Republic Era Arc (Completed):
Q: How does a heavy opium addict who gambles, drinks...
The singing stopped and the screen suddenly turned black. Xie Xun blinked blankly. Was the movie over?
At this moment, countless intense emotions were stirring in his mind, and he was eager to express his feelings in words. He had almost conceived the beginning of the film review: "The Soviet Union, the first socialist country in human history, survived civil war, famine, World War II, nuclear leakage, but was destroyed by peaceful evolution..."
Then Xie Xun's thoughts were interrupted by a sharp gunshot, and then he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and screams one after another.
Xie Xun opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and saw the scene reappear. The moment he saw it clearly, Xie Xun couldn't help but let out a scream of fear.
There was a hole in the old man's sunshade, and his white brain matter was all over the floor. He lay in a pool of blood with his eyes open, an elusive smile on his lips, and a rusty old-fashioned pistol was tightly held in his hand.
The young people gathered around his body in panic, making broken and messy sounds.
The screen suddenly went black. This time, it was completely over. The credits began to roll. Xie Xun stood there in a daze, his mind a mess.
Menshak is dead?
He committed suicide!
Why did he commit suicide?
No, this question should no longer need to be asked.
The question should be, why did Menshack choose to die today, and why did he commit suicide in front of young people?
Thinking of the faint smile on Menshak's lips, Xie Xun seemed to have noticed something.
He was using his death to make those young people remember him forever, remember them, remember the history they represented, and remember the Soviet Union that had already disintegrated.
Did Menshak decide to commit suicide before going to the cemetery?
Or was this just a spur of the moment decision?
Why did Director Shi make such a film? Why did he use Soviet history as a starting point? Is there any hidden purpose in combining this film with the present?
Is Shi Jing using history to satirize the present?
The demise of the Soviet Union was partly due to the peaceful evolution of Western capitalist countries, which corrupted party members and cadres with money. So now, are there also hostile elements who are peacefully evolving China? Are the criticisms of the government and the system on the Internet in recent years proof that their ideology has been corrupted and invaded?
Too many questions lingered in Xie Xun's mind.
Xie Xun felt that he needed to read it again to grasp more details and get the answer to the question.
When the movie is released, he will definitely go to the cinema to watch it several times!
…
Mo Mingrui returned home in a daze.
The terminal kept vibrating, and someone kept trying to contact him. When Mo Mingrui opened the chat software, he was flooded with private messages.
Ever since Mo Mingrui announced in the fan group that he was going to watch the premiere of "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", the fan group went wild, and people kept asking him to explain the plot to them when he came back.
Mo Mingrui did not just go to the premiere, he also had the task of writing film reviews. There is a special film review section on their Renren Daily website, where professional film critics would write film reviews.
This time, the editor-in-chief gave the opportunity to Mo Mingrui because he was a fan of Shi Jing.
Now that the movie is over, naturally many friends anxiously asked him about his thoughts after watching it.
It's Luo Bao, not Luo Bo: "How was the movie? Was it good?"
Black Cat Knight: "What's the movie about?!"
The nitpicker has no parents: "What do you think of the movie? How would you rate it out of 10?"
These three were the netizens with whom Mo Mingrui had a good relationship, and he and Luo Bao were even friends who had dated offline, so he gave priority to answering the questions of these three people.
"Super nice!! Highly recommended!"
"I can't explain it to you clearly, but it's really good. It's released on October 1st, you must go and see it!"
"I give you 100 points! Director Shi is so awesome! Words cannot describe how awesome he is!"
Although more than an hour has passed, Mo Mingrui still feels sore eyes, choked throat, and all kinds of complex and unspeakable emotions surging in his heart when he recalls the plot.
"The Dawns Here Are Quiet" is a film about the history of the Soviet Union, but it does not seem to be simply telling the history. Shi Jing seems to be using this history to tell the audience something.
Mo Mingrui was keenly aware of this and had some vague thoughts in his mind.
As powerful as the Soviet Union was, it withstood countless storms, but in the end it was rashly disintegrated because of a few traitors. Such a frivolous ending is simply an insult to the victims.
At that time, most people, including Menshak, did not think that the Soviet Union would really disintegrate. He just thought that the Soviet Union had encountered some problems, but these problems were not unsolvable. As long as all the people were united, they would be able to resolve them easily this time, just like the countless crises they had encountered in the past.
But the Soviet Union collapsed anyway.
Because human hearts are like smoke, and human hearts...are changeable.
This is the terrifying thing about peaceful evolution. It can easily shake people's thoughts and beliefs, and thus shake the foundation of a country.
For some reason, Mo Mingrui suddenly remembered some comments he had seen online:
"The Zerg are the ancestors of mankind!" "I can be Seville!" "The brain worm is the most perfect direction of biological evolution" "I want to be a Zerg in my next life"...
These stupid remarks, which he had scoffed at in the past, now had an impact on him no less than the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion.
