Compared with the calamities of '94, '95, and '96, the beginning of '97 was quite good.

In early January, torrential rains in central and northern America triggered flash floods, but agriculture and livestock in the affected areas were insured, and economic losses were shared by insurance companies, precisely because the land was sparsely populated and the affected groups were relatively limited.

There were only ten unlucky people who died because of this, and the public facilities were not damaged much, so it did not cause much impact.

Of course, the celebration of Zipton's swearing-in on the 20th is also the root of covering everything.

After all, the inauguration celebration lasted three days, but it cost more than 30 million.

Take taxpayers' money instead of money, he has already floated.

In February, the biggest event was of course the North Hollywood shootout.

Since there were no deaths, and the police officers involved in the incident were only injured in their limbs, this live-action CS left more impression on people is actually how bullish AKM is and how rubbish the M16 is.

To put it nicely, it is the whole United States that the police are loyal to their duties and crazy praise for killing thugs, to put it mildly, after the North Hollywood robbery, the sales of military equipment produced by Maozi have increased significantly, and Eagle sauce's weapons are well-

Their most commonly used M9 is no longer played in the range.

Because of this situation, the ABC radio anchor even joked on the show: "We now have the right to suspect that those two bandits are hairy bears, and their purpose is to continue to sell weapons in large quantities under our blockade." ”

No way, as the world's largest country, throwing the pot is the norm, and admitting mistakes is an accident.

As for why they say that?

It's actually quite simple.

The M9 is produced by the Italian company Beretta.

If it is the equipment of Lockheed Martin that is stepped on, give them more guts, it is also an official report.

Whoever ridiculed would have been fired in the next second.

Who doesn't know that Lockheed Martin and Disney wear the same pair of pants?

The Skunk Factory, where people study the F-22, is in Burbank, and the label outside is Disney!

For more than 50 years, the two families are like brothers, and whoever dares to ridicule their anchors will get out!

Do you really think that every time you encounter a crisis, God bless you to let Disney get through it?

Every time I am short of money and can't do it, I directly ask the brother next door to borrow it!

Of course, at the same time as the ridicule appeared, Roland also brought gifts and went to visit the injured police officer.

Because he has a good relationship with the police officers in his own area, and with the party leading the way, the visit was described by the media as Roland's high worship of the patron saint of the people, and the police chief of the local police station in Sherman-Oaks also testified.

Speaking to the media camera, he said: "The first time I saw Roland in reality, he was taking his sisters to exercise in the park in the morning, I wanted to go up and ask him for an autograph, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk to me after finding me, what impressed me the most was his evaluation of our uniform, he thought it was cool, handsome, and very secure......

Previously, on the day of the verdict of the Simpson murder case, Roland paid attention to the patrol police who fled at any time, and the current deputy chief of the police station also testified: "Roland trusts us very much, if he meets him during morning exercises, he will take the initiative to say hello (set almost), if we meet him during a walk after dinner, we will talk for a while (eat and take cards), whenever there is a disaster, he is always with us (donate money and materials), and all the members of our police station like him (nonsense, who doesn't like to eat and drink for nothing?). And after the robbery, he also contacted us as soon as possible, wanting to know if anyone was injured in our police station, and after learning about the thrilling situation, he hoped that we could take him to visit the injured policeman, and wanted to express his respect in person, and thank those guys who stood on the front line and fought bravely against criminals......"

Although Roland did not take the photographer to the hospital like Golden Lock did when he visited the sponsored children.

The agency that reported on the incident was just a local media outlet affiliated with Disney in Burbank.

But—

It is this kind of small-scale propaganda that can do great things.

As soon as it came up, it was the overwhelming reports of ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN, isn't this just a stupid beep?

It is true that it is better to say well than to do well, but propaganda also has to talk about the Basic Law, right?

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

If your act of doing good deeds is hyped up by the media, to the point where no one knows about it, no one knows about it......

Then others will know that you are buying a PR draft!

First, let the local media who wanted to interview the wounded 'accidentally' find out that Roland had 'quietly' visited the wounded, and then let the local media 'curiously' ask the police to confirm the matter, and finally let the local media 'casually' broadcast it......

Make everything an accident.

Then, as the news was broadcast, the giants in the industry 'suddenly' discovered the news and reprinted it.

When these giants take the press release that has been broadcast a few days ago and make an old news broadcast, the effect comes out.

[Intimate and warm man! ] Roland Allen Brings Gifts to Visited Police Officers Injured in North Hollywood Heist! 】

[I don't want to make it public! Roland Allen refused to be interviewed by the media for personal reasons! 】

[Police Evidence! Off-screen, Roland Allen is a young guy with justice in his heart! 】

With the emergence of these headlines, Roland, who was out of the public eye because of the downfall of "Spider-Man", is back.

