Sony headquarters, Tokyo, Tokyo, Konan, Minato-ku, Japan.

When Little Bush announced to the people of the Lighthouse Nation in a nationally televised speech that America had officially declared war on the Taliban in Afghanistan to avenge the lives of its compatriots who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, Sony's top brass came together to explore the foggy road ahead.

"What's going on with the movie 'Black Hawk Down'?"

Norio Oga, who controlled the rhythm in the conference room two years ago, has retired, and now, Nobuyuki Idei, who has taken over the baton, is in charge of the overall situation.

As a veteran employee who joined Sony in 60 years and has worked hard for Sony for more than 40 years, he is already angry at this moment.

Because a month ago, Howard Stringer, chairman and CEO of Sony (USA), reported to him that "Black Hawk Down" was not as destructive as they had expected.

'Smack! ’

A document was flung to the center of the table by Nobuyuki Idei.

At the same time as the muffled voice erupted, his eyes were also staring at the subordinate who had just flown from the United States.

"On September 10, when you submitted your interim report to me, you made it clear that 'Black Hawk Down' is a pure armaments procurement propaganda film, and the meaning of its existence is to let those who have been installed by the US military-industrial complex in the US Department of Defense tell the members of the US Congress that the fighting style of modern warfare has escalated and that the armaments in the army need to be updated, so that the military industrial enterprises they represent can obtain a large number of orders and sell more goods.

At the time, I believed your words.

But now!

"Black Hawk Down" went from an arms procurement film to a pre-war mobilization film!

The meaning of its existence is no longer to allow the military-industrial complex to receive a large number of orders, but to guide the public opinion of the whole of America!

Do you know how big the gap between these two is!

Did you know that the impact of their changes is exactly two orders of magnitude? ”

When the roaring sound resounded in the sky, Nobuyuki Idei's eyes were already red, the green tendons on his neck burst out with the elevation of his voice, and the sound of heavy breathing was like a blower, making his chest rise and fall incessantly.

Sony is not a fool.

On the contrary, they are very smart enough to control the market with various products under the US blockade.

They know how ridiculous it is for a Japanese-funded company to film the humiliating history of the United States on American soil, so when they find that they can't avoid it, they try to solve the whole thing in a cold way.

From beginning to end, he does not participate in the creation, and his sense of existence is minimized.

Don't add the logos of Columbia Pictures or Sony Pictures at the beginning and end of the film, hoping to make the movie's audience mistakenly think that the film is a pure documentary.

Even when they encountered the yin and yang of North American film critics when it was announced, they chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it, because only in this way can they fade out of the sight of the North American people as much as possible.

And when everything went according to expectations, the movie was criticized by the media before it was released, and the number of moviegoers after the release fell like a blood crash every day, their hearts were actually quite happy.

Because as long as no one is paying attention, it means that they can get away with it.

At that time, they were still glad that since this was an arms procurement film, as long as the members of Congress felt that the war was extremely tragic after watching it, then the task they were forced to take at the beginning could be completed.

And now?

Things are just as outrageous as Nima's!

Seeing that the movie will be released in a week, but before it is released, the nature of the movie has changed?

From an arms procurement film to a pre-war mobilization film?

In this way, the nature of the matter has changed!

If "Black Hawk Down" is just an arms procurement film, then for Sony, they just made a historical documentary that Americans don't like, but when "Black Hawk Down" became a pre-war mobilization film, from the perspective of the United States, this is an attempt by foreign capital to interfere in the internal affairs of the country, which is a violation of the US National Security Law!

Of course, if it was just this sudden accident, it wouldn't have made Nobuyuki Idei so out of shape, what really made him angry was because Howard Stringer, the chairman and CEO of Sony (USA), was able to avoid this happening, but he didn't try to remedy it!

"Did you know? At the time of the 911 incident, you could have sent a delisting application to the North American Cinema Alliance?

Did You Know? If you withdraw the movie, then everything now has nothing to do with us!

Did You Know? Even if the American people suddenly reacted and understood that the Black Hawk incident in '93 was the root of the enemy's forgetfulness of fear, as long as we withdrew "Black Hawk Down", it would be impossible for the flames of war to burn on us? ”

When Nobuyuki Idei banged on the table and loudly accused Howard Stringer of inaction, the atmosphere in the conference room had a tendency to condense into substance, and almost all Sony executives stared at him with wolf-eating eyes, eager to dismantle this guy who missed the perfect remedy and eat him alive!