He felt a terrible dizziness.
Peaceful evolution...
So early...?!
He stood blankly in the bedroom, his scalp tingling, as if countless insects and ants were gnawing at his goose bumps.
…
"China Film Network, September 21 (Reporter Zhao Dongmei) The film "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", produced by the Central Propaganda Department of the State Council, held its premiere at the Beijing Grand Theater on the 21st. Director Shi Jing and famous domestic and foreign actors Levgrad, Lancelot, Williams, Zhang Yanfang and others attended the premiere and interacted closely with the audience..."
"...Director Shi Jing said at the premiere that although "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" is based on Soviet history, it has important enlightenment in today's era. Although the demise of the Soviet Union had its own reasons, we cannot ignore the role of peaceful evolution in fueling the flames... In the information age, we should be more vigilant against cultural invasion and peaceful evolution, otherwise, the Soviet Union's yesterday will be our today..."
Cao Desheng turned off the video, and the wrinkles on his face were as stiff as marble slabs.
In stark contrast to his stiff face was his exceptionally active cerebral cortex, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind at once.
After an unknown amount of time, he sighed slowly and curled the corners of his mouth helplessly. His expression looked more like expectation than depression.
He could already foresee what an explosive impact this movie would have after it was released.
"The Dawns Here Are Quiet", a film based on Soviet history, is bound to be given more meaning in the new era.
We have already drawn our swords. How are you going to attack?
…
Insect Star, Imperial City.
"Welcome everyone to watch today's "Movie Guide". I am the host Song Jiajia. Today, our column team has invited a heavyweight guest, director Shi Jingshi, to tell us about his new movie "The Dawns Here Are Quiet"
The man called "Shi Dao" by the host was a young man who looked to be no more than 20 years old. He had bright almond-shaped eyes, pearly lips and a smile that was not revealed. He was gentle, handsome and elegant, with a graceful demeanor, and made people feel like they had known him for a long time at first sight.
However, Seville, who was watching the video at this time, had a cold gaze, and his eyes looking at the young man on the screen contained inorganic evaluation and scrutiny.
"We all know that The Dawns Here Are Quiet is a film about Soviet history. Why did you choose this subject, Director Shi?"
“Because the difficulties the Soviet Union faced during its development are very similar to the difficulties we are facing now.”
"What is the dilemma? Can you tell us more about it?"
The young man smiled gently, but his eyes were sharp. "Is there any difference between the peaceful evolution of the Soviet Union by Western capitalist countries and the cultural invasion and brainwashing from the Zerg today?"
With a "crack", Seville crushed the armrest of the chair into pieces.
He looked at the young man who was talking on the screen, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
It seems that this person cannot be kept.
Suddenly, the feelers on his forehead moved and caught that special pheromone—it was the queen! The queen had summoned him!
He immediately opened the door, spread his wings, and flew towards the palace.
…
It was half an hour later that Sewell actually saw the Queen.
The queen is eating and laying eggs at the same time.
He knelt down, his forehead tentacles touching the ground, and tenderly exposed his fragile neck to the queen, "King, Sewell is at your service."
If entomologists on Earth saw this scene, they would surely exclaim in surprise. The insect that Sewell honored as the king looked completely different from the queen recorded in previous books.
The queen of this generation is an extremely terrifying alien.
If you only look at her upper body and ignore her dark purple skin color, she is undoubtedly an absolute beauty with a great figure. However, from her waist down, she has a huge abdomen and limbs similar to those of a spider.
At this time, new eggs were constantly being born from below her abdomen. The engineers quickly transported the eggs away and sent them to a special incubator for hatching.
In order to replenish the energy for production, the queen has to eat a lot of fresh flesh and blood every day, which comes from various races in the universe. The queen extracts excellent genes from different races by swallowing flesh and blood, and then copies the same gene sequence to her offspring, thus completing the evolution of the Zerg again and again.
"Sevier, I heard that you wanted to assassinate a director a few days ago?"
"Yes, he escaped, but I will kill him next time."
The queen devoured the flesh and blood in big mouthfuls while mumbling, "His works are quite popular. I read them before when I was bored, and then I found something very interesting."
She chewed a human rib and swallowed it, then licked the blood on her fingers, her voice lingering, "We have destroyed most of human history, but all the works he filmed are restorations of the real history that has been destroyed. It's really interesting, isn't it?"
Sewell's heart was shaken. He even forgot his deep respect for the Queen. He looked up at the Queen and asked in a lost voice, "Is he filming true history?"
Although the Zerg destroyed the historical data of the human side, there is still a backup on the Zerg Planet. However, the content of this backup is the top secret of the Zerg Planet, and only the queen and some of her confidants know it. Seville, of course, doesn't know.
The queen tilted her head and smiled innocently like a little girl: "Tell me, where did he know the true history?"
The author has something to say:
There was a bug before. "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" should have been released on National Day, but the premiere should have been held a week in advance. I'll change it.
