Chapter 251 Blog
On Sunday, "Dialogue" was broadcast, and Zhang Chen stayed in front of the TV on time...
Although he said it lightly, it was his first time on CCTV after all. , somewhat excited.
After watching the whole program, I was quite satisfied.
After all, CCTV is CCTV. There is no random editing or deliberate creation of contradictions. It is basically loyal to the facts.
The interview was conducted that day, and the result was similar.
Not like Lan Tai~
Zhang Chen originally thought that CCTV would cut out some sensitive words, such as those in "Young and Dangerous", but it didn't.
And the interaction between Zhang Chen and the expert was kept intact, as well as the interaction with the audience.
Zhang Chen is quite satisfied with the overall effect.
He has a good image in the show, with a bright smile, handsome clothes, and often witty remarks. The atmosphere of the show is very good.
No wonder this program has become the longest-running interview program on CCTV. There is indeed a reason for it.
Dong Jianqiang watched it with him. After watching it, he was finally relieved.
He has always been worried that Zhang Chen said something inappropriate on the show, but fortunately he didn't.
Zhang Chen’s speech was quite satisfactory. Although he mentioned a lot of secrets, such as the liberalization of film censorship in 1988, which most people didn’t know about, he really didn’t say anything out of the ordinary.
Dong Jianqiang was very satisfied, but Zhang Chen felt that what he said was still a bit shallow.
He is going to write another blog to explain it in detail.
Dong Jianqiang didn't know Zhang Chen's plan. He would probably be worried if he knew it, so Zhang Chen simply didn't sue him.
As for the film censorship system mentioned in "Dialogue", due to the length of the program, some issues were not mentioned. I would like to explain them one by one in the blog.
Once you have a good beginning, it will be easier to write the rest.
Many people mentioned the relationship between "Manslaughter" and film censorship, saying that "Manslaughter" ended up being unsightly because of film censorship.
Let me explain this emphatically.
First of all, let’s talk about film censorship. Films have a very special status in our country. They are not only a means of entertaining the public, but also a position for public opinion propaganda.
Movie censorship is something that cannot disappear.
As for its role, I think the example I gave about "Young and Dangerous" in "Dialogue" is already very clear.
It has a positive meaning and is not unique to China.
I don’t think anyone wants their children to have their lives affected by watching a movie with bad values like "Young and Dangerous" before their three views are fully established.
Speaking of this, some people will definitely say, why not establish a film rating system.
"Young and Dangerous" is a Category III film in Hong Kong and is prohibited from being shown to young people.
Some people just think that the rating system is more advanced than the current film censorship system.
But what I want to say is that this is probably unlikely, at least not likely in the short term.
As mentioned earlier, movies are a platform for propaganda. This alone determines that our movies cannot be like those of foreign countries.
Do you think that after the film classification system comes out, you can just sit in the cinema and watch Category III movies?
Wrong idea.
Even if there is a film rating system, it is a film rating system after censorship.
If you cannot pass the trial now, you will not be able to pass the trial in the future.
Actually, I can understand why the government has not promulgated the "Film Law" or the "Film Classification System" for a long time, because the law is a very serious thing, and once such stripy things are promulgated, they cannot be changed casually.
The film industry in our country is developing rapidly. It can be said that different situations happen every day, and many situations are simply unforeseen.
If unforeseen circumstances arise, there is no way to rely on them.
Moreover, the emergence of unsound legal provisions may restrict the development of the industry, so the smartest thing to do is to shelve it for now.
The film censorship system is like a temporary measure. It has no specific content and is more like a policy.
But it eliminates situations where there is no law to rely on, and it eliminates the possibility of taking advantage of loopholes.
As a filmmaker myself, of course I feel uncomfortable with such uncertainty, but it is a fact.
If you think about it from a national level, you will know that although this is unreasonable, it is the most appropriate at the moment.
And I firmly believe that the future direction will definitely be more and more relaxed. This is related to the national strength, the international environment, and the public's perception.
Content that cannot be filmed now may be filmed in the future.
Just like feudal superstition, when no one believes it anymore, if you film it, people will only regard it as a legend.
Now if someone digs out a Cyclops from the Yellow River, will you still believe it?
That’s all for the film review part. In addition, I also noticed that many friends are discussing the screenwriting team of Star Media. Everyone still highly praises the plot of "Manslaughter".
Let me clarify here that "Manslaughter" was indeed polished and completed by the screenwriting team. In fact, almost all project scripts of Star Entertainment have been written by the screenwriting team.
"Shark Tank", "Dark Invasion 2" and "Manslaughter" are all like this, and the same is true for "Crazy Stone", which will be released later.
Remember what I boasted about "Crazy Stone" before? It's still valid.
Don’t think that we who make thrillers can’t make comedies. You’ll know after watching “The Stone”. To put it bluntly, "The Stone" won't be a very deep movie, but it will make you laugh, a hearty laugh.
