"Director Rosenberg has no intention of promoting violence."

Standing in Fox's press room, Pany Kellis, as Duke's press spokesperson, refuted the view that many media reporters criticized the film's too bloody and violent. "Duke hated any rendering that makes violence interesting or portrays violence as subjectiveness in the game. Everything he showed was to objectively reflect violence in war."

The reason why such a press conference is to refute it and also trigger topics. While the other party’s criticism brings trouble, it can also be used for hype.

With the maintenance of Fox's staff, the order in the press room has been very good, probably the excitement of the outstanding first-day box office results. Fox's ceo Tom Rossman appeared here in person and said a few words.

"Save Private Ryan is a war film made using documentary techniques. The war scenes in the film occupy about one-third of the time, including many bloody and cruel violent scenes, but it is by no means a violent film!"

Tom Rossman's voice was extremely loud, "If you have watched this movie, you will find that none of the violent shots in the movie are for no reason. When people watch the movie, they will definitely think that this is the most realistic war film, and it will become the most realistic war film in history."

Although these words are suspected of being boasted, Duke, who is hiding behind the news hall, knows that with Fox's ability to unite the other two companies, it will then lead public opinion, which will not pose too many threats.

It would be too naive to try to fight "Save Private Ryan" and make "Brave Heart" turn over by relying solely on these methods.

No longer cared about the press conference there, Duke walked to the window and looked at the blue sky. Yesterday's single-day box office had already shown that even if "Save Private Ryan" was hit, "Brave Heart" could not be popular. Freedom is indeed the most popular slogan in the United States. However, Mel Gibson shouted out in such an extremely exaggerated way, which may be favored by the old Oscars. However, it may not be popular with the public.

If a film, borrows a few suitable scenes and shouts a few "fr" at the right time, it can make the original box office reach over 100 million yuan or even more, it is simply a ridicule of the excellent industrial production model that Hollywood has created for decades.

Film companies do not need to conduct tedious preliminary assessments and market research, and directors and screenwriters do not need to work hard to shout "fr" together.

Retracting his gaze, Duke looked down, and below was the small square in front of the main entrance of Fox Building. Sparse crowds gathered from all directions, gradually forming a dense crowd, some of whom were holding signs and slogans. Because it was too far away, he couldn't see clearly what was written on it.

But this has aroused Duke's alertness. After all, he never minded looking at this circle with the worst mentality, not to mention that the group of... black people gathered below!

In an instant, he remembered some black organizations protesting against "Save Private Ryan" in the media!

"Tina. Go to the News Hall." Duke turned his head and looked at Tinafee who was also looking down at the bottom, "Call both Townsend and Pany."

The dark skin was particularly dazzling in the bright sunlight. Nearly five hundred black people gathered in front of the Fox Building, and Fox's security personnel immediately notified the senior management and called the police. After all, in this country, most people think that the black uncles are unstable factors.

What's more, the black riots in the Greater Los Angeles area in 1992 have just passed.

The blacks were not stupid and did not do any excessive moves. Instead, under Luther's leadership, they raised the signs and slogans used to protest, and occasionally shouted a few words together, as if they were carrying out a non-violent non-cooperation campaign.

“The people who went to the City Hall theater to protest were in place.”

Someone came to inform Luther, and Luther nodded. Then he loudly said, "Raise our slogans and signs."

At this moment, another group of people came over, no less than theirs. Judging from their appearance, they were clearly Latino people. These people stopped for a distance from the black group, and then raised similar slogans and signs.

“Protesting racism in Hollywood!”

“Save Soldier Ryan discriminates against minorities!”

“Duke Rosenberg ignores the contribution of minorities in World War II!”

"Appointment to black brothers to boycott "Save Soldier Ryan"..."

The goal of these people's protests is very clear, that is "Save Soldier Ryan"!

As if they had made an appointment, they raised protest slogans and shouted a few slogans. The broadcasting car of CBS TV, owned by Viacom, drove over, and several large cameras pointed at the protesters. At the same time, a reporter came over at the right time.

"The scene where Omaha landed is actually white!" Luther talked to the reporter's microphone, "Save Soldier Ryan unilaterally denies the contribution of blacks to World War II! This is unfair to the entire black group, and blacks should boycott this movie..."

In the TV broadcast car on the other side, a person who looks like an editor was shouting, "Tell Lelis to interview some people and take more shots. The editor-in-chief explained that this is the key news that will be in prime time!"

