Chapter 1488: Picture-in-Picture Live Broadcast of a Real Police and Gangster Film
"It is reported that LAPD has gone to OJ's residence to report the death of his ex-wife Nicole Brown. The details will be brought to you by our reporter..."

Such a high-profile murder case, in which a celebrity's ex-wife and a very handsome restaurant waiter were killed, prompted television stations to send satellite broadcasting equipment to Simpson's home for live broadcast.

The pictures of Nicole Brown and the murdered waiter, Ron Goldman, had been on the headlines for a day, and the media that went to the Simpson home came up empty-handed. Former football star and actor OJ Simpson was not at home.

The media seemed to have determined that Simpson was suspected of being involved in the case, and many TV stations sent out teams to broadcast the incident live, and there were also several helicopters. Simpson's neighbors began to complain.

Ronald watched "Forrest Gump" again in the screening room at home. The film made final adjustments based on the feedback from extensive test screenings. The scene where President George H.W. and Forrest Gump played table tennis was deleted from the feature film because some female viewers thought that the scene was indecent because Forrest Gump hit the former president's crotch.

Although he was almost tired of watching the movie, Ronald still fulfilled his duties as a director. He made small revisions again and again before the release to modify the valuable audience feedback obtained from the preview.

"Do you think there are any other problems? If not, I will sign..."

Ronald said this to Michelle Cannold and David Simkins who came to watch the movie with him. They both shook their heads and said that the movie was perfect.

These Daydreaming executives now have no opinions on Ronald's movies. Whether it's because they got DDH's options and became rich, and they are no longer in the audience group, or because they don't dare to give sincere opinions to their big boss...

In short, if Ronald wants to get real opinions now, he has to spend money to hire some anonymous survey companies and blend into the crowd at the preview to get some real audience feedback.

By this stage, the finished film had already been polished to maturity. Walter Murch, who helped Ronald edit the film, had already adjusted the film to near perfection. Every transition could subtly draw the audience's attention to where the director wanted them to go.

He was also in charge of sound editing and seamlessly integrated dozens of representative songs reflecting different eras of America into the film's soundtrack. These songs in many places were matched with the sound effects of the scene when they appeared, which was not abrupt, and did not suffer from the drawback of the usual movie soundtrack for the sake of sensationalism.

Ronald exchanged a glance with him, then signed his name on the document, indicating that he could begin editing the film and starting production of projection copies.

After finishing this, he immediately flew to New York. The finals had already begun, and the first three games were tied at 1:2. The third game was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Ronald did not watch it live, but Sam Cassell, a substitute who looked a bit like ET, made a three-pointer with seconds left to help the Houston Rockets win the game.

The superstition among New York fans has grown very strong, and many fans have begun to hold up banners, hoping that Ronald can be present to watch the game and bring good luck to the Knicks.

In order not to disappoint the fans, Ronald decided to go to New York to watch two games in a row. The finals adopted a 2-3-2 format, and the three middle games were held in New York, which had a slightly worse regular season record.

Another big event this summer is the World Cup in America. At noon on the day of the fifth finals match, the host country America will play against Switzerland at Soldier Field in Chicago.

In this country where the word "football" actually refers to American football, the round ball game that Europeans and South Americans are best at playing is called "soccer"... In addition, in order to facilitate European audiences, the kick-off time must be held at noon and in the afternoon when the temperature is the highest in summer, when the ground temperature exceeds 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to American audiences, fans around the world actually complain about it.

In the past two days, a large number of fans have begun to enter the big cities of America, and they have made Americans understand the craze for the world's number one sport. Unlike Americans, those people are not crazy only in the stadium, but they paint their cheeks in the colors of the national team on the street, and then shout and swagger in groups through the city.

If they met fans of their opponents in the group stage, some teams' fans would even fight on the spot, which caused headaches for the security forces in various places.

When Ronald was waiting at the airport, he saw a group of fans wearing Romanian costumes getting off a civilian airliner. There are many Central American immigrants in California who support the Colombian team, and the scene gave those Romanians some "shock".

Fortunately, the third group match was played at the Rose Bowl here against the host United States team, which made the LAPD breathe a sigh of relief. They decided not to make more trouble at this juncture.

When Ronald's plane arrived in New York, the exit was very lively. This is the transit station for fans from all over the world to watch the game in America... There are fans wearing all kinds of clothes.

