Chapter 53: Fight Again

Coming out of the cafeteria, Xu Wangqiu looked up at the sky, gray, just like his mood at this time. Xu Wangqiu knew that he had offended the experts in the film industry and the critics to death. For a long time to come, like Zhang Yimou after the "Jacob Incident", he will become an enemy of the critics, the cultural circle, and even the intellectuals, and they will attack himself from all angles in the same way that they attacked Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou, and Wu Jing.

However, Xu Wangqiu does not regret his choice, he lives a breath, if he doesn't say these words just now, he will suffocate to death.

Lu Xun said: "The poor have no chagrin about opening an exchange to discount the capital, how can the kerosene king know the bitterness of the old woman who picks up cinders in Beijing." "The reality is that experts and professors receive salaries provided by the state, and they can guide the country and inspire words, but where can they feel the sadness of ordinary workers being laid off.

Just like some intellectuals shouting that the Republic of China is a golden age, many netizens find it difficult to understand. In fact, it is normal for the elite to say this, after all, during the Republic of China, the elite was a superior person, who could have three wives and four concubines, enjoy various privileges, and live very comfortably. Just like the Indian high castes, the people of India live very happily! What kind of people in the slums? No, no, no, no, those are just two-legged animals!

As a time-traveler, Xu Wangqiu will definitely climb to the elite in the future, but at least he is still alive at the bottom, at least he has not forgotten the taste of shivering without heating in the winter, he has not forgotten the death of his sister, and he has not forgotten the suffering years of the film system in the 90s.

Xu Wangqiu remembers that someone once said that many of the well-known elites were the modern Donglin Party, and now he felt that this description was too accurate. The Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss, and these people in front of them did not hesitate to push Chinese films into the abyss for their own interests.

In the past many years, Xu Wangqiu has always felt guilty about his sister's death and cannot forgive himself. After crossing over, his greatest wish is to change history and keep his sister alive, and all his plans are to prevent that tragedy from happening. He had always believed that he had crossed over to stop the tragedy, but what happened today made him realize that perhaps it would be to prevent these experts and professors from taking the right to speak about Chinese films and from pushing them into the abyss.

If Xu Wangqiu didn't know all this, then naturally there was no need to say it, but now he knew. As a child of the film studio, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch all this happen, and it is impossible to watch these people push Chinese films into the abyss!

Xu Wangqiu looked at the gray sky, and in a slight trance, he saw his sister's figure trembling in the cold; saw the face of his father and mother crying with his sister's photo every Chinese New Year; saw the desperate eyes of the old and young in the film system, the iron rice bowl is gone, the source of livelihood is gone, the country used to be in charge of everything, and now what awaits them is buyout, diversion, and layoff, and even the land has been taken away, leaving a white and vast land that is really clean.

Now everything coincides and turns into a burden that falls on Xu Wangqiu's shoulders.

Xu Wangqiu felt unprecedented pressure and knew how difficult it was to change all this, but he still raised his outstretched right hand high without hesitation, facing the cloudy sky, and slowly clenched it, as if holding fate in his hand.

I've died once, there's nothing to be afraid of!

From today onwards, let me fight for hundreds of thousands of people in the film system!

At this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Wangqiu!

Xu Wangqiu turned around and saw Liu Lin and the others chasing after him from behind, looking at him with concern, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "You guys don't listen to experts discussing the future of Chinese films, what are you doing running out?"

Liu Lin waved his hand disappreciatively: "Those experts haven't even read Bazin's books, and they just take long shots all day long, isn't this a few nonsense! We don't want to listen to their nonsense!"

Wu Zhiliu said with concern: "We don't worry about you, Wangqiu, are you okay?"

Xu Wangqiu pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm fine, I just can't stand those people, what they say is the feelings of family and country, democracy and freedom, and the people, but in fact, they only have themselves in their hearts, and they are a group of exquisite egoists." ”

Xia Gang patted Xu Wangqiu's shoulder and said excitedly: "Wangqiu, you are really amazing, you just said those experts and authorities speechless. It's not a mistake to read less, but it's not good to read less and get it now. When you say this, the faces of those experts are colorful, and it is simply wonderful. ”

The others also said excitedly: "Yes, yes, there are semiotics, psychoanalysis or something, I don't think those experts have heard of it." "Wangqiu, how many books have you read?", "Those experts must hate you to death." ”

Xie Xiaojing was a little worried: "Wangqiu, I guess those experts will trouble you in the future." ”

Liu Lin said without fear: "What are you afraid of, do they dare to debate with Wangqiu again? They definitely don't dare to bring humiliation on themselves." If they want to play tricks, what about us!" and everyone else said: "Yes, Wangqiu is our good brother, we will definitely help Wangqiu." "If they dare to bully Wangqiu, then we will do it with them!"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and waved his hand: "They will definitely not debate with me, but when my movie is made in the future, they will definitely be violently attacked by them, and they will attack my film from all angles and say that my movie is useless." If you get involved with me, I'm afraid you'll suffer from the fish pond and your movies will be attacked in the same way. ”

Liu Lin and they have only been in Nortel for less than two months, and making movies is still very, very far away, so how can they worry about the criticism of experts: "Scold, scold, I was scolded since I was a child!", "They can write articles to scold us, then we can also write articles to scold them!", "No matter what, I will definitely support you!"

