The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 496 Catfish Spirit and Black Snow Princess
For communications satellites, satellite manufacturing is the foundation, and launch vehicles are the key.

Lucat said to Hawke, "We asked NASA, and the orders for launch vehicles are scheduled until the end of 2009. Even if we jump the queue, we have to wait until we have a satellite."

Satellites and launch vehicles are indispensable. Hawke thought for a moment and asked, "How is the negotiation between Musk's Space Exploration Company and NASA going?"

“There’s progress, but it’s going to take something for space exploration to impress NASA,” Lucat said.

With Twitter's financial resources and network of contacts, it wouldn't be too difficult to cut in line at NASA.

But customizing a satellite and finding NASA to jump the queue both take time.

Hawke suddenly thought of one thing. NASA's headquarters is in Houston, and Houston is in Texas.

Texas is the core base of the George Walker family.

Maybe we can talk to the White House.

Hawke certainly won't do good things for free. It also depends on the situation of Musk and Surrey Satellite Company.

Lucat continues to coordinate this work.

Hawke convened a meeting of core personnel from the Technical Department and the Communications Department to determine the required satellite functions.

Encrypted communication and remote signal control are his most basic needs.

In the future, it will definitely have to have certain detection capabilities so that it can cooperate with private security companies to conduct military operations in some areas.

Especially with drones.

The small drones on the other side of the Pacific Ocean can definitely be made at a very low price.

Hawke remembered that in the previous Russia-Ukraine war, drone materials such as carbon tubes and fiberglass were strictly controlled, and some manufacturers there simply used paper materials instead.

The special honeycomb corrugated paper structure, painted with professional paint, is cheaper to produce and is also very effective when used on suicide drones.

Paper airplane bombing has become a reality.

After the meeting, Steve Nutter called and said that Robert Iger would bring Disney's creative staff to visit the Minority Rights Association tomorrow.

The next morning, Hawke went directly to the Rights Protection Association's headquarters in Covina.

Robert Iger and a group from Disney have arrived and are looking at various promotional posters and brochures related to the LGBTQ movement.

At this time, the rights protection association has become the spokesperson for all LGBTQ groups in the United States.

Steve Nutter became their spiritual leader.

This movement swept across the United States, gaining increasing momentum and influencing Hollywood's film and television productions.

In today's world of well-developed online media, many Hollywood film companies have begun to use media and Internet data to intervene in their film and television productions, especially to keep pace with social development.

Many of them have been successful.

Europe and the United States are very good at this. After all, they have been continuously suppressing the cultural confidence of other parts of the world for many years.

After the visit, the three parties went to a conference room and started a discussion.

Robert Iger reiterated the topic of his last participation in the governor's inauguration ceremony, saying: "Disney has been supporting the equal rights movement for many years. The content and style of its film and television works will also move closer to supporting minority marginalized groups in the future. We will put in practical resources and measures to cooperate with the rights protection association."

Another person followed up: "We will take out 5% of the profits from the North American box office of each movie and donate it to the rights protection association for the development of the LGBTQ movement."

The number of Hollywood movies that can recoup their profits solely through North American box office is negligible.

Hawke made no comment.

Steve Nutt didn't respond either.

Walt Disney wants the buzz and influence of the rights protection association and the LGBTQ movement without having to pay for it.

The so-called North American box office profits are nothing different from air.

Robert Iger added: "Disney's Touchstone Pictures has decided to invest in the Philip project and is currently negotiating with the crew."

He focused on introducing a middle-aged white man with glasses: "This is John Lasseter, the director and producer of the Toy Story series, the chief creative executive of Pixar Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios. Disney Animation initiated the film project of Rapunzel, the long-haired princess, and John is the producer."

Hawke nodded to John Lasseter: "Toy Story is a classic."

"Thank you." John Lasseter said with a smile: "Disney is going to add some elements that are in line with modern society when adapting Tangled this time."

Although Disney Animation Studios has declined, Disney acquired Pixar, which is now the golden signboard of animated films.

Steve glanced at Hawke, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he continued, "Are you planning to add LGBTQ elements to this film?"

John Lasseter was not interested in these things before, but last year, he was reported by several female employees who were about to be fired from the studio, claiming that he had engaged in sexual harassment in his daily work.

This Pixar veteran put up several million dollars, and with the support of Disney, it was only then that the film was suppressed.

All he has towards women's rights is aversion, and the LGBTQ movement, the mortal enemy of women's rights, naturally receives his support.

John Lasseter even learned a lesson from it, claiming to be a psycho female if that shit takes it to heart.

It's just magic, who doesn't know it?
John Lasseter said seriously: "You are the most professional in this area, so we came here this time to ask you for some advice in this regard."

