Chapter 47: Vanity Fair (2)
"This case is a bit odd! Angelina. Julie did not admit to attacking Leslie, and in her confession, she and Leslie just ate and chatted before going home! ”
In a Los Angeles hospital, Li Wei stood in front of the glass window outside the operating room with his arms crossed, and the lawyer, Mr. Rich, was recounting the case to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's the deal with the fire extinguisher?" Li Wei suddenly had a picture of a movie in his mind, called "Three Days of Danger", which was the Australian star Russell. Crowe starred, his wife was slandered and murdered, and the tool of the crime was a fire extinguisher.
Rich explained: "Leslie was attacked by a fire extinguisher in the parking lot and there were eyewitnesses who saw her with Angelina. Julie had an altercation and the police searched Angelina after Leslie was injured. Julie's dorm room, Leslie's blood was found in her clothes, so an arrest warrant was issued! ”
Li Wei looked at Rich and asked, "Judging by your experience, is there anyone else who attacked Leslie?" ”
Richie shook his head, "There are witnesses at the scene, Angelina. It's hard for Julie to get rid of suspicion! ”
Li Wei whispered to himself: "Then we can only wait for Leslie to wake up!" ”
Just then, Tracy hurriedly walked over, "Got in touch, he promised to meet you, in the cafeteria outside the Los Angeles police department." ”
"Let's go!" Li Wei greeted Richie.
Tracy also wanted to follow, but Li Wei turned around and pointed at her and said, "You stay in the hospital, contact the security company, hire bodyguards for Leni immediately, don't let any media get close to her, and don't inform her grandmother and her mother in San Francisco for the time being!" ”
When I got to the restaurant, Jon. Voight was already waiting with his lawyer, the fifty-year-old man looked haggard, his face full of anxiety, his eyes focused on the vase on the table, and he looked a little glazed.
"I don't believe Angie would do such a thing, the murderer is someone else, I'm sure, Mr. Voight!" Li Wei didn't wait to sit down and began to speak.
Jon. Voight came to his senses, looked at Li Wei blankly, and said, "The key is that if you can't find evidence to clear her innocence, she will go to jail!" ”
Li Wei glanced at Jon. Voight's lawyer said, "Do you want to reduce the sentence by slandering Ms. Mann?" ”
"It's not like that!" Jon. Voight's expression was a little unnatural, and he explained: "They were arguing, and it was intense, Angie was out of control, she didn't mean it!" ”
Jon. Voight's lawyer added: "Witnesses at the scene said that Ms. Mann had scolded Miss Julie! ”
The atmosphere began to fall silent, and after a long while, Li Wei said, "All this is hypothetical, I hope that until Leslie wakes up, Mr. Voight, please bear with me for a while!" ”
"What if she'll never wake up!" Jon. Voight said heavily: "Angie is finished!" ”
"She's going to wake up!" Li Wei said earnestly: "And I promise, even if Angie is really the murderer, Leslie will not identify her, she will leave the police station safely and worry-free, I hope you can tell Angie the news!" ”
Jon. Voight looked at the lawyer, and if that was the case, it would be the best outcome.
With Jon. After Voight's farewell, Li Wei returned to the hospital again, and Lai was out of danger, and the doctor speculated that she should be able to wake up within three days, and Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
The news of Leslie's injury was reported by Lee Wei and Jon. Voith jointly blocked, but there were many reporters squatting in both the hospital and the police station, and Li Wei did not want to be interviewed, so he hired a team of bodyguards to follow him 24 hours a day.
The opening of "Hurricane Rescue" was scheduled for the early morning of the 25th, Li Wei left the hospital and rushed to the China Grand Theater, and he could not miss his public screening.
The car parked directly on the red carpet in front of the Grand Theater.
The moment Li Wei got out of the car, reporters surrounded him like a tide, and the flashing lights kept flashing, forming a brilliant halo in front of Li Wei.
This flash of glitz is like a microcosm of the city, a convergence of fame and fortune, and no one can escape the shroud of these two words.
Behind Li Wei was a dense crowd of fans, blocked out of the passage by a human wall formed by security, and shouted to him frantically, "Li, I want your autograph!" ”
"Lee, I will always support you! Turn around, I'm going to take a picture of you! ”
Li Wei couldn't refuse the fan's request, he turned around, stretched out his arms, and waved slowly, always keeping a bright smile on his face, but his heart was very tired, he was just a pretender.
