In Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA, taking advantage of the economic crisis, Lightning Film Company has occupied a photography base covering an area of nearly a thousand acres. Newly built Eastern and Western buildings are dotted throughout, and people of all colors are constantly coming and going. It really feels like time and space are changing.
As night falls, on the Southeast Asian-style small street in the southeast corner of the base, coconut and banana trees line the road sparsely, plus some tropical plants. The shadows of the trees are whirling and the lights are flashing. The whole street is shrouded in a melancholy atmosphere.
in the atmosphere.
At this time, an Oriental woman in a kimono with bare feet and messy black hair was running on the street. Someone pushed a camera on the track and followed closely. Then the woman fell to the ground and made a sound.
Jiao Hu, her delicate ankle was scratched by the gravel, and drops of blood oozed... At this moment, a "click" sounded, and everyone had a smile on their faces and breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone stepped forward to help the woman up and comforted her in a low voice. The woman chuckled a few times, parted the messy hair on her forehead, looked back at everyone, her beautiful dimples were revealed at the corners of her mouth, and she waved her hand to indicate that she was okay.
.
It turns out that this is the filming site of the movie "Looking Homeward", and the last scene "Running to Freedom" is being shot intensely.
Director Skatu didn't understand at first why he would spend huge sums of money to shoot a documentary film about Japanese prostitutes. With such a tragic and tortuous plot, would anyone be willing to spend money in theaters? But now major theaters in the United States are
The popular documentary "Blood Evidence" made him vaguely understand a lot. During this period, Japan successively launched the September 18th Incident and the January 28th Incident, and the military launched a blatant coup to kill Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi and many other military and political veterans, leaving the United States
In addition to the people's fear of this crazy country, they also have endless curiosity. If such a unique movie comes out at this time, it will surely set off a new wave of box office climax.
The next plot is that the woman climbed to the heights of the town, looked at the northern sky in a daze, and finally jumped off the tall rock resolutely. With the loss of life, her wide eyes silently complained about the impact of militarism on human nature.
persecution.
"Stuck! Okay, I passed it once, very good!"
Skatu shouted with satisfaction. He was a little surprised that the film was shot so smoothly. However, the performances of several Japanese women in the film were very exciting. This is not to say how good their acting skills are, but
It's because they have been engaged in this kind of profession before and have experienced similar psychological struggles. This performance is completely true to their true nature. No wonder it is so lifelike and brilliant.
Speaking of the origins of these actresses, Skatu felt a little emotional. He really could not have imagined that there was such a despicable government in the world that would frantically organize women from his own country to work in groups, but in fact they went to other countries in droves.
The country sells its body and soul to earn foreign exchange income to supplement national construction. It also has the mission of stealing other countries' confidential information.
Yes, these women have a heart-warming nickname - Daisy. The leading role is Ah Hui, who has a pretty face and has received special agent training. In the end, she couldn't stand the cruel oppression and intrigues of her spy career, so she turned to the local British
The intelligence service surrendered.
Under Ah Hui's identification, the British colonial authorities launched a rapid attack and rescued dozens of Japanese girls from Xingzhou and other places who were either courtesans, dancers, or prostitutes engaged in the lowest life of human flesh.
The British government and intelligence agencies did not expect that this humble little brother of Japan would extend its evil claws to them. They were very angry and lodged a solemn protest to the Japanese government. Unexpectedly, the Japanese government denied it and said that all these women were voluntary. The reason why they said that
He just wanted to obtain the right to reside in the UK, and also expressed his intention to extradite him back to the country to interrogate the person behind it.
The British government is now in trouble. It is really not worth it to have an enemy with Japan, its little brother, because of these female spies. But if it is ignored, what will be the face of the British Empire? At the time when it is in a dilemma, the British domestic human rights organizations
After intervening, the colonial authorities followed suit and these Japanese women were sent back to London. They found an old house to live in and then left them to fend for themselves.
This incident caused a small stir in the media in London. After learning about it, the British intelligence team quickly reported it to An Yi. Without thinking, An Yi immediately instructed that this was good film material and that these girls must be picked up as soon as possible.
The United States then arranged to shoot a movie to accuse Japanese imperialism of being cruel and ruthless.
