Chapter 884: Hacking
North Korea is the enemy is still a kind of political correctness in American society, even in the traditionally left-wing film industry. Motivation to go to theaters—not to mention, for a commercial entertainment film, such a turmoil is the cheapest means of publicity and promotion.
The ideology and propaganda method of everything in a hostile country is bad is not unique to the United States. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the premise of a certain drama hit is the ethnic hatred between the two countries, and there is no lack of it in North Korean movies. American Characters, who are necessarily villains.
According to the plan of Duke and Warner Bros., what follows is a self-directed and self-acted hacker farce to further expand the influence of Interview on public opinion.
However, things will always develop unexpectedly.
The sun sank to the bottom of the sea, and the sea breeze was less humid and more refreshing, which relieved the boredom of the Malibu seaside. Occasionally, the seagulls flying over the yacht would make a few cheerful calls. When the lights on the deck were turned on, illuminating the surroundings transparently, the birds hurriedly flew away.
The nearly 400-foot Duke yacht slowly sailed away from the pier, slightly away from the coastline. Several paparazzi speedboats passed by, but they did not dare to get too close. They could only point the camera with a telephoto lens in their hands at the yacht. Over there kept pressing the shutter, and then left disappointed.
Damn laser anti-shooting device!
This is the resentment of the paparazzi, but there is nothing to do about it. The owner of that yacht is rich enough to install any state-of-the-art equipment; the owner of the yacht also has power, and they dare not get too close...
The kind image of the director seems to be stuck in yesterday, but the things that happened in the past few years are constantly reminding the paparazzi. How serious and dire the consequences would be if the owner of the yacht was pissed off.
Yes, North America is a free land, they have the right to interview and film freely, but these paparazzi know that. Freedom has always had a double standard, and if they insist on it, it is likely that they will pay an unbearable price.
The yacht was brightly lit, and many people could be seen walking through the telescope. It was the celebration party of The Dark Knight Rises. Countless stars and celebrities came, and the paparazzi were reluctant to leave. It can only wander around at a long distance.
On the spacious top deck, more than a dozen waiters shuttled among the crowd with various drinks, and from time to time added a few fresh and delicate dishes to the middle dining table. On the deck near the left and right fences, there were two rows of white tables and chairs. There were quite a few people sitting around, bursting into hearty or polite laughter during the conversation.
No matter what these people look like in private, on this ship, at this party. They all brought out the best in themselves.
Duke...
On the top deck of the yacht, Anne Hathaway took the initiative to find Duke. Raised his glass to him, It's a pity that my character died in the second film. It's such a pity. Working with you is the happiest thing.
I believe we still have opportunities for cooperation. Duke said politely.
This sentence is just polite. Even if there is a suitable role for Anne Hathaway, Duke does not plan to use the actress from New York again in a short time.
The reason is simple, today's Anne? Hathaway has successfully surpassed Gwyneth? Paltrow, becoming the most hated actress in the United States, not even one of them.
Anne Hathaway was very popular in the past. In the eyes of North American audiences, she sang good songs and made cute movies. She was more relaxed than other actors and reacted quickly on the show. She was simply a vitality bomb.
But in recent years, it has gradually evolved into a cruel fact-Anne Hathaway has become an actress that most Americans hate very much, and there may not be one of them.
What made most audiences in the United States look down on Anne? Really hate Anne? Hathaway? , resonated with many people. Like all star-making and star-destroying campaigns, many media have joined the ranks of criticizing Anne Hathaway.
Many media also comprehensively analyzed the main reason why the American public hates Anne Hathaway, thinking that she is fake. But the important thing is that the media like the New York Times stand up and analyze why everyone hates a Hollywood actress, and this becomes a bit troublesome.
Not only the New York Times, The New Republic, The New Yorker and The Hollywood Reporter and other influential media have people who take the fact that people hate Anne Hathaway as a serious topic.
As the New York Times said, many mainstream media have rated Anne Hathaway as the most hated celebrity in 2012, and there is a hashtag topic called #hathahaters on instant sharing.
