Magic Modified Huayu

Director Nie was speechless.

Ye Heng continued, "This play is ironic. It shows the double standards of the Chinese people. A lot of people reported it, but the authorities ignored it, and the official media rushed to support it."

Some dramas are very positive, but they are banned as soon as someone reports them.

"Is it the financial interests behind this? Or is it the corruption of power? Or is it that some people simply do not have the right stance?" There are big problems in the entertainment industry. Many directors and many stars have big problems.

But I've always believed that if an industry has a major problem, is it simply rotten at the bottom? Is the top pure and flawless? Are the people at the bottom the ones in charge? "Zhang Yimou stared at Wei Jun in amazement.

I really didn't expect Wei Jun to be so brave.

Director Nie also smiled bitterly and said, "Director Wei, you are not Director Wei, you are Wei Dapao."

"Director Nie, if you allow me to speak freely, I will speak freely.

Director Nie, let me make my position clear. I absolutely support censorship, and I also think that some dramas should be banned.

"Many directors in the industry specialize in making scenes that insult women to please foreigners. Their values ​​are fundamentally flawed. I fully support the banning of such scenes.

“But those who are responsible for gatekeeping should shoulder their responsibilities.

The rating system has been implemented, but so far no ghost film has passed the review, while Western zombie films are very popular and can be shown in our country.

I just want to ask, why is there one standard for foreigners and another standard for practitioners in our country?

"The one-size-fits-all system should have been abolished long ago, and everyone knows that, but even today many people are still using it.

"I think the problems these people have are much bigger than those in any celebrity fan club.

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked, Director Nie, Premier Zhou said that the people like to see and hear it. If you don't like it, who do you think you are?

Shanghai people love Pingtan, Huai Opera and Yue Opera. Why do they need you, Beijingers, to approve it?

“Premier Zhou’s words are still fresh in our minds, but people have forgotten them since then.

The current situation is that it is useless if the people like it. If the people in charge of keeping watch don’t like it, who are the people?

"We can't allow this trend to continue!" Lao Mouzi almost knelt down in front of Wei Jun.

He had never seen such a brave man.

Chapter 68: Pointing out the mountains and rivers, inspiring words, and treating the former marquis as dirt!

"Director Wei, I regret this."

After the live conversation ended, Director Nie wanted to die.

"I only knew that you were very brave, but I didn't expect you to be so brave."

If he had known that Director Wei could do such a thing, he would definitely not have done a live interview.

Now that the words have been spoken, it’s too late to make amends.

He could only face it.

Wei Jun said calmly, "Director Nie, don't be afraid. I'm just expressing the audience's feelings."

Director Nie smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wei, some things are difficult to do. The situation is so bad that it's hard to reverse it, and the pressure we face is enormous."

Wei Jun said sincerely, "Director Nie, let's be honest. With great power comes great responsibility."

This is just like what many people complain about celebrities: they make so much money, so don’t talk about the hard work.

Similarly, many relevant persons in charge should be treated in this way.

Being in a high position of power, enjoying the status and energy that power brings, and then blindly emphasizing the difficulties?

If there were no difficulties, anyone could do it, so why would we need you?

What can Director Nie say?

He could only pat Wei Jun's shoulder, shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.

“I really envy the drive of young people like you.

"Director Nie said.

Once upon a time, he was as high-spirited as Wei Jun.

I want to change something through my own efforts.

Later, he gradually adapted to this world.

I also gradually gave up some ideas.

In the eyes of some people, this is called maturity, or even wisdom.

But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would think about it and feel a sense of loss, even regret or remorse.

Director Nie was shocked to see this kind of thing from Wei Jun again.

But I also feel a little relieved.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t go into politics.”

Director Nie sighed again.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "My personality is indeed not suitable for politics."

Director Nie didn't say much to Wei Jun.

Wei Jun's sharp remarks during the live broadcast today caused a chain reaction.

He needs to take some action.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain it to the audience.

There is even no way to explain to the higher-ups.

After all, Director Nie knew what was going on.

If there was no tacit approval from above, Wei Jun would have failed.