Then, Los Angeles police arrived, and some media outlets who were originally attending the press conference at Fox Building also ran out and pointed at the protesters' crowd and pressed the camera shutter.

In the office upstairs, Duke put down the phone and looked coldly at the chaotic entrance of Fox Building, his face seemed very calm.

It has been confirmed that this protest rally consists of blacks and Latinos is aimed at Saving Private Ryan.

“We all made mistakes.”

Standing by the window, Pani Kelis frowned tightly, "Ignoring their protests in the media yesterday."

“The same is true for Fox.”

Although the mainstream society’s slogan to eliminate racial discrimination was so loud that everyone from other industries to Hollywood was actually consciously ignoring the voices of black people. Townsend Rossman also frowned, "Since Viacom’s CBS came at the first time, it would definitely be unrelated to Paramount Pictures."

"We should now consider how to make up for the mistakes we made." Duke said calmly.

No one is omniscient and omnipotent, and even he did not pay attention to the voices of some black organizations yesterday. Now that things have happened, how to solve them is the top priority.

A brief silence fell into the office, and after about a minute, Pani Kelis, who had rich experience in handling public relations, spoke.

"I have a suggestion," she said, "We are looking for authoritative experts in the history of World War II across the United States. Let their voices appear in the media to restore the true history of the Omaha Landing War."

Townsend Roseman nodded in approval. After all, as long as he is not a fool, he knew that there were no black people who directly compiled several combat teams in the film at that time.

"It's better to find black people," Duke added, "this is convincing and can offset the negative impact of the protests."

There is no need to worry about finding black experts to stand up. Any black people who can enter the mainstream North American society are not black and white-hearted.

"The troubles caused by Latinos will not be very large, their own composition will be very complicated." Pany Kellis solemnly said to Duke. "Even if black authorities stand up, we will lose some of the black audience. You must be mentally prepared."

Behind every black protest, there are always chain reactions, big or small. Duke has lived on this land for more than 20 years, so he naturally understands this.

"I originally thought that Save Private Ryan's first week would hit the record for "Day"."

Shaking his head, Townsend Roseman said with regret, "If some black people really boycott this video, it would be impossible to hit the record."

He looked at Pani Kellis, "Fox will cooperate with you!"

Now the common interests of both sides are far too different. Naturally, they will stand together.

"Townsen, we can't just deal with it passively."

It is not Duke's style of doing things, "We also have to create some negative impacts for "Brave Heart". At least some of the energy of caa, Paramount and Mel Gibson. Haven't you got some information about Mel Gibson's father? You can let the tabloids be released and hype it up!"

"I will contact the group company later."

Protesting that "Save Private Ryan" denies the contribution of black people during World War II. It was spread as quickly as possible through the rendering of CBS and other media, which affected the ticket purchase choices of some black audiences to a certain extent. Fortunately, the three producers and the mainstream media led by the three major newspapers have basically ignored the voices of black people and fully praised and praised the film. In particular, the debate about whether eight people were worth saving one was worth it, gradually forming a hot topic in society.

Although mistakes have been made in response to minorities such as blacks, the video's PR work overall is still quite good.

The Los Angeles Times even put the paradox brought by "Save Private Ryan" in the prominent position on the front page headlines.

"Why save Soldier Ryan!"

This is the title of the article, which can be said to be a microcosm of the value orientation of mainstream American society.

"The sons of eight mothers are replaced by one mother's son, and eight lives are replaced by one life. At first glance, of course, it is not worth the loss. But if you think about it carefully, is the eight people only returning a life? In fact, they are using their lives to maintain the tradition of American society - the family protects the country, and the country also protects the family."

"Maybe many people have the same ideas as those of the small team members in the film - why do we use our lives to exchange for other people's lives? Do we have no mothers and brothers and sisters? We are not fighting to the death on the battlefield? Why does he have this privilege?"

"Director Duke Rosenberg must also understand these questions that the audience will have, so his intention is not to discuss the value of this case, but to tell everyone an eternal moral truth by showing such a historical rescue event - to cherish life and help others."

"The rescue team members know the warmth of the family and the value of life because of helping Ryan; and Ryan feels that he uses his own life to protect and take care of more people in need of saving and helping people. The outbreak of war is not something that can be chosen or controlled by everyone, but helping others is something that he can choose and make decisions." (To be continued...)
