The carriage slowly drove towards the Forbidden City, and in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is bustling with people on the streets, full of guests in the shops, and indescribably festive and lively. Although the suburbs of Beijing have experienced great wars, the people who were damaged by the war have all received compensation from the Koin War Foundation -- the compensation of 300 million yuan in the treaty is simply a pretext, and if you really calculate the losses of the Chinese and Korean people, the losses of the Chinese and South Korean people will be 40 million or 50 million yuan at most. This sounds like a lot of money, but half a railway is several times more than that. It is precisely because of this that the Japanese were extremely sincere in paying reparations, lenient in accounting, and quick in payment, so that the people who suffered losses due to the war made a small fortune. There is money and festivals, so the already lively capital is a little more lively.

Yang Rui had no reaction to the noise of the outside world, he had a quarrel with Zhang Taiyan just now, and his mood was very unhappy. He firmly believes that in private terms, Zhang Taiyan is right; And in terms of justice, he is right. No matter how Zhang Taiyan said it, he was a cleaner, who wanted to remove all the shackles on people's hearts and return people to nature; As an architect, he must use the strongest method to build people's hearts into a steel machine, in order to be strong. This is the most basic difference between two people, and there is no solution.

“…… Since the beginning of the previous year, the share of French cinema has been surpassed by American cinema. As of last year, the import value of American film, both unwashed and washed, exceeded $30 million, and there were already 414 large and small movie theaters in cities across the country, the largest of which was the Hongkou Grand Theater in Shanghai, which could seat more than 1,000 people, and countless smaller ones. Students believe that in order to compete with American films, they should build a film school to cultivate talents in all fields. Market management has to keep up......

Another important thing is that all the Chinese in American movies are now hateful. It's not a thief, it's mentally retarded. There is no half-good person, and his insult is cautious. The Ministry of Rites has repeatedly asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send a note to the US Minister. But it didn't work. The U.S. minister said that he could not control the domestic film companies, and that these movies were all made for Americans, and the Chinese never watched them, so this was not an insult. Those movie theaters are basically in the concession, where we have no jurisdiction, and the students think that we should support domestic film companies and make more films and make good films, so as to drive away American film ......"

Because he went to the Forbidden City at the same time, Wang Xiaolin took this opportunity to report some things that were not urgent but important. I didn't feel that Yang Rui was absent-minded at all, and as he spoke, he suddenly thought of something again, and said: "By the way, sir, the State Security Bureau secretly reported that the background of the Xinmin Film and Drama Company in Shanghai is a little complicated, and they suspect that this company has a connection with the Chinese Revolutionary Party......

The words of the Chinese Revolutionary Party finally brought Yang Rui back to his senses, and he said: "How can the revolutionary party open a film company, and burn so much money?" ”

But the NSA discovered that the company was ostensibly attached to the Americans' Asia theaters. In fact, Asia has been rented by Zhang Shichuan, a native of Ningbo, and Zheng Zhengqiu and Li Minwei in the company are all Cantonese. This Lai Man-wai was in Hong Kong earlier, and only arrived in Shanghai this year, when he was in Hong Kong. In order to raise funds for the Gang Alliance, he has planned many charity performances. Last year, these people had a script to film the Honghuagang Uprising the year before Shenwu, but the investment was too large. I had to give up, and in the end I only made some short films. Wang Xiaolin said.

Lai Minwei ....... Zheng Zhengqiu ......" Yang Rui thought of these two strange reputations, and he thought that he was only morally supporting the revolutionary party. But they want to make a movie about the Red Flower Gang Uprising, which is not ordinary sympathy.

Li Minwei and Zheng Zhengqiu, who were in a dark place in Shanghai, suddenly felt a chill on their bodies, but it was not because someone in Beijing was saying their names, but because they were shocked into a cold sweat by the first trailer released by the Film Bureau.

The Film Bureau of the Ministry of Rites is actually the film team of the former Revival Army, and this inexplicable institution made several short films against Russia seven years ago, and later made short films about the Yanzhou Revolutionary Army's fierce battle against the Manchurian New Army. Other movie tickets are sold for one dollar, and the theaters are also overcrowded. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the earlier film team became a film bureau directly under the Ministry of Rites, and also made a few good films, such as the Battle of Yangcun released at the beginning of this year, which attracted a wave of moviegoers, forcing slightly larger and more magnificent theaters in Shanghai to install sound equipment.

