Respectfully

"I hope to learn animation production, I am fascinated by it."

In order to confirm the speculation in his heart, Li Jinyan had a long talk with Walter himself. Although it was a bit abrupt, Walter was very happy to clarify his ideals to the "big boss" of the company. He not only wanted to be an ordinary employee, but also Hope to be successful in business.He wants to learn painting and animation techniques from the Fang Brothers, and create his own animation works.

"I already have an inspiration, a pretty good story." Walter picked up the pen and drew a cartoon image of a rabbit on the white paper, "I'll call it Mr. A beautiful fairy tale."

Walter's explanation is very interesting. He not only conceived the image, but also edited the whole story, "At first, I thought of "Alice in Wonderland". When I told the other party what I thought, he reminded me that this is Huaxia, the story of Alice. It’s beautiful, but it doesn’t belong here. I asked Fang again, and then I learned a beautiful story in Chinese mythology. There was a girl who lived on the moon with a rabbit in her arms. The girl also had a neighbor who liked to cut down trees... "

Li Jinyan: "..."

The girl with the bunny?Neighbor who likes to chop down trees?

Chang'e flying to the moon?Wu Gang cutting laurel?

He should ask the Fang brothers, what did they say to this Yankee, how did such a good fairy tale get into his mouth and become so unpleasant?

Moreover, even if the story is "good", it is difficult for him to imagine what kind of story of Flying to the Moon would be produced by an American. Hua Mulan of later generations, regardless of the story, may be liked by some people in terms of the image of the characters, but Li Jinyan I can't accept it.

Different cultural backgrounds tell the same story, and there will always be "grounding" problems.

Disney's version of Chang'e?Li Jinyan simply sketched out an image in his mind, and decided to be Sparta.

However, Li Jinyan did not intend to extinguish Walter's enthusiasm for work. He just suggested that he communicate more with the artists in the animation production department, at least not to create a Chang'e with American characteristics.It is not necessary to have a fixed template to make an animated short film, and you can create it yourself.

"Thank you so much, Lee!" Walter seemed to be enlightened, and his excitement was overflowing, "I'm inspired again..."

"Let me interrupt," Li Jinyan raised his right hand, "If you want to learn more, you'd better learn Huaxia well first, regardless of whether you can read, write or not, at least you have to communicate well."

"Yes, Li, I will." Walter obviously hadn't returned to reality from his excited imagination, he picked up the pen again and began to draw on the paper, almost forgetting about Li Jinyan who was sitting across from him.

Li Jinyan smiled, did not disturb him, got up and went to the manager to run the company.

Walter is not the only foreigner working in Guanbei Film Company. As the company expands, it needs more and more talents in various fields. Coupled with the influx of European wage earners, it is often seen in Guanbei Film Company. A photographer with yellow hair and blue eyes, or a prop master with red hair. Among the actors signed with the company, there are also a large number of foreigners, and the largest number is Russian. Since "Soldier", Russian actors often appear In the war films shot by the company, there are also many French and Germans.

Even in the eyes of Chinese people, these high noses look similar, but in different environments, different clothes, you can still see the difference.

The most obvious example, the French in military uniform and the Germans stand together, giving people a completely different feeling, and you will never admit it wrong.

"Sakhalin Island", which Guanbei Film Company is preparing to shoot, is the film with the largest investment since the establishment of the company. The film is divided into three parts, and the time span is quite long. The script was jointly completed by Zhang Jiancheng and three other screenwriters.In order to present the most authentic side to the world, they went to Sakhalin Island to collect historical materials, asked local ethnic minorities such as Hezhe and Oroqen, and communicated with Russians living on the island.

The script written based on historical facts, even after artistic processing, still has a bloody smell that cannot be concealed.Anyone who has read it will have a feeling of being caught in the heart, wanting to cry out, but unable to make a sound.

The suffering of the Hezhen people, the resistance of the aborigines, refuge, betrayal, the arrogance, recklessness, and cruelty of the Russians and Japanese, although at the end of the film, the Chinese army drove the invaders away and took back the island, but what happened on the island Everything is bloody presented in front of the viewer.

Sour, painful, heavy.

All of this is by no means a film that can fully present it.

"It's better to divide it into several parts," Li Jinyan said to the manager of the film company and the director in charge of the filming after reading the script, "Don't worry, the funds will definitely be fine."

Such movies are not made for making money, but for more Chinese people to watch.

Although China has got rid of the suffering of semi-colonies, it is still surrounded by wolves, Europeans, Americans, neighboring countries with daggers, ambitious Japan, and even several island countries across the sea.

