Entertainment: A whirlwind marriage with a fairy-like mother at the start!

Days passed by one after another.

November arrived in the blink of an eye.

The online battles have not subsided.

Instead, it escalated further.

A right-wing mainstream media outlet in Japan published a lengthy editorial.

The article title is extremely jarring.

The Misunderstood East Asian Co-prosperity: It Was Just a Self-Defense Counterattack.

In the article.

They brazenly glorified their past war of aggression as helping Asian countries break free from Western colonial rule.

What makes one's blood boil even more is...

They are at the very bottom of the page.

A passage was written in extremely small font.

"There is still no conclusive evidence from the academic community regarding the so-called comfort women issue."

"That was merely a voluntary commercial activity undertaken by some women during the war to earn money."

This report was published.

This completely ignited the anger of Chinese netizens.

Weibo, Baidu Tieba, and all major forums exploded.

"Voluntary? Go to hell!"

"These bastards have no shame! They dare to alter history in black and white like this!"

"I was so angry I was shaking all over; I practically smashed the keyboard!"

"Let's go to Twitter and yell at them! Let's go to Facebook and yell at them! We can't let them distort the truth like this!"

Countless netizens spontaneously organized an expedition.

They brought translated historical materials, old photos, and the judgment of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.

They rushed to the bottom of Japanese media's social media accounts.

however.

The other party was prepared.

Japanese netizens started flooding the screen with comments.

"Besides using these fake photos to elicit sympathy, what else can you Chinese do?"

"The war is long over. You are just a bunch of madmen obsessed with hatred."

"If you're so capable, produce some real cultural works to speak for yourself, instead of being a keyboard warrior online all day."

There were even hackers from Japan.

They maliciously altered the homepages of several overseas websites of Chinese students studying abroad.

They changed it to a highly insulting cartoon.

Chinese netizens were extremely frustrated.

This feeling is awful.

The truth is clearly in our hands.

She was clearly the victim.

However, in the international arena, they were attacked by the other side using various rogue tactics.

.......

Beijing.

Salty Fish Entertainment Headquarters.

Underground screening room.

All the lights are off.

The final cut of "Nanjing Photo Studio" is playing on the screen.

A 120-minute movie.

No one spoke.

Only heavy breathing rose and fell in the darkness.

on the screen.

Liu Qianqian, who plays Lin Yuxiu, is holding a child.

Stumbling and staggering through the mud toward the city gate.

Behind him were towering flames and the corpses of his compatriots.

The lining of a cheongsam.

They were sewing together those few blood-stained negatives.

The image freezes on her mud-covered yet extremely determined gaze.

The end credits song did not use any sentimental music.

It's just monotonous.

Heavy.

The click of an old-fashioned camera shutter.

The screen went black.

A line of white text slowly appeared.

"This film is dedicated to the 300,000 compatriots who lost their lives, and to all those who spread the truth in the darkness."

.........

It was exactly 8 p.m.

Countless Chinese netizens are still arguing with Japanese netizens on foreign websites, so angry they can't eat.

I suddenly received a notification that I was following closely.

SaltyFish Entertainment's official Weibo account has been updated.

There were no lengthy essays.

There were no fancy slogans.

There is only one poster.

A two-minute trailer.

There is one more line of text.

"The Nanjing Photo Studio" will be released globally on December 13, the National Memorial Day for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

The poster is extremely simple.

Black and white background.

In the center of the image is the lens of an old-fashioned camera.

The lens glass reflected an extremely gruesome image.

That was a mass grave from the massacre.

Next to the camera.

It was a hand stained with blood, gripping the film reel tightly.

Countless netizens clicked on the two-minute trailer.

There is no narration or explanation.

The film opens with an extremely oppressive air raid siren.

then.

The screen was torn apart by a glaring red.

Chen Daoming plays Jin Chengzong in the darkroom.

Under the red safety light.

One by one, photographs recording the truth of the massacre emerged in the developing solution.

Zhu Yawen, who plays Achang, roars with red eyes.

"I'd rather die than do such a heinous thing!"

Rapidly edited footage.

Japanese bayonets.

The screams of the refugees.

Burning streets.

At last.

The image freezes on Lin Yuxiu, played by Liu Qianqian.

She was holding the baby who had been thrown to its death.

The Japanese soldier's gun barrel was pressed against her chin.

I forced her to laugh.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

A poignant smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

The shutter is pressed.

The trailer abruptly ended.

After watching the trailer.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

"Holy crap! Mr. Yu is awesome!"

"This trailer gave me goosebumps! I couldn't hold back my tears!"

"Screening on December 13th! National Memorial Day!"

"Doesn't Japan want evidence? Didn't they say we can't produce any cultural works?"

"President Yu filmed the case files like a movie and threw them in their faces!"

"That scene where Sisi was forced to laugh was absolutely hilarious. My heart aches every time I see it."

"Guys! Stop wasting time arguing with them on foreign websites! Share this trailer!"

"Yes! Add Japanese subtitles! Send it to their hometown!"

Less than half an hour.

The news of the release date of "Nanjing Photo Studio" topped the trending searches on major platforms.

Not just domestically.

Overseas Chinese students and overseas Chinese compatriots quickly took action.

They translated the trailer into multiple languages.

It was wildly shared on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.

The level of interest exploded exponentially.

Japanese netizens initially mocked the situation.

"The Chinese are making anti-Japanese war dramas again."

"It's definitely one of those ridiculous scenarios where you tear apart Japanese soldiers with your bare hands."

But when they clicked on the trailer...

Seeing the incredibly realistic costumes and props.

Seeing the restrained yet terrifying explosive power of Chen Daoming, Zhu Yawen, and Liu Qianqian.

Seeing those photos developed in the darkroom, restored based on true history.

Many Japanese netizens have shut up.

This is not the low-quality promotional video they perceive it to be.

This is a top-tier industrial film of international standard.

On 2ch, Japan's largest social forum.

"The quality of this movie... looks terrifying."

"Protest! This movie must be boycotted in our country!"

"Yes! This is a slander against the Sakura Empire!"
