The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 344 Premiere (8)
Subtitle of this chapter: This week is this week!
Friday night, July 29, 1927.
Hotels near Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Now that the UK and Ireland have reached an agreement, our Master Yuan has gained his freedom. He simply moved into the hotel where the crew of "Orphan of Famine" stayed.
He was now on the roof of the hotel, looking out over Croke Park with a telescope.
It is indeed 1921 now, and the Western people have not yet been turned into a bunch of lazy people by high welfare.
Like the Empire State Building when it was built in 1931, the construction rate was 4 and a half floors per week.
But in the 21st century, even a simple pedestrian bridge built by the great United States of America would collapse.
In just two days and one night, Croke Park Stadium was transformed into a pretty good looking open-air cinema.
However, because it is an open-air cinema, the premiere has to be held at night. Of course, the lighting and equipment adjustments also have to be done at night.
It was still a little inconvenient for Yuan Yanshu to come out, so she inspected the project on the rooftop.
"Red carpet, there is still a red carpet missing."
Seriously, how could a premiere be complete without a red carpet?
Mr. Cannon behind him immediately said, "Dr. Yuan, the red carpet has been delivered. We're worried it might get dirty, so we plan to lay it out tomorrow afternoon."
That's right, today's red carpets aren't the cheap synthetic ones of later generations. They're made of wool, so even if they were cheap, they wouldn't be much cheaper. If they get dirty, they're incredibly difficult to clean, so you have to be careful.
"Very good. " Yuan Yan nodded and said, "Have you finished with the 10,000 roses?"
Mr. John McCall, who hadn't appeared in a long time, said embarrassedly, "Neo, 10,000 is a bit too much, but we have already received more than 5,000."
Hey, this is 1921. It would only take a few minutes to get 10,000 roses in the future.
Master Yuan could understand this, so he turned to other questions: "Where's the band?"
Miss Helen Brown, who has also not appeared in an appearance for a long time, said: "The Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra has agreed, and they are willing to perform for free."
The English name of Philharmonic Orchestra is Philharmonic, which originally means amateur music lovers.
In the mid-19th century, with the decline of the traditional European aristocracy, a large number of court musicians were forced or voluntarily moved to the folk. The bands they formed with some folk artists or enthusiasts were called "philharmonic orchestras."
Later, the term "philharmonic orchestra" came to refer to a private, fully autonomous orchestra that was not state-owned. The world's first true philharmonic orchestra was the renowned Vienna Philharmonic, founded in 1842. After all, Vienna is the world's music capital.
Likewise, the history of the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra can be traced back to this period.
Since only the silent version could be played, they had to find a band to accompany the song. Of course, the band they found couldn't be too low-class.
"And the singer?"
"Of course, we also found our most famous female singer in Ireland..."
Speaking of the singer, "Lord Fool" feels a bit regretful. If Miss "7 of Wands" is by his side, then this singer would be her!
"Hey, why are you here?"
The so-called shuo CAO CAO CAO CAO dao.
As soon as Yuan Yan walked into her room, she saw a familiar face.
Miss Moman blushed, raised her head proudly and said, "Why, I can't come?"
"Hehehe..." Our Master Yuan looked his female secretary up and down, then smiled mischievously and said, "Ai Si, did you find the card?"
"You!" The female secretary was embarrassed and angry because the location where she found the card was so embarrassing.
"clatter!"
Yuan Yan suddenly snapped her fingers.
Miss Moman felt a chill on her chest, as if there was something extra inside her corset.
Before she could say anything, she heard her boss say sternly, "Okay, Ai Si, hurry up and practice this song. You can lead the singing tomorrow."
The sun sets, the moon rises, and the sky gradually darkens...
The moon sets, the sun rises, and the sky gradually brightens...
The day of the premiere has finally arrived - July 30th, and the "small meeting" held in Shanghai should also be coming to an end.
On that historical line, during the sixth meeting tonight, a French police "information agent" broke into the meeting room. Fortunately, the delegates were alert and quickly dispersed.
Sure enough, just over ten minutes later, French police arrived, surrounded and searched the venue, but found nothing.
That night, at the suggestion of Mrs. Li Dazhao (who was from Jiaxing, Zhejiang), the representatives decided to go to Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing to hold their final meeting.
So there was that little red boat.
Now you know why our Master Yuan chose this day to hold the premiere.
Actually, he had wanted to hold it tomorrow, but tomorrow was Sunday, which was not a day for Catholics to watch movies.
Dublin, Ireland's largest city, has awakened and begun to stir.
The citizens of Dublin have long known this.
For them, this is a very legendary and at the same time very satisfying story.
It is also entirely conceivable that the IRA 's reputation has also been further enhanced.
In fact, the outside world now generally believes that the IPA is the mastermind behind the "723 Incident", and the so-called "Hibiscus Legion" is either a fake Irish person or a Chinese professional criminal hired by them .
During this period, something very surprising happened.
Sir Holwood tracked down the French fishing boat and naturally asked the French to cooperate with their investigation.
But as we all know, although Britain and France became allies in both world wars to fight against Germany, the relationship between the two countries remained like that due to historical reasons.
The Gallic Rooster enjoyed watching the Bull make fun of him, so he was not very enthusiastic about investigating the Tianren Shipping and just did it perfunctorily.
Therefore, Zhuang Kunlun easily covered the people of the Hibiscus Legion by disguising them as sailors and boarding a cargo ship bound for Asia.
Of course, all this was within the expectations of Comrade Tai Sui.
"Hey, did you get tickets for tonight ? They're giving them away instead of selling them. I don't even know where to buy them."
"I just got one. I got it from a friend in the Provisional Government."
"God, you're so lucky. How about giving it to me? I'll give you five pounds."
"Man, I didn't even sell it to someone for £8, let alone £5."
"Then, then, I'll give you 10 pounds!"
"This, this, this... Never mind, I'll give it to you."
This conversation happened several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times in Dublin, and the price of the premiere ticket was driven up to 10 pounds, which is equivalent to 20 US dollars.
This was undoubtedly a high price for a movie ticket. But even so, the tickets were in high demand, and all 2,500 tickets were "given away."
This "hunger marketing" technique was naturally taught to the Irish Republican Army by Yuan Yanshu.
However, if it weren't for local giants like IPA, no matter how clever his marketing methods were, they would be useless.
The venue has been set up.
All the tickets are sold out.
The crew is ready to go.
Now we just have to wait for night to fall and the show to begin.
