Chapter 946 If we write our story

Yan Yu'an didn't come at all.

The Nantong District Special Agent Department is occasionally very busy, but the Tianmen City Customs... is basically open all year round.

He has no time to go out to the movies.

This made Wang Yunxiao and Han Bin feel like they had missed out on an extra melon today, and they had a subtle sense of regret.

When the seats were almost full, the door was closed and the lights were adjusted, then a middle-aged man in a tight grey trench coat with a stand-up collar walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. It is my personal decision to invite you all here this year. Please forgive me for taking up your leisure time. First of all, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Tingyun, and I am currently the director and producer of the movie Dingjun Mountain."

What is your current position? What did you do before?

Just because of an idea of ​​yours, you invited all the key members of the Secret Service here to watch a movie?

All kinds of doubts arose in Wang Yunxiao's mind.

"The movie Dingjun Mountain will be screened for a long time. Now you don't have to join the crowd. If you are interested, you can come and watch it later. Today I invite you all to come and watch another movie I shot. The content of this movie is very simple, but some things are not suitable for outsiders to watch."

Xiao Tingyun briefly introduced: "The film is 35 minutes long. I know everyone is a little confused now, so please be patient. Let's exchange opinions after watching the movie."

After saying this, he turned around and walked off the stage, and the lights in the small theater went out.

Don’t expect any sound or light effects for movies of this era. It’s extremely difficult to make them.

Wang Yunxiao only took a glance at the beginning and knew why this film could not be shown publicly.

Because the people in the movie have braids.

This is a documentary film that records the era at the end of the last century as remembered by Wang Yunxiao, in which a young man with a simple and honest face achieved a very prominent reputation and status in the Federation by relying on the oriental magic tricks he had learned.

But as his fame spread, local imitators appeared. A foreigner imitated him and braided his hair, claiming that he was the real oriental magician and went on public tours.

They even sent him a provocative challenge.

He gladly accepted the invitation, but while preparing the props, he was summoned by the imperial legation.

The master wearing an official hat told him not to participate in the competition.

Personal honor and disgrace are minor matters, while national honor and disgrace are major matters. Even if you win, at most you will only gain some reputation for yourself, but you will not be able to save the face of the foreign masters.

The foreign master was embarrassed, so he would naturally seek redress elsewhere. I don't know how much effort and money he would have to spend on the negotiation table.

So, instead of competing for supremacy, it is better to... tolerate each other for the sake of the country.

Wang Ying was chewing on a candy candy when she saw this. She couldn't help but turn around and ask Han Bin in a low voice: "Which country is this foreigner from? Which court official is he?"

"Are they tired of living?"

Han Bin waved his hand and said, "Movies are all fake, don't talk."

The scene changes and the time comes several decades later.

The oriental magician, who is no longer young, returns to his hometown with his son.

On the bank of the turbulent river, he set up his camera and pointed the lens at the young soldiers in front of him who were standing in neat rows, had their braids cut off, and were shouting revolutionary slogans.

His voice, old yet somewhat excited, rang out on the stage.

"As for your father, I learned the skills from my master, but I am not good at either literature or martial arts. I can only provide you with a full meal, but I am of no use to the country. I have experienced all kinds of hardships overseas these years, and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Dad, can they succeed in their revolution?"

"I don't know either. It's hard to say... But no matter how difficult the task is, someone has to do it. Some people have to carry guns, and some people have to go to school. What we two have to do is to use our cameras to record today."

As the camera gradually pulls away, the movie comes to an end.

In the end, only the photos taken were left, organized into an album, with a line of text written next to them.

“On October 12, the revolutionary army liberated Hankou.” The movie ended, the lights were turned back on, and the scene was silent.

No one speaks.

Xiao Tingyun walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone and said, "What I just played for you was a personal biography I filmed for my master. My level is limited, so please forgive me for any shortcomings."

"Yes, I believe some people have guessed it. This is not our story. My master is just an ordinary person. Apart from the magic tricks passed down in his family, he has no other strengths. As an ordinary person, he did not participate in the competition. From then on, he changed his name and stopped performing magic. But he did not give up on himself."

"He took the initiative to study the new technology that was considered by Chinese people to be no different from magic at the time, namely camera technology. After returning to China, he invested a large sum of his family fortune and founded the first camera company in China."

"He used the profits from the company to support the revolutionaries who were still a small part of the overseas community at the time. Although the money was not much, he still did what he could."

"Finally, this set of precious photos is left behind."

“This is the story of an ordinary person.”

"You may not understand why I play this movie, so I'll just say it straight."

Having said that, Xiao Tingyun suddenly changed the subject.

"Many of you only have a superficial understanding of the Twelve Dharma Gates system. Of course, this is not your fault. After all, there were internal and external troubles before this, and the compilation and revision of the Twelve Dharma Gates system has been ongoing. Even if you are practicing the same method, the textbooks you have may be different."

“I am here to tell you the answer to this question today.”

"When everything in the world withers, everything returns to nothingness. If your life is a book, and now there is no word in the book, only a blank paper is left waiting for you to write again, where would you start writing?"

"First of all, who am I?"

"Country, nation, civilization, faith - these are all definitions of 'me'."

"Scholar, Ranger, and Reckless Man."

"Reading books teaches us etiquette, which is what distinguishes us from the beasts."

"Knights are for justice. Love and justice are the beliefs in our hearts."

"The Mang people represent resistance. They are the power that allows us to fight against the heaven and earth."

"Chess officials, actors, and soldiers."

"Go hand talks cultivate a sense of the overall situation and a long-term strategic vision."

“Talent and skills are the color of civilization and the cultural heritage of a nation.”

"Using force to stop war and fighting to avoid war is the basic guarantee for national peace and stability."

"Feng Shui, Craftsmen, Ghosts."

“Exploring nature and geography is necessary for our survival and development.”

“The spirit of seeking the truth is a test of curiosity and willpower.”

“The order of the Yin and Yang worlds is the remembrance and respect for our ancestors.”

"Demons, priests, witch doctors."

"The obsession in our hearts is not a sin, but a natural instinct that people are born with."

"The most important affairs of a country are war and sacrifice. Only by educating the people can the world be united."

"Humans live between heaven and earth. We should know our destiny and follow its will. Only our destiny is not determined by heaven!"

“If we were to record our story in a book, these twelve sentences would be a complete answer.”

Xiao Tingyun looked at the young people in the audience and smiled.

"Now let me formally introduce myself. In addition to being a film director, I also have another identity, which is the principal of Penglai Immortal Academy."
