Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

"Yang Sang, long time no see!"

Kadokawa Haruki and Yakushimaru Hiroko appeared at the Excelsior Hotel where Yang Ye was staying, and greeted Yang Ye with a smile.

"Mr. Kadokawa, Miss Hiroko, why did you come to Venice in person?"

"Haha, of course I can't wait to see Yang Sang's masterpiece."

"It's such an honor."

Yang Ye and Kadokawa Haruki blew rainbow farts at each other. Kadokawa said seriously: "I asked Miss Hiroko to star in a movie. This time I hope that Yang Sang can invite her to be your female companion when she walks on the red carpet, so that I can borrow it." This is a lot of hype.”

This is of course no problem. Hiroko Yakushimaru originally participated in "Sediq Bale", although it was just a supporting role.

Yang Ye happily agreed and asked with great interest: "What movie is it?"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "This movie is called "Sailor Uniforms and Machine Guns". We are also participating in the exhibition. When the time comes, we invite Yang Sang to come and watch it!"

Yang Ye said: "This movie is very exciting just by the name. Let us Baiyang distribute it in the Hong Kong market!"

Kadokawa Haruki said: "Of course that's no problem. I also hope that after watching the movie, Yang Sang can compose a theme song for the movie. Is that possible?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Of course no problem!"

"Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" is Hiroko Yakushimaru's most popular work. Japan's box office ration reached 23 billion yen. It directly launched Hiroko Yakushimaru into the ranks of super-popular idols, and also made "high school girls" become a representative culture in Japan. Symbol, JK worship began from then on.

Japanese movies began to enter a period of decline in the 1960s. By the 1970s, all major Japanese film companies, except Nikkatsu, gave up on the "star-making movement" and began to invite popular singers and artists active on TV platforms to shoot movies.

It was under such circumstances that Yamaguchi Momoe broke out in the Japanese film industry as a singer.

As for Nikkatsu still making stars, it’s because it has switched to making small movies, and all it makes are porn stars.

At this time, Kadokawa Haruki suddenly entered the film industry and invented a new business model.

In his own words, it is called "filmmaking for exclusive actresses and their fans". In short, it is shooting "idol movies".

Since Japanese fans are extremely wealthy and mentally retarded, as long as they can successfully launch an idol star and target the wallets of idiot fans, they can reap the rewards in a steady stream.

This "idol movie" model, together with Johnny & Associates' trainee model, has become the source of idol culture in East Asia, and its popularity is endless.

Hiroko Yakushimaru is the first idol star launched by Kadokawa Haruki using this model. In addition, there are Tomoyo Harada and Noriko Watanabe, and the three of them are collectively known as the "Three Girls of Kadokawa".

Venice Cinema Palace!

After introducing the specific situation of this Venice Film Festival to the media and audience, the artistic director of the Venice Film Festival announced the official opening of the 38th Venice International Film Festival.

Subsequently, media reporters, film agents, film critics, and audiences moved to the theater to watch the opening film "Sediq Bale".

Yang Ye led the film's creators onto the stage, briefly introduced the film's story background to the audience, and then walked off the stage, and the huge screen lit up.

After the credits of Baiyang Pictures and Taiwan China Film were released, the movie officially started.

"This film is adapted from the historical facts of the Wushe Uprising!"

A row of subtitles appeared, and then the screen lit up, showing an extremely vigorous scene of headhunting.

Mona Ludao, played by Yang Ye, has a strong figure. He raises and lowers the knife with his hand, and cleanly chops off two heads, which really shocked the audience.

This movie shows its unique temperament from the beginning. Although Mo Na is the protagonist, he is not a tall hero.

He is savage and cruel, adhering to the cruel tradition of the tribe.

Then a few scenes briefly introduced the process of Japan's conquest of the entire island of Taiwan.

Although the residents of all ethnic groups on the island put up tenacious resistance, the primitive civilization was naturally no match for the modern army.

The movie has exquisite images and beautiful soundtrack, and the unique cultural customs of the Seediq people are vividly displayed. Although the movie is very long, the audience did not feel impatient and watched quietly.

Japan established modern towns in the Wushe area. Educational centers, medical clinics, grocery stores, post offices, hotels, and dormitories were built one after another.

The Seediq people have given up their original barbaric customs. They no longer hunt, and their men work for the Japanese in logging and mining. Women work as domestic helpers and nannies in Japanese homes.

On the surface, they were civilized by the Japanese.

But in fact, they all became cheap labor for the Japanese, working as cattle and horses for the Japanese, and suffered discrimination and were often beaten and scolded.

Their children go to schools built by Japanese, learn Japanese, learn Japanese living habits, and become Japanese when they grow up.

But discrimination is everywhere. A Seediq man named Dutchess received a full Japanese education, became a policeman, and changed his name to Ichiro Hanagang, and his wife changed her name to Hanako Kawano.

They wore kimonos and lived in a Japanese-style house. They looked like two Japanese people.

But actually? The Japanese did not regard them as one of their own. Hanaoka Ichiro's salary was only half of that of the Japanese police. He also suffered from discrimination and was often shouted at.

When Kawano Hanako gave birth, several Japanese women laughed behind her back: Can two Japanese women give birth to a Japanese child?

They gave up their identity, integrated into Japan, and became Japanese, but the Japanese told them everywhere that they were Japanese.

……

The Seediq people have been bullied by the Japanese. Even if Mona comes forward in person, they often can't get back a good face, and the conflicts between the two sides are increasing day by day.

