With the popularity of Champagne Salon, the image of the Chinese in the hearts of Americans is gradually changing. Douglas MacArthur, the U.S. Governor-General in the Philippines, even conveyed President Wilson's invitation to Qin Zhiyuan to visit the United States.
Obviously, Woodrow Wilson was not completely sure whether Qin Zhiyuan would accept the invitation. Otherwise, Woodrow Wilson could have made the invitation directly over the phone.
When conveying an invitation to visit someone else, it always seems a bit insincere.
But that was not Qin Zhiyuan's reason for rejecting the invitation. The reason for Qin Zhiyuan's rejection was the Chinese Exclusion Act. When MacArthur extended the invitation to Qin Zhiyuan, Qin Zhiyuan refused outright, leaving no room for error.
Although I am the king of Lanfang, I am of Chinese origin after all. 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.
This sentence was so decisive, but the reason was so sufficient, that MacArthur was speechless, and MacArthur had no choice but to give up.
So what if I don’t give up?
It is true that MacArthur was the emperor in the Philippines, but in Lanfang, MacArthur was nothing. If we go back to the time when the movie Champagne Chalon was filmed, MacArthur was even Qin Zhiyuan's subordinate. He and the 84th Brigade of the US Army would have to suffer
Qin Zhiyuan was restrained.
With such a background, it was not easy for MacArthur to stand upright in front of Qin Zhiyuan.
To be honest, even if there was no Chinese Exclusion Act, Qin Zhiyuan's visit to the United States now would probably not yield much results.
I still remember that when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Woodrow Wilson did not come to Lanfang to congratulate him. 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 took office, but two months ago, Woodrow Wilson suffered another severe stroke. The left half of Woodrow Wilson's body was completely paralyzed and he was blind in his left eye.
Qin Zhiyuan expressed his concern and blessing for Woodrow Wilson to MacArthur, but that was all. Qin Zhiyuan did not intend to accommodate Woodrow Wilson on certain matters just because Woodrow Wilson looked miserable.
There is no human relationship between countries.
The Champagne Salon is just the beginning. Following that, 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 provide Lanfang with
Create a positive and positive image, and establish the concept of fairness and justice in this world full of intrigues, rampant power, and supremacy of hegemonic thinking.
If one day Lan Fang can be equated with fairness and justice, then Lan Fang will have the right to speak.
In another time and space, this work was actually completed by Americans, so the ideas admired by Americans became universal values.
In this time and space, Qin Zhiyuan wants to complete this matter first.
In fact, it is not that difficult to establish a national image. If a lie is repeated a thousand times, it will become the truth. No matter how domineering Lan Fang is and how aggressive he is, as long as Lan Fang's propaganda agency
With fairness and justice on our lips, over time, Lanfang people will have a strong sense of belonging and pride in Lanfang, no matter what people from other countries think.
To be honest, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't care too much about the reactions of people from other countries. Qin Zhiyuan only wants to be responsible for the people of Lanfang. Qin Zhiyuan has no obligation to people from other countries. Only the people of Lanfang are what Qin Zhiyuan values most.
group.
Currently in production after Salon Champagne begins its run is Reims and Fernandez de Noir.
Different from the tragedy of Chalon de Champagne, Reims and Fernandez de Noir are more focused on victory and glory.
In the movie "Lance", there will be scenes of German soldiers resisting to the death in the face of the British and American forces, and surrendering in the face of the Foreign Legion. Even a moment ago they were still fighting fiercely, but when the main attacking unit was replaced by the Foreign Legion, the next moment
There are also shots of the determined German defenders immediately collapsing and surrendering.
Compared with those tragic and death-defying shots in the Champagne Salon, these shots are undoubtedly more dramatic and can better highlight the power of the Foreign Legion.
In Fernandez de Noir, William III, who was still Crown Prince William at the time, will become the biggest easter egg in the whole movie. He captured the enemy's crown prince on the battlefield. This is the most worthy of special mention during the entire world war.
feat.
This feat was accomplished by the Foreign Legion.
In order to make the film more interesting, in Ferenta de Noir's film, the two people interviewed at the beginning of the film are Qin Zhiyuan himself and William III himself.
In a movie, two kings personally go to battle to wave the flag and the cast is so powerful that it can be said to be truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
In fact, with the production experience of Champagne Chalon, the production team of Lanfang Royal Pictures is already quite mature. Therefore, the progress of the two films of Lance and Ferenta de Noir has been significantly improved compared to Champagne Chalon. It is estimated that
It will be released later this year.
