Chapter 085 Campus Speech
ps: Kneel down to thank daddy for his tip......
When Jin Zhongming said, 'I see', Yu Fatzi was a little broken, everyone understands people, and the meaning of the promise in these words should not be too obvious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 This means that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", a film that is ready to invest nearly 30 million US dollars, will increase the huge commercial risk because of the two sentences of these two people!
Yes, that's right! That "Crucible" is neither a costume nor a war film, according to Kim Jong-ming's description, theoretically a month and a half of intensive filming may become a ...... But! That's theoretical, what if it's delayed? When the time comes, I'll change the protagonist temporarily? Who will be responsible? Thirty million dollars! I'm the one who loses!
But then again, the real reason for the collapse in Yu Fatzi's heart was that he found that he couldn't refute it! Not to mention that he had just exchanged shares with Jin Zhongming here, and he hadn't had time to officially sign a contract with Tsui Hark over there, okay? Even if these two people were here to use his money to add five to perform something 'at first sight', he could only laugh three times, and he could only do nothing! Otherwise, it would be a greater risk!
But...... How can I say it? Yu Dong is a person with a thousand or ten thousand, and he is always a person who does things. So, although he was unhappy with these two people in his heart, although he had just ended his marriage, and although he was pointed at by many people behind his back and said that 'men become bad when they are rich', he can always arrange his official affairs properly.
Not to mention anything else, in the next two days, although it was said that Yu Fatzi hated Jin Zhongming to the point of his lungs, he still seriously arranged a large number of high-end face brushing activities for the other party according to the original plan. first an interview with a movie channel, then a meeting with a direct background in radio and television, and in the end, he actually arranged a campus lecture for Jin Zhongming to his alma mater, Beiying.
Although it is only a large classroom, although it is only a technical speech, it is still a very sincere action.
“oppa…… Will people throw shoes when you get to college?" Chu Long looked a little nervous while helping Jin Zhongming put on light makeup a little.
"Why do you say that?" Jin Zhongming suddenly laughed. "I was just joking......"
"But. Chu Long said in a hesitant manner. "I do feel that people here are a little ...... when they hear Koreans There is some inexplicable hostility. ”
Kim Jong Ming sighed slightly, this is indeed a big truth, as long as the US father's army is still in Gyeonggi Province, the so-called Sino-South Korean friendship will definitely be 'evergreen like pines and cypresses'.
"Besides, you said that the president of the university was thrown in his shoes when he went to give a speech at another school......" Chu Long continued to preach with some concern. "Since you are the principal, you must be fifty or sixty years old, and they still dare to smash it, so if you make them angry......
"Chu Long. Seeing that the other party helped him clean up, Jin Zhongming stood up and took the other party's shoulders and came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel. "First of all, the quality of Chinese college students is not as bad as you think, not to mention that campus speeches are only for those who are willing to go, and those who are unwilling to go, and those who are really willing to listen to me actually have some good intentions. And as for the people you are talking about smashing their shoes...... Is there any? I guess there may be. But if you think about it, if you really encounter that kind of thing, will the person who gets smashed care? I think the principal who was smashed would only feel sorry for the students who smashed him, right?"
Chu Long realized.
"Anyway. Jin Zhongming finally made a somewhat plausible conclusion. "Come with me today, purely to fulfill the duties of a secretary. ”
Chu Long nodded seriously.
In this way, the time flickered slightly, and it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. In a large classroom in Beiying, Jin Zhongming has also successfully concluded his speech, and the theme of his speech is "Film Application of 3D Technology". In fact, in the whole process, not to mention the smashing of shoes, even the contradiction, and a lot of applause, as simple and harmonious as a celebrity public class.
In other words, the students sitting in the audience are just like what Jin Zhongming said when he comforted Chu Long before, first of all, the quality of Chinese college students is not so bad, and some incidents that are making a lot of noise on the Internet are only isolated. Secondly, even if anti-Korean sentiment is widespread among the people, the people who are really willing to listen to it have already screened out the malicious ones, and in the end, the people who come here are not half fans, but at least they will not hide a shoe to come in.
