New Age Artists

Chapter 339 Weird Atmosphere (13)

Jiang Wen speaks very good English.

The meaning is conveyed and expressed very clearly.

Marco Muller, president and artistic director of the Venice Film Festival, had panic in his eyes.

As an expert on Tokyo University, he went to study abroad at Tokyo University in the 70s, and his first wife was a Tokyo University student.

Ben wanted to study anthropology.

For some reasons, I turned to studying mass literature and art.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, he was a priest; now, he is a sinologist.

There is a complete inheritance lineage.

The Ming Dynasty recorded human geography and copied various technologies.

In the Qing Dynasty, various social information was collected.

Look for times of weakness and seize opportunities.

The Republic of China tried every means to promote, replace, and eliminate culture, from writing to history.

It is possible that the result would be the same as that of indigenous people in other places.

Marco’s job is to contact, cultivate, and guide the development of Dongda’s literary and artistic films, while excluding commercial films.

At the same time, guide and shape film cultural symbols and film practitioners.

After graduating from graduate school, he met the fifth-generation directors who were studying at the Beijing Film Academy.

I like Tian Zhuangzhuang’s movies the most, they are obscure and difficult to understand.

If promoted, the audience of Dongda University will no longer like local films.

"Lust, Caution" is the movie they need.

Becoming a cultural symbol for Chinese-language films to the outside world can show the results they want.

Through this play, in the name of art, we can guide more filmmakers to take this path, which is a great achievement.

If we do it well, there won't be any problem in hosting another Venice.

However, Jiang Wen's interpretation was not allowed.

As a sinologist, Marco studies history.

Indeed, Mr. Yi and the female college student can be compared according to the analogy mentioned by Jiang Wen.

Even from a historical perspective, this period of Todai’s history was even more tragic.

However, it cannot be interpreted in this way.

If interpreted in this way, it is an anti-Semitic film.

The propaganda tone for "Lust, Caution" had already been prepared and set.

I really didn't expect Jiang Wen to bring up this topic.

Marco was terrified!

Although his original intention was good.

But will those people behind him recognize him?
If he caused misunderstanding among those people, he would be abandoned immediately.

after.

There is no place for him in the fields of film, literature, and media anymore.

Losing your job and your current status are considered light consequences.

Some Jewish committees will continue to target him and exclude him.

Together with his friends, family, former teachers, colleagues, and partners.

Even some European and American directors who had been indebted to him, all parties concerned must draw a clear line with him.

His former friends would criticize him.

His former colleagues would insult him.

Everyone expresses their opinion and everyone passes the test.

If you don’t do this, you will be implicated.

What Marco did was inextricably linked to this ethnic group, and it could even be said that he was serving the group itself.

The characteristics of this group are very clear.

Even if he has served this purpose and made contributions to the Western narrative, and his motives are harmless, it is useless.

Don't care at all.

Even Schindler doesn't care, he is nothing.

This group, like some film workers at the University of Tokyo, is extremely selfish and egoistic.

Jiang Wen's interpretation would cause him to live in poverty, hunger and displacement from then on.

Director Li Min's face darkened and his head started buzzing.

He has collaborated with Li An on many films and is also the producer who discovered Li An.

The Jew, James Schamus, was stunned.

Really stunned.

The publicity for this drama has already been decided and will not involve anything related to them.

No one would make such an association, and no one dares to do so.

Contact itself is taboo.

Wow!

There was a commotion in the audience.

Several spectators sitting at the door fled in panic.

They feel excited when watching "Lust, Caution" because of the curiosity and sense of conquest.

Don't know the history inside.

German military officer, Jewish female college student
The film festival is crazy to show a movie like this.

The audience cried.

If you watch a movie like this, you will go to jail.

Everyone fell into great panic.

If they get involved with this, they will lose everything.

College students who don’t have a job yet should not even think about graduating.

Domestic media reporters are in a state of confusion.

A look of innocence and curiosity.

Foreign reporters quickly turned off their recorders and other devices.

recording?

It's also a sin!

Many people looked at each other in horror, and what they had agreed was wrong, there shouldn't be such a connection.

They could hardly breathe.

These journalists are more sensitive than the audience.

This is a topic that cannot be touched upon. The love between a German officer and a Jewish female college student is a topic that cannot be discussed, not to mention in a movie, even in a text or a novel.

It is a topic that should not come up, and the two cannot be connected in any way.

Movies like "Lust, Caution" are simply terrible.

It’s hard to describe in words, many people are about to collapse.

in the cinema.

There was silence for a moment.

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only one or two seconds.

Jiang Wen apologized, "I said it wrong. To be precise, it was the German officers in the German concentration camps and the Jewish students in the occupied areas."

"Or the director of the soap factory in the concentration camp upstairs and the Jewish female college student would be more suitable."

"The heroine is a college student, and for patriotic purposes, she goes on a dangerous assassination."

"Director Li Min just said that the passionate scenes in the film took a total of 11 days to shoot."

"Besides the actors, there were only the photographer and the sound engineer on the set."

