But the good times did not last long, and soon their discs aroused a lot of criticism and even had to be returned.
At this time, the people with the fourth surname and Liuwang discovered that it turns out that movies are not just about making money.
The audience is not that hungry.
No wonder the output of China Film and Television is still so low even though it makes money as long as it is filmed.
This incident was like a blow to the head of Liuwang, the fourth surname, and they were completely deceived.
Next, they sat together, held an emergency meeting, and began to study countermeasures.
After some research, they finally decided that returns are definitely not possible.
But after doing this, it is estimated that their reputation of Tengfei Film and Television has been directly ruined, and they will not be able to use it again in the future.
If that's the case, they might as well just change the name.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of name. As long as the name is changed, no one will know that they have also worked on Tengfei Film and Television.
Of course, this means that the company has not been registered yet, and there are no disadvantages caused by this aspect of management.
And after research, they discovered that their movie was indeed terrible.
Originally, they only cared about speed. Who cared about what subject they were shooting and what the quality of the shooting was?
Now, they took the movie they shot themselves and watched it from beginning to end.
Even they themselves had to admit that yes, the filming was indeed terrible.
Even they would never buy these discs.
Well, it seems that if we make movies in the future, we can’t make them so shoddily!
They even thought about whether they should simply fake the videos of China Film and Television.
However, after careful consideration, they decided not to take the risk.
Once the king of Shu finds out, they will probably be unable to eat enough to drink a pot.
…
Li Min found Di Renjie and asked Di Renjie to lead the Yizhou Scientific Research Institute to conduct research on telegraphs and telephones.
After nearly ten years of development, all states in Datang now have electricity.
Of course, there are still some remote rural areas where it has not yet been launched.
If it is to be fully popularized throughout the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it will take some years.
Now, what Li Min wants is progress in communications.
It's time to study telegraphs and telephones. Once these are completed, they can also be used in the military.
A big flaw in ancient cold weapon warfare was that orders could not be conveyed in a timely manner.
Soldiers must be sent to convey the message, as it can easily be intercepted on the road.
But imagine that if one party uses telegraphs or walkie-talkies to communicate, the other party must use soldiers to communicate.
So in terms of information, it is definitely a crushing advantage.
And Li Min believed that the Yizhou Scientific Research Institute had developed to this point and would be able to develop telegraphs and telephones very quickly.
Before we knew it, it was December.
The King of Goryeo was once again frightened by the Tang Dynasty.
Then the King of Goryeo sent his son Moli Zhirenwu to Tang Dynasty to apologize.
However, the King of Korea's apology was directly rejected by Li Shimin Duan Ran.
Are you afraid now? Unfortunately, it’s too late!
Li Shimin is now well aware of Goryeo's urinal nature. If he accepts their apology now and stops beating them, Goryeo will definitely come out to cause trouble next year.
For a guy like this who cares about food but not about beating, he should be beaten hard until it hurts and until he is frightened.
In December, Tiger Films released their first movie, Old Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
This is the first movie that Cheng Yaojin and his gang of veterans designed and shot by themselves.
After they finished shooting, they proudly showed the finished product to Li Min to see.
After watching it, Li Min was dumbfounded and wanted to say: This is an amazing thing!
Of course, Li Min thought about this in his heart and would never say it out loud to discourage these old guys.
But what Li Min didn't expect was that after the film was made into a DVD and sold, it actually sold well.
Even after selling some of them, even though it turned out that the pictures were really bad, some people still bought them.
After all, this was taken by a real old hero from the Sui and Tang Dynasties himself.
The Tang Dynasty favored martial arts, and there were still many fans of these old heroes.
The initial success made these old guys even more complacent, and they are already preparing to shoot a second movie.
In December, there will also be other films produced by non-Chinese Film and Television released on the market.
Because they have little reputation, it is difficult to gain market recognition.
Which consumers in the market now only recognize China Film and Television.
As long as it is produced by China Film and Television, its quality is guaranteed and it will still be snapped up.
There is no need to know in advance what subject they are photographing.
But the productions of other film and television companies are different, and basically no one cares about them.
Then these film and television companies also learned wisely.
They will be released in some areas first.
Of course, there are no movie theaters in the Tang Dynasty now.
The so-called screening means that they pay for it themselves and find help from others to screen it in the open air for free.
After it is released, film critics are invited to review the film, which is then broadcast in Yizhou Monthly.
Now Yizhou Monthly will add a special film review section.
The film critics are actually all people from Yizhou Monthly.
This is actually what Li Min wants to promote the film industry.
Li Min didn't want to suppress other film and television practitioners, but decided to play with them.
