Chapter 136: Putting on a movie

After Sun Hao went to comfort his two wives, Chief of Staff Shen Jun did not rest, and after the banquet, Shen Jun instructed the Propaganda Department to go to the square outside Cannes to play a movie propaganda film.

As the chief of the general staff of the Huaxia State, Shen Jun knew the importance of the propaganda machine. For the backward city of Cannes, there is no television, there is no Internet, and movies are a good tool for publicity.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the square outside Cannes was already crowded. In this era, there are not many entertainment projects, and there are no good entertainment subjects except for some operas. And the movie is definitely a novelty for these Chinese living in Nanyang.

Dongfang Hong, Li Biao, Yang Dingtian and others are here, although several people know that the movie is a thing invented by Westerners, but they haven't seen it either. I learned that there was a movie to watch in the square tonight, so I also came to join in the fun.

Maybe some businessmen who travel far and wide have heard of movies, but few have actually seen movies.

During the day, under the vigorous propaganda of the Huaxia Army, many Chinese who joined in the fun and watched the new things came to the square early, and under the arrangement of the Huaxia soldiers, they set up their own stools and strive to see the new gadget of the movie.

There was a lot of commotion in the square, and the staff playing the movie were busy debugging the equipment.

In fact, they are not debugging a real movie player, but just a projector with a higher lumen and a larger movie screen.

Once the equipment is commissioned, the staff starts playing.

The first thing to play was the military propaganda film of Huaxia, and with the sound of a vigorous music, a huge warship appeared on the screen, and then the battleships fired together. The huge muzzles of the battleships were constantly shining with orange-red flames, which was very shocking.

The Chinese in the square basically hadn't seen the movie, and many of the people who heard the sound of the giant cannon roaring from the stereo, some Chinese didn't know what was going on, they were all startled, and even some rioted, but they were quickly pacified by the soldiers who maintained it.

Dongfang Hong, Li Biao, Yang Dingtian are people who go south and north after all, although they know about movies, but they all know that the movies of these eras have no sound at all, and they didn't expect that the movies of Huaxia Kingdom have sounds.

The huge scene, coupled with background music and sound effects, makes people very shocked in their senses, including Dongfang Hong, several well-informed people.

A few minutes later, the Navy's footage was followed by the Army.

The first thing that appeared in the army was the parade shot, with rows of neat soldiers ...... in neat steps.

"This is definitely a mighty army!" After Dongfang Hong saw the Chinese soldiers on the screen, he couldn't help but admire.

Li Biao was also very shocked, the neat steps and shocking footsteps were indeed very unusual.

After a few formations had finished, trucks drove over, and artillery pieces were dragging behind them.

After Yang Dingtian saw the huge truck, he was very shocked, such a truck is definitely the only one in this world. There are cars in the United States and Germany, but there are definitely no such huge trucks, and the trucks in Huaxia can still tow artillery.

With trucks, this proves that Huaxia's troops are more mobile and have a stronger reaction speed than any other army in the world. The simple truth is that you run and people go in a truck, and the fool knows who is faster.

After the military propaganda film of Huaxia Kingdom was played, all the Chinese present were shocked and admired, and everyone did not expect that Huaxia Kingdom would have such a strong military strength so far. What impressed everyone the most was the countless giant ship cannons of the navy, the huge trucks of the army, and countless artillery pieces.

This promotional video is not long, only 10 minutes, but it has a deep impression on all the Chinese present. Everyone knows that the military strength of Huaxia is very strong, but everyone did not expect that the military strength of Huaxia has become so strong.

Li Biao is also secretly glad that Sun Hao has become his son-in-law, with such a son-in-law, who will he be afraid of in the future? Even the powerful British Empire, France, Germany, and the Rakshasa Kingdom, as long as Sun Hao is given a little more time, these countries are definitely not Sun Hao's opponents.

Yang Dingtian was very happy when he learned that Sun Hao was willing to send troops to Davao, but then he thought that Sun Hao was not only fighting with the Dutch, but also going to fight against the United States, which was not weak, and he was very worried. After watching this promotional video, Yang Dingtian finally relieved himself of the worried heart that had been kept in his heart.

