To be honest, there is no leader who doesn’t like inspections.
One is as a means of serving your subordinates. A role model once said, "Treat your comrades as warm as spring... treat your enemies as cruel and ruthless as the harsh winter!"
Therefore, Han Sanping and Fang Yi often show his spring-like warm side, looking like a full-fledged Maitreya Buddha with a very good temper.
But at the Golden Rooster Awards one year, Han Sanping was sitting in the front row. At that time, almost all the award-winning filmmakers passed by him. Instead of thanking heaven and earth, they shouted "Thank you, Mr. San!" first. You knew he must have something.
He has a cold and ruthless side, and he must have struck hard at those filmmakers who have no talent, no background, and still make trouble.
Secondly, Han Sanping had been a director before, so when he came across something new in the film industry, he was really willing to learn about it.
Director Han also has romantic feelings.
As the real emperor of domestic films in the first ten years of the new century, Han Sanping was rumored to have received money but did not do anything. Hollywood petitions were filed with the WTO. He took the blame and resigned. Now that he is retiring, he did not go on tour to earn 40,000 points, but did not
Why are you moving around? It's quite low-key, waiting for a safe landing.
This time, we came to Fang Yi's recording studio with great fanfare and even gave advance notice, which is really strange.
If he is my companion, I don't know what kind of person I have to be to ask him to accompany me.
Fang Yi didn't think about it anymore. He even filmed a scene before the inspection team came. The summary of the content was that the volunteers defeated the American and Korean troops and found the so-called (Korean) White Tiger Regiment flag in the barracks. Soon after, in this barracks,
Outside, his own red flag was raised.
Why the red flag and not the national flag?
Because there was a bug, the Volunteer Army wanted to support the legitimate cause of the Korean people, and it was a personal act. Therefore, the five-star red flag was not uniformly used at that time, and it was decided to use the red flag to represent the passionate momentum of the Volunteer Army.
In the picture, a red flag with no stars and a slightly stained edge was raised. The cold wind on the ice field made it tremble and tremble until it completely stopped at the head of the pole.
Everyone stared at the flag for a while.
This reaction was so natural that everyone, both inside and outside the show, couldn't help but look at it.
Director Fang read this paragraph back and forth several times, choosing a suspended perspective, as if the souls of the sacrificed people were also around here, quietly looking at the victory flag - if there really is such a thing as a soul.
Guo Fan rubbed his red eyes: "This is so sensational. In my imagination, only the scene where the bones are transported five thousand miles back to the present day at the end of the movie can be even more comparable."
Fang Yi didn't say anything and snorted slightly.
Guo Fan added: "I recently went online and found that the foreign media were hyping you up as a representative of certain emotions, saying that our movies contain political propaganda... I felt unjust, but now that I think about it, it seems like this
The same thing."
He said: "After all, if you make a movie and speak honestly and don't sing the opposite, they won't like to hear it and think you are kitsch."
Fang Yi took it for granted: "Zhang Yimou shot "No One Less", do you remember the scene at the end?"
"Of course I remember."
As soon as Fang Yi mentioned it, Guo Fan knew what he wanted to express.
"No One Should Be Less" ends with a flag-raising ceremony. The rural children walked with some rigid but solemn steps, stood neatly under the simple flagpole, and watched the bright flag rising in the sun.
, singing the national anthem loudly with a childish voice.
When this film was exhibited in Cannes, Chairman Jacob felt that it was "propaganda for the government" and "suspected of beautifying China." He suggested that Zhang Yimou change this film to another "My Father and Mother".
Lao Zhang has a good temper among directors, but this time he reacted extremely violently and directly announced that both films would be withdrawn from Cannes. Not only that, he also wrote a letter blaming Jacob:
“If you don’t put it in the ‘anti-government’ category, just put it in the ‘propaganda for the government’ category.”
"To judge a movie based on such a simple concept is obviously naive and one-sided."
"Do you also hold this view on the works of directors from the United States, France, Italy and other countries?"
We don’t know how Jacob responded, but Zhang Yimou personally did miss out on a great honor.
The final prize at Cannes this time was awarded to the Belgian film "Rosetta". The core of the film's story is similar to "No One Less", which is about a girl's struggle and growth, and may not be as good as the latter.
To a certain extent, in the eyes of some filmmakers, the Cannes Award is more important than the Oscar Award.
What Fang Yi means by mentioning Lao Zhang is that the double standards in the West have not been around for a year or two. The same losses that Zhang Yimou suffered ten years ago will be suffered by Fang Yi today, and domestic filmmakers who want to be successful in the future will continue to suffer.
.
Guo Fan then said helplessly: "When you encounter something like this, I don't know whether it is good or bad. You are making a movie here and your own people want to take care of you, but a foreigner actually wants to take care of you?! Can you still live well?"
Fang Yi said: "I can't take off this skin, and I can't be a banana. They can say whatever they like."
Guo Fan added: "But looking at it on the other hand, it has also received more domestic support... At the time of "Love Afterlife" and "Love Letter", the overseas box office almost exceeded that of the mainland, and the box office of "Seventeen Again" was higher than that of the mainland.
However, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" has not been released overseas yet, but I think there is a high probability that it will not be able to compete with it."
He swallowed, "Because the box office of this movie in mainland China has exceeded 1.7 billion. If there are 1.72 billion overseas, that would be ridiculous. There aren't many people watching Chinese movies in those places combined."
"
"So it may be a big trend to take root in the local area... Then the international chapters, Fa Ge and the like, aren't they all back today? Can Hollywood allow Chinese people to become first-line male stars? It's simply fantastic! We are all wrong,
Instead, I took the right path.”
"The BBC is not destroying us, it is helping us."
When Guo Fan said this, he suddenly thought, "Do you think it's possible? There are some public figures now who don't really want to come back. They are just out of interest, and they don't mean what they say."
Fang Yi ended the topic with one sentence: "Discussing the deeds does not care about the heart."
——————
The inspection group accompanied by Han Sanping arrived in the evening. There were not many people, but they all had backgrounds: This group of people was mainly composed of science, education and culture. The purpose was to evaluate the most advanced domestic film industry and come up with a policy plan to coordinate with next year's film industry.
Support for cultural industries, especially the film industry.
I have been to a round of base special effects bases before. In addition to Beijing, some new film and television startups in Shanghai and Hangzhou have also been inspected. Some of them even make animations and games.
Speaking of this, Fang Yi couldn't help but look at the banner that was just hung up at the Huairou Film and Television Base at the end of last year: "Promote cultural confidence and carry forward the spirit of the times."
Also a banner rendered in red, also a war.
Obviously, Shangfeng is very concerned about cultural undertakings.
