A Republic-Era Tycoon: Starting in the Film Industry

I still have the mentality of a small citizen. Not to mention the assistant, I don't even have a follower. At that time, Shanghai was a mixed bag of rich people and there was no bodyguard or anything like that, waiting to be blown away with gold coins.

Stop bragging about tomorrow, okay? Always mixed with private goods

The protagonist is reborn in 1919 and spends six years attending Tsinghua University and studying at Harvard, all for the sake of making movies (the book begins in 1925). I don't know what the author was thinking, but he's undoubtedly a petty bourgeois.

The Japanese are coming. Would you make a movie for them? The Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics will hold a gun to your head. Would you make a movie for them?

Didn't you come to the Republic of China to be a tycoon? Why don't you do business? He doesn't engage in technological innovation, he doesn't pick up girls, he doesn't marry his wife, and he doesn't invest in historical figures.

Trying to reason with wolves and tigers in the Republic of China era? Are you out of your mind?

Author, please keep writing! Republican-era entertainment stories are still quite entertaining.

It's written in a very rudimentary way, basically just a diary entry. It simply follows the main character's filming schedule, but skips over the details of how the films turned out, how they were made, and their social impact. It's like writing a diary, listing what I did today and what I'll do tomorrow.

What do you care about the Japanese invasion of China? No matter what cinematic techniques you use.

Sigh, even though I know the novel's theme is based on the movie, if I went back to that era, I still couldn't resist joining the revolution. 😆
