The worry became a reality, and a certain guy really left and never came back.
Li Fuzhen felt aggrieved and disappointed, but after thinking about it again, he really couldn't compare with the princess. Putting her in a man's position, she would probably be the same, so he felt better.
Delphine was also disappointed, and she also felt that it was natural. She also had some common enemies that she didn't know about. She stayed with Li Fuzhen until the party was over. The two returned to the Grand Hotel where Li Fuzhen stayed, and then they became friends overnight. A good bestie.
The next morning, while the two women were having breakfast and discussing what they were going to do in the morning, they received a notice that the man had not forgotten the movie premiere mentioned yesterday, and sent a message to ask Miss Li if she wanted to go.
Of course not.
Um.
This was Delphine's suggestion. Her Royal Highness the Princess still couldn't hold it back and made an excuse, saying that she had gone over to investigate. After all, she was left alone at the party last night as her female companion. It was too tasteless.
Delphine thought it made sense and planned to go together.
The movie that premiered in the morning was, of course, The Japs Are Coming. The two girls arrived at the movie palace more than ten minutes early. There were already many spectators in the screening hall, but someone hadn't arrived yet.
I had to find a seat first.
Once again, we are fighting against the same enemy. Big man, he has such a big arrogance.
Simon arrived on time, without any fanfare or cover-up, and sat in the front row with many guests, so it was inevitable that it would cause some commotion, especially the media reporters who knew about some of the controversies about the film in advance, and they were even more eager to try it.
After the man arrived, Miss Li and Delphina moved from their seats in the back row to the front row. However, they could not sit next to the man, but behind him. Compared with others, the two women focused on the two female companions brought by the man. Delphine was not familiar with them, but Li Fuzhen knew them. One was Miss Li from Hong Kong, and the other was the little maid who returned the princess. After all, Whether it is Hong Kong movies or phenomenal TV series like Return of the Pearl, they are all very popular in South Korea.
Because there were only two empty seats left in the front row, the two women also noticed the open and covert fight between Dame Li and the little maid. In the end, Dame Li was the winner and was able to sit down with the men. The little maid came to the same back row as them, which happened to be Still next to each other.
However, even if the little maid who was very sociable took the initiative to greet her, Miss Li and Delphine were still very cold to her. As for Miss Li who was sitting with the man, Miss Li secretly made a cross in her heart. From now on, she won’t be able to control other parts of Asia, just the one-third of an acre in South Korea, huh.
On the other hand, the two girls also quickly thought of another thing. Why did they change two, where is a certain princess
However, I only had time to say hello to the man in the front row before the premiere officially began. Even if I wanted to beat around the bush on a certain issue, I had no chance for the time being.
Next to the two of them, the little maid didn't know the doubts in their hearts, but when she glanced at the figure of a man in the front row, she was still full of emotion until now. After the premiere of Kung Fu last night, the two girls returned to the mansion on the top of Lecanet and found that someone had arrived early. Anyway, the little maid felt that she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
Moreover, in the past, it was inevitable to feel that I was already the top star in China. Why was it that for a certain man, I was always not as good as the 'little maid' in the TV series? Now, I just feel that few women can find a sense of superiority with him.
After a simple speech on the stage, the lights dimmed and the movie screening began. The little maid put away her thoughts and turned her attention to the big screen.
Speaking of which, Ren Jingxi called in advance to warn her not to join in the excitement of the movie, as she might get into trouble. The little maid originally didn't plan to attend, but since she was with a certain man, it didn't matter. Anyway, domestic mainstream media will probably automatically ignore news about this movie.
In the front row, on one side of Simon was Dame Li, and on the other side was Lao Jiang, the film's director.
I've seen the video before, this time again.
However, apart from the black and white tones again, because Lao Jiang and Lao Wang are both inspirational creators who take pictures wherever they think, the details are very different from before.
The core theme of course remains unchanged.
Simon watched the movie quietly throughout, and the two-hour-long video ended quickly, followed by an interactive session without any expression, which disappointed the media who were expecting him to speak out.
It wasn't until the reception at noon that I talked about the movie with Lao Jiang.
In the banquet hall of the Grand Hotel near the Cinema Palace, Simon patiently listened to Lao Jiang introduce the origin of his creation of this film, about the massacre of a village in his hometown by the Japanese on New Year's Eve during the war, and about his youth. Thinking about why a polite Japanese exchange student became the kind of Japanese soldier he was.
