rising director

But, whether his ancestors were Wanxiu or not, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. The people who edited the spectrum said so, and they, the Wan family, believed it.

0339【Big turning point】

With the question of belief and history at the beginning, Wan Xiaohu and Mark Alba can be considered to have a chat.

Mark believed in Catholicism, but he didn't regard Wan Xiaohu as a heretic. At first, he wanted to laugh at the fact that people in China believed in Marx.Who knew that Wan Xiaohu told him that Chinese people don't believe in Marx at all, but believe in their own ancestors.Now he couldn't refute.

The Catholicism he believes in is not like some religions. If you don’t believe in my religion, you are a heretic, but it is a very tolerant religion.It is believed that those who do not know Jesus can go to heaven if they live and behave according to Christian standards.

Wan Xiaohu doesn't believe in God, and Mark still doesn't know that he is stepping on three boats, so he thinks his behavior is acceptable.

"How do you atheists view religion?" Mark asked while driving.

"Some don't understand. In my opinion, there are some things that religion cannot explain. Whether it is Christianity, Islam or Buddhism, they all have their own worldview. In our country, in addition to worshiping ancestors, sometimes we also believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Later, after the Opium Wars began, after a relatively difficult history, many Western sects entered the country.”

"and then?"

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't like religion very much. They serve as the vanguard of the aggression." Wan Xiaohu has such a personality, and he doesn't intend to make false promises, and he says it realistically.

"Missionaries walk the earth and bring God's instruction to the ignorant land."

"The kingdom without God has developed a highly brilliant civilization after 5000 years of history."

"It is because there is no God that you are being invaded."

"Now we still don't have God, but we are growing stronger. Isn't the United States advocating the theory of national threat? The United States is afraid of us."

"Because you are more like devils."

"We are not like the devil. Our people love peace. Have you seen who we invade? On the contrary. The US government that believes in God attacked Afghanistan, Iraq, sanctioned Syria, and helped Israel massacre Palestinians. It has never been soft."

"You have violated humanity on the Darfur issue. You have also sold arms to many countries!" Mark said loudly.

Wan Xiaohu chuckled: "Our country supports the Sudanese government to suppress the rebellion for the sake of regional peace. On the contrary, the Western government supports the rebels, always thinking of dismembering each country into small pieces, just like the issue of independence. , Taiwan is the sacred and indivisible territory of the country, it has been since ancient times! But many Americans support the Dalai Lama’s separatism. The same is true for the Taiwan issue. If the United States did not block it, why would the people on both sides of the strait become increasingly hostile, and the Western government headed by the United States , For their own interests, under the banner of human rights, they interfere in the internal affairs of other countries everywhere. When it comes to arms sales, it’s ridiculous. The United States is the world’s largest arms giant.”

"We Americans respect the human rights of everyone, and Taiwanese have the right to make their own decisions."

"But why does the United States support the one-country principle while opposing the mainland government's exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan? Isn't this a ridiculous contradiction?"

"I don't know, maybe the government has the government's considerations. We support a country, but we also want to guarantee the rights of the Taiwanese. If the Taiwanese don't want to be ruled by the dictatorship of the country, they should be respected!"

"Speaking of dictatorship is even more ridiculous. The country is a one-party dictatorship. The United States is just a two-party dictatorship. Apart from these two parties, is there a third party? Who will guarantee the interests of people outside the party? I have my own in the United States. Company, I have been in Hollywood for four years, and I can see it very clearly. It is no different from China, and the government is even more terrifying. Even fishing law enforcement has been incorporated into the judicial system. There is no room for the slightest voice of opposition from the people, even if there is, It is also an objection that is permitted by the judiciary. There is an ironic saying that American democracy is 'Shut up. We are talking about democracy!'."

"You are sophistry, what we value most is human rights and democracy..."

Wan Xiaohu had already planned to perform well in exchange for Mark Alba's no objection to him and Jessica, and even blessings.However, Wan Xiaohu still has an angry youth and violent temper. Stimulated by Mark's proud American mentality, he immediately discarded the original plan and started arguing with reason.

As for getting a blessing, go to hell.

The uncle has already cooked rice with your daughter, and the baby is about to be born. You like to be a grandfather, so you have to admit it!

