New Age Artists

Chapter 252: The twisted old man strides forward (14)

Shen Santong experienced information explosion in his previous life and saw through the nature of some people.

Colonization has a heritage.

80s.

"Writer", "literary figure", "economist", "journalist", etc.

You can gain status by speaking for certain people and forces.

Very high status.

He divided up some industries privately, provided theoretical doctrines to rationalize them, and gained support from people both inside and outside the country.

90s.

It's starting to lose power, it's not going well.

You can only become an "expert" and your status will be lowered.

It's impossible to have one job for each person as it was in the 80s.

00s.

Public knowledge and opinions are stinking.

There are no more "experts" and there is no place for them.

10s.

They can only complain and stir up confrontation on online platforms.

20 years.

The circle is self-contained, eating the shit from the outside, pooping even stinkier shit, and then feeding it to the outside, which then poops even stinkier shit and eats it again.

so cycle.

Network platform, only digital life support.

Most people know what they look like.

Push one and one will flip over.

A certain Luo.

As long as this lawyer takes sides, there will always be trouble.

The academic idol I admired went to Lolita Island.

Those who were repairing the bridge with good intentions turned out to be bandits and highway robbers who just sat there and collected money.

The tree-planting saint and the tanker truck are all reversed.

What better reflects his position is the double standards on the virus.

Origin: The United States: Don’t spread rumors.

Origin: It is reasonable to doubt.

I liked all of Fangfang’s Weibo posts, but after the incident, I quit Weibo to clear all traces.

If the above is just an opinion.

His actions prove that knowledge and action are unified.

He helped a black guy take off his black clothes.

It's not a difference of opinion, it's an issue of enemies and friends.

These people still had some status in the early days.

In the later period, he completely became a dog of some internal and external forces, without even a sense of autonomy.

The most ridiculous thing is that the children and disciples of these old guys who made their fortunes in the 8090s and s have listened to the experiences of these old guys.

They often don't die a good death.

The experiences these people impart are genuine.

They themselves have gained status by speaking for interest groups and performing performance art.

It's just that times have changed.

In fact, there is no room left.

Like the one who starved to death in the notebook.

In the 80s, he would have become an authority in a certain field of communication.

In the 90s, you can also be an expert or professor in the field of communication and media.

But after the 00s, he could only work as an editor in some marginal media.

Since my father is an editor-in-chief, I can be arranged to work as a reporter in the United States.

Those who have no relatives can only fend for themselves and become wandering ghosts.

Once you leave Lao Zhong, you will immediately lose your chance to survive.

Shen Santong knew this group of people too well. As soon as they raised their butts, he knew what kind of shit they were going to do.

At this point in time, there is still some power, but not much.

It's a complete cesspool, you will get yourself dirty if you get involved in it.

Just ignore them and let them rot in the dark corner.

Conference call.

Shen Santong and Ning Hao held a telephone conference to discuss next week's promotion.

He was promoting the event in Fan Bingbing's hometown, Qingdao.

Ning Hao is in Wuhan.

A hotel in Wuhan.

Ning Hao had dark circles under his eyes and looked very haggard.

Didn't sleep well.

When Shen Santong faced the siege of public opinion before, he was not at the center of it. Although he could feel the danger and pressure, he did not experience it personally.

When it came to him, he realized how terrible the pressure was.

He was widely criticized in public for plagiarism.

He has an article on hand that gives arguments for various film elements.

He was accused of simply copying Snatch.

The main characters are all struggling underdogs.

Important props, priceless stones (diamonds replaced with jade).

Use dialect (Gypsy replaced with Sichuan dialect).

Snatch threw a can of milk inside, smashed the car, and replaced it with a can of Coke.

Even the scene switching is done like Snatch, switching from Chongqing to Hong Kong.

It's all passport stamps, airplane cuts, taxi lights on. Suitcases.

And the man with the suitcase, a copy of Franky the Four Fingers
Among the underdogs in Snatch, only the Turkish (who steals and steals roles) is well-dressed and elegant.

The same thing happens in "Stone", where the security chief imitates Turkish in every move he makes.

Even the belt around the waist is the same style.

In the end the jadeite went to Bao Shihong, and just like the robbery, the diamond went to the Turkish.

He could still ignore the previous general plagiarism attacks.

But this well-founded accusation made him very uncomfortable.

He did learn from it and cared about this criticism.

If it was just this kind of sound, he could still barely resist it.

Then, the voices from experts, academic authorities, and even his former school teachers, overwhelmed him and made him unable to breathe.

