Chapter 552: Use his shield to attack his spear!
The reason why Li Youzhi was not in a hurry to shoot "Parasite" during this period was that he was busy recruiting LGBT crew members from Hollywood to the crew...
Although he had never filmed a serious movie in Hollywood, Li Youzhi had heard about the situation there.
As the forefront of American social opinion and the most exposed cultural circle, the LGBT trend has already swept the entire Hollywood...
The reason for this situation is actually because Hollywood is killing itself. In fact, at the beginning, LGBT had nothing to do with the cultural industry. Only a few male and female stars came out, but the overall trend in Hollywood was still normal.
Everything originated from a previous election. A clever politician won a wave of big news by luring Hollywood celebrities and boldly publicly supporting same-sex marriage, which earned enough money for his campaign team.
It was this wave of performance-like operations that determined the final victory of this clever politician. There is no doubt that this is indeed a good move in the political field.
It is precisely because of this wave of operations that the Western elite suddenly found that holding the banner of caring for minority groups to engage in political operations is simply a bug-level operation!
No matter whether you really want to fight for the legal rights of minority groups, or simply use this as a guise to gain fame and fortune, as long as you use this trick, the effect will be a whirlwind charge tornado, the best of the world!
With the king bomb in hand, how can you not fight?
So, the wind of political correctness about LGBT blew up. Because this trend started from some Hollywood stars at the beginning, Hollywood became the forefront of the LGBT trend.
In fact, at the beginning, LGBT in Hollywood was relatively normal, but some stars who had not announced their coming out before officially announced it.
But because politicians catered to it, for example, the government appointed transgender people as "four-star generals", even if this person had never served in the army, he was easily promoted because of his special identity. The LGBT movement in Hollywood has also gradually changed.
People’s original intention of calling for freedom and longing for progress is good. At some stages, public opinion will promote positive changes in the superstructure of society and promote the progress of the times. But at other times, the public’s urgent desire to change the status quo is also easily exploited by the ruling elites. The ruling class deliberately magnifies individual problems to cover up the main contradictions; amplifies extreme remarks to drown out rational voices; and even deliberately creates some extremely unreasonable problems to divert public attention and prevent people from targeting the core interests of the elites...
From the beginning, they faced their psychological gender calmly, and later some opportunistic groups began to use this politically correct identity to seek super treatment. In the end, Hollywood practitioners discovered a very scary fact; if you are not an LGBT group, you have no chance at all, and all the benefits are taken away by others!
From here on, the LGBT trend in Hollywood practitioners and the acting industry can no longer be contained.
What does this posture look like?
It's just like the fairy jade syndrome in China before - as long as I have jade syndrome, you have to give in to me, so the average jade syndrome...
Now, the normal gender group in Hollywood has actually become a minority, and the LGBT group has become the opinion master in various unions in Hollywood.
It is precisely because he is familiar with the current version of Hollywood that Li Youzhi took the initiative to contact several unions in Hollywood before the Hollywood crew started working.
According to the regulations here, if you want to start working in Hollywood, a crew must have at least 30% of ethnic minorities and ethnic minority employees.
And this time, Li Youzhi, who came to make trouble, was even more straightforward and directly put forward a request to the union - non-ethnic minority and ethnic minority employees are not required!
Anyway, the core of the "Parasite" crew is still the "pseudo-LGBT" group of Heguang Culture partners. These guys are just perverted enough, but at least their values are not a problem and they don't delay their work.
With such a staffing configuration, there are now more than 120 people in the "Parasite" crew. In addition to the 64 Heguang Culture partners, the remaining half are local LGBT and ethnic minority personnel in Hollywood!
Wang Hui and Liu Meng have complained about this.
After all, many of these bastards are not real minorities. They are just here to mess around with the name of minorities and ethnic minorities, and they are paid high salaries to do nothing every day.
But now, looking at a group of LGBT people who were completely provoked by him and started to call people to go to the American Academy of Art to make trouble, Li Youzhi felt that the money was worth it!
