Chapter 438: What About My Child?
"From the beginning of the year to the craze for Hollywood? Did you lead it? Elizabeth Taylor's eyes flashed, and she asked a somewhat complicated rhetorical question, after all, Hollywood was her place of work, and it happened to be in her golden age. Every year, the competition is fierce, and all this is overshadowed by the FBI's thorough investigation of Hollywood. Many actors and producers were very surprised by this trend, and fear followed. Political correctness exists in every country, but in different ways. The same is true of the United States, which, once it is really ready to purge public opinion, is not much better than the Soviet Union.
"Yes, isn't Marilyn Monroe's escape just an introduction! Say something you don't know, go to Hollywood, and the FBI will help us get there! Serov smiled and took the lady's cigarette handed over by Elizabeth Taylor, and said very smugly, "It's better this way, the fifth column of the Soviet cultural circles in the province has nothing to do to express pro-American ideas." ”
The FBI's purge operation can help the KGB from the side, but of course this is far from enough, and it is better to use the east wind to first use the American ideological trend to impact the Soviet cultural circles, and then use the Chinese ideological trend to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. In fact, neither the actions of the United States nor the ideas of China can have a decisive impact on the situation in the Soviet Union, but this is difficult for Serov, who is the enforcer of the Soviet Union? That's the State Security Council of the USSR, and who is the chairman of the State Security Council? It was Serov himself, and when the time came, he could have pretended to be influenced and acted as powerless to purge the Soviet cultural circles.
"A few words from you will make the entire Hollywood actors got!" Elizabeth Taylor rubbed into Serov's arms and said coquettishly, "Now I feel that my childhood dream is ......worthless in the eyes of some big forces."
"You just found out!" Serov unconsciously reached out and reached into Elizabeth Taylor's clothes along his chest, pinched it twice, and said softly, "How fresh a realization?" There are only a few organizations in the world that can be named, but there is definitely no actors' union among them, and actors have only one role in the world, to be marionettes and output values that represent their own countries! ”
"Lighter, it hurts!" Elizabeth Taylor begged for mercy in a low voice, and immediately felt that the big hand on her chest was really soft, and then continued, "Hollywood's hegemony is the most difficult to break, but I didn't expect it to be the national power of the United States to attack us!" ”
Is that of course, Hollywood more important than the number of nuclear weapons and the launch code of the United States? It just so happens that Serov knows these two figures, and by the way, he installed a handful at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and learned that the US government, which had leaked his top secrets, did not blow up Mao's search for where the news had leaked. Hoover must have thought that there was a lot of things in Monroe's diary that were leaked by the Kennedy brothers, and that Monroe's ex-husband was himself a leftist, so the KGB spread some fake news and went along with the boat to investigate Hollywood.
"For the United States, of course, this is the difference between giving oneself a knife and giving oneself two knives, except that it hurts more, but the Americans can't help it, but it's not a bad thing for some people, isn't it, Martha!" Serov pressed the cigarette butt and turned around, with an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it much more interesting to take advantage of this opportunity than to be a little actor for you?" ”
Serov's words made Elizabeth Taylor's breath quicken, something she wanted more now. Designed by Serov in Italy, it was dangerous in a sense, but it also allowed her to see a different world. With the support of a big force like the KGB, she can call the wind and rain in the film and television industry by herself, and she doesn't have to look at the eyes of those bosses.
At this time, Elizabeth Taylor has set her sights high, in the past, she was only pursuing the title of a movie queen, but now she has a bigger goal, Elizabeth Taylor, who met Serov, reshaped her own values, and now nothing else matters, only becoming a real giant is important.
"As long as we follow this trend and set up film and television companies in Europe, we will be able to absorb the producers, directors and actors who have left the United States because of this turmoil!" Elizabeth Taylor's purple eyes stared at the man in front of her, her eyes full of longing. A pair of jade hands tightly grabbed one of Serov's hands, and said step by step, "In this way, the purpose of your KGB has also been achieved, and the trend of flowing talents to Hollywood has been directly blocked in Europe." ”
Hollywood hegemony, Hollywood is one of the pillars of the American cultural industry, and the mass media in the United States is a powerful driving force and powerful tool for it to implement cultural expansion and cultural hegemony. As a representative of the current American pop culture, Hollywood movies have played an important role in the expansion of American cultural hegemony. The main theories are Gramsci's theory of cultural hegemony and Said's theory of cultural imperialism, which analyzes the cultural expansion and hegemony of the United States in the world through Hollywood films. Its main means is to shape the image of the American nation and promote American values and ******** through film. There are three images portrayed in Hollywood movies: the image of the savior, the image of the mythical state and the image of the technological overlord.
