Tom Cruise didn't expect to arouse such a strong public outrage on the Internet, and while panicking, he kept asking his agent: "What do you think I should do now? Is there any way to get back?"

The agent thought for a moment and said seriously: "Tom, I think the most important thing now is to put aside the involvement, netizens condemn you for taking on such a movie, then you quickly make a statement, just say that you don't know that this movie is a film that celebrates extreme bushido, and the Japanese culture you like does not include the inhumane spirit of extreme bushido." ”

Tom Cruise hurriedly said, "No problem, I can write a statement here, but how much do you think this statement can help?"

"I don't dare to assure you, maybe it's just a little relief, maybe it doesn't work at all, it depends on whether your statement can convince these angry viewers," the agent said. ”

Speaking of this, the agent hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Tom, to tell you the truth, in my opinion, now we have no possibility of recovery, so it is best not to have hope of recovery, the most important thing we should do is to stop the loss in time, and it is best to immediately announce the withdrawal from the filming of this movie, and at the same time apologize to the people of the whole country and pray for their forgiveness." ”

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

The agent blurted out: "When are you still thinking about these, if you are a little later, wait for the views of netizens to upgrade, and then even if you quit, it will be useless!"

Tom Cruise said irritably: "I'll write a statement first, you 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 help you make a statement? Even if they are willing to help you publish, they will definitely target you with editorial comments." ”

Tom Cruise asked, "What then?!"

The agent was silent for a long time, and then said: "By the way, you can see if you can find Li Mu to 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 for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, 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, it should bring some recovery to your reputation." ”

"Spielberg?!" Tom Cruise suddenly seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and immediately said excitedly: "Okay! Then I'll contact him now!"

Li Mu didn't expect that Tom Cruise would ask Spielberg to ask him for help.

Spielberg pleaded on the phone: "Mr. Li, Tom is a very good actor, didn't you also tell me two days ago that you are very interested in him and hope to cooperate with him? ”

Li Mu said to Spielberg without hesitation: "Steven, I have already learned about Tom Cruise, please help me tell him, I will never agree to his request! At the same time, on behalf of the 1.3 billion compatriots in China, I would like to express my strong condemnation of what he has done! The American people cannot forget the harm caused to them by the extreme bushido spirit, and the 1.3 billion compatriots in China will never forget that anyone who stands up for the extreme bushido spirit is our enemy!"

Spielberg didn't expect Li Mu's reaction to this matter to be so excessive, and he immediately gave up continuing to intercede for Tom Cruise, but 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 around the world that have suffered Japanese aggression. ”

As he spoke, Spielberg added: "Everyone is responsible for their own actions, and this time it should be a profound 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 couldn't help him, which instantly shattered the glimmer of hope that Tom Cruise had just generated!

Even Li Mu has such a big opinion about himself, it seems that he really stabbed the 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 speech on the Internet, in other words, he is now the world's best known how to hack a person on the Internet.

The title of Li Mu's new article is "Tom Cruise, how many compatriots' blood has been stained with the katana in your hand?", and the article was written in a questioning tone, 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 pick up a katana and sing the praises of extreme bushido in "The Last Samurai", have you ever thought about how many of your compatriots' heads were cut off to the ground by the katana in your hand?

When you were impressed by Japanese bushido in "The Last Samurai" and were willing to fight to defend the extreme spirit of bushido, 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 has made our stars have no discipline to speak of in order to make money, and celebrities, as public figures, shouldn't they have more requirements for themselves and let themselves assume more role models in society? Shouldn't we have a detailed understanding of the plot and historical background of the film before taking over a movie? If even this most basic professional quality is missing, how far will the industry degenerate? ”

"Tom Cruise, as a public figure, if he took over this film without knowing enough about history, it is enough to prove that the overall quality of the actor group needs to be improved, and if he took on this film with full knowledge of history, then his motives are even more heinous, because the pain of the country is worthless in his opinion. Either way, it's unforgivable!"

At the end of the article, Li Mu also made an analogy: "If one day a certain actor takes over a movie that praises the Nazis, then please remember that there are two most terrifying, in addition to the actor who is willing to sing the praises of the Nazis, there is also the company that invested in making this movie!"

As soon as this article came out, it quickly received the support and applause of the vast majority of netizens, who raised their hands in agreement with the views of the article, and quickly continued to spread the article to the whole network.

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

At this time, Tom Cruise has been completely forced into a corner by Li Mu, and he has no ability to resist at all, and the result Li Mu wants is for Tom Cruise to find any justification, excuse and rhetoric in the face of the criticism of the whole society!

In this way, he continued to push behind the scenes, continued to put pressure on Tom Cruise, and finally left Tom Cruise with only one choice: apologize and withdraw from the movie.

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

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

……

In order to ensure the success of this matter, Li Mu decided to start an all-out war!

Before this, Li Mu used various means to hide his identity in order to trigger this incident on the Internet, which was to avoid exposing bugs in major logic, but now, the incident has become hot on the Internet, and at this time, he can participate in it openly.

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

First, from now on, comprehensively and fully follow up on the events related to "The Last Samurai", and carry out 24-hour rolling reports on the YY English website, and at the same time, the headlines of the pop-up news in the next three days will be reserved for this incident, and the influence of this incident must be pushed to the extreme;

Second, invite well-known Chinese and American authors to write articles about this incident, and the arguments of the articles must be extremely clear, and everything must be based on "vigorously condemning those who promote the extreme spirit of bushido";

Subsequently, Li Mu made a phone call to Wang Nan, the editor-in-chief in charge of the YY Chinese portal, and asked him to vigorously publicize the incident on the YY Chinese website and YY's daily push in the Chinese region;

In addition, Li Mu called Zhao Kang, who was busy with the Internet café chain project, and set a request for him: After the YY Chinese Network vigorously publicized this matter, it was necessary to immediately mobilize the water army to promote the situation on the Internet, and it was necessary to arouse the enthusiasm of domestic netizens for discussing this incident, and at the same time find a way to guide them to support American netizens on the Internet.

The first half of Li Mu's request for Zhao Kang was very clear, but he was a little confused about the second half of the demand, and asked Li Mu: "Solidarity with American netizens?

Li Mu said with a smile: "It's very simple, we must find a way to mobilize Chinese netizens who can speak English to the Internet in the United States, so that they can give time to add fuel to the fire, and leave messages on the relevant content on the American Internet to clearly express their support, and not only support, but also adopt certain speech skills." ”

Saying that, Li Mu gave an example: "For example, let all netizens add a sentence in front of the posts of American netizens: The delegation of Chinese netizens comes to support, and justice will win! Let American netizens know that in this matter, Chinese netizens are comrades-in-arms in the same trench as them, and this large-scale move is to support them and support justice!"

What Li Mu wants to do now is to take this opportunity to make Huaxia and American netizens become close comrades-in-arms, which is also laying a good mass foundation for the future "Flying Tigers" in advance!