While the LGBT employees of the "Parasite" crew were brewing a rainbow storm,
In the meeting room of the Oscar Preparatory Committee of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The few golden hairs on Lindemann's head were already standing up in anger!
Throwing the phone on the table with a gloomy face, Lindemann cast his eyes on the other people in the meeting room. His eyes passed over the faces of Greens, Orlean and others in turn, and finally spread his palms.
"Gentlemen, you have heard the call just now. I think the attitude of this son of a bitch has been very clear. This damn guy... came to Hollywood this time, not even just for filming. Looking at this guy's What he did, I think, was to use the Oscars for personal hype. His purpose... was to increase the popularity of the upcoming awards ceremony and gain exposure for him around the world. For such a person, for such a person! I think we should respond as quickly as possible, and we must not let this person be so arrogant anymore!”
Boom!
The dull conference room seemed even more dull and muddy with the dull sound of Lindemann hammering the solid wood table.
But even in such dull and turbid air, several passionate echoes sounded at the same time;
"I completely agree with Linde's opinion! I have a hunch that if this guy is allowed to continue making trouble like this, this Oscar will become a shame for all previous Oscars!"
As soon as Lindemann finished speaking, Orion stood up from his chair.
With a fat face that was red from holding back, he waved his fingers fiercely, and his emotions were so intense that his spittle splashed across the long table.
"I now have serious suspicions that TKTK has reached some kind of agreement with this guy from the beginning. From the beginning, TKTK has planned to give up the pursuit of the live broadcast rights of this Oscar Awards. The offer they gave before, It is most likely even reported to confuse the organizing committee. Their purpose is to use the popularity of Oscar among movie fans around the world to build momentum for their Rotten Tomatoes Awards. Gentlemen, all of us are affected. These Chinese took advantage of it shamelessly!”
"You're right!" "I think that's it!"
At the end of the long conference table, Greens secretly shook his head as he watched O'Lion frantically blaming O'Lion for making a mistake in his own judgment by using the topic as a crazy excuse, which led to the failure of the TKTK cooperation.
He already knew the virtues of his colleagues.
But at this moment, there is no point in worrying about this. Regardless of the reason, TKTK has withdrawn from the competition for live broadcast authorization of the Oscar Awards ceremony, and instead cooperated with Heguang Audiovisual to establish a new venture, intending to build the brand of Rotten Tomatoes Awards.
Both TKTK and Heguang Audiovisual have now rejected the Oscar organizing committee’s attempts to redeem themselves.
Things... have developed in an unpredictable direction. All I can do now is to follow the will of the organizing committee and minimize the losses of this Oscar.
"Gentlemen, what you are saying is just to vent your emotions. I know you are all feeling angry now, and maybe a little annoyed. But the top priority now is to find the Rotten Tomatoes Award. This has begun to gain popularity. The awards are nipped in the bud. You all know very well that if TKTK and Heguang Audio-Visual really get involved in the Rotten Tomatoes award, what kind of impact will it have on the Oscars and even the American film industry.
Gentlemen, the art of cinema has never been the art of the audience. We need to maintain this voice and the right to set standards for this industry, which is the foundation of the existence of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. So now, gentlemen, let us calm down and study how to solve the current trouble.
What Lind said just now, including Li Youzhi on the list of undesirable filmmakers for the Oscars and banning his works from being screened in the United States, is outrageous, but it is indeed a good countermeasure. But gentlemen, at least superficially we need a rationale. And the Rotten Tomatoes award, I think is the thing that really needs to be eliminated. But the trouble is, what method can we use to ban this kind of film selection in the form of online interaction? "
Faced with the question raised by Greens, the conference room fell silent.
It is true that everyone knows that Li Youzhi and Rotten Tomatoes need to be resolved, but there is always a reasonable reason... You cannot say that you have violated the interests of the Oscars, and just ban this artist and the award.
In the dull conference room, Lindemann was the first to break the silence.
