While the heads of state were having frantic meetings, Lin Youde was enthusiastically composing modern operas.
Lin Youde, who returned from the 21st century, deeply understands the importance of occupying the public opinion propaganda position. In that era where "public opinion" was completely grassroots with the help of the Internet, the truth is no longer important. What is important is what most people believe.
It's the truth. As long as there are enough people who believe it, even the most absurd things can become the truth.
It was an era when the truth was truly grasped by the majority of people - because in that era anything would be elevated to truth as long as it was believed by the majority of people.
In the 21st century, the grassroots world of public opinion is full of such people. They show their high integrity and ambition to help the world on the Internet, but in reality they have never donated a penny to Project Hope and have never
They have participated in volunteer activities for even one hour; while using their mobile phones to condemn the violent law enforcement of urban management on the Internet, they also shouted harshly at the vendors who soiled the sidewalk below their houses; they shouted for democracy, but what they thought in their hearts was "Let me do it."
dictatorship".
Lin Youde is different. As a graduate of sociology-related majors, he has a nationally recognized professional social worker certificate. During his internship, he worked in the poorest community in Guangzhou for three months. Later, although he did not choose to become a social worker who dedicated himself
He is a professional social worker who shines a light on others, but he still takes time out to participate in community volunteer activities every week. In Lin Youde’s view, instead of chatting online for a month, it is better to go to the community to help pick up garbage for a day and make a greater contribution to society - at least picking up garbage does make a big contribution to society.
Our lives have become a little bit better.
A hundred years later, in that great meager era, Lin Youde completely lost interest in "ism" and became a downright doer. Ever since he made up his mind to change China, he has adopted pragmatic strategies. In addition to supporting the scene, he has never
He has never shouted any "ism" and has never publicly promoted his political ideals.
But he still needs to seize the public opinion position.
And he wants to use the "practical things" he has done to win the people over to his side, leaving others with absolutely no way out.
In an era without **, to achieve the publicity effect that Lin Youde needs, it is definitely not possible to rely on the literary and artistic young people who are still playing in the spring and snow. With their little ability, they can only achieve the publicity effect that Lin Youde needs with a pitifully small circulation and only among intellectuals.
The newspapers and magazines circulating among them write some articles full of scholarly enthusiasm. In the last time and space, these scholars wrote and advocated for decades, and the combined effect was not as good as that of the local tyrants who said "attack the local tyrants and divide the land."
Well come.
Similarly, the experience of the Rabbit Communist Party tells Lin Youde that to open up the propaganda situation, opera, allegro and other methods that are close to the people are the way to go. The response that Lin Youde's "composed" songs in recent years have received from the people fully proves this.
Feasibility of experience.
This is also a major consideration for Lin Youde when he chooses to strengthen his artistic abilities: In this way, he does not need to spend time and energy on letting those so-called intellectuals and artists understand Lin Youde's intentions. He only needs to worry about what he wants.
Create—or simply copy from later generations.
Anyway, Lin Youde is very free and has plenty of time.
After Lin Youde returned to Helangyabo, he spent a month, based on his own memories of later generations, and integrating a large number of realistic materials from this time and space, to create the modern Peking Opera "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", which mainly tells the story of the Sino-Russian War.
, the story of a legendary hero, He Laoliu, who led a small team deep behind enemy lines and used wit and courage to defeat the stupid Tsarist Russian invaders in the snowy fields.
During the first performance, Lin Youde personally took the stage to play the leading role of He Laoliu. That day, the huge Helangyabo street was packed with people. From then on, children all over Northern Luzon changed their lines when playing war games like this: "The king of heaven covers the ground."
Tiger!" "Pagoda suppresses the river demon!" "Why is your face so yellow?" "Wax to protect against cold!"….
The popularity of this drama has plunged the life of He Laoliu, the real fighting hero and Gold Star medalist of the Coiling Dragon Sword, into a state of misery - think about it, this old man is almost 60 years old.
