"I am a good person, I only get bad occasionally." Looking at the secret message sent back by Lin Taizeng in his hand, Prince Yang shamelessly gave himself such an evaluation. Of course, he would not take this little thing to heart.
As a veteran executioner whose hands are theoretically stained with the blood of tens of millions of people, killing a few hundred people is nothing.
At this time, he was on his way back to London. Even if his trip to Europe was over, there was actually nothing to pay special attention to here. The headquarters of the Yang Group in Gothenburg managed this huge corporate empire for him. Lin Luoke
His brother Erikson was the chancellor of the empire.
In that twenty-story skyscraper, thousands of employees from various countries in finance, accounting, auditing, and law, like spiders lying on their own territory, jointly weave a web that covers the world.
Huge network.
There are hundreds of optical transmitters in this building. Ultra-high-power radio waves can forward commands here to any consortium member around the world at any time. Information from all over the world is also gathered here. In this way, Prince Yang employs people
His brain formed his supercomputer, and the operator of this supercomputer was his little maid Catherine. This little girl stayed at the consortium headquarters as his representative after graduating from college, and ruled the empire like Yang Feng's clone.
.
But this time she boarded the Nautilus and returned to China with Prince Yang to enjoy life as a member of his royal family. She was replaced by the prince's other sweetheart, sister Caiyi. After all, Yang Feng was still interested in
Women in their own beds are more trusting.
After returning to London, he stayed for another week and visited the three Haiqi warships under construction. These three warships were about to be completed, and Guangxu did not give up on them no matter how tight his finances were. It is said that he also took away the rags left by Yang Feng in the Summer Palace.
After selling them all, they finally collected the subsequent construction costs. Seeing how pitiful he was, Prince Yang decided not to cause trouble for him anymore, and let the three cruisers drive back to Weihaiwei safely!
Then he left the UK and sailed to Paris. He didn't have many properties in France, only a joint venture oil refinery, a radio station owned by Tomorrow Daily and a newly established film company. The first movie is currently being shot.
The script, written by Prince Yang himself, is an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' masterpiece The Count of Monte Cristo, but progress is very slow.
The reason is very simple. This is a real movie. No one knows how to shoot this thing. Even the Lumiere brothers, the fathers of world cinema who were hired by him, don’t know how to shoot this movie.
I knew that the bell of 1897 had just struck. The world-recognized birth date of cinema was December 28, 1895, when the brothers’ twelve documentaries were first screened in Paris.
From a short film to a real feature film that is over an hour long and has sound, this is indeed a bit incredible.
"I have to say, you are wasting my precious film." Looking at what they took, Prince Yang said gloomily.
"Your Highness, I don't think we need to be too demanding now. This is the world's first feature film, and it's also a sound film. No matter what we make, it can be said to be epoch-making." August.
Said awkwardly from the side.
"Oh my God, August, I can't believe that such words came out of your mouth. What I want is for the world to see a real movie, one that makes them all open their eyes and hold their breath.
Breathe and stare at the screen of the movie, instead of watching how a little baby drinks milk or how a group of workers walk out of the door. They want to see many of these things. In reality, even if they are novel, they are nothing more than novelties without any vitality.
What you need to shoot is something they can’t see in reality, but look what you are shooting? Even a stage play looks more real than this thing. Don’t be afraid to spend money, make the scenery perfect
Be more realistic and don't make your props look like cheap items from the market.
The Count of Monte Cristo is a super rich man comparable to the royal family, not a poor dock worker. You can just find a "jinv" to play Heidi, but can you find someone prettier? Do you know how this will happen?
Those Alexandre Dumas admirers will regret watching this movie. What they want to see is a mysterious Greek princess, not a cheap "jinv" lying there and fussing at them." Prince Yang couldn't bear it.
.
This movie is his key project. He specially found the father of world cinema because he hopes to bring the world into the movie era in the most grand way. He doesn't want to make a bad movie that will make people throw rotten eggs at his head.
.
The Lumière brothers were so scolded by him that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, but you really can't blame them for this. Who has ever photographed such a thing? They used to just use simple photography equipment to point at a certain place, and then take ten pictures.
It's a small record of eight minutes, but Prince Yang's machine looks like something from a science fiction novel.
"Well, it seems I need to stay in France for a while!" Prince Yang said speechlessly. He decided to be the director himself. Although he had never done this job, he was still the boss of Fox Company in the time and space of the Republic of China, and he had many friends around him.
