Chapter 45: The Partition of Tianjin (3)

Yang Yuxin's point of view aroused strong interest from the recruitment team, because the other candidates advocated using Shanghai as a base for promoting the political ideas of the East China government, and even as a base for anti-Qing propaganda, while others advocated a student movement in Shanghai, which was mainly based on the experience of the old time and space, in which Shanghai was basically the anti-Qing propaganda base of the revolutionary party in the last decade of the late Qing Dynasty. And Yang Yuxin is the only one who advocates starting from culture, life, and entertainment, and giving full play to the soft power of the traverser.

In the process of replying, Yang Yuxin further explained that at least for a considerable period of time in the future, the center of the East China government is Qingdao and Tianjin, not an isolated corner of Shanghai, so the political propaganda function, Moreover, at the present stage, the first priority of the East China government is to develop the economy and realize industrialization, and opposing the Qing Dynasty is not the most important thing; as long as the economy develops and its own industrial system is established, it is easy to overthrow the rule of the Qing court, and although excessive propaganda against the Qing Dynasty can win public opinion, it is also easy to be kidnapped by public opinion and break with the Qing court prematurely. This is not conducive to the balanced development of the East China government.

The positioning of the Shanghai New Area should be mainly to cooperate with the development plan of the East China government, which is the main thing. Therefore, the Shanghai New Area should now develop the economy, import resources and mineral products for the East China government, and open sales channels for the export of industrial products by the East China government. In terms of publicity, it should also focus on cultural export, that is, by showing the details of the culture, life and other aspects of the traveler, so that the local people can truly admit in their hearts that the civilization level of the traveler is higher than that of the Qing court, and even higher than that of other countries, so as to willingly stand on the side of the traveler.

Yang Yuxin also deliberately gave an example, when he was running the Li Shunde Hotel, he built a small cinema and dance hall, played movies and organized song and dance performances, which has become a good window to show the traversers, not only every show is full, but also a ticket is hard to find.

This is mainly due to the lack of entertainment activities in this era, and the singing and dancing performances organized by the travelers are the use of modern equipment, whether it is the form and content, the stage layout, lighting effects, sound and instrumental music, are not comparable to this era, not to mention the audio-visual impact caused by the movie, it is even more shocking. At most, the locals who have seen the stage singing have seen such audio-visual effects there, and they all admire the traverser.

This is quite like the 8th and 90s of the 20th century in the old time and space, when China had just opened its doors and was exposed to pop music, Japanese anime, American blockbusters, and European and American pop culture, for the vast majority of Chinese who were accustomed to watching model dramas at that time, because they were young people, they almost had no resistance to fully obey. The young people of that era were also recognized as the most admiring group of foreigners.

It is precisely because of the success of Shunde Hotel that Yang Yuxin advocated that Shanghai New Area should focus on the development of commercial and entertainment industries, and the main products in the early stage were movies and singing and dancing entertainment performances, and then gradually develop into a comprehensive commercial and entertainment industry such as shopping, leisure, catering, and games. On the one hand, this can increase the income of the East China government, and on the other hand, it is also subtly promoting the culture of the traverser.

However, some people have raised doubts, because in the foreseeable time, it is impossible for the traveler to shoot movies by himself, and can only rely on the film and television resources of the old time and space, which has two problems, one is that the film and television resources of the old time and space are limited, and the characteristics of the times must be considered, and only history, martial arts, science fiction, Mythology, so that there are fewer films and television that can be broadcast, once used up, the time-traveler will be unsustainable; second, the time-traveler cannot mix his own values in the movie, so the influence on the local people may be limited.

But Yang Yuxin believes that these two doubts are not a big problem, first of all, when he was running a movie theater in Tianjin, he collected film and television films, although the film and television resources of the old time and space were limited, but the absolute number is still an extremely large number, and TV series are calculated by episodes, and a TV series is often 5 or 60 episodes, so even if it is only a film and television that can be broadcast, it can also be as high as 4, 5000 episodes, calculated by playing one episode a day, is enough to play for 10 years without repeating, and there is not so much entertainment in this era, a film can be broadcast countless times, there is no problem of unsustainability;

In addition, after the film and television open up the situation, the traverser can also appropriately shoot some documentaries and feature films, and the themes are naturally related to the traverser, such as construction achievements, military appearance and military prestige, military parades, etc., so that they will naturally be accepted by the people and achieve the effect of publicizing the values of the traverser, and with the technical equipment and capabilities currently mastered by the traverser, this is completely possible.

