Power comes from the power itself, while people are social, and people are organized through various social relations, and what emerges from the expression is the power of society. At this time, only those who can effectively mobilize the power of society are the people who are truly powerful, that is, those who hold power. When power develops to a certain level, power is fixed, forming a kind of institutionalization and organization. At this time, power was not limited to the original force, but was more extensive, extending to military, political, economic, ideological, cultural, and so on. However, for a considerable period of time, its violent character has persisted, and it has resorted to means such as personal attachment and ideological control, so that people are subdued at the feet of power.

But fundamentally, power still derives from the power of conquest and the power of life and death, especially the destructive character of violence and the constant fear that comes with it. Historically, we can see that powerful rulers often use direct control to strike at people and things that are not as intended.

These things are a bit obscure, and they are different from Sun Ziming's education, but they are deeply fearful in his heart, and they are also the reason why he and Yang Guozhong tried their best to take the Xingtian Society away from Guangzai. A large organization with a violent character, in the hands of a person with violent tendencies and full authority, will sooner or later lead everyone to ruin. They have seen with their own eyes how one man used his power and authority to drag an entire nation into a decade of catastrophe.

……

Out of common interests, after reaching an agreement with Yang Guozhong, Helen had a deep talk with Sun Ziming, and her British passport was obtained for him by her connection.

"Ming, the world is run by the Americans, you have to follow their wishes, I say this, can you understand?"

Speaking from the heart, if there was no such thing, Helen would be a pretty good friend, and Sun Ziming also had the intention of repairing the friendship between the two sides. Now that the other party took the initiative to throw an olive branch, Sun Ziming also said sincerely: "Helen, I understand what you mean." I'm a bit idealistic, but I'm just a businessman. ”

Helen understood what Sun Tzu was talking about, and that there were aristocrats, peasants, workers, and even slaves in history who were ambitious about political power, but few merchants liked to rob them. For businessmen, money can solve no problem, and thus lose the ambition to directly seize power, and their usual resort is to join the political forces or use their wealth to support their own interests.

"No, you still don't understand what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter what you think, it's important to let Washington know that you won't get into trouble again. Ming and political characters are pessimistic, and they like to think about things in the worst way, so as to prevent things from developing in the bad way. ”

Sun Ziming was silent, and only hesitated for a long time: "Then what should I do, so that they can rest assured?" I have disclosed my personnel and finances to all members, and I have promised them that after three years, they will vote for the leaders of each chapter and general meeting. ”

“Good！ This will convince them to give you three years, but it will not be enough, do you know what they fear the most? ”

"I don't know!"

Helen put down the coffee, stared into Sun Ziming's eyes, and said word by word: "We Westerners can worship God because God is in heaven." If you think about Hitler, you can understand what we are most afraid of. ”

Hitler? Sun Ziming looked at Helen incredulously, what else did he have in common with him?

He discriminates against Jews, Slavs, a small and weak people, and you discriminate against the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. Obviously, racial discrimination exists everywhere, but in a civilized society, it is rare to find an excuse to directly slaughter each other like you do. ”

Sun Ziming just wanted to refute, but James interrupted: "You don't have to argue, you and I know the truth very well." The Indonesians are the first to act, but what about those guerrillas? The Chinese have only suffered 1,000 casualties, while the Indonesians have suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and if there were no tendentious reports from the media, Freemasonry would have become a terrorist organization long ago! ”

Do Westerners do less of that kind of thing? , isn't this just that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps?

Seeing that Sun Ziming's anger protruded, Helen patted his hand on the sofa and said in a softer tone: "Ming, although we just had a little misunderstanding, we are still friends after all." As long as there is no fundamental conflict of interest, we are all people who are willing to help friends, which is why I took the initiative to meet you.

And from the perspective of interests, we also need the power of the Chinese Freemasons in Southeast Asia. ”

"Ok, you continue", Sun Ziming took two deep breaths, and his face calmed down again. Helen and his wife are indeed good friends and have taken the initiative to help themselves a lot, if it weren't for the conflict of interests between the two parties, they would not have made a bad relationship with her. As she said, if the new company wants to seek greater benefits in Southeast Asia, the Chinese Freemasonry will be her help, not a hindrance. From this point on, the interests of both sides are aligned.

"Americans like to find an upright excuse to do things, for democracy, for freedom, and even for human rights. Last time, you had a good grasp of the entry point, and public opinion was completely biased in your side, so Washington wanted to deal with you, and for a while there was no excuse. On the contrary, I will cooperate with you to raise the banner of democracy and freedom and condemn the Indonesian government.

However, that doesn't mean they will agree, or even have a minimum of trust. Believe me, if you can't prove that Freemasonry is just a mutual aid organization and won't get them into trouble in the future, when the limelight is over, they will start to suppress you until they can weaken you to the point where they can rest assured. ”

These things are also what Sun Ziming is most worried about, as Helen said, the world is in charge of the Americans, and before no country can challenge it, it is better to follow its rules, otherwise it will be its enemy.

