823. Different roads(2/3)

The premiere has been cancelled.

Xu Xin smoked on the roadside and waited for the old man's interviews to finish.

"Did you see it?"

Hearing his words, Liu Momo nodded:

"Um."

Xu Xin took off his woolen coat and put it on her body.

"call……"

Los Angeles in January 2012, the beginning of the new year.

Tomorrow, the old man and the others will rush to New York without stopping.

He stood on the street of this international city, but his heart was blocked.

"Sister Mo."

"Um?"

"Have you ever considered returning to China for development?"

"..."

Liu Momo was stunned.

Smiling speechlessly:

"It's not the first day we met. Didn't I explain this question before? Why are we asking again?"

"..."

But Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"What do you think of "Jinling"?"

Hearing this, Liu Momo looked at him again.

Then, the answer she answered was a question that had nothing to do with this question:

"I'm actually not surprised by this result."

"...?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Xu Xin's face:

"ah?"

Liu Momo tightened Xu Xin's coat, looked at the neon lights in front of him and said softly:

"In the eyes of Americans, World War II is a cool drama about revenge. It was a cool drama in which the United States played a decisive role, like a superhero, saving the world."

"..."

This time, Xu Xin understood.

He knew that Sister Mo understood what he wanted to express.

"They actually don't know what suffering is. Even when Pearl Harbor was bombed, if you ask the Americans what they think now, they will tell you that those Japanese should not have provoked us. They don't know their own suffering at all.

Who is the opponent? Even if you ask them how the atomic bomb was dropped, they will tell you that they used a plane. But they will never know that the plane that dropped the atomic bomb landed safely in our country."

"..."

In Xu Xin's silence, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Liu Momo's face:

"As for suffering...for a great hero who has completed his revenge, suffering is just an embellishment in his honor. What's more, these sufferings have long been wiped away by politicians who took advantage of anti-war sentiments to gain power."

"..."

"As for the real history... they dropped the atomic bomb, so they became the heroes who laid the foundation for victory in the war. Their Allies were obviously defeated in World War II, and it was the Soviet Union that resisted the Nazis' iron hoof. But because of the Cold War, all the original

The credit that should belong to the Soviet Union is attributed to the Allies in the textbook. As for us in the Far East... it was just an insignificant conflict between Japanese militarism and us."

"..."

"What's more, if we go deeper, the influence of the Jews in the United States is deeply rooted, whether it is Jerusalem or Israel, they need to use the United States as a springboard to let the world know the suffering they have suffered. To portray themselves as weak, Israel's

Only when it exists can people sympathize and accept it. What about Japan? The Japanese once made bold claims in this country: to buy the entire United States. Although facts have proved that they can still only be a vassal of the United States, but at least they have a sense of belonging here.

Our own status. But what do we have?

To the United States, our suffering is irrelevant. To the Japanese who need to improve their status in the United States, this movie is like an intruder who overestimates his capabilities. If you want to rely on a movie, let alone a movie.

This movie... is based on international controversies and does not exaggerate the suffering that war has brought us. Instead, it puts the perspective into a church and expresses the insignificant highlights in that desperate waste... That is even more impossible.

."

Speaking of this, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Liu Momo's face.

Shrugging to Xu Xin:

"Look, this is America."

As she said that, she looked around to make sure no one was there before she said to Xu Xin:

"Actually, there were some things that I was embarrassed to say at the beginning. Director Zhang wanted to use this movie to win the Olympics... From the day I knew the subject, I was sure that he would not succeed. Even, I was not sure about the box office of this movie in North America.

Not optimistic about it. Because...this is not the rule of Hollywood. What can really defeat Hollywood is not external force. If you want to export your own things, there is only one way for Hollywood. That is to be in it and use their

Rules, beat them."

"..."

Xu Xin doesn't have a very accurate idea of ​​whether what she said is right or wrong.

But after hearing this conclusion, he couldn't help but ask:

"But the most important issue that the two sides should face directly is cultural differences..."

"Of course. It's not just us, this is the same all over the world. In other words, Hollywood's perspective on cultural differences is from a high altitude perspective, rather than a heart-to-heart communication with you. This is a kind of

Arrogance, but it is arrogance based on one's own strength. There is no way. Isn't the United States the same?"

These words made Xu Xin nod unconsciously and sigh:

"So... to tell you the truth, sister, just now, when the movie ended and I watched them asking questions about the movie, I understood what real Hollywood is..."

Having said this, he paused and looked at Liu Momo:

"Sister Mo, what's the point of staying here?"

Liu Momo was stunned again.

Then he looked at him and showed a smile:

"Xu Xin, do you think our personalities are the same?"

"Well……"

Before he could answer, Liu Momo shook his head directly:

"We are different. You are a very focused person, focusing on the present and what you are interested in. If something cannot serve what you are interested in, you will scorn it. The simplest example is English.

In the past six months, you have gone from a person who knows nothing to someone who can communicate with everyone freely. And the reason for all this is because you participated in a film festival and found that you couldn't understand other movies...

...Actually, you are a very utilitarian person. I am different from you..."

She took out an e-cigarette from her handbag, which only became popular last year.

It is said that there are many advantages.

Xu Xin tried it and it didn’t taste good.

But there are many kinds of flavors.

He didn't even know when Liu Momo started smoking this thing.

"puff……"

Smoke with a hint of lemon flavor drifts away.

Liu Momo continued:

"I actually don't like to set goals for myself. Because...when a person sets goals for himself, it means that he has something to ask for. And if he wants something, he will work hard. When he works hard, he will subconsciously mobilize everything he can use.

Things...maybe unknowingly, I have embarked on another path. Therefore, I rarely set any goals for myself. Even if I come here...I just follow the industry that interests me,

The basic principle of doing my own business well. Pfft..."

Another puff of smoke puffed out.

"My father told me that a gentleman is strong without desires. I don't set goals for myself and I don't fight against the world. I integrate here and follow the rules here.

And I actually have only one purpose for doing this.

In essence, my goals and yours are actually similar, that is, to do our own things well. As the saying goes, if you bloom, flowers will come. If you go against the wind and directly enter Hollywood with a high profile, what will you shout when you come up: I

To import Chinese film values ​​​​to Hollywood...believe it or not, it will not survive for three days.

But... I follow the rules of Hollywood and go step by step. Apply what I have learned and integrate things. Then I can subtly show our own things to the people here bit by bit.
To be continued...