Because they are unwilling to face the violent institutions of the United States!

Because Sony's founder, Akio Morita, once reminded them all-

"Americans believe that all countries in the world should do things the American way!"

In this way, if the United States wants to liquidate, it is definitely a check!

However, when the Sony executives in the conference room were about to bully and denounce Howard Stringer after Nobuyuki Idei finished speaking, trying to make him admit his mistake directly, Howard Stringer, who was sprayed with saliva by Nobuyuki Idei, laughed and looked around with helpless eyes, taking those angry faces into his eyes.

"So...... You think that's my problem? ”

"So what's not? You are fully responsible for this! ”

"But the problem is, this matter has nothing to do with me, because even if I let the North American Cinema Alliance withdraw, the final flame of declaration of war will still spread to us."

"Yaga! Do you still want to pass the buck? ”

"I didn't shirk my responsibility!"

“Fuck you！ Aren't you quibbling right now? ”

"I'm not quibbling!"

"Admitting one's mistakes is the embodiment of no quibbles!"

When the disturbing voices resounded all around, and a bunch of Sony executives tried to press Howard Stringer's head to make him take the blame, he, who had been besieged by everyone, finally became angry, and he slammed the table with the British knighthood and shouted: "Enough! You guys who can't see the situation clearly!

Do you think the responsibility for "Black Hawk Down" to become a pre-war mobilization film lies with me?

I tell you! The current situation, whether you want to see it or not, it must exist!

Since you can't think clearly, I'll tell you little by little!

If the conventional development of events continues, after the 911 attacks, how many voices should be heard in the United States?

Both!

The first is the voice of revenge from the elephant party!

As the ruling party, they must draw the attention of the people to external enemies!

Only in this way can the population be less concerned about the reasons for the attacks!

Cover up their mistakes in terms of national security!

After all, attacking and spotting the attacker in advance are two different concepts!

And the second voice is the voice of accusation from the Donkey Party!

They should use the media they control to speak out that the attack was related to the paralysis of the Bush government, so as to cover up the failure of the previous Lapton government in Somalia!

Because this will not only promote to the population the incompetence of the government of the small bush, but also strengthen its own image in the hearts of its supporters!

But now?

Up and down the United States, there is only one voice!

Don't you think it's outrageous?

If NBC, FOX, and CNN, which already belong to the Elephant Party's camp, are shouting for the Elephant Party's declaration of war, it is okay, but when the media forces ABC and CBS, which belong to the Donkey Party's camp, are also promoting war, is this still true?

Ahh?!!!h ↘↗ ”

When Howard Stringer roared about the reality of the moment, Sony's conference room was silent.

Everyone stared at him with red eyes because, Howard Stringer said the truth that they couldn't accept.

And just when the corners of Sony's senior management trembled, trying to find other reasons to refute Howard Stringer's views, Kazuo Hirai, who returned home with Howard Stringer, as the president and CEO of Sony Entertainment (USA), also spoke, but his tone was much softer than that of his boss.

It's also a lot of helplessness.

"Actually, on the way here, I had already studied this with Howard.

After our discussion, we also found the key people involved -

Roland Allen.

If the war had been a mere affair for the Elephant Party, the Donkey Party would have been a hindrance, but with the involvement of Roland Allen, things have changed from the normal development, because the Donkey Party will shut up because of his existence, and the media forces belonging to the Donkey Party will also shut up because of his existence.

Sounds outrageous?

But that's just the way it is.

And the first thing I want to talk about is ABC.

ABC is a subsidiary of Disney, which ......

Can you not listen to Roland Allen now?

First of all, there is the unfinished deal of 98 years.

When Roland Allen was buying the Oscar trophy, he reached a cooperation agreement with Disney on the project "The Lord of the Rings", and this movie will be released at the end of this year, and their relationship is already in the honeymoon period;

Secondly, there is this year's outsourcing contract.

In the case of a bad start to California Adventure Park, Roland Allen took the initiative to take over the business of Disney Pictures' live-action film and help them do their business, when this kind of thing happens, who is the real boss?