This is really not nonsense, as if Kim Jong-ming vaguely remembered what happened in his previous life after the Olympics in Brazil. At that time, Director Lang Pinglang was going to come to the volleyball department of the Beijing Normal School, so several university forums around this side immediately burst into flames! At the same time, a figure that everyone never imagined -- Liu Jianhong would actually come to the vicinity of the Beijing Normal School to give a speech on behalf of LeTV...... Uh, that's right, this one wants to talk about the Chinese men's football team! So, several forums also exploded immediately! It seems that everyone was thinking about splitting into two at that time, and one wanted to go to the Beijing Division to take a look at Lang's guidance from a distance to comfort his life. Then the other wanted to see Liu Jianhong, but it was like a joke to see how many college students would be willing to listen to the Chinese men's football team?
But in reality, the results were much more than everyone expected. There are indeed a lot of people who go to see Lang's guidance, and the atmosphere is also very good, and everyone has a great time in the volleyball stadium of the Beijing Normal School. However, there are a lot of people who listen to Liu Jianhong talk about the Chinese men's football team, and it is also bursting, and the atmosphere is also very good!
Later, when everyone discussed, the answer was very simple, that is, there are too many Chinese, especially there are so many college students nearby, there will definitely be enough people who have leisure time and care about the Chinese men's soccer team! Even if this number is only 1% of the people who admire Lang's guidance, it is enough to fill a conference hall, and then everyone will have fun together.
Kim Jong-myung encountered the same situation, although it is now 10 years, the popularity of Hallyu actors in China is really not high, after all, this is not the same thing as idol, in fact, no one pays attention to him walking on the streets of Chaoyang District these days. However, Beiying is Beiying after all, and there are always a few people who have watched his movies, maybe they watched "Lao Qian", maybe they watched "Those Years", or maybe it was "Uncle", so there are still a lot of scattered students. In addition, the faces of Yu Dong and Tsui Hark, who accompanied him, are also very valuable, and this event is still under the banner of Sino-Korean film exchanges, so several school leaders and department leaders still have a lot of face to accompany the two officials...... Well, if you look at it this way, it's no wonder that Kim Jong-ming's speech was full of applause.
But...... Just when a group of people were about to follow Jin Zhongming to end such a harmonious technical speech, and then go to a nearby university 'Science and Technology Building' for lunch at noon, a student who seemed to be quite old and should have experienced a little experience suddenly stood up.
Then, a question was asked.
It's nothing, and the questions after the speech are a matter of course. But it is clear that this student's question is a little sensitive:
"What does Mr. Kim Jong-ming think about the differences in film censorship between the two countries, or do you think it is imperative for China to introduce a film classification system?"
There was a small noise below, but the eyes of several school leaders and officials sitting in the front row immediately narrowed.
However, they only squinted their eyes, and had nothing more to say, because the years were no longer the same as they used to be.
First, they have no choice but to take the students. Second, it seems that there is a consensus on public opinion on this issue alone, and the notoriety of film censorship is already a fact, and even the officials themselves can only use the words "the immediate reform is difficult" to perfunctory, and dare not directly deny it.
However, this incident still made these people in the first three rows very nervous, because the person on the stage was a foreigner after all, and it was easier to attract attention when he said the same thing, and then according to the lawless character of this group of college students, he would definitely explode directly. In fact, it is true, not to mention anything else, those students who are purely here to see the excitement have been drowsy because of the professional terms on various shooting scenes, but they are also excited at the moment.
Jin Zhongming was stunned for a while on the stage with the microphone, but in the end he could only smile bitterly: "I thought I had passed the test safely!"
The students in the audience burst into laughter, they didn't expect Jin Zhongming to even know the sensitivity of this issue, which shows that he is a real Chinese expert, not just good Chinese.
"Let's be honest. When the laughter had subsided, Kim Jong-ming sat back on the chair on the podium and looked at the student with a smile. "Why are you asking me this question? Shouldn't you answer this kind of question yourself? After all, the future of Chinese films is yours, and I ...... It's powerless!"
"It's interesting. An official turned his head and whispered to the people next to him. "The more foreign collaborators there are, the better. ”
The rest nodded in agreement.