If you want to suppress it, Li Min can guarantee that within ten years at least, there will be absolutely no chance for other film and television companies to show up.
But an absolute monopoly does not bring any benefit to the development of movies.
Therefore, the film reviews of these film critics are based on the principle of fairness and impartiality.
Among the movies released in December, there are really some good ones.
After being reported by Yizhou Monthly News, the sales of these discs were also very hot.
Throughout December, the people had enough fun.
Moreover, after a year of development, the status of movie stars has now been widely recognized.
Some businesses have even begun to invite celebrities to support them when organizing events.
Before I knew it, December had come to an end.
It's the end of the year again.
After the New Year, just after the first month, Li Shimin recruited Xue Wanche and others, led an army of 30,000, and prepared to attack Goryeo from Laizhou by sea.
At this time, something happened in the Tang Dynasty that not many people noticed, but this incident had a profound impact on the Tang Dynasty.
Because Master Xuanzang and his disciples went to Tianzhu to obtain the true scriptures.
Master Xuanzang can be said to be the first overseas student in ancient China, and also the most outstanding one.
He has studied abroad in Tianzhu for more than ten years, and his mastery of Buddhist teachings can be said to be unparalleled in the whole of Tianzhu.
Once he gave a lecture in Tianzhu. Many eminent monks from Tianzhu were present. Master Xuanzang continued to lecture for more than 40 days, but no one dared to come out to debate with him.
When he was in Tianzhu, Master Xuanzang told King Harsha many times about Li Shimin's wisdom and martial arts and the power of the Tang Dynasty.
King Harsha was fascinated by the Tang Dynasty.
In the fifteenth year of the Zhenguan reign, King Jiari sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty.
This year, Li Shimin sent Wang Xuance as deputy envoy to follow Li Yibiao on his first mission to India.
This is also a return visit to the envoy sent by Tianzhu.
Wang Xuance was solemnly received by King Harsha.
But at this time, India had been divided into five parts: East, West, South, North, and Central India.
The Harsha King that Wang Xuance and the others visited was from Tianzhu in the north.
At this time, a coup occurred in Zhongtianzhu. Minister Aronashun usurped the throne and became the king of Zhongtianzhu.
Then when Wang Xuance and his party returned, Alonashun sent troops to capture Wang Xuance and his party and plundered his belongings.
Wang Xuance was very ashamed and angry.
As an angel from the kingdom of God, he could not accept such a shame and humiliation in this barbarian country.
Wang Xuance took advantage of their lack of defense and escaped secretly.
After escaping, Wang Xuance did not return to Chang'an immediately to resume his duties. Instead, he went directly to Nepal and borrowed more than 10,000 troops from them in the name of the Tang Dynasty.
Then, Wang Xuance used the borrowed army of more than 10,000 people to directly attack Zhongtianzhu.
Later, Wang Xuance actually used more than 10,000 borrowed soldiers and horses to defeat and capture Alonashun alive, and also killed everyone in Tianzhu.
Let all the small countries in Tianzhu bow their heads and become vassals.
At this time, Wang Xuance proudly returned to Chang'an with these prisoners and the plundered property.
This time, Wang Xuance promoted the power of the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shimin heard about this, he was very happy and made Wang Xuance the official of the San Dynasty.
Originally, this incident was nothing more than a small incident in the entire history of the Tang Dynasty.
But unfortunately, Wang Xuance brought back a Tianzhu alchemist from Tianzhu.
This man claimed that he could refine the elixir of life and make people immortal.
And this just scratched Li Shimin's itch.
Since ancient times, who among the kings has not wished that he could live forever?
Qin Shihuang also sent Xu Fu to search for the elixir of immortality all over the world.
Later generations will film an imperial TV series, and there is a lyric in it: I really want to live another five hundred years.
Li Shimin was no exception and began to reuse this alchemist.
Let the alchemist refine the elixir of life for him and take it regularly.
After learning the news, Li Min couldn't help but be shocked.
Recently, Li Min has been busy developing Nanzhao.
During this period, Nanzhao was developing at a rapid pace.
The main thing is road construction.
Well, of course, as a side note, I would naturally spend some time with Duan Yutong and the little guy Li Jizong.
When Li Min learned the news, he sighed secretly and ignored it.
If we had paid attention to it earlier, maybe something like this wouldn't have happened.
Because in the original historical trajectory, this thing happened.
Due to long-term use of the elixir of life, Li Shimin's condition gradually worsened, and he eventually died early next year.
But this elixir of life also contains some irritating medicinal properties.
It can temporarily make Li Shimin feel very good. For a moment, it seems that the medicine is really working.
