Chatty Hollywood - Chapter 799
“So, we came to Vians Valley today to exchange the soul of the bat monster for the soul of the ghost tiger?”
In the Vianes Valley three days later, Charlize sat on the front cover of the car bored, chatting with Charlotte.
“You and the Lord of Hell have been in an unobvious confrontational relationship, but now you have to exchange the souls in your hands. This is almost the same as the story of James Donovan!”
“”Bridge of Spies”?”
Hearing Charlize’s words, Charlotte naturally thought of this movie.
Of course, it has not yet reached 2015, and the film adapted from a spy exchange incident during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has not yet appeared.
However, the historical facts that Charlize said happened in 1960.
That year, the Cold War was underway.
Although US-Soviet relations are not as tense as they were during the Cuban Missile Crisis two years later, they are already very tense.
In this case, the two sides conducted a hostage exchange on the Glinik Bridge in East Germany at the time with the efforts of a private lawyer, James Donovan.
Use Abel, a spy captured by the United States, in exchange for Gary Powers, the pilot of a U.S. reconnaissance plane shot down by the Soviet Union.
——The name “Bridge of Spy” is precisely because of this.
The original script of this story has actually been circulating in Hollywood for some years, however, it has not been filmed.
Needless to say from 1960 to 1972-
At that time, McCarthyism was still circulating in the United States, and Edgar Hoover, the first FBI director who was extremely anti-X, was still alive. Whoever dares to shoot this subject is waiting for death or mental illness!
——Though most people in Hollywood are big-mouthed leftists, they are proud to criticize the government—no matter which country’s government is—but when faced with a truly powerful terrorist like Edgar Hoover, they are still relatively Heart.
Afterwards, with the death of Hoover and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the domestic ideological issues gradually faded. However, when faced with the huge pressure from the Soviet Union, it is obvious that such a film that promotes reconciliation with the other side is unlikely to be possible. Marketing.
It wasn’t until the early 1990s that the Soviet Union completely fell, and the market conditions for making this story into a movie gradually matured.
However, just like Tai Zu’s poem on the other side of the Pacific–
“It is advisable to chase the poor with the courage left, but not to be famous and academic overlord.”
——Finally, the great United States has defeated the evil enemy, and can hack the opponent casually. At this time, it does not promote the greatness of freedom, and what does it do with those who do not?
Although this is not a requirement of the U.S. government, Hollywood filmmakers are still sensitive to the fact that audiences have no interest in this kind of film through their own market sense.
——In this case, the script will naturally continue to be squeezed into the script library.
Until last year’s 911 happened-
“Now there is a trend of reflection in the United States gradually–“
Charlotte explained to Charlize,
“Some people feel that we were too inflated after the Cold War victory, so we will only now… Therefore, they think that James Donovan’s story may be able to give you some enlightenment.”
“That’s it!”
Charlize nodded.
“Then do you think it’s possible?”
“Thinking well, but there is a small problem in it—”
Charlotte is serious and authentic,
“The idea itself is nonsense!”
“what!?”
Hearing this “little problem” from Charlotte, Charlize was in a daze for a while.
Charlotte sighed.
“As individuals, of course, you can reflect when you think you have done something wrong, but it is not so easy for a group at the national level to reflect-Germany did not begin to reflect until Berlin was destroyed. In this case, what role can a movie play?”
“What’s more, for market considerations, this kind of reflection will definitely be superficial, and eventually become a routine story that promotes the spirit of freedom.”
“This possibility is indeed great!”
Charlize nodded.
——As a practitioner in Hollywood, she naturally understands what’s going on in Hollywood.
“But according to you, isn’t our world very sad?”
“It’s not so sad.”
Charlotte shrugged.
“Sally, the world is not what we ideally look like!”
“——It is neither white nor black, but gray.”
“When the world is different from our ideals, we can’t complain that the world is wrong, saying anything is “the world’s fault”-that’s the way children think.”
“What we can do is to adapt to the world first, and then work hard to transform it into the way we hope!”
“——Humanity has been here since the day when the fire of civilization was ignited?”
At this point, Charlotte sighed.
But he did not tell Charlize something–
To some extent, the fall of the Soviet Union was actually a loss for the United States.
After all, just like the famous saying on the other side of the Pacific, “If you enter, you will not be able to stay at home, and if you exit, you will be invincible against foreign patients, and the country will perish.”
People need opponents if they want to go upwards.
The same is true for the country.
You must know that when the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was most intense, the Americans were able to send people to the moon;
——And fifty years later, they can’t do it;
It was also in that era that Kennedy could say loudly, “Don’t ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
——The spirit of the Americans of that era is far from what only politically correct Americans can compare after the new millennium…
*********
Of course, Charlotte and Charlize, one is a white-skinned and yellow-hearted crossing, and the other is simply a French-German South African. They have no sense of responsibility for the development of American society.
I will talk about it here, but because I talked about James Donovan’s story, I just chatted casually.
As for why they stayed and chatted in the wilderness of the Vianles Valley, instead of immediately proceeding to the “exchange” between Charlotte and the Lord of Hell, there is also a reason—
“Although I have discussed with the Lord of Hell, it is against the rules of death after all, so to complete it, we need to restore the situation at that time as much as possible.”
Charlotte explained,
“This naturally also includes time and place.”
“I see!”
Charlize understood.
“At the beginning we sent the ghost tiger to the gate of **** completely, it was in the middle of the night, which means we have to wait until midnight?”
“Yes.”
Charlotte nodded, but then rolled her eyes.
“Speaking of ~www.mtlnovel.com~Sally, we were in this place at the time and we had done one more thing, do you remember?-You were lying on the hood of the car, I…”
“and many more!”
Charlize reacted at once.
“Isn’t that after the ghost tiger was eliminated? Don’t want to lie to me!”
“How can I lie to you?”
Charlotte smirked.
“Look, we are idle anyway…”
“…” ()