But such a king of the film market, not taking advantage of the victory of the Jiayin War to make a few war movies that they are good at, but made this costume movie, which is really incomprehensible. Today, it is the Ming Dynasty clan that sits on the throne, but this movie is called the Great Ming Tribulation, isn't this unlucky?

People in Shanghai who know about movies think that the name of this movie is too bad, but when it was brought down by the Film Bureau this month and the three-minute trailer film was hurriedly screened, everyone was stunned. No one looked at the so-called trailer from a professional point of view, and then judged it, they were completely immersed in the images and plots outlined in the trailer, and it was not until the three-minute film was over and the canvas was white that they came back to their senses from the shock.

"Do they really kill?" After being bored for a long time, the first person to speak was Zhang Shichuan, the boss of Xinmin Company, and after the collapse of the Americans, he rented the Asia Company. He felt incredible when he saw the blood shooting directly after the murder in the movie trailer. "It can't be a death row inmate?"

"Unlikely, it should have been made by a blood water bag." An apprentice in the film and drama department of the Commercial Press, Ren Peng Niandao. There are not too many people engaged in the film industry in Shanghai, and the Commercial Press, where he works, is also one of the largest companies in the industry. "I just don't know how those shells were made, the shells could explode in the Ming Dynasty, this is not right, I had to ask foreigners to buy them in the former Qing Dynasty."

"It turns out that the trailer is like this, it has whetted people's appetites, and the Film Bureau is really a good means." Zheng Zhengqiu, the chief director of Xinmin, laughed after watching it, although he was also shocked just now. "Gentlemen, Minwei, we can also take out the wonderful parts of the movie in the future and edit them into small segments like this for publicity."

Zheng Zhengqiu thought that the trailer was a good means of publicity, but Lai Minwei thought about the shooting skills and techniques inside, although he was not at the scene, he could imagine the position of the camera from the perspective of the camera. Every time he watched a film made by the Film Bureau, he felt that he had learned a lot, and this time it was even more so. And it's different from the previous movies. He could feel that the film was not made by those familiar directors of the film bureau, but by someone else. Its skill is so high that it is better than a qiē Western film. It's unbelievable.

When the door in the screening hall opened, the sun was already setting outside, and the whistle of the factory and the chimney in the distance pulled everyone back from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the present.

returned to the residence in a daze, but Li Minwei had just entered the house, but he heard his wife say that a guest was visiting, and when he entered, he saw that it was his old friend Liu Sifu.

"Brother Sifu!" Li Minwei was very surprised to see Liu Sifu coming, who was a revolutionary hero back then. But after a while, he thought of the reason why he came, and frowned at the moment and said: "Brother Sifu, this movie of Honghuagang righteousness, ...... in the company"

"No, it's not. Minwei, you misunderstood, I'm not here for the Honghuagang matter. But now that the stock market is in a recession, and the money of the Obscure Society has also lost a lot, your film company makes money quickly, can you let us invest some money in it. Wait for the movie to be made and divide some money. Liu Sifu was obsessed with assassination in his early years, so his face was injured and all five fingers of his left hand were destroyed, but now he organized an obscure student in Shanghai. Recruit students for work-study mutual aid, but although it is work-study, the price in Shanghai is extremely high. Those students often have to rely on the school club to help, so under Zhang Jingjiang's construction. The money in the society was invested in the stock market, but I didn't want to ......

Unexpectedly, Liu Sifu came to discuss investment. Li Minwei said at the moment: "It's no problem, but," he thought of the film bureau's Daming disaster again, the film will be released at the end of the year, once it is released, it will be empty, more sensational than the capture of the Japanese ship Birui, no one dares to make a new movie at this time. He had no choice but to say: "Brother Sifu, it may not work in a short time, the Beijing Film Bureau is going to release a new film again, and this time the film is extraordinary, I think the original plan in the company is likely to be changed to rewrite a new story." Well, if the story is settled, how about I come back to you? ”

"How long will that take?" Liu Sifu was very uneasy when he heard that he was going to suspend it, and then thought of the society that would not be able to open the pot in a few months.