Caressing the slender waist of Miss Li, who finally found the opportunity to push away the other two women to get to him, Simon took a sip of red wine, waited for Old Jiang to finish his words, and said: "So, Jiang, since you have clearly understood these things , why still don’t understand?”
Lao Jiang was confused: "What?"
Simon did not answer directly, but said: "I remember a novel based on real events called The Wave. It tells the story of a middle school teacher who conducted an experiment in order to let students understand sectarianism. He spent five days teaching students Discipline and team spirit are instilled in the students, and a first-class team is born.”
If Lao Jiang has some enlightenment.
Simon continued: "I understand that you want to discuss human nature through this war theme, but, Jiang, in my opinion, this is not human nature, or in other words, it is not accurate to use 'human nature' to describe these elements. For example, when you What is expressed in the film, whether it is cruelty or ignorance, whether it is fickleness or insensitivity, etc., is just the social character created by the macro environment imposed on the group. For example, take a look at the different historical stages of China in the past hundred years. I think you should have a deep understanding of the people’s spirit.”
Lao Jiang thought for a moment, nodded somewhat suddenly, thought of another verse, and asked: "So, Simon, what about the Chinese and Japanese?" Without waiting for an answer, he gave his own answer: "This should be a long-term history National character in a cultural context, right?”
"Yes," Simon said: "However, which ones are the national character formed under the long-term historical and cultural background, and which ones are the social characters created by the short-term macro-environment? From the perspective of an onlooker, for the Chinese people, I don't think you have any idea. Think it through."
Lao Jiang hesitated for a moment, then said: "My movie?"
Simon nodded again, thought about it and continued: "Furthermore, in addition to national character and social character, there is also the most fundamental point of human beings as an earth species, biological character. Compared with the first two that can be reversed through the external environment, this is One that cannot be changed, because it is determined by our genetic instinct. Jiang, do you know what our biological personality is?"
Old Jiang was thoughtful and shook his head subconsciously.
Simon said: "To put it simply, it can be summarized in two words, inheritance. Species were born on this planet and are governed by information engraved on the genetic level. For hundreds of millions of years, all living things have only been doing one thing. They try to pass on their genes over a longer time scale and a larger spatial extent as much as possible, and they do this at all costs."
Lao Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I feel like my outlook on life is beginning to be impacted."
Simon said with a faint smile: "Let me shock you again, you know, about human nature, of course I will not completely deny this concept. Moreover, in my opinion, human nature is a very noble thing, because It allows us to get rid of ignorance, compete with our most fundamental biological character, and move us towards civilization. However, another fact that you may not want to believe is that many times, the more abundant the 'humanity' of a nation, the more fundamental it is. In the process of competition for species continuation, they are increasingly at a disadvantage, because they always feel that they are human beings, and there are some things that must be done, some things that must be done with caution, and some things that must never be done, so they tie themselves to countless boxes. Among them. In comparison, a nation that retains more species instincts, or a nation whose national character is closer to biological character, may be more competitive for survival on this planet. Because they have much fewer scruples. For the sake of the ethnic group To continue, all they have to do is occupy more resources, eliminate more of their kind, give themselves more space to reproduce, and allow the population to survive in the longer term, that’s all.”
After Simon finished speaking, Lao Jiang's eyes widened slightly, obviously he had really suffered a bigger impact. Even if you think back to your own movies and think about some of the confusions in them, what else don’t you understand now
After thinking for a short time, Lao Jiang tentatively said with some uncertainty, depression and anxiety: "Simon, you think, I mean, all this, this movie, is meaningless, right?"
"Yes," Simon did not deny: "I am a pessimist. In my opinion, a specific social environment will inevitably produce a specific social character, and human beings are the best at forgetting and the least able to absorb on this planet. A creature that teaches lessons. So, with this movie, what you want to discuss and what you want to warn is very likely to be repeated in the future."
Lao Jiang was silent for a moment, and finally said firmly: "But, Simon, I still think that no matter what, we should do something."
"Of course," Simon also gave an affirmative answer without hesitation, and his smile was a little brighter: "Back to the movie, let me give you a suggestion. For example, this movie is definitely not watchable in China, at least on the big screen. Because it cannot be seen, it will naturally not arouse widespread social discussion, and the reflection you expect is even more impossible. This is the problem. If your work does not even have a chance for people to see it and discuss it, It still doesn’t make any sense, and that’s what you need to solve.”
