On September 11, Wuhan Roadshow.

"Why did you want to shoot "Flag Guard"?"

"Because our generation really feels that the country is strong, I have researched a lot of sources, and everyone says that China's national pride and national self-confidence reached its peak since the Opium War in 2008, and I think it's right..."

"Then why do you want to shoot it? You can shoot other subjects at all, don't you think that because of the situation in the south, you can sell well after shooting?"

"The project of "Flag Guard" was decided in August last year, and if you ask this question, it shows that you are very ignorant of the production process of the film!"

"Recently, the Internet has been saying that you discriminate against homosexuals, what do you think?"

Shen Ming was stunned for a moment: "Ah, me, discriminating against homosexuals?"

"Yes, they say you're homophobic!"

“… Where do you see that?"

A reporter next to him read into his mobile phone: "He expressed his disgust for appearing in same-sex themes, which shows that he resisted this matter in his heart... This is discrimination against homosexuals!"

“… Why is homosexual expression high-level, and heterosexual expression low-level? I'm a straight man, I'm guilty? Don't just give people hats, it's not good, and rejecting same-sex themes is discriminating against the same sex? Then I don't like durian, I also discriminate against durian? I just don't like it!"

"When I see short sleeves, I immediately think of white arms, I immediately think of nakedness, I immediately think of genitals, such imagination is too leaping!"

"I think everyone watches movies and watches movies, you can criticize my acting skills, criticize the movie itself, why do you want to grasp what I said and interpret it?"

"It's not because there is nothing wrong with the movie itself!"

"Haha, thank you!"

……

Sometimes I really convince these fans, they live in their own circles, and they really feel that every actor has a personality!

A little trivial thing will be frantically ridiculed by the whole network, that is, the so-called "personality collapse"

People with a calm heart don't care about these things at all!

But a group of fans and all kinds of marketing accounts are like treasures, with a terrifying title #Shen Ming discriminates against homosexuals#

If you don't play same-sex themes, does it mean homophobia?

Idle eggs hurt!

So-What？

Don't say that he doesn't discriminate, even if he does, what if he does?

Will it be blocked? Will it be abandoned by capital?

Anyway, Shen Ming didn't care about this, Shen Ming's fans were waiting for the release of "Protecting the Flag"!

……

Thursday, September 12th.

"Protecting the Flag" was officially released, screened for 12 days, with a cumulative box office of 120 million, media score: 8.8 points, and the reputation is very good!

The theater chain also gave 40% of the film schedule...

The main reason is that the movies released at the same time are too embarrassing, "Luo Xiaohei's War" is too fan-oriented, and frankly speaking, it broke 100 million in 3 days, and the box office has been leading since its release, and domestic 2D animation movies have such results, which is already the best batch.

The results of "Nezha" are suitable at the right time, place and people, and if you can't produce an excellent domestic animation, you have to compare with Nezha.

"Luo Xiaohei" can't bring the market;

"Giant Crocodile Storm" is a bad movie, and it is impossible to drive the market.

The theater chain is still counting on "Flag Guarding" to make money, of course, it has to arrange more films - the word Shen Ming represents a blockbuster!

At nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Erha came to Xingmei Cinema, which was the closest movie theater to his residence, and was a little surprised, there were too many people, and he was frightened by the waiting audience.

Queue up to get tickets, and by the way, scan the code for a single package - Coke and popcorn!

"There are still five minutes before the start of the performance of "Protecting the Flag", please enter according to the order. ”

Xu Erha lined up behind a couple, and the couple might be telling jokes:

'I just saw that grumpy guy outside, do you remember?'

'Remember... Haha!'

The man imitated: 'Hello sir, your takeaway has arrived, please... you, hurry up and get down, your dad is bringing you food, hurry up!'

Xu Erha couldn't help but laugh...

Then it suddenly occurred to me that he seemed to have ordered takeout in the morning...

Paralyzed, it won't be so coincidental!

I couldn't hold back, and quietly asked: "Is the takeaway brother you said in the Four Seasons Garden Community?"

The man turned his head, glanced at Xu Erha, and then nodded: "Yes, it's under the 15th building!"

“… Thanks, I got it!"

It's a real hammer, it's him!

Gotta give you a bad review!

Angrily, he took out his mobile phone, made up for the evaluation, and then refreshed, found his place, and sat down...

……

As a movie fan who often watches movies, Xu Erha attaches great importance to the opening subtitles, and can get quite a lot of information!

For example, production companies, producers, directors, screenwriters, assistant directors, cinematographers, etc...

The team behind the scenes often determines the lower limit of a movie!

The behind-the-scenes team of "Protecting the Flag" is not luxurious, but it definitely belongs to the middle school: producers: Huang Shaohua, Shen Ming, Cheng Xiao, producers: Han Jianu, Shen Ming, Yang Xin, screenwriters: Yu Liang, Shen Ming...

'It seems that the root of this movie is Shen Ming!'

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Erha concentrated his mind!

After the subtitles, what appears on the screen is a warm pale yellow color, the light gradually turns white, and the picture begins to appear, voiceover: In 1998, my sister went abroad, she went to Paris!

The screen switches, at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, Song Jia has capable short hair, wearing clothes from that era, and his face is full of happiness!

"It's said that Paris is the capital of romance, and that's true, I only got a French boyfriend in a month after I arrived in Paris, and we went to the Louvre, to the Eiffel Tower, to Versailles, and I love the city. ”

The screen switches to the lounge of an office building, Song Jia is chatting with a colleague, the two are in English, maybe talking about something interesting, both of them giggle, at this time, a woman walks over: "Song, is Paris paradise for you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because your country is very poor!"

“… It's okay, some places may not be in a good situation, but that doesn't mean that..."

"Come on, who doesn't know?

“… Have you ever been to China?"

"No, but I..."

"Without investigation, there is no voice!"

Song Jia left the lounge directly...

Inner monologue 'Although I know that my country has many problems, but only I can scold him, and others point fingers, I am very disgusted!'

"Actually, in foreign countries, the most encountered is the XZ problem, they are always very concerned, and later I learned that the base camp of the ZD molecule is located in Paris!"

Then there was a clip in the trailer, which was also a foreigner discussing the Tibet issue with Song Jia...

Song Jia also explained it from a historical perspective at first, but later found that she didn't seem to understand, so she said, 'Why don't you let it be independent?'

'Your mother is old and decrepit, and your father wants to marry a young and beautiful person, why doesn't your mother agree?'

‘… Song, why are you talking like that?'

'That's what I say!'

This plot lasted about eight minutes, and Xu Erha was a little skeptical: Is this a documentary?