If these two points can't make Roland Allen the father of Disney, then when Disney's animated film revenue is completely dependent on Pixar Animation, and the actual controllers of Pixar Animation, Steve Jobs and Roland Allen, are completely wearing a pair of pants in the matter of Apple?

Not only that, but in the list of major shareholders of Disney, there is also the existence of Berkshire Hathaway, and Roland Allen is not only the majority shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, but also the personal brand 'R and K' under his name only absorbs the capital of Berkshire Hathaway.

When the film and television business and the park business of the front station were interfered with by Roland Allen, and the shareholder relationship behind it was not as close as Roland Allen, wasn't the partisan position just an empty word? ABC won't go bankrupt if it doesn't help the donkey party, but if ABC backstabs Roland Allen at this time, then Michael Eisner will have to step down! ”

When Kazuo Hirai said this, the atmosphere in the conference room was already silent.

The anger that was attached to Sony's top management is gone, replaced by the helplessness of falling to the bottom.

And when Kazuo Hirai's gaze slowly swept over them, the words that made them feel even more cold, like an ice blade, continued to pierce their hearts, "After saying ABC, the next one is CBS."

The reason why CBS doesn't speak out at this time is actually very simple.

Because they were only acquired by Viacom last year, and they are still in the stage of strategic integration, there is no need for them to side with the donkey party when the business is not sorted out and the future acquisition is uncertain.

If this reason does not hold up as Disney's rhetoric, then the identities of Viacom's boss Satsuma Lei Shidong and Roland Allen's teacher Steven Spielberg actually speak for themselves.

As Jews, the reason why they turn to the Donkey Party is simply because the tendency of the Donkey Party can give them more space to live, and chaos will allow them to find more opportunities!

With their Jewish goals unwavering over the past few decades, would Satsuma Rayshidong be on the donkey side at such a time? He wished that Roland Allen, who had always been with Steven Spielberg, could make things bigger!

Therefore, their endorsement of "Black Hawk Down" is actually a common sense choice. ”

If Kazuo Hirai's previous analysis of Disney made Sony's top management smell the cold, now, when everyone listened to his analysis of Viacom, the fear that spontaneously arose made their hands and feet cold.

Because now all the media in the United States is on Roland Allen's side!

One person influencing a country's media?

This Nima's is outrageous!

"So, you think that even if we remove Black Hawk Down, they will still create a suitable environment for the small bushes by diverting their attention?"

"But isn't this kind of media monopoly in the actual sense of the word handing over the handle to the Donkey Party?"

"Even if Roland Allen doesn't own any stake in a media company."

Sony's top brass spoke.

However, as soon as these words came out, Kazuo Hirai and Howard Stringer turned their heads at the same time, glanced at each other, and laughed.

It's just that their smiles are even more ugly than crying.

"The Donkey Party won't get his hands on him, at least not yet."

Howard Stringer shook his head and said: "If you think it's enough to be able to get ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC at the same time, then I want to say that what is even more exaggerated is the active silence of the Donkey Party now." ”

Before the words fell, Kazuo Hirai continued: "Before, during the Zipton administration, the largest black march in the history of the United States broke out, and at that time, that incident was covered up by Roland Allen with "The Shawshank Redemption".

The racial contradictions that should have been triggered were interpreted by them as the dereliction of duty of law enforcement officers with "The Shawshank Redemption", and after the arrest of the Simpsons guys, the civil strife disappeared from the states.

Similarly, when the zipper door broke out, the public's attention was also washed away by "Titanic".

The key to Zipperdoor is Zipperton's perjury and obstruction of justice, abuse of power, not his peachy journalism.

But after "Titanic" took the global box office by storm and Roland Allen proposed to Kate Winslet at the Oscars, the zippered door became pure peachy news.

The public will only think that he and Roland Allenby are simply representatives of disloyalty, but this trend of public opinion makes it easy for him to get out, because Peachy News is not illegal, but obstructing justice, perjury, and abusing power are illegal.

In the case of Roland Allen's two consecutive helps, there is no need for the current Donkey Party to jump out in the face of such a general trend to find the unhappiness of the Elephant Party, and when Roland Allen may be involved, they will not fall into the trap of this guy who holds his own handle, which is why people feel that 911 makes the United States have only one voice.

But this kind of thinking is actually wrong, because the real situation is ......

