Chapter 305 Filmmakers have borders (please subscribe for the first update!)
"There are many reasons for choosing April. The most important thing is that I want to let the audience see this movie earlier. I didn't originally plan to release it in the summer."

Facing the reporter's question, Lu Chuan responded calmly.

Tang An seemed to be much calmer than before, but he didn't stay too long, and walked past without saying hello.

Seeing that he ignored him, Lu Chuan's eyes flashed with anger, but he concealed it well.

Walking into the infield, many people in the industry are present.

Tang An said hello one by one, and came to the chairman of the host, Star Beauty Media.

"Hi Dong Qin, I'm here to wish your company a big box office hit for this movie."

Tan Hong said politely, "Then I will borrow Mr. Tang's good words."

"This seems to be the first film director Tan invests in. Is your company ready to get involved in film and television production?"

Tang An didn't talk about movies with him. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. Instead, he talked about business.

Qin Hong smiled and said, "There is such a plan. Huayi is going public, and Wang Changtian is also preparing to go public. Yu Dong threatened to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. My eyes are so hot."

With the largest theater chain in China, it is normal to get involved in film and television production and distribution. Isn’t that what Wanda did later on?

But Tang An said, "If Mr. Qin wants to go public, it will be easy. The Xingmei Theater Line alone can be listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Now the film and television culture stocks are very hot."

The listing of Xingmei Theaters will definitely not be coldly received. After all, it is also the largest theater company in China. There are more than [-] movie theaters, and basically every provincial capital in the country has at least one movie theater.

"Haha, Mr. Tang is right."

After being told by Tang An, Qin Hong thought so too, and had the idea of ​​letting his theater company go public separately.

The acquaintances chatted for a while, and Zhang Ziming, the distribution director of Berna, seemed to be in a bad mood. After careful questioning, he found out that the film distribution copyright of "Joyful and Big Big Wolf Part [-]" had not been obtained.

The first one was released in January this year, sandwiched between "Red Cliff" and "On the Journey", with a box office of only 6000 million. According to the trend of "On the Journey" before its release, there was a high probability that it would exceed [-] million.

These three films were all released by Berner, so they were naturally blamed by the other party for poor distribution.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. It's just a cartoon. Next year, "People on the Journey" might surprise you." Tang An said with a smile.

"I hope so." Zhang Ziming sighed.

It didn't take long for the premiere ceremony to officially begin, and CCTV 6's "Premiere" column and Jiangning TV station broadcast it.

Moderator Tu Wei: Nanjing is the ancient capital of China, it has a history of nearly 500 years, but in the past 72 years, Nanjing has become
A memory that we can't bear to mention but have to bear in mind.

We gather here today to witness the birth of a Chinese-language film, and at the same time pay tribute to the city of Nanjing,

Pay tribute to the indomitable and tenacious fighting spirit of our ancestors. "

After talking about a bunch of scenes, Qin Hong, as an investor, also delivered his own speech, followed by Lu Chuan.
All the audience began to wait for the opening of the movie seriously. The title has already let all the audience know what kind of story will be told.

Among the thousands of spectators at the scene, no one had a relaxed face, and there was no playfulness between the couples. Everyone was infected by the atmosphere of the scene.

The first half an hour or so is full of war scenes, with the audio-visual features of Hollywood war films, hand-held cameras, low saturation, and a space design similar to the last battle of "Saving Private Ryan".

At No. 30 minutes, Tang An clearly heard the audience in the back row whispering, "Why can't we still fight!"

It's not surprising to have this kind of thinking. This film is telling stories from the perspective of Japanese people, including this war scene, bringing the audience into the Japanese army.

Then the male number one Liu Ye died at the 40th minute of No. [-], completely taking the Japanese as the first point of view.

I have to say that Lu Chuan challenged the audience's common sense and psychological expectations very boldly, quite boldly!

The whole article is not narrated from the Chinese point of view at all, and the only one with a complete point of view is the Japanese military officer Kadokawa.

Strictly speaking, the main line of this film is to express Kadokawa's psychological changes, which is the real story of the film.

In fact, it is not impossible to take the perspective of the Japanese people, but in any case, the Japanese people must not be so tender, so full of compassion, and even let the two Chinese people go, and even committed suicide.

What is the nature of this event?
It's bestiality!
What is the essence of Japanese people?
It's a bad guy!
The famous chess master Wu Qingyuan was maliciously suppressed by the Japanese for a long time during his youthful years of struggle.

Years later, when someone asked about what happened back then, the 90-year-old old chess master just gave a five-word evaluation lightly: "They are bad people."

No need for any other modifiers, a simple bad guy is enough.

It took a while after the movie ended to applaud, accompanied by many comments from the audience. Obviously, the audience who came back to their senses also had a lot of controversy.

The noisy discussion mixed with the applause became louder and louder.

And Lu Chuan, who has been tense all the time, is also relieved, not afraid of controversy. When filming, he planned to tell this historical event from another angle.

Where there is controversy, there will be heat, and more audiences will be attracted to the cinema.

When leaving the venue, many reporters surrounded Lu Chuan, and some young reporters directly asked him why he wanted to beautify Japanese people.

Facing the doubts of many reporters, Lu Chuan had already prepared his speech.

"I want to tell our audience, what kind of opponent we lost to back then!"

"I have checked a lot of information, and I am completely from an objective standpoint. Movies have no national boundaries!"

Facing the reporter's questioning calmly, Lu Chuan kept emphasizing that he was expounding objective facts, constantly talking about what to express here, what to imply there, and what to highlight.
Tang An shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't want to participate in the subsequent dinner party. He didn't want to participate in this feast built on blood and tears.

However, the reporter did not let him go, and several reporters were separated from Lu Chuan to stop him.

"Director Tang, what do you think of this movie?"

"Do you think this movie is objective and fair, or is it deliberately beautifying Japanese people?"

Tang An thought for a while and said, "I don't know if it's fair or not. Films have no national boundaries, but filmmakers have national boundaries."

Tang An left a thought-provoking sentence, regardless of their thoughtful expressions, pushed aside the crowd and left.

Science also has no borders, but scientists do. Otherwise, why did Professor Qian Xueshen give up the United States, which has better scientific research conditions and more advanced technology, and returned to China after all the hardships?
