"Yuan Yan's nephew and grandson angrily scolded "To the Public", who is humiliating with Xiao Xianrou?

Yesterday evening, my country's famous director Yuan Yingda posted on Weibo to tear up the recently released "To the Public", and asked the main creators if they "really don't understand history"? Or is it "an ulterior motive that wants to borrow major historical events to make a fortune for entertainment"?

Director Yuan is the grandson of Comrade Yuan Yanmu, a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation in China, and Yuan Yanmu is the third brother of Mr. Yuan Yanqian. He is also a member of the China Zhi Gong Party. Therefore, Yuan Yingda claimed to be justifying his uncle and grandfather and the pioneer of the party.

He also uploaded a stereotyped photo of the actor who played his uncle's grandfather, as well as a photo of attending the premiere of "To the Public", and said, "The following little fresh meat who can't stand up straight in the girl plays my uncle and grandfather, who are you humiliating?" ”

Since last month, Director Yuan has been calling up the entire crew of "To the Public" on Weibo, and has posted several Weibo posts questioning the historical level and casting criteria of the main creators.

He said on Weibo that before the official founding of the Zhi Gong Party in 1925, its predecessor, Anliang Shodang, was already a political party that had nothing to do with organized crime, and its members were not only highly disciplined, but also almost all of the social elites of the time.

Although their Yuan family's Nintendo also belongs to Hongmen, this Shanmen is actually a family-style revolutionary group that is unswervingly committed to "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty", which can be confirmed from the memoirs of his great-grandfather (Yuan Yanqi's father).

As a result, neither his uncle nor grandfather was involved in organized crime at all. On the contrary, the two organizations of Zhigongtang and Nintendo made great contributions to the cause of the Chinese revolution and the anti-imperialist movement in Southeast Asia.

He pointed out the following three points: 1. Use "Little Fresh Meat" to interpret historical figures, and use entertainment films to shoot historical themes; 2. Entertaining history and disrespecting history; 3. Failure to communicate with the families of martyrs and disrespect their feelings.

Especially the actor of his uncle and grandfather, he performed Mr. Yuan Yanqian's uninhibited temperament like a nervous path. What's even more difficult to accept is the actor's taste of a sissy.

On behalf of the Yuan family in China and abroad, he strongly protested against this. However, so far, he is the only one in the Yuan family who has made relevant statements to the public.

And the main creators of "To the Public" also responded today, saying that the actors they chose have worked very hard to reproduce Mr. Yuan Yanqian's style, but Mr. Yuan in real history is really ......"

Our Master Yuan doesn't know yet...... Well, I don't know if I don't know the future, but the huge Seris can't find an actor who can play him.

The reason is that he is so handsome!

At this time, he had almost finished speaking: "Uncle, I will write a note of these contents for you when I go back next time." ”

Situ Meitang pondered for a while and said, "Brother Hongjian is really talented, and he really benefited a lot today. However, the old man is stupid, and he will have to trouble the elder brother to help him refer to the details when the time comes. ”

"Uncle, this is what should be done in the future. That's right......" Yuan Yanqian thought of one thing, "There is something I want to trouble my uncle in the future." ”

Situ Meitang said without hesitation: "Brother, please speak, as long as the old man can help, he will definitely do his best." ”

"Speaking of which, it's not a big deal...... Master Yuan smiled slightly, "Uncle, do you know the movie "Famine Orphan Girl"? ”

"Famine Orphan Girl? These days foreigners are boiling in the newspapers, talking about the movie that is very lively? Situ Dalong was a little puzzled after hearing this, but he immediately thought of something, "By the way, it is said that the script of "Famine Orphan Girl" is from the hands of my brother. ”

He exhaled and said with a look of admiration: "In the past, the old man heard that those who are capable can do anything. I thought it was a joke, but my brother is really omnipotent. Admire, admire, admire. ”

"Uncle has won the award, so I can only dance and make ink, but I am just a poor measure." Yuan Yanqian casually said modestly, and continued, "I am also one of the partners of DreamWorks, and I have a good relationship with Mr. David Griffith, and now I am just in time for this unprecedented movie masterpiece to start filming soon." So I was thinking about whether I could borrow chickens to lay eggs and train a few of our Chinese film professionals. ”

"This matter can only be done by asking my uncle to give me a hand."

