Chapter 136 "Contest"

The opium burning freezes, and a list of the production crew begins to appear on the screen. Because it is a grass stage team, and the works are copied and pasted a lot, there are few people from the director, producer, editing, and synthesis. It's just that the surprise of watching the movie for the first time makes the natives very memorable, and no one leaves even if the word "end" appears on the screen.

The dangers of opium are more or less heard by the common people, but it is better to see than to hear, when the evil consequences of opium smoking are vividly placed in front of everyone, even the most numb people are touched. At the same time, a new concept has been formed among the common people, that selling opium and opening tobacco shops are not only a lack of virtue in giving birth to a son without chrysanthemums, but also violating the law, and if they are caught, they will be killed.

The duration of "The Flower of Evil" is only more than 50 minutes, and it is almost nine o'clock when it is all played, and the people have already gone to bed at this time. In the nineteenth century, the common people lacked nightly entertainment, and they had to go to bed as soon as it got dark, and it was rare to have such novel entertainment, and they were patiently waiting for the second film to begin. It's like a mainland resident who first got a TV in the 80s, and he never sleeps until the screen is full of snowflakes.

In addition to promoting the dangers of opium, "The Flower of Evil" also shows the determination of the Liberation Army to ban smoking, and the second documentary "Competition" shows everyone the strength of the Liberation Army.

The natives didn't wait long, the screen lit up again, and a red star on the hat of the Liberation Army emitted ten thousand golden lights on the screen, followed by a burst of impassioned music, and finally, with the words "Bayi Film Studio" appearing in the golden light, the Propaganda Department once again plagiarized the logo of others.

At the beginning of the film, it was the fierce battle scene of the Battle of Humen in the movie "Opium War", the guns on the batteries and the guns on the British ** ships spat flames from each other, and the sound of cannons was deafening. From time to time, shells hit the forts, and the Qing soldiers flew into the air in the explosion, and the flying blood and stumps caused the natives who had never seen a war movie to scream. Fortunately, after the training of the first film, everyone knows that these are just pictures formed by light and shadow, not things that really happen in front of them, so there is no big sāo movement.

Guan Tianpei was once again engulfed in flames, and the voiceover sounded again, "The First Opium War was the beginning of China's modern history. Because of the policy of "closing the country to the outside world", China has now lagged behind the world's big cháo. In order to reverse the trade deficit with China, Britain began to smuggle opium into China to make huge profits. In order to open the door to the Chinese market, Britain launched a war of aggression under the pretext that Lin Zexu's Humen sold cigarettes in June of the 19th year of Daoguang. …… Later, due to the unfavorable situation of the war, Emperor Daoguang sent Qi Shan, the governor of Zhili, to negotiate peace with the British and signed the Treaty of Nanjing, the first unequal treaty in Chinese history. For the first time, China ceded land, paid compensation, and negotiated tariffs to a foreign country, seriously jeopardizing China's sovereignty. It began to degenerate China into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society and contributed to the disintegration of the natural economy. …… The cession of Hong Kong and the opening of five new treaty ports: Xiamen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, and Guangzhou, were opened one after another, and an indemnity of 21 million silver yuan was paid...... "After this introduction, the common people had a general understanding of the war that occurred in the vicinity more than ten years ago. In particular, the figure of 21 million silver dollars was impressive, and like all those who had heard it for the first time, the common people were stunned. Many people have no idea about the number of more than 10,000, but they can also imagine that 20 million eagles are piled up at least a small mountain. It is unimaginable that the imperial court will lose so much money in a single defeat.

This time the footage used was the movie "Burning the Old Summer Palace", and the "Battle of Bali Bridge" that had not yet happened appeared on the screen, watching the Qing army launch a decisive charge to the positions of the British and French forces again and again, and the audience was completely infected by the tragic atmosphere. Seeing the crowds of cavalry engulfed in artillery fire, many people couldn't help beating their chests; When the cavalry rushed into the enemy formation and killed the foreign soldiers on their backs, there were bursts of cheers from the crowd. It's a pity that the heroic individual is only a flash in the pan, and it can't change the inevitable outcome. At this time, the voiceover sounded, "Yes, the Qing army lost more than 2,000 people, while the British and French troops only lost 12 people, backward weapons, backward army, backward tactics, backward is destined to be beaten!" ”

"Alas!" Tian Yu sighed heavily, "I think I am a big country in China and a state in the Celestial Empire, but I didn't expect to be bullied like this." ”

"Didn't you say that! Backwardness is doomed to be beaten. China was still a first-class power in the world until the Kangxi Dynasty, but the bane of poverty and weakness was planted when the Qing Dynasty was established. Seeing that Levi and Tian Yu were chatting very speculatively just now, Qi Shima, who was sitting in front, also joined in.

"What do you mean by that?" Tian Yu hurriedly asked.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty seized imperial power by mistake with an ethnic minority of less than one percent of the country's population, and they must guard against the rebellion of the Han people in the world anytime and anywhere, and suppressing the Han people has become their top priority, so how can they let the talented people among the Han people come forward? The weaker the Han Chinese, the better it was for their rule, and if it weren't for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom inside and the Anglo-French alliance outside, the Han people would not have been able to get the opportunity to lead the army. According to the guiding ideology of the management committee, when the survivors talk about the Qing Dynasty, it is all kinds of smears, and Qi Shima is no exception, and all kinds of black materials on the Internet are surging, "Originally, the Ming Dynasty could develop a constitutional monarchy, but the entry of the Qing army interrupted this process." China's social system not only did not move forward, but regressed to a slave society, and thousands of Han people in the world became the cattle and horses of the Aixin Jueluo family......" Qi Shima's views can be argued by any modern person who often mixes forums, that is, Tian Yu, a nineteenth-century native whose information is too narrow, will believe his words, and Qing zhèngfu is not capable of refuting rumors for himself.

