"Iron Man" continues to explode at the box office, and fans all over the United States go crazy for the film, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles...... In these big cities with box office powerhouses in the east and west, fans are excited to discuss this movie in various social venues: "I just love Tony Stark~~!" "The previous superhero movies were so rudimentary!" "American directors should learn from Li Xiaole! Don't always spin around in superficial stories. ”

When "Iron Man" was still in theaters, DVD rental companies who were not interested in this movie also began to be enthusiastic and began to contact Black Pearl Company every day, hoping to be the exclusive agent of the DVD rental contract of "Iron Man".

Among them are the top three companies in the industry, such as Bowei Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video, and Flower Ball Movie Home Entertainment.

After the six major unblockings of "Iron Man" were unlocked by the media, these home video companies couldn't wait to start contract negotiations with Black Pearl, because if they didn't act, other companies would take the lead, and in front of interests, everyone didn't care about the overall interests of the group.

On the other hand, due to the popularity of "Iron Man", those fans who still feel that they are not addicted to watching the movie have also begun to have a strong interest in Tom Cruise's previous movies, resulting in the DVD video of this "box office cow" increased by as much as 400% in a week.

At the same time, the two toys of Iron Man's MARK1 and MARK3 jointly designed by Black Pearl and Marvel have naturally become children's favorite gifts after the New Year.

The original first batch of 10,000 pieces of mass production has already been sold out in the United States, and the second batch of 20,000 pieces was also booked early, and on the official website of Marvel Toy Company, there was even a new batch of 15,000 units on the shelves, which was sold out in just 15 minutes.

The main reason for this is that toy scalpers have seen this opportunity, using various programs to buy on the Internet, hoarding "Iron Man" toys, and then selling them at a high price, resulting in this set of toys priced at $450 being directly raised to $680 on Amazon for sale, and ordinary buyers complained.

On the official website of Marvel Toy Company, rumors are also spreading: "What is this broken company, selling toys and buying futures~!" There are no goods in the physical stores, and the goods on the Internet have been bought by scalpers!! "In order to make money, Marvel deliberately limited the sale, sold and bought, the purpose is to squeeze ordinary consumers!!"

Under the boiling of this kind of public resentment, Marvel also can't say what futures they want to sell...... They really want to make hundreds of thousands of pieces out at once and distribute them all over the United States, but the two toys designed by Li Xiaole have a very high degree of craftsmanship, with only 20 sets of molds, and two sets have been scrapped due to full production in the processing plant...... The production capacity is even decreasing~!

The model designers of Marvel Toy Company now want to make products that are exactly the same as those molds made by Li Xiaole, but no matter how hard they try, they will encounter problems in various details......

To blame, we can only blame Li Xiaole for making these molds, and many of the key "arc processing process" data were not recorded at all, and the director only relied on the "feel" to polish it......

There is only one way to make more molds, and that is to let Li Xiaole personally re-check it, but this kind of idea can only be thought about by the senior management of Marvel Toys...... What are you kidding, a film director who shot a global box office of more than 400 million asked you to come here as a toy designer? Who's going to ask for it......

Marvel Toys didn't have the courage to open this mouth, and finally had no choice but to announce that the two "Iron Man" toy armors designed by Li Xiaole would become out of print, and the two toys would be discontinued after 20 sets of industrial molds were exhausted, and Marvel Toys would develop new molds to make cheaper simple versions of MARK1 and MARK3......

As soon as the news was released, the scalpers who hoarded toys were even more excited, and the price of the two toys on Amazon soared directly to $800......

This has also created a phenomenon that these two toys, which are about to go out of print, have become a status symbol for comic book fans, and everyone who buys it will wear this 1:1 steel suit to take pictures with great glory and show off on social networks.

Tony Stark, the bohemian superhero, has set off a unique trend in the United States and even the world, and many people are not only attracted by the charm of this handsome superhero, but also by the experience of the protagonist in Iraq in this movie, which evokes the pain caused by the United States and Iraq that has lasted for four years......

Li Xiaole and Tom Cruise, who were busy with film promotion work across the United States, suddenly received several strange emails.

