The National Broadcasting Equipment Expo in Las Vegas is one of the most prestigious exhibitions in the electronic media industry, attracting more than 100,000 professional visitors from more than 160 countries and regions around the world every year, and becoming a platform for more than 1,600 equipment manufacturers to display the latest products and application technologies in the electronic media industry.

At this time, a booth in the northwest corner of the exhibition hall was particularly popular, and the queue in front of the booth stretched for nearly 100 meters, and this was the booth of red-one.

When RED unveiled the idea of launching the Red-One at the fair last year, it was considered by many to be a scammer with only drawings and a request for reservations. This year, red not only brought a prototype, but also 4K movie footage shot by Zhang Ran with red-one. As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation at the fair, attracting countless people to watch it.

At this moment, the big screen of the booth is playing a clip of "Tangshan Earthquake", which is the scene when the earthquake comes. On the big screen, the house is collapsing, and everything is extremely clear in the 4K HD picture, even the falling sand grains are clearly visible.

Zhang Ran was talking to the famous director Steven Soderbergh in the corner of the booth at this time. Zhang Ran promised red that he would bring clips of the film to the expo platform, which was also a rare publicity opportunity for "Tangshan Earthquake", and Soderbergh came to find out after hearing that there were 4K cameras at the exhibition.

Zhang Ran recounted his feelings about using Red-One in detail, and finally concluded: "The picture we got is very good, there are no particles at all, it is simply three-dimensional quality, I feel as if I can go deep into the screen, because the depth of the picture is incredible, I am really conquered by this machine." ”

Soderbergh stared at the picture of "Tangshan Earthquake" and exclaimed: "This picture has the quality of 65mm film, which is incredible. How is this machine being used?"

Zhang Ran groaned and said: "There are many accessories, it takes a while to get used to, the heat dissipation is relatively poor, and the temperature is high and it is easy to crash, but it is enough to put ice packs on the fuselage." Everything else is very good, it's lighter than a film camera, you don't have to change the film, and more importantly, you can see how the shooting looks on the computer after shooting, and when you run out of red-one, I have a feeling, let the film camera go to hell!"

Soderbergh nodded and said, "I've been preparing a Che Guevara biopic recently, and if I'm going to shoot in the mountains, red-one should be a good choice!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Smart choice!"

The next day, the media reported on the sensation caused by the red-one at the show, and the entertainment media were not interested in 4K cameras, focusing on Zhang Ran and "Tangshan Earthquake", and many media exclaimed that "the first 4K movie was born in China".

At the same time, the controversy caused by "Providence" in China is also intensifying, and the two sides quarreled, and even triggered a discussion on how historical dramas are fictional and real.

A group of media and experts led by "Xinjing Daily" criticized "Providence" for smearing Fu Xi, and the plot was too outrageous and would mislead the audience.

Supporters of "Providence" insist that this is a science fiction drama, not a historical drama, and that after watching "Journey to the West", will they take the events in the novel as true? At the same time, they insist that Long Xi in "Providence" is not a villain, and he has not done anything excessive. Even if time and space are really reversed, Long Xi may not stop teaching civilization to humans. It was only Han Xin's speculation that human civilization would disappear, but Han Xin was not wrong, even if Long Xi promised to teach civilization to mankind again after the reversal of time and space, would Han Xin dare to believe it? What if Long Xi repented?

The contradiction between the peak of the century and Hua Yi is well known, "Xinjing Daily" and other media have a good relationship with Hua Yi, "Providence" made this incident, fans naturally think that Hua Yi is making trouble, and they began to look for Hua Yi's black spots, in order to crack down on this mastermind behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, they really found a huge black spot that shocked people, the TV series "Seven Grades of Li Shaved Head"!

The play "Seven Grades of Li Shaving His Head" tells a series of stories about the early years of the Qing Dynasty, when the Qing army entered Sichuan, in order to spiritually conquer the Han people, and promoted the shaving of hair and braids. The director of this play is Zhang Zhien, who has directed "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and wants to continue to take the light comedy route of "Liu Luoguo".

However, Zhang Zhien made a mistake, the "bandits" who were exterminated in the play were the rebels who did not want to shave their heads, and millions of people died because of the implementation of shaving their hair and clothes, such a tragedy is depicted in comedy, which is unreasonable in any way.

In fact, since the start of "Seven Products Li Shaved Head", there have been a lot of criticisms on the Internet, but they have not spread, and now things are suddenly getting bigger. Countless netizens were enraged by this drama, and the entire Internet world was scolded, Zhang Zhien, and the ancestors of the Wang family brothers were greeted over and over again;

In Huayi's office, Wang Zhonglei yelled angrily: "These people are sick, aren't they just a play, why do they want to be on the line?"

Wang Zhongjun is also depressed, Hua Yi is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, "Night Banquet" and "Ink Attack" smashed two big dramas in succession, Hua Yi lost more than 20 million, I originally expected several TV series to return to the cost, but I didn't expect to have such a mess again, it was simply unlucky.

Zhang Ran was also a little dumbfounded when he returned to China after participating in the expo, in "Providence", Han Xin stood up to death in order to protect the civilization of this nation, and was a hero who guarded Chinese civilization.

That's bad news!

Zhang Ran is extremely painful, he knows that ethnic and religious issues are the red line of the General Administration, and film and television dramas involving such issues are often killed, so "Seven Grades of Li Shaved Head" will definitely be banned, but this drama itself is really too much, this kind of theme dares to make a comedy, and it is self-inflicted if it is banned, and some things cannot be joked.