What a big deal it is to receive love poems from young female students every day!
After that, Lin Youde spent another month to come up with various local opera versions of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", and let the famous actors and actresses who paid a lot of money to come back to practice them and go on tour across the country.
As a result, Lin Youde's reputation continued to rise. Lin Youde did not hesitate and continued to improve his artistic skills. Within a few months, he learned Beijing, Hu, Erhu, sesame paste, mastered the piano, harp, harmonium, and was also proficient in the trombone and cornet.
Small snail number.
Even Josephine was surprised: "Are you so versatile? How come I have been married for so long and only now find out?"
Ba even said, "I've known you for so long, but I never knew you could do this."
Lin Youde's answer to this was also very simple, "That's because I am a man who hides himself deeply."
In this way, the secretive Lin Youde transformed from a powerful official of the Qing Dynasty into a talented artist. He usually either taught his chosen students in school and taught them all kinds of private goods, or he traveled to various salons or performances.
, playing music and singing jokes while showing off his beautiful wife.
People who don't know think that Lin Youde has been sidelined by Lin Ji's internal struggle.
Lin Youde's actions after returning to Helang Yabo soon won him the title of "Modern Empress Li". The major newspapers and periodicals in the mainland began to "get angry at him" no matter where they sat.
", complaining about everything but others.
The newspapers that Lin Ji invested and operated in the interior immediately retorted, saying that our Brother Lin has always been like this, and as a result he beat away the Spaniards and then the old Maozi. You old antiques just looked at them and died with all their integrity. In the past fifty years, the results have been
Without a single victory, the two competed immediately.
For a time, several factions of imperial literati in China turned their articles into daggers and threw spears into the fight, but Lin Youde, the person involved, did not even look at them.
After the great success of "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", Lin Youde created another modern opera - Lin Youde's version of "The White-Haired Girl". The general plot is similar to the original version, and many classic lyrics are almost copied, but based on Lin Youde's own aesthetics.
The music was rearranged, the background was changed to Nanyang, Huang Shiren was also changed into the blond, blue-eyed, pot-bellied Spanish colonist Robinson, and the bad guy was replaced by the comprador Li Fugui.
Some people may wonder, who the hell would this 21st-century otaku remember the lyrics of "The White-Haired Girl"? But Lin Youde remembers it. He not only remembers the lyrics and lyrics of Chinese operas, but also remembers the lyrics of many famous foreign works.
The Chinese translation of the lyrics, "Turandot", "Carmen", and "The Marriage of Figaro" are all set one after another, and you can tell which scene it is just by listening to the prelude. Why is this? Because in Lin Youde University
The teacher of the elective course called Foreign Classical Music was an unmarried beauty. Lin Youde took all her courses in three years of college, and she always ranked among the top in the class. In the end, the beautiful teacher did not hook up with him, so he himself
Became half an opera fan.
When he was young, Lin Youde liked to do this kind of putting the cart before the horse.
At this moment, he clicked on his talent again and adapted "The White-Haired Girl" perfectly.
However, this Lin Youde is different from the group of people who created "The White-Haired Girl". Those people were influenced by traditional art and grew up. Lin Youde grew up watching commercial blockbusters. When he was just a child, he happened to be in the domestic "Pursuit".
" normalized the situation, so Kobayashi Youde first learned "Didn't Zhaocang jump? Tangta also jumped...so please jump too", and then learned "Bambino, don't be afraid!" and "Look
, this city, it is Walter", and finally the traditional old movie lines, such as "Commander Tang, I have made great achievements for the party and the country". Later, Lin Youde introduced a lot of words without explanation in that era.
I have been immersed in American blockbusters, Hong Kong blockbusters, and Japanese blockbusters for a long time…
Hollywood blockbusters, in particular, have a great influence on Lin Youde, so there are many aspects of the story "The White-Haired Girl" that do not suit his aesthetics. Apart from anything else, although the final ending is a good one, Lin Youde always feels that there is something else that makes him unhappy. Lin Youde
I have always despised those awkward and uncomfortable Skewer directors and screenwriters in China, like Feng Shigang. A good "Episode" turned out to be so painful, revengeful and tragic in the end, but it still has the nerve to be called China's "Saving Private Soldiers".
