Chapter 644: Cleanse the evil tendencies!

Shen Santong revealed everything that was hidden under the table.

The audience was thoughtful.

In recent years, there have indeed been many films on the subject of the Nanjing Massacre, and they are all big-budget movies.

Huayi has done it, Xingmei has done it, and Zhang Yimou has also done it.

There are all kinds of perspectives, which is ironic, but the Chinese perspective is missing.

Shen Santong explained this in detail.

Some of the reporters and media at the premiere were excited, while some showed a change of expression.

When it came to the question-and-answer session, many journalists held their breath.

A girl in her thirties stood up and said, "A question from a reporter from The Shocking News: Director Shen, there is a craze for oriental culture internationally right now. The Mysterious City is a global hit, Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and 1937 has the potential to win an award. Do you think the movie will win an award?"

She wanted to ask something more extreme, but Santong Entertainment would not tolerate it. It was beyond the scope of the topic. It would be difficult to get first-hand information from Santong Entertainment next time, so she could only be soft-spoken.

Shen Santong said: "We welcome equal exchanges, but Santong Entertainment does not make movies to seek tips from foreigners."

"Shamelessly begging for food, being made a fool of in public, and using one's hard times and difficulties to amuse others, this Santong Entertainment cannot do that."

"'1937' will not be nominated for awards. This kind of subject matter, our suffering, is not meant to gild the creator's personal reputation."

The reporter asked: "With the international cultural craze in the East, is this opportunity going to be wasted?"

Shen Santong said bluntly: "Dongfang is hot? Hot at all! My "The Lost Tomb" is successful because of the interests tied to Warner Bros., so I don't blame my parents."

"The historical perspective of 1937 is a people's historical perspective, and it is open and optimistic about the future. It is difficult for a play like this to win an award."

"I have said many times that this is our nation's difficulty and we do not need outside recognition. Some countries are still the culprits of our suffering. Showing our wounds to the murderer is more unacceptable than crying at the wrong grave."

A male reporter stood up and said, "Phoenix reporter, Director Shen, is your film too derogatory towards the Kuomintang?"

Shen Santong patiently explained: "I have collected it here, just for background. Historically, the Japanese invaders relied on looting for all their equipment and supplies, and their soldiers were all poor."

"After the fall of Shanghai in November 1937, Chiang Kai-shek convened a military meeting to discuss the defense of Nanjing. Most generals, such as Bai Chongxi, advocated abandoning the city. Chiang Kai-shek finally decided to put up a symbolic resistance for more than ten days."

"It was still the capital at that time, and he used it for his performance. Whether he defended to the death or decided to give up, it was better than playing both sides."

"Tang Shengzhi ordered the withdrawal of the Yangtze River ferry to show his determination, declaring that he would live and die with Nanjing. On December 12, he suddenly issued a withdrawal order, causing the military and civilian crossing system to completely collapse."

"The order to retreat was conveyed verbally, but no specific plan was arranged, and the army retreated in chaos. The German-equipped troops such as the Training Corps were still fighting fiercely in Zijin Mountain on the morning of the 13th because they had not received the order."

"Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 72nd Army, hid in a brothel, and some officers of the 88th Division changed into civilian clothes."

"It's not that we don't have equipment, nor that we don't have people who fight to the death. There are many who sacrifice their lives for their country. The Chinese people have always been tough."

"The problem is that the Kuomintang government is a comprador government. I didn't portray it too much in my film, really, to save face for the Kuomintang."

Phoenix reporter asked: "What about Rabe? What about the safe zone established by foreigners? There are not many scenes of that in the movie."

Shen Santong was speechless, but he still explained: "I'll say it again, the Nanjing Massacre was mainly our business. We will not forget their contributions. We are a nation that knows how to repay kindness, but the suffering is our suffering. There is a primary and secondary perspective in the film."

In fact, the safe zone is not safe either.

Lacking armed protection and with only 500 policemen who had laid down their weapons, the Japanese troops openly entered, raping and looting.

There were 438 documented cases of group rape, food reserves were barely enough for two weeks, and a "black market for human flesh" emerged.

Shen Santong did not say anything bad about those who were willing to help, but it would be impossible to over-characterize them either.

Phoenix reporter asked again: "Although the Communist Party is not described in the main part of your film, it is undoubtedly portrayed everywhere. The same is true for the ending song. What is your criterion for distinguishing the main and the secondary? At that time, Nanjing was the capital of the National Government and there were not many Communists."

Hearing this, Shen Santong said sarcastically: "You have read it carefully and you know that Nanjing is the capital of the National Government."

"I just said that I had saved face. Since my journalist friends are asking, I will say something that will not save face."

