Subtitle of this chapter: Learn from Comrade Akashi!

"Dead high school!"

Nomura Kichizaburo and Yamamoto Fifty-six are military strategists and not artists, so they must look at this script from a different angle than David Griffiths, and they are also smart people, and they only read one beginning to understand Yuan Da's screenwriter's mind.

They have been in the United States for more than a year, and they still know a little about the sentiment of the American people. As Yuan Yanqian said three months ago, Americans "love God and hate the British." In 1921, the United States had at least 10 million Irish descendants, the second, a little more than the third-place English. Inpence listened that the first white American population was of German descent.

In a democratic society, the population is the vote. Assuming that ninety percent of America's population is now Irish, the British Empire can now wash and sleep.

But that was enough, especially in America at the time, where the poorer Irish, Italians, and Jews lived together. In these districts, their votes are so important that they can influence both Republican and Democratic policies.

So it's not hard to guess what kind of reaction these Irish people will have after watching this movie that reflects the Great Famine in Ireland.

After reading the script, Nomura Kichizaburo couldn't help but pat the armrest of the sofa and praised sincerely: "Mr. Yuan is worthy of being a university scholar who has learned everything from the East and the West, not only is he so well written, but even the movie script is so good, which is really admirable." ”

Yamamoto Fifty-six was even more excited, and said categorically: "Although I don't know any movies, but in my opinion, this "Famine Orphan Girl" will definitely sell well in the United States...... No, the whole world! I would like to congratulate Mr. Yuan first. ”

"That's right, that's right." Nomura Kichizaburo nodded and said, "Mr. Yuan, this movie maybe...... Well, it can certainly influence American politics as you say. Please hurry up and shoot it. ”

"Please!" The two neon gold stood up together and bowed.

When we met the Japanese with a lot of etiquette, our Master Yuan had no choice but to hurriedly stand up and say, "Two, sit down, sit down, sit down." ”

After they sat down, he sighed and said, "I and the two 'sea country boys' of the Great Japanese Empire hit it off at first sight, so I don't go around in circles and talk nonsense." I'm really happy with this script, and I'm sure it will be a very high box office, but ......"

He spread his hands and said, "But because of this, I can't shoot now." ”

Hearing such an inconsistent statement, the two neon gold were confused all of a sudden, and naturally asked, "Why?" ”

"No money!"

"No money?"

Yuan Yanqian explained very "sincerely": "The two of you don't know anything. In order to ensure the quality of this film, I invited the first person in the film industry today, David Griffith, to director. You've seen his movies......"

These two neon gold have really watched the film of the movie master, and they both nodded.

"If you've seen his films, you'll know that he's a very aspiring artist. He gave me a budget for the quality of the film, and the production cost of "The Orphan Girl of Famine" was as high as ......."

"Three million dollars!"

"Nani?! Three million dollars ......" was a real shock to the two naval officers. Both of their eyes were about to fall out.

Nomura Kichizaburo gasped and stammered, "Yuan, Yuan, Mr. Yuan, you, did you say something wrong?" It's not three million, it's three hundred thousand, right? ”

Three million dollars is 7.5 million yen, and the cost of the Japanese Navy's Kusatake-class destroyers is only 1.56 million yen. "Famine Orphan Girl" is equivalent to five destroyers in one film.

Of course, at this moment, of course, they would not have thought that the box office of this film would be as high as 30 million US dollars, which was just enough to build two Amagi-class battlecruisers.

"Well, that's how I reacted at the time." Master Yuan sighed deeply and said listlessly, "I checked with Mr. Griffith repeatedly at noon, but he insisted that either he didn't shoot or he would have to spend three million dollars. ”

Yamamoto fifty-six interjected and asked, "Mr. Yuan, can you change the director?" ”

When Yuan Yan heard this, she said angrily: "Mr. Yamamoto, this "Famine Orphan Girl" is my child's paper, how can I treat my child's paper badly? I don't feel at ease if I don't give this paper to Mr. Griffith. ”

"Hey, you don't know anything about us artists." Master Yuan waved his hand and said, "I wanted to give up at that time......

The two neon gold screamed in their hearts, they must not give up! They haven't discussed it yet, but they've already thought about it, so they can't afford to buy the script at a high price and find someone to shoot it.

I only heard Yuan Yan's tone change, and Kaisen said: "At that time, I heard you coming." Then I thought of an outstanding soldier of the Great Japanese Empire......"

With that, he began to pretend to order his cigar again.

Eight cents waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuan, may I ask which senior in the military world you have in mind?" ”

"Oh, I think of the hero behind the Russo-Japanese War, Genjiro Akashi! Your Excellency Akashi is a man who can reach ten divisions alone. ”

Well, those who know a little bit about modern history must also know this eccentric who is known as the "first hero of the Russo-Japanese War". Once he had a meeting with a friend of the county county, and when he was open, he sat down and peed, and the shoes of the county elders were wet.

During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as military attache in Russia and Germany on the orders of the General Staff Headquarters, specializing in intelligence work. Genjiro Akashi spent a lot of money on Comrade Lenin, so Lenin entrusted Trotsky with the money to finance his activities and carry out a series of subversive activities.

In addition to this, he fought almost alone, did a lot of intelligence work, and seriously hindered the military operations of the Russian army.

Master Yuan stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "Why do you want to look at the prince for fame, and your ambition is enough to stretch for thousands of miles." Success or failure is like ink every day, and the white sails are in a storm......"

"It's not well written, but it's ambitious." He sighed and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity that I, Yuan someone, can't see it." I don't know when there will be such a big hero among us yellow people who turns the tide and treats money like dung......"

This geek died of a cerebral hemorrhage and hiccups in 1919 at the age of fifty-five.

Hey, hey, hey, I've said it so obviously, you two military attachés in the United States won't understand what I mean, learn from your predecessors.

Mmmmmmmm
