Chapter 577 Bad News Good News (Part [-])

"First Blood" was forced to drop to the fifth position in the North American box office due to negative public opinion in the society. At this time, "Raging Bull", which was filmed by United Artists two years ago, became a new favorite.

"Raging Bull" has similar plots to "Rocky" in some respects, such as the story of a boxer, but "Bull" cannot be compared with "Rocky". Rocky is a classic image seven years ago. And being made a hero in the hearts of Americans by Stallone, just like the Rambo they see now, has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Bull" is adapted from the true story of world middleweight boxing champion Jack LaMotta. It does not take the inspirational route, but exposes the dirty inside story behind the boxing ring. The starring role of Robert De Niro is better than that of Stallone. a lot of.

The filming of this movie was completed long ago in 1979, but considering the strong influence of "Rocky", United Artists has not shown it to the public. Now the image of "First Blood" has been discredited, so United Artists took I came out to join in the fun, but I didn't expect the box office to be quite good within a week of its release, with as much as 300 million.

Therefore, United Artists immediately paid attention to the public relations work of "Bull", and "Bull" has entered the second tier of Oscar competition, and this news greatly boosted the box office of "Bull".

"Bull, go up and kill that Italian stallion!" United Artists chanted slogans like this every day. The tragic lessons of "Heaven's Gate" years ago have made United Artists worse. Now all their hopes are gone. Relying on "Bull", they don't ask for anything else, as long as they can reach half of the current box office results of "First Blood", that also means that United Artists can continue to persist!

All the Hollywood tycoons representing "First Blood" couldn't sit still, and called Wang Xiaohu who was far away in Hong Kong every now and then. For example, the representative of Paramount directly proposed to terminate the earlier agency contract.

"OK! As you wish!" Wang Xiaohu said goodbye to Paramount cleanly and happily, and the crispness and agility made people wonder.

Winterdur called Wang Xiaohu on the morning of March 3th. It was night in Hong Kong at this time, and Wang Xiaohu did not sleep but was rushing to produce a new script.

"Old Wen, what time is it on your side?" Wang Xiaohu ignored Winterdur's anxious mood, but asked what time it was.

"Around 11 o'clock in the morning." Winterdur said: "Boss, you shouldn't say goodbye to Paramount. You should know that their "Ordinary People" this year is very likely to be the best picture at the Oscars."

"So what? Old Wen, they won't help us in the slightest by winning the Oscar! I don't want you to ask such stupid questions in the future! Everything will change in a few hours!"

"Yes, the Oscars will start in a few hours!" Winterdur said dejectedly.

"Don't forget that your boss has another identity. I know Eastern Immortal Art and can predict the future."

"Damn Eastern Immortal Art, well, boss, I feel a little tired recently, and I need to take a good rest for a few days." Winterdur muttered.

The old guy Winterdur is like this. As long as the company develops well, he will be full of confidence. Once he encounters problems that cannot be overcome, he will be a "deserter". Wang Xiaohu did not blame Old Wen for this. The cooperation made him understand Lao Wen very well. If the situation is reversed, Lao Wen will be like a workaholic with clockwork.

Looking at the glass outside the window, Wang Xiaohu raised his hand like a pistol, said "Papa~~" six times in his mouth, and then buried himself in writing the script contentedly.

1981年3月30日，美国时间下午2点25分，刚刚担任美国总统70天的罗纳德.威尔逊.里根前往华盛顿的希尔顿饭店。他是应美国劳联-产联建筑工会的邀请，前去对数千名工会代表发表讲话的。

After the speech, Reagan walked out of the hotel.He smiled and waved frequently to the crowd across the road.An Associated Press reporter stopped him to ask questions, and White House Press Secretary Brady came over to help the president answer the reporter's questions.

At this moment, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"What the hell is that sound?" Reagan asked the personal guard Jerry Parr.

No one answered President Reagan's words, and he was greeted by three more hasty gunshots.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A blond young man mixed in with the crowd, squatted down and pulled out a revolver, and shot 6 explosive bullets at President Reagan.

After the shots rang out, White House Secret Service agents rushed towards the killer, blocking the president with their own bodies and missing the last few shots.Injured Reagan was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

There was chaos in front of the Hilton Hotel, and the president's press secretary, James Brady, fell in a pool of his own blood.His assistant, David Prosperi, ran back to the Hilton hotel to find a phone, called deputy press secretary Larry Spikes, and said, gasping, "We've been shot. Brady was shot and down." I don't know how the president is doing now."

