The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

It was actually a true color movie.

The colors were realistic and bright, without rough edges and no traces of artificial coloring.

Remas was defeated.

It is conceivable that if Internet movie theaters show such movies in the future, he will lose his livelihood.

He bought the Hongkou Theater built by the Japanese ten years later in the original history, and he was also a top figure in Shanghai.

At this time, Remas felt that something was quietly leaving him.

In the first scene, the protagonist appeared.

He got off the carriage wearing a wool coat and a top hat.

The camera followed his line of sight, so only the back of his head could be photographed. His hair was golden.

First on the left, Russian-style buildings such as clothing shops and restaurants plus the snow-covered streets formed a scene depth effect.

Then looking to the right, Russian-style buildings such as department stores, hardware and labor protection stores plus the snow-covered streets formed a scene depth effect.

The Peacekeeping Bureau only has this one street to be worth mentioning. Zhao Chuanxin borrowed the composition thinking at the beginning of "Kung Fu" to maximize the use of the street.

When the protagonist enters the tavern, the silence immediately turns into a hustle and bustle, and the black and white ice and snow world becomes colorful.

Everywhere people are dressed in suits and leather shoes, with oily hair and powdered faces, and the lights and wine are bright and colorful.

Remas' soul trembles.

The colors are brighter and more real in the tavern.

The noisy sounds are clearly audible.

A real sound movie.

The camera moves forward with the protagonist and comes to the bar. Next to her sits a big wavy beauty. Although she is skinny, her skirt is very low on her chest.

There is no way, the Peacekeeping Bureau can't find a plump woman.

Because the color needs to be highlighted, the woman's skirt is bright red.

It's a blast.

The audience exclaimed in surprise, not knowing whether they cheered for the woman's pitiful ravines, or felt that this colorful movie made them feel that the trip was worthwhile.

Real color, real sound, extremely high picture quality, no snow spots, no lag.

Remas' heart sank.

The dialogue is currently in Russian, but there are Chinese subtitles below.

Those who can read can easily understand the plot.

For those who are illiterate, the simple plot is easy to understand, and guesswork is enough.

The story is like this. The protagonist meets a woman in a tavern. After meeting several times, he falls in love with this woman. The woman also flirts with him, and then he is discovered by the woman's powerful admirer.

The admirer sends someone to trouble the protagonist. The protagonist is an amateur boxer, and they fight in the tavern.

The audience exclaimed again and again. The protagonist took off his suit, unbuttoned his shirt, twisted his neck, attacked in a one-two rhythm, and punched very quickly. He feinted with his left hand, kicked the ground with his back foot, and broke the defense with a heavy punch with his back hand.

Bang.

The first extra fell to the ground neatly, rolling his eyes and twitching.

The second extra attacked, punching straight, straight, and swinging.

The protagonist swayed left and right, and dodged again, and the second extra was left without any results.

The protagonist suddenly straightened up, with a confident smile on his face, and hooked at the second extra.

The second extra was furious, jabbing, jabbing, and jabbing again.

The protagonist dodged with a piece of paper.

Then jump forward and step back.

Seeing this, the audience was already excited.

Just this, it was worth the ticket price.

Yes, the audience was so easily satisfied at this time.

Because they have not seen a better action movie plot than this.

The actions of the protagonist and the extras were crisp and clear, very real, and after the lens editing, it was very enjoyable.

Remas gasped.

In addition to the most basic colors and sounds, he also found that the lens of this movie was different.

From the beginning to now, there have been at least more than 20 shots, which is incredible.

This can be called lens language.

The benefits of three sets of cameras are obvious. After dramatic editing, there are three perspectives at the fighting scene, two fixed perspectives, one moving perspective, switching back and forth between the protagonist and the extras, and also a panoramic perspective.

It fully emphasizes the narrative of the story and the details of the characters' movements and expressions.

This continuous editing technique made Remas understand that the future is the world of feature films, and the pictures that emphasize static images may no longer be popular.

The audience who have seen this movie may never accept his inferior short films again.

Look, the audience in the theater has forgotten to eat snacks.

Listen, there are screams of surprise everywhere.

The protagonist suddenly leaned forward, and the extra was frightened and retreated to dodge, but found that the protagonist was just faking a shot and didn't punch at all.

Just this, the audience burst into laughter.

There is a little more light-hearted humor in the excitement.

The rhythm is well controlled.

The protagonist leaned forward for the second time, and the extra thought he was still faking and was not prepared, but the protagonist really punched.

Bang.

A simple jab stunned the extra.

The protagonist seized the opportunity to step forward, hit the extra in the abdomen with a series of hooks, retreated a step, jumped, and punched.

Bang.