Of course, the year here refers to the Western calendar, not the traditional Chinese year.
Lanfang currently uses the Western calendar, not the traditional Chinese chronology. This situation will only last until the end of 1919. After the Chinese Spring Festival, Lanfang will implement the Yellow Emperor calendar to distinguish it from the Western calendar.
To be honest, regarding the Western calendar, also known as the Gregorian calendar, this calendar has not been popular around the world for a long time. It has only been in the past one or two hundred years. In terms of history, it is far from the traditional Chinese calendar.
However, it would not be appropriate if Lanfang copied the Chinese calendar. For example, the lunar calendar is not suitable for Lanfang.
Think about it, Lanfang is located in the tropics. Although there are twenty-four solar terms in the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, in Lanfang, if we also divide the twenty-four solar terms, I am afraid there will only be summer solstice, minor summer, major summer, and end-heat.
Several solar terms can be used in turn.
Then the lunar calendar will exist in name only.
It doesn't matter if it exists in name only, as long as it can express the sentiments of the people of Lanfang. The Chinese have never been conservative. If they blindly stick to their old ways, it is estimated that Chinese civilization will have lost its inheritance just like ancient Egypt, ancient India, and Babylon.
The reason why Qin Zhiyuan compiled this series of documentaries is to show how confident the Lanfang people who have inherited Chinese civilization are, how they are self-improving, and how they are forging ahead.
Of course, it is undeniable that the success of Champagne Salon also caused trouble to Qin Zhiyuan. 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 you don’t agree to make a documentary about you. It doesn’t need to take up your time, and you don’t need to cooperate deliberately. You just need to sit there and say a few words, and you can create a bigger picture than Champagne Chalon.
Better publicity effect, even Her Royal Highness the Queen agreed to this project. Why do you just disagree with such a good idea? Ren Shizhen felt deeply resentful.
Ren Shizhen was an early student studying in France. While studying in France, Ren Shizhen was exposed to drama and became a member of the school drama troupe. After the movie appeared, Ren Shizhen showed a strong interest in movies. Through the efforts of Ren Shizhen and his classmates,
, Ren Shizhen successfully put a stage play by his school drama troupe on the screen.
During the World War of the Century, Ren Shizhen joined the Foreign Legion and became Qin Zhiyuan's royal photographer. He had always had a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan, so he spoke without much restraint.
I really don’t understand, there is so much material, why do you insist on talking about me? Isn’t it okay with Chen Kangjian, who I told you last time? What happened between him and Mary is so exciting, isn’t it worth putting on the screen? If this isn’t exciting enough
, so what about Cartier? Now there is a statue of Cartier on the pier of Thunder City. Isn't Cartier's story worthy of being put on the screen? Qin Zhiyuan is not polite at all.
If you think about it carefully, there are indeed too many people and things in the Foreign Legion that are worthy of being put on the screen. If you want to sort it out carefully, within ten years from now, Lanfang Royal Pictures will not have to worry about running out of materials.
Your Majesty, those stories are very good, and I will put them all on the screen in the future. But things have priorities, people have priorities, and publicity work must also be focused. If there is no focus, then the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort will not be achieved.
After all, the resources in our hands are limited. We still need to concentrate our efforts to do certain things well, and it is impossible to roll them out comprehensively. Therefore, in order to save costs and better achieve our goals, we can only refine it on the basis of existing materials.
Processing, this is the most consistent with the laws of objective value. Ren Shizhen spoke plausibly.
How to put it this way, the information about Qin Zhiyuan filmed by Ren Shizhen alone is enough. Not to mention compiling a movie, it is no problem to organize the top, middle and bottom. Of course, Ren Shizhen is inclined to solve the problem fundamentally.
But for Qin Zhiyuan, this issue is obviously putting the cart before the horse: no matter whose photos you take, you can't avoid me, so using other people's affairs as the core of the narrative can maximize your benefits.
No, using other people's stories as the core of the narrative will not only prevent you from inserting more elements, but will instead lead to a dry and full body of parts. Only by using your story as the main line can you add more people and things, and that is the real benefit.
Hua. Ren Shizhen is stubborn.
No matter what you say, I won't agree. Qin Zhiyuan locked the door.
Misha served the coffee a little absent-mindedly, and her gestures of placing it in front of Qin Zhiyuan were a bit big.
When Mr. Auerbach arrived, Micha reminded him softly.
Auerbach, well, this is another great achievement.
