Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the attitude of Americans towards Chinese in this era.

The United States, which was extremely powerful in later generations, was still bullied by the British before World War I. Britain, on the other hand, was the victor of World War I, and received a lot of benefits from Germany. Therefore, the loss of strength after the First World War was not large. Until World War II, Americans were still faintly oppressed by the British. A lot of the pace is to follow the British.

Therefore, when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, the Americans could also follow the British to grab something and get Gengzi indemnity. However, the Americans were not reconciled to being suppressed by the British. Although these two families are not clear from the root, breaking bones and connecting tendons, the relationship between countries is always vertical and horizontal.

Therefore, in 1907, when the three northeastern provinces became strategic points of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing government needed to use the strength of the United States and Germany to resist the plundering of Japan, Russia, Britain, and France in the northeast, the Americans readily agreed.

At the same time, as a result of the 1905 boycott of American goods, American diplomats and academics issued warnings to the president. China is a huge market, but because the number of Chinese students studying in the United States is too small, even far less than that of Belgium, a small European country, the United States will lose its influence in the spiritual realm for an entire generation of Chinese.

University of Illinois President James once said, "Whoever succeeds in educating this generation of Chinese youth will reap the greatest rewards in both spiritual and business terms." If the United States had succeeded in attracting and growing the flow of Chinese students thirty-five years ago, then we would have been able to control China's development in the most complete and ingenious way possible, which is to manipulate China's leaders intellectually and spiritually. ”

And "morality and spirit will be more powerful than the military flag to dominate the lasting commercial profits of the United States."

Therefore, the U.S. government finally agreed to partially refund the Gengzi indemnity. On May 25, 1908, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to refund the Gengzi indemnity to China and authorized the President to make full arrangements.

The Qing government also agreed to use the refund entirely for the school—i.e., the Chinese government sent 100 students to the United States each year for the first four years, and at least 50 Chinese students each year from the fifth year until the refund was exhausted.

On October 31, 1908, China and the United States jointly drafted the "Draft Regulations for the Dispatch of American Students," and reached a basic agreement on the qualifications, selection, majors, and management of students studying in the United States.

Tsinghua University's predecessor, Tsinghua Academy, was built with this refund from the U.S. government. In later generations, it became one of the highest universities in China.

Therefore, the attitude of Americans towards Chinese at this time is not only the discrimination brought about by the Chinese Exclusion Act, but also the cautious friendship that wants to lead the young generation of Chinese thought. Even Liu Zhanen, who protested directly against the U.S. government, was released under the joint protest of Chinese students.

By 1925, France, Japan, Britain, Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands had declared that they would return the balance of the indemnity and that they would enter into agreements to be used for the purpose of handling educational and cultural undertakings in China, or for the operating expenses of foreign banks and the issuance of domestic debt funds. Although, the fact of aggression against China by these countries cannot be erased. However, such a move is still conducive to easing international relations.

Therefore, when Chinese students organized anti-Japanese demonstrations in the United States at this time, the U.S. government did not stop them.

Such a march inevitably attracted the attention of Boston University's top brass. A professor at Boston University asked his students to learn that the Chinese who threw things into the sea were singing the theme songs of two Chinese movies.

The Boston University professor was very interested, so he accompanied his students to watch "Serving the Country with Loyalty" and "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" in the school's movie screening room. This is a shock!

If the skillful use of montage techniques in "Loyal to the Country" can only prove that this is a director with solid basic skills, then the fierce action fights in "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and the violent aesthetics in it are a concept that has never been seen before!

After watching "The Great Wall Never Falls", the professor can assert that this is a new type of movie that even Hollywood has never had! He named this type of film - Chinese Kung Fu Movie! And write an academic paper on this - "On the Chinese Kung Fu Movies on the Beach"! A detailed analysis of the new concepts and techniques used in the rest of his life in "The Great Wall Never Falls", as well as his incomprehensible Chinese kung fu!

At this time in Hollywood, the box office of song and dance films is like a river, and it can no longer arouse the interest of the audience. Hollywood giants, such as Warner Bros., have turned their attention to black gang movies. And, Warner Bros. quickly became Hollywood's most profitable and productive company with the hard-working performances of stars like James Cagney and Edward Robinson.

However, due to the existence of the 1930 Hays Code, many films in this genre passed censorship, and there were many shots that needed to be cut. This makes people who want to make money very annoyed, but there is nothing they can do.

The academic paper of a professor at Boston University has attracted the attention of many Hollywood companies and filmmakers. Warner Bros. was overjoyed. The movie "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" did not violate the content of "Hays Code", and its fighting action was far more exciting than the black gang movie! Moreover, bringing the mysterious Chinese kung fu to the screen in the eyes of Americans is a huge selling point in itself!

Moreover, the experimental theater at Boston University has proven that the film is acceptable and welcome to Americans!

Therefore, Albert Warner, one of the four Warner brothers, immediately rushed from the United States to Shanghai after discussing with the brothers about buying the overseas screening rights and copies of the film! And in order to avoid competition, except for the four Warner brothers, no one knows about this matter!

*************

On this day, when Yu Sheng was analyzing the information of the Huayang Yarn Factory sent by Li Wei overnight with Qing Xiaoyi, a child ran in and told Yu Sheng that there was a foreigner outside the villa who asked to see him.

"Foreigners? What is your name? Is it Catress? ”

"It's not Uncle Ka, I haven't seen it before. He said his name was plucking turnips, digging it! So said the child.

The rest of his life listened to the black lines on his head and went out to greet him. But when he saw a half-grown white old man dressed in fashion, he saw him come out and said enthusiastically in English: "Mr. Yu, hello! I'm Albert! Albert Warner! ”

The rest of his life was stunned. Qing Xiaoyi saw that Yu Sheng's expression was wrong, so she poked Yu Sheng and asked, "Who is this?" Do you know? ”

Yu Sheng laughed: "This is a banknote from Hollywood from thousands of miles away!" ”
