Actor: Thank you.

"Why!"

"Why should he get all the benefits?!"

Unlike Zhang Yuan, who was taking Jiang Yilang around Paris, Lao Han was having a real headache.

Yu Donggang suppressed his complaints from a few days ago.

Previously, because Zhang Yuan had been having affairs with seven women, Boss Yu said that he did not fit the patriotic image of "Bodyguards and Assassins".

It has a hint of settling a personal score.

But now, thanks to Zhang Yuan's actions, especially his response after being criticized by Japanese media, he has become the "most patriotic" male actor in the country.

He has completely established this persona.

Therefore, Yu Dong's previous doubts were easily resolved, and he never mentioned this matter to Lao Han again.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

Yu Dong fell silent, but Lu Chuan got excited again.

Old Han was really having a headache; all of his connections were...

Can't you just give me some peace of mind?

Lu Chuan's "baby" came to complain to his parents again.

His reason for speaking out was the same as Yu Dong's reason for remaining silent.

Zhang Yuan is a loyal minister, so am I a treacherous minister?

Why is it that even though I directed the movie, all the patriotism, popularity, and other benefits are going to him?

So he started complaining to Lao Han.

Not just anyone can make a serious patriotic film.

"The Tokyo Trial" is a film produced by Shanghai Film Studio.

"The Diary of John Rabe" was written by Hua Yi and Rong Xinda, two people with connections to the imperial circle.

"Nanjing Nanjing" is another example of Lu Chuan's connections.

This kind of film can only be made for "our own people".

Just like "The Chinese People's Volunteers" and "The Battle at Lake Changjin" were both directed by Chen Shishi, even Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, two big names of the same era, are qualified.

In the eyes of those in power, these are all opportunities to gain exposure and make a name for themselves in the history of Chinese cinema, and they will definitely be given to "reliable" people.

In reality, none of them are reliable.

These cronies in the old emperor's circle are extremely biased.

Ultimately, however, this project brought Lu Chuan honor.

It also gives him an opportunity to shoot a big-budget commercial film.

The film "City of Life and Death" features war scenes with hundreds of extras in a single scene. Despite its heavy subject matter, the film's costumes, props, and investment all meet the standards of top-tier domestic commercial films.

But now the biggest "peach" has been picked by Zhang Yuan.

Nowadays, when people mention "Nanjing Nanjing", the first thing that comes to mind for viewers is not Lu Chuan, Liu Ye, Gao Yuanyuan, or Fan Wei.

Instead, Zhang Yuan brought seven models to watch a film, which resulted in him being attacked by Japanese media.

What is considered heinous crime by island nations is seen as a "national hero" by Chinese audiences.

Unfortunately, many Chinese actors and directors have mobility issues, and too many of them are forced to kneel before the West.

They always say the West is advanced, and how the West is this and that...

Zhang Tielin said that domestic museums are too closed-minded, only displaying things from their own country.

Unlike the British Museum, which showcases the culture of the entire world.

???

How can someone say something like that?
Don't you know where the things in the British Museum came from?
But Zhang Tielin acquired British citizenship long ago, and speaking up for his own country is also a form of "patriotism."

This kind of person is the most common in the arts and culture circle.

Moreover, many big names in the entertainment industry acquired foreign citizenship during those years.

Siqin Gaowa, Zhang Tielin, Li Lianjie, Gong Li... all of them are award-winning actors and actresses.

The number of celebrities in the entertainment industry acquiring foreign citizenship began to decrease starting with the post-80s generation.

Excluding those like Xixi and Dou Xiao who were taken abroad by their families when they were young, the rest, such as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Hu Ge, Bao Qiang, etc., basically did not immigrate.

This reflects the changing mindset and the times.

China has a group of elites, and they are veteran elites in various industries.

They believe any foreign news except for the claim that China will rise to power.

They don't trust their own country, though.

Such people are very common in certain social classes and fields, and their numbers are extremely large.

