Chapter 126: Berlin Propaganda War

Early the next morning, the refreshed grandson Ming and the delicate Juanzi packed up their things and went to their mother-in-law's house. The big-bellied sister-in-law who was walking in the yard and the third sister-in-law with a slightly bulging belly made Juanzi's eyes hot.

"Don't be red-eyed, do you want to go on stage for two or three years? It's better to wait until you're tired and want to take a break for a few years, and then think about it! ”

Sun Ziming turned her little head around, this matter can't make the girl have a knot, she usually takes medicine by herself, but she doesn't want her to think more about this!

"Hmm."

The two got into the eldest brother's Peking jeep, which was really inferior. But in this mountain, this car doesn't lie down no matter how it runs.

Juanzi waited for the car to drive out of the yard, and was a little worried again.

"Ziming, if you take that medicine often, it will have an effect on your body, right?"

"There's a fart effect, when the time comes, I want to give birth, just stop for a while!"

Now Juanzi is relieved, just as Sun Ziming trusts her, she also trusts Sun Ziming unconditionally, which is also a habit when she was a child.

Eating pig-killing rice in the countryside is a model, killing pigs, worshipping ancestors, and eating a big meal, this whole process is already declining. At night, Juanzi drilled into her sister-in-law's room and didn't come out, and Sun Ziming accompanied her parents-in-law to chat in the stove room. After chatting for a long time, Sun Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, this girl also knew that the ugliness of the Taoist family should not be publicized, and she didn't tell Jiaming about it to her family, otherwise she would definitely be beaten up at night.

Yes, Juanzi didn't tell her parents and brother about it, but she told her sister-in-law, and now the two of them are talking about it in the room.

"Sister-in-law, you still say that I went too far, didn't you just block that little red door?"

"Silly boy, your eldest brother is different from Ziming, your eldest brother is a person who keeps his business at home, and he is purely a loser. If he can hook up without spending money, I will scold him at most so that I won't be so angry! Ziming is a person who breaks into the world outside and makes a lot of money, do you really let him have little money on him? He wants to give a gift, and he has to ask you for it? ”

Juanzi thinks about it, he really can't manage the money too much, he has to leave a few million in the card, and he can't let him play mahjong and he can only lose enough three thousand to get off the table, right? The level of his communication is different from his own, Sister Mei gave her hundreds of thousands of meeting gifts, and Rong Shao gave him more than 800,000 sports cars, but his current level is not more than a million?

"Sister-in-law, next time we go to Hong Kong to play, they gave us a villa. You don't know how beautiful the road is, it's just too lonely. ”

"Okay, when Mom and Dad finish repairing the ancestral grave, we will go to live as a family for a while."

……

New Year's Day, visiting relatives, inviting New Year's dinner, this set of procedures is not over, Sun Ziming must leave, and Berlin can no longer be delayed. Bidding farewell to his relatives, Sun Ziming rushed to the Berlin airport, and it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening.

"How's it going?"

Wang Jing and the others were a bit of a mixed bag, as soon as they arrived in Berlin, they hired a professional public relations company to promote the film, and introduced the film to the suffering caused by colonial rule. It has now caused a sensation, especially the indictment of colonial rule, which has won the sympathy and condemnation of the German people.

However, everything is afraid of this, but, the mainland's "Red Sorghum" was born, which divided the judges and fans into two distinct factions.

"Now our best film competitors are: "Red Sorghum", "Sharing Joys and Sorrows", and "Moonlight is Sultry", and it is estimated that the winner will be between us and "Red Sorghum". Best Director, Screenwriter, and Actor were also nominated, and the screenwriter and actor were the most promising. ”

Hearing that he was competing with "Red Sorghum", Sun Ziming's heart was also up and down. That is a truly outstanding movie, and it is by no means comparable to "Hero" and "Golden Armor" after the old Mouzi Jiang Lang exhausted his talents.

"Yes, I also watched "Red Sorghum", where the use of film language and the praise of life are indeed deeply moving!"

When it comes to this great work in Chinese movies, Wang Jing and Chen Jiashang are also silent, and their own "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" is said to be a big hit, but in fact, it is to put gold on their faces. The two movies are indeed not as good as others, especially in terms of the use of color and ideological connotation, which is more than half a point behind.

"Brother Jing, Jia Shang, cheer me up, I have confidence that I will not necessarily win, but if I don't have confidence, I will definitely lose!"

Sun Tzu also knew that Lu Dao wanted to compete with "Red Sorghum" for the best film, and it was estimated that there was no drama, but it was difficult to say other awards. Some things need to be operated and marketed, and "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" has been modified by himself and Liu Weiqiang, and it is no longer a tertiary film, but a film with strong political overtones, which is very in line with the current social trend of freedom and reflection!

Looking through the list of judges, Sun Ziming had another idea, there are two French judges in it. This film is filmed in Macau, but it alludes to the incompetence of the British in Hong Kong at that time. Although the Germans and the French fought to the death in two world wars, they jointly looked down on the British. Maybe the German judges and the two French judges invited will subconsciously help themselves.

Taking a step back, what if you can't compete for "Red Sorghum"? I, a commercial director whose goal is to make money, can't compete for a literary film director with the goal of winning an award in the award, which is a fair thing!