"How damned rubbish was Chiang? It can be said that his greatest historical achievement was that he could be compared with our party."

"To use the words of the entertainment industry, this is our party giving him a promotion." "Those in the Chiang Kai-shek regime who actually controlled three provinces were Li Bai and Huang, those who actually controlled more than one province were Fu Zuoyi and Ning Ma, and those who actually controlled one province were Yan Xishan, Qing Ma, Long Yun, and Sheng Shicai."

"Sichuan still has two powerful warlords, and Shanxi, Shandong, and Jiangsu have remnants of the Northeast Army. They have never touched Tibet or Inner Mongolia."

"Why did Chiang Kai-shek steal Long Yun without caring about his reputation? If he hadn't done it, Long Yun and Liu Wenhui would have actually controlled the southwest together."

"Now some people are praising the autumn-leaf begonias of the Republic of China. It's ridiculous!"

“Now many people think that it was only Chiang Kai-shek who was defeated by the PLA in three years, but that is not the case.”

"The People's Liberation Army is truly sweeping across the country, sweeping away Chiang the Damn and these warlords and military leaders."

"At the same time, additional problems were solved, including British warships on the Yangtze River, the garrison in Dongjiaominxiang, the US base in Qingdao, and the customs controlled by Britain."

"Three years later, no country in the world dared to ask for an indemnity of 2.6 billion silver dollars."

"By the way, Baldy gave up his claim on the book even though the compensation still needed to be repaid!"

"Without the PLA, would Baldy dare to bark at Hong Kong Island, Dalian and Lushun, North Korea, or the Paracel Islands? Would he bark at Britain, the Soviet Union, the United States, or France?"

"The bald man and his servants are very clear about their quality. They never said anything about the above matters. They bowed lower than others when accepting the surrender document. They dared not speak Chinese in the UN meeting."

Some people in later generations said that if Baldy had fled to the southwest or Australia in 194, the history books' evaluation of him would have been completely different.

That's all a joke.

His attributes determine that he is a turtle son.

This statement is similar to the situation that if Ermao turned his guns around and stopped fighting with the equally miserable Dama, he would have already invaded Europe.

But they are puppets, how is this possible!

Later actors sold Ermao's mineral interests to many companies, and the bald man also sold all the interests of rivers, lakes and seas to the United States.

Saying that bald men are the most capable compradors is pure exaggeration.

It’s not that they are good at fighting, it’s that China has a vast land and a large population, and the people nurtured by the thousands of years of culture of this land are of good character!
In later generations, there was a group of people on the Internet who recognized their fathers and kowtowed habitually when talking about relations between countries.

It's either against the US or something else. Where did it come from? It's from the island.

What is the source of the island? The source is right here!
They are used to being dependent and don't understand what backbone is!

Shen Santong's words made many reporters look very excited.

It is understandable if the netizens are Apple fans, but if the mainlanders are Apple fans, it is pure brain-dead.

From Japan, to the United States, and then to the island, Shen Santong slapped them all in the face.

"Apple fans are very good at fantasizing that they can rest on the PLA's merit list, thinking that they have done nothing and are therefore entitled to enjoy the nine-dash line and cherish the memory of the begonia leaf!"

"We are where we are today because of the People's Liberation Army and the Communist Party. They drove out foreign humiliation, restored China, wiped the blood off our bodies, and buried our comrades."

"It was they who swept away all our historical baggage, cleaned up the country, and removed the mountains from our shoulders. The words on the Monument to the People's Heroes are truly worthy of their name."

"Nowadays, people are talking about history written by the victors. In fact, Chiang's historical status after his death is precisely because he was the loser of this war."

"The Liberation War was won, China was rebuilt after a century of destruction, and the heavy burden was lifted because of the union of all forces, including workers, peasants, students, national capital, and small and medium-sized landlords."

Shen Santong said solemnly: "History cannot be modified. This is an established fact. Modifying history will only bring turmoil."

"We are a socialist country. Only socialism can unite the Chinese people into a dragon that fights against heaven and earth."

"Therefore, anyone who fantasizes about destroying the social infrastructure, revising history, and undermining authority for personal or group interests is an enemy we should kill, no matter who he is or what position he holds."

Shen Santong said: "I attended the premiere today and stole the spotlight from director Kang Laoge just to avoid people misreading "1937". I am against pro-Japanese sentiment and blind action. I am only pro-China and the People's Republic of China. This is my attitude and position. There is nothing to hide and nothing to say."

"That's it. I've said everything that needs to be said. Thank you everyone. Please ask questions to other creators."

Shen Santong never tires of explaining just to cleanse the bad tendencies and evil practices!
