"That was the last time he was there for me, during a thunderstorm and rain." The director's voice became somewhat forlorn.
"What happened to him ...?" Mallory could see that the director was very vulnerable inside at this time and was showing him the most vulnerable side of her that was hidden very deep inside.
This also shows her trust in him at this time.
"When his affair with the mistress was exposed, my mother had a big fight with him and he never came home again. Three years later, they divorced and I followed my mother, who also changed and hid in the lab and never came home. From then on, when the lightning and thunder outside, I could only bear it by myself." The director was really crying this time.
"It's all in the past, you've grown up, no longer the helpless little girl back then." Mallory reached out and hugged the director's feather jacket and continued to comfort her.
The director cried for a while before calming down.
"Thank you, help me to store my trash emotions." The director pushed away Mallory's arms that were holding her.
"You're welcome, it's much better to speak up when you have grievances inside." Mallory smiled.
"I shouldn't have disbelieved what you said." The director apologized to Mallory, although she still thought in her heart that things like the two legs of the stewardess were bullshit.
...
The rain was getting lighter.
After Mallory took the last handful of rainwater and drank it, the rain slowly stopped.
"You're drinking rainwater?" The director asked Mallory.
"Well, there might be no water for days. Besides, I can't call for special help." Mallory rubbed his water-filled stomach and felt content.
The outer layer of that rainproof down jumpsuit is also scaly, and the inner insulation layer is a completely non-absorbent material, which just doesn't give him a chance to store water anyway.
"Anna said she won't be in the same crew with you next time?" The director changed the subject.
"Maybe she was scared? Two times in hell mode is too much for anyone else." Mallory thought for a moment and answered the director.
"Won't you be sad that she's gone? I see you guys ... well ...," the director tried.
"Sad? Why be sad? I'm just ordinary friends with her." Mallory has a carefree expression.
"Impossible, right? I think you two are moving with real feelings." The director didn't believe it.
"No, she and I are both smart enough to know that this is not the place to talk about our feelings." Mallory shook his head.
"Indeed, the thing about feelings is that they are supposed to be fake, especially between a man and a woman who are not trustworthy at all!" The director voiced her opinion.
"You've been hurt emotionally?"
"No." The director shook her head.
"No experience, so what's the point of saying such worldly things?"
"My mother is a biologist, studying genetics, and she analyzed many of my father's promiscuous behaviors from the perspective of genetic evolution, and eventually argued scientifically that relationships between men and women are simply a scam." The director explained a few words to Mallory.
"Genetic evolution? Affection? That can be involved?" Mallory heard this kind of thing for the first time.
"Yes, and what's even scarier is that she not only argued that the relationship between men and women is a fraud, but also argued that there is no relationship between mothers and children as well, and that the relationship between mothers and children is one of life and death hostility ... She's really crazy ... "The director sighed.
Listening to the director talk about her parents' three words, Mallory did understand why the director said that the feelings between men and women are not trustworthy.
It wasn't that she had been emotionally hurt, it was that her mother had been emotionally hurt.
Of course, she must have been hurt quite a bit in the process, psychologically.
A divorce between parents is too cruel for a small child to understand and powerless to stop.
The director should have been greatly influenced by her mother, but although she was influenced by her mother, on the surface of male and female emotional matters are very evasive, inwardly still very eager, from her plot can be experienced this.
Her portrayal of the character of Donna is mostly a portrayal she made from her perception of her father.
Good-looking, versatile, but promiscuous.
She hates him, but she still has a great attachment to him in her heart.
The kind of special attachment a daughter has to her father.
But also because of her father's betrayal and abandonment of her and her mother, she is severely insecure, so she likes to wear a mask and hide herself in front of people.
Her feelings for Mallory are mostly mixed with her feelings for her father as well.
She imagines Mallory to be her father when she was young.
She hates her father, so she torments Mallory in some of the films.
However, she still can't let him go, so when he is too miserable, and then will give him some help.
When someone bullies him, she will even take the initiative and go out of her way to break the rules to stand up for him.
All of this makes sense.
She wasn't being nice to him because he kissed her ass right.
She was just transferring her love and hate for her father to him.
"I'll tell you something, but you can't say anything to anyone else, and you must never mention it to anyone. If anyone finds out, you and I could both die!" After a while, the director opened his mouth again.
"Okay, I promise I won't say anything, even if I'm tortured severely." Mallory nodded.
"You are indeed trustworthy on this point." The director gave Mallory a thumb.
Mallory did not speak again, the director made things so serious, he reckoned that he might talk about some secrets related to the film city.
"I think Film City may have something to do with my mother's lab, and I've gathered some clues about that." The director opened his mouth and was really talking about Film City.
"Oh? A laboratory for studying genes?" Mallory was certainly interested in the origin of Film City.
After being hijacked here, Mallory's primary goal was to advance and improve his living environment, and with room to spare, he also wanted to find out the truth behind all this.
"Well, my mom's in a national key biotech lab, researching genetic technology, but since my dad cheated on her, my mom's research has gone off the rails, and she's tried to use the theory of genetic testing to argue for human emotions, and come up with some pretty amazing conclusions." The director nodded.
"She said human emotions are manipulated by genes?" Mallory didn't know much about that.
"Yes. Her research argues that human feelings, so-called male and female feelings, are simply the result of genetic evolution. All the feelings, affection, and love in the world are just tricks used by genes to control human behavior, and all humans are slaves of genes."
"And this film and television city, is a giant laboratory for the study of human behavior patterns ... abbreviated as 'modalities', and the purpose of studying 'modalities' in this laboratory ' purpose is to fight against the slavery of genes to human beings."
