380 [Gold Absorption]
There was no premiere, "Food Truck" was released in Taipei and Hong Kong at the same time on January 5, and as for central and southern Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Macau and other regions, the time was slightly later.
When Bruce Lee participated in "Enter the Dragon", Robert. Wall later said in an interview that he went home after making the film and didn't take the co-production much seriously. It wasn't until one night, when he saw a long line of ticket buyers on the streets of the United States, that he asked his companions what was going on in front of him.
The companion tells him that your movie is out.
The same is true of the release of "Food Truck".
Since the second half of 1975, Hong Kong has experienced a slight increase in prices and a slight increase in prices. However, the usually frugal citizens are not stingy with their favorite movies, such as "Genius and Idiot", which has just been painted for less than half a month.
On the streets of Hong Kong, when evening approached, a long queue quickly formed at the entrance of the theater.
Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia walked side by side, looking at the hot ticket purchase screen outside the theater, Lin Qingxia said: "Your fans are really crazy. ”
"In fact, the requirements of movie fans are very simple, as long as a director makes every movie well-made, then they will trust you. Once you know it's your movie, you'll not skimp on that ticket money. Wang Zijun said with a smile.
The medium-sized cinema in front of him is one of the few cinemas in Hong Kong, and Wang Zijun took the tickets he had prepared in advance and poured into the screening hall with the crowd.
found a seat in front of him and sat down, when the movie was about to start, Wang Zijun looked back and saw that it was full directly.
At the same time, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao led a ticket from the Yuan family class to be in a theater, waiting for the screening.
"Yuan Long, do you think our movie will be popular" Yuan Biao asked with some apprehension, he is different from Cheng Long, and it is the first time he has played the leading role.
Cheng Long said: "How can the boss's drama not be popular." ”
"Hehe, I'm just talking." Yuan Biao said with a smile. After filming, he never saw the finished film again, and the dubbing was also done by other voice actors.
Yuan Qiu said: "If Ah Zhen is popular, you can invite a few of us to dinner." ”
The other brothers echoed, and Yuan Biao blushed and said: "I am also the male protagonist, but Yuan Long's is the main thing." ”
The brothers and sisters coaxed one after another, and it took a long time to quiet down, but they heard the female voice behind them say: "Why isn't Wang Zijun the leading actor, I haven't seen him in a movie for a long time." ”
"Cheng Long is not bad, I have watched his "Drunken Fist", which is very funny." Another female voice.
"Cheng Long has Wang Zijun acting well, he has no acting skills at all." The woman retorted.
Cheng Long, who was still a little happy and proud, listened to this conversation, and his smile suddenly disappeared, and the woman's words poked at his weakness, that is, although his skills were good, his acting skills were immature.
The film has begun, and Wang's tiger LOGO comes out arrogantly and domineeringly, followed by the five big characters of "Wang Zijun's works".
At the beginning of the feature film, the two doors opened, Cheng Long and Yuan Biao got up from the bed and got dressed in a daze, and then it was a sparring to remind the audience that these two young boys have kung fu.
The two got dressed and went out, and the short Italian man next door stared at a panda eye and ran in, saying that he was found by his wife and wanted to kill him.
Cheng Long had no choice but to turn over and jump down from the window, fall onto the canopy of the shop below, and fall to the street in a dashing manner. When Yuan Biao jumped, the boss directly pulled down the awning, and Yuan Biao sat on the ground.
"Hahaha......" laughed for the first time in the theater.
Then Sammo Hung appeared, sneakily opening the door with a master key, making people think he was an international thief, but it turned out to be a temporary worker who worked for less than a week for a long time.
It wasn't until Cheng Long and Yuan Biao's fast food truck started working that the high-tech food truck, which seemed to be fully automatic, immediately attracted the audience's admiration. Until Cheng Long stepped on the skateboard to deliver fast food, it made some old boys scream, that action was too handsome.
But this is just the beginning, Ke Shouliang led a group of people to drive a motorcycle out to make trouble, showing off all kinds of driving skills.
Ke Shouliang's team has only been formed for a year, and this is the first time it has appeared on the screen, and the previous Chinese-language movies, although there are occasional car skills, have not been as professional as in this movie.
