This is the cultural advantage of a strong civilization. Just like when the Tang Dynasty came to tribute to all nations, all Hu people were proud of speaking Chinese and reciting poems and lyrics.
However, the difference is that discrimination in Chinese literati is discrimination. If you use poetry to describe the scenery of your hometown, it is your own business. If you write well, you will also drink a few more songs of color. You will definitely not stipulate that if you want to write poetry, you must write something in it.
This is probably the difference between Eastern and Western civilizations. For a group of guys who are used to being robbers, the people around them must be robbers, and there are absolutely no exceptions, so you can only think about the problem with the robber's thinking.
The content on the big screen continues. With the amazing effect of the big bowl of flying water, Zhu Liankui began to gain fame, with a salary of thousands of dollars, and he also made many friends.
Then a small easter egg was placed here.
Did you see it?It's amazing. You will definitely become a great magician in the future. What's your name?
Houdini, sir, Harry Houdini.
Harry Houdini can be said to be one of the greatest magicians in American history. His original name was Eric Wes, a Hungarian Jew. He immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of 13. Because he was interested in magic since childhood, he established the Brothers Magic Group at the age of 17 and used the surname of Robert Houdini, a famous French magician, the world's handcuffed and jailbreaker, as his stage name.
He is not only a famous escape master, but his water prison escape technique in 1913 made him completely popular throughout the United States, but also very skillful, such as the trick of turning an elephant into pieces in public has always been talked about.
In addition, he often hits the face of some lyricists and uses scientific means to show their frauds, which is considered a pioneer of anti-pseudoscience.
Of course, there are many people who say that Houdini is not worthy of his name, and many magicians of his time have not highly praised him. Olson Wells, the director of "Citizen Kane", said after watching his performance that he was not elegant at all.
The magic master of the contemporary era, Sheva Leroy, also believed that Houdini's magic was not clever, and she performed other people's magic, and could not be improved on the original, so the final effect was not as good as the original.
Some people even later said that Houdini performed escape rather than magic, and escape and magic are two different things.
Throwing the performer into the water prison, watching him break free from the shackles and other constraints, and then coming out of the water prison to greet the audience, this is called escape.
The performer was thrown into the water prison, and seeing that he couldn't get out, he was eager to ask for help from outside, so the firefighters went on stage to knock on the glass to save the person. However, after going on stage, they did nothing, but turned around and took off their hats and saluted. The audience then discovered that the firefighters were performers, which was called magic.
But no matter what, Houdini was always supported by her when she performed escape skills. Her popularity was very high, and later it became a cultural symbol in the United States. When people discuss the behavior of some people beyond ordinary people, they often say that you are Houdini.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Houdini will appear in "The Great Magician" and appreciate Zhu Liankui.
This is also based on facts. Another UP chief examination certificate from time and space, Houdini was also there when Zhu Liankui performed in New York, and when Zhu Liankui got a monthly salary of $1,000, Houdini was only in her early 100s.
Anyway, this is a pretty good easter egg, and the young Houdini is played by Keanu Reeves.
Reeves, who also became popular with "Brothers", but was not as popular as Costner and Washington, agreed to make a guest appearance after a little contact.
However, movies can use these easter eggs to make the audience smile, but to attract them to pay for money to enter the cinema, you still need to work hard on the story.
So Zhu Liankui soon ushered in a major crisis in his life. His fame made many people jealous, so he colluded to bribe officials from the government and wanted to drive him out of the United States with the "Chinese Exclusion Act".
The enemy was coming in full force, and even Colonel Hopkins could not compete head-on, so he could only find people everywhere to find solutions, but there was no effect.
Zhu Liankui expressed his gratitude to Hopkins, thanking him for treating himself and his family in an equal way for so long, and he has made the worst plans.
But Hopkins refused to give up. After thinking hard, he was reminded by an unintentional sentence from his servant: It was very unpleasant to think of Mr. Zhu, who would only perform for their queen mother in the future.
Hopkins, who finally thought of a solution, came to Zhu Liankui's house excitedly and told him not to pack his luggage. He had already thought of a way to let him stay in the United States.
Zhu Liankui didn't believe it very much and thought he was just comforting himself, but Hopkins was very firm: Charles, you have brought many miracles to the United States, but now it's the United States' turn to bring you miracles!
Well, very pure American speech.
Li Xu watched a lot of Hollywood blockbusters in another time and space, and the whole few lines were just a matter of being able to get it.
After that, similar to history, Hopkins created public opinion through his friends in the media industry that Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to recall her imperial court magician, so that the people could rouse a huge willingness to keep them, including many gentry and celebrities.
