Chapter 1359 Fall apart!

I was re-incarnated in prison. What surprised me was that I was imprisoned was no longer the prison I used to be. The prison was controlled by the Bureau of Investigation, but now it is a fortress in the suburbs of the north of Los Angeles. It is true that it is a fortress, because this place was originally a military prison.

This made me wonder. Why did I change to prison?

My doubts were quickly answered. Not long after I entered the prison, the warden of this prison came to my room to visit me. God blessed, this guy is a big fan of me and likes every movie I have very much, so he has no reservations about me and told me everything he knows.

At the beginning, the court had to invite the Bureau of Investigation because the National Security Bureau and the Anti-Black Bureau were involved in this case, and the Los Angeles police system was not available, so it was forced to invite the Bureau of Investigation. During this period, the Bureau of Investigation was very comfortable with me, and Roosevelt and the others knew about this, but they had no choice.

After this trial, we fell into a serious blow, which made Roosevelt and the others find a reason. Joseph: Respond to the court that, given that my current identity is very special, in order to prevent some unnecessary things from happening, I should be handed over to a military prison for detention.

Some unnecessary things that Joseph mentioned meant that my trial might arouse public anger. When the people caused trouble, it would be difficult to guarantee that the prison where I was originally detained. On the other hand, it was also Joseph and historians' real purpose, to completely isolate me, because they knew that if I stayed in that prison, they could maintain close contact with DreamWorks through the Investigation Bureau. This was obviously not what they wanted to see.

His request was finally approved after discussion by the judge and the jury. In this way, I moved from the prison in the investigation department to this place.

To be honest, it is not particularly important for me to stay in some places. I basically can't put in much effort in this matter now, I can only see Coolidge and the others.

However, I had some requirements, such as having to watch TV and listen to the radio and read newspapers, so that I could know the news outside. I thought I would definitely not be allowed here, but I didn't expect that after I asked, the warden quickly agreed, not only brought me a brand new TV, but also got me three radios.

"Mr. Corleon, I have always trusted you. Although everyone is not God and everyone makes small mistakes, I think the United States needs people like you. At least I have not yet seen someone holy than you! Many people outside hope that you are fine, hope that you can make surprises, and hope that you can make movies for us to watch. The United States without you is dark, and the world without you is dark!" I was very moved by what the warden said to me.

That's it. I stayed in prison honestly and could no longer meet Coolidge and the others. I could only rely on TV, radio and paper media to understand the changes in the outside world.

The changes outside are indeed very violent, and they are simply described as turning over.

The first shocking news I saw was that the Morgan Consortium decided to invest 20 yuan in Leidianhua Film Company. This money will undoubtedly greatly enhance the competitiveness of Leidianhua Film Company. After making this decision, Morgan Consortium told the media that the 20 yuan was just the first investment. In the next year, the Morgan Consortium will invest 80 yuan. This money is not just invested in Leidianhua Land. Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia and other film companies will receive such investments. At the same time, the Morgan Consortium also claimed to the media that the Morgan Consortium has launched a special film fund. The total amount of this fund will be "invested to those film companies that want to be good friends with us. And for our friends, the Morgan Consortium has never been stingy."

The intention of Morgan's consortium is very clear. That is, other film companies in Hollywood suggest that there are many benefits to working with them. But if they don't work with them, Paramount is a role model. At that time, there will naturally be non-US investigation committees and radio and film bureaus to find trouble.

With both soft and hard work as well as this, it is estimated that few film companies can withstand it.

What's even more terrible is that other consortiums, except for the Morgan Consortium, seem to be a little ready to move.

After the Morgan Consortium, news came from DuPont Consortium. DuPont Consortium invested $300 million to star film companies, and then occupied 80% of the star film companies in one fell swoop, making the film company a subsidiary of DuPont Consortium.

Celebrity film companies are just one of the weakest among major Hollywood film companies. The century-old assets of this film company are less than 100 million US dollars, but DuPont consortium uses 300 million US dollars to sell 80% of the other party's shares. The intention is very clear, that is, he has seen that this is the best time to take action against Hollywood. If he missed this time, it would be difficult to acquire Hollywood film companies.

For the bosses of the film company, each of them is a money tree. They naturally do a great job of making money.

