Chapter 085 Campus Speech

ps: I thank my dad for his reward...

When Kim Jong-ming said 'so that's it,' Yu Fatty was a little broken. Everyone understood people, and the meaning of the promise in this sentence should not be too obvious. What does this mean? This means that the movie "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" that is about to invest nearly 30 million US dollars will increase the commercial risks due to the two words of these two people!

Yes, that's right! That "The Furnace" is neither a costume nor a war film. The theory is that Kim Jong-ming described the filming of a month and a half might be... But! That's theoretically, what if it's delayed? Then change the protagonist temporarily? Who is responsible? It's 30 million US dollars! It's me that's the loss!

But then again, the real reason for Fatty Yu's heart collapse is that he found that he could not refute it! Not only did he exchange stocks with Kim Jong-ming, but he had not had time to sign a formal contract with Tsui Hark, okay? Even if these two people are taking his money here and doing something like "hit the same thing at first sight", he could only laugh three times and could only helpless! Otherwise, that would be a greater risk!

But... how to say it? Yu Dong is a man who has 1,000 or 10,000, and he is always a person who does things. So, although he is very unhappy with these two people, and although he has actually ended his marriage, he has pointed and said behind his back that "Men will become bad if they have money", he can always arrange business affairs properly.

Not to mention anything else, in the next two days, although Fatty Yu had already hated Kim Jong-ming into his lungs, he still carefully arranged a large number of high-end face-scanning activities for the other party according to the original plan. First, an interview with the movie channel, and then a meeting with a direct radio and television background. Finally, he actually arranged a campus speech for Kim Jong-ming to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy.

Although it is just a large classroom and only a technical speech, it is still a very sincere action.

"Oppa...will someone throw his shoes at university?" Chu Long helped Kim Jong-ming put on light makeup slightly, while looking a little nervous.

"Why do you say that?" Kim Jong-ming laughed suddenly. "I was just joking..."

"But." Chu Long said hesitantly. "I can really feel that when people here mention Koreans, they feel a little... a little inexplicably hostile when they hear Koreans."

Kim Jong-ming sighed slightly. This is indeed a big truth. As long as the American father's army is still in Gyeonggi Province, the so-called China-South Korea friendship will definitely be "like pine and cypress forever."

"And, you said that the university president was thrown away his shoes when he gave a speech at other schools..." Chu Long continued to preach with some concern. "Since he is the principal, he must be fifty or sixty years old, they still dare to smash it. Then what if you make them angry..."

"Chulong." Seeing the other party helping him clean up, Jin Zhongming stood up and put his shoulders on the other party and came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel. "First of all, the quality of Chinese college students is not as bad as you think. What's more, the campus speech is just a willing person, and the unwilling person will not go. People who are really willing to listen to me are actually kind-hearted. As for the people you said that they are deliberately smashing shoes... are there? I guess there may be. But think about it, if you really encounter such a thing, will the person who is smashed care? I think the principal who was smashed will only feel a pity for the student who was smashed, right?"

Chulong seems to have some enlightenment.

"Anyway." Kim Jong-ming concluded with some speculation. "Today I go with me, I am just to fulfill the duties of a secretary."

Chu Long nodded seriously.

In this way, time flickered slightly and it was already 11:00 in the morning. In a large classroom at Beijing Film Academy, Kim Jong-ming had successfully concluded his speech, and the theme of the speech was "The Application of 3D Technology". In fact, during the whole process, there were no more people who sang the opposite tune, and there were a lot of applause, just as simple and harmonious as a celebrity open class.

By the way, the students sitting in the audience were just as Kim Jong-ming said when comforting Chu Long before. First of all, the quality of Chinese college students is not that bad, and some of the incidents that are causing a lot of controversy on the Internet are just isolated. Secondly, even if the anti-Korean sentiment is universal among the people, people are really willing to come and listen to it and have already screened out the malicious people. In the end, the people who come here are not all half fans, but at least they will not hide shoes in.

This is really not nonsense. It’s like Kim Jong-ming vaguely remembered what happened after the Brazilian Olympics in his previous life. At that time, the coach Lang Pinglang was going to the volleyball department of the Beijing Normal University, so several university forums were immediately bursting! At the same time, a person whom everyone never expected, Liu Jianhong actually came to a place near the Beijing Normal University on behalf of LeTV... Well, that’s right, this person wants to talk about the Chinese men’s football team! So several forums also bursting! It seemed that everyone was thinking about splitting it into two, one wanted to go to the Beijing Normal University to look at Director Lang from a distance to comfort his life. Then the other wanted to see Liu Jianhong, but just like a joke, how many college students who were willing to listen to the Chinese men’s football team were there?

