Chapter 642: A Tragic Incident Occurred

"Tsk, this publicity is really good, it's all praise." Edwin Catum at DreamWorks Animation Studios looked at the Los Angeles Times in his hand and said.

"Yes, I didn't expect Studio Lucas and MGM to be so good at playing, and now even the national children's rights organizations and many local children's organizations are calling on parents to watch Captain Hook when the time comes, and this wave of marketing is better than Disney, which mainly makes movies for minors." John Lasseter, who has many years of experience working at Disney, also said with emotion.

The prize quiz held in the United States is enough to attract huge attention, and then some children will be invited to participate in the roadshow around the country, and the invitation is also very in line with the idea of anti-discrimination, half of them are ethnic minority children of color.

Of course, in order to avoid provoking unnecessary contradictions, the creators have been careful not to let these minority children talk about the things they are usually discriminated against, and they have strictly restricted the media present to ask these questions in order to attract attention.

During the roadshow in San Francisco, a local tabloid asked a very heated question despite the crew's advance notice, and the white reporter was kicked out on the spot.

Of course, fortunately, it was a white reporter, and if it was a black reporter, the head of propaganda would not dare to chase people out, because they would be labeled as racist if they didn't do well.

This kind of political correctness in Hollywood is only on its head now, and after twenty or thirty years, this kind of political correctness will spoil the black buddies.

The absence of a black nomination for the Academy Awards can be described as racism, and the absence of a black person winning the award is also racism.

It's like touching porcelain, it's going to lie to you anyway, and if you don't satisfy them, then you're racist.

The Chinese people don't like the black Marvel movie Black Panther have been labeled as racist.

It's a matter of racial discrimination, isn't it because you don't like movies, it's because movies are not good, but who cares about you, don't like a certain movie, just because there are black people starring in it, he can say that you are racist, and you are justifiable, it's so unreasonable.

The main purpose of the roadshow is interaction, a peaceful interaction, although the core of the propaganda is no skin color and no borders, but about anti-discrimination such easy to cause contradictions will not be used all the time.

What could be more harmonious and friendly than a group of kids of all colors happily playing games and interacting with the creators of the movie.

Captain Hook's propaganda was in full swing, and the huge repercussions caused even suppressed the Hillsborough massacre that occurred in Sheffield, England.

However, the publicity team did not get carried away because of this, but stopped all publicity as soon as possible, and all the main creators expressed their condolences for the victims at the roadshow, and also denounced the dereliction of duty of the police, which was the main reason for the tragedy.

In mid-April 1989, in the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, due to structural problems and organizational disorder, 5,000 Liverpool fans were still unable to enter after the start of the game, and the police officers opened the doors without giving the necessary guidance.

After the tragedy of the big and small stadiums since 1980 and the crowding of the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Forest last year, South Yorkshire police still failed to take the safety of fans seriously.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, the players of both teams began to enter the stadium and the cheers could be heard from the fans outside the stadium, but they were still trapped outside the stadium. While the fans continued to pour in, the game was not postponed because of them.

5,000 people tried to pass through the turnstiles, and their squeezing outside the turnstiles caused concern for the police. Marshall, the police officer in charge of maintaining order outside the West Stand, asked the command center for permission to open Gate C (which was originally used as an exit gate, but did not have a turnstiles) to let fans in.

And so, the gates of hell were opened.

Fans rushed up and broke in, revealing an underground passage leading to the platform. In this era, football hooligans were rampant in England stadiums, and the police separated the Hillsborough West Stand stands into several areas with barbed wire fence in order to better maintain order on the scene.

One of them, located at the exit of the underpass, is the No. 3 and No. 4 sub-districts (just behind the Liverpool goal). Hillsborough's 10-year-old security licence shows that the two complexes can accommodate 2,200 people, while its actual maximum capacity is less than 1,700.

Police or security personnel were supposed to stand at the entrance to the passage and direct people to the stands on either side, but they failed to do so. This resulted in extreme congestion in the middle of No. 3 and No. 4 districts, while the stands on both sides were empty.

More than 2,000 people poured in, and the number of people standing in the stands reached twice the capacity. Initially, there was room to walk to the front of the stands, but soon people couldn't move their arms, let alone their bodies. Some were screaming, others were silent and unconscious. No one can move, not even an inch.

The game had already begun, and Liverpool hit the post with a shot on goal, causing a commotion at the scene. The fans who were still in the underground passage were even more anxious after hearing the sound, and desperately squeezed forward, hoping to enter as soon as possible. At this time, the No. 3 and No. 4 districts were already overcrowded, and a large number of fans at the front were squeezed into the barbed wire. What's even more regrettable is that the fans who are constantly squeezing into the stadium at the back don't know what's going on at the front of the platform, and they just rush in one by one. Some people's faces are even squeezed out of shape. People began to fall silent, unconscious, unable to breathe, and someone could clearly hear the sound of a broken sternum.

Eventually, the crowding, which resulted from police negligence and inaction, resulted in serious stampede casualties, resulting in the death of 96 people and the injury of more than 200.

But the police immediately put all the blame on the Liverpool fans by Police Chief Dukenfeld, who he claimed were the fans who broke through the door. A few minutes later, Kelly relayed the lie to the world's media: a shocking disaster had occurred, and Liverpool fans were fully responsible.

All the media blamed Liverpool's football hooligans for the tragedy, and the hat has been weighing heavily on the heads of Liverpool fans for decades since.

However, only Qiao Feng knows the truth of the matter best, before the crossing, the United Kingdom reopened the investigation of the tragedy, and finally British Prime Minister Cameron immediately expressed the deepest apology to the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who were tragically killed in the tragedy in 1989. Cameron confirmed that the accusation that Liverpool fans were responsible for the Heathborough tragedy was unfair, and that they were only victims of the tragedy.