"I don't know about this ......, it will take at least three months. Brother Sifu, if you want to save the emergency, you can't make a movie, now the movie is getting better and better, although Xinmin Company is a small business, only making short films, but it will take half a year from spending money to recovering the money, this has to be a blockbuster movie, a qiē shun lì, if it is like last year's two short films, if it is not a blockbuster, then it will be ......"

Li Minwei talked about the difficulty of making movies to make money, but Liu Sifu heard him say that it would take half a year to recover the money, and he immediately died of this heart, he got up to say goodbye and just went out, Li Minwei, who chased him out of it, stuffed a cloth jacket into his hand. Liu Sifu knew that it was a bag of silver dollars, and he wanted to refuse, but he was so reluctant that he had to carry it in his arms and go back.

Liu Sifu was a veteran member of the League, but after he joined the League, he gradually distanced himself from everyone, and finally he no longer agreed with Sun Wen's Three People's Doctrine and began to believe in anarchism. He declared that he advocated social revolution and Datongism, and wanted to build a society of equality, freedom, and harmony without borders, race, self, wealth, poverty, dignity, anarchy, law, or program. This kind of thinking was propagated by Wu Zhihui, who fled to France because of the Soviet Union's report, and the Tianyi Bao he ran mainly preached anarchism, and those newspapers were sent to China and influenced a large number of people, and Liu Sifu was one of them.

Before the revolution, the League also supported anarchist ideas, because the Russian nihilists advocated assassination, and assassination was the best weapon of the League, but after the revolution, China's national strength grew, and finally defeated Russia in a war, and then defeated Japan, the revolutionary urgency of the revolutionary youth was greatly reduced, and many people thought that the country would rise from this, and many of them applied for the civil service examination. However, Liu Sifu felt that the revolution was far from over, but he would not assassinate important government officials again. In his view, today's revolution is no longer a revolution of swords and guns, but a revolution of ideas, and this ideological revolution can only start from education, which is the original intention of the establishment of the Obscure Society.

Before Liu Sifu returned to the Society, the old revolutionary Wu Zhihui had been waiting under the oil lamp of the Society for a long time, listening to the sound of a stomach growling, Wu Zhihui suddenly thought of the ...... of the Patriotic Society twelve years ago, he glanced at Zhu Zhixin, who came with him, and said: "Since everyone is hungry, let's go out to eat something first." ”

Wu Zhihui said this, Mo Jipeng, Zheng Bi'an, Huang Juansheng, Hua Lin, Yuan Zhenying, Ou Shengbai, Huang Lingshuang and others got up happily, but Du Wen, an alternative female member of the society, said: "Let's wait for Comrade Sifu to come back and go together." If he hadn't eaten, he would have gone with us. ”

As soon as Du Wen mentioned Liu Sifu, everyone who stood up thought of the president who went out to raise funds. Immediately he sat down again, and waited until eight o'clock. Liu Sifu came back. Seeing that the person who came was Wu Zhihui, Liu Sifu greeted him and brought Wu Zhihui into the study. After taking a big sip of tea, Liu Sifu, who was out of breath, looked at Wu Zhihui and the others: "Mr. Jingheng and Brother Zhixin, are you two here for the last time?" ”

"What happened last time? What happened last time? Wu Zhihui snorted, with a smile on his face, "Sifu, since you don't want to join the Chinese Revolutionary Party, Mr. Zhongshan will never force it." This time come. It's really for other things, we have some comrades who are familiar with each other, and we also want to work and study and help each other like you, I wonder if you can help each other? ”

"You also want to work and study to help each other?" Liu Sifu was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, he just felt that Wu Zhihui had found the right person. Obscure students can organize students to work and study to help each other, so they naturally have a clear understanding of the situation of various universities in Shanghai. This work-study mutual aid, to put it bluntly, is to go to various university halls to observe. While finding odd jobs to support themselves. The most prestigious of the Shanghai University Hall is the Tongji University Hall, which has a large campus, many courses, and many foreign professors, and does not reject audit students like other schools, the only bad thing is that it is on the other side of the Huangpu River. You have to take a ferry to get around, and many of the courses are German courses, which people without a foundation can't understand at all.

