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 previous life, he has good looks, acting skills, and a spirit of daring to fight, which is indeed a benchmark that many stars need to learn.

But in this life, he has different statuses, different heights, and different perspectives to look at problems, which led him to watch the movie "The Last Samurai", and he also had a deeper understanding and realized the deeper intention of this movie.

In this case, in order to destroy this movie and destroy the positive spread of the bushido spirit in the world, Li Mu sacrificed a Tom Cruise, which is already irrelevant in his opinion, and Tom Cruise is not innocently implicated, as a star, as a public figure, he should know more about history than the public, he should know about the crimes against humanity committed by Japan in the middle of World War II, and he should know that the bushido spirit he admires is the culprit who contributed to those war atrocities.

In this case, to make such a movie, he should be responsible for his own actions, even if his acting career is ruined in the future, Li Mu does not have the slightest pity for him, let alone the slightest guilt.

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

Tomorrow's press conference is extremely important for "The Flying Tigers", and if it can engage and impress audiences through the film's lineup, story, and real history, then the film is halfway there.

At this time, Spielberg said with a serious face: "I invited Mr. Chennault's daughter, born to him and his first wife, she will also attend our press conference tomorrow, she is too old, I originally just hoped that she would allow us to shoot this film, but I was not ready to invite her to the press conference, but it was particularly coincidental that she just made a special trip to China last year because of her father's history, in her own words, to China, After learning about the hardships and tribulations suffered by Huaxia in the Anti-Japanese War, she really understood what her father did back then, so she was also very excited that her father's deeds could be made into a movie, and insisted on attending this press conference, she said that she wanted to tell Americans in person how cruel the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression her father participated in. ”

Li Mu didn't expect Chennault's descendants to 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 has not yet arrived in Los Angeles, but her son's home is not far from Los Angeles, so she went to her son's house first, and his son will drive with her early tomorrow morning." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then please do a good job of reception, and you must not let the old man feel any discomfort." ”

As he spoke, Li Mu asked again: "Does Chennault have any other descendants?"

"His second wife is still alive and has been living in the United States, and I have been in contact with her, but I didn't invite her to the conference," Spielberg said. ”

Li Mu then thought that Chennault married a Chinese woman in Huaxia back then, but he didn't expect the old man to be alive, and when he heard that Spielberg didn't invite her to the press conference, he asked in surprise: "Why?"

Spielberg said: "Ms. Chen Xiangmei is of Chinese descent, I think if she attends the press conference to dictate the history of the Americans assisting the Chinese in the war of resistance, it will not be convincing enough for Westerners, and I am also worried that if someone makes a fuss about this, the real purpose of attacking you is mixed with political and racial intent, but if it is Chennault's daughter, it will be much more credible and acceptable to Westerners, and there will be a lot less chance of being caught by others." ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, Spielberg's consideration was right, although he did not explicitly state his racial and political propaganda intentions, but he must be aware of such a smart person, if this time should indeed avoid being caught, even if the history is true, excessive whitewashing or transitional interpretation may cause rejection, this time should indeed be slightly disguised, if tomorrow's press conference is all Americans except for himself, then for Westerners, the persuasion will be much greater。

After basically finalizing 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 drinking party in the largest living room of his luxury suite.

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 glanced up at Tom Hanks and Leonardo, who were chatting not far away, and thought that Spielberg had something to say, and he had to avoid these two people and Anne Hathaway, but he still nodded and said to him: "There is a small study next to it, let's go there to talk." ”

“OK。 ”

After entering the study, Spielberg closed the door, and said to Li Mu in a relatively low voice, with a solemn face: "Mr. Li, before I came this time, a very outstanding friend specially contacted me, 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?

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

Li Mu was suddenly surprised.

Kerry had heard that in the 2004 US presidential election, he and President Bush, who was seeking re-election, were favored by the people of many Western countries and the media, but in the end they failed to win the election.

At this time, more than a year before the presidential election, Kerry took the initiative to see himself at this time, so you can guess without thinking about it, Kerry hopes to win over himself and use his huge influence in the Internet industry and his ability to project information on a global scale to help him win the election in the future.

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

"Clever!" Spielberg was not surprised at all that Li Mu was able to understand the motives of this, he said very calmly: "The whole of Hollywood is the hardcore of the Democratic Party, so we have always been helping the Democratic Party in the election as much as we can, Mr. Kerry is a very good person, if you meet him, you will definitely feel this way." ”

Speaking of this, Spielberg paused and said: "Actually, you don't have to care too much about his identity as a Democratic candidate, just treat it as an ordinary new friend to contact first, and other things will be talked about later." ”

Li Mu nodded, sure enough! His current influence has actually begun to make the candidates for the presidential race take the initiative to come to the door.

However, Li Mu's heart was not excited, but suddenly a little apprehensive.

He didn't expect that his influence has become so far-reaching that even the candidates for the U.S. presidential election have begun to try to recruit their extraordinary Internet power, which also means that he has begun to have the ability to change the world.

Then the problem is, it is better to say that you have changed the world in the field of the Internet, because you have enough ability, accumulation and grasp of the future to ensure that you can hold the changes you bring, but if you put this influence into the politics of other countries, especially the world's largest power like the United States, then the entire world situation will change in the future.

If I remember correctly, Kerry in the 2004 election, and Bush is only a little bit different, both sides in the competition mobilized all their resources, their own parties are also moving with all their might, in this case, the two ends of the balance is very likely to be a hundred tons and a hundred tons and 100 grams of difference, if at this time, with such a behemoth as Makino technology into this battlefield, then he may play a decisive role in the entire election.

If he really helped Kerry run for election and used the resources of Makino Technology to promote and canvass for him, Kerry would have a great chance of winning, but the question is, do you really want to wade into this troubled water?

It is true that if he really helps Kerry to run for election, once he is elected, he will certainly be able to reap a lot of political benefits in the United States in the future, and anyone who funds the election campaign is making a two-choice gamble, and if he wins, he will naturally get double the reward, which has become an open secret in the US presidential campaign.

But then the problem also arises: if Bush is not re-elected in 2004 and Kerry takes office, then the future political landscape of the United States will change dramatically from the course that Li Mu knew in his previous life.

If Kerry does well after taking office, then even if Obama comes out to run in 2008, it will not be possible to prevent Kerry's re-election, and only in 2012 will the next president be born, and at that time, who will be the president of the United States? Hillary Obama? Or is it another person who I have never heard of at all?

For a reborn person like Li Mu, the best situation is to change what he can control and obey what he can't control, so that he will not be reborn back into the biggest golden finger, that is, his familiarity with future development will be wasted.

If he helps Kerry run for election, then from 2004 onwards until 2016, all Li Mu's memories of American politics may 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 meddling in the Internet industry himself, and he will definitely be able to obtain countless long-term benefits from it.

Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head, since he came to the door, he didn't have to worry too much, he would see it first, if he really felt that he couldn't afford to wade into this troubled water, then stay out of the matter; if he really had this strength next year, it would not be impossible to directly enter the American political arena!