Once this elixir of life occurs, you may become terminally ill and have no cure.
Although judging from the current situation, Li Shimin's death is actually beneficial to Li Min's layout.
Now his influence in the entire Jiannan Road has reached a point where no one can ignore it or control it.
If Li Shimin dies and makes Wei King Li Tai the crown prince.
So as long as the King of Shu can stand on his own in Jiannan Road, the most optimistic situation is that the Tang Dynasty will split into two countries.
In an unoptimistic situation, naturally the King of Shu counterattacked into Chang'an and successfully seized the throne.
In fact, the probability of King Shu succeeding is very, very high.
Therefore, Li Shimin's death at this time was beneficial to Li Min.
If it is delayed for a long time, it may happen repeatedly.
But from an emotional point of view, this is his father, connected by flesh and blood, and inherited by blood.
Li Min couldn't pretend that he didn't know anything even though he had the chance to stop it.
Therefore, Li Min immediately made a memorial and spoke sincerely to dissuade Li Shimin from continuing to take the elixir of life.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin became furious after seeing the memorial from the King of Shu.
"You traitor! Do you think I don't know your thoughts?"
"Hmph! Are you afraid that if your father lives too long, you won't have a chance to get involved in the throne?"
"You traitor! I will never let you get what you want!"
Li Shimin was very angry and couldn't help but scolded Li Min severely.
After receiving Li Shimin's order, Li Min couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This is also the fate of my father, and there is absolutely no way to dissuade him.
At the court, Fang Xuanling was critically ill, so he advised Li Shimin to stop the war against Goryeo.
But Li Shimin obviously didn't listen to Fang Xuanling's words.
After entering old age, Li Shimin is no longer as wise as he was when he was young.
I am no longer as able to listen to the advice of ministers as I was when I was young.
Li Shimin still ordered the local states to continue building sea ships and prepare to continue to attack Goryeo.
Because Xue Wanche failed to capture Goryeo in one fell swoop, he temporarily led his troops back to recuperate.
Xue Wanche is very arrogant and arrogant.
Many people in the court wrote letters of impeachment against him.
Then after Xue Wanche's class returned to the court, Li Shimin said to Xue Wanche:
"Oh, Xue Ai'ai, there have been many people writing letters of impeachment against you recently. They all say that you are not on good terms with the generals, and they all demand that you be punished."
"But I can't bear to punish you! Let's do this. This time, your merits and demerits are equal to each other. You have no merits and no faults. What do you think?"
After saying this, Li Shimin burned all the letters written to Xue Wanche.
After returning, Xue Wanche was very dissatisfied and complained a lot secretly.
As a result, Xue Wanche's lieutenant, right-guard general Pei Xingfang, secretly complained to him and repeated all his complaints one by one.
It can be seen that Xue Wanche is very capable in combat, but he is indeed not a good person.
Since Xue Wanche's lieutenant knew that Xue Wanche was angry, it proved that Xue Wanche did not avoid him at all.
It proves that Xue Wanche truly regards him as his confidant, but his lieutenant can sell him out in the blink of an eye.
Even the British Duke Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, Xue Wanche is a great general, and he is also your brother-in-law. He complained. Those words were so unpleasant and inappropriate. It is an unforgivable crime!"
Then, Li Shimin dismissed Xue Wanche and exiled him to Xiangzhou.
Then Li Shimin appointed Chu Suiliang as Zhongshu Ling.
Let’s talk about Li Shimin, after taking the elixir for several months.
After taking the elixir of life, my face turned red, my expression became excited, my body sweated slightly, and I felt like I had endless energy.
Even at night, you can still do some things after dinner.
But a few months later, Li Shimin's health suddenly took a turn for the worse.
His face turned yellow, and he suddenly looked much older.
Every day when he goes to court, he staggers and sometimes needs strong men to help him.
All the civil and military officials in the court saw it in their eyes and worried in their hearts.
At this time, someone impeached an alchemist from Tianzhu.
Li Shimin also realized that he had been deceived by this alchemist.
It turns out that the King of Shu was not afraid that he would live too long, but was dedicated to his own good.
If he had listened to King Shu's words, his body would not have collapsed to this point now.
Li Shimin directly ordered that the alchemist from Tianzhu be put to death. Even the man who brought the alchemist, Wang Xuance, was implicated.
Not only was he dismissed from office, but he was also directly exiled to Lingnan.
As Li Shimin's health deteriorated day by day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again urged Li Shimin to establish a crown prince.
Li Shimin himself also realized that this time, he was really going to establish a crown prince.
If we don't establish the crown prince again, if something goes wrong this time, I'm afraid something will really happen.