There are quite a few in the entertainment industry as well.

Therefore, ordinary viewers actually find these people very distasteful.

But these immigrants always have the audacity to act like this is how it should be, that they're right, and that the immigrants don't understand.

That attitude deserves two slaps across the face.

Suddenly, a breath of fresh air has appeared in the Chinese entertainment industry.

They openly expressed their patriotism, openly boycotted foreign media, and were not afraid of the Japanese suppression in the slightest.

How could the audience not love it?

He's definitely the only one in her heart and mind.

Their pioneering spirit has earned them considerable praise.

Zhang Yuan deliberately took advantage of the situation to climb to the top.

Are you feeling unwell?

Hold it in.

It leaves you with unspeakable suffering.

Lu Chuan felt uncomfortable all over.

They stole the limelight and all the credit.

Just like how the poet Chen doesn't understand how the equation "Mei Lanfang" is bad while "Ip Man" is good holds true.

Lu Chuan couldn't understand why Zhang Yuan's actions had inexplicably made him a positive role model.

Now everyone online says he is the real "Master Ye".

Ip Man fought the Japanese invaders in the movies, and he fought the Japanese invaders in the real world.

And he clearly hooked up with seven models... Lu Chuan felt a burning rage just thinking about it.

He would never admit that he was envious.

This is inherently a bad thing. Playing such a stunt overseas, how can you still be an idol?

But now the online opinion has completely reversed.

"He really made me cry to death!"

"He had seven beautiful women with him, but instead took them to the movies."

"If it were me, I wouldn't have time to watch movies."

"Too upright! It's just like how Sun Wukong froze the seven fairies and then went to steal peaches!"

His image of leading models to conduct patriotic education activities is so deeply ingrained that people actively deny having any "personal relationship" with these women.

Men love two things.

He dragged a beautiful young woman into prostitution and persuaded an old prostitute to reform herself.

Zhang Yuan's behavior clearly fits the latter description, and it's very popular.

His image was so noble that when he saw these contents, he doubted whether they were talking about him.

We need to grasp the diode-like thinking of netizens.

In most people's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in the world: the most virtuous and the most wicked.

Zhang Yuan is not extremely evil; he must be extremely good.

A truly virtuous person is someone who has transcended base desires; how could they possibly sleep with a model!
Lu Chuan watched in disbelief as netizens automatically erased all of Zhang Yuan's previous negative news.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Of course, he wasn't the angrier one.

Zhang Ziyi was the most furious.

Just a few days ago, I was thinking that someone could share the brunt of the "beach gate" controversy.

Now that she sees the negative public opinion, my older sister is so angry she's practically fuming.

"He's hooking up with seven models, are they all saints?"

"Just because my boyfriend and I went sunbathing, I'm considered a slut!"

Because she knew Zhang Yuan well, she knew that once they were settled, it was absolutely impossible for him to just steal peaches.

"He did it on purpose!"

"This behavior is extremely shameful."

"Using my movie, my hard work, to promote myself!" Lu Chuan cursed and swore.

Old Han replied helplessly.

"What do you want?"

"You have to do something about this!"

Han Sanpin rubbed his temples.

What's it to me?

Am I not interfering enough?

“I asked you beforehand, and you said there was no pressure about releasing them together.”

"After the film was shown, you felt I was favoring others in the scheduling." "Then how about this, I'll get down from my seat, you sit in it, and you teach me how to manage it, okay?"

Lu Chuan was stunned by just a few words.

Old Han was furious.

Their box office is higher, but you started the war of words.

You're not as good at making money as others, and you're always causing me trouble!
When Lu Chuan was in a panic, the box office of "Nanjing Nanjing" was only a few million less than that of "Ip Man".

The quarrel between Madam Lu and Old Han was also a desire to catch up with and surpass them.

But I don't need it anymore; I've given up on that idea.

