Seeing what Fang Mingyuan and Spielberg were discussing, Li Guoqiang and Hua Fengshuo took a few steps back in amusement

"Minister Hua, on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to your city for its active cooperation this time" Li Guoqiang smiled and said This time, Spielberg came to China, and the people in the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government did not know until three days before Spielberg's arrival in Shanghai" Fang Mingyuan informed the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government about this matter through Bie Zhaolun, and mentioned that Fang Mingyuan intended to persuade Spielberg to direct a film about the Jiangning Massacre

In their view, "as an internationally renowned figure, Spielberg's arrival is undoubtedly an important cultural exchange between China and the United States, and if it is really possible to persuade Spielberg to direct a film about the Jiangning Massacre, as Fang Mingyuan said, even if it can't reach the influence of "Schindler's List" in the whole Shijie, it can undoubtedly effectively suppress the increasingly rampant right-wing Shili

Regarding the film of the Jiangning Massacre, some people in the domestic film industry have long proposed to reshoot, especially after the international popularity of "Schindler's List" and the increasing influence of the right-wing shili in Japan, the call for remaking the Jiangning Massacre in the domestic film industry can be said to be increasing day by day, but due to various domestic and foreign reasons, "as well as the doubts about the directing ability of domestic directors", the matter has been stalled in a hurry

Fang Mingyuan's proposal, if it is really feasible, is undoubtedly a relief in the snow" to solve many problems

First of all, Spielberg is an American, a well-known Hollywood director, and has great influence in the United States, the Japanese government can have all kinds of reasons to obstruct Huaxia from shooting this film, "but they can't stop the Americans, and the U.S. government will never order Spielberg to stop filming because of his own protests, just like the British government has repeatedly protested to the U.S. government against Hollywood movies that scandalize the British colonizers of the past, and I haven't heard of the Americans punishing anyone for this."

Spielberg directed this film, "It is better to have an American company to fund it, so that the Japanese themselves will naturally not be able to make irresponsible remarks about the friendly relations between China and Japan."

Second, if Spielberg said that he directed this movie, "these domestic filmmakers and directors, I'm afraid no one can doubt Spielberg's directing ability, after all, the results of "Schindler's List" are placed there, this is no gold and steel diamonds, no porcelain work

Third, the film directed by Spielberg can smoothly participate in the public screening and awards of the whole shijie, "unlike Chinese films, it will be quite difficult to break into the film market of other countries, so it will undoubtedly be conducive to expanding the influence of the film", so that all Shijie people know about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Jiangning back then, which has an immeasurable effect on Huaxia to establish its own position in the international arena and gain an overwhelming psychological and public opinion advantage over the Japanese capital

Therefore, on the one hand, the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Government reported the matter to the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and at the same time immediately said that they would fully cooperate with Fang Mingyuan, and the Jiangning Massacre Memorial Hall was closed for half a day this afternoon to receive Spielberg and his party, which was the result of the communication between the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the Jiangning Municipal Party Committee and Government

"Minister Li is too polite, everyone is a national cadre", this little help, is also what we should do, and Mr. Spielberg can come to Jiangning City, it is also an honor for our city" Hua Fengshuo hurriedly laughed, "The leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government attach great importance to it, and they also specially sent elite soldiers from the TV station" Although both of them are propaganda ministers, Li Guoqiang is the propaganda minister of the municipality directly under the central government, which is equivalent to the head of the Propaganda Department of the provincial party committee, "Compared with Hua Fengshuo, the level is much higher."

Li Guoqiang smiled and said: "Minister Hua will remember to give us a copy after the filming, and Mr. Spielberg's arrival cannot be broadcast without the permission of Mr. Spielberg and Fang Shao...... Haha, I think Minister Hua has been doing propaganda work for so many years, and he must understand"

Hua Feng Shuo's heart leader nodded This is if the media knows that Spielberg has come to China, this is not enough to ask for an interview frantically

"Steven, in fact, not only Rabe has helped the Chinese Schindler to help the Jews, but we have also helped you Jews," Fang Mingyuan looked at the white bones in the glass window and said in a deep voice

Spielberg nodded and said, "I know that we Jews have come to settle in China in large numbers since ancient times, as early as hundreds of years ago, during the Song Dynasty, "there were Jews who came to settle here" We have not been racially discriminated against in these centuries, when their compatriots in the West have been driven and slaughtered again and again, when they have multiplied in the East, when we Jewish men have been slaughtered, women have been robbed and given birth to children for other peoples, and the Jews have only relied on the matrilineal line to continue their nation, while in the East, the Jews have retained the original habit of maintaining their blood by their fathers."

