563 Great joy
With the popularity of "Champagne Chalon", the image of the Chinese in the hearts of Americans is gradually changing, and even the US Governor General in the Philippines, Douglas MacArthur, conveyed President Wilson's invitation to Qin Zhiyuan to visit the United States. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Obviously, Woodrow Wilson is not completely sure whether Qin Zhiyuan will accept the invitation, otherwise, Woodrow Wilson can directly make an invitation over the phone.
Invitations to visit such things are always a bit insincere to convey them through others.
However, that was not Qin Zhiyuan's reason for refusing the invitation, Qin Zhiyuan's reason for refusing was the "Chinese Exclusion Act", and when MacArthur proposed an invitation to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan refused bluntly, leaving no room for anything.
"Although I am the king of Lanfang, I am from a Chinese background after all, and if the United States does not repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, to be honest, it is unlikely that I will ever set foot on American soil in my life."
This passage was so resolute, but the reason was so sufficient, that MacArthur was speechless, and MacArthur had no choice but to give up.
What if you don't give up?
It's true that MacArthur is the emperor in the Philippines, but in Lanfang, MacArthur is nothing, if you go back to the time when the movie "Champagne Sallon" was filmed, MacArthur is even Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates, and he and the 84th Brigade of the US Army are subject to Qin Zhiyuan's control.
With such a background, it is not easy for MacArthur to straighten his waist in front of Qin Zhiyuan.
To be honest, even if there is no "Chinese Exclusion Act", Qin Zhiyuan's visit to the United States now is estimated to not have much results.
I still remember that when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Woodrow Wilson did not come to Lanfang to congratulate, and Secretary of State Robert Lanxin came to Lanfang instead of Woodrow Wilson because he suddenly fainted during an outdoor speech.
After Woodrow Johnson recovered, he briefly ruled the government, but two months ago, Woodrow Wilson suffered another severe stroke, leaving Woodrow Wilson completely paralyzed on the left side of his body and blind in his left eye.
Qin Zhiyuan expressed his concern and blessings to MacArthur for Woodrow Wilson, and that's all, Qin Zhiyuan did not intend to accommodate Woodrow Wilson in some things just because Woodrow Wilson looked miserable.
There is no human relationship between countries.
"Champagne Chalon" is just the beginning, followed by Lanfang Royal Pictures will also launch a series of films to promote the Foreign Legion in an all-round way, this plan is very huge, Qin Zhiyuan wants to use the form of movies to create a positive image for Lanfang, in this world full of intrigues, rampant authoritarianism, and hegemonic thinking to establish the concept of "fairness and justice".
If one day, Lan Fang can be equated with "fairness and justice", then Lan Fang will be tantamount to having the right to speak.
In another time and space, this work was actually done by Americans, so the ideas that Americans admired became "universal values."
In this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan wanted to finish this matter first.
In fact, it is really not so difficult to establish a national image, "a lie repeated a thousand times will become the truth", no matter how domineering Lan Fang actually is, how aggressive it is in fact, as long as Lan Fang's propaganda agency puts "fairness and justice" on its lips, then after a long time, no matter what people in other countries think, Lan Fang people will have a strong sense of belonging and pride in Lan Fang.
Regarding the reaction of people in other countries, to be honest, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care too much, Qin Zhiyuan just wants to be responsible for the people of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan has no obligation to people in other countries, only the people of Lanfang are the group that Qin Zhiyuan attaches the most importance to.
After the start of the release of Champagne Chalon, the current production is "Reims" and "Feron Tade Noy".
Unlike the pathos of Champagne Chalons, Reims and Feron Tagnoy as a whole focus more on victory and glory.
In the movie "Reims", there will be scenes of German soldiers facing the desperate resistance of the British and American coalition forces, and in the face of the Foreign Legion raising their hands to surrender, and even the scene where they were still fighting fiercely a moment ago, but when the main attacking unit was replaced by the Foreign Legion, the German defenders who were still determined a moment ago immediately collapsed and surrendered.
Compared with the tragic and death-defying scenes in "Champagne Chalon", these scenes are undoubtedly more dramatic and can better set off the strength of the Foreign Legion.
And in "Feron Tadnoy", William III - who was then the crown prince William will become the biggest easter egg in the whole movie, capturing the enemy crown prince on the battlefield, which is the most noteworthy feat during the entire world war.
And this feat was accomplished by the Foreign Legion.
In order to make the film more interesting, in the film "Feron Tadenoy", the two people interviewed at the beginning of the film are Qin Zhiyuan himself and William III himself.
In a movie, the two kings personally went into battle to wave their flags and shout, and the strong cast can be called a real "unprecedented and unprecedented".
