My girlfriend is from 1949

Chen Huai'an is now a director and screenwriter, currently filming a movie about World War II.

The content tells the story of the joint Sino-American resistance against Japan.

The largest portion of the coverage focused on the international friendship and selfless spirit of the Chinese medical team.

This part of the story tells of a U.S. Army colonel who is wounded in an air raid and sent to a hospital in the rear.

However, after being taken to the operating room, no immediate treatment was given.

Instead, they first checked the individual's tax situation to confirm whether there were any outstanding taxes.

As a result, the colonel missed two months of property tax payments due to the war.

He was refused treatment by the field hospital.

However, the doctor said that he could just have the bill mailed to his home after he was cured.

result……

In an attempt to prevent the colonel from receiving treatment for tax evasion, a nurse actually stabbed a doctor to death!

The reason? It turned out to be simply that they hadn't paid taxes!

This section presents the American tax issue in an exaggerated way, which will definitely resonate with the public.

At the same time, it will make the audience feel that the government is ruthless and cold-blooded for refusing to treat an injured officer just because he owes property taxes, and that it doesn't care about the lives of the American people.

The preceding plot also foreshadowed that the soldiers had to pay for their own clothes, bullets, and food.

Everything is pointing to one viewpoint: greed for money!

While there are artistic exaggerations involved, it generally reflects the situation of the US military.

Chen Huai'an was quite satisfied with this scene.

Especially when speaking, they always add emotional expressions like "oh" or "darling" before their words, drawing out the intonation of their exclamations.

This is very much in line with the style of American movies from the 1960s and 70s.

"Assistant Director Feng, what do you think?"

Chen Huai'an turned his head and glanced at the assistant director next to him.

His attitude was very sincere; he genuinely wanted to ask for advice.

After all, he's not a professional director or screenwriter.

I simply bought a copy of "The Self-Cultivation of a Director" and studied it at home for a few days via correspondence.

Therefore, to ensure a smooth process, an assistant director was specially hired to provide guidance and support.

This assistant director, surnamed Feng, is thirty years old and is definitely a professionally trained actor.

He also directed several low-budget films, but they received lukewarm responses.

Although he has some talent, he lacks good scripts and investors.

Competition is fierce across all industries these days.

Especially in the field of directing, ability alone is not enough.

So Director Feng wasted several years and still achieved nothing.

Even in the dead of night, he hesitated about whether to develop his career in Taiwan and collaborated with Madou Media and Jelly Media.

Of course, this is just a way to vent about the frustration of feeling unappreciated when I'm alone at night.

I wouldn't actually go there and do something that would ruin my future.

You can find the latest updated chapters of this book by searching "Deqi Novel Network" on Bing!

Just when he hadn't been able to film any movies for over a year and was even considering setting up a stall at the night market to sell pancakes.

A boss approached him, saying he wanted to be an assistant director.

If he helps make three movies, we'll invest 30 million to let him direct one of them.

How could Director Feng refuse such a windfall?

Moreover, those in this industry inevitably have connections with the big bosses.

When we get a good proposal in the future, we can attract investment, right?

What's more, they can't even afford a meal, so they're planning to set up a stall at the night market to sell pancakes.

So I agreed without even thinking about it.

However, after joining the crew, I realized that the films and storylines were incredibly outdated!

Even the filming style was required to be that of American films from the 1960s and 70s.

The plot was so outrageous it left people speechless.

I can't believe anyone would watch such an old-fashioned, ridiculously bad, and unrealistic storyline.

For example, he raised objections during the tax payment scene just now.

That seems a bit excessive; Americans wouldn't believe it.

Chen Huai'an dared to write such an outrageous plot because he was confident!

Yes, thorough market research was conducted.

This whole logic is based on brainwashing techniques from foreign films.

Even in foreign films, plots that glorify themselves while vilifying the East are utterly absurd.

But many people, unfortunately, believed it.

Even if you've never left the country in your entire life, you firmly believe that foreign countries are free and wonderful, and the air is sweet.

Even the moon in the sky is rounder than the one in China!

Foreign films can brainwash people, and the same films can brainwash foreigners in the same way.

Moreover, the broadcast took place in 1949.

