0339 【Big Turn】
With the beginning of the issue of faith and history, Wan Xiaohu and Mark Alba can also talk.
Marc believed in Catholicism, but he did not regard Wan Xiaohu as a heretic. At first he wanted to mock the Chinese people for believing in Marx. Who knew that Wan Xiaohu told him that the Chinese people did not believe in Marx at all, and they believed in their ancestors. Now he couldn't refute it.
The Catholicism he believes in is not like some religions. If you don’t believe in my religion, you are a heretic, but a very tolerant religion. You believe that those who do not know Jesus can ascend to heaven if their life behavior meets Christian standards.
Wan Xiaohu doesn't believe in God, and Mark doesn't know that he is on three boats, so he thinks his behavior is acceptable.
"How do you atheism view the issue of religion?" Mark asked while driving.
"I don't understand some things. In my opinion, some religions cannot explain. Whether it is Christianity, Islam or Buddhism, they all have their own worldviews. In addition to worshiping ancestors, we in China sometimes believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Later, after the Opium War began, we went through a relatively difficult history, and many Western sects entered China."
"Then what?"
"Personally, I have no good feelings for religion, and they act as the vanguard of invasion." Wan Xiaohu has such a personality and does not intend to agree hypocritically, but says it truthfully.
“The missionaries walked on the earth and brought God’s instructions to the ignorant land.”
"China without God has lived through five thousand years of history and developed a highly brilliant civilization."
"It is because you have no God that you will be invaded."
"We still don't have God now, but we are strong. Isn't the United States promoting the Chinese threat theory? The United States is afraid of us."
"Because you're more like devils."
"We are not like the devil. We Chinese love peace. Have you ever seen us invade who we have invaded? On the contrary, the U.S. government, which believes in God, has never been lenient in attacking Afghanistan, attacking Iraq, sanctioning Syria, and helping Israel massacre Palestinians."
"You are against humanity on the issue of Darfur. You are also selling arms to many countries!" Mark said loudly.
Wan Xiaohu laughed: "We China supports the Sudanese government to suppress rebellion for regional peace. On the contrary, the Western government supports the insurgents, always thinking of dismembering countries into small pieces. Just like the Tibet issue, Tibet is China's sacred and inseparable territory, and it has been since ancient times! But many Americans support Dalai to split Tibet. The same is true for the Taiwan issue. If it weren't for the United States to block it, why would the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait become increasingly hostile? The Western government led by the United States interferes in the internal affairs of other countries for its own interests under the banner of human rights. When it comes to arms sales, it is ridiculous that 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 decisions."
"But why does the United States support the one-China 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 government considerations and we support a China, but we also have to guarantee the rights of Taiwanese people. If Taiwanese people do not want to be subject to Chinese dictatorship, they deserve respect!"
"It's even more ridiculous to talk about dictatorship. China is a one-party dictatorship. The United States is just a two-party dictatorship. Is there a third party besides these two parties? Who can guarantee the interests of non-party people? I have my own company in the United States. I have been in Hollywood for four years. I can see it clearly. There is no difference here and China, and even the government is even more terrifying. Even the fishing law enforcement is included in the judicial system. There is no tolerance for the people's slightest opposition. Even if there is, it is an objection under the permission of the judicial system. There is a ironic saying that American democracy is 'shut up. We are discussing democracy!'."
"You are sophistry, and what we value most is human rights and democracy..."
Wan Xiaohu had already planned to perform well in exchange for Mark Alba's disagreement with him and Jessica, or even blessings. However, Wan Xiaohu still had an angry young temper. He was stimulated by Mark's proud American mentality and immediately discarded the original plan and started to fight according to reason.
As for whether you get blessings, go to hell.
The uncle has cooked rice with your daughter and cooked it into cooked rice. The child is almost born. If you like to be a grandfather, you have to admit it even if you don’t!
Seeing the conflict between the two gradually intensified, Joshua Alba, who had been sleeping with his eyes squinting, couldn't bear it anymore: "Hi, hey, dad, Tiger, are we going to discuss bullshit politics on Christmas? Dad, shouldn't you be concerned about when the government's promise to veterans will be fulfilled? And Tiger, why are you here to have a meal? Have you forgotten?"
"OK, we won't discuss politics anymore." Wan Xiaohu quickly compromised.
