Chapter 393.

The finalized film of “The Great Sword Wang Wu” is out.

It was sent to the Ministry of Public Works Bureau for review.

After being screened in a small screening room.

The Film Censorship Committee watched it and unanimously agreed that it could be screened and successfully obtained a screening license.

The film was about the defense against foreign insults and the overthrow of Manchu feudal rule, especially the story of Wang Wu and the “Seven Gentlemen of the Hundred Days”.

Naturally, this would have struck a nerve with some of the remnants of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, but this was Shanghai, where the Wang pseudo-government had not yet been established, and there was no so-called relationship with the pseudo-Manchu yet.

Although the movie contains a number of stories about Manchu decadence and the brutalization of loyalists, it was eventually granted a license to be shown in the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou.

But there was obviously no way the movie could be released in pseudo-Manchu.

That puppet emperor would not allow someone to use the movie to smear and denigrate their family’s old ancestor.

Cheng Mo also quietly had someone get two copies of the movie and sent them to his old home in the Northwest through the organization’s channels.

It was estimated that the movie copies would be on the road for at least two to three months before arriving.

By then, the Shanghai side should have been released near the end of the movie.

Then the Shanghai side or Hong Kong side of the movie theater to do a “copy” of the theft of the case, naturally, things can be covered up.

Movie prints are worth a lot of money, and whenever a popular movie is released, news of print theft is nothing new.

Especially since “The Great Sword Wang Wu” was released in many theaters at the same time, with hundreds of prints at a time, it was normal for theaters to lose one or two prints in the event of a theft.

After obtaining the screening license, it was time to organize screenings for theater managers and professional critics.

Evaluate the performance of the movie after the release.

Then comes the promotion and distribution.

This is the play of the later generations of movie releases, Cheng Mo appropriated it to this era, the effect is naturally excellent, just so play, some of the small production companies will not be able to follow.

Without strong capital and talent reserves, they need a quick return of funds before investing in the next one, otherwise, there is no way to live their lives.

Moreover, once the movie review is stuck, so much money will go down the drain, or even blood money, small companies can’t afford it.

Only a well-funded company could afford such an investment, even if it was just shot and couldn’t be released, it wouldn’t affect the company’s operation.

The main reason was that Cheng Mo, the boss, was rich, and he himself was a member of the Rental Film Censorship Committee, so who wouldn’t give him face if his company’s movie was released?

Besides, he himself could grasp the scale of the movie, avoiding those minefields that were easily censored, and wouldn’t give people a chance to catch him.

As for whether anyone has raised any objections? Very simple, when his company’s movie review, he took the initiative to avoid it, but this “avoidance” and how useful?

Anyway, there is room for maneuver.

Lao Miao called, Shen Mo has something to report.

Cheng Mo at noon on the pretext of eating from the arrest room, came to the old Miao’s grocery store.

“Knowing the news, he is now following Chen Mingchu, the former assistant secretary of our Junta’s Shanghai district, Chen Mingchu was summoned by Lin Shiqun yesterday, and when he came back, he gave them the task of sending manpower one after another to enter the tenement to step into the area, and to monitor and follow Mr. Mao, the head of the Vocational Rescue Society.” Shen Mo said, “It looks like they are trying to get at Mr. Mao.”

“Got it, tell ZhiDi to report any situation at any time!” Cheng Mo commanded in a deep voice, 76 plotted to assassinate Mr. Mao, which he had long been mentally prepared for, but he didn’t expect that this task would be carried out by Chen Mingchu in charge.

“Zhi Zhi asked, if Chen Mingchu ordered him to carry out the assassination mission, what should he do?” Shen Mo asked.

“Avoid the key points.” Cheng Mo thought carefully and spoke slowly.

“Understood.” Shen Mo nodded, of course he knew that Mr. Mao was a communist party, but this was in Shanghai, and it was naturally a good thing to have one more force in the rented world to fight against the Japanese and the hypocrites.

Even if they were once enemies, they were natural allies at the moment. ……

Since No. 76 has the idea of assassinating Mr. Mao, they should be implementing it soon, right now the charity sale they are organizing will start on the weekend.

Cheng Mo naturally couldn’t just sit back and watch.

At that moment, he reminded Tang Tao to go and give a heads up to Senior Wen Qiu, and it would be best to have someone find a way to remind Mr. Mao to take care of his safety.

That was all he could do.

He didn’t belong to the same line as Mr. Mao, and interfering too much would easily expose himself and cause trouble instead.

Lu Jingshi re-entered the Lone Army Camp and after meeting and discussing with Xie Zhongmin’s, he was clearly told that the British side had agreed.

The Japanese side also said that it could, but the release of personnel can not be publicly reported, there are still some people shall not be released, mainly the officers of the lone military camp, these Japanese have long held the list.

Cheng Mo originally wanted to get one-third of the first batch out first, but the Japanese side disagreed and cut the number, only allowing about sixty people.

Sixty people on sixty people, although with the ideal is quite far, but this step started, the next will be much better.

If there is a first batch, there will be a second batch.

Cheng Mo didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so it was best to do it in secret.

Lu Jingshi brought back a list of 60 people, Cheng Mo saw a few familiar names in it, but none of the people he really wanted to save.

For example, the battalion commander Yang Ruifu, he also knew that it was hard to get the officers of the Lone Army Camp out now, if it was back when the Lone Army Camp was first built, there was still a chance, but at that time, he simply couldn’t talk Yang Ruifu out of going with him.

According to Cheng Mo’s request, the information of all the officers and soldiers who were freed had to be given to him, he had to understand and grasp the situation of these people.

Of course, there was also the roster of all the officers and soldiers of the Lone Army Camp he also took this opportunity to have the people inside transcribe a copy for him and brought it out.

These materials were all witnesses to history, and the names of these people shouldn’t be forgotten.

Friday night.

The gates of the Lone Army Camp were wide open.

Quantities of cars and trucks were parked at the gate.

The Japanese secret service sent officers, the political unit of the police department of the Bureau of Public Works and the White Russian Volunteer Corps, plus Lu Jingshi on behalf of the Chongqing side ……

The three parties witnessed together.

Cheng Mo naturally could not appear, he is only the center contact person, such a scene, he is not able to appear.

All sixty officers and soldiers of the Lone Ranger Battalion took off their uniforms, voluntarily gave up their military status, changed into civilian clothes, brought their personal belongings in a long line, and slowly walked towards the battalion gate.

There are also very sick, lying on a stretcher, letting people carry, crutches, limping, the most painful and brothers two a go, a left behind ……

More than two hundred remaining people in the camp, looking at these departing fellow soldiers, faces solemn, silent.

Perhaps, this goodbye was goodbye forever.

Lin Shiqun’s reaction is also fast enough, just he did not expect, the release of some of the soldiers and officers of the lonely military camp this matter will be so fast to reach an agreement, and will also be so fast into the line, this efficiency is unprecedented efficiency.

The article here, so that Lin Shiqun smelled a hint of unusual flavor, the Japanese decided things, he wanted to stop can not do, not to mention the lone battalion in the lease, 76 again powerful, and now do not dare to easily barge into the lease to cause trouble.

Can only whine and express their dissatisfaction.
