State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

Deputy Director Gou Yuancai was so busy sitting in the office that every time at this time, as the Lunar New Year stalls were about to begin, the atmosphere of the three major ministries became tense.

"Dididi" phone rang. He picked it up impatiently, and asked as many questions as he could, but immediately roared even more irritably.

"Do you need to ask me?! How many times have you reviewed it! This kind of film must be taken back and changed! But that's all! It must conform to the central government's positive image propaganda of the PLA! ”

"Yes...... But ......," the voice on the other end of the phone whispered.

"No, but!" Deputy Director Gou said, "I'm so busy with my own affairs, and I still call me to ask me if I can't pass the first round of films?!" What do you do! Sitting in this position for too long and not getting used to it? ”

The person on the other side of the phone was suddenly frightened, and the stammering voice immediately slipped out, "Deputy Director, this is Lin Xiao's film!" ”

"It doesn't matter whose film! …… Wait a minute......" Deputy Director Gou felt that his mouth was bitter, and he was too full of words in his busyness.

If there are three directors in China who need him to see them in person, then one of them must be Zhang Yimou, the other Chen Kaige, and the third is Lin Xiao.

"This kid has only directed two films, and he actually needs me to see it myself!" He thought indignantly.

The film of the honorary ambassador, he can't help but check it personally, which is about the face of a country.

"Send it to me!" After a while, he held his breath and said, he scolded the person on the other side of the phone half to death in his heart, can't you finish it in one go? Play me am, right?

The copy of the film was quickly delivered, and he looked at the film and his heart beat a drum in his heart.

The phone call from the preliminary review team just now specifically told him that if this film is reviewed by the current Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, it will definitely not pass the test. This gave him a big problem, and he couldn't help but take it.

If you fail the preliminary examination, it represents a mistake in the "fundamental direction", it no longer matters whether it is good or not, Chinese films, first of all, are political needs, just like cartoons, there are no youth cartoons in China, only children's cartoons, this is the problem of political needs.

In a harmonious society, harmony is precious, what should we do if we are violent? What to do if it's bloody? What should I do if I teach bad teenagers?

Therefore, it is better to study with peace of mind.

"I'll leave it to me...... Surely it won't be able to pass......" He looked at the pile of copies in front of him with a headache, and was annoyed for a long time before he sighed, called the staff, and moved into the screening room.

Two hours later, he came out with an unusually complicated face.

Subsequently, everyone in the whole country saw Deputy Director Gou making a cup of tea in a daze and sitting at the desk for more than half an hour!

The tea was cold, and a sip was not moved.

His hands were on the table, wringing back and forth, and his brows were wrinkled into a conspicuous Sichuan character.

"Dididi!" The phone rang again suddenly, and it was only then that he was awakened from his musings.

"Deputy Gou." A majestic voice came from the other side of the phone, "It's about to be the New Year, the pressure on the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is not ordinary, you have to be strict, and you are staring at us during this period." ”

Strict control? Deputy Director Gou's gaze fell on the form in front of him.

The top seven layers are all ticked, and the third layer is crossed, but on the line "Dawn: Assembly", he picked up the pen several times, but he never got the pen down.

With a wry smile, he said, "Director, there is a film that needs to be strictly controlled. ”

"What film?" The director was slightly stunned, "You can't decide?" ”

"I can't decide." Deputy Director Gou smiled bitterly, "This is a ...... It's hard to explain...... I suggest that all the reviewers watch it together......"

"Is this necessary?" The director was even more puzzled, "I'm afraid there aren't many films that need to be decided together, right?" ”

"This is Lin Xiao's film." Deputy Director Gou continued.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and he immediately said, "Five o'clock...... No, half an hour later, all the reviewers gathered in the viewing hall. ”

Half an hour later, all the reviewers sat down in the viewing hall, and everyone had strange questions, what kind of film did the deputy director can't decide?

There was no time to bother them, and soon, a red sun rose from the horizon on the big screen, which was the familiar picture of dawn.

"Lin Xiao's film." Immediately, everyone knew it.

"How could it be Lin Xiao's film?" A jurifier in his thirties frowned and said, "He is now the country's first honorary ambassador, so he probably won't shoot anything that contradicts the policy, right?" Isn't this looking for your own death? ”

"If not, how can the two bosses not be able to make up their minds?"

With all kinds of doubts, they looked on.

At the beginning of the film, the lines were skipped, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but, in less than ten minutes, they immediately knew that something was wrong.

