In order to prevent the screening of "The First Sino-Japanese Storm", in the following days, the Japanese used various means.

For example, let the Japanese ronin go to the theater to make trouble, launch a public opinion offensive, and even instruct the patrol of the public concession to seal the theater and so on.

At this time, the Japanese were not strong enough to let the soldiers on the Japanese warships enter the concession.

Correspondingly, after the hype of the newspapers, the news of the Lushun massacre spread.

The first to speak out were the students, who organized demonstrations led by Fudan University to demand an investigation into the truth about the Lushun massacre and to hold condolence activities for the victims.

This is not Lin Zixuan's arrangement.

The students of the Fudan University Drama Club participated in the film performance and were deeply moved, so the parade was held.

Lin Zixuan called on people from all walks of life in Shanghai to support the resumption of the investigation into the Lushun incident and restore the historical truth.

Many patriotic progressive groups have expressed their solidarity, creating a great momentum and forming a wave of public opinion.

On 4 January, he received an official letter from the U.S. Embassy and the French Concession authorities, demanding a ban on the screening of "The First Sino-Japanese Storm" in the Concession on the grounds that the circumstances of the Lushun massacre did not match the facts.

It seems that the Japanese and Westerners have reached an agreement in private.

Lin Zixuan didn't bother to argue, he was already prepared, and took out the abridged version of "Jiawu Fengyun" to continue the screening.

You said that the content is not good, I just delete it, absolutely cooperate.

But as long as the film continues to be shown in theaters, audiences will think of newspaper reports when they see "Jiawu Fengyun", and even if there is no plot of the Lushun Massacre in the movie, they will still think of it.

And. He'll add a caption to the credits.

Due to the strong protest of the Japanese side, the content of this film has been abridged. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. ”

See this passage. Even viewers who don't understand the cause and effect will be curious.

Why should the Japanese protest? What does the unabridged version look like?

It's like a banned book, sometimes, the more you can't see it, the more curious the audience will be, which can have a promotional effect.

The Japanese paid a great price, but they did not expect that they could not stop the spread of the news, and a tide of public opinion had already formed, and they could only confuse the public in the newspapers.

This time. They did not sue Lin Zixuan's film company.

This is different from "Tianjin Hero Huo Yuanjia", there is no real evidence that the Japanese doctor killed Huo Yuanjia, the Japanese are not worried about making any big trouble, this time they just want to calm down public opinion as soon as possible and suppress the matter.

If they sue Star Studios, it will inevitably cause an even bigger storm.

The Japanese side absolutely does not want to reopen the investigation into the Lushun massacre, they only want to cover up the truth and distort the facts.

The Western forces in the concession watched from the sidelines, and the government in the Chinese sector in Shanghai was too busy to take care of itself because of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

This has become a game between Lin Zixuan and the Japanese side.

Because of this. Lin Zixuan discovered that the Japanese had run a huge network of connections in Shanghai.

In just a few days, dozens of celebrities worked as lobbyists for the Japanese, covering all walks of life in Shanghai, not to mention other lesser-known figures.

These people don't necessarily tend to be Japanese. But the two either have interests or relationships.

These celebrities in Shanghai did not understand what Lin Zixuan was doing.

In their eyes, the Lushun Massacre is a thing of the past thirty years ago. It is the responsibility of the Qing government, and now it has long since changed the dynasty. What else do you do with these old accounts.

Do you want the Japanese to compensate?

Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, there is really no need to fall out with the Japanese because of the past events of 30 years ago. Not worth it at all.

Therefore, they thought that Lin Zixuan was sick, and he was messing with the Soviets and the Japanese, so he couldn't stop the meeting.

Do you really think that these two great powers will not dare to touch you?

Lin Zixuan was not so confident, although he was famous, it was not difficult for the Japanese to really want to assassinate him.

During the Republic of China, there were many celebrities who were assassinated.

In 1913, Song Jiaoren was suddenly shot at the ticket gate of Shanghai North Railway Station and subsequently died.

In 1931, Song Ziwen was assassinated at Shanghai North Railway Station, and his secretary was killed, but he narrowly escaped.

In 1934, Shi Liangcai, the general manager of "Declaration", was assassinated on the way back to Shanghai from Hangzhou.

These are all quite famous figures, and there are many similar cases, and in this chaotic era, no one is absolutely safe.

The reason why the Japanese side did not assassinate Lin Zixuan was that firstly, it was indeed concerned about his prestige in Shanghai, including his relations with all parties, and secondly, that Lin Zixuan had not touched the bottom line of the Japanese in the past.

Lin Zixuan did have anti-Japanese tendencies, but it had not yet caused a bad impact.

The Japanese side is more concerned about the figures in China's political and business circles, who are powerful in political circles and have capital in business circles, and those who have two terms of political and business terms are the forces that influence China.

Of course, cultural celebrities are also influential, but they can't have a real impact on the situation in China.

The so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for ten years.

It means that intellectuals in the cultural circles are dissatisfied with the status quo and have some resistance, but they are weak and timid, and vacillating.

To put it bluntly, cultural people will only play lip service and will not do practical things.

Therefore, the Japanese have always adopted an attitude of co-opting and buying celebrities in the Chinese cultural circles.

This time, Lin Zixuan's approach made the Japanese side feel uneasy, and they put Lin Zixuan on the blacklist.

The blacklist was made by Japan's intelligence agency in Shanghai based on the information gathered.

The people on the blacklist are all Chinese celebrities with anti-Japanese tendencies, and they are ranked according to the magnitude of the harm to Japan.

Lin Zixuan was temporarily ranked in the second half of the list, and since then he has entered the scope of key monitoring by Japanese intelligence agencies, but it has not yet reached the stage where the Japanese are desperate to assassinate.

Lin Zixuan didn't know anything about this, but he was not stupid, he understood that he had offended the Japanese this time, and he paid great attention to safety.

He plans to take advantage of this trend of public opinion to set up an investigation team for the Lushun massacre to collect more evidence.

Compared with the tide of public opinion set off by "Jiawu Fengyun" in Shanghai, Zhang Shichuan's "Sino-Japanese Naval War" is quite embarrassing, if the plot of "Jiawu Fengyun" is true, then Zhang Shichuan's movie is to overturn the case for the crimes of the Japanese.

Today, Shanghai citizens know that the backstage of the so-called China Film Joint Stock Company is Japanese.

Many patriotic students and citizens launched a protest against Huaying and "Sino-Japanese Naval Battle".

Zhang Shichuan fell into passivity, and he had two ways to go.

One is to break away from Huaying and make a living on his own, and the other is to continue to follow the Japanese, with Japanese funds, he doesn't believe that he can't make a good movie.

He was really unwilling to lose to Lin Zixuan like this.

In fact, Lin Zixuan no longer regards Zhang Shichuan as an opponent, he is watching a very interesting movie.

The content of the film is very simple, telling the story of a painter who is painting on his desk, and suddenly the ink in the inkwell turns into a small paper figure and jumps out, constantly causing trouble for the painter.

The painter had no way to paint, so he got up and caught the little paper figure, and finally caught the paper figure under the bed and stuffed it into an inkwell.

The film is called "Paper Man Troublemaker", and the reason why it is interesting is because it is the first animated film in China. (To be continued.) )
