It has always been rumored that this is a high-end club where rich and powerful people gather. Generally, only political celebrities, business elites, and cultural and sports stars are qualified to come here. Anyone without any identity will not be allowed in by the security guard at the door.
There were more than a dozen people gathered in a small private room in the club. Director Liu, who is from Hong Kong and is good at making anti-Japanese martial arts films, was talking at the table. He initiated this party and chose this extremely expensive place for the sake of ostentation.
.
Liu Zonghan was also present, but he just sat silently in the corner and didn't speak much. He leaned on the sofa and propped his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful, which made it difficult to see the depth.
The current Chinese Directors Committee has been pushed to the edge of the cliff by Zhou Qingfeng. The previous battle cry made the whole society uproar. In fact, the people have long been tired of those fake and vulgar film and television dramas. However, there is nothing to replace them. They can only replace them.
Just watch and have fun.
Now that the blockbuster movie "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" has been released, Liu Zonghan has also watched two episodes. From his own perspective, the level of filming is absolutely top-notch, and the production is impeccable and not bad compared to Hollywood.
However, this situation makes Chinese directors very anxious. It is related to their own jobs. They cannot let down their arrogance and admit it. They will inevitably try every means to smear it.
Now Director Liu at the table is taking the lead and contacting various media outlets to launch a bombardment. Many media outlets nowadays can publish reports with preset views as long as they pay money. This is how many rumors are concocted.
"I have asked people to suppress the ratings of Lin. There are also many celebrities in the media who stand with us. The elites in the entire entertainment industry are rational and will never allow a barbaric boy to run in and run amok."
Director Liu talked about his arrangements in detail, in order to connect with other directors, and also to consolidate the relationship so that he can continue to regain his face. After all, the entertainment industry relies on face.
Listening to what Director Liu said so clearly, others also agreed, but Liu Zonghan felt a strange sense of absurdity. He was hedging his bets. As the vice president of Universal Media, he invested a huge sum of money in Zhou Qingfeng's film and television drama, and then
Provide help to Director Liu and others behind the scenes.
That's right, it's help. Many well-known celebrities in China are funded by foreign funds. These people have always said that they are mothers if they have breasts, and they will help and advocate for whoever gives them money. Liu Zonghan has the relevant channels, but the current situation...
"There's a word for it..., pig teammates." Liu Zonghan recalled the various negative reports about "Lin Sen" and his film and television dramas in recent times. It can be said that they were overwhelmingly criticized and used in every possible way.
Some people doubt Lin Sen's origins, some call him rich and unkind, some clamor for Lin Sen's admiration for foreigners, and some report that Lin Sen's life is corrupt. In short, these are all kinds of speculations and have no basis. But
These things are very common in this impetuous era, and there are always people who believe them.
A few years ago, this kind of unreasonable rants would still have been effective. Anyway, you only needed to raise suspicions, and there was no need to seek confirmation. If you zoom in on the areas that need to be discredited, anyone can be criticized and accused as a sinner through the ages.
But in the past two years, the Chinese people have been baptized by various unreliable rumors countless times, and they always have some doubts when reading similar reports. Liu Zonghan has a feeling that these smear reports are a bit too much.
What does this mean? It means that in the event of a reversal, people who originally believed these reports will feel guilty about "Lin Sen", and people who originally did not believe these reports will stand more firmly on the side of "Lin Sen".
Reversal, reversal, is this reversal coming?
Think about the pride and indifference when 'Lin Sen' suddenly appeared last night, and then think about the patriotic sentiments in the third episode of 'Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea', even if he is a 'banana man', even if he grew up in the United States, even if he always agrees with Western values
, Liu Zonghan also felt deeply frustrated.
It is an impossible task to ask more than one billion people with thousands of years of cultural history to abandon their own national pride and identify with another set of culture and values that are completely inconsistent with their own.
Especially when this country is currently in a period of rising national power, it is a ridiculous idea to stop it from moving forward. Who will change is not sure?
"Mr. Liu, what do you think of our point of view?" Director Liu spoke eloquently for a long time, and suddenly mentioned Liu Zonghan's name. He wanted to please this big American financier.
"Oh..., I..." Liu Zonghan was still thinking about how to boost the morale of the people in front of him. After all, these leading parties in the cultural world are still very useful and can accomplish many things at critical times.
But before the words came out, the door of the small private room was suddenly pushed open, and someone came in angrily and shouted: "What are you still talking nonsense here? Everything is going wrong outside."
Although the atmosphere in the private room was dull, it was still harmonious, but this voice was like a blow to the head, waking everyone up from their dreams. A dozen pairs of puzzled and surprised eyes looked at the person who came in. The person who came in was holding a newspaper in his hand and shouted
: "People's Daily published an editorial, supporting Lin Sen's drama."
What……?
The dozen or so Chinese directors in the private room all wished they were deaf at this moment and did not want to hear such a bolt from the blue. Director Liu is from Hong Kong and does not quite understand the power of the 'People's Daily Editorial', but other mainland directors understand its power.
——This represents official recognition!
"For a long time, the cultural and entertainment circles have been permeated by the view of historical nihility, the view of historical drama, and the view of historical distortion. Many literary and artistic workers simply did not stand on the standpoint of their own nation, but invested all their energy in the eyes of money and ignored the broad masses of the people.
The true needs of the heart.
However, our Chinese nation has a long-lasting feeling of family and country, and a cohesion that cannot be broken. On the road to national rejuvenation, we must awaken the sense of national belonging and enterprising spirit deep in our hearts. The good news is that we finally see this
A film and television drama..."
Someone grabbed the newspaper and read two paragraphs. After reading, everyone fell silent. Liu Zonghan looked at the dead atmosphere, and suddenly felt a little lonely - pig teammates, they are indeed pig teammates! Look at the good things you have done, everything now
It's all messed up.
"Hey... Mr. Liu, where are you going? Lunch will be here soon." Director Liu saw that everyone's expressions were not right, and he was also panicked. Especially when he saw Liu Zonghan actually getting up and leaving, he didn't know what to do.
This sentence made Liu Zonghan angry. He thought to himself: Am I missing this meal? I have to send money to "Lin Sen" now. Last night, that guy blackmailed me for another 30 million US dollars.
It just so happens that Universal Media is optimistic about China’s film and television drama market and the influence of ‘Lin Sen’, so it actually approved the money. What the hell can I do? I’m desperate too!
After walking out of Chang'an Club, Liu Zonghan was a little depressed. He looked back at the top-notch high-end club in the imperial capital, and shook his head and let out a burst of laughter.
This club used to represent authority, connections, and opportunities, but now it is also lonely. In the past, Director Liu could not come here at all, but now people like him can go in and put on a show.
Nowadays, the officialdom is fighting against tigers. Who dares to come to such a conspicuous place? Rich people are finding more private places to socialize. The old days of revelry are all gone now. For example, 'Lin Sen', it seems that guy is very interested in
This place simply doesn't care.
The wind and rain always blow away the wind. The changes in this country and nation are so fast that it is difficult for people to adapt!