"Bloody, violent, not enough beautification of our army, too beautification of the national army." A senior auditor frowned slightly and looked at Deputy Director Gou's seat: "Obviously, you can't pass!" This battle scene is too real to mislead teenagers. Did Deputy Director Gou feel embarrassed to say it, so he asked everyone to take on this responsibility together? ”

But ten minutes later, when the first victim appeared, everyone was silent.

The scene was drenched in blood, and half of his body was gone, which can be said to be unbelievable on the relatively "gentle" Chinese big screen!

They can accept a white knife like Zhang Yimou in and a red knife out, but they must not let such an "intuitive gore" pass.

Almost without thinking, someone immediately shouted, "No! This film needs to be cut! This kind of footage is definitely not allowed to be released! ”

"Yes! Isn't this a smear for the PLA! China has never had this kind of film and television! Must be cut! Cut it now! ”

"Look on!" Deputy Director Gou's voice sounded in the dark theater, and he forcibly suppressed these criticisms.

The director who was sitting next to Deputy Director Gou glanced at him in surprise, and in exchange for Deputy Director Gou's wry smile, "Let's look at it...... Seat ...... I have a sense of proportion, and I know what films can and can't pass...... But this film ...... It really stumped me......"

"What the hell is the deputy bureau thinking?! You can't let go of this shot at the beginning! One of the reviewers said dissatisfiedly, "This has touched the outline!" ”

The film continues to show.

Bullets rained down, bombs flew everywhere, and the People's Liberation Army and the Kuomintang were killed in battle.

"Pick up the gun!"

"Pick up the gun! No surrender! The artist on the screen shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Could it be ......" An idea suddenly popped up for everyone present.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out and reverberated through the room, and everyone shuddered involuntarily.

Kill the captives!

Red Film and Television actually appeared to kill prisoners!

This is definitely the first movie that dares to be made like this since the founding of the People's Republic of China! The first film and television person who dares to play like this!

Everyone looked at each other.

The light was 100% cut at this picture, but this picture caused an unexpected impact.

The tragedy of the tragedy!

As senior auditors, they immediately understood what Lin Xiao wanted to express. What should have been said immediately, for the first time, someone got stuck in the throat.

"What else do you guys think?" Deputy Director Gou's voice sounded faintly.

"It's nothing, don't let it go!" An auditor with gray hair said calmly, "The shot is very good, but let's not forget what the work of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is, haven't we cut the Titanic?" Blood, nudity, violence, passion, instigation, these are iron programs that cannot be tolerated. ”

"Actually......" The person next to him hesitated for a moment and said, "This picture can be considered, is this also an alternative manifestation of comradeship......

Unexpectedly, there was a slight divergence of opinions.

Deputy Director Gou gave an inexplicable "um" and did not nod immediately.

The movie was shown minute by minute, and when it came to the scene where the instructor was afraid of the battle, even the director frowned slightly.

"It's a bit too much." He said lightly: "This does not match the impression of the 'established PLA'." ”

Deputy Director Gou nodded and said softly, "But, Bureau, don't you think, is this very true?" And the theme of this film is not to abandon, not to give up. At first glance, it may not be in line with the program, but it highlights the program all the time. ”

"I know." The director also frowned slightly, and said in a hesitant tone, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have watched it for so long." ”

The mentality is changing little by little in the real picture, and the voice of the person who speaks is becoming less and smaller.

The flesh-and-blood pictures did not bear any resemblance to previous war films, but they made them feel heavy in their hearts.

Especially the scene of killing the prisoner just now, it seems to be mixed into the plot behind, and the tragic and tragic atmosphere even echoes in every sentence.

The first time they watched it was not a one-to-ten movie, what they felt was not freshness, but the cruelty of war and the truth of history.

"Bring the living and the dead to the kiln." "Forget it if it's dead, right?" "Put it on all fours in the snow, beware of the bomb that will shatter, and if it breaks, it won't be able to pinch it together."

"When I die, I'll give my province a bandage and keep it for those who can move."

On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, the song of blood and fire echoed.

Every similar sentence made their hearts jump inexplicably, and the nameless heroism, even if it was under review, made them feel heavy.

"It's not supposed to happen......" someone muttered in a low voice, "it's too true......"

The people next to him heard it, but no one answered him.

Their voices have gone from being firmly cut down at the beginning to mumbling now.

Every brother in the Ninth Company silently infected their hearts.

The advancement of one shot after another makes them feel that although this film touches something, it also retains something.

Moreover, among the things that touched, included their hearts.

Several female judges have pinched their hands from time to time, and the heavy atmosphere makes their mood slowly taste the tragedy.

Every shot, every person falls, is so cruel, it really makes them hesitate knowing that this contradicts their work.

They suddenly understood what Deputy Director Gou meant.
