With the question of faith and history as the starting point, Wan Xiaohu and Mark Alba were able to chat. Mark believes in Catholicism, but he did not regard Wan Xiaohu as a heretic. At first, he wanted to laugh at the Chinese people for believing in Marx. Unexpectedly, Wan Xiaohu told him that the Chinese people did not believe in Marx at all, but believed in their ancestors. Now it was hard for him to refute. 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. It is believed that those who do not know Jesus can go to heaven if their life behavior meets Christian standards. Wan Xiaohu doesn¡¯t believe in God, and Mark still doesn¡¯t know that he is stepping on three different boats, so he thinks his behavior is quite acceptable. "How do you atheists view the issue of religion?" Mark asked while driving. "I 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 addition to worshiping ancestors, we in China sometimes also believed in Buddhism and Buddhism. Taoism. Later, after the Opium War, many Western sects entered China. Xiaohu has such a personality that he doesn't intend to make false promises and speaks truthfully. ¡°Missionaries walked the earth and brought God¡¯s instructions to the ignorant land.¡± ¡°China, without God, has spent five thousand years of history and developed a highly brilliant civilization.¡± ¡°It is because there is no God that you will "We still don't have God, but we are getting stronger. Isn't the United States advocating the China threat theory? The United States is afraid of us." "We are not like devils. We Chinese are peace-loving. Have you seen who we invade? On the contrary, the US government that believes in God has attacked Afghanistan, attacked Iraq, sanctioned Syria, and helped Israel massacre Palestinians. "You have violated humanity on the Darfur issue. . You also sell arms to many countries!" Mark said loudly. Wan Xiaohu laughed: "We in China support the Sudanese government to suppress the rebellion for the sake of regional peace. On the contrary, Western governments support the rebels and always want to dismember each country into small pieces, just like the Tibet issue. Tibet is China's sacred and indivisible territory, and it has been since ancient times! However, many Americans support the Dalai Lama's attempt to split Tibet. The same goes for the Taiwan issue. If the United States had not blocked it, why would the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait become increasingly hostile? It interferes in the internal affairs of other countries under the banner of human rights. When it comes to arms sales, it¡¯s ridiculous. The United States is the world¡¯s largest arms giant. ¡°We Americans respect everyone¡¯s human rights, and Taiwanese people have their own decisions. "But why does the United States support the one-China principle and at the same time oppose the mainland government's exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan? Isn't this a ridiculous contradiction?" "I don't know, maybe the government has considerations. We support one-China, but We must also ensure the rights of Taiwanese people. If Taiwanese people do not want to be ruled by China, they should be respected! " "It is even more ridiculous to talk about dictatorship. China is a one-party dictatorship. Except for these two parties, the United States is nothing more than a two-party dictatorship. Is there a third party outside the party? Who will guarantee the interests of people outside the party? I have my own company in the United States and have been in Hollywood for four years. I can see clearly that there is no difference between this place and China, even the government. What¡¯s even more terrifying is that even fishing law enforcement has been incorporated into the judicial system. There is no room for any objection from the people. Even if there is any objection, it is only with the permission of the judiciary. As an ironic saying goes, American democracy is to shut up. We're 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 dissatisfaction with him and Jessica. Opposition, even blessing. However, Wan Xiaohu still had an angry temper and was stimulated by Mark's proud American mentality. He immediately abandoned the original plan and started arguing based on reason. As for whether you get blessing or not, go to hell. "The uncle has cooked rice with your daughter. The baby is about to be born. You like to be a grandpa, so you have to admit it even if you don't admit it!" Seeing the conflict between the two gradually intensifying, Joshua Alba, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, couldn't bear it anymore: "Hey, hey, hey, Dad, Tiger, why do we have to discuss bullshit politics on Christmas? Dad, shouldn¡¯t you be concerned about the government¡¯s treatment of veterans at this time?When will the promise be fulfilled? And Tiger, why did you come to dinner, have you forgotten? " "OK, we won't discuss politics anymore. "Wan Xiaohu quickly compromised. "We can discuss it occasionally, 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 mixing eggs and gave Wan Xiaohu a kiss: "Play How's it going? Did cutting down the Christmas tree go smoothly? Have you had any further communication with my dad? " "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 soon came time for dinner in the evening. Jessica and her mother Catherine Alba brought a table full 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 know how to pray, he just followed the formality. "Our Lord in heaven, may all people hallow the name of the Lord. May the kingdom of the Lord come, and may the Lord¡¯s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we have forgiven our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are the Lord¡¯s forever. Amen! " After a meal, the atmosphere was quite harmonious under Jessica's guidance. After the meal, Catherine and Jessica went to wash the dishes. The time for Wan Xiaohu's showdown with Mark had come. "Tiger, good news, screenwriter A general strike has shut down production on many movies, and now employees of special effects companies throughout Hollywood have nothing to do. Therefore, we invited the best and most special effects engineers to participate in the special effects production of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". So re-edit the movie and don't skimp on the special effects shots, it won't cost much. " A few days after Christmas, Wan Xiaohu received a call from the producer telling him the good news. "Special effects burn money, which is a thing everyone knows. But under the screenwriters' strike, special effects engineers They can't even afford to eat, so naturally the price is negotiable. Twentieth Century Fox is ruthless enough to recruit a large number of unemployed engineers at a very low price. These engineers have to accept this in order to make some extra money. Such an unreasonable price. "The market is sluggish," "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is one of the few movies that requires special effects. "It's a good thing. I'm going to re-edit it and add some coolness." lens. "Wan Xiaohu was also excited. "The budget for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which was short of money, was only given by 20th Century Fox, which was only 90 million US dollars. Many of the special effects shots originally envisioned by Wan Xiaohu had to be given up, and they could only choose some suitable shots and spend money. Production. Now that this happens, you no longer have to worry about not having enough money, so it¡¯s time to launch the big scene! Although the previous movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is good, there is a problem that has been criticized, that is, "gao" "chao" was too short, and the audience was watching it, but it ended suddenly. After all, the budget given by 20th Century Fox was too small, and "chao" could not be made. The original director Rupert Wyatt was a newcomer. If If there is no writers strike, 20th Century Fox, which is short of money, will also cause Wan Xiaohu¡¯s version of the movie to be somewhat lacking in stamina. Thanks to the strike, Wan Xiaohu can correct this flaw. ¡°Tiger, I think we are ready. After the promotion, will you appear on a few talk shows? "The producer asked again. "Sorry, I agreed when I signed the contract that I will not participate in publicity. At most, I will help you stand on stage when promoting in China. I have too many things to do 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, he does have time, but it is just arranged for private activities. He wants to go hunting with his cheap father-in-law Mark Alba. Before Christmas, Wan Xiaohu never imagined that such a thing would happen. He thought that after the showdown, even if Mark didn't shoot him, he would beat him severely. But on the contrary, Mark calmly accepted his daughter's identity as Wan Xiaohu's wife. The reason was simple. Mark believes that Wan Xiaohu is not a smooth person. He insists on his political stance and does not hesitate to speak out even if he hates the United States. He is very similar to him when he was young. He dared to speak and act. This is how many real men there are. Women, this is not a big problem.For a slippery, shrinking man, even having a woman is unnecessary. "I won't object to you and Jessica. This is your choice. Jessica has been very independent since she was a child. I believe in her judgment of people. However, I must say that if you hurt Jesse that day, "Ka, I really know how to shoot." "Don't worry, Mark, I will never do anything to hurt Jessica before the United States announces a ban on guns." Wan Xiaohu vowed. Mark is very satisfied. It is estimated that it will take five hundred years for the U.S. government to ban guns.