The gritted teeth and hard work of several generations, and the lives and blood of many soldiers, have brought us today's stability.

However, there has been a saying in China since ancient times that safety and danger are exchanged, and misfortunes and blessings are born together.Peace without forgetting danger, survival without forgetting death, order without forgetting chaos.

It is good to be kind and friendly, but history cannot be forgotten, and the sufferings suffered by the Chinese nation cannot be forgotten. Forgetting all these is the sinner of history!

After discussion, "Sakhalin Island" will be divided into three parts for filming. For this reason, several screenwriters including Zhang Jiancheng re-edited the script. After the actors are confirmed, the film crew will go to Sakhalin Island for on-site filming. The difficulties encountered can be imagined As you know, this is a challenge for all the staff, but no one raised objections or complained.

In the middle of selecting actors, there was a little problem. Japanese roles were not easy to find.

There are basically no Chinese actors who are willing to play Japanese roles. There is no other way. The director of the film company can only ask Li Jinyan for help and go to several mines in Central Siberia to select candidates.

Naturally, Yoshishang Oshima and the mine bosses did not dare to be negligent. They heard that they were going to work in a film company, and there was a commotion in the mine. Everyone hoped that they would be selected and get rid of their current lives.It's a pity that the power of election is in the hands of Oshima Yoshinaka. Compared with these miners, the Huaxia people obviously "trust" Oshima more.

After careful screening, the [-] Japanese recommended by Oshima were taken away, and the other miners still had to go to the mine for labor reform.

Leaving the film company, Li Jinyan went to the laboratories of Qiao Leshan and Ding Zhao. Ding Zhao was doing experiments, and Qiao Leshan was also researching and developing new antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. There was no free time. Li Jinyan just left a note to invite the laboratory The assistant handed it over, so I didn't stay any longer.

Lou's Pharmaceutical Factory has now become one of the largest manufacturers in China. Even after the war, orders from abroad are still coming in endlessly.What surprised Li Jinyan was that many foreign doctors had become very interested in Huaxia's traditional Chinese medicine, and came here from Europe to study whether it was "witchcraft" or real "medicine".

When the Spanish flu ravaged Europe and killed countless people, the Chinese soldiers fighting in Europe were safe and sound. Even the United States, which was far away by an ocean, was not allowed to board the bus without wearing a mask, but there was no news of a concentrated outbreak of influenza in China.

If it's not that the Huaxia people are lying and deliberately concealing it, it is that the Huaxia people have special prevention and treatment methods.

The American and British soldiers who had contact with Chinese soldiers all claimed convincingly that the Chinese were drinking a black soup.The Germans who had been captured by the Chinese army also testified that some of them drank the black liquid, which tasted terrible, but he was lucky not to be infected with the epidemic.Maybe it's because of his good health, or maybe it's because of the effect of this decoction,

After the German soldier returned home, he found that the army had been disbanded and there was no way out. With the idea of ​​giving it a try, he took a boat to China. Now, he has found a job and his family is living well.

In the concept of Westerners, black soup is equated with witchcraft and witches.

Some people say that Chinese people use witchcraft to cure diseases, they are a group of uncivilized barbarians.Others advocate a new crusade.Of course, the latter remarks were regarded as crazy words and were ignored directly.

Contrary to the above point of view, some other people have become very interested in Huaxia's traditional Chinese medicine.Pack your bags and come to China to explore the mysteries of Chinese medicine.

"The moon in China is rounder."

When Huaxia rises in the east and shows its strong wrist time and time again, this sentence will also become a "reality".

"It's snowing again."

Entering December, there have been several heavy snowfalls in Guanbei, and the car must be extra careful when driving on the road.

Li Jinyan leaned closer to the car window, took a breath, watched the water vapor gather and slowly disappear, the scenery outside the car window seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy, but extraordinarily real.

"Yan Shao, do you want to go back to the house directly?"

"It's still early, go to the shelter."

The driver agreed, and the car drove to the intersection, turned around, and drove out of the city.

After several rectifications and strict regulations and systems were formulated, the shelters in the six northern provinces have basically eliminated the phenomenon of aid money from North Korea.The federal and provincial governments also sent people to learn Buddhist scriptures, and after returning, they established a similar monitoring mechanism.

There are always deficiencies in people's hearts, and corrupt officials can't be killed. Even if there are lessons learned from the past, there will still be people who are lucky, or want money instead of life.As time passed, some issues that had been suppressed before gradually showed signs of rising, which aroused the vigilance of some people in the government.