And this is not the last bad news. DuPont Consortium and Morgan Finance

The work finally made the big players in the Wall Street Consortium no longer able to help the guys fear that they would be too late to take action and be forced to be forced to the opponent, so they attacked Hollywood one after another.

Major consortiums have brought huge sums of money to knock the leaders of those film companies out of their minds. Isn’t your film company worth 100 million? OK, I’ll give you one billion, and you sell me 60% of the shares. Are you okay? Are you not moved? OK, then I will invest 200 million yuan every year to build you into a major Hollywood film company?

If you are the boss of a film company, will you be moved by such conditions?

Of course, it will! And even if you have a heart, you will throw your armor in the face of such a huge temptation. Especially the bosses of many Hollywood film companies are more concerned about money, and most of them really don’t pursue art.

As a result, Hollywood immediately began to lose its city and land, and the originally solid fortress began to fall.

The Chicago Consortium, Mellon Consortium, Texas Consortium, etc., all of them used gold bricks to knock on the door of Hollywood Film Company. Under the crazy attack of these giants, Hollywood had no power to fight back.

The situation I was most worried about finally came! This made me heart-wrenching!

I have been worried about this situation since the first day I joined Hollywood. Over the years, I have been most afraid of this. What I am most afraid of is that the Wall Street consortium flocks to the ground. Faced with the attacks of these financial tycoons, Hollywood film companies can hardly fight back. Once Hollywood is mastered by them, it will completely become a place filled with money and alcohol as in the next generation.

Over the years, I have been working so hard and persisting, and have been going through the bumpy road, in order to avoid such a situation and to prevent such a thing from happening in Hollywood.

But now, God seems to be joking with me. No matter how hard I try, such a thing has happened.

When I saw those big-bellied chaebols standing with the bosses of the film company on TV, those bosses turned and bowed respectfully, I felt very heartbroken.

This is the Hollywood I want? This is the Hollywood I strive for? Could it be that my years of struggle have resulted in such a result!?

My heart hurts very much, but I can't help it!

This is reality! Bloody and cruel reality!

Unfortunately news came one by one. Frontier Film Company was acquired by the Chicago Consortium for 150 million yuan and replaced by the party. After Kepi Film Company was acquired by the Mellon Consortium for 2 yuan, it began to merge and reorganize with relevant institutions under the Mellon Consortium.

As a result, Hollywood was unified in a unified way a few months ago. At that time, all Hollywood film companies came together and achieved an unprecedented alliance. Many filmmakers were excited about this alliance because such alliances have never appeared in Hollywood's history.

At that time, I was happy. I never felt at ease with Hollywood like that. I never had confidence in Hollywood like that. I never felt that I was as close to success as I felt that I was. I even felt that I had completely succeeded in maintaining my career in Hollywood!

But in just a few months, very short, this great situation will never come back! It’s like an illusion! A dream!

The original unified film alliance, Thunderbolt Hua Film Company, Columbia Film Company, Warner Bros. Film Company, and 2George Fox Film Company first rebelled, and then the celebrity film company, Kepi Film Company, and Frontier Film Company were acquired. Now, the only film companies left in Hollywood that are hard-working are DreamWorks, Universal Film Company, Crescent Film Company, MGM and Paramount!

Among these five film companies, the businesses of Universal Film and Crescent Film have basically stopped. MGM and Paramount, two super companies that were originally ranked first in Hollywood, have no current status compared to before. As long as these two companies have any actions, Hollywood will definitely have earthquakes, and few companies dare to compete with them. But now, even the Kepi Film Company or celebrity film company that they had never looked down on before can challenge them!

And in the registration of the film companies divided by Hollywood last year, MGM and Kepi are two levels apart!

But now, it has been completely turned upside down. On the one hand, MGM and Paramount have greatly reduced their strength due to the suppression of the non-US investigation committee and the Broadcasting and Film Bureau. The film has not been made in any decent film this year, and have suffered huge losses and are now unable to start construction. In Hollywood, if a film company does not start shooting, it will not be long before it goes bankrupt.

On the other hand, while the two former giants, MGM and Paramount, suffered heavy losses, other film companies have increased their strength significantly while receiving strong funds from Wall Street. This gap is obvious when one rises and the other falls.

