[Comprehensive] Reincarnation Thousand Years

Chapter 4 The Great Gatsby 2013 Movie Version

It was the summer of 1922, and New York City was in a state of morbid excitement.

The stock market is at its highest point in history, and Wall Street is in a period of steady development. The parties are getting bigger and bigger, the performances are getting more and more open, the buildings are getting higher and higher, and the moral bottom line is getting lower and lower.

Prohibition is backfiring, and alcohol is getting cheaper. [note 1]

Earlier, Jersey Green met Jay Gatsby, the owner of the largest and most luxurious mansion in West Egg.

It was funny that when she met this handsome young man, he had no name for him except the manners of a gentleman who had been taught him by a millionaire.

As for the 13-year-old Jesia Green, she has a beautiful appearance and fair skin combining the East and the West. Although she claims to be from the East, no one knows which country in the mysterious East she is from.

There are many rumors about the encounter between the two, and even Meyer Wolfshiem only knows the truth to a certain extent——

Two penniless people just met on a certain street.

Zecia Green met Gatsby one step earlier than Wolfshiem, but she didn't know Gatsby many years later than Daisy.

When two penniless men meet Wolfshiem, Zecia Green jumps at an opportunity and makes it clear to the mob boss who illegally rigged the 1919 World Series that her brain is bigger than her body value.

"Her Royal Highness, who is cruel and ruthless. But I like it."

Wolfshiem's ​​evaluation can be regarded as the highest praise in a sense.

Gatsby got into the American Legion under Wolfshiem's ​​arrangement, and he did a great job.Could not have been better.He soon became close to Wolfshiem and took over many "important businesses".

As for Zecia Green, she cut her waist-length hair into ear-length short hair, wore a shirt and trousers, and held a black cane in her hand, appearing in Chicago's underground world.

She single-handedly — with negligible initial funding from Wolfshiem — had carved out a place in Chicago’s dark side.

"Cruel" and "Cold-Blooded" are conjoined twins who will always accompany the "Oriental Princess" Zecia Green.

The children's father's first name is "Ambition" and his surname spells "Money".

When the good news came from Zecia Green, Wolfshiem immediately added a lot of money and manpower. The alcohol prohibition, which was a good starting point, gave young people with nothing a chance to get rich.

Nobody knows how Jersey Green managed to do it.

Even Wolfshiem, who knows how she does it, doesn't think he can replicate her success.

It was a risky, completely desperate way, and the consequences of failure would be more terrifying than going to hell.But the secret of her success seems to be that she never thinks about losing.Her eyes were fixed on the end of success, fixed on it, and she took one step at a time to move forward, but she completely ignored the fact that she was actually standing on the narrow pole that was erected between two tall buildings. superior.

As long as one wrong step, it will be lost forever.

With the conjoined twins "Cruel" and "Cold-Blooded" and two maids named "Gossip" and "True and False", Jersey Green led his subordinates—the group of black-clad The men in suits, white shirts, and white gloves followed behind her expressionlessly, as if she was a real princess with her guards on tour.

She was sitting in the car, and the driver got out of the car, and opened the door respectfully. After waiting for a few seconds, she got out of the car reservedly, with an elegant demeanor and a calm attitude like a real princess.

No one could have imagined how filthy and filthy she was back then, and she only had a slight advantage in body odor over the pauper who fell into the gutter.

Jersey Green comes to Gatsby's mansion in West Egg for the first time.

Compared with Britain, Jersey Green said softly: "The land in the United States is really cheap."

Gatsby has done a better job than anyone else, and his innate optimistic attitude towards life is the secret of his success.

Not long after meeting Gatsby, Jersey Green knew the name of the woman he had loved and obsessed with all his life——Daisy.

This married woman who has a daughter, she represents not only Gatsby's first love, but also the ideal of getting ahead that he wants to achieve all his life, and the embodiment of the person in this world. .

"Welcome back, my little Jersey."

Gatsby personally came to greet the guests, and his heartfelt joy made the visiting guests smile sincerely.

Jersey Green said cheerfully, "I've grown up."

She lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her slender ankles and the pair of small and cute red shoes on her feet.

After entering the opened gate, Zecia Green looked at the huge courtyard in front of her eyes, turned around lightly, put down the hem of the skirt she was holding in both hands, and walked quickly beside her, showing off like a child. Gatsby in his own residence joked: "But unfortunately, you are already old."

"I just turned 30."

"It's old enough." Jersey Green turned around again, turned his back to Gatsby, looked at the courtyard in front of him, and showed an expression that he didn't know how to describe.

That is not a simple and pure smile, in a lifetime, you may only see it once, it is a complicated and indescribable smile.

Mixed with nostalgia and joy, but also with poet-like compassion.

"Jersia, Zesia, why are you sad?"

"When I first stood on the land of the United States, I never imagined that such a day would come."

What Jersey Green was telling was a past that only she knew, that she had never told anyone.

Where did she come from?Composition of family members?

What kind of life did you live before the age of 13?

What kind of education have you received?

"Now, everything in front of your eyes is real."

Full of confidence, Gatsby exudes a natural dazzling light.

The name of that light is "American Dream".

This is the America where gold is everywhere. When you come to this land and start from nothing, no matter what you do, as long as you become a master, you are a successful example of the "American Dream".

Whether you fear, fear, hate, cast aside, despise, envy, envy, no matter what you think, no matter how you look at it, the American dream of Gatsby and Green has come true anyway.

In other words, in the eyes of the general public, this American dream has come true.

But in the eyes of these two, they are still some distance away from their dreams.

Gatsby's dream, his ideal, is the woman named Daisy, but Zecia Green's dream has always been buried in her heart, and no one can break through the indestructible barrier and dig out those rotten hair Smelly flesh and blood, find the dream at the bottom that exudes ecstasy and ecstasy.

Jersey Green has traveled across half of the United States over the years, from San Francisco to Detroit, from Chicago to Salt Lake City, leaving her footprints and shadows in almost every city that can earn her a lot of money.

From being a subordinate working for Wolfshiem, after several twists and turns, she achieved something that even the vast majority of men in the world could not do, and finally gained a status that could be on an equal footing with Wolfshiem on the surface.

The things that can be exchanged with the body are always limited, but as long as the brain does not stop functioning, as long as you keep thinking, as long as you have enough talent, and you have no fear or awe, let alone a human being, even a god can kill.

"I'm here for a vacation."

Zecia Green didn't mention what she had done in Detroit, which led to her running back to New York at such a time, leaving a mess to Wolfshiem's ​​other team.

"I heard that you hold the biggest party in New York every weekend. I really want to see it."

The point, of course, is not vacations.

Gatsby bent down, "May I have the honor to invite you to a party here this weekend?"

"Give me a song first."

Since Zecia answered this way, she obviously agreed.

"I want to enjoy what it feels like to eat while listening to music in such a big place."

"You can do it every day."

Gatsby has no better friend than Gatsby when it comes to spending money like water.

Jersey Green is a poisonous snake that cannot be warmed.

When she sat there silently, every posture revealed a sense of superiority.

Unpretentious, of course.

Just as the moon revolves around the earth and the earth revolves around the sun, it is a matter of course.

But when she moved, she just said a word, which would cause people to go bankrupt and commit suicide, which would trigger a change.

When she suffers a loss, she must be plotting elsewhere; what she plots will earn back dozens of times the amount she lost.

But it is unbelievable that these two are very good friends. Their friendship is purer than the Antarctic glacier.

"What ideas do you have for this week's party?"

"Please, Gatsby."

Zecia had just finished a phone call from San Francisco, and now she looked at Gatsby who was asking her, with a look of "I can't stand it."

"I can't believe you don't have good ideas."

"Suggestions?"

"I didn't expect your beloved Daisy to come over and say at the next tea party 'that so-and-so was amazing at that party last time', unfortunately, that was my idea."

In retrospect, this harsh remark was the result of Jesia Green's lenient mouth for the sake of her friendship with Gatsby.