"God, we had a terrorist attack, another secret agent and a DC police officer were shot, we need protection!"

The sound of police cars, shouts, and chaotic scenes filled the sky over the United States with dark clouds.

"U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who just took office, was attacked by unknown gunmen and died tragically."

"At present, the police have controlled the attacker, and the motive for assassinating the president is unknown!"

"At 2 p.m. US time, President Reagan was outside the Hilton Hotel"

The time of President Reagan's assassination quickly spread in the United States in just half an hour, and the 53rd Oscar Awards Ceremony, which had been prepared for a long time, had to stop because of this!

Meanwhile, in the White House, Deputy Press Secretary Spix ran into Jim Baker's office.The chief of staff immediately notified cabinet officials to the Situation Research Office, and then took several internal affairs officials to the hospital.When he left, he happened to miss Secretary of State Al Hager.

Baker and his staff rushed to the hospital to ask a few questions before briefing the White House: "The situation is very bad. They don't know if he will survive..."

On the other end of the phone, in the Situation Room, Spikes continued to record: "...doctors think he's bleeding to death. I think we're watching him die. Blood pressure drops rapidly."

"Has the Vice President been notified?" Hagrid asked.

At this time, Bush was in the sky, and Air Force 2 had just taken off from Dallas, and Hagrid connected the phone on the plane.

"This is Secretary of State Hagrid, Mr. Vice President..." The voice quality of the ground-to-air phone was not good, and he could not hear Bush's voice clearly in the noise, and finally had to shout: "George! This is Al Hay. Greg, you have to fly back to Washington immediately"

At 15:10, the White House Press Office issued a short statement.The content is completely contrary to previous reports, saying that although the president was shot and injured, he is currently in a stable condition.

Hager ordered the State Department to send a telegram to all U.S. embassies around the world: "Urgently, please release the following information immediately. The government in Washington will, as always, fulfill its corresponding obligations to her people and allies."

The news of the assassination of the President of the United States quickly affected several countries during the Cold War, especially the Soviet Union. Many people speculated that this was a conspiracy by the Soviets and immediately asked Oscar to revoke the Soviet film "Moscow Is Not" nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award. Believe in Tears".

But this is not in line with the practice of nomination competition for five Oscars. After tense discussions by the Oscar Organizing Committee, someone suggested why "Myth" should not be sent up. name judges.

This move immediately received strong opposition from the Warner Consortium!

At around 7:[-] p.m., President Reagan regained consciousness, but he had no idea that during his coma for a few hours, he almost triggered a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"What makes you think I'm happy to hear that? I hate war!"

At 1981:3 a.m. on March 31, 6, when it was still dark, Reagan propped himself up from the bed with the help of a nurse, and when he held a press conference, his hands trembled so much that he wrote such a "note."

The news that President Reagan's life was not in danger spread quickly through Washington University Hospital, and all American citizens thanked God together after hearing the news!
If it is really confirmed that the president was assassinated by the Soviets, it will inevitably lead to war again, and the Americans have not yet come out of the huge shadow caused by the Vietnam War, so they naturally hate war.

Someone said indignantly: "Are the bodyguards around the president all idiots? He should need the protection of soldiers like Rambo!"

"Yes, Rambo should be needed! Rambo is an American hero!"

"The President says he hates war and Rambo is a victim of war!"

"We should support Rambo like we support the President!"

"They are all advocates of peace!"

As a result, such remarks quickly spread among American citizens. All kinds of remarks that smeared "First Blood" were self-defeating, and citizens went into the theater to watch their favorite superhero Rambo!
"Boss, I believe in your oriental fairy art a little bit now. I want to tell you two pieces of news. One is good and the other is bad. Which one do you want to hear?"

Winterdur, who claimed to be on vacation, didn't have a long rest, and he called Wang Xiaohu very quickly.

"Bad news." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, "The Oscars are going on right now, aren't they?"

"Yes, the bad news is this. Although the Soviet Union's "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" lost its qualification for the Oscars, and Fox also proposed to use "Myth" as a substitute, it was still destroyed by Warner's tricks."

"I don't want such a cheap meal!" Wang Xiaohu resolutely said: "This is indeed a terribly bad news!"
