There was such a country in history.
His birth was to awaken China; his growth was to guide China; his prosperity was to help China; and even his demise was to warn China.
He only existed for 74 years, but his huge figure made the whole world tremble.
Its full name is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, abbreviated as the USSR.
It is the first socialist country in the world and is respected as Big Brother by Red China.
He has the most powerful Iron Torrent Army in the world, and his warriors have iron willpower.
He struggled through the hail of bullets on the battlefield. During the most difficult time, a large area of the country fell and all the men died. The tenth-grade boys and women went to the battlefield, where the dawn was quiet.
He defeated his greatest enemy on the battlefield, but was killed by his comrades in peacetime.
Born in greatness, died in humiliation.
Gorbachev, who personally pulled the trigger on the Soviet Union, lived a long and healthy life. After leaving politics, he became a professional actor. His only job was to play Gorbachev in film and television works, announcing the dissolution of the Soviet Union again and again.
Reality is far stranger than comedy.
When the Russian bear was alive, China lived in his shadow, living in fear and always on guard against the outbreak of nuclear war.
At that time, the weak New China had no chance of winning against the steel torrent of the Russian bear. During the most difficult times, the whole country was mobilized to dig air-raid shelters and anti-tank trenches. The leaders at that time even made the worst plan - if necessary, give up most of the territory, hold on to the northwest region, and fight a protracted war.
Only after the Russian bear dies can China fully remember him.
A dead bear is a good bear.
What is tragedy?
Mr. Lu Xun said, tragedy shows people how to destroy valuable things in life, while comedy shows people how to tear apart worthless things.
The Soviet Union was once so prosperous, but was brutally dismembered later. Such a tragedy is shocking enough.
As powerful as the Russian bear is, it was eventually destroyed by cultural brainwashing and peaceful evolution.
The Zerg culture is now on the rise, and Le Jing hopes that this tragedy from thousands of years ago can bring some thoughts and enlightenment to this era.
Although the lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind cannot learn any lessons from history.
But some people also say that history is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations.
Film and television works have a social educational function.
Even if my work can only make one person awaken and grow, it is to accumulate more strength for the future and to light one more match to illuminate the long night.
Le Jing met the leader as he wished, and then told him all his thoughts.
After listening to Le Jing's words, the leader looked at him strangely for a while, then smiled: "Cao Desheng is not wrong."
"No wonder he didn't even want to live for you."
Seeing the surprise on Le Jing's face, the chief laughed, "You don't know yet, do you? In order to get you into the special talent protection program, Cao Desheng said he would give you his place."
"So now I...? Am I taking up Mr. Cao Desheng's place?"
The chief looked at him with a playful expression: "If I say yes, will you give it up?"
Le Jing shook his head and said seriously: "This is his decision. If he thinks it is best to do so, it would be disrespectful to him if I give in. Of course, if Mr. Cao regrets it, then I can withdraw at any time."
The chief laughed, "Old Cao is right, you are a wonderful person." He lit a cigarette, took a puff, blew out a smoke ring, and then looked at Le Jing with a half-smile, "Do you know what Old Cao said about you?"
Le Jing shook his head.
The chief took another puff of his cigarette, his eyes long and he seemed lost in memories.
The old man's face was full of traces of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were as clear and moving as when he was young. He smiled with a bit of childish cunning and said, "I am old and it is time for me to give way to the young. Although the child is young, some people cannot hide their true nature. I knew it as soon as I saw his work. His future has infinite possibilities."
"For this unknown possibility, why should I care about my old and sick body?"
The chief sighed and smiled, retracted his thoughts, and finally said calmly: "Go ahead and make any movie you want. The country will give you the necessary support."
"He has high expectations of you, don't let him down."
Le Jing nodded seriously and said, "I will shoot it well. Thank you for your support."
"But, I have a question." A trace of curiosity flashed in the young man's eyes. "Over the years, the Zerg's cultural invasion has lasted for a long time. What countermeasures will our country take next?"
The chief glanced at him and smiled, "Are you wondering why we discovered and responded to it so late?"
Seeing through the chief, Le Jing no longer tried to hide his true feelings. He nodded openly and added, "If you can't say it, forget it."
The chief sighed, "There's nothing to hide. It's an open secret now. We were careless at the time."
It turns out that hundreds of years ago, the Zerg had always been simple-minded but strong-limbed, and were always dominated by instinct. The only brain in the Zerg was the Zerg Queen, who was obsessed with having children. Therefore, countries around the world had been studying how to suppress them by force, thus ignoring the invasion in the cultural field.
They also didn't think about peacefully evolving the Zerg. Because ordinary Zerg are just tools under the Queen, they have no feelings! Peaceful evolution is useless.
Then, at some unknown time, the Zerg suddenly had an additional evolutionary direction, the brain worm. This human-like, non-insect creature was not as powerful as the traditional Zerg, but it strangely possessed an excellent brain and began to learn from human scientists to develop high technology.
It was at this time that various cultural works of political brainwashing and cultural invasion began to circulate. Limited by the established perception of the Zerg, many countries did not take it seriously at the time. It was only after China suffered a lot of losses that it became wary of the Zerg.
