Chapter 288 Suspected of a huge conspiracy that has spread across the country
In this time is all about money, the biggest difficulty faced by filming is the actor's ......
Well...... lack of "continuity" makes it necessary to shoot on and off.
Every time after filming a scene, the director, camera, lighting, and heroine have to wait for the male lead, which is the biggest pain point in the industry.
And a leading actor who can shoot multiple clips and multiple shots in a single day?
Treasure!
Soon Harry Remes became the hottest star in the industry!
After all, he has a strong ability to save a budget, and if others want to shoot a drama for two days, or even three days, he can do it all within eight hours.
You must know that the bulk of the cost of filming is various personnel expenses, and these expenses have dropped significantly with the cooling of Harry Remus's super skills.
"Fuck, it's terrible, it's all rolled up in the hairy film...... Sure enough, someone's starting point may be an end that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime," Edward wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to listen.
Harry Remes himself did not like the profession, mainly because of the lack of money.
In the spring of 1968, Harry Remes began filming this epic film in the San Fernando Valley of California.
In Edward's words, the leap of history begins to slowly turn in silence, destined to shake the world in its path.
In the beginning, he was not the leading actor, but was in charge of lighting and sound work, earning up to $150 per day.
Everything is ready, filming was scheduled to start at 10 o'clock in the morning, but at half past ten, the actor has not yet appeared, there is no mobile phone in this era, and the crew members made all the calls they could, but this guy seemed to have evaporated from the world.
Director Gerard Damiano (looking at the name, this is an Italian, not Italian, and can't make such a classic film) asked Harry Remes if he would like to take the job.
But the salary would have to be reduced to $100 a day.
This is also the reason why he put aside his good talent and worked hard to learn technology to become a technician, after all, the latter earns a lot and can make money when he is old.
Harry Remes felt that the loss was a bit big, but the heroine Linda Lafreis was beautiful and seductive, and the shooting was an unprecedented new subject, so after thinking about it, he took off and went into battle, he is a conscientious person, once he started, he was fully dedicated, his talent and work ethic were brought into full play, and it only took one day to complete all seven clips of filming!
This amazed Edward, and at this moment he was tempted to interrupt him and ask for advice on how to maintain this physical strength (he was a little overwhelmed by the doubles of Megan and Yelena), but he endured it, the case was the most important.
In this way, this epic film that grossed $60 million at the box office in the United States brought Harry Remes only $100 and no share, and even the name that appeared on the cast list was only Harry Remes and not his real name, and Mr. Herbert Stryker did not pursue this kind of "false name".
When he slipped $100 into his pants pocket, he felt that it was over, and at least from that moment on, "Deep Throat" had nothing to do with him, Herbert Stryker.
"Isn't it?" Harry Remus asked Edward.
"Legally, that's true, the contract ends, you get paid for the work, and that's the end of it." Edward nodded, "So, what's going on with Memphis' yellow-sweeping nail rake to low?" Although the intelligence of the people there is generally not high, I think the intelligence of the city prosecutor must be above 80. ”
Harry Remes nodded with deep feeling, then pulled out a pile of files from his briefcase, carefully unfolded them, and continued to explain.
If Edward's trial of the "I'm Curious" case in the Superior Court of South Carolina in Columbia City was a comedy, the trial of Harry Remus in the Federal Circuit Court in Memphis was more like a farce, a farce that prevailed in Hollywood in the '30s — from beginning to end, the characters were completely illogical, and the most common routine was to throw cream cakes at each other for no apparent reason.
The farce's director and star, Memphis City Attorney Larry Parry, slammed the charges into the faces of Harry Remus' former "colleagues" as a cream cake.
Born in Nashville, a magical place, home to the largest concentration of fundamentalists in the Midwestern and Southern Orthodox denominations of the United States – popularly known as religious fanatics.
Chinese word "Shen Stick".
Larry Parry, who was also Jewish, had to make a powerful break with his yesterday self if he wanted to thrive in Memphis—and he converted to Protestantism and became a faithful member of the First Evangelical Church.
In the gospel society, he received a large amount of gospel, which had a great impact on his three views.
