Rebirth of India: Superior

As soon as Shakru returned to New Delhi, Davod came to him and complained: "Little Shakru, what kind of crappy film did you make last time in Dhavi, Mumbai? Do you know how to give it to me?" How much trouble did my friend get into?"

Since he has been traveling abroad recently, Shakru had forgotten about this matter. After thinking about it, he remembered that it turned out that Davod was talking about the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", but in his impression This movie was very successful. After its release, it became a hit at the box office, both in the United States and India. It is said that winning an Oscar is just around the corner. Even I, a small shareholder who only holds 5% of the shares, How could he get into trouble when he made a lot of money? So he asked curiously: "What happened to this movie? Did something happen?"

"You are not in India or Mumbai recently, so naturally you don't know the specific situation. Now there are several huge demonstrations in Dhavi, demanding that the government not allow "Slumdog Millionaire" to continue to be released, and even the director and screenwriter will be I slapped the portrait with slippers and spat on it. My friend in Dahawi who helped you shoot it and you, the partner of this film, are now called traitors of Indians. Do you think this is a big trouble? ?" Dawoud said angrily.

Shakru was still confused and continued to ask: "Why are they resisting like this?"

"Because they feel that this movie hurts their feelings. They feel that it is using India's backwardness and ignorance to entertain Westerners, allowing Westerners to ridicule India wantonly, and exposing its own shortcomings. India exports films abroad. It should focus on the beautiful and long-standing culture of India, and should not only expose its shortcomings and dark sides. The United States is not without poverty and violence, but how come it is the American superman who saves the world in their movies?" Ward said slowly.

"Is it because of this?" Shakru asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong, isn't this reason enough?"

Shakru calmed down his anger, and then said: "I admit that this movie reflects the backwardness and dark side of India. It does not mention the beauty and long history and culture of India, but what this film reflects is Facts, these situations are real, it can be said that in Dhavi, Mumbai and even every city in India , this kind of thing happens every day. Since it is real, why can't it be filmed? Why can't it be shown to others? And it's not just us in India who make movies in this way. China, which I am very familiar with, The film directed by Lao Mouzi is also of this type, so why hasn’t it been boycotted by the Chinese people?”

In fact, Shakru complained in his heart, compared to Lao Mouzi who relied on slandering the grandparents born in the 1980s to please the American judges, "Slumdog Millionaire" was shot with a conscience, after all, it was shot in reality. What happened in Lao Mouzi's "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Red Sorghum" reflect what happened in that lifetime. As a result, Americans who have never been to China think that they are Chinese. Still living in that situation.

At the end, Shakru simply waved his hand and said: "Brother Davod, don't worry, since I caused this matter, then I will solve it. I will go to Zee TV station tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest." Interview or press conference, I don’t believe this matter can’t be explained clearly.”

Facts have proved that the TV station is always enthusiastic about such hot topics. As soon as he heard about Shakru's intention, the director of the production department agreed with excitement and said that he would prepare overnight. The formal interview can be done in the next two days, and Shaklu is asked whether it can be broadcast live. Because live broadcasting is not like recording, you can modify it at will if you are not satisfied with it, so you must obtain the consent of the interviewee before live broadcasting. Crewe didn't care much about this, so he agreed casually.

The next day, in Zee TV's most popular interview program, the host conducted an exclusive interview with Shakru. As usual, he first chatted about a few unrelated topics. This was to relax the interviewee and also to make the interviewee relaxed. A time to react and prepare.

After a short while, the host entered the topic and asked: "Mr. Pandit, it is said that you had a cooperation with the British EMI Film Company some time ago?"

"It can't be said to be a cooperation, because I didn't provide much help, but I was optimistic about the film, so I took a stake." Shakru corrected.

"It turns out that Mr. Pandit, your vision is quite unique. This movie has done very well at the box office in the United States and India recently. You must have gained a lot." The host first smiled and complimented, and then The topic changed and he asked: "But Dahavi who was in Mumbai recently also It was at the filming location of "Slumdog Millionaire" that several massive demonstrations were held to boycott the film. They believed that the film relied on using India's poverty and backwardness to please Westerners, which was a reflection on their feelings. What do you think of this matter?"

Shakru pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Because I have been on vacation abroad recently and just came back the day before yesterday, so I just learned about this matter. Although the specific situation is not very clear, I think the general reason is I already understand, so I want to use your program to express my views.

First of all, I admit that this movie does capture some of the dark sides of India, but these are objective facts, so I don't think it's necessary to hide the truth. Since they are all true, why don't you dare let people watch them? This is not a deliberate distortion or fabrication of facts. To be honest, I didn't buy the copyright for this movie, otherwise I would have shot it this way. When I founded Polaris, I even dared to shoot "Bandit Queen", which was much more ambitious than this one. "

"Another problem is that everyone is very dissatisfied with the title of the film. The word slumdog is an insult to slum residents. There is a sign that says: "We are people, not dogs" Note: slumdog is composed of the two words "slum" and "dog", the former means slums, and the latter means dog. What do you think about this issue? "The host continued to ask another question.
