Chapter 1175 Full-Scale War!

[92zw] Tom Cruise didn't expect that he would arouse such strong public anger online. While flustered, he kept asking his agent: "What do you think I should do now? Is there any way to recover?"

The agent thought for a moment and said seriously, "Tom, I think the most important thing right now is to quickly put aside the relationship. If netizens condemn you for taking on such a movie, then you should quickly make a statement saying that you don't know about this movie. It’s a film that celebrates the extreme Bushido, and the Japanese culture you like doesn’t include the inhumane, extreme Bushido spirit.”

Tom Cruise said hurriedly: "No problem, I can write a statement now, but how useful do you think this statement can be?"

The agent said: "I can't guarantee you, maybe there is only a little relief effect, maybe no effect at all, it mainly depends on whether your statement can persuade these angry audiences."

Having said this, the agent hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth and said: "Tom, to be honest, from my point of view, we have no possibility of recovery now, so it is best not to have any hope of recovery, we should do the most. It is to stop the loss in time, it is best to immediately announce the withdrawal of the filming, and at the same time apologize to the people of the whole country and ask for their forgiveness.”

"What?!" Tom Cruise was stunned when he heard this: "The movie is halfway through, you asked me to quit? How can I quit? The compensation alone will cost tens of millions of dollars, and more importantly, If I quit at this time, the Japanese consortium will definitely hate me! What will I do in the future?"

The agent blurted out: "It's still time to consider these, if you wait a little later, and wait for the views of netizens to upgrade, then it's useless even if you quit!"

Tom Cruise said irritably: "I'll write a statement first, and you can help me find the media to publish it. As for the rest, let's observe it first."

The agent sighed helplessly and said, "Now that all major media are publishing articles criticizing you, do you still want them to make a statement for you? Even if they are willing to help you publish, they will definitely target you with editorial comments."

Tom Cruise asked, "So what?!"

The agent was silent for a while, then said, "By the way, try to find Li Mu for help. If he is willing to help you make your statement on YY, the situation will be much more optimistic."

"Li Mu?!" Tom Cruise said, "What if I don't know Li Mu?"

The agent thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an idea, and said, "You ask Spielberg for help! He is in Huaxia now, and he has a very good relationship with Li Mu! They just signed a contract a few days ago, and the two sides want to reach a strategic partnership. , if he is willing to help you say a good word in front of Li Mu, then it should bring some redemption to your reputation."

"Spielberg?!" Tom Cruise seemed to grab a life-saving straw and said excitedly: "Okay! Then I'll contact him now!"

Li Mu did not expect that Tom Cruise actually asked Spielberg to ask him for help.

Spielberg pleaded on the phone: "Mr. Li, Tom is a very good actor. Didn't you tell me two days ago that you are very interested in him and hope to cooperate with him? He has encountered a lot of trouble, if you can help him, Mr. Li, I believe that when he gets through this difficulty, he will definitely repay you twice."

Li Mu said to Spielberg without hesitation: "Steven, I have already learned about Tom Cruise, please tell him, I will never agree to his request! At the same time, I represent China Ten 300 million compatriots, express strong condemnation for what he has done! The American people cannot forget the damage brought to them by the extreme Bushido spirit, and the 1.3 billion compatriots in China will not forget that anyone who stands for the extreme Bushido spirit is us. enemy!"

Spielberg didn't expect Li Mu's reaction to this matter to be so extreme, so he immediately gave up and continued to plead for Tom Cruise.

Instead, he hurriedly followed Li Mu's words and said: "You are right, this kind of behavior is indeed very excessive, and it is unacceptable to the people of countries in the world that have suffered from Japanese aggression."

After speaking, Spielberg said again: "Anyone has to be responsible for his own behavior, this time should be a profound education lesson for him!"

Li Mu snorted and said, "This is the price he should pay."

After Spielberg hung up the phone, he immediately conveyed Li Mu's attitude to Tom Cruise, and made it clear that he could not help him, which instantly dashed the glimmer of hope that Tom Cruise had just generated!

Even Li Mu has such a big opinion about him, it seems that he really stabbed a hornet's nest this time!

...

Just when Tom Cruise was at a loss in New Zealand, Li Mu's second wave of crusade kicked off.

After all, he is an Internet celebrity with more than ten years of experience leading the world today. Li Mutai knows how to incite speeches on the Internet. In other words, he is now the world's most famous celebrity who knows how to hack a person online. .

The title of Li Mu's new article is "Tom Cruise, how much blood of your compatriots has the samurai sword in your hand been stained with?" ", the article used a questioning tone throughout, directly firing at Tom Cruise.

Among them, Li Mu asked him: When you keep saying that you are obsessed with Japanese culture and the spirit of Bushido, do you know how many compatriots have died here?

