Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 283 Island Incident
The films of Li Si and Leopatra were released in theaters and met the audience one after another.

As a die-hard fan of Lucy, Vincenzo naturally watched both movies and quickly posted his thoughts on INS.

First is Li Si's movie, "Royal Knight". This movie is very suspenseful and the plot is very interesting. It tells the secrets and entanglements in the royal family and the people's resistance to the brutal authorities. Although Li Si is a knight named Royal, he should stand on the side of the royal family, but in the end he chose to stand on the right side of the people.

Vincenzo saw the character's inner struggle in the process, and understood why Li Si's superpower was light.

After watching the movie, Vincenzo felt that the character of Li Si finally came alive on the screen, becoming more three-dimensional and more approachable.

Leopatra's solo film "The Queen" tells the story of Egypt's ancient heritage and Leopatra's efforts to resist the marriage.

Independence, autonomy, and sexiness are Leopatra's personal labels and the most distinctive features of her character.

Vincenzo didn't expect Greta to be so good at filming. Not only were the pictures beautiful, but the story was also no worse than "The Royal Knight".

Although both films lack a grand narrative background and are much inferior to Tang De's Lucy in terms of the core of the story, independent films about heroes are just right for this shooting method.

So both movies performed very well at the box office.

"The Royal Knight" grossed $400 million worldwide, while "The Queen" grossed $700 million worldwide.

Even though they didn’t break the billion dollar mark, they were still extremely popular compared to their production costs.

However, Norton Eye spent $100 million on marketing for this.

This can be considered a luxury even in the promotion of blockbuster movies.

But for Tang De, this deal is very necessary, because the fame of James Wan and Greta Thunberg in the market is limited to genre films. If there is no advertising, many viewers may not be interested in the Lucy spin-off movies.

However, after being bombarded with advertisements and watching the movie, those viewers already had a certain understanding of the Lucy worldview.

These fan bases will explode in the Lucy Final Battle and become a boost to the box office.

Therefore, Tang De spared no effort in promoting these two films, and indeed achieved impressive data.

And just as the movie was released, another thing happened simultaneously.

A hacker broke into Epstein's email and found a large amount of evidence involving celebrities visiting the island. Driven by curiosity, the hacker investigated the island purchased by Epstein.

As a result, when he was investigating the current situation of the islands, he found that one island was particularly well protected.

All hacking methods were unable to find out what exactly was on the island.

He could only use the stupid method to check the island's material transportation.

Whether there are people or not, it is impossible not to use various supplies. By investigating the supplies, you can see what kind of people or animals live on the island.

But he couldn't investigate it all by himself, so he teamed up with some accomplices who were interested in the matter.

However, after investigation, the hackers became even more confused.

Because the clothes in the supplies show that the people on the island are generally under 15 years old, and the demand for these clothes is greater than that for adults.

This indicates that there are a large number of minors on the island. The hackers continued to investigate the source of the clothing instead of the supplies, and something even stranger happened.

Because they found that many of the clothes came from erotic clothing stores and lingerie stores, they didn't understand at first why the minors on these islands wanted to wear erotic clothing, but when they combined the various names in the emails, a terrifying guess suddenly emerged in their minds.

There aren’t any special services provided by minors on this island, right?
The hackers were shocked by the idea, but there seemed to be no other way to justify why the island needed so much underage erotic clothing.

So the hackers directly exposed this conjecture on the Internet, and attached some evidence and information to support the team's point of view.

Soon, this incident attracted the attention of netizens.

God, homosexuality, abortion and gun issues, collectively known as the most important 3G1A in North America, are issues that cannot be avoided in any presidential campaign.

Political stances in this regard often have a great impact on voters in swing states.

In addition, children's issues are also something that presidents must talk about. Minors are the top priority for protection under American law, and the rights of minors have been expanding with the extension of the law.

Now, someone suddenly claimed that there were underage girls providing special services on a small island, which immediately caused a stir on the online forum.

Therefore, some journalists with a keen sense of smell began to contact the hacker team behind the scenes to obtain more information.

Tang De has also been paying attention to this matter, but he is very cautious. The evidence revealed by these hackers now was all found by them on their own initiative. Even if these people are caught and traced back to the source, there is no way to hold Tang De accountable.

But he was still worried that a certain department would find clues through other means, so at this time he had asked the detective to physically destroy the computer and move the location.

It was also because of this caution that Tang De was able to sit back and relax in the subsequent series of events without being affected at all.

First, a tabloid reporter exposed the news about Epstein's island. Although it aroused discussion among some people, prosecutors and police soon investigated the tabloid and arrested the reporter.

Afterwards, all the information and evidence on the Internet were cleared, and the hacker group also sensed that something was wrong and fled in all directions.

But the FBI stepped in, and before long, these guys “caught” several hackers.

Two of them had their magazines emptied on the spot.

Although the public was very dissatisfied with the FBI's bravery, public opinion was quickly controlled. In just a few days, Tang De found that the matter was eliminated invisibly.

Unbeknownst to Tang De, the FBI had conducted a very rigorous interrogation of the hacker team and investigated the clues they saw on the dark web.

Following this line, the FBI soon found the source, but the source was a bit far away, far away in the mainland.

This was beyond their reach, so they could only report the hacker group as the main criminal to their superiors.

As to whether someone deliberately took advantage of this matter, it is unknown. The FBI intends to secretly file a case and follow up the investigation, and will not let go of any insider.

But this has nothing to do with Tang De.

He has now started preparing personal movies for other heroes, but the director has not been decided yet.
