Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Tony's house.

Natasha, Lu Mingfei, Steve and Tony sat at the conference table in clockwise order.

Natasha put on ordinary casual clothes, while Lu Mingfei looked curiously at the round table full of futuristic technology they were sitting around. The glass table top exuded a bright blue light, and every point on the table was can project a holographic screen.

"Tony, when did you build this table? It's so cool." Lu Mingfei touched the table left and right.

"I made this a few days after you left so we could have a meeting," Tony said, holding champagne in one hand and a burger in the other. "The meeting about Steve running for president, of course."

"So, SHIELD has really become our ally and wants to help Steve run for president?" Lu Mingfei asked, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look at Natasha, who was sitting here on behalf of SHIELD. .

"Well, that's what I want to tell you," Tony said. "Not long ago, with Steve and I's efforts to persuade, use emotion, reason, coercion and inducement, etc., Fury... We are willing to cooperate with us in a more in-depth way to help Steve run for president."

In order to use that series of idioms, Tony specially said this sentence in Chinese, but...

"The last idiom is wrong, it's not a good word." Lu Mingfei complained.

"Well, maybe I'm wrong." Tony blinked.

Natasha smiled: "And I am the representative responsible for SHIELD's contact with you."

Lu Mingfei said that it was indeed the case. Natasha was a representative of S.H.I.E.L.D., but for such a big thing as running for President of the United States, did Fury only send representatives? Could it be that he is busy with something more important?

"But strictly speaking, SHIELD is not completely our ally," Tony looked at Lu Mingfei, "Procedurally speaking, you still need your approval vote before SHIELD can truly join us."

No wonder Tony was so anxious for Jarvis to bring me here. Lu Mingfei suddenly understood.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "Tony, you and the captain can decide on this matter. I'm just here to join in the fun."

"Treat running for President of the United States as 'fun'..." Tony nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I like your metaphor."

"You are also a member of our team," Steve said more seriously, "As one of the first three members of the team, your opinion is very important."

At this point, Lu Mingfei didn't want to be pretentious, so he nodded and said: "Then I also agree that SHIELD will join."

He still knows a little bit about SHIELD. From a certain perspective, this group of people can be described in one word - a plus version of the FBI.

There is no reason to refuse such an ally, not to mention that even Tony agreed, which means that even if SHIELD has any hidden dangers as an ally, Tony should have considered it. Lu Mingfei has no reason to disagree.

"Then from now on, we are all in the same boat," Natasha stretched out her hand towards Lu Mingfei, "Why don't you shake hands?"

"No," Lu Mingfei shook his head and picked up the burger at hand, "I guess Natasha you haven't washed your hands yet."

Natasha was silent.

She came just after dinner, so she didn't order any fast food, and naturally she didn't wash her hands.

Lu Mingfei took the burger and asked: "By the way, Tony, how is the campaign going now? Has the title of captain been established?"

The most important thing about running for president is to build momentum and win votes. In other words, the first step is to gather a large number of people's hearts.

"Captain America's name has always been famous," Tony said, "but Steve is different."

"What?" Lu Mingfei asked, biting into his burger.

"As I expected before, most politicians and the forces behind them have reached a consensus and do not want Steve to share the cake of the United States," Tony said. "They have been making public comments in various media To create momentum, question Steve's identity, and dwarf the glorious image that 'Captain America' has always been."

"However, the latter is not a big problem at the moment. The concept of 'Captain America' has developed since World War II and has become one of the spiritual totems of a considerable number of Americans. It is not something that will be affected casually, and the military does not Politicians will be allowed to slander the image of this hero, otherwise they will no longer be able to use Captain America to advertise for military recruitment in the future," Tony said. "The bigger problem is the former. All major media are questioning Steve under the instruction of the sponsors behind him. The identity of Captain America, for example, he is fake, plastic surgery, etc.”

"In the world of public opinion, what is true can become false, and what is false can become true," Lu Mingfei took a sip of Coke and said, "But isn't this because SHIELD is here? Since they were in the North Pole, Once the captain is discovered, the whole process should be recorded, right? Can't the record be released?"

"Yes, yes, but this is a big killer weapon. In theory, it should be used to equalize the situation when we are at a disadvantage, or it is better to use it when we have an advantage to win in one go. The current public opinion environment is relatively chaotic, so just use this big weapon It's a waste to throw away the killing weapon," Tony said, "And the records are not absolutely easy to use. You said it yourself, true or false, is not important in the war of public opinion. Although the records are true, they are not the same. Be careful and you will be slandered as fake..."

Steve smiled bitterly: "I heard that there has always been a difficult problem in philosophy to prove 'I am me'. I didn't expect that I would also encounter this problem in political science."

"So, our top priority is to completely bind Steve to the image of 'Captain America' in the eyes of the public?" Lu Mingfei concluded.

"That's right," Tony said, "No matter how legendary the story of Captain America is, if people can't immediately bind this image to Steve when they think of Captain America, the legendary story won't be Be our support.”

"Wait... a legendary story? The legendary story of Captain America..." An idea flashed in Lu Mingfei's mind and he slapped his thigh, "I thought of it!"

Tony and the other three were startled by his movements.

"What did you think of?" Natasha asked.

"Tony, does Stark Group have any involvement in film and television?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"No," Tony shook his head, "But there can be."

After a brief thought, Tony seemed to realize something: "Do you want to..."

Natasha also showed a somewhat surprised expression.

"Film and television?" Steve, whose concept has not yet been completely modernized, is a little confused.

"Captain," Lu Mingfei looked at Steve, "Are you... interested in becoming an actor?"

"To be honest, my interests do not include being an actor. During World War II, I used to be a role promoted by the military and performed many performances to boost morale and recruit soldiers." Steve shook his head, "But I still prefer Fight on the battlefield.”

"I'm afraid you have to return to the stage for a while, Captain," Lu Mingfei raised the Coke cup, "Everyone, let's make a movie called "Captain America" ​​and tell the legendary story of Captain America in the movie. . Steve, you play Captain America!"

Steve:! ! !
