Chapter 467 Media Reaction
Regarding the slaughter of dolphins in the Taiji area of Japan, when the world's influential media learned about it, they were shocked, and they agreed to Zhou Shaoming's invitation to come to the fishing village in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan for filming.
When the fishermen intervened in the rough behavior of the reporters, the police department rushed to the area, and when Benjamin was still holding the camera, the police immediately stopped the camera mechanism in Benjamin's hand.
The director of the National Police Agency couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw Zhou Shaoming, who had been trying to dig up the scene of the dolphin being slaughtered here. said to Zhou Shaoming in front of him: "Mr. Smith Zhou, it seems that your injuries have recovered." ”
Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and looked at the dispatch of the director of the police department this time, looking menacing. couldn't help but smile contemptuously and said, "So what? ”
The director of the National Police Agency sternly said to the people around him: "Arrest Mr. Smith Zhou and others." ”
Facing the police officers close to him, Zhou Shaoming snorted and said lightly: "I will leave myself." ”
When Zhou Shaoming took the reporter to the Taiji area for filming, the police department dispatched and detained Zhou Shaoming, Benjamin, and Wu Jing, who were arrested.
At this time, the police conducted mediation between the two sides in the same place, and the reporters left one after another.
When the director of the National Police Department was asked by reporters why he arrested Zhou Shaoming, the director of the National Police Department replied truthfully: "Smith Zhou carried out sabotage activities in Japan, and let Zhou Shaoming run away at that time, and now he just asks Zhou Shaoming to go to the police station for a normal confession and questioning." ”
The reporters left one after another, and the director of the National Police Agency could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the police hall, no matter how the police coerced Zhou Shaoming, Zhou Shaoming just sat calmly at the table and was unmoved. During the one-night interrogation, Zhou Shaoming, Benjamin, and Wu Jing did not admit to the police's unreasonable accusations.
The next day. All the media broke out, making headlines about Zhou Shaoming's coming to Japan to shoot "Dolphin Bay".
Mike, a commentator for the New York Times, put it this way: "No one could have imagined that Director Smith Chow would go to a small place in Japan and fight against rough fishermen to find out if the fishermen had slaughtered dolphins!" What else do we have to say about such a Smith Chow director! ”
"In the face of a reporter filming in Wakayama Prefecture, who was brutally manipulated by local fishermen, and in this case, the people from the National Police Agency took only the famous Hollywood director Smith Chow, and we were surprised where the Japanese law is. Can anything be done for the sake of money, for the sake of covering up the truth? Los Angeles Times
"The savagery of the fishermen. The police were unreasonable, and they didn't expect such a ridiculous incident to exist under Japan's health laws. For director Smith Chow's filming in the Taiji area, we believe that most people will support it and will continue to support it. Asia Daily.
After the media reported on the incident as a whole, the Taiji Town District Government and the people from the National Police Agency were suddenly overwhelmed, and the people from the National Police Agency were busy early in the morning.
Even the local popular daily newspaper of the daily newspaper said: "Why would we, the Japanese authorities, ignore the law for a director who comes to Japan to shoot a film?" What do they want to hide behind their real actions? ”
At the invitation of Zhou Shaoming, major well-known media organizations have expressed interest in the slaughter of dolphins in the harbor of Dolphin Bay, but they do not know the true or false media. Reporters began to be sent out to seek answers on the ground.
Zhou Shaoming's detention by the National Police Agency has triggered the support of all the media, and in the face of the huge headlines of major media, the Taiji Town Police Department is under pressure.
"It's a battle of public opinion. Smith Chow went so far as to launch a media campaign to attack us. The director of the National Police Agency couldn't help but slap the table and said angrily.
However, it was the public opinion given by the media that put pressure on the local government, and even the local media never reported on the dolphin incident in the Taiji area. This time, I kept commenting.
Kirk Honeycutt, a fact-commentator invited by CBA Radio, couldn't help but say, "Is Director Smith Chow crazy?" A man who silently went to that barbaric place of Japan to fight against those rough fishermen, did he forget, forgot that he had so many friends around us, and if he had told us about it in the first place, things would not have been so bad. ”
"We?"
Kirk Honeycutt affirmed: "We! Those of us who have a good conscience, those of us who can help him. ”
"Can we really help him?"
"Naturally, Smith Zhou is under detention in Japan, you see, now all the media are making headlines these days, in this case, can the local government of Taiji Town not be moved? They are covering the sky with one hand, but they can't block everyone's public opinion, let alone everyone's bright eyes. ”
The indignant director of the National Police Department finally received an order to release Zhou Shaoming and his party.
When Zhou Shaoming and others walked out of the Taichi District Police Station, they were already surrounded by reporters waiting at the door.
