Chapter 114 "Lies"
There is also some embarrassment here at Beijing Film Studio, but there is nothing to be done about it. This is a political task given by the above.
This film exchange with the Japanese will involve the filming of three co-production films, "An Unfinished Game of Chess", "Dunhuang" and "Qiu Jin". Because the relationship between primary and secondary is unclear, "An Unfinished Game of Chess" has an obvious story disconnect, and the mixed Chinese and Japanese bilingualism is not conducive to domestic audiences. You know, most of the audience at this time were illiterate and could not understand the subtitles at all.
However, Liu Hongmin will not remind Beijing Film Studio to dub Japanese lines.
Because he didn't see much reflection on the war in movies, and the regret of not finishing a game of chess was nothing compared to the pain of war.
However, I have to admit that this movie is still very confusing now. Moreover, the two countries are repairing their relations. Even if someone sees a problem, they will not ban the film for the sake of a small gain.
So, the best way is to let it be released and then the less people will see it, the better.
Lin Yong saw Liu Hongmin's worried expression and couldn't help but ask: "Hongmin, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing!" Liu Hongmin kept the film, "Brother Lin, this Let’s organize a movie viewing party as soon as possible in a few days! I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”
After going back, Liu Hongmin felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. He always felt that the Chinese protagonist in the movie was somewhat familiar. So, he picked up the information and started searching, and soon found a person who liked Go during the Republic of China.
The deeds of Mr. Wu are really wonderful. He became a nationality of an enemy country and came to China to work in the army during the war. If he hadn't devoted his whole life to Go and had a high prestige in the Go world, he would probably be labeled as Wang. This person is very complex, and he is not completely ignorant of political aspirations, otherwise he would not have rejoined the Republic of China citizenship in February 1949.
If Liu Hongmin were from Green Island, maybe we could still have some respect for him. But unfortunately, he is neither from Green Island nor a Go player, so he has no good impression of Wu at all.
Liu Hongmin has no evidence to prove that "An Unfinished Game of Chess" is adapted from Wu's deeds, and is worried that the movie will deceive more people.
Until 2024, the little devil has never reflected on the war, and even less so now.
So, the little devil’s lies must be exposed.
Liu Hongmin originally wanted to write a review article criticizing "An Unfinished Game of Chess". But considering that the two countries are repairing relations and the country also needs foreign investment, Little Devil is a very suitable choice. If the country's strategy is undermined at this time, the gain will outweigh the loss.
However, if you can’t write review articles, you can still write novels. However, it only needs to be covered in the skin of historical novels.
Historically, the little devils told many lies, and the biggest lie was the bad nature of the Chinese people.
Since modern times, the Japs have belittled the Chinese in public opinion, saying that the Chinese are sloppy, disorganized, spineless, etc., and often use the Japs as "role models" and "demonstrations." Attributing the gap between China and Japan in modern times to the "character flaws" of the Chinese people, thereby proving that "the little devils are better than the Chinese" creates legitimacy for their invasion and even annexation of China.
Liu Hongmin was instantly inspired. He had read a lot of information during this period. It records many places where the Japs launched the cultural war. From some clues, we can find that the Japs did not move in a day or two. It can be traced back to the period of Ito Hirobumi, who advocated peaceful evolution and annexation of China and North Korea, and the method was cultural aggression.
However, Hirobumi Ito was assassinated, and the Japs embarked on the road of conquest by force. Speaking of which, cultural invasion is more difficult to prevent than military conquest. Because at that time, 99% of the Chinese people were illiterate, and they were most likely to be brainwashed if they were told what they were told.
So, Liu Hongmin decided to use Ito Hirobumi as the protagonist and tell the story from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to 1909, when Ito Hirobumi was assassinated. In the past 15 years, Ito Hirobumi has made great efforts to launch cultural invasion. While he pretends to be friendly to China, he uses various channels to promote the bad nature of the Chinese people.
In the beginning, it was propaganda within the Japs to brainwash their own people and make them think they were better than the Chinese.
Just after the Sino-Japanese War, many Chinese went to study with the Japanese. They were influenced by the Japanese and were gradually led astray. Many of these people later became literati and began to help the Japanese publicize this incident.
After 1900, Ito Hirobumi decided to increase his efforts.
While he sent people to collect Chinese books, calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions, antiquities, monuments, artworks, instruments, specimens, maps, etc., he also spread rumors through newspapers and books. Use money to bribe some spineless domestic literati, let them act as pioneers, and preach that the Chinese are inferior to the little devils, so as to increase the young people's admiration for the little devils.
At the same time, the policy was relaxed to increase the number of Chinese students accepted, and groups such as the Black Dragon Society were used to bribe these international students. If the international students are willing to cooperate, then help them return to China to ascend to high positions and cultivate pro-Japanese forces.
In 1904, after the Japanese defeated Russia, the military power increased. This made Ito Hirobumi very angry, and he suppressed the military forces to prevent them from destroying the cultural invasion plan. While speeding up the progress of the plan, he helped Mr. Sun establish the Alliance to divert the attention of the Qing court and the great powers, so as to prepare for the Japanese to digest the resources of the Northeast.
However, the military forces were unwilling to be suppressed by Ito Hirobumi. When they learned that an assassin wanted to assassinate Ito Hirobumi, they specifically gave the assassin a chance to kill Ito Hirobumi.
After the death of Ito Hirobumi, the power of the Japanese army began to increase, and finally developed into a full-scale armed invasion. Although Ito Hirobumi's cultural invasion plan was preserved, it did not save the Japanese defeat.
However, because of this cultural invasion plan, China lost a large number of cultural relics.
After the outline was written, Liu Hongmin immediately began to search for himself, making the novel as close to historical facts as possible.
Professor Tao helped a lot with this matter. A lot of information was not accessible to Liu Hongmin, and Professor Tao helped to find it.
Professor Tao was a little worried: "Hongmin, what if you can't publish this novel after you write it?"
Liu Hongmin was not worried at all, "Isn't there still Xiangjiang!"< br>
If it cannot be published in the mainland, then take it to Xiangjiang. If Sanlian Publishing House is unwilling to publish it, he will publish it at his own expense. He didn't believe it. With his current fame, how could he not sell a single book?
Before "An Unfinished Game of Chess" was released, Liu Hongmin had already started writing a novel called "Lies: The Bad Characteristics of the Chinese People".
Liu Hongmin is planning to write a series of "Lies", and "The Bad Character of the Chinese People" is the first one. As for what to write in the second part, Liu Hongmin is not sure yet. However, he believes that in this era, he will definitely not be short of material, and the material will definitely come to his door.
