Expedition to Europe

After the film screening, Qin Zhiyuan met with all the main creative staff in the backstage as usual and held a symposium.

The director of "Life and Death Sniper" is Wen Kaixuan, a senior immigrant from the Republic of China. As early as ten years ago, he and Zheng Zhengqiu filmed the first feature film "Difficult Husband and Difficult Wife" in the Republic of China. After Lan Fang was established, Wen Kaixuan immigrated from the Republic of China to Lan Fang and successfully joined Lan Fang Royal Pictures, starting his independent director career.

In fact, all the main creative staff knew that the screenwriter of "Life and Death Sniper" was Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan certainly couldn't write a complete script in detail, and Qin Zhiyuan didn't have the time. Qin Zhiyuan set up a framework, and then Wen Kaixuan and others filled in the storyboards and dialogues, which led to "Life and Death Sniper".

However, just an idea is enough. With the performance of the audience at the end of the show just now, Wen Kaixuan has reason to believe that "Life and Death Sniper" will definitely bring Lan Fang storm again around the world.

"What is the purpose of our filming? We must make this clear. We are not trying to satisfy foreigners' curiosity by showing the real Lan Fang, nor are we trying to expose the dark side of society and express our own unique independence. What we want is publicity, influence, and people's recognition of the positive side reflected in our film after watching it, so that people will respect our Lan Fang and then yearn for her. This is the purpose of our filming." Qin Zhiyuan made a request to the main creative staff. Including Wen Kaixuan, everyone was recording carefully.

"For example, in this film "Sniper", we want to reflect the yearning for peace and freedom of the Lan Fang people, and win the recognition of peace and freedom from people in other countries, so that when they do something or say something, they will subconsciously have a tendency. No matter at any time, we must portray Lan Fang as the righteous side. No matter what subject we want to shoot in the future, even if it is the war against Siam or the rule of Japan, we Lan Fang are the righteous side, so that what we shoot will be meaningful." Qin Zhiyuan wants to create a 21st century American-style cultural invasion, huge and magnificent war scenes, tortuous love stories, picturesque and beautiful scenery, plus the moral ethics of family and country justice. Such a movie can beat all the "silent films" of this era and create a splendid culture belonging to Lan Fang.

"Uh, Your Majesty, for example, Japan, how should we start?" Wen Kaixuan still didn't understand Qin Zhiyuan's words thoroughly, or psychologically he still hadn't turned around.

The literati of this era have a kind of persistent cuteness in their bones. Once they have determined something, it is difficult to change. Some time ago, there were many reports about Japan in Western newspapers, most of which were negative. In this case, if you want to "turn black into white", you still need a certain artistic re-creation.

"This kind of thing is very simple. Find an ordinary Japanese family as the starting point, and describe how miserable their life was during the reign of the emperor. The men were sent to the battlefield, the women worked all day, and the children were left unattended. In the end, the family waited for a death notice, which can express the injustice of the emperor's war. Or take Lin Changen's perspective as the starting point. Lin Changen's tragedy is the reason for the start of the entire war. For this kind of thing, we should not dwell on the current situation in Japan. The film we make only needs to explain why Japan has fallen into such a field. The rest of the task can be handed over to film critics, let them explain-" At this point, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly remembered that there was probably no film critic in this era.

But it doesn't matter. If there is no film critic, you can get a group of film critics. Primary and secondary school students in Lanfang now write an essay like "Reading Notes", which is similar to the work of film critics. Invite several experts and professors, or more prestigious social celebrities, and let them write something to be published in the Daily News, which can not only make the ghostwriter famous, but also meet the publicity requirements, which is the best of both worlds.

The symposium did not last long, but it was very meaningful to Wen Kaixuan and others. At least it clarified Qin Zhiyuan's requirements for the Lan Fang film industry and determined the main theme of the film, which was enough.

Qin Zhiyuan could not be a screenwriter forever. Lan Fang Films still depended on Wen Kaixuan and others' efforts. Qin Zhiyuan guided Wen Kaixuan and others on the right path. As for how far they can go, it depends on Wen Kaixuan and others' luck.

The master leads the way, and the practice is up to the individual.

On the way back to the palace, Julie raised her own question: "Will you set a bad example for the children by calling a deer a horse like this?"

