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 into the crew...
Although he had never made a serious movie in Hollywood, Li Youzhi had heard about the situation there.
As the forefront of American public opinion and the most exposed cultural circle, the LGBT trend has already swept the entire Hollywood...
The reason for this situation is actually Hollywood's own fault. 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.
All of this stems from a previous election in which a clever politician roped in a group of Hollywood celebrities to create a big news story, boldly supporting same-sex marriage and earning enough money for his campaign team.
It was this wave of dramatic operations that determined the final victory of this clever little guy. There is no doubt that this was indeed a good move in the political arena.
It is precisely because of this wave of operations that the Western elites suddenly realized that carrying out political operations under the banner of caring for minority groups 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 pretext to gain fame and fortune, as long as you use this trick the effect will be like a whirlwind charge or a tornado, it's the best!
With the trump card in hand, why not play it?
As a result, the political correctness of LGBT has been blowing. Because this trend was initially started by some Hollywood stars, Hollywood has become the forefront of the LGBT trend.
In fact, at the beginning, LGBT in Hollywood was considered relatively normal, except that some celebrities who had not previously announced their coming out did so officially.
However, due to the politicians' catering, for example, the government appointed a transgender person as a "four-star general", even if this person has never served in the army, he can easily get the position because of his special identity. The LGBT movement in Hollywood has gradually changed.
People’s original intention of calling for freedom and longing for progress is good. At certain 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 exaggerates individual issues to cover up the main contradictions; exaggerates extreme remarks to drown out rational voices; and even deliberately creates some extremely unreasonable issues to divert public attention and prevent people from focusing their firepower on the core interests of the elites...
From facing their own psychological gender openly at the beginning, to some opportunistic groups starting to use this politically correct identity to seek preferential treatment. In the end, Hollywood practitioners discovered a very scary fact: if you are not in the LGBT community, you have no chance at all, and all the benefits are taken away by others!
From then on, the LGBT trend among Hollywood practitioners and the acting industry could no longer be contained.
This posture is a bit like what?
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 person has jade syndrome...
As it has developed to this point, the normal gender group has actually become a minority in Hollywood, and the LGBT group has become the opinion controller in various Hollywood unions.
Precisely because he was familiar with the current version in Hollywood, 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 employees from minority groups and ethnic minorities.
This time, Li Youzhi, who came to stir up trouble, was even more straightforward. He made a request directly to the union - non-minority and ethnic minority employees are not allowed to do so!
Anyway, the core of the "Parasite" crew is still a group of "pseudo-LGBT" friends from Wako Culture. These guys are just perverted enough, but at least their values are not a problem and it doesn't affect their work.
With such staffing, there are now more than 120 people in the "Parasite" crew. In addition to 64 partners from Wako Culture, the remaining half are local LGBT and minority personnel in Hollywood!
Wang Hui and Liu Meng have complained a lot about this.
After all, many of these bastards are not real minority groups at all. They just come here to get involved in the name of minority and ethnic minority, and they take high salaries to slack off every day.
But now, looking at a group of LGBT people who were completely provoked by him and started to mobilize people to go to the American Academy of Art to cause trouble, Li Youzhi felt that the money... was worth it!
While the LGBT staff of the "Parasite" crew were brewing a rainbow storm,
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, inside the Oscar organizing committee meeting room.
The few tufts of golden hair on Lindmann's head were standing up in anger!
Throwing the phone on the table with a gloomy face, Lindman cast his eyes on the other people in the conference room. His eyes passed over the faces of Greens, Orlean and others in turn, and finally spread out his palm.
"Gentlemen, you have heard the conversation just now. I think the attitude of this son of a bitch is very clear. This damn guy... didn't even come to Hollywood just to make a movie this time. Looking at what he did, I think he just wants to use the Oscars to hype himself up. His purpose... is to take advantage of the popularity of the upcoming awards ceremony and gain exposure for himself worldwide! For such a person and such behavior, I think we should respond as quickly as possible and we must not let this person be so arrogant anymore!"
Boom!
The dull meeting room became even duller and more turbid with the muffled sound of Lindmann hammering hard on the solid wooden table.
But even in such a dull and turbid air, several passionate echoes also sounded at the same time;
"I completely agree with Lind's opinion! I have a feeling that if we continue to indulge this guy, this year's Oscars will become a shame for all the Oscars!"
As soon as Lindemann finished speaking, Orlean stood up from his chair.