Sun Hao not only has a strong navy, but also a powerful army, although the number of the army is only a few hundred thousand, but they are all elite troops, and the country is definitely not Sun Hao's opponent.

After the military propaganda film was played, the staff continued to play the propaganda video of Restoration City.

The promotional video of Fuming City is not long, only about 20 minutes.

Whether it is Dongfang Hong, Li Biao and countless Chinese, when they see the wide streets, well-planned houses, flowery commercial streets, and countless factories and schools outside Fuming City, everyone who watches the movie has a beautiful hope. I hope to go to Restoration City to see it myself, and even want to live in Restoration City forever.

Dongfang Hong has not only been to Germany, but also to the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Kou and so on. I used to think that these countries were very developed, but after watching the promotional video of Huaxia, I felt that these countries could not be compared with Huaxia at all.

London's influence on Dongfang Hong is dirty, messy, and full of pungent smells. The same is true of several other countries, which are completely incomparable to the garden-like factories, streets, and residences of Huaxia Kingdom.

It seems that Sun Hao is not only not inferior to Western countries in terms of industry, but also far behind these countries in terms of civilian facilities.

Dongfang Hong kept rubbing his chin and beard, feeling that his defection to Sun Hao was a wise feat, and perhaps only a wise person like Sun Hao could lead the rise of the Chinese in Nanyang.

After the promotional video of Fuming City was played, it also brought great shock to all the Chinese present, but it was more of a yearning.

Then, the staff played the documentary "Down to the South Seas".

The opening of the film is countless scenes of miserable life in Nanyang, and the opening song is the famous "Passing Fan".

The tragic scenes are accompanied by the atmospheric and sad music of "Over the Times", coupled with the lyrics, which really makes these wanderers living in other places feel on their backs.

Go out, ten years.

Clothes, torn by the storm.

Mother, how old is it?

When will you return home?

I want to say, but I am speechless.

I miss, lest I miss.

Livelihood, seemingly hopeful.

Hope, has been lost for ten years.

Spend spring, summer, autumn, winter, summer and cold, and hope that tomorrow will be better than today.

endure hardships and hardships and loneliness, life and death are just reincarnation torment.

Ask my homeland, my hometown, my hometown, and my hometown, should I be unjust in my life?!

Ask the heavens and the earth, the king, the man, and the god, should my life be broken, should I start from scratch?

Joy and sorrow, impermanence, nirvana, prayer......

This film was redeemed through Li Gang, mainly to record and tell the tragic life of the Chinese in Nanyang back then.

In the last years of China's feudal dynasties, ordinary people who could not bear the war and the nobles of the former dynasties who had lost their power emigrated overseas. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of migration and refuge for Chinese immigrants. Therefore, this migration is historically called "going to the South Seas".

Its characteristics and meaning mainly refer to the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and for historical reasons, Nanyang is also called "Guofan" in Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan, which belongs to the Fujian and Guangdong dialects, and refers to making a living in the Nanyang area. During the historical period from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were constant wars in the country, and the people were struggling to make a living. In order to make a living, maintain family life, change the fate of individuals or families, and escape the war, the common people in Fujian and Guangdong went to Nanyang again and again, batch after batch to make a living.

According to incomplete statistics, from the war years of various dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the number of Chinese people who went to Nanyang was about 15 million to 18 million, and about 5 million people died in Nanyang. The main new force is the coastal provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.

Most of these Chinese did not go south to pan for gold on their own, but most of them were sold piglets by Western colonizers to Nanyang to engage in various physical activities. The prosperity of Nanyang is inseparable from the Chinese, but they get very little reward, and countless Chinese have died in Nanyang and will never return to their hometown.

There are many main reasons for going to Nanyang, mainly the following points.

First, in the historical period from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were constant wars in the country, and the people were struggling to make a living. In order to make a living, maintain family life, change the fate of individuals or families, and escape the war, the common people in Fujian and Guangdong went to Nanyang again and again, batch after batch to make a living.

Second, generally speaking, the last years of China's successive feudal dynasties were mostly accompanied by peasant uprisings, foreign invasions, and dynastic changes, and ordinary people who could not bear the war and the nobles of the former dynasties who lost their power emigrated overseas. Due to its geographical proximity, Southeast Asia has become a place of migration and refuge for Chinese immigrants.