"In order to achieve the best effect, before each scene, the director would carefully explain the scene to Liang Chaowei and the leading actress Tang Wei, who had no experience in this area before."

“Let them experience the feeling in the body movements and emotions.”

"Liang Chaowei just said that during the filming, he was on the verge of a complete mental breakdown."

“Looking at the effect, I think the director’s arrangement is very clever.”

"As an officer of the country, I was extremely depressed and had to vent through my emotions."

"And the simple-minded Jewish student was in a high mental state to assassinate such a terrifying being."

"I think"

There were cries of fear in the audience: "Ah, ah!"

Looking at Jiang Wen, who has black eyes, black hair and yellow skin, they discussed this topic openly.

Some people completely broke down.

why?
Why can this issue be discussed so loudly?

Going crazy!
Mr. Dong, doesn’t he know that this is a taboo topic?

Still using a calm tone of discussing art.

How dare you?
Many people are on the verge of mental breakdown.

Marco Muller said sternly: "Jiang Wen! Enough! Enough!"

He wanted to communicate with Jiang Wen in Chinese, but he thought of the producer of "Lust, Caution" James who was Jewish sitting next to him.

Don't dare to cause any misunderstanding.

In English, fingers clenched together, using the classic Italian gesture: "You can't do that, you can't say that, this has nothing to do with gaining the country or being Jewish."

Marco Muller looked at Jiang Wen half pleadingly and half warningly.

He knew Jiang Wen and was very familiar with him. He knew that Jiang Wen was Xie Jin's disciple.

Marco has studied the culture of the University of Tokyo for a long time. If he retires one day, he would like to live in the University of Tokyo.

Except for literary and artistic workers, other groups at Dongda University are very friendly.

So while he released "Lust, Caution", he also made other compensations, which he considered to be compensation.

Zhang Yimou was promoted to chairman of the jury, and four Chinese-language films were included in the main competition list.

But he hasn't retired yet, he needs to make a living.

Moreover, it is impossible to receive any courtesy by going to the University of Tokyo in this way.

Jiang Wen said seriously: "Chairman Marco, I just see that many viewers don't understand. You are an expert in history, and you should know that the Jewish people and my people have similar histories."

“We were just discussing art.”

Jiang Wen introduced the film to foreign audiences with great interest: "The lead actor of Mr. Yi is our famous actor, Liang Chaowei."

"He challenged himself again in the film and successfully played a character who longed for warmth and affection in his heart but looked cold and gloomy on the outside."

"In the film, he is no longer a handsome and melancholy man, but a slightly old and thin middle-aged man. As soon as he appears, people will gasp and feel cold and overwhelming."

"If it's hard to understand, it means that the officers of Deguo have gained humanity, showing a perspective that was not available in previous movies, and allowing us to glimpse the mental state of the officers of Deguo."

"This is a very significant breakthrough, and the heroine is like a female college student, she is a newcomer named Tang Wei."

"In several erotic scenes, I saw that Liang Chaowei's performance was better, and it was almost always him guiding Tang Wei."

"Of course, Tang Wei's performance was also amazing. Although her appearance was not pleasing, she fit the role of that era very well and was convincing."

"From the passionate performance and the almost collapsed monologue at the end of the film, the state of a Jewish female college student, a simple girl, facing the officers of the country and bearing huge psychological and physical pressure is vividly expressed."

"You can see a Jewish female college student, that kind of person."

The atmosphere in the cinema became weird.

Some people were devastated, but some were excited.

This is a Dongda movie, right?
We only watched Tokyo University movies, that person seemed to be a Tokyo University director, and we only discussed Tokyo University movies.

As for the "Jew" in it, it is just a metaphor.

One reporter couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily: "Why are you guys from Dongda always like this? You don't understand anything, you don't have any sense of propriety, you don't have any sense of proportion?"

"I, Bob, strongly protest against the anti-Semitic film Lust, Caution, being shown in Venice. I strongly protest!"

Other reporters spoke out.

Incredible.

Incredible.

The atmosphere is so weird, it's like returning to World War II.

The cinema became the pub of the day

The audience doesn't care. If these journalists don't come out and express their opinions, everyone will be labeled as hyping up the Jews.

To express an indefinite position is equivalent to making absolutely no statement.

Silence, silence is also anti-Semitic.

Jiang Wen sneered in his heart, you are afraid too, but on the surface he looked confused: "We are just discussing art! We have no stance!"

James, a producer who has worked with Li An for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore and said to Li An who was standing there in a daze: "Li, I think the premiere is over here."

James had no good solution for Jiang Wen.

If it were a Westerner, even a big director who could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, he believed that the other party would not have the courage to say it.

The end of Mel Gibson is nigh.

Super star huh, top director huh?
Not only did he lose his career by offending You, but his family was also broken apart.

However, the University of Tokyo has its own rules, which cannot be controlled.

Doesn’t he know that “Lust, Caution” is anti-Semitic?
He is Jud.

James can't let the situation get out of control any longer. If he boycotts "Lust, Caution", he will lose money.

No, even if it is really an anti-Semitic movie, it is not allowed.

He invested money.
