Chapter 153 Garland under the Mountain
In 1979, after we punished Yuehou severely, Yuehou became a lot more honest.
But they are still seeking revenge. In recent years, they have not only attacked Thailand and Cambodia, but also continued to harass us.
We are training with Vietnamese monkeys in the Laoshan area, which is called the Laoshan Round Battle.
In such a general environment, many novels and movies about fighting back against the monkeys were born, which shows the attitude of the people across the country towards the monkeys.
In January this year, the fighting expanded again. In April, we launched a counterattack. Because the soldiers lacked actual combat experience, we suffered heavy casualties. In July, the fighting reached its most intense moment. On the 12th alone, 61 people died in the Laoshan area.
Domestic media are paying attention to information about the southwest. After the number of casualties was revealed, the people across the country shared the same hatred.
Under such an environment, the old man surnamed Wang and his gang had to cease their activities. Once the Chinese people roar, there are really people who dare to deal with them.
In this era when there is no ban on robbery, domestic folk customs are strong. So this "hands-on" is really hands-on on the physical level.
That's why these bastards didn't jump up and down like they did later in the 1980s. Speaking nonsense is life-threatening.
In the evening, Liu Hongmin went to the crew to pick up Assistant Director Yang.
"How is the crew? Are you used to it?"
"Get used to it. This is not the first time we have cooperated with Beijing Film Studio." Assistant Director Yang's Hong Kong film is already very good, and the communication Not a problem at all.
"Don't worry, sir, with RTV shooting experience, we will be on the right track soon."
Liu Hongmin nodded, as long as we can shoot.
Just as the two were about to leave, a young actor came over. His face was a little tanned, but he was still much whiter than Liu Hongmin.
“Can I ask if it’s Comrade Liu Hongmin?”
Liu Hongmin laughed, he recognized the actor. The originator of the domestic "cream niche" is Tang Guoqiang.
"I am Liu Hongmin, hello, Comrade Guo Qiang."
Tang Guoqiang was flattered, "Do you know me?"
"Of course, I've seen your movie." Liu Hongmin asked curiously: "What's wrong with your face? Just put on makeup to play Bao Zheng. There's no need to tan yourself, right?"
Tang Guoqiang laughed heartily Said: "I am filming in the southwest."
"Southwest?" Liu Hongmin's heart moved, ""Wreaths Under the Mountains"?"
"Yes, it's "Under the Mountains" "The Garland". "Tang Guoqiang nodded, "You have read it... By the way, you are a writer, of course you have read it."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Although I rarely read other people's novels, this is my favorite. A must-read. "
"Wreaths Under the Mountain" is the most classic novel describing the war in the southwest. After being adapted into a movie, it is also a classic.
“Comrade Guo Qiang, when did the filming of "Garland Under the Mountain" be completed?"
"It just finished." Tang Guoqiang said: "I just came back from the southwest a few days ago. I was called over to film "Shaobao". "
Tang Guoqiang plays Zhao Mengsheng in "Wreaths Under the Mountain". He is a second-generation man who is cowardly, which fits Tang Guoqiang's image very well.
If Zhao Mengsheng hadn't shown the bravery of a warrior in the later stage, Tang Guoqiang might not have wanted to play this role. Although he has the skin of an idol, he also has the heart of an actor.
Liu Hongmin knew clearly that actors these days are very ambitious. Tang Guoqiang later played the role of Zhuge Liang from the "little boy", to the emperor, and finally to the teacher.
Tang Guoqiang said that the filming of "Garland Under the Mountain" went very smoothly, and Director Xie is still very artistic. Liu Hongmin inquired about some details, especially the contents of the script and interesting things during filming. This is equivalent to a market assessment to see if this movie is suitable for the Hong Kong market.
After making a certain judgment, Liu Hongmin said goodbye to Tang Guoqiang, and immediately found Lin Yong and asked him to help contact the film studio.
He wants to buy the Hong Kong copyright of "Garland Under the Mountain" to let the people of Hong Kong know about the war in the Southwest. By the way, make some extra money.
According to Liu Hongmin's assessment, it would be good if "Garland Under the Mountain" could have a box office of three to five million. So as long as the copyright does not exceed 500,000 yuan, you can make money.
I guess Shanghai Film Studio won’t be too demanding. One hundred thousand yuan would be nice.
Sure enough, Shanghai Film Studio quickly replied that the copyright could be sold, but they wanted to pay in Hong Kong dollars.
Nowadays, the whole country is grasping for foreign exchange. If there is an opportunity to earn foreign exchange, Shanghai Film Studio will certainly not miss it. Moreover, the price they asked for was not much, only 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
Liu Hongmin readily agreed and asked Ma Weidu to transfer 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to Shanghai Film Studio.
This operation of Shanghai Film Studio is somewhat out of compliance with the rules. But for the sake of foreign exchange, they can only break the rules.
"Garland Under the Mountain" will take another month or two to complete the post-production, and then Assistant Director Yang can take it back directly.
Liu Hongmin has no plans to go to Xiangjiang in the near future. Before going to the United States, he needs to take care of all the things at hand.
It was mainly Professor Tao's coursework. In order to catch up on his homework, Liu Hongmin didn't even have time to pay attention to Mr. Wang's ancient books.
After all, modern history is very recent, and there are too many preserved materials, many of which are contradictory. To sort out the context requires a lot of effort.
What Liu Hongmin lacks is hard work. He has too many things to do now, and it is difficult for him to focus all his energy on his studies.
In August, Liu Hongmin was finally able to escape. Random House has already taken care of the visa issue, and he can fly to the United States at any time.
Random House originally wanted to get Liu Hongmin a green card, but Liu Hongmin did not agree.
He doesn’t go to the United States often, so what kind of green card does he need?
This time, Liu Hongmin not only brought four security guards, but also asked Transformers Company to hire four bodyguards to protect him throughout the process.
It's not that he is afraid of death, but that there are too many Japs who want to kill him. The book "Lies" made him a thorn in the side of the Japanese hawks, and the hatred will not disappear until it is pulled out.
The United States is good at assassination and has killed several presidents. The Japanese did not give in too much, and more than one prime minister died.
Ito Hirobumi was assassinated, which is still justified. But the last two were assassinated, so how could there be nothing fishy about them?
Liu Hongmin is not afraid of official threats. With the support of Random House and Hasbro, the Japanese officials did not dare to take action against him.
It’s mainly the Japanese society. Even in the movie, the Japanese society seems harmless to humans and animals. But they acted as spies during the war.
No one can guarantee whether Liu Hongmin, who is close to Liu Hongmin to release the Japanese, is a member of the society. Liu Hongmin would also be dumbfounded if a homemade gun was produced.
After getting off the plane, Liu Hongmin went directly to the hotel without staying outside.
After the bodyguards checked the safety of the hotel, Liu Hongmin settled in with peace of mind.
The four hired bodyguards were puzzled. They couldn't figure out who else a writer could offend.
