Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 708 "707" nationwide coverage, news bombardment!

In a villa in Beverly Hills,

Ben Stuart Resnick, leader of the Los Angeles Squid, put down the report in his hand and sighed heavily.

He originally thought that through a series of previous operations, the Chinese propaganda on the Nanjing Massacre would gradually fade, and the Squidman's status as the "only victim" in World War II would continue to be maintained, and he would continue to gain widespread sympathy, attention and support from all over the world.

But now, the intervention of this $5 exhibition by Umbrella Corporation has completely disrupted their plans.

The Chinese broke the original situation in an unexpected way, allowing the truth of the Nanjing Massacre to be seen by citizens throughout California, and even some media have spread it to other states.

He frowned, knowing that once the sufferings of the Chinese in World War II received widespread attention, the Squidman's status as the "only victim" would be shaken.

This is no small matter, and it may lead to a decline in political influence and significant losses in economic interests.

Thinking of this, Resnick's face turned very ugly.

"No, it must be suppressed!"

He quickly called the Squid Men in various media outlets and asked all the media outlets controlled by the Squid Men in the United States not to report on this incident.

Downplay!

Cold treatment!
As long as the heat is over, Squidward will still be "the only victim in the world"!
……

……

San Francisco.

Umbrella Corporation Headquarters.

"Boss~~"

"Yesterday, the Los Angeles exhibition received more than 4300 visitors, and the San Francisco exhibition received more than 3800 visitors..."

Brother Bao and others are reporting to Guan Zu.

Guan Zu nodded: "It's still a bit slow to rely on this alone, but our main purpose is to rely on it to warm up the game and let the media follow up..."

“In terms of media coverage, what are the specific circumstances?”

Brother Leopard: "Today we bought a copy of every newspaper in California, and the statistical result is: 58% of the newspapers did not report our incident..."

Guan Zu: "Then let's take the next step and let us Chinese people and our friends call these media outlets to complain."

"If the Squidward can do it, we can do it too!"

Brother Leopard nodded: "We will start mobilizing people to do this tonight."

Guan Zu looked at Li Jie and asked, "What do you think about the Zhigongtang?"

Zhi Gong Tang is the general name of the Hongmen organization in America. It was officially registered and established in Honolulu, USA in 1876.

The headquarters is in New York, with branches in Chicago, Boston, Washington, and New York City.

On the west coast, there is the Wuzhou Zhigong General Hall in San Francisco, which is the earliest Hongmen hall in the United States.

unfortunately,

Even now, the energy it exerts is still too poor. Just like before the Umbrella Corporation came to San Francisco, the status of Chinese people was the lowest in the whole city, even lower than that of African Americans. It is really that with a population of 40, they played a worse hand than Japan with 2 people. It is simply a good hand that was played badly.

Look at it now. Thanks to the efforts of the Umbrella Corporation, the Democratic Party is on the rise and the power of ethnic minorities is expanding. Who dares to look down on the Chinese community?
However, the current Zhi Gong Party is a bit of a noob, but it is still useful.

Guan Zu hopes to use it to contact the Zhigongtang headquarters on the East Coast and promote the "Nanjing Massacre" exhibition and incident to the East Coast of the United States.

Because Guan Zu's sphere of influence has not yet extended to the East Coast. If it does, I will be in charge of the overall situation of the Chinese on the East Coast!

Li Jie: "The president of the Zhi Gong Tang in San Francisco said that he would definitely promote this matter and would contact the Zhi Gong Tang headquarters on the East Coast..."

Guan Zu nodded: "That's good. I was afraid that they didn't even have this awareness."

"Okay, one more thing..."

Everyone was solemn.

Guan Zu said seriously: "The Squid wants to maintain their status and doesn't want to help us."

"In that case, let's not be polite. We should use the means if necessary."

"First, go find reporters to interview those squid scholars or prestigious wealthy businessmen and force them to express their opinions. If they don't accept the interview, then report that they don't admit it. If they express their opinions... you know how to do it."

Everyone nodded.

"Second, all reports are tied to the Squid Man Massacre, saying it is the world's two most cruel and darkest massacres... We want people all over the United States and the world to think of the Nanjing Massacre when they hear about the Squid Man Massacre."

"Yes!"

Guan Zu: "Contact Miss Zhang Chunru and ask her to get ready. She will be on TV soon..."

Li Jie: "Okay."

