Chapter 26: It's Business

Li Wei wanted to go to his mother Laura, but when he went out to look, a bunch of flashes were aimed at him in unison, and he kept shooting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The reporters were very professional, and they surrounded them like flies, "Li, I heard that you worked as a stripper, how is that job, does it excite you?" ”

"I heard that you entered the juvenile detention center at the age of thirteen, because you set fire to the library, when you lit the fire, did you use a match or a lighter, Li?"

"Lee, did you beat up a prison guard when you were in prison? How is it beaten, is it with a fist or a nunchuck? ”

There was a crackling burst of punches.

"Your kung fu can easily knock down Tyson, punching me is a crime, Lee, don't be impulsive!"

……

Li Wei was forced back home, he became popular, popular, but in an alternative way.

Since Monday's box office list was announced, Hollywood media first launched an investigation against Li Wei, but there was little movement, and most people in the United States did not know about him, until the list began to spread, and the entire North American press was like a fishy cat, seized the opportunity to spread joy, and began to broadcast Li Wei's strange resume 24 hours a day.

The three major bull newspapers, which have always been high, were all alarmed, and generously gave Li Wei a large column.

At this moment, it is difficult for Li Wei not to be popular.

The New York Times captioned a picture of Li Wei holding a nunchuck, with the caption:

"He's done this in a ballroom, and he's still naked!"

The Washington Post also took the unusual path, editing out the scene of Li Wei being hung upside down in chains in the movie as the headline:

"His prison is not fake, he really lived in it, a total of four times, not counting the two years in the juvenile detention center!"

The last is the "Los Angeles Times", after all, it is a local media, and it is more polite to Li Wei, and he did not hang his picture, but took a photo of Sister Lai, commenting:

"He doesn't deserve her!"

Seemingly overnight, the American elite began to denounce him as a violent criminal who came out of the slums, and his background was rejected by the upper class with one voice, and he was recognized as an uneducated clown.

Since the three major newspapers in North America dominated the trend of public opinion, his relatives and friends have also begun to be harassed.

Hospital in Rowland Heights, Los Angeles.

Mrs. Vicky is being interviewed by reporters,

The reporter asked her, "How long has it been since your stepson visited his father?" ”

Mrs. Vicky was a little nervous, and she replied: "I haven't been here for two months since he gave me money last time!" ”

"Give you money? How much is Madame? ”

Mrs. Vicky was honest, "A total of 30,000 dollars, which he earned from a guest!" ”

"Guest, what kind of guest, male or female, how big is it, what is it called, where does the family live? Madame, could you please be more detailed? ”

Mrs. Vicky was dizzy by a series of questions, at this time, Susan suddenly walked in from outside the door, and when she saw so many reporters, she immediately turned into a lion cub, "Get out, who let you in, you are trespassing on the private house, I want to sue you!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and struck.

"Let's go! He's Will. Lee's sister can knock down an elephant with one punch! "The reporters fled.

Susan closed the door, came to her mother, and said, "Mom, how many times have you told you, don't answer any reporter's questions in the future, don't say a word!" ”

Mrs. Vicky was very dissatisfied, "Your brother is already a big star, why don't you buy us a house, don't change the ward for your father, and don't send you to a noble school!" ”

"My brother ......" Susan's face was a little strange, she said in a slur manner: "Mom, my brother is in trouble, many media are slandering him, he is in a very bad situation now, and I don't know if anyone will help him through this difficulty!" ”

……

The 'Modern Ballroom' in the north of Los Angeles.

It is a retro entertainment venue, there are no pole dancing and striptease performances, the guests are all middle-aged and elderly people, and the program includes folk singing, folk dance, burlesque stage plays, and has nothing to do with pornography.

In the dressing room backstage of the ballroom, Ms. Li's mother, Laura, is drawing her eyebrows, and she will soon appear on stage to appear in a burlesque adaptation of the Broadway classic "Chicago."

But Laura is a little absent-minded, she hasn't seen her son for more than three months, tomorrow is his son's birthday, and she doesn't know if his son will contact her.