In a movie theater in Ximending, Taipei, a Fei slapped his thigh and shouted: "I X, the locomotive can still play like this",
"It's so handsome, I'm going to try it tomorrow."
"Brother Ji, we don't have a locomotive, you were detained like that."
"Idiot, if you don't rob it, why don't you come out and mess around?"
When Cheng Long was crazy about the gangsters, someone in the movie theater suddenly shouted: "Isn't that Ke Shouliang?" How did you become black?"
"It's really him" many people saw it.
People didn't expect that Ke Shouliang, who was famous for "Meteor Butterfly Sword" before, would actually come out to play a hooligan trick.
The plot of the movie is very simple, that is, Sammo Hung, a private detective, takes on a mission to find the daughter left by the earl, namely Laura. Ferner's Schvia goes back to inherit the inheritance. And Laura. Furner's cousin, Albert, sent another group of men to arrest her in order to become his heir.
Cheng Long, who sells fast food, and Yuan Biao are friends with Sammo Hung , and it just so happens that Yuan Biao's neurotic father and Shi Wei's mother are in tow, so the three of them protect Shi Wei together. After Albert captures his cousin, the three of them go to the castle to rescue people, and finally fight a decisive battle.
The plot of the whole movie is not complicated, and the main selling point is the various flying car stunts, as well as the fight scenes of Cheng Long and others.
When they arrived at the plot of the mental hospital, bursts of laughter rang out from the theater, especially when Cheng Long and the others were despised by the neurotics.
"It's so funny, how can there be such a smart neurotic"
"This is called sarcasm or not, and sarcasm is not yet seen through by neurosis in the world."
"Where the irony comes from. Isn't it just funny? It's so profound. ”
To Laura. Funa appeared on the stage, and a hair-shaking action by the lake directly made the eyes of the male audience straight.
"This chick is the heroine? It's so beautiful."
"It's too punctual, where did Wang Zijun find such a Western beauty."
"This woman's name is Laura. Fona, I heard that he has signed a contract with Wang's company, and he will definitely make movies often in the future. "There are insiders who sell their own news.
"Really? After that, there will be a blessing for the eyes. ”
Cheng Long and Yuan Biao listened to the laughter and exclamations around them, and suddenly put their minds at ease, this movie was obviously successful. They were afraid that they would smash the performance, this is a $2 million production, if it doesn't work, they will be scrapped, and the pit will definitely be called box office poison.
Yuan Biao played decently, but Cheng Long and Sammo Hung's movements were full of funny, and almost every time the two of them made a shot, it would cause a burst of laughter.
And the car chase scenes, all kinds of crashes, all kinds of leaps, and all kinds of explosions, are stunned by the audience who have never seen the world today.
The same is true for many kung fu film directors who come to learn from experience.
Wang Xinglei is one of them, he is one of the few good directors in Taiwan who shoots kung fu films, and he uses stunts to keep pace with the times. Since the success of Wang Zijun's previous films, he has learned from almost every film, and then added his own ideas to integrate them into his new films. Just last year, he won the 8th International "Best Stunt Award for Monster and Horror Film" in Spain.
He was originally very proud of the honor he had achieved, but when he saw this flying car scene against the sky, he looked at each other in surprise and was speechless.
Cheng Xiaodong was also sitting in the cinema with his father at this time, and if there was no Sammo Hung in the fast food truck this time, the action director would be him. Today, nine out of ten action movies made by Wang's Film Company are designed by him, and the mix is smooth. As Wang's movies hit the market, Cheng Xiaodong's reputation as a martial arts instructor gradually spread throughout Hong Kong and Taiwan, and from time to time a crew came to spend a lot of money to invite him.
But Cheng Xiaodong's father Cheng Gang is getting more and more miserable, he shot Shaw Brothers' big production on the street a few years ago, and knowing that he would be left out in the cold, he left Shaw Brothers and his son directly to Taiwan.
Cheng Xiaodong joined the newly established Wang Film Company, but Cheng Dong joined the Federal Film Company. As a result, he only made one film, and the Federation was not good, and then he entered the unlucky man who has been unlucky, and now he is working as an assistant director.
