Chapter 1219 Mire

If there is no such thing as "The Last Samurai", Tom Cruise is really an actor that Li Mu likes very much. In fact, Li Mu has always liked him very much in his last life. He has good looks, acting skills, and a spirit of daring to fight. , is indeed a benchmark that many stars need to learn from.

But in this life, different statuses, different heights, and different perspectives on problems led him to watch the movie "The Last Samurai" and have a deeper understanding, and realized the deeper purpose of the movie. At this time, Li Mu When looking at this issue again, Tom Cruise is already on the opposite side of him.

In this case, Li Mu sacrificed a Tom Cruise in order to destroy the film and the positive spread of Bushido spirit in the world. In his opinion, it is already irrelevant, and Tom Cruise is not innocent. Being implicated, as a star, as a public figure, he should know more about history than the public, he should know the crimes against humanity committed by Japan during World War II, and he should know even more that the spirit of Bushido that he admires is the cause of those wars. The culprit of atrocities.

Under such circumstances, he should be responsible for his own actions even if he went to make such a movie. Even if his acting career was ruined in the future, Li Mu would have no pity for him, let alone any guilt.

After talking about Tom Cruise, Li Mu, Spielberg and others talked about "Flying Tigers" again.

For "Flying Tigers", tomorrow's press conference is extremely important. If this press conference can attract and impress the audience through the film lineup, story background and real history, then the film has already succeeded in half.

At this time, Spielberg said with a serious face: "I invited Mr. Chennault's daughter, who was born to him and his first wife. She will also attend our press conference tomorrow. She is too old. I just hoped that she would allow us to shoot this movie, but I didn't plan to invite her to the press conference, but it happened that she made a special trip to Huaxia just last year because of her father's history. In her own words, to After learning about Huaxia and understanding the hardships and hardships that Huaxia suffered in the Anti-Japanese War, she really understood what her father did in those years, so she was also very excited that her father's deeds could be made into a movie, and she insisted on attending this event. At the press conference, she said that she would personally tell the Americans how cruel the Sino-Japanese War that her father participated in was."

Li Mu didn't expect that Chennault's descendants would also attend the press conference, and immediately said excitedly: "That's great, can you arrange for me to meet her old man in advance?"

Spielberg said: "The old man hasn't arrived in Los Angeles yet, but her son's home is not far from Los Angeles. She first went to her son's house as a guest, and his son will drive with her tomorrow morning."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then please do a good job in the reception work, and make sure not to make the old man feel any discomfort."

said,

Li Mu asked again, "Does Chennault have any other descendants?"

Spielberg said: "His second wife is still alive and has been living in the United States. I also have contact with her, but I did not invite her to the conference."

Only then did Li Mu think that Chennault married a Chinese woman in China back then. He didn't expect that the old man was still alive. When he heard that Spielberg did not invite her to the press conference, he asked in surprise, "Why?"

Spielberg said: "Ms. Chen Xiangmei is of Chinese descent. I feel that if she attends the press conference and narrates the history of the Americans helping the Chinese in their war of resistance, it will not be convincing enough to Westerners. I am also worried that if someone takes this Making a fuss, attacking your real purpose is mixed with political and racial intentions, but if it is Chennault's daughter, then for Westerners, the credibility and acceptability will be much higher, and the chance of being caught by others Much less."

Li Mu thought for a moment, then nodded lightly. Spielberg was right. Although he didn't explicitly state his racial or political propaganda intentions, a smart person like him must have sensed it. It is indeed necessary to avoid being caught, even if the history is true, over-whitewashing or over-interpretation may lead to rejection. At this time, it is indeed necessary to cover up a little. If the press conference tomorrow is all Americans except myself , then for Westerners, the persuasive force will be much greater.

After basically finishing the specific details of tomorrow's press conference, Li Mu asked the hotel to prepare some champagne, soft drinks and desserts, and a few people held a small reception in the largest living room of his luxurious suite. There are not many people chatting about some interesting topics, so the atmosphere is just the most comfortable.

After chatting for a long time, Spielberg found an opportunity to come to Li Mu with a glass of champagne in private, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Li, there is something I want to talk to you about in private."

Li Mu raised his head and glanced at Tom Hanks and Leonardo who were chatting not far away, thinking that Spielberg had something to say, and he had to avoid these two and Anne Hathaway, but he still nodded. , said to him: "There is a small study next to it, let's chat there."

