Chapter 1512 – What Soviet-German Alliance
“The real golden age of Xiangjiang movies has come.” Walking out of the movie theater arm in arm, Alan Wilson said to Xia Meng beside him, “It turns out to be nothing more than a featured movie of a region, this one is kind of a sensation. It’s eye-opening, and if you don’t mind, having Mr. Jack Cheng come to London will help build a stronger influence.”
“You think so highly of him.” Xia Meng covered her mouth, wasn’t this how she was treated when she came to Europe, after her there were quite a few other teenage stars in Xiangjiang who tried to follow her route, but all failed.
Of course it will fail, the supreme authority and did not grow a few more waists, if Xia Meng route is so easy to succeed, Alan Wilson is likely to not live to retire.
“It’s not bullish, it’s Mr. Jack Sung himself who fought his way out, maybe the help at this time will be an honor for me in the future.” Alan Wilson replied in a concise manner.
If you do not consider the difference between men and women, Jack Cheng is at least considered to be a star at the level of Vivien Leigh and Taylor, and it is only possible that the status is higher and not lower.
Even if Bruce Lee is alive, Jack Cheng can also go out of his own style, after this year, Jack Cheng in the Xiangjiang movie actors is the existence of a unique class, the pay is nearly twenty times the second place.
Although Xiangjiang always blow their own what international superstar, in fact, Xiangjiang from beginning to end of the international superstar is only one, the other stars are just Hong Kong film filter, Jack Cheng is really strong.
As for the twenty-first century, a group of Hong Kong stars and Netflix mingled together, that is even more no brand, the only can be described as a wide audience of young and old and Liu Tian Wang.
Alan Wilson let Xia Meng play a role to promote the younger generation, is not to take care of the just bursting into flames Jack Cheng, as he himself said, maybe this is the British film industry in the advantage.
Taking advantage of the booming Xiangjiang film industry as a booster, self-painting while pretending to be able to compete with Hollywood.
Xia Meng thought her man was being modest, but Alan Wilson frankly stated that it really wasn’t the case, and Xia Meng really didn’t know how high this kung fu kid who had just exploded onto the scene was going to be in the future.
He is also not worried about pulling the plug, if not mistaken, Jack Cheng should have been running for quite a few years, starring in the movie all box office flop.
In the era of Shaw’s films there is no opportunity for Jack Cheng to shine, this is the era of Dillon Jiang David, fortunately, now Shaw’s films are also fading, Sir Run Run Shaw, no surprise, will focus on the development of television drama in the future, to open the props to pass on three generations of Hong Kong drama era.
Xia Meng in Alan Wilson’s assurance, go to contact Jack Cheng, at this time Jack Cheng belongs to just burst into flames, has not yet got rid of the traditional Hong Kong film company, but also wait until the release of Drunken Fist to have the right to speak, Alan Wilson can help to directly omit this step, so that its earlier to establish its own right to speak.
Let Xia Meng to operate this matter, Allen Wilson and Callaghan to discuss the trip to China, in fact, the Labor Party in power instead of avoiding suspicion reasons, deliberately avoid contact with hostile camps.
The first British prime minister to visit China as party leader was Heath, and the first sitting prime minister to visit China was Margaret Thatcher.
Adderley had originally visited China in history, only in a private capacity. As for this world, Adderley had not visited China because he had been prime minister for a long time.
So for being the first incumbent prime minister to visit China, Callaghan was a bit hesitant, while Allen Wilson conveyed the business community’s expectations for the prime minister to improve the relationship between the two countries, “Prime Minister, the British Empire is essentially an Asian country, although our homeland is in Europe. Entrepreneurs from many industries are looking forward to this trip.”
Alan Wilson considered how it was important to be one step ahead of the Japanese Prime Minister, or else all the benefits would be swallowed by the Japanese, and egged on by the Cabinet Secretary, the Prime Minister also felt that a new chapter in the relationship between the two countries was in his hands, and that he himself would surely be remembered for it.
“I will make detailed arrangements for the Prime Minister’s trip to make this a relaxing visit.” Allen Wilson said with a twist, “Of course we must take into account the Soviet Union’s perceptions, that is inevitable. It will require mature diplomacy, but I believe the Foreign Office is very much looking forward to working towards that end.”
Appeasement of the Soviet Union was a must, and Allen Wilson decided to do it himself, talking about preparations for the Moscow Olympics, for example. That said, the last two Olympics have seen the U.S. become more and more intentional in its technological rivalry between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and it is clear that the U.S. is no longer a match for the Soviet Union in the Olympic arena.
This is simply outrageous, the Olympic Games such a big stage, the United States time and again ranked second that does not mean that now the United States is not the Soviet Union’s rival? The United States can certainly find 10,000 reasons, but the second is the second, find how many reasons, the United States can not turn themselves into the first.
Jack Cheng opened the trip to London, Allen Wilson is for the visit to the Soviet Union to make preparations for the reception of the international superstar of the candidate naturally by the Chairman of the Commonwealth Film Association Ms. Vivienne Fei operated, the two people exchanged the experience of the development of film in the two places, Vivienne Fei also said that his friend, that is, ready to go to Moscow, and her husband has the same status of the man also like to watch the Xiangjiang film.
