After interviewing the organizers, the black female reporter stopped in the protest line, and a middle-aged woman holding a sign that read "Go home, child's door" asked her with a microphone:

"This lady, why are you participating in this protest because you have family members on the battlefield in Iraq?"

"No, I don't have any family and friends on the battlefield in Iraq~" The middle-aged woman said with some embarrassment.

"Then why did you come to this protest?" The female reporter asked with the microphone.

"This ...... In fact...... It's because I went to see "Iron Man" with my child, and we both think that the U.S. government is using excessive force in the Middle East, which is very incorrect, and my child is also very angry about it, and he happened to see a protest on a website recruiting with a poster of "Iron Man" when he went online, so he came, and I actually came mainly to see him not to let him have an accident...... "The mother was obviously a little embarrassed.

The program director cut the screen back to the live broadcast room, and the white male anchor said with a serious expression: "Thank you Lisa Carty for the live report, and now, let's listen to the opinions of Vietnam veterans and sociology experts." ”

As soon as the screen turns, it cuts to a gray-haired white old man, and the subtitle below reads "Maureen Dooley, 67 years old, participated in the Vietnam War, anti-combatant." The old man said helplessly and angrily:

"When I participated in the anti-Vietnam War in 67, I saw that the people around me gathered together to protest against the government because they had the pursuit of values in their hearts, but now young people, many of them are impulsively going to the streets to express their opinions because of a movie, which is very naïve, they should go to school well and learn more about the world~ and then judge the war, a superhero movie can't explain anything."

The camera cuts back to an interview with a sociology professor, and the expert, who wears eyes and looks like an old pedant, says with some anger:

"Today's film works should focus more on expressive art, rather than using this medium to express the director's own political views, such as "Iron Man", which obviously has a political tendency to incite public opinion, should be restrained at all, otherwise it is very dangerous to allow a foreign director to convey distorted values to young people in the United States......

Of course, ABC is not advertising "Iron Man", but because of the advance of this anti-war march, a large part of the reason is because of the anti-war ideas promoted by the movie "Iron Man", most young people originally did not pay attention to these social topics that adults are enthusiastic about, just because of Tony Stark's classic lines, everyone has pointed the finger at the US government.

In particular, Tony Stark's quote: "It has been said that the best weapon is never fired." But I don't agree, because in my opinion, the best weapon needs to be fired only once. That's what my father did, and that's what America did. They have all worked so far ~~"

This line has been regarded by countless anti-Iraq war people as a ridicule of Li Xiaole and the crimes of the Bush administration, since "the best weapon is to fire only once." But why is the war in Iraq still over after nearly four years?

Not only that, but even many hard-line Republican politicians who strongly supported the Iraq War have begun to quote lines from "Iron Man" to show that the US government's position is actually the same as that of Tony Stark, and Republican Congressman John Conyles, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in a speech:

"I think the public completely misunderstands the work of the government, we don't start wars to cause suffering, on the contrary, we are to maintain peace, just like Tony Stark said, 'If you want not to be bullied, you have to be thicker than others', and we should increase our investment in the military industry now, until we really have absolute power like those superheroes, and the safety of our American people will be guaranteed......

And the technologies shown in Iron Man are not fictional, and our military research institute is currently working on similar projects, such as the Marine Corps is assembling 3 "Tactical Assault Light Armor...... It will be used in real combat as soon as 2018. ”

As soon as the camera turned, several mechanical arms similar to those in "Iron Man" appeared, processing metal sheets with a very scientific and technological scene.

And the media also hyped up this news: "The real-life version of Iron Man, under development", CBS News reported on this:

"Military sources say that this set of light armor, if successfully assembled, will revolutionize the survivability and other capabilities of special operations personnel, the 'tactical assault light armor' is designed to enable elite troops to better cope with assault missions, and reduce casualties, this armor is likely to use "liquid metal" technology, through the induction of electric current and magnetic fields, this material can be cured in 1 millisecond to resist bullets or explosive fragments.

Tactical Assault Light Armor "will also be able to monitor the user's condition in real time, and if the user is injured, the armor will automatically provide heat, air, and oxygen. At the same time, a project that can help users stop bleeding is also being designed......"