"Ok, what should I do then?"

Mr. and Mrs. Helen finally breathed a sigh of relief, this kid was too stubborn, and it was really not easy to get him to bow his head.

"First of all, you have to break your current image, you are too perfect now, you have been molded by the media as a god on earth!"

"What?"

Sun Ziming pointed to his nose and cried and laughed, except that he had never killed anyone with his own hands, what bad things had he not done?

"Don't laugh! In the eyes of the public, you are the embodiment of perfection, talented, emotionally single-minded, benevolent, and full of responsibility ...... society. Aside from your bad temper, have you ever heard anything bad about you in any media? Even if they report on your quarrels and fights, they do so in a mocking tone and without malice.

Yes, you're not a good person in the traditional sense, but your company's PR staff and media collaboration have molded you into a perfect person in the eyes of the public except for a bad temper. People have the instinct to worship heroes, and in the past there was no problem with this image, and everyone would accept it. But not anymore, because you become the head of an organization, and if the image is perfect, it is easy to be reminiscent of Hitler!

So, I'd better be high-profile and let the public know about you. ”

Sun Ziming couldn't cry or laugh again, he worked hard at the beginning, but now he has become his shackles! However, if you don't want to disclose your assets, it seems that you can only ask the people in the public relations department to stop carrying yourself to the altar. Relying on being a national idol to increase the appeal of the box office, and then increase the box office, it is no longer of much use to himself.

Hey, if there is no conflict of interest, Helen and his wife are indeed quite good.

……

As Sun Ziming began to put all his energy into the post-production of the film, Greenton's work rhythm also accelerated abruptly. The two usually work slowly and urgently workaholics work together, and naturally collide from time to time with sparks, and the two top directors and editors who have won the little golden man break out from time to time in the post-production department of the light and shadow company.

"Shit! This shot should change from fast to slow to set off the atmosphere! ”

“Shit！ Slow to fast can be more coordinated! ”

"Lao Tzu is the director!"

"What's so great about the director? I took the little golden man, I was the editor, and I knew how to cut a great movie! ”

"You haven't taken it to me? If you can take it, Lao Tzu has taken it! If you didn't have me, would you be able to take the little golden man? ”

The quarrel between the two changed from the camera to who achieved higher and who achieved whom, the two shrews who were alive, and those who could learn and observe were stunned. Li Rui and Lian Beina, who came from the United States on purpose to solve Sun Ziming's problems, were so excited that they danced excitedly, for fear that their subordinates would miss something.

……

"Some people say that the director is a liar, deceiving the audience into joy and sorrow in the cinema. Today's story tells us that the director is actually an actor......"

In ESPN's entertainment news that night, the quarrel between the two was broadcast, and the American people laughed from ear to ear.

"God, this is China Ming, I thought he had changed his career to become a politician."

"John, we must go see this movie!"

"I definitely want to see it, I heard that China Ming has been preparing for two years for this movie!"

Others watched the recording of entertainment news under the reminder of their assistants, and watched the angry pictures of the two thoughtfully. Could it be that China Ming, as he himself said, only wants to make movies, and the rest are forced to helpless?

If you want to be a political character, image is the most important thing, but that guy is self-destructing his image!

The effect of entertainment news quickly fed back to Sun Zi Mingna, who was busy in Hong Kong, and he was so happy that he hated to immediately give Li Rui and Lian Beina a salary increase and promotion.

"Lian Beina, Ari, can you make a show and put all my scenes of swearing, arguing, and fighting on the set. Well, it means that the more fierce the noise and the more fierce the scolding, the more classic the film will be! ”

Lian Beina, who still has charm, only thought that this was a hype film, and agreed repeatedly. Li Ruike had other ideas, and after his boss left, he whispered: "Brother Ming, do you still want to be a director for the rest of your life?" ”

Sun Ziming glared at this henchman who dared to blackmail him at the beginning, and warned: "Ah Rui, people are self-aware, don't harm me, don't harm yourself, understand?" ”

Li Rui was taken aback, and hurriedly stood with his hands tied, "Understand, people are self-aware!" ”

With the permission of Boss, the public relations department of the light and shadow company began to act, and cooperated with the progress of the film's production, constantly breaking the news of some of Sun Ziming's life and the tidbits on the set as entertainment news, while hyping the film to everyone, it also completely stripped Sun Ziming's halo.

"Oh, my/god, China is it clear that they are gambling? Wow, is that stack worth $100,000? ”

"Oh God, how much wine did he drink?"

The reason why Sun Ziming is regarded as an idol by many Americans, in addition to his brilliant achievements, is more because he is low-key and gives the public a very mysterious feeling. When stripping away the halo on his body, the genius China Ming in the eyes of American fans began to step down from the altar and became an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere in his life, but this ordinary person is a really good person.
