Chapter 10: The Real Show
Buffalo, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mississippi......
Steve's "Captain America" repertory troupe traveled almost all over the United States, and wherever he went, sales of national debt would rise dramatically, and other items would be sold out of stock.
Of course, the Clarion Daily, which has exclusive information, has also made a lot of money because of the exclusive revelations of its chief reporter, and now its branches have begun to bloom all over the United States.
Then when Steve traveled all over the United States, "Clarion Daily" finally became an American media tycoon, at least a media tycoon in the newspaper industry, in order to thank Steve for his help, Li Yi gave Steve a very bold 1% of the "Clarion Daily" shares as a thank you after a drink.
After all, Steve's poverty even he can't stand anymore......
In addition, Li Yi's TV and film properties are also constantly developing, he bought land at a very low price, and finally became a famous real estate businessman. With more advanced color photography and videography patents and more than ten minutes of shooting patents, the joint venture company "New Media" has developed rapidly in the film industry and television industry.
But after all, it's not some Hollywood business now, and the bloody wind and rain in these things won't be written here.
Anyway, the general result is that Li Yi has successfully laid the foundation for himself to become the world's top richest man, as for why he doesn't use superpowers or anything like that, after all, he is experiencing life, and there is no need to hang so much.
These miscellaneous things will not be described in detail, but the Steve Acting Company traveled all over the United States, and then, under Brandt's arrangement, he starred in several small short films - basically films in which he led America to victory.
Of course, Li Yi's "new media" company participated in the production and distribution of these things, and suddenly this company began to become well-known throughout the United States.
Now Steve is really a national idol, even with his mind, after so many performances, he can't help but start to get a little into the play, he feels as if he is really the hero who led the United States to victory, and by the way, fattened the evil "mustache" with hundreds of punches.
Enjoying the cheers of the crowd after each performance, the admiring eyes of the children and the autumn waves secretly sent by the girls, Steve somewhat liked the feeling of being in the limelight.
This mentality did not change until he arrived at the American barracks in Italy, and it must be said that this time he suffered a little setback.
Completely different from the situation at home, these veterans who have experienced the war and fought on the battlefield are not interested in the so-called heroic stories at all, so when Steve takes the stage in his superhero costume, he is greeted not by cheers, but by the sound of bombardment of his departure.
He had to come backstage in embarrassment, watching the American girls next to him go on stage one by one, listening to the cheers in his ears, Steve couldn't help but have the same doubts again: Should I continue?
"Click",
Steve turned around and saw Li Yi holding an old-fashioned camera: "Lee? What are you doing here? Your camera? ”
Li Yi replied to him: "Seeing that our Steve is in a bad mood, I'll come over and take a look, I hope you can get out of this hurdle, the camera was borrowed by Phillips, and Stark made another selfie device that we made in the camp, and now many people are using it, so I took this old style out and walked around." ”
"You don't need to be so frustrated, the crowd here doesn't want to be like the United States, they are under the threat of death all the time, so they are destined to be uninterested or even disgusted with performances that have no factual basis.
Think of the script that Congressman Brandt got from Hollywood, and you fattened the evil Hitler hundreds of times...... People on American soil would be excited, but the soldiers knew. You haven't even seen Hitler in person.
Unless you can do something that they admire, there's no reason why you can gain respect just by performing without facts. ”
Li Yi patted Steve on the shoulder, took another photo of him, and left here.
As he was leaving, he saw Carter coming here.
Carter and Steve also talked a lot, and when Steve finally regained a little bit of confidence, a group of wounded soldiers who had been carried into the barracks caught his eye.
Carter saw that he was a little confused, so he directly told him about the recent situation in the barracks: "That's the soldiers of the 107th Division, they were scattered, and some were sent to us......"
She wanted to say something more, but Steve couldn't listen anymore, and all that was left in his head was a string of numbers.
“107?”
"yes, what's wrong?"
Steve stood up suddenly, he knew that Bucky's unit was the 107th Division, and he wanted to know what was going on with his friend.
Steve hurried to the barracks, Carter following him.
"Colonel Phillips."
"Isn't this a man with a star on his chest and a plan? What are your plans for today? Phillips was teased about Steve's current state.
"I want a list of casualties from the Battle of Bolzano." Carter had just introduced him to the source of the wounded soldiers, and Steve now wanted to know if his good friend Bucky was on the casualty list.
After a brief conversation, it was actually Steve who was saying, "Please give me the death list of 107", "I want to get the death list of 107", "I want to know the life of James Barnes (Bucky)," ......
Then Colonel Phillips got up and paced: "I signed a lot of letters of condolence today, and I can't remember many names, but I have an impression of this name. I'm sorry......"
Steve's heart suddenly cooled, as if the rain outside had taken away the heat: "What about the others?" Where are they? Is there a rescue plan? ”
"Thirty miles behind enemy lines, they have to pass through the most heavily guarded part of Europe, and there's nothing we can do about it, I don't want you to understand, after all, your job is to put on a play for everyone on stage......
"I think I understand."
"Then you can go somewhere else to understand, as far as I know, you will be going to the next place in thirty minutes to start performing."
The expression on Steve's face became resolute, he didn't want to continue to be a "circus clown", he looked solemn and said in a serious tone: "Yes, I will." ”
But the stage wasn't the next place to go, but the location of the soldiers on the map, and he was going to start his show, the real show.