"Mr. Li Xiaole (Tom Cruise), we are the XX of the Anti-Iraq War Committee, we are going to hold a parade, and we will take the anti-war idea of "Iron Man" as one of our themes this time, can you please speak for us? I'm sure it's also very good for the promotion of your film......"

For this kind of inexplicable email, Li Xiaole and Tom Cruise also took it seriously, thinking that it must be some kind of fan prank, so they didn't respond, but then things developed far beyond their expectations.

On January 18, massive anti-war marches erupted across the United States. In Washington, about tens of thousands of people braved the cold snap to gather at noon in front of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, just a few hundred meters away from the White House, and then passed the Lincoln Memorial, crossed the Potomac River, and walked to the Pentagon to hold a protest rally to protest against the Bush administration's immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

In San Francisco, tens of thousands of protesters rallied in front of San Francisco City Hall and walked to Dolores Park. The protesters included trade unionists and pastors, among others. In their slogans, they wrote: "Wall Street gets rich at the cost of the deaths of Iraqis and U.S. troops" and "Bomb Planting, Lower School Fees." Some protesters also recreated scenes of death to commemorate U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed in the Iraq war.

Hundreds of protesters also rallied in the rain in front of Philadelphia's Independence Hall to demand that President George W. Bush stop war funding and withdraw US troops from Iraq. They range from school-age children to the elderly......

At the same time, similar activity broke out in major cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Austin......

In the past, in addition to holding various slogans and shouting slogans with various slogans and the president's portrait, people would dress up as the Grim Reaper, zombies, and paint them with blood to show the damage and panic caused by the war......

BUT THIS TIME IT WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, THE ANTI-WAR ORGANIZERS EVERYWHERE SEEMED TO HAVE AGREED, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE TREND OF "IRON MAN", AN ANTI-WAR MOVIE, TO WEAR IRON MAN'S MARK3 ARMOR AND STAND IN THE FRONT ROW OF THE PROTEST, AND CARRY OUT A HUGE DEMONSTRATION......

And the parade of these wearing Iron Man MARK3, even included the famous Oscar-winning actress Jane? Fonda. As an anti-war star during the Vietnam War, Jane, who was in her seventies? Fonda first appeared at an anti-war rally after 34 years.

Simple? Outside of Fonda, Oscar-winning actor Sean? Pan, movie star Tim? Robbins, black leader Jesse? Jackson and other celebrities also participated in the parade, and Li Xiaole was also shocked when he learned the news, he didn't expect those invitation emails to be real...... I didn't expect these people to use "Iron Man" as a tool for them to express their anti-war ideas...... It seems that his works, which simply express his personal thoughts, have been over-interpreted by the public......

The vigorous anti-war march caused a huge sensation and immediately became a blockbuster news for all the media, and ABC's "AOL" program made a live report on it.

On the TV screen, a serious-looking black female reporter was on the road in front of the Pentagon in Washington, reporting to the crowd of protesters behind her, who could not see the camera:

"I'm Lisa Carty, a reporter on the ground, and I'm reporting from you in front of the Pentagon, and as you can see, more than 10,000 anti-Iraq protesters have gathered in front of the Pentagon at noon today to demonstrate against the federal government.

In fact, we all know that in previous years, there would be some protests in the United States on the anniversary of the start of the Iraq War in March, but surprisingly, this year this event was carried out earlier, and this time the anti-war wave was advanced, and this time the anti-war wave seems to be related to a recent movie "Iron Man", we can see that in the front row of the protest procession, there are dozens of protesters wearing Iron Man MARK3 armor leading them ......"

The black female ABC reporter came forward to interview the organizer of the event, Carlos Arrandondo, the "anti-war father."

This middle-aged man wearing MARK3 pushed a coffin "hearse" at the front of the line with a sad face.

The "anti-war father" tearfully held up a photo of his son and said sadly to the camera:

"My child is a U.S. Marine Corps soldier who died in Najaf, Iraq, in 2004 at the age of 20~...... If he had understood that our war was fundamentally wrong, and had already realized the lies of the Bush administration, then he would have lost his life in vain, and I hope that all the children will go and watch "Iron Man" and see what our country that sells force is doing...... Hopefully, war will never again occur anywhere in the world. ”