The results of the defense gave the recruitment team a very high evaluation, so Yang Yuxin was listed as the first candidate and submitted to the Executive Yuan, and Yang Yuxin was finally selected as the person in charge of the Shanghai New Area, that is, the district head. He also approved Yang Yuxin's proposal to build a cinema in the Shanghai New District and develop a comprehensive business, and included it in the five-year plan, and Qin Zheng also proposed that before the cinema was built, Zhang Yuan's An Kaidi could be rented to play movies, which was also approved by the Executive Yuan.

Although the Shanghai New Area has not yet been officially launched, there is still a lot of work to be done in the early stage, such as selecting the staff of the Shanghai New Area, formulating work plans and arrangements, etc., and handing over the work of the Li Shunde Hotel, so although the government has moved to Qingdao, Yang Yuxin and the personnel he selected still stay in Tianjin to work.

The East China government also sent a geological survey team to Shanghai to survey the topography and geology of the Shanghai New Area on the spot, draw a map, and hand it over to the engineering design department for planning and design in accordance with Yang Yuxin's requirements.

The final design is a super-large project integrating leisure, entertainment, shopping and catering, covering an area of more than 120 acres, with a total of 18 buildings, 23 garden landscapes, and 4 theme exhibition areas, and the total construction period is expected to be 12 years. The first phase, which is planned in the 5-year project, consists of 4 buildings, 5 landscaping and 1 theme exhibition area, and the 4 buildings are an administrative dormitory building, a cinema, a restaurant building, and a shopping center. The cinema will consist of a large screening hall for 200 people, two medium screening rooms for 100 people, four small screening rooms for 60 people, 10 private screening rooms for 10 people, and a large ballroom in the dining room.

Each of the three RoPax ships that traverses the fleet has a small cinema, so there are three complete projection sets, 18 LED displays of various models, 22 projectors, and hundreds of televisions. It can fully meet the equipment needs of cinemas.

Just when the preliminary design was finalized, Yang Yuxin received a new task, which was to supervise the filming of a feature film reflecting the propaganda of land reform.

It turned out that the Shanghai office had sent back information to the East China government that the crosser's iron-blooded suppression of local gentry forces in Jinan had reached Shanghai, and several foreign-published Chinese newspapers had also reported on it. In the beginning, the newspapers were still routine general reports, and the choice of words and sentences was relatively neutral, which was basically objective.

However, just three days ago, the wind changed direction, and a newspaper published a full-page interview with a certain squire who claimed to be a certain squire in Jinan, and through the mouth of this squire of Jinan, he wantonly attacked and criticized the behavior of the Jinan government, and described the behavior of the Jinan government in Jinan as a forcible expropriation and plunder, reckless reckless loss of human life, and endangering the locality.

At this time, the East China government had published and distributed a copy of the [East China Times] in Shanghai. As his mouthpiece in Shanghai, he also published two editorial articles in a row to refute it, but immediately four more newspapers joined the debate, and launched a verbal and written attack on the traverser, which has the frame of criticizing the traverser, and the traverser only has one newspaper after all, so it is also a little powerless, and the Shanghai office keenly found that the wind is not in the right direction, and there must be other forces behind this public opinion trend, so it immediately reported to Qingdao, seeing that a big polemic is an inevitable result, I hope the government will prepare as soon as possible.

After all, in the old time and space, land reform was extremely controversial, and it has also become a common example used by some extreme anti-China forces to attack China, and of course it will not be an exception in this era, after all, land reform has touched the fundamental interests of the landlord forces. Under the auspices of Qin Zheng, the East China government has compiled a book entitled "Land Reform Documentary", which comprehensively introduces the reasons for the implementation of land reform by the East China government, of course, the focus is to reveal the evils of the old land system and the superiority of the land public ownership system implemented by the East China government, and has also prepared a large number of pictures and physical materials for propaganda.

However, Yang Yuxin put forward the idea of using movies as the main way to promote the culture of the traverser, which also inspired Qin Zheng, after all, whether it is a book or a display board, the effect is limited, and the last time there was a public opinion war, the traverser relied on holding a concert to reverse the situation, so this time it is necessary to use a little special means. Qin Zheng advocated making a feature film that reflected the propaganda of land reform, as a countermeasure to the traverser, which would have a better effect and give people a greater audio-visual impact.
