Chapter 277: Bai Xia'er and Zhu Fugui's Strange Relationship
Daming is destined to become the one who is touched to cross the river, so from the beginning, Zhu Fugui attaches great importance to preventing the outflow of core technologies.
For example, military-grade diesel engines, marine-grade turbine water pipe steam engines, high-power pot camel engines, hydro generators of more than 200 kilowatts, and a series of new equipment for coal and iron joint ventures invented by the Ministry of Industry.
These are all important weapons of the country, and they are closely monitored by the Jinyi Security Department.
And the heavy equipment mentioned above is not available in New Qinhuangdao.
Therefore, the degree of freedom of trade in this place is naturally much higher.
Through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, Bai Xia'er saw such a lively place with the style of Quanxia in the past.
The so-called "movie audition" was far more difficult than Bai Xia'er imagined, even if she rushed to this [Xinqin Branch Center of Fugui Pictures] early in the morning at the urging of Yin Li, the long queue also made Bai Xia'er slightly surprised.
Today is May 1st, and Bai Xia'er was sent to Xin Qin by Mu Xiu's Yin Li, driving his brother's new car.
As a younger sister, Yin Li wants to show this newcomer who is as beautiful as a fairy that her brother is rich and young.
It's a pity that her little thoughts are destined to go down the drain.
Tuk-tuk-
Suddenly, a small pebble falling on the window interrupted Bai Xia'er's thoughts.
A high-nosed and deep-eyed foreigner's little daughter, not pretty, skinny, with freckles on her face.
She looked at Bai Xia'er through the window, with blue eyes open, a little nervously.
"Little sister, what's the matter?"
Bai Xia'er recalled Yin Li's actions just now and tried to push open the window.
"You...... Do you have a Juka? ”
To Bai Xia'er's surprise, this little foreigner girl can actually speak Chinese, and she has a Fujian flavor.
"Juka?"
Bai Xia'er frowned, and took out a vermilion card from her arms.
This card was handed to her by the naturalization officer two days ago, after she had completed all the political censorship and sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Ming Emperor in the name of her ancestors.
The card was marked with Bai Xia'er's identity information, and a one-inch black and white photo was pasted.
The material used in the card, called "composite resin", is said to have an absolute anti-counterfeiting effect, and even the Germans, who are known for counterfeiting and selling counterfeits, cannot counterfeit it.
"Is that what you're talking about?"
Bai Xia'er shook the card.
"Yes, that's the ......"
The little girl's eyes were full of envy.
The Juka, which represents the status of a full citizen of the Ming Kingdom, is more noble than the green card with the right of temporary residence.
As the first Dominion of Colombia to start contact with the Ming Dynasty and the first to start private trade, the people of Gaishtown are second only to the Grand Duchy of Seattle in terms of familiarity with the Ming Dynasty.
If in the eyes of the aristocratic lords, these yellow-skinned monkeys with black hair and black eyes are flood beasts, and the Ming Kingdom is the country of the devouring tyrant Zhu Fugui, then for the poor people at the bottom, the life of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty is simply a dream.
You must know that Uncle Yang has to come to the Qing Kingdom to be a master this year.
Staying in Europe, or in Canada or something like that, these low-level whites are no better off than beggars.
And in a moderate dictatorship under the leadership of a left-wing government like the Ming Dynasty, the livelihood of the people at the bottom is quite guaranteed.
Thanks to the poor technology scissors and the current sustainable silver price profits, Daming has established a basic citizen welfare guarantee, and each worker only needs to work 6.5 days a week, and only needs to work 10 hours a day.
In the event of various festivals, there are 1 to 3 days of Mu Xiu, which can be said to be quite humane.
Not to mention, Daming has the best municipal planning in the world, which is far cleaner and more decent than other cities in the Vancouver area.
Moreover, after two consecutive years of bumper grain harvests, the problem of famine in the country was completely solved, and the price of food in Daming was lower.
Xinqin, as a Ming city that recovered late, is full of new projects and opportunities.
As a result, more and more whites came to Xinqin to seek a livelihood or even beg, and Jinyiwei had to repatriate these guys in Russian style several times.
"Dear Madam, may you offer a job for the hard-working Gillian? Rest assured, I have a labor certification! ”
The little white girl took out a flannel from her dirty cotton jacket, and carefully wrapped a certificate inside, as if it were her most important treasure.
【Ming Empire Foreign Worker Certificate:
Gillian Sidibé, a citizen of the British Commonwealth, is allowed to work in the tertiary industry such as human services, tourism and catering in the new Qinhuangdao District for a period of one year.
June 18, 2nd year of Daming Dewu. 】
The certificate has the seal of the Ministry of Household of Daming, as well as the quarantine seal issued by the Health Commission.
The number of such labor certifications is small, and there is a certain probability of obtaining them only after passing the strict political examination, health quarantine, and Chinese language test.
Of course, there is also an unwritten rule that foreign women are more likely to obtain labor visas than men.
After all, no matter how hard the imperial court tried, the ratio of men and women in the Ming Dynasty was still not normal.
