Chapter 9: Start Your Performance
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The cups collide and a little splash is made.
"Haha, Lee, what the best videographer in the United States, our newspaper has sold half a million copies, and predictably more people are starting to take an interest in Steve, and we're sure we'll be able to sell more."
"Of course, Howard, let me tell you, when the war is over, we might be able to cast Steve in a hero movie or something, and he doesn't need a stand-in at all."
Listening to the sound in the room, Steve shook his head helplessly, he had just returned from Dr. Erskine's hospital room, although the super soldier serum was gone, but the doctor's life was fine, so he was in a good mood now.
It's just that Phillips doesn't want him to go to the battlefield, so he is a little depressed, so he will come to his acquaintance Li Yi.
He heard Carter say that the job he was assigned in the future seemed to be related to Li Yi, so now he also wanted to take this opportunity to ask, but he never thought that he saw the two of them drinking beer as soon as he came over.
"Hey Steve, would you like a drink?" Howard is going to London with Phillips tomorrow, and I'm seeing him off. Li Yi raised his glass and invited Steve.
"Okay......" Steve didn't refuse, he was also very frustrated when he knew that he couldn't go to the battlefield and maybe had to stay in the laboratory, and now that someone invited him to drink, naturally he didn't mean to refuse.
Then he sat down, Li Yi gave him a beer, and the three of them drank the wine, thinking about different things.
"By the way, Steve, do you have any plans for the future?" Li Yi asked.
Steve shook his head, "I don't know, the colonel wanted me to stay in the lab today, but Councillor Brandt said he had a better idea......"
Stark was a little more informed: "Lee, I know a little bit about this. ”
"Can you talk about it? It shouldn't be a secret or something, right? Li Yi asked Howard.
"Not really, there's nothing to hide, because of Dr. Erskine's problem here," he gestured to his head, "plus that damn agent smashed the last Super Soldier Serum, which Steve cherishes very much now, but the last two days, our newspaper was a big hit, maybe Steve will be borrowed by Councilor Brant to boost morale in addition to collecting some biological materials such as hair, blood, etc. for the study of Super Soldier Serum." ”
"Is that so? But there should be no possibility of going to war? ”
"That's right, Steve is very precious now, how can he be allowed to go to the battlefield, unless there are special circumstances, or the value that Steve creates on the battlefield can be much greater than here." Howard is a qualified businessman, and he sees it very clearly on this point.
Li Yi saw that the look in Steve's eyes gradually became cold, so he raised his glass: "Okay, okay, what are you doing so much, Howard, you are going to London tomorrow, pay attention to safety." Come to Steve, we'll give Stark a drink. ”
……
The next day, Howard, Carter, and Phillips all left for London.
Steve followed Councillor Brandt to a special place.
"Mr. Councillor, where is this?" Steve was puzzled.
"Just call me Brandt, Mr. Steve, for your heroic deeds have been widely celebrated, so I have applied to the Senate for this plan, and this is your next arrangement." With that, Brant handed the printed document to Steve.
Steve looked through the document in his hand and finally agreed, and then his first show was to begin in New York.
A certain grand theater,
After a group of American babes appeared one by one in the same style as the American flag, the atmosphere of the whole scene has begun to heat up.
Then there is Steve, who is now popular in the United States - Mr. Captain America, of course, although he has the name of "Captain America", but in fact he is not recognized by all Americans, and now he is just playing the role of "Captain America".
Steve didn't remember the lines in his first performance, his lines were written on a note and glued behind the shield in his hand, looking at the note he said the lines, which were some persuasions to people to buy Treasury bonds and the like, it can be said that Steve's appeal is still very great now, and after this performance, the entire New York Treasury bonds have been sold more.
However, Steve unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
"Lee? Why are you here? ”
This is on the transport vehicle to the next performance, and as a few men in the entire performance troupe, they are naturally grouped together.
"Hey! Steve, I don't want to be here, you know my dream is to be a successful war correspondent. "Li Yi is completely like a traverser at this time, and he is the kind of traverser who doesn't have any big ambitions.
"But that stark bastard, I don't know how to tell me about my camera skills, and now I can only cooperate with you, 'Captain America' to earn the national debt."
"How do you earn it?"
"Taking your photos and filming your dramas, I, the greatest photographer and director of the future, can't go to the front line now, I thought I could do it. By the way, then attach those photos with your signature and sell them to newspapers or comic publishers or the like, anyway, you should be able to make a lot of money, I can only account for 50%, these people are really a ** businessman! ”
As he spoke, Steve took a few photos of New York that Li Yi handed him, and looked at himself in strange clothes on it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Is it the loss of not being able to go to war? Or is it the pride of being able to contribute to the resistance to the Nazis in this way? Or did you think of the propaganda video I saw for the conscription before I joined the army - young people went to the army, and children and women rummaged in the rear for scrap metal to donate?
The trajectory of life is uncertain, and no one knows where the next step will lead.
It's like, at the performance in New York, Li Yi saw two "acquaintances", which are not much different from the appearance in the film, one is a black-haired boy, in the future, he has a name or code name that is well-known to many people - Professor X, and the other is a standard blonde and blue-eyed white girl on the surface, but in Li Yi's eyes, she can still see her essence - demon girl.
But now they're still kids, so maybe they've just met.
At that time, Li Yi gave Steve a special autograph in his hand to two people, and I don't know what kind of expression the old Charles had when he saw Steve, who was much "younger" than him, in the future.
