There were reporters from all over the world at the briefing site, and when they heard Jiang Ping's words, they immediately exploded. It's not the first time that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have clashed over titles at the film festival, but in the past, they protested in private, and then asked the organizing committee to revise it, but I didn't expect it to make a direct fuss in front of such a media this time.

In addition to the media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the media in other countries and regions are excited, big news, absolutely big news!

"Jiang Ping, let me interrupt!" Chen Zhikuan, head of the Chinese Taiwan Bend delegation, stood up, he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Ping's words, and said indignantly, "We will never accept your remarks, you are deliberately suppressing them!"

Jiang Ping looked at Chen Zhikuan and said in an unquestioning tone: "This is a fact, the Chinese film delegation is the only film troupe that can represent China, and the delegation from the Taiwan region is part of the Chinese delegation. ”

Chen Zhikuan retorted loudly: "We don't agree with this, you don't have to be like this, it's good for everyone to call themselves their own, you are the Chinese film delegation, and we are the Taiwan delegation!"

Jiang Ping and Zhang Ran glanced at each other, then walked over, looked at Chen Zhikuan and said, "You are the delegation of Taiwan Province!"

Chen Zhikuan's square head shook: "No, no, no!"

The official next to Chen Zhikuan also said: "The film festival has his own way of dealing with it, why do you want to interfere with others?"

Jiang Ping said firmly: "We respect the film festival, but the issue of principle cannot be shaken!"

Zhang Ran couldn't help it, and said coldly: "Why do you protest when the Berlin Film Festival writes about China? When you write about China at the Berlin Film Festival, why do you want the organizing committee to change its name? Why didn't you say at that time that other film festivals have their own way of dealing with it? Since you can all come out to protest, then of course we can also come out to protest!"

Chen Zhikuan couldn't answer Zhang Ran, and defended: "The Tokyo Film Festival is a cultural activity, and your suppression has seriously violated the rights and interests of Taiwanese filmmakers, so don't interfere with film cultural exchanges by political means." ”

Zhang Jingchu has always disliked the Taiwan bend authorities because of the original Golden Horse Award issue, and now when she heard Chen Zhikuan reverse black and white, she was very dissatisfied, so she said: "You should have called the Chinese Taiwan Bend delegation, can you still say that you are not Chinese?"

Chen Zhikuan said directly: "We are not!"

Zhang Jingchu was startled, her brows furrowed, and she asked, "Are you Chinese?"

Chen Zhikuan said loudly: "I'm from Taiwan!"

When Zhang Jing first saw that she didn't even admit that she was Chinese, she was completely angry and said categorically: "You are Chinese!"

Chen Zhikuan shouted: "I'm not, you don't need to be overwhelmed to make me submit, I won't give in." ”

Zhang Jingchu was really angry, if it wasn't for the briefing site, if it weren't for the presence of such a reporter, she would have wanted to pick up a brick and shoot it on the head of this guy who has forgotten her ancestors. She originally wanted to refute, but at this time, Zhang Ran patted her shoulder and comforted: "Others don't even recognize Chinese, what's the point of arguing?" After speaking, he turned his head to look at the people in the organizing committee and said, "Let your person in charge come over." As the organizing committee of the film festival, you must give us an explanation for such a thing!"

At this moment, a man in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses trotted over and bowed to Zhang Ran: "Mr. Zhang, I am Takashi Nishimura, director of the International Business Department of the Film Festival Bureau. I'm sorry for this happening, but we're just doing it as is the case at the Tokyo International Film Festival. ”

When Chen Zhikuan heard Nishimura Takashi say this, he felt that he had found support, and said proudly: "That's it, the organizers began preparations in May, and after a lot of coordination during the period, the official name printed on the film festival manual is 'Taiwan Film Special: Taiwan Film Revival 2010 Beautiful New Generation', for such a long time, has it not been coordinated with China? If the organizers do not agree, will it be printed like this?"

Zhang Ran participated in the Tokyo Film Festival eight years ago, when he was still unknown, he really didn't notice this problem, I don't know if the Tokyo Film Festival has really been doing this. However, that year, there was an actor from Taiwan in their crew, who was Jay Chou, and when the film festival introduced Jay Chou, he was talking about Taiwan, China.

Zhang Ran looked at Takashi Nishimura and said lightly: "I have participated in many film festivals, including Venice and Berlin, and the movies will be marked as China's Taiwan, which is an international consensus, there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China." If the Tokyo Film Festival has always been labeled as a bend, then the film festival is contrary to international practice, and this mistake must be corrected!"

Jiang Ping admired Zhang Ran a lot in his heart, he deserved to be a teacher, he could really say it, and hurriedly added: "In the Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration in 1972, the Dongying government has made clear its position, the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. We don't want to talk about the mistakes of the organizers in the past, but now we should be crowned with the Chinese platform. ”

Takashi Nishimura was speechless, he couldn't say that we don't recognize the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement!

Chen Zhikuan couldn't accept this, and shouted: "You are too authoritarian, especially now that the two sides of the strait have just signed the ECFA and exchanges are becoming more and more frequent, why do you want to do this?"

Zhang Ran sneered when he heard the ECFA, it was a good thing to sign the ECFA, it was able to integrate the two markets, after the FA signed, as long as the film in Taiwan Bend obtained a public screening license, it would not be subject to quota restrictions for distribution in the mainland, and it can be said that the mainland market was completely open to the film in Taibend.

It stands to reason that Taiwan should also relax restrictions on mainland films, but Taiwan has always refused to open up the market to mainland films, and they do not restrict films from all over the world, they only restrict mainland films, and only give mainland films ten places a year.