"Li Youzhi can easily solve this problem. I think we can ask some of our political friends to help. This guy's "Buried Alive" is fundamentally a work that satirizes the American physique. And this guy is a Chinese director. , we can definitely use this to make some articles, deport this person, and completely prohibit the circulation of his works in the US market. This makes sense from all aspects."
"Good idea, I agree. As for Rotten Tomatoes, we may be able to wait for some days. This award has just been held. I noticed that on the movie selection list on the TKTK platform, the evaluation pages of most works have just been uploaded, and the overall evaluation is still there. Not a lot. In the future, for some low-rated movies, we can instruct the creators of those movies to protest and appeal, and the Hollywood Film Critics Association will intervene in the name of infringing or manipulating public opinion and damaging the reputation of the work.
At that time, we will list some evidence that TKTK artificially manipulates netizen comments... Believe me, if you want to find this type of evidence, it is not difficult to find it. Even if it is not available, we can easily create it. At that time, we will invest some more money to build momentum. The Rotten Tomatoes Awards have just been held, and there is no fan loyalty to speak of. Once the accumulated credibility is destroyed, this emerging film award will be finished. "
"Excellent idea!"
After hearing Lindemann's specific plan, Orion clapped his hands hard and raised his fingers.
"Then gentlemen, let us follow this direction and execute it!"
Raising his fingers and waving them hard, Orion plotted for this and made the final plan...
…
In the face of crisis, the efficiency of the preparatory committee was enhanced to an epic level.
After the meeting, O'Lean returned to the office and dialed the numbers of several politicians he knew well.
The connection between Hollywood and politicians has always been very close. Several politicians also agreed to O'Lean's request.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts controls the promotion channels for Hollywood's biggest stars and has the support of the academy. In a sense, it controls a considerable number of Hollywood stars. For politicians who need support, this is definitely an irresistible tool.
After a lot of work and having everything arranged, Orion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the office, seeing that the time had reached around four o'clock in the afternoon, Orion lifted his fat body from the sofa.
Just as he lit a cigar and was about to relax and enjoy the quiet time of the day, he went off work to pick up the actress he had just met for dinner, and then later in the evening, when he went further, his office room The door was knocked from outside.
Hearing the rapid knock on the door, the cigar Orion just raised stopped in mid-air.
"Damn, what happened?"
Annoyed that the quiet time was broken, Orion stood up and opened the door to the office. He frowned when he saw the secretary standing at the door with a somewhat flustered expression.
"Oh, Mr. O'Lion... No, it's the labor union..."
Listening to the secretary's voice, which was stuttering due to excessive nervousness, Orion felt that he was getting angry for no reason!
“What happened to the union?”
"The four unions of Hollywood actors, makeup artists, photographers and stage managers have just jointly issued a notice asking the Academy why it unreasonably interferes with the normal filming of Hollywood crews, ignores union laws, infringes on the interests of employees... and deprives the LGBT community of and minority jobs!”
"ah?"
Facing the secretary's report, Orion was completely stunned.
Unnecessarily interfering with the normal filming of Hollywood crews, ignoring union laws, infringing on the interests of employees... depriving LGBT groups and ethnic minorities of jobs...
WTF?
Why did he suddenly get labeled with so many big names when he clearly didn't do anything?
Especially the deprivation of jobs for the LGBT community and ethnic minorities... Just hearing these two terms gave Orion a headache!
What's the hardest thing to do in Hollywood right now?
It’s LGBT and ethnic minorities!
In the past two years, these two groups have been simply untouchable or even unavoidable. Mentioning these two groups, I am afraid that every management of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts will have a headache.
Why do you say that?
Because the existence of these two groups has seriously hindered the development and even normal operation of the Hollywood film industry!
If nothing else, it’s the Oscar selection. In recent years, as the voice of LGBT and ethnic minorities has become more and more popular, these two groups have even seriously affected the selection results of the Olympic Awards.
The Academy had planned to create a separate Critics' Choice Awards and LGBTQ+ film and TV festival in an effort to break away from two groups that had been spoiled by a bunch of politicians.