"Scrapping so many cars at once, this Wang Zijun can really pull sponsorship." Cheng Gang looked at the screen and was amazed.
Cheng Xiaodong said: "Dad, why don't you come to Wang's too." The boss takes good care of me, and after you come, there will definitely be a film. ”
"You still have the vision and chose the Wang family early." Cheng Gang sighed. Who would have known that a small company like Wang's would quickly grow and that Cathay Pacific, Taiwan's largest private film company, would go out of business? ,
Cheng Gang nodded, agreeing to his son's suggestion.
On the screen, the two gangsters played by Irushandu and Kaibo came out and directly beat several main characters to the north. The fierce attack immediately caused a lot of discussion from the audience.
"**,This villain is such a dick"
"Isn't that Ilusander from Game of Death?"
"You haven't watched the news, these two are Bruce Lee's apprentices. Can Bruce Lee's apprentice be bad? ”。
Wang Zijun sat in the movie theater, but he didn't pay too much attention to the comments around him. He is being a model husband, feeding Lin Qingxia, who is concentrating on watching a movie, to eat popcorn.
Sammo Hung chased the three to Spain, and the rescue operation began.
The film finally reached its climax, with all kinds of hilarious plots, as well as fight scenes that are not inferior to Bruce Lee's movies, which made people's blood boil.
It's so cool, it's too violent
Especially in the last fight, the authoritative magazine "Black Belt" rated it as the second biggest attraction after "Enter the Dragon" screen fighting.
Bomber Binny in the original. Yuquedez was replaced by Irushandu, the fighting characteristics of the two are different, here Wang Zijun modified a lot of moves, but the excitement is not inferior to the original. In particular, the fight scenes between Yuan Biao and Sammo Hung were also added, making the final battle more exciting.
"Ahh
On the screen, Sammo Hung and Albert both use swords, and the two almost use a lose-lose style of play, and they also pay attention to defense at the beginning. In the end, the red-eyed two people were almost bloody, until Cheng Long and Yuan Biao rushed to help, and the two were already covered in blood.
The male audience watched the fight, and they were full of praise for the beauty of the heroine. In addition to admiring Cheng Long and Yuan Biao, the female audience also has a lot of likes for Albert, who has a noble demeanor and handsome appearance in the end.
Wang Zijun was chewing popcorn in his mouth, and the audience around him was already boiling.
"Good punctuality"
"It's called fighting, and other kung fu movies are just a piece of," said an audience member who was extremely excited.
"Bruce Lee's film is also?" Someone was upset.
"Of course, except for Bruce Lee's films. I think "Enter the Dragon" and "Food Truck" are the best kung fu movies, even "Game of Death" can't compare. Although "Game of Death" is played wonderfully, the plot is too monotonous. ”
Lin Qingxia smiled and stuffed popcorn into Wang Zijun's mouth, and the audience's affirmation made her proud. The director, who has made countless fans crazy, is sitting next to her, and he is her husband Lin Qingxia.
The film ends with cheers, and the audience spontaneously gives a standing ovation, and when the credits are finished, they still can't get enough of it.
"The movie is fantastic, and the tickets are absolutely great value."
"I'll just say, is there anything bad about Wang Zijun's movie?"
"Who said the year before last that Wang Zijun's "Unparalleled in the World" was rotten?"
"That film is already rotten, so it's okay to say no."
"I think it's good, it's because your grade is too low to understand."
"Alright, don't argue. Let's go get in line again and buy tickets, I still want to see one. ”
"No, it's at least eleven o'clock after watching the next show. Your mother has to beat you to death. ”
"Let her beat her, I'm going to buy a ticket anyway, do you like to watch it or not."
…………………………………………………………………………………………
On the second day of the release, Wang Zijun had already taken Lin Qingxia and Laura. Funa returned to Taiwan, and the latter became an instant hit because of "Food Truck", and now the number of fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan has skyrocketed.
Laura didn't dare to go out on the street now, and as soon as she went out, she was immediately watched, and she could only speak a few simple words in Chinese, and she didn't know how to answer. When Wang Zijun arranged for her, she learned to communicate in Chinese as soon as possible, and only shot advertisements for some high-end fashion products during the period to maintain exposure.
