Chatty Hollywood

"So, we came to Vians Valley today to exchange the soul of the bat demon for the soul of the ghost tiger?"

Three days later, in Vials Valley, Charlize sat on the hood of the car, bored, chatting with Charlotte.

"You and the Lord of Hell have always been in an unobvious confrontational relationship, and now you have to exchange the souls in your hands. This is just like the story of James Donovan!"

"Bridge of Spies?"

After hearing Charlize's words, Charlotte naturally thought of this movie.

Of course, it’s not yet 2015, and this movie based on a spy exchange incident during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union has not yet appeared.

However, the historical facts mentioned by Charlize had already happened in 1960——

That year, the Cold War was going on.

Although the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union was not as tense as it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis two years later, it was already very tense.

Under this situation, the two sides, with the efforts of a private lawyer, James Donovan, conducted a hostage exchange on the Glinik Bridge in East Germany at the time——

Abel, the spy captured by the United States, was exchanged for Gary Powers, the pilot of a U.S. reconnaissance plane shot down by the Soviet Union.

——This is where the name "Bridge of Spies" comes from.

The original script of this story has actually been circulating in Hollywood for some years, but it has never been filmed.

Needless to say, the period from 1960 to 1972——

At that time, McCarthyism was still prevalent in the United States, and the extremely anti-X first FBI Director Edgar Hoover was still alive. Anyone who dared to film this subject was waiting to die of illness or become mentally ill!

——Although most people in Hollywood are loud-mouthed leftists who take pride in criticizing the government-no matter which country it is-but when faced with a truly powerful and terrifying figure like Edgar Hoover, they are still relatively calm. Heartfelt.

After that, with the death of Hoover and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the ideological issues in the United States gradually faded away. However, in the face of the huge pressure from the Soviet Union, it was obvious that a movie that promoted reconciliation with the other side was unlikely to be successful. Marketing.

It was not until the early 1990s, when the Soviet Union completely collapsed, that the market conditions for filming this story into a movie gradually matured.

However, just like Taizu’s poem on the other side of the Pacific Ocean——

"It is better to use your remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord."

——The great United States has finally defeated the evil enemy, and can now criticize the other party as much as it wants. If we don’t promote the greatness of freedom at this time, what are we doing talking about what we have and don’t have?

Although this is not a requirement of the US government, Hollywood filmmakers are still sensitive to the audience's lack of interest in this kind of movie through their own market sense.

——In this case, the script will naturally continue to languish in the script library.

Until last year’s 911 happened——

"Now a trend of reflection is gradually emerging in the United States——"

Charlotte explained to Charlize,

"Some people feel that we have been too inflated after the victory of the Cold War, so we are now... Therefore, they feel that this story of James Donovan may be able to give everyone some inspiration."

"That's right!"

Charlize nodded,

"Then do you think it's possible?"

"That's a good idea, but there is a small problem -"

Charlotte said seriously,

"The idea itself is bullshit!"

"ah!?"

Hearing Charlotte's "little question", Charlize was in a daze for a moment.

Charlotte sighed and said,

"As individuals, of course people can reflect when they feel they have done something wrong, but when it comes to groups at the national level, it is not that easy to reflect - Germany did not start to reflect on the revolution until Berlin was reduced to rubble. In this case, what role can a movie play?”

"What's more, for the sake of market considerations, this kind of reflection will definitely become superficial and eventually turn into a routine story to promote the spirit of freedom."

"This possibility is indeed very high!"

Charlize nodded.

——As a practitioner in Hollywood, she naturally understands what Hollywood is like.

"But according to what you say, isn't our world very sad?"

"It's not that sad."

Charlotte shrugged.

"Sally, the world is not what we ideally want it to be!"

"—It is neither white nor black, but grey."

"When the world is different from our ideals, we cannot complain that the world is wrong and say "it's all the world's fault" - that's the way of thinking of children."

"All we can do is adapt to the world first, and then work hard to change it into what we want it to be!"

"——Isn't this how mankind has been going since the day the fire of civilization was ignited?"

At this point, Charlotte sighed.

But there were some things he didn’t tell Charlize——

To a certain 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 Ocean, "If you go in, you will be helpless, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish."

If people want to move up, they need opponents.

The same goes for countries.

You know, when the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union was at its most intense, the Americans were able to put a man on the moon;

——But fifty years later, they can’t do it anymore;

It was also a time when Kennedy could loudly say, "Ask not 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 beyond what only the politically correct Americans left after the new millennium can match...

*********

Of course, Charlotte and Charlize, one is a white-skinned and yellow-hearted person who traveled through time, and the other is simply a South African of mixed French and German descent. They actually have no sense of responsibility for the development of American society.

What I have said here is just a casual chat because the story about James Donovan came up.

As for why they stayed chatting in the wilderness of Vials Valley instead of immediately carrying out the "exchange" that Charlotte and the Lord of Hell had previously discussed, there was also a reason -

"Although I have discussed it with the Lord of Hell, this is against the rules about death after all, so to complete it, we need to restore the situation as much as possible."

Charlotte explained,

“That naturally includes time and place.”

"I see!"

Charlize understood;

"It was in the middle of the night when we sent the ghost tiger completely into the gate of hell. Does this mean we have to wait until midnight?"

"Yes."

Charlotte nodded, then rolled her eyes.

"Speaking of which, Sally, we were doing one other thing while we were here, do you remember? - You were lying on the hood of the car, and I..."

"etc!"

Charlize reacted immediately,

"Isn't that what happened after the Ghost Tiger was eliminated? Don't even try to lie to me!"

"How could I lie to you?"

Charlotte smiled evilly and said,

"Look, we are idle anyway..."
