Chapter 216 Accepting a Talk Show Interview
After mocking the Oscar celebrations, Jed Shirley returned to the United States from the UAE with John.He is well aware of Bush Jr.'s method of brazenly sending troops to Iraq in total disregard of international opposition this year, and he doesn't want to be caught by Saddam Hussein as a meat ticket.
Although it is difficult for non-Americans to understand why Bush Jr. wanted to kill Iraq resolutely, Jade knew it well.The largest interest group behind Bush Jr. is the US oil consortium. There are no more than three interest groups in the United States that can influence US national policy: the bank consortium, the oil consortium, and the arms consortium.Attacking Iraq is in the interests of the oil consortium and the arms consortium, so even if the United Nations and NATO object, Bush Jr. will send troops.
Jed is not an international pacifist. Since Bush Jr. intends to send troops to attack Iraq, international oil prices are bound to fluctuate.The first time Jed returned to the United States was to contact U.S. Bank and Hualin Investment Company to start analyzing what interests he could reap. Speculating on oil futures was a windfall. Back then, Jed’s father relied on oil in the 70s In one fell swoop, he became a new rich man in California.
Although the investment managers of Hualin Investment didn't know where Jed got the news, since it was ordered by his boss, he naturally had to do his best to do it.In less than a week, this group of investment elites had worked out plans A, B, and C, and they were waiting for Bush Jr. to send troops to attack Iraq.Jed is also very concerned about this gamble, as long as it succeeds this time, it will not only take a big bite out of the Sony Group, but also swallow Lionsgate and MGM into the stomach of the Galaxy Entertainment Group.
While Jed and John were on vacation, Shannity once again completed the reorganization of Galaxy-related companies. All entertainment companies in the United States will be merged into the Galaxy Entertainment Group, and all entertainment companies in Asia will be included in Asia. Entertainment Group, and finally formed Sherman Holdings to control Galaxy Entertainment Group and Asia Entertainment Group.
The reason why Shannity reorganized and split up is also a last resort, because some companies have already sued Jade's company for alleged monopoly. In order to avoid falling into "anti-monopoly lawsuits", Shannity had to do so.The current Galaxy Entertainment Group wholly owns Galaxy Film Group, Galaxy TV Group and Galaxy Music Group, and then jointly owns Warner Galaxy Group with Warner Entertainment Group.The publishing-related Muse Culture Company and the theater-related AMC Wanda Group were split by Shannity into Sherman Media Group, thus avoiding prosecution under the Antitrust Act.
After returning to the United States, the attention of Jed and John's marriage did not decrease much, but it became more and more attention because of the report of "Good Homeland".The American media has gone from careful reporting to the large-scale participation now, as if this has become a carnival for the whole people.But what makes the American media depressed is that the person involved has not accepted any media interviews so far. Even "A Better Home" only took photos and did not interview the two.However, Claudia's ability to filter interviews is also very good. Many programs of Jade's TV company have been filtered out by Claudia. There are only two programs that Claudia chose for Jade, one is NBC "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and a daytime simulcast "The Ellen Show."
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is one of the most popular late-night talk shows in the U.S., and the show has always been pro-union, so the show has the love of American conservatives and blue-collar families, and what you lack most is The support of this class. They don’t know you well, so you have to be on Renault’s show and let him endorse you.” Claudia introduced Jed, “Reynolds is a very friendly host, although he likes to root After all, but if it involves personal privacy, he will cleverly avoid it. When a certain Hollywood star was involved in an affair scandal, it was because of his ridicule that he was finally forgiven by the American people, and our President Bush Jr. Although he teased him every day, he also said that Raynor is a very personable critic, so I recommend you to go on his show. As for "Ellen Show", this is the current show that can be compared with "Oprah Show" Counter to daytime talk shows, and it has a younger and more active age group. If they accept you, they will be happy to speak for you, so you get a lot of active supporters."
"Ms. Claudia, I believe you are professional." With the operation of "A Better Home", Jed now has great trust in Claudia's professionalism, since people say "Jay Leno Tonight Show" and "Ellen Show" is the best choice, so it is the best choice after thinking about it. "I can accept the interview according to your best time, and the questions can also be arranged by you."
Claudia nodded, she was also happy that her employer respected her professionalism.Claudia is not afraid of employers who are deeply involved in scandals, but she is most afraid of employers who pretend to know.Sometimes I obviously built a staircase to escape, but my employer foolishly jumped off the cliff to die.
"The Tonight Show" is a late-night talk and variety show co-produced by NBC Studios and Big Dog Production Company. The current host is Jay Leno. In the future, the host will have a nickname in China "Big Chin Leno".