Seeing the conflict between the two gradually intensify, Joshua Alba, who was sleeping with his eyes squinted, couldn't take it anymore: "Hey, hey, hey, Dad, Tger, why do we have to discuss bullshit politics at Christmas? Dad, shouldn't you be concerned at this time, when will the government's promise to veterans be fulfilled? And Tger, why did you come to eat, have you forgotten?"

"OK, let's not discuss politics anymore." Wan Xiaohu quickly compromised.

"Occasionally, we can discuss it, after Christmas." Mark muttered.

Without the political topic, it was a dull journey back.

After moving down the Christmas tree and entering the house, Jessica immediately came over with a bowl for stirring eggs and gave Wan Xiaohu a kss: "How is the game? Is the Christmas tree cutting going well? Have further discussions with my dad?" Do you want to communicate?"

"It's not bad, the progress is obvious. I was silent before, but now I can discuss political topics together."

"Then keep it up."

"Ok."

Busy and busy, it will soon be time for dinner.Jessica and her mother, Catherine Alba, served a table full of food.

After the five people sat down, Mark said, "Pray."

Then the five people held hands, and Wan Xiaohu also joined hands, but he didn't know how to pray, he just followed the formalities.

"Our Lord in heaven, hallowed be his name. His kingdom come, his will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts Just as we have forgiven our debts. Do not let us encounter temptation, but deliver us from evil, because the kingdom, power, and glory belong to the Lord forever. Amen!"

During the meal, under Jessica's mobilization, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After dinner, Catherine and Jessica went to wash the dishes, and it was time for Wan Xiaohu to showdown with Mark.

……

"Tger, good news, screenwriters went on strike, many movies stopped working, and now the entire Hollywood special effects company employees have nothing to do. So, we invited the best and most special effects engineers to participate in the special effects of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" Production. So re-edit the movie, don't skimp on special effects, it doesn't cost a fortune."

A few days after Christmas, Wan Xiaohu received a call from the producer, telling him the good news.

Special effects are burning money, this is a well-known thing.

But under the screenwriters' strike, the special effects engineers couldn't even afford to eat. Naturally, the price was easy to negotiate.Twentieth Century Fox was also ruthless enough to attract a large number of unemployed engineers at home at an extremely low price.These engineers, in order to earn some extra money, had to accept this unreasonable price.

Why is the market sluggish, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is one of the few films that requires special effects.

"There's another good thing, it's not bad, I'm going to re-edit it and add some cool shots." Wan Xiaohu was also excited.

The budget for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was only $9000 million from Twentieth Century Fox, who was short of money. Many of the special effects shots that Wan Xiaohu originally imagined had to be discarded, and some suitable shots were selected to spend money on production.Now that this happens, you don't have to worry about not having enough money anymore, and it's time for the big scene to start!

The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in the previous track was good, but there was a problem that was criticized, that is, "gaochao" was too short, and the audience was watching it, but it ended suddenly. After all, the budget given by [-]th Century Fox Too little, "gaochao" can't make it.The original director Rupert Wyatt is new.

If there hadn't been a writers' strike, [-]th Century Fox, which is short of money, would also cause the version of the movie shot by Wan Xiaohu to be somewhat lacking in stamina.

Thanks to the general strike, Wan Xiaohu can correct this defect.

"Tger, I think we're ready to promote, will you be on a few talk shows?" the producer asked again.

"Sorry, I made it clear when I signed the contract that I will not participate in the publicity. At most, I will stand up for you when I am in the country. I have too many things to do now, and I don't have time to participate in these promotional programs."

"That's a pity."

Does Wan Xiaohu really have no time? In fact, he does have time, but it is only arranged for private activities.

He's going hunting with cheap father-in-law Mark Alba.

Before Christmas, Wan Xiaohu never thought that such a thing would happen.In his mind, after the showdown, even if Mark didn't shoot him, he would beat him up.On the contrary, Mark calmly accepted his daughter as Wan Xiaohu's concubine.

The reason is simple. Mark thinks that Wan Xiaohu is not a smooth person. He insists on his own political stance. Even if he hates the United States, he will speak out without hesitation, much like him when he was young.Dare to speak and act, this is a real man.It's not a big deal for a man to have several women.

A smooth, shrunken man is superfluous even if he has a woman.

"I won't object to you and Jessica. It's your choice. Jessica has been very assertive since she was a child. I believe she sees people well. But, I must say, if that day, you hurt Jessie Ka, I really can shoot."