"Ziming, a PR company? Mr. William has already said that it is up to you to win the competition now in your interview tomorrow. As long as the jury believes that we are filming the suffering history of Hong Kong and Macao, we still have hope! ”

"In order to win the prize, Lao Tzu fought hard!"

Sun Ziming cheered everyone up, while remembering the information brought by Wang Jing and them. Due to the appeasement policy of the British government in Hong Kong and the lack of attention to Hong Kong, the market was in turmoil when Hong Kong fell, resulting in a huge gap in food supply.

In order to solve the problem of food shortage in Hong Kong, the Japanese army on the one hand implemented the policy of 'forcibly repatriating Hong Kong citizens to their hometowns' to reduce the population of Hong Kong; on the other hand, they implemented a grain rationing system, which sold grain according to rations, and the main food including rice, oil, flour, salt, sugar, and so on.

As a result, the tragedy of cannibalism happened, which is also the reason why Sun Ziming helped Wang Jing and them revise the script, which caused them to be shocked, because they didn't know anything about these things. Later, they went to ask the old man, and then they learned that this was true.

Early the next morning, Mr. Wilhelm's media such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Illustrated Star, and the German Television Agency (ARD) came to the hotel for interviews. For these media, being able to interview a talented composer, director, screenwriter, and business elite under the age of 21 is also a very newsworthy interview in itself, which is why William was able to successfully invite so many authoritative media.

"I'm not a genius, I'm just a little bit more suffering than my peers and a little luckier than my peers. People who have experienced hardship have many ideas. When I was studying in Peking University, I met my current general manager, Mr. Zeng Xiang, and with his help, I achieved a small business miracle! ”

……

"It's not bad, I set a new box office record for Hong Kong films, and the music I wrote also set a new sales record for Hong Kong records. This is all thanks to the solidarity and cooperation of my colleagues, which I would not have been able to do alone. ”

……

"No, Mr. Wu Yijiang's performance and accusations in prison are true! When Hong Kong fell in 1941, these things really happened. This is the newspaper of the time, you can ask a translator to translate it for you, or you can ask your reporter in Hong Kong to interview the survivors of that year. We made this film, in addition to opposing colonial rule, it was also to expose the harm of war to civilians and humanity! ”

The more reporters interviewed, the heavier their hearts became, although the German Nazis committed heinous crimes, they still did not let the tragedy of cannibalism happen in Europe. (In modern European history, the only massacre of large-scale cannibalism was caused by the great Soviet Union.) The great revolutionary mentors, Comrade Lenin and Comrade Stalin, forced the peasants to hand over grain in the territory of the Soviet Union, causing a large number of cannibalism in Ukraine and other places. This is also one of the main reasons why after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the two mentors completely defeated the people. )

At the end of the one-and-a-half-hour interview, the reporters returned to the newspaper office and television station, and their press release caused an uproar. The rigor and seriousness of the Germans are perfectly reflected in the editors-in-chief, and the press release is not issued, and it is verified first. Several major media outlets have informed reporters stationed in Hong Kong to conduct interviews immediately, or to immediately send reporters to Hong Kong for interviews.

On the third day, what shocked all Germans and Europeans happened, and media outlets such as the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Illustrated Star, and the German Television Agency (ARD) reported on the tragedy of cannibalism more than 40 years ago in Hong Kong with front-page headlines.

'Heavy Reflections on a Gifted Boy'

—Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

'The sins of the English gentleman and the Japanese gentleman'

- Süddeutsche Zeitung.

……

Looking at the overwhelming reports in the news media, Sun Ziming smiled bitterly and hid in the hotel without going out. This propaganda and marketing battle was won by itself, skillfully exploiting the contradictions between Britain, Germany, and France, and the price paid was likely to be the dissatisfaction of the British government in Hong Kong, as well as the loss of freedom in daily life.

What you can do, you have done it yourself, and the rest depends on how the judges vote. The stubbornness of the Germans and the romance of the French are well known, and only God knows how they will be!

"Ziming, what do you read in the newspaper? This time we won, this William is really capable! He kept telling us not to reveal the truth, and it was really amazing to come to this at a critical time! ”

Wang Jingxi smiled, asked the accompanying translator to read the newspaper to him every day, and almost every day he would say that the 300,000 marks were not unjustly spent.

"Brother Jing, don't watch it, I bet that the best film is "Red Sorghum", and we are at most striving for screenwriting, international critics' awards, special jury awards, and the like."

Wang Jing threw down the exquisite coffee cup and pounced, his eyes widening wider than a bull's eye.

"For what?"

"The stubbornness of the Germans is world-famous, the romance of the French is not bad, and it is not the fans or the general public who vote, but their seven judges! Our films are indeed worse than others in terms of ideological connotation, and now let's see if we can make some benefits in overseas distribution and Asian box office! ”

In the past half month, Wang Jing has also experienced the stubbornness of the Germans. Even if they are asked to move the furniture in the guest room, they will argue with you on the grounds of tradition, practicality, etc., which shows the character of the German nation!

Wang Jing was depressed for a while, and sighed, "Hey, forget it." Let's make more money and make it more affordable, and those who break the award will be given to those directors who don't make money! ”

This is wrong again, "Red Sorghum" will create a box office miracle of 40 million yuan in China, this is an era when the ticket price is only a few cents!