"We already have our own answers. The student clearly didn't want to let Kim go away. "I just wanted to hear what you, a bystander, think. ”
"Why do you have to listen to me?" Kim Jong-ming was still trying to dodge. "It's okay if you have your opinion, why should you care about my opinion as a Korean. ”
"It's simple. "The student seems to have a preconceived notion and is therefore aggressive. "Chinese and Korean films have fallen into a trough together, and now they are rising together. However, compared with the quality of Chinese films in the era before the trough, although the two markets are active again at the same time, the quality of our films has generally lagged behind the Korean side, is there no reason for censorship?"
This is too straightforward, not to mention a few leaders, even Yu Dong and several well-known teachers sitting next to him have a little fluttering eyes.
However, the student who stood up continued: "At least in terms of subject matter, you can shoot the Gwangju incident, but we can't even mention that era; you can satirize current politics and make "The Barber of Hyoja-dong", but we have nothing to do, you can boldly use erotic art, this year's "The Lower Girl" and "The Legend of Fangzi" are exquisite, but we can't touch ...... at all."
Jin Zhongming stopped smiling for a long time, he could see that he couldn't avoid this today, and it would be bigger news if he really left directly, so he listened carefully to the student's explanation similar to venting as usual, and then picked up the microphone again:
"Let's be honest, I think you have long had prejudices in your heart, so you hope I can give an answer that meets your heart, right?"
"Do we still need to discuss?" the student looked as a matter of course, and even the rest of the students did the same.
"I think it needs to be discussed. Jin Zhongming replied calmly.
Especially since the other party is still a foreigner, I have never heard of a foreigner who wants to say a few words about China's censorship, and even if a Chinese work wants to win a foreign award, it must scold the government, the country, and the system, this is all an old rule......
Just when everyone in the audience was thinking, Kim Jong-ming had already started: "One of your important arguments is that Chinese films are worse than Korean films, and because China has more censorship, this quality gap should be counted on the censorship, right?"
"That's right. ”
"Then I want to ask you, don't you think that the censorship of Korean films is not strict?" asked Kim Jong-ming unhurriedly. "Today in this classroom, I am talking nonsense through the protective layer of the ivory tower...... Do you know that even under the classification system, a large number of films in South Korea are forcibly cut every year, and many are simply shot?"
“……”
"I'll tell you. Seeing that the other party was stuck, Jin Zhongming explained unhurriedly. "To give you an example that seems to you to have refreshed the three views -- socialist thought. Every year, the Korean Film Promotion Committee shoots down a number of films that they believe are propagating socialist ideas. ”
There was an uproar in the audience.
"This is because of the confrontation between the two Koreas. Jin Zhongming did not shy away from explaining. "Therefore, South Korean law clearly stipulates that propaganda and agitation of socialism is illegal! And not only did the film be killed, but people were directly arrested on this basis for a long time before...... Over the years, it has gotten better, but that's because Korean directors and film companies have learned to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. You say that we filmed the Gwangju incident, but isn't that a kind of political correctness? You say "The Barber of Hyoja-dong", do you know how long it took for politicians to attack each other with that movie after it was released? So I want to tell you that on the issue of firewalls and state ideology, countries all over the world are the same, and there is really nothing to say about this. ”
The student who asked the question "......" was already a little confused. "That'...... What about ghost movies and erotica?"
"Let me ask you one thing first, do you know that **** was legal in South Korea before 04?" Kim Jongming asked rhetorically while holding the microphone. "Eroticism and ghosts are indeed very valuable for artistic discussion, but they involve social customs. It's like director Tsui Hark sitting over there, I like his "Green Snake" very much, but that can only be filmed in Xiangjiang, because at that time, where there was a floor and a phoenix, it can't be filmed at this time here! This is a matter of course, there is no need to censor that line, and this kind of theme will be automatically blocked from the beginning of the market! Even to the extreme, if you go to the Middle East to see, even if you are an oil tycoon, but you dare to make films about these themes, you will be shot and killed by your bodyguards when you turn around, and then your bodyguards are still big heroes. At a time when the reality of social customs is there, it makes no sense to talk about this topic. Cinema is noble, but it comes from life!"
