When Paul Keane thought about the day when he took the senator to block Li Mu's plane and went to Li Mu's plane to show off, he regretted it and wanted to slap himself in the face.
Originally, he wanted to show his political strength to Li Mu, shock him, and make him worship him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became his biggest leverage in Li Mu's hands.
The American people are very sensitive to the private use of public power, and what disgusts the people even more is when public power is controlled by private individuals. If this matter is exposed by Li Mu, the reputation of the Keene family will be completely discredited across the United States.
However, Li Mu didn't give himself any room. Even Elon Musk, who went to Hollywood to ask him for help and begged for mercy, was unable to do anything. He conveyed Li Mu's request to Paul Keane verbatim. Li Mu's request was very simple. , Paul and James, father and son, no one can escape responsibility for this, and no one can think of sacrificing themselves to protect the other. It was the two of you who pretended to be cool, and it must be borne by the two of you.
Paul Keane is willing to sacrifice his reputation, but if he really wants his son to apologize and admit his evil intentions towards 3321, it will mean ruining all his prospects.
The American people may forgive James, but the family will never forgive him. Paul knows all too well what kind of wishful thinking his eldest brother and younger brother have been planning.
For a long time, their biggest idea was to replace their son as the successor. However, they had to follow the family's operating system and could not find a suitable opportunity to do so. Now, this opportunity has come. If he couldn't keep his son, judging from the bad impact of this incident, it would be enough for the eldest brother to remove his son from the position of successor several times.
Paul Keane has been weighing it for a long time. If he accepts Li Mu's conditions, the family reputation can be preserved to a certain extent, but the reputation of himself and his son will definitely not be preserved. By that time, he and his son will be equivalent to losing everything;
If you don't accept Li Mu's conditions, you still have a chance to fight with Li Mu. Even if the hope of winning is slim, it is much better than surrendering directly. Moreover, instead of risking the future of yourself and your son, it is better to pull in the whole The family is the backer. In that case, even if it fails, the whole family will still be there to carry it. At that time, the family will not be able to escape even if they want to.
Wanting to understand this, Paul Keane was worried, gritted his teeth, and said to himself: "Li Mu, since you want to play, then I will rope in the entire Keane family to play with you to the end!"
Li Mu sometimes struggled with whether it was James Keane or Paul Keane. One of the father and son coveted his 3321, and the other came here to show off to him mindlessly. The matter was not very serious. If you just laugh it off, this matter will be over completely. After all, no one wants to make enemies everywhere when walking in the world.
However, every time he had such a dilemma, Li Mu would think of Paul Keane's determined look on the plane.
In any case, he is also a ferocious beast. Even if he is not bloodthirsty or cannibalistic, he is still a ferocious beast. Even if other small animals do not have to be afraid in front of ferocious beasts, they must still be respectful, otherwise any three-legged cat can jump out. If you show off your power to yourself and show off your teeth and claws to yourself, will you be unable to survive the rest of your life
Paul Keane is not a fool. He can measure his own strength, and he also knows how far he is from his own strength. In this case, Paul Keane still dares to do something in front of him. The reason for the clown is simply that his teeth and claws have always been on display and have never been used.
Li Mu knows very well that the water in the United States is no shallower than that in China, and the internal political and economic structure of the United States is extremely complex. If he wants to take root in this country's market, he must first let the local snakes in this market see him clearly. The strength of the Keen family, so this time is an opportunity for the Keen family to scare the monkeys. I must make the Keen family completely dominant or completely defeated!
…
Li Mu looked like a militant about to rush into the battlefield. The temperature of his blood seemed to be much hotter than usual. With the desire to fight, Li Mu actually slept very soundly that night.
Today is an unprecedented day for all of Hollywood.
Never before has a movie launch conference attracted such a large amount of attention, especially when no one knows what the movie is going to be about.
Neither Li Mu's Makino Impressions nor Spielberg's DreamWorks have disclosed the details of the film. Even the title and story background have not been announced to the public. No one knows about such a film. What kind of movie is it, but it attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood.
As for the reasons, there are too many.
In the words of later generations, there are too many traffic hot spots in this movie whose name is not even known.
The biggest hot spot is Li Mu.
These days, no star is as influential as Li Mu. This Chinese young man who came out of nowhere has already become the idol of young people all over the world. Most of the people who know him have a great impression of her. , this is something no star can do.
