Chapter 580: Survival of the Fittest! Whip-Up! Commissioner Smith's Defense Breaks!

Big Mi Mi is going crazy. She shouldn’t have contacted Shen San.

He also likes to point fingers at her weight and encourage her to gain weight.

Speechless!
Such a man!
Da Mi Mi quickly changed the subject: "Is it okay for you to say this? Aren't you afraid of affecting yourself?"

"What's the impact?"

After the celebration party, Shen Santong found an opportunity to communicate with Yang Mi.

Both she and Fan Bingbing are good conversationalists.

Very speculative!
Yang Mi was amazed. This man is used to scolding people: "You scolded all literature and movies. How can people be willing?"

"I didn't even spray! Not like you!"

Shen Santong was wronged, and Da Mi Mi was slandering him: "You are cursing and blaming others."

"What did I say?" Yang Mi refused to admit it.

"You are the one who is scolding. Look at what you said. Literature and academic films do not require the participation of others. Making movies and writing to make money are just incidental. Making trouble for others and making them uncomfortable is the real work."

"How dirty are you cursing? Do you think I can't understand you?"

"Stop being so cute with your teeth!"

Shen Santong denied it, "Little girl, don't make a fuss. I didn't even criticize him. I didn't mention him by name, and I didn't say anything more heartbreaking. Whether it's literature or movies, Guo Jingming crushes them all."

"Don't praise him. Let him make money. He just worships money." Yang Mi wants to occupy the commanding heights.

The moral high ground.

Shen Santong certainly couldn't let her occupy the commanding heights: "Even if she returns to literature, Guo Jingming is not bad."

"What is Mo Yan singing praises about? Landlords, the Homecoming Corps, and the like have already disappeared. Even if he writes about the same things that exist now, at least it will be readable."

Da Mi Mi is not illiterate, and she fought back on the spot: "Even if I write it, it won't pass."

"If he wants to write, he can definitely write. We intellectuals have many tricks up our sleeves, and we can't stop them."

Seeing that she dared to fight back, Shen Santong continued to suppress her: "As for movies, let's not talk about the current crap, just look at "Lush Mountain Love" and "The Shepherd". They have the same tone as the TV series "The Way of Heaven", a distant savior, but one is a rich girl from an island and the other is a foreign father."

"To put it bluntly, it's all about benefits. I have a rich father who lives far away. I can leave at any time, or I can choose not to leave. But you have to give me benefits. Don't you have to show some appreciation?"

Big Mi Mi was really surprised, and said seriously: "You don't even like "Lush Mountain Love" and "The Shepherd". If this gets out, you will suffer the consequences!"

"Close the door, what can't you say?"

Shen Santong said unconcernedly, "In comparison, these heirs are all useless. The quality of The Way of Heaven has dropped too much. Through the policewoman character, ah, that desire for power, the drooling look can't even be concealed, the smell of decay, tut tut."

"It's totally rotten. They are really not as good as the seniors in playing. The seniors are so good. They are willing to stay. They hide their intentions for benefits in the second layer, letting the audience interpret it for themselves. They quietly strive for benefits for themselves. This is called high."

Yang Mi was shocked: "Slow down, what you said is a bit shocking to me. The Way of Heaven is actually good, and so are Romance on Lushan Mountain and The Shepherd. You're over-deconstructing it."

It's about speaking slowly, it's not something improper, and it has nothing to do with actions.

Shen Santong waited for her to recover before continuing, "Indeed, Romance on Mount Lushan and The Shepherd are both classics, and The Way of Heaven is of a certain standard."

"But it is also true that they are obviously declining. One is to stay, and the other is to come back from outside to act as a savior. In the past, a play affected most age groups, but now it only affects some middle-aged people."

"Or they deceive young people. In some dramas, those who studied abroad are rich, handsome and attractive. They don't even act, but directly take the main position, grab the steering wheel and crush the locals."

"However, relying on romantic idols as a point of attraction has absolutely no social effect, and in fact has the opposite effect."

Yang Mi didn't agree with all of it, but Shen Santong's statement did have some logic: "So, in comparison, Tiny Times seems 'progressive'?"

Shen Sandong said: "First of all, what Guo Jingming wrote is real. Guo Jingming has experienced this. There are many in our circle as well."

"When you become famous, you become arrogant, competitive and vain. Only the rich have youth, and only the famous can be considered to be in the entertainment industry."

With this analogy, Da Mi Mi fully agreed: "This is right."

Shen Santong continued, "Secondly, Guo Jingming's 'worship of money' is just 'worship of money'. He didn't use it to flatter himself, nor did he pull it in other directions."