The low-key style has also won praise from the public——

"Sure enough, as Roger Ebert said, he's Peter Parker!"

"Although he doesn't have superpowers in reality, he's still a good role model!"

"I didn't expect that the first celebrity to visit the injured police officer turned out to be him! Compared with those guys who emphasized through the news media that the security force needs to be increased and the police need to increase their efforts to crack down on illegal and criminal acts, his behavior is the most gratifying move for those police officers who are fighting on the front line, right? ”

Even if you're putting on a show, you've got to do the whole set.

Even if you're making a PR draft, you have to make people feel that you're not sending a PR draft.

A beep with delicate makeup, wearing high heels, but doing the work of planting trees with a hoe?

Isn't this just a dumb man telling the deaf that the blind man has seen a ghost?

Since Roland is expressing his respect in a private capacity, he has to let the media discover step by step.

The fanfare of the past is only counterproductive.

And Kate didn't follow, in her words, that is, "You go alone, and you don't bring reporters, that's called hot-blooded, and the people are easy to accept, because your age is there, plus the members of the police department who want to brush up on your style, your behavior is more pro-people, if I go, it's like a show, because I'm not American, I don't have a sense of belonging to this, the robbery is just an incident for me, and for you it's safe and protected, and the two of us appear at the same time, Your fans will definitely think that we are really talking about it, and the nature of visiting the injured will also change the taste. ”

It's comfortable to deal with people who know the routines in the circle.

A guy from a civilian background definitely doesn't have this kind of awareness.

In addition to the fact that the visit to the injured police officer takes up a certain amount of public resources, after entering March, the Oscars held on March 24 are the real darlings of the media, and the amazing news generated by this is not that Tom Cruise failed to win the Olympics, but that "The English Patient" won the Oscar for Best Picture.

This movie is actually very interesting, according to normal people's thinking, that is, the three views are not correct.

The third party intervenes in extramarital affairs, this kind of plot is already very bloody, as for what to use' messing with the relationship between men and women can only be forgiven in two cases: first, in the absence of coercion, fraud, all participants are completely voluntary and do not destroy the legitimate interests of the state, society, the collective and others, and at the same time do not have a negative impact on the public order and good customs of the society; The second is that the whole relationship takes place in the context of an extreme social situation: for example, an alien invasion, a plague epidemic, a war or a large-scale natural disaster, etc., what is the difference between it and commenting on Cao and Liu?

When commenting on Cao Cao, he said the official history, and when he talked about Liu Bei, he took the romance?

Isn't this a shameless double standard?

Regardless of whether it is moral or legal, it is problematic for a third party to intervene in extramarital affairs.

As a result, a small poke of self-amusement makes people feel that what they like is good, and the special love affair that violates the traditional moral dogma under the social order is washed into a touching and profound love under the banner of art?

Isn't that shameless?

Is this the same as the guy who wrote, 'You've lost a leg, and he's lost love?'"

If you don't think that there is anything wrong with their behavior, then the people who recognize them have definitely learned-

Time Management.

Extreme challenges during the day and extreme challenges at night.

Multi-person exercise during the day and multi-person exercise at night.

Heng Pi: This is fate!

Of course, the content of the film is good or bad, and in the end it has to be left to the public to judge, Roland, who is watching the live broadcast at home, is gossiping behind "The English Patient", "Do you know Kristen Thomas?" ”

"Yes, she once made "The Tenth Man" with Anthony (Hopkins)."

Everyone is a British actor, and Kate has certainly seen each other, "What's wrong?" Do you think she's pretty? ”

"Then do you know what her relationship with Harvey is?" A fire of curiosity ignited in Roland's heart.

"What do you mean?"

Kate was stunned for a moment, and then immediately gave Roland an angry look.

"How do I know about such a thing? Harvey and I don't know each other well. ”

"So you mean, Harvey was found by Juliette Binoche?" Roland didn't give up and continued to ask.

"Shhh...... If you find the Oscars boring, you can choose not to watch them. Kate twisted her hand around Roland's waist, "Harvey does have a bad record, but you can't just see a woman and think it has something to do with him, right?" ”

"Or do you think Harvey's life is chic? Well? ”

"Eh, eh! You can't be unreasonable! The fact in front of him is that he has a relationship with the actresses in the crew! ”

Roland, who was in pain, hurriedly shouted injustice.

That's right, "The English Patient" is a movie promoted by Miramax.

But this project, in fact, did not belong to Miramax in the first place.

During the preparation process, the film's producers had a huge disagreement with the investor Fox, who believed that the heroine of the film should be played by Demi Moore or Uma Thurman, and asked them to replace Kristen Thomas, but the producer resolutely refused to change, and forced the crew to be formed under the condition that he had already invested six million.

As an independent production company, want to make a face with Fox?

Of course Fawkes won't get used to it!

