Riot

"There is a riot of tens of thousands in Los Angeles, New York right now, and to stop the riot from continuing, I, Bush, are now calling in the military to quell this insurrection."

"Contact the military immediately, mobilize 15,000 troops and head to Los Angeles!"

Bush said firmly.

...

Beverly Hills.

Kevin and Julie were wandering around in the villa, when a phone call suddenly came.

It was Dean from New Line Cinema.

"Kevin, the riots in Los Angeles have affected the schedule, and the theater manager told us that since the riots, the movie theater business in other places has also been affected."

"The box office of Escape from the Dead Town is very likely not very good."

"It will be released tomorrow..."

Dean called, exactly as Shay had instructed, to ask Kevin if there was any other way to save it.

The three companies that invested in escaping from the Dead Town have used a lot of propaganda and other resources.

The money invested is actually only the most insignificant part of it.

Kevin just laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Dean."

"This is not a bad thing, the next thing to do is to increase publicity."

"Black people, at this point in time, have received unprecedented attention."

"If you use it well, they can contribute all the box office for us. You can help me contact Mr. Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros."

After all, Kevin hung up the phone and waited quietly.

A moment later, Kevin answered the phone again, and the caller was Jeff Robinoff, the president of Warner Bros.

"Hello, Kevin?"

"Tell me what you think."

On the other end of the phone, Jeff Robinoff's tone was completely gentle, not nervous at all because of the riots in Los Angeles.

"The riot is impossible to stop, the black people are crazy at this time."

"I estimate that the White House may have dispatched the military at this time."

"Director Kevin, you really are well-informed."

"Yes, just today, an order has been issued in the White House to mobilize an army of 15,000 people, and even use a powerful weapon close to a medium-sized one."

Jeff Robinoff's tone revealed something Kevin couldn't have known so quickly.

He thought Kevin would be surprised, but he didn't expect Kevin to be much calmer than he thought.

"If that's the case, the movie will be released normally, right?"

"At the same time, with an emphasis on propaganda, this is a film that fights discrimination and affirms rights."

Kevin just understates it.

"I'm sure black people would love to see a film like this that shows how they are discriminated against by white people."

Jeff Robinoff and Kevin both know that money is everything in their eyes.

It doesn't matter what equal rights are not equal, what matters is how much benefit they can get with the name of equal rights.

Really engage in the idea of ​​equality, Kevin does not.

But in the name of equal rights, he still has the idea of ​​making a fortune.

Jeff Robinoff thinks the same.

Aside from the equal rights and anti-discrimination metaphors of Escape, this is a great work in itself, a great work in a commercial thriller.

With this situation...

"Kevin, are you in the mood to work hard towards the Oscars?"

"The old men at the Oscars will definitely not give you the best director, but you can still win the best picture or the best screenplay award."

"Wait for the box office..."

Kevin just left vague words.

Then the two hung up the phone.

....

A day later, a very exaggerated scene appeared in Los Angeles.

Fifteen thousand heavily armed soldiers suppressed all rebellions, and all who dared to hang out at this time were considered rioters.

If you do not resist arrest on the spot, if you resist, you will directly use guns to deter.

In the end, the army still had a little consideration. At the beginning, they used training bullets, which could hurt people, but would not cause too serious damage.

This did not turn the repression of the riots into a massacre.

..

"Kevin!"

"It's safe today."

Angelina Jolie's mouth revealed what made Kevin step up

Under American law, once a woman gives birth to a man's child, the man must pay a large amount of child support according to his own income.

Kevin didn't want to take that responsibility at this point.

Angelina Jolie also doesn't want this to happen at this time, and she wants to go further on the road to stardom.

Pregnancy early is obviously not a good choice.

Therefore, both sides are still very careful on non-safety days.

Of course, Safety Day is Kevin's favorite time.

"Crench!"

Salma Hayek, who had the key to Kevin's villa, pushed the door to the room of the two and bumped into all this.

In the context of the army being dispatched to suppress the riots, the crew that was filming nearby decisively stopped filming.

And Salma Hayek also decisively drove directly towards Kevin's villa.

"Forehead!"

The arrival of Salma Hayek made Kevin very happy, and shivered directly on Julie's body.

Julie pushed Kevin away weakly and lay aside.

Looking at Julie lying on the side, Kevin decisively hooked Salma Hayek.

Salma Hayek, who watched such a big play, couldn't hold herself back, she threw off her clothes to reveal her graceful figure, and took the initiative to come to Kevin's side.

Compared with Julie, Salma Hayek brings a different charm to Kevin as a mature woman.

.....

The next day, Kevin turned on the TV directly.

After a day of suppression, the riots in Los Angeles were basically calmed down.

CNN TV reporters roam the streets, bringing the latest news to everyone, and it's not just CNN's own doing.

It is also a requirement of the White House and state governments.

The purpose is to let people know that the riots in Los Angeles have ended, so as to quickly restore normal order in Los Angeles.

Kevin, who saw that everything was over, was not idle either.

Through discussions with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., the decision was made to watch Escape Games for free for three days at all Warner Cinemas in Los Angeles.

Warner Bros., which owns three big movie theaters in Los Angeles, has about a quarter of the big screen set up for Get Out.

For three days, it means hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in losses.

However, in order to escape the word-of-mouth fermentation of Breaking Town, in order to attract more black people to the theater at the fastest speed, Warner agreed to the request of this publicity.