Thanks to Zhang Yuan's actions in Paris, "Ip Man" has already grossed over 1.8 million yuan at the box office, and it's on its way to 2 million yuan.

Only then did Lu Taijun recall what the other party had said during the preview screening.

Zhang Yuan initially estimated it would be over 100 million, ideally 200 million.

Director Lu felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of this.

That's incredibly accurate!

He probably already knew this.

Actually, without the crossover incident, "Ip Man" wouldn't have achieved such high box office numbers.

"You'd better behave yourself for now."

"He didn't criticize you in the last interview, and he even took people to see your film. Isn't that a sign of his support for you?"

"I'm telling you, this is the end of it, stop now."

"It would be ugly if things got out of hand."

"Alright, alright, I have other things to do..." Old Han said dismissively and hung up the phone.

Lady Lu was so suffocated that her lungs felt like they were about to swell.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he originally intended to secure the biggest prize for a film about the War of Resistance against Japan.

Because the biggest prize in the founding-of-the-nation theme definitely belongs to Lao Han.

I never expected that the prize would be snatched away by a kid with no connections!
I stormed back to my study, intending to go online and refute the various criticisms of "Nanjing Nanjing" that have been circulating online recently.

The main focus is on a few points.

First of all, there are several nude scenes in the film.

A naked female extra plays a corpse that has been raped by Japanese soldiers.

Some were on the roadside, and some were on carts used for transporting corpses.

There must be three or four shots like this, and they are all close-ups, not just fleeting glimpses.

Many viewers found it disgusting!

What do you mean by filming these nude scenes?
It's already heavy enough, and you're making it like this, isn't that vulgar?
Everyone criticized him for being vulgar.

He said he was restoring history.

Because the situation was just that bad back then, with corpses lying everywhere on the roadside.

They could have just given him some clothes; that would have been enough.

Knowing full well that it would make many viewers uncomfortable, they still deliberately filmed it this way.

There was also a lot of criticism, focusing on the "Awa Dance" at the end of the film.

This is a traditional island dance performed by a group of people.

Many people who know history have come out to criticize it because the Awa Odori was banned by the shogunate during the Edo period.

Because they were afraid that people would use dancing as an excuse to cause trouble.

It was not until after World War II that it was rediscovered as a traditional culture.

Furthermore, the island nation's military strictly prohibited entertainment activities back then, so it was impossible for them to organize soldiers to dance the Awa Odori.

Some believe that Lu Chuan fabricated history, did not conform to the facts, and was just making things up.

Lu Chuan responded that this was an artistic expression, and those who don't understand it shouldn't talk nonsense.

He wanted to use this dance to depict the process of an island nation's soldiers transforming from normal people into madmen.

At least that's what he thought.

As for whether the audience feels uncomfortable watching it, that's because you have no taste.

He lurked online, passionately arguing with viewers, venting his frustration at being manipulated by Zhang Yuan.

A large part of the criticism came from Zeng Jiafang.

Lu Chuan used his alternate account to attack anyone he met, going on a rampage on forums and blogs.

Until he saw someone else reposting Han Han's blog.

Just like when Lu Taijun thought that Zhang Yuan estimated his film would reach 2 million yuan at the box office, she felt a chill run down her spine.

He developed PTSD after being criticized by Han Han a few years ago and forced to quit the internet.

I haven't bothered you for years, why are you criticizing my film again...?

Before she could even take a good look, Lady Lu was already trembling all over.

He was traumatized by the criticism.

This is equivalent to Tian Wenjing meeting Ma Guocheng.

Moreover, it was precisely because he "fought against a hundred" back then, breaking the defenses of a group of writers' association elders and their families and friends, that Han Han became a god-like figure in the hearts of ordinary netizens.

They have a huge voice among young people!
Upon seeing the other party's opening line... "Read, utter nonsense," he knew something was terribly wrong.

He was right.