After talking about the two defeats of the Qing army, the pictures on the screen turned to a documentary shot by the Liberation Army. Outside the familiar Cantonese walled village, a group of British soldiers were giggling while shooting at the villagers with rifles in their hands. Seeing the foreign soldiers being beaten to the ground, the audience shouted from time to time, "Good fight!" ”

"Death to these street boys!"

This was the cause of the conflict between the Liberation Army and the British—the An Changwei Incident. The British army chose to surrender after suffering a heavy blow, and when the British commander handed over the command knife to Ma Angelica, the audience became very excited. Seeing too many defeats of the Qing army, even if the Chinese achieved a small victory, everyone was excited. The voiceover sounded at the right time, "The victory in the two wars has made the invaders arrogant, and they have done what they have on Chinese soil without fear of any punishment, because they have extraterritoriality." However, our recovering soldiers have told them with practical actions that the Chinese people cannot be bullied, and any act of harming the Chinese will definitely pay the price of blood! ”

As events continued to develop, Canton sent a crusade of three warships. Because of the limited material, only the final siege battle appeared on the screen, and the audience, who saw the British soldiers fall under the sweep of machine guns in pieces, and only saw the Chinese being slaughtered, can finally relieve the depression in their chests. And the complete victory of the Guangfu Army at the cost of zero casualties has greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese.

In order to cope with the counterattack of the British, the Liberation Army began to fight hard, and one by one the local strong men cut off their braids, changed into camouflage uniforms, and conducted military training under the training of the surviving officers. From the simplest uprightness to the dazzling variety of tactical moves, from the clumsiness at the beginning to the later proficiency, the audience can clearly feel the growth of the soldiers. Occasionally, when you see a familiar child of your family on the screen, you will make your relatives, friends and neighbors happy.

Warm times are always short-lived, and the yin clouds of war are once again shrouded. The huge fleet of the British appeared on the screen, which made the audience's hearts tighten, and the voiceover also explained in time, "The Chinese people have always been peace-loving, and the Guangfu Army has no intention of expanding the war." However, the British who invaded Chengxing ignored the goodwill of our Liberation Army for peace, and transferred a larger army from the north in an attempt to bring the Liberation Army to its knees by force......" The long-distance aerial photography of the Bumblebee clearly showed the whole picture of the British fleet, and also made the audience deeply shocked by the scale of the British fleet. The stronger the enemy, the more it will reflect the heroism and tenacity of our army, which is also the message of the film to the audience.

The final decisive moment finally came, and the British army, which had completed the assembly, took the lead in attacking the position of the Liberation Army, and the Liberation Army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately gave a head-on attack. The scene of the desperate charge reappears, but this time the protagonist is the British. Seeing the Tianzhu soldiers being slaughtered and waiting to be exhausted, the audience felt the thrill of revenge.

The British are not toothless tigers, and their killer weapon also appeared quickly, the firelight flashed in the position from time to time, and from time to time the soldiers fell in the firelight, which also made the audience understand that victory is always accompanied by sacrifice. Suddenly, a rocket exploded in front of the camera, and the dirt kicked up directly covered the lens, which was also the most dangerous experience of Xie Sen on the battlefield. However, after being picked up, he was unharmed, and he got the nickname "Little Johnson".

The smoke gradually cleared, the sacrificed soldiers were discharged into the clearing, and the music of "Be With Me" rendered the atmosphere of grief and indignation to the extreme. Qi Shima looked behind, and many spectators, including Tian Juren, had tears flashing in the corners of their eyes, and someone in the crowd was faintly whimpering. "These young soldiers are all good, they have sacrificed their precious lives so that the Chinese will no longer be bullied by foreigners, we will not let their blood be shed in vain, and the Guangfu Army will definitely drive all the invaders out of Chinese soil!" The voiceover successfully mobilized the audience's emotions, "Revenge! ”

"Kill all the ghosts!" The shouts rang out in the crowd, and more and more people joined in the shouts.

The film did not disappoint the audience, on the screen, the muzzles of one cannon after another pointed to the sky. The survivors recognized at a glance that this was the scene from the beginning of the second part of "The Great Battle: The Battle of Liaoshen", and the preparations of the People's Liberation Army before the bombardment of Jinzhou were now shamelessly appropriated here by Xie Sen. The middle is interspersed with shots of the 152 Divine Cults of the Liberation Army, although there are countless goofs, but the audience can't see it. Then there is the roar of ten thousand cannons, and the combination of the movie and the aerial footage of Bumblebee begins, and a beautiful battle kicks off. The British batteries were torn apart in the firelight, in exchange for loud applause from the audience.

The Liberation Army crossed the Channel and launched an attack on the British lair. The running and shaking shots, coupled with the flying bullets, the fire of the explosion, and the lodging corpses, make the audience feel immersive, and also let everyone experience the fierceness and cruelty of the battle. When the five-star red flag was raised in the Governor's Palace, when the British troops who were finally surrounded on the beach laid down their arms, everyone could feel the hard-won victory.

A group of prisoners walked onto the ferry under the escort of the knife, and the results of the battle began to appear on the screen, "In this battle, our army killed, wounded and captured more than 5,000 enemies, captured ordnance and baggage, and recovered the entire territory of Hong Kong at the same time. The victory in this battle dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the aggressors, and this victory eloquently proved that the days when the Western aggressors could occupy one country for several hundred years by erecting only a few cannons on the coast of the East are gone forever. The film ends with a sonorous voiceover.