"It can be discussed occasionally, after Christmas," Mark muttered.
Without political topics, I went back dull all the way.
After moving the Christmas tree down and entering the room, Jessica immediately came over with a bowl of stirring eggs and gave Wan Xiaohu a kiss: "How are you playing? Is the Christmas tree going smoothly? Have you had any further communication with my dad?"
"It's OK, the progress is obvious. I was silent before, but now I can discuss political topics together."
"Then keep going."
"OK."
It was busy and it was soon time to have dinner. Jessica and her mother Catherine Alba brought a full table of food together.
After the five people sat down, Mark said, "Pray."
Then the five people held hands, and Wan Xiaohu also held hands, but he didn't want to pray, but just did the same thing.
"Our Lord in heaven, may all men be holy in the name of the Lord. May the kingdom of the Lord come, may the Lord's will be done on earth, as in heaven. Our daily diet is given to us today, to free our debts as we forgive human debts. We do not let us encounter temptations and save us from evil, for kingdom, authority, and glory are all of the Lord forever. Amen!"
The atmosphere was quite harmonious with Jessica's motivation.
After dinner, Katherine and Jessica went to wash the dishes, and the time for Wan Xiaohu to show off against Mark was already here.
...
"Tiger, good news, screenwriters strike, many movies are out of work, and now there is nothing to do in the entire Hollywood special effects company staff. So, we have invited the best and most special effects engineers to participate in the special effects production of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Therefore, re-edit the movie and don't be stingy with special effects shots, it won't cost much."
A few days after Christmas, Wan Xiaohu received a call from the producer to tell him the good news.
The special effect is to burn money, which is a well-known thing.
However, under the screenwriter's strike, the special effects engineers couldn't even eat, so naturally the price was easy to discuss. Twentieth Century Fox was also ruthless enough to attract a large number of unemployed engineers at home at an extremely low price. In order to make some extra money, these engineers had to accept such unreasonable prices.
Who says the market is in a downturn? "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is one of the few movies that require special effects.
"There is also a good thing, it's not bad. I'll re-edit and add some cool shots." Wan Xiaohu was also excited.
The budget for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was that the 20th Century Fox, which was short of money, only gave $90 million. Many of the special effects shots originally designed by Wan Xiaohu could only give up and choose some suitable shots to spend money to make them. Now that this happens, you no longer have to worry about not having enough money to spend, so the big scene should be launched!
Although "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on the previous track is good, there is a problem that has been criticized, that is, "gaochao" is too short, and the audience is watching it, and it suddenly ends. After all, the budget given by 20th Century Fox is too small, and "gaochao" cannot be done. The original director Rupert Vayette is a newcomer.
If there was no screenwriter strike, the shortage of money in 20th Century Fox would have caused the movie made by Wan Xiaohu to have some insufficient potential.
Thanks to the general strike, Wan Xiaohu can modify this flaw.
"Tiger, I think we're ready for promotion. Will you be on a few talk shows?" the producer asked again.
"Sorry, I said I would not participate in the promotion when signing the contract. At most, I will help you stand on the stage when promoting in China. I have too much work now and don't have time to participate in these promotional programs."
"That's a pity."
Does Wan Xiaohu really have no time? In fact, there is time, but it is arranged for private activities.
He wanted to go hunting with his cheap father-in-law Mark Alba.
Before Christmas, Wan Xiaohu never thought that such a thing would happen. After he thought, even if Mark didn't shoot him, he would beat him up. On the contrary, Mark calmly accepted his daughter and became Wan Xiaohu's identity in the outdoor room.
The reason is simple. Mark believes that Wan Xiaohu is not a slick person. He insists on his political stance and speaks it without hesitation even if he hates the United States. It is very similar to him when he was young. Dare to say and do it, this is a real man. How many women does a man have is not a big problem.
A sleek and huddled man is redundant even if he has a woman.
"I won't object to you and Jessica. This is your choice. Jessica has been very independent since she was a child. I believe she has a look at people. But, I must say, if you hurt Jessica that day, I will really shoot."
"Don't worry, Mark, I will never do anything to hurt Jessica until the United States announces a gun ban." Wan Xiaohu swore confidently.
Mark was very satisfied.
It will take 500 years to get the US government to ban guns.