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan scratched his head, which he didn't know

"It turns out that Fang also has something he doesn't know?" Spielberg couldn't help laughing, for a while, the relationship between the two was a little closer, to be honest, "Fang Mingyuan saw Spielberg, "There is pressure in his heart, this Spielberg sees Fang Mingyuan, and he is also under pressure in his heart, this year is not even a young man, and he has already achieved achievements that Spielberg himself envies, in the face of such a demonic character, Spielberg has no pressure in his heart, it is hell

When Fang Mingyuan was surprised at that moment, Spielberg suddenly felt that Fang Mingyuan in front of him was a living young man, "As soon as the pressure in my heart is gone, everyone will naturally talk casually."

"I also happened to see some historical records in the archives of the sè column mentioned above, during the Song Dynasty of China, there were Jews who came to China by sea, and when they settled in China, they mainly lived in you, and the two terms "zuihou", Spielberg spoke in Chinese, and heard that Fang Mingyuan was confused in the past of China, had there been such a place name?

Spielberg explained a few more words: "Fang Mingyuan, this can be regarded as understanding, Kaifeng and Quanzhou."

"At that time, you Chinese people seemed to call them blue hats back," Spielberg said with some uncertainty

Fang Mingyuan, a person who gave happiness, immediately understood what he said, but he thought about it, and couldn't help patting his head

"Moreover, I also know that in this century, China has also accepted a large number of Jews who have emigrated to China because of persecution, such as the rainbow-mouthed district in Shanghai," Spielberg said distressedly, "Many of your Chinese place names are not easy to pronounce and do not understand the meaning."

"The area of the rainbow's mouth?" Fang Mingyuan muttered a few times, "his eyes lit up" "Hongkou District"

"Yes, yes, that's how it sounds, rainbow...... "When I was in the Esè Column, I met many old people, and they all mentioned that this was their ark on earth during World War II."

The Hongkou district of Shanghai, during the Second Shijie War, was an important gathering point for Jews

At that time, due to the persecution of Nazi Germany and the attempt to exterminate the Jewish people, the Jews had to flee one after another in order to survive, and the United States was the most desirable place for the Jews, but American diplomats told the Jews that the quota for going to the United States was full, and they could not do anything: Britain, fearing that the Jews going to Palestine would cause an Arab backlash, simply refused to accept the Jews, and other countries were afraid of Hitler's prestige and coldly closed their doors to them

Because Shanghai at that time became one of the five trade ports because of the defeat of the Opium War and China, "eleven countries successively set up "leased areas" in the area, and became the only city in the thirties where Jews could enter and exit without visas, and Jews in the German area of Europe could take advantage of this convenience to flee in large numbers, and at the peak of this peak, tens of thousands of Jews lived in the Hongkou district of Shanghai

Later, after the Japanese army invaded China and Shanghai fell, the Japanese army also planned to exterminate the Jews in Shanghai in order to conspire with Hitler, but it was not possible to implement it due to international public opinion

But most of the more than 2,000 people trapped in the alleys, most of Zuihou miraculously survived because the citizens of Shanghai who lived in the surrounding area took pity on them, "often secretly risking being caught by the Ri himself, and helped them by the primitive method of "airdropping", that is, throwing bread and other food

At the end of World War II, almost all of these Jews left, some to the United States, others to the Middle East, and some of them became the first founding fathers of the Restoration of Israel

"The kindness given to us by the Chinese people" We Jews will never forget the history of the refuge of the Jews in Shanghai City, China, "It is written in the textbook and the genealogical family history" Spielberg said with deep emotion, "I saw in the city of Lishun in the city of Independence, there was a circle of stone pillars around the flame of independence, and there was a text on it: Without their help, there would be no stone pillar engraved with Huaxia today"

Speaking of this, Spielberg himself was a little emotional: "If my relatives had escaped to China at that time, they would not have died in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany." @