Roland Allen, who has eight industries and spans the military industry, finance, and media, makes the United States have only one voice!

Don't forget, Carl Icahn, Ronald Perelman and Roland Allen are also in the same group, and they are supported by the American Teachers Retirement Fund, which manages all the teachers' pensions in the United States, and the California Public Servants Retirement Fund, which provides pensions and health funds for nearly two million California civil servants with the largest public pension fund in the United States! ”

"Hiss......"

When Kazuo Hirai's words fell, the temperature plummeted in Sony's conference room!

Sony has always regarded Roland Allen, the leg-hugging king in the capital circle, as an object that cannot be provoked, but it is only now that they have really cleared up Roland Allen's circle of friends!

The former Grand Commander and the Donkey Party are held by him?

The current commander and the handle of the elephant party are about to be held by him?

If these two points can already make him walk sideways in the United States, then when the media groups representing Hollywood, the world's largest software service provider and the world's largest aircraft manufacturer representing Seattle, the technology companies representing Silicon Valley, the leading fund companies representing Wall Street, and the Omaha prophet representing the investment community are smashed one after another......

The dust kicked up is enough to drown Sony!

Although capital has no friends, the problem is that Roland Allen knows how to make profits!

If people couldn't understand why Roland Allen half-sold the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" to those media stations, now everyone understands!

The donkey party, more important than money!

If before people couldn't understand why Roland Allen would rather sell Yahoo to Microsoft at a loss, and also pull the greedy wolf king together, now they understand better!

Microsoft, Boeing, GM Isn't he fragrant?

Isn't he fragrant with the American Teachers Retirement Fund and the California Civil Service Retirement Fund?

Bill Gates: Isn't his dad who can reach the U.S. Supreme Court smell good?

If Sony couldn't understand why Howard Stringer said that the fire of "Black Hawk Down" becoming a pre-war mobilization movie would eventually burn to Sony, then now, everyone understands!

What separation of powers restricts each other?

That's just your hand, it's not long enough!

Although the capital is all grouped, there is really no capital like Roland Allen who is shameless and always grouped!

"Hey......"

Nobuyuki Idei, who had finally calmed down, sighed.

With Kazuo Hirai's analysis, the anger in his heart has been extinguished.

"So, as Japanese investors, we're just guys who are inadvertently affected by Roland Allen, who wants to win over the Elephant Party?"

The words of prayer made this company, which was over half a hundred years old, look very old.

And just when Nobuyuki Idei hoped that God would bless Sony, Howard Stringer, who was angry with him before, punctured his illusions, sneered, and said: "From the current point of view, this is indeed the case, or if the United States can directly crush Afghanistan like the previous Gulf War, then "Black Hawk Down" will only become a mobilization myth."

But—

If the war in Afghanistan is lost, or if the United States is dragged into the quagmire of war by Taliban militants, then anti-war sentiment will inevitably erupt in the United States after a long war, and at that time......

The guy who filmed "Black Hawk Down" was unlucky.

Now the unreasonableness in public opinion will become the public opinion guidance made by the producers of "Black Hawk Down" in order to grab profits, and when this kind of sign appears, the black pot of provoking war, can we Sony still run away?

Slaughter Sony, tens of billions in hand, money in the treasury, the war is going on for three years! ”

"Huh!"

When Sony's senior management heard Howard Stringer's unkind words, everyone's faces turned pale in an instant!

They can understand what Howard Stringer means, and they know that throwing the pot is a traditional American art!

If before, they only felt that the guidance of public opinion that violated the US national security law would at most make them peel off their skin, because they didn't do these things at all, but now......

Roland Allen thinks they did it, then they really did!

The Elephant Party of Profit will not speak for them!

The media conglomerate that wears a pair of pants with Roland Allen will not help them speak!

Owe Roland Allen a favor, and the donkey party who is holding the handle by him will not help them speak!

As for the Federal Supreme Court, which can influence the verdict?

Hehe......

Nobuyuki Idei, who suddenly woke up, had a chill down his spine!

Ben was still sitting in a chair, and he jumped up instantly!

Because he remembered Sony's previous behavior of setting up Roland Allen!

And when that scene came into view, the roar that pierced the sky made his face extremely hideous-

"Quick! Go to America!! Go to California!! Go to Los Angeles!!! Go to Roland Allen!!!! ”
