Chapter 236: Demons, sprites and monsters
Michael Jackson's two so-called "child abuse cases" may have been just two greedy families looking for money at first, followed by the slackness of the judiciary, and finally the unscrupulous hype of the media that led to the so-called "injustice of the century" birth.The important thing is that when the judiciary has given the parties a clean slate, the media continued to hype the legal documents without self-respect, selectively ignoring the legal documents for their own economic interests or to please certain interest groups, which eventually led to Michael's mental problems.
Perhaps many people who watch American TV or subscribe to American newspapers think that the United States is a very liberal and democratic country, but in fact the United States is an extremely conservative country.Even in Los Angeles, one of the base camps of liberals, some resident singers in bars would joke about "yellow monkeys get out" when they saw people of yellow race.The real United States is actually a "white supremacy" country, but a group of people in this country are forcing this country to reflect, so the so-called discrimination has not spread to everyone.
However, in everyone's daily life, words and deeds that discriminate against people of color and disadvantaged groups will still be manifested consciously or unconsciously.Before the appearance of "Elvis Presley", black music was not accepted by mainstream American music.Don't you see that there are many types of American music, but in fact, except for rock music and country music, which are considered to be the music of white people, the rest of the popular music types are created and developed by African-Americans or Latino-Americans.Before Elvis Presley played jazz and blues on the stage, Americans could love jazz and blues in private, but dismissed them in public because they were "nigger music".
Of course, the most unbelievable thing for Americans is that after Elvis Presley, the successor of the American music king is actually a black man, and the achievement of this black man has surpassed that of Elvis Presley, and more importantly, he is actually married to Elvis Presley. daughter!Don't think that Americans believe in the "American Dream", the premise is that white people succeed!Or African-Americans or Latinos can succeed, but never more than the United States.In the three major professions of lawyers, doctors and accountants with the highest average income in American society, people of color are an absolute minority, and it is even rarer to become the elite of the three major professions.Therefore, even though the US law has given Michael innocence, many people in the American society hope that Michael is not innocent, so there is follow-up hype in the media.
This time, despite the strong intervention of Jed and others, the media once stood on Michael's side.But some people are willing to speak for Michael, and some are willing to speak for the so-called "victims".Soon, some conservative newspapers appeared to question Michael's case.They believe that the current public opinion has affected the trial of Michael's case, especially Jade's large-scale fundraising campaign is unfair to the plaintiff.
"Mr. Sherman, I have a fax of a newspaper that has arrived at your office. I need you to confirm the authenticity of this matter." When Jed was preparing for the premiere of "Bourne Shadow 2" in his office During the ceremony, Catherine Bonays called angrily. "I will contact you again in 5 minutes. What I need to hear is the truth, the absolute truth."
Jed asked his secretary to bring over the fax, which was a report from the Washington Times.Although the "Washington Times" and the "Washington Post" are only one letter apart, the two newspapers are very different. The "Washington Post" is one of the most credible newspapers in the United States, while the "Washington Times" is a political tabloid published in Washington, D.C., known for reporting various scandals on the fly.Although the "Washington Times" is not a national newspaper, it still has a certain influence in the United States because it is published in Washington, DC.As soon as Jed received the fax, his expression changed drastically. The headline on the front page of The Washington Times reads "Jed Sherman: Hollywood Film and Television Giant?"Or an Asian dictatorship tycoon? ".
The "Washington Times" report has been reported from the first page to the second page, detailing a Gemini home entertainment company privately invested by Jade, which owns "Mercury Tokyo Production Company" in Japan and Southeast Asia. , "Mercury Kansai Production Company" and "Mercury Southeast Asia Production Company" three video tape production companies and brokerage companies.These three companies are currently the largest MSM video production companies in the Asia-Pacific region, and the videos they produce are imported into the United States through Gemini Home Entertainment.
The "Washington Times" wrote in the report, "Because it is difficult for Americans to distinguish the age of Asian groups, and most of the actors selected by Mercury look very young, Gemini Home Entertainment is the favorite of American pedophiles. One of the largest adult video companies in the world. This company makes more than a billion dollars a year in the United States, and these dollars are based on putting your children and my children in danger. Also, it should be emphasized that according to the American Adult Film Association According to the requirements of the United States, all adult video tapes shot in the United States must use condoms, but Gemini uses the strategy of overseas production and local distribution to circumvent this regulation. The spread of this video tape will also have a negative impact on the prevention and treatment of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases in our country. "
Before Jed finished the report, a secretary came in and asked, "Mr. Sherman, reporters from the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Radio News Channel have contacted our public relations department and want to interview you for a report."