"Well", the ending of "Saving Private Ryan" is so righteous, sunny and American.
So, don’t blame the shithole, blame the radio and television for your stupidity. Which Hollywood blockbuster is not the main theme film? In "The Avengers", Chris Evans gave the symbol of the American spirit to
Just put it on, okay?
Therefore, if Chinese movies want to be popular, they have to follow a similar path. The plot can have twists and turns, but the final result must be hearty and hearty. It must be as bloody as Chen Zhen kicking the plaque of the Sick Man of East Asia, or as Ip Man saying "I want to
"Ten ten" is so refreshing.
Fuck your sister's art, I spent more than 100 yuan to go to the cinema and watch the huge screen to have fun, not to be depressed!
Based on this concept, Lin Youde changed the second half of his version of "The White-Haired Girl".
The final ending was changed by Lin Youde to look like this: Xi'er is holding the flower trap that has become the iconic weapon of the Nanyang Army in her left hand, and holding the bright red eighteen-star flag high in her right hand, she rushes to the stage barricade in the middle of the stage and kicks over the stool.
Chen Si, put the flag on his anus. Behind her was a large group of Chen Si, who was carrying various weapons and posing in the classic pose of the red opera. At the same time, everyone in the Lin Kee controlled area could sing "Nanyang Army"
"Onward" begins to sound, and often the whole audience will sing in chorus at this time, and the atmosphere of the whole play will surge to its climax.
In addition to the changes in the plot, Lin Youde also added many small details that reflect his personal taste in the play. For example, in the scene where Yang Bailao tied Xi'er's headband, Lin Youde widened the red headband, and then personally designed several quite beautiful ones.
Fancy bow for Xi'er. In the previous time and space, Lin Youde's approach would have been criticized for haphazardly changing the red classics, but in this time and space, this change was deeply loved by young people, and all of Lin Ji's red classics were suddenly popular in all supply and marketing cooperatives.
The headbands are sold out. Walking on the streets of Heranggabo, you can see girls wearing red headbands everywhere.
This trend eventually spread to Lin Youde's own home, causing Lin Youde to comb Sophie's hair and tie her hair every day.
Of course, Lin Youde is not just venting his nationalistic sentiments. His wife is a blond foreign girl, so he arranged a kind and upright foreign knight girl in this new drama as the general representative of "kind and friendly foreign friends"
.
This approach was regarded by the British "Times" as a manifestation of Lin Youde's "hypocrisy" and warned Western society to be wary of Holland's ambitions. This represented a significant rise in the Yellow Peril theory in the UK. This trend has also spread to the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom.
In the United States, which had close relations with Britain, President Roosevelt, who had good relations with Holland and had a close personal relationship with Lin Youde, was under great pressure.
But the French did not take this view seriously. Lin Youde's version of "The White-Haired Girl" received a very good response in France after it was translated into French.
The response of this drama in mainland China was mediocre, which Lin Youde expected, and was far inferior to "Lin Hai Xue Yuan". Most of the landowners and bureaucrats saw that there was something fishy in it, and they felt uncomfortable when they came out of the theater.
How can we applaud it if we are so tight? And those people who should have been deeply touched by this drama have also lost interest because Huang Shiren was replaced by a foreigner.
This really taught Lin Youde a lesson...
Lin Youde was having a good time here, and his subordinates were also working hard to advance various tasks.
In June 1901, the Nanyang Army received the first Krupp field gun imitated by Lin Kee. Lin Kee's self-produced heavy artillery finally achieved zero breakthrough, although the accuracy and reliability were not as good as the original German ones.
Goods, but still of great significance.