"OK."

The two entered the small study next to each other one after the other. Although the other people saw it, they didn't pay much attention to it. After entering the study, Spielberg closed the door and used a relatively low voice, with a solemn expression on his face. Li Mu said, "Mr. Li, before I came here this time, a very distinguished friend contacted me specifically, saying that he wanted to meet you in private before you left the United States."

Li Mu asked in surprise: "Who is this friend you are talking about? Do I know or have heard of it?"

Spielberg smiled slightly and said, "It's Mr. Kerry of the Democratic Party of the United States, and he is also the Democratic Party's next presidential candidate."

Li Mu was immediately surprised.

Kerry has heard that in the 2004 US presidential election, he ran against President Bush, who was seeking re-election. Although he was favored by the people of many Western countries and the media, he ultimately failed to win the election.

At this time, there is still more than a year before the presidential election. Kerry actively wants to see himself at this time, so he can guess without thinking. Kerry hopes to win over himself and use his huge influence in the Internet industry and global influence in the future. Information delivery ability to help him win the election.

After realizing this, Li Mu asked Spielberg: "Mr. Kerry wants to see me at this time, it should be for next year's presidential election, right?"

"Smart!" Spielberg was not surprised that Li Mu was able to understand the motive, he said calmly: "The whole of Hollywood is the hardcore of the Democratic Party, so we have always provided the best help for the Democratic Party's election campaign. , Mr. Kerry is a very good person, if you meet him, you will feel that way."

Having said this, Spielberg paused and said: "Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to his identity as a Democratic candidate, just treat it as an ordinary new friend to contact first, and other things will be discussed later."

Li Mu nodded, sure enough! With his current influence, he has already begun to invite candidates for the presidential campaign to come to him.

However, Li Mu's heart was not excited, instead he was suddenly a little uneasy.

He did not expect that his influence has become so far-reaching that even the candidates for the US presidential election have begun to try to recruit his extraordinary Internet power, which also means that he has begun to have the ability to change the world. Ability.

So here comes the question. It is good to say that I am changing the world in the Internet field, because I have enough ability, accumulation and grasp of the future to ensure that I can hold the changes brought about by myself, but if I invest this influence in other countries Politics, especially the world's number one power like the United States, may change the whole world situation in the future.

If I remember correctly, Kerry was only a little behind Bush in the 2004 election. Both sides mobilized all their resources and their own parties in the competition. In this case, Next, the two ends of the scale are very likely to be the gap between 100 tons and 100 tons and 100 grams. If at this time, I bring a behemoth like Muye Technology into this battlefield, then I may be in the entire election. play a decisive role.

If I really help Kerry campaign and use the resources of Muye Technology to promote and canvass for him, Kerry is very likely to win, but the question is, do I really want to go into this muddy water?

It is true that if he really helps Kerry campaign, once he is elected, he will be able to reap a lot of political benefits in the United States in the future. Anyone who sponsors the election is making a two-to-one gamble. Rewards, which have become an open secret in the US presidential campaign.

But then, the problem also arises. If Bush fails to be re-elected in 2004 and Kerry takes office, then the future political landscape of the United States will undergo huge changes from the course that Li Mu has known in his previous life.

With one more Kerry, God knows if Obama still has a chance to take office? If Kerry did a good job after taking office, then even if Obama came out to run for office in 2008, it was impossible to prevent Kerry from being re-elected. Then only in 2012 will the next president be born, and who will the president of the United States be at that time? ? Hillary? Obama? Or another so-and-so that he has never heard of?

For a reincarnated person like Li Mu, the best situation is to change what he can control and obey what he cannot control, so that he will not be reborn as the biggest golden finger, which is the biggest golden finger for future development. of familiarity is wasted.

If he helped Kerry campaign, then from 2004 onwards until 2016, all of Li Mu's memories of American politics would be completely meaningless.

From the point of view of safety, Li Mu's best choice is not to get involved in the quagmire of the US election.

However, from another point of view, if Li Mu has enough control ability and can hold all this, then intervening in it is like intervening in the Internet industry, and he will definitely be able to obtain countless long-term benefits from it.

Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head. Now that he has come to the door, he doesn't need to be too entangled. See it first and see. If you really feel that you can't stand in this troubled water, then stay out of it; if you really have this strength next year, It is not impossible to directly enter the American political arena!
