"Of course we watched the news!" Brad obviously didn't understand the meaning of Hugo's words, looked at Hugo with an incredible expression, and attacked Hugo in a firm and angry tone, "It's because we watched the news that we know the truth of the facts, white police." It is absolutely unforgivable that Cha should use his position to beat up ordinary residents at will, and he is also a black man. ”

Hugo noticed, and Brad's eyes glanced at Rob next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, which shows that he will condemn Hugo on such an occasion, and it is difficult to say that today's audition has no impact at all.

It can be heard from Brad's words that he still takes the distinction between blacks and whites very strictly, especially emphasizing that it is whites who beat blacks, not just policemen. The beating of residents is also inseparable from the direction of American history.

Racial discrimination in the United States has a long history, but with the development of modern history, economy, culture and other factors, the confrontation between races is constantly improving, and this situation made a huge breakthrough in the 62nd Oscars in 1990. miss。 Daisy)" won the Best Picture award in one fell swoop. This also marks the first time that the predominantly white American cultural system has extended an olive branch to blacks.

Of course, this is just a movie, and even though "Driving for Miss Daisy" won the Oscar, the status of black people has not fundamentally changed. However, the fact that Oscar favors "driving for Miss Daisy" shows that at least the white supremacist cultural society has realized that racial discrimination is bound to change, so in the next twenty years, or for a longer period of time, with "driving for Miss Daisy" as the www.biquge.info, the conflict between whites, blacks, and Jews has been changing in a subtle way.

Therefore, in the context of such an era, after Rodney King was given the concept of race, the energy that erupted was indeed terrifying, and Brad would have such a view, which is actually an allusion to the universal values of white people in American culture, including Rob, Martin, Joseph and others.

In the face of Brad's aggressiveness, Rob also looked at Hugo with a relatively cold gaze, obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's expression just now. This made Joseph, who was sitting next to him, a little anxious, he wanted to say a few words for Hugo, but seeing Martin who was ready to attack opposite, Joseph knew that this was a duel between actors, and if he intervened as an agent, then Martin would also have to intervene, and the situation would only become more chaotic. So, Joseph swallowed the words from his lips and looked at Hugo worriedly.

Hugo was not in a hurry, he did not appear flustered because of Brad's oppression and Robb's coldness, but his voice was steady, and he said with a full heart, "I mean, you didn't see the news playing later?" Eighty-one seconds, not sixty-eight! ”

Hugo's words immediately stunned several people present, and they didn't react for a while.

KTLA TV edited and released the video and made the redacted footage available to major U.S. television stations, making the timing of Rodney King's beating headline. But it's worth noting that three weeks after the video aired, CNN, the television station, learned that the tape provided by KTLA had deleted the crucial portion, and the station's vice president, Ed Turner. Turner) immediately ordered that the redacted section must be added when the news was rebroadcast.

In fact, although the eighty-one second version is thirteen seconds longer than sixty-eight, the actual footage involving Rodney King's arrest is less than six seconds, but even so, it is enough for people to see the truth clearly, police. Cha is only doing proper law enforcement, not the scene in the 68-second video.

However, the three major television networks in the United States, ABC, NBC, CBS, and KTLA, a local station in Los Angeles, still insisted on airing the 68-second version of the video. In the United States, the news of the three major television networks is free, and KTLA does not charge in the Los Angeles area, and the TV station is a cable TV program that must be purchased with money, and the ordinary American people live a tight rhythm, even if they spend money to buy cable TV programs, they are mainly watching games, TV programs, and movie replays, and there are not many viewers who watch the news, and few people will notice the slight difference between the two videos.

This was 1992, when the Internet was not yet developed, people's sources of information were relatively closed, and the mainstream media was the leader of public opinion, with the absolute right to guide public opinion. With a very small news audience, the three major commercial television networks controlled the trend of public opinion on this incident, and even US President George Bush was kept in the dark.

In this week's poll, 92 percent of the public thought white people were police. Guilty of guilt, that's the way it is now. Obviously, Rob, Brad, Martin and the others in front of them are all members of this ninety-two percent.