Ronald was excited when he saw a group of fans wearing red clothes and looking like Asians coming over. He was about to go up to take a closer look, but he found that they were a group of Korean fans. When he saw the World Cup promotional materials at the airport, he realized that China did not come again and was not among the 24 teams in the finals.

"Shxt... Why are there so many fans? What countries are they from?" After getting in his bulletproof Mercedes, Ronald saw that the road was blocked again. The road was full of fans wearing three main colors, with green and white being particularly eye-catching.

"Those people are supporters of Mexico..." Little Bud was very familiar with the appearance of these people from the south. In Ronald's home in Los Angeles, the gardener was a Mexican uncle.

"That's Irish..." The bodyguard Daniel was of Irish descent, and his green tall hat betrayed the fans.

"Are these from Italy?" Ronald himself recognized a group of people whose flag was the same color as Mexico's, but who used gestures when they spoke.

"The organizers of the World Cup are really thoughtful..."

Ronald smiled. New York is the largest gathering place for Italians and Irish people. Wouldn't it be the best box office if the game was held here?

Soon, on the 15th, Ronald went to watch the fourth game of the Knicks finals. In this game, Derek Harper and veteran Oakley performed brilliantly, scoring 20 points each. Cassell, who had played the last game to defeat the Knicks, was silent, and Olajuwon's 30 points in the game were useless. The Knicks tied the total score.

The scene became a sea of ​​joy among the audience. In the end, the audience toasted each other with beer in free plastic cups. Some fans even boldly ran up to Ronald and wanted to toast with him.

"Cheers!"

Ronald likes these fans very much. They don’t look rich at all. They are probably white-collar workers working in Manhattan, or union workers from the port (they have good salaries).

To buy such expensive tickets for the finals, and to buy tickets from the cheapest seats at the top, it is highly likely that they are not rich people and can only choose to watch one game.

Ronald checked with them and found out that they were all fans who only had enough money to watch one game. Ronald was happy and asked someone for two tickets for the day after tomorrow, gave them to the two lucky fans, and took photos with them.

Ronald is willing to do this kind of thing to please the fans. Although these people have no ability to say anything about the Knicks' management, at a critical moment, if the fans unite to support someone, the pressure of public opinion can still do something at a critical moment.

"Ronald, they all say you are the Knicks' winning mascot..." James Dolan, who was standing next to him, suddenly started to speak rudely to Ronald.

"Haha, this is all coincidence. Winning the game is mainly due to the outstanding performance of the players and... the coach's proper training..." Ronald couldn't say anything good about Head Coach Riley.

In terms of on-the-spot response, Riley's level is not ranked first in the league. However, he is very hardworking in daily training, which is well-known throughout the NBA. He often causes injuries to players, leading to losses in key games...

“Hahahaha…” The fans around laughed out loud, knowing that the new boss was also an expert, at least he knew what the fans liked to hear.

"Hey, Ronald, I think we need a little bit of luck on the road too. Do you think my father and I will be the ones to watch the away games?" It turned out that James Dolan hoped that he could also get some stories among the fans about the boss who wins the game by coming to the scene.

"Of course, but if I have nothing else to do, I will go. This year is my first time to watch the Knicks game live, and I hope to witness the moment of lifting the Finals trophy..."

Ronald certainly doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Although the last two games of the finals (if there is a seventh game) are held in Houston, there will definitely be a lot of fans watching the TV broadcast. He doesn't want only the Dolan family to appear at the championship award ceremony. In this way, Dolan and the team's easy will be forever frozen in the photo, and there will always be photos of them raising glasses in the team's hall of fame in the future. It would be a bit disgusting if he was not on it.

"Hehehe..." Dolan laughed strangely and his nose twitched, which made Ronald wonder if he was...

Ignoring these people, Ronald went to the house on Fifth Avenue. Helen was waiting for him there...

"Did you watch the news today?" Helen asked Ronald with sweat on her face, lying on the bed with her head on Ronald's shoulder.

"I didn't see it. What's interesting?" Ronald turned on the remote control, and sure enough, many TV stations began broadcasting news about Simpson's ex-wife again.

Reporters discovered that Simpson was hiding in the home of his lawyer, Robert Kardashian, who was a good friend of Simpson. He had a wisp of white hair on his dark hair, dividing his hairline, which made him unforgettable.