Steve smiled and said, "No problem, I can provide all the help here."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement that a dedicated person would liaise with the Rapunzel crew to ensure rights protection.

Disney is also good at creating monsters and ghosts, so the two sides hit it off immediately.

Hollywood promotes these at the highest level of professionalism.

Where are there many androgynous monsters? Hollywood actors are definitely one of them.

Many people who are not weird at first will become abnormal after entering Hollywood.

The casting director you meet today likes women, the big director you meet next time may like men, the producer after that may like someone who is neither male nor female, and some big guys may like to have sex with a group of men and women at the same time.

Without a family background like the Ellison brothers and sisters, if you want to climb up, even if you are Spielberg's goddaughter, there is only one way - sleep your way up.

If you sleep, you may have a chance to climb up; if you don’t sleep, you won’t even have a chance.

The mortise and tenon structure can be said to be the most basic condition for the development of Hollywood.

Steve, Hawke, Robert Iger, and John Lasseter talked about movies together.

Hawke thought of the super masterpieces of Walt Disney in his previous life and decided to give it a push to make Hollywood develop faster.

Of course, it is the speed of development in a divergent direction.

He specifically said: "In fact, Disney can do more with fairy tale movies, such as diversifying the minor characters in fairy tale movies, making traditional classic Disney animated movies live-action, and making changes that are in line with social trends."

Robert Egger already knew that the two successful films, "Nightcrawler" and "Los Angeles Fire", all came from Hawke's promotion.

This big boss in the new media industry is also behind the LGBTQ movement.

"Can you tell me about it?" Robert Egger asked.

Hawke thought about the wording and said slowly: "Take "The Little Mermaid" and "Snow White", two very successful Disney animated films. They have a huge influence. It is no exaggeration to say that they have influenced generations of Americans."

Hearing Hawke bragging about Disney, Robert Iger smiled and said, "Of course, Disney animated films are number one in the United States."

Hawke nodded slightly and continued, "There is no shortage of audiences for animated films like this. Have you ever considered making it into a live-action movie? From the perspective of an ordinary movie fan, I will definitely go to watch such a live-action fairy tale movie after it is released, but some people may not go, such as minorities, because these movies are full of white people." Robert Iger said, "Over the years, Hollywood has always paid attention to the diversity of film roles."

Hawke added: "Why can't there be a revolutionary change? Snow White can be a member of a minority group, and mermaids don't have to be white."

After these words were spoken, everyone at Disney fell silent.

After a while, Robert Iger said, "It's feasible."

John Lasseter, due to his hostility towards LGBTQ and feminism, tends to lean towards the latter. He then said: "In this way, we can both guarantee the original audience and attract minority groups. In terms of business, the market may be wider..."

Robert Iger is considering this matter seriously.

Hawke stops at the right point, and given Walt Disney's style, it would have been difficult to resist such temptation.

Learning about and being LGBTQ should start with teenagers across the United States.

Hawke wielded the hoe, wondering if he could dig up the roots of America. He had to give it a try and see what the effect would be.

More than an hour later, Disney and his team left the rights protection meeting.

Back at the company's headquarters in Burbank, Robert Iger called in Bob Chapek, who was in charge of Disney's live-action film business, and specifically talked about the live-action fairy tale film mentioned by Hawke.

Bob was very interested in this and said, "This is a good opportunity for Disney movies to lead social trends. In the past few years, we have made similar attempts on Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean and achieved great success. Perhaps we can make some similar attempts in live-action fairy tale movies."

He was very sensible: "First, replace some supporting roles that don't have a lot of screen time with diverse identities, and express the importance of the third gender or other transgender groups."

Robert Egger nodded: "You are responsible for drawing up a plan."

The other party is also a member of the board of directors. He specifically said: "Next week, I plan to propose to the board of directors to set up a diversity department in Disney so that our works can keep up with the development of society and even lead the social trend."

Bob has been in charge of the live-action film business for several years and has long developed the habit of liking both men and women, or in other words, liking both men and women. The so-called diversity not only meets his needs, but also meets the needs of the current social development.

“I’ll support you,” he said.

Robert Iger was quite satisfied. If he wanted to get full options and dividend rewards, he needed to make Disney the number one business in Hollywood.

These are very difficult, after all, the top business in Hollywood right now is Warner Bros., which owns the two ace series of DC and Harry Potter.

In addition to normal business, Robert Iger decided to think of other ways.

The annual movie box office in North America is relatively stable. In addition to the existing audience groups, if you want to improve performance, you can only expand the audience groups.

In the rights protection meeting, Hawke did not leave immediately, but chatted with Steve for a while.

The two talked about the follow-up matters.

Hawke asked, "Is Philip's lawsuit still unresolved?"