It was also an accident that Hugo and Joseph would see the news, when filming in New York, they saw the news in a hotel room by chance, Hugo didn't know much about these situations at the time, and it was only after seeing Joseph's shocked expression that he understood the ins and outs of the Rodney King affair. Before the crossing, Hugo was born in 1989, so the news events in the United States in the early nineties did not have much real sense for Hugo, but now he is in this society, and Hugo can't help but sigh that he was not suitable for his white skin before, and now he should be glad that he did not cross over to become a black man.

After Hugo briefly explained the situation of the news, Rob fell into deep thought, obviously greatly shocked by this fact, Brad noticed Rob's demeanor, and he secretly cried in his heart that it was not good, and this quietly, Hugo began to take advantage.

Brad couldn't help but look at his agent Martin, Martin was much calmer, he thought about it, and whispered to Brad, "Media, media." Brad didn't react at first, but not only was he not stupid, but he was also a very smart person, and after thinking about it, he understood.

So, Brad organized his language a little, looked up at Hugo again, and asked with a stern expression, "Then you mean that the American news media, which has always advertised the pursuit of the truth, actually openly faked?" And is it still judicial journalism that emphasizes the fact of life? Isn't KTLA afraid of inspiring civil revolt? ”

Hugo was a little surprised that Brad was so ...... Naive. But soon, Hugo realized that this was the 90s, the 90s when people's trust in the media was unparalleled, not the 21st century, when fake news was everywhere. As Hugo, questioning the media is a habitual action, because the era of "truth is the first element of news" is no longer important under the catalysis of the Internet, on the contrary, interests are the most important, for the sake of interests, fabricating news to create explosive points and other means can be said to be almost all-encompassing.

The uncrowned king, this is a very foreign word to Hugo, but it is the most real life for the few people who lived in the 80s and 90s. That's why Brad was able to say that with such righteous words, because he firmly believed so.

Hugo did not speak, but stretched out his right hand and made a slap gesture and placed it on Joseph's face, which made Rob and Brad stunned, and even Martin, who had always been disdainful of Hugo, was quite stunned. And although Joseph was a little nervous, he once thought that Hugo was really going to beat him, but then he put his mind at ease, and inexplicably, he was willing to believe that Hugo was confident.

"If this picture is captured by reporters, there are several possibilities, one is that it is just me and Joseph, and the other is that all of us are filmed, how do you think the media will interpret it?" Hugo met Brad's condemning gaze without evasion, and said in a dignified manner, "I could sue you that maybe Vanity Fair would take a picture of me and Joseph and say that I had a conflict with my agent, while the Los Angeles Times would use a picture of the five of us and say that Rob chose you and that I had an unpleasant relationship with my agent because of my outburst." So, what do you think of the 'National Inquirer. How will enquirer' be reported? ”

"The National Inquirer", an American gossip tabloid. In the United States, there are a bunch of so-called "supermarket gossip tabloids", which are biweekly magazines mainly sold in supermarkets, with small layouts, easy to carry, and thrown away after reading, but the price is not cheap. Many times it is used as a mat or waste paper, and when you accidentally aim at it, you may put down your hand and read it. The front pages of tabloids often run some jubberish, sensational news and rumors, and everything is done to attract attention. And the "National Inquirer" is the leading boss among them.

Faced with Hugo's question, Brad was directly stunned, he already knew what Hugo meant, but he had no way to refute it.

Hugo had no intention of waiting for an answer, and said directly, "I think the 'National Inquirer' may say that Joseph and I are jealous and fight over Brad." As soon as this sentence was spoken, Rob burst out laughing, and the tense atmosphere just now melted and disintegrated in an instant, and the expressions of Brad and Joseph were very strange, and they were made to cry and laugh by Hugo.

As for Martin, he began to look at Hugo meaningfully, although he has always been disdainful of Hugo, but at this moment, Hugo is witty and calm enough, no matter how he is an actor, but as a man, his personality charm is indeed very admirable. Martin stood in the shoes of an agent and saw in Hugo the potential to become a cash cow.