"To put it bluntly, it is not used to gain anything else."

"The most important thing is that he has been through high school and has endured the real pressure of the college entrance examination. This kind of madness has negative effects, but it also has positive effects."

"During the college entrance examination, what can't you say? What can't you say? There are many people who can get 400 or 500 points in Tsinghua University and Peking University! Guo Jingming at least tells others that you have to succeed in order to enjoy life, not that studying is useless."

"For his middle and high school readers, the impact is not so bad. On the contrary, it may have a certain promoting effect, and they are working hard to get into first-tier cities."

“When you go to university and enter society, you often say goodbye to your middle school self.”

"There may be some particularly extreme cases, and this is where the negative impact lies."

"But if we have to talk about rubbish, it's those who preach that studying is useless at a critical moment, causing people to lose their temper. This is the most harmful."

Speaking of this, Shen Santong found it quite ridiculous.

What the hell, Guo Jingming is considered “not bad”.

Big Mi Mi could understand what Shen Santong meant by the energy of the senior year of high school, but she was dissatisfied with his ulterior motives: "If you talk about Guo Jingming, just talk about Guo Jingming, and if you talk about Han Han, just talk about Han Han, don't compare the two secretly."

When her big Mi Mi couldn't understand who was the yin and yang of Shen San Tong in the end?
Han Han did make a lot of noise a few years ago and was very popular at the time.

Not enough words to speculate.

No more communication!

Shen Santong was fiddling with his cell phone lively.

Big Mi Mi was discouraged and a little bit rebellious.

Logically speaking, women are better at chatting, but Shen Santong has a lot of private stuff to say and he speaks a lot.

I leaned over to take a look and found that Shen Santong was editing a writing competition.

What this means is that if you think there are problems with Guo Jingming's works, then let the works speak for themselves. Excellent works can win the Santong Entertainment Film and Television Adaptation Award.

Send @ to the official account and person in charge of its novel platform, the official account of Santong Entertainment, and the person in charge of the script.

Da Mi Mi took out her mobile phone and took a look. After Shen Santong’s announcement, a writing competition was launched. There were two formats: novel and script. The theme was limited to urban areas, with elements of campus, love, fashion, youth, etc., and they were collecting wonderful stories.

"You are the one who planned this." Yang Mi is such a smart person that she immediately realized that this was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Shen Santong threw his phone aside after posting: "The values ​​of Tiny Times are indeed problematic, worshipping money and showing off wealth."

"To me, Guo Jingming is part of Santong Entertainment's director plan. It's like buying a horse with a lot of money. Once you buy it, it's natural that it needs to play a role."

"I am now pushing the early preparations to the public. We have found many college students majoring in literature to work on scripts part-time. Santong Entertainment's script reserves have been increasing, but it is still not enough."

"For Santong Entertainment to grow, we must make good use of both the company's internal resources and external resources."

"If you want to be Guo Jingming, then come. As long as you have a good story, Santong Entertainment can match the filming team."

To this day, Shen Santong still looks down on fan movies.

This thing is destined to be just a part of Santong Entertainment's film business, and it is still at the lower end of the contempt chain.

Fan movies don’t last long, but fan movies in mainland China have existed for a long time.

This is what Zhou Jielun played a few years ago.

Zhou Jielun’s image was very “non-mainstream” and it remained the same in 11.

In later generations, Zhou Jie Lun's fans grew up and things changed. Just as adults didn't understand the children who liked Zhou Jie Lun back then, adults in the future won't understand the children who like "Hey, what are you doing?"

It can also be seen from Zhou Jie's remarks that fans' support is not unlimited and their wallets are limited.

After the failure of "刺陵", Zhou Jielun basically left the film industry and it was difficult for her to get a leading role in a film project.

Even for a fan movie, Shen Santong has different ways of playing it.

But that was a few years later.

At this stage, we need to continue to open up and keep Santong Entertainment open.

There are four links: pre-production, mid-term shooting, post-production, and market orientation. All links must be "market-oriented" step by step.

The ultimate goal is to build Santong Entertainment into a platform that connects all links and provides a fair stage for creators.

Shen Santong was also afraid that he would change one day, and the best way was to turn Santong into an entertainment platform.

Referring to Douyin in later generations, no matter who its founder is, this platform plays an irreplaceable role in breaking the value of Western narrative monopoly.

Douyin plays an extremely important role in breaking the filter of the "Shabi Country", which is a country that holds killing competitions.

Shen Santong could not guarantee himself, and he could not guarantee whether people like Guo Fan would change.