When the producers brought more than 400 people to Italy to prepare to start filming, Fox gave them an ultimatum, but the producers were determined not to compromise, so Fox decisively withdrew and kicked the entire project away.

According to the normal situation, such a project can already be declared GG.

In the absence of an A-list, if you don't give Fox faces, that's not giving six faces.

Fox withdraws, and no one else invests.

However, at the beginning, the entire crew was still in a panic of having no film to film, but it didn't take long for Harvey Weinstein, who controlled Miramax, to appear in front of the crew like a god.

This dead fat man not only personally told the whole group that he would never replace Christine Thomas, but also told producer Saul Zaynz in front of the main creative team of the crew that he would not participate in the production of the film, so that he could lead the main creative team to shoot boldly and cut with confidence, and he would definitely help Kristen Thomas and Juliette Binoche rush to the Olympics!

The dead fat man's words have been said so clearly, if he still says that there is no insider, the ghost will believe it!

The producer slapped Fox in the face in public, openly provoked the six authorities, and directly formed the crew without the consent of the six majors, which is already kicking the industry order! When everyone thought that the project "The English Patient" was hopeless......

Eh, the dead fat man has become a hero who stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds!

If it's just for the money, he's absolutely insane!

It's a pity that Roland is not familiar with people, and he will not play with the fat man in the future when he gives the mobile phone to Kate in his possession, which also makes him can only nest at home and speculate secretly, and then was kicked off the sofa by Kate, who has no heart to discuss dirty gossip.

That's right, Roland, who has been in the industry for eight years, has not been to the Oscars so far.

Before, there were no works shortlisted, so I was too lazy to go.

Well, this year, there are works shortlisted, and he is too lazy to go.

"Spider-Man" was nominated for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, these two technical awards, for Roland, they are not the same at all, even if the organizing committee sent an invitation to the crew, but except for the six people who went to win the award, the other guys did not attend: the truck driver said that I had a job on my hands and had no time, Spielberg was filming, and openly refused, while Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, and Anthony Hopkins did not hear it.

We didn't nominate again, so why should we go?

Huh! They said it was okay, but Xiao Lizi couldn't say it!

When you reach the status, you are doing the right thing, and it is an honor for our organizing committee to present the award to you.

Thank you for coming to receive the award.

With the end of the Oscars, March is gradually coming to an end, and with the arrival of April, the first thing that will happen is for the truck driver to tell Roland that the soundtrack he cares about has been finalized.

After learning about this, Roland rushed directly to the other party's studio.

After hearing the familiar melody, he didn't say a word, just buy, buy, buy.

The truck driver was not surprised by Roland's behavior, because Roland used the phrase 'love witness' to fool him, and after throwing 'I can't get the movie rights, so I want to include a song as a commemorative souvenir', the three signed their names on the buyout contract.

That's right, they felt Roland's sincerity.

Belch...... Well, the main thing is that Roland gives too much.

It's just a film and television song, and Roland opened his mouth to buy out fifteen million.

and said that Celine Ondi has the right to sing for life.

In this case, it doesn't matter if he makes up the story or not.

It is true that everyone knows that film and television songs are not as easy to become popular as imagined, but there is still a probability of making a lot of money, but isn't "Titanic" sticking to Roland?

Now it's not a question of whether they want to sell it, but a question of the song that will become a hit after it is sold.

After seeing that "Spider-Man" sold four million copies, no one doubted Roland's ability to carry goods.

Even if everyone knows that Roland dares to open fifteen million, he has the confidence to double and earn it back, but they can't afford to eat the oil and water after that, because it is their business whether they are willing to sell it or not, but whether "Titanic" will be used or not, Roland can say.

He said no, even if the truck driver wanted to use it, Fox wouldn't let him use it.

In that case, then why not sell?

After selling it, they can get fifteen million immediately, and after that, Roland's popularity can make them reap a lot, and the hidden income is quite considerable, even if they firmly believe that "My Heart is Eternal" has no movie, Celine Ondy alone can be popular, but the nature is different.

Roland can get guys who don't play games to buy consoles after watching movies, but Celine Ondy can't.

After simply paying fifteen million, David, who helped him pay the money, told Roland a bad news.

Jeff Bezos has given up on the idea of continuing to raise money and has already submitted an application for listing at the end of February.

With the help of backers, the process goes fast, and if nothing else, the bell can be rung in May.

So, according to Roland's idea, he bought Microsoft shares aggressively.

Faced with this news, Roland was not too surprised.

That bald head is a very strong control, if he can see that Shouwang Venture Capital eats 45% of the shares, then he will not be the guy who will make up the blue origin alone in the future.

The alternative of 10 million shares of Microsoft stock is actually a good choice.

After all, there is no serious enterprise that can be tossed by him.

However, what Roland didn't know was that when Overwatch Ventures ate 10 million shares of Microsoft stock......

In fact, he has been targeted.