At first, these girls were reluctant, but the embarrassing life and cruel reality did not allow them to make more choices. When the contact person of Lightning Film Company proposed that all the actors participating in the performance would receive a high salary of US$500,000 in total,
All the girls were moved. Anyway, they had already broken ties with the Japanese authorities. Instead of enduring the humiliation and living in this world, it would be better to expose them completely, seek asylum in the United States, and live a free life.
It was under this circumstance that the project of "Looking Homeward" was officially launched and filming began, and it has finally been successfully completed today.
After necessary adaptations, the character background, time and location of the film have been changed. The general idea is that after the Russo-Japanese War, although Japan won the war, the national debt was high and people's lives were difficult. At this time, the Japanese government's labor department came forward
Organize young women to work in Nanyang and European and American countries to make money and contribute to the country's economic development. The heroine Ah Hui is only twelve years old. Her family has been well off since she was a child and her life is worry-free. However, her father, who is in politics, insists on signing up for her, but she has no choice but to do so.
Like most girls, I was sent to Nanyang.
After arriving in Nanyang, these girls were all sent to "vocational and technical schools". At this time, Ah Hui was surprised to find that what she wanted to learn was not textile, sewing, machinery maintenance and other work skills, but how to tease and
Satisfy men, how to win over men when they are climaxing, how to steal important letters and information while dancing with the target or traveling together, how to develop eye contacts to obtain precious information, etc. At the entrance ceremony, keep a small group of young men
The principal with a beard and thick glasses warned: Girls who do not do well in school will be sent to various farming sites and shipyards to work as the lowest prostitutes. Those with good grades can enjoy luxury houses and cars, spend lavishly, and become the most humble prostitutes in the empire.
Daisy in need. On the first night at school, the beautiful Ah Hui was gang-raped by the sanctimonious principal and several instructors.
Under the strict reward and punishment system, when the one-month training period expired, Ah Hui had become a qualified Daisy and was sent to Xingzhou to become a high-level socialite. She traveled among all races and had a bit of red lips tasted by thousands of people.
Her unique baby face with big breasts and beautiful and graceful body has attracted many foreigners. Because she was born in a wealthy family, she has been trained in singing and dancing, flower arrangement, piano art, tea ceremony and so on since she was a child, and has developed a unique oriental charm.
, Ah Hui's reputation grew day by day, and she became the most popular woman in Xingzhou.
Two years later, World War I broke out, and Japan wanted to take action against Germany, which occupied Shandong, China. In order to understand Germany's troop deployment and the possible responses of various countries, Daisies all over China and colonies in Southeast Asia took urgent action.
, to collect information through various channels. Relying on women's natural talents, they collected all the unsuspecting words spoken at the wine table and between the beds, reported them to their superiors, and then analyzed and summarized them.
Ah Hui made a huge contribution to this end. During a desperate encounter with a German youth who admired her, she obtained real information, which allowed the Japanese government to confirm the fact that the German troops were empty, and thus decisively sent troops to Qingdao and occupied Qingdao.
This famous city has been coveted for a long time.
However, Japan did not give Ah Hui the reward he deserved. In their opinion, this was what Ah Hui should do. Later, Ah Hui was sorting through the belongings of the German young man and found the letter he left behind. In the letter
In the film, the German young man expressed his unforgettable love for Ah Hui and said that he would propose to her when he came back from Qingdao, which made Ah Hui feel extremely guilty.
When similar stories happened again and again, Ah Hui finally couldn't bear the inner torture and felt disgusted with her dirty body. Finally one day, she climbed to the top of the hill where her sisters often looked at their hometown, jumped off and ended her life.
took away her young life.
The story is very dark and sad, and there are many revealing scenes, but after careful editing and previews, Scato was finally convinced that in the current atmosphere, the film would be successful.
In fact, in order to cooperate with the promotion of the film, as early as a month ago, newspapers and magazines such as "New York Daily", "The American", "Los Angeles Post", "Today's Concern", etc. began to appear sporadically about Daisy and Japanese government organizations.
Reports of women engaging in sex life in exchange for foreign currency gradually attracted the attention of the American public.
This discussion later converged into a frenzy, targeting the Japanese government.
Just last week, feminist organizations in the United States specially organized a large march. The marchers held banners and chanted slogans such as "Protest the abuse of women" and "Shameless government and shameless people". They started from the gate of the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C.
He walked past, making the Japanese ambassador extremely embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
On July 10, the film "Looking Homeward" was officially released in major theaters across the United States. Due to the adequate pre-publicity and the endless negative news in Japan recently, it attracted the attention of all Americans. As soon as the film was released, there was a viewing frenzy.