Some so-called artists have created some so-called "works" that are extremely decadent in spirit and vulgar in taste, which are a shame to Chinese civilization and the times.

Shen Santong was also afraid that one day he would end up like this.

The best way is to build a platform. Santong Entertainment becomes a platform that connects all links.

The ideal model is the starting point or short video platform, where the audience becomes the creators and the creators are also the audience. The threshold is close to zero, and a large mid- and low-level creative team is established.

However, compared with text content, film and television products have more links and are more difficult.

Shen Santong could only do it bit by bit.

Da Mi Mi probably understood that the man in front of her was going to do something definitely extraordinary.

Actions can be more powerful than words.

"So, you are using Guo Jingming to provoke me?"

Shen Santong shook his head: "I just think it's a little unfair."

"Unfair?" Big Mi Mi didn't understand.

Shen Santong sighed and said, "Guo Jingming is suffering from a bit of traumatic stress. As a young man from a small town, his life should not be bad, but when he went to college, he suddenly entered a completely unfamiliar world.

"Most of his classmates at the university are indigenous people. Here, people from well-off families won't say out loud when they discriminate against outsiders, and most of them are quite cheerful."

"The rejection there was colder than here. To be honest, it was not pleasant. To be frank, the feeling of Chinese living in Xiaomi overturned all of Guo Jingming's previous concepts and even left a psychological trauma. He chose to drop out and did not have much affection for the school when talking about it."

"But life is like this. If you can't get out of yourself, you can't be happy."

"Guo Jingming's talent is unquestionable, but he refuses to grow."

“I started a magazine, and the pressure to update it was huge. I wasted my talent on mechanical work and abandoned the skills I relied on for survival and success.”

"In contrast, regardless of Han Han's past, he has been doing what he likes in recent years, playing racing and stopping to observe society."

"I write essays when I have time. My father and the team can help me revise or even write them. I digest all the true and false things in the past during these years."

"Han Han is growing up, and the things in the past have become a treasure."

"He digested all the material wealth, the fame and wealth readers gained through hype marketing, and the wealth of life."

“This is called the prodigal son’s return.”

"In a few years, the gap between the two will be even more obvious. Guo Jingming will still be in college, while Han Han will have fully entered adulthood."

"I'm talking about true adulthood, where the body and mind are in harmony, the will is strong, and you can laugh at the ups and downs of life."

"As for Guo Jingming, his potential has reached its limit."

"Of course he is also financially independent, but it's a pity, especially compared to Han Han, it feels a bit unfair."

Big Mi Mi captured the point that Shen Santong was struggling with.

It has to be said that Shen Santong has a keen insight into society and human nature. His predictions for the future of Guo Jingming and Han Han were somewhat beyond Yang Mi's expectations, but inexplicably reasonable.

The more I think about it, the more it feels right.

Yang Mi caught a glimpse of the man's talent and somewhat understood why Shen Santong was able to create so many memorable screen characters.

Not only Miss Shen, she can also grasp the "characteristics" of male actors very accurately, and her observation skills are really amazing.

Shen Santong also has some contradictions. On the one hand, he has a domineering and cold side, and on the other hand, he also has a gentle, struggling and humane side.

Da Mi Mi feels like she is falling.

The good brothers are indeed charming and strong in all aspects.

I kind of want to steal my best friend’s things.

Suppressing her annoyance, Da Mi Mi didn't let the words drop, and said venomously: "I don't think there is any fairness or unfairness. The fittest survive. Isn't the biosphere the fittest? The same is true for human society. Fairness is not inevitable. Only those who adapt can live better." With this understanding, Shen Santong looked at Da Mi Mi with a higher opinion: "What you said makes sense."

It just makes sense.

Doesn't mean right.

Has it always been this way?
Many years later, a large company wanted to introduce a mathematical genius, and many official media outlets responded. As soon as the report came out, many people immediately realized that something was wrong.

When you think about it, society has indeed progressed.

On the afternoon of June 6th.

An interesting debate took place.

At the invitation of the Chunqiu Comprehensive Research Institute, Stanford University Professor Francis Fukuyama delivered a keynote speech at the Wenhui Lecture Hall and had a dialogue with Zhang Weiwei, professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and International Relations.

The name Fukuyama was tied together with the "end of history theory", which conformed to the United States' need to "win, win, win" and became popular around the world in the 90s.

The claim that human history ended from then on and ended with the voting system became a popular myth.

Zhang Weiwei tried to summarize and propose the Tongji University model theory based on practical experience.

I can only say that Professor Zhang is indeed very knowledgeable and is much better than Fukuyama.

In later generations, Zhang Weiwei was also deconstructed.

