"First Blood" was forced to fall to the fifth place in the North American box office list due to negative public opinion in society, and at this time, "Raging Bull", which was filmed by Luen Mei Company as early as two years ago, became the new favorite. 【】

"Raging Bull" has the same plot as "Rocky" in some ways, such as telling the story of a boxer, but "Bull" can't be compared to "Rocky", Rocky is a classic image seven years ago, and Stallone has made a hero in the hearts of Americans, just like the Rambo they see now, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The Bull" is based on the world's middleweight boxing champion Jack Brown. Adapted from the true story of La Motta, it is not an inspirational route, but an exposure of the dirty inside story behind the ring. De Niro's acting skills are much stronger than Stallone's.

This movie was filmed in 1979, but considering the strong influence of "Rocky", Luen Mei Company has not taken it out for release, and now the image of "First Blood" has been smeared, so Luen Mei Company took it out to join in the fun, but I didn't expect the box office performance to be good within a week of release, and there were as many as 3 million.

So Luen Mei immediately paid attention to the public relations work of "Bull", and now "Bull" has entered the second tier of the Oscar competition, which greatly boosted the box office of "Bull".

"Bull, rush up and kill that Italian stallion!" Luen Mei shouts slogans like this every day, the tragic lesson of "Heaven's Gate" in the previous year has made Luen Mei even worse, all their hopes are now pinned on "Bull", they don't ask for anything else, as long as they can reach half of the current box office results of "First Blood", it also means that Luen Mei can still persevere!

All the Hollywood giants who represented "First Blood" couldn't sit still, and called Wang Xiaohu in Hong Kong every once in a while, such as the representative of Paramount, who directly proposed to terminate the earlier agency contract.

“ok！ As you wish! Wang Xiaohu said goodbye to Paramount cleanly and happily, and the crisp and neat energy made people speechless.

Winterdur called Wang Xiaohu on the morning of March 30, and it was night in Hong Kong, and Wang Xiaohu did not sleep but rushed to work on a new script.

"Old Wen, what time is it over there?" Wang Xiaohu didn't pay attention to Winterdur's anxious mood, but asked directly what time it was.

"Around 11 a.m." "Boss, you shouldn't say goodbye to Paramount, knowing that their 'Everyman' this year has a good chance of being the best picture at the Oscars," Winterdur said. ”

"So what? Old Wen, they can win the Oscar and it won't help us at all! I don't want you to ask such stupid questions in the future! In a few hours, everything will change! ”

"Yes, the Oscars will start in a few hours!" Winterdur said dejectedly.

"Don't forget that your boss has another layer of identity, I know the Oriental Immortal Art and can predict the future."

"Hell oriental immortal, okay, boss, I feel a little tired lately, I need to rest for a few days." Winterdur muttered.

Winterdur this old guy is like this, as long as the company develops well, he is full of confidence, once he encounters a problem that cannot be crossed, he will be a "deserter", Wang Xiaohu did not blame Lao Wen for this, in fact, years of cooperation let him know Lao Wen very well, if the situation is reversed, Lao Wen will be like a workaholic full of clockwork.

Wang Xiaohu looked at the glass outside the window, raised his hand to make a pistol, and said "pop~~" six times in his mouth, and then buried himself in writing the script with satisfaction

On March 30, 1981, at 2:25 p.m. U.S. time, Ronald Brown, who had just served as President of the United States for 70 days. Wilson. Reagan made his way to the Hilton Hotel in Washington. He was invited by the AFL-CIO Construction Union to address thousands of union representatives.

After his speech, Reagan walked out of the hotel. He smiled and waved to the crowd across the road. An Associated Press reporter stopped him to ask a question, and White House press secretary Brady walked over to help the president answer the reporter's question.

That's when the "Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"What the hell is that?" Reagan to personal guard Jerry. Parr asked.

No one answered President Reagan's words, and he was greeted by three rapid gunshots.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A blonde youth, mixed in with the group, crouched down, pulled out his revolver, and fired six explosive bullets at President Reagan.

After the gunshots rang out, White House agents quickly lunged on the killer and used their bodies to block the president, thus deflecting the last few shots. The injured Reagan was taken to a nearby hospital for resuscitation.