Especially in 2013, her black fan activity reached its peak. There were nearly 20,000 comments every minute on the instant sharing that scolded her, and even every sentence in her acceptance speeches in the past was criticized.
She calls the statuette a weapon of self-doubt, which is disgusting, I hate her so much I want to throw pizza at the TV.
The accusations against her by the public in the United States are that Even eating and drinking is like acting, and she has to practice in front of the mirror dozens of times before going on an entertainment show, and all the jokes she makes are drafted.
What the public doesn't like about her is that she forgot to thank someone at the Golden Globe Awards, and when the film she participated in won the best picture award, she rushed forward to make up her acceptance speech before the producer.
In stark contrast to Anne Hathaway is another actress, Jennifer Lawrence. In the eyes of the public, she is more natural, cute, and real, and she doesn't care if she says something wrong.
Although Jennifer Lawrence is also acting, one person falls down on important occasions one after another. If one time is a coincidence, there must be a problem with several times, but the media needs new stars to attract audiences, and Hollywood also needs to create new idols to show this circle On the glamorous side, the public also needs a different star to satisfy their fantasies, so Jennifer Lawrence appeared at the right time and the right place, together with the minds of herself and the team behind her, she has become the most rising star at present. Quick newcomer.
Even in the instant sharing of the survey Why do so many people hate Anne? Hathaway? In the options, the first sentence of the second answer is: because she is not Jennifer Lawrence.
After a few words with Anne Hathaway, Duke greeted the people who came over, while thinking about a lot of questions intermittently. He didn't concentrate until Tina Fey hurried over with her mobile phone.
Mr. Jamie Johnson's call, he will call back in three minutes.
Duke nodded, Tina Fey took the initiative to stop a few people who came over, and when the phone vibrated, Duke walked to a secluded place at the bow.
What? Hacked? We didn't do it?
After talking to Tina Fey, Duke walked to the flight deck at the end of the yacht, took a helicopter back to Los Angeles, and made several consecutive phone calls. Most of the Warner Bros. board members were notified, and Doug ? Walter also convened high-level preparations for an emergency meeting.
The matter is not complicated. According to the plan drawn up by Warner Bros., after enough verbal battles with North Korea, a new marketing strategy will be launched, playing the trick of self-regulation and self-stealing, and then framing the North Koreans to increase hype heat.
It’s just that the plan has not been launched yet, and a hacker organization has invaded Warner Bros.’s server, but Warner Bros. has already prepared for itself. The hacked server does not have much value. The only thing that is really related to the movie, On the contrary, it is the latest poster and trailer of Interview. If the hacker organization releases it, it will only be more beneficial to the promotion of the film.
The invading hackers did not achieve their goals, so naturally they would not let it go, and left a message on Warner Bros.'s server.
The hacker group, which calls itself Peacekeepers, has issued a formal warning to Warner Bros. that they will take further action if it does not stop promoting and screening The Interview.
My advice……
In the conference room of Warner Bros., Duke said without hesitation, Report the case to the Los Angeles Police, the FBI and the CIA, and at the same time hold a press conference to make this hacking incident public.
Jamie Johnson nodded, I agree.
It is impossible to give up the film, and using the hacking incident is the most beneficial option.
Some Warner Bros. executives, though skeptical, still support such an approach.
Subsequently, another hacker anonymously sent a warning email to Duke and Doug? Plan accordingly, and Warner Bros. will be bombarded as a whole.
After being rejected by Warner Bros., the hackers did launch an attack on Warner Bros., but in front of the well-prepared Warner Bros., the FBI and the CIA, they did not cause any substantial damage. In the case of the announcement, the hacking incident became the focus of attention in the United States.
Especially at the second press conference held by Warner Bros., the representatives of the Central Intelligence Agency directly declared that North Korea was the first suspect, and the whole world was in an uproar. The shooting case of The Dark Knight Rises spread all over the world at the fastest speed.
At the same time, the movie Interview is also resounding all over the world, and many people are eagerly waiting to see what kind of movie it is. (to be continued ^)
