King of Hollywood Chapter 105: Patriot

>If you want to list the events that have the greatest impact on the United States and the world in the first decade of the 21st century, it is none other than 911. On September 11, 01, several terrorists selected the irony of the US alarm phone. , Hijacked four airliners and launched suicide attacks in several places. Except for United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in the suburbs of Shanksville, Pennsylvania due to passenger resistance, the other three aircraft accurately attacked their targets: the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

This disaster has changed the lives of Americans. Not to mention, since then, there have been many more inspection procedures by plane, and some jokes such as plane crashes or bombs were immediately invited elsewhere. This is still an airport with a good attitude. It is also common for security personnel to directly press people on the ground-of course, for a rich man such as Adrian who has more than one private jet, this is not a problem at all.

Others, various bills to strengthen government power have been continuously released, and the United States has begun to get involved in the quagmire, which has indirectly caused the rise of the other side of the Pacific Ocean. In addition, after the bitter wounds and the dissatisfaction with government policies, various conspiracy theories have emerged in an endless stream. Some people blame the government for its slow response. Some people have accused the government of having received intelligence for a long time. Simply say that the government created this terrorist incident.

In the view of Adrian, according to the information obtained in the past life and this life-mainly this life-this statement is most likely, since even the predators on Wall Street can get some information more or less, no It needs to be too detailed, as long as you get the key words, it is enough to deduce the matter, otherwise Uncle Anderson will not imply that Adrian will not go anywhere at home for a few days, and even called Victor to Canada for a holiday, and The godfather also left Claude with him and kept him with him for the past few days.

The US government has done this kind of thing more than once. The Maine, Pearl Harbor, and the heavy fog, almost all can be sure that they have received detailed information before they start, but they chose to let the self-sufficiency finally get an excuse to start the war and treat the other party as a stepping stone-and even There is a lot of evidence that the Maine incident was planned by American politics.

There is enough interest here to allow the consortium behind to promote, bulk arms trading, keeping the dollar linked to oil, combating the rising euro, etc. The other side of the Pacific may be a suitable target after the Red Empire, but they like to be too Tortoise, no matter what kind of provocation can be seen as invisible, and it is difficult to nibble for a while, and now there is a chance to send it to the door. Why not use it?

However, it would be foolish to say that 911 was self-directed by the US government. If the government is planning this kind of terrorist incident, it will never work for a few years. They have too much to do. Considered, this kind of things that are involved in all aspects and still need to be kept secret are easy to leak. Once leaked and there is iron evidence, the foundation of the United States' nationhood will be completely shaken. The Maine has this possibility because it is done in Cuba instead of the United States. If it is fully confirmed, then it is not simply a turbulent group of emotions can be described.

Don’t say what big consortiums don’t care, this is the most stupid idea. For 1% of people in the United States, it’s the right way to make rules and then use the rules to the fullest extent, completely destroying the basis for making rules. Unless something very special happens, it won't work out anyway, and 911 is not a special case. Although it seems that a lot of evidence has been produced after a few years, these evidences are basically inferred based on some inconsistent rhetoric. Either it is indirect evidence that is difficult to prove, and there is no direct evidence, let alone irrefutable evidence—this is the benefit of never having a suspect.

Of course, Adrian is not an absolute person. Although the possibility of planning by the government is less than 1%, it does not rule out that there are always a few crazy people. Only, before there is more and more solid evidence. He will only default to the second situation.

The Twin Towers finally collapsed, although they persisted for more than ten minutes more than they used to be, but just as the impact was delayed to 8:50 but was not cancelled in the end. At the request of Adrian and Claude, the CNN reporter at the scene was able to take this shot from a distance, and clearly captured the scene of how the building collapsed and how to roll up the dust in the sky, and broadcast it to the whole world.

This is so frightening and crippling, you can even clearly hear someone crying by the reporter on the TV, and the reporter himself is being broadcast. When I was reporting, I was so choked that this was an unprecedented tremendous blow to American confidence. That night, throughout the United States, including Europe and parts of Asia, countless people lit candlelight outdoors in the square to pray for the dead.

Adrian has done the same. He led a large group of people to light his own candles on Sunset Boulevard, but, although he sympathized with the victims, he had no mercy. It was simple. There were not many innocent people among them.

Not much to say about the cause and effect of the whole incident. Although extremists are lunatics, why extremists become extremists is an interesting question. As a citizen of this country, since we enjoy all the benefits provided by this country and receive the dividends from the war, we naturally have to bear the costs that come with it.