As for DreamWorks, because of my affairs, I can't raise my head at all. The company has no intention of making movies at all. Everyone has a wish, that is, they can see me out as soon as possible. As long as I come out, they will feel hopeful.

In fact, this is not just the idea of ​​DreamWorks filmmakers, but probably other good ones.

The filmmaker’s idea, but the current situation is that it is impossible for me to be short-term.

So the current situation has become unprecedentedly dangerous. If you find such a situation and don’t make a turnaround within two months, I’m sure MGM and Paramount will either go bankrupt or be forced to swallow Wall Street. By then, at least three of our DreamWorks film companies will be left in the whole Hollywood.

We were like a small boat, hanging on the lake, surrounded by crocodiles. At that time, we probably had only one road, and that was the best way to close the door!

In this way, Hollywood will be born into something exactly the same in history and will completely become a money-making machine on Wall Street.

This can only show one problem, that is, all your efforts have failed over the years. I don’t want to see such a situation that I will kill.

Hollywood is completely a hell compared to the original one. The original major leagues fell apart, and many film companies have rebelled against the enemy. The Hollywood city government, which originally supported us, has been divided into two and has no original power. The Code Execution Bureau is now in name only, the non-US investigation committee and the Broadcasting and Film Bureau are now in the limelight. McCarthy is called the "Czar of Hollywood". Even the Harvey Award has to be postponed.

In other words, all the glittering things in Hollywood have basically been almost destroyed.

For us, apart from these, it is even worse. When our second brother was arrested, we lost the control of the Los Angeles Police Department, and this organization was once again occupied by Roosevelt. With the arrest of our second brother, the activities of the Burbank Party also reached a low point.

In addition, in politics, the Los Angeles city government has been completely controlled by Roosevelt. Although we have Harry Ruman in the California government, he can't do anything about it now.

In terms of economy, the Wall Street Consortium's massive offensive may treat our Lockett as an enemy at any time, and no one can guarantee that these bitchers will not unite to attack us. If that is the case, although our Lockettite has some foundation, it will definitely not be able to resist it.

Even in the media, we are beginning to feel difficult now. Although we still own Lockettke TV and a group of radio, newspapers and magazines, looking at the United States, 80% of other media are controlled by the Democratic Party, and the entire public opinion propaganda has begun to make DreamWorks unable to do so.

The most important thing is in the court. There has been a great disadvantage in my trial. This time, it depends on how the court decides it. If Yili’s statement is determined, then basically my crime will be certain.

Once I am charged, waiting for me will be in prison. Once I go to jail, the great situation in Hollywood will always be history, and everything will be in vain. Even the Lockettrek consortium is probably in danger.

That will be the darkest time!

God, I think my world has begun to collapse.

I began to pray, pray to God all day long, praying that He could help us get out of our predicament and get out of this haze.

But the result of my prayer was bad news.

The original trial was scheduled to be held in three days, but on the third day, I did not go to the trial. The news given by the court seemed to have been withdrawn.

As for why it was postponed, I soon saw related reports on TV. The reason is very simple. There are now huge differences in the court based on Yili's previous statement.

This special trial played a decisive role in the end, obviously two major institutions. The first one was of course the judges. Among the eight people from the Supreme Court, seven officials were favored by the Democratic Party. The only senior official Anthony Connor who had a good relationship with us could only barely suppress the other seven people. However, this situation was only in court. When the final opinion was expressed after the trial, it was voting. This was extremely unfavorable for Anthony Connor.

In addition, another decisive institution is the jury. The hundreds of people in the jury also hold the right to judge.

Regarding Eli's testimony that day, the jury and the judges held a heated discussion after the trial. The discussion of the jury was the most complicated, with hundreds of people disagreeing. After arguing, some people stood on Joseph's side, believing that Eli's words had legal effect and that the case could end here. Others agreed with Coolidge's opinion, believing that Eli's testimony was problematic and that I could not be convicted because of this.

The result was that the two sides were stalemate and there was no result.

In this way, the opinions of the judges' team are very important. Although there are only eight members in the judges' team, the accumulation of debate is no less than that of the jury.

And this time, it was a big deal.

Yesterday, a book friend told me, Xiao Zhang, these chapters are a bit depressing.

Haha, is this a process?

After the storm, there will always be a rainbow.
Chapter completed!