Bai Muyang got the box office statistics over there, and he was so happy that he couldn't speak.
The boss is the boss, and the box office is red as soon as it comes out, and the theaters around the country are all full, and there is once again a scene where it is difficult to find a ticket for the theater. And the other films in the Chinese New Year file were made tragic by Wang Zijun, even if it was Wang's own film, few people cared about it.
The film review in "Ming Pao Weekly" wrote: "Five years ago, Wang Zijun first appeared on the big screen in Qiong Yao's "Caiyun Fei", playing an affectionate young man. I'm afraid no one would have expected that this well-mannered young man would set off such a big storm in the Chinese music scene. ,
As soon as he entered the film industry, Wang Zijun picked up the guide tube and ambitiously filmed "Bloody Lonely City", which was a hot war scene and amazing special effects. counted Wang Zijun's few steps of films, all of which are moving with love, but I didn't expect that Wang Zijun's first kung fu film could be so humorous, and the fight scenes were not as good as Bruce Lee's.
Perhaps, everyone has forgotten that Wang Zijun is also a real kung fu.
The design of the martial arts action, Wang Zijun, as the screenwriter of this film, has many lines that are very exquisitely designed, which is hilarious and amazing. Every time Wang Zijun's movie is released, we will pick up some lines to enjoy, let's start below.
My condition is that I agree to everything you say. I can't imagine that such a brainless person can survive in this world.
Nervousness and stupidity are two different things. You can go, don't stop the Earth from spinning. We keep so many secrets, it doesn't matter if we keep one less. If there is a choice, no one will be willing to fall for granted. It only took six days for God to create the world, and eight days to catch that girl, which is enough time. You can not believe me, but you cannot insult me. If we believe you, we insult our wisdom......
And so on, these lines are from Wang Zijun's hand, and every sentence is worth playing.
If you want to evaluate "Food Truck" in an all-round way, then I can say that this film is excellent from the screenwriter's lines, action design, special effects scenes, and music interludes. I think that if we Chinese film directors can do one of these things, your film will be a blockbuster......"
The reporter interviewed Hu Jinquan, who only won the award from Cannes last year, and asked him what he thought of the film.
"It's a very interesting movie, and the fight scenes are very exciting, which is worth learning from." Hu Jinquan said and suddenly broke the news, "In addition, Director Wang is a director I admire very much, and I have signed a contract with Wang's a few days ago and officially joined Wang's Film Company." ”
Subsequently, Cheng Gang also came out and said that he and Hu Jinquan joined the Wang family, and the two were preparing to cooperate on a martial arts movie.
With the addition of the two, the director team of Wang's Film Company has grown a lot.
In fact, in addition to them, there are nearly ten directors who joined Wang's during this time, as well as some other behind-the-scenes personnel and directors of the film.
These talents, all of them are from the Federal Film Company.
The League of Nations, which has been on the verge of bankruptcy, delayed for a while before announcing the cessation of filming, and it took a while to announce its closure.
As soon as the League of Nations collapsed, its film resources immediately attracted other electronic music companies in Taipei to rob it, just like the collapse of Cathay Pacific at the beginning.
Bai Muyang also made a lot of money, and continuously dug up a bunch of staff members of the League of Nations, and almost two-thirds of the outstanding talents he obtained. As for the studio, it was snatched up by First Pictures, and the rest of the other companies bought the film equipment of the League of Nations at a low price, which also took a lot of advantage.
However, the cinema line, the theater chain and the production company of the League of Nations are operated separately, and after the production company went bankrupt, its theater chain is still strong, and now it is listed as one of the major theater chains in Taiwan along with Wang's Cinema Line and First Pictures' Ximen Cinema Line.
After the distribution of the spoils, the scale of Wang's Film Company expanded rapidly, with nearly 400 employees, and it became the No. 1 private film company in Taiwan.
Huang Hanzhuo and other bosses of film companies could only stare dryly, and Wang's development gradually threw them away after the split and reorganization last year.
This time, the big production of "Food Truck" was placed in Taiwan, and only Wang could shoot it.
In the next half month, "Fast Food Truck" was successively released in central and southern Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Macao and other places, like a gold-absorbing machine, frantically earning money for Wang's account.