"This is a good thing, the old man should help him!" Situ Meitang pondered for a while and said, "Speaking of movies, I remember that there are a few little guys in San Francisco who like to do this, so it's better for the old man to repair a letter and let them come over to meet Brother Hongji." You can pick a few of them that are satisfactory. ”

"Thank you, Uncle." Yuan Yanqian hugged her fists again, "By the way, there is one more thing." Have you ever heard the name Lai Man Wai? Speaking of which, he is also a native of Xinhui, Guangdong, and now lives in Hong Kong. This gentleman is also a member of the Alliance, and once participated in the Huanghuagang Uprising. ”

When it comes to the history of Chinese films, Li Minwei can't get around it.

Although it is a bit exaggerated to call him the "father of Chinese cinema", the crown of "father of Hong Kong cinema" is appropriate for him. Because many of the "No. 1 Hong Kong films and dramas" were created by him.

In the 19th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1893), Lai Man-wai was born in Japan, and was sent to St. Paul's College in Hong Kong by his father, who was doing business in Japan, when he was a child. Before the Huanghuagang Uprising, he used his costume box from the Qingping Lebai Drama Club to deliver weapons to the revolutionary party. This drama club is also the first new civilized drama group in Hong Kong.

In 1913, he formed a film company in Hong Kong called Huamei, which soon cooperated with China's first official film company, Asia Company, to shoot Zhuangzi Tries a Wife, which was also the first Hong Kong-produced feature film in film history, and Lai Man-wai's wife Yan Shanshan played the heroine, thus becoming the first Chinese film actress.

In 1921, he co-founded the first all-Chinese-owned New World Cinema in Hong Kong history with his brothers Lai Beihai and Lai Haishan.

In May 1923, he founded Hong Kong's first real film production company, Min Sun Film Company.

He later followed the Iron Fist Invincible and filmed a number of news documentaries documenting the National Revolution and the Northern Expedition, and was also known as the "father of Chinese documentaries".

In 1926, he would go to Shanghai to co-found the "Lianhua Film Company" with another famous filmmaker, Luo Minyou, and in the future, Lianhua, Xingxing, Tianyi, the three film companies were called the "Big Three" of Chinese films.

"Li Minwei ......," Situ Dalongtou thought for a while and said, "The old man seems to have seen this gentleman in Guangzhou." That's right, he was filming for Mr. Sun...... It's called a documentary. By the way, he is also our Hongmen brother! ”

Well, this Mr. Li is a Cantonese and an alliance or a movie and a theater, so it's strange if he is not a brother on the road. This is one of the reasons why our Master Yuan pretended to be the second master of the Hundred Years Old Mountain Sage, Hongmen's connections are really thick.

"That's great!" Yuan Yan stroked his palms and said, "Please write to Uncle immediately...... No, send a telegram to Li Jun. At this time, Mr. Griffith, the world's first film maker, was preparing to make a $3 million sound film, and if he wanted to, we could give him a free opportunity to watch and learn. Actually, it doesn't matter if you bring a few more people. ”

Needless to say, he was learning from the Jews and doing his best to pull his fellow citizens into the film industry.

Master Yuan not only wants to make a group of Chinese filmmakers appear in Hollywood, but also wants to take this opportunity to cultivate the domestic film industry.

Then participating in the filming of "Famine Orphan Girl" is a good learning opportunity.

In 1921, there was no formal film school, whether it was a director or an actor, it was all made by himself. Even if it's a chore, working in such a large crew is a very valuable experience.

Hong Kong's Lai Man-wai is just the beginning.

As we all know, Hong Kong movies at this time cannot be compared with Shanghai at all. There are Zheng Zhengqiu, who is known as the "first person in Chinese films", Zhang Shichuan, the founder and director of star films, and the Shaw brothers of Tianyi Pictures (Run Run Shaw is the sixth of them, and SB is the Shaw brothers) and other famous filmmakers.

In Master Yuan's view, all of these people should go to the United States to open their eyes, or simply stay there and become their own help to change the situation in Hollywood.

Situ Meitang naturally agreed to this request, but it also reminded him of another thing.

"Brother Hongji, I heard that you opened a shipping company?"

"Uncle, that's right. I do have a celestial shipping company, but at the moment there is only one ship, which runs from Europe to China. ”

Situ Da Long asked tentatively: "Is there a shortage of people in Brother Nahong's shipping company?" ”

"It's lacking, it's too lacking!" Yuan Yanqian sighed and said.

He thought to himself, what my shipping company is currently lacking can only rely on small Japan, but this big guy must have someone who wants to recommend it to me.

So he immediately said knowingly: "Uncle, if you have a familiar brother here who runs the boat, it will really be a great help!" ”

Situ Meitang was also very open in his heart when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Hongji, since this is the case, the old man will introduce you to a good friend." Please wait a moment. ”

He confessed his guilt and went out to whisper a few words in his brother's ear outside. In a short time, this brother attracted a man.