Of course, people who say this will definitely refute it loudly, even if they enjoy the war dividend, but even one-tenth of a large capitalist like Adrian, even if they have to pay the price, these vampires should pay first!

Yes! That's right! exactly! This is simply truth! It's just... when have you seen such a fair thing?

The strong always get more and pay less, just like the presidential election always wins all-takes. The so-called equivalent exchange requires so much to get, but it is just an idealist dream. Whether a society is stable or energetic is more about whether the rules and morality of the game can prevent the strong from taking the last piece of bread in the hands of the weak, and whether the weak have enough efforts to become an ascending channel for the strong within the scope of the rules, rather than democracy. And freedom.

So, things like fairness are always relative, and Adrian, which has evolved into a big capital, uses this event to create momentum for itself and use it to feel at ease.

In addition to what he said to Crowder that day, he also launched many people to publicly condemn this terrorist act and support the government. Many events in Hollywood about this incident were initiated by him. Of course, the scale of these activities is very small, either to condemn the terrorist activities to comfort and bless the wounded, or to pray for the rescue for the victims in the special program, to mourn for the victims, when the whole people are immersed in grief Large-scale activities are undoubtedly to death.

Although his team is not prepared, Adrian was planning before this, otherwise it would not be the first time to call CNN that day-although their reporters have received the news and rushed over there ——And demand consistent adherence to the end. He has one of the best teams in the United States, and with the media resources, it is not difficult to lead Hollywood activities. Other media groups do not have people like Adrian who have a huge influence in film production. So even if there is some unwillingness to be dominated by the media, it is still helpless for the time being, who will keep them in full swing now?

Then, after more than a week has passed, the pain of the people has finally eased, some larger activities with the theme of comfort and encouragement have finally begun, and Adrian has once again shot.

This charity party named "American: Salute to Heroes" does not have a fixed location. This is a marathon in Los Angeles, New York and London, which is led by the four major television networks and various cable TV stations. Evening parties were attended by famous people from all over the world, and even those who could not attend the site gave speeches in various ways.

All the scenes are arranged very solemnly. The candles were lit all around, and the stars who appeared in front of the camera all had heavy expressions. In addition to making some touching speeches, they recite some hopeful poems. Although the atmosphere is serious but a little dull, fortunately, there is also a link of singing.

This night is destined to be a time for the singers to shine. Whether Madonna or Maria? Kelly or Jennifer Lopez, everyone is incredibly involved in singing this song of mourning and hope, and they will try their best to Dressing yourself up looks like the encouragement and comfort of those families who were hurt in this disaster. The effect of this is indeed very good. It won a lot of applause both on the spot and across the United States until Britney and Christina played.

"WhenIamwnand,ohmyul,weary..." When Christina sang the first sentence, a distinctive taste suddenly appeared.

With a little sadness, but more is encouragement, confession and gratitude, very gentle listening, plus Christina's good singing skills. It seems to reach people's heart.

"usemeup, Icanstandonns..." When Britney began to reconcile, the feelings suddenly became high. The gratitude, coupled with the taste of inspiration, brought the whole song to another level.

It took only 20 days before and after. Most of the singers sang old songs with a theme that is closer to the current atmosphere, but only modified some of the lyrics and re-arranged at most. Although a few have written new songs for 911, the time is slightly tighter. The quality cannot be considered very high, so when this song came out, it immediately attracted most of the eyes. Coupled with the fact that two super-popular idols are slightly Fendai, a simple white dress, very in line with the melody of this song. Originally there were scenes with low voices, and as the song progressed, they also couldn't help holding their breath to listen to the sound.

"USEMEUP", this is the name of this song, this song should have been released next year, and it was so popular that it led to countless people performing cover songs and eventually became one of the 911 commemorative songs. Although there are many commemorative songs about 911, this song is the most well-known and successful-it has not been released in the United States, but has been counted on demand many times, and its popularity is evident.

There is no doubt that this is Adrian's handwriting. Since we want to use this incident, we will make full use of this transparency, not only let Norton and others modify the lyrics, but also rewrite the script to make the whole song more "choir." "Some, now even arranged for Christina and Britney. In fact, if it weren't for Christina's singing skills to be much better, he must have Britney as the lead singer. But that’s fine. The fact that he supported Britney and caused several top management changes on MTV had spread throughout the music industry before 9/11, but Christina didn’t show much. This made Adrian very satisfied. This arrangement was allowed to highlight her.

