I have seen a lot of Russell Crowe's movies, and every time I watch his movies, I have no resistance. The summary of the story of "Evidence of Life" is that the heroine's husband is kidnapped, the hero saves the heroine's husband, the hero and the heroine are in mutual affection, the hero saves the heroine's husband, and the heroine leaves. This plot is more or less like "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard".
The heroine husband Pete is an outstanding engineer who built a dam project in a certain country in Latin America. He hopes that his dam can help the locals. The fact is that when he builds the dam, the Qued Oil Company can get the tubing contract. No one invests now. Pete received strong support from the local government, but the dam project is now out of money. The boss of Pete's company sold the company to Oakden Petroleum. At work one morning, Pete was kidnapped by the local rebel ELT. The oil pipeline violated the interests of the local people.
The Pitt company did not want to redeem Pitt with money, and the boss pushed the matter away. Terry works for Luxen Crisis Management Company and is an expert in hostage negotiation. He just returned from Russia and successfully rescued his client from Chechnya. Terry has a wealth of experience in successfully rescuing hostages, so he was sent to Takara to solve the Pete incident. Terry’s company is a consultant company appointed by Quaid Petroleum to deal with kidnapping and extortion incidents. The Pitt company decided to hand it over to the local area to resolve the kidnapping of Pitt. The local authorities, because their company does not have insurance, have not been insured for kidnapping insurance since July. Luxen Company no longer accepts the kidnapping of their company. Quaid Petroleum negotiates with Oakden Petroleum, but Oakden Petroleum only considers oil pipelines and does not consider any other issues. The Quaid Company went bankrupt and sold everything to Oakden.
Terry prepares to return, and Pete’s kidnapping case is handed over to the local authorities for settlement. Alice wanted to ask Terry to stay, because Terry was the only one who could really help Alice. Terry chose to leave without mercy, but he was still struggling. The local government has no experience and just wants to take a ransom to solve the problem. The kidnapper asks for 5 million US dollars, and the advance payment is 50,000 US dollars. Terry came back, taking his friends with him. Alice and Janice decided to ask Terry for help and fired people from the local government.
Terry came back because no one wanted to take over the case, and Alice was so pitiful. Terry took over the Pete incident with full authority and started negotiations with the kidnappers. The representative of the kidnappers is Mark. The kidnappers are also willing to talk, and the estimated transaction price is $600,000. Pete's sister Janice returned to China to raise money. Alice and Terry battled wits and courage with the gangsters, and the two of them were in love each other in their relationship.
Now the main thing is to negotiate with Mark, the representative of the gangster. Terry can handle it with ease, he and Mark are bargaining while investigating Mark's identity. The hard work paid off, and he really found Mark. Terry and Alice had a deeper understanding of each other, they knew it well, but they didn't speak out. What really broke the deadlock was that after Pete was kidnapped, he worked with the missionaries to make an accurate map of the enemy and then fled. Pete failed and the missionary was saved. The missionary gave Terry the map. Terry and his companions formulated a rigorous hostage rescue plan, and the plan proceeded as scheduled. After a hard fight, Terry successfully rescued Pete and several other hostages. Terry and his companions are also preparing to take the mountain as king, stand on their own, and start their own business.
Terry rescued Pete, Alice and Terry said goodbye, and the two accepted the reality calmly. So Alice and Pete flew home. The story ends.
Enlightenment from Crow’s story:
Revelation 1: A big man does something and does not do something. Intellectually, Terry didn't need to be involved in the Pete kidnapping case, but emotionally, Terry persuaded himself.
Revelation 2: When a man and a woman have a close relationship, the spark of love occurs. Terry and Alice are more like two children who want to fall in love carefully.
Enlightenment 3: Thoughtful planning is half the battle. Terry and his companions (forgive me for not checking the name of that man) know themselves and enemies, understand the enemy's situation, resolutely carry out the task, and have achieved success.