.
In a luxurious small screening room at the Sunshine Cinema in Manhattan, New York, Jack Morgan, chairman of the Morgan Consortium, and his partner Lamont sat together, enjoying the film and communicating in a low voice.
"My dear friend, can you see anything through this video?" When Jack Morgan saw the footage of Ah Hui being gang-raped by the Japanese principal and a group of instructors, he frowned and turned to Lamont and asked.
Lamont shook his head indifferently: "There are tragic things everywhere in this world, and I can't pay attention to every one of them. It's hard to believe that such a vulgar film could pass the review of those at the Film Association. It seems that I have to
Just write an article to protest."
Jack Morgan said: "Lamont, I think it's time for you to reflect on your stance towards Japan. Don't you know how bad your comments have been for our Morgan consortium?"
"Jack, do you want to ask me to accuse you? I admit that my previous views on Japan were a bit one-sided, but this is also for the sake of our career! Think about it, Japan has always been our main customer for Morgan, but China has not
There is no business to be done, and they still owe a considerable amount of foreign debt that has not been repaid. The Chinese are a cunning, hypocritical nation. They are double-faced opportunists and do not deserve sympathy at all. But Manchuria is indispensable to Japan.
Few, they used their blood and sweat to build a barrier against the Soviet Union in the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, and invested hundreds of millions of yen in Manchuria. In addition, there are millions of Japanese overseas living there, so it is understandable that they have needs.
.And the development of Manchuria will naturally provide loans to our banks, which will bring a steady stream of income to our company." Lamont said plausibly.
Jack Morgan sighed: "Sometimes, we can't just think about money, we have to think about more... Do you think the millions of Chinese refugees in Manchuria and the unjust deaths of civilians in Shanghai deserve it?"
? Can one country and nation really decide the life or death of another country and nation?"
Lamont hesitated, and finally said: "I can't see clearly the situation in Japan now. Our old friend Prime Minister Takeshi Inukai was openly shot to death by nine young officers in front of his official residence, but the murderer went unpunished and even got a promotion.
, this makes me very uneasy...but I firmly believe that Japan will return to civilian government soon."
Jack Morgan stared at the stubborn Lamont with his mouth open, feeling that there was no way to convince him, and he felt frustrated.
At this time, Jack Morgan was already a semi-retired nominal president, while Lamont was in charge of all affairs of the company. Six months ago, Lamont mobilized more than 100 banks around the world to jointly defend the gold standard of more than 20 currencies including the pound.
Jack Morgan secretly manipulated the system, and soon Lamont's efforts were in vain. The gold standard came to an end, and the pound depreciated by 30%, causing many banks to suffer huge losses. At that time, the two had a public quarrel.
, and finally ended with Lamont's overall victory. At that time, Lamont and Charles Steele, the main partner of Morgan, signed a statement of denunciation, which prevented Jack Morgan from stepping down, and also marked the emergence of Morgan Bank as a family bank.
The end of.
The film continued to play. The more Jack Morgan watched, the more angry he became. The more he watched, the more he felt that Japan was dirty and shameless. However, Lamont ignored public opinion and continued to support Japan. This made him find it difficult to understand and extremely unacceptable. When the film ended,
When Hui Tiaoyan died and his empty eyes showed endless sorrow, Jack Morgan finally broke out: "Lamont, I hope you can take care of yourself and don't use Morgan's money to pay for your own stubbornness!" After saying that, he stood up.
He walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Lamont stared straight at the movie screen and murmured: "Am I really wrong to stump me?"
…
"Looking Home" set off a viewing frenzy across the United States, so much so that the first greeting people asked when they met was either "Have you seen the movie?" or "The Japanese are so despicable and shameless!" Japan's reputation was greatly affected.
The impact has caused the entire Japanese population in the United States to live in despair for a long time, not to mention the impact on Japanese prostitutes engaged in the porn industry - almost every Japanese prostitute will be arrested
He went into the local police station and asked if he was a Japanese spy and how much U.S. intelligence he had stolen? This led to constant acrimony between the United States and Japan.
Later, as "Looking Home" was introduced to Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and China, it caused greater controversy and repercussions. The Japanese became the laughing stock of people all over the world for a period of time, but it accelerated the pace of domestic militarism.