With Li Mu's strength, it is easy to understand that he invests in film and television companies and movies. However, it is very rare that he personally cooperates with well-known Hollywood directors, well-known actors and film and television companies, and personally attends the press conference of the film. Even Li Mu Everyone pays so much attention to this movie, which shows how valuable this movie is.
In addition, this movie also stars Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Leonardo DiCaprio. These three are all big names in Hollywood, and Anne Heather Although Wei is young and has little experience, she is also very well-known. Such actors and production lineup also have extremely high gold content.
What’s even more extraordinary is that this movie is not a movie invested by Hollywood, but by Li Mu, and the initial investment amount has exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. What’s even more terrible is that this 100 million U.S. dollars of investment was made after all the starring actors themselves. With the salary reduced by more than half, and with such a large amount of funds, there is no doubt that this movie will be a super big production.
With so many traffic hot spots, even if the film has not yet announced its title, it is enough to make audiences around the world curious and deeply concerned. What’s more, Li Mu’s YY has been building momentum for this press conference and has already announced the film. Relevant information is distributed to every corner of the world.
Li Mu left the room early before the media reporters arrived and went directly to the hotel's banquet hall. At the press conference, Spielberg and other DreamWorks executives were already busy inside.
The level of this conference is very high. Except for the small number of people on site, it is basically not inferior to every developer conference of Apple. The entire background of the stage is a huge Chinese word "Flying Tigers" and the English "Flying Tigers". The name is "Flying-Tigers". In addition, the background images are all real photos of the Flying Tigers during World War II. The largest one is a black and white photo of Flying Tigers members posing in front of a fighter plane painted with a shark mouth. Photo, in this photo, some of the Flying Tigers are standing in front of the plane, and a few others are sitting on the plane. Everyone in the photo is smiling happily, but every one of them is ready at any time. Prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese army in the sky.
Li Mu walked along the stage left and right, and was filled with emotion when he saw the black and white photos. Among them were not only the faces of Americans, but also the faces of the Chinese Flying Tigers, Chinese farmers, and ordinary Chinese soldiers. , Li Mu didn’t know how many of the people in these photos were still alive, but he just felt that he should show the greatest respect to every face in these photos.
Either they fought bloody battles with the Japanese army to defend China, some were injured, and some gave their lives; or they had suffered in this torturous war of aggression. Even in the black and white photo, a Chinese peasant woman holding her arms in her arms The ignorant children must have suffered the devastation and suffering of the war decades ago. In that war, 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, and countless property losses were suffered. The suffering of a nation is far beyond these photos. I can’t explain it, but even these few photos are enough to make people feel sad.
Li Mu was looking at the photos in a trance when someone suddenly shouted in English: "Pull-Up!"
After saying that, the dark red silk cloth was suddenly pulled up from under the background pictures, blocking these pictures bit by bit until they were all covered.
Li Mu was a little stunned. At this time, Spielberg had arrived at Li Mu's side and explained: "This is to create some suspense. After you announce the name of the movie on the spot, our staff will release these blocks in an instant. "
Li Mu nodded, and then he remembered that Spielberg had communicated the details with him yesterday. At today's press conference, he would give a speech, introduce the causes and consequences of the birth of the film and the background of the era, and then announce the name of the film, followed by Chennault. His daughter, as well as two surviving American Flying Tigers, came to introduce the war that was unknown in the United States.
After their speeches are over, Spielberg will briefly introduce the planning details of the film, and talk about his views and feelings about the film. Then the leading actors of the film will introduce themselves one by one. Although they all followed the emotional path, Li Mu and Spielberg knew very well that they were not playing the emotional card.
Just like Spielberg's "Schindler's List", the whole movie is devoted to him and the strong pathos of that period of history, but the movie is not using the emotional card to win the sympathy of others. The two movies are here. Very similar in one point.
Both Li Mu and Spielberg want the world to understand this true history and let them know that the Chinese people experienced such tragic sufferings and made such heroic sacrifices decades ago, and a few American pilots also For the freedom and peace of the people of this country, I traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country to fight for justice!
Li Mu was filled with tears in his heart. The heavy history gave him an unparalleled strong sense of mission. He touched the background wall behind him through the thick silk cloth and murmured to himself with red eyes: "Today, I will definitely let that person The dusty history of this period spreads all over the world, and it will definitely let the whole world know the sacrifices made by the Chinese people to resist aggression and for world peace!"
