Chapter 223 Big Banner Party

Shen Zhenghui couldn't have imagined that the old revolution understood his works from this perspective, of course, it can't be said to be wrong from this point of view, but for Shen Zhenghui, what supports the development of the film industry is obviously not the political purpose of exporting ideology, it cannot be used as a driving force, it can only be regarded as an incidental product. It's like the United States is awesome, and American movies are also awesome, and then the values implied in his movies are directly instilled in the poor country like brainwashing. If you think about it carefully, we used to come over like this, but the ideological foundation is relatively thick, the land area is relatively large, and the local development is uneven, so we have not been washed all at once. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, which washed us back then, all showed their decline after a few years, and finally made the masses on the mainland feel that it was nothing more than that, which made the guys who had been washed their heads and were unwilling to wash back feel that the sky was falling apart, so they continued to engage in floor washing activities on the Internet.

Therefore, this ideological output, in the capitalist world, is to see who has more money, and whoever has more money will be awesome, and everyone will drool at you and be interested in what you think. Poor ghosts, no one is interested, no matter what you think. In the future, China will become the second largest country in the world, and some people will say blindfolded that I can't see it, or some people will say that the happiness and security of the people are more important to GDP. Of course, some pragmatists have begun to look at why China has succeeded because of democratic centralism. Government efficiency? Or is it because they have the NDRC?

Therefore, the ideological work is a complex and simple one. Economically, you are at the pinnacle and do the work of exporting ideology to get twice the result with half the effort; If you are a poor ghost, no one will listen to you when you preach the superiority of socialism, and you will be habitually accused of lying when you occasionally tell the truth.

But the hard work also needs to be done.

The vast majority of directors in the film and television industry have experienced the ideological confusion of the 80s, and under the indulgence of some individual leaders with ulterior motives, they have cultivated a self-masochistic view of history, and the direct response of this historical view in the film industry is the current situation in the film industry - lack of commerciality, and the most commercial directors at present are not from the director's class, and now Shen Zhenghui has proved this even more. When independent directors shout for freedom of expression and artistic freedom, they artificially divide film into two relationships: freedom and system. So two groups of people and a group of people filmed the main theme in the flattery. A group of people shoot flattering movies. Some people have made a name for themselves with China's ugliness in the gringos, and they have become domestic film masters by the way.

In the area of commercial films, the mainland is congenitally underdeveloped.

But in fact, commercial movies have more brainwashing and propaganda effects than the main theme and flattering movies, Bruce Lee, Jack Cheng, and Jett Lee directly prove this. Now Shen Zhenghui has made a better example. Prove it to the leaders. The film that comes out of the commercial form is better.

Ideological work is China's key work, and it is also China's difficult work.

The USSR has fallen, as the largest nominally socialist state. How to maintain the ideology of socialism is a big problem. What is more realistic is that the attitude within the party on this issue is **, and there are many people waiting for a change of skin. Therefore, this work is an external struggle on the one hand, and an internal struggle on the other hand, and this is the difficult point.

It is impossible for the older generation not to have thought about this kind of problem, and from 1949 to the present, this kind of thinking has not stopped. But at a certain stage, this kind of thinking has a certain funny flavor, as if it has become a shameful thing to bring up in public. Wang Jiansheng was talking to Shen Zhenghui about this question at this moment, and it sounded a little funny to Shen Zhenghui.

However, Shen Zhenghui thinks about it like this: 1. Although I am a party member, I am not a member of the Central Committee, and neither is an alternate, is it appropriate for you to ask me this question? 2. Although I am a director, I am not a director in the system, and my relationship is not in places like Bayi Factory and China Film Group. From a class point of view, I myself am still a capitalist, and if you let a capitalist preach the ideology of socialism, no matter how you look at it, it smells of black humor. Or this means that the party's united front strategy has reached the point where there is no bottom line, if so, Shen Zhenghui can understand that the lower limit of the united front work department has always been relatively low.

So Shen Zhenghui blinked, "Grandpa Wang, I think, is this thing you are talking about, is it the wrong person?" "Actually, I didn't think about ideology at all, I made movies with commercial and blockbuster considerations." ”

"But you didn't make a movie that smeared our country, did you?" Wang Jiansheng said.

I have nothing to do, why should I smear my country, isn't this a slap in the face? Shen Zhenghui thought to himself, "This, I think about the biggest market, and I won't consider letting the film be mixed with too much politics." ”

"Isn't "Assembly" a political film?"

"It has the skin of politics, or rather, it has the skin of history." Shen Zhenghui said, "But in essence, it's an adventure story, I just truthfully reflect its background of the times, and I don't intend to shoot a political film," Shen Zhenghui felt that he was a little clumsy in lying, "Well, even if it's a main theme film, but in the end, it's its box office that evaluates its success or not!" ”

"That's good!" Wang Jiansheng said, "The films you make do not discredit China, have a main theme, and have a good box office, so you are the most suitable candidate." ”

"Uh," Shen Zhenghui smiled bitterly, "You said it was suitable, what do you want to do with me?" ”

"Make a movie." Wang Anping on the side said, she looked at her grandfather, and then at Shen Zhenghui, "It's been a year since your last film, don't you think about continuing to shoot a movie in China?" ”

"There are no good themes." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "I really don't have much hope that my movie will be released in the mainland." ”

"'The Assembly' is very good." Wang Jiansheng said.

