Compared with the difficulty of choosing among ordinary audiences, those celebrities are even more distressed.

Ordinary audiences can choose one of the movies based on the promotion in the newspaper, personal likes and dislikes, etc. Anyway, they tell the same thing, so just watch it once.

The movies produced by celebrity film companies have always had a good reputation, but Zhang Shichuan is also very famous in the Shanghai film industry.

Moreover, Huaying worked very hard in publicity and used real warships as gimmicks.

In order to attract audiences, the Grand Theater of Calden even held a lottery event, and the winners can go to Japanese warships for a one-day tour.

While promoting itself, Huaying did not forget to attack her opponents and criticized the films of celebrity film companies for being shoddy and filmed in the swimming pool, and used props and models.

Lin Zixuan, who came from later generations, would naturally not be frightened by this formation.

Later film companies can be said to be doing everything they can to promote, and they can think of any tricks.

Lin Zixuan advertised in the newspaper, and as long as the audience who watched the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 will give the star's signature poster, and there will be a chance to have close contact with the star's actors and take photos together.

He also criticized the Sino-Japanese War as a movie made by the Japanese, and Zhang Shichuan was a puppet of the Japanese, calling on the Chinese not to watch Japanese movies.

Although there is a saying of "traitor" at this time, it has not been popularized yet and its meaning is relatively vague.

The propaganda war between the two sides is full of gunpowder, making it difficult for ordinary audiences to choose.

For celebrities, this is a team.

Two movies are screened at the same time. Which movie you watch means that you tend to be on that side and there is no way to take advantage of it.

Faced with invitations from celebrity film companies and China Film Company, some people simply pretended to be sick and did not go to either side.

Lin Zixuan has a great influence in Shanghai, and the Japanese have a wide range of friendships. Both sides compete for their connections and background.

Lin Zixuan specially asked someone to record the Shanghai celebrities who went to the Calden Grand Theater to support the Japanese. This is not to settle the score after the autumn, but to make himself be careful of these people in the future and not to date them.

Through this movie screening, you can see the political tendencies of many people.

On December 31, at 7:00 pm, the storm of Sino-Japanese War was on time.

Because of the preview, media reporters wrote reports and film reviews in newspapers and spoiled a lot of content. The audience was mentally prepared. Even so, Lin Zixuan strictly prohibited minors under the age of sixteen from entering the venue.

According to the censorship system of the Film Association, he classified the film as a rating that minors are not allowed to watch.

Many people in the film industry think that it is too strict, it is just a war movie. What can’t be watched?

Lin Zixuan cannot say that there are clips of the Lushun Massacre in the movie, which will cause harm to the children.

The movie begins to show.

The first half of the Sino-Japanese War revolves around Deng Shichang, focusing on his growth, study and employment.

In this process, the origin and development status of the Qing Dynasty navy were introduced.

Next, we compare the attitudes of the top leadership of the Qing Dynasty and Japan towards war.

One is the old empire that is shining, the other is the modern country that is about to emerge, one is timid and the other is warlike.

Cixi was squandering her money, while the officials of the Qing government were filling their pockets, but the Japanese emperor was giving passionate speeches to his subjects.

Through the Meiji Restoration, Japan left Asia and entered Europe, and began to embark on the path of capitalism. The national strength became increasingly stronger.

In 1888, the Japanese industrial revolution emerged, and foreign commodity exports and capital exports were urgently needed.

However, as an island country, Japan has a scarce resource and a small market. Therefore, the Japanese ruling group, which is based on the emperor, is eager to find a way out of external expansion.

Therefore, the Japanese General Staff formulated the "Qing Dynasty's expedition strategy", which was Japan's earliest combat plan to invade China.

In the movie, the Japanese Emperor Meiji told his ministers that Japan's intention to invade China.

In order for Japan to survive and become more prosperous, it is necessary to invade China and even the entire Asia.

This part of the Emperor's speech was filmed by Hong Shen in Guangzhou. The Emperor of Japan and others were all played by students from the Drama Club of Fudan University.

This student who plays Emperor Meiji may have participated in demonstrations, street speeches and other activities before. His passionate performance in the speech was very shocking.

At this time, there was a noise in the audience, and it was the Japanese ronin protesting.

Although the Japanese had participated in the preview, they were not relieved of Lin Zixuan, so they sent Japanese ronin to participate in the screening, making a fuss in the middle of the movie screening, which affected the audience's emotions.

Most Japanese ronin are poor samurai or rascals who cannot survive in Japan.

They came to China with merchant ships to do some smuggling transactions or fighting and killing for the Japanese in China.

The Japanese ronin was very surprised when he saw the Emperor's speech, especially when he heard the content of the speech.

Even if the Chinese actor who played the Emperor was in Chinese, he could still feel Japan's ambition to invade China.

Lin Zixuan arranged personnel in the theater and stared at the Japanese ronin. When he saw that they wanted to cause trouble, he stepped forward to stop them.

These people were under Feng Jingyao, who were stumbling in the French Concession and were more ruthless in the fight, dragging the troubled Japanese ronin out of the theater.

The movie continues to be screened, the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle is about to begin, and the fuse of the war has finally come.

In 1894, the Dongxue Party Uprising broke out in North Korea, and the North Korean government troops retreated step by step and were forced to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty.

Japan believed that the time for war had come, so it tempted the Qing Dynasty to send troops to North Korea, which led to the exchange of military force between China and Japan in Korea.

In the theater, when they saw Beiyang warships sinking by Japanese warships, the audience was extremely angry and depressed.

These sunken warships are all prop models, but they are made more realistic.

During the melee, the Beiyang Fleet's "Zhiyuan" ship that had been rushing forward was hit by concentrated bombardment by Japanese warships such as Yoshino and Takachiho. They were injured in many places and their hull was tilted.

At the critical moment, Deng Shichang said angrily: "The Japanese ships rely on Yoshino. If they sink, they will be ships, and our army can gather things."

So he ordered the Zhiyuan ship to crash towards the Yoshino, intending to die together.

Here are a few close-up shots for the officers and soldiers on the ship. Everyone looks straight ahead without fear, and holds the will of death.

When the audience saw the scene of the officers and soldiers on the Zhiyuan ship fighting to the death, they were all excited and applauded.

This is the movie.

In reality, Deng Shichang may not have ordered the impact of Japanese warships, and there may have been officers and soldiers who are afraid of death, but in a movie that promotes patriotism, they must do so.

As long as the audience is infected by patriotism, the film will be considered successful.

With the sinking of the Zhiyuan ship and Deng Shichang's death, the Beiyang Navy was almost wiped out, and sad music sounded.

The audience is immersed in a sad atmosphere and is waiting for the finale of the film.

However, the picture changed and came to Lushun City.

In the black and white movie, a touch of red appears, and a little girl in red clothes is walking in the crowd.

Although it is a lively market and people come and go, it gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling. It seems that something bad is about to be born, and the little girl is more like a ghost or ghost

It attracted the attention of the audience in an instant. (To be continued.)
