Chapter 118: Despicable Politician (Original Script)

*Despicable Milk*—Cao Yang decided to use this title.

He began to rewrite the script. The general content was:

Milk is a successful businessman who intends to enter politics. He first runs for state senator. He is a conservative person who particularly hates gays, thinking these people are heretics.

During the campaign, there are gay demonstrations. Milk doesn't hide his contempt for these people at all and says to his assistant: "If I win the election, I'll formulate special bills to arrest all this trash. These people should be swept into the dustbin of history."

However, the result of this election is that Milk fails.

This makes him very angry, so he finds his lover to vent, and then finds a large number of beauties to hold a party to vent the frustration in his heart.

The second time, he narrows his campaign goal and sets his sights on the position of San Francisco supervisor.

During the campaign speech, he deliberately avoids Castro Street, where gays gather, thinking that the people there are all trash and he doesn't want to "dirty" himself.

In this election, he almost succeeds, which makes him extremely annoyed.

So, he vents again with his lover, and there is also a tendency for abuse, playing a bit perversely.

The third time, he seriously learns from the failures of the first two times. Through investigation, he discovers that the trash on Castro Street all have votes but no clear support target. This is a large wave of uncultivated votes.

Milk is tempted.

In order to win the election, he can endure his disgust for these people, but wanting to get their support isn't easy.

Through constant observation, he discovers that to get their support, he must first get their recognition—that is to say, you must be gay to break into the interior and get these votes.

Milk is in a dilemma and also understands why no one has been able to get these votes yet. The current social atmosphere is generally conservative, and people are generally contemptuous and disdainful of gays, looking down on these people. Of course, they wouldn't set their sights on the votes in their hands.

But Milk is different. As someone who has failed twice, he cannot fail again. He must get the support of these votes, even if it means paying some disgusting price.

So he pays to hire a gay man as his boyfriend, and the two move into Castro Street and open a small shop, living a life that looks "loving" to outsiders.

Because Milk is rich and helpful, he soon gets along with the people here and becomes their friend.

After witnessing gays being treated roughly by the police, Milk stands out. He actively runs around and shouts loudly that he must help these people get rid of discrimination and promote bills beneficial to gays.

The people here are moved by his "sincerity," think he is a "great" person, and decide to support him in running for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Behind his back, Milk is still doing sports with his lover, and while doing it, he talks about how disgusting those people make him feel. His expression also begins to twist, and he starts playing perversely...

Subsequently, in the next election, he promotes to the outside world that his lover is also gay and lets her be his campaign assistant.

When there is no one around, he does aerobic exercise with his lover in the shop, bathroom, car...

Milk gives speeches in various neighborhoods, repeatedly calling for gays to have human rights, saying people shouldn't look at them with colored glasses, and that special equal rights bills should be formulated.

His speeches are passionate and infectious, which makes the boyfriend he paid to hire fall in love with him unknowingly.

Milk's boyfriend is fake, but his gay identity is real, so he also has a boyfriend.

When this innocent young man discovers that his boyfriend has fallen in love with Milk, after a conversation, he leaves in despair and commits suicide. After Milk wins the election, the fake boyfriend can't stand the moral condemnation and announces a "breakup" with Milk.

This makes Milk overjoyed. He is sad on the surface on Castro Street, but secretly celebrates wildly with his lover.

Finally, it's that Milk, in order to get the support of Castro Street, can only promote the bill, which violates the interests of the conservatives.

Conservatives conspire with the police and shoot Milk in his office.

The people on Castro Street don't know Milk's true face, so they go to the streets to mourn one after another...

After the script is completed, Cao Yang feels it's okay. It contains the conservatives' inability to lose, Milk the despicable fake-radical politician, the vulnerable group played in the palm of his hand, love triangles and quadrangles, suicide, pornography, and perversion...

As long as the actors can perform well, in Hollywood, which is dominated by the left wing, this should have the foundation to win awards, or at least get quite a few nominations.

As for Europe, when the time comes, see which film festival is suitable, and he can try for the highest award. Actually, Cannes is also quite suitable.

Bei Er Man and Harvey Weinstein are very excited after reading the script. They didn't expect things to have such a turn.

They unanimously believe that this script already has the conditions to win awards. As long as the film isn't shot poorly, they can operate it with confidence when the time comes.

Harvey Weinstein thinks more. The current President is a conservative, and Hollywood hates him particularly. This film satirizes conservatives throughout. Even Milk is essentially a conservative—even if he changes, it's forced by the situation.

!

This just happens to hit Hollywood's itch.

If Sean Penn's revelations can be turned into a hot topic, then the probability of winning an award will become even greater.

Bei Er Man and Harvey Weinstein are still worrying about how to add fuel to the fire, but they didn't expect the assist to come.

Tim Luo Binsi, this "good guy" in the eyes of outsiders, stands out to support Sean Penn, saying that he had wanted to take on a film before, which involved the character of Milk.

He searched for information and found that this was a hypocritical bastard, a despicable politician. He used poor gays to achieve his goals and was an extremely selfish person without a bottom line.

Tim Luo Binsi also produced a large amount of evidence: videos, document materials, and interview recordings of insiders.

Tim Luo Binsi' state is clearly not good. He says this is because he spent a lot of time searching for information and was so hateful of such scum that he couldn't sleep at night. He didn't expect there to be such a despicable and shameless villain who uses vulnerable groups...

Moreover, Tim Luo Binsi also states that it is precisely because he understood that Milk was such a person that he refused the invitations of certain crews without hesitation; he couldn't accept playing such a character.

Bei Er Man and Harvey Weinstein are overjoyed, thanking Tim Luo Binsi for the hot topic.

So, Bei Er Man also stands out and throws out a large amount of evidence, saying: "The crew knew what kind of person Milk was long ago. We originally wanted to restore him and let the public understand a real Milk."

"Now that someone has stood out before our film was shot, although we regret not being the first to reveal the truth, our film will be the first biographical film to reveal the facts. Please pay attention to our film; it will definitely not disappoint you."

Subsequently, Miramax and Sony Pictures Classics arranged for stars to stand out and condemn Milk's despicableness and shamelessness.

Seeing that the matter has become a hot topic, more and more stars stand out to condemn Milk, and slowly it turns into condemning conservatives, and finally evolves into condemning the conservative President.

Things are getting more and more interesting.