Third, the South Seas under the colonial rule of Britain and the Netherlands are in the process of accelerated development, and the demand for labor is very large. For example, Sarawak, the largest state in the Federation of Malaysia, issued a special notice during the reign of King Bai Raji (meaning king) II: to give enough free land to the immigrants to plant, and the government to provide temporary housing to resettle the immigrants; free supply of rice and salt for one year; Provide transportation, establish a police station to protect the safety of the Chinese, and the Chinese can live in Sarawak permanently. Such a policy has a strong appeal to China's internally displaced and landless unemployed. It is at this time that many people come to the South Seas with their wives and children, or alone. But more often than not, it is the deception of these colonizers.

The Chinese Nanyang Road did not get wider and wider until the Ming and early Qing dynasties. Large-scale migration: 1. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, a group of Han Confucian scholars and thousands of military and political officials fled to Vietnam;

2. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Central Plains people moved to Indochina one after another;

3. In the late Tang Dynasty, when Huangchao attacked Guangzhou, the Cantonese people rushed to flee to Southeast Asia;

4. When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of relict ministers and remnants also fell here.

5. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of refugees, the peasant army scattered by the Qing soldiers, the remnants of the Ming army that failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who were unwilling to serve the Qing court, set off an upsurge of immigration to Southeast Asia.

After the beginning of the film, the film begins to introduce the reasons for the immigration of the past dynasties to Nanyang, as well as the approximate number of immigrants to East Asia and the reasons. 10 minutes later, the experience of the Chinese who were sold piglets from the West to Nanyang in the late Qing Dynasty was played.

The tragic scenes that appeared in the camera made all the Chinese who watched the movie angry, regardless of men, women and children, all of them clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

Looking, watching, some old people who had experienced those tragic experiences back then couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lao Wang was one of the piglets who were sold to Nanyang that year, and the experience of working day and night in a tin mine was unforgettable for the rest of his life. Lao Wang was a total of three brothers who were sold piglets to Nanyang together, the eldest brother and the second brother were exhausted to death, Lao Wang was a little smarter, and later found an opportunity to escape.

After seeing these tragic scenes, Lao Wang felt sad and angry, and after a while, Lao Wang calmed down, and then said to the three sons beside him: "The three of you are looking for Commander-in-Chief Sun to join the army tomorrow, and you must drive these damn foreign devils out!" ”

Lao Wang is not the only one who has such a decision, countless young adults want to join the army and follow Sun Hao to fight foreign devils after seeing the scenes in the movie.

Although Dongfang Hong has not been pigged, he has lived in Nanyang for many years, so he doesn't know these things? When he saw the compatriots who emigrated from the war, Dongfang Hong had already burst into tears and whimpered.

Later, Dongfang Hong made a decision, even if he scattered all his family property, he would support Sun Hao to drive these foreign devils away.

The documentary "Down to the South Seas" was broadcast for two hours, and after the broadcast, many old people couldn't help but whimper.

Then, the staff played the movie "Old Summer Palace". This movie was shot by the famous national director Liu Yimou, with an investment of more than 1 billion, both in terms of shooting techniques and special effects, it has reached the largest number of Chinese films, and the box office has reached billions.

This movie mainly tells the scene of the eight-nation alliance burning the Old Summer Palace and the record of killing countless Chinese.

After the movie "Old Summer Palace" was played, the scene was chaotic for a while, whether it was the old man or the young man, they all clenched their fists, looking like they were desperate to find those foreigners.

Finally, the broadcast was Sun Hao's speech.

After the broadcast, I saw Sun Hao walking to the head of Restoration City.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Hao, and my ancestor is Sun Chuanting, Sun Dudu............ Compatriots who were bullied by foreigners in the past, tomorrow hand over their experience to the General's Mansion, and this commander will give you justice. Finally, what this commander wants to say to you is that as long as you are my compatriot, no matter where you are, Huaxia Kingdom will always be your strong backing. ”

After Yang Dingtian heard Sun Hao's last words, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, two words "domineering".
