Chapter 897: Two Diaries [Four Changes]

At the end of the premiere, most of the audience who came out of the cinema were still immersed in the wonderful plot.

The plot of "Jurassic Park" does not involve any gunfights or violent scenes, but the thrilling level of the movie plot is not at all a lot.

The protagonists in the film are well-deserved dinosaurs of all sizes, and animals that can only be seen in museums now appear alive on the screen, bringing the audience shocks and surprises.

In the film, all kinds of lifelike dinosaur models of all sizes move freely under the control of the computer, with realistic expressions and delicate movements. Their massive and terrifying bodies leap and gallop through the wilderness, destroying modern buildings with ease, chasing vehicles, devouring tourists, fighting each other, and even wittily chasing and fighting their killers...... All of these things not only highlight the difference of this film, but also leave a deep imprint in the minds of the audience.

"Mom, are the dinosaurs in the movie real?"

"Kevin, that's just a model."

"But it's as if it's real."

The mother touched her son's head and muttered, "yes, just like the real thing." ”

Not far from the mother and son, a young black man described to his companion how he felt about watching the film with an exaggerated expression.

"I swear it's the most realistic movie I've ever seen!"

"Come on, Will, that's what you said the last time we watched Godzilla together!"

"But you can't deny that those dinosaurs in the movie look like they're real!"

The companion shrugged, "To your stupid opinion." I don't want to make any judgments. But the movie is at least worth the ticket price! ”

The two have argued that they have not yet come to a conclusion. Two white girls, one tall and one short, walked by.

"I've decided to take a paleontology class for next semester."

"But last time you told me I was going to take modern literature."

"Let that decision go to hell, after watching this movie, I realized that those ancient creatures turned out to be so cute!"

"Cute? If they do come back to life like in the movies, you won't be able to plug their teeth with one of them! ”

"Lily, the dinosaurs are extinct, they can't be resurrected, all we can get into is the movie, all we have access to is the pile of fossils in the museum!"

"But I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to deal with a bunch of bones all day."

"But that's cool. Isn't it? ”

The conversation between the two girls faded away, and Lin Youlun and Lucas, who were standing in the dark, glanced at each other, and each saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Maybe we should call Stephen and find a place to celebrate." Lucas proposed.

Lin Youlun shook his head, "Let's wait for the box office to come out on the premiere day, I'll go back to the hotel first." ”

"Don't you feel like a waste staying in a hotel for such a moment of success?"

"Celebrate with you two old men, I might as well stay in the hotel!" Lin Youlun pursed his lips and refused again with a smile. This time he didn't say hello to Lucas and turned to leave.

looked at Lin Youlun's back as he gradually moved away. Lucas smacked his lips with some envy and said to himself, "It's good to be young, if I were to be thirty years old, I would also find two beautiful girls to have an all-night party!" ”

If Lucas's words were heard by Lin Youlun, he would definitely fall on his head, and he was in a hurry to go back to the hotel because he had made an appointment with two women to meet, but his relationship with these two women was definitely not as Lucas thought.

——

In the hotel café, a young woman with beautiful eyebrows is holding her chin with her hand, staring blankly at the coffee on the table.

Lin Youlun stopped the hotel waiter who was about to be born to remind the other party, gave the other party a fifty dollar tip, and waved him to leave.

After sitting down for about three minutes, the young woman came back to her senses and saw Lin Youlun sitting opposite her, and the expression on her face instantly became very surprised.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I ...... just now"

"What was Miss Zhang thinking just now?"

The woman looked at Lin Youlun and said with a serious expression: "I want to go to China after a while and go to that place of great suffering to see it in person." ”

Lin Youlun picked up the coffee in his hand and glanced at the woman quietly.

"Want to hear my advice?"

"Of course."

"Miss Zhang, it's best to take a break for a while and completely relax your body and mind, so that you can work more effectively."

"Mr. Xie Lu, but I really can't wait any longer!" The woman shook her head, and there was a very decisive light in her eyes: "Every night, when I close my eyes, I always involuntarily think of the faces that died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Japanese soldiers. Most Americans know that the German Nazis massacre Jews during World War II, but few know that across the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese committed the same unpardonable sins as the Nazis on Chinese soil! ”

"Miss Zhang, I can understand your feelings, but you can't do this by relying on your strength alone, or you don't need to take such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders."