Growing up near Gastown's Chinatown, Gillian ticks all the boxes and is lucky enough to become a migrant worker.
During her year as a migrant worker in Daming, she not only managed to support herself, but also sent back at least $15 to her mother's family in Gaishtown.
It's a pity that there is still more than a month left before her labor certification expires.
This is why Gillian is so anxious to find a job that she can ask her employer to apply to the relevant household agency for the renewal of her employment.
A few friends who came with Gillian couldn't resist the lure of money and went to Seattle to find work.
But Gillian was too young, and she didn't want to sell her body.
"Believe me, Venerable Lady Daming, I will definitely be a qualified maid, or rather, a maid's ......," Gillian tried to sell herself.
……
Three days later, "National Hero Zhu Chenggong" officially started shooting in Xinqin Film and Television City in the western suburbs.
Zhu Fugui, the son of tomorrow, personally served as the director, screenwriter, producer, and actor.
And the heroine in the play......
Well, in fact, there are no heroines at all.
Yin Hu's holy intent was indeed deviated, but fortunately, Zhao Aqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gave her a point.
Daming's first movie is not only a National Day gift, but also politically thoughtful and profound.
The choice of Zheng Chenggong as the theme of Daming's first film is too appropriate.
Anti-Qing Dynasty and Restoration of Sight, Han Jing and Blood, Exorcism and Restoration of the Land......
There is no political symbol that better suits the needs of today's Ming Dynasty's return to the Asia-Pacific strategy.
In such a historical drama, the role of women is actually relatively limited, which plays the finishing touch.
is like the old version of "Three Kingdoms", although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms itself is not a historical drama, there should be no problem with the old version of the Three Kingdoms saying that it is a main drama.
In the old version of "Three Kingdoms", there are brilliant female characters like Diao Chan.
But you can't say that Diao Chan is the most important heroine in the whole play.
After all, under the grand historical background at that time, it may be a bit cold to say that she is a tool for serial schemes, but the relationship between men and women is really not the point.
In this regard, the new "Three Kingdoms" gives people a strong sense of disobedience in the handling of Diao Chan and Lu Bu.
Although the actor's skills and shooting level are definitely incomparable, Zhu Fugui prepared his "National Hero Zhu Chenggong" in the direction of the old "Three Kingdoms".
The specific script is based on the only film script in Comrade Guo Moruo's life - "Zheng Chenggong".
Regarding Guo Moruo, Zhu Fugui, like most young people, has hacked him, scolded him, and despised him.
It wasn't until later that I learned that he was a complex person, but definitely not a so-called "soft-boned" literati.
In any case, Lao Guo's script of "Zheng Chenggong" is very skillful and realistic.
On this basis, Zhu Fugui added the role of Zheng Chenggong's mother Tian Chuan.
In 1646, when the Qing army attacked Anping, the Tagawa clan committed suicide in the face of the Qing army's thieves Gushan and Han Dai.
Shoushan Zhengyi's "Quotations from the Ping Domain" Zheng's Soldiers" recorded: "The mother moved a lot, scolded Gushan and died. ”
Huang Zongxi's "The Beginning and End of the Surname" recorded: "Success is hateful, and his mother's abdomen is dissected by the method of Yi, and he is re-embraced for burial." ”
It can be said that Zheng Chenggong was determined to resist the Qing Dynasty all his life, and even did not hesitate to break with his father Zheng Zhilong, which had a lot to do with his mother's education since childhood and her eventual murder.
Increasing her role can increase the fullness of Zheng Chenggong's character, and it can also make the 100,000 women in the Ming Dynasty and their Chinese husbands resonate.
Not surprisingly, in the second half of the year, Daming will usher in a new round of baby boom.
And this group of people is more or less similar to Zheng Chenggong's life experience.
Setting an example and allowing them to establish an identity is another part of the film's role.
At the same time, to promote and be a Han wife, this is also to mobilize public opinion for the Ming Dynasty to fully intervene in Japanese affairs in the second half of the year.
It's just that in this way, Bai Xia'er's original imaginary meeting scene with Zhu Lang has become very different.
At first, it was okay to face the young Zheng Chenggong played by Shi Dingzhong. (Shi Dingzhong and Sha Jingfang went to join in the fun, and respectively caught the roles of the young Zheng Chenggong and the lame wounded soldier B)
Bai Xiaer's acting skills have always been online, and she vividly interprets a good wife and mother with family and country feelings.
But when the plot progressed, time flies, and when she pretended to be a woman in her thirties after a little makeup, she faced the heroic teenager Zheng Chenggong, who was not a weak crown!
And the actor of this young hero is naturally Zhu Fugui, Zhu Datianzi.
"My ......"
Looking at the young man who was vaguely familiar, but became more chic and dignified, Bai Xia'er reached out and gently rubbed his face according to the requirements of the plot, but there was a strange look on his face......
"Click!"
"This girl, I think your maternal brilliance seems to be a little too much, too much, you have to put on a show!"
Director Zhu Da decisively stopped the filming......
