In 1939, the horrors of the Second World War loomed over the entire Apennine Peninsula, but the people remained strong.
Guido is a young Jewish man who seems clumsy on the outside, but on the inside, he is kind and honest and optimistic by nature.
He is full of beautiful yearning for life.
On this day, he and his friend Fiuccio drove a broken car from the countryside to the small town of Arezzo. His wish is to open his own bookstore in the town,
Live a comfortable life without any disputes.
While he was immersed in his fantasies, the car was passing under a barn tower, and suddenly Dora, a young and beautiful girl, fell from the tower into his arms.
It turned out that there was a wasp's nest on the tower.
Wasps often harass the local population, and Dora wants to get rid of the people and burn the wasp nest, but accidentally gets stung by the wasp and falls off the tower.
After a short time together, Guido immediately developed a crush on this kind and enthusiastic beautiful girl.
Enthusiastically treated her wounds.
Dora also seemed to be infected by Guido's cheerful optimism, and there was no sign in the conversation and laughter that the two had just met, which made Firucho on the side look very envious.
As they parted, as a token of gratitude, Dora gave Guido some eggs and watched him away meaningfully.
In the cloudy Apennine Peninsula, Nazi reaction grew stronger as Mussolini pursued a hard-line policy of racial reform.
Guido, who was of Jewish descent, was troubled.
His application to open a bookstore was repeatedly blocked, and it took a long time to get it. My friend Firucho's job has also been unsettled for a long time, and even life has become a problem.
During this period, Guido was forced to work as a waiter in a restaurant.
He has won the love of customers with his sincere, simple, warm and thoughtful service attitude, including Dr. Li, who likes to guess riddles.
Respect Guido's brilliant mind and sincere attitude.
Once, when Guido was filling out an application to open a bookstore, he inadvertently smashed a pot of flowers on the head of the signatory, Rudolph, who was angry, went after Guido, wanting to give the other party a good look.
Fleeing, Guido crashes into Dora around a corner.
Another unexpected encounter ignites the flame of love in Guido's heart. He thinks it was God's arrangement, so he wasted no time in expressing his affection to Dora.
But it's a pity that Dora already has a boyfriend.
However, Guido did not give up, and one day he stumbled upon the inspector from Rome who was going to inspect the school where Dora taught, and he immediately had an idea.
He had the audacity to pretend to be an inspector to go to the school, and the principal, who didn't know the truth, received him warmly.
And in order to please Dora and attract Dora's attention, at the reception venue, Guido has a whim and jumps on the podium to show his talent as a comedian.
The wonderful performance made the students laugh.
It also made the principal and the teachers jaw-dropping, and felt incredible.
At first, Dora doesn't care much about Guido's hard pursuits, but because Dora hates Rudolph, she often spends time with Guido.
Rudolph also found out about this situation.
However, he didn't know that Dora was with Guido because he hated him, but thought that Guido had been pestering Dora.
In order to eliminate the threat, he hosts an engagement party with Dora on wishful thinking.
It's just a coincidence that he actually arranged the party at the hotel where Guido works, and at the party, Guido cleverly freed Dora from Rudolph's entanglement.
In the end, she won her heart.
However, their relationship was firmly opposed by Dora's parents, and in order to be with Guido, Dora did not hesitate to fall out with her parents, run away from home, and marry Guido.
After the marriage, good things followed, and Guido's dream bookstore opened.
After that, they had a lovely son, Joshua. Guido often plays games with his son when he has nothing to do, and the family lives a happy and happy life.
But the good days didn't last a few years.
On Joshua's fifth birthday, the Nazis took Guido's uncle, Guido, and son Joshua and forcibly sent them to a Jewish concentration camp.
When Dora and Joshua's grandmother returned home in high spirits.
Seeing that the building was empty and the house was turned into a mess, Dora understood what was happening in front of her, and her husband and son were bombed into a concentration camp.
Although she was not of Jewish descent, she insisted on going to the concentration camp with Guido and her son.