The woman shook her head, "I know Mr. Lin's kindness, but I really can't convince myself not to do it. ”

Lin Youlun put down the coffee and sighed softly, "Miss Zhang, I suddenly regret it now, maybe I shouldn't have asked you to find the diary left by Rabe at all." ”

The woman sitting in front of Ms. Lin was named Chunru Zhang, who had just earned a master's degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University and was working as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune when Ms. Lin approached her two years ago.

Lin Youlun funded her to go to Europe to help her find historical information about foreigners recording the Nanjing Massacre, and just half a year ago, Zhang Chunru found a diary left by a German named Johann Rabe, as a witness to the Nanjing Massacre, Rabe recorded in great detail the massacre committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing.

Because this diary was written by a German and is well preserved, once it is published, it will definitely become the most important and detailed historical information for the completion of the Nanjing Massacre.

During Zhang Chunru's search for Rabe's diary, he read a large amount of historical materials about the Nanjing Massacre in the libraries of various universities in the United States.

During this period, Zhang Chunru also found another precious historical material in the library of Yale University in the United States - "Weitling Diary", the owner of the diary, Ms. Minnie Weitling, was the dean and head of the education department of Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences in the 30s of the 20th century, and the diary recorded in detail her personal experience of the crimes of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese invasion of China, as well as the colonial rule of the Japanese army in Nanjing in the following years.

The two diaries were handed over to Lin Youlun, and Zhang Chunru's work was already over, but she herself did not think so, because of a series of touches during this period, she decided to go to Nanjing, China to do a more in-depth investigation, and then write a related book to inform the Western world of the accumulated crimes that the Japanese had put down back then.

Lin Youlun saw that Zhang Chunru had made up his mind, so he didn't persuade her again, but took out the checkbook from his pocket, quickly filled in a string of six-digit numbers on it, tore it off and pushed it in front of Zhang Chunru.

"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that?"

Lin Youlun hired Zhang Chunru to pay a lump sum two years ago for searching for overseas materials on the Nanjing Massacre, and Lin Youlun wrote another check at this time, and Zhang Chunru instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Miss Zhang will definitely spend money on going to China to find information, and this money will be used as my fund to support Miss Zhang's book."

Zhang Chunru did not hand the check, but hesitated.

"I did this voluntarily, originally before, I wanted to return the money that Mr. Lin paid me, but now I can't take your money anymore!"

"Miss Zhang refuses to accept this money, so she looks down on me?"

Lin Youlun said this, and Zhang Chunru hurriedly waved his hand.

"Mr. Lin, don't say that, I definitely don't mean that."

"Then Miss Zhang will accept it, by the way, before you go to the mainland, you can go to Hong Kong first, I will introduce Miss Zhang to a friend, he is planning to make a film reflecting the Nanjing Massacre, you should find a common language."

Lin Youlun said this, Zhang Chunru had no choice but to refuse, so he had to put away the check with $100,000 written on it.

"I also made an appointment to meet other people, the other party is also a Chinese female writer, if Miss Zhang is interested, you can stay together to meet each other, of course, if you have other things, then I will not keep you."

"Then I'd better take my leave."

Zhang Chunru stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered another thing.

"Mr. Lin, I would venture to ask, did you ask me to look for "Rabe's Diary" and "Weitling's Diary" to make a film reflecting the Nanjing Massacre?"

Lin Youlun nodded, looking at Zhang Chunru, he knew that the other party must still have something to ask.

"I wonder who Mr. Lu Daolin is going to find to direct this movie?"

"Steven Spielberg."

Zhang Chunru's eyes lit up, "So Mr. Lin is preparing to adapt "Rabe's Diary" into a movie?" ”

Lin Youlun shrugged noncommittally, "Why is Miss Zhang so sure?" ”

Zhang Chunru said without thinking: "I have read the original novel of "Schindler's List", and I feel that Schindler and Rabe have a lot in common, they are both Nazi backgrounds, and they used their identities as a cover to help many people escape the massacre, since Mr. Spielberg filmed "Schindler's List", then he should also be interested in "Rabe's Diary". ”

Lin Youlun was silent for a while, and then gave Zhang Chunru an ambiguous answer.

"I hope so." (To be continued......)