Kardashian has now become Simpson's spokesperson, saying that Simpson was just overly sad and was looking forward to the progress of the LAPD's investigation. In addition, he came to his home because he did not want to be harassed by reporters.

The Los Angeles media, who were given a moral position, refused to let them go and began to ask some sensitive questions. For example, someone broke the news to the TV station, claiming that he saw Simpson driving in violation of traffic rules at an intersection near the scene on the day of the murder...

……

"Hey, there are people in America who can play football..."

On the day of the opening ceremony of the World Cup, Ronald watched the opening ceremony of the game between America and Switzerland at home. Switzerland scored a goal first, and then captain Winalda equalized the score with a free kick.

"Breaking news, LAPD announced that OJ Simpson is a suspect in a double first-degree murder case... Simpson's lawyer Robert Kardashian said that OJ will go to the LAPD to surrender on his own..."

"Huh?" Ronald was shocked. Could it really be OJ who did it?
In recent days, a lot of news about the Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman cases has been leaked, and some tabloid media have even released all the news. It is said that the scene was very bloody and cruel. OJ's ex-wife Nicole Brown almost had her throat cut, and Ron Goldman was executed after kneeling down.

As for OJ Simpson...well, he was an NFL All-Star running back and was indeed very strong.

An hour later, OJ Simpson did not leave Kardashian's house. A spokesperson for the LAPD announced that they would go to Kardashian's house in an hour to arrest the celebrity.

All the TV stations in Los Angeles went to Kardashian's house to broadcast the news live, and several helicopters circled in the sky, trying to get the latest news.

When the LAPD arrived at the scene, Simpson had already disappeared with another friend. The LAPD was so angry that they immediately declared Simpson a fugitive and issued a nationwide wanted notice...

At this time, Robert Kardashian also read a letter left by OJ Simpson in front of the media. It said:
First of all, everyone should understand that he had nothing to do with Nicole's murder. He asked the media "as a last wish" not to disturb his children.

The letter also apologized to 24 of his friends, another ex-girlfriend, and included "I can't go on" and an apology to the Goldman family. The letter ended with: "Don't feel sorry for me. I'm doing well and have great friends. Please think about the real OJ, not this lost person."

The media generally interpreted this as a suicide note, and OJ Simpson may have committed suicide...

Ronald shook his head. This was too tragic. He and Helen set out to watch the Knicks' fifth game in the finals.

The game was held at 9pm. Ronald arrived at the scene. This time, James Dolan took his place and cheered for the team on the sidelines. Ronald smiled and went to the box with Helen. He was not going to show up today.

Riley still had no way to limit Olajuwon, and the team fell behind in the third quarter. Ronald knew the situation was not good, so he could only hope that the Knicks would have the advantage in physical strength in the fourth quarter.

Ronald waited until the timeout and turned on NBC's TV broadcast in the box, hoping to see some live commentators' comments on the game situation.

"what is this?"

Ronald pressed the remote a few times to confirm that it was indeed NBC's channel. There was no live game on the screen, but a Ford Mustang speeding on an overpass.

The footage was clearly from a helicopter aerial camera. The news anchor at the scene also said that OJ Simpson was in the car and that the LAPD was mobilizing vehicles to chase and intercept him.

"What is this? A live police drama?"

Ronald was stunned.

"beep……"

A whistle sounded and the game started again, and then NBC's screen switched to the finals.

But after a goal was scored, the scene cut to Simpson's highway chase, and the commentator predicted at which intersection the LAPD might catch up with him.

When the game started on the court, the TV cut back, and then when a dead ball came, it cut back to the live high-speed chase.

"What the hell is this?" Ronald was very angry. What the hell is this broadcast? If you want to broadcast the news, just go to other channels.

NBC doesn't care about these. Although basketball fans have complaints, the audience cheers. When has America ever broadcast a police chase on the highway? These are scenes that can only be seen in movie theaters. They are all fake. This is real... There is a Nigger in the car, being chased by countless white police cars... Will there be a gunfight in the end, and then bang bang, will he be shot to death?

"This won't do..." Ronald was about to call the team's public relations department and ask them to protest to NBC.

As if NBC had heard his protests, it came up with a new trick, cutting a small scene of a high-speed chase into the broadcast of the finals, creating a picture-in-picture...

"You are really amazing..."