But in fact, the result was much beyond everyone's expectations. There were indeed many people going to see the coach Lang, and the atmosphere was also very good. Everyone had a lot of fun in the Beijing Normal University Volleyball Stadium. However, there were actually quite a lot of people going to listen to Liu Jianhong about the Chinese men's football team, which was also very exciting and the atmosphere was also very good!

Why? Later, when everyone discussed it, the answer was very simple, that is, there were too many Chinese people, especially with so many college students nearby, there would definitely be enough people who had free time and care about the Chinese men's football team! Even if this number was only 1% of the people admired the mentor, it would be enough to fill a conference hall and everyone would have fun together.

Kim Jong-ming encountered this situation. Although it is 10 years now, Korean-pop actors are not well-known in China. After all, this is not the same as Idol. In fact, he is walking on the streets of Chaoyang District these days. However, Beijing Film Academy is Beijing Film Academy, and there are always a few people who have watched his movies, perhaps they are "The Fraud", perhaps they are "Those Years", or perhaps they are "Uncle", so there are still many students. In addition, Yu Dong, who accompanied him, Tsui Hark's face is also valuable, and this event is under the banner of Chinese-Korea film exchanges, so several school leaders and department leaders still came with two officials with great face. In addition, everyone always has two good feelings for a foreigner who is so comfortable to communicate... Well, if you look at it like this, it is no wonder that Kim Jong-ming's speech was warm.

But... there are unexpected situations, and people have good fortune and good fortune. Just as a group of people were preparing to follow Kim Jong-ming to finish such a harmonious technical speech, and then at noon, they went to a nearby university's "Science Building" for lunch, a student who seemed to be quite old and probably had a little experience suddenly stood up.

Then, a question was asked.

This is nothing. The question after the speech was originally a natural part. But it is obvious that the student's question is a bit sensitive:

"How does Mr. Kim Jong-ming view the differences in film censorship between the two countries? Or do you think it is imperative for China to introduce a film rating system?"

There was a small noise below, but the eyes of several school leaders and officials sitting in the front row immediately narrowed.

However, they just squinted their eyes and had no extra words to say, because these days are no longer as good as before.

First, they have no choice but to deal with the students. Second, just as this issue seems to have reached a unified public opinion, and the infamousness of the film censorship system is a fact. Even officials themselves can only use words such as "there is a difficult reform in front of them" to perfunctorily and dare not directly deny it.

However, this incident still made the people in the first three rows very nervous, because the person on the stage was a foreigner after all, and it was easier to attract attention when he said the same words. Then, according to the lawless personality of these college students, they would definitely explode directly. In fact, this is true. Not to mention anything else, those students who were just watching the fun were already drowsy because of various professional terms on the shooting site, but they were also excited at this moment.

Kim Jong-ming was stunned on the stage with the microphone for a while, but in the end he could only smile bitterly: "I thought I had passed the test safely!"

The students in the audience burst into laughter. They didn't expect that Kim Jong-ming would even know the sensitivity of this question. It can be seen that he is a real Chinese expert, not just Chinese.

"To be honest." After the laughter calmed down, Kim Jong-ming sat back on the chair on the podium and looked at the student with a smile. "Why should I ask this question? Shouldn't you answer this question yourself? After all, the future of Chinese movies is yours, and I... are powerless!"

"It's quite tactful." An official turned his head and whispered to the people around him. "There are actually the more foreign collaborators."

The rest of the people nodded and agreed.

"We already have our own answer." The student obviously didn't want to let Kim Jong-ming go. "I just want to hear what you, the bystander, think."

"Why do you have to listen to my opinion?" Kim Jong-ming was still trying to avoid it. "You can just have your opinion, why should you care about what I, a Korean?"

"It's very simple." The student seemed to have a certain opinion, so he seemed aggressive. "Chinese and Korean films once fell into a trough together, but now they are looking up together. However, compared with the trough before the trough, the markets of both sides have become active again at the same time, but the quality of movies here has generally lagged behind that of South Korea. Is there no censorship system here?"

