China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

"Lu Ping'an hits this year's Oscars with his new film "1937""

A piece of news was published in Lao America.

After so many years of operation, Lu Ping An's reputation is no longer what few people knew it was two or three years ago.

Therefore, the last Oscar for Best Director was about to hit the Oscars again, and it immediately attracted the attention of the industry.

Movie fans also cast their gazes one after another.

Lu Ping An's fan base is very broad.

Horror movies, suspense, rainbow, DC fans, etc., the range is extremely wide.

Everyone looked at me and wanted to see what kind of movie this was.

At first glance, oh, war theme?

"This is a story that Lu Ping'an heard from his elders that happened in China in 1937. In 1937, when Japan's war of aggression against China broke out, Nanjing, China suffered a massacre rare in human history. The protagonist Zhou was trapped in Nanjing. , he wanted to escape."

Simple story summary.

Fans of Lu Pingan are naturally interested. After all, this is Lu Pingan's movie, and it is going to compete for the Oscars.

From a larger perspective, what old American movie fans are probably most interested in are fans of war movies.

This is normal.

Commercial genre films already have a certain audience, so if you want to interest everyone, you certainly can’t force it.

Of course, as a movie, once it starts to be promoted and some people are interested, then naturally there will be people who are not interested or even dismiss it.

As for "1937", the biggest disapproval of ordinary Americans and the media is that Lu Ping An can make a good war movie?

It was written in the promotional press release that this was Lu Pingan's first time making a war-type movie.

And he is Chinese.

People may be interested in making historical war movies, but for modern wars, you still have to watch American movies, so it remains to be investigated anyway.

Hu Qingquan saw all the above situations.

Some are bullish, and some are bearish.

Very normal.

But for him, what he is most concerned about is not these normal business reactions, but something deeper.

Unfortunately, it seems that at present, not many Americans are interested in the words "Japanese invasion of China" and "massacre".

Also, Asian people basically don’t care about the massacre in Africa.

If you want to make people in other places face up to this kind of incident, apart from politics, movies are a good means.

For example, "Hotel Rwanda" in 2004.

As soon as the movie came out, at least many people in the international community knew about the existence of such a thing.

That's what movies are about.

"1937" is actually responsible for this purpose.

It's just that those countries in Africa are not important internationally.

Neon has its tricks.

In the "international society", Neon, like some groups, has been clearing the ground for decades.

Because the "international community" pays little attention to what is happening in Asia, it also gives some people the soil to distort right and wrong.

And our country has no classic works that can reach the international level, so so far, most people are confused about the events mentioned in the story overview of "1937".

If you want to make this event memorable for everyone, you have to watch a movie.

In this regard, the relevant forces will naturally not let you go so smoothly.

Therefore, shortly after the official announcement of "1937", Dingfeng and Hu Qingquan once again received various threats.

Fortunately, it's all in private. Although it's disgusting, there's no need to worry too much with the security measures in place.

The trouble is public opinion.

After the official announcement, various voices of resistance quickly emerged.

To a lesser extent:

"It's his first time directing a war film and he wants to win an Oscar. Lu has fallen into the arrogant genius circle."

"Ping An Lu challenges Hollywood, the highest palace of world war film technology"

Either it's personal, or it's to stir up trouble and create conflict.

It's gross, but it's kind of okay.

More disgusting things are coming soon.

“Should movies that distort history deserve an Oscar?”

“The Oscars are not a place to promote a director’s personal populism”

The former is distorting history as usual, while the latter is really disgusting.

"The Oscars are not a place to promote a director's personal populism."

This directly exposes and accuses Lu Ping'an of wanting to dance crazily in the zzzq land of Hollywood and even the world's film industry.

Such elements can only be criticized and cannot be used as means.

This actually doesn't work anywhere.

For this kind of report, in fact, normal people will think when they see it, Lu Pingping is not stupid, would he do this? And the movie hasn’t even been released yet, so how can you be so sure that he will make it like this?

But the problem is that there are not many normal people in this world, otherwise there would be no such thing as controlling public opinion.

Of course, certain forces cannot control it as powerfully as a country on the Mediterranean Sea.

But there is influence.

Old American movie fans began to watch bad movies and felt that it was wrong to distort history.

Neon netizens have said it, saying that there was no massacre at all, and that Lu had ulterior motives!

resist!

Of course, this is only a minority, and the majority still don’t care.

Whether it’s neon or China, it’s none of our business.

On the contrary, many people also want to see war and taboo scenes.

But if you really want to use movies to promote populism, it will definitely not work.

If a great director brings in private goods, it will also ruin his popularity among passers-by.

Among all the directors currently, I haven’t seen anyone do this. You, Lu Ping An, don’t allow this.

At the Oscar level, they also pay attention to this.

Although Oscar is not clean either, the uncleanness with feces and the uncleanness without feces are two different concepts.

In their view, this kind of disco dancing is just shit, and we at the Oscars don't do it.

So soon, producer Hu Qingquan encountered inquiries from the Hollywood Film Association, and the media also disclosed that the Oscars would pay attention to the film, and would decide whether to disqualify it based on the situation.

Old and American movies are actually censored, but a rating system has evolved since the middle of the 20th century, so very few Hollywood movies have been banned since then.

But that doesn’t mean there really isn’t “review,” especially when it comes to the Oscars, which are, after all, the awards show.

So looking at it this way, it’s still unclear whether “1937” can win the Olympics.

The news quickly spread back to China. Once processed by the media, it became a very localized "censored" and "fear of being banned."

In this regard, most people and the media are concerned about and support Lu Ping An, and some people even popularized the theory that Hollywood has not censored it at all.

But there will still be discordant sounds.

Some people say that Lu Ping'an is secluded from the international film industry.

Some people say that doing so will affect China's international image.

Some people say that you are capable of making a movie like this to compete for an Oscar? Do we have to emphasize patriotism in this way?

The reporter immediately interviewed some big names in the industry.

Not bad, Principal Zhang, Jiang Wen and others have publicly supported it, so this is a no-brainer.

The reporters then turned to Lu Ping'an's "rivals" the great poet and Zhang Weiping.

The great poet is pretty good, but is it fake news? Then declined to comment.

Zhang Weiping said that culture needs to be spread in the right way.

The reporter asked if this was what Lao Mouzi meant? Zhang Weiping answered directly that Lao Mouzi is making final post-production adjustments for "The Golden Armor" and the film will also compete for this Oscar.

I really never forget to promote.

But the media as a whole also knew that Zhang Weiping was gloating about his misfortune.

In short, the boycott of "1937" caused quite a shock at home and abroad.

Hu Qingquan didn't panic at all, because this was all expected, and they had already planned for such things.