Of course, Zecia Green did not provide any good advice at the banquet to seek Daisy's attention. She just changed into a black dress, just like the black dress at the black and white ball, and she still wore a pair of black and white dresses on her feet Red shoes - nothing but lace-up high heels.

To the general public at the party, it was just a teenage girl who looked like she had dropped out of an all-girls school, and to those who knew her identity, the message "Jersia Green is coming to New York" What it represents is much more interesting.

She came to the roulette table and bankrupted several bigwigs on Wall Street. From the perspective of Jersey Green, who didn't know how many casinos she owns, as long as she wanted to, she could make the roulette wheel roll. Beads jump to any number grid.

She exchanges business cards with politicians, and the elections "in the near future" are all to the point. Knowing which one will tear up the peace treaty for more benefits first, point the barrel of the gun in the hand at the opponent, pull the trigger-hit the opponent's vitals.

"What do you think of this party?"

There was no one who wanted to wait, but Gatsby still greeted Zecia energetically.

"Good value for money."

Zecia replied with a smile.

She'll be on the phone all night tonight.

The smile on Gatsby's face contained pride, but it revealed a sense of disappointment that Zecia didn't bother to care about.Frustrated that he didn't get pure compliments.

Obviously, this is something Zecia could never do in her life.

She called all night.

time flies.

The weeks flew by, and Gatsby had been dating Daisy for a few days before Zecia left New York for a not-so-big, not-so-little accident in Detroit.

Jersey and Daisy's cousin, Nick Calloway, were nodding acquaintances.

She wore a beautiful hat on her satin-like black hair, and the hem of the black dress on her body fell behind because of her steps. In her youthful age, her appearance was even more beautiful Amazingly beautiful.

Her own beauty can make any place brilliant.

And her brain is enough to win the whole... maybe most of the world.

Just give her enough time.

But no matter how much time is enough, no matter how brilliant the brain is, she can't get back her only friend in this world who once shared joys and sorrows and earned a brilliant future from penniless.

— Jay Gatsby.

The newspapers and all the media put all the blame on Jay Gatsby.

After he was killed by a car and killed, he walked away regardless. When he was shot dead by the victim's husband, all the dirty water and insulting words poured down like a storm.

When Gatsby died, everyone thought it was a nightmare to know him, and people who came to his parties uninvited and pretended not to know him.

The only person running for Gatsby's funeral was Nick Carraway.

That Daisy's cousin.

Jessia Green dealt with the idiots who thought of Detroit as a small town, and made Wolfshiem have to face the fact that she was already equal to him in every way, and had an advantage over her—

She was youthful and he was old.

Then, she came to Gatsby's funeral.

She saw white flowers surrounding his coffin, and she saw Nick Calloway lying on the stairs, calling, writing letters, begging but no one came, exhausted enough to give up.

"I am back."

The black dress on Zesia Green didn't need to be changed at all. It was black and formal, and it was decent enough to attend any funeral.She had already changed into this mourning dress before returning from Detroit.

Standing in front of Gatsby's coffin, she whispered softly: "Do you still remember? The bloody idiot you scolded for treating Detroit as a small town has already been dealt with by me."

She also told a lot of things, and didn't shy away from the nastiest things that only she and Gatsby did when they were penniless wandering the streets and the gutters--they robbed clients, blackmailed them, went out in casinos. thousand……

Before meeting Wolfshiem, the two of them lived without a human being.

"Dear Gatsby," Zecia's letter to his sworn enemy also began with "Dear", "you deserve the most honorable funeral in the world, and those guys will pay the price."

Only when he said the last half of the sentence, there was a ferocious energy in the soft voice.

Zesia looked at Karlovy who was lying on the stairs and refused to move: "My dear, Nick."

Even though they were just nodding acquaintances, the two who attended Gatsby's funeral had a very close understanding.

"You don't fit in the city of New York. Go home, and then don't touch futures, and never put your money in the bank. Don't trust the bank. Take my advice, because in a few years, those fools will I regret what I did today."

Then, Zecia took out a business card from her sleeve, which was different from the one she usually gave to others.

