Chapter 93 Premiere
Feng Boqing was fifty-six years old and his ancestral home was Nanjing, Jiangsu. When he was young, he came to the United States to study. Later, he returned to China to set up a film company in Shanghai to shoot movies in Shanghai. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army occupied the concession and rushed to Chongqing, the rear of the rear, and continued filming in Chongqing.
After defeat, the National Government moved to Taiwan, and he was displaced to Hong Kong.
He was not familiar with the place and had no capital, and even survival became a problem, so he could only work as a photographer for a small film company. Liu Jinghui came to the newspaper to recruit people, and he took the initiative with the mentality of trying his luck. Unexpectedly, he not only found a job, but was also entrusted with an important task and directly served as the president of Li's Film.
Take pictures from Shanghai to Chongqing, take pictures from Chongqing back to Shanghai, take pictures from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to Vietnam. We have rich experience and many of the shots even American colleagues who participated in post-production gave thumbs up.
For him, today is the screening of the films of the Lee Film Department and the second starting point in his career.
For the big boss Li Weimin, today is not only the screening of the films of the Li Film Department, but also the day when the "beggar group" makes a brilliant debut and officially sets up a bowl of begging.
Compared with other countries, Washington seems a bit monotonous.
London is not only the political center of Britain, but also a major financial and cultural center; Paris is not only the capital of France, but also the fashion capital of the world; Beijing is not only the political center of China, but also the cultural center, and an ancient city of history and culture.
Washington, a "small town" with a population of only a few hundred thousand, has the biggest pillar "industry" that is politics. It is not easy to find some leisure and entertainment activities here - there are only two cinemas in the entire Washington, DC, but people have the opportunity to get close contact with politics every day.
There were only two cinemas in total. The members of the "beggar group" who were separated a few days ago, gathered again today, and were easy to find. At 1:00 noon, the personnel who were active in New York and New Jersey arrived and seized the time to set up booths in the hall according to the requirements of the Executive Chairman.
The US government's support for South Vietnam does not mean supporting Ng Diem. Despite the help of friends from the "Friends of Vietnam Association", Chen Wen-du and Chen Wen-du still hit a wall everywhere. They stayed in Washington for five or six days and only saw the assistant secretary of state and several members of Congress.
Uncomfortably treated and even not taken seriously, Chen Weng was a little depressed and helped move a poster-poster advertising board to the designated location. He turned around and asked, "Mr. Min, will President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles really come?"
"Since you accept the invitation, you should not be absent."
"What after you come?"
"Depending on the situation, if you have the opportunity, try it out. It doesn't matter if you don't have the opportunity. The key is that they can come."
The volunteers of the fundraising group made a great contribution with the help of the Catholic Church in the United States. They raised more than 30,000 US dollars in New York and New Jersey in just five or six days. The Chinese Youth and the Vietnam Youth Association are also remarkable, and they raised more than 50,000 US dollars and a batch of clothes from Chinese and Vietnamese Americans.
The Red Cross representatives were even more powerful, and they won $120,000 worth of medicine from the American Red Cross. However, the diplomatic missions got nothing, and Chen Wenzhen felt as if he had no face to see the elders of Jiangdong.
Just when he regretted agreeing to come to the United States, two American Catholic volunteers drove a few special guests.
They were waiting for them. Li Weimin was worried that he would not be able to catch up, so he greeted him and said, "Sergeant, I am very sad. Thank you for accepting our invitation."
The American soldier adjusted his uniform and raised his hand to salute, "Mr. Chairman, it is my honor to serve the joint meeting. The Captain entrusted me to convey his greetings and said that if there is any other need, please give him the telephone."
"Thanks."
Li Weimin shook his hand, then turned around, and the same Vietnamese woman who seemed a little nervous with her child said in a whisper in Vietnamese: "Ruan Shihui, I, the priest and the American doctor are by your side, and you don't have to be nervous no matter what you do later."
After taking a warship and taking a plane, taking a car, I went from North Vietnam to South Vietnam, and then from South Vietnam to the United States, except for the priest, there were all foreigners with high noses and blue eyes.
Ruan Shihui had never traveled so far, so she was really worried and scared. Thinking of the foreign volunteers along the way, and now seeing Mr. Min who can be trusted, I felt much more at ease, and hugged the child and nodded.
