Chapter 581: Ruining the Scene
Li Ye walked around Lao Song twice and looked him over thoroughly.
A high-end Fenghua brand stand-up collar Tang suit, which makes Old Song's frail figure look tall and straight.
His ruddy complexion was much better than when he was in the mainland, and his hair was even showing signs of turning black again.
It's not the kind of black dyed with chemical pigments, it's real white hair turning black.
Li Ye glanced into the distance at Lao Song's "apprentice and assistant" and began to murmur in his heart.
[Could this old guy really have studied the Dongxuanzi? How come he seems younger and younger? ]
Old Song felt uneasy when Li Ye looked at him, and could only smile awkwardly: "Top Scholar, given my current status, it is not convenient for me to talk to you here for long. How about I invite you to visit this cherry blossom country the day after tomorrow?"
Li Ye tilted his head and glanced at Old Song, then asked with a smile, "Hey, what is your current status?"
Old Song took out a gold-stamped business card and handed it to Li Ye, grinning and saying, "Hehehe, you are just trying to cover up trouble, you are just trying to cover up trouble."
When Li Ye saw the business card, he was surprised to find out that Old Song was now the chairman of the "Tang Dynasty Culture Society", and his business projects included the four treasures of the study, antique appraisal, cultural exchange, etc.
No wonder he came here today! He came here to confuse the client!
Seeing Li Ye holding the business card in deep thought, Old Song quickly added: "The parent company of this cultural club is a company in Hong Kong Island, and the major shareholder is you, the top scholar. I am just taking some pocket money according to the share you gave me in the past."
Li Ye glanced at Lao Song and said calmly, "You set up this business yourself, so I can't take the lion's share. You take 60% and I take 40%."
"No, no, no," Old Song said immediately, "I'm just a worker. If I really want to take the helm, you have to come. If you really think I can do it, give me a 10% share, hehehehe."
Li Ye chuckled and nodded in agreement.
The major shareholders don’t get the money for nothing. When something really happens, they must provide sufficient support.
Old Song opened a pawn shop during the turbulent times fifty years ago. How could he not understand this principle?
When Old Song saw Li Ye nod, he immediately smiled and felt that he could live another fifty years.
Li Ye was originally very generous and gave him a 10% share. Now he has 20%, which he cannot spend all. He can never spend it all. He can't even support ten assistants.
"Then I'll go over to the top scholar first, we'll meet tomorrow."
Old Song was about to leave with a laugh, but suddenly stopped talking and looked at the group of people who had just entered.
Li Ye also looked over and asked, "What's wrong, Old Song? Do you know these people?"
Old Song, with a gloomy face, smiled sinisterly: "We know each other, so they might be here to mess things up."
“.”
. . . . . . . .
This group of people really are here to cause trouble.
"I'm really sorry, I doubt the historical data you showed me. The Tang Dynasty did not have an absolute advantage in military strength. The process and results of several foreign wars were not as easy as your data recorded."
"According to our research from many aspects, the reason why the Tang Dynasty army stayed in the Western Regions for hundreds of years was because they relied on the local foreign armed forces."
"The Battle of Talas was a disastrous defeat for the Tang army because it lost the support of foreign armed forces."
Team leader Zhou and others were obviously caught off guard.
For the sake of "friendship" at this time, the exhibition materials in the mainland do not include war history materials related to the Japanese, such as the "Battle of Baekgang".
But now, in front of so many visitors, these people are questioning the history of the Tang Dynasty's wars in the Western Regions. This is very rude.
Just because you speak so badly of me, does that prove that you are awesome?
"Sir, if you want to question the authenticity of historical materials, please provide real evidence instead of using such unfounded inferences to affect our friendship."
Because there were cultural relics on display this time, there was a researcher named Lao Wei from the Chang'an Museum in the exhibition group. Lao Wei is a man from the northwest with a hot temper, and he immediately stood up to refute.
"friendly?"
A short, stocky Japanese man stood in front and said coldly, "I don't think you are engaging in friendly communication. You are using fabricated history to carry out cultural invasion against us."
"Oh~"
"What is he talking about?"
"He said we were being invaded."
Lao Wei's face turned red immediately. The word "invasion" is an eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese people.
He asked angrily: "Who are you and why are you talking nonsense here?"
An old man stood up with a stern face and said arrogantly: "I am Gao Qiaohejie, the president of the Kyoto Military History Research Association. You know better than me whether I am talking nonsense or not."
"Are these armors and weapons strictly copied from your Tang Dynasty military equipment? You are using fake junk industrial products to deceive our friendly and kind people,"
"Your film also uses a lot of false plots and shots, which deceives our audience mentally."