With a fat face that was flushed red from holding back anger, he waved his fingers fiercely, and was so excited that his saliva splashed across the long table.
"I now seriously suspect that TKTK has reached some kind of agreement with this guy from the very beginning. From the very beginning, TKTK has already planned to give up the pursuit of the live broadcast rights of this year's Oscars. The offer they made before was even very likely made to confuse the organizing committee. Their purpose is to use the Oscars' popularity among global movie fans to promote their Rotten Tomatoes Award. Gentlemen, all of us have been shamelessly used by these Chinese!"
"That's right!" "I think that's it!"
At the end of the long conference table, Greens shook his head secretly as he watched Orian, who was taking advantage of the situation to madly shift the blame for his own misjudgment that led to the failure of the TKTK cooperation.
He already knew the character of his colleagues.
But at this moment, it is meaningless to worry about these. Whatever the reason, TKTK has withdrawn from the competition for the live broadcast authorization of the Oscars, and instead cooperated with Wako Audiovisual to set up a new business, intending to build the Rotten Tomatoes Award brand.
Both TKTK and Wako Audiovisual have now rejected the Oscar Organizing Committee's attempts to redeem the film.
Things... have been developing in an unpredictable direction. All I can do now is to follow the will of the organizing committee and minimize the losses of this year's Oscars.
"Gentlemen, what you said is just an emotional outburst. I know you all feel angry, and perhaps a little annoyed. But the most urgent task now is to find a way to nip the Rotten Tomatoes Award, which has already begun to gain popularity, in the bud. You all know very well that if TKTK and Wako Audiovisual really succeed in winning the Rotten Tomatoes Award, what kind of impact it will have on the Oscars, and even on the American film industry.
Gentlemen, the art of film has never been the art of the audience. We need to maintain such a voice and the right to set standards for this industry, which is also 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 in the Oscars' list of unwelcome filmmakers and banning his films from being screened in the United States, is a good countermeasure. But gentlemen, at least on the surface, we need a reasonable reason. And the Rotten Tomatoes award, I think it is something that really needs to be eliminated. But the trouble is, how can we 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 must be a reasonable reason... You can't just say that you have infringed on the interests of the Oscars and ban this artist and award.
In the dull meeting room, it was Lindman who first broke the silence.
"The issue of Li Youzhi is easy to resolve. I think we can ask some of our politician friends for help. This guy's Buried is, in a fundamental sense, a work that satirizes the American constitution. And this guy is a Chinese director. We can use this to do something, expel this person from the country, and completely ban the circulation of his works in the American market. This makes sense from any perspective."
"Good idea, I agree. As for the Rotten Tomatoes, maybe we can wait for a few days. This award has just been held, and I noticed that on the film selection list of the TKTK platform, the evaluation pages of most works have just been uploaded, and there are not many overall evaluations. In a few days, for some low-rated movies, we can instruct the creators of those movies to protest and appeal, and let the Hollywood Film Critics Association intervene in the name of infringing or manipulating public opinion and damaging the reputation of the works.
We will then list some evidence of TKTK manipulating netizens’ comments… Believe me, if we want to find it, it is not difficult to find such evidence. Even if there is none, we can easily create it. At that time, we will invest some 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.”
“What a great idea!”
Upon hearing Lindemann's specific plan, Orlean clapped his hands vigorously and raised his finger high.
"Then gentlemen, let us follow this direction and carry it out!"
With his fingers raised high, Orion swung them down vigorously, and came up with the final plan for this conspiracy...
……
In the face of the crisis, the efficiency of the Preparatory Committee was epically enhanced.
After the meeting, Orlean returned to his office and called several politicians he knew.
The connection between Hollywood and politicians has always been quite close. Several politicians readily agreed to Orlean's request.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences controls the promotion channels for Hollywood stars. To have the support of the academy, in a sense, it controls a considerable number of Hollywood stars. This is definitely an irresistible tool for politicians who need support.
After a busy period of time and arranging everything, Orian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the office, seeing that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, Orlean lifted his fat body from the sofa.
Just as he lit a cigar, ready to relax and enjoy the rare quiet time of the day, and then go off work to pick up the actress he had just met for dinner, and then go further later, there was a knock on his office door from outside.
Hearing the rapid knock on the door, the cigar that Orian had just raised stopped in mid-air.
"What the hell?"
Feeling annoyed that his quiet time was broken, Orlean stood up and opened the door of the office. Seeing the secretary standing at the door with a panicked look on his face, he frowned.
