Zhong Zhiwei's face was livid, and he slapped Lu Linxi's hand away with his teeth bared.
"Go, go, go, why are you so happy to pat my legs?"
"Sorry, sorry, I just photographed the wrong person."
Lu Linxi said casually with a smile.
But he did it on purpose.
Who let this kid Zhong Zhiwei disturb his dream?
But I have to say that this guy gave himself a good book.
In "Introduction to the Film Industry", there is not only a detailed explanation of Hollywood film shooting models and studios, but also Cao Weidong's vision of building a film industry with Chinese characteristics.
As a filmmaker, he feels that the ideas in the book are pertinent and pragmatic.
Now that the film school has just resumed classes, everything is waiting to be done.
Not only are there few students, they also don’t have many teaching aids.
At this time, "Introduction to the Film Industry" appears just right.
Lu Linxi can completely use this book as the core to build a film teaching system for Chinese people.
He turned over the title page and found that there was no printed information, so he said with some confusion.
"Hey, this is an internal publication, it hasn't been officially printed yet?"
Zhong Zhiwei said.
"Yes, this book came from there. Whether this kind of book can be printed in the mainland still needs to be reviewed by the higher authorities."
"I have had a relationship with Mr. Shao. He wrote to me a few days ago, and I found out about this book, so I got in touch and asked for a copy."
Every year, many movies, TV series, books, novels, comics, etc. are submitted for review from "over there".
But whether it can pass depends on luck.
It may have been banned for some inexplicable reason.
This is very common.
So Mr. Shao mobilized his connections in the mainland and hoped that they would help so that Cao Weidong's book could pass the review.
Lu Linxi knew the whole story, so she immediately put on her military coat, turned off the lights, turned around and walked out.
Zhong Zhiwei was a little confused.
"Hey, hey, why are you going?"
Lu Linxi said without looking back.
"Of course I have to ask the leaders for instructions. This book is so good that it must be published."
"But it's only six o'clock now, and the leaders haven't gone to work yet."
"Then I will go to my house to block the door. This good book must not be buried. The development of our film field in China needs this book."
Lu Linxi’s attitude is firm.
In this "Introduction", he saw a bright future...
.......
The coldness of winter has passed quietly, and the fragrance of spring has arrived again.
Three months have passed since the "Introduction" was submitted for review.
On this day, Mr. Shao walked into Cao Weidong's office.
"Weidong, I just received a letter. The book you wrote has been published, and it is also used as a teaching material in film schools."
He wanted to tell Cao Weidong the good news as soon as possible.
However, when he walked in, he found that Cao Weidong had a gloomy face and a stack of comics in his hand.
"What is this?"
He got closer and found that it was a Marvel superhero comic series.
Marvel Comics is one of the giants of Yingjiang comics. It was founded in 1939 and was officially named Marvel in 1961, formerly translated as "Marvel Comics". It is a concept-level comic that is popular in Yingjiang.
Even if he is in Hong Kong City, he has heard of this comic series.
But I’ve never seen it.
Cao Weidong came to his senses and responded.
"Introduction" is quite pertinent. I believe that as long as there is some brains over there, the book will be approved for publication.
At this time, Mr. Shao said curiously.
"Weidong, you still read comics."
"No, I just feel a little sad about Westerners' prejudice against us."
Cao Weidong reached out and clicked on the comic book, opened one page, and handed it to Mr. Shao.
"What do you think?"
Mr. Shao took the comic.
In the cartoon, he is an Asian.
His image is a bit weird.
Single eyelids, always squinting, and a fierce look.
Mr. Shao subconsciously felt that this person's image was very unpleasant.
It's just that he still doesn't know why.
So he asked.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Cao Weidong suggested.
"In this comic book, I see the stereotypes of us in the West."
Mr. Shao said doubtfully.
"Stereotype?"
Cao Weidong shook his head.
Many people during this period actually did not realize that this was a deliberate attempt by the Western world to discredit the East.
The so-called stereotype mainly refers to a generalized and fixed view that people form about a certain thing or object, and generalizes this view to believe that this thing or the whole has the same characteristics, thus ignoring individual differences. p>
The character in the comic is Shang-Chi.
He is a comic character created by the creator who was inspired by Chinese Kung Fu.
But Shang-Chi's creative background is related to "Fu Manchu".
Fu Manchu is a villain created by a British novelist.
He combines genius and evil, is proficient in modern Western technology, controls a terrorist organization, and does all kinds of evil.
In appearance, he is tall and thin, with narrow eyes, long braids, and thin cheeks.
In terms of behavior, he either led his secret troops to rob tombs, or conducted cruel experiments in the basement, and he always dressed up in strange clothes, like an uncivilized savage.
In fact, Fu Manchu is the product of stereotypes.
In addition to this "Satan" type image, there are also "retainer" type images.
This type of image is often average-looking, short and fat, and lacks masculine characteristics and charm.
Of course, compared to male oranges, the situation of female oranges is not much better.
Cao Weidong deeply hates the stereotypes created by the Western world.
Mr. Shao frowned and said, "So that's it. I didn't notice it before. Wei Dong, what are you going to do?"
Cao Weidong said: "I plan to hit the Hollywood market."
"Impact? What are you going to do?" Mr. Shao asked.
Cao Weidong chuckled.
"When we are strong, our enemies will naturally be afraid, so I want to make a few movies to let the Western world see what the great China is!"
Hollywood dominates the West, and the most popular plots are science fiction dramas, followed by suspense dramas, urban dramas, etc.
But Hollywood has a fatal flaw.
There is a lack of quality mythological and fantasy movies.
Eagle sauce has a history of only a few hundred years and lacks historical precipitation. A large number of myths in Hollywood movies are transferred from Greek mythology and Nordic mythology.
But in recent years, Hollywood has repeatedly filmed those Western myths for so many years that the global audience will inevitably become tired.
This is the best opportunity for China’s cultural export.
After all, China has a history of 5,000 years, and there are countless themes that can be made into movies, such as Gonggong's anger at Buzhou Mountain, Giant Spirit Splitting the Mountain, Chiyou's battle with the Yellow Emperor, Xingtian Dance with Qianqi, Conferring the Gods, Journey to the West, etc.
In the past, it was just because of the limitations of special effects technology and cost considerations for the original scripts of Asian film and television. Most of the films exported to the Western world were action-type and gangster, police and bandit themes.
But it’s different now.
Just recently, the movie green screen special effects technology he invested in achieved a breakthrough.
Therefore, Cao Weidong decided to give Westerners a little Chinese shock.
