452 Pride and Prejudice
Song Weiyang said that the guerrillas turned into a field army by doing business, of course, he was telling a joke.
The real situation is that after the great victory of the Japanese army in Yuxianggui, the rear was empty, there were no soldiers, no food, lack of ammunition, and they were forced to give up some unimportant territory.
The Kuomintang and Communist forces behind enemy lines took the opportunity to regain lost territory and wreaked havoc on transportation and supply lines, resulting in the direct paralysis of the Japanese army's logistics. **'s troops behind enemy lines are still relatively "stable", and the counteroffensives of the Eighth Route and the New Fourth are directly crazy, and even began to continuously attack the relatively weakly defended county seats, and seized a large amount of equipment from the puppet army - the puppet army surrendered in various formations.
Until 1945, that is, the second half of "The Devil is Coming", the Japanese army in North China could only shrink to important strongholds, and many small counties close to the territory of the Eighth Road, the Japanese troops stationed in them did not dare to go out of the city at all. They can only collect food through the puppet army, and the puppet army is too lazy to go to the countryside to grab grain, directly sell weapons and medicines in exchange for border tickets, and then take border tickets to buy food from the Eighth Road, and by the way, you can also eat some kickbacks (squint smile).
Although Jiang Wen and Ma Wei are both disciples of the big courtyard and have been familiar with the history of the war since childhood, it is the first time they have heard of a lot of information from Song Weiyang. For example, the content of the Japanese pseudo-rural cooperatives mentioned by Song Weiyang comes from "Development and Plunder: The Economic Control of Japanese Benzene in the Occupied Areas of North China and Central China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression", which was only printed for the first time in 1998 and was written by Dr. Wang Shihua after consulting a large number of documents in Japan. Moreover, it is rare to see it in bookstores, even pirated copies are scarce, and the sales are extremely miserable, but Song Weiyang still borrows them from Fudan Library.
Ma Weidu's mouth has always been sharp, Jiang Wen is also a braggart, Song Weiyang chatted with them in the breakfast shop for half a morning.
Although Jiang Wen stayed up all night cutting films, his eyes were red, but he was very energetic, holding a cigarette and cocking Erlang's legs. From the Anti-Japanese War to the present, from domestic to foreign, he spit out a smoke ring and said: "Xiao Song, I read your book "The Future Belongs to China", which was recommended by a friend. I don't know which country the future belongs to, but you stand on the right side, unlike many people who worship foreigners now, and you are not as blind and arrogant as many so-called patriots. Chinese, Americans, are all human beings, there are good and bad, good and bad, where can one sentence be clear?"
This is true, but the good or bad is not in the individual, not in the country or the race. Ma Wei agreed.
"But many people are not like this, they are biased," Jiang Wen said with a smile, "For example, many Chinese in the United States are short people in the southern coastal provinces, so Americans think we Chinese are very short." When I went to the United States a few years ago, Michael Douglas met me, and my first reaction was to be surprised that I was actually taller than him, and in his understanding, the Chinese should be 1.6 meters tall, 1.7 meters tall. ”
Song Weiyang said: "You should tell him that tall Chinese people generally don't go abroad, because Chinese airlines charge money based on height. ”
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Wen and Ma Wei both burst into laughter.
"The same is true of the Chinese," Jiang continued, "once I went to Spain to attend a film festival and met a Chinese immigrant. The grandson praised the beauty of Spain's bays and said that he would take me to see them, saying that this kind of scenery would never be seen in China. I asked him which bays he had been to when he was in China, and he replied 'Sun Island'. You see, he has never been to Qingyu or Sanya, and he dares to be sure that China is inferior to Spain. This is not only admiring the foreign, but also arrogant. There is a hardcore patriot in the circle, I won't mention his name, every time the United States must be opposed, every day must be scolded, the problem is that what he scolds is hearsay, never to understand the truth, he has the opportunity to go abroad and does not want to see it for himself. This kind of arrogance has reached the point of being complacent. These are all pride and prejudice, and I think that whether you are a person or a person, you have to let go of pride and prejudice first. ”
"It's difficult," Song Weiyang shook his head and said, "Everyone will have arrogance and prejudice to a greater or lesser extent, including you and me, including Lao Ma." Just like this time, the company called you several times, and you said less than 5 sentences in total, and the last two times you simply hung up the phone. And I, as a relatively successful boss, I can't help but be prejudiced, and subconsciously think that Jiang Wen's grandson has no one in his eyes, so he is shameless! If I hadn't come to the capital in person, I wouldn't have known that you refused because I was upset, and I hated you from then on, and I felt like a bastard when I mentioned you. This is a lack of information, a lack of communication with each other, just like what you said about Americans generally believing that Chinese are short. ”
Jiang Wen smiled: "But you came in person." What is bias? I just don't want to communicate. What is arrogance? It's a reluctance to communicate. Obviously, since you are here, you are a person who can put aside your pride and prejudice for a while. ”
"If I didn't know Lao Ma, I'd be a fart, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you, and I went directly to Ge Wei to shoot an advertisement. Song Weiyang was unceremonious.
Ma Wei joked and said: "It's so dangerous, old Jiang, you almost offended the second richest man in China." ”
"Hahaha!" Jiang Wen laughed.
Song Weiyang said: "Many times, people don't want to communicate, they don't want to understand, but they don't have that way and energy. ”
"I'm talking about those who have the means and energy, but are unwilling to take a step," Jiang Wen said, "There are a lot of such people, and they are very annoying, I don't like to deal with them." I've met a lot of foreign filmmakers, and my favorite is Quentin's kid, who can mix with anyone. On the first day he came to China, he drank and bragged with Nortel students, and the next day he talked nonsense with the leaders of the film department. At that time, there were many foreign directors, all of whom were stunned to put up a show, and Quentin knew everyone well, and within a few minutes, he called the Chinese leaders brothers. And then you look at the works, Quentin's works are always multi-national, and they are often refreshing. ”
Song Weiyang really wanted to ask: Did you teach Quentin's ""?
Ma Wei nodded and said, "It's time to have more contact and more communication, just like playing with antiques." In the past, I only collected furniture, and only studied home, so I needed to keep learning and getting in touch with it in order to gradually understand porcelain, coins, calligraphy and paintings. You can't be framed in the same place, you have to put down your body and take a few steps outside. ”
Jiang Wen pointed at Song Weiyang and said: "Xiao Song is very good, with billions of assets, he can still sit in a small broken store and talk to me about the mountain." I've been in contact with a lot of businessmen, because I'm a celebrity, so they're polite to me, but in fact, they hold the shelves from beginning to end, and they can't let go at all. I can't let go when I'm chatting with them, I'm awkward, and it's very comfortable to talk nonsense with Xiao Song. Don't leave today, I'll invite you to drink in the evening. Forget it now, I'm going to go back to make up for some sleep, but I'm going to die of you. ”
"Well, drink and accompany you at any time. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
"Particular enough," Jiang Wen got up and yawned, stretched his waist and said, "I'll go back to sleep and drink together at night." ”
