Chapter 1103 Charlie Wilson's War

Entering June, good news came one after another.

There has been a breakthrough in the acquisition of Victoria's Secret, and the two parties have reached consensus on many aspects. If nothing else, within this year, "Victoria's Secret" will become the underwear brand of New Universal.

In terms of games, the online game "World of Warcraft" launched by Blizzard has become a game of the times and is popular in the European and American markets. Now, Blizzard is working actively and will push this game to Asia.

In terms of hardware, Dolby Laboratories has broken through Blu-ray technology and can develop its own "Dolby HD DVD player". Next, as long as the product design is completed and the wiring of the processing factory is completed, you can wait for Sony's Blu-ray disc to come out and speculate to make money.

In terms of interaction, the registered users of Facebook exceeded 10 million, and Zuckerberg has already applied to purchase more servers to cope with the rapid growth of a large number of users.

In terms of music, Michael Jackson has completed all follow-up signings with Universal Music, and has officially become a music artist under Universal Music.

TV recordings and Discovery Communication Channel continued to maintain high-speed growth with their heads held high. When the STA TV network market is approaching saturation and the growth rate is slowing down, the Discovery Channel has become the biggest surprise of the TV Media Department.

In terms of movies, the global box office of "Iron Man" reached 740 million U.S. dollars. Although under the impact of the strong summer movies, the popularity of the film dropped sharply within a month of its release, but such box office results are already surprising enough. At least the market has proved that Robert Downey Jr. is the right person to play the role of "Iron Man"!

Next, another big production of New Universal will be released soon - "The Da Vinci Code"!

The film will be released on June 10.

The film's premiere was held in France, and Twain did not attend.

However, on the weekend night of June 5th, Twain held a Hollywood social reception at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel, and invited Tom Hanks, the star of "The Da Vinci Code".

Well, in Hollywood, this kind of activity is indispensable every weekend.

Some are formal and some are informal. There are healthy ones and some unhealthy ones.

The invitation issued by Tang En in his own name must be a very formal and healthy reception. The guests attending the meeting included not only big Hollywood stars, but also representatives from the White House, the military and the CIA.

In the past few years, Tang En devoted himself to developing the industry, made a fortune silently, and had little contact with the government.

With the listing of New Global, as well as the increasing wealth and industry, building a good relationship with the power department is a problem he must face.

Although he is very bad at it.

The White House was represented by Ms. Mary Sturridge, communications assistant in the press office. The military was represented by Major Nathan Wilson. The CIA representative is an old friend, Agent Nick Kyle.

With such a big battle, it is conceivable that this will be another important cooperation between the official and Hollywood!

Tang En pulled Tom Hanks to receive these important officials together.

Tom Hanks is more than just an actor.

He has a relationship with the Lincoln family, and he is also awe-inspiring in Hollywood. He is a member of the Oscar Organizing Committee, a producer, and has his own film company.

More importantly, he has played many military characters!

For example, the commander who would never die in "Apollo 13", the Vietnam War hero in "Forrest Gump", the Army Ranger captain in "Saving Private Ryan", and... "Band of Brothers"!

This kind of military film must have the participation of the military.

Tom Hanks has acted in so many military movies and had a lot of dealings with the Pentagon.

Major Wilson was obviously familiar with him, and said with a hearty smile, "Big Tom, I want to tell you good news, absolutely good news!"

Tom Hanks smiled and shook hands with him, "What's the matter?"

Major Wilson said mysteriously: "The military wants to commend you for shaping the role of positive American soldiers over the past few years. It is said...you will become an honorary member of the US Army Commando Hall of Fame! The above is reviewing, but the current situation Let's see...it's not a big problem!"

Honorary Soldier of Army Commando Hall of Fame!

This is much brighter than Tang En's title of "California Honor Police"!

Although it is still under review, as Major Wilson said, the Army Staff Council is likely to make a special approval for this!

Times make heroes!

The current situation in the United States is likely to really add this halo to Tom Hanks.

The Iraq War is over.

However, mass weapons were not found!

Whether it is internationally or domestically, this war is full of controversies, verbal criticism!

Both the White House and the military are under tremendous pressure for this.

During the second term of the Bush administration, restoring the economy and changing international public opinion allowed the government and military to not only lead the world in strength, but also to flaunt the world morally.

The best partner, of course, is Hollywood!

Hollywood is the most influential propaganda agency in the world.

There are many honorary members of the US Army Commando Hall of Fame, from all walks of life, Hollywood does not currently have it!