The topic returned to this song. Unlike the past, Adrian did not hesitate to sign his name in the songwriter's column after finding Norton to basically complete the song and lyrics of this song. Just behind Norton and others. At the same time, he also prepared Norton. After Christina and Britney sang at the mourning party, the song will be released as a single.

It is conceivable that if this song resonates on a large scale, what kind of wave will be triggered at that time.

But he prepared more than that, signing his name on the song is just a trail, and more is still tonight...

"Even after about ten days have passed, my mood is still heavy, and the terrifying and painful scenes continue to fly in front of my eyes," standing in the circle of candlelight on the stage, walking on the stage to carry out this The solemnity of the Adrian speech made no difference from others. "I don't want to say too much, no amount of words can express the ten thousandth of the pain of a broken family. There is only one thing I can do."

He made a long pause here: "Given some things that have happened in the past few days, I will spend $100 million in my own name to build a brand-new foundation! This foundation will be used completely To help families and all heroes killed in this disaster, and I will invite Congress to participate, every expenditure will be recorded and made public. Make this fund more transparent!"

After hearing this sentence, everyone at the scene was shocked. The American people who felt the aftermath of the disaster have generously donated their money. So far, the charity funds and the Red Cross Association have received the money, plus the participation of each participant tonight The celebrity's donation has raised nearly 400 million US dollars in ten days. Who knows that Adrian donated almost a quarter of the money at once. This will probably be the largest personal donation. It's... a big hand!

At the moment, Adrian is still making his final statement with fervent passion: "We have not been hit, we are still standing in this land in pain! There are the most tenacious, noble and greatest people here, we will definitely Rebuild our homes! God bless us, God bless America!"

Very exciting words, especially with his excited expression. No matter how calm people are, they can't avoid the ups and downs of the heart, coupled with the first 100 million donation, the warm applause is not only on the scene, many people who watch the program on the free large screen outdoors on the square also applauded.

"We need such a patriot!" The newspaper published the following headline the next day.

Yes, Patriot. A person who can immediately contact celebrities to condemn the terrorist attack, take the lead in organizing events like "American: Salute to Heroes" to mourn the victims and appease the people, and spend $100 million at a time to set up a dedicated Del family The people of the charity foundation, call it a patriot.

This is exactly the effect Adrian wants. Although he is often low-key, he is definitely unambiguous when he is high-key, such as fully expressing himself in this incident. Anyway, he always has one foot on the front desk, unless he never asks about filmmaking, he must show himself, not to mention that he never thought of taking this foot back, his The goal is the entire Hollywood.

No matter what he wants to do, no matter what problems he has, such as having four or five children, taking this opportunity to put a patriotic coat on himself, it is absolutely profitable and nothing. Harmful things.

US$100 million is nothing. Taking advantage of this opportunity in the periphery, he shorted the US stock market and made him a net profit of 1 billion. If he is not worried, he can even earn as much as the last IT Mo. One billion. The figure of 1 billion is just right. There are more people who earn more than him in the stock market. They will naturally attract the attention, and it is not wrong to take a tenth to set up a charity party.

In addition, the American Red Cross Society is also a mess~IndoMTL.com~ Just one day before the show "American: Salute to Heroes", the Red Cross Society broke the scandal, and the donations don't be used for the victims. Part of the family was moved to other uses. According to the person in charge of the Red Cross Association, this part of the donation is to deal with possible terrorist incidents in the future. Of course, although the American people are not smart, they are not stupid enough, and the emotions are violent for a while.

So Adrian only announced at the party that for some reason a new charitable foundation will be set up-there is no doubt that the news was made by someone he purposely made him stare at the Red Cross from the beginning Of accounts. No matter which country's Red Cross Association is not clean, the only difference is whether the hands and feet are clean. Without Adrian, they dare to sit in the money of such a shocking event in the United States, and sooner or later they will be exploded.

In this way, as long as you find a way to step on the Red Cross Society to expand the influence of this foundation, the reputation of Adrian will be higher and better. Of course, almost 99% of people would not know that the money came from shorting the stock market and it was from them. This is normal. When Buffett does charity, he will never hear people who believe that he has been punished. This method is very common in the United States.

As for another purpose of the foundation to avoid taxes, don’t worry, there are other means, concentrate on making this transparent and fair, the Patriot coat will be stronger. (To be continued...)
