"Is there anyone in the group led by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce who has not dealt with them since the founding of the association?"
"Seems so?" Spielberg scratched his head.
"As you told me before, they have damaged the interests of some local people since they broke into the United States.
These people find that some people do the same work as them, do not complain and pursue human rights, but just work blindly. The capitalists like them more and more, which makes the locals lose their jobs gradually.
So "excluding" them has become a consensus for a long time and has been recognized by many locals. "
The great development of the United States a hundred years ago, in addition to relying on the early development of native Indians.
Chinese workers play an important role in helping this country build itself into an industrialized country step by step.
From Washington to New York, from the west coast to New Jersey, countless sea crossing bridges were connected by the first generation of Chinese workers who came to San Francisco to search for gold later.
Unfortunately, Americans do not want the efforts of these Chinese workers to be known to their future generations, so they try to cover up.
But it was at that time that the exclusion of Chinese workers also led to the later United States becoming one of the most serious places of racial discrimination in the world. Chinese Americans were completely reduced to "Dalits" under blacks.
Spielberg's answer also made Li Xianzhe nod, which proved that he had at least remembered what he said.
If he directed such films in the future, these contents will also help him judge from a more fair and objective point of view.
Thinking of this, he decided to further guide each other.
"So who do you think is the most troublesome person for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce now?"
"Seems to be one of the five families of the American Mafia?"
Spielberg frowned at the cableway.
"Before that, situ Lang told me that these people have been trying to get involved in the business in Chinatown. Huaxia chamber of commerce is the threshold they can't get around anyway. There have been a lot of conflicts between the two sides because of their interests."
"In other words, the contradiction between them has reached an irreconcilable level?"
"Almost. In private, the person in charge told me that recently, people in the Gambino family often make trouble in the places they control. Even the local police dare not take care of it. As long as there is no human life, it is basically turning a blind eye."
"Do you know why the people of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce have nothing to do with the Gambino family? They have money and business all over the United States and even overseas.
The Gambino family has experienced the changes of the times. Now the number of members has been reduced to more than 100. It is reasonable to say that it is not the opponent of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, is it? "
"Because they still abide by the rules set by previous people and do not participate in political activities.
Even making friends with local politicians is limited to education, charity, medical care and improving the living environment of Chinese Americans. "
Here, Spielberg carefully recalled what he said and vaguely understood what he said.
Seeing his reaction, Li Xianzhe nodded and shook his head, and said directly.
"In fact, the people of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, as early as their development, waded bit by bit into the muddy water of local politics.
In my opinion, the so-called political election is just an ultimate goal in the field of political activities.
As you said before, facing education, health care, charity and even helping to improve the immigration problem, to some extent, it is already related to politics.
Maybe the people of Huaxia chamber of Commerce know, maybe they just break it directly because of their face.
Because they don't take the initiative to break the ostensible rules, they can't directly turn to those politicians.
Because once you ask for help, you must pay an equal price. "
After all, Americans are not like Chinese. Even if times change, some credit, righteousness and Jianghu rules are still useful.
Americans attach great importance to interests, which is completely different from Chinese people who often put human feelings in the first place.
"So... Steven... Think about it... If... We shoot a story of the situ family in the United States, set during the San Francisco gold rush, and tell about the inhuman treatment of Chinese workers because of enterprises controlled by the Mafia.
They had to turn to the predecessor of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which eventually evolved into a history of working together in the United States and China. They gave the legitimacy and sympathy of the existence of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce on the side, and pushed them out of Chinatown on the side. What do you think the situ family would think? "
"Of course I'm happy."
Spielberg said without thinking, "although they control the general channels of American exports to China, their popularity and recognition are too low in the eyes of Americans.
Especially for the conflict with the Gambino family, few locals stand on their side every time the news is reported.
It is also impossible for the police in the United States to disclose the causes and process of the conflict between them. In addition, Chinese Americans have always been discriminated against in the United States, and their treatment is often lower than that of blacks.
If more people know their legitimacy and the public's sympathy for them, maybe Huaxia chamber of commerce can get out of Chinatown... "
Spielberg said, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then he looked at Li Xianzhe's line of sight. He felt that the whole person's mind was much broader.
However, a very realistic problem was also put in front of him.
"Lee, your idea is perfect, but the script..."
In this regard, Li Xianzhe smiled. He could say so many ideas. Of course, he would think about the script together.
"I'll solve the script. You should contact the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible and tell him what we talked about."
"No, I'll contact him now. Lee, you wait for me here now. I'll call right away."
As if afraid that Li Xianzhe would suddenly disappear, Spielberg directly threw the medicine in his hand to the other party, got up, touched his mobile phone and rushed out.
It is very impolite to make a phone call in the hospital, both inside and outside the ward.
Although Spielberg could not hide his excitement, he did not lose his mind.
For Li Xianzhe's story organization and script writing ability, he learned it with Cameron a few years ago.
Many of the loopholes not found in the movie scripts created by the two people themselves were quickly found by him after browsing every time, and they were so justified that they were happy to accept them.
New York, Chinatown.
As the most famous first city in the United States, the size and population of Chinatown here are unmatched by those of other cities.
Generally speaking, if a group of Chinese tourists arrive in New York, the most important place to miss is Chinatown.
Whether their tour guide is an Asian Chinese with American nationality or a native.
As if this area, for people from China, is born with fatal attraction.
Here, you can always see the scenes of "villagers and villagers" staged around you all the time.
Entering Chinatown, when tourists pass through the core area, they will see a three story attic in ancient Chinese style.
The plaque in front of the door reads "Huaxia chamber of Commerce", which is the headquarters of Huaxia chamber of Commerce in the United States.