"Oh, Mr. Orline... Oops, it's the union..."
Listening to the secretary's stuttering voice due to excessive nervousness, Orian felt furious!
“What happened to the union?”
"The four unions of Hollywood actors, makeup artists, photographers and production managers have just sent a joint letter to us, questioning why the Academy is interfering with the normal filming of Hollywood crews, ignoring union laws, infringing on the interests of employees... and depriving LGBT groups and minorities of their jobs!"
"what?"
Faced with the secretary's report, Orlean was completely stunned. Unreasonably interfering with the normal filming of Hollywood crews, ignoring union laws, infringing on the interests of employees... depriving LGBT groups and minorities of their jobs...
WTF?
I didn't do anything, so why am I suddenly being accused of so many things?
Especially the issue of depriving LGBT groups and ethnic minorities of their jobs... Just hearing these two terms, Orian felt a headache!
What's the most difficult thing to do in Hollywood right now?
It’s LGBT and ethnic minorities!
In the past two years, these two groups have been a force to be reckoned with and even to be avoided. Mentioning these two groups would probably give every management of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences a headache.
Why do you say that?
Because of the existence of these two groups, the development of the Hollywood film industry has been seriously hindered, and even its normal operation!
Let’s not talk about anything else, just the Oscar selection. In recent years, as the LGBT and ethnic minorities have become more and more vocal, these two groups have even seriously affected the selection results of the Oscars.
In order to get rid of these two groups that have been spoiled by a group of politicians, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had planned to create a separate Critics' Choice Awards and LGBTQ+ Film and Television Festival.
The Academy has a good plan. They want to use these two awards and ceremonies to recognize the achievements of LGBTQ+ and minority groups in the entertainment industry, and to give a performance to normal Hollywood actors and practitioners and minorities. After the Critics' Choice Awards are given to these two groups, the Academy can more easily select the Oscars according to the Academy's standards.
But imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel...
As soon as this decision was announced, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was surrounded by minority groups!
why?
Because LGBTQ+ people feel that putting ethnic minorities and minorities in the same category is actually denying them the opportunity to enter the mainstream evaluation system. Similar to the Latin Grammy Awards that the Grammys withdrew from, it is actually the same as suppressing Latin music. On the surface, it provides more awards for LGBTQ+, but in fact it makes ethnic minorities further away from the Oscars.
Because of this incident, some minority groups even sued the college in court, accusing the college of damaging the fair competition rights of the LGBTQ+ community and engaging in hidden discrimination.
Because of this, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences not only paid more than $7 million in compensation to the Hollywood LGBTQ+ community, but also had to hold its nose and cancel the Critics' Choice Awards and the LGBTQ+ Film and Television Awards that had already been prepared.
Back and forth, more than 10 million US dollars went down the drain...
Totally untouchable!
Now, hearing the secretary's report, Orian felt the veins on his forehead throbbing violently.
"What is going on? As far as I know, the Academy has never interfered with the normal filming of any crew, let alone infringed 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 Orian heard the name Li Youzhi, he felt... numb!
"not good!"
With a sudden slap on his thigh, Orlean didn't have time to explain too much to his secretary. He turned back to his desk, picked up the phone and dialed the number he had made two hours ago.
The owner of the phone number is the Deputy Attorney General of the California Department of Justice...
The call was not connected immediately. After several times of being busy, it was not until the fifth time that Orian called that the call was finally answered.
"Bill, you finally answered the phone!"
Hearing Orlean's anxious voice, the person on the other end of the phone seemed a little impatient.
"Orion, what happened to make you so flustered?"
"Bill, did you do what I told you to do about expelling that Chinaman from the country?"
"Well, that's what happened. My dear friend, Orian, I have not neglected your request at all. In fact, I have already made arrangements after you told me about it this afternoon. Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Los Angeles Department of Justice should have arrived in Hollywood by now, so don't worry... The Chinaman you mentioned, along with his crew that bothered you, should no longer exist. In fact, my dear friend, I have done much more than you asked. 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 issue an order to forcibly expel his entire team. Don't worry, buddy, you can rely on me to do the job... there won't be any accidents."
"..."
This is the phone.
After hearing the commanding and confident reply from Bill Sosco, the third-ranking official at the California Department of Justice, Orleans felt that his future was... bleak.
Fuck you!
