Chapter 303: Have the Ability to Speak to the Outside World?

When everyone saw that he was about to speak, they all became excited.

Some people also spread out their notebooks, intending to record, not to record Chen Qi's wise words, but to record the content of his speech and quickly catch loopholes for refutation.

In the eyes of 99% of the people in the literary and art circles, this kid looks like a patient, like a thorn in the side, like a guy who is unlucky. In short, they can't figure it out.

"First of all, let me ask you, is it true that the Japanese set up concentration camps in China?" Chen Qi asked.

"Of course!"

"731 also has one, right?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I would like to ask, do you want to hide these crimes of the Japanese, or do you want people to know about them?"

“Of course let people know!”

We didn’t dare to be careless about this question, and no one dared to reveal any negative meaning. One of them said: "Comrade Chen Qi, I want you to talk about the original intention of the creation. Why are you talking about such useless things?"

"I'm talking!"

Chen Qi continued: "In that case, why not make it into a movie and send it overseas so that more people can see it? Movies are such a good publicity tool and so suitable for dissemination."

"..."

He waited for a few seconds and said: "No one answered. Let me tell you, because I can't send it out after taking pictures! Why can't I send it out? The political connotation is too strong, the Western camp is boycotting, there is basically no market and other factors, in your mind All clear.

If we don't want to communicate with the world, well, don't do anything. Now that we are open and want to communicate with the world, we must have a way of communication.

When we want to express something, people must understand it first, right?

If people can’t understand it, what’s the point of the expression?

The core of "Life is Beautiful" is very simple. It is the story of a pair of parents protecting their children. Family love and sacrifice are the common characteristics of all mankind. They can be understood by the whole world regardless of race, culture, or language.

Only after you understand it can you like it, and only after you like it can you remember it. What should you remember? Remember the Japanese set up concentration camps in China and did so many fucking things!

We can't always rely on "Tai Chi" to win. Other types of films must also be sent out. Only when they are sent out and attract attention can we further increase our influence internationally!

This is my original intention of creation! "

"..."

All was quiet.

The eyes of the whole room were fixed on him, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Generally speaking, whenever we talk about the original intention of creation, we should start from the aspects of characters, ideas, artistry, and literature.

Chen Qi didn't talk about anything. He talked about distribution.

To release this type of film into the western world.

Chen Huangmei was wearing reading glasses and was recording seriously. He really was recording and felt that this speech was extremely valuable. And some people look confused, they really can't understand, and their brains can't turn around.

There was also a part of me that didn't like him, and just felt that he was trying to make excuses.

But they didn't understand the content and couldn't argue with it, so they brought the topic back to what they were good at.

"Comrade Chen Qi, what you have said seems to make sense, but from an artistic point of view, "Life is Beautiful" is still inappropriate. It should not use comedy techniques to represent the concentration camps. It is too entertaining. It should be consistent with historical facts..."

"I emphasize one point! "Life is Beautiful" is not an entertainment film. With such a tragic ending and such a depressing tone, it is called an entertainment film. I doubt your level of appreciation."

Chen Qi directly interrupted the other party and began to laugh at the group: "You always talk about comedy, so let me ask you, is "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" a comedy? Is it a classic? In it, the Germans are shown to be like two idiots. It fits Historical fact?

Some of our Anti-Japanese War films also have similar problems. Why don't they say they are consistent with historical facts? "

"We are reasonable art processing!"

"I am also an artist. You are allowed to do art, but I am not allowed to do art? And did I glorify the Japanese in the script? Is there something wrong with my stance? No, then what are you talking about? You are fooling around with double standards!"

Chen Qi also specially explained: "Double standards means having one standard for yourself and one standard for others."

The so-called anti-Japanese dramas are not unique to later generations. Some old anti-war films have similar elements, but they are too ridiculous and have no bottom line. Soldiers drink coffee, ride motorcycles, and fly around with AKs. , and then he was scolded by everyone.

There are also many anti-German movies, which show the German Nazis as big fools...

There is nothing to say, it is normal, the key is to shoot well.

Chen Qi started to sneer, quarreling with the scholars, and everyone was blushing and having thick necks. At this moment, the person came out and emphasized: "Even if you are right, if you send this kind of film out, you are not afraid of affecting the international community." Does it matter?"

Um?

Chen Qi glanced at him and suddenly raised his voice: "From what standpoint do you say such a thing? The blood of the martyrs has been kneeled under your knees. A movie can affect international relations. Friendship countries are shocked! Are you a Kuomintang or a Qing Dynasty?" ah?"

"You! You!"

The other party was so angry that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't speak at all.

"There is another reason why I did "Life is Beautiful"!"

Chen Qi was full of fire today and continued: "Japan has built so many concentration camps in China and detained so many foreigners. Many of them are still alive and doing well.

I met Bai Lishi, a foreign language teacher in Shanghai. She is full of affection for China. She regards China as her hometown and is willing to move to China. She has lived in a concentration camp, which is very representative, but who in China has contacted her? Who told her story?

There is also the current U.S. Ambassador to China, Heng Anshi. He was imprisoned in Ledaoyuan Concentration Camp in Weixian County, Shandong Province. He successfully escaped with the help of the guerrillas. He visited the liberated areas, was received by the commander of the Fourth Division of our New Fourth Army, and served as a Kissin His assistant and the first ambassador to China.

What a typical character! "

Chen Qi slapped the table, angrily: "Which of you has contacted him? Who has asked him to collect information on the concentration camps? Who has interviewed him? Who has promoted it? You can't even use a knife! What are you doing!

These foreigners who came from concentration camps are our natural allies. They are scattered in various countries and are a force that cannot be underestimated.

They have all been abused by the Japanese, and they are sworn in. If "Life is Beautiful" is really going to be made, do you think they will support it? Will you support us? Can this film be released in the United States?

We took the opportunity to invite them over, revisited the old places, published newspapers and wrote articles, publicized it, and the matter of Japan building concentration camps was settled! Do you understand? It’s settled, they can’t refute it!

This is called snatching the right to speak!

If we are all like that person, the one who said that China and Japan are friendly... There are more and more people like this. Maybe in a few decades, China will become a fabrication and the Japanese will become victims, saying that we have been thrown away. An atomic bomb killed so many people, and I was the victim.

Do you think it can't happen?

We talk about the literary and artistic front every day, but where are the fronts aimed at? To your own people? "

Chen Qi slapped the table in front of a group of people: "You have the ability to show off to others!!"

"..."

The conference room was like a pot of boiling water, steam was spraying out, and there was a strong argument, and everyone was reddened by the heat.

I thought today would be an artistic discussion, but I didn't expect it to go directly to this latitude.

They read an emotion in Chen Qi's eyes, that he came to this meeting today as a last resort to explain something, but in fact he was too lazy to say it. Being looked down upon by a junior like this made them naturally angry, but they couldn't match the frequency to refute it.

"..."

Chen Huangmei memorized two full pages, his heart was filled with ups and downs, and he learned a lot.

Sure enough, you still have to listen to the parties involved.

There were still those who were dissatisfied, squeezing their necks and saying: "You are using strong words to make sense!"

"Secretly changing concepts, confusing right and wrong, baseless, you, you!"

"Okay, okay, what does it look like to be noisy during a meeting? Everyone is arguing and everyone has their own opinions. If you can't agree, just say it. If you can't, just shut up. Everyone is watching..."

Chen Huangmei interrupted them. He felt that it was almost done. If he continued driving, he would not be able to say anything. He said decisively: "As of today, the problem is relatively clear. Please disperse."

"Xiao Chen, please stay for a while!"