Hearing Liu Lin say this, the cold accumulated in Xu Wangqiu's heart dissolved, and his slightly cold body also warmed, thinking that it would be difficult for me to win those experts alone, but with you here, I can beat them all over the ground to find teeth! He put his arm around Liu Lin's shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." ”

Xu Wangqiu and Liu Lin came to the lotus pond and came to the place where they met with Peking University students on the weekend. When everyone sat on the ground, Xu Wangqiu exhaled a breath of turbidity and said slowly: "Maybe you don't understand why I quarreled like that with those experts. ”

Liu Lin and the others knew why Xu Wangqiu quarreled with the experts, but they didn't understand why his reaction was so big.

Xu Wangqiu said with a wry smile: "We all know that film creation was greatly disturbed during the movement, and now that the movement is over, the film industry hopes to avoid interference as much as possible in the future in creation, which is undoubtedly right, and I also hope so." But the problem is that some people have gone to the other extreme, and now they want to completely control the right to speak about the movie, and they will have the final say on whether the movie is good or bad from now on. So, they are resolutely against montage, against commercial films. If everything is said by Jiang Qing's Gang of Four and is considered cultural dictatorship, is it not cultural dictatorship if it is decided by the experts?"

Xu Wangqiu looked puzzled when he saw Liu Lin, and explained: "Commercial films are movies that the audience has the final say, and the movies that the audience likes are good commercial films." But art films are different, there is no standard for art, whoever has a loud voice and who can make more voices is the standard. It is very difficult for ordinary audiences to publish articles in newspapers and magazines, and it is difficult for them to make a voice, but it is very easy for experts, so that they can easily control the right to speak, and they can easily praise movies that the audience does not like as works of art, and they can also say that good movies that the masses like to see are worthless garbage. ”

Everyone present somewhat understood, but they still didn't understand why Xu Wangqiu's reaction was so big.

I only heard Xu Wangqiu continue: "You have seen the New Wave movies recommended by experts, and I believe it is difficult for you to understand. If this kind of film becomes mainstream in the market, then no one will watch the movie, and the film industry will be finished. If the experts were unintentional, then I can understand that, but they know that this will happen, but they say that it is necessary to make a little sacrifice, and this makes people's teeth cold! If they want to sacrifice, why don't they sacrifice themselves, but ask others to sacrifice? If the knife is not stabbed in one's body, of course, it will not hurt. For those experts, it doesn't matter if Chinese movies are finished, they receive salaries from the state, and they can even go abroad with a butt shot. But we will be assigned to the film studio after graduation. If Chinese films are finished and film studios collapse, then what will we rely on to survive, and how will hundreds of thousands of people in the film system survive?"

After listening to Xu Wangqiu's words, Liu Lin and the others finally understood why Xu Wangqiu was so angry, and they also realized the seriousness of the problem. Especially Liu Lin and his few civilian children, they have no connections and no strong connections, and movies are the skills they rely on to survive. If Chinese cinema is really finished, where is their way out?

Liu Lin and the others were all angry: "We can't let them act arbitrarily!", "We are studying film, if the film is broken, then what will we do?", "I am not interested in the New Wave, I want to make a film that the people like to see." ”......

Wu Zhiliu looked at Xu Wangqiu and asked, "Wangqiu, what are you going to do, and what do you need us to do?"

Xu Wangqiu chuckled: "Next, I will revise the script, revise the storyboards, I want to make the story of "Hoe Rape" better, I will go all out to make this movie, I will use the facts to prove that they are wrong, and use the movie to crush their rhetoric." You can change the script with me, but the most important thing for you is to read more books and make more films. After graduation, let's work together, and when the time comes, we will turn the pattern of Chinese films upside down!"

When Liu Lin and the others heard this, they felt a flame ignite in their hearts, and all the blood in their bodies was ignited. They felt a surge of pride in their hearts, a pride in "destroying an old world and building a new world".

Liu Lin remembered that Xu Wangqiu had talked about how the movie boys led by Coppola got rid of the old Hollywood and how they built the new Hollywood, and immediately stretched out his hand and rested it in the air: "Okay! Let's work together to turn the world film pattern upside down!"

Wu Zhiliu, Gu Changwei, Zhang Yimou, Xia Gang, and Xie Xiaojing all stretched out their hands and shook Liu Lin's hands, and Xu Wangqiu also stretched out his hands and held them tightly with everyone's hands.

"Let's work together to turn the world film landscape upside down!" The voices of seven young people, with confidence, determination, and indomitable courage, echoed over Nortel for a long time.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the golden sun poked its head out of the clouds, scattering ten thousand rays of light to the earth, tightly wrapping the determined figures of the seven young men, as if they were draped in a golden battle suit.