Son of a bitch, I've never seen you so efficient before, why did you have to be so fast this time, just this time?
"FK! FK!!!"
Holding the phone, Orlean's face was full of despair.
He suddenly narrowed his gaze and stared at the sunset outside the window.
The roulette-sized sunset had already sunk above the horizon.
The clouds in the Los Angeles sky were reflected in Orian's fear-filled blue eyes.
The orange-red of the flaming clouds echoed with Orian's azure eyes, and the two blended together to form a gorgeous...perfect purple,
……
The set of "Parasite" was already in a state of excitement!
After being completely incited by Li Youzhi, the fighting desire of those LGBT and minority workers who usually rely on doing things to win has been completely ignited.
Especially when the Los Angeles judicial work car drove to the set and issued an eviction order against Li Youzhi and the main creative team of the crew, this emotion reached its peak!
What are the tempers of LGBT people?
After being infected by the culture of overtreatment of minority groups in Hollywood in the past two years, let alone the judiciary, even if the National Guard comes, they will dare to take off their pants and make a scene!
Believing that their interests had been damaged and reluctant to give up the many extra benefits given by the "Parasite" crew, more than 60 LGBT and minority employees directly confronted the judicial personnel around the set.
For these weird minority groups, let alone Hollywood...
The judiciary also doesn't dare to act rashly. These days... transgender male athletes can participate in women's sports leagues and win championships, and transgender people from the Ministry of Health can become four-star generals. The president has to greet such an awesome group with a smile. If they make any move and cause trouble, the Judiciary will probably be surrounded tomorrow!
"Brother Zhi,"
On the set.
Wang Hui and Liu Meng grinned as they watched the six judicial law enforcement officers helpless in the face of more than sixty LGBT crew members, who could only take out their phones to ask their superiors and did not dare to set foot in the crew at all.
"Brother Zhi, what are we going to do? You just had a falling out with the Oscars committee, and now the state police are here. Can we still continue filming this show?"
"Hiss~Brother Zhi, why don't we report it to the embassy? If something really happens, we won't be able to get back our equipment and site rental deposit 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 out, why don't you give Xu Haonian a heads-up? See if he can use his connections to smooth things over for us? Damn, this is my first time facing foreign police. I heard that they always use American-style Iai. I'm a little panicked..."
Beep!
Received 4129 points of surprise value from Liu Meng, Wang Hui and others with the addition of [panic]!
Sitting firmly on a folding chair in the backstage of the crew, Li Youzhi coldly watched a group of state police and those LGBT employees confront each other, and then listened to the trembling voices of several friends beside him, and snorted and laughed.
Ask Xu Haonian to help?
He can't even clear the shit!
If TKTK had this power, would they have let the U.S. government play them into this situation?
TKTK themselves are in a difficult situation, how can we still count on them?
As for the embassy...
That was a solution, but it was obviously useless to tell the embassy about his current situation. Besides, the embassy was usually busy with official matters, and his own affairs... Li Youzhi thought it was better not to add more workload to the organization.
And... it seems that these state police and judicial personnel seem to be very afraid of the LGBT BUFF benefit group, the T0 answer in this version...!
Look, the big guy wearing his thong outside spit on the state police's leather shoes, but he just endured it and didn't dare to move.
As long as these versions of the answers can hold up, the American-style Iai... absolutely does not exist!
"No, I don't think it's a big problem. Mengzi, tell these LGBTQ+ people that starting today, their salary will be doubled. You don't have to do anything else, just stay here and protect the crew from outside interference, and spread what's happening in the crew through social media such as TKTK. Tell the brothers from Heguang Culture what to do and don't panic. I'll ask Xu Haonian to send a team of lawyers to follow the crew throughout the process, don't worry... With the lawyer team here, no matter what law enforcement agency it is, they won't dare to touch our friends. With these LGBTQ+ people blocking the way, as long as those bastards can't get in, our crew will run normally! Let the brothers do their work faster, from today on, we will live in the crew and try to finish the filming as soon as possible!"
With a snap, Li Youzhi slapped his thigh hard.
I had originally planned to start promoting "Parasite" after it was finished filming.
Look at this situation, the promotion and marketing activities can start now!
come on.
Let the storm come as it pleases. The bigger it gets, the better it will be for Brother Zhi.
Damn it, this time you really want to see, in this small piece of land of America, whether the strongest version of the LGBTQ+ BUFF is more effective, or the American style of Iai is more awesome!
