[263] Film & Electronics

Tickets for the Frozen premiere and the opening ceremony of the Chinese Centre for the Performing Arts are not take-out, but in the form of complimentary tickets, which are presented by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States to the high society of New York and Huasheng #Don.

The rest hall of the Chinese Grand Theatre is richly decorated, with large crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, which are also transported from China, thousands of miles away, and the walls and roof are sprayed with milky white latex paint, and the simple lines are framed with gold paint, which is both fashionable and classical.

American high-society government officials and wealthy people flock to each other, smoking cigars in groups and holding crystal glasses full of champagne, talking as if attending a grand drinking party.

Charles Morgan, a young man with black hair, said: "I heard that this is a fantastic movie, as good as Alice in Wonderland released last Christmas. ”

A plump lady beside him said: "Yes, this is produced by China Disney Animation, I love to watch Disney animation, I have watched more than a dozen of them released in the past two years, these cartoons are really wonderful." ”

The noblewoman's husband's name is Barclay, a real estate developer and trader in New York, and he nodded: "These yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese are rising too fast now, they seem to have suddenly opened their minds after cutting their braids, and now they have become an important part of the civilized world." A few years ago we were still exporting fabrics and machines to them, and who would have thought that now the American market is full of Chinese-made goods. ”

The lady said to the man in the gown, who was silent, "Mr. Rockefeller, please also share your opinion, you know, we respect your opinion very much. ”

Rockefeller smiled politely: "China's movies are very good, but as a trading partner, I am more concerned about how much oil they plan to buy this year." ”

Charles Morgan, a black-haired youth, said: "I appreciate China's trade reciprocity policy, they are not just importing goods, they turn the money they earn in the United States into commodities and ship them back to China, as the Chinese say, this is called complementarity." ”

Rockefeller glanced at Charles Morgan meaningfully: "As a partner of Bank of China, Morgan Bank is responsible for operating RMB offshore settlement in the United States, you made a fortune last year, and I heard that your father gave each of the girls who broke up with you a Chinese-made QQ car." ”

Charles Morgan's face flushed, he bowed slightly, and said respectfully to Rockefeller: "Please stop joking, my father is very rich, but also very stingy, he just spent a lot of money to marry me a stepmother, but he is not willing to give Russia a penny loan." ”

Rockefeller said: "Your father is right, and I warned Stillman that First Citibank would not lend even a penny to Russia. ”

Charles Morgan said with some excitement: "In this way, the families in New England will have to smile, and First Boston Bank and the DuPont family will take all the benefits." ”

Rockefeller lowered his head, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he raised the champagne and took a sip, and said politely: "Then I wish them success in their investment." ”

At this time, Zhang Deyi, the ambassador of the People's Republic of China to the United States, walked up the stairs leading to the screening hall in the hall, he raised his glass slightly, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

On behalf of the People's Republic of China, I would like to thank all distinguished guests for coming.

As of the first quarter of this year, the total number of movie theaters in the United States has exceeded 3,000, and the huge profits have filled every investor with joy, which represents the common interests of China and the United States are constantly thriving.

China's overseas investment has always been unswervingly implemented by Chairman Yao's idea that TongguΓ² will continue to expand the volume of bilateral trade and tie us closely together with the bond of common interests.

We never eat alone. ”

This latter sentence caused a round of laughter and applause in the hall.

Ambassador Zhang Deyi smiled kindly and continued: "China has the greatest goodwill towards the United States, and we look forward to continuously strengthening the friendship between the two sides.

We have always believed that as the oldest country in the world and the youngest country in the world, China and the United States can provide an endless source of impetus for the world's development. We should join hands to maintain peace in every corner of the world, sow the seeds of freedom and democracy, and let free trade flourish throughout the world.

Just this year, in the face of Russia's brutal provocations, China decided to take military action to recover the territory that had belonged to China since ancient times and to invite Russia out of Asia.

So far, our military operations have been working well and we have achieved initial victories.

China has no interest in Europe's internal affairs and has no intention of expanding its influence into Europe.

