How to become a Ming Dynasty person?

The answer is very simple.

As long as you are Chinese, it's fine. Every Chinese is a Ming person. Ming is the country of all Chinese!

Every year, millions of Chinese immigrate to the Ming Dynasty from their homeland. Overseas Chinese can apply for passports directly at the embassy or consulate, but what about it?

What they applied for was only an expatriate passport, and they still needed some assessments to become naturalized.

Just like naturalized citizens must pass the "Chinese Language Proficiency Test", Chinese people also need to take an exam to become naturalized. The content of the exam is very simple. It is actually just a simple cultural test, which is just to eliminate illiteracy. Of course, Chinese people also need to pass the "Chinese Language Proficiency Test" to become naturalized.

Why?

The Ming Dynasty treated everyone equally, including its own people. Those Hispanics and Spanish-Indian mixed-race people had to pass tests before they could get a high school diploma, enter university, and then work as civil servants, teachers, lawyers and other professions. Of course, the Chinese should do the same.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is fair!

"From now on, I am a Ming person."

Like all people who hold an expatriate passport, Chen Shao finally passed the most difficult "oral test" after "overcoming many difficulties". For him, the reason why it was difficult was because.

“I am from Guangdong…”

Although it was a bit difficult, I finally passed the exam.

To celebrate, he went to the cinema again.

After arriving in Yingtian, if there was anything that attracted Chen Shao, it was the cinema, or more generally, the theater that specializes in showing Daming movies. Few people who have been to Daming have not watched "movies", after all, this is also a feature of Daming.

Until now, Chen Ming still remembers that when he first entered the dark house, he was confused. Suddenly, the lights came on, and a train suddenly appeared in front of him, spewing white gas and whizzing towards him.

Facing the oncoming train, Chen Shao almost rolled off the table and chair to the ground. Just as he was trying to escape by rolling and crawling, the laughter around him made him realize that the train could not get out.

The picture projected on the cloth is the "movie scene", and the train is just the light and shadow on the curtain.

However, the light and shadow on the cloth are exactly the same as the real thing!

From then on, he became obsessed with movies, and it could even be said that he was obsessed with them uncontrollably.

He has been coming to the movies almost every day for the past two months.

Movie tickets were very cheap. The kind he watched didn't have much of a plot. It was just a short film about the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and its industry. It was only a penny and was about ten minutes long.

There is another type of movie that has a plot. The length of the movie may be half an hour, or forty to fifty minutes. There are both comedies and dramas. Of course, there are also some documentaries about construction or war. Such movies only cost two cents.

Although it is cheap enough, the movie theater runs many shows every day, with each show attracting at least 50 to 60 people and at most several hundred people, so the flow of people is huge.

What was different today was that Chen Shao did not go into the cinema. He stood under the telephone pole opposite the cinema, holding a bottle of iced Coca-Cola in his hand, just standing there... and counting people.

"It's not even ten o'clock yet, and there are already a thousand people!"

When the number of people watching the movie exceeded 1,000, Chen Shao was extremely surprised. There were too many people!

"One cent per person, and there are already 1,000 people here before night. If we count the number of people at night, there must be thousands of people? ... The daily turnover must be at least tens or even hundreds of yuan. How much money does it take to invest in a cinema like this?"

Recalling the area of ​​the cinema, Chen Shao suddenly clapped his hands excitedly.

"Okay, this is the deal."

In fact, he came to Daming from New York this time not only to apply for naturalization and become a Daming person, but also to find some business opportunities here and bring them back to New York.

After two months here, he made up his mind to return to New York to open a movie theater. After all, there are no movie theaters in New York or the entire United States.

It’s definitely profitable to do such a unique business!

Sometimes there are long queues in Ming Dynasty, let alone in the United States?

Whenever he thought of this idea, Chen Shao's heart trembled with excitement.

However, it is not easy to open a cinema. When he wanted to buy a projector, he encountered problems.

"It's not that we don't want to sell it, but our product orders have been scheduled until June this year, and the company has regulations that products should be supplied to the country first. You want to open a cinema in New York..."

In the exhibition hall of Phoenix Optical Instrument Company, when Chen Shao asked to buy a projector, the salesperson simply shook his head and refused.

"I estimate that your order will be filled until at least next year."

"next year!"

In an instant, Chen Shao was dumbfounded. He never expected that the result would be like this. How could this be?

"Sir, please think about it. I really want to open a movie theater in New York. When the time comes, sir, I will buy as many movies as you make and show them to the foreigners, so that they can see the atmosphere of China."

Chen Shao directly played the card of "letting foreigners broaden their horizons", but the other party still directly refused.

"What you said is useless. Good things should be used by our own people first. But don't worry, sir. The company didn't know at the beginning that the movie would be so popular. Now we are adding equipment. Soon after our new factory goes into production, the production of movie projectors will increase. By then, it will naturally be your turn."

Just when Chen Shao was rejected again and left Phoenix Optical Instrument Company listlessly, in the Royal Screening Hall in Yingtian, Emperor Zhu was watching a new movie, which was a documentary about the construction of the hydropower station.

That was the first hydroelectric power station in the Ming Dynasty, with an installed capacity of only 30,000 kilowatts, but it was also a good start!

Looking at the spectacular engineering scenes in the movie, Emperor Zhu turned his head and asked.

"It seems that there are no movie theaters in the United States and Europe right now."

"Your Majesty, our production is very limited. Compared to projectors, the market demand for cameras is greater now. We can't even get a production order for projectors, and there are also problems with the production of film. So for now, we don't have much motivation to expand overseas markets."

Listening to the answer from Cheng Kun, the general manager of Universal Pictures, Emperor Zhu frowned.

"We can't always think about the market at home. Due to technical limitations, European and American countries still have no cinemas. Now is the time for us to seize this opportunity and grab the market. The investment in cinemas is not large. If Chinese people can open cinemas in Europe and America like they opened laundromats in the United States, it will not only help change the image of Chinese people in various countries, but most importantly..."

The most important thing is that they control the most powerful tool of public opinion in this era! Why do Jews have such a high status in the United States? One very important reason is that most Hollywood movie moguls are Jews. The so-called eight major film companies were all founded by Jews. They not only make movies, but what is the most important thing? They control the theaters, and they further control movies through the theaters. No matter what movie anyone wants to make, it must be released. If the mainstream theaters cannot release it, then the movie will definitely lose money. This is why Jews can decide what kind of movies to make.

Since the Jews can use money to control the cinemas, why can't the Ming Dynasty use technology to control the cinemas? Before European and American countries enter this industry, they should first spread Chinese cinemas around the world...

By that time, it will no longer be the directors who decide what movies to make, but the Chinese who decide what movies they make. It doesn’t matter if they don’t make them, because even if they do, no one will watch them.

Or they took the photos but had no place to put them.

I have set up a book club: 335260551. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