……

……

202 West First Street, Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Times building.

The Los Angeles Times was founded on December 1881, 12 and is currently one of the largest circulated newspapers in the United States.

Squidman has shares in it, so there was no news related to the Nanjing Massacre exhibition reported this time.

at this time,

Customer Service Office Area,

"Ling ring ring~~~"

The customer service landline phones were ringing frantically, and the sharp ringtones formed a web of noise.

The operators were scrambling to answer yet another call.

"What's wrong with your newspaper? Why is there no exhibition about the Nanjing Massacre? Other newspapers report it, why don't you?"

"If there is no relevant report in the newspaper tomorrow, I will unsubscribe immediately!"

Nancy tried to comfort him, but he didn't give her a chance to speak and just hung up the phone after scolding her.

As soon as I hung up, the phone started ringing again and the next call came in.

"Ring, ring, ring~~~"*N
In just one hour, the customer service department's desk was piled with complaint records, each of which was filled with angry words.

Jenny, the customer service supervisor, frowned and hurried into the office of the director of the news department, holding a thick stack of complaint forms.

In the director's office,

Robert was worrying about the layout of next week. In the list of hot news topics posted on the wall, gossip about Hollywood stars took up most of the space.

Jenny knocks on the door.

report.

"A large number of readers have threatened to cancel their subscriptions. They asked us to cover the Nanjing Massacre exhibition. Now the phone is about to explode!"

Robert frowned.

He knew the news.

It is a history about Chinese people. As for whether it is tragic or not, as an American, he feels nothing at all.

This is indeed big news, and many newspapers are reporting it.

However, the Los Angeles Times did not report the incident because the Squidward shareholders behind the incident called and told them not to report it.

As a veteran in the news industry, Robert naturally understood the twists and turns involved and found this squid man really disgusting.

Robert looked at Jenny: "Is it from the Chinese?"

Jenny: “Not sure, but it should be.”

Robert frowned.

He hates the Squid, but he also hates the Chinese. He used to despise and ignore the Chinese, but now he can't. The Chinese are gradually increasing their social influence in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and California, and are becoming more united.

If we lose this group of readers, it will be a heavy blow to newspaper sales and advertising revenue.

For money,

Robert felt that this matter must be dealt with.

So he reported to the president.

"President, I have something to report to you. The Chinese are now making large-scale complaints because we did not report on the Nanjing Massacre exhibition. The phone calls have not stopped. They said that if we do not report on it, they will not subscribe to our newspaper..."

The president was silent on the other end of the phone.

Chinese people are now more united than before, which makes them a bit difficult to deal with.

He asked: "What is the attitude of the Squidward shareholders?"

Robert answered truthfully: "I haven't asked yet, but last time they made it clear that this content cannot be reported."

The president thought for a while and said, "Then don't worry about them. We can't lose the Chinese reader market!" In a capitalist society, it's normal to focus on money!
The Squid Man was just one of the shareholders, unlike in later generations, where the Squid Man had a strong penetration into the media system.

"Yes, President!"

After Robert hung up the phone, he immediately called several key members of the news department and arranged for reporters to go to the exhibition site in Chinatown for an interview.

Soon, reporters set out to the Chinatown exhibition site.

Not long after, Robert returned home and was visited by Brother Leopard, who gave him money.

Robert's attitude was very cold: "Please go out, you are not welcome here!"

Brother Leopard smiled: "Mr. Robert, please take a look at our sincerity first..."

Laying out bundles of cash...

Robert: “…………”

Silence for 3 seconds.
Show your smile!

quickly,

The two sides began a pleasant conversation.

Robert said righteously: "Actually, I don't love money. I just pursue the truth and report the truth with the professional qualities of a journalist!"

Brother Leopard is an old hand and he flatters Robert.

Robert's favorable impression towards Chinese people increased rapidly.

Then, Brother Leopard stated his request.

"what?"

Robert was stunned for a moment. "Bundle the Nanjing Massacre and the Squidman Massacre together? Make people think of the Nanjing Massacre when they mention the Squidman Massacre?"

I was shocked inside.

Wow, what a brilliant plan!

Brother Leopard: "Yes, thank you for your help, Mr. Robert."

Robert patted his chest: "No problem! For the truth!"

Look at each other.

hahaha~~~
Hehehehe~~~
Hehehe~~~
Both of them laughed!

The same scene appeared in major media outlets in Los Angeles and California. These media outlets were forced to join the reporting due to complaints, and then some people came to their doors to give them money.