It's just that in the eyes of the General Administration, the recent turmoil was provoked by "Providence", and it will definitely hit 50 boards each, and I will ban you all to see who of you will dare to make trouble in the future! Therefore, after banning "Seven Grades of Li Shaved Head", "Providence" will definitely be unlucky.

Zhang Ran really wants to scold his mother, especially the mother of the Wang brothers, this is really a blood mold!

Sure enough, at noon the next day, Zhang Ran, who was resting in the office of the Olympic Operation Center, received a call from Cai Yinong.

"Mr. Zhang, something happened!" Cai Yinong looked very anxious, "I received a notice from the General Administration that "Providence" is not suitable for broadcast on satellite TV for the time being!"

For the time being, it is not suitable for broadcast on satellite TV, that is, it is banned, but it is more euphemistic. Zhang Ran sighed in his heart, sure enough, he still came, he took a breath, and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "No way, revise it!

Cai Yinong knew that Zhang Ran had a good relationship with the General Administration, and originally wanted Zhang Ran to go through the relationship with the General Administration, but he didn't expect him to directly propose a revision, and he hesitated: "How to change it?"

Zhang Ran frowned and said, "Do you know Brother Chen Kai's "Lu Bu and Diao Chan"?

"Lu Bu and Diao Chan" is a costume TV series based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is the first major drama of Chen Kaige and Chen Hong to set foot on the screen. However, after the broadcast, many viewers complained, saying that it was too bloody to change history, so it was banned by the General Administration. Brother Chen Kai and the others had to change the names of the characters in the whole play to names that had nothing to do with "Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu changed his name to Tianya, Diao Chan became Butterfly Dance, and finally re-broadcast it under the name of "Butterfly Dance Tianya".

If it is modified in this way, then "Providence" will have to be changed except for Ji Jiang, which is a big project. Cai Yinong was very depressed: "Mr. Zhang, is there no other way?"

Zhang Ran really doesn't have any good way now: "Just do it!"

Zhang Ran is not afraid of revision, what he is really worried about is that the General Administration will be one-size-fits-all, just like if there are some problems in the broadcast of genres such as dramas involved in the case and time-traveling dramas, the General Administration directly ordered these types to be banned. If the General Administration cuts science fiction dramas across the board, then things are really in trouble. Not only is "Providence" finished, but Zhang Ran's planned "Dragon Group" series of online dramas may go bankrupt.

However, two days later, things took a turn for the better, Zhang Ran received a call from Cai Yinong, and her tone was very cheerful: "Mr. Zhang, you are still amazing!"

Zhang Ran said inexplicably: "What's amazing?"

Cai Yinong laughed briskly: "In the morning, I received a notice from the General Administration that we should send "Providence" for review again. ”

Zhang Ran was stunned, things had taken a turn for the better? What the hell was going on? He couldn't help asking, "You're not kidding, are you?"

Hearing this, Cai Yinong realized that the matter should have nothing to do with Zhang Ran, but it was not Zhang Ran, who else had such a relationship? She said suspiciously: "It's really not your relationship with someone to get through?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "This matter is so big, how can I have the ability to suppress it!"

Cai Yinong Qi said: "Who could it be?"

Zhang Ran was also very surprised, and after hanging up Cai Yinong's phone, he leaned back in his chair and groaned for a while, unable to figure out what was going on. Since you can't figure it out, you can just ask. He picked up his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Hongsheng, deputy director of the General Bureau: "Zhang Ju, I'm Zhang Ran, I want to ask you something!"

Zhang Hongsheng said lazily: "What's the matter, you can say it!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Our company's TV series "Providence", a few days ago, the General Administration said that it was not suitable for broadcasting, but today I received a call again, asking us to re-submit for review, what is going on?"

Zhang Hongsheng laughed: "Zhang Ran, young people should pursue progress, and they should pay more attention to current affairs!"

Zhang Ran felt strange and had nothing to do with current affairs, so he said: "The Olympics are relatively busy, and I have been watching the news at all recently. Zhang Ju, don't sell it, what's going on?"

Zhang Hongsheng coughed and said solemnly: "Yesterday, the General Administration studied the important speech of the No. 1 leader on 'continuously promoting the great development and prosperity of culture', and you can understand it by looking at the speech of the No. 1 chief. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran found the speech mentioned by Zhang Hongsheng on the Internet, which was delivered two days ago when the No. 1 chief presided over a symposium on literary and artistic work in Beiping, mainly focusing on "how to find the right direction for China's cultural development, enhance the international competitiveness of China's culture, and enhance the country's soft power".

The content of the speech was not long, and Zhang Ran quickly finished reading it. He knew why the General Administration would let go of "Providence", and the No. 1 chief pointed out when talking about the film industry: "It is necessary to produce science fiction film and television works that are refreshing and fascinating, showing Chinese imagination, Chinese style, and Chinese style." ”

"Providence" is undoubtedly a science fiction work that shows Chinese imagination, Chinese style, and Chinese style, and is an oriental science fiction with a strong sense of history.

Zhang Ran doesn't know if this is related to the mention of science fiction movies in his last report, since the No. 1 leader mentioned in his speech that he wants to develop science fiction film and television works, then the morality of the General Administration will inevitably relax the censorship of science fiction films, at least in terms of the review scale is similar to other films.

This is a great thing for Chinese films, and even for the entire film industry.
