Chapter 4 Movies

ps: The second update for the leader’s “Bored Little Lion” is now owed a reward and 600 monthly tickets to be updated...

Before going to Germany, Hoffmann went to Switzerland to visit Vivian, who was placed in a very secret villa in the Lake Geneva resort. Her mother accompanied her. In addition to the servants, Contini also arranged 8 KSG commandos as bodyguards and spoke in Swiss German. They did not look so abrupt. This house was carefully selected by him. It was located at the end of the road and was very quiet. Behind it was a large woodland, with almost no too many idle people disturbing her. It was only 7-8 minutes away from the hospital, which was very convenient.

Vivian, who is 7 months pregnant, has a very obvious belly. Her face has been washed away from the dazzling young anchor and is filled with maternal love. Contini is very grateful for her resolutely selling all her stocks when she heard that United Group was facing a crisis and took back the funds to try to help her. She joked with a smile: "You have some impulsiveness, do you know? Now the American radio stock you sold has risen by more than $80, and the market value of all stocks is at least $8 million."

"Whether 6 million or 8 million... I never think that much is important, I can't use all the money..." Vivian smiled sweetly, "But you need to be able to help you! Besides, with you here, do I need to be afraid of losing money in the future?"

"Follower, I brought more than 50 million US dollars back from the United States!" Contini hugged her tightly in his arms, "Thank you no matter what... take good care of yourself, I will come to accompany you again in a while!"

After the trip to Germany, Contini returned to Switzerland. He wanted to spend more time with Vivian, but the telegram taken by Goebbels forced him to return to Italy. The movie "Leader!" will be officially released on March 18. Contini must not be absent from such a major occasion, whether as the boss of United Pictures or as the young flag bearer of fascist.

Although the content of the movie agreed upon at the beginning reflects the second anniversary of Mussolini's reign as the main clue, Goebbels cleverly extended it when he was in charge of filming the movie, integrating some of Mussolini's past deeds, especially the action of marching towards Rome, which looked very complete...

What is even more fascinating is that this film is the first color film documentary in Italy, and it is also accompanied by narration and music. Although it is still a little different from the complete plot movie and the time is only 47 minutes, the shooting skills and technical strength shown are extraordinary. Goebbels' personal guide to the shooting perfectly reflects Contini's request to highlight the leader!

"...There are always several critical periods on the development path of a country, and the critical period plays a decisive role. For Italy, the first important historical period was of course the end of the situation of small states and separatist rule by princes in 1870, and the national unity of modern Italy was achieved.

The second important period was the two years when Fascisti, led by Benito Mussolini, swept the Apennines and ruled the country in full. In the past two years, a series of measures have been taken by the new government, which has brought about earth-shaking changes in the face of Italy.

For two years, Fascisti has united and led the whole party and the Italian people, always holding high the three banners (one ideology, one political party, one leader), put forward and implement the strategic idea of ​​'realizing the great rejuvenation of the new Roman Empire', carried forward the spirit of enterprising and pioneering hard work, adhered to theoretical innovation, practical innovation, institutional innovation, overcome various difficulties and challenges, and created a new situation in various undertakings in Italy..."

With the commentator's ups and downs, Mussolini's inspections across the country appeared on the camera: He shook hands with all the supporters with a smile, reflecting the leader's approach to the people; he worked late at night, reviewing documents and writing instructions one after another, reflecting the leader's diligence; he traveled to 29 large and medium-sized cities across the country, laying the foundation for large buildings, launching new ships, starting new enterprises, and opening ribbon cutting in new schools, reflecting the leader's deep-roots and taking root in the front line; he visited orphanages, nursing homes, and disabled soldiers in winter, reflecting the leader's good intentions of caring for the needy.

The lens also shows Mussolini's achievements in internal governance: the problem of train missed Italy for many years was solved; public facilities that had been damaged by many years were repaired; new railways, highways, bridges, culverts, and buildings developed like mushrooms after a rain.

The narrator said in a marvelous tone: "In the two years since the leader was in power, the registered unemployment rate in Italy has been reduced from 27% to 6%, which has achieved the most people. The mileage of highways has increased by more than 1,400 kilometers, and the mileage of railways has increased by more than 500 kilometers; Italy's major industrial and agricultural output has rebounded in an all-round way and exceeded the best level before the war; a large number of backbone enterprises led by the United Group have stood out, innovating and opening up in various fields such as machinery, metallurgy, shipbuilding, and chemical industry. After the reform pilot, Italian workers have achieved an 8-hour working system for the first time and have initially realized the establishment of the social insurance system..."

This is of course a gold blotting on Mussolini's face. In fact, these systems are not promoted except for the United Group, but Goebbels cleverly covered them all with a sentence "reform pilot".

As a movie produced by United Group, we naturally have to seek some benefits for ourselves: the construction of United Group's various industries can be seen everywhere in the camera, and the slogans can be seen everywhere: "Finally unite around the fascisti with the leader as the core, and work hard for the great rejuvenation of Italy!" Then the workers spontaneously lined up to welcome Mussolini to come for inspection.

This kind of scene usually occurs at this time. Contini and Mussolini, wearing hard hats, walked side by side at the front, followed by a large number of people. Contini explained intently, Mussolini listened carefully, nodded seriously, and occasionally commented on the crowd or planning maps, such as "to build United Motorcycle into the best motorcycle company in Italy", "ibc is the signboard of the image of Italy's nationality, and must be done well!" and so on. At this time, Contini expressed his determination and his loyalty attitude must be extremely pious and respectful. "We must always keep in mind the teachings and expectations of the leaders, and constantly work hard to promote the various undertakings of the United Group to victory and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Roman Empire..."

Antonio, who was watching with him, gave a thumbs up in his heart. Dr. Goebbels's work skills were so good that he cleverly praised the young leader!

Finally, there is a clip that reflects the improvement of Italy's international image and status. The film makes a clever edit here: the first part is Mussolini boarding a warship and giving a radical speech with dancing hands and feet. The next part is the scene where the Italian Navy bombarded Corfu and occupied it repeatedly. The Italian army fought bravely because of Mussolini's mobilization. Coupled with the exciting music, the atmosphere of the whole audience was ignited.

This section was cut seamlessly, and even Mussolini himself smiled and applauded.

Then there was the signing of the agreement, Mussolini met with people from various countries and signed the cooperation agreement, and then ingeniously filmed a large number of workers working in Italy in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland and other countries. On the surface, it seemed to indicate that due to the strengthening of Italy's strength, a large number of foreign workers have attracted to work. In fact, those who know the inside story know that these are all workers from the United Group.

At the end of the whole article, it is a scene specially posed by Goebbels:

In Rome, in Milan, in Genoa, in Venice, whether workers, peasants, soldiers, intellectuals or students, there were excited crowds everywhere, raising their right hands to greet them: "Long live the leader!", and then Mussolini won the military uniform, signaling a wave, and accompanied by a magnificent voice.

"In this passionate melody, we hear the call of the nation, the shout of progress, and the drums and horns of battle... We will follow the leaders and strive to complete the great rejuvenation of the Roman Empire!"

The whole film is over now!

As the lights turned on, everyone stood up and raised their hands to greet: "Long live the leader!"

Although Mussolini had watched it many times in advance, the shocking scene still made him look radiant and very satisfied...
Chapter completed!