Information was more limited in those days, so whatever was shown in the movies was taken as fact.

People who watch these things will be subconsciously influenced and accept them.

This system has been very successful in China for decades.

Therefore, Chen Huai'an decided to fight fire with fire.

Using the same methods and the same mindless plot, they retaliated against foreigners.

It also helps us break free from the stereotypes about the East that we've developed within the information cocoon of foreign countries!

When faced with questions from the assistant director, Chen Huai'an did not offer any explanation, but instead showed himself a short drama.

The content is also old news; it's about a wealthy man who finds his long-lost biological son.

However, after bringing their biological son home, the wealthy parents never treated him kindly.

Not only did they not give him money, but they also provided him with poor living conditions and treated his own son coldly.

Conversely, they dote on their adopted children, providing them with the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, and shelter.

Their attitude was very affectionate, as if the adopted son were their biological child.

After watching it, Director Feng angrily criticized the plot for being detached from reality.

It's simply impossible for such an absurd situation to occur in the world.

No parent would treat their own son like dirt while cherishing their adopted son like a treasure.

This plot is so ridiculous, it's completely made up!

This is a serious insult to the directing profession!

Chen Huai'an smiled slightly and simply replied, "The treatment of foreign students."

Forehead…….

In an instant, Director Feng was like a duck with its neck being squeezed, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

After a long while, he finally said with genuine admiration, "Art originates from life; I was being superficial!"

Then, there were no more objections.

Moreover, the treatment provided by the production crew was truly exceptional.

Boss Chen is really rich!

When filming at the film studio, the standard of boxed meals was at least twice as high as that of other film crews.

In addition, there are other benefits.

If filming in the wild, just bring a food truck.

The chef prepares the food on the spot, and the variety of dishes is abundant. The cost of meals alone for one day is quite high.

Boss Chen only said one sentence: "People-oriented."

Excellent benefits and salaries keep everyone highly motivated.

Whether it was genuine or not, real money was invested.

In order to capture the spirit and morale of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, they even brought in a whole division of soldiers.

They dressed up in Eighth Route Army costumes and filmed scenes that captured the grandeur, the solemnity of military discipline, and the details that reflected the military.

To this end, the military region also sent a colonel staff officer to provide guidance in this regard.

This alone demonstrated to everyone the terrifying power of Boss Chen.

After witnessing this, Director Feng had even more confidence in Boss Chen's promise to finance the film and act as its producer.

He couldn't help but harbor a wild ambition: with such a powerful background, could he film something that others dared not film, or that even if they did, could not be released?

In this stagnant entertainment industry where everything revolves around romance.

If a realistic and daring film could be made, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

In fact, all directors are well aware of this.

But no one filmed it because they knew it wouldn't be released.

In the end, it might have to be completely changed to pass censorship.

If it takes three to five years to be released, by then it will be too late.

Moreover, no one can guarantee that the main actors in the drama won't have a car accident or house collapse during this period.

Therefore, due to the excessive risk, no one went to film it.

But if you have powerful connections, things are different.

With Mr. Chen's abilities, he can definitely solve problems that others cannot as a producer.

The bigger the waves, the bigger the fish!

In this era of the "king of the roll" (a metaphor for a powerful and influential figure), to stand out, one must make a name for oneself!

Now, the timing, location, and people are all in place; all the conditions have been met.

If you still don't dare to try, then you can only be a third-rate director for the rest of your life, or become a director at Jelly Media.

Director Feng, now ambitious, held his boss in even higher esteem.

Suggestions made during filming are always made with utmost care.

You can't let the sponsor feel uncomfortable hearing the suggestion.

But we can't just say nothing or mention nothing.

Director Feng went to great lengths to curry favor with this big spender.

Fortunately, this investor had a good temper and wasn't as eccentric as other investors.

Moreover, as long as the questions are raised from a professional perspective, we will actively learn from experience.

This colleague, who came to the field later in life, is willing to learn.

Director Feng realized that this investor wasn't just interested in making one or two films.

Instead, it should be developed as a long-term hobby.

So, we catered to their preferences by carrying a copy of the original textbook in our bag during filming.

Since the client wants to learn, we must show our willingness to do so.