At any time, public opinion is useful, especially in a particularly large public opinion. There will always be superiors who want to take the opportunity to make profits.
The New York City Bureau naturally could not resist this public opinion, so the city council finally ruled that Zhu Liankui was a special talent and should not be restricted by the Chinese Exclusion Act.
This kind of plot must be placed in domestic movies decades later, and it must be said by public officials to be conquered by public opinion. However, in American movies, it certainly shows democracy and freedom. As for whether the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is a good or an evil law, there is no need to worry about it.
The key is that Americans themselves think so.
This was a climax. After that, Zhu Liankui's fame became more and more high. Hopkins felt that he could march internationally, so he told him to perform in the UK.
That’s right, Europe was the international community at that time, and the United States could only be considered remote countryside, while East Asia and Southeast Asia were the perfect wilderness.
After Zhu Liankui discussed with his wife and children, he agreed that his wife was naturally played by Chen Chong. She and Zunlong had co-starred in "The Last Emperor". Now it is normal for them to co-star in "The Great Magician" together.
Unfortunately, there is no role suitable for Wu Junmei, otherwise the "Last Emperor" trio will work together again, which is also a good gimmick.
Li Xu originally planned to arrange for a white girl to fall in love with Zhu Liankui, but was rejected in the end, so he regretted the plot for life. Anyway, there are examples of white women falling for this Chinese magician in history.
But after careful thinking, I finally gave up. It was not because of the bad rules of the Asian man who could not match the white woman, but because it did not meet the theme of this movie.
Zhu Liankui does not have any romantic and passionate character. The focus of this movie is that there is no strong motherland, and overseas wanderers are nothing, but they are more obscure.
If there is such an extra plot, it may be overshadowed, so let's just forget it.
There is no need to say much about the plot in the UK. It is a showdown with Cheng Liansu, a fake Chinese. As mentioned before, why Zhu Liankui did not appear on the stage of the showdown has caused a lot of speculation. However, whether it is believed that there is a problem with the bet contract or something else, Li Xu was useless, but gave his own judgment.
Just the night before the showdown, a carriage came to Zhu Liankui's residence and picked him up, and the destination was the Qing embassy in London!
Brother Zhu stays here for a day and will naturally leave after tomorrow.The minister said with a smile.
Why is this?!Zhu Liankui was naturally shocked and angry.
Brother Zhu lives in the United States and doesn’t know that we have suffered a lot of grievances in Europe.The minister immediately felt bitter, it was nothing more than that the Chinese were discriminated against and looked down upon by people. Then, now it is rare that a white man would act like a Chinese to perform magic tricks by pretending to be a Chinese, and that no matter how it is, it is the reputation of the Qing Dynasty.
In the above-mentioned Institute, if Zhu Liankui exposed the other party, he would have gained benefits, but he ruined the reputation of the Qing Dynasty that he had finally accumulated. Naturally, the ministers could not allow such a thing to happen.
Zhu Liankui naturally didn't do it. You didn't say it before, but now the matter is coming, and the momentum is being created, but I asked me to retreat. There is no such reason!
So the deputy envoy who was a sing-faced person came out: If you have a surname Zhu, don’t be ungrateful. Even if you are sought after by others, you are just a sing-making person. Don’t think that if you live in Citigroup, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to control you?
No need to do this, Brother Zhu just hit too many times, just let him think about it more.The minister continued to sing.
Then... there was nothing. He was sent to the embassy. Could it be that he could still break out?
Therefore, the next day, Cheng Liansu's famous line spread everywhere with the British newspapers: It's not that Jinlingfu did not come, but that Cheng Liansu turned him away.
Sorry, Charles.Facing Zhu Liankui, who was finally released from the embassy, Hopkins said apologetically.
It's okay, Zhu Liankui shook his head, looked at him, and then took his wife and children together. Let's... go back to the United States.
This will inevitably tick someone's itch again, because the subtext of this sentence is: America is my home.
However, Li Xu was not a vegetarian. Although the plot was not filmed again, it was depicted in words: after the Wuchang Uprising, Zhu Liankui, who had learned photography, took the camera back to his motherland, and with the help of the Americans, he filmed a news-type movie called "Wuhan War".
Although the film in this movie was eventually destroyed by a fire, some clips remained, and the images of Li Yuanhong and others in history books used by Chinese people today are all from the remaining films of this movie.
However, the difference is that discrimination in Chinese literati is discrimination. If you use poetry to describe the scenery of your hometown, it is your own business. If you write well, you will also drink a few more songs of color. You will definitely not stipulate that if you want to write poetry, you must write something in it.
