New Age Artists

Chapter 242 New Cultural Strategy, Yu Feihong (33)

Shen Santong’s “New Generation Directors Project”.

Support three types of projects: comedy films, feature films, and literary and artistic criticism films.

Dongda has no shortage of talent, and Shen Santong plans to try to guide and train them with projects and funds.

If the West can lead Western costume blockbusters, he can naturally do it too.

If you want to make a film, be a director, or have a masterpiece, just follow the tone he sets.

The first category is comedy films.

If the market needs it and the book is up to standard, he is willing to invest some money to give it a try.

The second category is feature films.

He will give the topic and determine the style and tone.

Topics like "Three Gorges Construction", "Soybean War" and "West-East Gas Transmission" are all good topics.

The Three Gorges Dam was completed last month, making it a perfect place for filming.

Without mentioning that man can conquer nature, it would be nice to just take a picture of the changes before and after the dam was built.

Living in a flood discharge area, where the place name contains the word "垸", I have to move every year due to floods, and I get anxious every rainy season.

No one comes to invest and no one dares to build because everything will be ruined if the water comes.

Now that the Three Gorges Dam has been repaired, we no longer have to worry and can live and work in peace from now on.

The child asked innocently: "Don't we have to hide from the water anymore?"

The adult smiled.

A story about the living world.

Soy Wars.

Film how people operate, how they deceive people, and what tricks they use.

Aren't these so much better than marginal, dull, silent movies?
In Shen Santong's opinion, this is what a story is.

Here's a story from the Industrial Age.

One bridge flies from north to south, and the moat becomes a thoroughfare.

A calm lake appears from a high gorge; the goddess should be fine, and the world will be astonished.

The five mountains in the sky are covered with silver hoes, and the earth is shaking and the three rivers are shaken by iron arms.

Sitting on the ground and traveling miles a day, surveying the sky and looking at a thousand rivers in the distance.

Rockets, shipbuilding, machine tools, aviation, factories.
There are so many stories.

The third type of literary and artistic criticism film.

Shen Santong doesn't hate criticism, but he hates the kind that Jia Zhangke receives.

He hopes to do something new.

For example, hunting and how to be hunted.

Not to mention those who are born bad, ordinary people start with their loved ones and fall step by step.

For example, in school, tutors control the students' future and in turn oppress the students.

Academic celebrities or department leaders use their own academic and administrative resources.

For the students, it means overwhelming energy.

Once they start playing with the unspoken rules of exchanging interests, it is difficult for students in the ivory tower to muster the courage to expose, resist and strive to defend their rights.

If you report it hastily, you might be attacked by these big guys and their common interests.

This kind of literary and artistic criticism is powerful criticism.

Jia Zhangke and his group won’t make this film because it will offend vested interest groups.

They are a gang in themselves.

Foreign countries will not provide funding either, because filming this kind of thing will really promote social development and be of some benefit to society.

In the final analysis, the problem of land colonization lies not in the colonization but in the land.

Some directors of the fifth generation and almost all directors of the sixth generation have a rustic flavor.
Shen Santong wants to do something less tacky.

If it doesn't pass the review, it won't be shown in theaters or win awards outside, and will just be broadcast on the Internet.

He did not do this to please foreigners, but hoped to change the direction of art films.

The purpose of uncovering the scar is to remove the pus and facilitate healing.

It is not to make fun of outsiders, to show off your monkey skills, or to be played like a monkey.

Shen Santong has a new cultural strategy in mind.

The plan of creating a new director is a move towards this strategic layout.

Cleanse away all kinds of junk culture and free the people from cultural shackles.

The new culture movement in 1915 was aimed at saving the nation from extinction.

It is the howling and shouting in the crisis of national extinction.

I know that change must happen, but I don’t know where to change, and I’m in a state of panic.

The intellectuals at that time, especially the literati.

Except for a very few people, the overall situation is unremarkable.

After the military failure and the collapse of the Qing government, most of the literati were frightened.

They attributed all the reasons for their military failures to the problems of Chinese civilization.

The result of admiring the strong is the denial of Chinese culture and history. People don’t know who they are or where their ancestral graves are.

Anyone who is a foreigner must kneel down, and anyone from the University of Tokyo must be demoted.

In literary works, Chinese people are described as spiritually victorious and ignorant, while foreigners are described as moral.

Not really a new culture.

The first thirty years were a truly new culture.

Social consciousness is far ahead of social reality, which is the dividend of the founding of the country.

The swordsman left, reality was too heavy, and he was pulled back to reality.

Nowadays, the material conditions and social reality are sufficient, but social awareness is lagging behind.

A batch of old-fashioned dishes and old oil residue, too rustic.

The literary world is full of either hooligans or liars.

In addition to being pretentious, having an affair, drinking, bragging, telling dirty jokes, and venting dissatisfaction with society.

They fought bitterly for a small position, for a younger sister-in-law, and for a meeting.

