Qingdao Prince William Theater, built by the Germans themselves, is located in the most prosperous area of Prince William Street, which is not only a landmark building in Qingdao, but also the center of the spiritual life of the Germans, symbolizing a certain psychological state after the defeat of Germany.

Riefenstahl led a troupe to perform here, which also made the depressed Germans living in Qingdao very interested, so it was difficult to find a ticket, and Luoyang paper was expensive.

Yang Chao still got the tickets through Riefenstahl, the tickets for the luxury private rooms.

Riefenstahl's dancing posture is still so graceful, Yang Chao still can't appreciate this art, and even has his own special resistance to it, he heard that ballet dancers' toes are a little deformed, thinking that this is the same as the Chinese's small feet, for a certain aesthetic deformity is really worth the loss.

China has banned the custom of tying small feet, which is different from cutting braids, and adopts coercive measures, once a family member is found to bind his feet, officials will be directly dismissed, and civilians will be fined immediately. But there are still people who quietly bind their feet, and it is not so easy to change customs.

So Yang Chao struggled through the boring time, and then walked backstage with applause.

"It's wonderful, your supplies are still so wonderful."

Riefenstahl was removing his makeup and smiled: "Wait a minute. ”

Yang Chao sat honestly on the side.

It was only after Riefenstahl had finished removing her makeup, changed her clothes in the dressing room, and turned into a modern girl in fur that they walked out together.

"Let's go for a late-night snack. I invite you to taste the authentic taste of China. ”

Yang Chao suggested.

"Thank you very much."

Drive away from the German ghetto and head straight to the industrial area of the West End, where there are large and small Chinese restaurants, and it is not too late at night, and many factories are working overtime, so many restaurants are open all night.

In a Shandong restaurant opened by a chef in Fushan County, I ate Shandong snacks such as Texas roast chicken, and Riefenstahl, as a German, still has a very good appetite for this kind of food, but the corners of the mouth with a modern girl are not very elegant.

After paying the boss, he walked out of the hotel in the boss's stunned eyes, obviously the boss had already recognized Yang Chao, and it was too difficult not to recognize it, because dozens of plainclothes guards were with him, and there were beautiful German girls with him, it was difficult not to notice.

Then drive Riefenstahl back to the German ghetto, where he had a cup of coffee in a café before taking him to the Prince William Hotel.

Yang Chao did not enter Riefenstahl's room, although she invited Yang Chao to go up for a drink, Yang Chao still declined, it can be seen that this woman is still a little regretful, it seems that she is ready to have something intimate with Yang Chao.

"I didn't have time to say sorry to you yesterday, I was negligent about your coming to China, although you may not need it, but I still hope to provide a fund, which is the carriage and horse fee for inviting you to perform in China, I hope you don't refuse."

The next day, Yang Chaocai officially invited Riefenstahl to visit Qingdao and officially expressed his apology.

Riefenstahl laughed: "Didn't you apologize yesterday?" ”

"Yesterday?"

"I thought you would apologize for inviting me to eat chicken."

Yang Chao smiled.

The two visited museums, art galleries, universities and Laoshan in Qingdao, and Riefenstahl had mixed feelings.

I sighed many times: "Qingdao is probably the most comfortable place in the world for Germans to live." ”

The Germans in Qingdao are indeed more stable than the Germans in Germany, both in terms of living standards and social order, and as a German with a strong sense of nation, Riefenstahl is very sad.

Yang Chao said against his will: "The Chinese people are a very warm people and are very friendly to other ethnic groups. I don't know if you are interested in making a documentary about the situation here in Qingdao to show the German people, so that they can feel the friendship of the Chinese people, I believe that the German people will not feel lonely, they have the right to know that they still have friends in this world. ”

Inducing Riefenstahl to make films, this is what Yang Chao has always wanted to do, let her make movies than let her continue to dance to contribute more to the world, the most important thing is that the documentary hand of a German genius director can better express China's internationalism, and compare it with the Chinese exclusion of Americans, which will add a lot of points to China's international image.

As for whether the Germans will increase the number of immigrants to China, this is not in Yang Chao's consideration, that is Qingdao City's own consideration, and the Dawes plan is about to show its power, the German economy will soon be stable, and in just a few years again surpass Britain and France to become the first economic power in Europe, as long as the economy is stable, the Germans are not so cheap, like to live in a foreign country.

"Making a movie?"

Riefenstahl was very curious, she had nothing to do with filmmaking, and she was very new to the industry.