I was so surprised to see Liu Sifu. Zhu Zhixin's eyebrows jumped suddenly, but fortunately, Liu Sifu said again: "Friendship and mutual assistance are the spirit of the Obscure Society. Since you want Sifu to help, Sifu must do your best. ”

"Good! I'd like to thank you in advance. Wu Zhihui said. Before he came, he knew that Liu Sifu would help. But I was relieved to hear him agree. After finishing the matter, Wu Zhihui subconsciously pulled elsewhere, he said: "Sifu, now the newspapers are talking about the doctor, what do you think of this?" ”

"It's just another trick to fool the people." During this time, Liu Sifu, a doctor who was hotly discussed in the newspaper, also paid attention, as an anarchist, he was extremely disdainful of what doctors, but the reputation of the Obscure Ming Society was not public, and his articles could not be published in the big newspapers, so many words could only be said in his own internal publications, which was very aggrieved.

"That's right!" Wu Zhihui stroked his beard and smiled, "This Yang Huizi is Yang Jingcheng's henchman, or the speaker of the Mystery Academy, the people of the Revival Association have been pushed to Confucianism, and now they are going to get a set of Legalists." ”

Wu Zhihui's words were reasonable, Liu Sifu just said: "When the revolution was a kind of rhetoric, after the revolution it was another kind of rhetoric. For now, what the revival will do cannot be called a revolution at all, it will only change the dynasty. The emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty pulled it down, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent it again. For what, isn't it just for your own glory and wealth? Mr. Zhongshan once said that Yang Jingcheng was a very treacherous person, and in today's China, many years of revolution and sacrifice have made republican democracy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he did not dare to offend the world's condemnation, so he had to push out a puppet emperor......

Wu Zhihui and the people of the Fuxing Association are simply too familiar, I want everyone to teach in the Patriotic Society and eat on the same stove back then, but I don't want everyone to have different experiences and positions for more than ten years. Every time he thought of this, Wu Zhihui's hatred for Zhang Taiyan deepened, if it weren't for him, the Alliance and the Revival Society would not be incompatible.

Wu Zhihui is very talkative, but although he agrees, Liu Sifu still insists that violence cannot carry out social revolution, and believes that only education is the right way to revolution. After Hu Kan got through and discussed the specific matters of work-study mutual assistance, Wu Zhihui and Zhu Zhixin got up to say goodbye. Wu Zhihui was accustomed to walking, and the night market in the concession was very lively, and the two walked for a long time before returning to their residence, and Zhu Zhixin, who had been holding back for a long time, asked: "Mr. Jingheng, the matter is very important, are these people reliable?" ”

"Sifu is originally a revolutionary party, how can it be unreliable?" Wu Zhihui said with a smile. "Even if he is suspicious, he will not betray us."

"But ...... they call it a revolution like that?" Zhu Zhixin still admired Liu Sifu very much before he came, but after listening to Wu Zhihui for a long time just now, he realized that these people were not revolutionary parties at all, and if their kind of revolution could succeed, I am afraid that it would be 300 years later.

"Hold on to the letter, the attraction of the Datong ideal to the people is not small, although Sifu does not want to use force. But not everyone in the Society agrees with him; Even those people now agree with this view, but Yang turned out to be a little out of the ordinary. Then it will be different immediately. Wu Zhihui said. In this world, it is not possible to rely on Yang Huizi's set. Only Mr. Chungyama's Three People's Principles are the best way to save the country. The implementation of the Three People's Principles, so that the land to the best of its ability, the best use of materials, the best use of talents, production efficiency, material abundance, everyone does not need to fight for the livelihood, everyone can be the public, the society can finally enter the anarchic era. It's a pity that those people don't believe in the Three People's Principles, and they don't know that the Three People's Principles are the only way to realize a Datong society......"