The reason why Jed has a good impression of Jay Leno is that his integrity is very emotional. In the colorful world of Hollywood, Leno and his wife have been married since 1980 and have continued to this day.Moreover, Renault hardly spends money randomly. All his money is planned and invested in a regular manner. After he was fired by NBC, some people ridiculed that "Renault should buy NBC with the money he saved and fire those annoying managers." .
Renault has always regarded his work team as a family partner. When Renault was fired by NBC for the first time, his work team brought their family members to stand for Renault, saying that Renault was not because of disagreement with the work team. forced to leave.Especially in Michael Jackson's second child molestation case, among all Mike's star partners, only Elizabeth Taylor and Jay Lenoken were accused of only defending Mike as witnesses.And in the show he hosted, Renault also tried his best to defend Mike.
Although the district attorney issued a gag order against Reynolds on the grounds that "witnesses are not allowed to talk about the case being tried", Reynolds and his partners came up with a trick to let other people pretend to be themselves in the form of satire... A metaphor for Michael Jackson's child molestation case and Mike's confession.In the era when all the stars wanted to draw a line with Mike, Jed was moved by Reno's approach.
"The Tonight Show" was taped in New York City, so Jed had to fly from Los Angeles to New York for the show.Because Jed was already a famous figure at this time, he was surrounded by countless reporters on the way into the NBC studio, and he didn't calm down until he entered the studio.Just as Jed was recalling the content of the program, Renault rushed to his waiting room.
"Hello, Mr. Sherman, thank you very much for participating in my show." Renault's iconic vague pronunciation came to mind behind Jed, "If there are any questions that you don't want to answer then, you don't have to answer them. I'll avoid it."
Raynor and Jade went through the flow of the show, which, like all late-night talk shows, is basically four segments.The first paragraph is naturally Renault’s stand-up comedy; the second paragraph is an interesting video collected by the program group, and then submitted to Renault for comment; the third and fourth paragraphs are interview guests, because Jed’s background is big enough and the news is enough So fierce, so the program team decided to use the third and fourth paragraphs to interview Jed.In order not to offend Jed, the program team and Claudia repeatedly confirmed the content of the interview.
Maybe the host is not worried about being blocked by Jed, but the production team is not so courageous.Everyone knows how strong the current Galaxy TV Group is. It is not only the best sitcom production company in the United States, but also the best reality show production company in the United States, and it also produces classic and popular series in TV drama production.These production team members still expect to have the opportunity to work in the Galaxy TV Group in the future. How can they be willing to offend their future bosses?
Jed took a short rest in the waiting room for half an hour, and the on-site director came to remind Jed to get ready to play.When Renault named today's guest, the audience immediately applauded and booed.Jed couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart. He did have quite a few things that ordinary Americans disliked about him. First of all, he was too rich.
Americans can be said to love and hate the rich. The love is that most of these rich people embody the American dream, and they become rich from nothing.Fortunately, Jed has always been a supporter of the four major disease research institutions in the United States, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and AIDS, and has also made charity for the protection of children and wild animals. Otherwise, the boos in the venue would have been even greater.But even if there are people who don't welcome him on the scene, Jed still appears on the show.
"Jed, don't you mind if I call you that? It seems that not everyone welcomes you." Renault asked.
"I'm not a dollar, so of course I won't be loved by everyone." Jed teased himself, "Fortunately, I'm still welcome."
"Jed, I want to know what kind of courage encouraged you to take this step? You also know that many Americans think that your behavior is deviant, and some even think that you should be burned at the stake." Renault's question was somewhat sharp.
"It's actually not about courage, but about entitlement." Jed replied, "In fact, many Americans think that you gays can talk about your relationship in private, why do you have to show it in public? How about holding hands in Times Square? Why kiss on the Golden Gate Bridge? Now why go to register for marriage? I just want to ask, why can’t we? Since heterosexuals can hold hands in Times Square, kiss on the Golden Gate Bridge, The government registers marriage, why can't we be gay? You keep saying that you don't discriminate against homosexuals, but when you oppose our rights, you are discriminating against us. Because you think we can't be like you, isn't this discrimination Is it like half a century ago, when white people felt that black people couldn't ride with them or eat with them, this is discrimination!"
Jed's words made many people not know what to respond to, because these people did not admit that they discriminated against homosexuals, they just felt that homosexuality should not be so high-profile.But Jed's words made everyone think, since heterosexuality is okay, why not homosexuality?Isn't it discrimination to prohibit the same group of people from doing what another group of people do?
