I don't care about losing more money, I want to see what they do. And who the hell are they! ”

Eyes swept over the Weinstein brothers, Ryan said slowly, "If someone wants to divest and want to jump out of this game, I have no objection, but ...... I won't. ”

"Neither will we." Harvey? Weinstein was a smart man.

"My foundation provides low-interest loans to Weinstein Pictures."

Seeing the Weinstein brothers' statement, Ryan nodded, "If anyone wants to divest, they are always welcome to leave." ”

It was only a few small and inconsequential investors who withdrew their money, and like the Weinstein brothers, most of Miramax's shareholders have distinctly Jewish traces of them, and with the encouragement and support of some people, these people will stick around in the short term.

Of course, Ryan's statement is also where their confidence lies.

Although the hackers broke out the racist remarks, the mainstream media and websites did not pay much attention to this aspect, and many media outlets, represented by Disney, have packaged Miramax as a serious victim of the hacking incident, and also advocated that they should not bow down to threats from extremist organizations.

Public opinion cannot be controlled, but it can be guided, which is what the media is best at.

The hacker group did not take the next step, it seemed to be silent, and the time slowly moved into October, and when "I Grew Up in Iran" was still ten days away, they finally made the loudest voice since the Miramax incident.

"We've warned Miramax Films that if we don't get a response, we're not going to give up. We already have all of Miramax's network counts, including employee secrets and all sorts of high-level secrets, and if we don't comply, we will make all of them public. ”

"Immediately give up the release of "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell", which undermine regional security and world peace! This is an attack by the Jews against the Islamic world, and all the brothers of Islam should unite and devote themselves to the extermination of the Jews and the complete expulsion of Jewish forces from Hollywood! ”

"Miramax and the FBI, you can't find us. We are perfect and indestructible. Only wise decisions and actions can save Miramax Films! ”

They also warned theaters - if theaters showed "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell," think of 911 in 2001!

Some of Miramax's employees and executives received an email -- and what we've done so far is only a fraction of what we planned. If you don't want to suffer more, please sign your objection to what Miramax Film has done at the email address below. Otherwise, you and your family will be in danger.

Ryan took a shocking but somewhat speculative turn when the hacker group, which quickly renamed the Aryan nation to Maintain Peace in the Middle East, threatened Miramax with canceling the release of the films "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell" or else launch a 9/11-like terrorist attack in the United States.

At this point, the hackers finally showed their true colors. They came for these two films.

The United States, which has just experienced the 911 incident, is sensitive, and almost all North American theaters have expressed concern about possible terrorist attacks, and several theater companies, including AMG, have also announced the temporary suspension of the screening plan for the upcoming "I Grew Up in Iran".

Then, several more theater companies announced that they were abandoning the screening plan, and it seemed that "I Grew Up in Iran" was about to end.

Miramax faced an unprecedented predicament, and giving up "I Grew Up in Iran" and "A Farewell" was almost the best option.

"It can't have anything to do with the Iranian government, right?"

It's no wonder that Nicole thinks so, there has been constant friction between Hollywood and Iran in recent years, and even the Iranian government has lost face all over the world.

Bright lights dispel the darkness of the night and illuminate the garden. All the servants were sent to the vestibule by Ryan, and even the makeshift waiter was Nicole as the waiter, and their conversation with the Weinstein brothers and others tonight must not be circulated.

"It's hard to say."

Bob who has been rarely talking? Weinstein took a sausage from the long table, sat down next to Ryan, and said as he cut it, "Even if it's not the Iranian government, it's leaning toward their organization." ”

"They're very good at camouflage."

Catherine, the producer of "I Grew Up in Iran"? Kennedy put down his knife and fork, "At first, I thought it was an attack on Richard and us Jews by some white supremacist group. ”

Holding his own coffee cup. Ryan didn't speak, waiting for the discussion at the table to subside before putting down his glass.

"It doesn't matter whether the Iranians are involved in it or not." He said slowly, "This black cauldron will be borne by the Iranian government." ”

"They're really the best fit." Harvey? Weinstein nodded in agreement.

"It's now......" Ryan crossed his hands. put it on the table and set the tone for the affair, "This is an attack by the Iranians against the Jews, against the whole of Hollywood." What they're provoking is our freedom, it's the freedom of Hollywood production, and I'm going to put pressure on the federal government, the FBI, and the Homeland Security Agency. The hackers handed them over to track down. ”

Everyone looked at Ryan, completely centered on him.

"We have to fight back and salvage Miramax's image and our loss in terms of money."

"I'll contact the theater chain." Bob? Weinstein ate the last piece of sausage and "released as much as it was originally planned." ”

"Harvey, Bob, Kate." Ryan's speech was not fast, but it was unusually clear, "The dominant position of free speech that Hollywood movies have is not easy to come by Hollywood in the Supreme Court lawsuits again and again." ”

"It's a land where the idea of freedom is deeply rooted and the public is at its most enthusiastic when freedom is threatened by terrorism, and let's not forget that both films have the full support of the federal government......

After explaining the rough plan, everyone had no objections, regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Iran or not, the Iranian government's black pot was decided.

Even if they don't, the federal government and the FBI will definitely throw this on the heads of the Iranians.

In the past, at present, and in the future, the United States will not give up throwing dirty water on hostile countries.

There are other benefits to this: the irascious Iranian government will surely turn a fire at Hollywood, especially the Jewish people in Hollywood, and the Oscars, which have always been politically correct, are likely to pick Jews for the big awards. (To be continued......)
