Tom Cruise didn't expect that he aroused such strong public anger online. In a panic, he kept asking his agent: "What do you think I should do now? Is there any way to recover?"

The agent thought for a moment and said seriously: "Tom, I think the most important thing now is to put aside the relationship. Netizens condemn you for taking such a movie, so you can quickly issue a statement saying that you don't know that this movie is a film that praises extreme Bushido, and the Japanese culture you like does not include the inhumane extreme Bushido spirit."

Tom Cruise hurriedly said: "No problem, I can write a statement here, but how much do you think this statement can do?"

The agent said: "I dare not assure you that maybe it's just a little relief effect, maybe it doesn't work at all, it mainly depends on whether your statement can convince these angry audiences."

Speaking of this, the agent hesitated for a moment and said, "Tom, to be honest, from my perspective, we have no possibility of recovery at all, so it is best not to have hope of recovery. What we should do most is to stop the loss in time, and it is best to announce our withdrawal from the filming of this movie immediately, and at the same time apologize to the people of the whole country and pray for their forgiveness."

"What?!" Tom Cruise suddenly became furious when he heard this: "The movie has been half made. Do you ask me to withdraw? How do I withdraw? The compensation alone will have to be tens of millions of dollars. More importantly, if you withdraw at this time, the Japanese consortium will definitely hate me to death! What should I do in the future?"

The agent blurted out: "It's time to consider these things. If you are a little later, wait for the netizens' opinions to escalate, even if you quit, it will be useless!"

Tom Cruise said irritably: "I will write a statement first, and you can help me find the media to publish it. As for the others, let's observe it first."

The agent sighed helplessly and said, "Now major media are posting articles to criticize you. Do you still want them to make a statement for you? Even if they are willing to make a statement for you, they will definitely target you with editorial comments."

Tom Cruise asked: "What should I do?"

The agent was silent for a while and said, "By the way, you can try to find Li Mu to help. If he is willing to help you make your statement on YY, the situation will definitely be much more optimistic."

"Li Mu?!" said Tom Cruise: "What should I do if I don't know Li Mu?"

The agent thought about it and suddenly had an inspiration and said, "You ask Spielberg for help! He is in China now and has a very good relationship with Li Mu! They just signed a contract a few days ago, and the two parties want to reach a strategic partner. If he is willing to help you say something good to Li Mu, it should bring some rebuffs to your reputation."

"Spielberg?!" Tom Cruise seemed to have grabbed the life-saving straw and immediately said excitedly: "Okay! Then I'll contact him now!"

Li Mu didn't expect that Tom Cruise actually asked Spielberg to ask for help from him.

Spielberg begged on the phone: "Mr. Li, Tom is a very good actor. Didn't you tell me the other day that you are very interested in him and hope to work with him? He has encountered a lot of trouble now because of a little unintentional mistake. If Mr. Li, you can help him, I believe that when he overcomes this difficulty, he will definitely repay you twice."

Li Mu said to Spielberg without hesitation: "I have already learned about Steven, Tom Cruise. Please tell him for me, and I will never agree to his request! At the same time, on behalf of the 1.3 billion compatriots in China, I strongly condemn his actions! The American people cannot forget the harm brought to them by the extreme Bushido spirit, and the 1.3 billion compatriots in China will not forget that anyone who stands for the extreme Bushido spirit is our enemy!"

Spielberg did not expect Li Mu to react so excessively to this matter. He was very tactful and immediately gave up and continued to plead for Tom Cruise. Instead, he hurriedly followed Li Mu's words and said: "You are right. This behavior is indeed very excessive. It is unacceptable to the people of countries in the world that have been invaded by Japan."

As he said that, Spielberg said again: "Anyone has to be responsible for his actions. This time, let's treat it as a profound education class for him!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "This is the price he should pay."

After Spielberg hung up the phone, he immediately conveyed Li Mu's attitude to Tom Cruise and made it clear that he could not help him, which instantly shattered the glimmer of hope that Tom Cruise had just created!

Even Li Mu has such a big opinion about him. It seems that he really stabbed a hornet's nest this time!

...

Just when Tom Cruise was at a loss in New Zealand, Li Mu's second wave of confrontation kicked off again.

After all, he is an Internet celebrity with more than ten years of experience ahead of the world today. Li Mutai knows how to incite speech on the Internet. In other words, he is now the big celebrity in the world who knows best how to hack a person online.