But Asia, Asia, Asia, Asia! ”

When Ambassador Zhang Deyi said this, his voice repeated firmly and loudly, and finally said heavily: "It is China's Asia!" ”

Hearing this, a reporter immediately asked: "Ambassador Zhang, just this month, First Boston Bank joined forces with a group of bankers in the New England region to lend $100 million to Russia together with the Royal Bank of England. Will this hurt the good diplomatic relations between China and the United States? ”

Zhang Deyi nodded and said: "In this regard, on behalf of the government of the People's Republic of China, I have formally lodged a protest with President James Garfield of your country, and we believe that this move is contrary to the spirit of independence of the United States and the commitment of non-interference in each other's internal affairs reached by the two sides when establishing diplomatic relations. ”

A reporter asked: "A few days ago, President Garfield spoke in Congress, saying that the current economic depression in the United States is caused by the dumping of Chinese goods. ”

Zhang Deyi replied in a unified voice in accordance with the official document of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "I do not agree with President Garfield's point of view, China's goods enjoy a very high reputation all over the world, are of high quality and low price, and have extremely high scientific and technological content, and many goods such as radios, cameras, radios, etc., are not produced by the United States at all. On the other hand, it also purchased a large number of goods produced in the United States from the United States, and created a large number of jobs for the United States, and both sides benefited from trade. At present, according to the analysis of the numbers I have obtained, the U.S. government's profit from tariffs is much higher than the profit from Chinese sales of goods. For example, the domestic price of the Chinese Seagull camera is the same as the export price, which is about 300 US dollars, but the current tariff in the United States is as high as 45%, which is much more than the Chinese manufacturer as far as I know!

So I think on the contrary, instead of affecting the U.S. economy, Chinese exports are the increasing volume of trade between China and the United States that has alleviated the current depression in the United States. ”

The reporter asked: "So what do you think the United States needs to do to get out of the depression?" ”

Zhang Deyi said firmly: "We firmly believe that the direction of the world economy is global integration, and all countries should establish different systems of division of labor to improve people's living standards through complementary trade, and the United States should first reduce tariffs if it wants to get out of the economic depression, so as to reduce the people's cost of living." Only by lowering the cost of living for the people will the running costs of the US economy be reduced and the competitiveness of US goods will be enhanced. ”

Most of the guests in the hall were capitalists who had common interests with China, and when they heard Zhang Deyi's words, they immediately burst into applause.

Finally, Ambassador Zhang Deyi smiled and said, "I'm sorry for taking up everyone's entertainment time, but now please come in and watch a movie." ”

The screening of "Frozen" caused a sensation in the United States, and people in the economic depression regarded watching movies as the greatest entertainment to relieve their worries, and only when watching movies could they feel that they had escaped the troubles of reality and were soothed spiritually.

Relying on the import of printing equipment and high-grade inks from China, Huasheng #Don Post, which quickly occupied the market in the eastern part of the United States, is known for its excellent printing, and after the premiere of Frozen, the front page of the newspaper was printed with a large headline - "Classical and Modern - The Fusion of Art", and the article was full of enthusiasm:

"This is another treasure that Chinese animation artists have dedicated to the world, and the product line of China's Disney Animation Company has the speed of a bullet, since the New World theater line landed in the United States, this company has dedicated 29 animated films to us, almost one a month, and the production speed is amazing.

I was honored to receive an invitation from Ambassador Zhang Deyi of the Chinese Embassy to watch the film at the most advanced cinema in the world, the Chinese Theatre in New York, which opened last night.

Just when I thought that this movie was another wonderful story of a princess and prince who could make my children happy for a whole month, when I entered the theater, I was deeply shocked from the opening second.

What kind of epic movie is this, from the beginning to the end, the whole film has been flying at the highest peak of aesthetic art, and it has never come down.

Dance, opera, music, painting, all of them represent the highest achievements in the art of cinema, every song is popular, beautiful, and every scene is like the most exquisite oil painting. ”

The article concludes: "...... Whether you have children in your home or not, this is a film not to be missed, not so much an animation shot for children as a fairy tale made for adults. ”

Not only the Washington #DunPost, but newspapers around the world are paying attention to this new film, which has become the most concerned topic and art of mankind overnight due to the emergence of China, and every newspaper has a column discussing the films screened every week.

With the film's popularity, Chinese-made cassette radios began to be marketed around the world, and although they sold for as much as $300, they were still sold out by high society. In order to expand its influence and continue to increase its attention, China has adopted a thirsty marketing method, and traders from various countries can only get a small part of the quota every day, which has forced the aristocracy and the rich to send their servants to wait overnight in coats at the door of large department stores that distribute Chinese goods, just to get these electronic products in advance enough to show off in the circle.
