Chapter 542 American Crime Story: The Simpson Prosecution Case

In fact, in Charlotte's adaptation of the American TV series "Death Note", he somewhat increased the age of the two male protagonists.

After all, except for the Japanese who are obsessed with the "high school student saves the world" meme, the main audiences in other countries still lack some sense of empathy for the protagonists of this age.

Even though the target audience of "Death Note" is indeed mainly teenagers, considering the audience characteristics of the American market, Charlotte still raised the age of the main characters to the college level.

——It is similar to the Japanese version of the movie "Death Note".

In this age group, the sense of empathy for young audiences is stronger.

Audiences of other age groups will not feel any sense of disobedience when watching it.

After all, although Charlotte's original purpose of producing the American TV series version of "Death Note" was to refine the real "Death Note", expanding the business into TV series was originally one of the future development strategies of Spectre Studio. .

——Charlotte doesn’t want to lose money, and she doesn’t want the impression that “Spectre’s products must be high-quality” to be broken.

Therefore, when adapting the script, he still put in a lot of effort and made many adjustments based on the habits of American television audiences.

At least, when Moonlight executed criminals with the Death Note, many criminals died in a performance art style, just to satisfy the heavy taste of American audiences.

In particular, "Death Note" is broadcast on pay TV stations like HBO.

Audiences who watch programs from HBO, a TV station known for its large scale, tend to focus on taste.

——It’s like a **** criminal accidentally cut his lower part while committing suicide, and he squirted blood to death;

——Financial criminals who defrauded the elderly’s pension funds were burned alive by the flames of the money they defrauded;

——A large amount of illegal cement was used, causing the builders of high-rise buildings to collapse and were directly killed by cement blocks falling from the sky;

Etc., etc. Anyway, when filming the way criminals died, Charlotte fully borrowed from "1000 Ways to Die", and the film was very black humorous, allowing the audience to see a large amount of blood plasma, with adrenaline soaring and unbearable. I just want to laugh.

However, although Charlotte added a "performance art" element to his character, the most common method used by Moonlight to execute criminals was heart paralysis.

——After all, it is too troublesome to weave a "death story" for each criminal.

Moonlight only improvises when he encounters a criminal who inspires his "artistic inspiration."

As for most ordinary criminals, Moon still just recorded their names in the Death Note and let them die of cardiac paralysis.

As a result, a large number of criminals who died of cardiac paralysis naturally attracted the attention of the FBI, which is responsible for monitoring domestic security in the United States.

——Unlike the original work, after the story of "Death Note" was adapted into an American TV series by Charlotte, it was natural for the story background to be transplanted to the United States.

In the United States, it is natural to involve the FBI when a case is involved.

What's more, isolationist ideas are prevalent in the United States. Americans are famous for being geographically illiterate and don't even know how many continents there are in the world except their own country.

Although such people are not all, when considering the understanding ability of the audience, it is often necessary to judge based on the lower limit of the target audience.

Therefore, Charlotte can only let the FBI, which is well known to American audiences, serve as Moon Wright's opponent.

To a certain extent, this is much more reasonable than the original story, which was clearly set in Japan, but forced the FBI into the scene.

——Even in reality, Japan is indeed the daughter country of the United States to a certain extent, and is "loved" and "controlled" by her father in various ways...

*********

In short, after the plot of the first episode enters the second half, the FBI side that confronts "killer" Moon Wright has officially made its debut.

However, Moon didn’t know yet.

After all, the FBI has not officially launched an operation.

Charlotte has added an original plot here——

He caused a vicious case to occur in the community where Moon Wright's family was located.

——A middle-aged woman was brutally killed.

Just when the police were at their wits' end, Moon used some simple clues to infer that the murderer was the other party's ex-husband, and through questioning, confirmed the other party's crime.

However, due to police mistakes, the cunning murderer destroyed the evidence in advance, leaving everyone knowing he was the murderer but unable to do anything about it.

"Is this an allusion to Simpson's murder of his wife?"

As a member of the FBI in real life, Kate Todd couldn't help but think about it while watching the plot.

As the most typical case in which there is no suspicion of guilt, Simpson's murder of his wife is famous in the judicial circles of the United States and even the world before.——

In 1994, former American football player Simpson killed his ex-wife and restaurant waiter Lang Goldman with a knife. However, due to several major mistakes by the police, several strong evidences were invalidated, so that he was eventually found guilty. With the help of his lawyers, Simpson was acquitted.

——This case has just passed a few years ago. As an FBI agent, Kate naturally cannot not know about this case.

In her opinion, the case in the second half of the first episode of "Death Note" is obviously alluding to the Simpson case.

As a federal agent, Kate naturally thought about the contradiction between procedural justice and human justice. As a result, Moon on the TV screen had no such hesitation at all——

He directly wrote the other person's name on the Death Note, causing the other person to die of cardiac paralysis.

"So easy!?"

Not only Kate, but also other viewers in front of the TV were shocked by the decisive killing of "killer" Moon Wright.

However, after the shock, many people felt a sense of relief in their hearts that "this is how it should be."

——In fact, although the Marist Party is rampant in the public opinion circles in the United States, they often do some weird things in the name of "human rights" and "love", and even send various kinds of warmth to serious prisoners in prison.

But ordinary Americans still instinctively like stability. Especially in some conservative-minded areas, people actually criticize things like "abolition of the death penalty."

In the future, it will be this group idea suppressed by traditional public opinion that will allow a certain real estate tycoon to successfully enter the White House.

Now, this is the same idea that makes many people have a favorable impression of Moon's execution of criminals in "Death Note".

Even the leftists who did not support this kind of behavior mostly felt a sense of pleasure or refreshment because of Moon's decisive killing.

——This is a human instinct after all.

Even Kate feels similarly.

——She was just bored during the break and wanted to watch TV to kill time. I switched to HBO and saw "Death Note" by pure luck.

But after the plot just now, she was completely immersed in this fast-paced and shocking plot.

And Charlotte's goal has been achieved...
