This director is very reliable

Chapter 461 "The Untold Story" (34)

The opening scene of "The Untold Story" is Huang Xiaoming's appointment as the director of the Letters and Calls Office.

Then I met the most difficult old lady in the Letters and Visits Office, that is, Grandma Xi played by Xi Meijuan...

This grandma Xi has been reporting illegal incidents in the community for decades, ranging from illegal buildings to riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet. She has reported more than 20 cases in more than 8000 years, and was absolutely blacklisted by the petition office.

Grandma Xi runs a small tailor shop by herself. She is keen to meddle in other people's affairs, and has the demeanor of an idler Sister Ma, but there is almost no one around who appreciates it. She only finds this person difficult to approach and aggressive.

The director played by Huang Xiaoming is a well-behaved young man who abides by the rules and has only one principle in dealing with others, which is to act according to the rules.

Grandma Xi was used to being domineering, and the two had formed a relationship from the very beginning.

Director Huang's personality is indifferent and unreasonable, and he is extremely unhappy with his younger brother who is in high school.

Then my younger brother likes Grandma Xi very much, so he goes to Cengfan whenever he has nothing to do...

The two had room to touch.

Grandma Xi asked Director Huang to teach her English...

Then, one day, Grandma Xi’s best friend, Grandma Pan played by Teacher Pan Hong appeared on the stage. The two met and talked about the past. Grandma Xi can be with her.

"Americans don't care about us... I am Chinese, and the Chinese government will manage many things!"

"...You think too much, you have never been to the United States, you don't know many things! China's voice, the world will not pay attention, just like Amou's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", which cannot be screened all over the world!"

Grandma Xi was silent...

The movie follows the three-act structure of a commercial movie in an orderly manner. Letters and visits lead to character conflicts, and then the two sides are perfected, and the relationship between the main line and the branch line is developed smoothly.

Grandma Xi gradually learned English, and became a long-term friend with Director Huang, and her life seemed peaceful and happy.

But for a good story, that's precisely the calm before the storm.

The first climax of the movie begins with Grandma Pan's illness.

The secret that Grandma Xi had kept all her life was announced to the public from this moment on.

"Didn't you say that you must live a long life and kneel down to apologize when you see those bastards?"

That's right, Grandma Xi is a comfort woman survivor, she was only 11 years old that year!
The camera flashed back, it was a tragic experience, that is, a Japanese soldier walked into the room with a child girl on his back, and after a while, there was a heart-piercing scream...

Before her death, her mother told her to keep the matter a secret until she died.

Grandma Pan is dead...

Grandma Xi came to the top of the mountain in the outskirts of the small town alone, sat on the top of the mountain, with the breeze blowing, she muttered to herself, this is a scene of self-recognition:

"My mother abandoned me, how can I stand tall and be a man?"

"My poor child, you really suffered, you just tell me this before leaving!"

"Mom, are these things voluntary by me?"

"Mom, I'm so sad...Why should I bear the burden of other people's mistakes for the rest of my life?"

"Mom... I'm sorry, I have to say it!"

……

Seeing this, the whole auditorium was crying!
This is the sad memory of our nation...

Director Huang and Nazha, who was in charge of comfort women work, helped Grandma Xi to contact Professor Su Zhiliang from Shanghai Normal University. It just so happened that the China "Comfort Women" History Museum was about to be built. Professor Su Zhiliang invited Grandma Xi to unveil and give a speech...

On that day, a bunch of media magazines came, including overseas media and Japanese media!
Grandma Xi first gave a speech in Chinese, and then wanted to switch to English...but she was a little nervous.

At this time Director Huang asked her in English 'how are you? '

'Fine thank you and you?'

Then came an English speech. This line was the result of teacher Xi Meijuan reciting it for half a year...

More than that, here comes the climax.

A Chinese reporter asked, 'What evidence do you have to prove that Japan has done such a thing? '

Grandma Xi closed her eyes, then took off her blouse—showing her wounds in public!

"This is the evidence! I am the evidence! These are the knife marks left on my body by those bastards back then!"

"Whenever I see these scars, I think of those hellish experiences... You want evidence, and the living are the evidence! The souls of the dead will not rest in peace, and those who survive will be in the shadows for the rest of their lives!"

"I don't want much, I don't want any compensation, I just want their apology!"

"Is it really difficult to apologize? While we are still alive!"

"Is it really necessary to leave all these sins and burdens to future generations?"

All quiet...

At the end stage, all the foreign media who questioned the comfort women incident came to apologize to her, and Grandma Xi accepted them one by one, and then a Chinese media came and asked her how much she wanted.

Grandma Xi scolded them in Japanese...the other party said, we are Chinese, we are XX News!

Huang Xiaoming couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over: "Can you show some face? Grandma, let's go!"

Xi Meijuan was so angry that she blurted out a line that contained a lot of content, and she did not forget to point her middle finger angrily...

The movie ends here...

Then a subtitle appears:
On August 1991, 8, Kim Hak-soon of South Korea disclosed to the world for the first time the historical fact that Japan forcibly recruited women from Asian countries to serve as comfort women in the military.

On January 2014, 1, at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the spokesperson stated that the forced recruitment of "comfort women" was a crime committed by Japan during the Second World War, including China, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The serious crimes against humanity committed by the people of the invaded countries are hard evidence and cannot be denied.

Turn over, next page, only one paragraph: Till now, Japan Benzene has not made a public apology...

Open again, director: Wen Muye, screenwriter, planner, story: Shen Changlin, Han Jianu, Zhong Wei, Wen Muye...

……

On July 7th, Thursday, the single-day box office of "The Untold Story" was 10 million...

On July 7th, Friday, more than 11% of the films of "The Untold Story" were scheduled, 26 screenings were arranged in a single day, and the attendance rate approached 55%...

Single-day box office 6700 million!
"Transformers 4" has been played for three consecutive days. On Saturday, "The Untold Story" has a single-day box office of 7800 million. On July 7, the box office hit a new high on Sunday: 13 million!
In the first week and seven days, "The Untold Story" won 4.05 million box office...

Not only shocked the market, but even the producer Changlin Film and Television and the distributor Maoyan found it incredible!

This theme, this lineup, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it can sell well.

And when it was publicized, I didn't do anything special, just premiered normally, accepted interviews normally, and didn't even appear in "Everyday Upward" or "Happy Camp"...

It's not that the cost cannot be recovered, but I think the upper limit should be around [-] million...

　I'm about to cry, I've deleted it to 1800 characters, it still doesn't work...