"And the original author of this film showed shameless contempt for us in his work."
“.”
Li Ye, who was outside the crowd, was not angry about any cultural invasion, because his original intention in making this movie was to spread culture.
As for the shameless contempt, that is an artistic processing of historical records. You can think whatever you want!
Li Ye just asked Lao Song in a low voice: "Why are these people here to make trouble?"
Old Song whispered, "There are many reasons. On the biggest level, they don't recognize that we were once a powerful country, and they don't recognize our historical status in East Asia. On the smaller level, we stole their business."
Li Ye was surprised and asked, "Robbered their business? What do you mean?"
Old Song chuckled and explained, "The Military History Research Association also sells home-guarding armor, but they sell traditional Japanese armor and domaru, which are ugly and expensive."
"Since last year, Hong Kong has started to sell mainland armor here, but they have been strongly resisted.
But after the release of "Hometown", things are obviously different. In fact, many Japanese people admire our culture, and many even believe that their ancestors came from flower farming."
“.”
Li Ye suddenly realized that this was a matter of vital interest. Otherwise, how could a country that sent countless envoys to the Tang Dynasty resist the infiltration of Tang culture?
"Our armor and weapons are all strictly copied from unearthed documents. They are not just works of art, but also our history. So Mr. Gaucho, what you just said was very rude."
Director Xiong was also angry and found the translator to scold him.
He now finally understood what Li Ye meant by "film and television peripherals". Hundreds of sets of armor have already been pre-ordered today, and you're actually here to cut off my source of income?
If this wasn't in a foreign country, the old bear would have jumped over and grabbed the other person's collar.
"history?"
Gao Qiaohejie sneered and pointed at the heavy metal armor and said, "You said this is the standard Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty army. Then who can fight in an armor weighing 80 kilograms? That's not just one person, it's an entire army."
"Can you flower growers fight your way in and out of battle array wearing this kind of armor? Can you fight against hundreds of cavalrymen by yourself? Can you save your princess and escape from the siege?"
“.”
The old bear didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because what Gao Qiao said later were all movie clips from "Homeland".
The actors are wearing props, weighing at most a dozen pounds, which of course has no effect on their movements, but the armor on the scene is different.
If you are selling art, how can you use lightweight aluminum alloy? Are you still selling history? You are selling toys.
History must be profound.
Therefore, the armor displayed on site was very heavy, and the spears were also very long, with a combined weight of around 80 kilograms, which was significantly heavier than the armor recorded in actual historical records.
Wearing this kind of armor, it is so tiring to just walk, let alone kill people three times in and three times out. That is something only Zhao Yun could do.
Where can I find a Zhao Zilong now?
Old Xiong suddenly had an idea and quietly turned around to look for Li Ye.
But Gao Qiaohejie turned around and said to the people around him: "I watched their movie, which is full of exaggerated and false scenes. They are deceiving us. The Zhina people have never been as powerful as in the movie."
You should watch our movies, our movies are real history.”
Then Gao Qiaohejie turned around and pointed at the armor artworks on the scene: "These things are not antique artworks. They are fakes that they fabricated without paying attention to the facts."
“.”
There was a sudden silence at the scene, and then it became chaotic and buzzing.
Gao Qiao and Jie's words seemed to be nonsense, but after all this, everyone at the scene had an impression - all the history narrated in the movie was fake, these things were fake, not worth the price at all, and not worth buying at all.
You have to explain to them that ancient warriors wearing Ming Guang armor only fought in a rigid manner, and it was impossible for them to jump around.
So what's wrong with what you filmed in the movie? Isn't it fake?
Some people were already distributing "real history" at the scene. The large leaflet showed a Japanese samurai wearing Japanese armor, okonomiyaki, and domaru, and wielding a samurai sword.
They also brought several reporters with them, who were taking pictures with their cameras. When a large number of articles mixed with true and false information came out, the overseas trip of "Homeward Bound" was ruined.
Zhou Ziyuan was anxious and kept negotiating with the organizers, hoping that the staff could stop these people from making trouble here.
But there were only a few young volunteers from the organizer on the scene. They spoke timidly for a long time, but the only thing they meant was that these guys could be traced back to the Yellow Army that survived 1945. Ordinary people would avoid them as much as possible, so how could they dare to provoke them?
Old Xie couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he had to stand up and said patiently: "Mr. Gao Qiao, movies are a form of artistic expression, and the actors in the movies are not real soldiers. You can't infer that history is untrue from this."
"So, it's still fake!"
Gao Qiao interrupted Lao Xie and laughed contemptuously, a very happy and insidious laugh.