Using movies to subtly make people in other countries yearn for the United States is actually not a new method. Lenin understood this in the early days of the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, and film propaganda has always been an important propaganda avenue in the Soviet Union. In the face of ordinary opponents, it did not suffer at all, but the opponent of Hollywood after World War II has obviously exceeded the scope of Soviet films, and Hollywood, which has absorbed European filmmakers, directors and actors, has made Soviet films very difficult.
But if Hollywood can't attract these talents from outside the United States, the Soviet Union won't have such a hard time coping with it, and Hollywood, which has no talent inflow, is just a production area for American films, and it can't embody that kind of cultural hegemony. So to cut off Hollywood's attraction to actors from European countries, Hollywood's martial arts are at least half wasted.
Hollywood, which has no talent inflow from other countries, can only represent the United States itself, and the United States and the Soviet Union alone are not afraid, the United States is not terrible, but what is terrible is the imperialist powers such as Britain, France, Germany, and Japan behind the United States.
"When did you have that value? It's hard to believe that the values are right! Serov had a strange feeling in his heart, and Elizabeth Taylor gave him a sense of freshness called embarrassment compared to his own women in the Soviet Union.
Once a woman is treasonous, it is really terrible, Serov under the guise of going abroad for an expedition suddenly changed his face, Elizabeth Taylor did not continue to see Serov's face, decided to strike while the iron was hot to get the support of this man, kissed Serov's face and said, "I'll go take a shower first, and we'll talk about it then!" ”
"Wait!" Serov pulled the woman back with an unchanged face and said in a low voice, "There are some things that can be discussed again, if you want to support me, I will give it, as long as it can be beneficial to the Soviet Union, I have no reason not to do it." But I hate the feeling of being pinched, and now I have a question, what about my child? Where is he? ”
Serov, who was almost carried away by beauty, finally remembered that Elizabeth Taylor secretly gave birth to her child, which had a certain threat to him, of course, it would be no good if he leaked this woman, but Serov, who had become chairman of the KGB, was more disadvantageous, and this problem must be solved.
Seeing Serov's serious expression, a trace of nervousness flashed on Elizabeth Taylor's face, for her, the child with Serov was a life-saving charm, and she was afraid that sooner or later she would die like her ex-husband.
For Elizabeth Taylor's thoughts, Serov is in a kind of mood like a dog, he seems to have said this question last time, your husband's death was a complete accident, and it was not done by the KGB at all. The relationship between the two was originally very simple, that is, Serov was ready to use this woman to get his hands on Monroe's diary, a pure superior-subordinate relationship. As a result, there was a windfall in the momentary relaxation, and now the child in the hands of Elizabeth Taylor complicates the relationship between the two people.
"I repeat, we didn't kill your husband! Also, this kid is easy to leak with you, I'm going to take the Soviet Union! Serov suppressed his voice and said, "You have no benefit in carrying a child, are you going to threaten me?" ”
"I never wanted to threaten you, but the child is also mine, I have never been married, and I am ready to raise our child in the future, why do you want to take the child away from me and prepare to abandon me?" Elizabeth Taylor asked with tears in her eyes.
Where does this start? Serov was speechless for a while, and it took a long time before he said, "I am the chairman of the National Security Council of the Soviet Union, and once the relationship between you and me leaks, it will not be good for us." ”
"If you marry me, then I believe that you will not abandon me when necessary!" Elizabeth Taylor shook her head, stared at Serov with purple eyes, and said, "So that I can explain how to raise a sum of money that can be used to acquire 20th Century Fox, otherwise I will definitely arouse suspicion when I return to the United States with such a large amount of money." ”
Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra, starring Elizabeth Taylor, was released two months ago, but it didn't even recoup half of the cost. Serov, if I'm not mistaken, 20th Century Fox almost went bankrupt because of this film, and it wasn't until the 21st century that it barely recovered its costs, and if inflation is taken into account, Serov died in his previous life and didn't see the day when the film recouped its costs. Serov had earlier supported Elizabeth Taylor's acquisition of the company after the failure of 20th Century Fox.
"I support the acquisition, and I can also provide the funds, but are you crazy to get married, I have a family, and you are just my subordinate!" Serov's categorical rejection of Elizabeth Taylor's proposal was too dangerous. (To be continued.) )
