"The State of Oregon passed the Death with Dignity Act in 1994, the first lawful physician-assisted suicide law in American history. Although the purpose of the Death with Dignity Act is to reduce the death rate of patients Painful, but because these bills involve many issues such as medicine, law, and ethics, they are very controversial." Brad Pitt thought for a while, and then said seriously and seriously: "For this reason, countless Christians are protesting, The American media is arguing, and the topic effect has even continued to this day. But your movie ends with the heroine being euthanized and the supporting actor continuing to live. In the eyes of the Puritans, this is completely murder and getting away with it! Smith, your thoughts are very good Okay, but I think the shooting of this movie will be delayed."

   Zhang Dongcheng looked at Brad Pitt's face, looked into his eyes, and sighed softly. It turned out that the reason really appeared here, in a completely different time and space latitude from the original movie.

  In fact, people's views on euthanasia are gradually improving, and the "Death with Dignity Act" took effect in Oregon on October 27, 1997.

  In 1999, the State of Texas passed the "Advance Directives Act" (en:AdvanceDirectivesAct), the hospital can remove the patient's life support system against the wishes of the patient or his legal guardian. Hospitals can avoid prosecution or criminal penalties for doing so, and doctors won't have their licenses revoked.

If the doctor believes that the treatment plan requested by the patient and his family to maintain the patient's life is ineffective, he will submit the case to the hospital's ethics committee for review. If the ethics committee agrees with the doctor's opinion, the patient's family and attorney have 10 days Time to transfer the patient to another doctor who is willing to implement the family treatment plan, or to another hospital for treatment. If 10 days have passed and the procedure has not been completed, the hospital can remove the patient's life support system regardless of the patient's wishes. If minors are involved, life support can also be withdrawn from the patient regardless of the wishes of the child's parents and legal guardians.

   This is euthanasia in disguise, and it is legally recognized.

A few years later, "Million Dollar Baby" appeared in 2004. At this time, Americans had completely put aside their views and controversies on euthanasia, and devoted themselves to understanding the connotation of the movie, which created a sweeping movie. "Million Dollar Baby" won the four most important trophies of the 77th Academy Awards.

   This is not something that can be done wrong with a golden finger. If you think you can make any movie, or if you stick to it and go all the way to the dark, you can solve it!

Indeed, it is true that he knows too little about American movies, Zhang Dongcheng sighed, put "Million Dollar Baby" in the drawer, took a deep breath, and showed a difficult smile to Brad Pitt: "Thank you, Pete. You got me off the hook."

   "Haha, of course, we are friends, by the way, how about making another Smoking Barrel?" Brad Pitt smiled and winked at Jang Dongcheng.

"No, if I want to shoot, it will be a major production, a real Hollywood super commercial blockbuster!" Zhang Dongcheng stood up, thought for a while, shook his head and said resolutely: "Some people laugh at me for only making small productions. If I do, I will only look forward to making big gains with a small cost. I even satirized me for not having the guts. Well, I will fight back, and I will give him a blockbuster movie!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Dongcheng continued to laugh and said, "Perhaps the media's evaluation will not be very good, but first of all, I want to prove to Hollywood that I am a film director who can earn a lot of money. My film can first make them earn money." , Let the American audience know me, understand me, and want to go into the cinema when they see my name, and then talk about other things.”

"That's right, Smith, these guys in Hollywood can accept money! And the appeal of a director of a blockbuster movie is extraordinary. Your idea is right, absolutely right." Brad Pitt said shaking his head, It seems that he is very happy that Jang Dongcheng did not insist on making "Million Dollar Baby".

   Locking "Million Dollar Baby" into his mind, Zhang Dongcheng first prepared to let himself relax for a few days before starting to look for it.

America America! Zhang Dongcheng is eager to melt into this country and find the lifeline of these Americans.

The most well-known Avenue of Stars in the United States extends along Hollywood Boulevard from Gower Street in the east to La Brea Avenue in the west, and then along Yucca Street (Yucca Street) and Sunset Boulevard (Sunset Boulevard) The Vine Street advances from north to south. Unless occasionally changed due to nearby construction or other reasons, the position of the star medal on the avenue is permanent.

  Each star is made of a single terrazzo: formed into a pink pentagram and inlaid with bronze and set into a dark gray square. Inside the pink star is the honoree's name engraved in bronze, and below this is a ring logo, representing the realm where the honoree received the star.

In the imagination of ordinary movie fans, this is completely the handprint of movie stars, but in fact this is not the case. There are different logos on the stars on the Avenue of Fame, which are the logos of movie cameras that have contributed to the film industry, and the logos that have contributed to the TV industry. The television logo for the record industry, the gramophone record logo for the recording industry, the radio microphone logo for the radio industry, and the tragicomedy mask logo for live theater.

  This is the dream palace of world entertainment stars.

   On the busy Avenue of Stars, tourists from all over the world flock in an endless stream, and Zhang Dongcheng walks on it, constantly looking for the stars in his mind.

   2,500 stars spread like a river of starlight in the sky. Zhang Dongcheng stared blankly at one of the blank stars.

  He is not a saint, let alone a great man, he has always dreamed of leaving his name here, leaving it as a director, the highest glory, for the world to admire.

The night is getting darker, and the traffic on the road is getting less and less, while Zhang Dongcheng is on the streets of Hollywood, looking at the happy tourists and various street performers on the road, he just feels that his mood is gradually relaxing. Getting better and better.

   Passing by a movie theater unknowingly, Zhang Dongcheng looked up, and a huge poster came into view.

  Jim Carrey——"Aeroplane 2"!

  HOHO, the film of the King of American Comedy!

  Zhang Dongcheng thought for a while, raised his legs and walked in. Although he had already seen the movie, but for some reason, there seemed to be something attracting him in this movie theater.

  Looking at his watch, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening. There was no one in the cinema, and Zhang Dongcheng didn't care. He bought a ticket for 12 o'clock, holding a cup of popcorn and Coke, ready to enjoy it.

   Soon, when the time was up, Zhang Dongcheng walked in slowly, found his seat, and sat down, throwing popcorn into his mouth non-stop.

A girl suddenly appeared, wearing big sunglasses, but unlike ordinary American audiences who couldn’t leave popcorn and Coke in their hands, she was empty-handed, elegantly like a cat, stepping on rhythmic steps, after searching for a while, He sat down next to Zhang Dongcheng.

  Take off the sunglasses, a beautiful face jumps into the eyes.

She seems to be of Indian descent, and her face is very different from that of ordinary Americans. She has long brown-red hair, deeper eye sockets, and brown eyes that seem to fall into them at a glance. eye.

  Big eyes seem to be able to bring about a storm, or the flow of the galaxy in the sky, but when she focuses her eyes, it is like a pool of clear springs, shining with the light of youth.

  Her two curved eyebrows are like two sharp knives, cutting her heart fiercely. The heroic and charming appearance between her eyebrows is so unified and harmonious.

  Her mouth is not thick, but it is not thin, pink and bright red like cherries in the harvest season, full of affectionate kisses, and the desire to never leave.

The slashed cheeks have the unique lines and contours of Westerners, but they are soft and full of feminine beauty. In Zhang Dongcheng's traditional Chinese vision, her appearance is acceptable to both Chinese and Westerners. A rare type who all shout beautiful women.