This is too straightforward. Not to mention the leaders, even Yu Donghe and the famous teachers sitting next to him have a bit of a slight look in their eyes.

However, the student who stood up continued: "At least in terms of subject matter, you can film the Gwangju incident, but we can't even mention it in that era; you can satirize the current affairs and create "The Filial Pirates and the Barbersmen in the Cave of Filial Pictorial", but we can't do anything about it; you can boldly use * art, this year's "The Next Girl" and "The Book of Fangzi" are extremely exquisite, but we can't touch it at all..."

Kim Jong-ming had long stopped laughing. He could see that he could not escape this today. If he really left directly, it would be even bigger news. So he listened carefully to the student's instructions similar to venting, and then picked up the microphone again:

"To be honest, I think you have prejudiced yourself in your heart for a long time, so you hope I can give an answer that suits your wishes, right?"

"Does it still need to be discussed?" The student looked for granted, and most of the other students had such expressions.

"I think it needs to be discussed." Kim Jong-ming replied calmly.

Now, everyone in the audience became interested. The smell of listening to this seemed to go against the trend! Especially when the other party was a foreigner, I had never heard of any foreigner who wanted to say a few words about China's censorship system. Even if Chinese works want to win foreign awards, they must scold the government, the country, and the system. This is the old rule...

Just as everyone in the audience was thinking, Kim Jong-ming had already started: "One of your important arguments is that Chinese movies are worse than Korean movies, and because China has more censorship systems, this quality gap must be counted on the censorship system, right?"

"That's right."

"Then I want to ask you, do you think the censorship of Korean movies is not strict?" Kim Jong-ming asked calmly. "Today, in this classroom, I use the protective layer of the ivory tower to say nonsense... Do you know that even under the hierarchy system, a large number of films in South Korea are forced to be cut every year, and many are simply shot?"

“…”

"I'll tell you." Seeing the other party get stuck, Kim Jong-ming explained slowly. "Given an example of socialist thought that you think is refreshing the three views. Every year, the Korean Film Revitalization Committee will shoot many videos that they believe are promoting socialist thoughts."

There was a huge uproar in the audience.

"This is because of the confrontation between North Korea and South Korea." Kim Jong-ming explained without hesitation. "So South Korean law clearly stipulates that propaganda and agitate socialism is illegal! And it is not only a matter of killing the film, but also a long time ago, he used this as a basis to directly arrest people... These years have been better, but that is because, whether it is a Korean director or a film company, he learned to seek profit and avoid harm. You said that we filmed the Gwangju incident, which is not a political correctness? You said "The Barber of the Filial Son-Dong", then do you know how long did politicians use that movie to attack each other after the movie was released? So I want to tell you that countries around the world are the same in terms of firewalls and national ideology, and there is really nothing to say about this."

"Then..." The student who asked the question was a little confused. "What about... what about the ghost movies and the top movies?"

"I'll ask you something first. Do you know that South Korea's **** was legal before 2004?" Kim Jong-ming asked back with a microphone. "*, ghosts and monsters are indeed of great value for artistic discussion, but this involves social customs. It's like director Tsui Hark sitting there. I like his "Green Snake", but it can only be filmed in Hong Kong, because there was no one floor or one phoenix here at that time. It can't be filmed here at this time! This is natural. There is no need to review that line. From the beginning of the market, it will automatically block this subject! Even to the extreme, if you go to the Middle East, even if you are an oil tycoon, if you dare to shoot movies of these subjects, you will be shot and killed by your bodyguard, and then your bodyguard is still a great hero. When the reality of social customs is there, it is meaningless to say this topic. The movie is noble, but it comes from life!"

"Is art destined to bow to reality?" Obviously, this person was still very dissatisfied. As everyone saw, he had prejudices.

"It's not that I bow to reality." Kim Jong-ming shook his head a little. "It's that art must have a realistic foundation. Of course you can be Van Gogh, but you have to have the awareness of enduring the pain! To put it bluntly, since the students here come to this school, there are certainly many people who come to the ideal of "for the rise of Chinese films", but who did not come to make money and enjoy life without being a star and a director? Is there anyone? Even if they are shooting so-called art films and underground films, aren't they seeking fame?"

Some words are not nice and even a bit vicious, but most people know in their hearts, and those students have nothing to say, so the classroom is silent at this moment.