If Tom Hanks gets the go-ahead, he'll be the first person in Hollywood to do so.

"Really? This is too surprising... too surprising!" Tom Hanks was quite flattered.

Tang En smiled, "Tom, he also has prerequisites."

"What conditions?"

Tom Hanks is obviously very interested in this, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, he will agree.

Tang En glanced at the official spokesperson standing beside him holding a wine glass, and said, "The federal government, the military, and the CIA will cooperate with Universal Pictures to make a... a historical biographical film about the international situation."

Movies are the soul of Hollywood!

This is also the reason why the official will take the initiative to find Hollywood.

With so many film companies in Hollywood, and the three powerful departments mobilizing collectively, they will definitely choose the best partner, the current king of Hollywood movies-New Universal.

It just so happens that Universal Pictures has cooperated very closely with officials in the past few years.

"Make a movie?" Tom Hanks suddenly realized, "Do you want me to be the protagonist? A war movie?"

There is no doubt about it.

Among all the actors in Hollywood, Tom Hanks has the most drama temperament. He has never acted as a villain, and he has the most positive image!

Tang En said, "Tom, do you know Charlie Wilson?"

Tom Hanks shook his head.

Tang En explained: "Charlie Wilson is a retired Navy, and later became a member of Congress in politics, but his private life was not good, and he once had a bad reputation. However, he left a strong mark in American history. In the early 1980s , the Soviet Union sent troops to invade Afghanistan. At that time, Afghanistan became the most dilapidated country in the world, and the Afghan people suffered from tragic war attacks. Charlie Wilson believed that the United States, as the world's policeman, should respond as soon as possible to help Afghanistan out of its predicament. However , It was the time of the Cold War, the Soviet Union’s military strength was extremely powerful, but the United States had not recovered from the pain of the Vietnam War, and thought that it was not the Soviet Union’s opponent.”

At this time, Ms. Mary Sturridge from the White House Press Office spoke. She felt that Tang En's statement was not accurate enough, and she quickly described the story of the year.

"Charlie is a good man with a sense of justice. He petitioned the White House and Congress, and the answer was that the country cannot be mired in another war just after the Vietnam War. The United States sympathizes with what is going on in Afghanistan, but only through the United Nations. If Really want to help Afghanistan, Charlie can only do it personally."

"Since then, Charlie began to really pay attention to the war in Afghanistan, and with the secret help of the military, he got a lot of intelligence on the battlefield in Afghanistan. He accurately found the entry point of the Islamic guerrillas. He thinks This guerrilla team can do more."

"He formed a small team with his lover, Joanne Hai Rui, and CIA agent Geist Efrakotos, and began to campaign for peace in Afghanistan. They went to England, France, Egypt, Israel , even Pakistan and Iran. They are lobbying all sides and democrats for donations and funding.”

"It was a dangerous and great project. But they did it, and they achieved very remarkable results. They provide anywhere from $5 million to $1 billion a year for various anti-Soviet covert operations. The Soviet Union The biggest contributor to the army’s final withdrawal from Afghanistan. When Pakistan’s President Chiahake was asked how Afghanistan, a poor and weak country, was able to resist the invasion of the Soviet Union, the world’s largest military power at that time, Kiahake’s answer was— — 'Charlie Wilson'."

After Ms. Mary Sturridge finished speaking, Major Wilson shrugged and said, "It's a great story, but the Pentagon's support behind it is the root cause."

This is very much in line with American style.

Many things that are not suitable for the government to come forward will be acted in the name of individuals, such as the Flying Tigers that aided China during the Anti-Japanese War.

However, how could there be no official approval behind this?

This kind of thing must have direct contact with the military.

It is precisely because of this that the movie story can be more full of positive energy.

Charlie Wilson in the open.

The federal government, the military, and the CIA are secretly helping.

They have a common purpose, which is to help Afghanistan free from the Soviet invasion.

This is the most mainstream American value of democracy and freedom, punishing evil and promoting good.

It is also the most beneficial whitewash for this Iraq war.

Iraq that is pro-Russian is evil, while Iraq controlled by the United States is just.

This is the core of the movie extension to express.

This will very well reverse the unfavorable international image of the US government and the US military.

In the movie, the federal government, the military, and the CIA all appear, all with positive images! Together with Charlie Wilson, the Three Departments saved Afghanistan.

This is the true meaning that the three powerful departments will seek Hollywood to cooperate with this film.

Tom Hanks pondered for a while, "What's the name of the movie?"

Tang En said with a smile: ""Charlie Wilson's War"."
