Chapter 65 "The Round Table Party" (4/5)

(There are recommendations tomorrow, so I will try to make a big splash!!)

Director Lu is now more and more able to speak.

‘I disagree with you, but I swear to defend your right to speak!’

Translated into Chinese: Gentlemen are harmonious but different!

Of course, Lu Xiaoran is definitely not such a person. The "you" in the sentence does not mean anyone. He should first be a person who can be responsible for his own behavior.

Only rights but no responsibility are not legitimate rights. Enjoying freedom without restrictions will eventually lead to loss of freedom...

Free speech has the right to express one's own opinions, but you must be responsible for what you say, have rights and obligations.

This is the correct solution!

...

"First of all, the domestic protection month we talk about is of course there is this factor, but it is not your "Wolf Warrior 2" one. Other domestic films are also protected. Wolf Warrior 2 crushes other domestic films for a month, so this cannot be explained by simple hype or naval army. After all, everyone is hype, and... Wu Jing has a naval army, is this thing that is so stupid?"

"It's still quality, and it also reflects a truth: the narrative of the great era and the films with patriotism have many flaws, and are still very attractive in the current Chinese market."

Dou Wentao: "Then why didn't you take photos before?"

Lu Xiaoran hesitated for a moment and said: "At present, the Chinese film and television industry is the will of capital and capital tycoons that determine the market and resource allocation, which greatly affects the aesthetics, values ​​and even political orientation of the general public, especially young people."

"In the past two years, capital has been widely launched, with its corruption and basic film and television works, with young and fresh meat as the selling point, detracting from the national spirit, raising the West, especially the United States and white races as the core, and gaining recognition from the West as the goal, highlighting vulgar and green vulgar tastes. I thought that in this way, I could grasp the tastes of the post-80s and post-90s. In fact, it is often just the capitalist's own vulgar uncle and the mentality of fascinating foreign slaves. "

"In a sense, what the Chinese market really needs, what the general public likes, and what capital does not like."

"They think that patriotism has no market, so many patriotism-themed films were suppressed in the early stages of their release..."

"In a sense, "Martian Rescue" and "Wolf Warrior 2" tell these people that the audience loves to watch films and TV works that fully promote the nation, national pride, and fit the themes of China's rise and national rejuvenation."

"In 2014, I attended a symposium on the literary and art circles. The leader has two words. I still remember it deeply. 'Art must step on the solid earth' and 'take patriotism as the main theme of literary and artistic creation'. Literature and art are the light of the national spirit, and it always inadvertently expresses the state of national spirit. It is not difficult to imagine what impact this blind Westernization, spoof history, and subvert classics will have on the patriotic belief, backbone and confidence of the Chinese people. From that day on, I think promoting the main theme and spreading positive energy is our next creation task!"

OK, "Wolf Warrior 2" is over...

Liang Wendao raised a topic: "In fact, we are not free in creation, the United States..."

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "I have something to say!"

"In our creation, whether it is music, movies, TV, or paintings, many people, including filmmakers, TV people, and lyricists, are deliberately provoking them."

"I think they want to raise a topic, but the expression of art is not like this. Say whatever you can say, and don't deliberately provoke if you can't say it."

"You have to respect boundaries. We have so many good stories and subjects. Why do we have to deliberately and pay attention to filming some so-called reactionary things on purpose?"

"I think this is not an artist, but an intentional provocation! I hate this kind of people who claim to be unique and create a sober artist's attitude!"

Lu Xiaoran took a sip of tea and continued: "The United States you just mentioned...the United States actually has many restrictions, especially after political correctness in recent years, they are really restricted, especially commercial films with large investments."

"If Hollywood blockbusters want to enter the Chinese market, they must evade our censorship. This is called mutual respect..."

Dou and Liang both looked quiet and focused. After hearing him stop after saying this, Liang Wendao nodded and said, "The limitation of freedom, right?"

"Overall, we will be able to relax our standards, right? I believe that waiting for a few years, the hierarchy system may be introduced!"

...

"Where did the movie "Wushuang" come from?"

Lu Xiaoran did not give a positive answer, but asked back: "...What type of movie did I start with?"

"Border Storm...Crime Type Film?"

"Yes, I have a special liking for crime subjects!"

Lu Xiaoran smiled and said, "The specific source should be a case of printing fake US dollar bills I saw when collecting data. The criminal was still printing it when he was arrested. He used this method to escape the fear of being arrested in reality!"

"This is a very unreasonable but very real counterfeit money situation. It is this state that attracts me. I really want to know the psychological activities of these criminals, then checked a lot of information, and then started writing stories with this as the entry point."

Dou Wentao: "There are many people on the Internet who say they are copying "The Very Suspect"..."

"There is really no such thing. There are only 36 stories written in modern screenwriters. Even if many techniques are added together and created, they still cannot create a so-called new way of writing."

"The core and temperament expressed in the two movies are also completely different, so the audience no longer has to compare the two."

"The Wushuang expresses at least four meanings: the story of the counterfeit banknote group is enjoyable, this is a crime movie. Li Wen loves Ruan Wen but cannot, and the emotional entanglement between Xiuqing and Li Wen, this is a love movie. Li Wen's fictional plot teasing the police and escapes make people realize that this is a suspense movie. But above these three levels, it is an ethical movie that explores human nature and life - the story about Li Wen himself."

"I originally wanted to make a complete story, but later I discussed it with Zhuang Wenqiang and thought that I could set up another layer of suspense and introduce "Wu Shuang Prequel" to be released next year's National Day!"

"Pre-Cross?"

"Well, it's a pity that this story was abandoned like this. It's quite useful to dig deeper!"

Liang Wendao: "I'm very curious. Is it just a big director like you who cares about movies or awards?"

"I've watched the type. If it's a commercial film, I will definitely care more about the box office!"

"I see that your movies have high box office, so do you position yourself as a commercial director or an author director?"

“Business movie…”

The first episode of "Round Table" was 45 minutes. Lu Xiaoran chatted for nearly two hours, talked about many topics, and happily recorded the program.

The middle topic about ‘certain capital’ should be deleted…
Chapter completed!