Regarding Zhou Shaoming's appearance, this is a gesture of concession made by the entire media under the pressure of the unreasonable administration of the Taiji Town Government, and it is the continuous reporting of this matter by the media that allows Zhou Shaoming and his party to escape the unreasonable detention of the local government in the Taiji Town area.
"I'm a reporter for Asia Daily, director Smith Chow, how do you feel about this?"
Facing the reporter's question, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but stop and replied to the reporter: "This time the media friends came forward at the moment of our embarrassment, and I suddenly felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. ”
Suddenly enlightened, Zhou Shaoming exhaled deeply, indeed, Zhou Shaoming, who walked out of the police station at this time, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because at this moment, Kerry and the others were released with him. For this real-life shooting, Zhou Shaoming felt so difficult for the first time, when there were times of difficulty every time.
As a director, Zhou Shaoming always feels that there is a threshold that he can't pass, but Lu Dao turns around naturally.
In the past, Zhou Shaoming's movies were always because he was Chinese in Hollywood, and he could suddenly emerge to achieve the path of a well-known director, which really made many people look unpleasant, and it was always when Zhou Shaoming's movies were not yet released, he always tried to give some negative news, hoping to affect Zhou Shaoming.
Of course. If Zhou Shaoming's movie is not popular with the audience, more people will see Zhou Shaoming's reversal of the unfavorable situation again and again.
This time, on the contrary, Zhou Shaoming had no way to reverse the situation of Kerry's arrest in Japan, and Zhou Shaoming, who had been thinking about it for a long time, hoped to get the power of the media to bring this group of Kerry, Simon, Mandy, and Carat who were kinder and braver than themselves. Joe, Louis, Charles were all rescued.
And the media's attitude is more positive than Zhou Shaoming's imagination, think about the past, when his movie was being filmed, some media would be optimistic, and some media would only criticize themselves, no matter what the reason, in front of the media, Zhou Shaoming will always be just an object of accusation.
Because Zhou Shaoming is Chinese. His identity would have been out of place with most people in Hollywood, but this time it was different.
As soon as Zhou Shaoming's invitation came out, well-known newspapers and radio reporters poured into this small Taiji town area.
"Some people say Smith Chow is crazy. Every time he is arrogant and domineering, people feel that he is coming out of the spiritual courtyard, but his brave behavior again and again makes us feel. Director Smith Chow is a kind and brave madman, a madman full of wisdom. When this madman led a group of madmen in Japan to expose the slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in Taiji Town. This madman was suddenly locked up, and suddenly, people felt a little nostalgic, when will this madman with a genius IQ come out? We are even more puzzled that in a country as legally healthy as Japan, the government would detain this group of madmen so lawlessly, what is the law? Where are the human rights? "The Hollywood Reporter's well-known film critic Drew Salis
"Hello, I'm a reporter from the San Francisco Daily, may I ask Director Smith Zhou, you are here this time to expose the slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in Taiji Town, Japan, is there really such a thing?"
The reporter's question made Zhou Shaoming's eyes light up, Zhou Shaoming looked at the camera seriously, and said confidently: "Yes, I am very sure that there is a slaughter of dolphins here, which is also the purpose of me leading this group of brave and kind people behind me to come here, we want to record such a scene and let the world see it." ”
In the face of Zhou Shaoming's answer, the reporters present continued to shine on Zhou Shaoming's confident and charming face, photographing Wu Jing, Simon and others behind Zhou Shaoming.
"Do you have any proof?"
Zhou Shaoming looked at the reporter in front of him, a reporter from the Daily News Agency? I guess this is a local newspaper in Japan. Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and couldn't help but smile confidently: "The evidence is that when my new film "Dolphin Bay Documentary" was released, it was when I showed the evidence to everyone. ”
"The new film "Dolphin Bay Documentary" was released? Director Smith Zhou, are you mistaken, your new film should be "Dolphin Bay", which is a commercial film about a love story, how did it become a documentary? I'm sorry, but I'm a reporter for the Chicago Reader. ”
When Zhou Shaoming heard the reporter's question, he couldn't help laughing and said: "This question is good, originally my new film "Dolphin Bay" is a love commercial film, I just want to add the slaughter of dolphins here, and let everyone know about this matter through this form, but what my team members have filmed here through hardships, they prefer to appear in the form of a documentary, I respect everyone's opinions, so before the release of "Dolphin Bay", We will come here first, and the whole process of filming will be shown to you in a recorded way. ”
"You're such a brave director, we've never seen a director with a high level of intelligence, I'm a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, may I ask Director Smith Chow, why did you come here in Japan to confirm the fact that dolphins were slaughtered here? So what kind of scenes did you shoot, can you tell us about it? ”
When Zhou Shaoming heard such a question, he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "In order to truly let the audience see the scene of the slaughter of dolphins in "Dolphin Bay", I came here to get live shooting and added it to my new movie, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. As for what we have filmed, you will definitely be able to see in the future, I am a director, my eloquence is not inferior to you reporters, and I hope to express it through my own films. ”
"Director Smith Chow is so humorous." In the group of reporters, there was a sigh of praise out of nowhere.