When you picked up the katana sword and sang the extreme Bushido in "The Last Samurai", did you ever think about how many heads of compatriots have been chopped to the ground by the katana sword in your hand?

When you were convinced by Japanese Bushido in "The Last Samurai" and willingly fought to defend the extreme Bushido spirit, do you know how many righteous people have sacrificed their lives to oppose this anti-human spirit?

After several consecutive questions, Li Mu said in the article: "The mercenary nature of the commodity society and the upper class society makes our stars have no morals in order to make money. As public figures, shouldn't stars be more demanding of themselves? , Let yourself play more role models in the society? Shouldn’t you have a detailed understanding of the plot and historical background of a movie before taking on a movie? If you have even this most basic professional quality If it is missing, how far will the industry degenerate?"

"Tom Cruise, as a public figure, if he took over the film with a lack of understanding of history, it is enough to prove that the overall quality of the actor group needs to be improved; if he has a sufficient understanding of history After taking this film, his motives are even more heinous, because the pain of the country is worthless in his opinion. No matter what kind it is, it is unforgivable!"

At the end of the article, Li Mu also made a metaphor: "If one day an actor takes up a film praising the Nazis, please keep in mind that there are two most terrifying things, except the actor who is willing to praise the Nazis, and the other Invest in the company that made this movie!"

As soon as this article came out, it quickly won the support and applause of the vast majority of netizens. While they agreed with the article's views, they quickly continued to spread the article to the entire network.

Li Mu's article blocked almost all of Tom Cruise's escape routes.

At this time, Tom Cruise has been completely cornered by Li Mu, and he has no ability to resist at all, and the result Li Mu wants is to make Tom Cruise unable to find it when facing the criticism of the whole society. Any valid reasons, excuses and rhetoric!

In this way, I continue to push the flames behind, continue to pressure Tom Cruise, and finally leave Tom Cruise only one choice: apologize, and then withdraw from the film.

And Li Mu also wants to drive Warner to a dead end, so that they have to stop the filming of this movie, and make this $140 million investment work completely become a lousy building in Hollywood!

In addition, Li Mu has a bigger goal and pursuit, that is, to make the entire Western society recognize the true face of the Bushido spirit, and through this incident, they will be swayed, and from now on they will not dare to participate in any film projects that promote Japanese culture. !

...

In order to ensure the success of this matter, Li Mu decided to start a full-scale war!

Before this, Li Mu used various means to hide his identity in order to trigger this incident on the Internet, in order to avoid revealing bugs in major logic, but now, the incident has become hot on the Internet, at this time You can take part in it openly.

So, Li Mu immediately called the person in charge of yy English website and gave him two tasks:

First, from now on, follow up the events related to "The Last Samurai" comprehensively and fully, and conduct 24-hour rolling reports on the yy English website. At the same time, the headlines of the pop-up news for the next three days will be reserved for this event. The impact of this event has been pushed to the extreme;

Second, invite well-known authors from China and the United States to write articles on this incident. The arguments of the articles must be very clear, and everything must be based on "strong condemnation of those who promote the spirit of extreme Bushido" as the starting point;

Later, Li Mu called Wang Nan, the editor-in-chief in charge of yy's Chinese portal, and asked him to vigorously publicize the incident in yy and yy's daily push in China;

In addition, Li Mu called Zhao Kang, who was busy with the chain Internet cafe project, and set a request for him: After yy has vigorously promoted this matter, he will immediately mobilize the navy to help fuel the fire on the Internet. It must be mobilized. Aroused the enthusiasm of domestic netizens to discuss this incident, and at the same time tried to find a way to guide them to support American netizens on the Internet.

The first half of Li Mu asked Zhao Kang to understand very well, but he was a little confused in the second half of the demand, so he asked Li Mu: "Support American netizens? How to support?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "It's very simple, we need to find a way to mobilize Chinese netizens who can speak English to the Internet in the United States, and let them contribute to this time and express their support for relevant content on the Internet in the United States. Take certain speech skills."

Speaking, Li Mu gave an example: "For example, let all netizens add a sentence before replying to the posts of American netizens: The delegation of Chinese netizens came to support, justice will win! Let American netizens know that in this case In this matter, Chinese netizens are comrades in the trenches with them, and this time, they are making a big move to support them and justice!"

Back then, when Emperor Bar, Wow Bar and other bars exploded together, that kind of comrade-like camaraderie made many bar friends extremely excited. What Li Mu has to do now is to take this opportunity to make Chinese and American netizens become intimate. Comrades-in-arms, this is also laying a good foundation for the future "Flying Tigers" in advance! 【I just love Chinese】
