Chapter 2034 Producer Xiao Li’s Notebook

You lost Jason, tell me quickly, what work are you going to arrange for me? Let me tell you first, I don’t act, I need to find the status for my next role! "

Yang Cheng laughed evilly, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with the entertainment industry~"

"what exactly is it?"

“Remember the hotel resort we invested in Hawaii?”

Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment and nodded repeatedly, "Of course, this is my biggest investment~"

"The entire construction project of the hotel is about to be completed and it will be fully operational soon. Do you want to be a sleep tester?"

"Trying to sleep? Just finding faults? I like this job~"

“Remember to send more photos~”

Xiao Lizi understood immediately, wasn't this asking him to advertise for free? However, you must do your best to advertise your hotel~

"I'll leave tomorrow~"

Xiao Lizi likes this kind of weird and weird things, and is constantly caught off guard with excitement.

Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "You came to me really just to see me? Is there anything else?"

DiCaprio paused and smiled, "If I have to say it, there is one thing. Clint Eastwood, you know, right?"

Yang Cheng nodded, "Of course, the old man is quite capable~"

"That's good. He brought me a new notebook. The notebook only has an outline, but I think this is a project worth investing in, so I decided to bring you along."

Yang Cheng was speechless, "I knew you couldn't come to see me for no reason~"

"These words are so hurtful~" Xiao Lizi pretended to cry, and the disgusted Yang Cheng almost vomited out all the food he had eaten for the day.

"Let's get down to business~"

"Well, the old man is filming the project "The Mule", which is almost finished. He doesn't need to keep an eye on the post-production, so he has already transferred his energy to the next project, which is the book I said I just completed the outline of."

Yang Cheng thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, the old man is 87 this year, right? Such work efficiency~"

The sunglasses king should really learn from it!

"Yes,

He's not young, but don't worry, the old man is in good health, and this book is based on real events, called "The Lament of Richard Jewell."

The story is adapted from a 1997 Vanity Fair magazine article of the same name, telling the story of Richard Jewell, a security guard at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics who discovered a bomb in the Olympic Park and prevented the tragedy, but was wrongly accused a few days later. story. "

Yang Cheng frowned, "Real-life incident? Biographical movie?"

"It's not a pure biography, it must be artistically processed, and the balance between reality and fiction must be achieved as much as possible. Richard's transformation from a hero to a suspect to his exoneration is very dramatic and conflicting!

Moreover, the old man arranged for people to conduct a large number of meticulous investigations to ensure that the truth of the year could be restored to the greatest extent. "

Yang Cheng carefully searched the memories in his mind, Atlanta Olympic bombing? He remembers!

The bombing occurred at Centennial Olympic Park, the centerpiece of Atlanta's Olympic celebrations.

On the evening of July 27, 1996, thousands of people gathered to enjoy a midnight concert. Richard, who was working as a security guard at the Olympics, discovered a green backpack under a bench after midnight, which contained a pipe bomb.

He immediately notified the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Along with other security guards, he began clearing the area around the bomb, waiting for the bomb squad to defuse it.

Thirteen minutes later, the bomb exploded, killing a mother. Another victim was a Turkish photographer. He died of a heart attack while rushing to the explosion site. However, although more than 100 people were injured, Richard De's actions saved more lives.

He was initially hailed as a hero for discovering the bomb and escorting many spectators to safety. Three days later, his hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, broke the news about the FBI in an article titled "FBI Suspects Hero Guard May Have Planted the Bomb." .”

CNN, the Associated Press, and other news outlets reported the news verbatim, quickly spreading around the world, and people's perceptions of Richard changed.

The article claimed that Richard fit the profile of a criminal and they described him as a failed law enforcement officer who planted the bomb so that he could discover it and play the hero.

They attempted to incorporate aspects of his life into a criminal profile, although it was later discovered that no such profile existed in the FBI's database at the time and that the profile was designed to fit Richard.

The article also compared him to a convicted child murderer, and other media outlets made similar attacks, with the New York Post calling him "a fat, failed former sheriff's deputy."

Overnight he went from hero to suspect, and although he was never arrested or charged, the F~B~I raided Richard's home twice while the media watched. His past was also investigated, his acquaintances were questioned, and he was placed under 24-hour surveillance.

Even Richard's friends took the opportunity of eating lasagna to discuss the explosion until late at night. It was not until later that Richard learned that his friend was wearing a bug in order to find out his secrets and expose them to the media in exchange for rewards. gold.

During that time, Richard lived with his mother, who was recovering from foot surgery.

However, because his son inadvertently stirred up the storm, the news media stationed outside his current apartment used all the tools at their disposal, including zoom lenses and radio equipment, to try to capture the conversation from inside the apartment.

Initially, after someone posted his mother's home phone number online, the apartment received about 1,000 calls a day.

Even though the case had been going on for a long time, and even if he had never been prosecuted, the long-term media damage to his reputation was fatal. As soon as he walked into the store, people would whisper and stare at him.

He lived hard with such pressure until 2007, and finally died young. His mother believed that his death was entirely caused by depression.

In fact, as early as 7 years after the bombing, the real attacker Eric Rudolph was captured. Shortly after the Atlanta Olympic bombing, Rudolph bombed two locations in Georgia and a home in Birmingham, Alabama. clinic, the latter claimed the lives of a Birmingham police officer and a part-time clinic security guard.

After an F~B~I hunt, Rudolph was finally apprehended in 2003 while rummaging through a dumpster at a rural grocery store in Murphy, North Carolina.

After he was acquitted, Richard also tried to sue the media that had slandered him, but the lawsuit continued until his death with no results.

By the way, the New York Times is also on the list of people being sued.

And now Leonardo DiCaprio comes to the boss of The New York Times for investment with a script about real people’s deeds. This is a huge irony!