In fact, with the production experience of "Champagne Chalon", the production team of Lanfang Royal Pictures is quite mature, so the progress of the two films "Reims" and "Feron Tade Noy" has improved significantly compared to "Champagne Chalon", and it is expected that they will be released after the year.
Of course, the "year" here refers to the Western calendar, not the traditional Chinese year.
Lan Fang is still using the Western calendar, not the traditional Chinese chronology, and this situation will only last until the end of 1919, when after the Chinese New Year, Lan Fang will implement the Yellow Emperor year to distinguish the Western calendar.
To be honest, about this Western calendar, that is, the Gregorian calendar, this calendar has not been prevalent in the world for a long time, only the last one or two hundred years, and if you want to talk about history, it is far from the traditional Chinese calendar.
However, if Lan Fang copied the Chinese calendar, it was actually not very appropriate, such as the "lunar calendar", which was actually not very suitable for Lan Fang.
Think about it, Lanfang is located in the tropics, although there are 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, but in Lanfang, if you also want to divide the 24 solar terms, I am afraid that there are only a few solar terms left such as "summer solstice", "small summer", "big heat", "summer heat" and so on.
Then the lunar calendar will exist in name only.
It doesn't matter if it exists in name only, as long as it can entrust the feelings of Lanfang people, the Chinese have never been conservative, if they blindly rest on their laurels, it is estimated that the Chinese civilization has also broken off the same inheritance as ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient Babylon.
The reason why Qin Zhiyuan sorted out this series of documentaries is to show how self-confidence, self-improvement, and hard work of the Lanfang people who have inherited the Chinese civilization.
Of course, it is undeniable that the success of "Champagne Salon" has also brought trouble to Qin Zhiyuan, and the most intuitive reaction is reflected in the harassment of Qin Zhiyuan by Ren Shizhen, general manager of Lanfang Royal Pictures.
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand, why don't you agree to make a documentary about you? It doesn't need to take up your time, you don't need to deliberately cooperate, you just need to sit there and say a few words, it can create a better publicity effect than "Champagne Chalon", and even Her Royal Highness has agreed to this project, why is such a good idea, you just don't agree? Ren Shizhen has a deep resentment.
Ren Shizhen is an early student in France, during his studies in France, Ren Shizhen was exposed to drama, and became a member of the school drama troupe, after the film appeared, Ren Shizhen showed a strong interest in the film, through the efforts of Ren Shizhen and his classmates, Ren Shizhen successfully put a stage play of their school drama troupe on the screen.
During the War of the Century, Ren Shizhen joined the Foreign Legion and became the royal photographer by Qin Zhiyuan's side, and his relationship with Qin Zhiyuan has always been very good, so he does not have much restraint in speaking.
"I really don't understand, when there is so much material, why do you have to talk about me? Isn't the Chen Kangjian I told you last time good? How wonderful was his affair with Mary? Isn't it worth bringing to the screen? And if that's not exciting enough, what about Cartier? Now on the docks of Thunder City, there is still a statue of Cartier, isn't Cartier's matter worth putting on the screen? Qin Zhiyuan was not polite at all.
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed too many people and things in the Foreign Legion that are worth putting on the screen, if you want to carefully sort it out, within ten years from now, Lanfang Royal Pictures will not have to worry about running out of material at all.
"Your Majesty, those stories are very good, I will put them all on the screen in the future. But there are priorities, people have priorities, propaganda work is also to have a focus, if there is no focus, then it will not achieve twice the result with half the effort, the resources in our hands are limited after all, and now we still need to concentrate on doing some things well, it is impossible to spread out comprehensively, so in order to save costs, and in order to better achieve the goal, we can only refine and process on the basis of existing materials, which is the most in line with the objective value law. Ren Shizhen has a heartbeat.
How to say it, there is enough information about Qin Zhiyuan filmed by Ren Shizhen alone, not to mention sorting out a movie, it is no problem to sort out a "top, middle, and bottom", of course Ren Shizhen tends to solve the problem fundamentally.
But for Qin Zhiyuan, this question is obviously a bit of putting the cart before the horse: "No matter who you shoot, you can't get around me, so only by taking other people's affairs as the core of the narrative can you maximize your benefits." ”
"No, taking other people's stories as the core of the narrative, not only can you not insert more elements, but it will be a partial plump and the main body will dry up, only with your story as the main line, can you add more people and things, that is the real benefit maximization." Ren Shizhen is stubborn.
"No matter what you say, I won't say yes." Qin Zhiyuan locked the door.
Mi Xia served coffee a little absent-mindedly, and the action in front of Qin Zhiyuan was a bit big.
"Mr. Auerbach has arrived......" Mischa reminded softly.
Well, Auerbach, that's another great success.