The Academy has a very good plan. It wants to use these two awards and ceremonies to commend the achievements of LGBTQ+ and ethnic minority groups in the entertainment industry, and to give play to normal actors and employees in Hollywood, as well as minorities and ethnic minorities. After the Critics' Choice Awards are announced to these two groups of people, the Academy Awards can be more easily selected in accordance with the Academy's standards.
But imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel...
As soon as this decision was announced, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was directly surrounded by minority groups!
why?
Because LGBTQ+ people feel that putting minority surnames and ethnic minorities in the same category is actually denying them the opportunity to enter the mainstream evaluation system. Similar to the Latin Grammy Awards, which had previously withdrawn from the Grammy Awards, it was actually the same suppression of Latin music. On the surface, it provides more awards to LGBTQ+, but in fact, it makes the minority groups further away from Olympic awards.
Because of this incident, some minority groups even sued the college to court, accusing the college of harming the fair competition rights of the LGBTQ+ community and causing invisible discrimination.
Just for this matter, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts compensated the Hollywood LGBTQ+ community more than $7 million, and had to pinch its nose to cancel the already prepared Critics' Choice Awards, LGBTQ+ Film and TV Festival,
Back and forth, more than 10 million US dollars wasted...
The whole thing is untouchable!
Now, after hearing the secretary's report, Orion felt the veins on his forehead twitching.
"What on earth is going on!? As far as I know, the academy has not interfered with the normal filming of any crew, nor has it infringed upon the interests of any minority group! Which crew is the union talking about? This is simply nonsense! "
"Yes, it's the crew of "Parasite". I just confirmed that this crew is produced by a Chinese team, and the director's name is Mr. Li Youzhi!"
"What?!"
When he heard the name Li Youzhi, O'Lion's whole body... went numb!
"not good!"
With a sudden slap on his thigh, Orion didn't have time to explain too much to his secretary. He turned back to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed a call he made two hours ago.
The owner of the phone number is the deputy secretary of the California Department of Justice...
The call was not connected right away. After several missed calls due to busy conditions, it was not until the fifth time Orion called that the call was finally picked up lazily.
"Bill, you finally answered the phone!"
Hearing O'Lion's urgent voice, the person on the other end of the phone seemed a little impatient.
"O'Lion, what happened to make you so panicked?"
"Bill, have you done what I told you about deporting that Chinese guy from the country?"
"Well, it turns out that this is the matter. My dear friend Orion, I have not neglected your request at all. In fact, after you told me this afternoon, I have already made arrangements. Well, if you don't come out at this time, If something unexpected happens, people from the Los Angeles Justice Department should have arrived in Hollywood, so don't worry... The Chinaman you mentioned, along with his crew that troubled you, should no longer exist. In fact, my dear friend, I am. I have done more than what you asked for. I noticed that this Chinaman came to the United States with his team in the name of cultural exchange and creation. I have instructed the Los Angeles Department of Justice to order his entire team to be forcibly deported. That’s the order. Don’t worry, brother, don’t worry when I do the work...there won’t be any accidents.”
"..."
This is the phone.
After hearing the bossy and confident reply from Bill Southco, the No. 3 figure in the California Department of Justice, Orion felt that his future... was gloomy.
I'm going to move forward with you!
Son of a bitch, I've never seen you with such high efficiency. Why did you do it this time? Why did you move so damn fast? !
"FK! FK!!!"
Holding the phone, Orion's face was full of despair.
His suddenly narrowed eyes were fixed on the setting sun outside the window.
The roulette-sized sunset had already sunk above the horizon.
The clouds on the horizon of Los Angeles were reflected in Orion's blue eyes filled with fear.
The orange-red color of Huoshaoyun echoed with Orion's blue pupils. The two dyed together to form a gorgeous... full calf purple,
…
The set where the "Parasite" crew was located was already in a state of excitement!