To be honest, I have passed the test in this regard. It’s enough not to embarrass Yu Dong and those leaders. The rest should be separated and it’s better to pat your butt and leave.

However, Kim Jong-ming didn't know which medicine he took was wrong. He seemed to be discussing this issue in full: "We have discussed the censorship system what you said just now... Then there is another question, that is, are Korean movies really good? Or are Chinese movies really bad?"

"This doesn't need to be discussed, right?" Another student who couldn't help but took the microphone and stood up. "The market has improved a lot in recent years, but the lower limit of Chinese movies has been refreshed again and again, while the upper limit of Korean movies has been refreshed again and again. Is this true? "The Chaser", "Uncle"... these things are obvious to all."

Kim Jong-ming thought for a long time, then nodded: "It's true, I have nothing to say about this argument. However, I still insist on the quality of the films of both countries and cannot give a conclusion so simply."

"Why?"

"The reason is very simple." Kim Jong-ming spread his hand helplessly. "Both countries have their own big problems. Before these fundamental problems cannot be solved, please don't say to your second brother..."

The atmosphere in the audience suddenly improved a lot. No matter what, even if you are cursing Chinese movies, no one wants to see their efforts being denied. It is always good to be able to say a few words fairly.

"There are big problems in Chinese films. The market is soaring and the protection is strong, so bad movies are rampant... But do you think there is no big problem with Korean movies?" Kim Jong-ming said helplessly. "Korean movies have a huge enemy! It's a class issue... Don't laugh, I'm telling the truth. The lower-level actors and supporting actors went to shoot stand-in dramas, and they didn't even have any insurance. Why? The crew is poor. Why is the crew poor? They are exploited by capital. South Korea's capital has seriously interfered with the development of Korean movies!"

The audience calmed down again.

"For example, a successful drama." Kim Jong-ming once again showed his palm. "Taxes are actually very rare, because the state will support it, but the theater chains have to take 40% of the conscience, and even 60% of the bad intentions. That's half! Then, if there are still big-name actors who sign a share agreement, they have to take 10% to 20% again! Then, what should the production company still want to make money and continue to develop? It's very simple, compressing the cost. The young actors have no human rights in South Korea, and they may not be able to pay for it if they are disabled. And it's not that they are unwilling to pay, but the crew really can't afford it. Does Chinese movies have such ridiculous problems? And let me tell you another fact that the theater chains of Korean movies are basically monopoly, and they also control the largest production company in South Korea... You can imagine that capital is sucking the blood of the Korean film industry in an extreme way!"

After pausing, Kim Jong-ming looked at the student who had already sat down and asked: "I said this is not to complain, but to tell all the classmates that you can see the lower limit of Chinese movies being refreshed constantly, because you are in Chinese movies, and the upper limit of Korean movies being seen, because you are outside the Korean movies, outside the walls, you can only see its upper limit, which is called objective law. Therefore, these things may not really represent absolute connotations!"

"What should we do with us?" Someone didn't have time to hold the microphone and shouted directly from behind. "According to South Korea, you are a senior. What attitude should we use to face these things with the so-called "future of Chinese movies"?"

"This is what I will say next." Kim Jong-ming smiled and said. "First of all, what I mean is actually very simple. Rules are based on the concept of the overall social situation. I don't think it can be easily denied or supported, because it really affects the whole body, and fierce comments will only complicate it. As for... when I can't touch this level, I personally think that I still have to know how to compromise."

"Submit to the market and capital?" someone cheered again. "Are you succumb to the bureaucracy and the government?"

"It may not be surrender." Kim Jong-ming shook his head with a wry smile. "First of all, you have to be able to make movies, survive, and then change and push it... If you can't even make movies at the beginning, how can you push it to make progress?"

Tsui Hark's eyelids suddenly twitched.

"Ha!" Jin Zhongming sighed slightly self-deprecatingly. "I heard that since my words were like preaching, you actually couldn't listen. I'm also a young man, of course I understand your psychology, but I still hope to say more through this. Everyone..."