Wu Lijun came to her and exclaimed sincerely: "The baby is so cute, he is smiling at me!"
Yesterday, my fiancé said that the next task was to take care of their mother and son.
In order to eliminate Nguyen Shih Hye's nervousness as much as possible, Wu Lijun bought a piece of cloth yesterday and sewed a piece of Odai overnight to wear it. She really thought she was a Vietnamese girl. She was also a person of her own and a beautiful Vietnamese girl. Nguyen Shih Hye was more at ease and showed a rare smile.
Cardinal Sbelman and Senator Mansfield are today's "half masters" and come the earliest. As soon as the representatives of the American church at the "Joint Meeting on Refugee Relief" were introduced, they started to talk to Li Weimin enthusiastically.
"Child, we will invite all the people you want to invite. In another hour or two, half of Washington's politicians and media reporters will appear here. If they are screwed up, the whole world will know tomorrow." Mansfield reminded half-jokingly after reading the poster.
He had reason to worry about such a big scene.
Lee Weimin smiled sideways and said, "Senator, why don't you give you a separate screening before the screening, there is enough time anyway."
Mansfield was very humorous and made an exaggerated face: "No need, I prefer surprise, just like dismantling all the machines in the North Vietnamese factory to South Vietnam."
The Cardinal has always been concerned about the Catholic refugees of North Vietnam who retreated south. He knew the young man around him about the actions of the Hanoi Haipin. He was very confident in him. Looking at the photos on the booth, he sighed: "Child, you are younger and better than I thought. If the screening is successful and you will receive wider attention and sympathy, I will accompany you to Rome to hold another screening."
I went to the Vatican to play a movie and asked the Pope to watch it. Li Weimin couldn't help it.
As they were chatting, the Secret Service agents responsible for the president's safety arrived. Senator Mansfield's secretary and theater manager received them, providing them with a list of invitations and taking them in to check security measures. As soon as they entered, Congressional police and FBI agents followed one after another, and a large group of law enforcement officers in uniforms and casual clothes made the inside and out of the room mess.
There may be no threat from terrorist organizations, or it may be that this is in Washington. The security measures are far less exaggerated than the travel of the US president in later generations. They were completed in half an hour. After a supervisor arranged for each person to determine their respective positions, preparing to welcome the arrival of the President and Secretary of State and other politicians.
The invited media reporters, representatives of charity groups, members of the "Friends of Vietnam" and senior film critics came early. Under the greetings of Lee Weimin, Cardinal Sbelman, Senator Mansfield, Chen Weng and others, they watched the photos of refugees in the hall and enjoyed fruits, snacks and drinks provided by the organizers.
The president, secretary of state, speaker of the House, chief officer and secretary of defense came relatively late, almost at the right time, and did not give Chen Wendu a chance to talk to Chen Wendu. After a brief greeting by Senator Mansfield, he walked into the screening room surrounded by everyone.
The curtain was opened, the light went out, and a beam of light hit the silver tomb.
The logo and subtitles of Li's Film gradually blurred, and the picture turned from black to white. A scene of the Dien Bien Phu battle taken by a French reporter risked his life to be presented to the audience. The soldiers of the Vietnam League were rushing forward wearing helmets and hats, and the camera kept shaking.
At the same time, the music sounded and the melody poured out of the harp. It was so sudden, tragic, nervous, and had a heavy metal texture. It was accompanied by the scene of gunfire and bullets, which attracted everyone's attention, as if in a war zone filled with gunpowder.
The opening song uses Sa's "Devil Awakening", later movies "Time and Space Clues", "Assassination of Hitler", and "Pokemon Box" have all been used in trailers or the entire score, and they are often seen in NBA, professional boxing arenas and even in the World Championships of Gymnastics.
Just in a perfect way, the Vietnam League won the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and after the Geneva Agreement was signed, the Vietnam League troops were sent to take over several cities in the northwest. On this side, the Vietnam League troops drove into the city with great courage. People were in chaos over there. They ran, shouted, and the children cried, trying to escape as soon as possible...
Panoramic view, distance view, medium view, close-up, close-up, large close-up, various scenes intertwined quickly, making people breathless, nervous, afraid of people, and tragic. The music and pictures are extremely contagious. Many viewers were shocked, and after only a few minutes, some ladies were already showing fear.