And Cheng Long, Yuan Biao, and Sammo Hung have also become the top kung fu stars after Bruce Lee because of the popularity of the movie. Especially Cheng Long, his funny humorous fights have been completely rooted in the hearts of the people, and his salary has risen from the quasi-first-line to the ranks of top movie stars.
At the same time, the inspectors sent by the Japanese film company, after watching "Food Truck", also immediately made a decision to introduce it, and now they are nervously dubbing Japanese dialogue, and it will be released around the Spring Festival.
The Asian film distribution company co-founded by Wang Zijun and Zou Wenhuai has also entered the initial stage, and the person in charge is a Japanese named Saburo Takahashi, who has been engaged in film distribution for a long time and is familiar with the Japanese film market. Wang Zijun and Zou Wenhuai each sent a capable cadre to be vice presidents, responsible for administration and finance respectively. ,
In the United States, Wang Zijun has already sent the film over, and Dragon Tiger Film Company is asking people to dub the movie with English dialogue, and it will be released in North America after the Spring Festival, followed by the European market.
Everything was almost done, and Wang Zijun finally relaxed. It's okay to accompany Lin Qingxia at home, or call Lin Fengjiao's mother and son in the United States, and occasionally go out secretly to live a two-person world with Zhao Yazhi.
In his spare time, he began to write about the arcade game planning, Nintendo's second arcade game, Wang Zijun is ready to make "Contra". The game development team in the United States also sent back news that they are now developing a customs clearance game similar to mushroom picking, and I don't know what the specific content is.
………………………………………………
On the mainland, a few days after the release of "Fast Food Truck", Premier Zhou Enlai died. Three days later, a million people in Beijing sent the prime minister on a ten-mile long street.
When the news reached Hong Kong and Taiwan, the newspapers in Taiwan did not gloat over the situation, but only reported it as a short message, and most people did not know about it at all and did not care much about it. There are many commentators on current affairs in Hong Kong, and many leftist figures have spontaneously mourned.
Taipei, Zhao Yazhi's home.
Wang Zijun looked to the north, calculating the date in his heart. The catastrophic Tangshan earthquake is about to happen, Mao Taizu is about to leave, Deng Gong is about to come to power, and the day of reform and opening up is not far away.
It's just that he, Wang Zijun, as a "supporter" of the Kuomintang government, is afraid that he will have to wait a few years before he can return to the mainland to have a look.
"Zijun, what are you looking at?" Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but ask when she saw Wang Zijun in a daze on the balcony.
"Nothing." Wang Zijun turned his head and smiled, and suddenly said, "Yazhi, do you want to go to the mainland to have a look?" ”
"What are you going to do on the mainland?" Zhao Yazhi said strangely that her eldest brother fled from the mainland with her parents, but Zhao Yazhi was born in Hong Kong and came to Taiwan to learn Chinese to make films, and she did not have the slightest impression of the mainland.
"It's nothing, I just want to see it." Wang Zijun said, "The Yangtze River, the Great Wall, the Yellow Mountain, the Yellow River, these things only stay in the classics for young people in Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”
Zhao Yazhi walked up to Wang Zijun, leaned on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you go to the mainland, you won't be arrested yet." ”
Wang Zijun said: "That maybe. ”
"By the way, the company recently approached me and said that I was asked to star in "Eight Hundred Heroes", is it your director?". Zhao Yazhi asked.
"Eight Hundred Heroes" is one of the patriotic propaganda films set by the cultural propaganda department above after Chiang Ching-kuo came to power.
From planning to script creation, to finding actors, directors, and setting up scenes, I was busy for half a year, and I changed the three heroines before and after, but I didn't approve it, and this time I found Zhao Yazhi again.
Wang Zijun shook his head and said: "It's not me who filmed, I was the producer, and I also participated in the creation of the script." ”
Zhao Yazhi asked, "Then should I take it?" ”
"Whatever you want, make your own decisions." Wang Zijun said.
In history, the heroine of this film was Lin Qingxia, but Lin Qingxia couldn't move away from the schedule some time ago. If Zhao Yazhi can't pass as the heroine, then Lin Qingxia can only come.