When she was distracted, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, Laura turned her head and saw that it was Mary, her dance partner who had been with her for twenty years, Mary was fat, only played a harlequin, and her face was very happy, she held a newspaper in her hand, and said with a serious face: "Honey, do you know what I found?" ”

"Are you literate, Mary?" Laura turned around and continued her makeup, "What else could there be but the ink!" ”

Mary didn't mind her meanness and continued: "This is a newspaper left by old Charlie with a picture on it, which belongs to our Will, and I read it again, and guess what is written on it?" The newspapers even said that our Will was a stripper and a gambler-born bad breed! ”

Laura snatched the newspaper, and before she could browse it, the door of the dressing room was suddenly pushed open, and four or five reporters with cameras in their hands poured in, first slapping Laura for a while, and then saying, "Mrs. Laura, you are Will. Li's mother: Right, did your son have violent tendencies since he was a child, and where did he learn his kung fu? ”

Laura immediately stood up, put her hand into the closet next to her, pulled out a rifle from it, pointed the muzzle of the gun at the reporters, and said in a shrill voice: "Boys, my son's kung fu learned from his mother!" ”

She raised her gun to the sky.

"Boom!" A bang.

"I'll give you three seconds to disappear in front of me, or I'll give you a taste of bullets!"

……

In a villa in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Miss Angie slept until noon, she stretched out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen to get a bottle of milk, drank it all in one gulp, and then lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa.

As soon as she turned on the TV, she heard a conversation that made her go berserk.

A girl with sunglasses appeared on the TV, it was Sister Lai, she was walking on the road in a hurry, and was suddenly caught up by a camera team, a reporter took the microphone, approached Sister Lai, and asked: "Ms. Mann, what made you accept Will. Lee's invitation to participate in that violent movie? ”

Sister Lai didn't say a word, she just walked with her head down, her rented house was nearby, since Li Wei became popular, she also suffered an unwarranted disaster, there were a large number of paparazzi blocking her all day long, and she almost collapsed.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the reporter continued to ask, "Ms. Mann, I heard that your relationship is very close, is his private life also very violent?" ”

"He's not violent at all, he's gentle, he's the gentlest man I've ever seen in my life!" Sister Lai suddenly stopped her pace, pointed to the camera, and said coldly: "Why do you slander him like a mad dog, he just wants to make a little money to help his family, and he hasn't hurt anyone!" He's only nineteen years old this year, don't you have to force him to commit suicide before you willingly! ”

After she finished speaking, she continued to move forward, just took two steps and suddenly turned back, stared at the camera and added: "You guys are really a bunch of cold-blooded bastards, God will punish you!" ”

Although the reporter was scolded, he didn't take it to heart at all, he caught up with Sister Lai with an arrow, and asked persistently: "You actually defend him like this, Ms. Mann, are you his girlfriend?" ”

"As long as he nods, I'm willing to be his girlfriend at any time!"

Seeing this, Anji grabbed the remote control and smashed it, and said hatefully: "You are dreaming, I am his girlfriend!" You shameless one, Bichi! ”

Anji slowly closed her eyes and said to herself: "We have only known each other for an hour, and he proposed to me without hesitation, it's so cool, I will definitely marry him in the future!" ”

"Anji, you're smoking again!" A middle-aged female voice suddenly came.

Anne was startled, she turned around and looked, and couldn't help muttering, Mom, when did you come back, why didn't you make any sound at all?

……

In Li Wei's rented room, Tracy was sitting on the sofa at a loss, she looked so tired that she could barely open her eyes.

"What did you say a few days ago, you have already made a dot, why did those media shake out all my old bottom so quickly!"

Li Wei stood in front of Tracy, he was inexplicable, and overnight, he was very honored to be the target of the entire American media attack.

"Tracy, someone is framing me, right, who is he? Or who are they? ”

"Who else could it be? The filmmakers of the four films released in the past two days! ”

Li Wei couldn't imagine: "I have no grievances with them, why would they attack me!" ”

Tracy said dejectedly: "They're going to knock you off the list, you fall, they go up, it's as simple as that!" As soon as you come down, public opinion will stop attacking you, they only want the box office, they want dollars, not your life, it's business, Will! ”

"Falk their business!" Li Wei scolded, "You just watch like this, we have to fight back immediately!" ”

"You need to calm down, Will!" Tracy shouted, "We don't have the strength to fight back against them, I've urged the bosses of the new line to let them help, but they are all a bunch of bad breeds, they don't dare to go against those few filmmakers!" ”

The atmosphere fell silent, and Tracy waited for Li Wei to ease his emotions before he said slowly: "These four studios control Hollywood and control the media in the United States, they are century-old stores, we can't afford to provoke any of them, let alone four of them!" ”