But, it was still a step too late.
In the Earth Alliance, all countries are one big family, and the Chinese Internet does not have walls like in later generations to block foreign bad information. It is easier for citizens to receive information, and naturally they are more easily brainwashed.
The country is now trying hard to seize the right to speak in public opinion and win back the brainwashed citizens.
"In my opinion, movies like "Tulip Beauty" should be banned, what a pity..." The leader frowned and shook his head, looking depressed: "This will cause a diplomatic incident. Zerg..." He smacked his lips, feeling a little toothache, shook his head, and stopped thinking about those depressing things.
Le Jing asked slowly: "As I remember, brainworms... have feelings."
The chief stroked his chin, looked at Le Jing with appreciation, and smiled like a fox: "If there is emotion, there is room for manipulation. Brainworms have integrated our human gene sequences. While they have our advantages, they will definitely inherit our bad habits. Brainworms have many similarities to humans. To put it bluntly, aren't we humans best at internal fighting?"
Le Jing understood and asked, "Do unto others in their own way?"
The chief smiled and patted Le Jing on the shoulder, "Work harder, and let's try to achieve a peaceful evolution for the Zerg."
The young man smiled, with a rare hint of mischief in his eyes: "Okay, I will try my best."
…
Tian Hui did not expect that there would be such a one-sided reversal in online public opinion.
Seeing countless netizens excitedly criticizing "Tulip Beauty" for being rubbish and criticizing the shady dealings of the Ark Awards, for some reason, he was not very angry.
Especially after he heard from Seville that the assassination attempt had failed and Shi Jing had escaped death, he was actually a little happy for Shi Jing.
...He must be crazy.
A cold, inorganic voice suddenly sounded: "You seem very happy?"
Tian Hui was startled, and the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his head and eyes, as if an electric drill was drilling a hole inside.
Tian Hui screamed, held his head and rolled on the ground, trembling.
His head was throbbing with pain, as if something was gnawing at his brain.
He knew it was no illusion.
The bug in his body was now roaming in his brain. It was punishment.
On the computer projection, the blue-gray Zerg were watching his struggle and twisting coldly, with contemptuous eyes as if they were looking at small bugs that could be crushed with a single finger.
Tian Hui burst into tears and babbled without caring about his image: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, please!"
After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Tian Hui's head finally subsided. He calmed down, staggered to his feet, and heard a cold voice floating in the air: "Be honest and don't play any tricks, otherwise, your family will die with you."
Tian Hui had a wooden face, his eyes showed no sign of life, and he bowed deeply, "I understand."
"Shi Jing..." Sewell suddenly let out a strange laugh. Tian Hui shivered with fear. He raised his head in disbelief and saw a hideous and twisted smile appearing on the stiff dead face that had never changed for thousands of years.
It... is laughing?
It... can actually laugh?
"He will die, sooner or later."
After saying this, the computer screen went out and Seville disappeared completely.
Tian Hui patted his chest with lingering fear and remained silent for a long time.
…
Zhang Yanfang had seen all sorts of ups and downs in her life, and she thought that nothing in the world could surprise her anymore.
This is what she thought before she received the call from Shi Jing.
"Sister Zhang, I'm short of a supporting role in my new drama, are you interested?"
Zhang Yanfang didn't take it seriously at the time, "Okay, what time? I'll make time."
The two hit dramas, "Republic of China Literary Masters" and "The Queen's Dog", also brought Zhang Yanfang back to fame, and she is now enjoying a resurgence. Although she has not yet received any relevant acting awards, the real money brought by these two hit dramas is enough for countless investors to wave their money and invite her to film.
In the past few days, she has had several scripts in her hands, one of which she is somewhat interested in.
But no matter when, Shi Jing's work always takes priority.
If there is a schedule conflict, she would rather turn down the offer to be the female lead and play a small supporting role in his new drama.
"The crew hasn't been set up yet, and the main actors need Western faces. I'm still in contact with several actors from the European Federation, so the specific time is still uncertain. But it should be no later than April. You don't have a lot of scenes, so you can take two or three days to come and shoot."
"Okay then, contact me then."
"Before we start filming, there's one more thing... This thing is a bit troublesome."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yanfang joked, "You've made so much money now, you're not going to deduct my pay, are you?"
"Of course not." The young man smiled and fired a bomb as if nothing had happened. "This matter is highly confidential, so you must go through a political review before joining the team. But I have already endorsed you, and the organization will not make it too difficult for you."
Zhang Yanfang: ???
"...Do you want my household registration book, ID card and bank card number next?"
"I don't think so. The organization will directly retrieve your file when the time comes. All of this is clearly written in your file."
Zhang Yanfang sneered, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Le Jing: ? ?
"Are you in some prank show now? Is this a requirement of the show?" Zhang Yanfang crossed her legs and taught earnestly, "Look at you, you can't even make up a lie, what kind of nonsense are you making up? You are no different from those scammers who say "I am so-and-so who disappeared while filming, please send me money"! As a director, aren't you ashamed of such careless acting?"