For the approval of this incident, all the media are basically unanimous, and all the media eyes and front-page news began to praise Director Zhou Shaoming for a while. Director Zhou Shaoming, who has only shown a trace of edge in Hollywood, has established himself in the director industry, and is moving towards more brilliant achievements.
The media unanimously praised that in Hollywood, no matter which director and actor he used to be famous, but if he didn't shoot movies for a long time or didn't appear in any films as an actor, then the aura of his previous efforts and proud achievements will gradually be eliminated.
Zhou Shaoming is well aware of the rules of the game in Hollywood. So Zhou Shaoming keeps shooting his own movies, making himself a myth that cannot be surpassed in Hollywood.
Before reaching this height, Zhou Shaoming knew that his pace could not slow down, because if you slow down, you will be surpassed by the opponent behind you.
After coming to Japan, filming the real scene of the massacre in Dolphin Bay obviously made Zhou Shaoming grow a lot in the directing industry.
The high praise of the media is not to praise Zhou Shaoming's movie this time, but to praise Zhou Shaoming as a director. What a conscience and what a brave director.
Zhou Shaoming looked at all kinds of news that he had on the front page, although it was a little regrettable, everyone was not praising how good his movie was. It's just that you keep putting high hats on yourself from moral character.
But such a scene, but for the first time, Zhou Shaoming was a little moved, and moved the media to collectively support him this time.
If anyone will ask. What's this, you, who are already a big Hollywood director, won the Oscar for Best Picture Golden Doll Zhou Shaoming. Director Zhou Shaoming, who has a high popularity at the global box office, was unanimously praised by the media, isn't that a normal and ordinary thing?
Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Simon's question, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said, "I'm not a god, I can't do things that satisfy everyone." ”
When Kra saw Zhou Shaoming, who seemed to be a little sad, but seemed to be very happy, he couldn't help but smile: "You did it this time." ”
Zhou Shaoming looked back at everyone.
Look at Simon, who is physically strong.
looked at Kerry with a face of vicissitudes.
Looking at the loving Mandy couple.
Look at the injured Charles.
Look at Louis who is excited.
Wu Jing, who looked at a star fan.
Looking at Benjamin, who is still growing a lot.
He said to everyone, "No, I didn't do it this time." Zhou Shaoming said heavily: "This time everyone did it together, because we will always be a team." All the credit goes to everyone. ”
Everyone, we are a team, and we will always be a team. When I heard Zhou Shaoming's strong words, I immediately sat in the car, because everyone was obviously excited because of the siege of the reporter just now.
was stunned for a moment, everyone looked at Zhou Shaoming's expression, and thought that in the process of this shooting, they encountered various difficulties and finally came to this point.
The car was quiet, but everyone's hearts were restless.
A surging mood filled everyone's hearts, including Zhou Shaoming's heart.
Everyone looked at each other, looked at the familiar faces, and everyone's eyes showed that brave and determined gaze, and it was also because of these feelings that the team that gathered together for a while would shine in front of the media around the world.
Behind this shining aura, there have been a lot of ups and downs, and perhaps some will only see the dazzling eyes after those successes.
But it is undeniable that without these difficulties and setbacks, how could Zhou Shaoming's team have won the attention and praise of the world media!
The slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in Wakayama Prefecture in the Taiji area of Japan will not become a secret, even if the local Japanese media do not say a word about this matter, but it cannot stop the influence of all the well-known media this time.
CBA, one of the most influential radio stations in the United States, when making this movie, still interviewed Zhou Shaoming at the door of the police station and confidently said to everyone present: "The slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in the Taiji area is a real thing, and there is no suspicion of rumors, I will use my movie to show it to everyone." ”
"Looking forward to it, as soon as Smith Zhou's words came out, everyone began to look forward to the release of Zhou Shaoming's new film, and looked forward to making the extermination of Japanese fishermen public to the world."
Even the headlines of the local Asahi Shimbun in Japan began to report about the slaughter of dolphins by fishermen in the Taiji area! "Could it be that we Japanese people really have such cruel behavior, and we have to borrow foreigners' mouths to let everyone know? Where have our righteous forces gone? How has our righteous media power been blocked? A well-known director came to Japan with his team, and everyone saw their experience, and in the face of such a real thing, the local government still denied it. What will be the truth of this matter? When will Director Smith Chou make a reception to the eyes of the world and give an explanation to our kind Japanese! We are looking forward to this brave director who will not let us down! ”
praise, expectation, and eagerness to see Zhou Shaoming's new film, not how well Zhou Shaoming filmed, but the kind everyone coincidentally pays great attention to this matter! (To be continued......)