There is nothing like normal people's stuff.

Things like Yin Zao were considered so rustic and disgusting in ancient times.

In the 80s, some people arrogantly shouted that they would continue to colonize for another 300 years.

A normal Dongda person's abstract understanding of land should be thick and heavy, not dark and dirty.

It should be full of vitality, not a piece of dirt. In traditional cultural thought, loyalty to the country, filial piety to ancestors, benevolence to the people, righteousness to brothers, courtesy when getting along with friends, and faith in social norms.

These things are often not seen in the works of so-called masters.

Those who engage in so-called modern academic research do not have any modern spirit in their bones.

Many lawyers, journalists, economists, and historians always mention the United States, Greece, and Rome.

A lawyer should be an atheist.

But he always mentioned the Bible and Abraham.

Trying to bring about change by using Western systems and culture.

Self-deprecation, self-abasement, and self-destruction.

Fawning on the West to the extreme.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

For the generation of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the University of Tokyo was relatively backward.

The best among them do not need to create.

Whether it is cultural ideas, political systems, economic models, industrial structures, technological directions, or product concepts.

As long as you copy something from abroad, you will be ahead and achieve success.

These people make a living by trafficking in the West.

In fact.

The social and industrial aspects are completely opposite to the cultural and public opinion aspects.

Even a hundred years ago, facing a major military defeat, the entire regime collapsed.

There will still be people who stand up and demand the restoration of China.

After the Qing government was overthrown, the direction pursued by people with lofty ideals was not to split up and create a few small countries and live a small life for themselves.

Instead, even through war, it is necessary to establish a strong central government and form a unified country.

In the 8090s and s, countless people still stood up and survived that period.

Not to mention that after 00, the post-80s generation grew up and exploded with powerful innovation capabilities.

In later generations, the University of Tokyo was at the forefront of the world in almost all fields.

Those born in the 90s and 00s will be even more outstanding. During their growth process, the country has become stronger and provided them with a good education and material foundation.

Reality level.

Thousands of houses are filled with fireworks and hope.

In terms of public opinion dissemination.

There were wailing everywhere and demons were everywhere.

Even 20 years later, it was still the same. When Shen Santong was reborn, it was very popular.

A technology that cannot be implemented in the United States suddenly caused jubilation in the public opinion field.

I am happier than if my own father were resurrected.

Todai University went through so much trouble to install air conditioners for its athletes.

Let's focus on the weather details. One detail can overturn everything.

If Tokyo University hosted the Olympic Games and used cardboard houses, the construction would be delayed, the formaldehyde would not dissipate when the athletes moved in, and there would be condensation water without air conditioning, which would definitely lead to the country's destruction.

Something happened to Benzi at Todai.

A warning of national destruction, populism, and capital flight.

Something happened to the Dongda man in the book.

He kept silent and hesitated.

It's more than double standards, it's absolutely double standards!

The Chinese people have been manipulated by a bunch of greasy, old-fashioned and colonial people, and they dare not even dream of a better life.

The better days are yet to come for the party involved.

Their lives are indeed getting better and better, but they are repeatedly taken away and deconstructed by these bastards.

This shows that a new cultural baptism is needed.

Agricultural era.

Chinese civilization has produced the most splendid civilization.

In the early days of the unified dynasty, even small farmers could often eat meat, change their destiny through reading, and have a cultural and entertainment life.

Not to mention cities, many cities with a population of millions have rich citizen life.

Let’s look at the West.

Let’s not talk about the agricultural era, it was too bullying.

After burning, killing and looting, even if they owned economic colonies and entered the welfare society, they still could not live a good life.

Fundamentally, throughout history, European and American countries have never had a good life and do not know how to live.

It is sad not to be able to enjoy pleasure.

In the agricultural era, the University of Tokyo had the highest living standard in the world.

From the perspective of historical logic, the development of the industrial age has just begun.

Because the lower limit of the University of Tokyo does not reach the upper limit of some countries.

This shows that there is still a long way to go before returning to historical levels.

This is the logic of history, and the logic of history is unstoppable.

Shen Santong needs to make plans now.

It is difficult to do it at the moment because we have not yet entered the era of self-media and everyone is busy developing.

He just makes the movie first.

History, mythology, comedy, and training new directors.

Wait until ten or twenty years later.

Send away a bunch of old oil scum and old aerospace people.

Shen Santong did not do anything funny during his graduation speech.

Only at the end, he mentioned the "new generation director plan" but did not go into details.

There is no need to mention the new cultural strategy.

His ideas are almost hostile to the entire literary, entertainment, historical, economic, legal, and media circles.

Some things can only be done but not said.

After the graduation ceremony, Shen Santong took photos with his classmates.

After Wang Chunzi and Shen Santong took their photos, they said, "Teacher Yu, that is Yu Feihong. I want to ask you for advice on a movie. Are you free?"