There was chaos in front of the Hilton Hotel, and the president's press secretary, James Brown. Brady collapsed in a pool of his own blood. His assistant David. Prowsperley ran back to the Hilton Hotel to find a phone number and called Deputy Press Secretary Larry. Spike, gasping for breath, said, "Someone shot at us." Brady was shot and fell. I don't know how the president is now. ”

"Oh my God, we've had a terrorist attack, another secret agent and a Washington police officer have been shot, and we need protection!"

The sound of police cars, shouting, and chaotic scenes have cast dark clouds over the United States.

"U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who had just taken office, was attacked by unknown gunmen and unfortunately died."

"At present, the police have controlled the attackers, and the motive for the assassination of the president is unknown!"

"At 2 p.m. U.S. time, President Reagan is outside the Hilton Hotel"

The time of President Reagan's assassination quickly spread in the United States in just half an hour, and the 53rd Academy Awards, which had been prepared for a long time, had to be stopped!

Meanwhile, in the White House, Deputy Press Secretary Spix ran into Jim. Baker's office. The chief of staff immediately informed the cabinet officials to go to the Situation Study Room, and then went to the hospital with several internal affairs officials. He left with Secretary of State Al A. Hagrid missed.

Baker and his men rushed to the hospital to ask a few questions, then informed the White House: "It's very bad. They don't know if he'll survive......"

On the other end of the phone, in the Situation Research Room, Spix continued to record: "...... Doctors thought he would die from bleeding too much. I think we're watching him die. Blood pressure drops rapidly. ”

"Did you inform the Vice President?" Hagrid asked.

At this time, Bush was in the sky, and Air Force Plane No. 2 had just taken off from Dallas, and Hagrid answered the phone on the plane.

"I'm Secretary of State Hagrid, Mr. Vice President...... "The sound quality of the ground-to-air telephone was not good, and he could hardly hear Bush's voice in the noise, and finally had to shout: "George! I'm Al. Hagrid, you need to fly back to Washington right away."

At 15:10, the White House press office issued a brief statement. The content is completely contrary to previous reports, saying that the president is currently in stable condition despite being shot and wounded.

Hagrid ordered the State Department to send a telegram to all U.S. embassies around the world: "Urgently, please release the following information immediately, and Washington will continue to fulfill its obligations for her people and allies." ”

The news of the assassination of the US president soon affected several countries during the Cold War, especially the Soviet Union, and many speculated that it was a conspiracy by the Soviets, who immediately demanded that the Oscars revoke the Soviet film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears", which had been nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film award.

But this does not conform to the practice of the five-part Oscar nomination competition, after intense discussions by the Oscar organizing committee, someone suggested why not send "Myth" up, and it was a dozen judges under the control of the Fox consortium who said this.

This move was immediately strongly opposed by the Warner consortium!

At around 7 p.m., President Reagan came to consciousness, unaware that in the hours he had been unconscious, he had almost triggered a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

"What makes you think it makes me happy to hear this? I hate war! ”

At 6:45 a.m. on March 31, 1981, when it was still dark, Reagan stood up from his bed with the help of a nurse and held a press conference. ”

The news that President Reagan's life was not in danger quickly spread through the University of Washington Hospital, and all the American citizens thanked God together when they heard the news!

If it is confirmed that the president was assassinated by the Soviets, it will inevitably lead to war again, and the Americans have not yet come out of the huge shadow caused by the Vietnam War, and they naturally hate war.

Someone said indignantly: "Are the bodyguards around the president all rice buckets, he should need the protection of a warrior like Rambo!" ”

"Yes, Rambo should be needed! Rambo is an American hero! ”

"The president says he hates war, and Rambo is a victim of it!"

"We should support Rambo as much as we support the president!"

"They are all advocates of peace!"

As a result, such remarks quickly spread among the American citizens, and the earlier remarks smearing "First Blood" were self-defeating, and the citizens went to the theater to watch their favorite superhero Rambo again!

"Boss, I now believe in your Oriental Immortal Technique, I tell you two news, one good and one bad, do you want to hear that?"

Winterdur, who claimed to be on vacation, did not rest for long, and he quickly called Wang Xiaohu with great interest.

"Bad news." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Now the Oscars are being held nervously, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, the bad news is this, although the Soviet Union's "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" lost its Oscar qualification, and Fox also proposed to make "Myth" a replacement, but it was still ruined by Warner's ghost."

"Don't want this kind of food!" Wang Xiaohu said categorically: "This is indeed terrible bad news!" ”
