Compared with the difficult choice of ordinary audiences, those celebrities are more distressed.

Ordinary viewers can choose one of the movies according to the publicity in the newspaper, personal likes and dislikes, etc., anyway, they are all about the same thing, just watch it once.

The movies produced by Star Film Company have always had a good reputation, but Zhang Shichuan is also very famous in the Shanghai film circle.

Moreover, Huaying works very hard in publicity, using real warships as gimmicks.

The Carlton Theater even held a raffle to attract spectators, and the winners could take a day trip to a Japanese warship.

While promoting itself, Huaying did not forget to attack its opponents, and criticized the star film company for being shoddy, shot in the swimming pool, and using prop models.

Lin Zixuan, who came from later generations, was naturally not frightened by this formation.

Later film companies can be said to do everything for publicity, and they can come up with any tricks.

Lin Zixuan advertised in the newspaper, as long as the audience who came to see "Jiawu Fengyun" would send the signed posters of the leading actors, and also had the opportunity to get in close contact with the leading actors and take a group photo.

He also attacked "Sino-Japanese War" as a Japanese film, Zhang Shichuan as a puppet of the Japanese, and called on Chinese not to watch Japanese movies.

At this time, although there was such a term as "traitor", it had not yet been popularized, and the meaning was relatively vague.

The propaganda war between the two sides is full of gunpowder, making it difficult for ordinary viewers to choose.

For celebrities, it's a time to take sides.

Two movies are shown at the same time, and which one you watch shows that you are inclined to one side or the other, and there is no way to cheat.

Faced with the invitation of Star Film Company and China Film Company. Some people simply pretended to be sick and did not go either way.

Lin Zixuan's influence in Shanghai is very large. The Japanese also travel extensively, and the two sides fight for connections and heritage.

Lin Zixuan specially asked people to take note of the celebrities in Shanghai who went to the Carlton Theater to cheer for the Japanese. This is not for the sake of settling accounts after the autumn, but to let yourself be careful of these people in the future and not associate with them.

Through this film screening, we can see the political leanings of many people.

On December 31, at seven o'clock in the evening, "Jiawu Fengyun" premiered on time.

Because there was a test screening, media reporters wrote reports and film reviews in newspapers, and there were a lot of spoilers, and the audience was mentally prepared, even so. Lin Zixuan is still strictly forbidden for minors under the age of 16 to enter.

Under the Film Association's censorship system, he classified the film as a no-watch for minors.

Many people in the film industry think it's too strict, isn't it just a war movie, what can't be watched.

Lin Zixuan can't say that there are clips of the Lushun Massacre in the movie, which will bring harm to children.

The film began to be screened.

The first half of "Jiawu Fengyun" revolves around Deng Shichang, focusing on his growth, study, and tenure.

In the process, the origin and development of the Qing Dynasty navy were introduced.

Next, the attitudes of the top leaders of the Qing Dynasty and Japan towards the war are compared.

One is the old empire that has returned to the light, the other is a modern country that is about to burst out, one is timid, and the other is warlike.

Cixi was squandering. While the officials of the Qing government were filling their pockets, the Japanese emperor was giving passionate speeches to his subjects.

Through the Meiji Restoration, Japan broke away from Asia and joined Europe, and began to embark on the road of capitalism. The country's strength is growing stronger day by day.

In 1888, Japan's Industrial Revolution reached its climax, and it was in urgent need of exporting goods and capital to the outside world.

But Japan as an island nation. The country itself was short of resources and a small market, so the Japanese ruling circles headed by the emperor were eager to find a way out of foreign expansion.

Thereupon. The Japanese General Staff Headquarters formulated the "Qing State Conquest Strategy," which was Japan's earliest operational plan for invading China.

in the movie. Japan's Meiji Emperor told his ministers about Japan's plan to invade China.

In order for Japan to survive and become more prosperous and powerful, it is necessary to invade China and even the whole of Asia.

The emperor's speech was filmed by Hong Shen in Guangzhou, and the Japanese emperor and others were all played by students from the Fudan University Drama Club.

The student who played the role of Emperor Meiji may have participated in demonstrations and street speeches before, and his impassioned speech was very powerful.

At this time, there was an uproar in the audience, which was a protest by Japanese ronin.

Although the Japanese participated in the preview screening, they were not at ease with Lin Zixuan, so they sent Japanese ronin to attend the premiere and make a fuss in the middle of the movie screening, affecting the audience's mood.

Most of the Japanese ronins are poor samurai or ruffians who can't get along in Japan.

They came to China with merchant ships to do some smuggling transactions for the Japanese in China, or to fight and kill.

The Japanese ronin was very surprised when he saw the emperor's speech, especially when he heard the content of the speech.

Even if the Chinese actor who played the emperor spoke Chinese, he could still feel Japan's ambition to invade China.

Lin Zixuan arranged personnel in the theater, stared at the Japanese ronin, and stepped forward to stop them as soon as he saw that they wanted to make trouble.

These people were Feng Jingyao's subordinates, who mixed up in the French Concession, and they were more ruthless, dragging the troublesome Japanese ronin out of the theater.

The film continues to be screened, the Sino-Japanese naval battle is about to start, and the fuse of the war has finally come.

In 1894, the Donghak uprising broke out in Korea, and the Korean government army was defeated and forced to beg for help from the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking that the time had come to start a war, Japan induced the Qing Dynasty to send troops to Korea, which led to the exchange of troops between China and Japan in Korea.

In the theater, when they saw the Beiyang warships being sunk by Japanese warships, the audience was extremely indignant and depressed.

These sunken warships are all prop models, but they are made more realistically.

In the melee, the "Zhiyuan" ship, which had been rushing to the front, was bombarded by Japanese warships such as "Yoshino" and "Takachiho", and was injured in many places and tilted its hull.

At the critical moment, Deng Shichang said angrily: "If the Japanese ship is dedicated to Yoshino, and the ship is sunk, then our army can gather things." ”

So, he ordered the ship to crash into the Yoshino, intending to die together.

Here are a few close-ups of the officers and men on the ship, and each of them is looking straight ahead, fearless, with a heart of death.

When the audience saw the scene of the officers and men on the Zhiyuan ship fighting to the death, they were enthusiastic and applauded.

That's the movie.

In reality, Deng Shichang may not have ordered the ramming of a Japanese warship, and perhaps there are officers and soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but in a movie that promotes patriotism, they must do so.

As long as the audience is infected by patriotism, the film is considered a success.

With the sinking of the Zhiyuan ship and the sacrifice of Deng Shichang, the Beiyang Navy was almost completely annihilated, and mournful music sounded.

The audience is immersed in an atmosphere of sadness, waiting for the final ending of the film.

However, the picture turned and came to the city of Arthur.

In the black-and-white film, a touch of red appears, and a little girl in a red dress walks through the crowd.

Although it was a lively bazaar, with people coming and going, it gave people an eerie feeling, as if something bad was about to happen, and the little girl was more like a ghost or ghost

It attracted the attention of the audience in an instant. (To be continued.) )
