Chapter 72: May You Change the World with Movies
When Wang Wei complained about the meaninglessness of bad movies in his previous life, he was often refuted by a sentence: Watching movies is just for fun, and it is difficult to change the world with a movie.
Most of the time, this statement is true.
However, at some point, a movie can not only be entertaining, but it will also really change the public's consciousness, which in turn will have more unintended consequences.
Wang Wei just didn't expect that such a film would be "Genius Gunman".
The high popularity of "Genius Gunman" has put a huge pressure on some units.
After watching the movie, many viewers stared at the investigation of the real-life version of the transnational cheating incident, as if they were looking forward to the follow-up of the movie.
Therefore, only on the tenth day of the movie's release, the transnational cheating incident of the Pan Asian High School League has been dealt with-
The management of Chuntian Education and Training, who organized cheating, and the examiners who were bribed, were directly punished;
All students who participate in cheating will have their competition results and extra points obtained in the college entrance examination cancelled and recorded in their personal files;
The league process and the content of the exam have been completely reformed......
Many fans are discussing, what will be the ending after the heroine of "Genius Gunman" turns herself in, is it that the rich children are unscathed, and all the costs are borne by the heroine?
Now there is an answer -
In reality, it is impossible for anyone involved to escape!
In the Pan Asian High School Student League, students who are qualified to pay high "training fees" to participate in transnational cheating have extraordinary family backgrounds. But no one escapes punishment, and the first batch to enter the university faces the situation of being expelled from school.
And the consequence of being recorded in the file is that there are many fewer choices in life - just going to university, many prestigious universities in the country will close their doors to them.
Even if they choose to study abroad, the black dots on their files will narrow their options and increase the cost they pay.
Someone asked if this was a serious problem?
Without waiting for the official statement, the others went back - at least they had other options. Think about the poor children who were squeezed down by them through cheating, just because of such a deviation, there was not even any other choice, and the fate was completely different.
There is also a youth innovation competition of "parents doing it for you" and a middle school student competition of "finding someone to take the test", although it is still under investigation, but the handling principles have also come out.
It's still the same sentence - including parents, judges, etc., all those involved must be strictly investigated!
And that's just the surface.
In view of the endless cheating in both movies and reality, which is to add points, reforming the bonus system has become a consensus at the social level - mainly to cancel most of the bonus point regulations.
This is domestic.
Overseas, the thunderstorm of "cheating incidents" caused by "Genius Gunman" not only sounded the alarm for the people of the host country, but also showed that many fraudulent behaviors have transnational characteristics.
As a result, the Asian League began to discuss the possibility of jointly cracking down on all kinds of academic and examination malpractices through international cooperation, and jointly rectifying the accumulated malpractices in education......
Such a series of announcements is shocking!
This means that education reform has begun.
Their introduction is not accidental!
It should be said that with the improvement of the antagonistic relationship between the two camps of the Cold War, globalization has entered a new stage, and the old education system is no longer very suitable for the requirements of talent training in the new era.
In fact, reform has been in the making for a long time.
What is certain is that this is only the first step, and there will inevitably be more in-depth comprehensive reforms in the future.
But there is no doubt that "Genius Gunman" played a role in building consensus and moving the process forward.
- Well, that's the official words.
……
And what is Wang Wei, who filmed "Genius Gunman", doing?
He chose a person to read the letter in a quiet office.
This series of changes in events was also shocking to him.
First of all, the media's interpretation of the frequent thunderstorms of cheating incidents made Wang Wei's jaw drop.
Actually attributed to the "fine tradition" of Dunhuang?
God's special tradition!
If I hadn't added a buff, I'd almost believe it!
In addition, the promotion of education reform made him even more numb.
It wasn't until he watched all the announcements and pondered for a long time that Wang Wei understood that this movie actually happened to catch up with such a trend, and then had an impact that he couldn't have imagined.
At least, after watching the movie, the public's general antipathy for extra points has greatly accelerated the reform of the bonus point system.
Wang Wei clearly knew that he had only played a small and insignificant role in it.
However, in the eyes of many people, it was his films that changed the world.
For example, a letter in your hand.
It's still a letter from a student.
The student was one of the first beneficiaries of Dunhuang's free screening of "The Genius Gunman" in a remote county town.
As soon as this kid came up, he pulled the relationship-
“…… Knowing that the director is a few years older than me, you are considered the same age, so I will call you Brother Wang Wei. ”
Then he expressed his deep hatred for the cheater in the letter -
"When we have been burying our heads in the boundless sea of questions for more than ten years, we can only insist on it silently in our hearts, and then insist on it, just to be able to score a few more points.
And if someone just pays money, they can offset all our efforts and efforts by cheating, and maybe they will turn around and mock us for working so hard?
Just thinking about it, I feel like I'm going to explode.
So the heroine in "Genius Gunman", I didn't like it very much at first, her help to cheat is actually hurting the silent efforts of ordinary students like us.
Fortunately, she finally came to her senses, otherwise I would definitely scold your eldest brother......"
Wang Wei smiled and continued to look.
And then there's his approval of lifting his hands and feet for the abolition of most of the bonus rules—
"The college entrance examination is a point of life and death.
In this almost cruel competition, some people get extra points through various means, which is like putting on a piece of armor; But we have to fight on our own for every point, which is equivalent to being shirtless;
And then the two sides are battling it out in a hail of bullets, do you know how hard it is for us to win?
We are not afraid of competition, but we want to compete on as fair terms as possible......"
Wang Wei nodded slightly.
Then I saw him write—
"When we read in the newspaper that "Genius Gunman" promoted the reform of the bonus point system, big brother may not know how much we appreciate what you have done! It may be just a few points, but it is an opportunity for us to change our destiny......"
"As a poor penniless student, I don't have any gifts for you. I can only wish Brother Wang Wei to become the greatest director as soon as possible in the letter, and I hope you will continue to change the world with movies......"
Wang Wei was silent for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "This kid, I really dare to think!" ”
"Don't talk about changing the world, if I can't change myself by the world, it's all my toughness, and it's useless to call my big brother."
"Young people, it's still too simple to think of the world."
Wang Wei complained while slowly smoothing the letter paper and pressing it under the first drawer of his desk.
"Forget it, call me big brother, and accept your blessing."