Then, one by one, the righteous journalists expressed their righteous opinion that more coverage must be given and bundled coverage must be given!

Not only in California, but also in cities on the East Coast such as New York, Washington, and Boston, the Zhi Gong Party was urged by the umbrella company to mobilize some Chinese to call and complain about those newspapers. Although it was lame, it more or less affected some newspapers. They also gave money, but the money was paid by the umbrella company.

……

……

Under the operation of the Umbrella Corporation, the reporting direction of the California media changed rapidly.

Newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times reported on the Nanjing Massacre exhibition on their front pages, and mentioned it alongside the Squidman Massacre in their articles, emphasizing that they were "two anti-human atrocities in human history."

This move triggered a chain reaction, with major and small media outlets in California following suit with similar reporting strategies, presenting a comparison of historical materials on the two catastrophes through special pages and interview columns.

After receiving funding, some media outlets in Washington, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other places on the East Coast began to publish comparative reports, juxtaposing the data on the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, the historical materials on the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and the concentration camp records of the Squid Man Massacre, sparking heated discussions among the American public.

The main reason is that Squidward did a great job of publicity.

In addition,

Many reporters also took money to interview squid scholars and famous squid people.

The squids were forced to make a statement: claiming that the Nanjing Massacre was a very sad thing for mankind.

They dare not say bad things.

Because any remarks that deny or belittle the Nanjing Massacre may trigger a more serious backlash against the Squid Man.

As a result, more and more media outlets carried out bundled reporting.

then……

The Squidman's defense is broken!

……

……

"Bang~~~"

In a villa in Beverly Hills,

Ben Stewart Resnick, leader of the Los Angeles Squid, smashed the cup again.

"Cunning Chinese!"

"hateful!"

“They tied us up for propaganda!”

Since the 1930s, when the Squid Man entered the United States, he began to consciously shape his own pitiful image. After more than 60 years of shaping, almost no one in the United States is unaware of the Squid Man's misery.

For example, "The Greatest Nation in the World"...

This kind of soft article was even used in China, which was still very backward in the 1980s and 1990s.

This shows how outrageous it is.

How much did Squidward cost?

All in all, it cost a lot of money.

They spent so much energy and money to create their own "most miserable person in the world" character and gain sympathy from all over the world.

As a result, when the Chinese arrived, they took away half of the "property"!
But they can't refute it!
Wrong!

Angry!
……

Not only him, but other squidmen also fell into unprecedented anger and anxiety.

The Washington Jewish Community Federation held an emergency closed-door meeting, during which participants slammed the table and accused the Chinese of "seizing the right to speak about history."

Jewish media moguls in Manhattan were shouting abuses over the phone.

And more squid people fell into collective anxiety.

Groups such as the Methodist Israel Committee and the Mutual Aid Society urgently discussed countermeasures. Some proposed increasing publicity about the Squid Man Massacre to strengthen the public's memory of the Jewish historical suffering; others advocated launching counter-propaganda and not allowing Chinese people to be tied together.

But no matter which plan they choose, they cannot get rid of the Nanjing Massacre.

……

of course,

There is another group of people who are even more angry and furious - the Japanese.

The news even reached Japan, causing outrage among top Japanese officials.

"Bagaya Road!!"

……

In a flash,
A week passed.

From the west coast to the east coast of the United States, public opinion started to rise, then reached its peak, and then... gradually declined...

News hotspots are gradually replaced by other news hotspots.

……

San Francisco,
Umbrella Corporation Headquarters.

Guan Zu called everyone together again: "The hot news is almost over..."

"We are about to start the third phase!"

"Li Jie, tell me about the preparations for the third phase."

Li Jie said seriously: "First, we have organized more than 50 sessions for Chinese people in the San Francisco Bay Area to study Miss Zhang's "Nanjing Massacre" and learn about history..."

"Secondly, a large number of Chinese visited the exhibition and they were very hostile to the Japanese..."

"Finally, I've got a parade permit from the San Francisco Bay Area!"

Under California law, public gatherings do not require a permit, but for parades, a parade permit must be applied for from the police department at least 30 days in advance.

And yesterday, exactly 30 days had passed, and we received the "Parade Permit" approved by the City Hall!
And the parade route happens to pass through Japantown!
what is this?
It was undoubtedly a public display of disapproval!
Guan Zu was eager to try this time, his eyes excited: "The opportunity to fight the Japanese is rare, we can't miss this opportunity!"

Gong Wei is ready to go!