And in this report, CBS did not shy away from using clips from "Iron Man".

In this sudden anti-war craze in the United States, "Iron Man" seems to have become an unavoidable topic, and Li Xiaole and Tom Cruise have inevitably become hotly discussed figures, especially Li Xiaole, who has become a revolutionary leader in Hollywood in the minds of young people after making high-profile speeches, and his influence has gradually expanded to all levels of American society because of this anti-war demonstration.

It seems that I don't know when every fictional story in film and television directed by Li Xiaole will have a greater or lesser impact on the real world, such as the "college dropout wave" brought about by "Life Remote Control", and the blockbuster doomsday panic remarks in South America when "The Walking Dead" was broadcast, and now even making a superhero movie that has nothing to do with reality has triggered a huge upsurge of the current "anti-Iraq war......

This also makes Li Xiaole feel amazing.

A phenomenal wave, as an article in the "Los Angeles Times" said, in the third work in the United States, the 24-year-old Chinese kid is finally about to burst out with the energy of a really great director! Just like Steven Spielberg, who launched "Jaws" at the age of 29, and George Lucas, who launched "Star Wars" at the age of 33, his future is limitless.

In the fourth week of its release, although the box office performance of "Iron Man" declined, "only" in North America got 31.29 million, but under the high publicity brought by the anti-war upsurge, "Iron Man" made great progress in the market in 52 countries around the world, and won the overseas box office of 97.82 million US dollars within a week~! broke Li Xiaole's own single-week box office record!

And after this result was confirmed, Li Xiaole finally realized his "wild words", with a North American box office of more than 300 million and a global box office of more than 500 million!! Excited and proud himself, he replied to his arrogant declaration on Facebook with a "smiley" symbol, which immediately sparked more than 30,000 comments and more than 10,000 retweets.

This time, not only the American fans were convinced, but also the Chinese fans who had logged on to Facebook to support Li Xiaole raised their eyebrows, and they were all excited and carried away, and expressed their excitement with a few simple words that they only knew!!

A Beijing movie fan named Lin Feng spelled out in confusing grammar: "look~!americans~~~What-is-called-Niubi!! this-is-Niubi~！！！ (Look~!) Yankee! What is awesome! That's!! ）”

Countless Chinese movie fans excitedly replied "Niubi!!" on Facebook. This word made American netizens look at each other, and they all wondered what the word "Niubi" meant?

After figuring out what the word meant, the word unexpectedly became an internet buzzword in just a few days, and the word "Niubi" was used to describe something or someone who was very powerful......

Even in the American game "World of Warcraft", in the past, American players would usually call "nihao~" to show friendship when they saw Chinese players, but now they have also changed to "Niubi~", which makes many Chinese players feel more cordial.

In four weeks, "Iron Man" received 5 in style. With a global box office of $67.6 billion, as long as you know a little about movies, you will no longer doubt that it can't enter the Heart 10 global box office club......

Even those who have never been interested in film and television, when they open the newspaper and turn on the TV, they will inevitably hear the names "Iron Man" and Li Xiaole.

This is a new miracle that is happening, a phenomenon that a new era has arrived! A phenomenon that can only be triggered by movies!

The six major film companies all feel very desperate, although they still don't deal with Black Pearl Lianmei, but they can no longer stop the growth of this competitor, Black Pearl Lianmei fortunately only has 4000 screens to be released, if the market is opened, I can't believe how much box office "Iron Man" will get this time......

Under the panic caused by this sense of crisis, the six major companies decided to draw a line with Black Pearl Company, and absolutely did not allow its movies to touch their own theaters.

But Black Pearl Lianmei is now full of confidence, and has begun to announce various new film plans on the agenda, such as the Avengers series of "Hulk", "Captain America", "The Expendables" produced by Stallone, "Twilight" with Summit Pictures, and "Pulp Fiction" with Lionsgate......

A series of films of different genres were put on the agenda, and it also let everyone see the ambition of Black Pearl Lianmei.

At the moment when "Iron Man" is taking the world by storm, now all fans and industry peers have a question, will there be the names of "Iron Man" and Li Xiaole in the announcement of the Oss nomination on January 23......?