A Hollywood diva-level star who sleeps every day will always know something through his ears and eyes. What's more, his camera and film are all fake products of the 1930s, so it is not difficult to make a satisfactory movie.
Just when he and the Lumière brothers resumed filming The Count of Monte Cristo, the Governor of Pola Vixia on the Philippine battlefield also began a large-scale counterattack. In order to avoid worries, his first target of attack was Bonny
Faxiu, the Spanish army equipped with machine guns and poison gas bombs began a bloody massacre of the monkeys.
The 20,000-strong army rolled through the jungles of the Philippines like a steamroller, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of blood wherever they passed. The monkeys, who had never seen the power of mustard gas, regarded this terrifying weapon as a devil. Countless staunch revolutionaries fell to the ground.
Caught in the yellow poisonous mist, the Bonifaxiu rebel army, which had originally expanded to nearly 100,000 people, collapsed in just a few days and turned into countless guerrillas hiding in the mountains and forests. The liberated towns were restored one after another.
returned to Spanish hands.
In these regained lands, Pollavisha began to implement his method in Cuba, forcibly moving the remaining Filipinos around the towns, then burning their original homes, cutting off their possible assistance to the guerrillas, and moving to the towns.
Concentration camps were built for the core and were guarded by Spanish soldiers. As for those who participated in the rebellion or were involved with the rebels, including their relatives, they were all shot on the spot. The bloody killings dealt a heavy blow to Bonifashow.
He led the remaining rebels and had to hide in the swamp. At the same time, he asked Aguinaldo for help, hoping that he would launch an attack on Manila and force Pollavixia to relax the pressure on him.
But unfortunately, his revolutionary method of attacking local tyrants and dividing their land has aroused the dissatisfaction of Aguinaldo, who represents the interests of the landlord class. Not only did he refuse to send troops to attack Manila, he instead shrank his defense lines and watched Bonifa show off at the hands of the Spaniards.
Struggling in the poisonous gas. The infuriated Bonifashow announced in the name of the supreme leader of the Katipunan that Aguinaldo would be expelled from the organization, and at the same time called on his Katipunan members to rise up and drive this traitor out of office. Unfortunately,
No one responded.
Aguinaldo has enough financial support, especially the overseas Chinese headed by Liu Hengzhen, who provided him with large sums of money, and Li Hongzhang provided weapons behind him, not to mention the brilliant victory of Binakayan, and Boni
What did Faxiu have? Apart from attacking his own compatriots, he couldn't even achieve any achievements worth mentioning. Those landlords and wealthy businessmen would not donate a penny to him. This is how the revolutionary forces in the Philippines began to split.
However, because of the firm support of the poor people at the lower level, and at the critical moment, Ye Anping quietly sent a batch of weapons and ammunition. Bonifaxiu still lived as tenaciously as a cockroach, and struggled with Bolavisha in the jungle.
Entangled.
In order to relieve his own predicament, at this moment he also disclosed the future founding program, describing to the monkeys a beautiful country without colonists, landlords, and profiteers. In that country, everyone can be equal.
, live freely and happily, all material materials are jointly owned by the people and distributed equally, and private ownership is completely abolished.
The food they have worked so hard to grow will no longer be taken away by landlords, they no longer need to buy expensive goods from those profiteers, their country will give them everything, and they do not need to worry about being in bed without money for treatment when they get sick.
If the "shenyin" are waiting to die, the country will treat their illnesses. They don't have to worry about their children not being able to go to school. The country will let them receive education for free. In short, as long as they follow him and build such a country, their future will be better.
All countries will give it!
As soon as the beautiful country he described appeared, the whole world was shocked. Damn, isn't this the resurgence of the Paris Commune? You must know that this is a scourge. The direction of public opinion in various countries has changed instantly. Many people who originally sympathized with the monkeys no longer
I dare say I sympathize with them.
However, in the Philippines, it caused a shock like a tsunami. The lowest-level monkeys who were originally ignorant about the colonists all flocked to San Mateo Mountain, Bonifashow's base, from all over the country like crazy.
In a short period of time, his lost troops were restored. More importantly, a large number of remnants of the Paris Commune finally found a place to realize their ideals. These people began to come to the Philippines from all over the world to join his team.