Guido did not want his son's young mind to be overshadowed by misery.
In the inhumane concentration camp, he tried every possible way to get in touch with his wife, who was imprisoned in the women's prison, and reported to her that she was safe.
On the one hand, it is necessary to protect and take care of young Joshua.
He coaxed his son that it was a game, and whoever followed the rules of the game would end up scoring 1,000 points and get a real tank back home.
The naΓ―ve and inquisitive Joshua believed Guido's words.
In order to get the tank of his dreams, Joshua endured fear, hunger, loneliness, and all the harsh circumstances, and has been staying strong.
Guido is optimistically doing the dirty work while making up the lies of the game.
He also survived with the help of Dr. Lee, who was supposed to be killed like the other children.
Thankfully, Joshua escaped by accident.
Guido then let his son mingle with the German children and warned him not to speak, saying that this was the key to scoring points.
When liberation finally came, and late one night when the Nazis were preparing to flee, Guido hid his son in an iron cabinet and told Joshua not to come out, otherwise he would not get the tank.
He plans to take advantage of the chaos to go to the women's prison to find his wife Dora, but unfortunately he is discovered by the Nazis.
When the Nazis escorted Guido past Joshua's iron chest, he walked by optimistically and stridely, and hinted with his eyes that his son should not come out.
But soon, a gunshot was heard.
Guido, who had endured the ordeal, did not persevere to the end, and when Li Shu was about to arrive, he was unwilling to die at the gunpoint of the German Nazis.
When it was dawn, Joshua climbed out of the iron cabinet and walked out into the courtyard.
At this moment, a real tank car rumbled in front of him, and an American soldier got out of it and carried him into the tank in excitement.
Until then, he was convinced that he was in a game.
And his childlike innocence was miraculously unharmed. Eventually, Joshua is reunited with her mother, Dora, but Guido is gone......
It took nearly an hour for Zeng Zhiwei to finish reading the script.
Only then did he realize that he was fascinated, and when he raised his head and saw Wei Xiong reviewing the documents, he said, "It's a very touching and interesting story." β
"But looking at the content of the story, it should be Western actors. β
"Well, we can't focus all our energy on commercial films, literary films are also needed, and it would be better if we could win a few more awards. β
"I've already figured out the heroine in the film. β
"There's a young actor in the United States named Jennifer Connelly, she's quite suitable for this role, you can contact her. You can decide the rest. β
Hearing Wei Xiong say this, Zeng Zhiwei became curious about this Jennifer Connelly.
"Okay, I see, I'll go first if there's nothing else to do. β
After speaking, Zeng Zhiwei got up and walked out of the office. At this time, Wei Xiong took out another script from the drawer and flipped through it at random.
I saw that the first page of the script said "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
The script I just handed to Zeng Zhiwei is called "Life is Beautiful", and it is about the concentration camps of World War II and the Holocaust against the Jews.
And "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is set against the backdrop of the equally inhumane Nanjing Massacre.
On December 13, 1937, the Japanese army carried out a massacre of dehumanization in Nanjing, leaving the entire city in ruins.
But a church presided over by international friends is still a pure land for the time being.
Several clergy of the church took in a group of Jinling female college students who were hiding in the church and 13 women who were hiding in the dust on the Qinhuai River to escape the war.
and 6 wounded soldiers of the National Army who crawled out of the pile of dead people.
In this relatively enclosed space, they face the most terrible and inhuman massacre in history, and they have all kinds of wonderful feelings.
However, the church is not a pure land forever.
The Japanese army, which had completely exterminated humanity, finally stormed the church, the wounded soldiers were killed, and the female college students were about to be taken away and humiliated by the Japanese army.
At this moment, it turned out that the 13 most "lowly" women became heroes who protected everyone.
In front of the inhumane butcher's knife of the invaders, they were inspired to stand up bravely, wearing singing robes and carrying scissors.