"It's just a special case." Shen Zhenghui replied, "You may not know most of my movies, Sister An Ping knows better, with a certain bad taste, I am worried that it will not pass the censorship at all, "Assembly" from the intention of shooting, I have never made a war movie, I just want to play with guns and explosives. Shen Zhenghui's self-deprecation obviously couldn't make Wang Jiansheng dispel his thoughts.

"You can do it, you have this talent." Wang Jiansheng said, "You like to spend your talent in places like Japan? His tone was visibly dissatisfied.

Shen Zhenghui set his eyes on Wang Anping for help. Wang Anping gave a helpless expression.

"I've seen your proposal. I obviously have a lot of ideas about domestic movies, how can I use this reason to prevaricate? Wang Jiansheng said unhappily.

Shen Zhenghui didn't speak, each of my movies has a box office of billions in Japan, and you let me go back to China to make a film. It is also specified that the main theme film will be filmed. What should I do if I can't put it when I shoot it?

Seeing that Shen Zhenghui didn't speak, Wang Jiansheng stood up. Walked away on his own.

Shen Zhenghui winked at Wang Anping, "Does he go to the toilet at an old age?" ”

Wang Anping pursed her lips, "You are also so inkblot when you make a film." ”

"Is this a film problem?" Shen Zhenghui licked his lips with a sad and angry expression.

"Alright. There are a lot of things that my grandfather can't say, so I'll send you back, right? ”

"Ah, that's it." Shen Zhenghui stood up.

"What, do you still want to have dinner?"

"Speaking of which, I really haven't eaten yet!"

"Okay, I'll invite you, the Sichuan restaurant you frequent."

"Just the two of us?"

"Just talking to you." Wang Anping's response gave Shen Zhenghui an illusion.

"I'm really embarrassed, why don't I invite you?"

……

There was a driver on this trip, and a strong young man orderly drove for Shen Zhenghui and Wang Anping, and the two of them sat in the back of the car, silent. Shen Zhenghui was thinking about what Wang Jiansheng said just now, Wang Anping didn't know what he was thinking, but looking at the smile on his face, he didn't seem to be worried about Shen Zhenghui, or Shen Zhenghui had fallen into her trap.

The Sichuan restaurant is still the same, Wang Anping's arrival made the manager nod and greet him, and then served the food according to her instructions, and removed the waiter so that she could talk to Shen Zhenghui. Shen Zhenghui looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but say, "It's too wasteful, just order a few dishes." ”

"Okay, pretending to be hypocritical." Wang Anping picked up the chopsticks, "Eat." ”

Although Shen Zhenghui's stomach was already hungry, it was inevitable that he would be a little unpleasant to eat at this time, "Sister Ping, what does your grandfather mean?" He asked, "Why do I think he doesn't need to worry about these things at all, why is he still so worried?" ”

"Don't need him to worry about it?" Wang Anping glanced at Shen Zhenghui with a smile, "Who said that?" ”

"Is he the vice chairman of the Military Commission, or is he retired, do you say?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"That's why I'm looking for you!" Wang Anping said lightly, "If you don't retire, just find someone from Bayi Factory or China Film Group." ”

"Huh?" Shen Zhenghui tilted his head.

"Old comrades can't speak out? Retired old comrades can't interfere in the political situation? Wang Anping pouted, "You are really toosimple!" No wonder I can only be a director, but fortunately I didn't take the civil service exam at the beginning. ”

Shen Zhenghui pressed his temples hard, "What do you mean...... No, your grandfather told me to come back to China! ”

"If you don't ask for a price, how can you pay it back?" Wang Anping looked disdainful, "In fact, it's just a movie." ”

"Ideological output!" Shen Zhenghui said bitterly, "It still needs to conform to the main theme of your grandfather's thoughts, how can you do it?" ”

"Isn't that what Assembly has done?" Wang Anping said.

"This is a special case." Shen Zhenghui emphasized seriously, "If you look at what my movies were like before, I can't guarantee that every movie is ......"

"You're so stupid!" Wang Anping sighed, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Shen Zhenghui's eyes seriously, which made Shen Zhenghui a little nervous, "The key is ideology, not output." ”

"Huh?"

"You want to export, and if the Americans don't give you a chance, you can only stare dryly." Wang Anping explained, "So in fact, this film must be internal." ”

"Internally?"

"The reason why my grandfather kept saying "Assembly Number" is to emphasize the contribution of the older generation of revolutionary martyrs to the country."

"Older generation?" Shen Zhenghui felt that he had caught something.

"I'm already retired!" (To be continued......)

PS: I'm out on a business trip today and tomorrow, and I've drunk too much wine today, and the code word is like constipation.

It is estimated that it will not be updated tomorrow, so forgive me.