Wu Zhihui chattered about the dialectical relationship between anarchism and the Three People's Principles. But Zhu Zhixin didn't want to listen, and when Wu Zhihui's words came to an end, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

In the theater on the fourth road, the agreed joint is carried out again, but the theater is showing an American silent film, and the audience is all silent in order to appear civilized, so that the two people sitting together not only have to talk to each other, but also very quietly.

"Is it arranged?" The man at the joint asked.

"It's all arranged." Zhu Zhixin replied cautiously. "Tomorrow at half past six, people will go to Yuqingli on Xinma Road. The people of the Obscure Society would take them to Tongji University Hall. ”

"Yu Qingli?!" The visitor was surprised to hear the name, this was an old place, so he asked again, "Is it reliable?" ”

"Totally reliable. Many of them were revolutionaries, and a few of them were former members of the Old League. It's going to be fine. "Wu Zhihui is a revolutionary predecessor, and Zhu Zhixin still believes in him very much.

Seeing that Zhu Zhixin was so sure, the people who came also believed it. But Zhu Zhixin was not very at ease about what was going on. He retorted: "What if Yang Jingcheng doesn't go to Tongji University? ”

"Pay attention to party discipline, this is not what you should ask." A 'party discipline' blocked Zhu Zhixin. He had to look at the clown on the canvas in front of him in embarrassment. After a while, when he wanted to ask about something else. As soon as I turned my head, I found that the person who was the connector was gone. When he was about to leave, the lights of the theater suddenly turned on, and a gentry-like person said a few words of Shanghainese above, and then the audience around him was all clapping, and Zhu Zhixin, who didn't know what would be shown below, saw that it was still early, so he sat back again.

The light dimmed in an instant, and an ancient soldier holding a horn appeared on the canvas in front of him against the chaotic military camp behind him, and when Zhu Zhixin felt strange, the horn really made a sound, and he was suddenly frozen as if he was stunned.

"Do you think the Ming Dynasty is exhausted?" In the movie, a voice sounded, and then a military general killed Lisuo, and when the blood spurted, the whole theater was in shock; However, the surprise did not stop there, and a fierce siege battle ensued, with artillery fire raging and exploding on the walls and beneath the city, and soldiers on both sides shouting for death......

It wasn't until the voice of the movie remembered again: 'Sun Chuanting is the only elite of my Ming Dynasty', that Zhu Zhixin somewhat understood that this was a movie in the late Ming Dynasty. It is completely different from the American clown silent film just now, the short film in front of me, although it is not coherent, but it still makes people breathless and thrilling, until the end of the short film, the lights are turned on everywhere, and everyone's clenched hearts are finally let go, but after relaxing, everyone looks at the white swaying canvas and is very regretful, I just hope that the movie is still there.

When Zhu Zhixin looked at the canvas and lost his mind, in the elegant seat of a theater across the road, Liang Qichao, the leader of the Progressive Party, frowned, but Lin Changmin next to him said: "Zhang Taiyan is really crazy, the name of this movie dares to be called Da Ming Tribulation." ”

"What if you call it?" Xu Fusu smiled: "Does the one in the Forbidden City dare to behead the one in the Yin'an Palace?" ”

"Even if you can't cut it, it's not good to comment on it." Lin Changmin said, "This world is still nominally the Zhu family, how can Zhang Taiyan ...... him?"

"Ahem... cough ......" Seeing that the two were arguing over the name of the movie, Liang Qichao fanned his fan and said, "Okay." Two, why don't you think about it, why did the Yin'an Hall make this kind of movie? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Lin Changmin and Xu Fo Suqi said: "Zhuo Ru said that this movie is the ...... of Yin'an Palace"

"Of course. Yang actually has the power in his hands, and his habit of doing things is to build momentum first and then do it, so as to make himself stand on the moral high ground. The movies made in front of the Film Bureau were all wars, but why did this one shoot the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty? If you want to sing praises and virtues, you won't use the word 'robbery' in the name of the movie. Liang Qichao said, his closed folding fan kept tapping on the palm of his left hand, figuring out the meaning of the one in the capital, and finally he said: "You go find acquaintances and see what this movie is about." I knew earlier that we had prepared earlier, but now Yang Huizi finally ate the bait, but he couldn't let him run away. (To be continued......)