He knew he shouldn't read the negative reviews, but he couldn't help it.

I want to find my own report in the newspaper.

Some newspaper reports made his psychological defenses shaky.

Today, the China Business News published a report.

Beijing Film Academy scholar Huang Shixian expressed his views on stones in a telephone interview with a reporter.

First of all, I think China really needs a blockbuster movie like "Crazy Stone" at the moment.

"But a funny movie doesn't necessarily mean it's a comedy. A true comedy should be like what Chaplin played."

"After watching it, you will think about it and smile bitterly."

"But 'Stone' didn't. The movie just made the three thieves look ridiculous. It was a spoof."

"But what can you think about after reading it? Nothing!"

"I'm sure that commercial films like this are just passing clouds, and after the craziness, nothing will be remembered."

Call Crazy Stone a farce.

Said: "Ning Hao is a child laborer, being exploited by the market too early!"

He also said that Chinese films would die without art films.

Although the film’s real-time box office has exceeded 200 million, Professor Huang believes there is nothing to be happy about.

"He should make more art films. It is more important for young directors to establish their own artistic style."

"For business and market development, you can ask Zhang Yimou to help."

Huang Shixian is an academic authority in the film industry and a professor at Beijing Film Academy.

A famous film professor who has trained six generations of directors including Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai.

There were also reports of shocking news, which Ning Hao could not ignore.

The Jingjing News also interviewed many authoritative professors in the film and media industry.

A group of experts have harshly criticized the recent farce "Crazy Stone".

The experts put forward some opinions on some characters, plot settings, and visual presentation in the film.

Hu Ke, a professor at the Communication University of China, said: "The details of making fun of the Thousand-armed Guanyin in the film are not appropriate. After all, it is an excellent program that shows people with disabilities."

"In addition, the female characters in the film are all in a weak position and do not bring much highlights to the film."

Some experts unanimously pointed out that some plots in the film were too "vulgar".

It will cause adverse physiological reactions in people.

The Xinjing News also interviewed Huang Shixian.

Huang Shixian said: "Ning Hao shot this film. At the very beginning, Shen Santong chose him to shoot the sequel and then asked him to write the script."

"Then there are Shen Santong's requirements during the filming process, which is very much like a composition with a limited framework."

He felt very sorry: "I asked Ning Hao why he didn't shoot the script he liked first and didn't do it according to his own ideas?"

"He said it was Shen Santong who liked this. It's obvious that he had no creative freedom."

"He himself admitted that he felt very painful when shooting because people often forcibly distorted his creative intentions."

Professor Huang said: "Great directors like the Chinese New Wave began by exploring and shooting experimental films on their own."

“Use your talents to the fullest, and then shoot commercial films.”

"And now Director Ning Hao is so young and he's already making commercial films."

"My artistic talent hasn't been fully unleashed yet, but I've been controlled by capital to shoot movies similar to those in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Hollywood."

"Then what can he leave for others in the future?"

"Capital has directly killed a talented director. Ning Hao is like a 'child laborer' who entered the market too early and was exploited!"

The call was connected with Shen Santong.

Ning Hao explained: "Director Shen, the statement about the solid yellow line is a complete lie."

“I did tell people that filming was stressful, but that’s because it was a major project.”

"No complaints about you and the opportunities you gave me."

"Should we respond?"

Ning Hao prides himself on being a real man, but at this moment, he is a little overwhelmed.

Denied across the board.

Indiscriminate attacks are made on professional ethics, professional pursuits, personal morality, and character.

Plagiarism is a denial of his professional ethics.

Calling him a "child laborer" undermines the legitimacy of his filming stone from the perspective of art films and denies his professional pursuits.

To accuse him of having a problem with Shen Santong is to deny his personal morality and character and is ungrateful.

Those who gave these denials were teachers and academic authorities at Beijing Film Academy, as well as many experts whom he respected.

Shen Santong stopped him: "If you answer, you will be fooled."

"Let these old scums twist their minds, we won't respond to any of them."

"The best response is to not be influenced by them, to move forward and to follow your own path."

Shi Tou’s public opinions are mostly based on the actual situation.

It was just processed to fit the background of the novel.

The audience and the media praised it at the time.

But some media also denied that Huang Shixian was the teacher of Huang Shixian, Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai.

The solid yellow line was still at the Stone Seminar of Beijing Film Academy, in front of Ning Hao, criticizing Stone as a farce.

In the time and space of the novel, because of the existence of the protagonist, the attacks suffered are even more crazy.
