World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Everyone was very quiet, no one took the initiative to speak.

“Very few of the people interviewed have ever been to China, and most of them have never been.”

Qin Dong also knew that this kind of offending thing was no one's fool, and he didn't expect anyone to answer, so he asked and answered himself:

"These individual people who have been to China say that China is very good, very beautiful, very safe, very economically developed, and the urban architecture is very advanced and very modern, with more high-rise buildings than in their country."

"The only thing is spitting. This hygiene issue has also been complained about."

"Ha ha..."

The people below laughed when they heard this and spit everywhere. It’s really hard to say this kind of thing. I don’t know when the habit was formed. It’s like walking on the road. Too many people do this.

"And what do most of the remaining people who have never been to China say?"

Qin Dong also laughed, and then his face became serious. The people below also stopped laughing, knowing that the main event was coming:

"Some of them say they don't know or understand."

"And the answer can be summed up in three words."

"Poor, poor, feudal."

"hehe..."

After Qin Dong finished speaking, he sneered.

This is a disease in his heart.

This is not the last century. Until 2021, many foreigners still have this view of China. How did this understanding come from?

Obviously these people have never been here, but they think so.

Qin Dong knew that many of them were affected by local news media reports, but at this moment Qin Dong pretended not to know, and blamed all of them on some directors who specialize in making literary films about poor people. These people are definitely responsible.

"What Director Qin means is that these foreigners who have never been to China are all influenced by the literary and artistic films exported from our country?"

An unexpected person actually asked.

"Although I don't want to admit what Director Jia said, it is a true fact."

The person who took the initiative to answer the call turned out to be Jia Ke, which was beyond Qin Dong's expectation.

But on the surface, he still agreed seriously.

"Aren't Director Qin's words a bit absolute?"

Jia Ke suppressed his anger and asked.

Netizens can say whatever they want, but where is this? This is the meeting place of the Film Directors Guild.

Qin Dong's words were nothing more than a slap in the face in front of everyone. There must be an explanation for this matter.

"Absolutely? If Director Jia doesn't believe it, you can ask the directors here."

Qin Dong repeated the sentence and asked:

"Ask them just now why they have never been to the United States. Why do they think that the cities there are very advanced and modern, and the cities are full of high-rise buildings? Where did you know that?"

Qin Dong has been there and naturally knows that there are many high-rise buildings there, but not every city is like this.

Because the population there is small, and the economy is indeed number one, there is nothing wrong with saying so.

But just like every country has remote places and countryside.

Although the United States is developed, many of its buildings were built in the last century. It has been too long and looks very old. Even the airport does not give people a modern feel, which is evident.

"Even if this is the case, we can see it from media reports. Why do we say it was influenced by the movie?"

Jia Ke didn't ask anyone else, he paused and said this.

"Then I have to ask Director Jia, how popular are the three major European film festivals?"

Qin Dong asked directly without hesitation:

"Every film festival, every time it is held, does it have a large audience? Excluding those who are related to the film festival, are all the other moviegoers tourists from European countries?"

"Foreigners who have never been to China actually know about it from the media."

"But an adult, or a person who knows how to think, will not just believe media reports."

"But what did they see in the films produced by our country's directors and shown to the outside world?"

"Except for the martial arts and kung fu films released globally by a few Kung Fu superstars, the only ones left are films shown by directors of literary and artistic films through the three major European film festivals."

"Are the so-called literary films all showing a remote place, a rural scene, and a feudal paternalistic mentality?"

"Does literary and artistic films have to be poor and poor? Good urban scenes, those high-rise buildings, those modern city scenes, and those well-dressed protagonists cannot show the so-called ideas of literary films?"

"Does it take a shabby-looking protagonist to show the connotation of an art film?"

Qin Dong became more and more excited as he spoke, and his last few rhetorical questions were extremely loud, shocking the people present through the microphone.

A young man who came here for the first time spoke so harshly at the meeting, and many people were shocked.

"You...you...are making excuses. My movies are not all about poor protagonists. Besides, you are a commercial film director. You don't understand the connotation of literary and artistic films at all. You are not qualified to comment on literary and artistic films."

Jia Ke's face turned red with anger and he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up in a hurry and pointed at Qin Dong with trembling fingers.

"I'm not qualified? What you're talking about is bullshit."

Qin Dong immediately turned his face and spoke even more rudely:

"I am not speaking as a director, but as a Chinese."

"Decades after reform and opening up, this kind of thing is now happening. Just because you show pictures of our life decades ago to the outside world, many foreigners who have never been to China think that we are still here.

Ten years ago, it was still poor, feudal, and not very safe."

"Do you think the movies you make are very good? That's why you have won many awards at European film festivals?"

"You make a high-end movie and see if you can be selected and see if you can win awards?"

"You fool, you are deceiving yourself. What is the reason behind it that you really don't know? Or do you know it well, or there is some secret deal, so you keep filming like that?"

"I heard that the funds for your movie were all invested by foreigners?"

"Why don't you use these people's funds to make movies about the bottom people in these countries?"

Qin Dong, who had completely fallen out, stopped saving face for the other party and spoke in a manner that was almost killing people.

"You...are ridiculous. As a public figure, you speak without thinking and slander you casually without evidence. I want to find a lawyer to sue you. It seems that I can't stay in today's meeting. I'll take my leave."

Jia Ke retorted angrily and threatened Qin Dong, then said something to the others, turned around and left.

He left.

"Director Zhang, it seems that you may have made a mistake in inviting me this time."

Qin Dong looked at the back of a director who was leaving, showed a disdainful smile, and then said something to Master Zhang.

Although Jia Ke was a bit wronged, Qin Dong's words were a bit harsh.

But there is some meaning. This person must bear part of the responsibility. This is not nonsense. It can only be said that what Qin Dong said is serious.

Maybe three-thirds of the responsibility was considered by Qin Dong to be ten-cent.

Exaggerated rhetoric is an art of speaking.

Just like every country has its bottom class, its poor, and its dark places.

But why is it that such a director, whose films are often not released in China and are always banned, has repeatedly won awards at foreign film festivals?

I have to say here that there are no official instructions from foreign countries. Hey, it can only be said that benevolent people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions.

The review department of your own country has not given it to you, and it cannot be released. How can such a film be exhibited abroad? Where is the qualification?

Movies like this have won awards many times, not once or twice, but multiple times.

The degree of mystery here is evident.