In addition, we have also produced a sitcom called "Wulin Gaiden". The quality is also good, the kind of drama king. We welcome interested TV stations to contact us for negotiation. Absolutely I can give you a surprise.
After Zhang Chen finished writing his blog, he checked it twice and posted it if there was nothing wrong with it.
The next day, the blog became popular before "Dialogue".
Zhang Chen has a certain number of fans because he has continuously criticized Zhang Weiping, Lu Chuan and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
There is no Weibo yet, and there is no communication channel between celebrities and grassroots.
These people usually gather in Zhang Chen’s bar.
The owner of the bar is called ‘Qingcheng Wuji’ and he is a fan of Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen Bar was created by him on Baidu Tieba, and now it has become the base camp for Zhang Chen fans. People share Zhang Chen’s updates in the bar every day.
【By the way, "Taken" has been completed. Does anyone know when it will be released? ]
["Manslaughter" was suddenly released. Is there something fishy in it? Can anyone please explain~]
[Little Kalami asks for the seeds of "Lake Eden" , if anyone has it, please share it]
Looking at the posts in the bar, Qingcheng Wuji would spend several hours every day to reply to the posts.
He discovered Zhang Chen’s blog today as soon as it was posted, and then decisively moved it to the post bar.
Qingcheng Wuji, the owner of the bar, immediately found the interview with "Dialogue" and linked to the direct link.
[Zhang Chen was interviewed by CCTV, there is a link below the post]
The top mark is red, the largest font~~
The bar owner has this privilege.
The popularity in Tieba is not very high, not as good as those of big stars, but there are many die-hard fans and the level of activity is very high.
Soon someone noticed this pinned post and clicked in to check it out.
In the backend of the website, Qingcheng Wuji watched the number of clicks on the Tieba rising steadily, and then looked at the long list of replies below, "Bar Master Mighty", and smiled with satisfaction, like a fool.
……
Early the next morning, Dong Jianqiang found reporters squatting downstairs when he arrived at the company.
Is "Dialogue" so influential?
Just one night?
Dong Jianqiang felt something was wrong, so he inquired about it, spread a circle of smoke, and finally figured out what was going on.
Zhang Chen actually posted another blog late at night?
I hurried back to the company and immediately turned on my computer to check. After a while, I let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, there was nothing illegal in the blog’s content. Then, he saw the first post with the most likes under the blog’s comments:
Zhang Chen, if you are forced Yes, just blink~
What the hell is this?
Immediately he realized that Zhang Chen’s blog was indeed very different from his previous style.
How should I put it? It seems that it has been clearing the ground for the film censorship system. In previous words, it was a bit like the eagle dog of the imperial court. In current words, it is a licking dog.
No wonder reporters would block people at the entrance of the company early in the morning, probably because they wanted to dig up some shady stories about the current government persecution of Zhongliang.
Thinking of this, Dong Jianqiang quickly wiped away the non-existent sweat and called Zhang Chen urgently.
Zhang Chen happened to be getting off the car when he received the call. As soon as he got off the car, he was surrounded by reporters swarming in, which really shocked him.
What is going on?
Then I heard Dong Jianqiang’s speculation on the phone, and I couldn’t laugh or cry~
“Director Zhang, have you received any kind of warning?”
“Director Zhang, there are some comments about the film censorship system in the program and blog. Is the content really your true thoughts?”
“Director Zhang, netizens suspect that you have been coerced. Is this true?”
……
Zhang Chen was surrounded by reporters, with more than a dozen microphones in front of his mouth.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please be quiet and let me reply..."
This time he didn't ask any three questions. If he doesn't explain this matter clearly, he won't be able to solve it. It would be self-defeating.
Originally it was to show attitude, but if the General Administration thought it was insinuation, it would be more than worth the loss.
When the reporters were almost quiet, Zhang Chen said: "First of all, I have not been warned or coerced. Whether it is on the show or on the blog, my opinions are my own. Real ideas, real and effective.”
Wow~
The crowd suddenly became chaotic again, and reporters rushed to talk. Zhang Chen was so noisy that he couldn't hear what they were saying.
“Okay, let me reiterate, the film censorship system is not a scourge. It exists for a reason. What we have to do is to look at it correctly and then adapt to it..."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he got into the corridor, and the reporters were stopped outside by security guards.
Not to mention the reporter, even he himself felt that he looked like a hawk.
But what else can I say otherwise.
In fact, there is no point in discussing this at all. All the issues mentioned here were mentioned when the "Seven Independent Gentlemen wrote to the Film Bureau". Has there been any change?
No.
According to memory, there will still be no change in the film censorship system until 2024, so there is no point in discussing this.
And what Zhang Chen said in his blog is his true thoughts.
When there is no way to rely on it, it is indeed most appropriate to use a policy-based film censorship system. Even if it has various imperfections, it can at least solve many problems.