In July 1901, Lin Kee's own alchemy factory was put into operation. The production scale was only one-third of the British Royal Alchemy Factory in India, but it still made Lin Kee celebrate for several days.
In August 1901, the construction and assembly of the new factory building of the Shipping Bureau of Helangyabo was completed, and the first keel of the newly designed 3,000-ton torpedo armored cruiser was laid. In the same month, the newly built Zhan Crab 8 aircraft held an incorporation ceremony and was officially organized.
Entering the Navy's combat sequence - therefore these eight aircraft did not adopt the technical test force paint like the previous four prototypes, but adopted the naval force's warship gray and navy blue paint.
Compared with various military projects and high-tech projects whose progress was not seriously delayed due to the war, Lin Kee's civilian projects were much more obviously affected by the war, such as the North Luzon Ring Railway, iron ore and steel plants, etc.
Construction was seriously lagging behind, forcing Nanyang Bank to spend extra money to purchase steel and other raw materials for military projects. This extra expenditure further slowed down the advancement of civilian projects.
The goal of completing preparations for the Northern Expedition in 1905 seemed to be impossible to achieve successfully no matter what.
After trying many methods without success, Lin Youde could only adjust his schedule.
At this time, there were gradually some criticisms within Lin Ji. Some people believed that Lin Youde had withdrawn his troops from the Northeast too early. He should first scrape the land in the Northeast to get back the money spent on the war before leaving. Regarding these criticisms, Lin Youde was completely
turn a deaf ear.
On the surface, in the Gengzi War, the Nanyang Army contributed the most, but did not gain any substantial benefits. It only gained some false reputations and exposed its trump card, which was a big loss. But Lin Youde didn't think so. He thought
The victory of the Gengzi War provided a solid foundation for Lin Ji to enter the whole of China and for Nanyang Banknotes to unify the domestic banknote circulation field. This is indeed the case, but this "result" is not so easy to see.
In addition, the victory of the Gengzi War also brought another opportunity to Lin Youde.
In the late summer of 1901, Kodama Gentaro, the governor-general of the Japanese Imperial Government in Taiwan, sent a secret envoy to secretly connect with Lin Kee's underground working organization in Taiwan.
The biggest "trouble" that Lin Youde and Lin Ji experienced before 1905 came quietly to his door.
**
Tokyo, British Embassy.
Sir Paul Johnson, the British Ambassador to Japan, put down the thick dossier in his hands. He only glanced at the first few pages of the dossier and realized that this was not something a bureaucrat of his level should touch.
"Sir Roxton, is the source of this top secret file reliable?"
"Reliable." Sir Roxton Doyle, a famous explorer, puffed up his chest proudly, "because I personally sneaked into the Japanese stronghold and copied it with a mercury recorder."
Johnson looked at Roxton seriously, and after a moment he decided to believe the words of this super explorer and enthusiastic amateur spy who had been in the newspapers many times.
The reason why he did this was not very "procedural": he really liked Sir Roxton's book describing his battle of wits and courage with the indigenous tribes in the African jungle. From the bottom of his heart, he felt that this guy should be a ruthless character, just like the legend.
Like the all-powerful Dr. Van Helsing.
"In this case, this secret information should be sent to the Queen immediately, and I will arrange for the use of the telegraph machine in the confidential room..." Johnson stopped himself, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he changed his words, "No.
, I suspect that the Chinese have the means to eavesdrop on our telegraph communications. Sir Roxton, have you memorized all the details of this intelligence?"
"certainly."
So Johnson picked up the file, took a match from his pocket, lit it, and threw it into the fireplace in the study.
"Please return to the country in person and state the contents of this intelligence to Her Majesty the Queen. I will ask the confidential office to send a telegram to introduce you to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Well, actually, I am preparing to go to the United States to experience the unique culture of the Indians..."
"Please." Johnson interrupted Ralston, "This information is very important and must be delivered to the Queen without fail. The British Empire and Her Majesty the Queen need your service and selfless dedication, Sir."
