612. Chapter 612 - Scene 612: Wild Words Finally Come True

After the interview with the organizer, the black female reporter stopped her in the protest team again. A middle-aged woman holding a slogan "Go home, kids' door" asked her with a microphone:

"Ms., why did you participate in this protest? Is it because you have family on the Iraq battlefield?"

"No, I don't have any family and friends on the Iraq battlefield~" the middle-aged woman said a little embarrassedly.

"Then why are you here to participate in this protest?" the female reporter asked with a microphone.

"This... is actually... because I went to watch "Iron Man" with my child. We all think that the US government abuses force in the Middle East is very incorrect. My child is also very angry about this. When he was online, he happened to see a protest on a website recruiting poster of "Iron Man", so he came. I was actually mainly watching him and preventing him from getting into trouble..." The mother was obviously a little embarrassed.

The program director cut the screen back into the live broadcast room, and the white male anchor said with a serious expression: "Thank you Lisa Katie for your live report. Now, let's listen to the opinions of Vietnam veterans and sociology experts."

As soon as the picture turned, a white-haired old man was cut into, with the subtitles below saying "Maureen Dooley, 67 years old, participated in the Vietnam War, an anti-combat fighter." The old man said helplessly and angrily:

"When I participated in the Anti-Vietnam War in 1967, I saw people around me gathered to protest the government because they had a pursuit of values. But now, many young people are impulsively going to the streets to express their opinions because of a movie. This is very naive. They should go to school well and learn more about the world. Then judge under the war that a superhero movie cannot explain any problems."

The camera turned to an interview with a sociology professor, and the expert wearing eyes and dressed in an old and pedantic manner said angrily:

"Cinema works now should focus more on expressing art, rather than using this medium to express the director's own political views. Films like "Iron Man" that are obviously politically inclined to incite public opinion should be restricted at all. Otherwise, it is very dangerous to allow a foreign director to convey distorted values ​​to young people in the United States..."

Of course, abc is not advertising "Iron Man", but because of the advancement of this anti-war parade. A large part of the reason is because of the anti-war ideas promoted by the movie "Iron Man". Originally, most young people did not pay attention to the social topics that adults were enthusiastic about. Just because of Tony Stark's classic lines, everyone pointed their finger at the US government.

Especially the Tony Stark sentence: "Some people say that the best weapons are never to be fired. But I don't agree, because I think the best weapons only need to be fired once. My father did this, and the United States did this. So far, they are very effective~~"

This line was regarded as a crime by countless anti-Iraq war figures by Li Xiaole and the Bush administration. Since "the best weapon is to only be launched once." Why has the Iraq War not over the past four years been fought?

Not only that, but even many hardliners Republican politicians who support the Iraq War have begun to quote the lines in "Iron Man", indicating that the US government's position is actually consistent with Tony Stark. John Conils, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and Republican Congressman, said at a speech:

"I think the people completely misunderstand the work done by the government. We are not launching wars to create pain, on the contrary, we are trying to maintain peace. Just like Tony Stark said, "If you want not to be bullied, you have to have a stick thicker than others." We should now increase our investment in the military industry until we really have absolute power like those superheroes, and the safety of our American people will be guaranteed...

And the technologies shown in "Iron Man" are not fictional. Our military institute is currently conducting similar project research plans. For example, the Marine Corps is assembling three "tactical attack light armor...it will be used for actual combat as soon as 18 years."

As soon as the camera turned, several scenes appear on the TV screen, similar to the mechanical arms in "Iron Man" and processing metal sheets with a very technological sense.

The media also reported this news: "The real version of Iron Man is being developed", and cbs news station reported:

"Military sources say that if the assembly is successful, this set of light armor will revolutionize the survivability and other capabilities of special combat personnel. The 'tactical attack light armor' is designed to enable elite troops to better deal with assault missions and reduce casualties. This armor will likely use "liquid metal" technology to pass through the induction of current and magnetic fields. This material can solidify within 1 millisecond to withstand the attack of bullets or explosive debris.