Julie was also present at the symposium just now. Misha had already taken the children back to the palace first, so now there were only Qin Zhiyuan and Julie in the car, and Julie's words did not have to worry about affecting the children.

"What does it matter? History is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. It is always written by the victors. We are the victors now. We can't do anything about morality at this time. Even if we take a step back, what we are doing now represents morality. Even if it is what Geraldine did in Japan, it was to prevent Lan Fang and Japan from fighting again in the future. There is no absolute justice and fairness in such things. There is only power and tyranny. Now we have the upper hand and the right to speak is in our hands. Of course, we should make the best use of this advantage - as for whether it will affect the children - of course not, because the children live in the world we weave. When the children have a certain ability to distinguish, they will understand us." Qin Zhiyuan spoke slowly and paused in the middle. It was obvious that he lacked confidence, but Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not give up because of this.

"Okay, I hope that the history books in the future can make us sound better -" Julie still didn't get the point.

"Haha, if it's Lan Fang's history book, don't worry, it will definitely be very nice. If it's from a hostile country, I hope they will do their best to slander us, which can only prove their fear of us." Qin Zhiyuan thought it through.

As Qin Zhiyuan expected, "Sniper" caused a sensation immediately after its release. The National Grand Theater played "Sniper" all day and night. Even the midnight show was full. Lan Fang Royal Films was working overtime to rush to produce film, but it still couldn't meet the market's requirements.

Not only the domestic market of Lan Fang, but also the film markets of the United States and European countries demanded to get the film of "Sniper" as soon as possible to meet the increasingly popular film market.

This is an era without television and computers. Movies are one of the few entertainment projects for people. How popular is the film market?

The interval between the screenings of Lan Fang National Grand Theater is only ten minutes. Almost as soon as the audience of the previous show leaves, the audience of the next show has already poured into the theater, leaving no time for the cleaning staff to clean up.

This situation is of course welcomed by Qin Zhiyuan. In those days, there was no concept of "cultural invasion" and people had not really realized the role of movies. Only Lan Fang was consciously and systematically exporting "ideology" in the world, and the effect was obvious.

On the second day after the release of "Sniper", Charles Mangin asked to see Qin Zhiyuan again.

Compared with yesterday, Charles Mangin's expression was a little more depressed. Qin Zhiyuan knew very well that Charles Mangin must have contacted Paris yesterday, so Charles Mangin should be more relaxed today.

"Want us to send troops to Syria? That's fine. Give up all your privileges in Guangzhou and guarantee the legitimate rights and interests of Lan Fang in Syria after defeating the Iraqis, then I will send troops immediately." The conditions proposed by Qin Zhiyuan were a bit harsh.

France enjoyed many privileges in Guangzhou. Strictly speaking, Guangzhou was a French colony, or the French were the emperor in Guangzhou. This not only made the Republic of China feel uneasy, but also made Qin Zhiyuan unacceptable.

Although Lan Fang and the Republic of China share the same origin, they are still two countries after all. Therefore, when France and Lan Fang maintained an alliance, Lan Fang was unhappy with France's privileges in the Republic of China, but for the sake of the alliance, it was difficult to say much.

But now it is different. Since France has terminated its alliance with Lan Fang, Lan Fang does not have to consider France's interests. It is normal to make such a request.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!

If this request is realized, an obvious benefit is that Lan Fang will get more immigrants from the Republic of China, and more high-quality immigrants.

As for Lan Fang's legitimate rights and interests in Syria, there was no such thing before. If Man Jing agreed to Qin Zhiyuan's request, it would be equivalent to France handing Syria over, which the French would never accept.

"You actually made such a request? You are really too much!" As Qin Zhiyuan expected, Charles Man Jing was immediately angered by Qin Zhiyuan's request.

While speaking, Charles Mangin had already stood up from his chair. Because of his extreme anger, Charles Mangin's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he stared at Qin Zhiyuan with a real gaze, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

"Don't be angry first. If it was us, Lan Fang, who were going to ask you, France, what conditions would you put forward? Would you help us unconditionally?" Qin Zhiyuan didn't care. He lowered his eyelids and looked at the teacup in his hand, and didn't accept it at all.

"No matter what conditions we put forward, they won't be so excessive!" Charles Mangin blurted out.

"Hehe——" Qin Zhiyuan laughed and didn't respond to such nonsense at all.

Not excessive?

Look at the colonies that France has all over the world. Are they all bought with money?
