As the boss of the film company, Lin Zixuan made a decision, and this matter was decided. [The novel is updated quickly and there is no pop-up window. Please search]

Everyone was very excited. The investment of a movie was 200,000 yuan, which is definitely a record in the Chinese film industry.

200,000 oceans are nothing in the hands of warlords, but they are just that in foreign business.

In 2013, HSBC spent 10 million taels of silver to build an office building in Shanghai, which shows that it is rich and powerful.

But compared with the lives of the people in this era, this number is too large.

The average monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Shanghai is less than 30 yuan, and a worker will earn less than 200,000 silver dollars in his lifetime.

In the Chinese film industry, a silent film is only a few thousand yuan, and most audio films are tens of thousands yuan, and few movies invest more than 50,000 yuan in a movie, and only celebrity film companies dare to try it.

This news will definitely cause a sensation.

Lin Zixuan is very clear about the current situation of Chinese films.

If he shoots a movie of 200,000, he will be considered crazy or considered a prodigal son.

But this is a good publicity stunt.

Anyway, he just claimed to invest 200,000 yuan, and the money was not spent at that time, and it would still be in his pocket.

He was stimulated by "Gone with the Wind" and wanted to try shooting Chinese-style blockbusters. The pay for Chinese actors is not high and can spend huge amounts of money to shoot naval battle scenes, a large-scale war epic movie.

This will be a benchmark for Chinese films.

Moreover, he can also show Japan's ambition to invade China through this movie, which is worth it even if it is not profitable.

Lin Zixuan is naturally responsible for the creation of the script, but he can only write an outline.

In the later film "The Battle of Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895", Deng Shichang's experience is used as a clue to tell the process of the creation of the Chinese Navy.

In 1877, a group of young students boarded Shanghai to the UK with the dream of a strong country and entered the Royal Naval Academy.

There they boarded the latest warships, learned the most advanced knowledge, and drove back to their motherland in the Qing government's iron-armored ship with a large amount of money.

There were also a group of Japanese students there. With the ambition of a strong country, they also drove the Japanese government's warships to the distant east. The young Japanese emperor was waiting for them.

The battle between the two countries begins here.

The Qing government was corrupt. Although Guangxu wanted to make a move to strengthen, it was Cixi who was in power, and the reform failed.

The Japanese Emperor promoted the Meiji Restoration and established a constitutional monarchy to make Japan stronger.

The ambition of invasion and expansion finally led to the war in Japan. In order to make the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese army invaded China on a large scale and carried out a massacre that exterminated the entire city in Lushun.

At this time, there was a lot of joy in the Summer Palace in Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi's sixty-year-old birthday ceremony was in full swing.

The specific storyline is the responsibility of the company's screenwriter, and a lot of historical records must be consulted.

What Lin Zixuan cares about is not the plot, nor the fierce naval battle, or the national hero Deng Shichang. He wants to tell the truth about Japan's invasion of China through the Japanese emperor in the movie.

Japan has a small territory and insufficient resources. If it wants to strengthen itself, it must invade its neighbors.

This is the truth about the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the future Japanese invasion of China.

It’s a very simple truth, but unfortunately many people don’t understand it. Especially those international students who have returned from studying in Japan, who believe that Japan is a friendly neighbor and will not invade China.

Or they are unwilling to believe this in their hearts.

Lin Zixuan wants to use this movie to remind the Chinese people. Will a powerful Japan not be moved when looking at a weak China?

Of course, he would not write this plot into the script, but would put it in the end and add it in. He did not want the Japanese to obstruct it.

It can be foreseen that as long as the celebrity film company announces the plan to film "The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895", it will attract high attention from the Japanese and use various means to prevent the filming of the film.

In this case, the movie script will inevitably leak out. Japanese spy agencies may even penetrate into the company.

Japan's espionage activities in China have long been happening.

In 1914, Japanese Soba Kotaro established the first Japanese news agency in China Oriental News Agency in Shanghai.

This news agency was nominally founded by Japanese civilians. In fact, it is a Japanese institution responsible for collecting Chinese intelligence.

Sobaya Kotaro came to China in 1884 and used the Hankou Leshantang Pharmacy as a base. He traveled to nine northern provinces to collect information.

In 1890, he assisted Ayao to establish the Nissin Trade Institute in Shanghai, serving as student supervisor. He was also commissioned by the Japanese Navy Province to engage in intelligence work in China.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he served as the Japanese translator and risked his life to sneak into the Weihaiwei Port to reconnaise Chinese naval intelligence.

After being exposed, he successfully escaped and made great contributions. He was invited by the Japanese Emperor to be exceptionally received by the Japanese Emperor.

If Lin Zixuan wrote a plot that was not conducive to Japan in the script, the Japanese would do their best to prevent the filming of the movie, and even use violent means, so he temporarily kept it in his mind.

He would release a less intense script, with the content of the story within the scope of the Japanese being able to accept.

In China, it is hard to stop the filming of China's history and praise the Chinese national heroes.

But when the actual shooting is done, it may not be based on the script.

For example, the Lushun Massacre, Japan made careful arrangements to cover up the truth.

In June 1894, the Japanese Army Province and the Navy Province jointly issued an order to strictly prohibit all newspapers and newspapers from publishing military news to avoid leaking the Japanese army's attempt to invade China.

After the Lushun Massacre, the British Central News Agency and Reuters were successively bribed by the Japanese and did not send relevant messages.

Only the British Times and the American Le Monde published a small amount of news.

Lin Zixuan needs to take great risks to present this atrocity in the movie, but as long as the Chinese can see the true face of the Japanese, it is enough.

He found Zheng Zhengqiu and Hong Shen and told his thoughts.

His intentions cannot be hidden from the director, and the director needs to execute them. He will first shoot other parts of the movie, and the Lushun Massacre and the speech of the Japanese Emperor must be filmed secretly with someone who can trust.

They need to discuss a proper way.

After the movie is released, it will be too late for the Japanese to make trouble again.

After hearing Lin Zixuan's words, Zheng Zhengqiu and Hong Shen became serious. They realized that this movie was not a simple naval battle, nor was it to praise national heroes, but to expose Japan's atrocities invading China.

Lin Zixuan and the two have been friends for many years and know that they all have a national affection and are trustworthy.

Zheng Zhengqiu believed that the strategy of building a plank road openly and spreading Chen Cang secretly was to shoot two movies, one to deal with the Japanese and the other to final screening.

He was filming the naval battle in the light, and Hong Shen was filming the scenes of the Lushun Massacre.

Use Zheng Zhengqiu to attract the attention of the Japanese and ensure that Hong Shen’s shooting is not affected.

The three of them discussed for a long time and formulated a set of strategies to mobilize all the company's resources to ensure the smooth progress of the video.

Afterwards, Lin Zixuan was quite moved. The filming of a movie was like a spy movie, and this was China at this time.

Since you are going to make trouble, it will be known to everyone.

On the second day, the news that Shanghai Star Film Company invested 200,000 yuan to shoot the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 made headlines in major newspapers. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