"Is art destined to bow to reality?" Obviously, this one was still very unconvinced, as everyone could see, he had preconceived notions.
"It's not about bowing to reality. Jin Zhongming shook his head slightly. "But art must have a realistic foundation, of course you can be Van Gogh, but you have to have the consciousness to bear that pain! Even to put it mildly, since the students here have come to this school, there will certainly be many people who come with the ideal of 'for the rise of Chinese films,' but who has not come with the purpose of being a star and a director to make money and enjoy life? Is there one? Even those who are making so-called art films and underground films are not seeking fame?"
Some of the words are not good, and even a little vicious, but most people understand in their hearts, and those students have nothing to say, so there is silence in the classroom at this moment.
To be honest, when it comes to this, it can be regarded as a pass, just don't embarrass Yu Dong and those leaders, and the rest should be dispersed, or pat your ass and leave.
However, Jin Zhongming didn't know which medicine he had taken wrong, and he seemed to want to discuss this issue completely: "What you said just now, we have already discussed the censorship system...... So the question is, are Korean movies really good, or are Chinese movies really bad?"
"This doesn't need to be discussed, is it?" said another student who couldn't hold back, took the microphone and stood up. "The market has been a lot better in recent years, but the lower limit of Chinese films has been refreshed again and again, while the upper limit of Korean films has been refreshed again and again, right? "Chaser", "Uncle" ...... These things are there for all to see. ”
Jin Zhongming thought for a long time, and then nodded: "That's true, I have nothing to say about this argument." However, I still insist on the quality of the films of the two countries, and I cannot draw conclusions so simply. ”
"Why?"
"The reason is simple. Jin Zhongming helplessly spread out a hand. "The films of the two countries have their own big problems, and before these fundamental problems cannot be solved, the eldest brother should not talk about the second brother......"
The atmosphere in the audience suddenly got a lot better, no matter what you say, even if you are scolding Chinese movies, but no one wants to see your hard work denied, it is always good to have someone say a few words fairly.
"Chinese films are very problematic, the market is surging, and at the same time the protection is strong, so bad movies are rampant...... But do you think Korean movies are no big problem?" Kim Jong-ming recounted helplessly. "Korean cinema has a great enemy......! Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth, the low-level actors and tricks go to shoot stand-ins, and they don't even have insurance. Why? The crew is poor. Why is the crew poor? Exploited by capital. South Korea's capital has seriously interfered with the development of Korean films!"
The audience fell silent again.
"A successful play, for example. Jin Zhongming spread out that palm again. "The tax is actually very small, because the state will support it, but the theater chain has to take 4 percent of the conscience, and even 6 percent for the black-hearted, which is half of it! Then, if there are still big-name actors who have signed a sharing agreement, then they have to take one to two percent again! So what if the production company still wants to make money and continue to develop? It's very simple, reduce costs. The little actor has no human rights in South Korea, and maybe no one will pay attention to him if he falls and is disabled. And it's not that they don't want to pay, but the crew can't afford to pay. Is there such a ridiculous problem with Chinese films? And let me tell you another fact, the theater chain of Korean films is basically monopolized, and they also control the largest production company in South Korea...... You can imagine what an extreme way that kind of capital is sucking the blood of the Korean film industry!"
After a pause, Jin Zhongming looked at the student who had already sat down to ask the question: "I don't say this to complain, but to tell you that you can see that the lower limit of Chinese movies is constantly being refreshed, and that is because you are in Chinese movies, and you can see the upper limit of Korean movies, that is because you are outside Korean movies, outside the wall, you can only see its upper limit, this is called objective law." So, these things don't really represent any absolute connotation!"
"What should we do?" someone shouted out without having time to take the microphone, holding his hands directly behind him in a barrel shape. "According to South Korea, you are a senior, what attitude should we use to face these things as the so-called 'future of Chinese films'?"
"That's what I'm going to say next. Jin Zhongming said with a smile. "First of all, my meaning is actually very simple, rules are based on the concept of the overall social situation, I don't think it can be easily denied or supported, because it really affects the whole body, and fierce comments will only complicate it. As for...... When I can't touch this level myself, more often than not, I think you still have to know how to compromise. ”
"Succumb to the market and capital?" said someone else. "Or submit to the bureaucracy and the government?"
