Chapter 9 The Motherland is Strong!

The stage design of "Starry Sky Speech" is a bit paradoxical, that is, the lights only hit the stage, and there are no lights in the audience, so you can't see the audience's faces clearly.

Of course, you can still hear the voices of the audience.

Shen Ming came to the stage and bowed slightly: "Good evening, everyone, I'm Shen Ming..."

Then he casually introduced his own topic: "Zhao Liying just now... My classmates said "Let's Wrestle! Dad", then I will also say, I haven't seen that movie, but I dare to say that it must be a good movie, it seems to have sparked a discussion on the whole Internet, right? I was filming "Zone 9" in South Africa at the time, and I took time to surf the Internet, and I opened it all up, and I was all praising "Let's Wrestle! Dad" and Aamir Khan..."

"I've always wanted to see it, but I haven't had a chance. ”

"Then one day, I saw a bunch of netizens discussing, 'Why can't China make a good movie like 'Wrestling!'"

"There are many people who answer, what capital, actors are too expensive, distribution, production, in short, the Chinese film industry is degraded to nothing!"

"I'm new to the film industry, and I can responsibly say that the projects I know and collaborate on are basically not as they say!"

"I'm quite angry, why do you always compare good foreign movies with "Little Times" and "Jue Ji"?"

"Have you seen the works of "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers", "Twelve Citizens", "Heart Labyrinth", "Donkey Gets Water", "Roadside Picnic", "History of the Disappearance of Romantic", "Scorching Sun", "Master", "Arrow Willow White Ape", "Fireworks in the Daytime" and so on?"

"Everyone has found that there is a convention in China, whenever a hit movie comes out from abroad, whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, many people will take the opportunity to pull out Chinese movies for criticism, and the titles are "Finish Chinese Movies", "How many years to dump Chinese movies" and so on. ”

"Chinese movies are so bad?"

"Let's put it this way, in 2016, the output of Indian films was 1,700, and the output of Chinese films was 770, why do you compare the best of others with your own worst?

"I think it's some people pulling the rhythm!"

"On the Internet, we in China seem to have been comparing with the rest of the world, usually compared with the United States in military aerospace, compared with Germany in precision instruments, compared with neon in electronic technology, compared with South Korea in the entertainment industry, and compared with the welfare system and Northern Europe, I can't wait to use China to single out the world!"

"Isn't that so?"

"You've all nodded, which means I'm right, you've definitely seen these posts!"

"I must say that China is already the second largest economy in the world, and the only country in the world can compete with China!"

"I still remember that in 2010, China announced that its GDP exceeded neon, and a group of rational people on the Internet said that 'this is all an illusion' and 'we want to count per capita', these people have argued from the industrial, military, and scientific and technological aspects, it seems that China's surpassing neon is a joke, and now, seven years have passed, does anyone still say so?"

"There is a statistic that in 2015, China's GDP was 10.5 trillion US dollars, and Neon's GDP was less than 4.2 trillion US dollars. From 2016 to 2020, China will maintain an average growth rate of 6.6%, and its total economic output will increase by about 37% compared with 2020, with an increase of about 4.2 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to creating a new country like Neon on the earth!"

"Remember, GDP is a symbol of comprehensive national strength!"

"China is really strong!"

"Okay, now I want to say why I feel like this!"

"It should have been August last year, I was still filming 'Nightcrawler' in Seattle, and one day during the day, I was sleeping, and suddenly I received a call from Wu Jing, and he asked me, 'Ming Tsai, what are you doing?', and I replied, 'Make a movie!', 'What movie?', 'A feature film!', and then he said, 'What kind of feature film, come back quickly, let's shoot 'Wolf Warrior 2' together', I didn't think about it, so I agreed..."

"This is an agreement with him, when we were filming "Kill the Wolf 2", he said that he would work with me in "Wolf Warrior 2"..."

"What kind of story does "Wolf Warrior 2" tell?"

"To put it simply, it is the evacuation of overseas Chinese!"

“… Do you know what it means to evacuate overseas Chinese?"

"It refers to the diplomatic act of a country's ZF to withdraw its citizens living in other countries to the administrative area of its own government through diplomatic means, and the background of "Wolf Warrior 2" is the evacuation of Yemeni nationals!"

"I want to popularize the evacuation of Yemeni nationals, it should be in 2014, the tension in Yemen continued to escalate, many countries closed their embassies, asked their citizens to evacuate, and the Linyi ship of the Chinese Navy went to Yemen to carry out the evacuation of our citizens. ”

"At that time, the Yemeni region was at war, and our warships were on standby and ready to attack the illegal insurgents. ”

"Of course, in the end, Yemen was successfully evacuated, and our citizens were given priority to be evacuated and given security guarantees!"

"In contrast, the United States at that time admitted that it could not help citizens in Yemen to leave, and let the Americans find a way to leave on their own!"

"Isn't the United States the most human rights-conscious?"

"I want to say that at home, you can scold this country as much as you want, but when you go abroad, you care about your safety except your family, and only the motherland that chooses to unconditionally defend your personal safety since the passport was issued to you! Young people, I know you have too much grievance, but please be patient with this country, we are revival!"

"I like "Wolf Warrior 2" very much, whether it is the script logic, lens language, including the actors, it is very good, so, halfway through the filming, I ran out of money, I smashed my savings in the past two years, and then Brother Jing said to me, 'Otherwise, don't ask for the salary!'"

"Look, that's called kicking your nose in the face!"

"I really didn't get paid for "Wolf Warrior 2", but it was all counted as an investment and a share. ”

"Actually, I have to think a lot about taking on the play now, a good work, in addition to the logic of the script, the actors' performances, props, scenery, lens logic, and the director's level must be taken into account... A lot of people say, you're just an actor, why do you think so much? I want to say, you have to think about that, the audience who likes you bought the ticket because of you, and you have to be responsible for them!"

"By the way, some time ago, there were a lot of things on the Internet about me playing a big name in "Wolf Warrior 2", and here I want to clarify that this is the hype of the crew, because we have no money to do publicity, so we can only use this kind of negative marketing, including changing the heroine on the spot... Indeed, we changed the heroine on the spot, because she suddenly increased the price, Brother Jing was very angry, and called his old partner, Sister Jingshan, but I want to clarify that it was not Sister Yu Nan who was replaced, Sister Yu Nan just cooperated with us to hype, and she also knew that we had no money..."

"Why should I admit it? Because I watched the internal preview of "Wolf Warrior 2", it was very good, and I believe the audience will like it!"

“… Thank you all for taking ten minutes to listen to my presentation, thank you!"