Once, when the Mahpo tribe was holding a happy event, Japanese policeman Yoshimura came to stir up trouble. The Seediq youths couldn't bear it and finally broke out and almost beat Yoshimura to death.

Fortunately, Mona stepped forward in time and rescued Yoshimura, but Yoshimura roared crazily, saying that he would call the army over and kill all the people in Mahpo. Mona endured the humiliation and took people to Wushe to apologize to Yoshimura, but Yoshimura told them to go home and wait to die.

Hanagang Ichiro knew that Yoshimura had reported the case, and he approached his brother Hanagang Erlang to discuss it.

Erlang said: "Growing up, I would be scared whenever I saw leader Mo Na. I always felt that his hand hidden in the cloak was always holding a knife, ready to hunt. Don't underestimate him, he can't be tamed. of……"

Ichiro said: "It is very painful for him to be caught between the expectations of his tribe and the threat of the Japanese."

"Aren't we two? We don't want to be barbarians, but no matter how hard we try to dress up, we can't change this face that is not recognized by civilization."

"We have endured it for twenty years, let's endure it for another twenty years! When our children grow up, we may be able to completely change our barbaric image."

"Can you bear it? Mahpo will be driven out and killed!"

……

Ichiro Hanagang knew that Mona would not tolerate it anymore, so he decided to talk to Mona. He wanted to remind Mona that the Japanese had troops, artillery, machine guns, planes and large ships.

The Japanese are denser than the leaves of the forest, and more numerous than the stones of the Zhuoshui stream.

He wanted to remind Mona how powerful the Japanese were.

Mona asked him: "Daqis, will you enter a Japanese shrine in the future or the home of our ancestors?"

Hanagang Ichiro was silent, and Mona asked again: "I heard that you beat our children in the Bantong Education Center like in Japan."

Hanaoka Ichiro said: "I beat them in the hope...I hope they won't be looked down upon by the Japanese."

"You graduated from a normal school and have a higher academic qualification than other police officers. Why do you receive the lowest salary? Do the Japanese think highly of you?"

Ichiro Hanagang asked: "Boss, isn't it bad to be ruled by the Japanese? We now live a civilized life, with schools and post offices, and we no longer have to rely on barbaric hunting to survive like before... being ruled by the Japanese Is it not good?"

Mona asked back: "Is it good to be ruled by the Japanese? Men are forced to bend down to carry wood, and women are forced to kneel to serve as servants. All the money they deserve goes into the pockets of the Japanese police. As a leader, I only get drunk every day and pretend If you can’t see or hear, what else can you do?! Post office? Shop? School? When will you make your tribe’s life better? On the contrary, let people see how poor they are!”

Hanaoka Ichiro: "Boss, can we endure it for another twenty years?"

Mona: "In twenty years it won't be Seediq, there will be no hunting grounds, and the children will all be Japanese!"

……

In the evening, a group of Seediq young people gathered together to drink and chat.

A young man said: "These Japanese are so abominable. Even if they invite them to drink, they will be beaten."

Another young man said: "Last time, three girls from Boalun Club were invited to accompany them for drinks, and they were raped."

Someone suggested killing Yoshimura.

A young man named Dado said; "Kill Yoshimura? How did my family die? My father killed a Japanese, and the whole family was burned alive by the fire. At that time, I was hiding in the woods, but I didn't even have eyes. Blink.”

When Dado said this, his eyes were filled with tears.

Another young man said: "So, we must not kill just one Japanese, we must kill all the Japanese."

"Are you kidding? If we can kill them all, why do we still have to endure it until now?"

"Today, Mona Ludo of Mahpo was cornered by a small policeman from the sanctions station. On October 27th, the day after tomorrow, there will be a sports meeting in Wushe. At that time, all the Japanese in Wushe... will gather together."

……

"Father, we can't wait for a better opportunity. This is our last way."

"We can no longer let the Japanese look down on us. We must let them know that we are not easy to mess with. Boss, fight them!"

"Yes, fight them!"

Mona was silent for a moment and said: "Young people, my hatred for the Japanese will not be less than yours. But do you know that after taking action, we will definitely die...or even be exterminated?"

"Our lives are bought by the blood of our ancestors. We should also take our descendants and dye our uniforms red together. We are Seediq Bale!"

Mona glanced at all the young people, stood up and said: "If we talk about revenge, that is my business, Mahpo. But if there is a blood sacrifice to the ancestors, all twelve tribes of Wushe will participate!"

Mona took out the gunpowder he had secretly collected, and the young people realized that Mona had been preparing for a long time.

Mona said: "Keep the secret before taking action. No elders, children, or women in the tribe should know about it. Contact the leaders of the twelve blood alliance tribes, and tomorrow morning... blood sacrifice to the ancestors!"

……

Hanaoka Ichiro discovered the secret that the tribe was about to revolt, and he rushed back to find Mona Rudo.

"Boss, didn't you say you didn't know how to do it?"

Mona asked: "Daqis, you didn't answer me last time. Are you going to enter a Japanese shrine in the future, or the home of our Seediq ancestors? Are you Dutch? Or Ichiro Hanaoka?"

"I am the real Seediq..."

"If so, change these clothes and join us in blood sacrifice to the ancestors!"

"It's not like you don't know how many Japanese troops there are. Doing this is just a waste of sacrifice. Didn't you say last time that the Japanese are better than those in the forest..."

"The Japanese are denser than the leaves in the forest! There are more stones than the rocks in the Zhuoshui River! But my determination to resist is stronger than Mount Qilai!"

"If your civilization is asking us to grovel, then I will show you the pride of barbarism!" (End of Chapter)