Instead of the schoolgirls in the church, attend the Japanese Christmas celebration and go to a tragic death appointment.
β¦β¦
In his memory, the Nazi massacres against Jews in Germany were well known, and Jews received much sympathy for them.
But even in the 10s of the 21st century.
The crimes committed by Japan on Chinese soil during World War II are still unknown to most Westerners, and those in power in Japan even deny it.
Originally, he hadn't thought about it.
This time, he stayed in Japan for more than a month, and when he saw the narrowness and madness in the bones of the Japanese, he suddenly felt that he should do something.
So he began to write the script, which was "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in his hand.
After writing the script, he felt that a modern war film set in China and with Chinese as the main actors might not be able to open a market in the West.
After thinking about it for a long time, he wrote the script "Beautiful Life" again.
He plans to shoot "Beautiful Life" first, in order to play the role of throwing bricks and attracting jade. In addition, he also wrote "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" into a novel.
In its original history, this novella was written by the famous writer Yan Geling.
It was later adapted into a movie by Zhang Yi.
Compared with movies, the way of writing should be more acceptable to Westerners, not to mention that it can also use his personal popularity and influence.
Although he does not want to admit it,
However, in the foreseeable future, the West will still occupy an absolutely dominant position in terms of politics, economy, and culture.
This is also the reason why he wrote the script and novel of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
It is worth mentioning that she did not copy her memory, and the script and novel added some scenes of burning, killing and looting after the Japanese captured the city of Nanjing.
In this way, the brutality of the Japanese soldiers and the cruelty of the war are highlighted.
Also, whether it is a movie or a novel, some of the Jinling Thirteen Hairpins in the original book have no names, and there are not many inks.
Wei Xiong added his names one by one and made a detailed character portrayal.
He really wanted to write "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" into an influential literary work, so that more people could pay attention to and study that period of history.
Those who are dead, obscured by history, need to be respected.
And as a son and daughter of China, since he has this ability, he also feels that he has the obligation to do what he can.
"Meng Yao, come in. β
Wei Xiong put the script back in the drawer and took out a stack of manuscripts again, this thick stack of manuscripts was the novel manuscript of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Then press the intercom button on your landline.
After a while, Chen Mengyao pushed the door and walked in, and Wei Xiong handed over the manuscript: "This is a novel I wrote, you can take it and correct it." β
Chen Mengyao took the manuscript suspiciously.
"Boss, isn't "Zhu Xian" still serialized? And didn't you directly hand over the manuscripts to the newspaper for the previous two novels?"
There has been a hiatus for a while since the end of the serialization of "Flower Thousand Bone".
It wasn't until half a year ago that "Zhu Xian" began to be serialized, but "Zhu Xian" is much longer than "Hua Qiangu", and I am afraid it will have to be serialized for another year and a half.
This is still updated at about 3,000 words per day.
It is said that since the serialization of "Zhu Xian" began, Hong Kong has once again set off a Xianxia fever, and the sales of "Tiantian Daily" have also increased again.
Firmly on the throne of Hong Kong's best-selling newspaper.
"Your novel is not serialized in a newspaper, but published directly, and when it is corrected, you contact the publisher directly to publish it. β
Chen Mengyao reacted at this time: "Oh, I know. β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the Xiang family hosted a grand banquet for Wei Xiong at the Peninsula Wine, including Xiang Huaqiang, and none of the thirteen brothers of the Xiang family were present.
This time, although Wei Xiong deducted 20% of the commission on official business.
But Xiangjia can still get 4 billion US dollars, which is 4 billion US dollars, how many cups does a person have to struggle to make so much money?
And 4 billion US dollars is no different from falling from the sky for Xiang Jia.
And it's all because of Wei Xiong.
However, in the past few days, Xiangjia has transferred all the funds from Weishi Investment to Standard Chartered Bank. It's not that they have any ideas.
It's that they know how to be sufficient.