The title of Li Mu's new article is "Tom Cruise, how many compatriots' blood has the samurai sword in your hand been stained with?" The article was directly fired at Tom Cruise in a questioning tone throughout the article.

Among them, Li Mu asked him: When you keep saying that you are obsessed with Japanese culture and the spirit of Bushido, do you know how many compatriots have died here?

When you pick up the samurai sword and praise the extreme samurai in "The Last Samurai", have you ever thought that the heads of many compatriots were once cut to the ground by the samurai sword in your hand?

When you were impressed by Japanese Bushido in "The Last Samurai" and willingly fought to defend the extreme Bushido spirit, do you know how many righteous people have sacrificed their lives to oppose this anti-human spirit?

After several consecutive questions, Li Mu said in the article: "The profit-oriented nature of commodity society and upper class society has made our celebrities have no moral integrity in order to make money. As public figures, shouldn't celebrities have more demands on themselves and take on more role models in society? Shouldn't they have a detailed understanding of the plot and historical background of the movie before taking on a movie? If even this most basic professional quality is missing, how will the industry fall into depravity?"

"As a public figure, if Tom Cruise took on this movie without sufficient understanding of history, it is enough to prove that the comprehensive quality of the actors needs to be improved; if he took on this movie with a full understanding of history, his motivation would be even more unforgivable, because the pain of the country seems to be worth nothing in his opinion. No matter which one it is, it is unforgivable!"

At the end of the article, Li Mu also made a metaphor: "If one day an actor takes on a movie that praises the Nazis, please remember that there are two most terrifying ones, in addition to the actor who is willing to praise the Nazis, there are also companies that invest in making this movie!"

As soon as this article was released, it quickly received support from most netizens. While they agreed with the opinions of the article, they quickly continued to spread the article to the entire network.

Li Mu's article almost blocked all the retreat of Tom Cruise.

At this time, Tom Cruise was completely forced into a dead end by Li Mu and had no ability to resist at all. The result Li Mu wanted was that Tom Cruise could not find any reason, excuse or rhetoric that could stand firm when facing the criticism of the whole society!

In this way, I continued to fuel the fire from behind and continued to put pressure on Tom Cruise, and finally left Tom Cruise with only one choice: apologize and then exit from the movie.

Li Mu also forced Warner to a dead end, forcing them to terminate the filming of this movie and make this $140 million investment work completely an unfinished building in Hollywood!

In addition, Li Mu has a greater goal and pursuit, that is, to let the entire Western society recognize the true face of the Bushido spirit, and through this incident, they will be afraid to participate in any film project that promotes Japanese culture from now on!

...

In order to ensure the success of this matter, Li Mu decided to start a full war!

Before this, Li Mu used various means to hide his identity in order to trigger this incident on the Internet, which was to prevent himself from revealing a bug in major logic. However, now the incident is already hot on the Internet, and at this time he can participate openly.

So Li Mu immediately called the person in charge of yy English website and gave him two tasks:

First, from now on, we will follow up on the events related to "The Last Warrior" in a comprehensive and full manner, and conduct 24-hour rolling reports on yy English. At the same time, the headlines of pop-up news in the next three days will be left for this event. We must push the influence of this event to the extreme;

Second, we invite China, a well-known American author to write an article for this incident. The arguments in the article must be extremely clear, and everything should be based on "strongly condemning those who promote the extreme Bushido spirit";

Afterwards, Li Mu called Wang Nan, the editor-in-chief of yy Chinese portal, asking him to vigorously promote this incident on yy Chinese website and yy's daily push in China;

In addition, Li Mu called Zhao Kang, who was busy chaining the Internet cafe project, and set a request for him: After yy Chinese website vigorously promotes this matter, he immediately mobilized the navy to promote the fire on the Internet, and it is necessary to mobilize domestic netizens' enthusiasm for discussing this incident, and at the same time, he should find a way to guide them to support American netizens on the Internet.

Li Mu asked Zhao Kang to understand the first half of the request, but he was a little confused about the second half of the request, and asked Li Mu: "Support American netizens? How to support them?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's very simple. We need to find a way to mobilize Chinese netizens who speak English to the US network, so that they can fuel this time, leave messages to relevant content on the US network to clearly express support, and we cannot just support it, but we must also adopt certain speech skills."

As he said, Li Mu gave an example: "For example, let all netizens add a sentence in front of them when replying to American netizens' posts: The delegation of Chinese netizens comes to support them, justice will win! Let American netizens know that in this matter, Chinese netizens are comrades in the same trench with them. This time, this time, it is to support them and justice!"
