The encounter of "The Departed" in the Hong Kong government has naturally spread to the mainland long ago.

At the beginning, everyone may still have some scruples, and it is inconvenient to talk about it.

But after three glasses of wine, you can't care so much, who doesn't complain?

Lao Mouzi, as the leader and leader of mainland films, has more complaints than anyone else!

"At the beginning, the premiere of "Hero" in the Great Hall of the People ended, and that scene was ...... Hehe, not much better than the premiere of "The Departed" in Hong Kong. Do you know that after the movie ended, a reporter stood up directly and asked me, saying that the movie "Hero" is what else besides martial arts action?

Lao Mouzi looked self-deprecating, but he didn't feel overly wronged, and seemed to be used to it.

Don had never drunk so much in all the world. He didn't want to drink it, but he really couldn't resist the constant persuasion of others, and liquor was the first magic weapon for Chinese people to win foreigners!

President Clinton was repeatedly planted on this, and Donn was not spared.

There were seven or eight people at the dinner table, but Tang En was a little too drunk, and he couldn't tell who was who in a daze, only that he was Lao Mouzi on his left and Miss Zhang on his right.

Lao Mouzi's complaint is not over: "Before the release of "Hero", the mainland's film market was in a depression, and 99% of the movie theater chain could not survive. If it weren't for me...... If it weren't for my movie...... "Heroes...... There has been a hot scene that is hard to find, which has stimulated the film market, how can it be thriving today?"

Tang En really drank too much, and he was a little open-mouthed: "Yes, yes, "Hero" is a landmark movie in China. The next movie that sets off such a movie-watching frenzy can only be "Avatar"!"

"Avatar?

"Uh...... Did I say that?"

Tang En shook his head and quickly forced himself to compose.

It's a bit of a top-up feeling.

You can't talk nonsense.

Fortunately, Lao Mouzi didn't dig deeper, and seemed to have finally found the object of venting his grievances, and continued: "In the more than 20 years of reform and opening up, there has never been a movie that has been criticized on such a large scale as "Hero". How can there be good works in such a film environment full of violentness? If a film of the level of "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" had appeared in South Korea and Japan, it would not have been regarded as a national treasure?

Don nodded approvingly.

In the final analysis, the industrialization of the mainland market has just begun, and the hardware facilities in all aspects are not mature enough.

In a dozen years, the national situation will change.

This kind of domestic film that can represent the face of the country, even if there are some shortcomings, will not be subject to such large-scale verbal criticism. The dignity of a great power is rising day by day.

"This is the inevitable result of the invasion of foreign cultures and the lack of self-confidence of local cultures. Behind this, it may be the jealousy of a group of people in the industry, or it may be the lofty ambition of a group of media people for the rapid development of the country and universal values. ”

"That's right, it's just that the culture is not confident! That's great!" Lao Mouzi gave a thumbs up, "Tang En, you may not know much about it when you come to China for the first time." Let me say a big thing, Chinese films, this is what I am! However, I have also received the most controversy and criticism. ”

Back then, I filmed "Red Sorghum" and "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and they both won awards in Europe. When I returned home, I didn't get the credit I deserved, and the mainstream media denounced me for using the demeaning image of the country to curry favor with the Europeans, and then win the award. And then I made "Alive," and that was even more controversial! And guess what? Later, "Alive" was banned, and as a result, this banned film became my best personal work in the mouths of the media that constantly criticized me. ”

Don smiled, "Media people, if you go to the left, they will go to the right." You go to the right, and they go to the left. What value judgments do they have? They are just creating contradictions and attracting attention, and the market economy is like this. ”

"But you can't talk nonsense!" Lao Mouzi hated iron and steel, and continued to tell the history of the ups and downs of his films, "When I made a movie "No One is Missing", I went to Cannes to participate in the exhibition. At the end of the movie, after the heroine's search for students was reported by the TV station, the students were found, and the TV station sent a special car to send them back to the village, and a truckload of school supplies donated by all walks of life was also delivered to the school, which was a happy ending. As a result, Jacob, the chairman of the film festival at the time, watched it and openly expressed his dislike, thinking that the film was promoting the government. ”

"Of course I'm very dissatisfied, it's just bullshit! What am I propagating? Do they understand China or do I understand China? If something so big happens, the authorities will definitely intervene, not to mention finding a single student, even if it is 180 students, they can get it back! At the end of my movie, I am just stating a fact. ”

"I was so angry that I wrote an open letter, broke with Cannes, and went to Venice with No One Left Behind. I don't care about Europe's arguments, but the domestic media has exploded again, saying that I am whitewashing the peace for the government, that I have given up my art and joined the government.

"I'm just a film director, I only make the movies I want to make, and no one can control me! It turned out to be a two-pleasing one......!

"Director, you've drunk too much. ”

Seeing that Lao Mouzi's words were getting more and more popular, Miss Zhang poured him a glass of juice at the right time and interrupted him with a chuckle.

I have to say that Lao Mouzi does have an extraordinary status in the mainland film industry.

In China, "director" is not only a job term, but also a special term, specifically for Lao Mouzi.

Other directors will be called by surnames, such as "Director Chen", "Director Feng", "Director Jia", "Director Jiang", etc., only Lao Mouzi is a special case, no one calls him "Director Zhang", but directly calls him "Director".

If anyone says "how is the director", then this must refer to Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi's words were interrupted, and he reacted a little, and was stunned for a moment, "Did I talk too much?"

Miss Zhang smiled: "Director, what are you talking about, Brother Tang came to China for the first time, and he doesn't understand the environment here, he can't understand what you say." ”

Lao Mouzi patted his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, yes, I drank too much, hehe." Tang En, don't be surprised! Ziyi, after drinking for a while, you send Tang Dao back to the room and let him rest well. ”

Miss Zhang pursed her lips, glanced at Tang En quickly, and saw that he had really drunk too much, so she smiled slightly, and said very femininely: "Brother Tang, I'm round, none of you have to care!"

Tang En disagreed, and said loudly: "Go on, this topic is very interesting, I just want to have a deeper understanding of the mainland film industry." ”