"It doesn't have to be a yield. Jin Zhongming smiled bitterly and shook his head. "First you have to be able to make a film, you have to be able to survive, and then you have to change and push it...... If you can't even make a movie in the first place, why talk about pushing it to progress?"
Tsui Hark in the audience suddenly jumped eyelids.
"Hah!" Jin Zhongming sighed slightly self-deprecatingly. "I can tell that from the time I say it seems to be preaching, you don't listen to me. I'm also a young man, so I understand your psychology, but I still want to say a little bit more about it. Ladies and gentlemen......"
At this point, Jin Zhongming suddenly paused for a few seconds, glanced at the large classroom full of seats, and then continued very seriously: "In a complete film ecological environment, if it is still alive and developing, it means that there must be some bright and progressive things in it. And it must have been the leading role, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago. Of course, there are definitely dark and regressive parts, and even more eye-catching. But I would say, what if you're not the one in control? It's very simple, there's no need to complain, there's no need to think about making a splash, just reject the regressive and dark things, and choose the bright and progressive things. However, before that, you really need to compromise and forbear, and make certain compromises and forbearances to the market, to capital, to bureaucrats, to the system, and even to the selfish and material desires of individuals and people around you. Then, when you get the opportunity to participate, you can make a little progress from your part...... That's enough! As for the direction of progress, if the system doesn't work, the subject matter will not work, and if the subject matter doesn't work, the aesthetics will not work, and we can still innovate in technology! It really sounds like an empty truth, but the truth always makes sense, not to mention, this is indeed the heartfelt words of the film I have been filming for so many years...... Anyway, thank you all for today!"
The end of the speech was a bit hasty and weak, and that was because Jin Zhongming suddenly found that he had no position to say these words!
However, Rao was like this, and there was a round of applause in the audience almost without a gap. The applause rang out from the officials, school leaders, and teachers in the first three rows, and then the students slapped perfunctorily in the back.
To be honest, these students were very disappointed, they thought that the young Jin Zhongming would have a more in line with their hearts, but they did not expect to hear such an empty lecture at the end, which greatly disappointed the students who came to visit...... Sure enough, at such a young age, he lost the soul of an artist because he became a beneficiary of the system.
However, there are also people who don't see it that way.
"That's what it is...... Director Xu, what you said before, 'at first sight'?" Yu Dong clapped his hands and looked at Tsui Hark beside him.
"Not bad. Tsui Hark did not applaud, but took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with some trepidation, but found that he did not bring a lighter, so he had no choice but to stuff it back.
"I remember you didn't have much in-depth communication, huh?" Chen Yongxiong, who was sitting on the other side, was a little puzzled. "Did we meet in private recently?"
"Nope. Tsui Hark glanced at Jin Zhongming, who was talking enthusiastically with those officials, and then talked with some emotion. "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a no-brainer...... To be honest, there are some things that you business people will never understand, even if he and I were hypocritical when we first met that day, but when it comes to movies, the enthusiasm in our eyes can't be hidden. I understand, he understands, you don't understand, otherwise there would be no so-called obsession. ”
"Is it because of Li Yuchun?" Yu Dong shook his head speechlessly. "Director Xu, are you still very dissatisfied with this candidate?"
"I'm afraid of contrasts. Tsui Hark replied expressionlessly. "If it weren't for Li Yuchun, how could I stare at a person with conflicting schedules, even if he is an actor?"
"You're with me. Yu Dong looked at each other seriously and earnestly. "Why bother?"
"I don't know why I'm like this. Tsui Hark shook his head slightly. "I've actually made up my mind to survive on the mainland for a long time, so I've long made up my mind to make a gesture to you...... However, it may be like what Lao Chen said, if you meet the eyes, you will be strong. Of course, Yu is always the boss, or you have the final say. ”
Yu Donggan laughed: "I seem to be the villain, the dark side that hinders the development of Chinese films......"
"You're the villain!" Tsui Hark said very seriously to the boss he had chosen to sign the contract. "All Chinese filmmakers know it. ”
"But you know what?" Yu Dong suddenly felt a little upset, and he pointed to Jin Zhongming and said. "He is also a big villain, he is not only a representative of capital in South Korea, but also a private security company! And the "Melting Pot", he himself admits that it is a political task and a campaign demand......
