Subtitle of this chapter: It is better to please the elite than to attract the masses!

……………………………………………

The sun finally sets on the horizon, and the screen is dark again.

"Click."

Our Master Yuan stood up and turned off the projector, but instead of turning on the lights, he still left the room in darkness.

As he expected, the sound of sniffing and blowing his nose sounded in the dark room.

In fact, the edited "Famine Orphan Girl" is not the first screening, when he went to Limehouse that day, Yuan Yanqian's friends and the film crew of this film had a sneak peek...... That one cried.

It is said that the scene was quite chaotic at that time. The girls wept so hard that they fainted from time to time. The men were slightly better, but their eyes were red after reading it.

After a long while, Collins said in a thick nasal tone, "Dr. Yuan, please turn on the lights." ”

Sure enough, Ireland's founding father also became a rabbit eye.

Yuan Yanqian asked with a faint expression: "Mr. Collins, how is this film?" ”

"Very......" Collins said after a moment's thought, "I can't describe it in words!" I really can't imagine a movie being made to this extent. ”

Is that.

Although "The Orphan Girl of Famine" is not as groundbreaking as "The Birth of a Nation", it crushes all the films of this era in terms of spiritual core and artistic expression.

Especially after Master Yuan's "post-production", this film completely subverts people's concept of film.

He even added contemporaneous subtitles to the silent version, instead of the dialogue being played on the screen after a stoppage, as was the case in silent films at the time.

He rubbed his face with his hands, and his face turned grim and said, "So I can't let this movie be released in Ireland!" ”

"Dr. Yuan, I'm sorry. It was my decision. ”

Collins stood up, stretched out his hand to Yuan Yanqian and said, "Dr. Yuan, thank you very much for making this film for us Irish, but...... I'm sorry. ”

Well, this guy is indeed very cool-headed, and he deserves to be a hero who can do great things.

But in this way, it will ruin Lao Tzu's big thing!

Our Master Yuan put his hands in his pockets, and instead of shaking the other party's hand, he looked at him coldly and said, "Mr. Collins, you will regret it!" ”

"Maybe......" Collins retracted his hand and sighed, "Sorry to interrupt." ”

He nodded politely to the two ladies, then patted the cheeks that hadn't moved since turning on the lights and said, "Gannon, let's go." ”

"......" Ganon stood up in silence.

He took a deep look at Yuan Yanqi, and still followed Collins out of the door without saying a word.

“FXCK！”

As soon as the door closed, Yuan Yanqian couldn't help but come to a "Ford".

At this time, Lillian Jixu also asked a little overwhelmed: "Tired, what should we do?" ”

"How do I know what we're going to do?!"

Master Yuan lost his temper with his lover very rarely, and said very irritably: "Damn, how do I know that they will admit it?!" ”

He turned around and entered the study with a blushing face, and closed the door with a "bang".

His old man was really, really, very, very angry at this time.

Lao Tzu arranged everything, and was ready to risk his life to personally carry out the "Tai Sui Operation", but he didn't expect that there was a big problem in the last and most critical link!

Like all advanced industrial nations, the British Empire was experiencing a decline in fertility at this time.

Declining fertility rates led to a shortage of labor, which was exacerbated by the growth of the middle class during the same period.

As a result, the Irish became the native "migrant workers" of the British Empire.

At this time, they are responsible for the hardest physical work, such as porters at docks and stations.

Obviously, there must have been a number of supporters and sympathizers of the Irish independence movement, and after a bit of reorganization, a smooth logistics network will be formed. As the head of intelligence for the IRA, Collins manages the network.

Without his approval, how could Tai Sui transport his "goods" to Ireland?

"Tuk, tuk, tuk."

About twenty minutes later, when Yuan Yanqian was still walking around the study with his hands behind his back, he heard someone knocking on the door, and he was in a very bad mood and yelled at the door: "No matter who it is, don't bother me!" ”

I only heard the big star say timidly: "Tired, I think you should still meet this gentleman." ”

I said...... All right! ”

Master Yuan, who was a little more level-headed, knew that it was not his lover's fault, so he took a few deep breaths and opened the door.

"Is that you? What are you here for? ”

At this time, the "cap" who was not wearing a cap said with a very serious face: "Dr. Yuan, Mr. Collins will not help you, but our Headless Horsemen Society!" ”

"Huh? You'll help me ......"

Oops, Lao Tzu is wrong again!

Yuan Yanqian instantly understood, he had always subconsciously regarded the IRA as a regular force that was forbidden by order. In fact, quite the opposite, this is a group of ...... It's a bit too much to call a rabble, but it's just right to call it a straggler.

Michael Collins is so famous, even bigger than the IRA itself, that the British are offering a £10,000 bounty for any information that can catch or kill him. From this he got the nickname "The Big Guy".

That's why he became the nominal "co-master", but only in name.

This "co-master" can be regarded as an elite, even a movie like "Famine Orphan Girl" can't fool around. However, the nominal subordinates of the "co-master" are not so sober-minded.

Well, this is like writing an online article, and it really is a lot of help from those who have attained the Dao.

It seems that he has been mixed in the elite pile, forgetting his old man's teaching of "don't be separated from the masses".

"Hahaha......" Yuan Yanqi, whose face immediately turned cloudy, laughed loudly, walked up and hugged the other party's shoulder affectionately and said, "Brother, your name is ......"

"Ganon, Ganon-Towndend."

"Very well, Mr. Townsend. Now let's go to my study and talk about it......"

Thursday morning, July 14, 1921.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Now we're going to separate for the time being. ”

Yuan Yanqian pointed to the big director and big star and said, "Lilian, David." You're going to Dublin right now with your film crew. ”

Then he looked at his friends and said, "Helen, John." I suggest that you depart for Europe now and wait for us there. ”

Without waiting for the "Emperor" to speak, the "Queen" preemptively retorted: "No, we are going to Ireland too." ”

"Alright then, whatever you want." Master Yuan pursed his lips and nodded.

Then he said to the other two, "Emma, Louie." You will stay with me in London. ”

"Especially Emma, if you want big news, you have to stay in London!"

"Your Excellency Priestess" looked excited and nodded vigorously. His Majesty the Pope had no choice but to agree.

Our Master Yuan finally looked at his female secretary and said, "Aisi, what about you......"

"Stay with me for now."
