Chapter 322 A good show

October 5th.

Twenty-six days have passed since the September 11th incident.

It was around seven o'clock this evening.

Several TV stations owned by Bloomberg, as well as AMC TV station owned by Smith Media, jointly launched a mock documentary program.

In this program, the pseudo-documentary filmmakers use various lyrical techniques.

The more than two hundred years of Manhattan's history from its birth to the present are performed to the audience in a moral kidnapping way.

At the beginning, the number of viewers was not very large.

I thought this was a documentary specially released by the TV station about Manhattan.

In the middle of the documentary, a scene that shocked and saddened countless Americans appeared.

The moment the proud Twin Towers collapsed, they reappeared on TV.

At the end of the TV show, the pseudo-documentary filmmaker directly listed rows of data.

These data include the number of permanent residents on Manhattan Island before the September 11th incident, as well as the number of permanent residents on the island after the incident.

There are also the companies that have evacuated because of this, and the number of people who have permanently left Manhattan Island because of this.

At the end of this mockumentary, the famous American dubbing master Don LaFontaine dubbed the entire mockumentary.

His lyrical and sentimental voice sounded——

"We loved this city very much. We loved its prosperity, and its prosperity was just like our country - strong and prosperous."

"But it encountered the most unforgivable violation, and those KB elements harmed it. As people who maintain the existence of this city, we did not think about saving it, but instead thought about escaping from it."

"This fact breaks my heart. Manhattan needs you. New York needs you. America needs you."

"Brave, strong, free Americans!"

In the lyrical voice of Don LaFontaine's aria, the pseudo-documentary ends.

This documentary was not very well shot.

Due to the tight schedule and urgent task, it can even be said to be very rough.

Many of the clips inside are even in black and white - using video materials from the last century.

Most of the content is edited from various clips.

The last contents are all the latest interviews and shooting scenes related to major events, which appear to be more real.

From the shooting techniques to the quality of the documentary, it can be said to be very rough.

If you give it a perfect score of ten, it would be five or six at most.

But its appearance has caused the ratings of several TV stations to rise very high.

The main key is still the majority of Americans at this time.

I am still immersed in the sadness of September 11th and have not yet come out of it.

Its appearance at this time has undoubtedly opened up the scars in many people's hearts.

The final ratings of this pseudo-documentary program from multiple TV stations were calculated as a total of 8 million viewers.

Not a lot, but not too little either.

It was replayed later at 11 o'clock.

The ratings have been greatly improved.

Multiple Bloomberg TV stations and two AMC TV channels.

Statistics show a viewership of approximately 25 million viewers.

This means that almost one in every four American households has watched this slightly crude pseudo-documentary program.

The following day.

October 6, 2001.

A large number of reporters gathered in front of the Woolworth Building (the name change application was unsuccessful).

Among these reporters are reporters from major newspapers in the United States, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, etc.

There are reporters from major TV stations and TV networks, such as NBC TV, CBS TV, ABC TV, etc.

Yesterday, news came out - at this time, many large companies want to evacuate Lower Manhattan.

A New Yorker from Texas. This year's new richest man in the world, one of the most famous celebrities in this city.

Dear Mr. Abel Smith, he was swimming against the current.

He chose to make it his own office and the headquarters of all his companies.

All moved to the "dangerous" island of Manhattan.

Move to the Woolworth Building, which is less than 800 meters away from the site of the accident.

At a time when many Wall Street giants are choosing to move out of Wall Street.

Smith Capital and Abel Smith, however, would rather take risks and choose to return to the "most dangerous place".

As soon as this news came out yesterday, it attracted the attention of media workers.

Because there were so many reporters, there were also some onlookers.

The New York Police Department has always had a very good relationship with Abel, too good to be true.

Therefore, a large number of police officers were specially dispatched to help maintain order.

Having said that, as long as it is anything related to Smith and happening in New York.

When the police are needed, these New York police officers work very hard.

Who said that since last year, Smith has always been the first on the NYPD’s charity donor list?

Let me make a digression - since the end of last year, it is said that 9 "retired" NYPD members have chosen to join Mr. Smith's Rock Security.

These former members of the NYPD have received very good preferential treatment.

For example, the salary is 50% higher than when working in New York. There are also more perfect dental insurance and other benefits than any public employee.

At least half of these "retired and resigned" personnel are low-level police officers.

so.

The NYPD has 77 branches, 12 traffic branches, 9 housing police service areas, 34,000 regular police officers, 18,000 civilian personnel, 4,000 assisting police officers, 5,000 school security personnel, and 2,300 traffic police officers.

, and 350 traffic law enforcement supervisors - they all expressed their special willingness to safeguard the personal safety and property interests of friendly citizens like Mr. Smith!

There were a large number of onlookers gathered in front of Walworth Building, as well as a large number of reporters and photographers.

This also led to the discovery of the New York police officers who appeared around the Woolworth Building today.

There are more of them than usual when the mayor comes out for inspection!

"Why are there so many police officers?"

A special correspondent for NBC Universal couldn't help but say to his photographer.

The photographer also complained: "The number of these police officers seems to be more than when the commander-in-chief came to New York."

Another reporter next to him wearing a CBS vest uniform said with a smile:

"Who in New York doesn't know the relationship between Mr. Smith and the NYPD? This situation is very normal!"

"Okay. I actually know that too," the NBC reporter said.

The CBS reporter took a look at his NBC uniform vest and couldn't help but say:

"I heard that Mr. Smith has always wanted to buy your TV station. Man, maybe you can work for him in the future."

"We would like to." The NBC reporter shrugged, "I heard that Mr. Smith only needs to buy a company. His first step in the new company is to give everyone a 10% salary increase. I also want to increase my salary, but unfortunately at present

So far it has not been realized.”

The CBS photographer would also like to say a few words. Anyway, we are all in the same industry. We meet often on weekdays, and even if we don’t know each other, we are familiar faces.

At this time, he was escorted by many New York police officers on motorcycles.

At the corner not far away, there were a large number of vehicles heading this way.

At the head was a Cadillac SUV with a New York police badge, followed by many Cadillac sedans.

The Cadillac SUV with a police badge and the license plate number "NYC-911".

Many reporters who are notorious in New York know that this is the car of New York Police Chief Clark.

Even Crick came, and the reporters became excited. Everyone was curious about whether Mr. Mayor would come.

The answer is - not coming.

In front of the motorcade, a Cadillac-modified police car with the license plate number "NYC-911" was seen slowly coming to a stop at the entrance of the Woolworth Building.
