Chapter 244: Targeted
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the office door. After receiving a positive reply, a person pushed the door open and entered.
"Boss, Manager Dong, the direction of the wind is not right~"
The person coming is called Li Kaiyu, who is the head of the newly established distribution department of Xingchen Entertainment.
“What’s going on?”
"Starting today, there have been a lot of negative discussions about "Manslaughter" on the Internet. Someone is obviously taking the lead..."
"What did they say?"
"I pointed it out. Look~" Li Kaiyu said and opened the computer in his hand, which showed all kinds of news he had collected.
“It first appeared on the Tianya Forum and Movie Bar, and then spread quickly, and is now reprinted on the three major portals...”
The two quickly browsed according to the articles compiled by Li Kaiyu:
[What situation does "Manslaughter" reflect? 】
【Does "Manslaughter" defend humanity or trample on the law? 】
[In my eyes, "Manslaughter", good people do not die well, and they can only protect their rights by breaking the law]
[Do you really understand "Manslaughter"? 】
[True: Zhang Chen is a double-standard party, and the Hong Kong version is actually different from the mainland]
[Looking at the domestic film censorship system from "Manslaughter"]
......
Zhang Chen browsed quickly and quickly clarified his thoughts.
The current negative comments mainly focus on several aspects:
First, the ending of "Manslaughter" made the audience feel that they were forcibly fed shit.
Second, there are loopholes in the plot.
Third, someone discovered a double version. In the version released abroad, including in Hong Kong, the heroine Ayu was at large, but in China she surrendered.
This is actually normal.
From ancient times to the present, no movie can satisfy everyone, so it is inevitable that there will be negative reviews.
If RMB can’t be liked by everyone, why can movies?
Regarding the ending, everyone has already anticipated it.
There is indeed a suspicion of feeding shit, but there is nothing we can do about it. There is a giant beast in China called film censorship, which is the sword of Damocles hanging over all movies.
You have the final say on how the movie is shot, but he has the final say on whether it can be released.
So in order to have a smooth release, some compromises are inevitable.
The dual version is also due to this. In places where censorship is strict, such as China, Singapore, and Malaysia, the surrendered version will be released, and in places where censorship is not strict, the original version will be released.
The previous "Dark Invasion" and "Shark Beach" also did this.
Don’t think that only the mainland has film censorship, many countries have it. After all, it is a cultural product and has guiding significance.
“These are actually not problems. The real trouble is derived from the first and third points. Now some people on the Internet are taking the lead and using "Manslaughter" as an issue to attack the film censorship system... "
"Huh?" Zhang Chen and Dong Jianqiang were startled and looked at each other.
My "Manslaughter" was used as a gun.
"Can you find out who it is?" Dong Jianqiang asked.
Li Kaiyu shook his head when he heard this: "I'm still checking. Many of the speaking accounts that can be found so far are real accounts. Some are film practitioners, and some are even ordinary viewers..."
There was a brief silence in the office, and the three of them looked at each other, thinking about the seriousness of this matter.
It is a good thing that the movie is popular, and it is also a good thing that there is discussion. However, the topic of discussion may involve the film system, which is not a good thing.
Do you think that in South Korea, one movie can spawn a "Melting Pot Method"?
"Why don't you call Mr. Han and explain that we didn't do this? Don't blame us when the time comes..." The more Dong Jianqiang thought about it, the more he felt guilty.
"I guess it's too late..."
Everyone was wondering, but they found that Zhang Chen raised the mobile phone in his hand. The ringtone rang in time, and the caller ID showed that the caller was Han Sanping.
The other side must have discovered the situation and called us to investigate.
Zhang Chen answered: "Ah, Third Master, yes, yes, I just found out, but it really wasn't us, I can't be guilty..."
Zhang Chen explained to the third master there, while Dong Jianqiang and Li Kaiyu quietly left the office.