There are legal constraints, but it still can't stop the greed of some people.Establishing a sound supervision mechanism may not be able to solve the problem fundamentally, but with a good start, it can always set up a model for future generations and give a wake-up call to those who want to follow behind.

Classes were in progress in the shelter, and a student wearing the uniform of Guanbei Middle School was teaching the children how to write.Since the precedent of Yang Pingting and others, the students of Guanbei Middle School and North University are all proud of being able to come to the shelter for internship and teaching.

Here, they can learn a lot of things that teachers and parents cannot teach them. Even if the conditions in the shelter are improved, there will be fewer and fewer children staying here, but the baton of this teaching is still being passed on in the hands of the students. .

To apply what they have learned, maybe they do not have the qualifications to teach and educate people, but it is enough to do their part for others.

John Pershing, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force, once said in a letter to his son: I want you to come and see what the real battlefield is like, see what I have experienced here, and let you know why the United States People want to go to such a distant Europe to fight, and let you understand what patriotism is.

During the European War, Marshal Lou had several contacts with this "Black Jack" who was known for his strict military management. Pershing was deeply impressed by the discipline and combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.They never seem to be intimidated when facing their enemies.

John Pershing wanted to know what kind of environment would cultivate such an army.

After the war, Pershing was invited to participate in the Huaxia military parade. He did not attend the banquet held by the Huaxia government. Apart from polite appearances, he rarely participated in diplomatic activities.Using his time in China, he visited several schools in the capital, Nanyuan Aviation School, Capital University, and several middle schools and elementary schools. If it wasn't for the time limit of returning to China, he would really like to visit Guanbei.

On the ship back to China, he decided to send his son to China to live for a while after he graduated from middle school.

However, before that, he must find a Chinese language teacher for him.

"Chinese people are very stubborn. In some respects, they are even more serious than Germans." A European who was looking for a job in China wrote a letter to a friend in Europe, saying: "Living here, learning to Chinese language is the first hurdle that must be passed. But God, this country is so big, there are many dialects, I am completely sure that when I go to see God, I will not be able to learn a third of them .”

Even so, in order to live a good life and get a green card from Huaxia, there are still countless wage earners going forward.

The slogan they encourage themselves is, all for life!everything is possible!

On December [-], the Chinese Parliament voted to pass a motion to normalize diplomatic relations with Germany and Austria.

Ten days later, Krippin, the former German Consul General in Shanghai, presented his credentials to the President of the Chinese Coalition Government and became the new Minister to China. Taudman, who was the Vice Consul in St. Petersburg before the war, also set off from Europe to serve as the German Consul General in the six northern provinces.

Following in the footsteps of Germany, Austria sent new ministers and consuls to China. Even though the Versailles Peace Treaty stipulated that the two countries should not merge, it did not restrict the two countries from keeping pace.

With the restoration of diplomatic relations between Germany and Austria and China, Soviet Russia also began to sit still.The Siberian government still has a Kudashov to support the facade, no matter whether the status is embarrassing or not, at least it can maintain contact with the Chinese government!

Under the instructions of the Soviet government, the representative of Soviet Russia who participated in the military parade, Pei Kesi, visited for several days, but he never saw Zhan Changqing. is ambiguous.I didn't say I agreed, and I didn't bite to death.

In the final analysis, it was impossible for Huaxia to establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia before the intervening troops of other countries withdrew from Russia, but they did not intend to leave the Soviet Union completely.After all, the Ulan-Ude Treaty is still there.

In the end, like Kudashov, Pei Kesi stayed in Huaxia with "unknown identity".In order to show fairness, he "enjoyed" the same "minister-level" treatment as Kudashov.

At the same time, Japan is also active.

On the one hand, continue to pay attention to whether the Chinese Congress is considering the proposal to accept Japanese government-sent students. On the other hand, try to contact Germany. During the Paris Peace Conference, Germany was divided by Britain and France, and Japan was seized by China and the United States. The most important thing is that in the Japanese concept, the two countries should have a common language.

"Sending overseas students to China is a must, but Japan also needs other allies."

Cooperating with Germany and forming an alliance with Germany, the Japanese not only think so, but also try to do so.

It's a pity that the Germans are not fools and have enough brains. Even if their own conditions are not good, they are not so downcast that they want to mix with Japan.

If Germany was in recession, Japan would have fallen below the poverty line long ago, and the Germans were not interested in going to Japan to help the poor at the risk of offending the Chinese.

The hope of the Japanese scorpion is doomed to fail.