This time, it is all up to Wei Xiong's righteous family to have such a huge harvest, and if he is put on the Forbes rich list, he will easily enter the top ten.
This is something that the Xiang family never dared to think of before.
So they have to know how to advance and retreat, and they can't always want to take a ride on Wei's investment, even if Wei Xiong is willing, they don't have that face.
At the banquet, the thirteen brothers of the Xiang family toasted to Wei Xiong in turn.
Each one was very polite.
The boss Xiang Huayan even expressed his position on the spot, and in the future, Xiang Jia will be the head of the Wei family, as long as it is Wei Xiong's meaning, it is his intention to the family.
Wei Xiong could see that Xiang Huayan was sincere when he said this.
I was also a little relieved.
The thirteen brothers of the Xiang family, except for Xiang Huaqiang, he didn't know about it, but judging from Xiang Huayan's words and deeds, this head of the Xiang family still has some benevolence and righteousness.
No wonder the Xiang family did not have a brotherly wall in his hands.
It was not in vain that he looked at Xiang Huaqiang's face at the beginning, and let Xiang Jiabai get such a big bargain, although he didn't bother much.
The dinner lasted more than two hours.
To be honest, the thirteen brothers of the Xiang family were really too enthusiastic, and he drank a lot of them under the hospitality, but it was just a drizzle for him.
When it was over, everyone else left, leaving only Xiang Huaqiang.
Wei Xiong originally wanted to go home to accompany his wife, but he was forcibly pulled by Xiang Hua and refused to let him go back, saying that he had something to talk to him about.
The place of conversation is naturally the high-end club under the Xiang family.
On the way to the club, Xiang Huaqiang made a phone call, which should have been made to a woman, meaning to let the other party come to the club to accompany him.
As for the woman who slept with Wei Xiong, he didn't know.
After making the call, Xiang Huaqiang turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Wei Xiong, and said with a smile: "Do you want my brother to call one more to accompany you?"
Wei Xiong directly rolled his eyes full of contempt.
But then he also made a phone call, and the content was the same as what Xiang Huaqiang just said, depending on the situation, he really needed someone to accompany him.
After arriving at the clubhouse, the two steamed in the sauna first.
Then I enjoyed an authentic Thai massage, and when the massage was almost done, the doorbell rang, and a moment later, the two women walked into the room.
One is Zhang Mian, who was naturally called by Wei Xiong.
The other is Guan Xiumei.
It is said that Guan Xiumei served as a health dance instructor before entering the industry, and participated in the Miss Hong Kong contest in 1987, but unfortunately did not win any awards.
Later, he signed a contract with TVB.
According to Wei Xiong's memory, this Guan Xiumei should still be on TVB now, why did she get together with Xiang Huaqiang? Could it be that history has changed?
"Let's go change our clothes first. β
Wei Xiong said lightly to Zhang Mian, Zhang Mian had been to this club a few times before, and he was already familiar with the way, so he immediately walked out when he heard Wei Xiong say this.
Guan Xiumei hesitated and went out.
"All right, go down. After sending the two masseurs out, Wei Xiong lit a cigar himself and threw one to Xiang Huaqiang.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Guan Xiumei should be TVB. β
Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "Let me state first, I didn't dig your corner, and when I dug him over, TVB wasn't yours yet." β
"I'm doing something unreasonable again. β
This time it was Xiang Huaqiang's turn to roll his eyes: "Don't keep thinking about me so black, okay, it was completely voluntary for her to change jobs." β
"I didn't force her. β
At most, it can only be regarded as an exchange of interests, she jumped to Yongsheng for more than half a year, starred in two films, and the box office was not bad. β
"I've relented in the past two years. β
Wei Xiong nodded: "It's good to know how to converge, and in the future, those things that fight and kill will be handed over to others to do, and be a serious businessman." β
"So that life can be safe. β
Xiang Huaqiang knew that Wei Xiong was treating him as his own, so he smiled and said, "I listen to you, and those black ones won't be touched in the future." β