"Chen has seen a big dragon head." After this person entered the door, he also performed the etiquette of three and a half incense.

Our Master Yuan fixed his eyes and saw that this Chen should be over thirty. He is not tall but has a strong body, and his facial features are inconspicuous but with a fierce aura. This person's exposed skin is all bronzed, and there are one or two pieces of rust on his face, so it doesn't matter if he must be a good man who eats water rice.

"The old man will introduce you to the two of you." Situ Dalongtou stood up, pointed at the man and said, "Second Master Yuan, this is Chen Shize, the master of Chen, our brother of Hongmen in Chile." ”

In fact, there are quite a few overseas Chinese in South America, and like the Nevada Railway, the Panama Canal was built with the help of Chinese workers.

In the late 19th century, Peru, then a Portuguese colony, was the most rampant area in South America for trafficking Chinese laborers, known as the "coolie trade".

According to statistics, in the twenty-five years from 1849 to 1874, 100,000 Chinese coolies were sold to Peru. And the life of these Chinese coolies after arriving in Peru can only be described as "dark".

A consul at the U.S. Consulate in Peru at the time reported: "Many Chinese coolies are so weakened that they can barely stand up, but they are forced to work on their knees." When their palms were ground to the point of extreme pain, they had to tie the cart to their shoulders...... In this case, life has no meaning for the Chinese, but death is welcomed by them. This idea and practice of the coolies led the employers to strengthen their guards to prevent the coolies from committing suicide. ”

Where there is oppression, there is naturally resistance, and the Chinese workers constantly revolt and riot, and some of them fled to Chile, a long country in South America.

However, Chile, one of the three major ABC countries in South America (A is Argentina and B is Brazil), is the most friendly country to Chinese in the world, and there has not been a large-scale anti-Chinese incident in the following 100 years.

Thinking about it, this Chen Shize is the descendant of this group of Chinese workers.

"This is the second master of Yuan Yanqi Yuan, who is famous in New York, and he is also the brother of Hongmen in China."

Chen Shize's expression moved, and he opened his mouth to ask while clasping his fists and saluting: "Dare to ask the second master, but he is the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire"? The British lieutenant colonel who drank down in Washington the other day is also your old deeds? ”

I can't see that this person looks like a pirate, but he still has a few elegant bones, and he cares about current affairs.

Yuan Yanqian didn't dare to slack off, so he also came to a three-and-a-half incense and said: "Chen Da is polite, "A Song of Ice and Fire" is just a clumsy work by the younger brother, and that duel is just a joke." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect to be able to meet a great writer like Yuan Erye in Anliangtang today." Chen Shi said happily, "And the second master is actually our own brother!" ”

Situ Meitang took the opportunity to say: "Brother Shou Zhi is right, with a rising star like the two of you, we Hongmen can really be said to be full of talents!" ”

Oh, it turns out that Chen Shize keeps the word order, why not confuse the word or neutral?

"And our brothers of the Hong family put righteousness first, and the Chen family is now trapped in the shallows, and happened to meet the auspicious tide of Yuan Erye......"

After he said this, Master Yuan understood what was going on.

However, it turned out that Chen Shi, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve four, is really a descendant of Chinese workers and lives in Valparaíso, the largest port in Chile. His father was a small boat owner, and the family was not bad, and he was able to go to college for two years.

However, how can people walk by the river without getting their shoes wet, and the old man Chen encountered a shipwreck, and even the boat and people disappeared into the Pacific Ocean, and the family owed a huge amount of money because of this.

As the eldest son, he had to give up his studies, and he also ate water rice through his father's relationship.

Chen Shi has knowledge, ability and righteousness, and Mazu Niangniang is also quite blessed, the boat that has been running for so many years can not only support the elderly mother to pull her younger siblings, but also really pay off the old debts. A few years ago, he bought a second-hand steamer and became the master of Chen.

He caught up with the opportunity to make a fortune from Prohibition, and originally thought that he could make a fortune by smuggling spirits, and maybe get a fleet out in the future. However, I didn't expect that the last time I entered New York Harbor, I don't know if it was a loss of wind or bad luck, so I ran into the alcohol prohibition commissioner stationed at the customs to come on board the ship for inspection.

If this happens, not only will the ship be seized, but even people will have to go to prison for food.

Chen Da saw that the situation was not good, so he simply wrapped some soft and jumped ship with a few old brothers to swim ashore. As a son of Hongmen, of course he came to join Situ Dalongtou.

So he met our Master Yuan.

"Pickup pickup."

"Master Ball, what are you skinning?"
