……
Although David Frost, Owen Lazar and Jack Brennan can be called tacit cooperation, and their specific operation skills even make Gao Xian marvel and fruitful, there are still problems in the actual interview process.
In the final analysis, the foundation of this Nixon talk show should have enough topics to attract the audience, even if it doesn't sing praises and be kind.
At the beginning of the first day of the interview, David Frost asked bluntly, "Why are some white house jobs not recorded?"
This question means that Nixon secretly installed an automatic telephone recording system in the White House since he became president of the United States in 1969.
The move became known to the public after the "Watergate incident" became more and more intense, but the White House delayed in handing over these videos, and there was obviously less part related to Nixon's cover up of the "Watergate incident".
Although the White House staff, including the Secretary, inadvertently erased part of the tape as an explanation, more people believe that this is Nixon's criminal evidence of deliberately destroying his cover up of the Watergate incident.
Of course, Nixon never pleaded guilty.
David Frost raised this sharp question at the beginning of the interview, naturally in order to ensure the effect of the program.
Obviously, Nixon must have known in advance the direction of David Frost's questions in the interview this day, and should be prepared to answer, but the former American president remained silent and didn't even have a vague answer.
Then, the interview fell into the state described by the popular word "awkward chat" decades after the "old script".
……
Because Nixon's house in California is within the coverage of the coast guard navigation transmitter signal, in order to avoid interference with the equipment, the interview site is a waterfront villa rented from Nixon's long-time supporters, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, for $6000.
Gao Xianzheng and Nixon's eldest son-in-law Edward Cox chatted on the balcony on the second floor about setting up a private medical research institution in the United States. As a result, they heard a burst of footsteps, and then saw Nixon coming.
Seeing this, Gao Xiandang guessed that the interview was not going well.
Noticing that Nixon was a little depressed, Gao Xian gave Edward Cox a wink, then went to get the drink himself, and listened to Jack Brennan tell the whole story.
In the next break, Nixon took the initiative to say, "in view of the defeat in last year's mid-term election and the fact that next year's presidential election will also be put on the agenda, can this interview program be postponed to avoid the controversial topics affecting the election?"
Nixon's remark was an explanation for his failure to cooperate with the interview just now.
We must admit that these remarks are reasonable. One of the main reasons for the party's defeat in the 1974 mid-term elections in the United States was the negative impact of the Watergate incident; Once the Nixon TV interview program is completed and presented in front of people at the current time, it is bound to trigger public opinion fluctuations again, which may affect the successful re-election of President Ford of the Communist Party.
Gao Xian didn't answer directly, but pointed out: "during this time, you must have a deep understanding of the coldness of the world and the warmth of human relations. Many people hope you will disappear from public view."
"However, if there is really no attention, everything, including the impact on the election, is just a hypothesis."
Gao Xian's implication is a very cold reality. Nixon has been pushed by the wall in the United States. Why look ahead and back.
To put it bluntly, there were only two ways in front of Nixon. One was that he disappeared from public view and no one remembered his value; The other is to become the focus of attention again, which is worried by the colleagues of the Communist Party about affecting next year's presidential election.
Since Nixon wanted to make a comeback, it would be impossible to plead guilty in essence, and the excuse of worrying about drinking the party's interests was even more ridiculous. He won the attention first before he had the capital to worry about other gains and losses.
It is estimated that Nixon was really touched by the coldness of the world and the warmth of human relations. After the rest time, he finally began to answer the questions raised by David Frost.
However, David Frost learned from the previous lessons and put it another way. Although it is still sharp, it is not so harsh. "After the Watergate incident, as president, are your actions legal?"
Nixon slowly replied, "in the context of maintaining national security, when the president does this, it means that it is not illegal."
Gao Xian, who was standing in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. No matter how roundabout Nixon's answer was, it was on track.
From the perspective of "manipulation", Nixon's situation is also ironic.
The cause of the Watergate incident was that Nixon's senior aides were so overwhelmed by the abundance of campaign funds that they did not need to mobilize resources in vain to spy on their opponents.
Nixon may not have really known in advance about such a trivial matter that could not be put on the table, and it was virtually put on the table by the Ministry.
After the east window incident, Nixon was manipulated by the situation and had no choice but to eliminate all kinds of criminal evidence, but in the end he could not escape the end of stepping down.
Now, Nixon gradually compromised in the interview, which still shows the meaning of being manipulated.
From this expansion, who can really avoid the situation of "being manipulated" on the big stage of the world?
Producer David Frost doesn't jump as much as high string thinking. After more than two hours of interview recording, he said excitedly: "if it continues so smoothly, the program can be broadcast by the end of this year at the latest."
Nixon wanted to earn $600000 for the interview, but it was not so easy.
According to the plan, the interview will last for four weeks, three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, recording for at least two hours a day, so as to obtain effective materials with a total length of no less than 24 hours. Eventually, these materials will be edited into four 90 minute programs, put on TV and meet the public.
David Frost still enjoys such hard work because of his full motivation.
Nixon was infamous in the United States because of the influence of the Watergate incident, but his interview was of a high grade, enough to become a brilliant resume in David Frost's career.
Gao Xian, who is more concerned about the beneficial experience bit by bit in the operation of the interview program, is not as eager as David Frost. He just smiled faintly: "I wish this interview program can achieve an ideal audience rating at that time."
PS: it's too wasteful to update. Please forgive me. We have to give priority to the work related to survival. I hope brothers can understand it more. I have to go back to my hometown this Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, I will make a new face.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