Outside the door, Dong Jianqiang ordered: "Collect as much evidence as possible and find out the identities of those rhythmic accounts. I want to see who is behind the scenes... Also, try to lead the topic and don't let it They rely on the film censorship system, but they can't do it. They buy news with the paparazzi to see if something big breaks..."
Tung Chien-keung no longer expects the box office success of "Manslaughter" What's going on? He just hopes that everything will be fine.
After a while, Zhang Chen finished the phone call with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Mr. Han said that he was called to the film bureau in the afternoon to inquire about the situation. He would help explain it, but he couldn't guarantee the effect."
"Well, I have asked Kaiyu to investigate the person behind the scenes. I know my identity. If it doesn’t work, I’ll give it to the public to divert their attention. Do you have anyone’s dirty data?”
“Huh?” Zhang Chen looked at Dong Jianqiang strangely. This operation is very familiar, very similar to his later generations.
But the method proposed by Dong Jianqiang is indeed feasible, but when it comes to melons, where can he find melons?
Most of the melons he knew were produced after 2010, and there are really not many that can be used now.
Everything doesn't match up in time.
Zhang Chen searched his mind and thought of another thing, the Imperial Master incident, but it seemed to be 10 years later.
And even if this melon can be used, Zhang Chen doesn’t want to use it.
Ah Mou’s contribution to Chinese films is obvious to all. You can say that his films are not good-looking, but you cannot deny his role in the development of Chinese films.
Zhang Chen quite admires Ah Mou. He is not involved in any circles, he is just a pure filmmaker.
To put it bluntly, Chaosheng is not a big deal, it is just that it is exaggerated because he is a celebrity.
Zhang Chen concluded based on the memories of later generations that both Ah Mou and Han Sanping played a vital role in the development of Chinese films.
Zhang Chen does not want to be enemies with them if it is not necessary.
......
Zhang Chen and the others thought that with Han Sanping's mediation, the matter would calm down soon.
But they thought wrong.
Just one night later, this matter seemed to have completely exploded.
The Internet is full of discussions about this matter.
【Watch the movie censorship system from "Manslaughter". 】
【Movie censorship, is it necessary to exist】
Ordinary people may not feel it, but they are surprised that there are suddenly so many topics about film censorship recently.
But people in the circle feel very clearly.
For a while, everyone turned their attention to Xingchen Entertainment, wanting to see the jokes of this rapidly rising company.
Among them, the one who enjoyed the most tossing was Lu Chuan.
Now he is the vanguard of the anti-Xingchen Entertainment network. He is shouting that there must be a shady story. How can a plot like "Manslaughter" pass the trial?
After a while, he shouted that "Manslaughter" was mirroring the country~
Anyway, he didn't stop for a moment.
"Manager, that Lu Chuan has spoken again~"
The lady at the front desk carefully knocked on Dong Jianqiang's door and informed him.
Previously, Manager Dong asked him to pay attention to Lu Chuan's every move and notify him immediately if there was any trouble. Now, the young lady came to report the news.
"What did you say?"
The young lady picked up the TV remote control and switched to the entertainment channel, which showed Lu Chuan being interviewed.
""Manslaughter" is definitely mirroring the mainland. Even though he changed the location to Thailand, this is where Zhang Chen is cunning..."
"The biggest villain in the movie is a female The inspector general corresponds to our police chief..."
"The heroine Ayu in the mainland version surrendered in the end, but not in the foreign version. She was left unpunished. What does this say about Zhang Chen? , I admire foreign countries in my heart..."
Zhang Chen was in Dong Jianqiang's office right now. The two had been discussing countermeasures before. When he heard Lu Chuan's words, his nose almost became angry.
This guy is not very good at making movies, but he is very good at criticizing people.
Dong Jianqiang’s face turned purple with anger.
He bought some materials in the past two days, but the effects after being exposed were very average and could not achieve the purpose of diverting attention at all.
"Manslaughter" and film censorship issues are still hot topics of public concern.
