Chapter 302 The Daoist
Subtitle of this chapter: It is better to attract the masses than to please the elite!
……………………………………………
The sun on the sea level finally set and the screen returned to darkness.
"Click."
Our Master Yuan stood up and turned off the projector, but he did not turn on the lights, but still shrouded the interior in darkness.
As he expected, the sound of sniffing and blowing his nose sounded in the dark room.
In fact, the edited "The Lonely Girl in the Famine" was not the first time it was screened. When he went to Lyme House that day, Yuan Yanshu's friends and the film crew of this film took a sneak peek... That one cried.
It is said that the scene was quite chaotic at that time. The girls cried so hard that they fainted from time to time. The men were a little better, but their eyes were red after watching.
After a while, Collins said in a strong tone with a nasal tone: "Dr. Yuan, please turn on the lights."
As expected, the founding father of Ireland also became the eyes of a rabbit.
Yuan Yanshu asked with a faint expression: "Mr. Collins, how is this movie?"
"Very..." Collins thought for a while and said, "It's simply indescribable! I really can't imagine that movies can be shot at this level."
That's it.
Although "The Lonely of Famine" is not as groundbreaking as "The Birth of a Country", it crushes all the films of this era in terms of both spiritual core and artistic expression.
Especially after Master Yuan’s “post-production”, this movie completely subverts people’s concept of movies.
He even provided the silent version with subtitles for the same period, rather than just like the silent movies at this time, the dialogue was stopped and then played on the screen.
He rubbed his face with his hands, and his face turned cold and said, "So I can't let this movie be released in Ireland!"
"Dr. Yuan, I'm sorry. This is my decision."
Collins stood up and stretched out his hand to Yuan Yan and said, "Dr. Yuan, thank you very much for making this film for us Irish people, but... I'm sorry."
Well, this guy is indeed very calm and deserves to be a hero who can do great things.
But this will ruin my big deal!
Our Master Yuan put his hands in his pockets, and did not hold the other person's hand, but looked at him coldly and said, "Mr. Collins, you will regret it!"
"Maybe..." Collins shrank his hand and sighed, "Sorry for disturbing me."
He nodded politely to the two ladies, then patted his beard, who had not moved after turning on the lights, and said, "Gannon, we're leaving."
"..." Ganon stood up silently.
He glanced at Yuan Yanshu deeply, and still followed Collins out of the door without saying anything.
“FXCK!”
As soon as the door was closed, Yuan Yan couldn't help but come to a "F word".
At this time, Lilian Jish also asked at a loss: "I'm alas, what should we do?"
"How do I know what we should do?!"
Master Yuan lost his temper at his lover very rarely and said irritably: "Damn it, how did I know they would admit defeat?!"
He turned around and entered the study with a blue face, and closed the door with a "clang".
He was really, really, really, very angry at this time.
I have arranged everything and are preparing to risk my life to carry out the "Tai Sui Operation" personally. Unexpectedly, there is a big problem in the end and most critical link!
Like all developed industrial countries, the British Empire also encountered the problem of a decline in fertility rates at this time.
The decline in fertility rates has led to insufficient labor supply, and the growth of the middle class during the same period has made the problem of lack of lower-level labor even worse.
So the Irish people became "migrant workers" in the British Empire.
At this time, they were responsible for the most laborious work, such as porters at docks and stations.
Obviously, there must be many supporters and sympathizers of the Irish independence movement. After some rectification, an unimpeded logistics network will be formed. As the intelligence director of the IRA, Collins is managing this network.
Without his approval, how could "Tai Sui" transport his "cargo" to Ireland?
"Du, dumb, dumb."
After about twenty minutes, Yuan Yan was still ringing around the study with her hands behind her back, she heard someone knocking on the door. He was in a very bad mood and shouting at the door: "No matter who it is, don't bother me!"
I heard the big star say timidly: "I'm alas, I think you should still meet this gentleman."
"I said... OK!"
Master Yuan, who was a little calmer, knew that it was not his lover's fault, so he took a few deep breaths and opened the door.
"It's you? What are you doing?"
At this time, the "baseball cap" with no baseball cap was very serious and said, "Dr. Yuan, Mr. Collins will not help you, but our headless Knights will come!"
"Hmm? You will help me..."
Oh, I'm wrong again!
Yuan Yan suddenly realized that he had subconsciously treated the IRA as a regular force that was prohibited. In fact, on the contrary, this was a group of... It was a bit too much to say that the mob was a bit of a big deal, and it was just right to call it a straggler.
Because of his great fame, Michael Collins was even more famous than the IRA itself. The British side offered a reward of 10,000 pounds to buy any news that could catch or kill him. As a result, he got the nickname "Big Guy".
That's why he became the nominal "common leader", but it was only nominal.
This "Common Lord" is considered an elite, and even a super-era movie like "The Lonely of Famine" cannot fool you. However, the nominal subordinates of "Common Lord" do not have such a clear mind.
Well, this is like writing online articles. It turns out that the enlightened ones are very helpful.
It seems that I have been mingling among the elites and have forgotten his teachings of "don't leave the masses".
"Hahaha..." Yuan Yan, whose face immediately turned gloomy and laughed suddenly, walked up and held the other person's shoulder intimately and said, "Brother, your name is..."
"Ganon, Ganon Townsend."
"Very good, Mr. Townsend. Now go to my study to talk..."
Thursday morning, July 14, 1921.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Now we are going to separate for the time being."
Yuan Yan suddenly pointed to the big director and the big star and said, "Lilian, David. You will take the crew to Dublin now."
Then he looked at his friends and said, "Helen, John. I suggest you set off for Europe now and wait for us there."
Before the "Emperor" could speak, the "Queen" retorted first: "No, we have to go to Ireland too."
"Okay, let it go." Master Yuan curled his lips and nodded.
Then he said to the other two, "Emma, Louis. You must stay in London with me."
"Especially Emma, if you want big news, you have to stay in London!"
"His priestess" showed an excited expression and nodded fiercely. "The Pope's Crown" had no choice but to agree.
Our Master Yuan finally looked at his female secretary and said, "Aisi, where are you..."