At this point, Kim Jong-ming suddenly paused for a few seconds, glanced at the large classroom full of seats, and then continued to speak seriously: "In a complete film ecological environment, if it is still alive and developing, it means that there must be some light and progressive things in it. And it must be the dominant role, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago. Of course, there must be dark and regressive parts, and even more attractive. But I want to say, what should I do if I am not the person who controls the overall situation? It is very simple, there is no need to blame the world, nor do I think about making a big splash. As long as I refuse to regress and dark things, and then choose light and

It’s enough to make progress. But before that, you really need to compromise and tolerate, to make certain compromises and tolerant towards the market, capital, bureaucrats, systems, and even to the selfish and material desires of individuals and people around you. Then, when you get the opportunity to participate, you will make a little progress from your own part... This is enough! As for the direction of progress, if the system is not good, the subject matter is not good, the aesthetics are not good, and we can also innovate in technology! It really looks like an empty big truth, but the big truth always makes sense, not to mention, this is indeed the heartfelt words of my filming for so many years... In short, thank you everyone today!"

Yu Dong pursed his lips: "You are all good people, good filmmakers, and they are all compromised. I understand this! But it's hard for me, Director Xu? It's hard for me to be a director, but it's hard for me to be a boss! You have to understand that I'm not a natural evil capitalist. I was once exactly the same as these arrogant students. I was also a student from Beijing Film Academy! On the current issue... I have to make money, and only by making money can I grow bigger. Li Yuchun really has market appeal!"

"Everyone is in trouble!" Chen Yongxiong quickly spoke out and persuaded him to make peace.

"That's right." Tsui Hark's tone was still very serious. "It's hard for everyone, so I compromised with you and accepted Li Yuchun."

After saying that, Tsui Hark stopped saying a word, but just quietly watched Kim Jong-ming laughing at those people on the side of Taiwan, and also watched the young students who were still talking about something.

And at this moment, suddenly, a lighter appeared in front of me, handed over by Yu Dong next to me.

"The students are gone, don't worry, so I'll suck it." Yu Dong explained weakly.

"Thank you." Tsui Hark lit a cigarette with the lighter and continued to smoke silently.

However, after smoking a cigarette, he suddenly spoke to Yu Dong again: "Mr. Yu... wants to ask you about something private."

"Director Xu just say something."

"A divorce agreement...is there any good lawyer to introduce me? I have no worries before the filming of the movie."

Yu Dong and Chen Yongxiong on the other side were stunned.

ps: By the way, even though my condition has been very trash these days, do you really understand what I really want to say in these chapters? As a novel with the title of the actor, even a Korean entertainment writer, as a hot novelist, it is impossible not to think about the four words of Chinese movies.

There is a person in the comment section who said that I belittled director Tsui Hark, who was wronging me. The meaning in my book is actually very clear. Tsui Hark is a person who respects the protagonist very much. The two of them are really in the same mind and know what a persistent person who is wronged and wants to be fully committed.

As mentioned earlier, the conflict between Hong Kong and the mainland's film and television industry, Chen Kexin was mentioned, and John Woo was greedy for money, and that he was talking about the fact that John Woo was in Hollywood was actually for the sake of Tsui Hark. As a representative director of Hong Kong, he could calm down and continue to shoot his own movies in the mainland, and he could continue to innovate. Even if it was just technological innovation, it was enough to be admired and admired.

However, as I said, what is even more admirable is that there are many rules and regulations in the mainland (there may be family issues, and the specific time is uncertain, but it must be in the past few years since he came to the mainland). He cannot be a monster here like in Xiangjiang. But in this case, he can still persist, make movies with his heart, and bring out a group of film talents from mainland China... This is extremely amazing.

Some people say that he can only make money now, only make commercial films, and say that there are many stars in his movies and bad, but who has noticed that Li Yuchun in "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was forced into by Yu Dong personally? This kind of thing can be found casually, Yu Dong said himself. If he had the final say, he could use this person to play Gui Lunmei and Chen Kun? It would be amazing to be able to make China's first 3D technology movie under this situation. Even if he really succumbed to commercial needs and capital and succumbing to censorship, it would be amazing.

Well, this is the same as the protagonist's speech. If you can't listen, just treat it as a little nonsense and don't care.

As for why I added some experience to the post I didn't read clearly, the reason is very simple. Although this person didn't understand it, at least I noticed my indirect description of Tsui Hark... and more people thought I was in the water, and they thought these chapters were just writing about the protagonist's role in the factory... In fact, those things that look watery and empty are the real private goods I want to say.

600ps, 8k big chapter, isn't it water, right? (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