After being completely incited by Li Youzhi, the desire to fight among LGBT and ethnic minority staff who usually rely on their work to win has been completely ignited.
Especially when the Los Angeles Justice Department truck drove to the set and issued an expulsion order against Li Youzhi and the creative team, this emotion reached its peak!
What are the tempers of LGBT people?
After the past two years of over-treatment of minority groups in Hollywood, let alone the judiciary, even if the National Guard comes, these are the people who dare to take off their pants and act violently!
Believing that their own interests had been harmed, and also reluctant to part with the excessive treatment given by the "Parasite" crew, more than 60 LGBT and minority employees directly confronted the judicial officers around the set.
Regarding these weird ethnic minorities, let alone Hollywood...
The judiciary does not dare to act rashly. These days... transsexual male athletes can participate in women's sports leagues and win championships. Transgender people who come out of the Ministry of Health can become four-star generals. It's so awesome. This is a group that the president has to greet with a smile when he sees it. If he makes a move and causes something he shouldn't cause, the Justice Bureau will probably be surrounded tomorrow!
"Brother Zhi,"
On the set.
Wang Hui and Liu Meng grinned when they saw the six law enforcement officers helpless in the face of more than 60 LGBT crew members. They could only take out their phones to ask for instructions and did not dare to set foot on the crew.
"Brother Zhi, what's going on? You just broke up with the Oscar jury, and now the state police are here. Can we still continue filming this movie?"
"Hey~ Brother Zhi, how about we respond to the embassy? If something really happens, our equipment and venue rental deposit will not be recovered in time. It's more than two million US dollars. If we can't stop it, Then our losses will be huge."
"Ahem, Brother Zhi, if this situation doesn't work now, why don't you say hello to Xu Haonian? He can see if he can find a relationship and help us get through it? Damn it, this is the first time I've faced a foreign police. It's said There is always an American-style house here, and I feel a little panicked..."
Beep!
Received 4129 amazing points from Liu Meng, Wang Hui and others who added [Panic]!
Sitting firmly on a folding chair in the inner area of the set, watching with cold eyes a group of state police officers confronting the LGBT employees, and listening to the trembling voices of several friends around him, Li Youzhi snorted and smiled.
Looking for help from Xu Haonian?
He can really unblock shit!
If TKTK had this energy, how could they let the US government get into this situation?
TKTK themselves are mud bodhisattvas and cannot protect themselves when crossing the river. How can they still count on them?
As for the embassy…
It's a solution, but now it's obviously useless to tell the embassy about my own affairs. Besides, the embassy is usually busy with business, and with his own affairs... Li Youzhi thought it would be better not to add more workload to the organization.
And... it seems that these state police and judicial officers are also very afraid of the BUFF group LGBT, version T0 answer...!
Look, the big man wearing a thong has spit on the state police's leather shoes. Didn't he endure it and didn't dare to move?
As long as these versions of the answers can hold up, the American style of iai...doesn't exist at all!
"No, I don't think it's a big problem. Mengzi, please tell these LGBTQ+ people later that their wages will be doubled starting from today. You don't have to do anything, just come here and protect the crew from outside interference. What is happening now is spread through social media such as TKTK. Tell the brothers of Heguang Culture what to do and don’t panic. I will ask Xu Haonian to send me a team of lawyers to follow the whole process. Don’t worry... there are lawyers. With the team here, no matter what law enforcement agency they are, they won't dare to touch our friends. As long as those bastards can't get in the way, our crew will be able to work quickly, starting today! We will live in the crew from the beginning and try to finish the film as soon as possible!”
With a snap, Li Youzhi slapped his thigh hard.
It was originally planned to promote "Parasite" after filming was completed.
Look at this posture, the publicity activities are ready to begin!
bring it on.
Let the storm come as it pleases. The bigger the storm, the better it will be for Brother Zhi.
Damn it, Brother Zhi, you really want to see this time, in this three-thirds of an acre of land in the United States, is the strongest version of LGBTQ+ BUFF better, or American Iai is more awesome!
