Chapter 626: A Foreigner Who Shoots Horses

"Miss Lin, your role as Jia Baoyu is really amazing." James Cameron said with admiration.

James Cameron has never seen a woman disguised as a man, because in a society like the United States, there is no need for women to disguise themselves as men, coupled with factors such as clothing distribution, resulting in women dressing up as men can actually be seen at a glance.

But; Lin Qingxia's makeup in the Dream of Red Mansions, if you are not familiar with it, you will basically not be able to see that it is a woman's performance at once.

Just like the legend of the New White Lady in the original time and space, Ye Tong's Xu Xian was confused by how many children didn't know that Xu Xian was played by a woman.

So when James Cameron saw Jia Baoyu played by Lin Qingxia, he couldn't help but feel amazed from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you." Lin Qingxia smiled and thanked her.

"Qingxia's charm is so great, even foreigners are impressed by it." Xu Ke, who was not far away, exclaimed.

"Qingxia's charm is really great, but don't think that foreigners are really just impressed by her charm, a big reason is also for Mr. Qiao's face. Shi Nansheng, who has been dealing with foreigners all these years, sees it more clearly than Xu Ke.

The American Film Institute held a solo film exhibition for Lin Qingxia at the Kennedy Center for Lin Qingxia, which was the first time that the Kennedy Center held a solo film exhibition for Lin Qingxia, which really showed Lin Qingxia's achievements and extraordinary personal charm in film.

It is certainly not something that ordinary actors can do to allow a foreigner to hold such a personal film festival for a Chinese, and to be invited to the inauguration ceremony of two American presidents in a row.

However, if only the American Film Institute took the lead in doing this, it would definitely be only some academic people or some actors, directors, and producers who are not so famous.

But now, not only James Cameron has arrived, but even world-renowned directors and stars such as Spielberg, George Lucas, Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger have come to cheer, and it is all Qiao Feng's face support.

And these people not only attended, but also watched the Lin Qingxia movies that were screened seriously, like the early literary romance films, the mid-term drama films, suspense films, and later action movies, etc., these people all watched them seriously.

If it weren't for Qiao Feng, these people wouldn't have come, or if they came, they would have gone through the motions and cheered, and they were basically face-saving projects.

But because of Qiao Feng, these people are all face-saving, and because of this, James Cameron can talk to Lin Qingxia about the role of Jia Baoyu and the movie Dream of Red Mansions.

And after James Cameron, Spielberg also found a chance to chat with Lin Qingxia for a while.

"Miss Lin, I'm very interested in the story in the movie Eight Hundred Heroes you played, I wonder if you can tell me more about it so that I can know more." Compared to James Cameron's pure boasting, Spielberg obviously has a deeper purpose.

“Eight Hundred Heroes.“ Lin Qingxia first repeated Spielberg's words, and then said again in Chinese: "Eight hundred strong men, you can."

800 Heroes is one of Lin Qingxia's masterpieces in her early years, and she also won the Best Actress Award at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival that year.

The movie is about the Japanese invasion of Shanghai on August 13, 1937, Xie Jinyuan, the commander of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the Kuomintang, in order to contain the Japanese army and cover the retreat of the Kuomintang army, led 480 young officers known as 800 brave men to hold the Sixing warehouse for three months.

The soldiers bravely killed the enemy, and the girl scout Yang Huimin (played by Lin Qingxia) risked his life to deliver food, medicine and other supplies to the defenders, as well as the national flag.

The film is confined to the Sixing Warehouse on the banks of the Suzhou Creek on a lonely island, where hundreds of Kuomintang soldiers fought a positional battle with the surrounding Japanese army. Based on some historical facts, the director took advantage of the dramatic conflict caused by the different environments of war and peace on both sides of the Suzhou Creek by taking advantage of the British and French concessions around the Sixing Warehouse, the Guotong area on the other side of the Suzhou Creek, and the atmosphere of the times when the people of Shanghai warmly supported the Kuomintang defenders.

For an American who is interested in China's resistance to aggression and wants to know more about it, Lin Qingxia is of course happy.

Not to mention that Spielberg has another layer of identity, that is, he is a Jew. For Jews who have also suffered the wounds of World War II and the same massacre by fascists, the suffering and pain suffered by the Chinese under the iron heel of fascism must be resonant.

With a man like Qiao Feng and being born in a military family, Lin Qingxia must also very much want more people, especially people from other countries and nationalities outside China, to know more about what that period of history was like.

"Mr. Stephen, you should know about my invasion of our China, right?" Lin Qingxia asked first.

"Yes, although I don't know much, but I know that the Chinese made great contributions to World War II, and I admire you." Steven Spielberg said solemnly.

Jews basically have a certain understanding of that period of history, after all, they have suffered from the Holocaust.

What's more, the Chinese are quite friendly to Jews, and a considerable number of Jews fled to China during World War II.

Even, when the Jews were preparing to establish a state, the Chinese government was ready to give a piece of land to the Jews to support their statehood.

I don't remember it, but the Jews who have always been united will always understand it.

Lin Qingxia nodded, it's good that Spielberg knows that history, so that her narration can be carried out easily, so that Spielberg can't tell the right and wrong camp.

It happened on October 26, 1937, when the army invaded Shanghi on a large scale, and the Battle of Songhu entered the final stage, the defense line of Baoshan Dachang was lost, and the Kuomintang army decided to withdraw westward on all fronts, and ordered the 88th Division to leave a regiment to cover.

Late at night on the 26th, Xie Jinyuan, deputy commander of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, hurriedly returned to the regimental headquarters, holding a warrant from Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 88th Division, which ordered "The first battalion of the 524th Regiment to defend the last position in Shanghai." ”

This last piece of ground is the Sixing Warehouse, and it is also the place where the story of the Eight Hundred Heroes takes place."