He walked towards the Grand Theater, and his ears were filled with questions from reporters, "Lee, is Ms. Mann still in the hospital, how did she get hurt, and is the girl who was caught at the police station the murderer?" ”
"Li, you are a martial arts master, and you can't protect your girlfriend, does this mean that you are just pure juggling in the movie!"
Li Wei couldn't hear anything, he only had Lai Girl and Anji in his head, ravaging his nerves.
The bodyguards escorted him to the theater, where the screening took place, and he mechanically completed his scheduled work, then sat down in the luxurious box of the theater and began to watch his second film.
Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Chicago, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and all cities in the United States opened "Hurricane Rescue" tonight, this schedule is not a holiday, but there is no competition from any giant productions, and the final box office depends entirely on the quality of the film.
"Terminator 2", which was released in early July, has already swept $180 million at the box office in North America, and has won the overall box office champion this year until October.
Li Wei knows very well that "Terminator 2" will eventually enter the 200 million club, what will be the result of his "Hurricane Rescue"?
The executives of major film companies and action stars who are entrenched in Hollywood have all gathered in the boxes of nearby theaters without invitation. Lee's innovative action movie secret, and also eager to know how much box office "Hurricane Rescue" can scavenge, if it continues to be as successful as "Killer Tragedy", then the next time is when they throw an olive branch to Li Wei, as for the superstars, who knows what the hell they are doing.
The film opens soon.
When the litmus stone and the new line jump to the opening credits, the rhythmic drum beats and cuts to a freighter along the coast of Los Angeles, where a dozen armed kidnappers with guns stand scattered in the channel of the ship's plywood.
The scene cuts to the thick anchor chain that has penetrated into the sea, and a SWAT team member with a mask surfaces and secretly climbs onto the freighter with the anchor chain.
This is SWAT team member Brian played by Li Wei. Mills, Li Wei imitated the opening scene of "Team America 2", he didn't have a shield, but he had stronger fighting kung fu, starting with the first kidnapper, he swept all the way along the splint passage, it was a five-minute intensive fight, clean and neat.
In just a few minutes, the audience in the major movie theaters in North America has been completely detonated, and the fans of "Killer Tragedy" are not particularly shocked, but those who watch the movie for the first time are simply going to be shocked, the screams continue to stop, they have only seen old-fashioned muscular men fighting in the past, clumsy and stiff without appreciation, Li Wei's fighting is truly pleasing to the eye, completely subverting their perception of action movies.
etc. Brian. Mills cleaned the splint and his SWAT teammates came to his aid, and the captain approached him directly, saying fiercely, "What about your discipline Brian, why don't you follow my command?" Are you playing Superman, do you want me to give you a red cloak! ”
"Better add another pair of red panties, boss!" Brian. As Mills spoke, he took off his mask, prompting an immediate burst of laughter from the audience.
In a luxury theater in Beverly Hills, Governor Schwax and the king of the world, James Brown. Cameron sat in the same box, the two smoked cigars and watched the movie, and when the beginning was over, Governor Schwaz said expressionlessly: "This kid is awesome, he's such a movie genius, I'm going to invite him tomorrow, treat him to a light meal, and share our experience in the field of action!" ”
At the end of the official speech, Governor Schwa's words changed and asked the king of the world, "Jamie, will this film surpass us at the final box office?" ”
The king of the world's tone is not so firm: "The box office of this kind of action movie is falling very fast, and it is not suitable for long-term screening, I think 150 million is his biggest gain, which should be similar to his previous film!" ”
He then added, "It doesn't matter, Arnold! He is in competition with you, but your audience is different, and his films are only appealing to young people, but you can appeal to all ages! ”
Governor Schwaz nodded and asked again, "When will filming "True Lies" start?" ”
The king of the world stretched, "I want to take a break for a few years, and then I will prepare!" ”
"I'm worried about ......" Governor Schwaz frowned, "When I return to the big screen in a few years, the audience will no longer remember me!" ”
The king of the world laughed, patted Governor Schwaa on the shoulder and said, "It's just me resting, you can continue to work, there are so many directors in Hollywood, are you still worried that you won't get a suitable film contract?" ”
Governor Schwaz said seriously, "Jamie, I don't believe in the abilities of any director other than you!" ”
The King of the World smiled and did not answer.
