Chapter 338: The Premiere IV
Chapter subtitle: I'm an Artist!
…………………………………
"Your Highness, a wise person like you must have figured it out, right? In this case, your country and you are both victims. ”
Our Master Yuan said with great interest: "If everything goes well, you should drink a little more...... That's a trip to Ireland. ”
Speaking of this, he said with a little regret: "It was also published in the newspaper that the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire had indeed died. Personally, I'm pretty sorry about that......"
Although the "Hibiscus Army" used reduced rubber bullets, this thing could still cause pneumothorax, fractures, and internal organ bleeding when shot at close range, and in the end, several unlucky British slivers and one unlucky Japanese died in the hospital.
After all, it's 1921.
"But ......," Yuan Yanqian secretly pointed to the Prince of Wales in front of him, "Speaking of which, isn't it all the fault of the British?" The whole world will only laugh at the British Empire, which cannot even be protected by its own crown prince and distinguished guests like you, but not the Japanese Empire, which is implicated. ”
"Since it is very likely that your country will be humiliated by the British once in the Anglo-Japanese alliance, isn't it that I am angry for your country in advance by doing so?"
"Arnold ......"
After all, His Royal Highness Prince Di Gong is only twenty years old now, and he traveled all the way to Britain for the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and was finally "humiliated" by the British, which is really infuriating to think about.
However, he hadn't been completely fooled by Yuan Yanqian, and asked, "Then what about Yuan Qing, what good do you have?" ”
"Is it good for me...... Master Yuan rubbed his fingers and said with a grin, "First of all, money." ”
"Nani? You're in it for the money! ”
"Your Highness, I have to say that your background is too good, so you don't know the value of money."
"Money is not everything, but no money is impossible."
Yuan Yanqian patiently explained, "Your Highness, I'll help you do the math. The cost of this incident only cost me 50,000 dollars, but I got 500,000 dollars from the Irish, and I made ten times as much money in this instant! ”
"Hmm......" Hirohito didn't know what to say.
When our Master Yuan saw Prince Di Gong who was staying there, he immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Since it is said that money is a matter, it must not be a disadvantage to you, or will you be a little bit?" ”
"Nani?"
Yuan Yanqian said very happily: "Your Highness, don't be embarrassed, I don't want to share your 50,000 US dollars." That's it! ”
It's called sharing the spoils together.
Hirohito didn't refuse, but asked with a smile: "Yuan Qing, are you just for money?" ”
Our Master Yuan danced and said, "Your Highness, of course not. I also put a big commercial for my film through this incident. Now the whole world knows this "Famine Orphan Girl"! ”
Prince Di Gong couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't this also for money?" ”
"No, no, no, how is this for money?" Yuan Yan waved his hand again and again, "Your Highness, this is for ART!" ”
"I'm an artist."
"I'm an artist who loves to create dramatic conflict."
"I'm an artist who likes to let people see the dramatic conflicts that I create."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally he asked the Prince of Di Gong proudly: "Your Highness, isn't this incident full of dramatic conflicts a work of art?" ”
"Mine, my movie, and this incident must go down in history. Maybe it's the most famous incident in the end. ”
"Although I can't sign this work, the artist cares not about his own reputation but about his own work!"
Seeing the energetic and nervous Master Yuan, Hirohito remembered that someone seemed to have told him that this Chinese was a ......
He couldn't help but blurt out: "This fruit is a wonder!"
Yuan Yanqian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha, thank you, Your Highness." It's the height of summer, but I'm not wearing a coat. ”
"Hahaha......" Hearing him say this, Hirohito couldn't help but laugh.
It turns out that they are talking about a Japanese historical allusion.
The nephew and adopted son of the eldest sister of the "Dragon of Echigo" Kenshin Uesugi and the first lord of the Uesugi Yonezawa Domain, Uesugi Keikatsu once met with Maeda Keiji in the summer, but Maeda Keiji wore a thick dress. So Uesugi Keikatsu said this.
In other words, this little Japanese eyelid is shallow, and they shout when they wear thick clothes in summer, no wonder Japanese young ladies don't like to wear clothes.
"Your Highness, when it comes to film art...... "Those who are curious can't always be curious, they have to get down to business, "Do you want to make a movie or something?" ”
"Making a movie?"
"yes, make a movie."
Our Master Yuan has always wanted to extend his claws to the Japanese people, and now he has finally seized an opportunity.
The question now is whether it is better to shoot "Rashomon", or "Chaos", or, you know, the young ladies who don't wear clothes...... This seems to be too much ahead of its time.
This is the sorrow of the traverser, who knows the right direction of historical development, but is bound by the limitations of the times.
It's a pity that His Royal Highness Prince Di Gong has not yet appreciated the charm of modern film art, so he hesitated and said: "Arnold......"
"Dr. Yuan!"
"Mr. Kennedy!"
At this moment, Mr. Valera, the Provisional President of Ireland, came running in a hurry, and shouted: "The British have contacted us!" ”
The British would not have been able to contact them.
It turned out that just as the Imperial Council was about to end, Hirohito's "uncle" King Minoru Higashikure came to Buckingham Palace.
Because of the relationship between close relatives, the relationship within the Japanese imperial family is quite complicated.
In fact, King Higashikure's father, Prince Asahita Kurenomiya, was the brother of Emperor Meiji, and he was Hirohito's cousin.
However, he married the daughter of Emperor Meiji and became Hirohito's uncle.
At the same time, he is also the uncle of Hirohito's wife, King Kuya Miya.
Later, his son married Hirohito's eldest daughter.
Therefore, it is really embarrassing for them to talk about this relative. I had to use an "uncle" to express it.
In the history of World War II, this monarch is also quite famous, his "uncle" Prince Zaihito of Kanin Palace, and three brothers, King Kunihiko of Nagakunomiya, King Morimasa of Rihongu, and King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, are listed as the five major generals of the imperial family. He was also the first prime minister after Japan's surrender.
It was he who accompanied Prince Di Gong to Europe, and it was he who introduced him to Hirohito. (Author's note: This is the case historically.) )
A few days ago, King Higashikure Minoru was in France, and after hearing the news, he naturally rushed to London immediately, and directly asked to meet George V.
Of course, he came to the King of England to ask for his cousin, nephew, niece-in-law, and future in-laws.
George V was also embarrassed and had to come forward again to urge the Lloyd's cabinet.
At this time, even if the British Prime Minister and his cabinet members wanted to delay, they could not drag it out, so they had to send a telegram directly to the Irish Provisional Government, promising to agree to all conditions.
In other words, "Famine Orphan Girl" will be released soon!!

Looking back now, it turns out that the second volume was written as a movie from beginning to end.
Fellow patients, do you think that the title of the second volume should be "How Movies Are Made"?