“Jack Cheng if you need any help, my son is working in Xiangjiang, he can help you a lot. A very obedient child.” Fei Wen Li was full of pride when she spoke of her son.
Although the good elder son could not talk about a high position of power in Xiangjiang now, but having a father who was the supreme authority, a temporary experience was necessary, and he would definitely shine in the future.
Waiting for Fei Wenli to finish expressing the favor of the British Empire, Allen Wilson just hurriedly boarded the door, this habitual lateness makes Fei Wenli can’t help but roll her eyes, “Just came from Audrey?”
“Honey, what’s the point?” Alan Wilson’s face slumped, it was obvious that he had just come from his sister-in-law’s place, “Didn’t I finish my work and came over to see you right away? How’s the talk, these years the Xiangjiang movie is no longer limited to the local area, the box office is the proof, the annual box office number one has begun to approach ten million Hong Kong dollars, how many local people only?”
This era of Xiangjiang movie is able to compete with any regional movie, and the local market is also important to the UK, the zero zero seven series has also taken a lot of annual crowns, who said that Xiangjiang people are not patriotic, the popularity of the zero zero seven series is enough to prove that Xiangjiang people are patriotic.
The popularity of the Zero Dark Thirty series is proof that Hong Kong people are patriotic. The acceptance of Zero Dark Thirty by the Hong Kong market is the second highest among the markets other than the UK market, and the first one is the Federal Republic of Germany. The Germans would proudly puff out their chests every time a new 2007 movie was released, even though the Germans lost both world wars to Britain.
“We can still help Mr. Jack Cheng a lot, the biggest disadvantage of the Xiangjiang movie is that this background is too fake.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth to point directly to the Xiangjiang movie, and the disadvantages of Hong Kong dramas, cheap background arrangements, the Xiangjiang people also like big scenes, the UK’s current position in the world, still able to take scenes from a lot of places, at least in the Commonwealth of Nations without any problems.
“You want to absorb the movie industry in Xiangjiang.” How could Vivien Lei not know this man’s purpose, relying on this man’s scripting ability, the United States film industry is developing well, but compared to the entire Hollywood creation, the Cabinet Secretary which has the time to always be concerned about this kind of thing, “Hollywood is still powerful.”
“Top that for a while.” Alan Wilson was not so pessimistic, it seemed like since Inception, American movies had also lost their creative power. It became a paradise for all kinds of trilogies, or even ten, as well as Marvel, which was like now, with Jaws and King Kong popping up all over the place.
“Is the hope of topping this period in Xiangjiang?” Vivienne didn’t understand, but the man had built up trust with her, and she couldn’t say anything.
“Wrong, it’s on Jack Sung the actor. Not on Xiang Jiang.” Alan Wilson corrected, comedy movies could not break through cultural barriers, but kung fu movies could.
Definitely can’t consider the level of Jack Cheng as the level of Xiangjiang, in fact, the level of Xiangjiang movie is absolutely not outstanding, the reason why there is influence can be entirely because of the emergence of a group of talents, this batch of talents is old, the Xiangjiang film industry is also finished.
In order to find a market for British films, Alan Wilson is not ready to visit the Soviet Union, hoping that the Soviet Union will be able to make some appropriate adjustments in the system of imported films.
In the past year, the USSR has definitely gained a lot, especially in Nicaragua, where a new wave of strikes and student movements have emerged, and news about the corruption of officials in the Somoza regime has been constantly exposed.
In the face of this public outcry, the insurgent factions, supported by the Socialist International and Latin American countries, launched simultaneous attacks on several large towns in the country, including the provincial capital of Masaya, which is only thirty miles from the capital, and the Prolonged People’s War (PPL) faction launched an offensive in the northern mountainous region, capturing small towns, seizing Somoza’s properties, ambushing convoys of supplies and organizing student marches in the cities to demand punishment for the massacres committed. They also organized student marches in the cities to demand that the National Guard be punished for the massacres.
The proletariat also took the opportunity to build up grassroots organizations called Revolutionary Workers’ Committees among the workers of the cities. Chamorro, the leader of the bourgeois opposition, also called for strikes, strikes in the city, strikes in schools, and strikes in the streets against Somoza.
Repression followed. In the rural areas, villages were burned down in their entirety and napalm was mercilessly dropped on the heads of peasants.
In the cities, the demonstrators were attacked by the National Guard and by hooligan thugs hired by Somoza. Yet this did nothing to quench the anger of the people, and the mood of struggle continued to rise.
This was probably the first time since World War II that the Soviets and the Germans had shared the same attitude towards an issue, and the Socialist International rarely supported the armed overthrow of a state. But this time it was clearly an exception, and at a meeting of the Socialist International, the German Socialist Party insisted on an armed overthrow model, surprising the British Labor Party, and most surprisingly, the Germans won the support of Latin American countries for their proposition.
“What a Soviet-German alliance.” Alan Wilson muttered, he had seen for a long time that the Germans were no good, and this was the most obvious proof.