The extra fell to the ground.

Looking at the audience's reaction, many people excitedly stood up and threw copper coins on the stage, and some applauded and cheered.

"Stupid, sit down."

"You are blocking me."

"Nong Ce, what are you doing?"

It was finally calmed down, but I saw the protagonist was arrested by the police.

Many people who didn't see the details yelled: "It's all your fault for standing in my way."

The protagonist was exiled to Sakhalin.

Then there was a series of hard labor.

Before he was well-dressed and lived a life of feasting and revelry, he now ended up in a barbaric, desolate, and miserable situation.

This can make the audience sigh again and again.

In the ice and snow, the protagonist and other exiles went to the coal mine to carry coal blocks.

The sky and the earth turned black and white, and the prison uniforms became gray, dirty, and worn.

But the protagonist has a big red scarf around his neck, which was given by the woman who loved him before coming to Sakhalin.

Remas looked at the only bright red in the black and white, and his intuition told him that this shot must have a meaning.

As expected, the other exiles were depressed and heavy, but the protagonist was optimistic and always wanted to escape.

"Listen to me, you'd better not think about escaping. In Sakhalin, if you can find a wife and give birth to a child, you will be successful. At least when you die, someone will find you dead and won't let you rot in the house."

The protagonist wiped his face with a towel: "I'm already dead and I don't feel anything. Why am I in a hurry to be found?"

"Ah... Isn't it good to be found?"

The protagonist said: "The old man next door died and was found by his wife. I thought he lived a cowardly life, but now I know he is a successful person."

The audience laughed.

Those who couldn't understand the subtitles also laughed.

Remas's head was buzzing.

It turns out that there is such a powerful voice, and it can express it in this way...

The protagonist said: "What's the point of finding a wife? I saw your wife flirting with other men while you were working during the day. In Chinese, it's called wearing a green hat."

The protagonist said the four words "wearing a green hat" in Chinese, with a clear pronunciation, and I don't know how long he practiced.

The audience suddenly heard their own language, and they were so excited that their tongues trembled with laughter.

"She just flirted with other men, not wearing a green hat."

The "wearing a green hat" this person said was very awkward.

The audience laughed again.

Lemas couldn't laugh.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The protagonist joked: "There is no difference between dark green and light green hats."

The audience couldn't laugh anymore.

Someone said that if the protagonist of a movie is not liked by people, then the characterization of the protagonist is unsuccessful.

Although there are a few movies where the protagonist goes against this, it is generally true.

Although the protagonist is a foreigner, the audience has already liked this foreigner who can fight and know how to have fun in adversity.

Soon, the protagonist planned to escape.

The guard reported to the superior, and the superior led the soldiers to chase.

At this time, the protagonist's hair was messy and his beard was tangled, no longer the spirited demeanor of the past.

Remas frowned and thought: Could it be that Zhao Chuanxin waited for the actors' beards and hair to grow before filming?

Because at this time, most movies are linear narratives, and the filming is also linear.

He didn't know that Zhao Chuanxin filmed the back first, and then trimmed the protagonist's beard at the end. Zhao Chuanxin personally designed his hairstyle, and then filmed the first scene.

In this way, the actor's acting skills in the first scene are actually more mature than the latter.

When the protagonist fell in the snow that was as deep as his waist, the audience was nervous and dug their toes into the ground.

Especially when they saw the hideous pursuers behind them about to catch up.

When they saw the protagonist holding the stolen Mosin-Nagant, lying on the ground and pulling the bolt and firing in a hurry, the audience was so nervous that they forgot to breathe.

Bang...

The pursuer's chest splattered with blood and flew backwards.

This wonderful scene made the audience stand up excitedly.

How could they know what it was like to be shot?

It was just exciting.

Remas thought this scene was shocking.

He couldn't say exactly what was good about it.

The protagonist finally escaped from the Varona Valley and reached the Japanese territory.

He saw a Japanese girl drawing water.

I thought Sakhalin was just like that, with evil people and miserable people.

Unexpectedly, there was such a beautiful girl on the South Island, which immediately amazed the audience.

No need to show your body, no need to kiss, no need to waltz, just the morning sun shining on the beautiful girl's delicate and fair face, looking at her curved eyebrows, you are already drunk.

"This is more beautiful than Li Jinfeng, the top prostitute in the brothel!"

Someone exclaimed.

This mouth won a lot of approval.

This is the charm of the movie, special atmosphere, special environment, special lens composition, sows have to compete with Diao Chan, and Zhao Chuanxin's female secretary is really beautiful except for a little buck teeth.

Remas was numb at this time.

Even he thought that the Japanese girl in kimono was pretty.

Was she really pretty?