However, he did not wait until the victory or defeat was decided and then quietly change his attitude. Instead, he had held this academic view for a long time.

His analysis and research on one hot topic after another have proven that his academic research direction and methodology are correct.

He is the kind of person who is the most advanced person a student can meet in his/her entire life in school and has real talent and knowledge.

The people Zhang Weiwei quarrels with often carry a label, each with its own endorsement, and it can even be said that they carry part of the Western narrative discourse.

Therefore, Zhang Weiwei is often happy to argue with people who have no academic merit but are able to talk nonsense and have strange tales.

Even if you know that the other party is nothing and is full of prejudice and discrimination, you are still willing to debate, not to win the other party, but to convey your own point of view.

This is what Fukuyama is like. He has many endorsements and is the trumpet of the Citigroup financial empire.

A country without history, a country that has never experienced rise and fall, talking about the end of history is like a three-year-old child who has learned a few words and thinks he has learned all the knowledge. It is so laughable.

Of course, it’s not that funny when you think about it.

Zhang Weiwei simply "acknowledged reality", that is, the existing Western theories were unable to interpret the development of Southeast University, and he began to revise the theories.

In contrast, Western official media always make mistakes and then continue to speak as if nothing happened.

In the 90s, the economy of Southeast University was predicted to be stagnant, facing a hard landing, and entering a dangerous period.

By the 00s, reality had proven that these statements were wrong, but people still kept chanting.

00 "Dongda currency trend nails the coffin of hard landing risk"

01 "Hard Landing at the University of Tokyo"

02: "Tohoku University is eager to seek a soft economic landing"

03: How will the University of East China achieve a soft landing?

04: "Todai: The Great Decline?"

05 "The risks of Dongda's economy are increasing"

06 "Major Risks of Dongda's Economy"

07 "Is the Dongda economy overheating?"

08 "Tokyo University's hard landing once again triggers a global crisis"

09: How Dongda can find a way to recovery

10 "Todai: The Huge Risk That Is About to Happen"

The theme of articles in Western official media over the past decade.

Ten years ago, the tone was still the same.

Ten years later, it remained the same.

Western official media keep repeating the same thing over and over again, but reality proves that what they say is wrong, yet they are still just repeating it on their own.

What is history, what is real, what is truth, what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is evil
None of it matters.

What is important is the position determination, and everything else is up to your own judgment.

Naked nothingness.

Even if reality eloquently proves that Western economics cannot explain the development of Southeast University, there should be a set of theories that conform to the reality of Southeast University to explain the actual development path.

But there is still a group of people who cling to Western economics.

Normally, repeated farting should be eliminated by the market and public opinion.

But there are people pushing the flow.

Suddenly, a certain "economist" made some outrageous remarks at an internal meeting, which instantly dominated the news in all major media spaces.

This is more than just academic, more than just theoretical research in the humanities and social sciences, more than just economics!
The same is true for movies and culture from now on.

Complete idealism, it's dark when you close your eyes.

A stupid band, they eat wild game, live well, make a lot of money from each performance, and talk on stage about "We must survive in the new year" and "Caring for stray animals".

To say that he is filial is an understatement; this is beyond the description of filial piety!
Time has entered July.

The sun is like fire.

Shen Santong is devoted to the release of his eleventh film "Wolf Tooth".

For this play, Shen Santong requested that the focus be on promoting the main creators and downplaying his personal role.

He no longer needs too much exposure, with so many dramas accumulated, he just needs to tell the audience that his movie is released.

Before his reputation is ruined, his past accumulation will be a huge fortune.

Moreover, one or two plays cannot destroy the reputation that Shen Santong has accumulated, unless it is false advertising or fraud.

Shen Santong also set another tone: "Wolf Tooth" does not engage in patriotic marketing.

This life has undergone great changes because of Shen Santong.

In the past, until the first "Wolf Warrior" was released in 15, many people in the theater industry believed that the film's promotion of patriotic sentiments was too explicit before the film was released.

For example, there were several close-ups of the five-star red flag armbands on the arms of the "Wolf Warrior" team members. Some industry insiders even suggested that the close-ups of the five-star red flag armbands must be deleted to avoid causing disgust among the audience.

Wu Jing insisted on not deleting it, and said that "I would rather not have box office success than delete it" because "what's wrong with being patriotic?"

This is the tone of theaters in this life, which is the accumulation of Shen Santong's many dramas. The market has proved that the audience does not hate these elements, which has broken these weird concepts.

Shen Santong has always avoided using patriotic marketing.

Because this is the basic requirement and there is no need to emphasize it.

Of course, whether patriotism can be commercialized is also a boring question.