"If you are willing to stay in Qingdao to shoot a documentary, I can give you some help, and you can find a mature team in Shanghai. But I need you to take a German view of the totality. I hope you will accept that I believe that a person with a talent for the art of ballet must have a better understanding of other arts. ”

Although it was a bit far-fetched, perhaps a little curious about the film, maybe some interest in the German community in Qingdao, Riefenstahl agreed.

Soon a technical team from Shanghai arrived in Qingdao, and Riefenstahl began to act with Riefenstahl, and as soon as Riefenstahl came into contact with the Chinese in the Shanghai film industry, she immediately found that she had an extraordinary talent for shooting technology, and her learning ability was very amazing, which made Chinese technicians a little shocked.

From March to April, Riefenstahl cooperated with the Shanghai Film Company's camera team to descend from a height of 10,000 meters to shoot the whole of Shandong.

At this time, the German economy was still not improving, and the newspapers in Qingdao were overwhelmingly promoting Germany's economic and social problems, but everyone was very pessimistic and saw no hope at all.

In fact, the Dawes plan has begun, and in April, Dawes made public his plan, marking the start of the Dawes plan, but this plan, like many plans formulated by the Americans in the past, has not yet been agreed by France and other continental European countries, so even the Germans are not very interested, and there is a feeling that there are many wolves shouting, but ignoring the real wolves.

Not only were they not interested in the new plans of the Americans, but even for most of the past six months, the Germans had lived worse than they had in the past.

Under his auspices, the White Wizard Schacht officially established the German Real Estate Mortgage Bank in October last year and issued real estate mortgage marks, the currency value is the same as the old mark before the war, and the ratio with the US dollar is still maintained at 4.3 to 1, according to this ratio, the exchange rate between the real estate mortgage mark and the old mark is 1 to 1 trillion yuan.

At the same time, the new government actively cooperated with Britain and the United States, vigorously supported Schacht, and used the president's emergency power to take strong measures to stabilize the economy, and began to tighten finances, cut government workers, increase taxes, and abolish the eight-hour work day to meet the demands of industrial groups.

However, the government's exchange ratio once again deprived the middle class of its assets, and successive decrees were only in the interests of the industrial groups, and did not protect the middle class at all, and there was almost no middle class in Germany, only a small number of industrial oligarchy and the vast majority of the poor.

"The educated and accomplished middle class has always been the backbone of the country's traditions, but the price of their complete self-sacrifice for the country in wartime has been the dispossession of all property and the proletarians. Do you think that's fair? ”

Riefenstahl was critical of this newspaper, and it was clear that she had little confidence in the plans of the Americans.

"It's not fair, of course it's not fair!"

Yang Chao conformed to her way.

Yang Chao came to visit the class while Riefenstahl was filming a movie.

"What do you think is wrong with Germany and where is the future of Germany?"

Riefenstahl let out a long sigh.

"Germany's problem lies in its own confidence, and Germany has lost its tradition of power without establishing a new model of power. Germany's future is bright, as long as you don't take a fork in the road. ”

Yang Chao said in a general and vague manner, with a strong prophetic flavor in his tone.

"Yes, we Germany have lost our protégé, so any country can bully Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poles can bully Germans."

Riefenstahl smiled bitterly, and then took a sip of red wine, as a German, she rarely likes beer, and prefers red wine, especially French red wine, obviously she was born in the German rich middle class, very petty bourgeoisie, but the situation in Germany happened to hit the middle class, which made her heart full of loss and confusion.

"Li Fen, I can call you that."

Riefenstahl, who was already half-drunk, nodded, she was in a very bad mood today, the film did not make the effect she wanted, and a few friends wrote from Germany saying that they were bankrupt, which made her even more sad.

"Believe me, Germany will get better. Although the Dawes Plan hosted by Britain and the United States was to ensure the interests of Britain and the United States, a stable Germany was in their interests. It's just that you will inevitably be controlled by some Britain and the United States, and once Britain and the United States themselves are living well, you can still get rid of it, and the only thing you need to worry about is that Britain and the United States have problems themselves, and Germany can only become a scapegoat at that time. ”

Yang Chao continued to comfort her.

Riefenstahl smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yang, I know you are lying, because you are not involved in this Dawes plan, and obviously you are not optimistic about this plan. ”

Yang Chao shook his head and said: "The reason why my country and I did not participate is that the British did not allow us to participate, you must know that there is an agreement between us and the United Kingdom, and only with the consent of the United Kingdom can we participate in European affairs." It was clear, however, that Britain would not allow us to strengthen our influence in Germany. ”

"This group of Anglo-Saxon bandit states!"

Riefenstahl hated, apparently not very well perceived Anglo-American. (To be continued.) )