Specifically, Larry Parry sincerely believes from the bottom of his heart that pornography is the root of the evil of contemporary China, and he once told reporters in an interview: "I'd rather see D products pass away in the folk than see pornographic movies!" ”
In this regard, he also explained that D products can be completely cleansed from the inside of the body through science and technology, and the damage of hair to human beings can be said to be unforgettable and directly act on the soul.
"This thing should obviously be pulled to Uncle Yang where to call a ......" Edward really didn't think much of this, in his opinion, Larry Parry is clearly a psychopath, how can this kind of person be a prosecutor?
A reporter really asked Larry himself.
His answer was: "Romans 43:4 'Because he is a servant of God, it is good for you.'" If you do evil, be afraid; For he is not an empty accessory, but a servant of God, a vengrediator, a criminal punishment for those who do evil.'" God empowered the clergy of the world to carry out the task of searching for and destroying obscene materials. ”
“?!!!” Edward's head was full of question marks: "Is this TMD a contemporary country?" How do I feel ****, the Middle Ages! Does this treat public office as an adjunct to religion? ”
Regardless, Larry Parry became the Memphis prosecutor in a way that no one could match—he has handled more than 40 blatant GHS convictions.
But the creative operation of pulling the male protagonist of the film to the dock still surprised everyone.
"Actually, a Memphis lawyer who sympathized with me told me privately that he felt it was a good way to spread the word about raking me into the dock, and that Lafles [the heroine] was easy to arouse public sympathy, but not a man who made a hairy film......"
Saying that Harry Remes opened a newspaper clipping, "You see, these are the exact words he said when he was interviewed"
Edward blinked, and began to recite the unheard of text softly, word by word, very, very slowly, so that he could be sure that he could understand the correct meaning of the long string of words.
Although it is written in English, it looks as confusing as Jan Mills' theorem.
"Prosecutor Larry Parry told reporters, 'Until Deep Throat came out, I hadn't heard of an actor or actress who starred in this type of movie. But in "Deep Throat," they portrayed such a star that it was unbearable — like your father would beat you up when you disobeyed. Yes, Mr. Stryker's career would have been better if he had easily escaped justice after the news media had contributed to his report. If at this time, hit him a few times, then he will feel awe. My purpose in putting him in the dock is to declare to the world, anyone involved in the production of pornographic films, anyone! None of them can get away with it! 'God is watching all the people!' ”
"No, how did this bastard get admitted to practice law? It was already a miracle that he could graduate from the 12th grade with his IQ...... I," Edward's mouth began to dry.
As an adult, it's certainly not a big evil to watch ***.
The government just needs to do a good job of regulation.
But judging by Larry Parry's rhetoric, this guy seems to be the reincarnation of a crusader child, full of religious fanaticism, and rashly conflating morality with law, and on that basis he has begun to abuse public power......
"I had read about this case in the newspapers before, but I hadn't paid attention to it, and now that I've heard you say it's not supposed to happen in the United States, it's too medieval...... God, Dobrynin would have devoted a great deal of space to describing this farce in his telegram back to Moscow......"
"Yes, Mr. Yang, if it's just Larry Parry going crazy, I can still handle it, although I don't have a professional education, but I have more or less self-taught legal knowledge on a daily basis, and an ordinary lawyer is here to deal with everything. But you know there's no one in Memphis or even in those states who wants to defend me, not even in the Federal Circuit. What's even more terrifying is that the trial ......"
He went on to explain the case and answered one of Edward's previous questions, the damn charge of the indictment was "participation in a conspiracy to distribute a pornographic film in an intercontinental commercial activity that affects the whole country." ”!
Harry is just an actor and has nothing to do with the crimes of the underworld.
The judge assigned to the trial was Wilford, a circuit court judge and a former member of the Tennessee Republican Executive Committee.
"If it weren't for someone like Harry Rems," Judge Wilford publicly declared in court, "then there wouldn't be a movie like 'Deep Throat.'"
Then he used an even more aggressive tone to threaten Harry's hard-won lawyer in court: "I swear, I will never ignore any defense that uses the First Amendment as the grounds, and when your client's actions are protected by the First Amendment, I will instruct the jury: This case does not apply to the First Amendment!" ”
With such a prosecutor and such a judge, the fate of Harry Remes can be imagined.
"This is not a judicial trial, this is a witch hunt! Typical Witch Hunt! Edward couldn't sit still.