As long as they pass the approval of the General Administration, Taiwanese artists can shoot film and television works, participate in variety shows, attend various commercial performances in the mainland, and even allow them to live for a long time. However, mainland artists are suppressed everywhere when they go to Taiwan, not only are they unable to perform commercial performances, but the total stay time is only half a year a year, and each stay cannot exceed 3 months.

Jiang Ping didn't want to make things bigger, after all, it wouldn't be beneficial to anyone if they made it bigger, so he said: "I think so, according to the Olympic model, when the two sides introduce them, they only need to mention Chinese filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait! If you don't admit this, then we absolutely can't accept it!"

Takashi Nishimura was not very clear about the Olympic model and asked, "What is the Olympic model?"

Jiang Ping explained: "When the Olympic Games introduced the Taiwan delegation and said that Chinese Taipei, Chinese Taian! This is a model recognized by both sides, and it has always been done internationally!"

Nishimura pondered for a moment and said, "As long as there is no opinion on Taiwan, it is completely acceptable to the organizing committee." ”

Chen Zhikuan saw that Nishimura Takashi agreed, feeling like an orphan abandoned by his parents, and retorted excitedly: "I don't agree, who agrees with this kind of name? Taiwan applied for the exhibition in the name of Taiwan at the beginning, and has participated in the name of Taiwan for many years, so why should we change our name, and we can't accept that we were told to change our name just a moment before walking the Avenue of Stars." ”

Jiang Pingyi solemnly said: "The Taiwan delegation is part of the Chinese film delegation, this is a principle, and we will never back down!"

Chen Zhikuan replied: "We also have our own principles! Don't pull politics in, don't sacrifice art because of political involvement, if we pull politics, we have no reason to back down, you don't rely on the strength of the crowd, I will never compromise!"

Zhang Ran sneered: "May I ask you are the director of the Film Division of the Information Bureau, right?"

Chen Zhikuan asked rhetorically, "So what?"

Zhang Ran sneered: "As a government official, you led a group to the film festival to make trouble, but on the contrary said not to sacrifice art because of political involvement, which is equivalent to jumping out of the empty well and saying, Ouch, people are not making films, people are making movies that reflect human nature, they are art, don't you think it's funny?"

Hearing Zhang Ran learn to speak with a woman in a sharp voice, and learn it vividly, there was a burst of laughter at the scene. Zhang Jingchu glanced at Zhang Ran, on such a serious occasion, what are you talking about***!

Chen Zhikuan almost vomited blood when he heard Zhang Ran compare himself with ***, I am a government official, you are actually compared to a woman by you, is it unbearable, and said angrily: "Zhang Ran, you are shameless!"

Zhang Ran sneered: "Compared to you, it's still a little worse, at least I won't forget my ancestors, I won't forget who my ancestors are!" After speaking, Zhang Ran turned to Jiang Ping and said: "We don't need to quarrel with a provincial group, we lose our identity." Just let the organizing committee change it, and if we don't change it, we will quit!"

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Jiang Ping also felt reasonable, and waved his hand: "Don't talk about it!" Turning his head to look at Takashi Nishimura: "Mr. Nishimura, we only need one answer, that is, the Chinese film delegation is the only film troupe that can represent China." What is happening today is an insult to the Chinese delegation. If this matter is not properly resolved, it will hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, and it will be very difficult to repair it in the future. Jiang Ping looked at his watch and said: "Give you half an hour, tell us the answer after half an hour, if you can't add the word China when introducing the Taiwan delegation, then the Chinese delegation will withdraw from the film festival, and even consider not participating in the Tokyo Film Festival in the future!"

Zhang Ran and Jiang Ping glanced at each other, nodded, and said loudly, "Let's go!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

After coming out of the briefing site, Zhang Ran and Jiang Ping came to the rest room of the Chinese delegation. As soon as Zhang Ran entered, his brows furrowed, in addition to the dozen or so actors in the Chinese delegation, the film delegation from the Taiwan region was also inside, there were more than forty, Ruan Jingyu and Zhao Youting were among them. The faces of the members of both delegations were very solemn, and they should have known what was happening. Li Ang's younger brother Li Gang was also inside, and Zhang Ran knew him, but he didn't know him very well, so they nodded to each other.

At this time, Zhang Ran really felt that Dongying people were deliberately stirring up trouble. Cross-strait relations are something that everyone knows, and this is not the first time that the two sides of the strait have clashed over titles. Then when arranging, the two sides should be separated as much as possible to avoid conflict between the two sides. It is customary to deal with it in this way, such as the seats at the Oscars, when arranging the seats, the rivals will not be arranged together, and the enemies will be very separated, so as not to embarrass each other.

Knowing that there are many contradictions between the two sides, the organizing committee also arranged the two sides together, which is obviously provocative!

Zhang Ran felt that it was better for the two sides to separate, so he turned to Jiang Ping and said, "Let everyone go to our lounge!"

Jiang Ping also felt that it was best to leave here, so as not to have another conflict, so he said hello to the actors of the Chinese delegation, and led everyone to follow Zhang Ran to their lounge.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Ping briefly explained what had happened, and said that if the organizing committee of the film festival could not solve the matter, then the delegation would withdraw from the Tokyo Film Festival. When the members of the delegation heard Zhang Jingchu question the other party if you are not Chinese, the other party actually said that it was not, and they were very angry, saying that the issue of principle must not be backed down.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door of the lounge was pushed open with the sound of hurried footsteps.