Tactical attacks on light armor "will be able to monitor the user's situation in real time. If the user is injured, the armor will automatically provide heat, air and oxygen. At the same time, a project that can help the user stop bleeding is also in the design..."

In this report, CBS did not hesitate to use clips from "Iron Man".

In this sudden anti-war boom across the United States, "Iron Man" seems to have become an unavoidable topic, and Li Xiaole and Tom Cruise are also inevitably becoming hotly discussed characters, especially Li Xiaole, who became the revolutionary leader in Hollywood in the minds of young people after making a high-profile speech. His influence has gradually expanded all levels of American society because of this anti-war parade.

It seems that from when, every fictional story directed by Li Xiaole in TV will have more or less impact on the real world, such as the "college withdrawal wave" brought by "Life Remote Control", and the blockbuster doomsday panic remarks that appeared in South America when "The Walking Dead" was broadcast. Now even a superhero movie that has nothing to do with reality has triggered a huge craze for "anti-Iran war" now...

This also made Li Xiaole feel very wonderful.

One phenomenon-level wave after another, as an article in the Los Angeles Times said, in the third work in the United States, the 24-year-old Chinese boy is finally about to burst out the energy of a real big director! Just like Stephen Spielberg, who launched "Jaws" at the age of 20, and George Lucas, who launched "Star Wars" at the age of 33, has an unlimited future.

In the fourth week of its release, although the box office results of "Iron Man" declined, "only" earned 310,000 yuan in North America, but with the extremely high publicity brought by the anti-war boom, "Iron Man" made rapid progress in the markets of 52 countries around the world, and won an overseas box office of 97.82 million US dollars in one week~! It broke Li Xiaole's own single-week box office record!

After this result was confirmed, Li Xiaole finally realized his "crazy words". The box office in North America exceeded 300 million and the global box office exceeded 500 million!! He himself felt excited and proud. On Facebook, he responded to his arrogant statement with a "smiling face" symbol, and this message immediately triggered more than 30,000 comments and more than 10,000 reposts.

This time, not only the American movie fans were convinced, but also made the Chinese movie fans who logged into Facebook to support Li Xiaole and were so excited that they were all over the place, leaving a message to express their excitement!!!

A Beijing movie fan named Lin Feng spelled in a chaotic grammar: "look~!americans~~what-is-called-niubi!!this-is-niubi~!!!(Look~!Americans! What is awesome! This is awesome!!!)"

Countless Chinese movie fans excitedly replied to the word "niubi!!" on Facebook rows, which made American netizens look at each other and wonder what the word "niubi" means?

After understanding the meaning of this word, the word unexpectedly became a fashionable Internet term in just a few days. As long as you describe something or someone, you will use the word "niubi"...

Even in a US server game "World of Warcraft", American players used to play "nihao~" when they met Chinese players, but now they have changed to "niubi~" to make many Chinese players feel very intimate.

Over the past week, "Iron Man" has received a global box office of 567.6 million US dollars in a casual manner. As long as someone who knows a little about the movie, he will no longer suspect that it cannot enter the global box office club of the Heart 10...

Even those who have never been interested in film and television, when they open newspapers and TV, they inevitably hear the names "Iron Man" and Li Xiaole.

This is a new miracle that is happening, a phenomenon that a new era is coming! A phenomenon that can only be triggered by movies!

The six major film companies felt very desperate. Although they still did not deal with Black Pearl United States, they could no longer stop the growth of this competitor. Fortunately, Black Pearl United States only has 4,000 screens to be released. If the market is opened, I really can't believe how many box offices "Iron Man" will get this time...

Under the panic caused by this sense of crisis, the six major players decided to draw a clear line with Black Pearl Company, and they would never allow their movies to be involved in their own theaters.

But Black Pearl United States is now full of confidence and has begun to announce various new film plans to the public and put them on the agenda, including "Hulk" in the Avengers series, "Captain America", "Stillon's producer, "Twilight" in the Tornado, and "Pulp Novel" in the collaboration with Lionsgate Pictures...

A series of movies of different types have been put on the agenda, which has also allowed everyone to see the ambition of Black Pearl Connecting America.
Chapter completed!