"No, the so-called out-of-court settlement is just a way to stall for time." The lawyer team was directly employed by the Rights Protection Association, and Steve was aware of the real-time dynamics there: "Before Brian took office, their attitude softened slightly, and they were considering giving tens of millions of dollars in compensation to end the situation in San Francisco."

He spread his hands and said, "The out-of-court settlement was going smoothly, but the next time we talked about it, their attitude changed."

Hawke suddenly remembered a sentence: "I am not who I will be tomorrow, and I am not who I will be the day after tomorrow."

Steve smiled and said, "They did that during that period. From my observation and speculation, San Francisco is waiting for an opportunity, perhaps the election next year. Once their allies are elected, they may force a clearing."

"You're right. If our allies in San Francisco win the election next year, we will be completely suppressed." Hawke received some news that Twitter's public relations director Hearst has been stationed in Washington for a long time, and the families or affiliated companies of many members of Congress are suppliers of the AI ​​Manhattan Project.

He said: "From what I know, San Francisco has colluded with former first lady Hillary Clinton to form an alliance of interests."

Steve was not surprised: "They made a wise choice. If they chose Guanhai, a large part of the black camp would have been torn apart by us. Guanhai's basic situation would have been in trouble, and it would have been extremely difficult to win..."

This can be said to be the impact of Hawke's actions over the years. Saint Steve's appeal among black people is extremely strong.

Steve is even more anxious than Hawke in this regard: "We can't let Hillary Clinton be elected. We must defeat her! Otherwise, women's rights will launch a crazy counterattack and we will be completely passive."

Hawke gave him a fist bump: "To achieve this, we must unite."

"Okay!" Steve knew very well that the LGBTQ community would face great pressure when the time came, given how popular it is now. "I... and the entire rights protection association will always follow your footsteps."

The two also discussed a series of related measures being introduced by the state government.

In return for being elected, Bryan mobilized several California Democratic lawmakers to reintroduce the gay marriage bill.

Currently, the Elephant Party controls the state assembly and the bill is likely to be passed.

Once the bill is passed, a second bill will be initiated into the state legislature, the Gender Diversity Act.

California will recognize 23 genders, including female-to-male, male-to-female, psychological male, psychological female, gender neutral, gender fluid, and pan-gender.

In addition, the state government will set up a diversity department at the same level as departments such as finance and public utilities to specifically deal with and promote multiculturalism.

One of the campaigns is called "Diversity into Primary and Secondary Schools".

The roots of American men must be cut off from childhood!

Hawke's foundation, along with the Matthew Sheen Institute, the Compton Foundation, the Rights Advocate, and several California lawmakers, is pushing the state legislature to pass a diversity fund proposal.

The California state treasury allocates $27 billion to these foundations each year for diversity spending, including sex reassignment surgery.

Of course, the actual expenditure would not be that much, not even one-tenth of it.

The rest, of course, serves the leaders who lead and drive this movement.

If you don't feed the mouths of those at the top, how can you cut off the roots of those below?

In the following days, the new state government introduced a number of measures to benefit its supporters.

Twitter was one of the biggest winners.

Bryan signed the California Science and Technology Development Plan, identifying the Internet, electronic information and intelligence as the focus of the next stage of development. California will vigorously support the leaders of these industries.

As a leader in the Internet and intelligence, Twitter will directly receive a total of US$28 billion in special subsidies from the California government over three years in nine major areas, including employee training, equipment upgrades, office subsidies, housing rentals, and technological innovation.

For other aspects such as tax exemptions and interest-free loans, all policies are fully implemented.

In addition, after professional review, the state government and the state legislature confirmed that AI represents the future development trend. Before the federal funding, the California government will allocate another $25 billion to promote the AI ​​Manhattan Project.

In addition to Twitter, the West Coast Environmental Technology Company, in which Hawke personally holds absolute control, has received many office and supplies orders from various departments under the state government. With the support of its allies, it has also won supplies orders for fire and police equipment in several cities including San Diego and Sacramento.

A West Coast environmental technology company submitted the California Satellite Communications Plan to the state government to build a Starlink system for California.

This plan has been pushed forward by Brian into the parliamentary review process. Once approved, it will receive a grant of billions of dollars, which will be enough to cover the initial costs of the Starlink project.

Hawke's Osmond Charitable Foundation has become one of the designated nonprofit agencies for California's homeless relief program.

Under current California law, the California government provides $50,000 per year to each homeless person.

This is certainly not given to the homeless, it includes expenses incurred by government personnel and relief agencies.

Hawke had read a report in his previous life that said when this expenditure was at its highest, each person received a grant of up to $10 per year.

As for what will happen in the middle, those who are familiar with charity operations will naturally understand.

Not to mention these companies and foundations, even the Butterfly Company will receive subsidies for security technology upgrades.

If you win the election game, the profits will be huge.