Jumped up and scolded angrily: "How can they be like this, how dare they do this!" ”
It's ridiculous indeed, it's ridiculous from beginning to end.
First of all, Deep Throat was released in New York, where most of the defendants lived, and the District Court for the Southern District of New York was supposed to be the natural venue for any investigation, prosecution and trial related to it.
The Memphis side indicted on the grounds that "the people of Memphis were offended by Deep Throat." ”
It's not easy to offend a New Yorker, even the movie theaters in Times Square can see all kinds of adult movies, and everyone is not surprised by this, and there are even various massage parlors, gyms, MC bathrooms, bachelorette dating houses, the essence behind these names, I think everyone knows the essence behind these names.
Edward is proud to announce that the Big Apple is home to some of the world's most bizarre XPs.
Therefore, if a lawsuit is filed in New York, then these juries, who have been nurtured by the fragrant wind and poisonous fog for a long time, may not bother to listen to the statements of both sides and directly make a verdict of innocence.
That's why they chose to file a lawsuit in Memphis, but under the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution, "the defendant should have the power to try in the state and territory where the crime was committed"
"Deep Throat" was filmed in California and was never released in Memphis.
In addition, Harry himself had never set foot in Memphis before the trial began.
In any event, under normal judicial process, the Sixth Circuit has no jurisdiction over Harry Rems.
At first glance, filing a lawsuit in Memphis clearly violates the spirit of the Sixth Amendment.
But don't forget, there's also a very energetic prosecutor Larry Parry, who needs to be able to solve this problem that requires a lot of imagination and legal reasoning.
The Crackers drafted an indictment accusing 117 individuals and companies of being involved in a nationwide conspiracy to make a film and release it nationwide!
In this way, the crime would have taken place in every area where the film might be screened.
According to the doctrine of the indictment, federal prosecutors in any place can decide where to prosecute.
It is indeed a perfect circumvention of the Sixth Amendment.
"This grandson's law is with Gusinsky's personal instructions, right? Well, point out the way you take prostatic fluid...... Otherwise, ordinary people can't think of such a routine in the underworld," Edward was powerless to complain.
In fact, those accused of involvement in the conspiracy include technicians (who carry cameras), distributors (who sell copies), and a New York advertising agency (which produced several backgrounds), in other words, anyone who has had even a dime to do with the film will be on the list.
"Actually, there are probably more than 500 people involved in this conspiracy," Larry Parry said in an interview, "but in a spirit of compassion, we have decided not to prosecute some people, like movie theater ticket sellers, popcorn sellers or projectionists, and let's thank God for His mercy." ”
It should be said that the greatness of Larry Parry is that he has invented a way to completely circumvent the Sixth Amendment's civil protections.
The danger is that the federal government can throw people they don't like at will into the most sinister environment for them.
For example, if Mr. Hoover could instruct his men to file a lawsuit against the Black Panthers for a nationwide bombing conspiracy, even though the prosecutor only needs to prove that Chapman or Bobby Hill could be anywhere in the country (it's nonsense, a plane ticket), then 10 federal circuit courts can accept an appeal.
Clearly, Mr. Hoover would have thrown the Panthers into the Red Neck Circuit Court in the Southern States, where a black man would be a rebel not to pick cotton, and the jury and judge were all in favor of that idea.
In the same way, it is possible to sue "Carl Wright for a nationwide plan of rebellion" and then throw him to trial in the Fourth Circuit, which is "directly under the authority" of Lord Thurmond, and everyone knows that the priests of the South have a special preference for young boys, but there is no doubt that Carl Wright will be thrown into prison for making his preferences public.
In short, it is an extremely vicious and dangerous practice.
It's just that everything is in accordance with the procedure.
"I can't think of this kind of immoral routine without ten years of cerebral thrombosis......," Edward shook his head, "The name of the yellow nail rake is well deserved, buddy is probably played too much by Zhu Bajie, otherwise it shouldn't be so perverted." ”
"I'm sorry, I often talk to myself when I think about things, and in several different languages, please don't be surprised." Edward explained.
Then he suddenly thought of a company known as Nanshan Pizza Hut in his previous life, as if this routine was also quite slippery, and there was only judicial prosecution, so regardless of 3721, he asked for a change of trial location on the grounds of jurisdictional objections......