Maybe.

But she was definitely not as pretty as everyone said.

Everyone thought that the protagonist had escaped, but the next thing turned out to be a reversal.

The beautiful girl, while smiling, conspired with a boy to poison the protagonist, steal his Mosin-Nagant rifle and sell it to hunters, steal his scarf and pocket watch and other things to exchange for rice...

The protagonist was poisoned, but the poisoning was not serious because he drank less Aconitum soup. The protagonist began to drink soapy water to detoxify himself, vomited and had diarrhea, and finally survived.

The audience cursed and said, "The little Japanese devils are really damned..."

It can be said that they were led by Zhao Chuanxin, and their emotions were full.

In the end, the protagonist went on a killing spree and killed seven Japanese in the fishing village, including the girl and the boy.

The audience cheered loudly and felt refreshed.

Some people looked at the beautiful Japanese girl lying in a pool of blood and thought it was a pity.

It would be a waste of her face and figure if she didn't kill it first.

The Japanese soldiers chased the protagonist, and he led the Japanese soldiers to the Polonai Valley, where there were Russian soldiers waiting for him.

The two sides actually fought.

The protagonist did not give up hope in the hail of bullets and tried his best to survive.

The morning sun reflected the snow, and suddenly a group of uninvited guests arrived in the Polonai Valley.

The leader said calmly: "I am Levitan, the executive officer of the peacekeeping army. Anyone who dares to shoot will be killed without mercy."

He calmed down both the Japanese and Russian sides.

The protagonist is appreciated by Levitan, who tells the protagonist: "Everyone in the Peacekeeping Bureau is warmly clothed and well-fed, everyone has a job and makes money, and life is respected and protected..."

Music plays in the background.

Guitar solo, "Sunflower" slowly flowed into the hearts of the audience.

Although the Peacekeeping Bureau was not filmed, the audience could understand just by listening to this song that it must be a paradise-like existence.

take a bow.

The applause was thunderous.

"Play it again, play it again..."

The audience roared.

The staff shouted with a loudspeaker: "If you want to see it, go out and queue up to buy tickets."

Remus: "..."

He wanted to watch it again.

…

Lubin Mansion.

Yao Jia watched "Travel in Sakhalin" in the cinema.

"Is it still possible to film a movie about me doing this?"

Zhang Shouzeng clenched the armrest beside him: "Hush, you are talking in vain."

Yao Jia couldn't control it at all: "If I blanch it, everyone will fly away."

"My skin is so high. How did you take the photo? Hang it on a tree?"

"I'll blanch it, the little devil is so insidious..."

"I'll blanch it, kill it well!"

After the movie was played, Zhang Shouzeng's face turned dark and he pointed in the direction of the exit: "You go, you go quickly."

"What about you?"

"I want to watch it again without anyone making any noise."

Yao Jia sneered: "I'll watch it again, and I promise not to speak this time."

Waiting for the movie to open.

Yao Jia: "I'll do it. This punch is good."

Zhang Shouzeng's face darkened: "..."

…

Flying in the sky.

Nikola Tesla watched the movie and muttered: "Edison has patents for cameras and projectors. Movies are very interesting. Zhao has a lot of money. Maybe I should also study movies to add some trouble to Edison."

They are old enemies.

Guo Tie'er, Li Jiangong, Wang Gaiming, Guo Tuwa and others shouted loudly.

"I can fuck you too!"

"Use a knife, Guanshan knife!"

"Damn it, let me go, I'll kill these clumsy idiots."

"Kill all the Japs!"

The pot sticker rolled his eyes: "How about we ask the shopkeeper to make a movie for us?"

Everyone's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

…

Peacekeeping Bureau.

Peter Grabbin, Ken Nakamura, Levitan, Nomi Shirasaka, Masayoshi Sato and other creative staff gathered outside the screening room.

The screening room is not big and there is no waiting room, so you can only queue outside.

Maozi has a carefree temperament and is careless in everything he does.

But Mao Zi has rare and unique attainments and understanding in art.

And it's not an exception.

In later generations, their bus stops where only the elderly waited for the bus were beautifully built.

Despite the small number of people in the Peacekeeping Bureau, Maozi actively participated in recreational activities such as watching movies, and bought tickets even if he missed one glass of wine.

As a result, there was a long queue outside the screening hall. People were breathing heavily and stamping their feet from the cold.

When it was Peter Grebbin's turn, the conductor stretched out his hand: "Where are the tickets?"

"Huh? We are the main actors, but we still need tickets?"

"Listen to my advice, don't test our Mr. Zhao on money. If Jesus comes, don't even think about entering without a ticket."

These creative staff cursed and bought tickets to go in.