In order to better "learn from each other", we will take out books and make sure that we are logical and well-founded.

So, during the five days we spent together, we got along quite well.

Chen Huai'an was quite satisfied with the assistant director's performance.

As long as he performs well, we don't mind investing in him.

Who knows, it's not impossible that they might actually produce a blockbuster film with a box office of 10 billion in the future.

Chen Huai'an is a man with ambitions; he doesn't want to be a nobody.

With his current status and wealth, he can easily dabble in this field.

Making positive films is a way to contribute to society, isn't it?

Now, the next scene is ready.

With a command given, filming resumed.

When the American doctor was killed, the nurse raised her scalpel, ready to kill the colonel in his hospital bed.

The actress's expression was ferocious, giving the impression of a psychologically twisted, murderous monster.

With acting skills like that, he definitely deserves an extra chicken leg!

He is indeed a graduate of a professional acting school. Along with the other actors, except for those playing foreigners, they are all from professional acting backgrounds.

The entertainment industry is very competitive now, and many people find it difficult to get roles after graduation.

Previously, many people could switch to short dramas, but with the development of a...

Even short drama actors are almost losing their jobs because of A.

So if a production team wants to recruit professional actors, they just need to put up the sign, and there will be plenty of people scrambling to hire them.

These younger actors, though lacking in experience, still delivered commendable performances.

Director Feng sat to the side, watching the actors' performance, and found nothing wrong with it.

I couldn't help but twitch my lips while watching this part of the story.

To prevent a tax evader from receiving medical treatment, a nurse was willing to kill him with her own hands.

If this were broadcast, I wonder what kind of criticism the audience would have!

But the sponsor felt there was no problem, so he naturally didn't say much.

In Chen Huai'an's view, although these plots were mindless, they were appropriate for an era of limited entertainment in 1949.

As long as a movie can be made, the audience will want to experience the saltiness.

Most importantly, regardless of whether it's true or not, viewers will develop a certain self-perception of Americans after watching it.

Without seeing it with one's own eyes, television is the only way to learn about it.

Even if the audience knows it's fake, they will still be angry, which will greatly damage their impression of the United States as a whole!

There are countless examples around the world of actors being criticized by audiences for their overly convincing performances.

Even if the audience knows it's fake, they will still be moved by the emotions.

This is exactly the result Chen Huai'an needed!

A single film may not be able to instill the idea that the United States is selfish and indifferent to the lives of its people.

However, after three to five years, or even ten to twenty years, a fixed perception will definitely form.

Aren't we victims of this tactic, and the enemy has used it very successfully?

At the same time, the female nurse raised the scalpel high, her face contorted with rage, ready to stab.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard!

At this tense moment, the door was kicked open.

A tall, upright Eastern man rushed in, pulled out a pistol, and shot the nurse dead with two shots as she was about to commit the crime.

Then he turned to the Asian woman who had entered after him and said, "Dr. Chen, save him!"

The woman from the East, referred to as Dr. Chen, immediately put on gloves, picked up a scalpel, and began to save lives.

Soon, five shrapnel fragments were removed.

He said with a sigh of relief, "The surgery went smoothly. I just need to rest for a while to recover."

Click!

As the sound faded, the filming of this scene was completed.

This section mainly tells the story of how an Eastern hero appeared in time to save the American officer.

The female doctor from the East, with her superb medical skills, also saved the person.

Its main purpose is to correct the ignorant and backward ideas in the East.

To show Western audiences that Eastern doctors are just like them.

Chen Huai'an nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.

He glanced at the time and announced, "Let's eat first, then we'll film!"

The actors and crew members all smiled; for them, eating was a real treat.

The quality and taste of the meals served on set were top-notch.

Soon, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion in front of the food truck.

Even the lead actors are lining up to receive their "lunch boxes" (death sentences).

After all, all the main actors were recent graduates and couldn't afford special treatment or even a nanny van.

Moreover, everyone knows that if someone dares to act like a diva on set, Director Chen is really capable of terminating their contract!

So the atmosphere on set was pretty good.

Chen Huai'an didn't make any special requests. He took the food handed to him by the assistant director and squatted down to eat heartily.

Suddenly, I smelled a fragrant breeze, and a woman sat down beside me.