"Then I'll take it." Zhao Yazhi said.
"Don't talk about this, it's rare to be together." Wang Zijun held Zhao Yazhi's face and said with a smile, "Azhi, you are beautiful again." ”
Zhao Yazhi smiled sweetly and said, "You will coax people." ”
Wang Zijun stroked her cheek and said, "Really, I tell the truth, you are becoming more and more attractive." ”
"So what are you waiting for? Kiss me," Zhao Yazhi threw a wink at him.
Wang Zijun lowered his head and tasted it on his lips, Zhao Yazhi closed her eyes slightly, with a faint flush and smile on her face.
It's winter now, Zhao Yazhi is wearing a windbreaker, Wang Zijun kissed and picked up her windbreaker, and the woolen sweater inside outlined her perfect body amazingly tempting.
Wang Zijun hugged her and walked all the way to the bedroom, and he was not in a hurry to act, so he slowly took off Zhao Yazhi's clothes, and the two hugged naked in the warm quilt, their skin was grinding, and their mouths exchanged love.
A week later, Wang's Film Company held a press conference with the outside world, and a large-scale patriotic propaganda film will start filming after the Spring Festival.
At the reception, in front of many reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wang Zijun said: ""Eight Hundred Heroes" is an old movie, which has been filmed in 1938, the 27th year of the Republic of China, and we belong to the remake this time. But we will definitely try to make it well, and do everything we can to recreate the classics of the year. ”,
"Director Wang, do you want to direct it yourself?" The journalist asked.
"No, we'll ask a director who is more familiar with the history of the year to shoot it. However, I will personally be in charge of the technical graphics of the battlefield and strive to make it as good as possible. Wang Zijun said, "Today I invite you to come, in addition to announcing the filming date of the film, there is a more important thing to say. ”
All the reporters looked at each other, today is a press conference about "Eight Hundred Heroes", why did it get involved in other things.
Wang Zijun continued: "As we all know, "Eight Hundred Heroes" is based on real historical events. On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident caused Japan to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China. On August 13, the Japanese army attacked Shanghai. The Chinese and Japanese sides fought a general battle in Shanghai and its surrounding areas for more than three months. On October 26, the battle on the front line was lost, and in order to cover the retreat of the army, the 88th Division was ordered to leave 1 regiment to defend Zhabei and contain the Japanese army. Major Xie Jinyuan, Major Yang Ruifu and others led 3 infantry companies, 1 machine gun company, and 1 mortar company, a total of more than 450 people, called 800 people, with the Sixing warehouse as a stronghold to carry out cover tasks. These more than 400 people, guarding the Sixing warehouse, fought with the Japanese army for 4 days and nights, annihilated more than 200 enemies, and only suffered more than 30 casualties, successfully completing the task......"
The reporters were even more confused, not knowing what Wang Zijun wanted to express, before they came to visit today, they had already figured out this historical event, what did Wang Zijun repeat it?
"The heroic feat of 800 heroes fighting against the Japanese invaders alone shocked the hearts of the whole country and attracted domestic and international attention and respect." Wang Zijun's words changed, "However, these warriors were captured by the Japanese army in the end, who knows what their fate will be?" ”
The reporters shook their heads in unison.
Wang Zijun said: "Everyone knows that I made movies in Europe a few months ago. During the filming, I met a foreign Chinese, and this gentleman told me a piece of news, which shocked me very much."
The reporters sharpened their ears to listen, Wang Zijun's revelations have always been very exciting, and this time it is estimated that he will say some shocking news.
Wang Zijun looked at the reactions of the people below and said, "He said that one of his friends likes to travel. When his friend was traveling in the Pacific some time ago, he found a cemetery for Chinese martyrs on a desolate hillside in the South Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea. The cemetery is now ruined, the grass is everywhere, and many of the tombstones of the grave are broken. Do you know whose tombs belong to? ”。
After listening to the discussions, the reporters all had speculations in their hearts, and finally a reporter asked: "Could it be the 800 heroes?" ”
"Yes, there are more than 600 mausoleums of anti-Japanese fighters in the cemetery, including 800 heroes led by Xie Jinyuan, who guarded the Sixing warehouse in Shanghai," Wang Zijun said heavily.