"If you need help, just call me."

Nick Calloway has kept the Jersey Green business card, and not long after he wrote Gatsby's story, on October 1929, 10, the New York Stock Exchange crashed.

A few days later, he got a call.

"I'm Jersey Green."

Karlovy was stunned for a moment before realizing the memory that the name represented.

"Ah, yes, I'm Nick Calloway."

"The New York Stock Exchange has had a really nice avalanche."

Zecia's tone was beaming in contrast to the gloomy cloud around Karlovy.

"That day, I made about two or three hundred million?" Zecia's beaming tone was filled with uncoordinated complacency, "Anyway, it's enough to short this business once."

"You are not happy."

"At least I'm still alive, and I still have money. As for Wolfshiem, he's already gone into the dustbin of history." Apparently, Jessia Green was born without the ability called "mercy". virtue.

Then, for the last second time in her life, Nick Calloway heard Jersey Green's voice, and she said this: "I haven't forgotten Gatsby's funeral, and those who should have come and didn't come, I don't Will deal with them, I will just die."

Later, Nick Calloway learned of the bankruptcy of Tom Buchanan, the husband of his disowned cousin Daisy Buchanan.

The couple, who held an unheard-of lavish wedding in Louisville, had to face bankruptcy after the stock market crashed.

He immediately understood that Zecia had found out all the truths of those years, and soon, the matter of overturning Gatsby's case was immediately put on the agenda.

A witness who came out of nowhere testified that the driver of the car was Daisy Buchanan, and a servant who came out of nowhere testified that the mysterious woman who entered and left Gatsby's mansion was the married Buchanan. Mrs Cannon.

This is not over yet, and some neighbors of the victim's family who were hit and killed by a car "can't stand the condemnation" came forward to testify. have spoken—

He told his neighbor that he sold the car to his friend that night (neighbor said: We all know that Tom Buchanan had an affair with his wife, and the poor man didn't know that his wife died early. It’s just that the red apricot is out of the wall.) Tell him that the owner of the bright yellow limousine is Joey Gatsby.

Tom Buchanan could not escape a charge of abetting a crime, but his reputation was not as bad as his wife's.

The media didn't know what medicine they had taken or how much they had received. From the third-rate tabloids that wrote about illogical celebrity gossips to the serious and serious upper-class newspapers, they all reported on this old adult case.

It's hard to believe that no one is planning behind this.

Nick Calloway called the number on Jersey Green's card for the first and last time.

On the other end of the phone, a man with a calm and reliable voice heard the caller's name clearly, and then went to ask the hostess about her visit. Half a minute later, Zecia Green's voice came back through the phone line.

"Hey Nick, I knew you'd be calling me."

"You, how do you know that Daisy was the real culprit in that car accident?"

"Are you serious?" Zecia's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little shocked, but her voice sounded extremely happy, "I really don't know about this."

Nick Carraway was silent for a moment.

"You don't know about this, and you—"

"What's wrong with me burying Daisy, who abandoned Gatsby, with him? Her husband is a buy-one-get-one gift. Besides, I really want to see Gatsby see this cute What kind of expression will you show when you hate the gift... It's a pity—"

Happiness disappeared in Zecia's voice at that moment.

"The most important friend in my life died because of that disgusting woman. I didn't want her to be buried at that time, and I gave her so many happy days, but it was all because Gatsby loved her so much and treated her as a In the name of his own ideal embodiment of the American dream."

"Now, it's time for me to do it."

She set off from the port of Shanghai and arrived in Japan. She spent all her money and stole the purses of several people to get enough for the boat ticket to the United States.

When she arrived in the United States, she was penniless and was about to starve to death. Gatsby stuffed her with a whole loaf of bread, took her to the fountain in the square, fed her water, and rescued her back. .

Gatsby is the most important and only friend in her life.

"Goodbye, Nick."

Hanging up the phone also meant that the name Zecia Green had disappeared from Nick Calloway's life forever.

The path she walks in the future, everything she owns and everything she loses has nothing to do with this man who is only connected because of Gatsby.
