You made me a superstar

Chapter 231 Change and Pressure

"This is the list of directors who have been banned from directing. I personally think that the sooner the ban is lifted, the better. Although they have made mistakes, they can correct their mistakes. There is nothing good about them. At the same time, their personal talents cannot be denied. They only need a good director. The environment and guidance..."

"This is the draft of the movie "Fatal Crisis". At the same time, I personally propose that such black sheep should be included in the ranks of banned..."

"The impact of "Fatal Crisis" is too bad, and it seriously damages the image of our Chinese people among overseas movie fans. At the same time, I deeply doubt this movie. Why can such a movie pass the review..."

"Other than that..."

The relevant departments of Huaxia are in a meeting.

The content of the meeting was the arrangement for the movie "Fatal Crisis".

An Xiao stood aside and silently watched the department leaders sitting on chairs, flipping through the report letters.

Zhang Jianguo took out the proposal and read the draft proposal for "Fatal Crisis" at the meeting. Director Li Fu sat in the chair and listened carefully to the draft.

Xu Kangnian, the leader of the film review department, had a serious expression on his face. He repeatedly read the report content of "Fatal Crisis", sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes in disbelief.

China has always implemented a relatively loose system for imported films from overseas. In principle, as long as there are no state secrets, endanger national security, or damage national honor and interests, they cannot incite ethnic hatred, promote obscenity, gambling, violence, or instigate crimes. , Movies that cannot promote superstition and cult content are basically all given.

Xu Kangnian was about 50 years old, and he was listening to the draft silently. After Zhang Jianguo sat down, he frowned slightly: "Zhang Ke, why do I hear that you are questioning our review department between the lines in this draft? Come and talk about it." What's the problem with "Deadly Crisis"? A movie, how can you promote national honor and interests? Moreover, part of the content of "Deadly Crisis" is just some artistic processing and creation, so it is necessary to put it on the line?"

"Xu Ke, do you think there is no problem with the ass in "Fatal Crisis"?"

"From the point of view of the review department, there is nothing wrong with "Fatal Crisis", and it did not maliciously vilify the Chinese people. We all experienced it from the 60s. We know better than anyone else the progress and prosperity of China over the years, but even so, There is a big gap with Europe and the United States in various aspects, so in order to make up for this shortcoming, we should not only open up economically, but also open up to the world in terms of culture. The expression method in "Fatal Crisis" is a kind of art. Art is not At the same time, under the background of innovation and opening up, there are bound to be various pains, and since we want to make changes, we must be able to withstand the impact..." Xu Kangnian looked at Zhang Jianguo and said with a smile.

"Art knows no borders, but artists do, and directors do. This "Fatal Crisis" is already an insult to China! The director Zhao Sicheng has a rather disheveled ass..." Zhang Jianguo squinted his eyes, holding back his emotions , looking deeply at Xu Kangnian.

"The butt is not correct. The hat is too big. I admit that the influence of "Fatal Crisis" is very bad, but it does not mean that the director Zhao Sicheng has a bad ass. , how could a director who grew up under the red banner have a bad ass?"

"Then Xu Ke, how do you think we should deal with it?" Zhang Jianguo looked at Xu Kangnian expressionlessly.

"The movie "Fatal Crisis" is indeed going to be banned, but, as you said before, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. We all have seen the talent of Zhao Sicheng and director Zhao. Banning him is not realistic..." Xu Kangnian put down "Fatal Crisis" , and then looked at Zhang Jianguo with a smile: "Now our Huaxia film industry is in an era of rapid development and a waste of time... This era is full of opportunities, but at the same time it is also full of challenges and crises. We need young The blood of the first generation is right, but it is even more necessary for the seniors of the older generation to hold on to this market, and to lift the ban on those directors who were once banned, is it just to hope that this industry will flourish and become more prosperous?"

"So, director Zhao Sicheng who filmed "Fatal Crisis" has no responsibility at all? Does your review department have no responsibility at all?" Zhang Jianguo stared at Xu Kangnian.

"There must be responsibilities. As I said before, no matter what innovation or change it is, you will have to face pains. However, learning from the barbarians and using their skills to control the barbarians, Zhao Sicheng went overseas and made a living overseas from scratch. To lay the foundation for Huaxia directors, you may consider the overseas market and include artistic creation in it. Didn’t you submit a proposal before, saying that you should encourage different forms of artistic creation? We are also responding to your proposal and supporting you Zhang Ke, we are all on the united front..." Xu Kangnian continued to look at Zhang Jianguo with a smile.

Zhang Jianguo breathed out a little in his heart, but he didn't make any response.