Patriotism is not a question of whether it can be commercialized. Asking this question itself is a big problem.

Only a country as big and powerful as the University of Tokyo could have such a strong reverse psychology and marginal mentality.

People in the arts and literature field like to dance to the music of the West, but they don’t learn many good things.

Take the United States for example. In every graduation photo of college students used for publicity, the national flag appears.

It is often located in the center of the photo.

Giant national flags in movies and airports are everywhere.

Whether patriotism can be commercialized is a matter of level.

Commercialization is the second layer.

The third level is that if you don’t love enough, you can’t do business well.

It has become a social etiquette, a courtesy that is followed by all. If anyone violates it, the public will attack him/her.

Shen Santong does not engage in this kind of marketing that consumes public sentiment to avoid these becoming fashion items.

This kind of wonder existed in later generations.

It seems to be supportive, but in fact it is against it.

On June 6, the day before July, "Transformers 30" directed by Michael Bay was released simultaneously with the United States.

This year, great strides have been made to relax the restrictions, completely shattering the idea of ​​a domestic film protection month.

As long as the film company sends it, the Film Bureau will release it and China Film will release it simultaneously!
The female lead has changed, but the special effects production is really amazing.

《变形金刚3》自6月30日上映以来，首周四天累计票房已达4.94亿，打破了《囧途3心花路放》创下的各项票房记录。

The box office revenues for the four days of release are:

30日票房1.1亿，7月1日票房1.07亿，2日票房1.32亿，3日票房1.18亿，观影人次破千万！
Among them, the box office of 2 million on the 1.32nd set a new single-day box office record for Dongda Films.

The IMAX and giant screen versions of "Transformers 3" grossed 3200 million in the first three days, setting various new records.

The audience cheered!

It’s so exciting to watch big productions!
Hollywood was in disbelief and collectively excited!
The Dongda market has expanded so rapidly that it has become the world's second largest market this year.

Hollywood giants are salivating over it.

Putting pressure on Michelle's husband's government in various ways!

The Dongda Film and Television Company was in a gloomy mood, full of pessimism and despair.

The difference is too big!
Even the Film Bureau and the above-mentioned departments have to consider whether to tighten the loopholes.

In the first half of the year, not only did it support simultaneous releases, it also introduced several special films. Last year, the domestic films that suppressed Hollywood were suddenly exposed.

The share can only barely exceed half, and this is because the Spring Festival period is supported by Santong Entertainment's "Lost on Journey 3" and "Wu Hou".

That is because they have Santong Entertainment to support it. Otherwise, if the policy is relaxed this time, it will be a complete collapse. The Chinese films, which are as beautiful as flowers, will not be able to compete with Hollywood.

Now that "Transformers 3" is coming, July seems to be unable to hold on.

Some people began to cheer, saying that without the Spring Festival period in the second half of the year, it would be a disaster.

Domestic films are over!

awesome!
"You are not allowed to pop champagne at halftime, you are not allowed to boast that Hollywood has won, you have to boast that the situation of the Dongda Film Group is very good."

Commissioner Smith stressed the importance of discipline: "Hurry up and let people praise our Dongda Films for being so great! Everything will be fine if Shen Santong takes action! We must not let this moment turn into a battle between domestically produced films and Hollywood, which will only boost votes for Shen Santong."

Although Commissioner Smith made a lot of money, he was still full of loyalty in his heart!

"Let's start by praising Shen Santong to the sky. With ten movies as a foundation, even if Wolf Fang achieves exaggerated results, it doesn't mean anything."

"It's just like the hype in advance that Shen Santong would kill Tiny Times. After that, Tiny Times became successful, but the shock factor was greatly reduced. The originally great attempt also became bland."

"That's what we have to do, and we have to do the same with 'Wolf Tooth'. We must not let the domestic films be in danger while we conquer Hollywood. If that's the case, it will stimulate the historical memory of the audiences at Dongda University. In addition, the subject matter of 'Wolf Tooth' will actually help Shen Santong."

Commissioner Smith's mind was working rapidly. This move was actually applying the same trick he used to deal with Dongda University to deal with Shen Santong, exhausting emotions in advance and managing expectations.

By then, even if "Wolf Fang" is successful, it will not mean anything in terms of public opinion.

perfect!

"My bad, commissioner. They've already blown us up." The assistant reported, speechless. Some things are more likely to cause trouble than help.

Seems very loyal but not obedient at all.

"Fuck, motherfuck! These idiots, fuck! Stupid!"

Smith started swearing, and Chinese words also came out. The first things he mastered when learning Chinese were swear words.