The fact that Wei Jun can still speak so sharply now shows that his superiors have tacitly allowed him to do so.

Since this is the case, he must do something in this position.

Otherwise, he really doesn't deserve to be in this position.

After Director Nie left, Lao Mouzi grabbed Wei Jun's hand.

"Director Wei, come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

Wei Jun: “…Director Zhang, what are you doing?” Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?

Lao Mouzi waved his hand and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Don't call me Director Zhang, it's too formal. From now on, just call me Brother Zhang."

After a pause, Lao Mouzi said, "No, I have to call you brother.

Director Wei, from now on you will be my big brother."

Wei Jun: "...Director Zhang, don't joke around."

You are old enough to be my grandfather.

Even if you dare to call me brother, I won’t agree.

"Director Wei, I'm not kidding you.

Based on what you said today, you are the big brother of all Chinese directors."

Lao Mouzi took Wei Jun's hand and walked out.

"Let's go drink. I must treat you to a meal today."

Lao Mouzi was excited and also got drunk.

It’s hard to refuse such hospitality.

Of course, Wei Jun couldn't help but give face to Lao Mouzi.

After drinking for half an hour, Zhang Yimou had changed his address to Wei Jun from "Director Wei" to "Xiao Jun".

Director Wei also accepted the title of "Brother Zhang".

The relationship between the two has obviously taken a step forward.

Wei Jun didn't care either.

He is not yet thirty.

Lao Mouzi is almost seventy years old.

It is reasonable to let Zhang Yimou call him "Xiaojun".

"Xiaojun, you are so fierce, so fierce."

The more Lao Mouzi drinks, the more excited he becomes.

"What you said today really spoke my mind. You are a great benefactor to us directors.

Wei Jun was very calm.

"Brother Zhang, don't get so excited, I'm just speaking my mind.

“It’s hard to speak one’s mind, I don’t dare.

Today it's all Wei Jun performing.

Lao Mouzi is knowledgeable and experienced. Although he has reached a high position, he does not believe in such nonsense as "just say it".

So he was careful with his words and actions.

However, he certainly strongly supported Wei Jun's words mentally.

"I really hope your words can change the higher-ups' attitude."

Lao Mouzi said.

Wei Jun glanced at Lao Mouzi, clinked glasses with him, and then said, "Brother Zhang, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not.

"You said."

"I know that your play, Brother Zhang, was severely blocked by the censors."

When Lao Mouzi heard what Wei Jun said, his eyes instantly became wet.

"It's not just that the jams are terrible, I almost don't know how to make a movie."

"It's not difficult, actually. Brother Zhang, I've always had a suggestion for your generation of directors, but I'm embarrassed to say it.

“You talk, I listen.

Given Wei Jun's current status, Lao Mouzi really values ​​his advice.

Seeing that Lao Mouzi was not being polite, Wei Jun also spoke frankly: "Brother Zhang,

I know that your generation of directors have all experienced that special era.

But I have something to say - you guys are filming

There's really no need to revisit past pains.

Exposing the scars of our country and our audience.

Brother Zhang, do you think the audience really likes to watch things from that era?

Lao Mouzi frowned.

"Brother Zhang, I know some things exist objectively, and there are definitely places in our country where the sun doesn't shine.

Therefore, movies with realistic themes are necessary.

But if you make a movie like this, the box office will definitely not be high.

And let me be frank, it will be of no use after you finish filming.

“There’s nothing wrong with making films about real-life themes. What’s wrong is your generation of directors, who are all seeking pain for the sake of pain and profundity for the sake of profundity.

The higher-ups don't like it, the audience doesn't like it, only you like it, and the foreign judges like it.

"If you really want to make a movie about realistic themes, why do you have to focus on those things? Can't you try a different angle?" Zhang Yimou understood the first part of the sentence, but he didn't understand the rest.

"Xiaojun, let's change our perspective. How should we change it?" "Let's put it this way, the past is the past. It's all history. Your generation of great actors always likes to look back at history, but we live in the present.

Rather than opening up past wounds, facing the current conflicts directly would resonate more with the audience, wouldn’t it? And the subject matter would also be very profound.”