On this day, Li Shimin suddenly issued an edict that because of his health, all the princes in the fiefdom should return to Chang'an.
I'm afraid that after all the princes come to Chang'an, that is when the prince will be appointed.
However, the princes are at different distances from Chang'an, so the time to get to Chang'an will naturally be different.
As for the emperor's edict, many people felt that it seemed to be issued specifically to the King of Shu alone.
When Li Min received this edict, he immediately prepared to leave for Chang'an.
But when he just went out, he was stopped directly by Shangguan Yi.
"Your Highness, you must not go to Chang'an at this time!"
Li Min couldn't help but look at Shangguan Yi attentively, and then asked: "Shangguan Changshi, why is this?"
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said: "There are so many people here talking about different things, it's not the place to talk."
Li Min nodded and said, "Well, Shangguan Changshi, come and study in my study."
Soon, the person who came came to the study.
Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Shangguan Changshi, tell me, why do you say that I cannot go to Chang'an?"
Shangguan Yi said solemnly: "Your Highness, this time, the emperor must establish a prince."
"However, according to the speculations of my subordinates, it is very likely that the prince the emperor plans to establish is not King Li Tai of Wei, but King Li Zhi of Jin."
After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but look at Li Min.
Shangguan Yi felt that his inference was so shocking that the King of Shu would not believe it.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Min took a deep look at Shangguan Yi, and then said: "Shangguan Changshi, I didn't expect you to see it too?"
What?
What do you mean I also saw it?
The key is that word!
Li Min nodded and said: "Yes, my father must have his own considerations. Although King Li Tai of Wei is extremely talented, he is narrow-minded."
"Moreover, the relationship between him and Changsun Wuji is not good. Therefore, if he is established as the crown prince, Changsun Wuji will definitely not support him."
"Furthermore, if the King of Wei is appointed as the crown prince, none of the surviving princes may be able to escape. And if the King of Jin is appointed, all of these princes will be preserved."
After hearing this, Shangguan Yi admired the King of Shu so much that he fell to the ground.
Shangguan Yi thought about this matter for a long time before he came up with it.
Moreover, what he thought was actually not as thorough as the King of Shu.
Moreover, he is a counselor!
He is a counselor, but his thoughts are not as thorough as the master's. Why should he be a counselor?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but sigh and said: "Your Highness is so wise that you are almost a demon, but I am not as good as you!"
Li Min laughed and said: "It's just that my position is more sensitive and I think more about these things. In terms of government affairs, ten of my kings put together are no match for Shangguan Changshi."
In fact, Li Min truly admired Shangguan Yi.
In the original historical trajectory, Li Shimin finally made Jin Wang Li Zhi the crown prince.
Therefore, Li Min knew the direction of things in advance, so he could easily tell so many truths.
Of course, the current development has deviated from the original historical trajectory.
For example, Li Shimin did not establish a prince as early as possible, and Wei King Li Tai did not threaten Li Zhi.
But the key to establishing the crown prince is actually Changsun Wuji's support and the attitude of the Guanlong Group.
If they all object, Li Shimin will have to consider whether there will be any trouble after his death.
Therefore, Li Min was certain that the crown prince that Li Shimin most wanted to establish must be Jin Wang Li Zhi.
But with me in this life, things have a lot more variables.
Li Shimin had to carefully consider who he would make the crown prince in the end.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said to Li Min: "Your Highness, since you have seen it so clearly, why did you go to Chang'an and throw yourself into a trap?"
After hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min stiffened slightly and said, "Shangguan Changshi, do you mean that after I go to Chang'an, my father will take action against me?"
In fact, if Li Min wanted to rebel, he could have rebelled against Cui Shiniang many years ago.
In fact, he had a high chance of success at that time.
By this time, I'm afraid he has already become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Min really didn't want to do this.
Even he didn't like being the emperor.
Being an emperor is so tiring, it is far better to be a happy prince.
Of course, if you want to be a free prince, you also need strength and capital.
Li Min never thought about rebelling, nor did he think that Li Shimin would attack him.
This is the love between father and son, a family relationship where flesh and blood are connected and blood is thicker than water.
Li Min was not willing to speculate on this aspect. In fact, it was not that he could not guess.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, my subordinates guess that the Emperor may not take action against His Highness. Because he deceived His Highness into Chang'an for no reason and then took action, even the Emperor is not willing to bear such infamy."
Li Shimin's fortune was originally unfair.
Killed his elder brother and brothers, and forced his father to abdicate.
Then during his reign, his two sons rebelled against him.
This has already dealt a serious blow to Li Shimin's reputation. Li Shimin will definitely not want to bear the infamy of killing his son again.