Xu Kangnian continued: "As for the character Fu Manchu, I personally have always felt that there is no problem. What's wrong with the yellow race being a villain? There is no need to rise to the ZZ level, let alone the so-called blind spot of review. In our earlier movies, there were also Many Europeans and Americans are killing and looting as bad guys. Don’t be so sensitive. This is a manifestation of cultural inferiority. With economic development, our cultural self-confidence must be established, and we must guide the public to have a more positive appreciation progress……"

"Xu Ke, I strongly disagree with your words!"

"I haven't finished my words yet. Our cultural confidence in China is indeed lacking, but you can see that the cultural confidence in Europe and the United States is very strong. I feel dizzy after watching "Chain Saw", and it is revealed between the lines. Isn’t it an example of a movie that vilifies and imagines Europe and America, but it is very popular in Europe and the United States?” Xu Kangnian said this sentence with a smile.

"Oh!"

"Xu Kangnian, what country are you from!" Zhang Jianguo's blood pressure was high, and he finally couldn't help but patted the table.

"I'm from Huaxia, don't get excited, this kind of thing can be discussed slowly, I'm just expressing my personal opinion." Xu Kangnian shook his head, although he was calm, his expression began to show a hint of coldness.

Just at this time……

"I think Zhao Sicheng must be banned, and I can bear the consequences."

A cold voice came out.

After hearing this voice, Xu Kangnian turned his head subconsciously. When he saw that it was An Xiao, he narrowed his eyes: "Secretary An, what consequences can you bear?"

"Everything!" An Xiao stared at Xu Kangnian.

"I'm afraid the current you are not worth enough, and you haven't recognized the reality..." Xu Kangnian shook his head.

"China's local movies have already been occupied by overseas movies by 80.00%. Twenty movies will be released this year. What can I not be clear about?" In the huge conference room, An Xiao's voice was cold.

"The ban will only chill the enthusiasm of the older generation of directors..." Xu Kangnian shook his head, "It's easy to ban Zhao Sicheng, but behind him, there are a group of people..."

"Secretary An's opinion is not important, what about my opinion? I also support the ban! I can also bear all the consequences!" Zhang Jianguo, who has always seldom spoke, but this time he was very firm in his reaction, as if he was not moving an inch. let.

"Everyone is an adult, and every opinion is related to the future of Huaxia movies. Last year there was a movie like "Hero", but this year may not be...I said, it is easy to ban a person, but those old people behind him If the directors of the previous generation get emotional..." Xu Kangnian's face also turned cold.

"Hehe, are you afraid of their emotions, or are you hooked up with them?"

"What do you mean, these directors are all in contact with you, how can I hook up?" Xu Kangnian's expression became colder in an instant.

"It's nothing interesting, just a few words of meaning. In the first half of this year, I issued a military order. The box office of Chinese local movies will return to 70.00% of what it used to be. If it doesn't reach it, I will take the blame and resign!"

"Think clearly..."

"It's in this state now, what's not clear to me!" Zhang Jianguo's expression was cold.

"Okay, then I agree with the ban, and I appreciate Zhang Ke's courage very much, but I still want to remind you that you have been in contact with those directors, I think you should understand what these older directors are saying, so this year There may be some vacancies in the market in the first half of the year! In terms of imported movies, "Fatal Crisis" will be released, and "Chain Saw" will definitely be able to carry the flag? Zhou Yang, a fledgling director, really deserves your trust?"

"You don't need to worry about this!"

"it is good!"

"..."

........................

Noon on January [-]th.

Zhao Sicheng received two messages in the office.

The first news is that "Fatal Crisis" has been officially released by major theaters...

There were too many voices of resistance, coupled with the orders issued by relevant departments, "Fatal Crisis" was finally drowned in the crowd.

The second message made his eyes widen.

"what!"

"What do you mean, ban me for a year?"

"Why? Why ban me for a year? What does this mean? Doesn't this imply that I have a problem?"

"..."

He couldn't believe it at first. Although he knew that the situation was bad for him, he couldn't even imagine the worst outcome!
Then disbelief turned to anger, and he almost snarled on the phone.

"President Zhou, please tell the higher-ups that "Fatal Crisis" can be banned, but I cannot ban it. Even if it is banned, it cannot be made public. If it is made public, it will have a great impact on me!"

"It's been decided, isn't it?"

"This……"

Zhao Sicheng hung up the phone, stared viciously out of the movie window, his eyes were extremely cold, he panted heavily, and the image of Zhou Yang flashed in his mind.

finally……

"Bah!"

He smashed the glass hard!
........................

Zhou Yang finished watching "Chain Saw", and then sent it over for review.

He originally thought that this "Chain Saw" would have to wait a few days.

But I didn't expect to receive a call from An Xiao after only waiting for half a day.

"The film review has passed!"

"So fast?"

"Well, this movie was personally reviewed by Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Ke, but don't get too excited. There are conveniences, but there are also sacrifices..."

"what?"

"This movie will be released together with overseas movies like "The End of the World" with an investment of [-] million dollars!"

"What!" Zhou Yang frowned.