"But people haven't forgotten about the movie. "Tsui Hark is still serious. "He, like me, is the same as he said, compromise, compromise with all kinds of things, but after the compromise, he will make movies seriously, I believe that his movies will still have their own purity after they come out! There will still be the purity that belongs to the movie!"
Yu Dong pursed his lips: "You are all good people, you are good filmmakers, you are all compromised, I understand this! But it is also difficult for me, Director Xu? It is difficult to be a director, but it is also difficult to be a boss! You have to understand, I am not a natural evil capitalist, I used to be exactly the same as these arrogant students, and I am also a student from Beiying......! I have to make money, and I can only become big if I make money, and Li Yuchun really has market appeal!"
"It's hard for everyone!" Chen Yongxiong hurriedly spoke out to persuade peace.
"That's right. Tsui Hark's tone was still serious. "It's hard for everyone, that's why I compromised with you, and then accepted Li Yuchun. ”
After that, Tsui Hark didn't say a word, just quietly watched Jin Zhongming laughing and talking with those people on the sidelines, and also watched the young students who were still talking about something.
And at this moment, suddenly, a lighter appeared in front of him, which was handed over by Yu Dong next to him.
"The students are gone, so don't worry. Yu Dong explained weakly.
"Thank you. Tsui Hark lit a cigarette on his lighter and continued to smoke in silence.
However, when he finished smoking a cigarette, he suddenly spoke again towards Yu Dong: "Mr. Yu...... I want to ask you a personal matter. ”
"Director Xu has something to say, just say it. ”
"Divorce settlements are such a thing...... Is there a good lawyer who introduced me to me? I'm going to have no worries before the filming. ”
Yu Dong and Chen Yongxiong on the other side were dumbfounded.
ps: Speaking of which, everyone, even if the state has been rubbish these days, do you really understand what I really want to say in these chapters? As a novel with the title of an actor, even if it is Korean entertainment, it is impossible not to think about the four words of Chinese movies as a spicy chicken writer who writes novels.
There is someone in the comment area who said that I belittled Director Tsui Hark, that is wronging me, the meaning of my book is actually very clear, Tsui Hark is a person that the protagonist respects very much, the two are really of the same mind, and they know what it is to be a believer in grievances.
mentioned the contradiction between Xiangjiang and the mainland's film and television circles, mentioned Chen Kexin's greed for money, and said that John Woo broke into Hollywood, which was actually for Tsui Hark. As a representative director of Hong Kong, he can calm down and continue to shoot China's own films in the mainland, and he can continue to innovate, even if it is only in technology, which is enough to make people admire and admire.
However, as I said, what is even more admirable is that he has a lot of rules and regulations in the mainland (there may be family problems, the specific time is uncertain, but it must be in the past few years after coming to the mainland), he can't be a Xu Lao monster here like in Xiangjiang, but in such a situation, he can still persevere, he can still make movies with his heart, and he can also bring out a group of film talents from the mainland...... That's pretty remarkable.
Some people say that he will only make money now, will only make commercial films, and say that there are many stars in his movies and they are rotten, but who has noticed that Li Yuchun in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was shoehorned in by Yu Dong personally? This kind of thing can be found at any time, Yu Dong said it himself. If he really had the final say, he could use this guy to play against Gui Lunmei and Chen Kun, and it would be remarkable that he could make China's first 3D technology film under such circumstances, even if he really succumbed to commercial needs and capital, and succumbed to censorship, it would be remarkable.
Well, it's the same as the protagonist's speech, if you don't listen to it, it's a bit of nonsense, don't care.
As for why I added more experience to the post that I didn't read clearly, the reason is very simple, although he didn't understand it, but at least I noticed a little bit of my side description of Tsui Hark...... And the rest of the more people think I'm in the water, and they all think that these chapters are just writing that the protagonist is going to play the factory...... In fact, the things that look like water are empty, and they are the real ones that want to talk about private goods.
600ps, 8k big chapter, not water, right? (To be continued.) )