Looking at his heroic appearance on the screen, Peter Grabbin was shocked: "This is me? Do I deserve it?"

Levitan stomped his feet: "Why should I take charge of the camera? Why am I not on camera? Oh, this is such an opportunity. I am much more handsome than Peter Grebin, and I can also fight better than him."

Nakamura Ken cursed: "That little Japanese devil is disgusting."

Shirasaka Kimi looked at him sideways: "Isn't that you?"

The people around him stared at Nakamura Ken with evil intentions.

Nakamura Ken was startled: "Huh? That's not me, don't get me wrong."

But not long after, Nakamura Ken saw that he had died at the hands of Peter Grebin, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The protagonist's narrow victory in seven kills exposed his fatal flaw. Although I was defeated slightly, I can't hide my kingly demeanor."

People around: “Okay, it’s you indeed!”

Nakamura Ken: "Ah, watching a movie is just a movie, why do you still do it? Ah... help me, gentlemen!"

Neither the main creative staff nor the onlookers during the filming could have imagined that the story of the finished film would be so exciting.

They have no idea what they are playing.

Looking at it again at this time, the beauty is beautiful, the evil is evil, and it is refreshing. There are different feelings.

Only Zhao Chuanxin, who was in the screening room, spouted all kinds of rubbish: "It's really bad acting, it's just a piece of shit..."

Having seen the Milky Way, I cannot ignore the light of fireflies.

Shirasaka Nome was surprised: "Sir, what a great performance, how can you say it's not good?"

When Zhao Chuanxin saw Peter Grebin smiling like an idiot at the end of the screen, he couldn't help but raise his forehead and said, "The stump next to him is better at acting than him."

After the first round of screenings, some people lined up to continue watching the movie, and some rushed to tell each other.

In the afternoon, the news spread to the South Island and the North Island.

Sakhalin is so desolate that Russians and Japanese from the North and South Islands heard that there were movies to watch, and they wanted to come and see something new.

The pressure on the defenders at the North and South Passes doubled.

I don't know who is so good at convincing the defenders of Beidao Pass to come to the Peacekeeping Bureau to watch a movie with them.

In the afternoon, not only outside the screening room, but also the Fuxiang Tavern next to it was crowded.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Masayoshi Sato to inquire about the audience's reaction to the movie at Fuxiang Tavern.

The audience couldn't even tell the difference between story and reality, and looked around for Ken Nakamura to beat him to death again to satisfy their hatred.

It is conceivable how successful Zhao Chuanxin was in discrediting the Russians in Sakhalin and the Japanese authorities.

After flattering the Peacekeeping Bureau, the Peacekeeping Bureau became a paradise that everyone yearned for.

…

Lugang Town.

Zhao Zhongyi, Liu Baogui, Gao Li, Er Feizi, Zhang Daquan, etc. all came to the cinema to watch "Sakhalin Bitter Journey".

Zhang Daquan thought of the long queue outside the screening room and wondered: "Since there is money to be made, why not add benches, or just let the audience stand to watch?"

No one can explain it clearly.

Instead, Benjamin Goldberg, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said, "Uncle Zhang, the cinema can be full, but not overcrowded. My master said that this is called hunger marketing."

Zhang Daquan scratched his head: "Hunger marketing? Isn't this a monkey show?"

Benjamin Goldberg said happily: "Many times, people like the feeling of being monkeys. When they are monkeys, they will feel patriotic and will accept high prices. If you sell things at a high price, monkeys will feel more face, and the fewer they sell, the more they will want to grab them."

"Chao!"

Zhao Zhongyi and others in the back row cursed at the same time.

I think that the eldest disciple Zhao Chuanxin is really a piece of shit.

Are you saying that he is cheap?

The audience reaction in the cinema screening room in Lugang Town is exactly the same as in other places.

As Benjamin Goldberg said, extending the screening line will extend the life of the film.

Many people feel unsatisfied after watching it once, and buy tickets again to watch the movie.

As for Liu Huaqiang, Jin Wuzhi, Neng Chengwen, Boyarkov, Hu Er, Tang Qunying, Li Tonglong, Dadong and others, they could only watch the second show.

January 7, 1910, the day after the Minor Cold, became a carnival day for all places.

But there were also unhappy people, such as Sone Hidetsu, a new train attendant on the South Manchuria Railway.

He left his colleagues' sight, came to the cargo compartment, and said to his companions hiding there: "Things have changed, hide the explosives."

"Exposed?"

"No." Sone Hidetsu looked helpless: "I received news that because the Lugang Town Cinema was showing the movie "Sakhalin Bitter Journey", representatives from all over the Lugang Town Conference did not leave today, and they went to watch the movie in groups."
