Chapter 130: Such a Little Brother (1) The First Update
After the release of the "Attack on Pearl Harbor" documentary in the United States, the attendance rate was much higher than that of other films. Although the price of movie tickets was set very low for the rest of his life in order to ensure the publicity effect of the movie, after the Americans brushed the box office day and night, the final figure is still staggeringly high! Basically, it is equivalent to the box office of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and "Havoc in Heaven" in the United States combined!
And the rest of his life also achieved his own propaganda purpose. After watching the movie, Americans' bad feelings towards the Japanese increased. In California, on the east coast of the United States, many lawyers and doctors of Japanese descent or Japanese nationality who are in normal business have had their business licenses revoked for no reason.
Fishermen of Japanese descent and their fishing boats are barred from going to sea. America's reputable insurance companies can inexplicably cancel policies signed by people of Japanese descent, and no American will hold the insurance company accountable or think that the insurance company has gone too far.
On the bus, Japanese expatriates are also forbidden to sit, gas stations refuse to sell gasoline to Japanese expatriates, milk deliverers can completely ignore the orders of Japanese expatriates, if there is a queue, Japanese diaspora does not even have the qualifications to line up to the front of the queue, only when all the Americans have bought things, people can only come forward to buy, whether you can buy it depends on the mood of the salesperson. However, the salesperson usually doesn't have a good attitude towards the Japanese. Even public toilets do not accept these Japanese expatriates. The sign hanging on the window of the barber shop openly reads: "The Japanese devil comes to shave, and the shop is not responsible for any accidents." ”
Under such circumstances, President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States declared a decree that, under the laws of the United States, when the United States is at war with a foreign country, or when the President openly declares war on a foreign country, all foreign hostile governments and residents of the United States of the hostile country, and persons over the age of fourteen who were born in the hostile country and are not naturalized in the United States, may be regarded as "foreign enemies" for the purposes of national security, and the President authorizes the arrest or imprisonment, or deportation, or search for the United States or within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States. or forcibly relocated, or any measures taken in the interests of public safety.
This passage seems complicated, but its core meaning is very simple -- for the Japanese devils in the United States, Americans can do whatever they want!
However, the Americans' understanding of human rights is obviously stronger than that of the Japanese. In contrast to the Japanese policy of "killing, robbing, and burning" in the occupied areas of China, the Americans are much more civilized. The Americans set up concentration camps for these Japanese diaspora. Although he is despised and his personal property is not protected, he has no worries about his life.
On the other hand, he risked his life to shoot the documentary "Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor" for the rest of his life, and Yu Dacai's fame skyrocketed. For a while, there was no difference in the limelight. At this time, China and the United States can be regarded as allies, so most of the reports of celebrities among the allies in various American media are well-intentioned.
I don't know which American reporter has great powers and has exposed the old bottom of the rest of his life. From the rest of his life to practice martial arts in Nanjing since he was a child, to when the Japanese occupied Nanjing, his ex-wife Ye Qingyu died under the machine gun of the Japanese, and then to drift alone in the river for more than ten hours to reach Shanghai Tang. Starting from the metaphorical satire of the first film, all the way to works like "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" that directly resists Japan.
Almost every detail was reported clearly. Yu Sheng knew in his heart that this was a small revenge for the FBI after being annoyed by him. However, such reports will do more harm than harm for the rest of your life. The plot of American personal heroism is extremely strong, and in later generations, in Hollywood blockbusters, superheroes who save the world by themselves can also win many houses.
And the rest of his life, because his lover was killed, he was determined to fight the Japanese, and achieved fruitful results, completing the story of the counterattack. Clearly in line with the image of the hero in the hearts of Americans.
Moreover, this report also lists the various works of the rest of his life, and writes in great detail. From "Loyal to the Country" to "Shanghai Tang". At this time, the Americans woke up to the fact that this Chinese who helped them on the battlefield also had the identity of a musician and a filmmaker. And, according to the American GI who had a roast pig dinner and held a friendly boxing match in Hawaii with Yu Sheng, the Chinese kung fu for the rest of his life is also very good!
As a result, an idol-level character who is affectionate, righteous, civil and military, is freshly baked. What he did for the rest of his life was basically in line with American values. The various film works and music works created by Yu Life, after a series of authorizations, began to be sold in the United States. Although these works are not different from the aesthetic of Americans, they have won the love of many Americans with their qualities that transcend the characteristics of their works for decades beyond this era. A series of works that sold well. The rest of his life and Warner made a lot of money.
At this point, the rest of his life can be regarded as having a foothold in the United States.

All predetermined military objectives were achieved at a breakneck pace.
On December 24, 1941, the main force of the Japanese army landed at Inyain. On the same day, Japanese troops landed at Artimonan and then launched a centripetal attack on Manila.