"Turn down all the interview requests for me for the time being. If the media inquires about my whereabouts, just say that I am currently undergoing a routine medical examination at the Royal London Medical Center." Jed quickly ordered, "Arrange for me a car that the media does not know belongs to." I or the company's car, I'm leaving the company now. If you need to confirm anything, you can contact Shannette or John."
After finishing speaking, Jed immediately took the president's special elevator to the underground parking lot.Jed's secretary arranged a Toyota car for Jed, because journalists all over the United States knew that Jed was dismissive of Japanese products, so they never thought that one day Jed would ride in a Japanese car.But Jed smiled wryly, not expecting that one day he would have to rely on a Japanese car to escape.
As soon as he got in the car, he immediately started making phone calls. First, he contacted Shannetti, "I didn't expect to trouble you again. Every time I encounter this kind of thing, I will trouble you to come forward. If a reporter asks about the authenticity of the report, you Just put it all on me. The public statement is that Gemini Home Entertainment is Jed Sherman's private investment and has no connection with Sherman Entertainment Group."
After instructing Shannity, I contacted John, "You know, I'm hiding from reporters right now. I can't go to the apartment on Hockey Road for the time being. I guess Sherman Manor in Beverly Hills and Mabry Beach Sherman's vacation home was surrounded by reporters, so I had to run to your Rose Castle in Palm Beach and take refuge."
The last call was from Catherine, "Miss Bonays, please listen to what I have to say before you decide whether to be angry. Gemini Home Entertainment is indeed my investment and I have been following this company Mercury Production Company is invested in the name of Gemini Entertainment, and the presidents of these three companies are Mr. Tetsu Kataoka. Mr. Tetsu Kataoka has a complicated background, so I can only tell you that he is just a certain interest in Japan The representative of the group. First of all, what I want to assure you is that these three companies are absolutely legal, not only complying with the laws of the company’s location but also complying with the relevant laws of the United States; secondly, I want to guarantee that although I produce and distribute adult video tapes , but the actors I recruited are all over the age of [-], and they are fully conscious and voluntary. We have legal employment contracts with these actors, and they not only have corresponding remuneration but also enjoy The social welfare policy of the host country, and we respect the performance habits of male stars, and will not force them to film actions they don’t like or dangerous. The important thing is that we provide them with monthly STD and AIDS checks. It can be said , I did it more thoroughly than the American Adult Film Association. As for the question of why condoms are not used in the filming, that is the problem of the director and the production team. All the adult video tapes officially imported to the United States through the channel of Gemini Home Entertainment, we add A warning subtitle was added to remind the audience that the scenes in the film are only for shooting needs and to remind the audience to pay attention to the correct use of condoms in daily intimate behaviors. We also announced the contact number of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the contact information of gay intervention organizations at the end of the film. Therefore I I don't think the money I make is immoral, and I hope you understand that."
After listening to Jed's nagging, Catherine said coldly, "Who told you that public opinion follows the law? Mr. Sherman, if public opinion obeyed the law, our public relations staff would have been out of work long ago! All of American adults know that adult video tapes are protected by the "First Amendment to the US Constitution" and are legal. But now we are not discussing whether it is legal or not, but moral issues! A video with a certain status in the United States The rich man is running gay adult video tapes, and he is also good friends with a star who is deeply involved in a child molestation case. It is said that he is gay...Mr. Sherman, after connecting these three points, can you make me a beautiful story? Is it a Disney fairy tale? No! What I can think of now is, what happened to you, Michael, to children together? Have you and John ever sexually abused minors?"
After listening to Catherine's words, Jed's face darkened immediately. "I think I need a crisis PR right now, too."
"In addition to me, you need to hire another PR company to execute it." Catherine said, "I have already contacted Burson-Marsteller for you. I think their [-]/[-] crisis management is exactly what you need now."
"I'm on my way to Palm Beach Rose Castle now, you can come and find me with their PR team."
"You actually know how to avoid the harassment of reporters at this time?" Catherine pretended to be surprised and said, "We will contact a news media with credibility in the United States and the world as soon as possible to conduct an exclusive interview with you, and it is estimated that there will be two to three media , including one TV media and two print media. Also, I will contact some sociologists and critics as soon as possible to endorse your statement. Mr. Sherman, I have to say that this time you are helping Mr. Jackson You have offended some people, and this is probably just their warning to you."
"So what? It's not like I haven't seen soldiers coming to cover up water and soil!" Jed responded lightly.