"Boom"
There was an uproar.
"Mr. Wang, you're not joking, are you? How can the mausoleums of many soldiers of the National Army be in the South Pacific? ”
"Mr. Wang, are you mistaken?"
Reporters raised questions one after another, and some even suspected that Wang Zijun was making up something that didn't exist and maliciously hyped up.
Wang Zijun said: "There will be no mistake, I have already sent someone to investigate some time ago." The martyrs there, in addition to the strong men guarding the Sixing warehouse, also include the New Fourth Army of the Communist Army, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Burma Expeditionary Force of our army. They were all captured by the Japanese, escorted there to work as coolies, and then died in a foreign land. After their deaths, the local overseas Chinese could not bear to expose the bones of the martyrs to the wind and rain, and raised funds to build the martyrs' cemetery. Unfortunately, soon the volcano erupted, the locals moved away, and the cemetery was left uncared for, and it was becoming dilapidated. The man I sent came back and said that some of the graves had been torn open, and even the bones were exposed to the air, and that the whole cemetery had become a paradise for foxes, hares, and wild beasts. ”
Wang Zijun said solemnly, and the reporters below gradually removed malicious speculation.
Wang Zijun continued: "These martyrs, they are all heroes who shed their heads and blood for the country, and they are the heroic souls of the Chinese nation, so we should not forget them, so I launched an initiative, and I am personally willing to donate 1 million Taiwan dollars to organize people to invite the remains of these martyrs back to China and bury them carefully." If anyone is willing to contribute money and effort, they can join in, and even those who want to go to the South Pacific can join as long as the authorities approve it. We need 50 volunteers for this team. ”
"I sign up",
"I'm going to sign up too"
Reporters raised their hands, and this was a great opportunity for interviews, whether they were motivated by public interest or wanted to report.
The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the news of Premier Zhou's death has not completely dissipated in the Hong Kong media, and the movement launched by Wang Zijun to welcome back the remains of martyrs has once again attracted attention.
In just three days, there were hundreds of applicants, among whom there was a veteran named Qiu Sheng, who was the survivor of the 800 heroes in the Sixing Warehouse that year.
Old man Qiu came out to be interviewed, saying that they were working as coolies in the South Pacific, and at the peak there were nearly 2,000 people, but in the end only a few hundred people died. Later, the Americans defeated the Japanese and transported the survivors back to China, leaving the dead soldiers behind.
Qiu Sheng's words immediately confirmed the correctness of the news Wang Zijun's words, and people's sentiment to welcome back the remains of the martyrs was even higher.
In the Jieshou Hall in Taipei, Yan Jiagan and Chiang Ching-kuo, who received the news, paid special attention. For Chiang Ching-kuo, this is exactly what he needs to consolidate his rule and gain public opinion from all walks of life.
Wang Zijun's matter is just in line with his interests.
If these bones are brought back, if nothing else, those countless veterans of the Kuomintang in Taiwan will at least have a great favor for Chiang Ching-kuo.
"This little Wang, why didn't you say hello before?" Jiang Jingguo scolded with a smile.
Yan Jiagan is now only looking forward to Jiang Jingguo, and asked: "Who is responsible for this matter?" ”
Chiang Ching-kuo said: "Take that veteran from Hong Kong and go with him as a representative of the veteran." The representative of the people, even if Wang Zijun, let him go in person. Our military is also going to send a senior general and a veteran to the past, and then on the government's side, who do you think is appropriate? ”
Yan Jiagan said: "Why don't I go?" Quite a few words"
Chiang Ching-kuo thought for a while and said, "You are the president of the country, how can you go in person, just let me go." ”
"That's not going to work." Yan Jiagan was shocked, in the South Pacific, where birds don't, if Chiang Ching-kuo had three longs and two shorts in the past, the political situation in Taiwan, which had just stabilized, would be chaotic again.
"Who's going to do that?" Chiang Ching-kuo also felt that what he had just said was inappropriate.
"What do you think of that man?" Yan Jiagan said.
"That?" Chiang Ching-kuo asked.
"Yes." Yan Jiagan nodded.