This blog post, which Zhang Yuan and Han Han discussed, was designed to make things difficult for Lu Chuan!
The problem with the movie "Nanjing Nanjing" is whether it features naked women dancing the Awa Dance.
No, or rather, not entirely.

There are many problems similar to the Awa Dance, but these can only be called technical problems.

Just like the Japanese repeatedly analyzed the reasons for their defeat in World War II, they always concluded that it was a military problem.

We'll win here once, and we'll triumph there once. If our martial prowess continues, we're sure to win.

As long as we launch the "Banzai Charge," everything will be alright!

They always analyze things at the tactical level, completely ignoring the critical strategic issues.

This idealistic error is incurable and violates the laws of the physical world.

A tiny country, afflicted with rabies, clinging to militaristic ideology and fascist policies, attempts to occupy the entire Asia-Pacific region. Isn't this the biggest strategic problem?
A short guy who is only 1.5 meters tall and weighs just over 100 pounds can eat 16 packs of instant noodles and 10 braised pork in one meal.

After ending up in the hospital from eating something, I thought about it a lot and realized that the problem was with how I ate it.

In fact, if the Japanese could genuinely and properly implement their deceptive "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" plan, they might actually have a future.

If we can achieve mutual prosperity and coexistence, work together, and build together as they say, then there is hope.

Because China's Belt and Road Initiative is about creating a prosperous Eurasian sphere, and even common prosperity for all mankind.

Unfortunately, the Japanese were just using this as a pretext to justify their invasion.

Ideologically and strategically, the Japanese were off-track from the very beginning.

It's like you're raising a crow, but you desperately tell everyone it's an eagle.

It's not that white fur doesn't grow, but that the feed is wrong, or that others don't know how to appreciate it.

Lu Chuan's novel "Nanjing Nanjing" has the same problem.

The problem wasn't tactical, but rather a major strategic issue!

The most important strategic issue is the film's perspective.

Who is the main character in "Nanjing Nanjing"?

Is Liu Ye playing an elite member of the Nationalist army?
The female teacher played by Gao Yuanyuan?
Is the translator played by Fan Wei?

Qin Lan plays a Shanghai lady?
Or is it Jiang Yiyan playing the dancer?

neither!
Liu Ye went offline in the first half of the episode.

Gao Yuanyuan died late, but the character was very idealistic.

The interpreter in question was executed after Rabe left and disappeared from the story in the latter part of the film.

Qin Lan left with Rabe, a little earlier than the range went offline.

Jiang Yiyan also became a comfort woman in the later part of the story, becoming one of those naked corpses pushed out of truckloads.

These Chinese people, who seemed to be the main characters, were all logged off one by one.

So which character is present from beginning to end?
Hideo Nakaizumi plays Kadokawa Masao!
A soldier from an island nation who attacked Nanjing!

In a movie depicting the Nanjing Massacre, the true protagonist is a person from an island nation!

Nakaizumi Hideo, this Japanese actor, is perfectly fine; he is a standard, rare left-wing actor from an island nation.

After filming "City of Life and Death," he even received life-threatening threats from populists in the island nation, with netizens accusing him of "damaging the country's image."

Therefore, after filming this movie, he found it difficult to get work in Japan and has since stayed in China to develop his career.

The actor is fine, the problem is with Lu Chuan!

Just tell me, why is the main perspective from the island nation?

The beginning and end of the film also feature people from the island nation?
why?
TELL ME WHY?

answer me!
If you were filming "Tokyo Tokyo" today, then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with doing it this way.

They harbor malicious intentions!
This means there's a problem with the underlying code of the software.

Can it run?

Yes, it's possible, but it's riddled with bugs when running.

Zhang Yuan mentioned this to Han Han after they finished watching the movie, and Han Han seemed to have a sudden realization.

"Yup!"

Why film historical events in China from the perspective of the Japanese invaders?

Approaching the film from this angle makes many details suddenly clear... (End of Chapter)
